I&#8217;m wondering how you are going to manage that? Karoline Leavitt left because she wanted to spend more time with her family, and also, did you give any advice on how to handle this job and the people in this room?&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><strong>ZACHARIA: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;Well, first of all, I want to give my husband an amazing shout out.

She gave me great and wonderful feedback on how to balance. I think this job is not one you necessarily balance, and I would love to share that in my career I stayed home with my kids from 2014 to 2020, and in the process of having them, and then when I started working again, I was able to integrate them into my life.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>She praised President Trump for being &#8220;the most family-friendly president&#8221; the United States has ever had. Zacharia pointed out that Trump knew she had four children and understood how demanding the press secretary role would be, yet still trusted her to take on the responsibility.</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;So I intend to, to the extent possible, include my family, include my kids in my work.

who both supported Rep. Haley Stevens in the Senate primary.</p><p>The first group was Black voters from Wayne County, and the second was Jewish Democrats from Oakland County.</p><p>Both groups delivered the exact same message to Abdul El-Sayed &#8212; They are NOT sold on him.</p><p>Just for context, Jewish voters make up roughly 1.5&#8211;2% of Michigan&#8217;s electorate, while Black voters account for around 12% of the state&#8217;s voters.</p><p>Historically, Democrats have rarely ended up winning in Michigan without a strong statewide Black voter turnout.</p><p>Without both of these groups supporting his campaign, El-Sayed could be in MAJOR trouble in November.</p><p>MS NOW perfectly captured two moments that show exactly what Democrats are dealing with in Michigan. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.overtonnews.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><strong>Overton covers the stories and angles of the news ignored by the media.

They outwardly feel as though their votes are being taken for granted. The same thing could be said about any Democrat race across the United States. The DNC automatically assumes that Black voters will vote Democrat, regardless of the candidate. </p><blockquote><p><strong>VOTER 1: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s some missed opportunities for him to help us know who he is, help us understand him. We don&#8217;t know him.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><strong>VOTER 2: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s taking advantage that we as Black people are Democratic, and he thinks we&#8217;re going to vote for him anyway. And I&#8217;m like, no, sir! I&#8217;m going to put uncommitted down on that little circle and move on.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to Congress to represent me, I need you to talk about what&#8217;s going on in this community.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>That&#8217;s the bottom line.</p><p>El-Sayed is banking on the Black vote in Michigan, but from what these voters are saying on the ground, that&#8217;s far from guaranteed.</p><p>But El-Sayed performed terribly with Black voters in Detroit during the Democratic primary, receiving just 31% of the vote against Haley Stevens.</p><p>Hence why they&#8217;re bringing in former President Barack Obama to stump for him.</p><p>They must see some internal polling that does not look good for El-Sayed. </p><p>When MS NOW asked a third Black voter what would take him &#8220;over the finish line&#8221; to vote for El-Sayed, his answer was even more troubling for the El-Sayed campaign.</p><blockquote><p><strong>VOTER 3: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t what I&#8217;m going to do. Honestly&#8230;&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>Pressing again, MS NOW asked this voter what was holding him back from voting for for El-Sayed. </p><blockquote><p><strong>VOTER 3: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;Not knowing enough about him.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>At the end of the day it comes down to a trust issue, and for the Black community in Michigan, voting for El-Sayed could be a bridge too far. </p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;64c7d5a8-07f0-4e7b-81b8-0b6e93ddb79e&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.overtonnews.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.overtonnews.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>The block of Jewish Democrat voters also had similar concerns about voting for El-Sayed. </p><p>At one point, a Jewish, lifelong Democrat from Oakland County, Michigan admitted on MS NOW that she&#8217;s likely going to vote for Republican Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed.</p><p>You just know MS NOW hated airing this moment. It was an incredible display of the consequences of electing radical Democrat candidates. Eventually, voters will simply bow out and cross party lines. </p><blockquote><p><strong>VOTER: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;My daughter goes to University of Detroit Mercy. She&#8217;s in her second year of law school, and she has to hide being Jewish.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;And it&#8217;s a hard thing to say when October 7th came. Horrible for her. Lots of tears...&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;I may go to Mike Rogers. Sorry, guys.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>It was a pretty remarkable admission from a lifelong Democrat.</p><p>Just imagine how many more stories like this are going to come out as November gets closer.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;d1f9f639-be0f-48c3-b70b-7c0848ff0b57&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.overtonnews.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><strong>If you enjoyed this article and want to support the growth of the Overton network, the most powerful thing you can do is you can do is sign up <a href="https://www.overtonnews.com/subscribe">become a paid subscriber</a>!</strong></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><h3><strong>Your paid subscription goes further than you think.

