Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 2: What's next after Michigan's primary?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, so much news coming out of Washington, DC right now.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Tops of which is probably when President Trump said yesterday
- 0:09Speaker 1: that we're going to have a deal we think either
- 0:12Speaker 1: today or tomorrow with Iran. Now, I know we've heard
- 0:16Speaker 1: that before, but you know, when he gives date specific,
- 0:19Speaker 1: it's a little bit more interesting. So let's get right
- 0:22Speaker 1: to John Decker, wor White House and Washington correspondent and
- 0:27Speaker 1: host of the podcast The White House Briefing Room with
- 0:29Speaker 1: John Decker, which could be found on the iHeartRadio app.
- 0:34Speaker 1: You know, John, as I said, I know we've been
- 0:36Speaker 1: here before, but I did perk up when he said
- 0:38Speaker 1: I think we may have a deal by today or tomorrow.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Today would be tomorrow. Now is there any signs that
- 0:45Speaker 1: we're close to a deal.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Well, keep in mind the US is not involved in
- 0:50Speaker 2: these negotiations. It's negotiators from Iran, Larry and also Oman,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and the deal would only involve reopening the straight up homos.
- 0:59Speaker 2: It wouldn't involve anything related to Iran's nuclear program. Those
- 1:04Speaker 2: talks have gone on for several days. We could see
- 1:07Speaker 2: an announcement, as you point out, as early as today,
- 1:10Speaker 2: and that would be a good thing in terms of
- 1:12Speaker 2: reopening the Straight of Hormuz, allowing cargo ships oil tankers
- 1:16Speaker 2: to get through and to get through without having to
- 1:18Speaker 2: pay any fees or tolls. That is also one of
- 1:21Speaker 2: the requirements that President Trump has spoken about when speaking
- 1:25Speaker 2: about a deal to reopen the strait.
- 1:27Speaker 3: John Dekker, is Jenine Piro still the US Attorney for
- 1:31Speaker 3: the Capital.
- 1:34Speaker 2: As far as I know she is. She's not in
- 1:36Speaker 2: a good place right now in Donald Trump's world. And
- 1:39Speaker 2: that's because, as you know, Curtis, the US Attorney's Office
- 1:42Speaker 2: has dropped not one, but several cases against individuals who
- 1:47Speaker 2: were originally charged with vandalizing the reflecting pool. In court filings,
- 1:52Speaker 2: the US Attorney's Office now says that the damage caused
- 1:55Speaker 2: to the reflecting pool was not caused by vandals or vandalism.
- 2:00Speaker 2: It was caused by shoddy work by the contractor. Now
- 2:03Speaker 2: President Trump disagrees with that conclusion, and he's made his
- 2:07Speaker 2: feelings known, both publicly and privately. The President has known
- 2:11Speaker 2: Jeanine Piro for quite some time, and it would be
- 2:14Speaker 2: pretty remarkable, Curtis, if the President decided to remove her
- 2:17Speaker 2: from her position.
- 2:19Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. This midterm election is now fascinating
- 2:24Speaker 1: and we haven't even got to the general election. We're
- 2:26Speaker 1: not out of a summer just yet. But I mean,
- 2:28Speaker 1: the list of scandals and crimes and big stories and
- 2:33Speaker 1: some heartbreaking stories from all of these congressmen, sitting congressmen,
- 2:38Speaker 1: or people running for office is getting to the point
- 2:42Speaker 1: where it's mind blowing. I mean, I don't remember a
- 2:45Speaker 1: time covering politics where I've heard this many congressmen and
- 2:51Speaker 1: or people running for congressmen having these kind of problems. John,
- 2:55Speaker 1: what sticks out to you.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Well, there have been scanned. There have been scandals in
- 3:01Speaker 2: every part of the country California, Swallwell, Max Miller, Ohio,
- 3:06Speaker 2: North Carolina, Texas, and all of them have led to
- 3:10Speaker 2: members of Congress deciding not to run for another term
- 3:14Speaker 2: because of the scandal that has engulfed them all. With
- 3:17Speaker 2: the exception of Max Miller, he will be on the ballot.
- 3:21Speaker 2: That could be problematic. He comes from one of those
- 3:23Speaker 2: swing districts in Ohio, so we'll see what happens with
- 3:27Speaker 2: his seat. Every seat matters, Larry and Curtis, as you know,
- 3:31Speaker 2: because of the very tight margin that Republicans have right
- 3:34Speaker 2: now in the House of Representatives.
