HASAN PIKER | Politics Online, Fashion, Mr. Beast?

Were you worried about what the 145% tariffs were doing to small businesses
here in the U.S.?
Is that why you're bringing him down?
No, no.
No, I...
Should I call him again?
Yes.
But China's not doing any business.
They were doing...
Adam Freeland keeps calling me.
Yo, what's up?
I'm live.
As-salamu alaykum.
Hassan, how are you, Habibi?
I'm good.
What's up?
What's going on?
Okay.
It's Friday.
It's Friday, finally.
It's happening.
Okay.
What's happening?
Your episode is coming out.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
It's finally happening.
It's here, Hassan.
I'm overjoyed.
Thank you.
And I just want to thank you for your friendship.
And the solidarity that you've shown me throughout this entire crazy period of
my life.
Okay.
The answer is yes.
I will hide you.
Hey, guys.
Ladies and gentlemen, the bitch is back.
It's Adam Freeland.
I've come back.
Listen, it's been a month.
We've been gone.
And, um, I don't know.
I should be honest.
There have been a lot of changes in my life.
And, uh, I'm feeling good again.
You know?
Uh, the good news is I got engaged to a woman.
Um, what else?
I read the Koran, finally.
I finally got around to re-watching Donnie Darko, which I found to be just as
trippy as the first time that I saw it when I was a baby.
Today is the final installment of our last episode series.
The guest is Hassan Piker.
Many people have noted that he was, uh, perhaps a protege of mine.
Um, I think we finally passed the torch during this episode.
I think the, the teacher has become the ma- the master- what is it?
The master has become the student.
The master has become the student.
The hunter has become the hunted.
Um, next month, the new season of the Adam Friedland Show will be launching.
This is, um, this is a massive roll of the dice on my part.
Um, throwing my life savings behind the pro- the project right now.
Um, my partner has moved on.
I just can't stand what's happening right now in this country.
I can't sit back and watch democracy be assaulted over and over again.
But, uh, I know how to fix this.
And you have to trust me, America.
So next month, it begins.
Get ready, folks.
I guess I'll end this by saying what no one has the fucking guts to say.
President Donald John Trump.
You're fired.
Fucking doing your, doing your fucking clown shit.
Yeah, no, no clown shit here.
No clown shit.
What do you want me to, do you want me to, are we rehearsing the walk?
Like, is there a specific type of walk?
Do you need to rehearse it?
I thought you were a physically fit man.
Ladies and gentlemen, a special introduction today.
Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines hero as a mythological or legendary figure,
often of divine descent, endowed with great strength.
An illustrious warrior, a person admired for achievements and noble qualities.
One who shows great courage.
But to me, my hero is our next guest.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Turkish political commentator, Hassan Piker,
everyone.
Nice muscles, dude.
Thank you.
Okay, you got a great bob, though.
Thank you.
Great arms, great chest.
Have you, you've had, how long have you been getting muscles for?
Um, yeah, I used to be really, uh, super fat.
And then I, uh, moved to L.A.
And I was living with a bunch of personal trainers.
So sick.
And, uh, no, it's because I was broke.
Do you attribute any, any modicum of your success to, just to being a big,
strong guy?
Being attractive?
Yeah, if you were, like, a Quasimodo, would people be listening to you about,
like...
No.
I mean, people would probably still be listening, but, like, not to the same
degree.
They wouldn't be looking, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think, like, this is actually kind of serious.
I'm gassing myself up a little bit, which is weird.
Get serious.
But, um, I do think that, like, there's a lot of these, like, Andrew Tate types
out there, right?
Uh-huh.
Which is really funny, because he's, like, I mean, he dresses super European,
like, super gay.
Like, unimaginably gay.
He wears, like, those little slipper loafers and, like, super tight pants.
There's this entire, like, new wing of, I guess, right-wing adjacent content
creators that are all, like, former life insurance salesmen and shit.
And they all present themselves as, like, super masculine alpha dogs.
And I feel like the way I look kind of counters that a little bit, because,
like, you know, you look like the archetypical, stereotypical leftist guy.
What is that supposed to mean?
Just handsome.
You're coming on my damn show and fucking sunning my ass immediately?
Do you dress gay like Andrew Tate says that?
No, I just dress gay because I'm gay.
No.
But I'm saying that-
You got stylists and stuff?
No.
How much Rick Owens have you bought?
This is the only-
This is the Doc Martens one, and these are the only-
Those are literally the Colabo Rick Owens?
Yeah.
They're sick, though.
They're super comfy.
And also relatively affordable, like, 300 bucks.
Wait, so, let's back up.
You grew up in Turkey?
Yeah.
What's, like, the vibe there?
Chill.
You think?
I think, yeah.
I was in an econ class in college, freshman year.
Mm-hmm.
Like, 8 a.m. class, and there was, like, a crew of internationals, and they all
were, like,
people were wearing Hermes, like, belt, Gucci shoes.
Yeah.
Like, you know, the kind of, like, the international students at college, they
had blast cigs outside
of the library.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I was, like, they were all talking some type of language.
Uh-huh.
I'm, like, what the fuck kind of language is that?
Yeah.
And it was your, it was what?
My people's language?
Turk.
What's it called?
Turkish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It was that language.
They were all-
It's very like-
Is it like that?
Yeah, it's very, like, milk throat.
I don't know if that's Turkish, bro.
No.
What is it?
I feel like Turkish is more, like, um-
Like a snobby Arabic.
Like, we're a little bit European.
That definitely is the vibe.
You're 100% right.
Turks would get very mad if you ever call them Arab.
