  Speaker 1: from nine till noon on 710 wor well hey it's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: hour number two that's right you missed the first hour
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we start at nine o'clock every morning uh the protests
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in france as we reported yesterday 58 groups involved in that.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: These French protests trying to burn down the country, destroy institutions,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: wipe out the culture, take down the French democracy. Well,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it was a bunch of the normal yearly protesters, the students,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the unions. Well, 38 other groups jumped in. Violent, dangerous
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: groups from Antifa to Islamic extremists, all sorts of communist groups. Well,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that was 38 of them. We now know that it
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: was 101. Well, it's now 101 groups getting involved for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the future. There are now 101 very dangerous, radical groups.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: They're calling themselves Chaos Inc. And they are now talking
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: about doing this in multiple countries. They want to stretch it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: They've got nine countries they want to target and come
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in and take down cultural institutions and.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Burn down cities. Destroy the democracy. They've got nine countries. Now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the problem is it's France, so it's Macron. He's done
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: nothing about this. He's got some police in the streets.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He really needs to send the military in and just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: stop this. Just take all the looters and burners and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: arsonists and rioters and just take them away and lock
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: them up. He's got to show force. They're doing that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in Italy. They're starting to get some of these protests.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Italy put it down real fast, brought out the military.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You got to stop it in its tracks. They're going
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to let it get out of control in France. President
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Trump has been warning them, warning them to do something
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about this. And first of all, it's too late to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: go after the initial cause, which is they left the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: border open for years. And I'm afraid at some point
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the only way to fix it is call Tom Holman.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And get him to come over there and do what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: he did here, deport millions of the worst criminal illegals
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and get them out of the country. Well, the Senate race,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it looks like the Republicans have a good shot at
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: not only holding on to the Senate, maybe picking up
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a seat or two. The one race people were worried about,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Susan Collins in Maine, always has these tough, tough races.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But in the end, she always wins every time. So Collins,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: this time, she had that terrible, crazy communist candidate. They
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: had to get rid of him, and they put in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: what they thought was a more reasonable candidate. His name
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is Troy Johnson. But they had a debate. You know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: by the way, every one of these Senate debates, governor's debates,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it's two debates or three debates. The only one that's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: refused to do this is Kathy Hochul. She did one debate,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and she picked A little tiny thing that nobody sees
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: called New York won. She won't do it on a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: real TV station. She's turned them all down. She won't
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: do a second debate. This is absolutely unheard of. It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a tribute to Bruce Blakeman that she's terrified to debate him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: He easily won the first debate, and there's no way
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: she's going to agree to a second debate. But getting
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: back to Collins in Maine, I think this is the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: second debate. So there's a heckler. starts screaming at Collins
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the debate. And she says, and this,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, is the standard comeback you use when
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you get one of these crazy hecklers going after you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in a debate. You say, well, obviously that's one of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: his supporters. Well, that's somebody he's sent in to do this.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That's standard. You always use that response in a debate.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So when she does it, Troy Jackson tells her to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: shut up. And this has gone viral in Maine. Now,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to go viral in Maine, all you need is about
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: 100 people. But it's a big moment. This could be
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the turning point in the race. People thought that was,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you don't say shut up to a woman. You don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: say shut up to a senator. And there's all kinds
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of protests now against Troy Jackson saying he's abusive. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: main slogan of an abusive husband, they say, is shut up,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: shut up. Well, take a listen. Here it is.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So this is obviously one of Troy's supporters.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, shut up. You're not supposed to say that in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a debate. And you're not supposed to say that to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a woman. Take a listen to it again.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So this is obviously one of Troy's supporters.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, shut up.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's not a bad thing to say. This is obviously
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: one of his supporters. Who would argue with that? Oh,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: shut up. So they're using it in campaign ads. Could
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be a big, big, big turning point there in the election.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime. Nobody's happy with these choices. Bad Bunny.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a bad show. It was just probably not
