  Speaker 1: If you go to the New York Post website, you
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: can get all of his columns. They're all up there,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and he's with us every Monday. Michael Goodwin, how you doing,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, Thank you, Hey. You wrote about Michigan. Now,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we've had the crazy Socialists win congressional seats, but it's
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: always in a crazy little left wing district in the Midwest.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But this is the first time a crazy socialists tried
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to win a state wide race out in the heartland.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: What do you think else Id's chances are, well.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: You're right Mark that this is a mark departure from
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: what we expect from that part of the country. He
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: definitely has a chance to win. The Muslim alone is
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: very important, and of course this is a mid term
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: so you tend to have pretty high turnouts against the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: party in power. So I think Michael Rodgers is a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: very credible Republican opponent. But I do think at this
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: stage he's going to have to flip some Democrats and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the moderates He's independence, He's going to have to win
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a big share of those to win, because I think
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are feel that, you know, as the out party,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: they had the upper hand and the polls so far
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: showed them with a big generic lead across the country,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: but outside I think has a lot of baggage. And
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: if Rogers is good, if the Republican National Party pours
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: enough money in there, he should be able to win
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that state.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's the good news. Republican National Party, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: rnc's got something like a billion dollars on hand, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party, the DNC is pretty much broke right now,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: so that's the good Yeah. Yeah. What about President Trump?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Sh did he get involved in that with that help
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: or hurt?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Well, he of course did win Michigan in twenty four
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: but I think that the President right now touched both ways,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and so I think, particularly on the two issues of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Iran and the economy, his stock has fallen. So I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: think Rogers should handle this mostly on his own. There
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: should be some surrogates who are popular in the region,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: maybe Vice Preader in dance, maybe Mico Rubio, but I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: think this is going to be a tough race. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: was just reading also Mark a piece about the socialists
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: running for governor to be the Democratic nominee for governor
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. So you know the Midwest, we also have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Minnesota of course with Anon Omar, the mid Us is
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: looking kookier and kookier.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he uh this out say, he's been a vicious
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: critic of Chuck Schumer's attacking Chuck Schumer like crazy, Yet
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: as you point out, Chuck Schumer just falls into line.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Why the hell is that? What is wrong with Schumer?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well, Schumer, I think only mostly cares about Schumer and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he wants to be majority leader and they can't. That
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: can't happen if Democrats don't take up four seats and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they're counting, you know, if it can take up the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Michigan seat or hold it anyway, if they were to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: lose it, then I think that would do any chance
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: or Chuck Schumer ever being the majority leader again.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, of course you're right, he wants to be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: majority leader and back in power. But oh that's frightening.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But but yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants nobody wants to be minority leader anywhere.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So uh. And they're all for a cutting aid to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Israel all this stuff. Where did this all start?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: This anti Israel, and it's really anti Semitism. And when
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: when you come to these socialists, it's they're always anti Semitics.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What where did this all spring up from originally in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I think Mark, it's sort of a very
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: fringe element going back to the Clinton days. There were
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: always these kind of fringe nut jobs on the edge
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party. But now in the age of
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders and AOC and the others, they've gone mainstream.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And of course Mom Donnie, and a lot of it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: is generational, right, And I think that Mom Donnie refuses
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to sort of recognize Israel as the homeland of the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Jewish people really is beyond the pale. And yet that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is a contagious idea, the colonizer, the white you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the students where in the kaffeas as though there's some
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: kind of symbol. Yeah, yes, sir, I are fact, that's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: whore the Kafiah, right, Yeah, I mean so I was
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: just freading the story also and the Jewish Israeli media.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: This is the twenty fifth anniversary of the bombing of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the Sabarro's Piece of store in Jerusalem, and you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: thinking about Mark, it's also the twenty fifth anniversary of
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Mine eleven coming up. So that was a really barbaric
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: stretch that was going on in the world, and Unfortunately,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of this anti Semitism was born
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: out of Muslim terrorism al Kaeda and the others, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: yet gained credibility among a new generation, which I might
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a loss to explain. It makes makes no logical sense
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: other than it's pure hatred for Israel and for America.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, I don't know if you've noticed this. We
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: talked about this earlier.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Mom.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Donny is all of a sudden out on the town
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: at these uh yeah, swanky Upper east side restaurants. He
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: was this weekend. Baltus are the very cool hotspot downtown.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Well what is that all about that? You're not supposed
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to do that if you're a socialist, are you?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that that's a secret life of socialists, right, yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: what they want to live, Well, they just don't want
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you to live. Well, look, he's got He doesn't like
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to talks, but he has security. Right. Uh. He pushes
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: about the subway. I don't know, have you ever seen
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: him on the subway? No, I don't know. You've seen
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a picture of him on the subway. So he is
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: living the socialist life. He lives in a mansion paid
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: by coxpayers. I mean that's kind of the socialist Serene right,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: somebody you get to spelled off all of your Carl
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Marks nonsense and you get to live high on the
• 7:19
