Speaker 1: Around.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.
Speaker 1: Who better than Ari Fleischer, former White House Press Secretary
Speaker 1: to talk about all of this, Ari, this is really
Speaker 1: really scary when you see this lsied guy and already
Speaker 1: the great philosopher Hassan Piker, who seems to be hanging
Speaker 1: around with all these people. He came out and said
Speaker 1: this is going to be part of a national trend
Speaker 1: that if you're not you're not with us, you're against us.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like he's laying down the gauntlet in
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: Oh I hope, So, I hope this is a national
Speaker 2: trend because I've got a feeling that Michigan is about
Speaker 2: to elect a Republican senator. I mean, you cannot have
Speaker 2: left somebody who was as radical as Sayid, And I
Speaker 2: want you to understand just how bad he is. Not
Speaker 2: only does he support people who say we that America
Speaker 2: deserves nine to eleven, this guy is a rest his
Speaker 2: allegiance to the Muslim brotherhood. In an op ed that
Speaker 2: he wrote, he called Israel bloodthirsty. He doesn't want illegals
Speaker 2: to be denied drivers' licenses. He argued for illegal people
Speaker 2: to come to America to get driver's licenses, and he
Speaker 2: criticized Oklahoma because they banned sharia law. At it all up,
Speaker 2: we have never had an Islamist candidate like this run
Speaker 2: for office and be this blunt about it in the
Speaker 2: United States of America. He doesn't fit and he's going
Speaker 2: to lose.
Speaker 1: You know, I agree, John, don't you? It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Who has the courage, Who has the courage in the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party to really take hold? And young scream.
Speaker 2: There's nobody other than the Senator Fedterman. You know, Senator
Speaker 2: Schumer just showed just how he has no courage, no backrade,
Speaker 2: and what he doesn't realize. And Hakim Jeffrey is the
Speaker 2: Democratic leader in the House. Also that the outside heaths
Speaker 2: of the world, the Mondamis of the world, the Aosc's
Speaker 2: of the world, are coming to burn their big tent.
Speaker 2: They have a socialist tent that they want to put
Speaker 2: up in place of this previous Democratic big tent. But
Speaker 2: Schumer and Jeffries are too blind to see what is
Speaker 2: coming to replace them. And that is exactly what the
Speaker 2: socialist movement is. And that's why that's why Elsayid was
Speaker 2: saying that this is the beginning of a national movement.
Speaker 2: That's why Piker is saying the same thing. There is
Speaker 2: a national movement underway, and it's up to good people,
Speaker 2: good independence, good Republicans. Some Democrats are willing to do so,
Speaker 2: to stand up, fight and defeat it.
Speaker 1: You know what I think of Ari when Chevalier, I
Speaker 1: believe one. That's the woman in New York when she
Speaker 1: won the primary and she's in a pretty safe, obviously
Speaker 1: blue district, and you look at at that party. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget. Hakeem Jeffries came up on the on the video.
Speaker 1: Remember he was speaking, and the whole crowd famously started
Speaker 1: chanting at him. You are next, your next, your next,
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you listen to l Sied, what
Speaker 1: I found really frightening with his sort of his rhetoric.
Speaker 1: He really was like even today, so nasty about Fetterman.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like, my first target is Fetterman, My
Speaker 1: next is Schumer, my next. He's got like this list
Speaker 1: of people that he wants to take out politically, you know,
Speaker 1: push them out of office for people that he thinks
Speaker 1: espouse his views. That's dangerous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you listen to his excess rhetoric and he says
Speaker 2: Israel is bloodthirsty. You know, somebody's blood thirsty, you need
Speaker 2: to stop them, right, and he to engagement. Violence should
Speaker 2: stop somebody who's blood thirsty. He's calling on Fetterman. He's
Speaker 2: basically saying he wants to take Fetterman's head off. Now,
Speaker 2: I would imagine he's talking rhetorically, but you know when
Speaker 2: I hear in islamis talk like that, it gives me pause.
Speaker 2: And the Muslim Brotherhood talks like that, it gives me pause.
Speaker 2: And so his language is really excessive in American politics.
Speaker 2: And this is why I said, just don't think he fits.
Speaker 2: He's going to have a very hard time. He barely
Speaker 2: won in Michigan after all those polls came out showing
Speaker 2: you at the commanding lead. The fact that the Democrat
Speaker 2: Party has split so deeply over him and his base
Speaker 2: support is basically Columbia University. That's about it. He won
Speaker 2: the campuses in Michigan, he won the upper educated areas,
Speaker 2: the younger people areas, but working class people, blacks, they
Speaker 2: all voted for the opposition of the Democrat primary prime
Speaker 2: pick up place for Republicans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is why it's interesting because right away Haley
Speaker 1: Stevens and Judge, you and I were talking about this
Speaker 1: even before the primary happened. She said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: support if he wins, I'm going to support him.
Speaker 3: So Partie Overcountry Right, Colonia Right.
Speaker 1: And she's been very pro Israel, decently pro Israel. She
Speaker 1: took money from APEX said I have no problem. I'm
Speaker 1: a supporter of Israel. But yet she's folding like a
Speaker 1: cheap suit.