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the best idea for a Super Bowl halftime show. They
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: got a committee that picks these shows led by Jay-Z.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You'd think Jay-Z would pick some great acts for halftime,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: but nobody's liked the last few. So they probably told him,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you better do something better this time. So the word
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is Jay-Z has picked this year's halftime show. He's picked himself.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: It'll be Jay-Z if all these reports are correct. Jay-Z
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: will do the halftime show.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea. He is perfectly qualified to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: do this. Hey, go back to like the 60s and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowl halftime show. You wouldn't believe it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It was like Andy Williams was the most the most mainstream,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: harmless sort of entertainers. And now it's just gotten crazier
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and crazier and crazier every year. So, hey, Elon Omar,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing they've got a real good, real good. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: evidence against Omar looks pretty bad. Pretty bad. Now, they
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: were going after her for immigration fraud, for lying about
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: her age, because when her father came over here and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: got his green card or visa or whatever, if you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: have a child, a minor, they're automatically in. So the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: word is she doctored her birth certificate to make it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: look like she was 17 and a minor. And she wasn't.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: She doctored it to change her age. So that would
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: be enough to kick her out of the country. That
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: would be immigration fraud. And this whole thing about marrying
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: her brother to stay here, you may remember a few
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: days ago you saw the reports they had gone through
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: her garbage. The Department of Justice, FBI, law enforcement seized
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: her garbage. And apparently her sister's garbage and apparently other
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: people's garbage. Now, the reason they do that, when they
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: get your garbage, usually, you know, if you've got a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: private eye after you, First thing they'll do is get
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: your garbage because everything's in there. Your, you know, your
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: credit card bills, your phone bills, everything's in that garbage.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But apparently what they were looking for in the garbage
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was DNA. You know, you leave your DNA on all
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: this stuff that you've touched. So apparently they got her DNA.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They got her brother's DNA. So I'm hearing they're going
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to prove she did indeed marry her brother.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So this could get very interesting. They're being very quiet
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: about it, which is a, Also a sign that they're
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: about to get her on something. So keep an eye
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: on that. Kimberly Guilfoyle. Now, apparently, when all the heat
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: started and looked like she was going to be removed
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: as ambassador and the scandal broke, apparently she was making
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of phone calls. She called Defense Secretary Pete
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Hegseth begging for help, begging for him to put in
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a good word for her and help her. Pete Hegseth
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: used to work at Fox News, as she did. They
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: probably knew each other from back then. So it was
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: probably like Tessio saying to Pete Hegseth, can't you do
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: something for old time's sake? Come on, Tom, for old
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: time's sake. Hegseth apparently did nothing. She called you ambassador
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to Turkey, Tom Barak, who she knows, a big ambassador
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and a longtime friend of the president's. I don't think
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that did anything. And apparently she called Rupert Murdoch himself
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: because it was the Wall Street Journal that came out
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with all these things against Kimberly Guilfoyle, going after donors
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for money and all. It was the Wall Street Journal
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: reporter that says apparently she placed a direct call to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Rupert Murdoch himself about the Wall Street Journal articles. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: she tried to get the stories removed. She tried to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: get that coverage to stop. Murdoch did not budge on that. Obviously,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. You can't pull stories out. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it's generally the rule at a place like that. You know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: if you're the owner, you can't really tell them to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: kill stories. Apparently, she tried to call Trump himself and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: plead her case. But a couple of people said Trump
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: would not take her call. So she's out. She's got
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to get out, clear out. It's a beautiful mansion in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Athens where the ambassador lived. Beautiful mansion, but she's got
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to clear all her stuff out, which included, believe it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: or not, portraits of herself on the walls. That's kind
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of Trump-like to put your own portraits of yourself on
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the walls. yourself on the walls. But Barry Weiss, boy,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: they're mad at her. The left wing, she's the new
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: CBS News president. Apparently, she pushed CBS reporters to investigate
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: El-Sayed's background. Well, the left is fuming. How dare she? Apparently,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: she even said it on those numerous daily editorial calls
