FULL SHOW: Changes in the economy soon; Kristi Noem challenged.

Could the Democrats’ constant criticism of President Trump actually increase his chances of helping the GOP win the midterms next year? According to sources in D.C. that Mark knows, Americans will notice significant changes in their paychecks starting in January of next year. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Which Democrats are most likely to be winners in the upcoming elections over the next few years? Howie, currently in Palm Beach, Florida, shares his perspective on the holiday season in the area. Department of Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem was challenged on Capitol Hill yesterday by Democrats regarding her handling of ICE. Today, we also remember the legendary music icon Frank Sinatra on what would have been his 110th birthday. Mark interviews pollster John McLaughlin. John breaks down the latest behind-the-scenes poll numbers, focusing on the 2026 gubernatorial race in NYC. United States Representative Elise Stefanik is currently trailing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, while Governor Kathy Hochul could face a serious challenge ahead. There are also concerns that President Trump’s approval rating polls may be manipulated against him.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now or Presents No Mark Simon Shaw.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, it's Friday. We got a lot to get too.
Now they're gonna be it'll be cold today and then
a little warmer tomorrow. But Saturday night, the very first
snow of the year. It's not going to be much
and maybe just an inch or so, but you'll actually
see some snow when you wake up on Sunday morning,
just a little, just a little, and then it gets
warm again. So don't worry. It's not gonna be a

(00:30):
bad winter. We got lots of stuff to talk about. Now.
You got to remember, go easy on your crazy Democratic friends.
I know they sound crazy, they're so angry. What the
hell are they so angry about? But you got to
remember they're living in this little bubble, in this echo
chamber where they're just fed all kinds of stuff. And

(00:53):
now they watch CNN and MS whatever the hell it's
called now and New York Times, and they're not exposed.
They don't have access to a lot of information. They're
just spoon fed little bits and pieces of a story
to create a certain narrative. For instance, they'll tell you
right now that President Trump, if you're watching these shows

(01:16):
all day and all you know, is President Trump is very,
very sick. He has tremendous medical problems. He's falling asleep
every second, and his popularity is just sinking in the polls.
He is plungings. So they're running around thinking all of
this stuff, which is fine. Let him think whatever they
want to think. You know, they decide whatever they want

(01:36):
to decide, and that's it. They believe it. So the
fact of the matter is there's nothing wrong with him. Medically,
he's fine. He just had a very very very detailed
physical He's absolutely fine. You know, he's seventy eight, seventy
nine years old. You can always have little things. He's
got some swelling in his ankles, he's got something on

(01:57):
his hand. This is almost nothing. This is minor medical
stuff at the age of seventy nine. He's not falling asleep.
There are people around him all day and night. The
guy goes, you know, eighteen nineteen hours a day. Then
even when he's home, doesn't sleep. He's tweeting and texting
and doing all sorts of stuff, making phone calls all night.
I know, at one time at the cabinet meeting, looked

(02:18):
like he fell asleep. It looked like his eyes were closed,
and they show you those pictures of his eyes are closed. Well,
go back and watch the video. It was Marco Rubio
talking and Pete Hegsath talking. But watch his eyes are closed,
his head is down. But at one point Exit makes
a joke. Watch Trump, he reacts. You can see him
laugh at the joke, and you can see his face.

(02:41):
He's reacting to everything that's being said. So his eyes
are closed, but he's he's not asleep during the cabinet meeting.
Now with Joe Biden. You so I'm actually asleep at times.
So now the other thing I'll convinced you is he's
so far down in the polls on the economy, everything
that there's no chance in the midterms for Trump or
for the Republicans. They did this to Reagan, by the way,

(03:04):
Reagan's first term, they said, they kept broadcasting this, putting
this in the news every day. He's so fired down
in the polls, and they try to do everything they
could to hurt him. And in fact, believe it or not,
Reagan had a run for reelection, believe it or not,
as the year before the reelection, Reagan was trailing Mondale
in the polls and he was also trailing John Glenn

(03:28):
in the polls, so Reagan was in third.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Of course, the following year, Reagan won the biggest landslide ever.
He won forty nine states. It was the biggest landslide ever.
He could have won all fifty if he wanted to,
but he told campaign manager Ed Rollins give up Minnesota,
let Mondale win Minnesota because it didn't want to humiliate him.
So it was the biggest landslide ever, even though at

(03:51):
this point the polls were off. So don't pay any
attention to all these polls. It means absolutely nothing. Also,
the big beautiful bill that was past has not started yet.
It kicks in in January. And people are telling me that,
you know, when this bill kicks in in January, all
of a sudden, you're going to be getting tax cuts
and tax breaks. You're gonna be paying a lot less tax,

(04:13):
so you'll see more in your paycheck. But I'm being
told by people in DC that the Americans are going
to be startled by the change in their paychecks. It's
going to be big. You're going to see a big,
big change in paychecks starting in January. So everything will
start turning around then. Now, when it comes to the polls,

(04:34):
don't go by the one they're talking about today, the
AP poll. There's no organization more partisan, corrupt, slanted, biased
than AP. Don't trust them for a second. We'll have
the best polster in the world on the show later
we'll get the real numbers coming up. So and by
the way, when you look at the polling, President Trump

(04:57):
pulls very very well, very good poll numbers. If you
isolate issues and just do the economy, that pole is low.
But not Trump himself. They forget to tell you that part.
But they just make up a whole scenario for their audience.
They drilling in their heads all they're all coordinated NBC, ABC, CBS,
New York Times, CNN, MS, whatever the hell it is,

(05:19):
and they just keep pushing that narrative and all your
Democratic friends run around thinking this. I'll give you a
good example. The oil tankers. They never ever tell anybody
in the audience what the deal is with the oil tankers.
All they show is the video of the Navy seals
repelling down from the helicopter seizing an oil What the
hell they're just seizing an oil tanker from another country?

(05:43):
Why would they do such as they never tell the
audience anything. It's an illegal tanker. There's a warrant out
for that tanker. It has been used to ship Iranian oil,
violating all the sanctions, but they never tell you that.
If you're watching Rachel Maddow, you know all these fake news.
They try to look very serious. They put it out

(06:03):
of a background that looks like it's some sort of
news show, and she's got glasses and she looks very professorial,
but she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about,
and she's never telling you the actual story.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
For instance, Trump really doesn't seem to have any idea
why he's going to war in Venezuela, nor does he
seem to be in charge of any of the decisions
that are leading us to this war. And so we
also have to worry about who's actually running the government
right now and who is actually driving us toward this
regime change war that the President doesn't seem to be
at the helm of. We don't know who is, and

(06:36):
we don't know why.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
So if you're the viewer, you think, wow, he's just nuts.
He just sees the tanker. He doesn't know why. As
she said, he doesn't even know why. He doesn't know why.
He just I don't know where he decided to seize tanker. Oh,
none of this is true again, that there was a
warrant out for that tanker had been violating sanctions. Tankers
are sees. It's a normal thing. We've been doing it

