"Our Priorities Are SO A** Backwards" — Meet Abdul, A New Kind Of Democrat Running For U.S. Senate

I sat down with Abdul El-Sayed, the unapologetic powerhouse running for U.S. Senate in Michigan. I think you'll be surprised to see he's outspoken populist with a refreshingly honest approach to politics. He just gets it.

If you haven't heard of him yet, I think that's because the media is afraid to give him the attention he deserves. Abdul is a little bit too good at speaking truth to power for the establishment's taste. He's not afraid to call out the elites, corporations, the Democratic leadership, or the Trump administration. Maybe his training as a physician is what makes him able to quickly identify the fractures of our broken system. His clear-headed diagnoses of the problems we face makes him a threat to the status quo.

But, Abdul's campaign isn't just reminding people what's wrong in America, he's giving people something to vote for, a future to believe in. A healthcare system that prioritizes care and healing over profit, an economy that values workers over shareholders, and foreign policy that reflects the American people's values -- not Netanyahu's.

I'm happy to bring to you the interview the mainstream media won't, here's my conversation with Abdul Al Sayed.