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: where they discussed topics. How dare she do something like that? Well, actually,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it was a major topic in the news, his ties
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to the Muslim Brotherhood. He said he had nothing, never
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: heard of the Muslim Brotherhood. Then it turns out they
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: find his sister's old tweets, and she's a part of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood. That's his own family. Then he gave
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you that whole story about he didn't really know his sister.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: He hardly met her. And then the mother apparently had something.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: He said he wasn't raised by his mother. But again,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this is a major story. This is what you're supposed
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to investigate when something like that happens. And a guy
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: says he never met his sister. He didn't know his mother.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: This is where you investigate. It's normal, normal stuff in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the good old days of real journalism. You'd put a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: bunch of reporters on that immediately. So that's all she's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: doing is asking you to, Go back to the normal
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: journalistic standards. Hey, John Stewart, big new contract. You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel couldn't get a new contract. When his contract
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was up, contract time, normally you get three years, five years.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: They gave him no new contract. They refused to give
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: him a contract. They gave him an extension, a one-year extension.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's something you only do When you don't want somebody
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: or if the negotiations are stalled, you do a one-year
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: extension until you can get in it. But there were
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: no negotiations. They want him out. And it's different with
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Jon Stewart. They offered him a minute. Hang on. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: got to sneeze. Oh, it went away.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: There you go. You missed it. A great sneeze. But
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Jon Stewart only wanted two years. Now, you got to remember,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Jon Stewart is sort of half retired. Remember, he took
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a few years off from The Daily Show. And then
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he returned a couple of years ago. So he doesn't
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: want to work. He doesn't know how much longer he
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: wants to work. So he only would do two years.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: But they gave him a new two-year contract to not
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: only be the host once a week, but to produce
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week, executive producer. There's actual producers
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: doing it day to day, but he's the executive producer.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So new contract that goes through the 2028 election. The
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: network Comedy Central said, Jon Stewart is a generational talent.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: The Daily Show. continues to be one of the most
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: influential franchises on television. Well, I don't know if you
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: can claim that if you've got a tiny audience. The
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: audience is generally about 700,000 people. They're saying they reach
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a million over the year, but it's about 600,000, 700,000
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: people that see Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: don't think you can call that the most influential show
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: on television. You know, The Five on Fox... does about
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: 4.5 million every day. Greg Gutfeld on Fox does like
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: 3 million every night. So if you've got 600,000 viewers,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can call yourself the most influential
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: franchise on television. But that's press release talk. It's the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: kind of thing you say. Hey, Ukraine deserves a lot
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: of credit here. As we've been saying, Zelensky's been brilliant
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: in one thing. The Ukrainians have been brilliant They were
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: depending on us for weapons. They figured out how to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: make their own. They set up drone factories, missile factories.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: They not only made drones, they made the most state-of-the-art
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: drones beyond anything anybody's ever seen. They're turning them out
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: by the thousands. Well, earlier this week, and they deserve
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit for this, they had one of
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: their soldiers wounded in the battlefield. He was trapped behind
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: enemy lines. They rescued him. By drone. It was a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: drone evacuation. It was an amazing thing to watch. He
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: was surrounded on the ground by Russian kamikaze drones. The
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: terrain was mined all around. There was no way to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: get to this guy with soldiers. Ukraine sent in an
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: unmanned drone, a very serious, unbelievably advanced drone that came
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in with a big net. And it landed close to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the soldiers. It was surrounded by other Ukrainian drones to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: fight off the Russian drones. And the soldier managed to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: strap himself into the netting of the drone. The big
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: drone then lifted up the soldier and took him away.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: It was an absolutely amazing thing to watch. There's a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: video of it. The Ukrainian drones flanked this thing on
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: all sides, kept the other drones away. It was an
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant unmanned evacuation of this soldier. So they are
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: making a lot of great developments there in Ukraine that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: every country will soon be able to use. Hey, we'll
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. Also, we
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: like a lot of new callers. If you're a new caller, 800-321-0710.

