00:00:00.000 I am Jesse, and I had sex with Lindsey Graham. 0.94
00:00:03.000 I told multiple people about the encounter when it happened. 0.55
00:00:06.000 You know, that's the thing about the times that I saw him, is that I told friends of mine, I wouldn't say that they were surprised.
00:00:12.000 It's not exactly like it's a secret that he was a homosexual. 0.95
00:00:16.000 Okay, so that is a male hooker now alleging after Senator Lindsey Graham has been dead for months after being in the Senate for 23 years that Lindsey Graham had sex with him when he was a teenager. 0.97
00:00:27.000 This was touted as a big election breaking scoop by big name members of the Democratic media elite. 0.96
00:00:31.000 Why?
00:00:32.000 Why is this important? 0.93
00:00:33.000 Well, because Lindsey Graham's sister is running for the Senate in South Carolina.
00:00:37.000 So here's the deal. 0.92
00:00:39.000 Slander a dead guy on the say so of male prostitutes in order to attack his sister running for a Senate seat. 0.98
00:00:46.000 That is perfectly fine. 0.96
00:00:48.000 All these people are saying nothing or they're laughing or they're cheering. 0.99
00:00:51.000 These are all the same people who are supposedly aghast at Vivek Ramaswamy's bad and stupid ad using Amy Acton's mom. 0.99
00:00:57.000 Now, I don't believe your outrage. 1.00
00:00:59.000 I don't believe it for a second.
00:01:00.000 I think you're lying.
00:01:01.000 I think you're lying for political purposes about your outrage. 1.00
00:01:04.000 You're the biggest hypocrites on the planet. 1.00
00:01:06.000 You're ridiculous. 1.00
00:01:16.000 Okay, so Senator Lindsey Graham dropped dead at the age of 70 in July. 1.00
00:01:19.000 You recall, it hasn't been that long.
00:01:21.000 His body is cold, it's in the ground.
00:01:23.000 It's been in the ground for a few months.
00:01:25.000 And his sister, Darlene, is running to replace him in the Senate. 0.83
00:01:29.000 So, yesterday, Democrats, people at the Young Turks, a bunch of Democratic activists decided it was time to attack his sister by trotting out a bunch of male hookers to say bad things about his corpse.
00:01:41.000 That's what our moral betters are doing today.
00:01:44.000 Harry Sisson.
00:01:46.000 He of the bizarre dancing and Joe Biden love Democratic activist.
00:01:51.000 He put out a tweet saying, quote, as a preview of how serious this is, one of the men claims they were underage and the senator filmed them.
00:01:58.000 I have been given exclusive information about a closeted Republican senator who used male escorts and covered it up.
00:02:03.000 I will be dropping a video about it this morning.
00:02:05.000 Stay tuned.
00:02:06.000 This is certainly an October surprise.
00:02:09.000 This would be the same Harry Sisson who attacked JD Vance.
00:02:13.000 Quote, JD Vance is endorsing the Vivek Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton's mother.
00:02:17.000 Absolutely horrifying.
00:02:19.000 Okay, I don't believe your outrage.
00:02:21.000 I don't believe your outrage.
00:02:23.000 I don't.
00:02:24.000 Because the thing that you are touting is an attack on a dead man who can't defend himself based on the say so of male prostitutes in order to attack his sister in a Senate race. 0.99
00:02:34.000 I think, in short, that you're all foolish about how outraged you are. 0.97
00:02:39.000 I don't think you're outraged. 0.98
00:02:40.000 I think you're militarizing your supposed outrage for political purposes.
00:02:43.000 Now, again, you don't have to like Vivek Ramaswamy's ad against Amy Acton. 0.99
00:02:46.000 I think it's dumb. 0.98
00:02:46.000 I think it's immoral because of the background of the thing. 0.98
00:02:46.000 I don't. 0.98
00:02:50.000 But I also think that politics is a really ugly business.
00:02:54.000 That if we are going to pretend that dirt in politics and dirty in politics is something new, and then the pearl clutching, the militarization of the outrage, that's going to be the campaign.
00:03:04.000 That's absurd because the same exact people who are deeply outraged, supposedly, about the ad against Amy Acton are perfectly fine, silent, laughing, chuckling, or cheering against an attack on a dead guy based on the say so of male hookers without any extraneous evidence in order to attack, not even the dead guy, in order to attack his sister.