(06:58):
for years if you violate the san Biden got very
sloppy about it and stopped. But we do seize tankers.
It's perfectly normal. It wasn't out of the ordinary. Here's
the government guy who's the expert in this.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
The US doesn't bluff when it comes to sanctions enforcement.
This wasn't just a tanker seizure. It was a warning
shot to every single dictator who thinks they can outsmart
US law enforcement. And we've got to let President Trump
ramp up the heat on Maduro, who is charged with
flooding our streets with fentanyl and killing our fellow Americans.
So this was lawful enforcement action. It was executed under

(07:31):
a federal seizure warrant against a vessel that's been involved
in transporting sanctioned oil for years, and the US has
the authority to do it. And we need to continue
to send a clear message to Maduro. That the US
is going to uphold sanctions and deny his illicit networks.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, now, Rachel Maddow never told the audience that there
was a warrant out on that tanker. It had been
violating sanctions repeatedly transporting Iranian oil, transporting into places that
are sanctioned, like China and other stuff. Here's the White
House spokesman.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Resident is committed to stopping the illegal flow of drugs
into our country. He's also fully committed to effectuating this
administration's sanctioned policy.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
And that's what you saw and the world saw take
place yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
They're enforcing the actual sanctions on these tankers. The other
thing is they want to bankrupt of Venezuela. They want
to stop the drug traffic. Stop the drug traffic stop,
you know, close the border so it's not coming over
the border anymore. That's why the drug cartels moved to
transporting it by water by sea. So they're going to
stop that now and they're going to eventually shut it down.

(08:34):
And once you stop the flow of this oil, this
illegal oil, this is how Venezuela's a terrible leader makes
his money illegally transporting sanctioned oil to sanctioned places and
all this drug stuff. So once you shut that down,
he's going to go broke and run out of money.
So when Trump says, this guy's going to be gone,

(08:54):
well that's why. Here's Kat McFarlane.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Venezuela. It pretty soon runs out of money. I mean
really soon runs out of money. And that's the money
that Madua used to pay the military, to pay off
all the bad guys to keep himself in power. So
that's why when Trump says, oh, I think Maduro's days
are numbered, I think he's counting off the days in
tell mandual runs out of money.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, it's millions and millions a day. These are illegal shipments. Now,
we do seize tankers. We've been every administration does it.
Here's here's the Navy seal.

Speaker 8 (09:22):
We've been sanctioning tankers out of Venezuela and many other
countries for years, and seizing oil tankers is actually not
uncommon for us to do. In twenty fourteen, in my
old community, the seals parachuted in the season oil tanker
in the morning Glory and the Mediterranean, which is also
smuggling illicit oil. Because many of these rogue regimes and
terrorist organizations use sometimes unflagg vessels or wrongly flagged vessels

(09:45):
to move oil around to fund that there are illicit operations,
or use those tankers to smuggle other subsces like drug
or weapons.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Twenty fourteen. Who is president deed? Oh yeah, Obama seizing
oil tankers. Well, it's okay when he does it, but
he does it. It's different now. Again, we always do this,
We always support illegal criminals. But everything changed with the
Biden years where they decided to just throw the border

(10:12):
wide open, do absolutely nothing. They also decided they would
not enforce any sanctions anywhere, so they got used to
that craziness and now they're stunned. President Trump will continue
to blow up narco terrorists, boats, seize illegal tankers and
all that stuff. And he's going to stop the drugs
no matter what you have to do.

Speaker 9 (10:33):
Drug traffic by sea is down ninety two and nobody
can figure out who the eight percent is because I.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Have no idea. Anybody getting involved in that right now
is not doing well. And we'll start that on land too.
It's going to be sorting on land pretty soon. Here
you go. But if you're fake news, if you're MS
whatever they call them, viewer, you're just a bobblehead nodding
when they tell you the president has no idea why.

(11:00):
He doesn't even know why. He didn't mean there's no
reason to seas he takes.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Really doesn't seem to have any idea why he's going
to war in Venezuela, nor does he seem to be
in charge of any of the decisions that are leading
us to this war, and so we also have to worry.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Of course, this is just nonsense. He has no idea
why he's doing this. What the hell does she know
about what he knows? There has nothing to do with him.
You know how they always say President Trump said without evidence.
He said, well, she has no evidence, none to back
up anything she's saying. Hey, it's just about the end
of the year. They've looked back on the first year

(11:36):
of Trump. Two point five million illegals deported, two point
five million illegals deported, one point nine million. That's almost
two million self deported. Self deported because they saw the
ice rays, they saw what was going to happen, so
they supported themselves. But that's one point nine million self deported.

(11:57):
Holman and his team got six one hundred thousand illegals
out in the first year, so a two point five million.
Trump's only got four years, but that would bring him
to ten million that he'll get out by then. So
he's enforcing a lot of things that the Biden administration
wouldn't enforce. When it came to law and order, the

(12:17):
Biden administration decided they're not going to enforce anything. You know,
there's a rule a law. Now, if you're a truck
driver driving one of those big, huge trucks out there
on the highway, the law is you have to speak English.
You have to be tested for English. Well, obviously it's
a federal law because if you don't speak English, you

(12:38):
won't be able to understand the traffic signs, you won't
be able to even talk to a cop if he
stops you, you won't be able to fill out a report. Correctly,
that's the law. You have to be able to speak English. Now,
the Obama administration tried to loosen up that law a little,
but President Trump has put it back into effect. You've

(12:59):
got this speak English to drive one of those big,
huge trucks. You got to be able to read the signs,
all of that stuff, and a lot of proponents who
are pushing for this crackdown included family members of accident
victims who had been killed by those trucks because they
couldn't speak English, couldn't read the signs. So there's been
a crackdown and recently ten thousand drivers have lost their

(13:24):
US driving privileges, taken off the road because they couldn't
pass an English test. Crackdown by the Trump administration. Now
you're going to you'll see this probably Monday on Rachel Madda.
How horrible this look what they're doing to these poor
illegals who broke him. A assassin of Charlie Kirk. First
day in court yesterday, very very very creepy, laughing, joking

(13:53):
around with his attorneys. You know, you're in court for
being an assassin for murder. They got you, They got
all the evidence. Laughing and joking. Ess. Sometimes sometimes these
guys are a little drugged up. They did that with Oj.
Remember in his trial. He didn't quite look right. They
drugged him up because Oj was quite a temperamental guy

(14:14):
with a big temper, and they wanted him calm in court,
so they gave him some drugs to really really really
calm them down so they might have done that with
this kid. He's only twenty two, so he might have
been on something to keep him very calm, But there
he was laughing and smiling. The judge look like looks
like he was going to allow I guess he's going
to allow cameras in the court. The trial will be televised.

(14:36):
I don't know what the point of that is. This
guy's clearly guilty. You got all the evidence, you got
everything you need. Just convict the guy, lock him up,
give him the electric chair. I think they have capital
punishment in that state. But they're doing pretty well. Actually,
he's got these what do you call those free lawyers,
those court appointed public defenders, But they're doing pretty well.

(15:00):
They won the right to have him in civilian clothes
in court. Normally you put a suit and tie on.
In this case it was just a button down shirt.
But he is shackled to protect people in the courtroom.
The judge is ordered the cameras cannot show the shackles
on him. Hey, if you can allow cameras, allow cameras.