- 3:35Speaker 3: So I count it as three Republicans. We obviously, as
- 3:41Speaker 3: you mentioned, the Miller case is and rightfully so, connering
- 3:44Speaker 3: the majority of the attention. But I noticed in North
- 3:48Speaker 3: Carolina that Republican congressman finally decided to stand down. He
- 3:53Speaker 3: was being accused of harassing sexually harassing two of his
- 3:58Speaker 3: staff members, females staff members. But then there is the
- 4:02Speaker 3: Republican congressman who stood last night for his only Republican debate,
- 4:07Speaker 3: is still in the primary process. He got it hammered,
- 4:13Speaker 3: not just in terms of the allegations that he's guilty
- 4:17Speaker 3: of domestic abuse, but one of his adversaries said, oh,
- 4:22Speaker 3: I understand you married your wife in a mosque and
- 4:25Speaker 3: you converted to the Muslim faith. And he stood up
- 4:28Speaker 3: and he said, would you like me to do the
- 4:30Speaker 3: Lord's Prayer to you right now to prove to you
- 4:32Speaker 3: that I'm not a Muslim and that I was not
- 4:35Speaker 3: married in a mosque. That's how some crazy this whole
- 4:41Speaker 3: campaign process has become. Well, it has.
- 4:45Speaker 2: It's a very interesting time that we're in, you know,
- 4:48Speaker 2: when you have these kinds of very personal attacks. You
- 4:50Speaker 2: just mentioned one that happened in a debate in the
- 4:53Speaker 2: past twenty four hours. The debate that I attended earlier
- 4:58Speaker 2: this week in South Carolina republic primary debate was pretty
- 5:02Speaker 2: tame compared to what you just described happening last night
- 5:05Speaker 2: in that debate. But it's almost this season where you're
- 5:08Speaker 2: going to see more of these debates. We'll see more
- 5:11Speaker 2: of them after Labor Day. And we know that the
- 5:15Speaker 2: Democratic nominee who just won his nomination after a very
- 5:21Speaker 2: tough fight in Michigan, he has put on the table
- 5:24Speaker 2: five debates with his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers. So we'll
- 5:28Speaker 2: see if that comes to pass.
- 5:30Speaker 1: So is Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former personal attorney going
- 5:35Speaker 1: to be the US Attorney General or not?
- 5:38Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I think it's up to really a handful of Republican
- 5:43Speaker 2: senators who have not yet just said how they will
- 5:46Speaker 2: vote on the Senate floor. We know that Susan Collins
- 5:49Speaker 2: is a no. And because Susan Collins is a no,
- 5:52Speaker 2: John Fetterman is a no as well. We know that
- 5:57Speaker 2: Todd Blanch can only afford to lose two other Publican
- 6:00Speaker 2: votes before it becomes problematic for him in terms of
- 6:04Speaker 2: winning confirmation as the next Attorney General. I think I'll
- 6:07Speaker 2: make it. You know that this is really important to
- 6:10Speaker 2: the president, and typically on these types of votes, those
- 6:14Speaker 2: Republicans that are on the fence typically cave and give
- 6:18Speaker 2: in to what the president wants.
- 6:20Speaker 3: John Dekker, that vote is supposed to take place tomorrow, Friday,
- 6:24Speaker 3: before the United States Senate. What about Mitch McConnell. He's
- 6:28Speaker 3: nobody's seen him, nobody's heard from him, other than that
- 6:31Speaker 3: picture that was in the Washington Post of him propped
- 6:34Speaker 3: up in the bed with his wife next to his side.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Might this require, if in fact, the numbers don't play
- 6:40Speaker 3: out for the president, that they wheel him in in
- 6:43Speaker 3: a wheelchair and he does it. John McCain, you know,
- 6:46Speaker 3: thumbs up or thumbs down.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Possibly, But I don't think his health is good enough
- 6:52Speaker 2: even for that scenario that you just described. Curtis, you know,
- 6:55Speaker 2: I think that you know, he really is in a
- 6:57Speaker 2: place right now where he can't make it back to Washington,
- 7:00Speaker 2: d C. From Kentucky where he's convalescing. So we'll see.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I mean, I think that Republicans right now are counting
- 7:07Speaker 2: on the fact that they will not have his vote
- 7:09Speaker 2: one way or the other when the vote is taken
- 7:12Speaker 2: on Friday. On Todd Blanche's nomination.