00:03:29.000 Okay, that's what we're doing now. 1.00
00:03:31.000 So, when you say that you're all outraged about the dirtiness of politics, about the ugliness of politics, you're so full of crap. 1.00
00:03:37.000 You are so full of crap, it's coming out your eyeballs. 1.00
00:03:41.000 So, the story supposedly was that Lindsey Graham has been now alleged by three sex workers in a documentary that he paid them for sex. 1.00
00:03:51.000 The closetocracy released by the Young Turks and Swamp Watch Studios presents the accounts alongside Graham's legislative record. 0.83
00:03:57.000 This is The Advocate, a gay magazine.
00:04:01.000 Participants accused him of privately seeking sexual encounters with people whose rights he opposed in public office.
00:04:06.000 And again, what is the purpose of this?
00:04:08.000 Why are they dropping it now?
00:04:10.000 The reason they're dropping it now is, of course, because Darlene Graham Norton is running for Senate in South Carolina, and that's a kind of surprisingly close race.
00:04:17.000 And they're pretty much admitting it.
00:04:19.000 Here is the YouTube video put out by the Young Turks going after Darlene.
00:04:19.000 Right?
00:04:24.000 Again, remember, the same people who are decrying the immorality of Vic Ramaswamy.
00:04:29.000 Again, you want to decry that immorality?
00:04:30.000 That's totally fine, as long as you are consistent across the board. 0.95
00:04:33.000 But I'm not going to listen to it from the same people who are attacking Darlene Graham Norton for her brother supposedly using male prostitutes. 0.78
00:04:43.000 All of which, again, is based on the testimony of perhaps the least reliable group of people in existence male prostitutes.
00:04:50.000 Here is the Young Turks documentary.
00:04:53.000 Darlene, can I ask you a quick question?
00:04:55.000 Some allegations have come out about your late brother using gay escorts.
00:04:59.000 Have you heard about that?
00:05:00.000 I'm not even going to entertain that question.
00:05:06.000 Lindsay Graham has said.
00:05:07.000 His last words to me were, I needed that.
00:05:10.000 People in power really like to be humiliated in that sort of way because I think they feel an immense guilt about what they do.
00:05:19.000 And I think that's their way of releasing some of that shame and the guilt that they know what they're doing is bad.
00:05:24.000 And I think that Lindsey Graham used a lot of escorts to kind of work through that guilt and the shame.
00:05:29.000 I don't think there's any way that Darling Graham doesn't know about any of this.
00:05:34.000 Again, the whole thing is an attack on Darling Graham, who, even if you believe all the stuff about Lindsey Graham, was unrelated to any of this.
00:05:43.000 What does Darlene Graham have to do with any of this?
00:05:44.000 The whole thing is a collateral attack on Darlene Graham Norton. 0.96
00:05:47.000 That's what this is.
00:05:49.000 So, listening to lectures from those same people is pretty vile, honestly.
00:05:54.000 Also, we should point out that if you're going to count on the allegations of male prostitutes or people with dicey histories to talk about the dead guy, again, he was alive for a long time.
00:06:05.000 He was in the Senate for 23 years.
00:06:07.000 Anytime there could have been a fully substantiated, evidenced story about all of this, and yet none of that ever broke.
00:06:12.000 It was just a bunch of rumors and the supposed.
00:06:16.000 Testimony and statements of male prostitutes. 0.87
00:06:20.000 There was literally a guy who goes around saying that he had sex with Barack Obama in a bathhouse, and everybody ignores that guy because they believe that he is unreliable.
00:06:27.000 So if we're just going to do this routine now, then what's good for the goose is good for the gander. 0.97
00:06:32.000 Chank Uyghur, who brought this atrocity out, Chank Uyghur, he is out there suggesting that the Jews made Lindsey Graham gay. 0.79
00:06:42.000 Shocker, because this is Chank's bizarre bugaboo these days.
00:06:45.000 Quote Foreign governments or anyone else interested in decisions that our government makes could easily use this information, let alone tapes.
00:06:51.000 To influence or control our politicians.
00:06:53.000 Graham was one of the most influential senators, also the most in favor of wars that helped others.
00:06:57.000 I wonder who he's talking about. 0.70
00:06:59.000 Anna Kasparian, who sees a Jew behind every door under her bed. 0.98
00:07:04.000 She says, Oh, the free press, shocking. 0.99
00:07:06.000 I think there's a good chance he was ashamed of his sexuality and kinks and was highly blackmailable. 1.00
00:07:10.000 That probably explains why he was the ultimate butt boy for Israel. 0.99
00:07:13.000 And you can use anti gay slurs so long as you're a leftist. 0.99
00:07:15.000 That's the way this works. 0.79
00:07:18.000 He also allegedly slept with a minor, says Anna Kasparian, who has lost her ever loving mind. 0.83
00:07:21.000 But I know how little that seems to bother Zionists.
00:07:25.000 Yes, yes, the, you know, religious Jews famously in favor of LGBTQ activities.
