The MeidasTouch Podcast
Michigan Dem Senate Candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on Trump’s Attacks

What Trump did on immigration, if I may for a second, because my parents immigrated to this country, what he did was he made us think that it was somebody else who was causing us all this pain. And then he demagogued the whole idea of immigration itself to destroy people's lives. I don't think anybody wants their lives destroyed or the lives of their neighbors destroyed.

What they really want is to know that the economy works for people like them, not Musk and Trump. They really want to know that they can go see a doctor without taking on crippling medical debt. They really want to know that their kid goes to a school that's going to train them for the future that they hope will be better than the one that they had.

Yeah, I happen to be one of the speakers at that rally in Warren. I mean, when I tell you what 10,000 people in a high school looks like, it's kind of wild. But the reason that they came out to listen to Senator Sanders is because he's been talking about these issues for a very long time.

And anybody who knows anything about the senator is that he is unafraid to say what's wrong, to call it out clearly, and to propose real solutions. And you think about the kind of enthusiasm that that's generating. it should remind us that the bar is not really so high, even though I think a lot of politicians get themselves wound around the axle.

And the reason why is because we're told that the way to win an election in a place like Michigan is to triangulate to the least common denominator position on an issue, and then make sure it's fundamentally inoffensive to anybody. But that then means... That if you're thinking about the corporation whose pack check you want, you end up saying nothing at all.

And so what Bernie is showing us is that if you are actually willing to surface the conversations people are having with their loved ones across the dinner table or the anxieties that they have when they look their kids in the eye and speak directly to those, that folks want to come out for that. So I'm so grateful for his endorsement, for what he's been doing in our politics.
