Spoken with more courage than a true journalist. Fantastic. A tremendous risk you took in confronting these people. The ending is extraordinary. Where you mention it only takes 4 million dollars to buy congress. Extraordinary. Hasan, you took a risk being so poignant with these people but your voice is extremely important. You have humanized the argument. :))

[@tunafishjoe]

He didn't say anything new. He lives in a liberal bubble, like he said. What gun control policy could have stopped even a quarter of the mass shootings in the US? Everyone's calling for more gun control, but what policy could have stopped most of the mass shootings?

[@Blocktimusprime]

So since we can't confirm a 100% success rate in your hypothetical, we should continue to try nothing new? Because why....freedom? Why is it that gun rights advocates are always so quick to poke holes in legislation that they won't even look into but when we point out that allowing open access to firearms hasn't worked and the "good guy with a gun" theory isn't working, they just ignore it? It's insanely ballsy to say that something doesn't work as terrorists are using legally purchased guns to murder citizens thanks to the failed system you support.

[@tunafishjoe]

Nick Nunez But open access to guns has worked. Gun deaths and mass shootings have been in steady decline since the 90's, and gun ownership has doubled since then! I beg you to look up the statistics. Watching the news you'd think that these rates have gone up, but they haven't!

[@tunafishjoe]

Nick Nunez But I hear ya. I don't think 100% success rates are necessary, but tell me what policy would have been even 10% successful. Just 10%, please.

[@Blocktimusprime]

Banning assault rifles. Wouldn't have stopped the Orlando shooter because he was a security guard, but maybe legislation to track and limit ammunition for assault weapons for private security guards. The ban could have drastically limited deaths in San Bernadino. I understand where you're coming from, and legislation for the sake of looking like you're getting something done is not just counterproductive but dangerous. it's 2:41 am where I'm at and I'm not a lawmaker, so I don't have a solid piece of legislation off the top of my head. But the fact that keeping assault weapons out of the hands of people on the no-fly list was voted down is pretty inexcusable.

If you're a foreigner or a Liberal hating on our Constitution. Face it nut, the second Amendment was created to protect people from a tyrannical government.

It was meant to change with the context of each era.

Thank you Hasan, for shedding light on the NRA lobby & calling for action from Congress.

[@tunafishjoe]

While it's despicable that money can buy politics, the NRA is a non-profit organization funded by average citizens. To demonize the NRA is to demonize the American people and the legitimate concerns those people represent.

[@Blocktimusprime]

I think Hasan was a little off on this part. I don't think Congress is responding to the money they receive as much as they're responding to the implicit threat that if you are a Republican congressperson and you vote against their lobby's interests, they will carpet bomb your state with ads about how this congressperson doesn't think you should be able to keep your family safe and then throw tons of cash behind a primary challenger. I think if that's the case, the real battle starts with open, honest, and productive conversations between citizens. I'm from NYC where you just don't need a gun (especially because it's not the 70s anymore). But I spent some years in rural PA in a county where a guy murdered a State Trooper and went hiding in the woods near my house for 6 weeks with an assault rifle. The nearest police station was 45 minutes away, so yeah, I felt safer having a gun in my house. My neighbors in PA thought I was a liberal NY pansy for not already having a gun, and my neighbors in NYC thought I was turning into a lunatic gun nut when I went to the range. There's just a fundamental misunderstanding between communities, and I think that once we stop talking in pre-written talking points and actually communicate, we can come to a sensible agreement. But maybe not, I'm high on Ambien right now and feeling ambitious.

David Coker as well as how would the commies take your constitutional rights

[@Sold.Out.For.Freeee]

Hasan’s fearlessness inspires me to fight harder for my country.

[@KimberlyKimbrough1]

Hasan, I saw PRESIDENTIAL qualities in you with this. YOU actually could run and become a United States President! Well said!

[@gasolineandwine]

I hope you don't mean that seriously. He's a comedian, not a politician, just like Donald Trump is just a reality tv host, not a president.

[@alloveryetstill]

His values are humanistic collective and thoughtful. He would be ten times the president of orange hair. Wait what's ten times nothing

[@abzcabz9211]

@@gasolineandwine he was a comedian nothing comedy about hasan he have more more words to describe how great is great America right now

[@chrismarco17]

How does Hasan not have his own show yet?!?!

[@gyanfranciskumar]

brown skinned and muslim maybe？

[@taymaalahmad4554]

He does now It's on Netflix

[@globalcitizenn]

@@taymaalahmad4554 It’s gone now. Too much truth for TV

[@SanaZub]

WOW, JUST WOW. absolutely amazing speech with a beautiful ending. Well done Hasan.

[@loln00bsify]

That mic drop at the end...

[@criticalcrash]

Amazing. AMAZING. AMAZING. I want to see and hear more from Hasan and people like him in the media.

[@universal7564]

My jaw drops at his delivery. IMpressive. Good job, he's doing his part making this world a better place. God bless.

[@Phallomancer]

The sheer boredom and contempt on some of their faces as he tries to talk some sense into them breaks my heart.

[@Lauren-fi2rd]

I love his pin though I’m 3 years late tho

[@grimwatcher]

I love how uncomfortable he's made them feel. Hasan was obviously well aware this show would do better on KZbin than at he dinner itself lol

[@AlteregoKoda]

Oh my God, the end though. Powerful. Hasan is amazing.

[@Nightsu]

Comedians know how to hold attention in a serious speech, class from Hasan.

[@FreePokemonCards609]

am i the only one whos watched this like 5 times lol?

[@uzi6497]

nope i come back to this and the correspondence dinners speech from time to time. its gold

[@CEEEEEEEEENA]

This was absolutely EPIC .. Hasan totally nailed the problem . Hopefully the fucking congress listened to it more clearly .

[@hitzncritzmobilegaming9988]

I did not expect that ending but glad I watched the whole video.

[@Swimm12984]

He starts to dig in at 10:38

[@ajaycbaby8837]

Hasan's legacy is going to be great. His family should be proud of him. I would not be shocked if his name appears in a history book 30 to 40 years from now.

[@stvsueoka1]

This guy should be the Daily Show host

[@dangoruiz3259]

This. Trevor Noah should be let go.

[@wasimqader]

lol what a joke ....America will never accept a Muslim as a daily show host

[@AhsanY2K]

Daily Show audience is the most liberal on the planet. If there ever was a place to pull it off, Daily Show would be it.

[@nergenslander]

I think both are pretty darn good in a very different way, but I have to admit that what you said here did cross my mind after I watched this. Hasan just came the closest to John Stewart in being a real threat to the establishment by confronting them head on and without fear. I would not be saddened if they switched roles.

[@somanoma6465]

Naaaaaah he seems too Muslim for it

[@tenzinkunkey8937]

Hasan, you are so amazing! I feel you and it’s good that you spoke up for so many people in such a space without any support from the ‘special’ audience. Keep going.

[@anjaligrover4648]

you are brilliant.. so proud of your wit, gut and raw intelligence...

[@lanyoshadang4104]

One of the best roast that I've come across, a powerful performance from a comedian that made the room very uncomfortable, and that's how we know it hit home run. Comedy comes from pain. The reality is often harsh, we gotta face it and keep on pushing to make it less harsher and comedy is one way to do that.

[@flickflick4956]

Spoken with such genuine passion. He has my utmost respect.

[@FullBloodedAznGrl]

I was tearing up at the end OMG could listen to him talk for hours tbh
