  Speaker 4: El Trompito endorsed the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: the Big Senate race, the big runoff that was going on,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: and lo and behold, El Trompeito got it right. He won.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Matter of fact, he's four for four. Everybody that he
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: chose happened to win. He's got an incredible record of
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: victory with this stuff. This twenty twenty sixth season, he
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: is killing the game. But I've got a clip from
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: the CNN data scientist Harry Enton that I think sums
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: it up well. I'm going to play it in a moment,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: and then in a little bit we're gonna hear from
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: our own chief data scientist here at the Rich Veldes Show.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: This is America. His name John McLaughlin. Polster to President Trump,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Polster to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and so many others.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: John McLaughlin will be joining us to discuss exactly what
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: happened to give us a post mortem on this action
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: that occurred last night in Texas. Do you runoff? But
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: there's a bunch I want to get into, right, because
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: there's really a bunch of things every day, there's a
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: few different moving parts. Right, We're going to get into Texas.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: We're going to get into Trump's record on this. Plus
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: there is a new test for marijuana and in five
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: or six other drugs. It's a saliva swab, and the
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: cops can do it right there on the side of
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: the road and they'll know in a minute. First those
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: five minutes now they're saying they could do it in
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: a minute. They'll know if you are high as a kite,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: if you are stoned and behind the wheel. Watch out.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: We're going to get into that in about twenty or
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: twenty five minutes, So you got to stick with me
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: for that one. Plus we're going to get into open
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: phone America. Open phones across America is one of my
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: favorite things to do on this program. So if you
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: want to sound off and have your opinion heard, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: know what to do. Call the number eight seven seven
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Valdes one, leave a voice note. We will put it
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: into the show and you will have your voice heard.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: And we're going to do that. And this new police
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: wrote side drug test saliva swab. We're gonna be talking
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: about that, Like I said, about twenty five minutes or so,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: maybe a half hour. But first I want to get
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: into the big win in Texas because everybody was confused, right,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and I gotta tell you I wasn't so confused. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: felt that Trump had this, and I think I said
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: that on previous episodes. If you're listening every day, you
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: know exactly what I'm talking about. Trump is doing his thing.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: If you're talking about a Republican primary, the last guy
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I want to run against is Donald Trump. This guy
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: knows how to win. This guy knows how to fill
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: stadium after stadium after stadium. Everybody and their mama is
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: trying to get his endorsement. So when I heard that
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Senator John Cornyn, who I am no fan of, was
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: given the opportunity by Attorney General Paxton when he said, listen,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I will go ahead and drop out of this. If
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Senator Cornin signs the Save Act, which provides requirements for
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: id when voting, imagine that he would have guaranteed won
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the election. All he had to do was agree to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: vote for this thing. But nope, he didn't do it,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and he's out. Like Trump says in the rallies, get
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: him out, get him at anyway. CNN data scientist Harry Enton,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: who again big left wing network, but when it comes
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to breaking down the numbers, he's pretty good at it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And I think he's a closet fan of Donald Trump's
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: my opinion, listened to this of.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Course before, of course the endorsement came down. But look
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: at this, fifty five percent of Texas Republicans said they
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: would be more likely to vote for the candidate that
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: he endorsed, versus just thirty six percent who said no impact.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Just nine percent said that that'd be less likely to
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: vote for the candidate endorse The bottom line is this
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: what Donald Trump wants, he almost always gets in Republican
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: primaries because when you see numbers like this, fifty five
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: percent of Republicans in Texas say they're going to be
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: more likely to vote for whoever he endorses, and that
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: of course being kem Pax and it's no one of
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: the President's so confident.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Well, we're seeing this over and over and over again
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: in primaries. Even though people look and go, well, his approvalatings,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter to those who are the core voters
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: who are maga all the way. You're seeing it play
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: out again and again. Where do the prediction markets put
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: the Texas Senate runoff post Trump endorsement?
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you see this fifty five percent right there, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: then it is no wonder in the caucure prediction market.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: All right, what's going on here? Is this the deep state?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Talk to me?
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I mean you could just see the movement towards Ken
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: ranks and look at this, A Monday had a sixty
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: six percent chance of winning. Up like a rocket, right
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: up like a rocket, ninety five percent, Houston. If you are,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: in fact John Cornyn, you have a big problem. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: if you're KEM Pax and you have a big time solution.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Two thumbs up, as the President likes to say, right now,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the causure prediction market giving two thumbs up to the
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: idea that Ken Paxton is in fact.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Going to be the Republican nominee. This prediction market, so
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: we'll pause that there. I spoke with Ken Paxton, I'd
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: say about two months ago. I think it was end
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: of March. I was in Houston, No, Dallas, I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I was in Dallas, Texas at the Sea Pack in
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Dallas in Grapevine, Texas, and had a conversation with him
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and my fellow liberty loving Latino Chris Salcedo. And the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: enthusiasm that Ken Paxton had was great. I mean, he
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: was well received in the conference. The strawhole at the
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: conference had him winning by sixty two or sixty three
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: percent of the vote. Guess what he won by sixty
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: three percent of the vote to Cornin's thirty seven percent
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: of the vote. I think they call that where I
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: come from a trouncing. Actually, where I come from, we
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: don't use the word trouncing, but I do believe that's
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: what it's called. And let me tell you, this was
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: a big electoral win, zero doubt in the mind. Now,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: this brings me back to a couple of weeks ago,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: and I shared this with you already, but I'm just
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: gonna add to it. I was with a group of
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: people in Puerto Rico at a great networking event following
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: the Seapac Puerto Rico or I guess the second day
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: of Seapac Puerto Rico, just a few days back, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: we could go too right, And there's a young man
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: there who's actively involved in politics in DC, and he
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: was kind of like, look, I like Trump. I'm maga,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: but I like Rand Paul, I like Thomas Massey, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: like Tucker Carlson. I like that anti establishment part of
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: this movement because those are the things I believe in.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I believe that, you know, we shouldn't have forever wars,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: and we shouldn't do this, and we shouldn't do that,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: you know, usual stuff that you that populist wing of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the party talks about. And I said, well, I can
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: tell you right now. Well no, He actually turned to
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: me and he said, and you used to work for
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Mark Levin, so is it safe to say that you
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: agree with all that stuff? And I laughed and said yes,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: if by all that stuff you mean I support Israel. Sure,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: And he didn't say anything that he was pro er against.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: But what was interesting was that seems to be the
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: defining issue these days, and for that group right, it's like,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: we don't want forever worse because they are truly cut
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: from the Bernie Sanders cloth. Why they ended up with Trump,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what brings you over
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: to the conservative side, but I understand that you have
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: conservative leaning populists and you have liberal or progressive leaning populists.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: But ultimately their anti establishment agenda is not like my
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: anti establishment agenda, where I'm all for dismantling the government