- 7:15Speaker 1: So is Congress going to be on recess or not.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I know, the one thing that senators and congressmen like
- 7:23Speaker 1: to do, especially before midterms is getting back into their
- 7:26Speaker 1: districts so they can fund raise. But now there is
- 7:30Speaker 1: talk of doing away with the recess until the Save
- 7:35Speaker 1: Act is passed. Is there any possibility of that?
- 7:38Speaker 2: There is a possibility. As you know, there are some
- 7:41Speaker 2: Republican senators that want to see that happen. You know,
- 7:44Speaker 2: Senator Scott from Florida is one of those individuals. Mike
- 7:48Speaker 2: Lee from Utah another one of those Republican senators. But
- 7:52Speaker 2: John Thune seems to be of the mindset that it's
- 7:55Speaker 2: more important for some of those Republican members to get
- 7:59Speaker 2: back home into camp, not just a fundraise, but to
- 8:01Speaker 2: campaign because they're in really tight races and because of that,
- 8:06Speaker 2: you know, he wants them to go back and make
- 8:09Speaker 2: sure that their seat is locked up, you know, for reelection.
- 8:12Speaker 2: So he'd like to see Susan Collins go back to
- 8:15Speaker 2: Maine the campaign. And you know, that's that's just one
- 8:18Speaker 2: example of one of those senators who does need to
- 8:21Speaker 2: get back and make certain that she locks down her state,
- 8:24Speaker 2: her vote's pretty important in terms of Republicans maintaining control.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Over the US Senate. Now, I know that the Attorney
- 8:33Speaker 3: General now the interim Attorney General, who would like to
- 8:35Speaker 3: become the permanent one tomorrow with the up and down
- 8:38Speaker 3: the Senate vote, Todd Lange was willing to sign a
- 8:42Speaker 3: paper that said, Okay, there will be no law fair
- 8:45Speaker 3: fund at one point eight billion, you know, for those
- 8:48Speaker 3: who felt that they were screwed by the government. J
- 8:50Speaker 3: six and others. But I'm not sure on the second
- 8:53Speaker 3: part of it about shielding Trump or the Trump family
- 8:58Speaker 3: business from future audits by the irs, especially since the
- 9:03Speaker 3: Trump family is making so much money now on biitcoin,
- 9:08Speaker 3: which I refer to as crime coin. Is every I
- 9:11Speaker 3: dotted on that and T crossed or is that being
- 9:14Speaker 3: left up before the discussion.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Well, according to Tom Tillis who was on the fence,
- 9:21Speaker 2: and John Cornyn who was on the fence as well,
- 9:24Speaker 2: they're satisfied with the memos that the Department of Justice
- 9:28Speaker 2: has put out. But you know, as far as the
- 9:30Speaker 2: second item that you mentioned, this deal related to the
- 9:34Speaker 2: president's taxes, the taxes of his sons, the taxes of
- 9:38Speaker 2: his businesses. It's unclear whether that memo undoes that agreement
- 9:44Speaker 2: that was agreed to between the Department of Justice, the IRS,
- 9:49Speaker 2: and Donald Trump in his private capacity.
- 9:51Speaker 1: As a citizen.
- 9:53Speaker 2: I think that to undo it, you'd have to have
- 9:55Speaker 2: the signatures of all three of those entities undo it,
- 9:58Speaker 2: and I don't think that's happened.
- 10:00Speaker 1: So, John, if if Anthony Fauci today is held in
- 10:04Speaker 1: contempt of Congress, does that have to go to the
- 10:08Speaker 1: full Senate or can it go right to the president?
- 10:11Speaker 2: Well, if he's found in contempt of Congress, then it
- 10:15Speaker 2: is up to the person that you mentioned earlier in
- 10:18Speaker 2: our conversation, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia,
- 10:22Speaker 2: as to whether or not to actually prosecute that case.
- 10:25Speaker 2: There have been instances before where members of the president's
- 10:30Speaker 2: cabinet have been found in contempt. I think about Eric Holder,
- 10:33Speaker 2: for instance, but the US Attorney in that instance decided
- 10:36Speaker 2: not to, you know, prosecute him for contempt of Congress. Now,
- 10:41Speaker 2: Janine Piro, she needs to win favor with President Trump,
- 10:44Speaker 2: so we'll see where this goes. You know, I think
- 10:46Speaker 2: that if there is a contempt of Congress vote that's
- 10:50Speaker 2: taken and Anthony Fauci has found in contempt of Congress.
