Speaker 1: John Good morning, buddy, how are you.
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm doing well. And uh, it's a lot
Speaker 2: of pressure, put a lot of pressure on the polster.
Speaker 2: We just take the balls to report it.
Speaker 3: No, you're the best, and all your clients Mike Lawler,
Speaker 3: BB nuts and yow.
Speaker 1: President Trump thrown on my show. All your clients.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've told the President I wrote his coattails as
Speaker 2: as I see. As long as President Trump is there
Speaker 2: in office and we've won, you can say all the
Speaker 2: nice things about me that you want a lot.
Speaker 3: And do you think and I know you don't want
Speaker 3: to put words in the President's mouth, I want to
Speaker 3: ask you to do it anyway, Okay, but that's fine.
Speaker 3: Do you think President Trump was happy or unhappy with JD.
Speaker 1: Vans yesterday? Just your opinion.
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't heard from about it, but I
Speaker 2: think the President's focused on winning the war. And I
Speaker 2: ran and uh, you know he's he's trying to do this,
Speaker 2: he's trying to negotiate with terrorists. And you know, you
Speaker 2: hear these other people talk about moderate terrorists. There's no
Speaker 2: such thing. It's an oxy moron. And you know he's
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm sure he's trying to do this peacefully.
Speaker 2: But he's got two goals. One is stopping Iran from
Speaker 2: getting nuclear weapons. And by the way, in our last
Speaker 2: jum poll, seventy six percent of all Americans approved of
Speaker 2: that and when and about also stopping Iran from funding
Speaker 2: international terrorism, and seventy five percent of all Americans support that.
Speaker 2: So he's got these big two objectives that he's trying
Speaker 2: to accomplish, and the problem is the Iranians don't want
Speaker 2: to do that, so they want to they keep firing
Speaker 2: on our ships and they keep, you know, they want
Speaker 2: to close the straight over moves and they keep, you know,
Speaker 2: it's just right now. They can't. They don't have the
Speaker 2: power to attack Israel. But these guys, we've done poles
Speaker 2: in the United States and in America where six out
Speaker 2: of ten Americans and six out of ten Israelis think
Speaker 2: that if Iran had nuclear missiles, they would shoot them
Speaker 2: at the United States, in Iran Israel and it's and
Speaker 2: they you know, they would, And that's what they're proving
Speaker 2: because they have lob missiles. You've been in Israel, I've
Speaker 2: been there, missiles into Israel, and Americans would never tolerate
Speaker 2: this thing. Never come on all night in bomb shelters
Speaker 2: because of these terrorists, and whether it's rockets from his
Speaker 2: bowler or whether it's missiles straight from Iran. You know,
Speaker 2: Israel's that strongest ally in the Middle East, and they're
Speaker 2: the only democracy there, and uh, you know that everybody
Speaker 2: around them wants to wipe them out.
Speaker 1: So it's what do you think, though, John?
Speaker 3: You know, the anti Semites, anti Zionist, anti Israel, whatever.
Speaker 1: You want to call them, they're so loud, right, They're
Speaker 1: so loud.
Speaker 3: They got their podcasts, and you got a lot of politicians,
Speaker 3: specifically on the left that yell and scream this. But
Speaker 3: when I talked to smart people like you, smart people,
Speaker 3: they go sid, Sid, Trust me, this country is still
Speaker 3: maybe even overwhelmingly, but at the risk of argument, this
Speaker 3: country is still pro Israel, pro Jewish. Were not a
Speaker 3: bunch of anti Semites.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Well, I think I think there
Speaker 2: is anti Semitism is rising, and I think that you know,
Speaker 2: the President may speak about this tonight. There are foreign
Speaker 2: pallors or influences that try to influence our elections because
Speaker 2: our strength is our democracy and freedom of speech, and
Speaker 2: people try to turn that against us. But there's a
Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of internet chatter trying to
Speaker 2: affect the Trump base saying that, you know, Thomas Massey
Speaker 2: when you talked about him, Thomas Massey, we did the
Speaker 2: polling for the for the President's allies to you know,
Speaker 2: knock him off in the primary, and we did because
Speaker 2: he was voting against President Trump on everything from tax
Speaker 2: cuts whenever the Republicans need to vote, he was never there,
Speaker 2: and securing the border, he wasn't there. And he, you know,
Speaker 2: the night he loses, he's talking about Tel Aviv and stuff.
Speaker 2: He's there's this anti semitism out they that's on the rise.
Speaker 2: We see it where in New York is. I got
Speaker 2: friends who tell me they can't wear gamachas and they
Speaker 2: should do that.
Speaker 1: They should leave it on.