(15:20):
But and apparently one camera caught up just a glimpse
of the shackles, and the judge went nuts, threatening to
throw all the cameras out, but you got to remember
the jury. We'll see the shackles and realize this guy's
very dangerous. He looks nuts, Luigi Mangione completely nuts, looks
like a just totally crazy. But it looks like you'll

(15:41):
get to see this trial. I don't know. You know,
these democrats go crazy. Luigi Mangiona has fan clubs, he
has groupies, he has fans cheering them as he comes
in and out of the court. You may see the
same thing for this lunatic Tyler Robinson in court as well.
Fay Frank Sinatra's hundred tenth birthday today be one hundred

(16:01):
and ten today born December. What's the day today? I
forgot his birthday? December twelfth. December twelfth, Yeah, December twelfth, Hoboken,
New Jersey, of course. And they're having that birthday party
at Patsy's. It's all sold out. You can't there's no
more tickets to it. But you can be able to

(16:23):
get the podcast. Just go online and just type Brank Sinatra.
You'll find the podcast of it. Not everybody's leaving Manhattan.
You might know somebody who's leaving because of mom Donnie,
but apartment sales are very very strong, and rents. People
are renting apartments here like crazy. In fact, right now

(16:43):
you can't rent an apartment. They've hit record highs, record highs.
Apartments are going. You know what the average rent now
is in New York fifty six hundred a month. Fifty
six hundred a month average rent. But that's because people
are renting them like crazy. How do you do something,
how do you create affordabuilding? Well, if your mom, Donnie,
if you can actually get a lot of people to leave,

(17:04):
that will bring down the rents. But hey, by the way, mom,
Donnie is announced he's putting tariffs on businesses. You know
these Democrats claim they hate tariffs. He's announced he wants
to put tariffs on business He calls him corporate tax increases,
but it'd be a corporate tax increase, the same thing
as a tariff. It is a tariff. So he wants
to tariff uh, New York City businesses. Hey, we'll take

(17:25):
some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero

zero seven ten. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you.

Speaker 11 (17:57):
Doing, Good morning, Mark birthday to the Chairman of the board.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
To one hundred and ten today, one hundred and ten.

Speaker 11 (18:06):
One hundred and ten years young. You know you mentioned
Jackie Vernon recently and it was it rang a bell
because I remember he used to do this bit, you know,
with he'd have the clicker. Here I am on my
summer vacation.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, for those who are Jackie Vernon was a comedian
back in the sixties, very popular and he was a
very boring guy. That was his act that he was
the most boring quiet and he'd say hello exactly, hello friends,
and he would do like a slideshow with a clicker
and he goes, right, this is meal. But he was
a very boring guy. Now, this thing came out the
other day that he had like twelve families, nine thousand women.

Speaker 11 (18:42):
He was a carrouser. But I saw, you know, he
was on Sullivan and Sullivan. People may forget he had
the greatest comedians week after week on from you know,
the ordinary Jackie Vernons, but he knows Myron Cohen and
Alan King and Joan and John Byner and Sandy Barren
and two guys like London Lee and Stanley Meyron Handleman.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know, there I go past. But also, like he
did with rock and roll, he was quite cutting edge.
He would have a young Richard Pryor on and all
those guys were on site.

Speaker 11 (19:14):
Exactly before Carson became the place for comedians to get
make their name, Sullivan was light years ahead.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah. No, it was quite a show. It was done
right over there at what's now unfortunately the Stephen Colbert Theater,
but that was the Ed Sullivan Theater for years.

Speaker 12 (19:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
And when you went on there, forty to fifty million
think about this, forty or fifty million people would be watching.

Speaker 11 (19:36):
It was unbelievable.

Speaker 12 (19:38):
And like the Carson desk, if he called you over,
you know.

Speaker 11 (19:41):
And shook your hand, that was you know. The next
day you were headlining in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, and it was quite a show. Everybody used to
tell me about doing that. George Carlin had a whole routine.
You went to the deli next door. You got like
a six pack of beer. You took it there because
you'd be there the whole day. You'd do a dress rehearsal,
then you'd do a dresser so for the audience, then
you take a break, then you come back and do
the show. So you do like three times in one day. Well, Mike,

(20:07):
as always, thanks for calling. Let's go to Steve and Bedsty. Steve,
how you doing?

Speaker 13 (20:13):
Happy and healthy? Mark? I had a suggestion days, it'll
be a year since we lost Dibrina Kouwam on the
f line. Are you familiar with these still?

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Who are you talking about?

Speaker 13 (20:27):
Dabrina Kuwam, the woman who was burned alive by the
Guatemala and the legal immigrant.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, she was. It was a woman who and illegal
was here a nut and set her on fire right
on the subway platform there. So it's one year.

Speaker 13 (20:44):
Are you familiar with that station?

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Which station is it?

Speaker 13 (20:48):
Still will Avenue Terminal? Do you know the station? You've
been there?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
No, it's in Brooklyn, right by Nathan's. I've never been
on the subway outside of Manhattan.

Speaker 13 (20:58):
I only take it to Manhattan, one hundred feet away
from where she was killed, right in the center of
the dome. On the overpass is an open space twelve
x thirty six that would make a perfect place for
a stage so that they can play music under that dome.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
It was a terrible, terrible situation. I think you're getting
a little carried away with this. It's a terrible, terrible situation.
Instead of worrying about that, let's worry about doing something
to patrol these subways. We need more protection there, although
it's gotten better. We need Curtis, the Guardian Angels, we
need the police, we need everything there. Wait, I take

(21:40):
that back. I did take the subway once to the
Barclay Center once, but otherwise just Manhattan. Let's go to
lou and Queens Lou.

Speaker 14 (21:48):
How you doing, hey, Mark, I want to comment on Venezuela.
You were absolutely right. I want to bring up something.
They gave no coverage to the great escape of Maria Machado,
who of course was elected first to become the president
of Venezuela. It wasn't to happen. She now had you know,

(22:09):
was escaping to receive the Nobel Prize winner for being
the opposition leader there. Why didn't she get any coverage?
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, do the math. She's a big Trump supporter. She
shared her Nobel prize with Donald Trump. She likes Trump.
She's the good of Venezuelan leader, the one currently there.
Maduro is the crooked, corrupt. So guess guess who the
fake news is defending. Guess which one they're promoting.

Speaker 14 (22:35):
It's sick.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Maduro is supporting Iranian oil, he's supporting the drug cartel.
Guess which one NBC likes, The one who wants to
clean up Venezuela, the woman who likes Trump. Now they're
not supporting her. There behind Maduro, the one with the
drug cartels, the narco terrorist boats, the illegal tankers shipping

(22:59):
Iranian oil to China, Cuba. That's the one their backing.
That's the way they are. So you gotta remember it's
all emotion Democrats. It's very childish. They just get emotional.
Ever they hate, they go crazy, and it's always double standard.
Whatever they go after Trump for doing, you find out

(23:20):
Biden did it four thousand times, Obama did it nine
thousand times. It doesn't matter to them. Hey, you remember
when remember they dropped some illegals in Martha's vineyard. It
was DeSantis. Remember he sent a planeloading. Just dropped these
illegals one morning, all these illegal aliens Martha's vineyard. What
are the Democrats there do? They called the National Guard,

(23:41):
had them deported immediately, no due process at all, just
had them deported. Adam sent the hell out of there. Hey,
when we come back, Howie Carr will be with us.
We'll talk to him next on seven to ten W. R.

