  Speaker 2: Now back to the Mark Simo show on w o R.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Well, whenever you see these poles, you read these poles.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: These are these junk polls, these fake polls, these college poles.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: They're very cheaply done. They're not very good. Now behind
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the scenes, presidents and real candidates pay for the real,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: serious polls, the deadly accurate, real polls. And the best
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of the bunch is John McLaughlin, who's worked for many
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: presidents and prime ministers and senators and congressmen, and his
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: website is McLaughlin online dot com. McLachlan online dot com.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: John McLaughlin, How you doing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm doing well. Mark. Pleasure to be on the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: phone with you again.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Great to have you on. So I don't even know
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: where to start. Let's take mom, Donnie, this crazy commie
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and his wife who's clicking life on October seventh, awful
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: holocaust and things. How does this happen? We didn't have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this twenty years ago, with these kind of people could
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: get elected. What is out there in the population that's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: getting these people elected.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not necessarily the population as much as the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: media coverage. Because you remember the first storm where eighteen
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: people died in the snow or whatever, you know, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: people were shoveling at their own streets. The media coverage
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was not really negative. He did do a better job
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: maybe in the second snow, but you know the story
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about, where his wife might have liked
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: things that terroristed on October seventh in Israel. It really
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: hasn't been the big story. You know, it's among conservative
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: outlets that to talk about, right, Sarah. You might read
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: about the New York Post, you might hear about it
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on Fox News, you talk about it, talk radio talks
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: about but the mainstream media is not carrying it. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: they're giving him a honeymoon and he's benefiting from that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And what's more serious is you know, like over a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: week ago, you know, some police officers got called to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was it Washington Park or something where because of the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: snowball fight, and they attacked the police with snowballs and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: ice in. One of them had to go to hospital,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and he said it was just a small snowball fight. Right,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And now you've got a situation this weekend where yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: there was a there was a guy who I'd never
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: heard of before, some some what they call influencer, conservative
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: influencer and social media was protesting outside of Gracie Manson
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and then they had these quote unquote counter protesters come
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and initially the mayor said that they threw a snow
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a smoke bomb or something like that, and then media
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: on Saturday night was reporting them as counter protesters, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they were really islam assists and of the two of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: them got arrested because it seems they had they threw
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: makeshift bombs that didn't go off, and then god they
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: didn't go off because they were built where they could
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: have caused a lot of damage, had a lot of people,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: including the police officers that tackle them to arrest them,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and the mayor was just smoke bombs, and his own
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: police commissioner was saying, this could have been really serious,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and uh you know, so uh So, what I'm saying
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: is the voters in New York City and New York
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: State and the New York City media market are not
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: getting the facts from the media, and they're giving Mondami
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a honeymoon and through social media and and other you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: cross pressures unconventional media. The truth is getting out and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: people are getting concerned. They getting worried about it, and uh, I,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, it's going to create a problem for the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: governor because she's up for uh, you know, reelection is year.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: In full disclosure, I worked for Bruce Blakeman, and Bruce's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: got the potential to beat her. And I think because
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Mandami has gotten this honeymoon in spite of the fact
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that he wants to raise property taxes ten percent in
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: New York City, inspite the fact he's now talking about
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: they're floating the idea of uh charging everybody for parking
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on the streets. So so if you if you're in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Queen's or Brooklyn or Style and and you have a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you want to park in front of your home, you
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: may get you know, they're floating the idea that they're
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: going to make you pay a parking toll or something
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: like that. And because he can't up until election day,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: hulkals trying to resist his uh, his entreaties to her
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to raise taxes because you know he wants to. They
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: want to raise TAXI Mondombie wants to pay for free
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: child care where it's going to cost what thirty six
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars for every two year old to go to daycare,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: full daycare or whatever. You might as well send him
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to Sunni or tune. He sent them to college for
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that amount of money. It's cheaper in New York State. So, uh,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of things going wrong right now.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Well, Bruce, Bruce Blakeman would be a much better governor
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: than Kathy Okle. Bruce Blakeman common sense, and he's proven
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: himself as a governor of Nassau County. He's done a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: brilliant job. So but what chance does he have poll wise,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: electric wise?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Oh well, stay tuned, because I mean, Bruce, at this
