Lara Trump | Fox News Host & Daughter-in-Law of President Donald Trump Dissects Midterm Projections Across the Country · Sid & Friends In The Morning

  Speaker 1: I think what people need to remember, as you look
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: at all of these polls, and there are going to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: be a lot more, Martha, as we head towards November 3rd,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to agree with your earlier guest,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Congresswoman Dingell, in that a lot of these polls, it's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: really hard to believe. You go back to 2016 and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: how many polls said that Hillary Clinton was going to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: be our 45th president. We all know how that turned out.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: What happens is oftentimes it really depends upon how you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: ask a question, the sample you're polling, who these people are.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And you can kind of tweak polls based on those
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: metrics to kind of say whatever you want. Polls oftentimes
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are used to either encourage turnout or discourage turnout. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I think the bottom line here for Republicans needs to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: be the same message, which is that it doesn't matter
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: if we say if it says we're up 40 or
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we're down two. This will come down to turnout. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: if people do what the president asked of them in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that midterm convention and pretend he is on the ballot,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to get a huge turnout because
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: regardless of what all of these say, it really will
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: depend upon the midterm elections as to whether or not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this president has a successful final two years of his presidency.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We know what the Democrats want to do. And so
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I would encourage all Republicans out there to continue to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: message Democrats To your constituents out there and to every American,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we have to get out and vote. Make sure you
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: get out and vote on November 3rd. Good morning. Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite that old, but listen, every birthday is
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a gift. So happy birthday, Ray Charles.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: There you go. He is a wonderful, wonderful entertainer. He
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: really was. So I had Joe Grutter live in studio yesterday.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: What a show I had yesterday. Marco Rubio and Mark
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Wayne Mullins and Grutter. And Grutter has agreed with you that, look,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: we've got really good candidates and we've got races we
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: can win. A couple of very important ones right here
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in New York, but it's all about race. Turnout. That
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is the bottom line. I think everybody agrees with you, Laura.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And listen, I think that we saw the impact
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of targeting people like low propensity voters, as we did
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in 2024 from the RNC. And basically what that means, Sid,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is that these are people who don't vote in every
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: single election. Oftentimes, and especially midterm elections, they're not voting.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But whenever you know who those people are and you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: go reach out to them and you encourage them to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: get out and vote and you talk to them about
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the importance of Of these midterms, I think what people
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: need to start realizing is it feels like midterm elections
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: don't really impact much. People get hyped up around presidential elections.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: We know that every four years. But whenever you talk,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: especially about this president, President Trump, and you understand where
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are on things, not only are they total
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: full-blown communists at this point, and they want to completely
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: change our country, but we know that the second they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: get any modicum of power whatsoever, they're They will impeach
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the president. They will make his last two years a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: total living hell. And they will stop all the forward
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: progress that he's been able to make for this country.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We have to give this president his last two years
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of his second term because we know the potential for America.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He knows the potential for America. And the Democrats are
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: going to stifle and stop all of it if they
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: get any power. So I think people really do need
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to listen to the president. As I said, as you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: played that clip from Martha's show yesterday, as he said
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in the midterm elections, vote like I am on the ballot.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: He is on the ballot. You know, I posted this
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: beautiful picture I took with your father-in-law Thursday in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Oval Office. I don't think I need to prove to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you at this point, you and I become extremely close,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: how much I love your father-in-law. And I really think
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he loves me. But he may be angry with me because,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you know, these publications come out, these, you know, Mediate
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and Politico, all these things. And they've been wailing for days.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: MAGA radio host, friend of Trump, blast the president. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the truth is, I was pissed. I was pissed on Monday.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It was Jump Kipper. I hate this mayor. I think
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: he's a very, very bad person. For some reason, your father-in-law,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: who I love dearly, has warmed up to this guy.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm still trying to figure out why we're past
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the point now of only, it's a couple of months. He's, no,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I think he actually likes him. I don't get it. Okay.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And I was angry that he was buddying up and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: saying nice things to Mom Donnie on Monday. Now, I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: still gave Your father-in-law, a tremendous amount of credit for
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a magnificent speech at the U.N. yesterday. And again, he's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: my favorite president and person of all time. But I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was pissed on Monday. Now, you, you've been on this
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: show many, many times, almost weekly, and you've been critical
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of Mom Donnie. So are you going to tell me,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Lara Trump, as a daughter-in-law of the president, that you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: liked what you saw on Monday?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: First of all, let's be let's be clear. I am
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: still incredibly critical of Mom Donnie. I think he's the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: worst mayor New York City has ever had. It's going
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to hell in a handbasket right now. And believe me,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: no one agrees with that more than Donald Trump. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: here's something else people need to remember about Donald Trump.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: New York City is his hometown. No one wants to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: see New York come back more than this president. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: while he probably disagrees on every level of everything Mom
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Donnie is doing, what he stands for, his vision for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: New York, and likely his vision for the rest of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the country, he also is a person who understands that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have to work with people with whom you disagree.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And unlike the Democrats, we don't have a president in
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the White House who purely bases things on politics. This
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is a man, you have to remember, Sid, who was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a businessman, and he bases things on getting stuff done
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and accomplished. So if he in some way can influence
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: this complete lunatic of a mayor, the guy who is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: completely trashing the city, to do something good for New
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: York and it doesn't go straight down the tubes over
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the next several years, then believe me, that's what this