Yeah, what's what's good? What's the deal with Amazon's that's
tough to deal with sometimes.

Speaker 10 (24:31):
This was the first time that ever it seemed like
they wanted to actually print the book. So they're they're
printing their their books of their selling.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
And I have my own books.

Speaker 10 (24:42):
It's the same it's the same book, but it's it's
I almost feel like, you know, uh, I'm getting John d.
Rockefeller here with standard oil. You know, they want they
want vertical integration of the product. But that's okay. I'm
selling a lot of books. I'm doing fine. So it's okay,
it's okay. I'm fine with Amazon.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, Hey, Jasmine Crockett. You know, all these these democrats,
one is dumber than the other. They act so dumb,
they say these dumb things. Now she's actually highly educated,
but she's acting very dumb. Is that is this what
you got to do now to be a popular democrat?
Act really dopey?

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (25:20):
I mean, I'm I'm watching all these democrats eating each
other alive, you know. I mean she forced out all Red.
I mean, you know, he was pretty weak, but at
least he had some experience, you know, as a you know,
he was a former Cowboys football player, you know, so
I mean he had some.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Experience in the real world.

Speaker 10 (25:40):
I mean, and now this crazy woman is there, you know,
now you got you know Dan Goldman, I mean, wasn't
he terror isn't he terrible? Enough as a congressman for
New York. But you know, now you got what's his name,
louder is running. The only thing is that he got
arrested trying to you know, interfere with an ice off.

(26:00):
That's his only qualification to run against Goldman. And you
know you got the crazy guy in Maine who claims
he's working class even though he went to the hotch
Kiss School in Connecticut. He promotes himself as working class
against Janet Mills. It's like these Democrats are starting to
you know, really pear each other apart in these upcoming primaries,

(26:21):
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, So it's so crazy to the left. They're all lunatics.
They're on. Is somebody going to come along, like a
Bill Clinton, a moderate rise up before twenty twenty eight
and like lead them back to the middle. Is that
going to happen? You know?

Speaker 10 (26:35):
You know in the baseball in the baseball teams always
see if we got anybody coming up in the farm system.
I think, you know, the Democrats, I don't see any
Bill Clinton's in the farm system, do you.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Josh Shapiro maybe.

Speaker 10 (26:49):
Maybe, But you know he's got the same problem he
had in twenty twenty four. They don't like him because
he's Jewish. Yeah, I mean, isn't that what it boils
down to?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, you got the fetterman's pretty normal, but uh, you
have to keep your eyes.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
I don't know, I.

Speaker 10 (27:08):
Mean, it's still it's still I mean, I I agree
with what you said, and I you know, he has
a higher approval rating among Pennsylvania Republicans the Democrats. But
you know, there is there are these lingering health issues,
you know, don't don't you have to wonder about him?
I mean even if he you know, even if he
did finally decide to you know, put on a pair
of long pants and a tie and all that kind of.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Stuff, you know, I mean, you'd still have to worry
about his health.

Speaker 10 (27:32):
I don't, I don't know, I don't. I don't see
anybody out there that that that is that it's normal
to run. And you know, you got this guy Wes
Moore in Maryland. He's got all these you know, he's
he's got a lot of resume problems, you know, danang
Dick resume problems, you know, bronze stars that weren't issued

(27:54):
and uh, you know, working at Deutsche Bank, which he
apparently wasn't working at I don't under stand all these
people that want to come.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
I'll give you another example.

Speaker 10 (28:02):
That guy Trone in Maryland, the guy who ran for
the Senate, the guy he started Total Wine. So I
mean there's a guy that I mean, he's an uber
successful businessman. So he los, he gives up his seat
in Congress to unsuccessfully run for the Senate, loses, and
then now he wants to come back and run for
Congress against the rich woman who took his place in

(28:25):
his old congressional district.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
You know.

Speaker 10 (28:27):
So it's going to be great for TV ads and
you know in the DC.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Maryland, Baltimore area.

Speaker 10 (28:34):
But I mean, why does a guy that's worth all
that money like Drone want to come back to be
one of four hundred and thirty five congressman.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
I don't get it, do you no?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
What is it? Well? You know they always said to
politics is show business for ugly people. Everybody wants to
do something. You know, if you're not so hot, you
going to Congress. If you've got a personality, you pay
to do a fake podcast. Everybody wants to be a star.
Nobody wants to just be in real life, private life anymore.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
I mean, if I own total wine marks, that would
be enough for me.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Hey you're in Are you in Palm Beach? Now?

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yes, I am.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
What happens there at Christmas time it's a whole different
place Christmas time, right, Well, there aren'tny riots in the street,
unlike Dan Tucker. You saw that on the front page
and you're uposed today. Yeah, there will be. There will
be no violence anywhere. No, it's it's it's it's kind
of interesting. And I've known this going back to you know,
the nineties when I was covering the one of the
Kennedy rape trials in West Palm.

Speaker 10 (29:35):
We were staying in Palm Beach. But you know, like
all the lights in Palm Beach, the Christmas lights, you're
all white, you know, And you know, I don't know.
I like color color lights, you know, and I like
flashing color lights.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (29:52):
So you know we used to we on nights when
there's nothing MUD's going on the trial, all of us
reporters would drive over to West Palm and just see
all the lashing lights.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I still do it.

Speaker 10 (30:01):
I you know, I have my my studio now is
in uh is it West Palm at the iHeart Complex.
And I so like going going and seeing all the
colorful lights West Palm It's going way upscale fast, especially
with Mamdani coming in as mayor. But it's still it's
still like America, you know, as opposed to which you know,

(30:22):
I think I think probably colored colored Christmas lights probably
violate some kind of zoning uh ordnance in the town
up Palm Beach.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeh Hey, you know, the big big real estate guys
are building like crazy West Palm Beach. They're putting a
million skyscrapers, a million office they're gonna you know, they're
not thinking ahead. I've seen this happen in other cities.
They do that, and they forget to make the airport
double the size, they forget to put in more roads, right,
and then it's going to become a nightmare in West
Palm Beach.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
Mark Man, you're still you're still promoting this New York jouvinism,
like the like there's still some future in New York.
I mean the Palm Beach Airport compared to Laguardie or JFK,
I mean it's fantastic. I mean yeah, because it's so
easy to get to. I'm like seven minutes I'm on
the Island. I'm seven minutes away from the airport. You

(31:15):
know how much it cost to parking they in pomp
at the Pombeach International fourteen bucks.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, it's the greatest airport in America because it's small,
there's not much traffic. It's easy, there's not too many people.
I'm just saying, when they build all these buildings and
you've got millions trying to go in and out of
that airport, it's going to be a nightmare. It's it's
not going to be the thing.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
So in other words, it'll be like New York City.
You were through Trump when he was first running, he
used to talk about going to the airport.