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: and I'm not here to be mad at anybody. I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: just saying leave me alone. But I understand when we
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: have to do things right when you got a flex.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: When Marco Rubio says, the straight of hor Moves is
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: going to be opened up one way or the other,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: we're going to get to this. Whether it's true diplomacy
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: or through brute strength, we're going to end this war.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I believe him because he's he's giving all the options,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: giving every opportunity. And that's what Trump does every single time,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: whether it looks like that or not, when he's out
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: there saying, come on, senator, going and past the save Act,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: come on Thomas Massy.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Oh he's the worst.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Oh he's He's giving him a chance for him to
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: turn it around. Instead, Massey wants to make his phone
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: calls whenever he did the other day, and we talked
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: about that already. But when he said, I tried to
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: call my opponent, mister Gollrain, but you know he was
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: busy in Tel Aviv or something like that, right again
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: saying that this guy is a an op detive of
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: the Jews or of Israel, the Israel lobby and again
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: sore loser move right, but he wants to stay on
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: that that that pedestal that he's gotten for himself. Guy
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: did fourteen years in Congress and only took him five minutes.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I'll go with fourteen minutes of going against the strongest
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Republican in the Republican Party, the leader of the Republican Party.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Done all this, magnus Et Trompzo, and now he's out.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Get him out, folks, Get him out. So the bottom
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: line here is Trump has an amazing record in this
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six primary season. He hasn't missed the beat.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: He hasn't missed the beat. Listen to this. One hundred
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: and eighteen candidates, every single one of them undefeated in
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six primaries so far. This is in the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: post millennial right and Fox News. All right, let's see here.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: First of all, he's got one hundred and one candidates
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: for the United States House of Representative one and one
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: that he endorsed, one hundred and one that were elected
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and won their races. Eight candidates for governor, eight candidates endorsed,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Eight candidates won their elections. United States Senate nine candidates
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: were endorsed, nine candidates won their elections. Pretty remarkable stuff, right,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: This is not just about Ken Paxton. To me, this
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: is really the big deal here is Donald Trump. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: this is not me fan girling over Trump. This is
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: me just really drawing attention to the fact that they're
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: winning off of his cot tails. They're winning off of
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: the movement, the vision that he's created, the excitement that
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: he's created, the fact that he says, I'm coming to
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: New York. And you know, like I said a couple
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: of days ago, was in the event with the President,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: and the energy in that room was I mean, it
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: was amazing. People love President Trump as much as they
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: hate him. I guess I think it's even more so
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: they love them. Really is wild. But these candidates just
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: keep winning. And let me see if there's another piece
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: of this I wanted to share with you, because he's
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: got a pretty good record here. Let me see there
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: was something else I wanted to share from this particular article.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: But anyway, bottom line is Antrompito is crushing it, absolutely
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: crushing it electorally. And when people say, oh, but what
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: about this and what about that? I will concede one point.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: The price of beef is too high and gas prices
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: need to come down. Gas prices he can do like
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: every president before him and release barrels from the strategic reserve.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: But guess what may not need to why we just
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: saw five percent drop in crude oil crude oil prices.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: This is according to CNBC. Now, this is Marco Rubio
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: saying the US will give Iran every chance to succeed.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: We just saw five percent dip and oil prices. Secretary
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: of State Rubio said talks with Iran have made some
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: progress and the US will give diplomacy, excuse me to
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: diplomacy every chance to succeed. However, Rubio said that President
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Trump has other options if talks don't work, and a
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: parent reference to renewed military strikes. And as we know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: just a couple of nights ago, they were stalling and
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: we hit him on the southern tip of Iran kind
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: of wake them up, say all right, come on, this
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: is in a violation of cease fire. This is just
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: in Spanish. They would say, though they ghetto right, they
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: hit him with the thought they getto stick. Yeah, the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: chill right there stick anyway. Oil prices falling today Wednesday,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: after Secretary of Rubio said that we would give this
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: an opportunity. Barrels of oil were at ninety four dollars
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: and twenty nine cents closing at eighty eight dollars and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: sixty eight cents, a five percent drop. And again this
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: is part of the cabinet meeting that happened earlier. Marco Rubio,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: the Secretary of State, who's doing a bang up job.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: By the way, if I could take a minute to
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: give you a commercial for Mark Rubio. He delivers his
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: reports in such a succinct way. He's the type guy
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: that you understand he's not playing right, and he's very
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: distinct from Trump, very different from Trump. He's just as
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: direct as Trump, he's probably just as charming, maybe just
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: about as funny, but there's a different push pull with
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: him where he's more convincing and he's more magnetic. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: would say, right, I think that's why Trump says, all right,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: that's it. You keep doing that, I'm gonna have to
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: get rid of, right, because at the end of the day,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think Trump has the bully pulpit that perhaps because
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Marco is not president, doesn't have that type of cachet,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: but Trump does. And the fact that he's got the
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: codes and the buttons and this and that, and ultimately
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: it's this is this is his to lose, right, Trump's
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: holding all the cards and he's engineered a wonderful, wonderful
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: chess game here. So anyway, that's the big news on
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: oil over here and bottom line here. Like Marco Rubio said,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: the United States prefers the diplomatic route, and they want
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: to give diplomacy every chance to succeed. But if the
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Iranians want to continue to play their games and say, look,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: we're just gonna keep stalling so that we can buy
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: time so that Trump will be gone, right, all we
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: gotta do is try and buy some time for a
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: year or two. Talk about a deal. We'll talk about
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: a twenty four month deal. How about no pursuit of
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: nukes while you're here, Trump, how about that? Right? They're
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: hoping that Trump is going to be he's gonna turn
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: eighty in a week or two, and that maybe he'll
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: go away, But as long as he's around, he's gonna
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: keep killing them every time they mess around. So we're
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: gonna keep our finger on the pulse of what's going
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: on internationally. Like I said, straight ahead my conversation with
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: President Trump's polster John McLaughlin, we're gonna talk about everything
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: from Tallarico, the gentleman from the left that is running
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: against Ken Paxton, to everything else that happened in the
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: last night and the four different elections that occurred in Texas.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Plus I want to get into this conversation on this
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: new test that's come out. The police in New York
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: and Long Island are testing it out where they swab
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: your cheek a little saliva swab, and they'll know if
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: you have popped a percocet, smoked the blunt whatever. They
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: will know if you are smoking the reefer. And I
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: think that's absolutely wild, considering well, considering a lot of things.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: We'll get into that when that time comes. Plus open
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Phone America, all of that is coming up and more,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Childez, this.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Is America, this is America. He's brown, he's bald, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he's breaking it down.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I still had some what's his pay? Rich Valdas.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: So Attorney General Kemp Pax then defeating John Corny in
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: the Texas primary with the help of President Trump's endorsement.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: I trust the voters of Texas and they've made their decision,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: and I much respected.
