1
People would say, Abdul, you're running pre -West Senate, and you're a Democrat, why would you even show up to Cairo?
2
Don't you know it's brick red?
3
I don't see brick red here.
4
I see people.
5
I see people who want to know what their next
6
United States Senator thinks about things, and who want to have a conversation about it.
7
So, we got a question, please write your name.
8
That's cool!
9
Will you disavow a muzzle brotherhood?
10
Simple question.
11
No, your friend's got the mic.
12
I'm going to ask you a simple question.
13
You give me your name, I'll answer the question.
14
Okay, Tommy.
15
Hi, Tommy.
16
How are you?
17
Petoskey, how are we doing today?
18
Real quick disclaimer, there are going to be people in the room today who may not agree with all of us, may not agree with Abdul,
19
people coming here with open minds or otherwise, but everyone here is welcome.
20
If we disagree, we can disagree respectfully, because this campaign is built on kindness and respect,
21
and that's what we all need to do here to move our country forward right?
22
And I'm really honored to be able to introduce the man you've come here to see, our next United States Senator, Dr. Abdul El -Sayed.
23
All right, how are you doing from Abdu?
24
If, like, an old lady comes up to you in the supermarket and it says, I know you're from somewhere, who are you?
25
How do you respond to that?
26
I usually just put out my hand and say, I'm Abdul.
27
Nice to meet you. And if she...
28
The nice thing about having a name that's uncommon is that you're not very...
29
It's not like one of many Abduals that she probably knows.
30
Yeah.
31
So she either jogs her memory or she's like, nope.
32
And I'm like, well, it's okay.
33
You might know me.
34
I'm running for office.
35
And if she were to press you, if she were to say, what do you do for a living?
36
How do you describe what you do?
37
I would probably joke that I'm unemployed and I ask everybody I know for money.
38
I'm a doctor by training, I rebuild health departments, and I'm running for U .S.
39
Senate.
40
What do you say if you hear Abdul El -Sayed is too progressive to win?
41
I don't know what progressive means.
42
Really, nobody's given me a definition of what progressive means.
43
Are we speaking to politics of an era in the early 1900s?
44
Are we speaking to a certain social milieu or speaking to certain economic policies?
45
I am somebody who wants government to work for people.
46
I've spent most of my career trying to make government work for people.
47
I want you to have health care.
48
I want you to have good schools.
49
I want you to have good infrastructure.
50
I want to build an economy that you can participate in rather than one
51
that allows a billionaire to make a second billion when you can't even make your first 100 ,000.
52
I want to know that our democracy really does work for people rather than against people.
53
I want politicians to have to pay attention to the people they serve rather than the corporations who fund their campaigns.
54
I want us to stop fighting wars.
55
We don't need to be fighting.
56
Does that make me progressive?
57
I don't know.
58
But that's what I'm about.
59
And that's what I'm keep fighting for.
60
And what I've found is that when you take those ideas to quote -unquote red communities, most people are like, that makes sense to me.
61
And they're like, great, let's go do it.
62
Hi, Abdul.
63
Thank you so much for being in Petoskey and talking to us today.
64
I've been looking forward to hearing from you.
65
Can you tell us what you're going to do to keep all the Jewish communities in Michigan safe in this scary time?
66
Yeah.
67
What's your name?
68
My name is Val.
69
Val Esme.
70
I really appreciate your question.
71
You know, I have some very personal experience with knowing what it's like to be discriminated against because of my faith.
72
I want to build a Michigan and America where nobody is discriminated against for how they pray or if they pray.
73
To be honest, I wanted to ask him a harder question, but I felt like really in my heart what I'm afraid
74
of is what's happening to the Jews in not just in Michigan but around the world right now.
75
And it's really frightening for us.
76
And when Temple Israel had that terrorist attack and a car drove into their temple and nearly killed almost,
77
they could have killed, there was a hundred children in that temple at that time.
78
And if it weren't for the armed security guard that they had, those kids would be dead.
79
And I firmly believe in my right to have a safe and secure place to call home and that's Israel.
80
I think there's a way to provide that safety for Jewish community
81
and there's a way to provide safety and security for Palestinians and have it be a productive homeland for everybody.