  Speaker 6: Listen, Chris the Panic, and I.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Love what he calls. He's a great caller.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: But he was calling not too long ago. He was
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: so worried that they weren't doing anything with Omar. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: now he's got to be happy that things are going
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: his way.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: No, he's never happy. Loves to panic. Loves to panic.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: If you could tell him what they're doing with Omar,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: he goes, when? Why is it taking so long?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: When?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for calling. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Well, Mark, thanks for taking my call. Mark, I got
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: a quick question, and I hope you.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Got the answer.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Don't get your hopes up, but go ahead.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: But I'm keeping my fingers crossed, brother. With the election
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: coming up in New York, I'm going to go vote early,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: of course, for Bruce Blakeman and Lawler, excuse me, Is
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: somebody watching, you know, to make sure that, oh, my gosh, look,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: there's 200,000 votes. We forgot to count. Is somebody doing that?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't have much of a Republican Party here
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in New York. It was Democrats. They'd have poll watchers, lawyers,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and everybody studying every poll worker. We don't have much
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of that in New York. But you got to– there
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: is a lot of cheating. I know everybody denies it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But even the Democrats privately will admit they can cheat
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it by about 3%. You got to get enough votes
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to overcome the cheating. That's all. Just big turnout. And
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman wins. It's all about turnout. Everybody's got to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: go vote. It's two weeks from today. You're doing the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: early voting. When is that? When are you going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Saturday, sir.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Saturday.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: And I can't wait to cast my vote. And I
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: can't stand those negative. How can you even have a
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: negative commercial toward either Lawler or You people have run
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: this state for 16 years. Look where we are. Just
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: the mere fact, Mark, that we spent $ 8 billion on
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: people who are non-citizens. And by the way, one more point,
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: and thank you for being generous with your time. What's
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: happening in Europe, it's not really being brought. The only
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: place you really see it is on either Fox or
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Newsmax or with you. And this is when President Trump said,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: and he was right, and I hate to say it,
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: but he was right, meaning what he said, the enemy
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: of the people is the press.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, they've been horrible. You know, like the BBC,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: which used to be such a prestigious news organization, is
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: now totally corrupt. If you're watching the BBC coverage of
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: these riots, they actually said, mostly peaceful. These are mostly
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: peaceful protesters. Half of France has been burned down. The looting,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the robbery, the violence. Mostly peaceful, but that's the BBC nowadays. So, yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: get out and vote. You know what? You can do
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: early voting. Everybody go vote Saturday. If you can't do
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it during the week, vote Saturday. This Saturday, everybody go
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: vote for Bruce Blakeman. Vote for Mike Lawler. But especially Blakeman.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: If he becomes governor, everything will start to turn around
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and change. And that's a good point he made about
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Hochul complaining about affordability, complaining about this. Well, you're the one.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The Democrats have been running every single thing in New
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: York for 16 years. If there's anything wrong, they're to blame.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: They've been running everything. Let's go to Jacob in Denver, Colorado. Jacob,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Eleven states have the SAVE Act on their ballot, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: I have heard no polling on it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Well, if you do the polling, there is polling on it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Something like 72% are all for the SAVE Act and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: voter security, making sure that everybody is for that. It's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: just you can't get it done because the states are
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: controlled by many of them by very bad secretaries of
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: state who are in charge of the voting procedure. Now,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: there'll be a SAVE Act at some point. It's not
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: going to happen in the next two weeks, so it
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: won't be there for this election. Let's go to Sal
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: in Kismet. Sal, how you doing?
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark.