to his show, he called him out for his constant flip-flopping and attempts to appease the socialist wing of his own party.</p><blockquote><p><strong>KERNEN: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;Let&#8217;s bring in Congressman Ro Khanna of California, representing the heart of Silicon Valley, he&#8217;s a ranking member of the China Select Committee.&#8221;</strong></em><strong> </strong></p></blockquote><p>Kernen even told Khanna he would no longer be his wingman if he planned to run in 2028.</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;ve talked about a Ro/Joe or a Joe/Ro ticket. Lately, I&#8217;ve looked &#8212; I still love you, but I&#8217;ve looked at some of your comments and I wonder &#8212; I hardly knew this man, apparently.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>Khanna tried to laugh it off. </p><blockquote><p><strong>KHANNA: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;Oh, come on, Joe!&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>Kernen pressed him about his ties to the socialists right out of the gate. </p><p>No one else has held Khanna&#8217;s feet to the flames over this, but Kernen did an incredible job here.</p><blockquote><p><strong>KERNEN: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;No, before we get started, I&#8217;m just wondering, are you this reasonable capitalist that represents Silicon Valley and a friend of technology?&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Or are you some DSA spouting nut job that hangs out with Hasan Piker and backs the guy in Michigan and in Maine?&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><div class="pullquote"><p><em><strong>&#8220;Who are you at this point, Ro?!&#8221;</strong></em></p></div><p>Khanna quickly tried to change the subject by talking about his book, but Kernen kept hammering him.</p><blockquote><p><strong>KERNEN: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;What happened to the Democratic Party?&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>Khanna refused to answer Kernen&#8217;s question directly.</p><blockquote><p><strong>KHANNA: </strong><em><strong>&#8220;The Democratic Party understands that the economy is working for my district, right? It&#8217;s one third of the nation&#8217;s wealth is in my district or the 50 miles surrounding it. And it&#8217;s not working for the people I grew up with. In Pennsylvania.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>It was a great moment because it showed how Kernen is quickly becoming one of the most sane voices in all of mainstream news. He&#8217;s having the tough conversations that no one else in media is willing to have.</p><p>You could tell Ro Khanna was really hoping this was going to be a friendly segment on Squawk Box this morning &#8212; it was not.</p><p>Things only got worse for Khanna from there, once he was pressed on his specific policies. </p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;d479b3dc-fdc4-47a6-bfa1-1078ecdf49b6&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.overtonnews.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Overton covers the stories and angles of the news ignored by the media.

moments that stood out above all of the rest. </p><p>They came from completely different conversations, but both had the same basic theme&#8230;Maher refusing to go along with something he thought was ridiculous, even when the person making the argument was coming from his own side of the political aisle.</p><p>His guests on the panel were Jessica Tarlov, the leftist from Fox News, and Christopher Rufo, the center-right conservative of the Manhattan Institute. </p><p>The first instance happened during a conversation with Tarlov, when Maher was genuinely stunned after she told him that Democrats are &#8220;less crazy&#8221; now on social issues.</p><p>The second came when Maher weighed in on the recent Macklemore controversy and asked why musicians feel the need to turn concerts into political rallies in the first place.</p><p>Both moments were perfect examples of Maher&#8217;s willingness to call out the absurdity, regardless of where it&#8217;s coming from. </p><div

We are the cultural force, we are ascendant. The bad guys are scattered, confused and afraid.
