1
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Tuxy about. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini Cast.

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>It is a Friday night, but the Senate is still

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>meeting and at this point there's expected to be a

4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>vote at any moment to secure the confirmation of Todd

5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Blanche for Attorney General of the United States. Of course,

6
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 1>President Trump's longtime ally, longtime personal attorney. He's been in

7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the acting position and President Trump has been pushing for

8
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>him to be the attorney general, which he should get

9
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 1>and he certainly qualified, certainly somebody that President Trump trusts.

10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And also Bill Cassidy, who was one of the senators

11
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Republican from Louisiana earlier had said no, he wasn't sure

12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 1>if he was going to confirm him. Well, today he

13
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>did a very dramatic speech on the flora the Senate

14
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and said, yeah, he will confirm him, that he will

15
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>vote for mister Blanche said, and obviously that probably is

16
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 1>enough to secure enough votes. It will be narrow. It

17
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 1>might be fifty to forty nine or something like that.

18
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell isn't in, remember he's still not feeling well.

19
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You also still have JD. Vans, the Vice President. If

20
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you need another vote to break the tie. But we'll

21
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>see because they are staying late tonight on a Friday

22
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>night at ten o'clock. They're staying late because they want

23
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to get it done. They finish securing a lot of

24
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the other nominations earlier in confirmations, and they also get this,

25
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>this is what I tell everybody, I'm in the wrong business,

26
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>because they're about to go on a five week break,

27
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a five week recess, and that's just one of the

28
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 1>recesses that they have throughout the year. It's the granted

29
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>they work, they go back to their home districts. A

30
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of them are campaigning in their home districts, so

31
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not like they're sitting around having bond bonds and

32
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>knitting sweaters. But some of them might be going on

33
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>some trips, vacations overseas, some of these junkets. But they

34
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>will have a five week break, a five week quote recess,

35
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and again a lot of them will be busy with

36
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>elections and campaigns and all that other stuff and business

37
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>of the district too, for sure, But in the meantime,

38
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get the business done because once they break,

39
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>they break. So the deal is they're probably going to

40
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>stay late they will probably maybe do the vote, maybe

41
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>even in the next hour or so, and as soon

42
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>as that news comes in, we'll make sure that we

43
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>bring it to you here on the Rita Cosby Show. Meantime,

44
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>President Trump did an interview It was interesting with punch

45
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Bowl News, and in the interview he was asked about

46
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>what everybody's talking about. Abdul l sayed, this is the

47
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Democratic candidate, the one who won the primary this week,

48
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>the radical. By the way, he is a Rhodes scholars,

49
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>so he's a smart rat, but a scary radical. Nonetheless,

50
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>an Abdula El sayed came out swinging this week and

51
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 1>was saying, Oh, anybody who's against me, I'm going to

52
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 1>go after them. He had choice words for Fetterman, He

53
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>had choice words for Chuck Schumer, even though Chuck Schumer

54
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 1>endorsed him. And tonight, by the way, in Michigan, there's

55
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>quote a unity event because the Democrats are folding like

56
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 1>cheap suits. Overall, we heard in the last few hours

57
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris, the former VP who's probably gonna run again

58
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 1>for president, endorsing. El sayed, at this event in Michigan,

59
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you got Buddhajeg who is planning. It looks like maybe

60
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>running for president. He's endorsing him, and then you got

61
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom. They are all folding like cheap suits. It's

62
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>like okay, they want to like, you know, beat each

63
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>other to the punch to get that endorsement of this

64
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>radical DSA guy lsied. So it shows that essentially the

65
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party, especially those at the top and those who

66
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>want to run for the top position, they are going

67
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>further and further left, and that is a very dangerous situation,

68
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>not just for the party but for the United States.

69
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Everybody