Speaker 10 (31:42):
The Phillip Wharton said, it's like going in It's like
being in Bay Roads drag to get into the city
from the airport.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Well, you know what, it's no better now, is it.
It's a little better. But they're opening a casino right
next to it. So good luck. So a Hey, if

All right, calm down, it's gonna be like Deblasio We

(34:32):
got through eight years of that. We'll get through a
couple of years of mom Donnie and uh, all right.
It wasn't great under Deblasio, but we got through it.
We'll get through this too. So hey, you know this
guy Thompson, we're talking about Democrats. They're just nuttier and

(34:53):
nuttier and nuttier, crazier, more far left. Every year. It's
just they get worse and worse. So they're having hearings
yesterday in Congress and christinoam is there to testify about deportation,
about ice, Christy Nome is testifying in the course. The
Democrats with the TV cameras on, they want to, you know,

(35:15):
create some viral moments, so they're yelling and screaming. You
got this crazy left wing. Dan Goldman from New York
yelling at Christineomas.

Speaker 9 (35:23):
As if you're Department of Courts, anyone with an ongoing
asylum application, you are violating the law.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Isn't that correct?

Speaker 6 (35:33):
The asylum program was broken under the list.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Chairman, I will reclaim my time.

Speaker 9 (35:36):
She's not answering the question, but the obvious answer is
that yes, if you follow a lawful pathway. Asylum is
a lawful pathway if you have an open asylum case.
You are here lawfully, but the problem that we are
seeing around the country is that you are not following

(35:58):
the law.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Don't tell us to change the law.

Speaker 9 (36:01):
If you don't like the asylum system, you change the
asylum law.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
This is the problem. He shouldn't allow cameras on these things.
Here's a guy just carrying on for just crazy theatrics
for the camera. He's a smart guy, Goldman, need to
me far left wing kook, but he's a smart guy.
But he's just carrying on for the camera. He has
no interest in her answer. He's not even listening to
her answer. In fact, he's as soon as she talks,
he's just waiting to jump in again and talk. And

(36:27):
he's yelling and screaming and huffing and puffing for the camera.
And he's going and you you carrying on because he
wants to be on the news. Seriously, they should not
allow cameras for these things. But you could also make
the case, you know what, you should have the cameras
there because some of these Democrats are so incredibly stupid

(36:50):
that you need to capture it on camera. Listen to
this Democrat, Congressman Thompson This guy is just an IQ
of maybe maybe eighty. I mean, he's just the dumbest
left wing Democrats. So he's going after Christy Nome and
he gets to the terrible assassination of two National Guard

(37:13):
troops in Washington, d C. This Muslim terrorist shoots two
National Guards and one is a woman, kills her, shoots
her in the head. Listen to this. Thompson discussed the
incident with Christy Noman. Listen to his you won't believe
the words he.

Speaker 15 (37:30):
Uses amount of secretary of you and the gentleman from
c T n CTC reference the unfortunate accident that occurred
with the National guardsman being keel.

Speaker 6 (37:44):
You think that was an unfortunate accident, I mean it's
a terrorist.

Speaker 15 (37:48):
Wait wait look, I'll get it straight, and then you.

Speaker 6 (37:51):
Can shot our National guardsman in the head?

Speaker 15 (37:53):
Look was Sam? Will you direct the witness to allow
me to ask my question? It was an unfortunate situation.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
It's hard to believe a guy this dumb has any
kind of a job. But how the hell is a
guy this dumb a congressman. Listen to it again, and
now it's Christine Noman. It takes her a second to
even process. What he said that you can't believe be
setting in this dumb it's a Muslim terrorist assassinating a
National guardswoman.

Speaker 15 (38:25):
Mantam secretary of you and a gentleman from ct in
CTC reference the unfortunate accident that occurred with the National
guardsman and.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
KIEO you think that was an unfortunate accident.

Speaker 13 (38:41):
I mean it's a terrorist.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Wait wait, look, I'll get it straight.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
Then you can shot our National guardsman in the head.

Speaker 15 (38:47):
Looks Sam, will you direct witness to allow me to
ask my question.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
It's an unbelievable here's the founding father's coming back to
life and finding out this, this imbecile is an actual cause.
Oh I'm laughing. It's not funny, Mike Johnson.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
I'm very privileged in honor today to have my family
with me.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
I like, oh, this is this is Christy notman as
she's testifying, and of course you have a nut job
or two have got into the chamber and they're gonna approach.
This is why they shouldn't allow these cameras in there.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
Actually, I'm very privileged in honor today to have my
family with me.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
I'd like to introduce them to you.

Speaker 9 (39:30):
A deportations disruptions of congressional business is a violation of law.

Speaker 14 (39:35):
It's a criminal offense under federal law.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Audience members are advised to take their seats and maintain order.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Of course, we'll get a desk appearance ticket and that's
it and it's over with. It's not like January sixth,
where if this were the Democrats, they would put this
guy in solitary confinement convicthim for twenty years. He basically
did what everybody on January sixth did. But in this
case it'll be a desk appearance ticket. Curse call that
a disappearance ticket. You don't even have to answer it.

(40:03):
So you get these lunatics and then they take the
governor of Illinois. Problem is you get these really raging
lunatics in office, and then the otherwise smart people start
behaving them like that. You know, Pritzker, who's a billionaire
of businessman, has to act like a nut to be
a successful Democrat. So he's fighting ice. They're trying to

(40:25):
come in and get illegal criminals and gang members off
the street. He's trying to block it. He's trying to
stop it.

Speaker 16 (40:32):
The Chicago region has been subjected to a relentless campaign
of cruelty and intimidation and abuse at the hands of
ICE and Border Patrol agents. Together, we're sending a message
to Donald Trump, to Christy Gnome, to Gregory Bavino and
anyone else seeking to terrorize our people. Your divisiveness and

(40:54):
your brutality are not welcome here.

Speaker 17 (40:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
The message is you leave our criminals alone, leave our
gang members there. Of course Holman has to respond talk
about terrorizing.

Speaker 18 (41:04):
Why don't he talk to the victims of illego crime.
Why don't he do I've done and talk to the
angel moms and dad who buried their children because they
were killed by someone's not supposed to be here while
he talked to you know, called the ICE office and
talk to people that are involved with voice victims of
immigration crime and hear their stories.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
They're the ones that are terrorized.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Like Tom Holman, but give up. You can't explain it.
You can't explain anything to these lunatics. They don't want
to hear it. Here's another guy, IQ eighty five. Maybe
this is a congressman. He's going to impeach Pete Hesith.
Listen to this guy.

Speaker 19 (41:46):
I introduced articles to impeach Secretary Pete hexth for murder
and conspiracy to murder and reckless and unlawful mishandling of
classified information. And his actions are not just reprehensible but
illegal as well.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
I know you're saying, what an idiot, what the hell?
Why is it's not going to go anywhere? You know,
don't get yourself the sky, get on the view. He'll
get on MS whatever they call it. He'll get on CNN. Hey,
some bad news. They tried once again to indict Letitia James.
It went before a grand jury, this time in Alexandria, Virginia.