82
You've said that you don't believe in ethnostates and
83
if there are Jewish Michiganders who feel like
84
that statement alone makes them feel less safe how do you respond to
85
that i might not get their votes but the idea
86
that one can sustain an ethnostate to the detriment of the murder of 70 000 children
87
and think that that is somehow you know inconsistent or consistent with our values we're just going to disagree
88
um is that going to be on camera my feeling is um that I don't have a great choice in this election,
89
to be honest with you.
90
And I'm not a one -issue voter.
91
And I think Abdul's got it right on most of the things that I care about.
92
Health care is huge.
93
Politics is broken.
94
I feel like he understands that.
95
So, yes, I'm going to vote for Abdul.
96
And I think it's important for the Jewish community to all stand together and vote for him as well because I think
97
Mike Rogers is not a good answer for us and won't solve any of these problems.
98
You said on a Fox News appearance...
99
I feel really good about being able to bring communities together and beat
100
Mike Rogers, who you and I both agree is a beta.
101
Their alpha is Donald Trump.
102
And then all the rest of them are all betas.
103
What does that make Mike Rogers?
104
It's a choice.
105
Does that mean you're an alpha?
106
I don't know what that means, but I do know that if it's me or Mike Rogers,
107
there is one person who's going to stand up and fight back,
108
and there's one person who's going to turn around and take whatever orders come to him.
109
So you know
110
Beta, but you don't know Alpha?
111
That's a choice for other people to make.
112
Because the whole point of this campaign is to bring you with me to Washington, D .C.
113
A lot of folks wonder, you know, why is it that you campaign this way?
114
I'm like, oh, you guys don't understand.
115
If the goal is simply to get elected, there are easier ways to get elected.
116
But the goal is not just to get elected.
117
That's not the point.
118
The point is to do something with the seat in the first place.
119
That's the point.
120
He's not going to be my seat.
121
He's going to be your seat.
122
So, if you've got a question, please raise your hand.
123
Abdul, will you disavow the muscle of brotherhood?
124
You give me your name, I'll answer the question.
125
Okay, Tommy.
126
Hi, Tommy, how are you?
127
I'm great. Are you?
128
Do you know what the Constitution of the United States is?
129
I have one simple question.
130
Will you disavow Muslims?
131
Sure.
132
Yeah, absolutely.
133
But I want to ask the question that you're asking.
134
Why are you asking the question?
135
Well, because they're a terrorist group.
136
Okay.
137
No, no, but what are you implying?
138
Do you assume that I wouldn't?
139
Yes.
140
Why not?
141
Because I have not heard you disavow them yet.
142
Have you disavowed them?
143
I haven't heard you disavow them yet.
144
I disavow them. Do you?
145
Great.
146
But here's the thing about it.
147
you're asking the question because implicitly you assume that I'll have dual loyalties right
148
you assume that somehow I wouldn't disavow or that I'll have some higher order allegiance than to the constitution correct
149
Tommy is that what you imply yes why would you think
150
that about me because I have not heard you disavow no no no why would you actually think
151
that about because I have not heard you disavow
152
but I just did but why would you actually think
153
that why would you have you asked everybody in your life if they disavow you?
154
I have not.
155
So why are you asking me?
156
Because I have not heard you disavow you.
157
No, no, no. Answer the question, Tommy.
158
Everybody knows the answer to it.
159
Answer the question.
160
Alright.
161
So let me just tell you.
162
I'm going to swear an oath to the Constitution of the United States.
163
And that Constitution guarantees us all the right to practice whatever faith you want or no faith at all. And now, you assume
164
So, you assume, Tommy, that because I am Muslim, that somehow I would have some allegiance to something that is not our constitution.
165
That's your assumption.
166
That's implicit in the question.
167
And what's interesting to me is that this is not the first time people have asked those kinds of questions.
168
Because, do you know who John F.
169
Kennedy is?
170
Do you know who that is, Tommy?
171
I do.
172
Alright.
173
Do you know what he was asked as the first possible
174
Catholic president of the United States?
175
What did they ask him?
176
You don't remember?
177
You should read history.
178
Tommy, when he ran for president, he was asked whether or not he was going to have allegiance to the Pope at the Vatican because,
179
of course, he's Catholic.
180
And his answer, famously, was that he was not running to be a Catholic president.
181
He was running to be president and happened to be Catholic.
