11-2: Are We Back To Country Over Party? Dems Breaking Ranks Over El-Sayed · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I think the fact that you have a politician breaking
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ranks with her own party because she's horrified by the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: things that are happening within her own party, and that
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: in itself is making such news, I think that tells
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: us everything. I think it tells you how far down
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the road, how down the drain we've gotten with American politics.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I really do. And this whole Haley Stevens, Abdul El-Sayed
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: story in Michigan, believe it or not, ironically, I think
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: it's bigger than politics. I really do, even though You know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we're literally 24 hours out before the midterms. I really
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: do think this is more of a sociological issue. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: really do. I think this is society looking at itself.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And it's great news. Are we back to that? It
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: used to be a thing that happened all the time.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It really did. You would have certain members of a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: political party voting against their own or speaking out against it.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And it would be, you know, very little of that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: these days. Very little of it. Well, now you've got
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a Michigan representative. Congresswoman Haley Stevens speaking out. And by
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the way, it is a big deal. It matters that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: she's not Jewish. And it does matter that she's a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: female speaking out. We'll get to that in a second,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: why that's even relevant. But it's relevant to the story.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Speaking out against Abdul El-Said. He's the Senate nominee going
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: against Mike Rogers in this whole thing. And she's breaking ranks.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And then all the Democrats are mad with her. Excures
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the expression, but it takes a lot of balls. for
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: this chick to do this. It's a big deal, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: she's probably pretty done, and the knives came out immediately.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But the bigger question for you and me is, are
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we back to that? Are we back to actual so-called
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: leaders in this country having the guts to speak out
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: against something that they know is wrong? There are plenty
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of people, you've heard it, I mean, plenty of people
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in Democrats who have, you know, not exactly been on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: board with what is happening within their own party. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you've even heard Nancy Pelosi say, I don't know this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: man Running in Michigan. Yeah, you do, Nancy. Okay, sure.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But to come out and say you're going to endorse
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the opponent, it's a big deal. Are we back to that?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That would be the healthiest thing ever. Anyway, we'll get
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to it. Thanks for being with me. Appreciate you. Hope
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it was a great weekend. Wicked Radio live stream, 8 a.m. ish,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: about there. Eastern Time on X and YouTube and Facebook.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: If you miss anything, it's always on the replay on
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: those networks and the audio podcast always uploaded shortly thereafter.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. Her name is Haley Stevens.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: She's outspoken. She's kind of a, kind of a, I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to say kooky, but she's an interesting character.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You know, she's not afraid to speak her mind, obviously now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and now making her mark by speaking out against her
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: own party finally came to a decision. She was disinvited
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: by the Abdul El-Sayed campaign not to show up, so
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: she said, you know what, I'm going to endorse your opponent.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: That's it. So this all kicked off with a little
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in-car video where she was about to endorse Mike Rogers,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Republican guy running against El-Sayed, uh, In this car video,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: by the way, this matters. This, it's probably more than
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that now, but it was at 17 million views. 17
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: million views. There are television shows that don't get that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That's why this is bigger than Michigan. This is why
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I think this is a big, big, not even just
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: political story. I think it's a society story. It's societal.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What's going on here is we're looking at ourselves. This
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is what kicked it off.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: For U.S. Senate, Abdul said that I was no longer
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And he's right. And that's why I am endorsing Mike
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don't belong
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: in Abdul's campaign.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Now, it's one thing to do that. It's one thing
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to say you're going to. And you could do a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: car video and you make a big statement and, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you'll say you're going to endorse the opponent. That's big enough.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But she followed through. She showed up and I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it was she might have even done that video in
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the car ready to walk to this event right here.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to say that you're going to oppose
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: this particular guy in your own party. Another thing to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: show up with the guy that's running against you. This
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: is why I say it took a lot of balls.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: She did my vote for Senate.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I am just one vote, as is every Michigander. My
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: vote for Senate is going to be with Mike Rogers.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you why. Because we have to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: stand with country. We can't stand with hate. We can't
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: stand with Hassan Piker. A friend of mine was talking
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: about how education is on the ballot, and it's very true.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: What she's talking about there is interesting, and I love
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that she actually said this. It is about education, influencing
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: these young people and all these campus events. Now, she
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: mentioned Hassan Piker more on him and their character here
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in just a second. But immediately when this happened, now
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: there were rumblings, I guess, that this was going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: happen and she might flip. First of all, let's ask
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: this question. Does it matter? We always make fun of influencers.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Or celebrities who will actually make an endorsement. Does it matter?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Is this enough to change anybody's votes? I don't know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I really don't know. But she went on a lot
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of interviews and she said, look, I'm just one person.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Everyone is asking me this because I'm an elected representative.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So you're asking me this and I'm telling you I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: can't support this guy. Okay. She says, I'm just one
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: vote like everybody else in my state. Okay, fair enough.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But what she did have to face were the knives immediately.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The knives came out from traditional people. people in her party,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: from the new wave of people that want to go
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: so far off the left, they're over the cliff, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they're embracing, you know, Islam and communism, and that's what's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: turning into the party. You want to talk about a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: guy that is so twisted over this? James Carville. Now,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you know him from years back. It's about the economy, stupid!
