  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on WI.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you see all these public polls, these junkie, cheap,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: little flimsy polls. But let's talk to the greatest poster
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: in the world. I mean, the real polls are behind
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the scenes, the ones that candidates use pay a fortune for.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: But here's here's the best pollster on earth, John McLaughlin.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: His website McLachlan online dot com. But he's been the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: pollster for presidents, prime ministers, premiers, senators all over the world.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: John McLaughlan, how you doing.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well, because that's a very very nice introduction.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: But as well as having survived three presidential campaigns with
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: President Trump where he made his polster look good, I'll
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: accept it, all right, He tredit goes to him and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the other the other elected officials work force.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So well, I just take the polls. We'll get to
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: him in a moment. Let's start with the governor's race
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: here in New York next year. Bruce Blakeman a Lee
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: stephonic to me, they're both very popular. I think Blakeman
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: would be the better choice because he's what he does
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: right now. He's a governor. He's the governor of Nassau County.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: She's a legislator, he's a governor. But where does it
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: stand pole wise?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Well exactly. I mean, well, first of all, there's only
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: been one poll that was a serious poll that was
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: put out there, and that was the Cien Pol and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Siena Pol had a congresswoman, Stephonic losing by twenty
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: points and had her upside down. She was twenty eight favorable,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: thirty six unfavorable. They didn't even put Bruce in it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So even though you know Kathy Hochel is very beatable,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: she's not popular and most people when somebody knew the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: congresswoman's losing to her by twenty points. And I worked
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for Lee's Eldon last time, at some point we hit
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a wall with forty seven percent, but it was close
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: enough that we gained congressional seats in New York. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the bad part about this is somebody like Bruce, let
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: me tell you are the election he had in Nassau
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: County was defied the national trends where he got re
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: elected with twelve percent in an eight point Democrat county
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: because he's cut taxes and he's kept the taxes low.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Plus he hired hundreds of more police and worked with
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: ice and it's the safest county in America. So Bruce,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: like in Nassau County and in our post election surveys,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: well the voters gave him a twelve point you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: landslide and a carry through the rest of the ticket.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He brought all these other Republicans in with them, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the rest of the state they were losing, like fifty
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Republican county legislators up state. They were, you know, they
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: taking losses in Syracuse and other places. And you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: even like in Stuffict we lost Riverhead. And so there's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: there's we need somebody like Bruce who can win among
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Hispanic voters, who won among Hispanic votes, he won among
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Asian voters, he won among Jewish voters. I mean in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: New York, you have to get thirty five percent of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the vote in New York City to win President Trump.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You know got thirty percent. Zeldon got thirty percent. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the lease is not getting that. And a lease, you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: know is the Bayport is if you get if you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: can't win the New York suburbs and you can't win
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: New York enough vote in New York City, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Adirondacks aren't going to make it up so upstate,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you know, well, the Republicans are fighting for existence upstate
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: because the other thing Hulkle did was she moved a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: lot of the idd year elections, these town supervisors, a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: county legislatiers, they moved into the even year behind the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: governor's race. So not only will we have trouble trying
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to like defeat Laura Gillen in the Democrat in CD
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: four Nasaux County or Tom Swasby and Nasaux County. Uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you might have Republicans like Nicole Malay Takas, Nicololota, my
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite, Mike Waller an upstate, You're gonna
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: have a lot of problems trying to get the Congress,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Republican of Congress re elected. And uh, Bruce changes
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the whole makeup of the race. He's running on a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: positive record, a positive view. He's definitely a Trump Conservative.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He had we had President Trump out at the Ryder
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Cup in Nasviall County during the campaign and it was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it was turned into like a between Bruce and President Trump.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It was like a USA rally. It was like a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Trump campaign rally. And you know, so and President Trump
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: after he visited his job apoul in National County was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: fifty seven percent.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: So Blakely would be the best governor. There's no better choice.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: But people say you can't win. A Republican cannot win
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in New York City as mayor Republican. And I'm starting
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to think we haven't had a Republican governor in twenty.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Years, have we? And no George for Taki that was
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, he served three terms, and and Bruce