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: point in time. In twenty twenty one, he was down
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: twenty four points to the incumbent Kent executive in Nassau County.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: He ended up winning on a Mexa on a message
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of fighting crime and lowering taxes. And if there's any
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: state that needs taxes lowered for affordability as New York state.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And over a week ago he ran a statewide campaign
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: about lowering the utility bills because he says he can
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: cut the utility bills in half because New York State
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: is getting destroyed with these mandates on the climate change
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and other things where the government regulations have artificially increased
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: our utility bills and people, you know, it's been a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: cold winter and people are getting tough utility bills. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that's just one example of affordability. But the other is
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the taxes in New York for the amount of government
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: spending they have. And now you've got doctor roz saying
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he's going to investigate medicaid fraud in the state, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: uh it seems to be pretty significant. So uh so
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's there's ways to make New York State a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: lot more affordable. And Bruce is the type of person
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: because he's proven his record, as you said, as Nasal
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: County Executive's he not only stopped tax increases, but he
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: cut taxes but when he took office and he hasn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: raised taxes since. And then uh and and uh he's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: hired hundreds of law enforcement officers at in Nassau County. Uh,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: unlike New York City where they're five thousand shorter ready,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and they're talking about, you know, not hiring more police
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and uh the time where you know, now with what's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: going on, and ran and overseas, you've got to be
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: concerned about terrorist activity.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So Bruce is a much much, much better debater. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: but how important, how crucial is the debate to winning?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I think it would be. I think it would be
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a huge benefit to Bruce because he's done very a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: good job. But we'll see. She's she's not going to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: agree that she's trying to when Bruce was. She hasn't
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: agreed to anything yet about debating.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But you have to agree, don't you to a debate?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure she I'm sure she'll
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: be pressed at some point to do that. But she
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: didn't respond to Bruce is talking about utility rates and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: being able to cut them in hand. She didn't respond,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So she she's been ignoring it. And uh you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: if anything, they're flowing the idea that some of their
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: climate change regulations have gone too long, gone of course
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: too much. So uh So I think I think you
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: know this. It's it's only just the beginning of March.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: There's plenty of time, and New Yorkers know it. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you got one side that wants to raise taxes,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and how can you talk about affordability where you're talking
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: about raising corporate taxes that of course jobs to leave
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: New York and there's been enough of that recently. Or
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you're talking about raising you know, a millionaire's tax. We'll
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: find out we're all wealthy at some point. And Mondomie's
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: putting the pressure on him because he wants to spend.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: We're talking about corporate tax What that is is tariffs,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Democrat tariffs and companies. Hey, before we run out town,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we don't get a minute left. If I asked you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: right now what Republican's chances are in the midterms, does
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that mean anything, because it's going to be a whole
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: different world in four months, Well.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You know right now, again, be very honest. We put
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: out we put out polls in the end of September,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: part of me the end of January. Last September, we
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: were ahead for most of the year the Republicans letting
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the generic vote for Congress. You know, in October we
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: were head forty six forty four, but at some point
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: in November it went one point Democrat. And the poll
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that we put out in uh late January early February
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: had the Democrats up by three on the generic ballot.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So the Republicans need to go play offense on the issues.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Just like the President's State of the Union was great. Yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I mean he got the he elevated heroes, he gave medals,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: he had people there. Democrats can bring themselves to applaud
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: for real American heroes. And at the same time, when
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: he asked them to stand up if you think, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: we should treat American citizens better than the legal aliens,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats couldn't do that. And then he even
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: brought up the fact that when they voted against his
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: tax cuts, they voted for tax increases. So the Republicans
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: who need to have a contrast election need to point
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: out that Democrats are for raising taxes, Democrats are forgiving
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: their tax dollars to illegal immigrants. The Democrats are for
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, this week, with what's going on,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I ran you think some of these media outlets and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: some of the Democrats, you think they were almost rooting
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: for Iran. And it's like, we really need to make
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: sure they never get a nuclear weapon. And you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: that's what President Trump's doing. And it's a difficult thing.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And God bless our men and women who there in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the Armed Service who are serving. Hopefully they're successful and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: they come back safe.
• 10:04
