This clip is over two months old, but it doesn't appear to have been posted in the thread back when it was originally uploaded on Hasan's Twitch. This is from April 5, when he went to that Pro-Palestine protest in DC. After the protest, he decided to take a taxi to his next destination. The driver turned out to be an Iranian. The clip is a great example of what happens when "working class hero Hasan" meets a working class 3rd worlder who disagrees with him and who Hasan can't "debate" using his usual tactics. Source (Youtube)
The driver seems to have had a really interesting life, but Hasan "1 %" Piker barely asks anything about it because the guy doesn't agree with Hasan's view of the world. Throughout the video, Hasan keeps the same sour look on his face. At the end, he's clearly seething because he couldn't pigeonhole the driver as a Trump/Shah supporter or shut down the driver by accusing him of being a zionist racist bourgeois bigot.
I'm surprised he didn't ask the driver if he likes anime.
– The taxi driver asks Hasan where he got his dress from.
– The driver asks what Hasan wants from the Pro-Palestine movement and Hasan says his piece. The driver says he agrees that the US shouldn't be helping Israel in their war against Gaza, because if other countries want to wage war, they need to do it without using American money.
– The driver says that Iran is spending money on nuclear weapons.
– The driver says that Nostradamus predicted that there was going to be a WW3 between Iran and Israel.
– Hasan: "so it seems like you're siding with Iran against Israel. Based"
Taxi driver: "No." Then, he reveals he doesn't like the Iranian government and says that the mullahs are Arabs, not Persian.
– Hasan's friend asks him if he likes Mohammad Mosaddegh. "He was kind of a socialist right?" The driver says that he likes Mosaddegh, but he thinks he was wrong for wanting to abolish the monarchy at the time because Iranians didn't have as much knowledge as the British and other Europeans.
– The driver says he participated in anti-shah demonstrations as a student in Germany, which is where he met his wife.
– Hasan interrupts the driver to ask if he likes Trump. He says yes, if he doesn't make the same mistakes as Obama and Biden. He then says that Obama and Biden were wrong to unfreeze Iranian funds, because the regime then used the money to fund Hamas and Lebanon/Hizbollah to attack Israel while the Iranian people got none of the money. Meanwhile, Hasan is typing on his phone while looking bored and uncomfortable.
– Hasan suddenly and urgently wants to get out of the car and walk NOW NOW NOW! Even though there's two miles left.
– The taxi driver continues talking about the 60 billion dollars Biden released and how he hopes Trump doesn't listen to the Iranian government. He says "your folks are protecting the Iranian government but Iranian people are not happy with that" and that the government spends 30 % of the oil money on terrorism and the remainder of the money on their kids who live outside of Iran. Hasan is still typing on his phone while looking bored and uncomfortable.
– Hasan's friend asks if he ever goes back to Iran. The taxi driver says he was there last summer. He then asks "Do you want to report me?"
– The taxi driver says that Nostradamus predicted that Kennedy was going to be murdered and that the wrong guy was going to get caught.
– Hasan tries to steers away the conversation from Iran funding terrorism and back to Mosaddegh. He says he doesn't think America has a right to control Iran's oil money. The taxi driver says that as a superpower, America has a right to prevent people from starting wars. Hasan huffs and puffs arrogantly multiple times and says "I DISAGREE" while interrupting the driver.
– The driver asks Hasan what he thinks about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Hasan says "no it's wrong because they're killing people". The driver then says that that's exactly his point, that Biden unfreezing the oil money allows Iran to continue waging war. He thinks the Iranian money should be used to buy medication and food that can then be sent directly to the Iranian people. He says Trump must listen to people like him inside and outside of Iran. Hasan agrees half-heartedly while looking grumpy.
– The driver mentions the murder of Mahsa Amini and that Iranians have been demonstrating for one and half year. He says Congress and others should listen to the people and see what they need.
– Hasan: "I think we're going to have to walk it SIR"
and then he and his friendflee get out of the car.