Speaker 2: But still it's it's it's a reality. And you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm helping Bruce Blakeman run for
Speaker 2: governor and anti Semitism is a real problem. And Bruce
Speaker 2: is doing very well with the voters, and particularly with
Speaker 2: Jewish voters. But when you look at the United States,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's face is rock solid. We had in his
Speaker 2: list in that same pole I mentioned he had a
Speaker 2: fifty percent approval rating, and he had a forty six disapprove.
Speaker 2: The Republicans, it's eighty eight to ten. Conservatives, it's seventy
Speaker 2: nine to seventeen. And that's the point about look at
Speaker 2: these primaries. Virtually everyone he endorses wins because he's reshaped
Speaker 2: the Republican Party into a movement that's this make America
Speaker 2: First movement that is is is really solid, and they
Speaker 2: support him because they know his objectives are right, keeping
Speaker 2: America strong, keeping America prosperous, reducing inflation, helping us with
Speaker 2: the cost of living, securing the borders. And he's a businessman.
Speaker 2: He keeps his promises. He's not He's not a politician
Speaker 2: who just reads the polls and asks what do I
Speaker 2: need to do? I mean, he goes and he decides
Speaker 2: on I'm gonna have no tax on tips, and then
Speaker 2: we have to pull it right, find out if it's popular,
Speaker 2: which was it.
Speaker 1: Was very popular.
Speaker 3: John McGowan's you mentioned Bruce Blakeman. My son is actually
Speaker 3: working for Bruce D. Boor for gab Rosenberg. And he
Speaker 3: loves him, and I love him, and you know, he
Speaker 3: keeps saying the same thing I said to Bruce. Last week,
Speaker 3: John I said, Bruce, is there an undue amount of
Speaker 3: pressure on you? Because you hear this every day, even
Speaker 3: I've said it, new.
Speaker 1: York is done.
Speaker 3: If you don't win, you are the only person I
Speaker 3: can save New York, between Mom, Donnie and hokel And
Speaker 3: he was honest, he said, Sid, you know what, it
Speaker 3: is a lot of pressure, but but if somebody's got
Speaker 3: to do it, I want to be the guy to
Speaker 3: do it. So the last week saw those polls went
Speaker 3: from he went from twenty seven down to I believe
Speaker 3: six down six? Is that what your most recent poll says, Well,
Speaker 3: that was.
Speaker 2: A published Paul. We haven't. I haven't done it to stay.
Speaker 2: Why Paul for Bruce since March? Because he's raising money
Speaker 2: right now, two million resources. I see pauls from around
Speaker 2: the state all the time, and he's winning in upstate
Speaker 2: districts on the island, he's winning really well. And but
Speaker 2: for the Republicans, I mean, he's the only thing going
Speaker 2: on to help like our candidates for Congress and other offices.
Speaker 2: Because because the candidates for Congress behind him are doing well,
Speaker 2: and Hulko and Democrats know it, and they're going off
Speaker 2: on this this crazy big government socialist march where if
Speaker 2: Bruce doesn't win, it's really bad for those of us
Speaker 2: who decide to stay and live in New York. And
Speaker 2: you know, will fate's future taxes. The city's in the
Speaker 2: deficit for billions, the states in the deficit for billions.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: People, you know, everybody talks about people leaving. Bruce is
Speaker 2: worried about the people that are staying because their kids
Speaker 2: are here, their grandkids are here, their businesses are here.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know when they told them out those
Speaker 2: millionaires who left New York and that course ten billion
Speaker 2: dollars in revenue, most of those are small business owners.
Speaker 2: When they leave New York, they take their jobs with them,
Speaker 2: so you know, they're subchepter escorps. They pay, they pay
Speaker 2: the taxes that and you know, for New York State,
Speaker 2: this election, Mandami gets whatever he wants for Governor hokeel
Speaker 2: And and if he you know, he wants to raise
Speaker 2: property taxes in New York City, he wants the state
Speaker 2: to raise income in corporate taxes. I mean, if Bruce
Speaker 2: doesn't win, but we're gonna, yeah, we're gonna let alone crime.
Speaker 2: They're gonna shut right this island and you know, so,
Speaker 2: so Bruce is running because he knows he has to
Speaker 2: win and he really wants to. You know, he wants
Speaker 2: to do it for New York. He loves New York.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's he's doing a great job
Speaker 2: in National County. But he didn't have to run for this,
Speaker 2: and it's a difficult race. The fundraising probably is the
Speaker 2: hardest part because you know, you got Hkell tried not
Speaker 2: to give him the matching funds, which was legal and deserved.
Speaker 2: You've got the you got her trying to you know,
Speaker 2: threaten dollars et cetera, where they whether she doesn't. Because
Speaker 2: if Bruce gets money, the people that know them both equally,
Speaker 2: when they see them both, if Bruce's favorables rise, they
Speaker 2: vote for Bruce. They'd rather see him as governor than huh.
