00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>TUXI about.

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 2>This is the seventy seven WABC Mini.

3
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Cast as we head into the midterm elections and Darlene

4
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Graham has her special election. We were talking earlier in

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>the hour about her and Ralph Norman. They are down

6
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to the runoff and that's going to be on Tuesday night.

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Ralph Norman endorsed by Nikki Haley. And then you've got

8
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Darlene Graham, who is endorsed by the Big One, by

9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>President Trump. And here is Darlene Graham speaking at the rally. She's,

10
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>of course the sister of the late Lindsay Graham, who

11
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely adored, and here she is talking about President

12
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Trump and her dedication to service.

13
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 3>See, you were one of his closest friends.

14
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>I hope you know that, and you will.

15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Forever be part of the Graham family.

16
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 3>And I met with the President a few weeks ago

17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 3>in the Oval Office, and I left that office.

18
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Knowing that he is going to work.

19
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 3>He works every single.

20
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Day, all day long, so hard for this country. It

21
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>is amazing, and.

22
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Mister President, I am proud to stand with you to

23
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 3>work hard for this country and to work for.

24
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 4>This great state of South Carolina.

25
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I think every single day and of course there are

26
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>some questions after the debate, a lot of people talking

27
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>about this fumble from Darlene Graham when she was asked

28
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>about Taiwan and foreign policy. Take a listen, this is

29
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>what happened during the debate.

30
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 4>Senator, Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security

31
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 4>issues for the United States? If so?

32
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 5>What?

33
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?

34
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 4>Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues

35
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 4>for the United States? And if so, why or how?

36
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not on

37
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 3>national security that I'm not that informed on national security.

38
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 3>So I do support the military. My brother was in

39
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>the Air Force for thirty three years, so I will

40
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 3>do everything I can to support the military. My dad

41
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 3>was in the Army. I'm not a polished politician up here.

42
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 3>National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise.

43
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 3>But I do support the military.

44
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 4>Carson, I will give you a chance to respond.

45
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people said, WHOA, she didn't even kind

46
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of give a half answer there, just said that's not

47
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>my area. Well, of course in the Senate, Yeah, you

48
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>got to focus obviously on domestic issues. Be foreign policy

49
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>is a big issue. It certainly was a big issue

50
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>for her brother. And today on the tarmac, President Trump

51
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>try to clean that up for Darling Graham. Take a listen.

52
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>That's national security.

53
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 3>It's not her thing exactly.

54
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>No.

55
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 5>Oh, she was is being honest. She's very smart and

56
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 5>she was being honest. I mean, she's into the price

57
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 5>of groceries, the price of food, the price of beef,

58
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 5>and it's not it hasn't been her thing. But she's

59
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 5>surrounded by very good people. And she said that she's

60
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 5>totally for the military. I mean she's going to do

61
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 5>what the military wants and really what the president wants.

62
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 5>She understands it. National security is by thing and she

63
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 5>is a horrific woman who answered. I watched that. I

64
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 5>thought it was a very honest answer.

65
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Actually, so will that honest answer be a plus or

66
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>a minus for Darlene Graham
