Speaker 1: Tuxy about. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini Cast.
Speaker 1: It is a Friday night, but the Senate is still
Speaker 1: meeting and at this point there's expected to be a
Speaker 1: vote at any moment to secure the confirmation of Todd
Speaker 1: Blanche for Attorney General of the United States. Of course,
Speaker 1: President Trump's longtime ally, longtime personal attorney. He's been in
Speaker 1: the acting position and President Trump has been pushing for
Speaker 1: him to be the attorney general, which he should get
Speaker 1: and he certainly qualified, certainly somebody that President Trump trusts.
Speaker 1: And also Bill Cassidy, who was one of the senators
Speaker 1: Republican from Louisiana earlier had said no, he wasn't sure
Speaker 1: if he was going to confirm him. Well, today he
Speaker 1: did a very dramatic speech on the flora the Senate
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, he will confirm him, that he will
Speaker 1: vote for mister Blanche said, and obviously that probably is
Speaker 1: enough to secure enough votes. It will be narrow. It
Speaker 1: might be fifty to forty nine or something like that.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell isn't in, remember he's still not feeling well.
Speaker 1: You also still have JD. Vans, the Vice President. If
Speaker 1: you need another vote to break the tie. But we'll
Speaker 1: see because they are staying late tonight on a Friday
Speaker 1: night at ten o'clock. They're staying late because they want
Speaker 1: to get it done. They finish securing a lot of
Speaker 1: the other nominations earlier in confirmations, and they also get this,
Speaker 1: this is what I tell everybody, I'm in the wrong business,
Speaker 1: because they're about to go on a five week break,
Speaker 1: a five week recess, and that's just one of the
Speaker 1: recesses that they have throughout the year. It's the granted
Speaker 1: they work, they go back to their home districts. A
Speaker 1: lot of them are campaigning in their home districts, so
Speaker 1: it's not like they're sitting around having bond bonds and
Speaker 1: knitting sweaters. But some of them might be going on
Speaker 1: some trips, vacations overseas, some of these junkets. But they
Speaker 1: will have a five week break, a five week quote recess,
Speaker 1: and again a lot of them will be busy with
Speaker 1: elections and campaigns and all that other stuff and business
Speaker 1: of the district too, for sure, But in the meantime,
Speaker 1: they're trying to get the business done because once they break,
Speaker 1: they break. So the deal is they're probably going to
Speaker 1: stay late they will probably maybe do the vote, maybe
Speaker 1: even in the next hour or so, and as soon
Speaker 1: as that news comes in, we'll make sure that we
Speaker 1: bring it to you here on the Rita Cosby Show. Meantime,
Speaker 1: President Trump did an interview It was interesting with punch
Speaker 1: Bowl News, and in the interview he was asked about
Speaker 1: what everybody's talking about. Abdul l sayed, this is the
Speaker 1: Democratic candidate, the one who won the primary this week,
Speaker 1: the radical. By the way, he is a Rhodes scholars,
Speaker 1: so he's a smart rat, but a scary radical. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: an Abdula El sayed came out swinging this week and
Speaker 1: was saying, Oh, anybody who's against me, I'm going to
Speaker 1: go after them. He had choice words for Fetterman, He
Speaker 1: had choice words for Chuck Schumer, even though Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: endorsed him. And tonight, by the way, in Michigan, there's
Speaker 1: quote a unity event because the Democrats are folding like
Speaker 1: cheap suits. Overall, we heard in the last few hours
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, the former VP who's probably gonna run again
Speaker 1: for president, endorsing. El sayed, at this event in Michigan,
Speaker 1: you got Buddhajeg who is planning. It looks like maybe
Speaker 1: running for president. He's endorsing him, and then you got
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. They are all folding like cheap suits. It's
Speaker 1: like okay, they want to like, you know, beat each
Speaker 1: other to the punch to get that endorsement of this
Speaker 1: radical DSA guy lsied. So it shows that essentially the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, especially those at the top and those who
Speaker 1: want to run for the top position, they are going
Speaker 1: further and further left, and that is a very dangerous situation,
Speaker 1: not just for the party but for the United States.
Speaker 1: Everybody
