Full transcript

1. 0:00After Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate
2. 0:02victory, he's already showing some red
3. 0:04flags including some unnecessary
4. 0:06aggression toward a Sky News journalist.
5. 0:08What's my take on it? Let's talk about
6. 0:10it.
7. 0:12>> [music]
8. 0:13>> How's [clears throat] everybody doing?
9. 0:14My name is Anthony Brian Logan and today
10. 0:16we're going to talk about the brand new
11. 0:17Democratic senator from Michigan, Abdul
12. 0:20El-Sayed. Already showing some red flags
13. 0:22in his character and this now viral
14. 0:24video between him and a Sky News
15. 0:27journalist. I guess the journalist was
16. 0:29asking too many questions, maybe
17. 0:31questions he didn't like and that caused
18. 0:33Abdul to go all the way off. It was
19. 0:36nuts. I have never seen anything quite
20. 0:38like it. I've seen politicians
21. 0:40journalists get into a little bit of
22. 0:42back and forth. Of course we see Trump
23. 0:44all the time talking about, "Hey, that
24. 0:45question is terrible. Fake news CNN."
25. 0:48You hear things like that. But this goes
26. 0:51to the next level. It's one thing to
27. 0:53talk to somebody, right? Just
28. 0:54communicating, "I don't like that
29. 0:56question. I'm not answering that. That
30. 0:58question sucks." That's totally fine.
31. 1:00Everybody got freedom of speech. But
32. 1:02when you get to touching and all that
33. 1:03kind of stuff is like, "Whoa, whoa, wait
34. 1:05a minute now. Hold on. Just one doggone
35. 1:07minute. Okay, I'm just asking you
36. 1:08questions. I'm not trying to be doing no
37. 1:10wrestling, no chroma gra, no jujitsu,
38. 1:13kung fu, nothing like that. I'm a
39. 1:14journalist and that's it." But
40. 1:17Abdul El-Sayed, aka Abdul Rahman Mohamed
41. 1:19El-Sayed. We'll talk about the name in a
42. 1:21little bit. He appears to think that
43. 1:23it's okay to just put your hands on
44. 1:25people if you don't like what's being
45. 1:27asked. If you feel like you're being
46. 1:28harassed by a journalist, you can just
47. 1:30touch them and all that kind of stuff.
48. 1:32I don't think that's okay. And before I
49. 1:34go any further, let's get straight to
50. 1:36the clip. Of course, I will link to the
51. 1:38clip and everything else in the box if
52. 1:41you want to see and hear it without my
53. 1:42commentary. If you are not G Facebook,
54. 1:45etc., visit the link in the bio, go to
55. 1:47the corresponding article on the
56. 1:48website. But without further ado, let's
57. 1:50go ahead and roll it.
58. 1:51>> Are you registered to vote? Are you
59. 1:52registered to vote in the state of
60. 1:53Michigan?
61. 1:54>> I'm registered to vote. I'm I'm I'm
62. 1:55>> So why would I care to have a
63. 1:56conversation with you? This isn't going
64. 1:58to me. Why would I care to have a
65. 1:59conversation with you?

80. 2:18>> What country are you in?
81. 2:18>> I I'm based in the United States. You

83. 2:21>> But you report for where? Where are your
84. 2:23viewers? Where are your viewers?
85. 2:24>> They're international. They are
86. 2:25international.
87. 2:26>> Sky News is not is not viewed in the
88. 2:27United States of America. It's only
89. 2:29viewed in the UK.
90. 2:30>> Like five people watch Sky News in the
91. 2:31United States.
92. 2:32>> So I'm just going to tell you
93. 2:33>> I feel it's your election not relevant.
94. 2:35It's not relevant to the UK.
95. 2:36>> I've answered all the questions.
96. 2:37>> Is your election not relevant to the
97. 2:38rest of the world?
98. 2:40Is it not relevant to the rest of the
99. 2:41world?
100. 2:41>> Please stop chasing me around. Please.
101. 2:42>> I thought I'm not chasing you around.