182
I'm not running to be a Muslim senator.
183
I'm running for U .S.
184
Senate and happened to be Muslim.
185
And so, you know, It's important, I think, because you would ask this question in a way
186
that suggests that somehow our constitution shouldn't be the thing that all of us bear allegiance to.
187
And I'm just telling you that for me, that constitution is the guiding light.
188
It guarantees me the right to pray as I choose to pray or not pray at all.
189
guarantees you the right to pray as you choose to pray or not pray at all now
190
Tommy I'm gonna ask you about your faith are you a man of faith
191
I am what faith do you practice I am a Christian
192
you're a Christian do you no no I mean
193
it's a good question look I do you live by Christian doctrine I would say
194
so yeah good
195
and you try as hard as you can to live by Christian doctrine right do you think
196
I have to live by Christian doctrine do you do you it's up to me right Why?
197
Why is it up to me?
198
Because we have free will.
199
Right.
200
Free will and also in this country, what else do we have?
201
What else do we have, Tommy?
202
You tell me.
203
No, I mean, you're asking me about my allegiance to the Constitution.
204
It's the Constitution, my guy.
205
We have a Constitution.
206
And that Constitution guarantees you the right to live by your faith and guarantees me the right to do the same.
207
And the reality of it is this.
208
I'm never going to tell you what faith you can or can't practice.
209
I want to protect your right to practice your faith as you choose, as a Christian man.
210
The implication, though, is that it seems like you don't want to protect my right to practice as I choose to pray.
211
So I'm going to ask you,
212
do you disavow any attempt to read any religious doctrine into the laws of our country?
213
i do not you don't disavow that
214
so i think it's you who needs to understand the constitution not me best of luck to you sir
215
that was the first time i've heard him disavow
216
it yeah outright how many from here uh no how far
217
did you drive from uh an hour an hour are you working are you in school
218
i am at school
219
you're in school yeah in university yeah well not anymore okay no finished yeah okay what were you studying
220
i was doing marketing marketing yeah okay
221
tommy here yeah letty came look i'm i'm i'm all for a good conversation i really am
222
and you know i think tommy came in thinking he had a gotcha moment
223
and again sometimes the gotcha moments had in your mind are a little bit more complicated
224
when you actually have to have a conversation with a real person i think you know tommy came in thinking
225
or maybe he wasn't even thinking it but you know his question implied
226
that somehow i have dual loyalties my my loyalty is the constitution united states there's literally nothing about me
227
or my background that should call
228
that into question for anybody i've been serving the public uh since you know
229
i got into public service in 11 years ago by 2015
230
and you know what came out was you know sometimes the ideology
231
that assumes that somebody else doesn't believe in something implies
232
that you don't right
233
so look i want all of us to believe in the
234
constitution the constitution is the highest law of our land and
235
that you know because of our constitution nobody gets to dictate to anybody else how they pray
236
if they pray who they love how they love right
237
i just want everybody to have basic freedoms that's what this campaign is is
238
and has always been about i don't need
239
you uh to pray like me for me to protect your right to pray as you choose to pray
240
or not pray at all right that's the idea of the constitution that's what makes this country
241
so incredible it allows us to come together uh despite our
242
differences to build together what we can't have alone um i love
243
that about our country i hope tommy learns to love that too were you just funny that he walked out
244
i mean it was his choice i think he had a lot to think about after that that is all time
245
Thank you guys.
246
Thank you.
247
The assumptions that you have about what people think of you shouldn't get in your way.
248
The assumptions that they have about you shouldn't get in your way.
249
If you've got something to share, go share.
250
But first, go listen.
251
We've been all over the state.
252
We're not going to a lot of places we haven't been already.
253
We came and listened.
254
We want to understand and we want to be able to offer that feedback.
255
Here's what we could do.
256
Whether you voted for Trump or you didn't vote for Trump, whichever way you voted, you deserve to know your politicians work for you.
257
You deserve to know that you have a union at your workplace.
258
You deserve to know that one good job is enough.
259
You deserve to have housing.
260
You deserve to have health care.
261
You deserve to know that your tax dollars are going to work for you
262
and your kids rather than destroying somebody else and their kids.
263
So I have something to say.
264
As Bay City, let us welcome our next U .S.
265
Senator, Dr. Abdul El -Sayed.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
