<v Speaker 2>This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>our White House to war zones, telling all sides.

5
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Of the story. This is the Rita Cosby Show.

6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Me Delained, not even come between wave stock.

7
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I tell you how to.

8
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Play breaking news on the Rita Cosby Show. Everybody still

9
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 1>reacting to abdul Lsied and his victory in Michigan in

10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the primaries. Everybody wondering what is the impact on the

11
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>general election. Well, already there are a variety of groups

12
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 1>that are coming out, and in fact, there's a Democrat

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>from Mike Rogers group that's coming out because there are

14
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 1>some Democrats that have a conscience and are not folding

15
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like cheap suits and are saying that they will support

16
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Mike Rogers because he's the more common sense And especially

17
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 1>if you look at all the comments that abdul Lsied

18
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>said and now they're really looking at him under the microscope.

19
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 1>They're going back and they're seeing, Okay, this is what

20
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>he said on this issue. This is what he said

21
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>on this issue. And the more you hear about this guy,

22
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the more troubling. It becomes and it ain't pretty when

23
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>you look at the background, and some of the visceral

24
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>comments that he has made that I believe, in many

25
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>ways in my mind are anti American. I mean, some

26
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of his comments are just so horrific and so darn destructive,

27
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>I think, to America. And it's no surprise to me

28
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>that he's hanging out with this on Piker, who, by

29
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 1>the way, is now trying to rewrite history along with

30
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>El Sayed, Because Hassan Piker is now coming out today

31
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and saying, you know, I really do love America. That

32
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm criticizing America because I love America. What a

33
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>bunch of hogwash? Is there anybody out there that actually

34
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>thinks that the reason he's saying America deserved nine to

35
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>eleven is because he's what America first? I mean, that's

36
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a new one. You know, some people in America maybe

37
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>are naive, but we're not totally stupid, and we're not blind,

38
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and we're not deaf and dumb. I mean, this guy,

39
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we see him over and over and over again making

40
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>these horrific comments, and he wants us all to sort

41
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of forget about it and move on and then in

42
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>the same breath he also comes out and has this

43
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>comment like you gotta all get on board, like all

44
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>of you guys should be on board along with Abdul

45
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>el sayed, my buddy, and already Hassan Piker is looking

46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>to next week. And that's why this is so troubling, guys,

47
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 1>because of course New York, you could say, Okay, it's

48
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>New York, it's a blue state. Then now it's in Michigan,

49
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you go, whoa Okay, Midwest purple state, not a blue

50
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>or red state, really a purple state. President Trump won

51
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>it twice, but it really is a purple state. And

52
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Gary Peters is in that seat, that's a Democrat. And

53
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>then you move on and you go, wait a minute,

54
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>they're looking in Wisconsin. And right now the person who's

55
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>supposed to win next Tuesday in Wisconsin is a woman

56
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 1>named Francesca Hang and she's crazy too. Some new comments

57
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>came out about her a little bit ago, and I

58
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>had to share them with you guys where they said

59
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>eighty six forty seven sounds like she's been hanging out

60
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>with James Comy. So there are a lot of questions

61
00:03:54.719 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>tonight about Abdul Lsied and what his plans are for America.

62
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And I had to play this clip for you. This

63
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>is Ari Fleischer. We talked with him earlier on Katz

64
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>and Cosby, and Ari Fleischer's been around a long time,

65
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>former White House Press secretary under George W. Bush. I think,

66
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 1>one of the best press secretaries out there. And he

67
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>said he has never seen a candidate like Abdul. I'll

68
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>say yet, He's seen a lot of crazy in his day.

69
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>This is crazy and darn right dangerous. Take a listen.

70
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I hope this is a national trend because I've got

71
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>a feeling that Michigan is about to elect a Republican senator.

72
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you cannot have left somebody who was as

73
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>radical as Sayid, and I want you to understand just

74
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 2>how bad he is. Not only does he support people

75
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>who say that America deserves nine to eleven, this guy

76
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 2>has expressed his allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood. In an

77
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>op ed that he wrote, he called Israel bloodthirsty. He

78
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want illegals to be denied drivers' licenses. He argued

79
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>for ill people to come to America to get driver's licenses,

80
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>and he criticized Oklahoma because they ban sharia law at

81
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>it all up. We have never had an Islamist candidate

82
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>like this run for office and be this blunt about

83
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>it in the United States of America. He doesn't fit

84
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>and he's going to lose.

85
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 1>And I agree, he doesn't fit, and I hope he's

86
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>going to lose. Ari Fleischer.

87
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>One of the.

88
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Things that I worry about, guys, is there is a

89
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy around these candidates, these Democratic Socialists of

90
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>America candidates. There's a lot of enthusiasm. It is not

91
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a presidential election year. President Trump is not on the ticket,

92
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and he drives people to go to the polls because

93
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>people are passionate about him, some of them obviously anti Trump,

94
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot of people that love President Trump

95
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>across this country and he drives them out and droves

96
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>it's called voter enthusiasm. And sometimes on off year elections,

97
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>which is what this is, it's a mid term election,

98
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>so it's not with President Trump on the top of

99
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the ticket, and often it's a lower turnout. And the

100
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>one thing that troubles me, I looked at Hassan Piker's numbers. Yeah,

101
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he just inked it out. He did just squeak it

102
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>out there is no doubt about it. Only fourteen thousand

103
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>points votes between him and Haley Stevens, the more moderate.

104
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not a lot, but overall they had five hundred

105
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 1>thousand more voters than they did on an election like

106
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 1>this the last go round. Different candidates, but the bottom

107
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>line is voters are galvanized, at least the ones in

108
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Michigan were