00:07:34.000 Now, again, I've said over the past several days that I don't like Vivek Ramaswamy's ad against Amy Acton. 0.92
00:07:40.000 I think it was politically foolish. 0.66
00:07:41.000 I think it was dicey. 0.99
00:07:42.000 I think it was bad.
00:07:43.000 And given the context of Amy Acton and her mom in the childhood, it was wrong.
00:07:48.000 I have also said politics is a very dirty business and that the people going after Ramaswamy as somehow unprecedentedly wicked are lying to you about their outrage.
00:07:58.000 They are.
00:07:59.000 Okay.
00:07:59.000 They are lying to you about how outraged they are.
00:08:02.000 You can check the Twitter feeds of these people.
00:08:05.000 Not one of them condemned the hit on Darlene Graham Norton.
00:08:08.000 Not one.
00:08:08.000 You can't find one.
00:08:10.000 They all chuckled or made light of it or said, Oh, we already knew all of that.
00:08:14.000 Nothing.
00:08:14.000 Not a word of condemnation.
00:08:16.000 By the way, forget the attack on the dead man himself. 1.00
00:08:19.000 Lindsey Graham, again, was in the Senate for over two decades.
00:08:22.000 His detractors on both the left and the right spent decades implying or saying openly that he was a closeted gay man, mocking him as quote unquote Lady Graham.
00:08:31.000 Without proper evidence, just based on quote unquote the rumors. 0.50
00:08:34.000 Some of them tried to bring out male escorts saying they'd had sex with him without any evidence.
00:08:38.000 Listen, if they had evidence, show it.
00:08:40.000 You want a rumor monger about a guy whose body is moldering in the ground?
00:08:44.000 Kind of gross.
00:08:45.000 Well, now Lindsey Graham is dead and they're still doing the same thing.
00:08:49.000 They're doing the same thing after he's dead, but with more press coverage.
00:08:52.000 Again, to attack his sister.
00:08:52.000 Why?
00:08:56.000 His sister. 1.00
00:08:57.000 So when I say politics is gross and dirty, it's because it's gross and dirty and you all know it and you don't care, but you pretend to care when it affects, quote unquote, your side because you're liars and you're hypocrites. 1.00
00:09:08.000 Because you know deep down this is all politics and it always was. 0.99
00:09:12.000 I just don't believe you when you stand there and you wax philosophic about the necessity of virtue in politics.
00:09:16.000 You're lying.
00:09:17.000 You're lying.
00:09:18.000 It's all based on the jersey as to whether you're offended.
00:09:24.000 President Trump yesterday said about the Amy Acton ad that if the ad were about his mother, the entire left would love it.
00:09:31.000 And I know one thing if my mother said bad about me, it would be a major news story.
00:09:36.000 That's for sure.
00:09:39.000 Okay, here's the thing.
00:09:40.000 You don't have to like the Ramaswamy ad.
00:09:41.000 I don't to understand that what Trump is saying is true. 1.00
00:09:45.000 I think the ad was immoral and stupid and ill advised and all the things. 0.98
00:09:48.000 But I'm not going to take moral lessons from rape apologists and terror apologists like Hassan Piker or the same people who cheered ads or funded ads calling Mitt Romney a murderer or from all the talking heads who are going silent or laughing or chuckling or cheering the attack on Darlene Graham Norton on the basis of The idea that male escorts are now testifying about her dead brother. 1.00
00:10:12.000 You're all hacks. 0.92
00:10:13.000 We can all see that you're all hacks.
00:10:17.000 This sort of, my robe is too clean for this sort of politics.
00:10:21.000 I don't believe you.
00:10:23.000 I don't believe you.
00:10:24.000 I don't.
00:10:25.000 Maybe that means I'm cynical about American politics, but that's because American politics is a pretty cynical place.
00:10:31.000 Get to more on this in a moment.
00:10:32.000 First, you can use certain existing IRA or 401k assets to add eligible physical precious metals through a properly executed rollover without current taxes or early withdrawal penalties.
00:10:42.000 So what am I talking about here?
00:10:43.000 I'm saying that when you look at your portfolio, you probably don't have enough precious metals in it.
00:10:47.000 And there are ways to adjust for that given the fact of inflation, given the fact that government's going to continue spending, given the fact that central banks everywhere are putting an enormous amount of their money into precious metals.
00:10:58.000 We're talking about a portion here for you.

00:11:37.000 Now, speaking of the midterm elections, the polling data continues to be proved utter garbage in many different ways.
00:11:37.000 All right.
00:11:45.000 It turns out That it is not just Wedgwood.
00:11:48.000 We talked about this the other day.
