The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth has a scary feeling that Trump will win again but says it would not be the end of the world; he cannot understand Americans' resistance to free health care.

In more detail

A viewer asks who is winning the US election. Mufti Abu Layth says he has a scary feeling that Donald Trump is going to win again, which would not be awesome news given the rhetoric and the rise of the far right, but would not be the end of the world. He says Trump is a spanner in the works for the conspiratorial belief that corporations and the administration are one monolith, since he is a billionaire opposed by the media and the administration. Mufti says he does not know whether Biden is a better person, and that he cannot understand why many Americans do not support a free national health service, which in Europe is a given.

[laughter] he says that what can we say except that the lord watched over us Allah Allah Allah people let's move on somebody said the analyst Mr. Laith, are you Mr. Laith? Do you mind touching? [laughter] What kind of a sting up is this? Do you mind touching? Huh? [laughter] Where's the Do you mind touching interfaith marriages again?

Having a mid20s crisis here. Well, I've got a very detailed video on that. You can check it out. Interfaith marriages. You naughty naughty. You you you you. Right. So, let's take a look at some of these questions. Miy, who's winning the election? I don't know. You know, that's a tough one.

I I I I have this scary feeling that Donald Trump is just going to win again. I I Yeah. I mean it's it's not obviously it's not awesome news [laughter] but I I feel he will I you know if he does win if he does win I think you know I look at the end of the day and allah he's already been in for so long and you know it's not the end of the world obviously it's not good some of the the rhetoric the rise of the

far right but I think it's not the uh end of the world if he does you know people will inshallah soldier through it people it's interesting because in many ways Trump has uh he's like a spanner in the works for many things because I you see there used to be this belief that this almost this conspiratorial belief oh the corporations the administration the you know the the powers to be are these one monolith with he is a prime example that it's not in harmony

that he although he's a billionaire and and part of the corporations yet the media is against him and the administration is kind of against him. It's really weird because if he if he was a poor person you could understand but he is a billionaire and he is you know emblematic of the corporations yet he is versus the administration.

I think it's a real mind um shaft that is going on here. So and I don't know whether to be honest with you Biden is a better person. I don't know why people feel that maybe he's more he's obviously more diplomatic and a lot more but then I don't get you know Americans I guess I just won't get them and it in some things I can't till today understand um how Americans don't all are not in support of a a medical a

national medical service a a health service like like how can they not have free healthcare and not want it? [laughter] I'm paying taxes. [laughter] Hi Americans. I don't get that. It's like, you see, just when you think you understand uh America, you you realize there, you know, and I'm sure that's not everyone, but that's many Americans.

I think they find it odd that there should be a national health service, a free health service. Why should we pay for healthare? Why should we pay out of our taxes? It's like, well, because everybody would have free healthcare, [laughter] you know? It's to us it's like in Europe it's a like that's just a given like it's not even it's a non-negotiable although it's a shame with the you know the tries here but still yeah somebody said made her account private after

I mentioned her marriage to Yaser Pasta I know that's not the original. Look, I did not I I you can look I did say last week I'm not interested in being petty. Okay, I'm not petty. Ruthless maybe not petty. So, you know, when somebody backs off, I back off. It was only when people publicly attack me that I retaliate and respond publicly.
