0:00.0 | Federal agents detained and questioned Hassan Piker at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, |
0:04.9 | and I don't care if you love him, you detest him, you don't know who the hell this big, bodied, |
0:10.0 | small-headed bastard who every picture looks like he wants to make out with himself is. |
0:14.0 | But the situation and this news, at the very least, it should make you somewhat concerned, |
0:18.0 | because it's not just this outlier situation that's happening in a bubble. |
0:20.9 | But for some of y'all that don't know, Hassan is one of the biggest political streamers out there. |

1:26.2 | They knew who I was and they were ready to, they were ready to receive me. |
1:31.7 | Let's just say, and it wasn't a very warm welcome. |
