The Mehdi Hasan Show - October 24, 2021

Mehdi starts things off talking about increasing extremism in the Republican party - including a QAnon convention in Las Vegas where many Republican politicians are in attendance - with Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali and Mother Jones Washington Bureau Chief David Corn. Then, Minnesota Senator Tina Smith discusses where things stand with the ongoing infrastructure bill talks on Capitol Hill. For Mehdi’s “60-second rant”, he puts the spotlight on the 50 GOP senators who voted against Americans’ voting rights. Mehdi is then joined by activist Ady Barkan, who talks about his inspirational fight for improved healthcare in the country. Mehdi then addresses the recent decision by the Israeli government to label six Palestinian human rights groups as terrorist organizations. Mehdi ends the show with a chat with fellow MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin about Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s bounty for evidence of voter fraud - which led him to reward an unexpected tipster.
