Abdul El-Sayed FIRES BACK after critics made his Muslim name and faith an issue.

"Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is as American as Donald Trump. It's as American as whatever JD stands for."
He says he refused to hide his identity to make others comfortable.

"I am 100% American."

Leila Fadel: You walked out during your victory speech and everybody knew you as Abdul El-Sayed, and you said, “My name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, and I’m your next senator.” Why did you make that choice?

Abdul El-Sayed: I’ve been Abdul since kindergarten. I’ve been Abdul my whole life. Most people who know me professionally know me by Abdul. Much of my family still calls me Abdulrahman.

But the opposition decided to make my name such an issue, and my faith such an issue.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is as American as Mike Rogers. It’s as American as Donald Trump. It’s as American as whatever JD stands for.

It is an American name. I am 100% American, and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is my name.

For all of those folks who have had to try to hide their name or hide their identity, or been told or made fun of why their name is otherizing, I wanted to fully claim it.

My name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, and I was just elected U.S. Senator from Michigan.

The reaction was like, “Well, he walked up there and spoke Arabic.”

And you’re like, “Yeah, do you know how many families speak Arabic who are just as American as you are?”

There is this consistent attempt to try to make America small. And what I wanted to show was just how big America is and that Michigan chose that big America.

I don’t need people to know how to say my name, but I need folks to understand that whatever my name is, I’m going to show up and I’m going to work for you.

HISTORIC UPSET IN MISSISSIPPI!

Stephen A. Smith CONFRONTS Trump over his promised TRILLIONS in investment:

“The American people are saying, ‘When are we going to see it?’”

Trump fires back, accusing Canada, Mexico and other countries of stealing America’s auto industry.

Stephen A. Smith: Weeks ago, you told me, "Trillions of dollars are coming into America. You'll see, you'll see."

The American people are saying, "When are we going to see it? We haven't seen it yet."

Donald Trump: Well, it takes a while to have the plants open.

Massive car companies are coming in—they're leaving Mexico, they're leaving Canada.

They stole 60% of our companies. Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Germany and Japan.

They took our car industry and they cut it in half, by more than half.

What I've done is we have auto plants now being built all over the United States, including Detroit, where they're doing massive expansions of existing plants.

I also saved the steel industry. Without tariffs, it would be impossible.

Stephen A. Smith PRESSES Trump over diesel prices soaring from $4 to over $6.

Trump admits: “That’s because of the war.”

Then issues another warning to Iran:

“If they are, we’ll bomb that one too.”

Stephen A. Smith: In the Midwest, you’re talking about tractors and what have you. It was like $4 per gallon for diesel fuel, and now it’s over $6.

Donald Trump: That’s because of the war. Yes, that’s because of the war.

But remember this: under Biden, gasoline was higher than Trump. Under Barack Hussein Obama, gasoline was higher than Trump. And they didn’t take out Iran—I did.

Stephen A. Smith: So basically what you’re saying is the tariffs, the war—even though obviously it contributed to an elevation in prices and creating affordability issues—you’re saying you have no doubt that you did the right thing and you wouldn’t do anything differently?

Donald Trump: Well, look—can you say no doubt? There’s a possibility that they wouldn’t have used the nuclear weapon that they were two weeks away from having. In which case, I guess I would say I shouldn’t have done this.

But I think the probability, the strong probability, is they would have used it, and they would have wiped out the entire Middle East, and they would have gone beyond that.

These are very vicious people, they’re very violent people. They were trying to get a nuclear weapon to use it, and I bombed the hell out of their sites.

Now we have a site called Pickaxe Mountain, which I may do or may not do. They haven’t been very active there, but if they are, we’ll bomb that one too.

So if that’s the case, that makes oil going up actually a pretty small amount.

🚨 BREAKING: “THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT KILLING YOU!” 😳

Stephen A. Smith delivers a chilling warning to President Trump about threats coming from Tehran — and Trump’s response is ICE COLD.

Now, reports of threats against top U.S. officials, including Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent, are raising serious alarm.

🙏 Pray for their safety. This is terrifying.

Abdul El-Sayed THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET, daring Trump to block his plan to expand Medicare.

“I dare Donald Trump to veto it. I dare him. Make him veto it. Make him.”

He even says he’ll put Trump’s name on the bill if that’s what it takes.