102. 2:44I'm asking you questions. It's been a
103. 2:45>> Let's Let's pause before he gets into
104. 2:47his reaction. Um number one
105. 2:51I am watching Sky News right now,
106. 2:53obviously, and you guys are as well. And
107. 2:55before this whole curfuffle, I've
108. 2:56watched Sky News quite a
109. 2:58They are a pretty respected news
110. 3:00organization. I don't know why he would
111. 3:02react like that, but I don't want to
112. 3:04talk too much right now. I'm going to
113. 3:06let the journalist talk a little bit
114. 3:07here.
115. 3:08>> questions. It's been a stressful
116. 3:10political contest here in Michigan.
117. 3:13Abdul El-Sayed, if he gets to Capitol
118. 3:15Hill, he wants to serve on the Foreign
119. 3:18Affairs Committee.
120. 3:19>> Oh boy.
121. 3:19>> His responsibilities as a senator will
122. 3:21extend far beyond the borders of the
123. 3:24United States. There are consequences
124. 3:26for the rest of the world in terms of
125. 3:29what happens here, who gets elected, and
126. 3:32who has power. It won't be the last time
127. 3:35that Abdul El-Sayed, should he be
128. 3:37elected, is asked questions by
129. 3:39international media.
130. 3:41>> Of course. I mean, obviously. Now,
131. 3:43there's a lot I want to say about that,
132. 3:44but let's go back.
133. 3:45Let's go back. Okay.
134. 3:47The The touching is too much. You have
135. 3:50the right to not like a journalist. You
136. 3:54think they're harassing you or whatever.
137. 3:55That's totally fine. But don't put your
138. 3:57hands on people. I don't know what's up
139. 3:58with that lately. That seems to be a
140. 3:59thing. People just think it's okay to
141. 4:01put your hands on people. do that. I
142. 4:03know you guys are a smart audience who
143. 4:05are watching this video, so you guys
144. 4:06already know I'm preaching to the choir.
145. 4:08But for those who may not know, for
146. 4:10those may not understand, do not, I
147. 4:12repeat, do not put your hands on people.
148. 4:15You can express yourself without all
149. 4:17that touchy-feely. Because everybody
150. 4:19doesn't like that. I don't like that. I
151. 4:21don't do that to anybody, and I don't
152. 4:23want it done to me. And if you have your
153. 4:25hands up and you're aggressive, I think
154. 4:27you're about to fight. And I don't want
155. 4:29no fight. I don't want no smoke. I don't
156. 4:31want no problems, and I definitely don't
157. 4:32want my senator here to go full Alotta
158. 4:35what? Bro, tap me. I don't want that to
159. 4:38happen, okay? That's just not really a
160. 4:40good look. Now, I'm not in Michigan. I'm
161. 4:42not a Michigander. Shout out to you guys
162. 4:44who were there. I'm praying for you guys
163. 4:46dealing with this guy for 6 years.
164. 4:48But he still a US senator, and what
165. 4:50journalists said is correct. What he
166. 4:52does or does not do can affect not only
167. 4:55his state in Michigan, but also the
168. 4:59country, the US, and the entire world.
169. 5:01Furthermore, do you know how many
170. 5:03Muslims there are in the United Kingdom
171. 5:05and in Europe? You are a big deal over
172. 5:08there to them, maybe even more than you
173. 5:11are in your own home state in Michigan.
174. 5:14Because you are one of them.
175. 5:19You're just not over there, you're over
176. 5:20here, but it's all the same.
177. 5:23Think about if a Nigerian became
178. 5:25president, a Nigerian-American.
179. 5:27Okay, Adebayo Ogunleye, born to Nigerian
180. 5:30parents in Brooklyn, New York. He grows
181. 5:32up and becomes the president. Every
182. 5:34single Nigerian blogger, news outlet,
183. 5:37every Nigerian uncle, auntie, everybody
184. 5:40is going to be on you 24/7 in the USA,
185. 5:43abroad, everywhere else. What are they
186. 5:45going to say? Oh, my son, he has
187. 5:47transcended to the highest of heights.
188. 5:49He has become the president-o. He uh God
189. 5:51God is shining on us. He's going to give
190. 5:54Naija favor. That's what it's going to
191. 5:55be. And you got to be able to accept
192. 5:57that if you're in that high of a
193. 5:58position. Now, Abdul Rahman Muhammad El
194. 6:01Sayed. Some may say that I'm racist for
195. 6:04calling his name like that,
196. 6:07but he calls his name like that.