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: President Trump is the leader of our party and his
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: endorsement is the most powerful force in politics. Without a
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: shadow of a doubt. I will be the democrats number
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: one target November. Texas will be the radical lefts number
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: one priority. But if there's one thing I know about
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: Texans is that we're not going to let them take it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Okay, So Paxton will now face Democrat James Tallerico in November,
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: who has been facing back last for his far left
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: US agenda.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: All right, I mean, yeah, welcome back as Rich Valdez,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: keeping your company, and I want to bring in somebody
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: who knows this stuff like nobody's business. John McLoughlin Polster too,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: bb net and Yahoo. Polster to President Trump, he knows
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: how to pick a winner. And it looks like President
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Trump knows how to pick a winner too, with everybody
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: that he endorsed in Texas bringing home a victory. John McLoughlin,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Welcome back, Rich, Pleasure be back you bet so. I
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: want to get into this because you always have a
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: good way of, you know, understanding the politics of this,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: but really breaking down the numbers, right, because that's ultimately
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: what you and your brother do. You guys are our
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: numbers guys at McLaughlin and McLachlan Associates, And I think
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: this is an interesting case.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: You know, we had talked a little bit, and I
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: was telling you my gut on this was that President
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Trump was going to be successful in who he picked.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I also, I was in Texas. I spoke briefly with
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Paxton maybe end of March, and he had a lot
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: of enthusiasm and it seemed like that was where it's
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: going to be. But I'm very biased, maybe like you,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: maybe like others that are watching the show. I've never
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: liked John Cornyn. I've always thought he was bad, right,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: He's always been the problem him, Mitch McConnell. I mean,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: there was a whole cadre of these people. So I
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: think that one by one, you know, making America great
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: again by eliminating rhinos was a big step in the
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: right direction. Take it wherever you want to go.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean to we were not we were neutral
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: in this race. We were not involved. We were heavily
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: involved with the Trump superpack and getting rid of Congress
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: from Massey in Kentucky a week ago. Because he was not.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Let's unpack that one again, because that was another one
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: where I was at. This is a very interesting story.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I was in Puerto Rico recently for the Seapack first
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: ever SEAPAC conference in Puerto Rico, and I was speaking
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: with some folks there and they were saying, look, I
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: don't know Thomas Massey really represents what a lot of
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: us joined MAGA four. You know, no forever wars, no
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: more spending, this that you know, pushing back. And I said,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know how Maga Massy's messages when he is
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: going against the President every opportunity he has. So I
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: guess let's talk about that about the Trump super Pack
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: and the effort that went in there, because that was
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: a lot of money spent and a lot of effort.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Well, they couldn't They have a narrow majority of the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: House and they couldn't count on them. I mean, when
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: you talk about the rhetoric, yes, President Trump stands for
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: all that he's not into Forever awards. But on the
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: other hand, he told Irain they're not going to have
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapons when he's president, and they continued to make
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I mean Iran. We took a poll last month where
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: it's on our website mcglocklinline dot com, where sixty one
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: percent of all voters in the country thinking for Rain
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: had a nuclear weapon that would use it against the
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: United States and our allies. Only twenty percent disagree, so
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: you've got a huge number. Plus. They also think Trump
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: should finish the job with the ran because they've been
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: a war with US for forty seven years. So sixty
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: to thirty people. Americans don't like to go to war,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: but if you're going to attack us, we want to
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: be safe and secure, and that's what the President has
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: to do. But Thomas Massey last year when President Trump
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: needed him, not just to vote for the Trump tax cuts,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: which were you know, no tax on tips, over time
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: senior citizens, tautiful, when he needed those tax cuts, which
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: if they lapsed, you would have had an automatic tax
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: increase of seventeen yard dollars on every American. The Democrats
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: wanted those tax cuts to lapse so they could have
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: a tax increase. Massey wouldn't vote with the Republicans. Massey
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: didn't vote for the border war, didn't he voted he
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: voted to allow transgender surgeries. There's a lot of votes
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: where he wasn't voting with President Trump and the Republicans
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: on popular issues that are that are core to us.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Granted he would say sure on pro life, on pro
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Second Amendment. But you can't bail out on us when
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: we need your vote to get important legislation passed about
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: securing the border and building the wall, stopping tax increases,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: et cetera. I mean at some point that that libertarian
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: circle goes full and your voting with the Democrats, your
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: vote with Schumer, you vote with King Jefferies. So although
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: he was there for fourteen years and although he did
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: have a following, you know, President Trump, we won by
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: ten points, and you know the at gold Ryan will
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: be the next congressman from Kentucky four. So you had
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a similar situation here in Texas where you know, they
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: both were running about even in the primary.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: And before we get to Texas, I just want to
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: do one follow up with you, because you know, the
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: conversation I had with the guy in Puerto Rico was
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: that and I said, I think Trump's going to win.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: I'd say that gall Ring was going. I said, I
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: think Trump is going to win, and he's gonna win
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: by ten And the guy said, well, ten isn't that
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: big of a win. I said, I think a double
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: digit winn it is a huge win. I don't know
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: what you're talking about, he said, well, if he does win,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: it'll be by little And the point I bring this
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: up is I believe that everything you said made a
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: lot of sense. I think voters realized we still believe
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: in the make America Great Again agenda, America First agenda.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: We like the big beautiful bill, we like no tax
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: on tips, we like no tax on overtime. We'd like
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: it to go even further, and voters didn't want what
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Massy was offering. I also think that by and large, when.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: You do a.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Survey, and I don't know if you have or haven't,
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: but to me, it seems that most people don't hate
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: the Jews. While there is a lot of Jew haters
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: out there, I think that most people, at least in MAGA,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: the Republican Party of the Conservative movement, they're not anti Jew,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Whereas I think there's a small number of people that
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: really seem to be against the Jews, and they seem
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: like they're loud and they're the majority, but in fact
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I think they're quite a minority.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: You are, no, I totally agree. And you know what, Ironically,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the strongest support is Israel in the United States are
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Evangelical Christians, and so because they understand that when Iran
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: gets done, you know, like going after Israel, they're coming
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: for us. So you've got radical Islam, and they are
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: strongest ally in the Middle East against Radical Islam, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: they certainly have been annihilating Christians, and they would want
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: to annihilate Israel, but they really want to annihilate the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: United States. So the standport for Congressman Massius, he got
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: caught up in this anti semitism, and anti Semitism doesn't
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: play well in the Republican Party, it doesn't play well
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: in America with the vast majority of Americans. But it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: out there. It's a reality. And whether you're follower Zora
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Mandami in Brooklyn who is protesting outside synagogues because you
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: want Jewish you know, people to leave New York City,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: or you're Thomas Massey saying that ed goal Ryans and
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: tel aviv I mean, that kind of anti Semitism is
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: just uncalled for. It's stupid, it's just it just doesn't
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: have a place in America. The real reality here is
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: it's about the issues. It's about making America great again.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: It is about President Trump passing his issue. And President
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Trump has a solid base that he's proven in these
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: primaries because he has stayed loyal to his base on
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: the issues. So as we jump to Texas. When you
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: look at Texas, they were both even roughly going into
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: the into the primary, headed for the runoff, both Attorney
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: General Paxton and Senator to Cornyon. And Paxton cleverly, very
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: smartly said, if they passed to Save America Act, which
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: would require you know, voter ID, no citizen proof, cisenship
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: to vote, to register to vote, and it would restrict
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: mail and balance so that you wouldn't have this cheating.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Attorney General Paxton, who has been an election integrity supporter
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: of the President Trump, said if they if the US
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Senate passes, that Congress passes that where President Trump wants
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: and what the American people want, he would get out
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: of the race. Senator Cornyn's in leadership, they couldn't pass it,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: and we have polls. I have a poll this month,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: and he knew that. Well, no, Senator Cornyn should have
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: passed it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Well, you should have, but I think I think they
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: knew Cornyan wasn't going to do it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Well, and Packson it was cool, as I said, clever
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: on his part, but you don't really know, I mean
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the Senate if they got the votes together, the fifty
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: three Republican senators that you know, you would not get
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: a Democrat vote because they're all into non citizens.
