• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from

  Speaker 2: becoming a United States senator.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And that's the fact.

  Speaker 2: We're not going to let that happen. And nine days

  Speaker 2: from now, the people of Michigan are going to defeat
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Abdul Mohammed Sayed. Abdul Mohammed Al Sayed, a man who
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: should never be allowed inside the halls of our great,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: beautiful Capitol building in Washington.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Obama defended Sayed, comparing Trump's attack to what he faced
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: on his own campaign trail.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: They will use lies, and they will use fear, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: they will use division. And they may even use your
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: name or your faith to somehow suggest that you are
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: dangerous and less than trustworthy and less patriotic and less
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: American than they are. We have seen this movie before.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I starred in it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I was... I'm the... I was... I was.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: I've got a long-form birth certificate to prove it. This
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: stuff didn't work on me, not in Michigan.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's not going to work on Abdul.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Abdul is fighting for change, real change.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Obama also criticized Trump's tariffs, saying they're driving up prices
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for Americans, and he questions the president's expensive White House renovations.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He even had something to say about all that gold.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: He seems very focused on home renovations.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: He should be on HGTV.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: a cheesecake factory.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Just gold everywhere. And all this campaigning comes as new
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: polls show Democrats leading Republicans in the race to control
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the White House. Now the focus is on getting voters
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to the polls. Early voting is underway in several states,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and Election Day is next Tuesday, November 3rd. And a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: three-year-old soccer player in Florida is apparently so good at
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the game that he got kicked out of his league.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: His name is Nevada. He's just three years old, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: he's already playing against five-year-olds. And according to his parents,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he was dominating the game so much that other parents
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: started complaining because their kids couldn't get the ball away
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: from him. This happened in Winter Park, Florida, where his
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: family says the I-9 Sports Youth League eventually kicked him out.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And get this, the police were called.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: His father says officers showed up because his son was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: holding onto the soccer ball too much.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: They called the police on a 3-0 because he had
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the ball for too long, and nobody else can get
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the ball. So they called the police on him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, so they're wanting
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: you guys to head out.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: So if the league office is going to reach out
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: to you, I'd give it about a week, okay?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: They don't reach out by then.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Maybe try and reach out to them, just put them
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: up online.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: But you should be getting a refund.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The family says they were told to leave the field
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and their registration fees were refunded. Now, we haven't heard
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the league's full explanation for what happened, so it's unclear
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: whether there was more of a dispute. But videos of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Little Nevada playing soccer have now gone viral, and his
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: family says all he was doing was playing the game
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: he loves. And if you're a nurse struggling to pay
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: off student loans, the federal government has a new program
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that could wipe out $ 40, 000 of that debt.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: And the applications are now open.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: The Department of Health and Human Services is putting $ 275
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: million into a program to get more nurses working in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: nursing homes, especially in communities where health care workers are
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in short supply. Here's how it works. If you qualify,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the government will pay you up to $ 40, 000 toward your
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: student loans in exchange for working at an approved nursing
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: home for three years. And if you don't have student loans,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you could qualify for a $ 10, 000 stipend instead.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: That's extra money on top of your regular salary.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: The government expects the program to help more than 4,000
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: nurses across the country in all 50 states. You can
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: find more information and application details through the Department of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Health and Human Services at hhs.gov.
