• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, let me get to Lawder first. Here, the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: King of Rockland County, of course, the great mister Salt.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: He's on his way somewhere. He's at the airport if
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: they get to them quickly. Mike Lawler, good morning, buddy.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I'm good, said, long time, no speak.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you keep blowing me off for CNN. I don't know.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: You don't call, you don't write, you know, you don't
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: love me anymore. I don't know what.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Happened because you can't get me. Mike Johnson.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: That's why he said he's gonna do it soon. You
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: don't have to. You don't have to reach out to Hakeem, Michael,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: come on soon.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Seriously, your nemesis, your nemesis,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries hanging out with Johnson, Oh.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: With Jared, with Jared Jared Kushner.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not Johnson.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Listen that they did work back together in the first
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: term on the first step back, So it doesn't surprise
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: me that there's some level of engagement. But look, here's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the bigger issue. Had Keem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: seventy one days away from election day, does anybody have
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a clue what the hell they're running on. What it
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: is that House Democrats and Senate Democrats are running on.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: No, And that's what you came to you.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you nobody could answer a single question about
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: what either of them are standing for other than I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: hate Trump, right, but I guarantee you. I guarantee you
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that everyone can answer what the DSA stands for, what
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: AOC and Zo Run Mandani and Bernie Sanders want to do.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And that's the fundamental point said. The Democratic Party is
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the party of Zo Run Mamdani, AOC and Bernie Sanders.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It's not Schumer and Jeffries. They're feckless, they're useless, they
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: don't do anything. But Bernie AOC and Mamdani are pushing
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: hard and they're winning these races across the country in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Democratic seats, safe seats. But this is the agenda that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: they're going to bring them. One is Washington. They want
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: open borders, they want to defund the police, they want
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to ban an abolish ice. They want sanctuary states. They
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: want to raise taxes by four trillion dollars. They want
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a government takeover of Medicare and our healthcare system. They
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: want a complete overhaul of the United States of America
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: as we know it. That's what's at stake this November.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: This is common sense versus crazy, this is capitalism versus Marxism.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: This is Western democracy versus radical socialism. That's what this
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: is all about. Come November third. So folks have a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: choice this year, a very clear choice. And it is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: not Jeffries and Schumer leading the way. It is Mamdani
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: AOC and Bernie Sanders.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The question is, as Republicans, would we be better off
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it was if it was Schumer and Jeffreys leading the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: white I mean in terms of probable duties, because I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: don't speak to a lot of Republicans honestly, that are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: very confident. You would think, hey, these DSA psychos you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: just talked about what they want to do. It's all bad,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's all bad for America and the world. Yet I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: don't speak to anybody that's incredibly confident, even people that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think we may win, retain the House, retain the Senate,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: even then nervous. So what exactly is going on? You
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of psychos who clearly hate this country,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and yet Republicans are still scared to death.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Look, the historical trend obviously says that it's going to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be a tough midterm, but I feel very good about
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: where we are. My district is one of those that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: will determine the outcome of control of Congress, as it
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: did in twenty two and twenty four. The polls have
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: me up. We are running hard, We're up on TV
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and going to go all the way through. It's going
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to be a sixty million dollar race. But here's the thing.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: This is a very clear choice. It's not really Republican
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: versus Democrats, as I said, it is common sense versus crazy,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And we need to make the case to the American
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: people of the next seventy one days what is at stake,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: what the choice really is. My opponent can claim she's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a moderate, but she supports a government takeover of health care,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: she supports sanctuary state policy, she supports a four trillion
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: dollar tax increase. This isn't rocket science. It's a very
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: clear choice. So ultimately, I think what we have to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: do is make the case to the American people that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the policies that they are promoting is going to destroy
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: this country. And it's that simple. So we have we
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: have seventy one days to get it done. Folks need
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to get off their ass and get in the fight.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: This is a fight for the country and a fight
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: for the future. And if you're not in the game,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: then don't complain.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Nicely, said Mike. I like the fact that you endorce
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: my good buddy Kevin Byrne. This week, Annally, you mentioned
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: your opponent a couple of times. Is Kate and I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: keep talking to Republicans about having debate, you know, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: keep askinging all these other candidates, Caroline Shinko as Michael
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: lasher as he said he'll debate you and other candidates
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: along the way, and they can't seem to get any
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: debates against any of these people, even Bruce Blateman. Bruce
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Blakeman can't seem I got a debate against Kathy Hockele.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But I think you're having the same issue. Why don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you having the same issue with Kate.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Conley Because these issues aren't debatable. These folks are crazy
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and they don't want to actually have to defend their
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: policy positions. Kathy Hokeel doesn't want to have to defend
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the fact that she's effeckless and competent moron. Kathy Hochel
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to defend the fact that she's run the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: state into the ground. I mean, come on, of course
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: they don't want a debate. I challenge my opponent to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: six debates. She declined NBC News and CNN. What was
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: she afraid that they were going to ask her tough questions?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, good grief, this is what is wrong in
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: this moment. These folks just want to take over the country.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: They want to overhaul our entire system, turn us into
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a socialist utopia, government takeover of everything from business to healthcare, etc.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: They have no actual plan And the bottom line is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: all of these policies that they're advocating for they've never
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: fucking worked anywhere they've been tried.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: No, They've got a very long list of failures in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: terms of countries. And what's scary Mike Lawler, mister salt Is.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Bernie Sanders politician, You mentioned Mom Donnie politician,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You mentioned aoc I guess she's a politician. She might
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: have run for president in twenty twenty eight. But a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: guy that is every day becoming more and more powerful
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is not a politician. But what are real scumbag he
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: spent this weekend doing some speaking somewhere and sang this
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: song we are Charlie Kirk. He actually was making fun
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: if Charlie Kirker was assassinated in cold blood for everybody
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in America to see. One of the most grotesque moments
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in Mike fifty nine years was watching that video and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: this scumbag, Hassan Piker was lapping it up, singing, we
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: are Charlie Kirk this weekend and like it or not,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Mike Lauler, this guy is starting to gain some real
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: power and popularity inside that party, is he not?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: No question, he's the chief spokesperson for that party. But
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. When you have somebody like him who
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: says America deserved nine to eleven, do you really expect
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: him to act with decency and integrity and honor. Of
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: course not. He's a piece of shit and we all
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: know it. And the fact is the Democrats have embraced them,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They own them good and the American people should understand
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the choice. This November, I.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Know that Abdul l Sied is going to be on
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Jesse water Show tonight and he's got a big race
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: coming up against Mike Watras I'm going to speak in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas this weekend for the Republican Jewish Coalition, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Mike Rodgers is one of the speakers. And I think, Mike,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that is a race that everybody is going to keep
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a close eye on. Rogers versus LSIED in Michigan.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, no question, and we can absolutely win it. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: look said, I know everybody's nervous about the midterms, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: seventy one days, leave it all out on the field.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: We are going to win the House, We're going to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: win the Senate. Obviously President Trump is in the White House.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: This is about the future of the country. This is
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: about the direction people want to take us, whether we
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: are a capitalist, a constitutional republic, or a socialist Marxist uh,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you know, radicalize country. That's the choice. Yeah, you're right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I know you gotta get out of here and hop
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: on a plane. But is there only twoth to the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: room of Mike that if God forbid and I don't
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: see this happening, but God forbid you lose to Kate Conley,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that you will decline for the WNBA draft.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'm tall enough.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawula, I love you wherever you're go, and have
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: yourself a safe trip. We'll get you in studio one