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: Voting, tear into open borders, allowing illegal immigrants to vote.
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: They're into all sorts of nonsense that question that that
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: undermine our democracy. But but he but you know, when
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: you look at it, I had a Paul, I mean
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: the two point and patriots. This poll that we just
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: have out the idea of not allowing citizens to vote,
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: Eighty three to nine Americans are in favor of that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: Last month, when we asked it, do you have to
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: have proof of US citizenship? It was seventy seven to eighteen.
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: Do you need photo ID to voter early in person
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: absentees it's seventy five to twenty one Americans overwhelmingly big numbers.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: This was in the Republican platform when Trump was nominated
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: again in Milwaukee. This has been high and air agenda
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: for all Republicans, and the US Senate has bottled us
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: up because they want to defend the filibuster. And it's
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: ironic as Talla Rico, the Democrat candidate for US Senate,
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: wants to get rid of the filibuster. But here we
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: are protecting it so the Democrats can get rid of it.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: And in the meantime, when we asked last month a
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: thousand likely voters across the country, a couple of weeks ago,
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: we asked them, you are you in favor of passing
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: the Saving America Act with those with those provisions voter
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: id proof, csenship, et cetera. Or do you think we
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: need it's more important to defend the filibuster. Fifty six
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: to twenty eight the majority of Americans said passed the
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: same America Act. Only twenty eight percent said defend the filibuster. So,
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: you know, the Republicans who should be really worried about
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: winning in November in the mid terms, if you don't
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: get things done, then Trump voters won't come out for you,
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: they won't support you again. I mean, I mean, Attorney
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: Generald Paxton won that primary with President Trump's support two
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: to one blowout, not even close.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: And just to say, you think it's really issues based,
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: agenda issues based, not Trump being on the ballot or
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Trump showing up to campaign.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: He's our leader, but those are his issues, This is
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: his agenda. I was with President Trump. As you mentioned,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I've advised him since twenty eleven. In twenty sixteen, when
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: he was trying to figure out how to beat Hillary Clinton,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: it was all about the issues I mean, I mean,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: and the key part of the coalition is it's about
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: working class voters. Because over the summer in twenty sixteen,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: he says to me, all these media polls have me
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: losing to Hillary Clinton. How are we going to win?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I said, you know, you're gonna win by maxing out
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: the anti Hillary vote. You're going to siphon up the
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: libertarian vote from Gary Johnson, which he did, and then
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you're going to bring new voters into the process because
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: only so many people wanted to vote for Mitt Romney.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, a lot of Republicans walked away from that
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: election in twenty twelve.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: And I think the Republican Party died in twenty twelve,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: and it was on life support. And Trump came and
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: gave it CPR and gave it new life.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: We had nine million more voters vote in twenty sixteen
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: than they did in twenty twelve. Wow. And if you
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: compare it now to twenty twenty four, when you had
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: to hire fifty five million voters. That's twenty five million
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: more voters then showed up in twenty twelve. So when
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: you look at that, he's created this party. He's our
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: blue collar billionaire. He's the leader of this working class party.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: He has transformed the Republican Party from a country club
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: party into the party of the working classes. They often
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: say the caddies are now running the country club under
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, and the establishment doesn't like it. But so
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: what it's like they haven't succeeded in the country, and
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: it's about the issues. Trump's bringing jobs back to America.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: He's cutting taxes, he's trying to grow our economy. He
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: wants to keep us secure. He's closing the borders. He's
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: trying to keep criminals out, deporting criminal legal immigrants, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: at the same time, he's trying to make sure that citizenship.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: You know, if you came here and did it right,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: your citizenship should matter. Trump's mother was a Scottish immigrant,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: So he's in favor of legal immigration. There's no doubt
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: about it that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and his wives have been immigrants right right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Legal legally and uh yep, and so uh so so
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: we support that. So it's it's really about the issues,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and he's our leader for this agenda. That's that's gonna
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: make America great again. That's going to bring our country back.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: That's made us the strongest country in the world. And
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: we're the ones who have a growing economy, not like China,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: not like Europe where it's flat. Uh, we're growing our
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: economy and we're going to lead the you know, the
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: world out of this inflation uh, you know, inflation crisis.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: And at the same time, he's keeping terrorists like Iran
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: back in the box and not letting them get nuclear weapons.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: So uh yeah, so he's done what he said.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Johnny Black, I want to pause right here. We're gonna
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: take a quick break. We're going to come right back.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about a little bit about the
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: impact of Iran. I want to talk about Tall Rico
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: because I think that's an interesting scenario, and I also
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: want to talk about the moving forward with a lot
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: of interesting races Spencer Pratt as well as, uh the
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: framing of the Republican Party as a bunch of supporters
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: or protectors of pedophiles. That seems to be the new
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: stretch used to be. You know, Orange Man Bad is
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: peeing on Russian hookers. Now they have a new line
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: of crap that they're shoveling. So we're gonna get to that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: At the moment he goes, we're coming right back. Keep
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: it locked right here, coming back with our guy. John McLaughlin,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: polster extraordinaire from McLaughlan Associates. Don't go anywhere.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: This is America. This is America.
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: to speak with rich Valdez.
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: Oh, very good.
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: The honor is all yours, conservative talk with a dash
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: of sofrito. Now here is Rich Valdez, all.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean, he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: your company. I am here again with our guests. We're
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: bringing him back in John McLaughlin. He is the head
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: of McLachlan Associates. His brother Jim Grake. I actually just
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: saw Jim by the way at Sea Pack in Texas.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: And you guys are always active with your straw poles.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Where Paxton won the straw pole at DC Pack in Texas,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: which was really good. Now, John McLaughlin has been a
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: polster to bb Net and Yahoo, to Tea Party Patriots,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: to President Trump, who I like to call donaldis Magnus
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: el Tropito, and he's a good New Yorker from the Bronx. John.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I want to talk a little bit about tall Ico now,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: because now that Paxton's won in Texas, we have this
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: guy who I want to say, he's like a pseudo
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Christian Mamdani, right, he's out there. He talks about Jesus
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: in every sentence, and it's very un christ Like in
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: my own opinion of what he's saying. He seems to
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: embrace the hardest left wing, far left policies and make
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: them seem like, you know, like that's the right way
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: to do it, and like we're all wrong. What do
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: you think about Tallarico and his ability to win in
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: a red state like Texas?
