Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Maksim live from the WR Life Back studios. Well, let's
- 0:08Speaker 1: talk to the best pollster in the world. Now. First,
- 0:11Speaker 1: you got these public polls, you know that you see
- 0:13Speaker 1: in the news, you see on TV, the media polls,
- 0:16Speaker 1: the college bulls, they're all just junkler a couple hundred people, real,
- 0:19Speaker 1: cheaply done. The dead serious polls that the candidates use
- 0:23Speaker 1: are very, very sophisticated, deadly accurate, and the best to
- 0:27Speaker 1: all of them is John McLaughlin. You can check out
- 0:30Speaker 1: his website. It's McLaughlin online dot com. But this is
- 0:34Speaker 1: who real candidates use, president's prime ministers use, and he's
- 0:38Speaker 1: with us. Now, John McLaughlin, how you doing Mark.
- 0:42Speaker 2: I'm doing well, and I'm doing well because as long
- 0:46Speaker 2: as Donald Trump's president, uh well, I'm always going to
- 0:49Speaker 2: be able to listen to you say those those poles
- 0:51Speaker 2: were deadly accurate, which they were.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Hey, just explain to us this past week you had
- 0:57Speaker 1: this Democratic primaries, the big nutshob kook left wing social
- 1:02Speaker 1: What is this trend and where will it end?
- 1:06Speaker 2: Well, it's it's within the Democrat Party. These big government
- 1:10Speaker 2: socialists are taking over and it's in reaction to the
- 1:13Speaker 2: success that that president Trump has had we have. I mean,
- 1:19Speaker 2: the Republicans are mainstream. President Trump has transformed the Republican
- 1:23Speaker 2: Party into this party of working class homeowners, capitalists, people
- 1:28Speaker 2: who want to run some wall businesses and farmers, etc.
- 1:33Speaker 2: You've got this great heartland coalition that we created back
- 1:37Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen for him to win the first time
- 1:39Speaker 2: and has expanded where we won the popular vote in
- 1:42Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and we swept the battle around states.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And in reaction to it, the Democrats have gone nuts.
- 1:49Speaker 2: They've terranged and we just put out a poll that
- 1:52Speaker 2: the President retruthed that last night where is job approols
- 1:56Speaker 2: kicked back up to fifty forty six percent disapproved. It's
- 1:59Speaker 2: a thousand like voters who tend to vote this November.
- 2:03Speaker 2: And it's so he has some success because on Iran,
- 2:09Speaker 2: most Americans from what they see or read, they support
- 2:13Speaker 2: what he's doing with the ceasefire deal. And what's amazing
- 2:17Speaker 2: is you've got seventy six percent. There's a message gap
- 2:20Speaker 2: because seventy six percent approved that everyone must never have
- 2:23Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, and you've got another seventy five percent
- 2:26Speaker 2: say we got to require a RAND to stop funding
- 2:28Speaker 2: international terrorism against Israel and other nations. But if you
- 2:34Speaker 2: go to left wing cable channels, or you don't get
- 2:37Speaker 2: your information from any news source other than you know,
- 2:41Speaker 2: like if you don't hear from the writer's certed people
- 2:45Speaker 2: like to listen to your show or have fair journalism
- 2:48Speaker 2: with Newsmax or Fox News, et cetera, they're not getting
- 2:51Speaker 2: that information that this is what it's about. And it's amazing,
- 2:54Speaker 2: I mean, you know so. But the President Trump, he's
- 2:57Speaker 2: getting it out and he's getting his supports started to
- 3:00Speaker 2: tick back up. The difference too, is the Republicans for Congress.
- 3:06Speaker 2: While President Trump's increasing his support, Republicans are losing to
- 3:10Speaker 2: the Democrats in the generic vote for Congress forty six
- 3:12Speaker 2: to forty three. So there's Trump voters who are not
- 3:17Speaker 2: voting for Republicans who may not vote in November. They
- 3:20Speaker 2: may have to show up, which is a disaster for
- 3:23Speaker 2: the midterms because he had one hundred and fifty five
- 3:25Speaker 2: million people come out, and you know, in twenty twenty
- 3:29Speaker 2: four vote for President Trump has seventy seven million. But
- 3:33Speaker 2: midterms you only get like in twenty eighteen, one hundred
- 3:35Speaker 2: and eighteen million people, or in twenty twenty two, you
- 3:37Speaker 2: had one hundred and twelve million people. So if the
- 3:41Speaker 2: Trump voters, they'll come out. These socialists who have taken
- 3:44Speaker 2: over literally a few thousand votes. I mean, the Mondamine's candidate,
- 3:49Speaker 2: Chevity should beat Espayatte and the Bronx and Harlem by
- 3:54Speaker 2: a mere three thousand votes because you only had about
- 3:56Speaker 2: sixty thousand people voting in the or I forget the number,
- 4:00Speaker 2: but it's about that. It's it's it's a small number
- 4:03Speaker 2: of people that turn out in primaries. So the socialists,
- 4:06Speaker 2: these big of the socialists understand that that they can
- 4:09Speaker 2: take over the Democrat Party because the Democratic Party, the
- 4:12Speaker 2: establishment is so weak, and that's how Mondami got elected.