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You know, the big Clinton advisor guy. He cannot stand
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: also what has happened to his own party. He's no
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: fan of El-Sayed, but he is even more upset that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: somebody would break ranks See, this is how far we've gotten,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that you can't actually stand up and be an honorable
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: person anymore. So listen to what this lizard creature has
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to say about her. All of a sudden, the knives
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: came out. But your political career is over.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: If you think that these Republicans are going to treat
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you as anything other than what they view you as,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and that is, let me just break the news to you,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a used condom.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So classy, wasn't it? This is the same guy that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: said he's criticized now for like two years what's happening
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to the Democrat Party. But somebody actually stands up to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it and actually is starting to reflect some of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: things he's been saying. Well, how dare you? They're going
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to treat you like that. You know, all this other stuff.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: All right, now back to this. Here's the big deal
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and why she couldn't actually stand this. This guy. Now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: we actually have to talk about the opponent she's talking
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: about here, this Al-Sayed. All kinds of accusations, which there's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of smoke leading to a lot of fire
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on this, supported by the Muslim Brotherhood. And the criticism
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: has always been, he's not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Okay,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he's got family members that are, and has campaigned with
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: people that are, and was a close friend with a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: professor that is, and George Soros has funded his campaign.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: All of the accusations that are clear as day right there.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But also, maybe this was the worst one. Campaigned, brought
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to college campuses, and campaigned with at events, this guy
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that Haley Stevens mentioned personally, Hasan Piker. a streamer. Now
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this is the, I always talk about the brilliance and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the greatness of digital media, and we have this free
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: information now. Well, like everything in life, it comes with
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a dark side. Here's the dark side. Here you have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: someone that literally said America deserved 9-11. This guy has
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: said that white supremacy is the fault of everything, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: blames white supremacy on everything in this country, of course.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You don't want to close the border, white supremacy. You
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: want to uphold the Constitution, white supremacy, all that other crap.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: This guy, this guy, brought to the campaign events. This
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is that influencing young minds part. Haley Stevens was talking
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: about Hassan Piker. Well, what does he have to say
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: about Haley Stevens breaking ranks? Here come the knives.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: There are plenty of others out there in the Democratic
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Party coalition who oppose our ideology, who oppose our worldviews,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: who oppose us, but at least they keep quiet with
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: the full knowledge.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That we are an important part of this coalition. Perhaps
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the most. At least they kept quiet. See, that's what
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they want. They want you to keep quiet. Just go
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: along with it. Shut up as we're taking over your
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: political party. And I will tell you this, and I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: will tell you straight out. I would hope that if
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you have enough, let's go to the other team for
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a second. Let's go to the red team. If you
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: have Republicans who are horrified by something, I would hope,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: whether you're right or not, you would stand up against it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Country over party is what this is all about. All right, well,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: let's go to this guy himself. Here's the most recent
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: media appearance on 60 Minutes. It's such a big race.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's bigger than Michigan. It really is, even though they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the ones who get to vote in it. The whole country,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: 17 million views in our car video. Remember that. The
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: whole country is looking at Michigan. This is the soul
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of the country and where this is going right now.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So 60 Minutes talked to Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: his opponent, and the Israel question always comes up. So
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: this should tell you everything you need to know. You
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: may not be a fan of Israel. You may not
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be a fan of all the money that's being sent
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: over there, for sure. Totally understandable. But can you be
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a fan of someone who can't answer that? I don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: ever get the question of, does Palestine have the right
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to exist? Does Palestine have the right to exist?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Does Israel have the right to exist? Yes, if there
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is a shared understanding. Wait, you said... Let me just understand.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I believe, and this is the problem with this debate.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Does Palestine have a right to exist?