00:11:49.000 Wedgwood was a fake polling outfit, it was putting out numbers that were reliably pro Democrat.
00:11:55.000 And then it turns out that they were basically just making it up.
00:11:57.000 It was too late.
00:11:57.000 It was already included in all of the poll averages, skewing those poll averages in favor of Democrats.
00:12:04.000 Nate Silver, who is sort of a poll analyst extraordinaire, here he was talking about Wedgwood, saying he hopes they're put in jail, which of course they should be for fraud.
00:12:13.000 On Tuesday, a firm called Wedgwood Polls.
00:12:17.000 Makes me think of Wedgwood, China, put out a statement admitting to fabricating polling as a quote, experimental project and quote, a wake up call that quote, sparks a necessary conversation about data integrity, media literacy, and accountability across the political research landscape.
00:12:33.000 What say we to this?
00:12:34.000 I said yourselves.
00:12:35.000 I hope you're put in jail.
00:12:38.000 Okay, he is right about that.
00:12:40.000 But it turns out, it turns out that this is not the only polling outfit that is into the funny business.
00:12:46.000 According to To 50 Plus One.
00:12:49.000 On Tuesday, October 20th, 50 Plus One conducted an interview with a person affiliated with another polling outfit called SoCal Strategies.
00:12:55.000 Since that interview, 50 plus one has been waiting for a statement and additional information that the person indicated they would send this week.
00:13:02.000 However, as of this morning, according to the Washington Post, the website for SoCal Strategies and a previously active Twitter X account, SoCal Strategies, have now been taken offline.
00:13:10.000 Ooh, that's not good.
00:13:13.000 The Substack page where SoCal Strategies posted poll results has also gone dark.
00:13:18.000 Well, the late breaking polls from SoCal Strategies, you will be shocked to learn, are all extremely pro Democrat.
00:13:24.000 So, June, July, they had Paxton up two in Texas.
00:13:27.000 By September, They had a Tallarico plus five poll, and by October, a Tallarico plus five poll.
00:13:32.000 In July, they had El Syed up 17. 17 points.
00:13:38.000 So, garbage in, garbage out.
00:13:40.000 It turns out that right now we have a replication crisis in pretty much every area of data.
00:13:45.000 This is true for scientific studies, it is also true for polling.
00:13:50.000 And of course, it turns out that you can actually make money off of this kind of stuff.
00:13:55.000 Like, let's say that you're one of these polling outfits, and you decide you're going to skew your poll, and it's going to get put in the poll average.
00:14:01.000 And that's going to have an impact on, say, prediction markets.
00:14:04.000 You can make money that way.
00:14:05.000 It turns out fraud is always, always a reliable way to make money. 0.61
00:14:10.000 But the fact is this every one of the major races is now a margin of error race.
00:14:16.000 Doesn't mean that every race there will end up being closed.
00:14:18.000 Again, the margin of error is just a margin of error.
00:14:21.000 If you have a 45 45 race, that could easily be a 49 41 race if it's got a four point margin of error.
00:14:28.000 With that said, these are close races.
00:14:30.000 And anybody who is telling you differently based on the so called polling data is wrong.
00:14:34.000 And it's interesting to see.
00:14:36.000 How even some members of the media are starting to buy back their former confidence about the supposed blue wave in the Senate.
00:14:41.000 Now, again, there could be a blue wave in the Senate, but there's not evidence enough to show that there certainly will be.
00:14:45.000 Katie Turr over at MS Now traveled down to Texas and she said, I don't know, man.
00:14:49.000 I'm not sure that James Tellerico is going to pull this one out.
00:14:53.000 I'm a little more skeptical of the polling in Texas having been there because I did just get a lot of, I'm going to vote for the team, which was the message from Angie Nixon, which it means you have a terrible candidate.
00:15:05.000 But the polling or the Republican impulse.
00:15:10.000 It's just so deeply ingrained in Texas.
00:15:13.000 And it feels like it's hard to break.
00:15:18.000 I mean, that is probably right.
00:15:20.000 When you go down to Texas, it turns out still a lot of Republicans there.
00:15:23.000 But according to our friends and sponsors at CalShee, 65% of people in the CalShee market still think Tellerico is going to win.
00:15:30.000 Again, I think that this is at best a 50 50 race.
00:15:34.000 This is a coin flip race at best for Democrats.
00:15:37.000 The same thing, in my opinion, is true over in Maine.
00:15:40.000 The same thing is true over in Michigan.
00:15:41.000 We'll get to those races in just a second.
00:15:43.000 By the way, if you want, The best up to date data that is available.
00:15:47.000 You should head over to our election hub at dailywire.com.