Speaker 3: All right, about two minutes ago, I'm talking about JD.
Speaker 3: Evans all morning, I want Marco Rubio. But the people
Speaker 3: I speak to, big time people, Okay, They're like, it
Speaker 3: ain't gonna happen. Trump is going to endorse JD. And
Speaker 3: Rubio is not even going to run. So are you
Speaker 3: doing polls leading up to the next presidential election that
Speaker 3: include Rubio with Vans or you're you leaving Rubio out.
Speaker 2: Well, just for the record, my brother Jim and I
Speaker 2: were focused on November three. We've got to have our
Speaker 2: candidates succeed this November because if we don't win, these
Speaker 2: big government socialists that get elected to Congress and other
Speaker 2: offices from the Democrats, they will be the tail wagging
Speaker 2: the dog. So we're focused on that. But in the meantime,
Speaker 2: we do on our website, I'm a Glachlan online dot com,
Speaker 2: we publish a national poll like every month of you know,
Speaker 2: who's leading for among Republicans and Democrats. And among the
Speaker 2: Democrats you got Kamala Harris at twenty six percent, Newsom
Speaker 2: at sixteen, AOC at nine, and who to j edged eight,
Speaker 2: so you know, but and then for the Republicans, we've
Speaker 2: got JD at thirty five and Marco at fifteen and
Speaker 2: Don Trump Junior fourteen. So it's so it's like there's
Speaker 2: a lot going to happen based on November fourth, based
Speaker 2: on November third, that's fair, yeah, and it will probably
Speaker 2: be a free for all. But you know what, let's
Speaker 2: get through November third, where we can hold the House.
Speaker 2: We can we can hold the Senate and then at
Speaker 2: the same time, you know, we got to get guys
Speaker 2: like Michaelawla reelected. We got to get we wanted. We
Speaker 2: want to win the seats in Long Island. Uh, you
Speaker 2: know in Nassau County, the third and the fourth I
Speaker 2: mean Janine Driscoll and Michael petri A running. We've got
Speaker 2: really important elections to focus on between now November third
Speaker 2: November fourth, you know, it'll be a free for all.
Speaker 3: Right, then we'll talk about the president right mayor's race.
Speaker 3: So then I'm gonna put you got to put your
Speaker 3: balls on the line. Yeah McLaughlin, what you don't mind doing.
Speaker 3: That's why we love you. I know. Do you think honestly,
Speaker 3: I know you're working hard. Okay, Do you think honestly
Speaker 3: that I'll be in a good mood on November fourth? Uh?
Speaker 2: They I think you will be. You know, because the
Speaker 2: convention that's coming up in Dallas, we are going to
Speaker 2: show not only how successful the Republicans have been, you know,
Speaker 2: in securing the border, growing the economy, reducing inflation, etc.
Speaker 2: We are going to show the contrast between the big
Speaker 2: government socialists and the Republicans because now it's not going
Speaker 2: to be an election where it's just a referendum on
Speaker 2: Trump and the Republicans, and Donald Trump's not on the ballot,
Speaker 2: but we have to get the seventy seven million people
Speaker 2: that voted for him, where we won the popular vote,
Speaker 2: swept the battleground states. We've got to get them out again.
Speaker 2: And uh, we've got to fire them up, because if
Speaker 2: we don't get them out, you will have all the
Speaker 2: Democrats who voted for the fortraitwillion dollar tax incriests. They're
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna raise taxes like crazy. They're going to
Speaker 2: they're going to open the borders. They don't want voter IDs,
Speaker 2: they don't want proof of citizenship. Elections will be meaningless.
Speaker 2: Uh so we've we've there's big stakes in it, and
Speaker 2: it should be a contrast election. You know you want
Speaker 2: Shelley A if she's gonna be the tail wig in
Speaker 2: the door.
Speaker 1: I know, I know if she's animos, he's cross.
Speaker 2: Those big governments. Medicare for All, that's government controlled healthcare.
Speaker 2: They I mean, you will pay. California thought about doing it,
Speaker 2: they said we can't afford it, so we won't do it.
Speaker 2: But you'll have to wait for your doctors. Your doctors
Speaker 2: will be government employees. We'll go back to that where
Speaker 2: we're arguing, you know what they're doing in terms of
Speaker 2: and and then they'll be paying people not to work.
Speaker 2: Right now you have workfare and they're saying, oh, you're
Speaker 2: dropping people from the role.
Speaker 1: It'll be a disaster.
Speaker 3: There's no question, Johnny, I got a run, I got
Speaker 3: Larry Trump, Bill O'Reilly and Klay Travis about to come up.
Speaker 3: But is always a well of information. Excellent segment. I