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Does Israel have a right to exist? Well, yeah. Well, yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: If if let me qualify. Understand what.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: There you go. And there you go right there. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: if you don't think that trickles down to this country,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you're absolutely insane. Now, one of the reasons why one
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of the background I didn't even wasn't even aware of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: this because I don't live in Michigan either. One of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the things that knocked Haley Stevens off this track. you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: she couldn't support it, was this ad that the El-Sayed
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: campaign is trying to distance itself from. This ad of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a couple in a grocery store and they can't buy
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the eggs and she's making the point that they can't
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: afford eggs because of the money we send to Israel.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Just.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And they pulled the ad and it was just insane.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But you hear enough of that. And you hear the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: college campus things of Israel is bad and all the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: anti-Semitism that has popped up. And it has. But it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: has within that party. And you have this going on
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and you can't. And then they're shocked that somebody like
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Haley Stevens would actually have the guts to actually stand up.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: This is why I think it matters that she's not Jewish.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That she would stand up against this. As far as
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I know, she's not anyway. But it I think it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: matters that she's not someone that is traditionally linked with
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Israel accounts or pro-Israeli issues or pro-Jewish issues. It's just
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: somebody who couldn't take what was going on in her
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: own party. But here's the thing. She's not the only one. Granted,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: she's a politician and she's in that state, so it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: making big news, right? So here come the knives. So
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it's not only people who are the political operatives and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: they're attacking her and James Carville saying that nasty thing
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he said. Your political career is over. How dare you?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Even though she probably agrees with much of what he's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: been saying about what's happening in their party over on
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that side for the longest time. Well, then she has
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to go on the traditional propaganda outlets. Of course, one
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of the first interviews to defend her decision is on CNN.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper is just horrified. Listen to how he frames
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: this question now. He tries to make her look silly.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: by doing his absolute best to make it sound like
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: this was some sort of an overnight decision. He's trying
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to frame this by saying, yesterday you didn't commit, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, what did you do? You woke
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: up at midnight and you had a phone call and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you changed your mind? That's not how he frames it
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to try to disparage her. She wasn't having it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Then at some point, I assume in the evening, maybe
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: not midnight, you talked to Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, said you
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: were not going to do this. So if you and
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: he were on the same page when it came to
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: that ad, and you said that to the congresswoman at
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: some point last night, What changed other than he had
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: put out that statement and disinvited you from that church service?
