    This person praised Mehdi's knowledge in the debate. "I gotta say, the few of these types of videos I’ve seen clips from, the person hasn’t been argumentative enough. Has been too afraid to really drop the hammer on people. Mehdi IS that guy and I have loved every clip I’ve seen from this video. Knows his stuff and isn’t afraid."
