Jesse Watters Presses Abdul El-Sayed on Trans Athletes — The Senate Candidate Pushes Back Jesse Watters: Do you support sex changes for minors? Abdul El-Sayed: I remember having great conversations with my conservative friends about right-to-try legislation and the idea that the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have. I just think the government shouldn’t make those decisions for you. Jesse Watters: So, Abdul, you’re a doctor, right? Abdul El-Sayed: I am. Jesse Watters: So you think it’s okay for a parent to cut off their child’s genitals? Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised? Abdul El-Sayed: Yeah, but that’s a personal question. You probably should want to move on. Is circumcision different from castration? Jesse Watters: I think it’s a problem that you believe the government shouldn’t get to decide what happens between a parent, a doctor, and a patient. Circumcision is surgery on a child, too. I think you’re being selective about how you talk about these things. Boys playing in girls’ sports. Michigan isn’t going for that. That is sick stuff. Abdul El-Sayed: I’m not advocating anything. I’m just saying, Jesse, you haven’t asked me once about the issues people actually care about in Michigan. You don’t want to talk about gas prices, groceries, healthcare, or this trade war that’s about to destroy Michigan jobs. Jesse Watters: We spent the whole interview talking about those things. You don’t seem to want to talk about any of them. You want to bring up all this culture-war stuff. I’m not here to fight a culture war. I’m here to fight for healthcare. Abdul El-Sayed: We talked about the war, gas prices, and the Green New Deal. You told me we were going to have a conversation, but now you’re doing the greatest hits. You can keep doing that if you want, but I just want to understand what you’re getting at. Jesse Watters: I’m getting at whether you think men should play in women’s sports as the next U.S. senator from Michigan. Abdul El-Sayed: I’m interested in getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, and passing Medicare for All. Jesse Watters: You’re filibustering, Abdul, because you don’t care about what sports kids play. It’s a big issue, and I want to talk about the issues your viewers deserve to hear about. Should men play women’s sports? You have daughters, right? Abdul El-Sayed: I played sports my whole life. Sports were an important part of my life, and I’m grateful for the opportunity. At the end of the day, the decision about who gets to play which sports ought to be made by the people who govern sports. I’m running for the U.S. Senate, Jesse. I’m trying to take on the healthcare crisis and Big Pharma, and you’re asking me who gets to play which sports? It’s silly. People can’t seriously say this is the most important issue. Jesse Watters: It’s kind of a big thing.

Mara Gay (who went to college with El-Sayed) on Morning Joe: One thing you learn when you're not a white American is that it sometimes doesn't matter what you want to talk about. The more the Republicans try to make it about Islamophobia, the angrier voters appear to be getting because they want to talk about health care. They want to talk about why they can't afford their lives. He decided to run because he cares about Michiganders. I know that. He can be very stubborn. He also cares about people.

Jesse Watters OPPOSES Wind Turbines in Lake Michigan — Abdul El-Sayed Fires Back With a Warning About the Great Lakes Oil Pipeline Jesse Watters: Do you drive an electric car? Abdul El-Sayed: I drive a plug-in hybrid made right here in the United States. But the bigger question is why the president escalated a trade war with Canada that’s about to make our cars so much more expensive. Jesse Watters: You want to get rid of the internal combustion engine? That’s what the Green New Deal is about. Abdul El-Sayed: I’m asking whether you’re opposed to reducing energy costs and creating jobs in Michigan. Jesse Watters: Absolutely not. But I don’t want windmills in Lake Michigan. Abdul El-Sayed: We already have an oil pipeline in the Great Lakes. If that pipeline bursts, the consequences would be disastrous. You’re telling me you’d rather risk that than have wind turbines? Jesse Watters: I’m saying I don’t want to get rid of fossil fuels, and that’s what the Green New Deal does. Abdul El-Sayed: Let’s move on.