197. 6:09He may have kind of Anglicized it during
198. 6:12the campaign.
199. 6:13Yeah, I'm Abdul. My name is Abdul. But
200. 6:16nah, let's hear his real name right now
201. 6:19as he gives his acceptance speech after
202. 6:22he won because that clip right there was
203. 6:24on election day. He hadn't won yet,
204. 6:26which is crazy. You going to do all that
205. 6:27on election day? Anyway,
206. 6:29hey, wait till you get in office and put
207. 6:30the vest on and go kaboom. But anyway,
208. 6:32let's let's watch this.
209. 6:36>> [cheering]
210. 6:39>> My name
211. 6:42is Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed.
212. 6:45>> [cheering]
213. 6:47>> And the crowd goes wild. They love it.
214. 6:51>> [cheering]
215. 6:52>> And I am so proud and honored
216. 6:56to stand here as your senator-elect from
217. 6:58the great state of Michigan.
218. 7:03>> [cheering]
219. 7:05>> Up until right about now, you might have
220. 7:07noticed I always say "Inshallah" or "God
221. 7:10willing"
222. 7:11whenever the outcome of this race was
223. 7:13mentioned.
224. 7:14But today, tonight, we can turn that
225. 7:17Inshallah into a Alhamdulillah.
226. 7:21>> [cheering]
227. 7:22[applause]
228. 7:26[cheering]
229. 7:30>> I'm not I'm not pleased. I don't like
230. 7:32it. You know, all I can think is terror
231. 7:34attack. That's all I can think. And
232. 7:35shout out if you if you Muslim and you
233. 7:37watching, shout out to you, but I'm
234. 7:38saying
235. 7:39I'm I'm not a fan. I'm a millennial. I
236. 7:41was in high school when 9/11 happened.
237. 7:43This gives me flashbacks.
238. 7:45Okay. Now, let's go
239. 7:48to Dearborn, aka Dearbornistan,
240. 7:51Michigan.
241. 7:53This is probably well, I know it's a big
242. 7:56reason why
243. 7:57he succeeded in the race. Hey,
244. 8:00in Dearborn, what do you think
245. 8:03in Dearborn, what do you think the the
246. 8:06was for Abdul?
247. 8:08How much of the vote here in this place
248. 8:10in the United States do you think that
249. 8:11he got?
250. 8:17I'm going to I'm going to turn that on
251. 8:18down. You just hear the Islamic music
252. 8:20going on, but quite a few flags.
253. 8:22I'm seeing some, you know, Islamic
254. 8:24slogans, all kind of stuff.
255. 8:27A lot of stuff. This is Dearborn,
256. 8:29Michigan. This is not Saudi, Syria,
257. 8:34Pakistan, Afghanistan. This is
258. 8:38Dearborn, Michigan, U.S.A.
259. 8:41And as I said before,
260. 8:43when you get a lot of Muslims in one
261. 8:45area,
262. 8:47like a high percentage,
263. 8:49same thing with Somalis and other people
264. 8:51groups, they don't assimilate. They just
265. 8:53keep doing their own thing.
266. 8:55Some of the Indians as well. Shout out
267. 8:56to the Indians, but sometimes when you
268. 8:58get them all in one big space like that,
269. 9:00they just continue their own customs
270. 9:02that they had in their country of
271. 9:03origin. They create an enclave,
272. 9:06a piece of their country that's not in
273. 9:08their country, surrounded by a different
274. 9:10country. You have a Somali enclave in
275. 9:12Minnesota, Ohio, Maine. You have
276. 9:16Arab Muslim enclaves Dearborn, other
277. 9:19parts of the country. That's what this
278. 9:20is.
279. 9:21And
280. 9:23Abdulrahman Mohamed as I said,
281. 9:25represents that.
282. 9:28So, hey man, I'm praying for y'all in
283. 9:29Michigan. It's going to be a six years,
284. 9:32barring any unforeseen circumstance, you
285. 9:34got him for six years. That's how long a
286. 9:36Senate term is. And he's one of 100
287. 9:38senators in the nation. He can determine
288. 9:41your life in a particular way
289. 9:44from that position. I don't feel
290. 9:46comfortable having him there, and he
291. 9:48almost didn't win. They had to roll out
292. 9:50the big guns. Dearbornistan wasn't going
293. 9:52to be enough. They had to roll out, when
294. 9:54I say they, I mean the Democratic Party,
295. 9:56Barack Obama,
296. 9:57all these people because
297. 9:59the black population there was a little
298. 10:02bit skeptical, including a city council
299. 10:04member.
