Speaker 1: New Yorker Tuxi.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini.
Speaker 3: Cast Feisty, fearless and fair. She's an Emmy winning journalist
Speaker 3: from a white house to war zones, telling all sides
Speaker 3: of the story. This is The Rita Cosby Show, Jersey
Speaker 3: Boddam and Sweet the Faking News.
Speaker 1: And Tonight on The Rita Cosby Show, it is primary
Speaker 1: night in the state of Tennessee and a couple of
Speaker 1: big races. First off, the GOP primary for governor of
Speaker 1: Tennessee Marsha Blackburn Senator Marshall Blackburn, who we've had here
Speaker 1: on the show, who I Love. She is the projected
Speaker 1: winner winning the GOP primary there for governor in Texas
Speaker 1: again now goes on to the general election and also
Speaker 1: some interesting surprises. Politico is reporting that Republican rep Andy
Speaker 1: Ogles has been ousted in the Tennessee primary. That he
Speaker 1: lost to another Republican challenger obviously in the primary itself,
Speaker 1: but it's interesting because that was a race that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson had tried to boost his
Speaker 1: campaign in just the last few days. Especially Ogles was
Speaker 1: outraised and also his opponent, who as former Tennessee Agriculture
Speaker 1: Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, who won the primary for the fifth
Speaker 1: district there in Tennessee, got a late endorsement from the
Speaker 1: GOP Governor Bill Lee, and a lot of money coming
Speaker 1: in also on his behalf in the last few days,
Speaker 1: so a lot of people believe that. And a redrawn
Speaker 1: district also definitely affected Andy Ogles. But Andy Ogles has
Speaker 1: been very outspoken, very supportive of President Trump. And Andy
Speaker 1: Ogles has now lost his primary to the former Tennessee
Speaker 1: Agricultural Commissioner Charlie Hatcher. And we'll keep you posted, obviously
Speaker 1: any other big results that come in. We will certainly
Speaker 1: let you know Bill Haggerty running basically unopposed if you
Speaker 1: will handily of course going forward in the primary there
Speaker 1: for GP Senate, who has been a big supporter of
Speaker 1: President Trump as well. But another big primary night in
Speaker 1: the United States, and also next week next Tuesday. This
Speaker 1: is one of those rare Thursday ones. Most of them
Speaker 1: are on Tuesday, but the next Tuesday one is going
Speaker 1: to be Francesca hung in Wisconsin. And Francesca Hong is
Speaker 1: the chef who seems to be cooking up socialism because
Speaker 1: everything she's doing is like socialist. This socialist that she
Speaker 1: said she didn't like Thanksgiving, Well now she kind of
Speaker 1: claims she sort of likes Thanksgiving, that it's not so bad.
Speaker 1: But she also still says she doesn't like Halloween. Who
Speaker 1: could not like Halloween? And who could not like Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: They're both such fun holidays. But that is Francesca Hong,
Speaker 1: And obviously that could be a sign if she wins
Speaker 1: that right now, she is so far ahead in the
Speaker 1: polls there in Wisconsin, some of the polls have her
Speaker 1: like fifteen to twenty points ahead in the primary again
Speaker 1: there in Wisconsin, but it would be another sign of
Speaker 1: a purple state because Wisconsin also a very key state
Speaker 1: in the presidential election in the midterms, as is also
Speaker 1: Michigan one eight hundred eight four eight nine two two
Speaker 1: two one eight hundred eight four eight too, too too.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Woking and Pennsylvania. Line three. What do
Speaker 1: you got tonight? Walking?
Speaker 2: All right, Rita? The first thing is I want to
Speaker 2: say I'm sorry for the loss of your friends.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, thank you. I literally found out the
Speaker 1: news maybe about fifteen seconds before I shared it with
Speaker 1: you guys, and just you know, she was an amazing
Speaker 1: woman and just married Michael Spinks, the Great Boxer. But
Speaker 1: she had an extraordinary life, sort of a rags to
Speaker 1: riches story and became one of the most famous African
Speaker 1: American journalists I think in America. So she will be deeply,
Speaker 1: deeply missed. The great Flow Anthony, and everybody take a
Speaker 1: look learn her life story, because it's a great inspiration
Speaker 1: for for everybody in America, for young kids to dream
Speaker 1: big and make it big.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I have a couple of things. First of all, I
Speaker 2: concur with Reggie, you know, and it brings to mind
Speaker 2: a rushism, the purpose of an army and going towards
Speaker 2: to kill people and break things. Okay, free of the world.
