1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: It's more Mark, Mark Simone on seven to ten. Woor Well, 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: let's talk to the dean himself. Ed Rollins has been 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: in a lot of white houses. He's run a lot 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: of campaigns, some of the most successful in the world. 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: Ed Rollins, how you doing. 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark? 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: How are you very good? Hey? The idea of ice 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: getting criminals off the street good thing. Buying Greenland it 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: be a good thing. But does the White House have 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: a messaging problem that they're not explaining things correctly or 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: enough to. 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 2: Get they are? You know, the reality is, as we've 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: talked before, this is so much coming every day. But 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: let me just say this. What the speech you just made. 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: This was Trump's thought process. He laid out his thinking. 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: He laid out you know, it's not always coherent. But 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: the critical message was there's no going to be invasion 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: of Greenland, which a lot of people were worried about 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: Brightley or wrongly. Secondly, Greenland is still very important to Trump, 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: and he says this has been picked up in much 21 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: the analysis Hit but this is where it wants to 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: put the Golden Dome. The Golden Dome is a structure 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: over is Israel that basically knocks down drones and what 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: have you. Reagan had talked about it with the Star 25 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: Wars program forty years ago. It's an expensive not totally developed, 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: not certainly funded yet. But I think there's no question 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: that's that's his intent is to put a golden dome there, 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: which obviously if you view the world in a different 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: way and certainly the way he thinks, uh the engage 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: and call him they called him glom that way. The 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: critical the critical thing here, I think is that this 32 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: will be a speech that will be studied long after 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: Trump is out of office. Really today's really because this 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: really is a thought process. This is what he thinks 35 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: of his allies, is what he thinks of. This is 36 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: his style. And I think you know, you couldn't You 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: couldn't say down and say all right, this is all 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: all the subjects. But it's a thought process. This is 39 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: it's been repeated over and over again, but this was 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: a different form. This was a form of where you 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: had people in any business, leaders, what have you. And 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: he's very open his thought process. He certainly wasn't willing 43 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: to pat himself on the back, justifiably for some of 44 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 2: the things that he's done, pushed credit away from some 45 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: of the things that Europeans think they've done. And I 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't say it was a friendly speech. It was sort 47 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: of like, here's my thought process. I'm the most significant 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: leader in the world, had the biggest military in the world, 49 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: and that's what my thought process is. And you need 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: to study it, you need to analyze it. So I 51 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: think I think there'll be a lot of there'll be 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: a lot of commentary, it'll be negative towards it. But 53 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: I think this is the reality. This is what he 54 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: thinks is what he's going to try and do the 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: next three years. And he's claiming a lot of the 56 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: things that he's done justifiably, and I think to a 57 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: certain extent, it'll be analyzed and over analyzed. 58 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: Now if you're the other world leaders. Uh, and Trump 59 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: is so blunt and he just says what he thinks 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: all that, even if they don't like it, do they 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of appreciate that for once they got a guy 62 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: who straight talks with them and they know what he's thinking. 63 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 2: No, No, haven every work work for a few presidents 64 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: and a lot of political leaders. Uh, there's there's gigantic eagles. 65 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: You know, humble men and women don't basically move forward 66 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: the political process. Uh. But by being humble. Uh, you know, 67 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: you've got to got to believe in yourself, you've got 68 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: to believe in the people around you, and you've got 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: to march forward. Uh. And Trump certainly has never been 70 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: uh been uh calm and understated. Uh. He's someone basically 71 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: said this, wo are doing this, will have done Uh. 72 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: And he's going to march forward. Now if they could 73 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: put that in a coherent speech in which he given 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: repeatedly and he has his cabinet give it completely. Uh, 75 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: you can have a real strategic plan for the next year, 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: which the next year is the critical year for him. Uh. 77 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: You know, ten in ten months, have a mid term election. 