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Was that the angrier and angrier part that you're focusing on?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: He's just twisting.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Anderson, this is a broader point about what's going on
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: in our party.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's actually not.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: It's really just a question of why you changed your mind.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: We were just recognizing, look, I haven't cast my vote yet.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: My neighbors were asking me.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: So you might change your mind again?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: They feel the same way.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: See how the framing works? So people listening to this,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you know, half-heartedly or that's on at the gym or something,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you're like, ah, that chick in Michigan. So she just
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: flipped one night and she had an emotional decision and,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was that time of the month
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and she did. That's how they frame it. That's what
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they do. That's what propaganda is. And since she's trying
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to bring it back to the point, this is bigger
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about this. This is a bigger issue that's going on.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: What does Anderson do? No, it's not. You made a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: rash emotional decision. See how that works? See what they
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: try to do? They turn right on her and they
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: try to say, this is about emotion and what happened?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: What happened? Meanwhile, for months now, she's leaning in that
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: direction as she's been asking questions and criticizing El-Sayed's campaign.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: But nope, they bring the knives out. It's, oh, you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: must be, maybe you're just having a rash decision. Well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: she's not the only one. Now, granted, Alan Dershowitz is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: not a politician. He's pretty much set monetarily and he
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: can say whatever he wants, but he's been horrified at
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: what's been going on within his own party for months now.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: This is what he said recently.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: The Democrats have embraced their bigots. You have Chuck Schumer.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: a man who was born without any testicles, has no guts,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: has no ability to stand up. And he endorses El-Said,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: who would like to see the end of Israel, probably
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: like to see the end of Jews.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Talk about self-hating.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Schumer describes himself, you know, the word Schumer in Hebrew, Shomer,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: means guardian. And he always described himself as the guardian
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: of Israel and the guardian of the Jews. With guardians
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: like that, we.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Don't need enemies. I don't need a Hebrew lesson from Dershowitz,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but you get the point, exactly what he's talking about there.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So he's not buying that either. Does this have some
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: sort of an effect? Does it mean that more politicians
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: are actually going to stand up and do the right thing?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't count on it, guys, because they're politicians by nature,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and most of them are absolute weasels. But some do.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Does it matter? Will it influence that many votes? I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if this, I don't even
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: know if endorsements matter anymore. We have so much information
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: we can gather on our own. I don't know. Information matters.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And this has led to this whole discussion about what
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: this El-Sayed guy is really all about. It's easy to find.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not too hard to find out what's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: funding and what has created him. It's not American ideals.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And he's campaigned with somebody that hates America. He doesn't
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: think our main ally in the Middle East should exist.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I think I'd be concerned about what he thinks about
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: those people in this country. We know who was funding him.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: We know all that. So you had one elected representative
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: in that state who stood up against him, and they're
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: trying to end her immediately. That on its own should
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: tell you exactly what's going on here. But it's been
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a big discussion. And again, I think this one goes
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: beyond politics. I think this is our society and our
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: culture looking at it going, you can't do this. No,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this is bad what's happening. Every once in a while
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: we face a test like this. And Michigan happens to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: be the focal point in this one. But this is
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a nationwide issue. And I don't agree with Nikki Haley
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: on much at all. But on this Meet the Depressed
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: interview on Sunday, she wrapped up a lot of this
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: The fact that you have Abdul El-Sayed feuding with Haley Stevens,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: how do.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: You see it?
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Because, boy, polls do show that he has a narrow lead.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: I am shocked that you have Chuck Schumer putting millions–
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: going and fighting for Al-Sayed, who this is a person
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: who rallied and stood beside someone who said that America
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: deserved 9-11. He's a socialist. He says he can't tell
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: which is more dangerous, Iran or Israel. That is amazing.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: If that's the direction the Democrat Party is going, then
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: God help us all. And I think that this election
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: is so much bigger than Michigan. This will really tell
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: you that should Democrats win, in Congress that this is
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: who you want to represent you. And so I think
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: this infighting in the Democrat party is more fascinating. You've
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: got here a pro-law. It is.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I would be concerned if no infighting happened. I really would.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Because then you have people just going along with it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in a bad direction. Things that we don't know Americans.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I don't care what your political party is. I don't
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: care if you're red or blue or purple or yellow.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Who the hell cares? But if you say things and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you campaign things and you embrace it as a party...
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: any party that America deserved nine 11, that socialism is
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the way to go. We got to open that border.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: We have no, no, this should not be a left, right.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Democrat Republican thing. These are things that are wrong and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: bad and proven bad for our country that you have
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: somebody standing up against it. One lone voice over there
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on that side. Uh, it's a good thing. Uh, I
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: don't know if it matters. I don't know. I guess
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: we'll find out tomorrow in real time as the midterms
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: are upon us. But the fact that we're we at
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: least have once again somebody choosing country over party, that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that's a positive thing. Are we back to that? Maybe not,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: because the fact that it's so shocking that you have
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a politician choosing country over party, which used to happen
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: all the time and now it's a shocking thing. That's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: probably not good, but maybe it starts a trend. Let's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: be positive. I don't know who the heck knows. We'll see.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Fascinating times, everybody. Thanks for hanging out with me. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: it's only Monday. Obviously, we're talking about midterms, but hopefully
• 17:56

• 17:58

• 18:00
