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

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.

And I'm hoping that here in Michigan, we can take that, take that pain and surface it into real solutions that we can actually turn into public policy and start making people's lives better. That to me is where the hope is.

Yeah, well, number one, it just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest, most powerful country in the world. And the people who have exploited that pain, they're just making it worse. So we need somebody who's going to do two things. Number one, you've got to step up and fight back. I got receipts on my role as a fighter and I don't back down. But it's not just about fighting back.

You've got to know what you're going to fight for. And the thing about me is I'm not afraid to tell you what I think the world ought to look like. to give you a vision for what my leadership would mean in hard public policy. I wrote the book on Medicare for all.