Speaker 2: Ari Yep, No, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were
Speaker 2: addressing that today. Yeah, this is the issue about politics,
Speaker 2: of course, is people want their team to win, they
Speaker 2: want their team to get the majority, and I can
Speaker 2: respect that up to a point. But the difference here
Speaker 2: is when David Duke was going to become the Republican
Speaker 2: nominee in Louisiana to become governor years ago, a former
Speaker 2: head of the KKK Republicans abandoned him. They said we
Speaker 2: will never support you. They supported the democrat in's debt
Speaker 2: principal thing to do. There have got to be more
Speaker 2: Democrats of principle here who are willing to say absolutely no,
Speaker 2: I will never support abdu Lsie. He is too radical,
Speaker 2: he is too extreme, he is too anti Jewish, anti Israel,
Speaker 2: we will never support him.
Speaker 3: He's anti Western civilization.
Speaker 2: Democrat Party is not like that anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really By the way, did you guys see
Speaker 1: what Hassan Piker, who is now sort of like seems
Speaker 1: to be running the Democratic Party according to a lot
Speaker 1: of people. You know, he came out and he said that,
Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't dislike this kind. I'm here. I'm
Speaker 1: staying here because I love it. That's why I'm criticizing it,
Speaker 1: because everyone's playing the same thing. You just said, Judge
Speaker 1: over and over again. America deserved nine to eleven. Also
Speaker 1: defending the rapes on October So, I mean, he said
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst. He's trying to spin it
Speaker 1: like I just want to make the country better. It's
Speaker 1: not that he's trying.
Speaker 2: To back.
Speaker 3: It made a lot of people very angry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that interesting you guys the language now after this,
Speaker 1: because he knows now he's in general election mode. You know,
Speaker 1: he's trying to get l sil historic.
Speaker 3: He's trying to rewrite the historical record.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The problem is, as you guys know, it's all
Speaker 1: on tape. I mean it's over and over again where
Speaker 1: he's saying these things are right.
Speaker 2: Well, he's also enjoying his first of his fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: of fame, and all of a sudden because he's got
Speaker 2: a couple of wins now the people that he's endorsed
Speaker 2: have have won. He's seen himself as bigger than life.
Speaker 2: He seems kind of the way doctor Fauci saw himself
Speaker 2: is so famous. He sees himself as famous now inside
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party, I've got news for people like that.
Speaker 2: It's the lesson of Icarus. Your wings are going to
Speaker 2: get burnt the closer you get to the sun, especially
Speaker 2: when you have the radical views that he had, especially
Speaker 2: when you have two left wings. Let's fly closer to
Speaker 2: the sun. This is the risk when people like him
Speaker 2: get political roles, and then he encourages his candidates, in
Speaker 2: the case of Abdul said not to tone it down,
Speaker 2: to tone it up. And that does not fit the
Speaker 2: state of Michigan. So back to where we started this,
Speaker 2: can he win? What's the future of Michigan. I think
Speaker 2: the Democrats has just blown it. They blew it in
Speaker 2: Maine with Graham Platner, and they have probably blown it
Speaker 2: for the general and it looks like to make they've
Speaker 2: also blown it here in Michigan. This is probably the week.
Speaker 2: If we go back in November and look backwards, we're
Speaker 2: going to be able to say this is the week
Speaker 2: Republicans were able to keep the majority in the Senate.
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, that's why it is such a pivotal,
Speaker 1: pivotal seat. I mean, if they can flip because Gary
Speaker 1: Peters is rich, so it's an open seat, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a big I'm looking at it at cos I
Speaker 1: don't think there's ever a question that the Republicans would
Speaker 1: hold on to the majority in the Senate.
Speaker 3: We're working through that now. The question is do we
Speaker 3: hold a majority in the House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think are.
Speaker 2: Fifty to fifty? It's such a small narrow margin that
Speaker 2: Republicans have, and tough year for Republicans going into it
Speaker 2: because of history and the party in power always loses.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, because of redistrict and Republicans gave
Speaker 2: themselves a big boost because of Supreme Court ruling that,
Speaker 2: thank goodness, says you can't make districts based on race,
Speaker 2: Republicans got a boost. The other factor is because Republicans
Speaker 2: did not have a big wave in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: They had a small wave exactly. There just aren't as
Speaker 2: many marginal Republicans in office who typically do lose in
Speaker 2: the first term midterm like that, second term mid term
Speaker 2: like this, So it's a much smaller battlefield. And that's
Speaker 2: why I come out. It's a fifty to fifty race
Speaker 2: in the House. I think the edge went to Republicans
Speaker 2: this week in the Senate, but it's going to it's
Speaker 2: nobody knows. It's all going to be closed. It's up
Speaker 2: to the voters, not the pundits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely well, Ari, thank you so much. We always
Speaker 1: love having you on. Ari.
Speaker 3: It's really hapyd Democrats have to lose forty nine states
Speaker 3: to really get the message. This might be the time.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Maybe if a San Biker is the committee chair, it
Speaker 1: might happen. Allri, thank you, Thank you, guys, thank you,