- 10:54Speaker 2: This will be argued in terms of the legality of
- 10:58Speaker 2: that in the Federals before we go down the path
- 11:01Speaker 2: of seeing Anthony Fauci in the criminal court room.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Well, it's quite a drama. John Decker, wlor White House

- 11:37Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. What's making national news is
- 11:41Speaker 3: how insurance premiums are skyrocking for small, mid size and
- 11:46Speaker 3: big businesses. And a lot of it is due to
- 11:49Speaker 3: the extreme weather. We've gone through the flooding, the heat.
- 11:52Speaker 3: We're expecting more of that tomorrow. And you had a
- 11:56Speaker 3: handshake agreement with you. A broker got his commission. Slam bam,
- 12:01Speaker 3: Thank you, ma'am. And you can't find them now because
- 12:03Speaker 3: you can never can until it's time to renew, and
- 12:05Speaker 3: they always increase your premiums. So I'm telling you it's
- 12:09Speaker 3: time to put the brakes on. Forget about your broker

- 13:12Speaker 3: shows h llari. Let me ask you in your career
- 13:15Speaker 3: of TV news broadcasting, did you ever work the market
- 13:19Speaker 3: Eureka in California?
- 13:21Speaker 1: Yes, first TV market I was in Wow. It's like
- 13:24Speaker 1: the one hundred and eightieth market.
- 13:25Speaker 3: So if you had become an iconic figure there, like
- 13:29Speaker 3: some do, they spend their whole life in one market,
- 13:33Speaker 3: you would be doing a story now that would be
- 13:35Speaker 3: followed all over the world because it is so unbelievable.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Let me give you the location is Eureka's Old Town
- 13:44Speaker 3: district and it's a bookstore book legger, as you know,
- 13:48Speaker 3: it's a laborer love now to have a bookstore because
- 13:50Speaker 3: it's not a chain. It's owned by Jennifer mcphaden. Jennifer
- 13:55Speaker 3: is ready to go home and her staff is saying, Jennifer,
- 13:59Speaker 3: you got a got to open up this package. There's package,
- 14:02Speaker 3: there's a book in it, and she goes, I get
- 14:04Speaker 3: books every day. You know, authors want me to stock
- 14:07Speaker 3: their books. I just don't have time for it. They said,
- 14:10Speaker 3: you better look at this one, and she takes the
- 14:13Speaker 3: note out attached to a book which she doesn't identify
- 14:16Speaker 3: right away, and it says, I want to apologize because
- 14:21Speaker 3: forty years ago, I was a shoplifter going to a
- 14:25Speaker 3: nearby college and I was in desperate need of money
- 14:29Speaker 3: because I had a horrible drug and alcohol problem. And
- 14:32Speaker 3: I came in and I shoplifted this book that is
- 14:35Speaker 3: in the package, and attached to the book was one
- 14:38Speaker 3: hundred dollars in catch and it turns out that that
- 14:42Speaker 3: book was a rare first edition book. Forty years later,
- 14:47Speaker 3: he was rummaging through his garage sort of like Joe
- 14:49Speaker 3: Biden was. You know where his corvette is? Holy moly,
- 14:53Speaker 3: I got top secret documents here? Remember that one? No,
- 14:57Speaker 3: he goes, where did I get that book? And then
- 15:00Speaker 3: he remembered he had shoplifted and he couldn't sell it
- 15:03Speaker 3: because what are you gonna get? That's a niche thing.
- 15:07Speaker 3: And he sends it back and the owner, Jennifer McFadden,
- 15:12Speaker 3: just breaks down in tears and it's crying, and she's
- 15:15Speaker 3: so heartfelt, and she goes, I never have expected that
- 15:19Speaker 3: a shoplifter forty years later wants to probably before he
- 15:26Speaker 3: ends his time on this plane, you know, right, the wrong.
- 15:30Speaker 3: That is a really great story.
- 15:32Speaker 1: It is a great story. How wonderful is that? And
- 15:35Speaker 1: did we get a name on the guy? Did he
- 15:37Speaker 1: did he sign it or did he just send it
- 15:39Speaker 1: back without signing it?