- 4:17Speaker 2: He got elected in the primary. And they they're running
- 4:20Speaker 2: these primaries, you know, and they're you know, the Landers
- 4:25Speaker 2: beat Goldman. I mean, it's amazing when you think about it,
- 4:28Speaker 2: and I mean, the anti Semitism, the message of Prohamas
- 4:32Speaker 2: anti Semitism is unbelievable that that, you know, Landers himself,
- 4:37Speaker 2: who happens to be dealers and beat Dang Goldman because
- 4:40Speaker 2: he was too pro Israel and wasn't uh anti Israel enough.
- 4:44Speaker 2: And then you got to shows she once heard this,
- 4:48Speaker 2: but they're they're these socialists. Their agenda the Democratic socialists.
- 4:52Speaker 2: They they want to legalize prostitution, they want to league
- 4:56Speaker 2: which is bad for you, and trafficking. They want to
- 4:58Speaker 2: legalize hard drugs. They want to shut down jails. Chevy,
- 5:01Speaker 2: I think from somebody commits murdered, they shouldn't have to
- 5:04Speaker 2: go to jail because she wouldn't answer the question four times.
- 5:07Speaker 2: They're really radical, extreme Democrats. Yeah, and it's not just
- 5:11Speaker 2: happening in New York. You know, you got l s
- 5:16Speaker 2: a Ed in Michigan, you got Tolerico in Texas, You've
- 5:19Speaker 2: got Platner and Maine. You've got really extreme Democrats winning primaries.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Yeah. As you say, in the mid term type elections,
- 5:28Speaker 1: you got low turnout. And the problem is Democrats and
- 5:32Speaker 1: they're really good at turnout. They've got their best ground
- 5:34Speaker 1: game of Republicans don't have it in a lot of places,
- 5:37Speaker 1: especially in New York. How is that ever going to
- 5:39Speaker 1: get fixed?
- 5:41Speaker 3: Well, well, well Trump fixed it because we you ended
- 5:46Speaker 3: up having to build a lot of organizations where you
- 5:48Speaker 3: had these nonprofits that are able to identify voters and
- 5:51Speaker 3: get them out. But Trump had aggress who's you know
- 5:54Speaker 3: group that came out from He had an agenda where
- 5:57Speaker 3: he wanted voter ID proof of citizenship before you vote.
- 6:00Speaker 3: You want to have his Trump tax cuts renewed, no
- 6:02Speaker 3: tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax tax
- 6:06Speaker 3: credits for senior citizens. He wanted to secure the border.
- 6:10Speaker 3: I mean, he hasn't make America story on our military,
- 6:13Speaker 3: make sure our reign doesn't get nuclear weapons. He had
- 6:16Speaker 3: an agenda that people were passionate about to go out
- 6:19Speaker 3: and vote. Plus you had Joe Biden and Kalla Harris
- 6:21Speaker 3: on the other side. But you know, when you think
- 6:24Speaker 3: about it, like here in New York, the only way
- 6:27Speaker 3: we're going to stop the socialists is to elect Bruce
- 6:30Speaker 3: Blakeman as governor because the tail is wagon they're going
- 6:33Speaker 3: on hopeful because I mean Bruce is like he's cut
- 6:37Speaker 3: taxes and he got re elected in a Democrat county.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Big he cut taxes. He's got a tax cut playing
- 6:43Speaker 3: for New York. He's going to cut utility.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Bills in half because there's so much regulation and waste there.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You know, he's going to make our life more affordable.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Plus he'll keep us safe because like NASA Stavis County
- 6:54Speaker 2: in the country, because he hired hundreds of law enforcement officers.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Back we want when we win. But you're the pollster
- 7:02Speaker 1: right now, where does it stand? How does it look?
- 7:05Speaker 2: By the way, don't believe the fake poles like Siena
- 7:07Speaker 2: Sana Institute must get.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Money because they do register vos. They only had twenty
- 7:11Speaker 3: two percent. Republicans were normally twenty five to thirty percent,
- 7:15Speaker 3: so there's any point skew there.