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I think he's the latest dei Democrat because the
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Democrats realized they got crushed by young men, particularly the
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: less election. Trump attracted them in the twenty four election
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and we did so much better with young men, et cetera,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: and the Democrats they decided, well, let's find this guy
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: who's who's a white, young male or younger male. But
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: the problem is he has all these these these radical
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: policies wrapped into who he is, and he can't run
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: from his history. In fact, the Senate Committee, i think,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: just put out a two minute ad with all his
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: bizarre stuff where he's he absolutely believes in gender ideology.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: So he's in favor of they them, and he's not
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: in favor of us. He wants to he wants some
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: abortion right. He's pro abortion, of course, but he also
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: wants to reduce meat consumption, which doesn't play well in Texas.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: He's probably for all the Green New Deal stuff. And
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: so you've got a radical Democrat running as Okay, sure
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: he may be a Christian, but his brand of Christianity
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: is when you start telling people God's non binary, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: you know, he believes that there's six genders and he
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: has all these other ratit. You know, a lot of
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: times he's wearing these masks like that, like we're still
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: in a COVID lockdown. I mean, it's not gonna play
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: well in Texas. Now. He's a weird guy, and so
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna play well in Texas. So we pulled
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: in Texas for President Trump at twenty sixteen, in twenty
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: twenty in the campaign last time, it wasn't even in play.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: But he's yeah, I can assure you he's not going
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: to play well in Texas. And the other part is
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the other part is Hispanic voters are not going to
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: vote for.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: This, even even liberal Hispanics don't like those things. I
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: have an interesting question for you, because you know, most
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Republicans for years they would say, ah, that's a deep
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: plus three district. Now we're not spending any money there.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Yet the Democrats, they're happy to spend all the money
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: in the world in Texas. Where's the difference in this philosophy.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: They're always willing to go into the reddest of areas
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: and take in Austin for themselves and try and take
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: this city in San Antonio and there, little by little,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: they'll take every city they can get. Why don't Republicans
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: play this game?
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. It's like it was like I
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: I you know, you know me, and it's like I
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: still do a lot of polic in New York. I
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: still do a lot of polling in California. I do
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: polling in blue states. I think the best Republicans are
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: the ones who can win in areas with and I
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: expected to win now. I used to kid my friend
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Carl Rove because Carl when he worked for President George W.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Bush and they had us work for them for Bush
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Cheney in two thousand and four. After nine to eleven,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I was like, you ought to try to win in
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: New York because at the time we had like a
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: in two thousand and three Trump, I mean not Trump Bush,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: but had done so much for New York after nine
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: to eleven. He had a fifty six favorable which and
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: we had George Patakia's governor. And I was like, you
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: should try to win in New York. And because we
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: were talking about the convention, and ultimately I said, you
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: have to have the convention in New York because it
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: shows we've come back after nine to eleven, and plus
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: you had a terrorist threat. So I'm like, you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: the New York City PD is better capable than Tampa.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: They were designed between Tampa and New York. I said,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: you're better with NYPD. They did have the convention in
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: New York. Yeah, but he didn't try to win New
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: York and I said, you know, I used to say
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: to him, you don't do away games. You need to
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: do away games to be really good. If you keep
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: winning on your home turf where people expect you to win,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: you'll have a majority, which they did. They won fifty
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: one percent of the vote. They beat John Carry when
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of the Poles said that Carry was going
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: to win. They started that nonsense back then. But Donald
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Trump tries to win everywhere he does.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: It's funny, even when the party wasn't investing any money. Right,
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: he did a rally in the Bronx in Kratona Park,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: of all places, South Bronx.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: Then then he did the bo they gotta stop in
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: the Bronx, the barbershop stop in Manhattan.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: I thought this was remarkable. That Square Garden, Oh, that
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: was terrific. It's like and it was like he you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: he but he'll go to California. He tried to help
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: the people with the Palisades fires. He will, he will
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: go into the Blue States. He's trying to help the
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: people of Chicago. You got this crime, and you've got
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: you've got you know, as recently, this this young woman
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: who's from Yorktown. And guess who else was from Yorktown.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: But I'll tell you after the terrible story, this Sheridan
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Gorman was shot in the back by an illegal immigrant
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: in Chicago. She was a college student at Loyola and
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: she was from Yorktown High School, twenty three years old.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Her parents just spoke on Friday in Rockland at the
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: meeting the Trump ad in Rockland, which I got invited to.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: And I was grateful, shout out to the White House
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: and to Congressman Lawler's office for making that happen. But yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: my condolence instead of family. It was a horrible, heartbreaking story.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: I cried.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I sat there weeping because how do you listen to
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: a story like that?
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Well, the one who went to Yorktown High School was
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Alexander Ocostio.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: See all I crazy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: She's not from Queen, she's not from the Bronx. She's
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: from the suburbs.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: And she was neighbors with mister producer rich Samenta.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Right and right, and but but you know what, where
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: was where is she? I mean, these these poor parents,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: your heart, your heart breaks when they tell you how
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: loved their daughter was right, and they let the legal
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: immigrant and they want to go back to these sanctuary policies.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Kathy Holchl has has you know, barring ice, uh from
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: you know, from New York law enforcement from baring is
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: barring ice from you know, trying to deport criminal legal aliens.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: And fortunately we have like Bruce Blakeman standing up to her.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: In Nassau County, here's somebody who's hired hundreds of new
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: law enforcement officers, fully cooperates, and they've been raided as
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: the safest county in America within a sanctuary state, where
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: right next to New York City where the mayor wants
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: to shut down Rikers Island, did turn everybody loose in
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: her neighborhoods. I mean, it's just crazy stuff.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, when I was in Puerto Rico, Blakeman
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: was there. He was at the Sea pack. He said
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: a few words. He raised some money with some of
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: the crypto bros that were there, a couple of hundred
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: grand easy, and he cut a deal with the governor or.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: You know, got an endorsement, I should say, from the
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: governor for the backroom deals and cars and everything.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: She's endorsing him.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she agreed to endorse him. And I thought,
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: you know, here's this guy. He's moving in shake and
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Blakeman's doing following all the connecting, all the dots, checking
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: all the boxes, and how does that look? You know,
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: being that you brought them up with with Hochel. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: know it's it's always been a challenge. I thought we
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: we did a great job when Lee Zelden ran and
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: we got within within arms reach. Yeah, and and I thought,
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: at least I Fanic would have been a stellar candidate.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: And then there was this upset with Blakeman and he's
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: done a fantastic job electorally in Nasau. Can that translate
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: to the rest of the state. What do you think
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: have you? Have you surveyed?