- 15:40Speaker 3: No, No, he signed. In fact, she contacted him an
- 15:43Speaker 3: email address. So they're going to be meeting up and
- 15:46Speaker 3: apparently you know, you know what the marketplace is like
- 15:50Speaker 3: in Eureka. It's sort of even though California is known
- 15:53Speaker 3: for its big cities, it's got so many of these
- 15:55Speaker 3: great small cities that maintain a tradition.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Oh no, there are two industries you how small town
- 16:01Speaker 1: it is is lumber yep, and salmon fishing.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Oh, salmon, that's right. You know what Nancy puts up
- 16:11Speaker 3: on the screen. The bears, you know, waiting for the
- 16:15Speaker 3: salmon to go upstream, you know. And they're just sitting
- 16:18Speaker 3: there basically taking a bath in the cold water and
- 16:20Speaker 3: just waiting for the salmon to sweep or swim upstream
- 16:23Speaker 3: and occasionally grab one.
- 16:24Speaker 1: And they're competing with the Native Americans that live in
- 16:26Speaker 1: the area because they do the exact same thing, and
- 16:29Speaker 1: the fishermen are upset with both of them, both of them.
- 16:32Speaker 1: It said, let them go mate, let them go, mate,
- 16:35Speaker 1: and then you can eat them all. Right, let's get
- 16:37Speaker 1: this and talkbacks.
- 16:38Speaker 4: Eighteen years ago, I had both knees replaced at the
- 16:43Speaker 4: same time and I have never regretted it at all.
- 16:48Speaker 4: The rehab that I had that was amazing. I was
- 16:53Speaker 4: able to do weight bearing within a week, within two
- 16:58Speaker 4: and a half weeks.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about at the top of the show,
- 17:03Speaker 1: the fact, because Natalie Vaka's not here today, Chris Schweizer
- 17:06Speaker 1: is filling in. Natalie is going to have knee surgery,
- 17:10Speaker 1: and we talked about different treatments for both backs and
- 17:13Speaker 1: knees because it's the most common ailments. And that's what
- 17:16Speaker 1: led to that talk back. That's great, that's wonderful to hear.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Lets you get chronic headaches right before work. You have
- 17:24Speaker 5: breakfast with my wife in the morning before I leave
- 17:26Speaker 5: for my long commute. Once getting in the car, the
- 17:29Speaker 5: headaches start going away. I couldn't figure out what was
- 17:31Speaker 5: going on. There was like mold, pet dander anxiety from
- 17:34Speaker 5: the commute. But then one day my wife had to
- 17:36Speaker 5: leave before I did and the pain went away.
- 17:39Speaker 3: I can't identify with that.
- 17:45Speaker 1: He set that up perfectly.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I can identify you have the same thing. Oh my god,
- 17:53Speaker 3: without naming names. There's a time I'm sitting at the
- 17:57Speaker 3: kitchen table. It's like two in the morning. That's what
- 18:00Speaker 3: I do now, show prep right, Uh, what are you
- 18:03Speaker 3: doing downstairs? I'm reading the newspapers. There was no internet
- 18:06Speaker 3: at the time. You know I'm doing chow prep. Really,
- 18:11Speaker 3: how do I know you're reading the newspaper? Shit? You'll
- 18:14Speaker 3: welcome the shit opposite me because you know it's very laborious. No, no,
- 18:20Speaker 3: my I wanted to scream, and then I realized, don't
- 18:22Speaker 3: do it, Curtis, don't do it.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Yeah, let it head, let it ahead before it gets horrible.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Let's get the dairya all finger with the seven thirty Newsdari.
- 18:33Speaker 6: Morning, guys. I say, the reason Joe and I have
- 18:34Speaker 6: been married for eighteen years is we only see each
- 18:37Speaker 6: other on the weekends.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the secret, the secret to all happy
- 18:41Speaker 1: marriages being away from each other as much as possible.
- 18:46Speaker 6: Well, we are pretty much in for the worst of

- 19:15Speaker 6: The FAA says President Trump was never in danger Tuesday
- 19:19Speaker 6: when a commercial jet came within a mile of its helicopter,
- 19:22Speaker 6: Marine one, was taking off from the White House. At
- 19:24Speaker 6: the same time, an Envoy air flight took off from
- 19:27Speaker 6: Reagan National Airport. FAA policy requires all commercial traffic at
- 19:31Speaker 6: Reagan to stop when the helicopter leaves. A rare wildlife

- 21:56Speaker 1: It was the race that was getting national attention mainly
- 22:00Speaker 1: because of the rise of democratic socialism and the man
- 22:04Speaker 1: who says, I'm not a democratic socialist, although if it
- 22:07Speaker 1: walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's
- 22:09Speaker 1: a duck, and he's definitely a socialist. His name is
- 22:12Speaker 1: Abdul L sied, and he's never run for anything and
- 22:15Speaker 1: he's never held political office. Doctor Abdul l sayed he
- 22:19Speaker 1: was supposed to all the polls showed to show you
- 22:22Speaker 1: how good the polls are in primaries, especially said he
- 22:25Speaker 1: was going to win in a walk. It was gonna
- 22:27Speaker 1: be fifteen points, twelve points, it was gonna be double digits.