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: president wants to do. So I actually give him credit.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for being willing to reach across the aisle. We know
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: how hell-bent these Democrats are on everything anti-Trump. And they
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: will bury themselves just to, you know, cut off their
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: nose to spite their face, as they say, because they
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: hate Donald Trump so much. Our president is not like that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And he wants New York City to come back. He
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: wants to save it from falling into complete disrepair. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: so you have to understand that that's the perspective he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: coming at all of this.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: No, I get it. But, you know, here we are
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: talking about the midterms. This creep, this mayor, his buddies
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: with Hassan Piker, his buddies with El-Said in Michigan, these
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: are the people we're trying to beat. So when you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: compliment Mamdani, in essence, you're complimenting the Democrats. You're making
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman's job a lot tougher, too, in his race
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: for governor because, Laurie, he's running against both Mamdani and Hochul.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So there's a political implication to our buddy there who
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: we love dearly, President Trump, saying that this guy could
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: turn out to be a great mayor. And the political
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: implication is it doesn't help us. You know, the people
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that were very upset on Monday, they weren't Democrats, Laura.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: They were Republicans. They were MAGA people like me. So
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you. What I will say
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: is sometimes you catch more flies or as they say
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: with with honey than you do with vinegar.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So he said he could be. And he could be
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if he stops being a complete and total disaster.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: There's an opportunity here for Mom Donnie to realize that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: his policies are dragging New York down to maybe turn
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and kind of do an about face in some way
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: on some of this stuff. Now, the Hassan Piker connection, outrageous.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: This guy is a complete anti-Semite. He's a disgusting individual
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: who hates our country and anyone who aligns with them.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: ought to be ashamed of themselves. And they could very
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: happily see themselves out of this country, as far as
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned. But whenever you look at what this president, again,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: wants to try to do, he's trying to build a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: bridge here. And I mean, I think you have to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: give him credit for that. I understand everybody's upset about
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You know, the idea that he would even compliment a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: guy like this. But again, I remind everyone, Donald Trump
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is not a typical politician. Guess what a typical politician
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: would have done? They would have said, oh, this guy's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a disaster and we have we have to go against
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: everything he says and everything he does. Of course, we
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: don't agree with anything this guy is doing. But maybe
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: just maybe there's an opportunity here because this president sees
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: how much power he This guy has over the Democrats
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and the people in that party right now. Maybe he
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: can make some positive change. Maybe it'll benefit New York
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and maybe New York City will be able to return
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to all its glory and greatness.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Well, certainly I hope so, because I'm the guy living here.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys are living in beautiful Florida and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I know you still have homes here and your business
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: is here, obviously, and your husband does a spectacular job.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: are running that company. But I'm here every day. My
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: wife's here. My kids are here. So I hope that's
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the case. I'm rooting for President Trump in this. I
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: just hope he's not mad at the MAGA base because
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: we love him. We adore him. But that was a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: very tough optic on Monday, I'm just saying. Let's get
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to Bibi speaking here tomorrow. I'm going with him, just
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: so you know, Lara. He's going to speak at the UN.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Mamdani still wants to arrest him. He's a war criminal.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: He's genocide. None of that stuff is true. What are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on Bibi as he's about to address the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: UN tomorrow?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Well, he certainly teased us with a nice little video
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: yesterday that I saw quite a bit. And I think
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it's going to listen. I think it's going to be great.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: This is such is such a unique time in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Middle East. And, you know, Israel's gone through a lot.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I will go back to this president and say I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: give him incredible credit. for standing strong with Israel, our
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: closest and longest standing Middle Eastern ally. We have been,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you know, there has not been any daylight between the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: United States and Israel. And I think that's incredible because
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you've heard from all different people that this president, oh,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: maybe he's doing too much, too little.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: There's no daylight between the two of us. So for
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu to come to New York, especially in the wake
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of Mom Donnie, as you just said, saying he's going
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to arrest him, I think he's going to come out
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: guns blazing. I think he's going to have a lot
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to say. And I think that hopefully what we're going
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to see happen at the end of all of this
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: mess that we've seen in the Middle East. And again,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: thanks to President Donald Trump. Trump, is that there's an
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: opportunity right now for historic change in the Middle East.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You've seen the way that because of Iran, you've had
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: an alignment of so many of those Middle Eastern nations.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: against Iran. And it's a new day there. And I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: think Israel has led the way for so much of this.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So I think we're all looking forward to what Netanyahu
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: has to say. I give him a lot of credit
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: for showing up as well, because some people would say, oh,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a little bit of a sticky time.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And he's coming in hot. And so we can't wait
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to see what he's got to say.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: God, I love you so much. I really do. You're great.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I keep telling you this. I don't know how else
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: to tell you how great you are. One of these
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: days when Fox lifts the ban on me, I'm suspended,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you know, because I called Mom Donnie a terrorist with
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Rachel Campos stuffy. One of these days, I got to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: go on My View one of these times and just
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: go nuts. I can't wait. I got to do it. Listen,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I really do love you. You were great today. I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: threw some hard stuff at you. But I love you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I love your father-in-law. I love the Trump family. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you guys continue, all of you, all of you, to
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: make America very, very proud. Laura, thank you so much.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You got it, my friend. Thanks so much.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Laura Trump right there. I couldn't love
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that girl any more than I do. She has to run.