00:16:11.000 Well, CNN is still trying to prop up the narrative.
00:16:14.000 Their narrative is the young men are abandoning the Trump party in droves.
00:16:18.000 They're abandoning the Republicans in droves.
00:16:20.000 Okay.
00:16:22.000 The reality again is that young men are not going to decide this election cycle.
00:16:27.000 The turnout among young men is not large enough.
00:16:29.000 We talked about this earlier this week, analytically and statistically.
00:16:32.000 There are much larger groups of voters that are going to decide this election.
00:16:36.000 When both parties try to program to the young men or to the young women, they don't have turnout rates that are consonant with that.
00:16:43.000 It's amazing to watch both parties.
00:16:44.000 Forget every piece of political wisdom that they have had for legitimately a century.
00:16:49.000 The political wisdom for a century was to run to the right or to the left in a primary to defeat your quote unquote more moderate opponents, and then run to the center during a general in order to win the general.
00:17:01.000 And both parties are so captured by the online narrative that they don't even know what to do.
00:17:06.000 Again, if you're a Republican and you're shooting for the young male vote, are you going to follow in the footsteps of the young males that CNN was talking to? 1.00
00:17:12.000 Because they're really dumb. 1.00
00:17:14.000 Many of these people are incredibly stupid. 1.00
00:17:18.000 So, for example, Once a self described hard right conservative who voted for Donald Trump in 2024, Michigan State senior Zach Larson now considers the president a tyrant and says he's likely to cast a ballot for Democrat Abdul El Sayed. 1.00
00:17:33.000 Are you going to follow that guy?
00:17:34.000 Like, based on what?
00:17:36.000 And nearby Lansing Community College, according to CNN, 19 year old Andrew Jubic said his parents have encouraged him to follow his passions, botany and biology, but that increasingly feels financially risky.
00:17:46.000 If we do what we want, he said, how are we going to be able to afford to live?
00:17:49.000 Well, I mean, if your parents convinced you that botany was going to be like your path to riches, I don't know what to tell you, my dude.
00:17:57.000 For Joseph Burke, a 21 year old senior studying data science and biochemistry, Plan B is a dramatic career pivot, the priesthood.
00:18:03.000 He said he's looking for something that has secure options.
00:18:05.000 Well, I mean, I guess that's a somewhat secure option. 0.99
00:18:09.000 But again, if you are starting to follow all of these young people down the primrose path, good luck to you. 0.99
00:18:15.000 Good luck to you. 0.81
00:18:16.000 You've seen this in the Democratic Party as well.
00:18:17.000 Now, the thing to remember about the Michigan Senate race we'll go through a couple of these races because it's kind of important.
00:18:23.000 The thing about the Michigan Senate race right now is that that Michigan Senate race ought to be a runaway for the Democrats.
00:18:29.000 This is an off year election after a Republican won high office.
00:18:34.000 The senator who's being replaced is a Democrat.
00:18:37.000 Mike Rogers has run before and lost before.
00:18:39.000 And that election is at best a toss up.
00:18:41.000 The reason it is a toss up is because people in Michigan recognize that Abdul El Sayed is a radical.
00:18:47.000 Democrats decided to nominate a radical because they were high on their own supply.
00:18:50.000 And by the way, because they felt for a polling up.
00:18:53.000 Remember, all of the prediction markets said that El Sayed was going to wipe the floor with Haley Stevens in that Democratic Senate primary in Michigan.
00:19:00.000 He ended up winning by about three votes.
00:19:02.000 Largely because of the demoralization effort directed at Haley Stevens' voting base.
00:19:06.000 So, when I see dead even polling in Michigan, the polling error tends to be off in favor of Democrats. 0.85
00:19:16.000 So, again, I am not online with the idea that El Sayed is going to run away with that race by any stretch of the imagination because he is just too radical. 0.71
00:19:24.000 Yesterday, Linda Sarsour, who herself is an Islamist radical, she says that the radical Islamists are building a movement in the United States based on Zorhan Mamdani and Abdul El Sayed.
00:19:36.000 This is what she's not lying.
00:19:37.000 This is true.
00:19:40.000 We are proving that Zahran is not a one hit wonder and that Zahran is just part of a larger movement of power building that we have been doing on the electoral side.
00:19:48.000 Dr. Abdullah Sayyid, who's running as the hopefully the first Muslim American to go to the United States Senate on a platform of abolish ICE as a United States senator on Medicare for all and on stopping military aid to Israel.
00:20:02.000 And guess what?
00:20:03.000 My guy is polling high in those polls, right?
00:20:06.000 And so, again, I am.
00:20:09.000 Not surprised by all of this.
