Abdul El-Sayed’s Deceptive Shift on ‘Medicare for All’

Episode length: 29m

Join Charlie Cooke and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on Argentinian President Javier Milei ripping the United Nations for its radical policies and for coddling the evil nations of the world, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed lying about his position on government-run health care, Hasan Piker wanting a communist China-style cultural revolution, and Kamala Harris going back on the campaign trail with the same incoherent rhetoric.

First, they cheer President Milei for calling the United Nations a "useless organization" maintained by "fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats." He also blasted the UN for protecting "bloodthirsty dictatorships" and much more. Charlie explains why Milei is right and why the UN is irretrievably flawed.

Next, they highlight Abdul El-Sayed suddenly saying he is fine if people want to keep their private health insurance after months of saying he wants "Medicare for All" specifically because it will end private coverage. But Charlie also points out why our health care system is doomed even if El-Sayed is telling the truth now.

Then, they react to that "Twitch streamer from California" Hasan Piker ranting about Democrats by saying he wants to put some of them in prison and institute a cultural revolution. Charlle and Greg discuss how radical Piker is but also how Piker is evidence of just how extreme mainstream Democrats have become.

Finally, they get a kick out of Kamala Harris and her latest word salad as she hits the campaign trail for El-Sayed. Charlie offers some insights into the left's warped thinking and how that contributes to the nonsense we routinely get from Harris.

Charlie Cooke, Senior Editor of National Review Online and host of the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, is in for Jim today.
