Speaker 1: New York TUXI.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.
Speaker 1: Feisty, fearless and fair. She's an Emmy winning journalist from
Speaker 1: our White House to war zones, telling all sides.
Speaker 2: Of the story. This is the Rita Cosby Show.
Speaker 1: Me Delained, not even come between wave stock.
Speaker 2: I tell you how to.
Speaker 1: Play breaking news on the Rita Cosby Show. Everybody still
Speaker 1: reacting to abdul Lsied and his victory in Michigan in
Speaker 1: the primaries. Everybody wondering what is the impact on the
Speaker 1: general election. Well, already there are a variety of groups
Speaker 1: that are coming out, and in fact, there's a Democrat
Speaker 1: from Mike Rogers group that's coming out because there are
Speaker 1: some Democrats that have a conscience and are not folding
Speaker 1: like cheap suits and are saying that they will support
Speaker 1: Mike Rogers because he's the more common sense And especially
Speaker 1: if you look at all the comments that abdul Lsied
Speaker 1: said and now they're really looking at him under the microscope.
Speaker 1: They're going back and they're seeing, Okay, this is what
Speaker 1: he said on this issue. This is what he said
Speaker 1: on this issue. And the more you hear about this guy,
Speaker 1: the more troubling. It becomes and it ain't pretty when
Speaker 1: you look at the background, and some of the visceral
Speaker 1: comments that he has made that I believe, in many
Speaker 1: ways in my mind are anti American. I mean, some
Speaker 1: of his comments are just so horrific and so darn destructive,
Speaker 1: I think, to America. And it's no surprise to me
Speaker 1: that he's hanging out with this on Piker, who, by
Speaker 1: the way, is now trying to rewrite history along with
Speaker 1: El Sayed, Because Hassan Piker is now coming out today
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, I really do love America. That
Speaker 1: maybe I'm criticizing America because I love America. What a
Speaker 1: bunch of hogwash? Is there anybody out there that actually
Speaker 1: thinks that the reason he's saying America deserved nine to
Speaker 1: eleven is because he's what America first? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a new one. You know, some people in America maybe
Speaker 1: are naive, but we're not totally stupid, and we're not blind,
Speaker 1: and we're not deaf and dumb. I mean, this guy,
Speaker 1: we see him over and over and over again making
Speaker 1: these horrific comments, and he wants us all to sort
Speaker 1: of forget about it and move on and then in
Speaker 1: the same breath he also comes out and has this
Speaker 1: comment like you gotta all get on board, like all
Speaker 1: of you guys should be on board along with Abdul
Speaker 1: el sayed, my buddy, and already Hassan Piker is looking
Speaker 1: to next week. And that's why this is so troubling, guys,
Speaker 1: because of course New York, you could say, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: New York, it's a blue state. Then now it's in Michigan,
Speaker 1: you go, whoa Okay, Midwest purple state, not a blue
Speaker 1: or red state, really a purple state. President Trump won
Speaker 1: it twice, but it really is a purple state. And
Speaker 1: Gary Peters is in that seat, that's a Democrat. And
Speaker 1: then you move on and you go, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: they're looking in Wisconsin. And right now the person who's
Speaker 1: supposed to win next Tuesday in Wisconsin is a woman
Speaker 1: named Francesca Hang and she's crazy too. Some new comments
Speaker 1: came out about her a little bit ago, and I
Speaker 1: had to share them with you guys where they said
Speaker 1: eighty six forty seven sounds like she's been hanging out
Speaker 1: with James Comy. So there are a lot of questions
Speaker 1: tonight about Abdul Lsied and what his plans are for America.
Speaker 1: And I had to play this clip for you. This
Speaker 1: is Ari Fleischer. We talked with him earlier on Katz
Speaker 1: and Cosby, and Ari Fleischer's been around a long time,
Speaker 1: former White House Press secretary under George W. Bush. I think,
Speaker 1: one of the best press secretaries out there. And he
Speaker 1: said he has never seen a candidate like Abdul. I'll
Speaker 1: say yet, He's seen a lot of crazy in his day.
Speaker 1: This is crazy and darn right dangerous. Take a listen.
Speaker 2: I hope this is a national trend because I've got
Speaker 2: a feeling that Michigan is about to elect a Republican senator.
Speaker 2: I mean, you cannot have left somebody who was as
Speaker 2: radical as Sayid, and I want you to understand just
Speaker 2: how bad he is. Not only does he support people
Speaker 2: who say that America deserves nine to eleven, this guy
Speaker 2: has expressed his allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood. In an
Speaker 2: op ed that he wrote, he called Israel bloodthirsty. He
Speaker 2: doesn't want illegals to be denied drivers' licenses. He argued
Speaker 2: for ill people to come to America to get driver's licenses,
Speaker 2: and he criticized Oklahoma because they ban sharia law at
Speaker 2: it all up. We have never had an Islamist candidate
Speaker 2: like this run for office and be this blunt about
Speaker 2: it in the United States of America. He doesn't fit
Speaker 2: and he's going to lose.
Speaker 1: And I agree, he doesn't fit, and I hope he's
Speaker 1: going to lose. Ari Fleischer.
Speaker 2: One of the.
Speaker 1: Things that I worry about, guys, is there is a
Speaker 1: lot of energy around these candidates, these Democratic Socialists of
Speaker 1: America candidates. There's a lot of enthusiasm. It is not
Speaker 1: a presidential election year. President Trump is not on the ticket,
Speaker 1: and he drives people to go to the polls because
Speaker 1: people are passionate about him, some of them obviously anti Trump,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of people that love President Trump
Speaker 1: across this country and he drives them out and droves
Speaker 1: it's called voter enthusiasm. And sometimes on off year elections,
Speaker 1: which is what this is, it's a mid term election,
Speaker 1: so it's not with President Trump on the top of
Speaker 1: the ticket, and often it's a lower turnout. And the
Speaker 1: one thing that troubles me, I looked at Hassan Piker's numbers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he just inked it out. He did just squeak it
Speaker 1: out there is no doubt about it. Only fourteen thousand
Speaker 1: points votes between him and Haley Stevens, the more moderate.
Speaker 1: That's not a lot, but overall they had five hundred
Speaker 1: thousand more voters than they did on an election like
Speaker 1: this the last go round. Different candidates, but the bottom
Speaker 1: line is voters are galvanized, at least the ones in
Speaker 1: Michigan were
