Sayed Talks Healthcare, Labor, Immigration, & Hip — Hop

Abdul El-Sayed joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on policy, politics, and the future of Michigan. Abdul opens by reflecting on his 2018 run for Governor and the lessons he took from that experience. He breaks down his support for Medicare For All, his approach to protecting the Great Lakes and keeping water affordable, and why he supports abolishing ICE rather than reforming it. He also talks about his pro-labor and pro-union background, how he would support unions if elected, and his views on the cannabis industry and the need for stronger guardrails. Abdul addresses why young people are leaving Michigan, what it will take to attract and retain talent, and shares his take on the Right to Repair Act and the problems caused by planned obsolescence. We close the conversation with a hip-hop segment, where Abdul shares his Mount Rushmore of hip-hop, what drew him to Eminem’s music, and some of his favorite songs, before wrapping with his closing thoughts.