300. 10:05>> He has a big picture ideas, you you
301. 10:08Medicare for all, but guess what?
302. 10:11Um that idea has been floating around
303. 10:13for so long. I don't want people to be
304. 10:15misled
305. 10:16>> Right.
306. 10:16>> that if you you know, all of a sudden if
307. 10:19you send me to the US Senate, you're
308. 10:21going to have Medicare for all,
309. 10:22everybody's going to have free health
310. 10:23care. Well, somebody has to pay for it.
311. 10:25It's going to be a very difficult long
312. 10:28drawn out process
313. 10:30to get that done. But, meanwhile, we
314. 10:32have literacy issues here in the city of
315. 10:34Detroit.
316. 10:34>> Yes.
317. 10:35>> We have housing uh issues here. Those
318. 10:38are the kinds of things that we want
319. 10:40people to be able to work on
320. 10:42immediately. And that's those are the
321. 10:44kinds of things that Mike Rogers said he
322. 10:47would do. Uh when we met.
323. 10:50>> All right, there we go. So, this was
324. 10:51Mary Waters,
325. 10:53Detroit City Council Member at Large,
326. 10:55talking about she's not really buying
327. 10:57what El Sayed is selling, all these
328. 10:59lofty Democrat ideas that everybody know
329. 11:02not really going to happen. Even if it
330. 11:03did happen, it'd come at a really
331. 11:06lofty expense. But, as I close, I want
332. 11:08to say this. Shout out to you guys in
333. 11:10Michigan. Hopefully, you're able to deal
334. 11:12with El Sayed and it's not too much of a
335. 11:15distraction from what you're trying to
336. 11:16get done and it's not going to be a
337. 11:18hindrance to you guys living your lives
338. 11:20in the best way possible. But, hey, I
339. 11:22don't know. I mean, that that whole
340. 11:24thing that acceptance speech and then
341. 11:26you already look that thing with the
342. 11:28journalist, he hadn't even won the race.
343. 11:30You just out on the campaign trail
344. 11:32already tripping. Taking time bomb type
345. 11:34situation. You don't want a guy like
346. 11:36that
347. 11:37in such an important office again.
348. 11:40You're in the US Senate, going to DC,
349. 11:42one of 100 people in the country with
350. 11:44the same kind of job.
351. 11:46Only two per state. You're one of two in
352. 11:48your state. Really important job. Really
353. 11:50serious. Don't mess it up.
354. 11:53But, I think I'll leave that right there
355. 11:54for now. And what say you? What's your
356. 11:57opinion about Abdul El Sayed winning the
357. 12:00race out there in Michigan? How about
358. 12:01that interaction between him and the
359. 12:03journalist? How about the city council
360. 12:05member and what she said? Whatever your
361. 12:06thoughts are, let me know in the
362. 12:07comments below. You guys know where I'm
363. 12:09at. He's most certainly going to be an
364. 12:11issue, going to be a problem. I'm
365. 12:13already seeing anger issues. I don't
366. 12:15want that to transform into something
367. 12:18else. I don't want that anger to
368. 12:20manifest itself in a different way. We
369. 12:22don't want to see no physical incidents
370. 12:23at Capitol Hill. We don't want to have
371. 12:25no law bar type activity just happen to
372. 12:28happen from him. That's all I'm saying.
373. 12:31Hopefully he does a good job. You know,
374. 12:33he could. I mean, obviously, he's a
375. 12:34pretty smart guy. He's a physician, but
376. 12:37all the extracurriculars and, you know,
377. 12:40the religious stuff, keep it at the
378. 12:41door. Do your job well for not only
379. 12:44Michigan, but also the USA and the
380. 12:47entire world. Especially if you're going
381. 12:49to be on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
382. 12:50I mean, come on. But whatever your
383. 12:53thoughts are, please let me know in the
384. 12:54comments below.
385. 12:56And that's all I got to say for this
386. 12:57video. If you like what you heard,
387. 12:59please comment, rate, share,
388. 13:02and subscribe.
389. 13:06Peace.