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: This full disclosure, I worked for Bruce. I've worked for Bruce.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: She definitely surveyed.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, so, but we had Bruce in our internal polls,
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: which somehow leaked out. We and in March we had
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: him within nine points. So that was after the Iran
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: war started. And it's mainly because voters, most voters in
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: New York are dissatisfied with Kathy Huckle's leadership. Our taxes
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: are too high, our utility bills are too high. It's
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: all about, uh, you know, reducing the cost to the
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: average New Yorker so we don't have to leave the
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: state and she doesn't have to beg us to come back.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: And uh, you know, there's a so this crime issue,
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: but Mondamie, basically it's unbelievable. Her budget, she's subsidizing Mondamie,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: and where's the money gonna come from? The debt and
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: deficits in New York City and New York State are
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: going up, and she's taking money from Buffalo, from Rochester,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: from Syracuse and she's using it to subsidize Mondami's. H
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: you know, deficits spending in New York City. Uh, the
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: New York City suburb voters, suburban voters, whether it's in
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Rockland County where I come from, or whether it's NASA
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: or Suffolk, they're supporting Bruce. And uh so you know,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: so right now, even though she keeps on attacking him
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: with Trump. I mean, one minute she's begging Trump for
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: money for Penn station, you know whatever. The next minute
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: she's attacking him. And uh but you know, voters know
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: that so that he has a good relationship with the President.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: What they don't like is that, you know, you get
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: things like the Long Island Railroad goes on strike and
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: she's the governor and she's still charging him. Congestion seemed
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: to commute into Manattan. I mean, the taxes in the
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: spending never stops with Kathy Hochel and never stops with
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: the with the Zorha Mondaminia. I mean, I mean, you know, so,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Bruce is our only chance to basically put a stop
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: to all this, and that way the rest of us
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: can stay in New York.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: So from your lips to God's ears, right, I hope
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: that it can happen. I love the fact that Zelden was,
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: like you said, within five points and that you've got
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: him at nine. I think that's good. And with the President,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: I think coming in kind of early, I would say, right,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's kind of early. I think that's
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: the way to do it. You got to be able
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: to build that momentum early and tie it to the issues,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: and I think that's that can be a win. My
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: hope is that it is. I feel like Kathy Hochele
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: seems to be so slippery because she's an Albany Democrat
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: that was Republican esque in her heyday and now she's
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: like a leftist and she can talk to people however
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: she wants. Right, she could talk to you like she's
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: a high there from Albany, and she could talk to
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: you like she's a liberal hipster from a story of
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Queen's and I think it's that chameleon manner that she
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: has where she's like, I'm gonna get zor on zoron
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: here whatever you want, you know, and she's so two
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: faced that it makes a lot of people happy.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know, when she was in Congress, she
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: was pro Second Amendment, right to bare arms right, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: then she got to be lieutetic governor. She choes for
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: gun control. But the bear part is what the worst
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: part is she's as of I think this week she's
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: had forty two utility taxing utility bill increases she's approved
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: under her watch. So, I mean, Bruce is promising that
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: he can cut our utility bills fifty percent, which is
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: really important because under her, you know, they keep on
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: shutting down our sources of power and we could have
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: blackout some brownouts this summer. And the insult to injury
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: is you're paying higher and higher utility bills under that
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: are mainly taxes and regulations that need to be walked back.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: They need to be you know, just cut outright cut.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: I mean a lot of places you have to have
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: electricity for new apartments in New York, in New York City. Well,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: if you have electricity and you have a blackout, you
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: have nowhere conditioning, you don't have an elevator. I mean
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: it's it's really a prescription that's bad. So Bruce has
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: a really good shot.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Now you mentioned crime is an area and I just
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: saw a survey I think it was CNN and Harry Enton,
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: the chief data analysts at CNN, saying that despite what
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: people think, Republicans have the heart of the voter, the
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: voters trust Republicans on the issue of crime, or voters
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: trust Republicans on the issue of crime way more than Democrats,
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: I think by double digits. And I thought made sense
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: to me law and order a tough on crime. But
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: despite their efforts to paint you know, Republicans as the
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Gestapo and ice as you know, murderers and whatnot, it
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: seems like the rhetoric isn't working so much on that issue.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: No, it's not because Americans, And it goes right from
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: the top. Donald Trump was elected because he promised promises
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: peace and prosperity, and peace means not only peace around
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: the world, but peace at home. So uh so he
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: is he is doing what he can to remove criminal
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: legal immigrants. The Democrats are going out of their way
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: to keep uh, sex offenders and child molesters and murderers
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: and rapists and drug dealers and GAG members in this country,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: and uh it just doesn't make any sense to the
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: average person. So, you know, usually crime is a local issue,
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: but with Democrats in Congress, it's become a national issue
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: because you can't trust them. They will let they will
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: open the borders, let these criminals in, and then when
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: they hear they let them loose with cashle spale. So
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: it's a very clear choice. Yeah.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Now, John McLaughlin, big honcho at McLaughlin Associates, one of
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: the best posters in America. I want to ask you
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: this because I always look at this stuff and I say, oh,
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: they's slinging mud. Nobody listens to that. But it seems
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: like when people criticize me, that's the critique is that, oh,
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: how could you like Trump? How dare you? Because they've
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: effectively demonized him to the point of making him satan.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: And if Trump is satan and karnate, if he's given
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: you a million dollars, you're like, I don't want you
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: a million dollars, You're satan. Right, so, and I think
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: that's where they've gotten with him. The latest is that
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: if you're a Republican supporting Republicans, we are the party
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: that protects the pedophile. And I think it's weak rhetoric.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: I think it's over the top. But my question to
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: you is it working? Do you think it's going to work?
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: What are the numbers telling you?
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not, it's not working at all. I mean it's
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: some sort of I mean they're trying this stuff with
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Bernie Epstein or whatever.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that party of Epstein, right right.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: But you know, in the meantime, there was a Democrat
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: president going there, and there were plenty of plenty of
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Democrats that were hanging out with Epstein. He was given
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: the money, but it's fiction because Trump threw him out
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: of a club. He didn't want to hang around with
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: the guy.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, I look at these things real quick.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: I look at the fact that you had Elon Musk
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: came out right and kind of reearthed this and made
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: it very popular for everybody to critique Trump when he
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: was having his war with Trump and where to take
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: him nowhere? He ended up coming back into good graces
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: with Trump. Who else has tried it right that Thomas
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: and Massy Tucker. It seems every critic of the president says,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, you're on the Epstein list and this,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: and and all they do is become marginalized.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean the guy. The fact of the matters.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Epstein was trying to get in with wealthy people so
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: he could help his business whatever. And he was extremely unethical,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: if not a criminal person with what he was doing.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: So question, but Trump got Trump got wind of him early,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: and the fact is he threw him out of his club,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: didn't want anything to do with the guy, just so
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: he could see it coming. And at the same time,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: you've got records where Epstein was trying to undermine Trump
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: when when he became president. So so that shows you,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: but they don't the mainstream media doesn't play that, and
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: the average American wants to ignore that. They want they
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: want Trump to succeed. They want him to grow our economy,
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: so grow out a way out of the Biden Harris inflation.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: They want him to keep us safe at home and abroad,
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: and they want and they want him to be successful
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: in this. And you know, just war to keep a
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: ran from having nuclear weapons.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: So let's talk about that. Well, how does that affect us?