(42:26):
The grand jury refused to indict. That's tough, and a
second time. Second time a grand jury didn't indict. Usually
pretty easy to get a grand jury to go along.
So this is not looking good here. First you had
a judge. Now you could say, well, they'll bring it again.
Hopefully they will, but you got to be careful. You know,
you do this too many times. It looks like you're

(42:48):
grand jury shopping. And even the CNN guy here as
a point, this is over.

Speaker 20 (42:54):
We have never I can point to no case in
the last twenty years where you've had a case thrown
out a judge. Then you had a grand jury refused
to indict it, which is very hard to do. Then
you had a second grand jury a week later refused
to re reindict it.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah, but if you look at all the stuff she's done,
you could tell this is one sleazy woman. They'll find something,
they'll they'll get her on something before they're done. Hey,
remember a George Soros is a company bought a lot
of radio groups and radio stations and radio companies. It
was a couple of years ago. They got FCC approval.

(43:31):
It was Biden at the time. So the Soros fund
owns a lot of radio. Everybody worried, well, they try
to tamper with conservative radio. That kind of swell. Know,
they bought a lot of AM stations. They just shut
one of them down. It's in Miami. It's a Spanish station,
but it's a conservative Spanish station. It's conservative stuff for

(43:51):
the Spanish community in Miami. The Soros group just shut
it down, just took it off the air, claiming for
financial reasons. They took it. Well, very important voice in
the Miami Spanish community, a conservative voice though, so they
just shut it down. It's gone. As I said, Mom, Donnie, uh.

(44:12):
Two weeks three weeks from yesterday, takes office. Three weeks
from yesterday, Mom Donnie takes office. They'll have the inauguration.
It looks like Adams is not going to go. He's
making quite a stink about not going. Says he hasn't decided,
but it sounds like he's not going. That's unusual. There's
always always, always the previous mayor there. That'll be unusual.

(44:34):
He'll be sworn in. I guess that night he goes
to Gracie Mansion to stay there for the first night.
He's the youngest mayor ever. He also, you know, he
has no kids. I'm trying to think, Oh, ed Kotch,
but him. I guess ed Coach was the only other
mayor that didn't have kids. If we ever had a
mayor with no children ed Cotch. Uh, Mom Donnie, I

(44:57):
think that. But you know, Mom Donnie hasn't been married
very long. He just got married at the beginning of
the year, February he got married. Yeah, he's only been
married like ten months to this seemingly a nice woman
and he's got to be nuts. He's married to Mom Donnie,
but they met on the dating app Hinge. Hinge is
a very good app, and I notice. You know, normally

(45:19):
if you're a dating app, you do some advertising promote yourself.
That's a pretty good coup. Hey, you the mayor of
New York met his wife on hinge. I noticed they're
not using it for any kind of advertise. I guess
they don't even they don't want to be tied to mom. Donnie. Hey,
it's Frank Sinatra's one hundred and tenth birthday today. It's

(45:41):
a big day. December twelfth, the birthday of Frank Sinatra.
He was the greatest singer ever in the history of music,
the biggest star of the twentieth century. You don't realize
how big this guy was and how long. You know,
you could be really big for ten years, twenty years.
Look at the Beatles, you know, they were really only there.

(46:02):
I mean they came to America in sixty four, but
they broke up in nineteen seventies, so it was really
six years. It was really sixty two because they were
very big in Europe first, but that's eight years. So
that was it. You know, Sinatra was like on top
of the world, performing all over the world for decades

(46:23):
and decades. You know, when he started Herbert Hoover was president,
and when he stopped, Bill Clinton was president. That's a long,
long run of being on top. He was very good
at evolving, at changing himself. There were different Sinatras every decade.
He was the boys singer with the bow tie Little
Frankie in the forties. Then he came back in the

(46:46):
fifties as the older nightclub pal Joey singer. And then
in the sixties he was the rat pack Las Vegas guy,
and then you know, that didn't work out, and that
was huge, but then in the seventies it wasn't working
so he switched and he did what a lot of
these singers have to realize. Billy Joel figured it out,
McCartney figured it out. He got to stop trying to

(47:08):
be the contemporary, churning out top forty hits kind of
a guy and switch as you get older and become
the elder statesman, where all you do is just travel
the world doing these big, grand concerts, these big events
the Elder States and doing concerts and that's it. And
that's what he did for the last twenty years very successfully.

(47:29):
Sinatra was you know, he lived in California, but he
also really more than half the time. He lived in
New York, right over there of the Waldorf Apartment thirty
three A. How's that for a memory. But he loved
New York. He was out all night. Wherever he was
in the world, he'd be out all night. In fact,
when Sinatra would invite you to dinner, you'd bring sunglasses

(47:50):
because it might be noon by the time you got home.
It would just go all night long. Dinner was huge.
It was always thirty people, forty people. You know. Sometimes
I'd see a guy and he'd be all excited. Frank
invited me to dinner tonight, and the guy was so thrilled.
I didn't have the heart to tell him, dinner's forty people.

(48:11):
You're gonna be like fourteen seats away. And that guy
would say, I was thinking about what I want to
talk about with him, and I didn't have the heart
to tell him. You're not going to get a word
in all night. He's going to talk NonStop. You won't
get to say anything. But it was always fun. It
was always incredible, and he was an incredible tipper. You know.
He would this that famous story. He was leaving the

(48:33):
place and he gave the doorman. He said to the doorman,
what's the biggest tip you ever got? And the doorman
said one hundred dollars. That was a fortune back then.
So Sinatra said one hundred dollars, here's two hundred. Door
man couldn't believe it. And a Sinatra's leaving, he turned around,
he says, hey, who gave you the hundred? He goes,
you did a few months ago. So he had to

(48:54):
keep topping his own record. But he was just an
unbelievable guy, the most generous guy in the world. All
these great you know there was. He had beautiful art
all over his house, beautiful, incredible, very expensive paintings and everything.
There was the violinist Eleanor Slatkin, who played on a
lot of his records, Eleanor Slatkin, and he saw her

(49:16):
in the house at a party. She'd come to a
big dinner party. She was staring at one painting and
he said, you like that? She said, oh what, I
love that painting. So anyway, they went into the dinner
and all that, and hours later she's leaving and gets
into her car and there's the painting wrapped up in
the backseat of her car. That's the way. It was
just very very generous and incredible guy. You know, if

(49:42):
you haven't done it in a while, go back and
start listening to Sinatra music. I'm sure you do now
and then, but seriously listen to it. Go go on
wherever you get your music, and just listen to We
Small Hours of the Morning. Go listen to the whole
album or only the Lonely or any of those. We'll
take some calls. Next eight, we'll talk to the world's
greatest polster. In a few let's see where Trump really
stands and what the real issues are, and we'll take

(50:03):
some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten at a.

Speaker 21 (50:36):
Do you remember a theatre critic that used to be
on WOR in the mornings by m O'Brien.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Jack O'Brien. Yes, yes, he was actually a big writer
for the Was it the Daily News of the World
Telegram on one of those things, and Jack O'Brien, yeah,
used to anyway, the show was called Critics Circle. I
actually knew the guy. It was very late in his life.
Not the nicest guy in the world. I never really
liked him.