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: I have a comment about.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: The situation in France. The broken window theory comes into
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: play in this. If you allow the rioting to continue
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: to happen, it will just happen more and more.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. The broken window theory, you don't even
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: allow a broken window. As soon as the broken window,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you fix it. You don't allow anything, anything. You keep
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: your public spaces clean, orderly, and that's the problem in France.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Macron A typical French president doing absolutely nothing. The military
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: should have been called out immediately. Although I don't know
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: what the French military is capable of. He should have
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: been on the phone with President Trump asking for a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: real military to come in. Let's go to Tom in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Staten Island. Tom, how are you doing? How are you? Good.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Great show. Love to listen.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: You know, friends, you talked about chaos.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right?
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Well, Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 could take.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Care of that. There you go.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: For those of you under 90, what he's talking about,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: there was a TV show called Get Smart. Created by
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Mel Brooks, by the way. That was his TV show,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: his sitcom. And Maxwell Smart, Agent, the other one was,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the woman was 99, Barbara Feldman. Was it 86? I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: think Maxwell Smart was 86. The chief, the cone of silence.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And the organization, James Bond was fighting Spectre. So on
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Get Smart, he was fighting an organization called Chaos. One more.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Pete in Marlborough. Pete, how are you doing?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Very good, Mark. Thank you for taking my call. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: just want to ask, the Democrats, I got the $ 90 bill.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: you know, rebate for the Medicare. And then I was
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: online and I saw this woman say, oh, big deal.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: And then I said, well, since when did a Democrat
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: ever give you money? And she starts touting off back,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I think, in the 30s. I'm saying, well, if that's
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: the best you can do.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks for calling. Trump, $ 90
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to everybody on Medicare refund. He's talking about, was it
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: $ 1, 000 or $ 5, 000? I think he said $ 5, 000 for everybody
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: after the election. I don't know where that's going to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: come from. But you never know. You never know. He's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: about to bring in a couple of trillion in investment.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And from the tariffs, a couple of trillion will come in.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: So maybe he could do it. Elon Musk got a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: big giveaway. We'll get to that coming up. We'll get
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to the dean himself, the best political analyst. All these
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: questions you have about the midterms, we'll ask him. Ed
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Rollins coming up next. On 710WOR. More Mark.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Mark Simone.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: On 710WOR.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk to the dean himself, Ed Rollins. Nobody's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: run more campaigns, more successful campaigns, been involved in more
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: elections than Ed Rollins, and he knows everything about this stuff.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Ed Rollins, how you doing?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well, thank you. Good morning. Let me just
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: preface this, though.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody knows totally what's going on out there.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: We now have early voting already on. Obviously, it's a
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: very competitive, we've got four or five of these.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Senate races that are dead even.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I think when we began this premise, we assumed that
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Republicans were going to lose the House because traditionally you
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: lose in the midterms. No one thought the Republicans were
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: going to be challenged in the Senate.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: They certainly are, and I.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Think to a certain extent that's a lot of the
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: focus on two weeks from time. That's what we'll be
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: sitting up late at night waiting to watch.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Now let me ask you some questions that a lot
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: of listeners ask this kind of stuff.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Especially here in New York, it's a election day. You
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: go to the polls or even early. How do you know,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: we don't have much of a Republican party here. Is
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: there anybody watching the workers at the polls? So the,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: make sure the ballots are correctly.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you, you, you, you, you, you, an answer to
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: your question, not, not to satisfy you or me, uh,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: you know, you get some lawyers that volunteer all the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: time and.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Go out and look at it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Uh, but, but we don't, we don't have a strong organization.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Democrats have the labor unions. They have, you know, they,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: they've been through this process and they control a lot
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: of the mechanisms.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: But, uh, and we have very competitive race, hopefully for governor.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Uh, we don't know at this point, uh, but I