- 22:32Speaker 1: But it was a horse race that went until the
- 22:36Speaker 1: next day. Congresswoman Haley Stevens lost by less than one percent,
- 22:44Speaker 1: and we didn't know the results until early this morning.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And yet now we do have another socialist that's going
- 22:51Speaker 1: to join, hopefully in he's hoping for it to join
- 22:55Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. Barry Sanders.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's the joy you see. Senator said, would
- 23:03Speaker 3: have had the Barry Shander's jersey Detroit.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Them if by just glad I didn't say, Colonel Sanders,
- 23:13Speaker 1: help to join Bernie Sanders. And here he is El
- 23:16Speaker 1: sai ed.
- 23:17Speaker 7: Too long our foreign policy has been handed to us
- 23:19Speaker 7: by the likes of the State of Israel and Apak,
- 23:21Speaker 7: who has made sure that Democrats and Republicans are doing
- 23:25Speaker 7: their bidding. So long as our politicians continue to be
- 23:27Speaker 7: bought off by Apak, do not be surprised when we
- 23:30Speaker 7: fight wars that are in their best interest to annex Israel,
- 23:32Speaker 7: Itanic Lebanon, or to do genocide and Gossam.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Yeah, well, That was him talking in an interview, not
- 23:39Speaker 1: on the stage.
- 23:40Speaker 8: Halley Stevens did particularly well in this corridor. And what's
- 23:45Speaker 8: in this corridor, well, there are a lot.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Let me set this up a little bit better. This
- 23:48Speaker 1: is Harry Anton. As you can tell by the voice,
- 23:51Speaker 1: everybody knows him. At this point. He talked about where
- 23:54Speaker 1: the votes are coming. We came from for both Haley
- 23:58Speaker 1: Stevens and Abdul l saied and it's fascinating and it's
- 24:02Speaker 1: going to say a lot about the general election race
- 24:04Speaker 1: to come.
- 24:05Speaker 8: Ally, Stevens did particularly well in this corridor. And what's
- 24:09Speaker 8: in this corridor, Well, there are a lot of working
- 24:12Speaker 8: class voters and a lot of African American voters. Abdul
- 24:15Speaker 8: Asayah did very poorly amongst these groups in the primary.
- 24:19Speaker 8: It's going to be very interesting to see whether or
- 24:21Speaker 8: not he can bring them into the tent come the
- 24:24Speaker 8: general election, bring those swing voters with them, because where
- 24:27Speaker 8: Abdul Asaya did well. To be honest with you, we're
- 24:30Speaker 8: really just college towns.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Wow, come on, and you give this guy credibility. You
- 24:35Speaker 3: want the Muslim vote, which is a huge vote in
- 24:38Speaker 3: Michi Ki. What a schmuck this guy is he's interesting
- 24:40Speaker 3: in it.
- 24:41Speaker 1: It is interesting. And everybody said, and maybe this was
- 24:44Speaker 1: his problem. Everybody said, there was going to be a
- 24:47Speaker 1: huge turnout of Muslim vote. Now it was up, but
- 24:50Speaker 1: it didn't. Wasn't a huge turnout from Muslim vote.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Them over the top. For him to exclude.
- 24:55Speaker 1: That, except that's where most of the votes came from
- 24:58Speaker 1: for him, most of the votes were in those areas.
- 25:01Speaker 1: I mean, he's not wrong. I understand your point. I
- 25:03Speaker 1: understand your point, and I get it. And for him
- 25:05Speaker 1: to exclude that was probably a mistake because he said
- 25:08Speaker 1: almost exclusively, which is a dumb thing to say. But
- 25:12Speaker 1: but the votes, most of the votes she got were
- 25:15Speaker 1: from white young people and highly.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Educated people, not white young people. He won the white
- 25:22Speaker 3: young people.
- 25:23Speaker 1: That's what I said. He that's what he Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 25:26Speaker 3: He won the and not just those who were in
- 25:28Speaker 3: college and college towns, but those who have gone on
- 25:30Speaker 3: to white college job right, Yeah, you're right. It was
- 25:33Speaker 3: as if it was a mini Mandami.