Speaker 21 (51:02):
But go ahead, Well, well about Sinatra, he had some
kind of feud or he hated Sinatra.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Well, uh, Jack O'Brien, he was this guy, could have
a feud with anybody. If you met him for two minutes,
you'd hate the guy. I mean, he just not a
nice guy. I'd argue about anything and everything.

Speaker 21 (51:21):
Can I tell you you know the man? I didn't.
But can I tell you my favorite Sinatra quote?

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Go ahead?

Speaker 21 (51:28):
Is it when he was freshed about this mob connections
early on, right, he says, any of the checks were
always good?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
All right? You know, Well, it's too much to get
into the whole mob thing. He wasn't the mob singer
he was made out to me. He loved the mob.
He romanticized that he chased after these mobsters. He loved
hanging out with him. There were other guys in the music,
other famous singers who were so mob connected, way beyond Sinatra.
But Sinatra liked to play it up a lot. Let's

(51:59):
go to day in Chicago, Dave.

Speaker 13 (52:01):
How you doing, Good morning, Mark.

Speaker 22 (52:03):
I'm doing very well. Thank you, Mark. I have a
couple of Frank Sinatra questions, if I may go ahead.
I know he had a record label called Reprise Records.
The Night, Yeah, I had heard that he did not
like the song. And the second question is regarding the

(52:24):
rat Pack. I had heard that Angie Dickinson was a member.

Speaker 12 (52:27):
Is this true?

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Yes, she was in the movie Ocean's Eleven. She was
a member of the rat Pack. Strangers in the Night. Yes,
he did hate that song. He didn't like my Way,
couldn't stand it, hated paul Anka. Despite anything paul Anka,
I tell you, Sinatra was not a big paul Anka fan.

Speaker 19 (52:45):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
In fact, it's the concert for the America's. You can
get the video the concert for the America's whenever it
was big TV special and we're going to film the concert.
He had to do Strangers in the Night. He hated
the song. But if you get a concert for the Americas,
he does Strangers in the Night and at the end
people are applauding and applauding. You see him go over

(53:07):
and say something to Vinnie Falcone, the pianist and conductor.
And I said the Falcon, what did he say to you?
And he said he went over and said, that's the
worst Fens song ever written. He didn't, he said the
actual effort. So I went back and I got the
you can barely hear it, but if you turn it
up real loud, put your ear right up there, you

(53:28):
can hear him say that to Vinnie Fellcone. Let's go
to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

Speaker 17 (53:35):
Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning Marah. Mark. You
may remember the theater critic of the New York Times,
Andrew Saris.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Well, yeah, I didn't know him. I know the name.

Speaker 17 (53:45):
Yeah, he lived in my building. He was more lived
in my apartment building.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
There's more of a film critic.

Speaker 17 (53:49):
Wasn't he He was. I was very young when hed
in my house. But anyway, he lived in my house
with my well and my family owned the building. What
I wanted to say is it would be easy to
bring a case against Letitia James in New York because
here it's black and white. It wasn't in Virginia. But here.

(54:13):
At first off, we would go to Brooklyn because she
owns the property in Brooklyn and she listed it as
a four family. It's a five family. And also there's here.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Well, you're also you're right about the law, but you
can't bring the case in New York because you got
New York judges, new York jury's they'll never do anything.

Speaker 17 (54:31):
But though't they have the same crooked problem in Virginia.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Mind? Yeah, apparently, but in New York forget it. You
know that case she brought against Sinatra, not Sinatra Trump,
the case she brought against Trump. No judge, jury anywhere
in the world would allow that, no court room, but
only here in New York, crazy left wing judges.

Speaker 17 (54:50):
Yeah, you're right, Bouck, you're right. Probably it would be
like a lead balloon here. But I just thought because
maybe with the insurance company, because you.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Gotta get it anytime you're in a New York court,
new York judge, new York jurors, forget it. You got
no shot that's topped.

Speaker 17 (55:07):
Unfortunately, you're probably right.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Marked All right, great call, Thanks for Colin. We'll take
a break for the news, get caught up on everything,
and then we'll talk to the greatest polster in the world.
You're being bombarded with fake polls right now. Ap those
kind of crazy left wing slanted place we'll get We'll
get the real story. Helse. Let's see what kind of
what he thinks about Bruce Blakeman, who's going to be governor.

(55:29):
We'll get to that too, coming up next on seven
to ten w o R.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
The Mark the Moon Show on WR.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Well, you know, you see all these public polls, these junkie, cheap,
little flimsy poles. But let's talk to the greatest pollster
in the world. I mean, the real poles are behind
the scenes, the ones that candidates use pay a fortune for.
But there's here's the best pollster on earth, John McLaughlan.
His website McLachlan online dot com. But he's been the

(56:01):
poster for presidents, prime minister's, premiers, senators all over the world.
John McLaughlin, how you doing.

Speaker 12 (56:07):
I'm doing well, because that's a very very nice introduction.
But as well as having survived three presidential campaigns with
President Trump where he made his polster look good, I'll
accept it. He credit goes to him and the other
the other elected officials work force. So I just take
the polls.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
We'll get to him in a moment. Let's start with
the governor's race here in New York next year. Bruce
Blakeman alis Stephonic. To me, they're both very popular. I
think Blakeman would be the better choice because he's what
he does right now is he's a governor. He's the
governor of Nasau County. She's a legislator, he's a governor.
But where does it stand pole wise?

Speaker 12 (56:48):
Well exactly, I mean, well, first of all, there's only
been one poll that was a serious poll that was
put out there, and that was the cien Pol. And
the Cenopol had Congresswoman's Stephonic losing by twenty points. I
had her upside down. She was twenty eight favorable, thirty
six unfavorable. They didn't even put Bruce in it. So

(57:09):
even though you know Kathy Hochel is very beatable, she's
not popular and most people when somebody knew the congresswoman's
losing to her by twenty points. And I worked for
Lee's Eldon last time. At some point we hit a
wall with forty seven percent, but it was close enough
that we gained congressional seats in New York. And the

(57:31):
bad part about this is somebody like Bruce. Let me
tell you about Bruce. The election he had in Nassau
County was defied the national trends, where he got re
elected with twelve percent in an eight point Democrat county
because he's cut taxes and he's kept the taxes low.
Plus he hired hundreds of more police and worked with
ice and it's the safest county in America. So Bruce,

(57:56):
like in Nassau County, in our post election surveyce well,
the voters gave him a twelve point you know, landslide
and a carry.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Through the rest of the ticket.

Speaker 12 (58:05):
He brought all these other Republicans in with them, and
the rest of the state they were losing, like fifty
Republican county legislators upstate. They were you know, taking losses
in Syracuse and other places. And you know, even like
in Stuffic we lost Riverhead. And so there's there's we
need somebody like Bruce who can win among Hispanic votes.