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: think Blakeman has made a good campaign here and we'll see,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: but everything else is, you know, pretty much, I just
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: did my absentee ballot yesterday and, and, uh, you know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: as a, as a lifelong Republican, it's not, not, I
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: couldn't find much to vote for after, after I checked
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Blakeman's name.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let's take Bruce Blakeman, for instance. He was like
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: 20 points behind. Now he's pretty close. It looks good.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: What the last, we're in the last two weeks. What,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: what do you do for a campaign when you're in
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks? What, what changes? What do you
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: do then?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Well, the critical thing is making sure your, your, your
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: workers are, are geared up.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: They're ready to go there. It's, it's all about getting
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: out the boat. Uh, and, And, you know, parts of
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: New York are very hard.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: The city itself with the apartments, you can't go knock
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: on doors and you can't take voters to the polls.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: But hopefully there's a structure that's going.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: To get voters out.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: You know, call them up, say, do you need a
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: ride to the polls?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Do you need this? Do you need that? But again,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: we don't have the organization. We don't have the labor unions.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: You can bet every labor union is.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Out there intensely on the other side. I think even
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: though Blakeman's got the cops endorsements and what have you.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: they don't go out and walk precincts. They don't, you know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: they give endorsements, but they don't do the mechanism.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: That organized labor has and other structures.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. The Democrats have an army out
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: there in New York to get people to vote.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: And they keep the army going, you know.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: When the election's over, it's a full-time job, and they hire.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Some of the best people.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: So the key thing here, I think, in this one,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you know, the Democrats may be more intensely Republicans have
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: more money. Are they spending it right? I don't know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I sit here in Upper East Side of New York
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and watch the thing from afar. I talk to people
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: around the country, and I can just tell you, everybody
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: is very worried about this race. And the key thing is,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: we don't know whether the president's helping us or not.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, what he is doing is he's dominating the media,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: as he always does. But is he talking about the
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: issues that we need to be talking about? And if
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I was the White House political director, which I was
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: many years ago, I'd be saying, we have a mission
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: to finish, Mr.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: President. Thank you for what you've done. We need a
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Republican majority.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: We need a Republican Senate majority, certainly, to continue to
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: finish the job.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: You haven't heard that conversation.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: What you've heard is all about, I did this, I
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: did that, I did this. It's all the stuff we've heard,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and I think to a certain extent it's not. I
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: see a lot of.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Energy going into these rallies and what have you, but
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of votes coming out of it. Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: But the New York city, the problem, uh, Republicans don't
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: have much of a party and all they got are
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: these Republican clubs and all they do is throw cocktail
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: parties and take pictures of them.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: So I, I agree.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: It's been, you know, it's been, it's been the same
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: chairman for a long time.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And, and, uh, the Manhattan chairman's been the same. And,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: you know, Ms.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Castormedes is a lovely young woman and she does the
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: best she can do to recruit candidates.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: But, you know, we, we, we've, we've not made progress.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: We don't, uh, uh, you know, it's just, and I
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: think if we, for some reason, don't win this governor's race, we've.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Got to tear this thing apart and figure out what
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: we want to do in the post-Trump period.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The Trump rallies, whatever's wrong with them, that's one thing,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: but they do use those to sign up, get the emails,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: get the phone numbers of everybody there. That's going to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: help because they can push them to go.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully, I don't know what the step is afterwards.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that goes back to you know, usually you
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: can't do much in the last two weeks of a campaign.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: You've got to be in place and you've got to
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: have everything ready.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: And I think to a certain extent, you know, when
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: you look at, you know, probably every predictor is predicting
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: anywhere from 15 to 25 seats that we're going to
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: lose in the House. Are we fully in those 25 seats?
