Jesse Watters: Welcome to the Abdul show – Transcript

00:00The ice maiden of the Democrats is back. Biden's brutish Nancy Pelosi is sharpening her claws again. This time for Abdul Elsed. As the radical Michigan candidate scrambles to win over Jewish and black voters, Pelosi is taking aim at his anti-Israel rhetoric without so much as even saying his name.

00:22>> Yeah. When you say Israel doesn't have the right to be a Jewish state, that's anti-Semitic as far as I'm concerned with all that. >> Who says that? Uh I I I Mandami has said that. Alsad has said that um that he doesn't believe that he they should be a Jewish state. Uh that's concerning.

00:41>> Yeah. No, it's more than concerning. It's wrong. >> Yeah. >> It's wrong. And it isn't a reflection of the Democrats in the Congress of the United States. >> This new person in Michigan, we'll see if he gets elected to the Congress. But >> we'll see if he gets elected indeed. But in Abdul's mind, he's already won.

01:00Positioning himself as the Democrat's next kingmaker. >> Every every person that's been rumored to be thinking about running for president in 2028 has called me up. It's not because they care about me. It's because they care about you. What that patterns then is a 2028 primary where people are like, "Well, Michigan took a bet on that guy. Maybe I should sound a little bit more like that guy." [snorts] >> Wow. With friends like this, Jesse Pelosi won't even say his name. that

01:27person in Michigan. We'll see if he gets elected. She did this to the squad when they came in in 2019. Uh AOC ran to her office trying to get on committees or trying to get legislation and got the door in her face. And uh just last year, AOC said her work life is so much better now that Pelosi is no longer the speaker. Do you think these DSA candidates are actually going to have important leadership positions? You think that their agenda will become the Democratic Party's agenda?

01:53>> No. I mean, they won't be given uh positions like that, but they'll seize them. >> Yeah. >> And uh NY's just bitter because Abdul beat her girl, Sour Grapes, Salty Grapes, whatever her name is. Stevens.

02:07And uh also he hates Israel and she loves Israel. She's always loved Israel. And also he's a migraine. I mean, he brought in. Now every Democrat that she works with has to answer for Per. It's annoying and she hates it. She just wants to get rid of him. And she can see how controversial he is. And he she's going to have to answer for every crazy thing he says. And he's divisive. He's

02:34divided the party along religious and racial lines. And she's savvy enough to smell that this guy's nothing but trouble. And and then he gets out there and he's never won a race. You know, he's never won an election. And he's talking like he's King Kong. this. He's like a boxer that goes out blah blah blah talks all this trash leading up to the fight and then gets knocked out in the first round. This guy could get knocked out and make a fool out of

03:00Barack Obama and make a fool out of AOC and Sanders, but he won't disappear. Even if he loses, he's not going to go anywhere. But if he wins, welcome to the Abdul Show. This guy's gonna be lifting weights. He's going to be in our face and you're never going to be able to unsee him. So, this is why we're begging Rogers to please win.

03:23>> We'll probably never see another barberh shop moment either. Jessica, I know you supported his primary opponent and you referred to yourself as a a moderate. You are Jewish. Are you comfortable with Abdul Elsed winning a Senate seat?

03:36>> Well, I actually I didn't weigh in on the primary. I liked Mallalerie McMaro. Um but >> said so. >> Yeah. But I'm just saying I wasn't like >> and like Stevens. >> Yeah, that's fine. There were a bevy of opinions in the primary and now we have a candidate and we need to win the seat.

03:54Which is why Nancy Pelosi after those comments posted, make no mistake, Democrats are united in a big blue wave for the people. Lower cost, protect healthcare, defend our democracy. We must elect a Democratic House and Senate. I urge everyone across America to support our Democratic Senate nominees, including Abdul Alied. Every seat matters. Every vote counts. Let's win together. Signed NP. So, you know that she wrote it herself.

