Why is the Democratic establishment terrified of Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan? What does a senator funded by individual donors do differently than one answering to lobbyists? How will a Muslim candidate survive the attacks awaiting him in the Senate? When you have $2.3M in foreign PAC money flooding a primary, can real grassroots politics still win? And what happens to progressive policy when you're facing both parties in Congress?Join us for a conversation with Michigan's most controversial senatorial candidate. We break down why James Carville and Democratic insiders are actively working to keep him out. Abdul walks us through his entire platform: removing lobbyists, Medicare for All in Michigan, and actually representing working people instead of corporate interests. We dive into his controversial decision to campaign with Hasan Piker, the viral moment he called out Haley Stevens' funding on stage, what it means to be the first Muslim Senator in American history, and the unfiltered answer every voter needs to hear about how to actually win in a rigged system.This isn't polished politics. This is what happens when a candidate refuses to play the game.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThe Debt Clinic: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Why Are the Democrats Afraid of You Winning?03:22 Difference Between Senator for the People vs Senator for AIPAC?10:46 Ad12:17 How Do You Get the Republican and Independent Vote?16:03 Why Do You Say Foreign Government and Not Israel Anymore?21:58 How Will You Deal with the Current Administration?24:40 Can You Get Medicaid for All, Remove Lobbyists, and Tax Reform?34:39 Ad35:08 How Will Stand Up Against Anti-Islam Rhetoric?38:04 Why Did You Campaign with Hasan Piker?42:36 Member Questions46:33 Final Thoughts48:27 Outro#AbdulElSayed #MichiganSenate #DemocraticPrimary #LobbyistsOut #ForThePeopleByThePeopleListen on All Audio Platforms: https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyjFollow The Ansari PodcastInstagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

Memes featuring an AI-generated Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claim he's effectively taking a 47 per cent stake in businesses. But what's the reality of the government's budget tax changes? Today, we speak with a small business owner who's concerned about the economic realities of doing business in Australia. We also speak with an economist about the implications of the changes for how Australians build wealth. Featured: Sarcha Thurston, Owner of Yogahub Susan Stone, Credit Union SA Chair of Economics at Adelaide University

It was a tough week for the government after entrepreneurs and business owners took to social media to vent their outrage over proposed capital gains tax changes.

The 2026 federal budget includes an overhaul of the rules for negative gearing and the capital gains tax in a bid, according to the Treasurer, to address the housing affordability crisis. To get some insights into how the reform will affect the housing market, SBS Hebrew spoke to Rodney Morley, a real estate expert.

In an already difficult post-budget week, Labor isn't being helped by some of its "friends". But it has won an important endorsement from one powerful voice.

Labor has gone after negative gearing, capital gains tax and trusts while the Coalition has promised to end bracket creep by indexing tax thresholds. 

The Coalition wants to limit net overseas migration to the number of new homes built each year. Reversing capital gains tax changes, scrapping negative gearing reforms, a $5 billion housing infrastructure fund and indexing income tax to inflation are among other key proposals in Coalition's first budget reply. But CDU's Associate Professor Rakesh Gupta tells SBS Hindi that while some of the proposals sound powerful politically, the real economic impact will be slow, partial, and in some cases unlikely.

This week Labor touched the third rail of Australian politics: wealth and tax. Can it survive the backlash?