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is a lot like George where you know, he has
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that personal appeal. I mean, President Trump says, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Bruce's of central casting. He's very likable and and like that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Siena pol I cided, I mean, Elise's twenty eight favorable
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: thirty six unfairbles she's already that negative in New York
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: State among the voters that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Nowhere republican Republican can win New York, right.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, definitely a Republican could win New York because in
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that same poem referring to most voters want somebody new
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: for governor, and uh, you know, well they want somebody new,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: but they're saying, well, lease, isn't it. So let's let's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: give Bruce some time to build some support and show
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: he could potentially beat Kathy Hulkl. So you know that's uh,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you know, we need change in New York. And uh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: definitely right, you're you're familiar with you know, I mean,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and that was with Mayor elect Mundai. Uh, you're going
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to need a governor to be a check and balance,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: particularly if the legislature gives in on him, like Bruce
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: has pointed out that Kathy Holk We now wants to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: raise the corporate tax in New York from seven percent
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to eleven percent. Well, that'll be passed on to consumers.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: That won't be good for cost morning. Hey, could and.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Could you guys start using the word tariffs. I love
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to do that. When they talk about raising the corporate tax,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: it's a tariff. So Democrats want to now put tariffs
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on the corporations in New York. It's the same thing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The difference is no tariffs are on you know, that's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: on foreign things coming back to the United States. We're
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: talking about this is domestic. This is your jobs in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: New York. The people that you might work for in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: New York. If they get if their corporate taxes go
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: from seven to eleven. Here they go to Texas and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Florida and Tennessee and you know, it's it's not good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So they you know, we could lose jobs because of them,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and then the prices get passed on and so hey,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we need we need to like Bruce to stop that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, definitely, Bruce Blakeman. Hey, I'm watching The Morning
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Joe this morning. Apparently Donald Trump has the worst poll
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: numbers ever. He's dying, He's going to be uh, the lowest.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: What's the real truth?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: We had? And it's on our website. The day before Thanksgiving,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: we put out a national survey, We put out a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: monthly national survey, and President Trump has a fifty job
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: approval forty six disapprove among likely voters, people that will
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: show up next November and vote for members of Congress
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and Senate. And you know, I think it could be
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it could be higher, but we've got we've got to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: sell them that the you know, ironically, that the economy
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is doing better. Economy and inflation are still the top
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: issues and Biden is responsible for most of the inflation
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he's dealing with right now. But President Trump had a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: great night on Tuesday night when he was out in
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania talking about the fact that wages are now growing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: faster than the rate of inflation. And you know, the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: tax cuts, the no tax cuts on tips, on overtime,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: on so security, they don't kick in till January. So
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: when they start kicking in, you know, our friends like
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Larry Kudlow, Steve Moore that you know very well, Steve Forbes,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that's when you'll get even better growth in the economy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And uh so I think that'll that will help us
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: next year so that we can keep keep the House
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and keep the Senate in uh in Washington, and President
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Trump will be out on the campaign trail doing what
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he did on Tuesday night, talking about the real facts
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about how how the economy is in better shape than
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I think, as you said, uh, Joe Scarborough or whatever
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: they said, you know, I mean before they go back
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to Connecticut and their dry limbos and stuff like that.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So but we think we need to I mean, President
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Trump is going to make it better for working class voters.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And this affordability issues. As Bruce Blakeman showed us in Nasau,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Democrats can't be for affordability when they want to raise
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: your taxes. I mean, how that's the least affordable thing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: If the four years of biding inflation to pay higher
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: taxes in every Democrat for Congress or for Senate voted
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: for the elected Trump tax cuts laps, which would erase
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: taxes two or three thousand dollars on every American. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: we can't afford that. And pal's not lower and interest
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: rates fast enough, because morriage rates are still high, credit
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: card rates are still high. We got to get rid
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of him, and we got to look at Trump tax
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: cuts work, and friends like Larry Cullo a tell us
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they gotta have a boom.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: This year, yeah, and next year. Actually, starting January, the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: big beautiful bill kicks in. Everybody's going to notice a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: big difference in their paychecks starting in January. Well, John McLoughlin,