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: That's the key that I need to know and I
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: don't know. In the Senate races, you know.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: We've got Alaska, Iowa.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: We've got seats we should never have ever been competitive.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Alaska's been ours for a long time. Iowa's been ours
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: for a long time. Maine has been ours for a
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: long time. Michigan has been ours for a long time.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: And now we're going to fight for all of us.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: And North Carolina's gone, and that race is always ours.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: And South Carolina, where Lindsey Graham has been for a
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: long time, is just not a good candidate. She may
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: win it, I hope she does, but she's not a
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: good candidate. And Kansas, my goodness.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: You know, we haven't had a Democrat win the Kansas
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: Senate race since the 20s. When you're worried about Kansas, Iowa, Texas,
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: and Alaska and South Carolina, then you.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Know you've got a tough year.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: We may get it, but it's just a lot of
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: concerns I have, and I think the professionals all have, too.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I want you to explain something to people because you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: run a lot of campaigns. And actually, the last time
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: we had a billionaire trying to run for president was
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Ross Perot. You ran that campaign. Everybody always, you know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: they'll yell and scream. You got to tell Trump to
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: stop doing this. Tell him to stop saying this. Tell
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: him to explain to people. You can't tell. anybody like
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: that to stop doing something. Can you?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, you can't.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: And, and, and Trump, Trump has, you can go back
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: to what he was in New York.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: He's the same, same man.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: He's the same, you know, a lot more experienced than
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: a national forum, but he believes in himself and his
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: people around him.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Basically, are not going to walk in and.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Say, uh, Mr.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: President, you shouldn't do this. Mr.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: President, you're going to go here whether you want to
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: or not. Trump's going to do what Trump wants to do.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: That's just the reality of it. And it's, uh, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: anybody who stands in his way or tries to change
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: his mind is going to happen.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, you must've gone through that with Ross Perot. He
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: was a very successful.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Well, he, he, and he didn't know anything about politics and,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: you know, uh, There was a period in time when
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I was first running the campaign where he was ahead.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: He was at 39% of the poll, and Bush and
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Clinton were behind him.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: He could have been a viable candidate, but he chose
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: to not do the things that you need to do.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: You've got to run a campaign, and there's three major
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: things in a campaign.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: One is you've got to have a district you can
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: win in or a state you can win in. Second,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: you have to have a candidate who is a good candidate,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: and you've got to run a good campaign. If you
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: have those three things, you can win. If you don't have,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: you're missing one of those along the line. If you
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: have an overwhelmingly Democrat district, you're not going to win it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: New York, you know, going down the ballot here yesterday, there's,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: you know, for 25 years I've looked for people to
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: vote in this city because I'm Republican.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: There aren't many. There aren't many.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ed Rollins, I'm trying to remember, what happened to
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Reagan in the midterms? Did he lose both houses?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: No, we held the Senate. We lost the Senate the
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: second time.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: What happened is we had a big victory in 1980.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: We got up to 192 seats, which was a big gain.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: And then the Democrats took reapportionment, and they redid it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: So we lost 14 seats in the 1982 cycle. And
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: then basically we held the Senate until 1986, and then
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: we lost in 2007.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, of course, 84, you ran that campaign. That
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: was the most successful presidential campaign ever, Reagan re-election. You
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: could have had 50 states. You deliberately gave up Minnesota,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: didn't you?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't spend any effort there.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I gave the chairman, who was Congressman Weber, a good guy,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I gave him $ 10, 000 to open a headquarters. Never spent
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: a penny. Went there one last day of the campaign.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: We went to the airport and stood there for 15 minutes.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: And the president wasn't anxious. The president wasn't greedy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to embarrass Mondale.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: If I knew it was that close, I'd have still
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: gone in and I could have won it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but basically he didn't want to embarrass Mondale, so
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: he let him have his own.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: He didn't want to embarrass Mondale, and we lost it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: A shift of 1,700 votes would have won it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: For those of you young people, there was a thing
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: back then called courtesy in an election.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: And the other thing, other things, we never ran a
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: negative campaign.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a negative campaign on our side at all.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: And it was all.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: About what we had done and kind of a feel-good campaign.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: And the only negative campaign, as Mondale said in the convention,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to raise your taxes.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Reagan isn't. And we ran that campaign. We just repeated
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: his message. So that's the only negative thing we did.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that was the all-time greatest campaign. But Ed Rollins,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: brilliant as always. Thanks for being with us. We'll do
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it again soon.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: My pleasure. Take care.
• 33:20