Leila Fadel: Do you have concerns that this moment that your party has could be squandered?

Abdul El-Sayed: Absolutely. People are fed up with politics generally. They are looking for an alternative, and they have very temporarily put their trust in us.

What is the point of power if you’re not using it to make people’s lives better? Winning and losing elections is not the outcome. Making people’s lives better is the outcome.

Leila Fadel: Can you make things more affordable in the months ahead?

Abdul El-Sayed: Yes.

Leila Fadel: How?

Abdul El-Sayed: End the war, stop the tariffs.

Leila Fadel: Can you expand healthcare?

Abdul El-Sayed: Yes.

Leila Fadel: How?

Abdul El-Sayed: Make sure Medicaid tax cuts don’t take hold, bring back the ACA subsidies, and then start toward the path of Medicare for All.

There’s a public consensus that we should be guaranteeing healthcare here. Then there’s a political consensus that says we can’t.

The only reason there’s a difference between the public consensus and the political consensus is somebody’s money. It is pharma money, it is insurance money, it is hospital money.

Leila Fadel: But what is possible, given that you have to work with Republicans in order to get legislation passed?

Abdul El-Sayed: If we put down a bill tomorrow that said we were going to make vision, dental, and hearing whole, eliminate all the gaps in Medicare, and extend it to children and people under 55, that thing would have 95% support in the public. Let’s go do it.

Leila Fadel: But it has to have that support in the Congress.

Abdul El-Sayed: Sure, and then I dare Donald Trump to veto it. I dare him.

Make him veto it. Make him.

I bet you, put his name on it, he’ll probably pass it. I’m not above doing that.

I don’t care what it’s called. I just want people out there to be able to have healthcare

Abdul El-Sayed DOUBLES DOWN on calling Trump the “dumbest effing guy who ever was president.”

“The way you take on a bully is to bully back.”

Then he claims Trump secretly wants his approval:

“He wants me to like him. Call my office.”

Leila Fadel: The way a lot of people have dealt with the president is through flattery, appealing to him, maybe to his ego, to his transactional approach.

Abdul El-Sayed: You mean manipulate his narcissism?

Leila Fadel: No, that’s not what I’m saying.

Abdul El-Sayed: That’s actually exactly what you’re saying, right? You’re not using those words. He’s a narcissist, and the way you manipulate a narcissist is to flatter them because in his mind, the only thing that matters is how much praise he’s getting at any given moment.

Leila Fadel: You recently called President Trump the “dumbest effing guy who ever was president.”

Abdul El-Sayed: True.

Leila Fadel: You’ve also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is.

Abdul El-Sayed: True.

Leila Fadel: Why are you taking that approach?

Abdul El-Sayed: Because he’s a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them.

The way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong—it makes them feel weak.

I’m not going to play around and pretend that somehow this man is intelligent. I’m not going to play around and somehow pretend that this man has any strategy, or that this man is somehow brilliant.

Leila Fadel: Do you think this could just push him away, this type of approach, calling him dumb and unserious?

Abdul El-Sayed: No, because he cannot stand being disliked.

I’m going to say this and it’s probably going to reach his desk, and he won’t be able to resist it—he wants me to like him.

Leila Fadel: You think he wants you to like him?

Abdul El-Sayed: Call my office. We can have a meeting.

Piers Morgan CONFRONTS Kevin O'Leary over Trump's Iran war and soaring prices, but the Shark Tank investor points to another culprit: TARIFFS.
"Companies were absorbing the tariffs, but at some point, they had to put them through."
And when Piers asks if Trump should reset his tariff policy, O'Leary's answer is blunt: "No, that's not going to happen."

: "It's about the economy, stupid."
The economy in the United States is doing very, very well, but it has not trickled down yet to the middle class, which rose up last night and said, "What about me?"
Piers Morgan: What would you do about the tariff wars that Trump's been waging? If you're a farmer in rural America, you've just been hit by a double whammy—the tariffs and then the Iran war economic fallout.
Would you, if you were Trump, just do a reset on the tariffs?
Kevin O'Leary: No, that's not going to happen.
What is going to happen is Jamieson Greer will start in North America, the Canadian dispute, and then tie it to the Mexican dispute so there's a North American agreement by the time the Trump administration is over.
You talk about farmers, electricians and plumbers, the people that should be becoming millionaires that are not. They're the ones that will become the primary focus of policy.