Ask yourself why he doesn’t want to talk about any of the issues that Michiganders, that Americans are worried about, why he wants to be talking about Sharia Law. He wants to do that because he is desperate to change the subject”

Jesse Watters CHALLENGES Abdul El-Sayed on ICE — Then Their Debate Explodes Over Wind Turbines in Lake Michigan Jesse Watters: You want to abolish ICE. Who’s going to deport criminal aliens? Abdul El-Sayed: Before ICE, we had INS. We enforced immigration laws without shooting people in the face and the back of the head. Jesse Watters: That’s a dodge. Do you know how many illegal immigrants are in the country now? Abdul El-Sayed: We had far fewer when we had INS. It worked better. Jesse Watters: We have twice as many now. You need the manpower. Abdul El-Sayed: We have ICE now and far more undocumented people, so clearly it isn’t working. Jesse Watters: What about the man from Southeast Asia who molested a child? ICE just picked him up. You want him to stay in Michigan? Abdul El-Sayed: I’m glad he was picked up. But that doesn’t prove INS couldn’t have done the same thing. You’re playing a bureaucratic game. Jesse Watters: That’s because Biden didn’t blow open the border back then. Abdul El-Sayed: When I travel across Michigan, people ask how they’ll afford gas and groceries. They’re not asking me about immigration. Jesse Watters: Let’s talk about the Green New Deal. Do you drive an electric car? Abdul El-Sayed: I drive an American-made plug-in hybrid. But the bigger issue is the trade war with Canada, which could make cars more expensive. Jesse Watters: You want to get rid of gas-powered cars. That’s what the Green New Deal says. Abdul El-Sayed: I’m not defending the Green New Deal. I’m asking if you oppose reducing energy costs and creating jobs in Michigan. Jesse Watters: I don’t want windmills in Lake Michigan.

Jesse Watters Presses Abdul El-Sayed on His $4 Trillion Healthcare Plan — The Debate Gets Heated Jesse Watters: You want socialized healthcare. Abdul, how much is that going to cost? Abdul El-Sayed: It’s going to cost the average Michigander a whole lot less than they pay right now. But let me remind you, the guy who voted to raise prescription drug prices 19 times, 19 times, is now asking about healthcare costs. I’m saying I want to bring your costs down. The price of this program would be substantially less for everyday people who can’t afford healthcare and are worried about losing their coverage when they lose their jobs. Jesse Watters: Give me the total number. Abdul El-Sayed: While you’re talking about the broader national budget, I’m more interested in the everyday budgets Michiganders are dealing with. That’s exactly the budget Donald Trump and Mike Rogers are blowing up right now. I don’t understand why you’re on the side of billionaires, Jesse, rather than everyday Michiganders. Jesse Watters: No, because I don’t want you guys to blow the country up. Do you know how much the federal budget is right now? Abdul El-Sayed: Neither do I. But if you want to talk about budgets, let’s talk about them. Someone who used to work on your channel, one of the hosts on The Five, wanted to raise the military budget to $1.5 trillion, and you don’t seem upset about that. What, so we can fight a war we don’t know how to get out of, while gas prices rise to $5 a gallon? That doesn’t make sense to me, Jesse. I want to talk about the things that actually matter to people. To me, that’s healthcare and childcare. Jesse Watters: I have a feeling you don’t even know how much money the government spends every year. Do you? Abdul El-Sayed: The question, Jesse, is that I know what Michiganders are dealing with. Jesse Watters: All right, so you don’t know. Let me tell you what it is: $7 trillion a year. And your plan to take over the healthcare system costs $4 trillion. Here’s the problem with that. To your point, I’m not very good at math, and I don’t think you’re very good at math either. Abdul El-Sayed: Clearly, you don’t seem to care about the numbers either. I don’t think most Americans want to spend that much money on military escapades while the people stranded on the USS Abraham Lincoln can’t even get a sausage for breakfast. I think we could do a lot better with our money, Jesse. That’s where you and I disagree. Jesse Watters: Mike Rogers disagrees with you. I think if you spend $4 trillion, everything else is going to get really expensive. You’ll look back at Bidenflation and wish you were back there. But you brought up foreign policy— Abdul El-Sayed: We can talk about inflation. Everywhere I go in Michigan, people tell me they’ve never had to worry so much about life being unaffordable. I get it. Donald Trump likes to blame everything on his predecessor. But let’s be clear: this is Donald Trump’s economy, and he’s about to make things much worse because he’s engaged in a vanity war with the prime minister of Canada. I’m from Michigan, and you’re from New York, so you know Canadians. They’re the only people I know who apologize before they’ve even done anything! Now they’re raising tariffs to 50 percent. What’s that going to do to inflation? Jesse Watters: Yeah, what is spending $4 trillion going to do? I think it’s going to make things a lot worse. But you brought up the war. Are you glad the Ayatollah is dead?