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: And I guess so this will be before we wrap up.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: How does Iran affect us in the midterms if we're
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: still at war? Gas prices, I guess are directly attached
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: to Iran. The price of beef is still i'd say
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: out of control. Right, just had Memorial Day and they
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: didn't have too many ribbuys. Right, these are things that
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: I think matters everyday Americans and are going to be
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: an issue come come the midterms. How does that work
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: out in the polling world?
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean Trump in this latest pollar, we posted
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: he as a forty eight approval forty seven disapproval, and
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: you've got, when you look at his number, thirty four
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: approve of both his personality policies. We've got another fourteen
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: percent that's really focused on his policies. So that and
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: the forty seven that disapproves both. It's down from we
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: peaked on election day. So the President nine to eleven
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: in New York at Yankee Stadium when he came there
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: last year and he said, oh, I got my best numbers. Ever,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: I said, no, your best numbers were an election day.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: But that's what you have a campaign for So he
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: had a fifty seven percent job approval as he did
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: as president, and it stayed that way through the through
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: the early part of the year. But then you know
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: in his base it's rock solid. So Republicans, if you're
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: a Republican, he's got eighty seven percent. You know they
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: approve of his job that he's doing. And if you
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: voted for him eighty four percent. That's why he's winning
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: these primaries because his base realizes he's kept his word.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: He stuck with them, and this is what he promised
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: to do. Where where the erosion is at the middle,
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: because Trump's numbers were strongest because we were running against
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and they failed. And the
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: difference now is we don't know who Trump's opponent really
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: is other than Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. And Chuck Schumer,
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: by the way, most Americans don't like him, so they
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: keep him, and the same thing at Hakem Jefferies is
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: a net negative. So you get surveys where fifty percent
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: of the voters are unfair to Chuck Schumer only twenty
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: seven favorable. Trump needs to go after Chuck Schumer every
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: day needs to do the same with hiking Jeffries because
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: they are the ones trying to slow the economy down.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Jerome they love Jerome Palell. They kept him there. Why
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Jerome pal kept interest rates artificially high at a time
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: when the average American has a six thousand dollars you know,
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: credit card balance and they're paying sixteen percent on their
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: credit cards. Trump has talked about, we're putting caps on that.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: They also Schumer shut down the government. Why to take
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: away some of the GDP growth in the economy again,
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: because they understand if the economic growth like President Trump wants,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: the Republicans will keep the House in the Senate. That's
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: what happened in two thousand and two when we had
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: a growing economy, when George W. Bush had tax cuts
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: that went into effect and the country was united after
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: nine to eleven. Now you've got Democrats, you know, they
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: don't want to celebrate America two fifty with us. They
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: want to repeat Iranian state television. Really dangerous. When you
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: guys get like Senator Chris Murphy, he puts it, retweets
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: out stuff there that Iranian propagandas are putting out. Make
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: it seem like we're losing the water. Ram we're not.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: And to your question is Americans are patient people. In
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: the short term, yeah, we'll pay higher gas prices, but
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: you know, in the long term, when we asked the
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: agree to disagree that Donald Trump should finish the job
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: and win the war with the ragin sixty to thirty
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: two to one, the Americans said yes to that.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: They agree. Big number. Yeah, big number. Now, John McLaughlin,
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: any other insight from this most recent survey from McLachlin Associates.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: By the way, there's a lot there if you go
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: to McLaughlin online dot com. There's a lot of numbers there.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: And if you tell people about the ballroom what it's
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: being built for security, they support that when you talk
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: to them about again, and it's.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Not costing us anything but for security. Right, we're not
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: righting for construction.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: But you know, the thing is that you don't realize
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: the White House is a very vulnerable place and that
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: new ballroom is really underneath that. You're going to have
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: secure areas underneath it that are going to be used
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: to keep people safe. The ballroom is going to be
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: reinforced with concrete and steel. And why do you need it.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: We're in this age of AI drone technology. You get
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: a terrorist with a drone near the White House, it's
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: an extremely vulnerable place. And Trump's not doing it just
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: for him while he's there. He's doing this for every
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: president that comes after.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: So he's only got a couple of years left.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guarantee you that they'll use it the demosil.
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: They're not going to boycott the ballroom, No.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: They will. They'll be in there, they'll be hunkered down.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: But but Donald Trump's doing it in the right way.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: And uh, that's what do you expect from a president
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: who gets it done. He's totally unique in American history.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: We've never seen a president like this where he's a
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: business person, he's not from Washington. He keeps his word,
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: and he really does watch out for the working men
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: and women of America.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: John McLaughlin and I wrapped up the interview here, but
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: I have a final question, and it's a little off
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: the wall, but how does a nice kid from the
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: Bronx end up becoming a polster?
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: Of all?
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: Is that what you wanted to do when you were
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: like in sixth grade, You're like, I want to be
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: a Polster.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: And that's, by the way, that's when I moved and
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I left the Bronx, left Saint Barnavas, and I moved
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: to my parents moved me to the suburbs. But I
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: came back there to go to Fordham and Donald Trump
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: went to Fordham for two years before he went to
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Penn Yeah. So, but uh, but it's like, no, it's
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: it's when your passion becomes, uh, your living. So I
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: can tell that you're passionate about what you do when
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: you talk to people with your programs, your shows, your guests,
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: the people that listen to you. I can tell rich
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: that you're passionate about that. Well, in nineteen seventy six,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: when I was in college at Fordam, I volunteered for
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: the Reagan campaign and I was also I used to
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: volunteer and help local Republicans when elections up in Rockland County,
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: New York. And when your hobby becomes your living, which
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty two, one of Reagan's pollsters, Arthur Finelstein,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: offered me a job with his firm. I did it,
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: and yeah, I got the NBA and quantitative methods from
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Fordham and all that kind of stuff. But By the meantime,
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: I got to work for a lot of good people
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: who made their polster look good, including President Trump, who
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: certainly made his polster look good. And I'll you know,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: you're only as good as the people you work for.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: And thank god we live in America where people are
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: free can express their opinions and uh can have honest
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: debates about issues and ideas, and uh, you know they
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: it's good. It keeps us polsters in business, but at
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: the same time it strengthens our democracy.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You know the old saying they say, find a
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: I think we both with a lot of yes.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: So it's great to be on your show because I
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: can tell that you love it and you have the passion,
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: and uh, you're doing it your audience. You're doing a
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: great service for having your audience is building. So thank
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: you a great thing.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you for being here. Because you know, I always
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: tell people there's no show if thenbody's watching it, nobody's
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: listening to somebody's coming on the show. I'm talking to myself, John,
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: take care, brother, godspeed. Do you check him out at
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: McLachlan online dot com. Jim at McLaughlin, John McLaughlin, these
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: guys that do a great job, make sure you check
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: them out. You're a gentleman, of scolar and a patriot.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: Thanks John, Thank you, yesday, great guy. All right, Amingos,
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: we're coming right back. More to come straight ahead, my
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: final thoughts and more. Don't go anywhere.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: All right, now, attention, pay attention. This is an important one. Yeah,
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: pay attention to this. Cops and Long Island are using
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: something called so doxa. Now this is a test, a
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: drug test to check for weed. Yeah, now check this
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: out straight inside your mouth.