Speaker 2: There's those who conquer and those who are conquered. And
Speaker 2: unfortunately it's time for us to conquer. I ran because
Speaker 2: otherwise none of this is going to stop. And I
Speaker 2: would take no advice from any other Muslim country out there.
Speaker 2: And quite frankly, you know, it really is becoming a disaster.
Speaker 2: Because I hate to say it, I think that there
Speaker 2: are people in the Trump you know, around Trump that
Speaker 2: just you know, are giving him bad advice. And I
Speaker 2: think this is really just designed to make him look bad.
Speaker 1: Okay, well let me and let me play this waking
Speaker 1: because it's interesting because there's a little bit of to
Speaker 1: your point, a little bit of this dance in the
Speaker 1: Oval office, and this is cut seventy eight. This is
Speaker 1: him sort of ask, you know, talking about this deal
Speaker 1: because there's word tonight. The problem also with what's going
Speaker 1: on and Iran. First of all, there's zelots. Any other
Speaker 1: sort of enemy would have probably folded on day one
Speaker 1: or day two. But these guys are fanatics, They're true believers.
Speaker 1: There's zelots. They're the kind of people that you know,
Speaker 1: even if they're standing in a pile of rubble, they're
Speaker 1: gonna say they're winning in charge, you know, and when
Speaker 1: you're dealing with that mindset, that sort of I use
Speaker 1: the phrase kind of Kamakazi mindset, like the kama Kazi's
Speaker 1: in Pearl Harbor that were coming in the Japanese knowing
Speaker 1: they're going to their death and going in and saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be victorious, I'm gonna win, and then they're
Speaker 1: going in for the fight. These people are really zealous.
Speaker 1: But I also do believe, and I say this from
Speaker 1: knowing Donald Trump. I've known him for decades, Joaquin. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a man who, truly he listens to a
Speaker 1: lot of advice, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's his choice and it is his opinion, and he
Speaker 1: will follow his instincts. He has great instincts. But I
Speaker 1: do think he is trying to bend over backwards to yes,
Speaker 1: try to get some sort of a deal, some sort
Speaker 1: of a negotiation, because who wouldn't want to have a
Speaker 1: peaceful negotiation. That would be an extraordy moment. And I
Speaker 1: contend if he can get it, Yes, it's been a
Speaker 1: painful road to get there. If he can get there,
Speaker 1: that will go down as one of the greatest feats
Speaker 1: in presidential history, in American presidential history. If he can
Speaker 1: somehow bring peace to the Middle East and rein and
Speaker 1: Oran and get them to fulfill that. But it may
Speaker 1: be a stretch. I agree with you. There's so much
Speaker 1: back and forth, and I agree with you that he
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of mixed opinions in the Oval office.
Speaker 1: On one hand, I commend him because that's why he
Speaker 1: is such a great guy, that he has a lot
Speaker 1: of different opinions. He's not threatened by different opinions He
Speaker 1: doesn't want yes people around him. He wants people who
Speaker 1: say this is what I think, and he'll say that's great.
Speaker 1: He might say no, I don't like it, you know,
Speaker 1: but I appreciate you telling me. So. Here is one
Speaker 1: of the things he said just a little bit ago.
Speaker 1: This is about a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 1: And this is how he answered. And then we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that right after you hear this.
Speaker 4: Walking pretty soon again, based on everything I see, as
Speaker 4: soon as the war ends, and I think it's gonna
Speaker 4: end pretty soon. I don't think they can go much longer. Yeah, please,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 3: You've been reached to reopen the Straight of Horner.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to say it has been. It's
Speaker 4: sort of open right now. You know, we have a
Speaker 4: thing called the Blockade, headed up by the US Navy,
Speaker 4: and we control it. And now we control it. But
Speaker 4: they can always shoot something, they always have something or
Speaker 4: drop a mind. And if you have one mind setting
Speaker 4: out there, you sort of mess things up because people
Speaker 4: don't want to take their billion dollar boats and accidentally
Speaker 4: get hit by a mind. But I think we're doing
Speaker 4: very well. I just you know, I'm involved in the negotiation.
Speaker 4: I think we're doing fine. It could be said, yeah.
Speaker 1: And President Trump, by the way, Joaqui. And also while
Speaker 1: he was in the Oval office today he also signed
Speaker 1: an executive order about birthright citizenship and also birthright tourism.
Speaker 1: And it's very interesting what's happened. Of course, the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court sort of shot them down like sort of a
Speaker 1: broad white swath of it not that long ago, but
Speaker 1: everybody said, you know what, come back and you do
Speaker 1: this sort of executive order. That's what a lot of
Speaker 1: legal minds were saying, is what President Trump should do.
