Besides the question of electability, besides the question of policy that you have laid out, what do you think is the stakes of this race? matched

Like, why should this matter to someone, even if you're not in Michigan? matched

Dr. El-Sayed, we appreciate your time. matched

Thank you so much for joining us. matched

Honored to be here, Asad. matched

Thank you so much. matched

And we'd like to see you in Michigan, huh? matched

Yeah. matched

And listen, we'll make our way out there. matched

Okay, so before my takeaways, a couple things. matched

You've just heard El-Sayed say that Stevens is getting $30 to $40 million from AIPAC specifically. matched

But we could not independently verify that number, and our research does not point to a number that high. matched

It is safe to say, though, that the number is in the tens of millions. matched

Also, we reached out to the Stevens campaign for comment, both for an interview and to talk about their campaign finances. matched

We didn't hear back. matched

But the more I think about it, the more that's becoming a bit of a trend. matched

Considering Stevens, Congressman Adriano Espaillat here in New York, and many of the suspected 2028 presidential contenders, it's hard to get a moderate Democrat to talk right now, particularly if you want to interrogate their vision and not just bash the left. matched

So shout out to El-Sayed, Hasan Piker, and even Third Way, for that matter. matched

Because no matter where you fall on the democratic civil war that's playing out right now, I think you should at least believe in it enough to say it out loud. matched

America Actually will be in your feeds every Saturday with an interesting interview in culture or politics. matched