- 7:16Speaker 2: They also had forty percent for New York City. It
- 7:20Speaker 2: was only thirty two percent four years against Zelden from
- 7:23Speaker 2: New York City, so there's a sixteen point skew. But
- 7:26Speaker 2: don't believe those state poles. Blakeman's within within about eight
- 7:30Speaker 2: nine points. That was our last poll.
- 7:33Speaker 3: And Huckel.
- 7:34Speaker 2: The bottom line where we had in common with those
- 7:36Speaker 2: other poles.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Is the posters don't like Kathy Hockel. They think she's
- 7:40Speaker 3: too weak. They don't think she'll stand.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Up to the Donnie her can't. She's supposedly she endorsed
- 7:46Speaker 2: the established, the Democrats with the King Jeffreys against Man
- 7:49Speaker 2: Donnie's candidates. They got steamrolled. Nobody came out for them.
- 7:53Speaker 3: They don't like them.
- 7:54Speaker 2: We can't afford New York New York is this job
- 7:56Speaker 2: leaving those businesses leaving? I mean, it's like Manami's talking about,
- 8:01Speaker 2: it can hover homes of property from people he wanted
- 8:04Speaker 2: into ten percent property tax like in New York City.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I mean, you're going to have a clear contrast between
- 8:10Speaker 2: the what Bruce Bludman wants to do to keep New
- 8:14Speaker 2: York affordable and safe versus Ukalhem Mandonaleie what they're doing
- 8:18Speaker 2: for the state.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, John McLaughlin, the world's best poster. People must
- 8:23Speaker 1: ask you all the time, what's going to happen in
- 8:24Speaker 1: the midterms. Isn't it really too early to say? No?
- 8:29Speaker 2: Well, it is in some degree it is. That could
- 8:32Speaker 2: be things that change. But right now it's a contest,
- 8:37Speaker 2: and you've got about forty districts where they're in play
- 8:42Speaker 2: for Congress to the House, and there's fourteen absolute toss
- 8:45Speaker 2: ups and I could decide. So you know, a little
- 8:49Speaker 2: like I'm talking about the mood or the country is
- 8:51Speaker 2: the generic ballot, It's like, if it moves a couple
- 8:55Speaker 2: of points, it could represent dozens of congressional seats and
- 8:59Speaker 2: maybe three or four really contested Senate seats where you're
- 9:03Speaker 2: looking at the Senate is also in play. And by
- 9:06Speaker 2: the way, Chuck Schumer in my national poland if you
- 9:09Speaker 2: want to find the results, it's at MacLaughlin online dot com. Yeah,
- 9:12Speaker 2: but the on our website.
- 9:14Speaker 3: But Chuck Schumer is a twenty nine favorable, like forty
- 9:18Speaker 3: four on six unfevorable. He's like he's the leader of
- 9:22Speaker 3: the Democrats in the Senate. So here he is twenty
- 9:26Speaker 3: nine favorable, forty five unfavorable, and he's really disliked. And
- 9:30Speaker 3: that's President Trump's main opponent.
- 9:32Speaker 2: I mean, the guy who shuts down the government, the
- 9:35Speaker 2: guy who stoles all the legislation, the guy who any
- 9:39Speaker 2: you know voter id to make sure we have honest elections.
- 9:43Speaker 2: He's the guy who stopped on this. And he's from
- 9:45Speaker 2: New York. And by the way, if there was a
- 9:47Speaker 2: primary in New York, he'd lose by twenty points to Aos.
- 9:50Speaker 2: If if she decided to primary, he'd get trust so
- 9:54Speaker 2: he'd be he'd be the next one to get run
- 9:56Speaker 2: over by Mondonne.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Wow.
- 9:59Speaker 2: But that yes, you know, but that's is it too
- 10:03Speaker 2: early now? It's it's I mean, there's still a lot
- 10:06Speaker 2: at stake in there's there's a contrast election that has
- 10:09Speaker 2: to be has to be defined where this is what
- 10:13Speaker 2: the Democrats stand for Tula Rico and Texas. You know,
- 10:16Speaker 2: he doesn't think God's it's thinks there's six genders and
- 10:20Speaker 2: God's non binarian. And you set this guy Platinum with
- 10:24Speaker 2: the Nazi tattoo up and up in Maine and you
- 10:27Speaker 2: got you know, I mean, there's serious issues at play.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And the Democrats they don't want to just repeal the
- 10:34Speaker 2: tax cuts. They want to the Trump taxes. They want
- 10:37Speaker 2: to raise taxes. So how should you win on an
- 10:39Speaker 2: affordability issue when you want to raise taxes about seventeen
- 10:43Speaker 2: hundred dollars the person on every American?
- 10:45Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see, but keep polling and Everyodey should
- 10:51Speaker 1: help Bruce Blakeman. We want to see him become governor.