(58:27):
He won among Hispanic votes, he won among Asian voters,
he won among Jewish voters. I mean in New York
you have to get thirty five percent of the vote
in New York City to win president Trump, you know,
got thirty percent. Zeldon got thirty percent, but the Lease
is not getting that, and a lease, you know is
the bad part is if you get if you can't

(58:47):
win the New York suburbs and you can't win New
York enough vote in New York City, you know, the
Anirondacks aren't going to make it up. So upstate, you know, well,
the Republicans are fighting for existence because the other thing
Hulkle did was she moved a lot of the id elections.
He's town supervisors, a county. Later studies they moved into

(59:08):
the even year behind the governor's race. So not only
will we have trouble trying to like defeat Laura Gillen
in the Democrat in in CD four Nassau County or
Tom Swasey and Nassau County. Uh, you might have Republicans
like Nicole Mally Takas, Nicololota, one of my favorite, Mike Waller.

(59:30):
Uh An upstate, you're gonna have a lot of problems
trying to get the Congress the Republican of Congress reelected,
and uh Bruce changes the whole makeup of the race.
He's running on a positive record, a positive view. He's
definitely a Trump Conservative. He had we had President Trump
out at the Ryder Cup in Nassau County during the campaign,

(59:52):
and it was it was turned into like a between
Bruce and President Trump. It was like a USA rally.
It was like Trump camp around me and you know
so and President Trump after after he visited his job.
A rule in National Academy was fifty seven percent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
So Blakely would be the best governor. There's no better choice.
But people say, you can't win a Republican, cannot win
in New York City as mayor Republican. And I'm starting
to think we haven't had a Republican governor in twenty years,
have we?

Speaker 12 (01:00:22):
And no George for Taki that was it's I mean
he served three terms and and and Bruce is a
lot like George, where you know, he has that personal appeal.
I mean, President Trump says, you know, Bruce is out
of central casting. He's very likable and and like that.
Siena Poli I cided, I mean, Elise's twenty eight favorable

(01:00:42):
thirty six unfairbles she's already that negative in New York
State among the voters that nowhere but.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
A Republican Republican can win New York.

Speaker 12 (01:00:49):
Right, definitely, a Republican could win New York because in
that same poem referring to most voters want somebody new
for governor and uh, you know, well they want somebody new,
but they're saying, well, least isn't it. So let's let's
give Bruce some time to build some support and show
he could potentially beat Kathy Hochel. So you know that's uh,

(01:01:15):
you know, we need change in New York.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
And uh, definitely right, you're.

Speaker 12 (01:01:19):
You're familiar with you know, I mean, and that was
with Mayor elect Mundai. Uh, you're going to need a
governor to be a check and balance, particularly if the
legislature gives in on him, like Bruce has pointed out
that Kathy Hochele now wants to raise the corporate tax
in New York from seven percent to eleven percent. Well,
that'll be passed on to consumers. That won't be good

(01:01:41):
for cost of living.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
He could and could you guys start using the word tariffs.
I love to do that. When they talk about raising
the corporate tax, it's a tariff. So Democrats want to
now put tariffs on the corporations in New York. It's
the same thing.

Speaker 12 (01:01:54):
The difference. No tariffs are on you know, that's on
foreign things coming out to the unit. We're talking about.
This is domestic. This is your jobs in New York.
The people that you might work for in New York.
If they get if their corporate taxes go from seven
to eleven here, they go to Texas and Florida and Tennessee,

(01:02:14):
and you know it's it's not good. So they you know,
we could lose jobs because of them, and then the
prices get passed on and so hey, we need we
need to like Bruce to stop that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Yeah, no, definitely, Bruce Blakeman. Hey, I'm watching The Morning
Joe this morning. Apparently Donald Trump has the worst poll
numbers ever. He's dying, He's gonna be, uh the lowest.
What what's the real truth?

Speaker 12 (01:02:40):
We had? And it's on our website. The day before Thanksgiving,
we put out a national survey, We put out a
monthly national survey, and President Trump has a fifty job
approval forty six disapprove among likely voters, people that will
show up next November and vote for members of Congress
and Senate. And you know, I think it could be
it could be, but we've got we've got to sell

(01:03:02):
them that they you know, ironically, that the economy is
doing better. Economy and inflation are still the top issues,
and Biden is responsible for most of the inflation he's
dealing with right now. But President Trump had a great
night on Tuesday night when he was out in uh
Pennsylvania talking about the fact that wages are now growing

(01:03:23):
faster than the rate of inflation. And you know, the
tax cuts, the no tax cuts on tips, on overtime,
on Social Security, they don't kick in till January. So
when they start kicking in, you know, our friends like
Larry Kudlow, Steve Moore that you know very well, Steve Forbes,
that's when you'll get even better growth in the economy.

(01:03:43):
And uh so I think that'll that will help us
next year so that we can keep keep the House
and keep the Senate in UH in Washington, and President
Trump will be out on the campaign trail doing what
he did on Tuesday night talking about the real facts
about how how the economy is in better shape than
I think, as you said, Joe Scarborough or whatever they said,

(01:04:06):
you know, I mean, before they go back to Connecticut
and their dry limos and stuff like that. But we
think we need to. I mean, President Trump is going
to make it better for working class voters and this
affordability issues. As Bruce Blakeman showed us in Nasau, Democrats
can't be for affordability when they want to raise your taxes.

(01:04:28):
I mean, how that's the least affordable thing if the
four years of buying inflation to pay higher taxes in
every Democrat for Congress or for Senate voted for to
let the Trump tax cuts lapse, which would eraise taxes
two or three thousand dollars on every American. And we
can't afford that. And Pal's not lower and interest rates

(01:04:50):
fast enough because mortgage rates are still high, credit card
rates are still high. We got to get rid of him,
and we got to look at Trump tax cuts work,
and friends like Iricolo with Almas, they gonna have a
boom this year.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Yeah, and next year. Actually, starting January, the big beautiful
bill kicks in. Everybody's going to notice a big difference
in their paychecks starting in January. Well, John McLoughlin, great stuff.
People can go to your website. What can they see
up there at McLaughlan online dot.

Speaker 12 (01:05:17):
Com McLachlan online dot com. You will find the National
survey that I spoke about, and you'll you'll see that.
And then we actually have a history of surveys on
that that go way back, the ones that had Trump
beating Kamala Harris and beating Joe Biden before that. But
the press, the media didn't say that was going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Yeah, well, everybody go check it out. And you had
it right. Well, thanks to you. But he's the best
poster on earth. He's the real polls, not the fake public,
but the best poster on earth. And John McLoughlin's website

with Epstein. Pictures of Woody Allen in Epstein's dining room
at home and his house, and Bill Gates at his house,
Steve Bannon and Epstein's office, two of them alone. Now
there's a couple of Trump pictures. They'll say, ah, there's

(01:07:07):
Trump with Epstein. But you'll notice that all the Trump pictures,
he's obviously at a party with hundreds of people. Oh
there's a picture of him with six women. Yeah, it's
obviously the party. They're all dressed up and they got
those Hawaiian lays around their neck. It's obviously some kind
of party and he's there. Everybody's dressed up there in
a big ballroom or something, so it's not that significant.

(01:07:32):