00:20:10.000 Same people knocking doors are the same people that when there's a protest for Palestine on Saturday, they're also there. 0.56
00:20:15.000 So they protest and they knock doors. 0.80
00:20:18.000 Okay, she is right about that. 0.88
00:20:20.000 This is why many Michiganders are like, I'm not sure I'm into that. 1.00
00:20:24.000 By the way, El Sayed keeps doing this routine. 1.00
00:20:25.000 It's fascinating.
00:20:27.000 El Sayed's perception of what it means to be a Muslim is kind of interesting. 0.99
00:20:31.000 So, according to El Sayed, he's not like the other Muslims you know, you know, like the obnoxious people who are running the gas stations and trying to defend their businesses. 1.00
00:20:37.000 He's not like those. 1.00
00:20:39.000 We know. 1.00
00:20:40.000 Those are actually like, you know, Muslims who just want to go to mosque and then run a business. 0.98
00:20:43.000 He's not like those. 0.99
00:20:45.000 He is a politically active radical, obviously, but he's going to disown the other Muslims. 1.00
00:20:49.000 It's amazing. 1.00
00:20:50.000 Honestly, he also said, by the way, that Mike Rogers attacked him for being a Muslim the other night.
00:20:56.000 Just going to point out that that's saying the quiet part out loud.
00:20:59.000 Mike Rogers attacked him for his associations with the Muslim Brotherhood and his pro terrorism perspectives, and he says that that's an attack on Islam.
00:21:05.000 Dude, you're saying the quiet part out loud.
00:21:08.000 Here is Abdullah Sayyid dissociating from the other Muslims. 0.99
00:21:13.000 Shopkeeper, Arab guy, big fig beer. 1.00
00:21:16.000 He's like, hey, you Muslim?
00:21:17.000 I was like, you know I'm Muslim, bro.
00:21:20.000 He was like, How come your beard's so short?
00:21:23.000 I was like, Oh, okay, one second.
00:21:24.000 So I go back, not supposed to be selling alcohol in the shop at all.
00:21:28.000 Legal, illegal.
00:21:29.000 Nobody's enforcing.
00:21:30.000 I was like, I forgot this.
00:21:32.000 And he's like, You're not allowed to buy that.
00:21:32.000 Fifth of vodka.
00:21:34.000 I was like, Habib, you're not allowed to sell it.
00:21:38.000 So how could you sell this that you wouldn't sell to someone who shares the same ethnicity and faith as you?
00:21:45.000 Why do you sell it here?
00:21:47.000 And the thing about it is, you asked me early about what it means.
00:21:52.000 What my Islam means to me, right?
00:21:54.000 It's accountability.
00:21:56.000 And, right?
00:21:58.000 Like, alcohol is perfectly legal.
00:21:59.000 Sell whatever you want, it's perfectly legal to do.
00:22:02.000 But don't claim to hold a moral standard that you don't apply to yourself.
00:22:09.000 So he's actually ripping the other Muslim for not being religious enough, is what I'll say. 1.00
00:22:13.000 Don't worry, he's not like those other obnoxious Muslims, though. 1.00
00:22:16.000 Says Abdul Al Said. 1.00
00:22:17.000 Kind of an amazing, amazing thing.
00:22:19.000 He says the average voter is with him.
00:22:20.000 There is very little evidence to this effect.
00:22:22.000 Let's put it this way. 0.77
00:22:23.000 If Dearborn, which is an incredibly radicalized Islamic center in Michigan, were not in Michigan, El Sayed certainly would not have won the primaries and he would not be a candidate for higher office, period. 0.71
00:22:33.000 And he'd be losing by double digits probably at this point if he did not have the support of the radicals. 0.61
00:22:37.000 It's not the average voter that's with him, it's the radicals who are with him.
00:22:42.000 You know, I think the typical American voter doesn't like the idea of government tyranny.
00:22:45.000 I don't think they like the idea of masked thugs on the streets shooting people in the face or the back of the head.
00:22:50.000 I don't think they like the idea of government agents going into preschools.
00:22:54.000 So, no, I actually think the average voter is with me.
00:22:58.000 In abolishing ICE is what he's talking about.
00:23:00.000 By the way, government thugs shooting people in the back of the head is a pretty extraordinary description of the men and women at ICE.
00:23:05.000 It really is.
00:23:06.000 Well, Democratic candidates in these states who are pretending that they are actual moderates, they're lying to you.
00:23:10.000 They're not telling you the truth.
00:23:12.000 That happens all over, unfortunately.
00:23:12.000 But you know what?
00:23:14.000 Let's say you walk into one of the big cell phone provider stores and you ask them about all their programs.