- 25:35Speaker 1: But he had the districts. You understand that he was
- 25:37Speaker 1: showing the districts.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Understood that. But let's look at how Mandami bet Cuomo
- 25:42Speaker 3: in the primary. He lost the black vote overwhelmingly. He
- 25:46Speaker 3: lost the traditional moderate Democrats overwhelmingly, but he won those
- 25:52Speaker 3: same groups. And then the very next day he got
- 25:56Speaker 3: down a business. He was in every black church. He
- 25:59Speaker 3: got to Unionians to support him because Cuomo Vacillator, remember
- 26:03Speaker 3: Coo maybe oh running and Independent, went out to the
- 26:05Speaker 3: Hamptons and hid for a while. So he's using the
- 26:08Speaker 3: same playbook. He must get the black votes. They're not
- 26:11Speaker 3: going to vote for Rogers, but they'll stay home. He's
- 26:14Speaker 3: got to somehow excite them to come out and vote
- 26:17Speaker 3: for him, because there's a battle, especially in what they
- 26:19Speaker 3: call Metro Detroit. Now that's forty percent of the vote,
- 26:22Speaker 3: so that's not just Detroit, that's the suburban areas. The
- 26:26Speaker 3: old black traditional power base of Democrats is being challenged
- 26:30Speaker 3: by the growing new power base of Arabs. So although
- 26:34Speaker 3: they'll appear in joining you know, yeah, we love one another,
- 26:37Speaker 3: it's really bitterness.
- 26:38Speaker 1: You know.
- 26:39Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, you guys aren't taking over. We
- 26:41Speaker 3: fought too long to be the power in Metro Detroit.
- 26:45Speaker 3: So he's gonna.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's got big problems. He's got huge problems.
- 26:50Speaker 1: I was watching c SPAN the other day and all
- 26:52Speaker 1: these people were calling up that are Democrats, saying, I
- 26:54Speaker 1: can't vote for him if he wins, I'm not going
- 26:56Speaker 1: to vote for him. Well a lot of working I'm
- 26:59Speaker 1: not going to vote for Rogers. They are, they say
- 27:02Speaker 1: they're going to I mean, you know, and listen se Span.
- 27:05Speaker 1: It could be a setup. I don't know, but but
- 27:07Speaker 1: it sounded like they were. And the polls show that
- 27:11Speaker 1: that Rogers at this point is going to win, and
- 27:13Speaker 1: all the betting markets are going for Rogers, and Rogers
- 27:16Speaker 1: were smart. He takes off the table a pack.
- 27:20Speaker 3: A pac invested thirty two million dollars in the fail
- 27:24Speaker 3: candidcy of Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost, as you mentioned,
- 27:28Speaker 3: by less than a percentage point. And I thought, for sure,
- 27:32Speaker 3: you're going to go to court, because, as you pointed
- 27:33Speaker 3: out to me, Larry, in a primary, it's not an
- 27:37Speaker 3: automatic recount as would be in a general election. I
- 27:40Speaker 3: thought it would be that too. The very next date,
- 27:42Speaker 3: they're happy there making love to one another, political love
- 27:46Speaker 3: along with the outgoing senator, you know, to show solidish
- 27:49Speaker 3: like Mandami did. But if Rogers is smart, he's going
- 27:52Speaker 3: to raise a lot of money. Don't take a pack
- 27:55Speaker 3: money because.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I'm sure he's going to and so I mean, you're
- 27:59Speaker 1: saying that, but I'm sure sure he's going to. And
- 28:01Speaker 1: I think that he's going to win going away. And
- 28:04Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons is going to be
- 28:06Speaker 1: is because it's, first of all, it's a swing state,
- 28:09Speaker 1: and secondly, it's mostly conservative state. And so they're going
- 28:12Speaker 1: to go for Rogers, even the Democratic Conservatives who are
- 28:15Speaker 1: the white working class, and they are going to use
- 28:19Speaker 1: this as drawing a line. Donald Trump's already talked about it.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Rogers came out and talked about it. They want to
- 28:25Speaker 1: draw the line on socialism and they want to drive
- 28:28Speaker 1: the line in what they call communism. Here's Rogers what
- 28:30Speaker 1: he said after lsied one.
