these jurisdictions are also crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime. seems obvious. new york city continues to see gang murder after gang murder, the predictable consequence of the city s soft on crime stance. that s what got him. soft on crime. abby: if you listen to what the president, what his the people he surround himself with has been talking from the beginning of the campaign days they have always been on the side of the police officers. i will say that the reminder to be so careful with the words that you use because, as we have been talking about in the show, the media coverage, the mainstream media coverage of the president even in just first 100 days are always going to find the negative side of it. talk about being soft on crime even though they were talking about the liberal policies put in place by mayor bill de blasio. they will take it there. connell: it s about changing the subject taking it from one thing on to another. here is the mayor
democrat running against a democrat and a republican against a republican or one of the two parties against an independent. it s all up for grabs. interesting. we ll see. president trump is not loving the mainstream media coverage of this election. the recent kansas election was a big media event until the republicans won. now they play the same game with georgia. bad. former presidential candidate herman cain joins us from lane lane. what do you think of this? the media circus over this one seat with 18 candidates running. it s right out of the democrat s playbook. try to steal an election by buying it. as jonathan mentioned, $8 million versus a typical congressional race of $2 million. you re going to fool some of the people to voting for this guy. here s the other side of that coin. the republicans are givens it
outside the jefferson parish library today, we didn t meet them. these protesters dispute that anyone was paid. still the tension is gaining traction. could you pay protesters if you wanted to? no. so the networks are denying that there are these outside organizations when, in fact, i think it was last week on cbs dean reynolds spoke to the father of two who got his marching orders from a website, a progressive website and then chip reid interviewed the founder of progressive web site as well. we know for a fact barack obama s organizing group ofa, organizing for action is paired up with a group called indivisible. and what they have done is had a six week training operation to train these people to go out and organize these particular town halls to make it look like everybody is against our new president. abby: so interesting though. we just showed sort of the mainstream media coverage of how these have been playing out.