00:23:19.000 It's not that they're going to lie to you, but they're going to provide you such a smorgasbord of options that you're never going to figure out what to do.
00:23:24.000 And then eventually you're just like, hey, give me the one that gives me the unlimited data.
00:23:27.000 Don't want to hear about this anymore.
00:23:28.000 And then you sign whatever they put in front of you.
00:23:30.000 Well, you don't have to do that.
00:23:31.000 Just head on over to Pure Talk.

00:24:18.000 As far as his own radicalism, it turns out the Washington Free Beacon, which has done stellar reporting on El Sayed because the mainstream media have decided never to cover in any way the infusion of radical Islam into American political campaigns, the Free Beacon's been doing the work nobody else will do.
00:24:32.000 They are now reporting that at least six men.
00:24:34.000 Who joined Abdul El Sayed in signing a notorious 2012 letter calling for a Muslim Brotherhood purge of the media and police have also donated handsomely to his two runs for office, mostly to his current Senate campaign.
00:24:45.000 The total haul from his fellow Brotherhood backers was at least $26,000, according to the records.
00:24:50.000 Some examples include Dr. Hani Sakar, a regional director of the Eastern Region of Muslim Brotherhood's U.S. apparatus, who gave $1,000 to El Sayed's Senate campaign.
00:25:00.000 The doctor was listed in a 1992 phone directory of Muslim Brotherhood leaders submitted by federal prosecutors.
00:25:07.000 In 2018, this donor to El Sayed's campaign used a Muslim Brotherhood logo as his Facebook profile photo and blasted Egyptian President Abdul el Sisi as a dog of the Jews.
00:25:19.000 Other donors include Dr. Hesham Gayar, a representative of the Egyptian Foundation who today works quietly in Michigan's Barbara Ann Carminos Cancer Institute.
00:25:28.000 He's donated at least $7,000 to El Sayed for Senate in Michigan.
00:25:33.000 Dr. Khaled El Sayas, a representative of Rebuilding Egypt, gave $2,700 to El Sayed's campaign.
00:25:39.000 Archives of a webpage from 2011 and 2012 showed a group that he was a member of actively backing the Muslim Brotherhood revolution in Egypt.
00:25:49.000 There are a bunch of other co signees, by the way, to that letter, who are even more radical than that.
00:25:56.000 So, again, the reason that Abdul El Sayed right now is even competitive in Michigan is because he's a very bad candidate.
00:26:03.000 And he's a bad candidate because he's too radical.
00:26:04.000 Here's the Senate Leadership Fund ad against El Sayed.
00:26:10.000 Abdul El Sayed in his own words.
00:26:13.000 When I die and stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don't want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Sharia compliant way. 0.87
00:26:22.000 The Sharia law way. 0.92
00:26:23.000 What's that? 0.96
00:26:24.000 Using government to dictate how women dress, requiring they have a guardian, or prohibiting women from filing for divorce. 0.98
00:26:32.000 The Sharia law compliant way? 0.94
00:26:34.000 Abdul El Sayed's way.
00:26:36.000 SLFPAC is responsible for the content of this advertising.
00:26:40.000 By the way, you can notice the crowd that SLF is targeting in that ad, and that would presumably be the formerly security moms.
00:26:47.000 We would call the security moms from 2004, you know, soccer moms who are not particularly interested in the quote unquote Sharia law way.
00:26:53.000 So it'll be interesting to see what happens in that race. 0.87
00:26:55.000 Everybody who's saying that El Sayed is definitely going to win has lost the thread.
00:26:58.000 The same thing is true in Maine. 0.81
00:27:00.000 Troy Jackson, who's been a member of every single political party in Maine, I assume at some point he will be part of, you know, pretty much every Like, there are parties that have not yet been invented in Maine that Jackson will eventually end up as a member of.
00:27:15.000 He's running against Susan Collins, and he has also lost the thread. 0.63
00:27:19.000 Maine is a very purpley state when it comes to the Senate.
00:27:23.000 Susan Collins has been a representative in Maine for several terms at this point, but he was out there campaigning in the lead up to the election with AOC.
00:27:30.000 Is AOC wildly popular in Maine?
00:27:33.000 It's a very weird move.
00:27:35.000 She had much more to say, by the way, about politics than he did.
00:27:38.000 He was basically silent as she made her New York Senate campaign pretty clear.
00:27:42.000 Here she was. 1.00
00:27:45.000 And the House and the Senate have always been institutions for the ruling class in America. 1.00
00:27:55.000 And they call us a democracy, but there's only one class of people that can afford to bundle and collect millions and millions of dollars to run for office. 0.94
00:28:06.000 And Susan Collins is a member of the ruling class. 0.98
00:28:13.000 And what this institution tries to do. 1.00
00:28:19.000 Is protect it from being intruded upon by working class Americans.