Like, they're not Arab anyway, but, like, still, there's, like, Arabic
background.
Yeah, everyone thinks that's some type of Arab over here.
Yeah, Turkey, also rebranded under Erdogan, uh, it's called Turkiya now.
Like, they changed it.
They're, like, everyone has to say the, you know, the Turkish, uh, way of
saying Turkey.
That's kind of, that, that, I like that, actually.
I don't think people are doing it, though.
No?
No.
People don't, I mean, that's kind of disrespect if someone's just making up a
different name
for your country.
I don't care.
Let's back up, uh, because my audience is, like, pretty mature intellectual
style.
So, um, many of them might-
I've seen the subreddit.
Many of them might not know, I don't know what you're talking about.
Many of them might not know, like, you know, streaming or games or whatever,
Minecrafts
or whatever.
So, could you, like, just explain for our audience, like, what, what it is,
like, how would you
explain what it is that you do?
The way I, uh, explain it to, you know, like, mainstream media people is, like,
I'm basically
like, uh, Rush Limbaugh without crippling opiate addiction or brain cancer.
But you're just as, you're just as hateful and white, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Against white people, though.
It's like a reverse Rush Limbaugh.
You, you're, you hate white people?
No, I love white people.
I'm white.
You do that.
Because I have a Turkish friend that tries to play it like he's, uh.
He tries to play it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He tries to play it like he's not, uh, like he's not, you're from the Euro side
of Istanbul.
But, like, you have to just know everything?
Like, you have to have an opinion, right?
I mean, I, I do.
Yeah, but, like, that's, you have to have an opinion on something, right?
Not really.
No, but you're doing it.
There's plenty of things I don't have an opinion on.
You're doing it in real time, right?
Yeah.
So, like, you're, like, streaming eight hours a day.
A news article drops and then you just drop, drop knowledge on it, right?
Yeah.
But, like, that's really fast.
Yeah.
But, like, what if you're wrong?
Um, sometimes I do get stuff wrong.
Like, I'll, I'll have.
Like, the whole Israel thing?
Wait, can I try it?
Can you just, like, let's say, give me a breaking news?
Okay.
And you want to give the tape?
And then I'm going to do, I'm going to give an opinion.
Okay, breaking news.
Because I have an opinion on, I don't believe in anything anymore.
Okay.
So, now I'm going to try to do your thing.
Breaking news.
The United Nations have come out with a new report that halves the number of
child and women fatalities
since October 7th and the latest siege that Israel conducted in Gaza.
I don't understand what any of those words mean.
Can you make an easier one?
Like, what, Kamala Harris, like, got shot in the head or something?
That's an easier one?
Okay.
That halves.
Vice President.
Halves the October 7th.
Okay.
What are you even going there for?
I gave you a real USA Today headline from yesterday.
Just tell me one, just make one up.
You say it just happened.
And I got to be on Hassan baby stream.
Okay.
And I got to, like, go like this and, like, tell me.
I have to tell the kids.
Okay.
So, give me one.
Okay.
After a visit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Joe Biden, shit in his diapers.
After a visit with Chinese leader, dude.
You asked for an easy one.
Give it to me.
Let's run it again.
Okay.
After a visit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Joe Biden was reported to shit in
his diapers.
That's what I would have said, actually.
That's, you just, bro, are you coming for my shit?
Yeah, that's, I'm just, I'm just shooting from the hip.
I went on your street, right?
Uh-huh.
And I was shocked.
You have 25,000 people that are just constantly watching.
What you're doing has more of a similarity, and this isn't condescending, to,
like, Jake Paul than, like, Wolf Blitzer, right?
Because you are, to some extent, a content creator online that interfaces with
an audience, right?
When I started writing and, like, doing video essays and stuff on the Young
Turks, like, the space online for leftist political commentary was super
marginal.
Like, it was non-existent.
Uh-huh.
And there were some, like, old-school radio talk show guys, like, you know, Sam
Seder.
I would say Cenk was a little bit on that, like, left-adjacent content creator
side on the internet.
But everything was dominated by right-wing politics.
And all these fucking neck-bearded nerds were just, like, really annoying.
They weren't cool.
They were not charismatic.
They were not entertaining.
And they were basically...
And it was video games, too.
Video, like, a lot of...
Yeah, they, I mean, but I like video games, too.
I play video games as well.
And I knew, like, I knew that there was enough people that had similar opinions
to myself that would appreciate a perspective that they rarely get to hear.
From a dude who isn't, like, a super Tumblr guy.
Because there was definitely, at this time...
What's a Tumblr guy?
Like, a dude who, like, people that grew up on Tumblr.
Like, there were a lot of people on the left.
You used to be able to beat off from Tumblr, but they got rid of it.
I never really went on Tumblr, so I can't speak.
They used to show stuff you could beat it off to, and then they got rid of it.
Like, furry porn?
Is that what you're talking about?
Furry porn?
Furry porn, yeah.
And that's what they had on Tumblr, no?
You have a real specific way that you cum?
A real specific way?
Sometimes?
Sometimes?
You need, like, a whole...
If I cum so hard, I can...
I literally cramp on my abs.
That's not what I'm asking.
What are you asking?
You need, like, a scenario that's, like, this is the one thing that makes me
feel like God or something.
Because for me, it's just kissing girl, you know, I love you.
Kind of missionary.
Kind of over doggy at this point.
Deep staring into the eyes.
Do you think doggy is queer?
Do I think doggy is queer?
Yeah, even if it's with a girl, it's a little bit, like...
It's a little gay?
It's not...
It's, like, a little bit...
I get what you're
