"...(1) After this exchange at the very start of the program, I did some fast internet searching on Ashraf al-Bayoumi and learned that he fled Egypt during the Gamal Abdel Nasser period, that he got his education in the United States, and that he filled a prestigious academic position in the United States. With this information in hand, I then went after him a second time, saying how disgraceful it was that he sought refuge in the United States and then abused our hospitality so badly by going back to Egypt and becoming a leading hate-America voice. I am told by someone who saw the show that Al-Bayoumi was visibly not enjoying this exchange."...
