Everyone's talking about weight loss injections because the results can be so dramatic, too dramatic if you've seen some of these actresses. But in any event, if you moderate it, it can look great on you. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. But what if you want to lose some weight but you're not interested in potentially painful weekly injections, you're going to get bruised up, you don't want to stick yourself with a needle for weight loss, feels weird, especially when you hear about some of those intention side effects.

Three of the Democrat Party's most prominent progressives taking to the Sunday shows yesterday, as the party's left wing looks to build on Abdul El-Sayed's Democratic Senate primary victory in Michigan. El-Sayed now moving into a general election against Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers with questions over his far-left allies already taking center stage. El-Sayed yesterday on NBC sounding eager to bring former President Barack Obama onto the campaign trail, following a recent conversation between the two men.
**SPEAKER_5** (3:23)
Is he going to campaign with you, Dr. El-Sayed?
**Abdul El-Sayed** (3:26)
Look, I really hope so. And it was a really good conversation about what we need to do to be able to win. And obviously this is somebody who knows a lot about winning Michigan.
**Megyn Kelly** (3:34)
That enthusiasm proving harder to find when El-Sayed was asked about another figure who helped promote his primary campaign, radical far left streamer, Hasan Piker. Piker drawing repeated criticism over years of inflammatory commentary.
**Hasan Piker** (3:49)
America deserved 9-11, dude. Fuck it. I'm saying it. I don't support the state of Israel. And I don't support the state of the United States of America. Yeah, kill those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets, let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist bloods, dude.
**Megyn Kelly** (4:07)
El-Sayed previously appearing alongside Piker during the primary, but declining yesterday to say whether he would campaign with the streamer again this fall.
**SPEAKER_5** (4:16)
Do you plan to continue to campaign with Hasan Piker in the general election campaign?
**Abdul El-Sayed** (4:22)
Look, I'm less concerned now with who I'm campaigning with, a lot more concerned about who I'm campaigning to. We've got a lot of work to do to continue to build the coalition that's going to be Mike Rogers. Would you welcome him, though, on the campaign trail? Like I said, I'm a lot more focused on who I'm campaigning to. So I think we have this notion sometimes on shows like this that we cannot or should not talk to certain groups of people. And I will tell you that the three million people who listen to Hasan are people I want to make sure understand that there's a pathway into our politics.