• 57:54
  Speaker 12: Even with marijuana legal in New York, most local relies
• 57:58
  Speaker 12: still have no roadside tests to determine what drug may
• 58:02
  Speaker 12: be impairing a driver. But some police say this is
• 58:05
  Speaker 12: a game changer.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: So positive a cannon.
• 58:11
  Speaker 12: It's called so toxa, a saliva test which in five
• 58:14
  Speaker 12: minutes can identify seven types of drugs plays.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: And there is no female version, right, so if it's
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: a girl getting tested, they don't call it sotoxiga, So
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: get that out of your mind. But it takes five
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: minutes to identify seven different types of drugs, including meth, cocaine, benzos, cannabis,
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: and opiates.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: People out there in their cars smoking marijuana.
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: Our ability to determine that is hampered by the fact
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: that there is no legal level of marijuana intoxication.
• 58:46
  Speaker 12: So if police have rolled out three of the devices
• 58:49
  Speaker 12: along with this warning, if you drive high or drunk,
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: there's a lot to lose.
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: Not only will you lose your car, it's unlikely that
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: you'll get it back.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Well, crush it.
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: You imagine that, cruising down the street, you're thinking, you're
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: all clear, you haven't been drinking. You might have been
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: doing some gummies, you might have been doing some all
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: sorts of who knows what, and now they can check
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: you with a saliva swab. I want to know what
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: you think about this, right A lot of people are saying,
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: what if I did it yesterday, what if I did
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: the day before? What if it stays in my system
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: for thirty days? This is exactly what I want you
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: to weigh in on. We're gonna be talking about that
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: and so much more in our Open Phone America segment.
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: Definitely give me a call on this. Eight seven seven
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: valdez one. The numbers up on the screen eight seven
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: seven eight twenty five thirty three seventy one. I think
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: I got that right. Anyway, hit me up on the
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: duct phone eight seven seven valdez one because I really
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: want to know. I'm really interested in knowing your thoughts.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: All right, let's hit the phones. Let's go to Tony
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: in Montreal, Canada. What do you want to speak on, sir?
• 59:47
  Speaker 11: On Canadian conservatism and where North America is going? All right,
• 59:52
  Speaker 11: I want I want North America to understand that Starmer,
• 59:56
  Speaker 11: Macron and Van Helen are the dangers to society that
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 11: we have to stop as a conservative movement.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you're right, Tony. I appreciate that. The
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: importance of I think the conservative movement, whether it's in Hungary,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: all over Europe, in Canada as you're mentioning, or anywhere else.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: People that believe in conservatism, smaller government, lesser government intervention,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: more liberty. These people are birds of a feather and
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: we should flock together. Right, most of the time we're
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: saying things like, look, I just want to mind my
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: own business. I just want to That's the reason why
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: I think the other side is so good at organizing
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: because they believe in collectivism and they don't want to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: be left alone. They want to be off all up
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: in everybody's business, kind of like this topic that I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: just brought up here. And I know you're a lawyer
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: Tony in Canada, Timber Tony, but I'm curious to know
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: if they have that in Canada, if they have this
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: topic where they can pull you over and do a
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: saliva swab. Okay, I'm being told in my ear that
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: Tony's not with us anymore. Now, he didn't go on
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: to the next life. He's just not on the line anymore.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: But I'm interested in knowing that because a lot of
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: people and thank you for that, and again your point
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: of conservatism as well, taken Tony the and honestly it
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: falls right into this topic of what I'm talking about
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: with the conservatism and the marijuana testing and whatnot. If
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: people are going to make people, the politicians, the representatives
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: of the people, are going to say we are going
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: to make cannabis legal. You can buy gummies in the store,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: you can smoke weed on the streets, it's legal, Okay,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: got it. I can buy liquor in the store. I
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: can buy liquor in the streets, but I can't operate
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: machinery or a motor vehicle. Understood. But there's standards that say,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: if you have this much blood alcohol level at the
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: time you stopped, evidenced by blowing into a breathalyzer, we
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: are going to suspend your ability to drive and arrest,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: your ability to be free, et cetera, et cetera. And
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: they want to do the same thing. The problem here
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: is there isn't a work that says your cannabis intoxication level,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: you know, blood blood cannabis content, right, because they're checking
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: your saliva. Moreover, unless they figure out what cannabis looks
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: like in the last few minutes while you're actually under
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: the influence versus cannabis from yesterday where you might have
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: been high for two hours and you know it's just
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: in your system for the next three, four weeks, six
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: months maybe. Then guess what, It's an ineffective test because
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: you're going to pull over somebody who was at a
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: Grateful Dead concert somewhere and they were puff puff passed
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: with their friends, and that was on a Friday night,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: and here it is Sunday after church, and guess what
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: they get pulled over, you know, and they're going to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: fail this test. It doesn't make any sense. Then they
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: say that they could arrest you if you if you
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: don't agree to take the saliva test, because because it's
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: bodily fluid, they would need a warrant, So you have
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: to volunteer it. If you say no, they can go
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: ahead and arrest you on suspicion anyway, and then compel
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: you once you're arrested. A post arrest saliva test or
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: chemical drug test is a requirement, and just for refusing
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: you would get a one year license revocation and a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: five hundred dollars fine. Even if a judge finds you
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: not guilty and the charge doesn't stick, you still lose
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: your license just for refusing the test. Seems a little
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: bit excessive. That's not something that exists in the alcohol
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: side of things. Moreover, in the news thing from CBS
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: News that I just played for you, in that it
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: was very clear that they would crush your car and
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: impound it. You tell me the last time somebody. Some
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: people crush their own cars, you know, God forbid, but
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: they do. But it's not the police taking your car
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: away and crushing it. A couple of weeks ago, I
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: mentioned how they were on the Washington Bridge stopping people
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: for easy pass, arresting people, Yet they don't arrest anybody.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: He was jumping a turnstile. I can guarantee you there's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: more people robbing the MTA on the subways, and there
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: are people stealing an easy pass, yet selective enforcement. The
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: easy pass person has a job, the other one doesn't.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: So you go where you think you can get the money.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: It's a cash grab. It's not about right and wrong.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: It's not about rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: rendering unto God what is God's. It's about taking your money,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: and that is a shame. And I think in this
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: case it's likely unconstitutional because it is probably a violation
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: of the Fourth Amendment here where because of the informed
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: consent laws that they have in New York saying that
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: if you deny this thing that you automatically lose your license.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: It seems like you don't have much of a choice
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: at all. Right, it sounds like COVID all over again.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: So anyway, lots of discussion on the Instagram post that
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: I put on my Instagram page. If you want to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: take a look at that. That got a lot of traction,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: and that's it. Staki yeh. I'm a at approxima. I
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: want to wish you a good night, but before I do,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: I want to say the only thing necessary for evil
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: to triumph is for good people like you to do nothing.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: So make sure you stand for something, because if you
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. I start approxima,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: take care, good night, and God bless you America. I'm
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: rich Valdez, and this is America.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: This is America.
