First he starts out by talking about how it makes no difference both Trump and Biden are going to be pro Zionist, Muslims should not vote for Biden because they worry that Trump is going to be worse and he says to engage in the system to punish the democrats for their Zionist alignment so that they will re-orient their foreign policy to win back the minority and Muslim vote and the congressional election will be int two years and will put Trump back in check.
But also if Biden loses for his support for Isreal and not for his declining mental capacity or the economy, it will show that he was punished for his support in the Gaza war and that will be disastrous for Isreal because it's something Trump cannot remedy later which is the invincibility of Isreal
On the impact and importance of Muslim civic participation he says:

"And then somebody comes to me and says to me what is the point? Starmer is worried because that threatens something in the system, in that it gives oxygen to the potential for a new revolutionary movement that can break the two party system in the UK and even in the US itself. So the calculations of Starmer and Biden in the US is as long as these people(Muslims) don't engage in the system i'm safe, because i can control it. The only reason it is collapsing and flailing it's because these people(Muslims) keep engaging with it, they keep protesting, they keep doing the activism, they keep using the courts, they keep using the media, they keep training new leaders, they keep training new media people, they keep building their masajids, because they build and because of their engagements we're in trouble.
If they say to me there's no point and go home alhamdulillah let them go let, go and stay away so that people participating and influencing the system they can have control over them and this is the point.
The premise of the the question is if the is if the system is falling (western political system) why participate? but go back one step why is the system falling ? , its because we keep pushing and pushing when the Muslims came in to build the masjid they lobbied for the rights of the masjid, they lobbied for the rights of the Imams, they lobbied for the rights of Jummah, they lobbied for the rights of Eid, i dont under play these things. Why? because this was the start of the long trend''
Then he goes on to explain why people like farage and the far right are worried when Muslims started building institutions. How the institution building and influence grows via masjid and zakat and expands etc. how this is leading to western citizen resonating with the Dawah coming out from non-muslims and muslims alike that arguing for a revision of what it means to be western/british citizen. The engagement led to those changes taking place.