00:28:28.000 And so they want to call people communists, they call them this, they call them that. 0.52
00:28:34.000 But really, what it is, is that they're afraid, they've been afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the United States Senate.
00:28:43.000 Again, nobody's afraid of a logger in the United States Senate.
00:28:45.000 They're afraid of a man who has taken literally every political position and currently would just caucus with the Democrats on every significant matter. 0.51
00:28:54.000 And of course, the de rigueur question that is now being asked of every Democrat is to condemn Israel.
00:28:59.000 This is always the de rigueur question that is now being asked by every Democratic youth.
00:29:03.000 This issue, by the way, for the American public is way down on the list.
00:29:06.000 Like, way down on the list because nobody actually believes, if they have half a brain, that a tiny country in the Middle East of 10 million population is actually running the United States. 0.99
00:29:14.000 You have to be a complete dolt or a conspiracy theorist moron to believe all of that. 0.98
00:29:20.000 But this was legitimately one of the first questions that Jackson was asked was America first or Israel first? 1.00
00:29:25.000 This is an absurdity.
00:29:28.000 America first or Israel first? 0.79
00:29:30.000 And second, Day one agenda if we take back both the House and the Senate. 0.85
00:29:42.000 Well, I mean, America first.
00:29:45.000 I mean, I don't want to see blank checks going to Netanyahu anymore.
00:29:49.000 Oh, and that's the important thing.
00:29:54.000 That's the important thing.
00:29:55.000 He said the words.
00:29:56.000 By the way, Troy Jackson is running on abolishing ICE.
00:29:59.000 I think that if Troy Jackson wins, or if Abdullah Sayed wins, and if the Democrats take the White House in 2028, Got to start those vans back up from the southern border directly to Maine.
00:30:08.000 We'll see how the people of Maine really enjoy the abolition of ICE if Troy Jackson ends up in the Senate.
00:30:14.000 I do.
00:30:15.000 I've been saying for months now we should defund ICE.
00:30:20.000 We should abolish ICE.
00:30:22.000 I mean, defunding it is probably what we can do, even with him being the president.
00:30:33.000 But I do believe that there's such a stain on ICE now that it should be abolished. 0.94
00:30:38.000 Again, this is what Democrats are running on in purpley states. 0.94
00:30:41.000 We'll see how it works out.
00:30:42.000 Maybe it'll work.
00:30:43.000 Maybe it'll work because it's such a blue wave because people don't like Trump that much.
00:30:46.000 But this is a crazy strategy.
00:30:47.000 Just a basic strategic point is nuts.
00:30:50.000 And campaigning with AOC in Maine is kind of crazy.
00:30:54.000 Here she was talking to a so called trans student, meaning a man who believes that he is a woman.
00:31:00.000 Her excuse for supporting quote unquote trans rights is a little lacking.
00:31:07.000 That when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers, their rapists, and their assaulters on campuses across America.
00:31:22.000 And that's why I think it's very important for all of us to understand and to feel and to know that our fight is united.
00:31:33.000 It really is united.
00:31:35.000 I don't support the rights of trans people just to protect my own rights.
00:31:42.000 But I support the rights of trans women because I'm a girl's girl.
00:31:49.000 And I think that all of our bodily autonomy is tied together.
00:31:55.000 The right to choose over our bodies is the right to choose over our bodies. 1.00
00:32:02.000 So, in other words, your right to kill a baby is also your right to chop off your penis. 1.00
00:32:07.000 I think that's what she's trying to say in Maine. 1.00
00:32:10.000 We'll see how that plays.
00:32:11.000 Also, that's a very weird defense.
00:32:12.000 I'm a girl's girl, therefore, I support boys pretending to be girls.
00:32:15.000 Or who believe they're girls.
00:32:16.000 That's an interesting take right there.
00:32:20.000 Whatever comes out of this election, one thing will be absolutely true.
00:32:23.000 Both parties seem to have lost the thread of normalcy.
00:32:28.000 If the Republicans lose, it's because they lost the thread of normalcy in places like Texas with Ken Paxton, or because they lost the thread of normalcy nationally.
00:32:36.000 If the Democrats lose, it's because they picked a bunch of crazy candidates like the James Tallaricos in Texas, or like the Abdul Al Sayeds in Michigan, or like the Troy Jacksons in Maine.
00:32:47.000 All the American people are begging for over and over and over is some form of normalcy, and they're not being offered it by pretty much anyone.
00:32:53.000 What an amazing video you just watched!