- 28:33Speaker 9: I'm telling you this is about the heart and soul
- 28:35Speaker 9: of our country. The whole country is looking at us
- 28:39Speaker 9: here in Michigan. They're looking at you, and they're hoping
- 28:44Speaker 9: we do everything that we can do together to make
- 28:47Speaker 9: sure that we stop this in its tracks.
- 28:50Speaker 1: That's what the race is going to be. That's what
- 28:53Speaker 1: the race is going to be. This is the battlefield
- 28:55Speaker 1: against socialism. With Rogers. You can hear him saying it.
- 28:58Speaker 1: So you don't think he's going to win with that.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Telling you that was used against fdr' a student of
- 29:07Speaker 3: the Republicans who were screaming that he was a communist.
- 29:10Speaker 3: He was a socialist. Learn your history. I do know
- 29:13Speaker 3: my history. They never he's not l say Ed, he's
- 29:16Speaker 3: he's not abdul la Ed. As much as you don't
- 29:19Speaker 3: want to acknowledge this, yes, I know. Number one issue
- 29:22Speaker 3: costs a living, Number two issue, the economy, number three issue,
- 29:26Speaker 3: iran all in them play to L. Saied Ro.
- 29:29Speaker 1: People aren't going to admit they're not going to vote
- 29:32Speaker 1: for L.
- 29:32Speaker 2: S i e.
- 29:33Speaker 1: That's the reason. For that reason, they're never gonna say
- 29:36Speaker 1: it's because he's a Muslim. They're never gonna say it's
- 29:38Speaker 1: because he's a social the same arguments against Zoorahmandami. That's
- 29:44Speaker 1: again it's apples and arches. Apples and arches. He can
- 29:47Speaker 1: win in New York. L. S i Ed would win
- 29:49Speaker 1: in New York, not Michigan.
- 29:51Speaker 3: I'm telling you if he takes a pack money Rogers,
- 29:54Speaker 3: he doesn't need it. He just gives L. S ied
- 29:58Speaker 3: a tremendous campaign.
- 30:00Speaker 1: You don't like, you don't like a pack all over
- 30:03Speaker 1: the place. Well, no, they're not losing races all over
- 30:07Speaker 1: the place. They normally win, won't get the percentages on
- 30:10Speaker 1: the people.
- 30:11Speaker 3: The Democrats who because they they weren't a supporter of
- 30:16Speaker 3: BB they backed another Democrat and hurt that Democrat. They
- 30:20Speaker 3: are obsessed with.
- 30:22Speaker 1: In the Democratic Party.
- 30:24Speaker 3: That's it only in the Democratic Party.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I will say that they win probably at seventy five
- 30:29Speaker 1: percent of the time.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Not in favor of Israel, is not in favor of
- 30:33Speaker 3: being Democrats. You and the rest of the Democrats are
- 30:37Speaker 3: so he can't Rogers cannot win with Republican Scelona Michigan.
- 30:40Speaker 1: You do acknowledge that, no, that he can win the
- 30:42Speaker 1: white middle class is what he can win. That's what
- 30:45Speaker 1: he's gonna win. I will bet you that he wins
- 30:47Speaker 1: the right. I would love the bet, well, I would.
- 30:52Speaker 3: But I'm gonna tell you learn your history.
- 30:57Speaker 1: It's a ridiculous.
- 30:58Speaker 3: It's not ridiculous. Ridiculous history history repeat.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Itselt out of your history for a second, and my history,
- 31:06Speaker 1: because those who don't understand the history turn out to
- 31:10Speaker 1: be fools.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Because history we know those are foolish.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Who compare FDR to abdul Alsaed, It's it's like compar a.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Racist FDR was an antisemit. Learn your history.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Please, please, let anybody can leave a talk back and
- 31:30Speaker 1: please help me on this to convince him that Abdul
- 31:36Speaker 1: story over me. Please, No, I don't think you are.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Do not understand the history of FDR and the Democratic Party.
- 31:45Speaker 1: If you think they relate, you're not a historian.
- 31:48Speaker 3: Okay, if you think the two of them related, we'll
- 31:50Speaker 3: see how the results turn out.
- 31:52Speaker 1: All right, that's it to me. That was just a
- 31:55Speaker 1: ridiculous analogy. Oh now I don't even know where we are.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Natalie Magliori, who is coming from the streets which will
- 32:05Speaker 3: be hot, sweltering, sticky, and humid tomorrow, that's for sure,
- 32:09Speaker 3: she's gonna hate having to be down there up into
