Abdul El Sayed caught in lie that could reshape campaign; Hasan Piker walks into a buzzsaw

The Michigan Senate race turns nasty as Abdul El-Sayed trades insults with Sen. John Kennedy and faces new Muslim Brotherhood questions from Mike Rogers’ campaign. Plus: why government-run healthcare fails patients, Hollywood’s push for film tax credits, the CLARITY Act and open banking, and Hasan Piker gets torched by a comedian.

In this episode:

Abdul El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood: El-Sayed told Meet the Press that no one in his family has Muslim Brotherhood ties. The Mike Rogers campaign responded with posts it says came from his sister. We break down El-Sayed’s answer, and why his campaign didn’t deny the posts.

Kennedy vs. El-Sayed: Sen. Kennedy’s “Bin Laden jersey” jab, and El-Sayed’s KKK “bed sheet” comeback.

Big government healthcare failure: El-Sayed’s Medicare for All plan promises free care with no premiums, copays or networks. We look at what single-payer actually delivers abroad: higher taxes, rationing, and specialist waits in Canada, France and the U.K. far longer than in the U.S.

Film tax credits in the lame duck: Hollywood jobs are moving overseas, and Congress, with Trump’s blessing, is scrambling to stop the production exodus. Is a federal film tax credit the fix?

The CLARITY Act and open banking: What the crypto market structure fight means for open banking and your financial data.

Hasan Piker cooked: A comedian calls out the Twitch streamer as a communist nepo baby.