04:17>> What took so long? >> It was an hour after the clip came out that she said this. >> Anyway, >> people don't get their top choices sometimes in these races. Denying the fact that there is an issue with some Jewish voters and some black voters is obviously stupid. I'm not here to insult the intelligence of our viewers. That's why Haley Stevens and Jim Klyurn are campaigning with Abdul on Sunday to try

04:42to make better inroads with black voters. But I will say that the fear-mongering about Abdul, which Jesse today, the way you talk about him is not how you felt. Certainly when you interviewed him, smiling, I can't help it. I like Abdul. Abdul's got it. I mean, you said I have to tip your hat to him. He won this primary when he was being outspent. what something like 60 to one.

05:04>> Yeah, he won a primary and now he might win. He said he's won nothing. >> He hasn't. He's never won an election. >> And that >> he came out for reparations the other day. He wants to take away everyone's healthcare and give it to the government. I'm not for that. I'm not for abolishing it.

05:21>> I like my healthare. >> Good. You get to keep it. >> NO, THAT'S WHAT OBAMA SAID. >> You still have it. >> No, not when you take over everybody's. It's called nationalizing it. Jillian, in the latest uh Fox News polling shows that Mike Rogers is about 22% among the black vote across the state of Michigan.

05:37He won 11% of the black vote two years ago when he lost narrowly to listen. So this guy does have trouble. Do you actually think somebody who pals around with Jew haters, is anti-Israel, can't get the black vote, can can actually do this? Will Klyber be able to rescue him? He rescued Biden, but that was in his home state of South Carolina.

05:55This feels different. >> And it was a different era, right? That was a whole different time. I will first of all kudos to Nancy Pelosi for saying without any caveats unequivocally uh it is wrong uh for people to believe or think uh that Israel does not have the right to exist as a Jewish state that actually takes quite some courage to stand up and say in this political climate. I'm very glad that she did. Um

06:20you know she also said in in the course of that same interview uh I want to read this because I I took a note for myself. She said the fact is I really do not know of anybody there on our side who is engaged in anti-semitism. She said um it doesn't mean when people like say are that it has an impact on the consensus of the Democratic party and Hakee Jeff

06:47has been very clear on that. So the same big tent party uh that embraces everybody that votes for them and all their representatives here she's saying have a very clear consensus and it is guided somehow by Hakee Jeff from up above. It's a very outdated way to look at Washington as I'm sure you like you could probably tell us better than

07:11anyone here. Um, Hakeem Jeff is not in any capacity uh the foremost voice on reigning in anti-semitism in the Democratic party. He is not a thought leader on the topic.

07:24>> Why she is going there, I don't know. But my point being, kudos for calling something a spade a spade. >> But she also seems a little bit sort of old-fashioned in the way she's looking at this. >> Greg, >> well, here's the deal. I It's hard being Abdul. Imagine you're like a cult leader who already picked a day the world will end and you want to cancel the date. So your true believers are not going to be inclined to believe you anymore. It's the same thing if you reject

07:51anti-semitism. The core of Abdul's coalition is anti-semites and so they will read this as a political and religious surrender. If Abdul denounces extremism, he will alienate the extremists. This is a problem when you get in with like Hassan Piker's audience. Uh, you can't make a clean break. It's hard. It's hard to break up with a crazy stripper. Jesse, tell me.

08:17>> And the radical coalition of anti-semmites. They're like a crazy unattractive drug add table dancer with meth teeth. You can't get rid of them. You're going to have to change your address. You're going to have to leave town. You know, this is what happens when you embrace conspiracies or extremist ideology. The only way to return to the real world is by pissing off your original customers. You have to change. But I want to also point out something that Jessica said. We have a candidate. I think you were mentioning I

08:45don't know if this was from Nancy Pelosi or your own thoughts. We have a candidate and we need to win the seat. So this is the only way you can deal with Abdul is to think about it politically and not a matterof life problem. Because if you were to reflect on the reality of who he is, you would run screaming. this guy would not be your friend. He would not affirm any of your feelings or beliefs. But politically, if he wins, you know, that means the Democrats increase their

09:11power. So, you have to live in the political when you discuss him. But a lot of people, you know, they don't have that luxury. you know, we're not, you know, I I I don't want another radical leftist Islamist in any part of government because I don't like the way they think, even if they were Republican or Democrat. But that's just me and I think I'll shut up now and start thinking about food or strippers.