78 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: If he loses the Congress, Uh, then the last two 79 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: years are going to be irrelevant. Uh says they're still 80 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: gonna be president. But the day the day after the 81 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: November elections, and certainly if the Democrats taken back, we 82 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: begin to begin to replacement process. Uh. And that's never 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: a good place to be no matter who who you're president. Uh. 84 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: You know, he lose a lot of your power, not 85 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: just to the Congress, which use a lot of your power, 86 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: to the fact that someone else is coming forward, and 87 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: my sense is that if his health health holds up, 88 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: the Trump's Trump's gonna play play a very big role 89 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: in who's his successor. Uh. No guarantees it's gonna be 90 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: a banced No guarantees it's gonna be revealed, No guarantees 91 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: it's gonna be anybody. Uh. His legacy may be picking 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: one of his kids and try and go take the 93 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: political process that he controls today. By looking political processes 94 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: and putting one of his kids in there, certainly bushed 95 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: into that. Now this is done in the past. So 96 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: my sense is this is a speech of the overanalyzed. 97 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: It's it's it's way beyond Marlago or the White House. 98 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: This is the world looking at the speech today, and 99 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: everyone's going to have an analysis, and everyone, every every 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 2: other leader in the world, except for a few hours, 101 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: we have for him. Always I've got to criticize it. 102 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: This is what he meant, that's what he didn't mean. 103 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: This is what the interpretations are. So I think it's 104 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: gonna be. It'll be it'll be a major major document. 105 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: Whether it was a major major speech or not, it 106 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: clearly was his thought process. This is what I think 107 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: I've done. This is why I think I've done it. 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: This is you know, very very upbeat. This economy is 109 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: critical and is going as I planned, and equally is important. 110 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: The country is the most important country in the world. 111 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: And if you don't like that, that's too bad. As 112 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: we are. 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, Now, the President also said that he may 114 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: go to Iowa later this week. Is this important for 115 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: a president like Trump to get him out of the 116 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: White House? Let him go out there and then speak, 117 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: do speeches and do that. Is it important? 118 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: Well, I was a state that he's very comfortable with. 119 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: There's a lot of stake in Iowa this year. I mean, 120 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: it's become Republican state. But we have we have an 121 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: open Senate seat there. We've got a couple of commercial 122 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: seats that So on his run, you know, I would 123 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: not if I was the political directory again in the 124 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 2: White House, I would not run him around the country 125 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: like they talk about doing. I would have ten or twelve, 126 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: you know, one or two a month, big events in 127 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: which he readly gets news. If he goes out in 128 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: campaigns for fifty or hundred comgressional candidates, that's not going 129 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: to do anything. It's distraction. Its first, It wears him down. 130 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: He needs to focus on the American economy. People have 131 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: to say, I don't care about Greenland, I don't care 132 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: about this, I don't care. What I care about is 133 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: my paycheck, my health care, my kids, my schools, my neighborhoods, 134 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: and those are things he needs to focus on, and 135 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: he can do that. He can be very charming when 136 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: he wants to do that. 137 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: Now. I know traditionally the party loses the Congress in 138 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: the midterms. But let's say all the big beautiful bill passes, 139 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: stuff starts happening, paychecks increase, prices start coming down, the 140 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: economy looks great in four or five months, Doesn't that 141 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: mean the Republican's got a good chance of holding Congress? 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: You It certainly certainly gives every unication. With the end, 143 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: there's a lot to make that happen. Again, Wherever it's 144 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: going to happen is going to happen because he's sorry 145 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: put in place. The communication message is what's very important. 146 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 2: And again, if he's running around the world doing things 147 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: everywhere else and not here, the Pantry doesn't care at 148 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: this point game about what happens in Ukraine, does not 149 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: care what happens in Venezuela does not care what happens 150 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: in Cuba. They care about what's happening in Iowa, Nebraska, Texas. 151 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: You know, we're going to fix the energy prices, We're 152 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: going to fix the food prices. But take care of 153 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: our farmers, but take care of healthcare. Those are things. 154 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: He's got a powerful voice if he wants to use 155 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: it for those things. If he use it for those things, 156 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: he gives Republicans watch for the chance to feel like well. 157 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: For Democrats, all these crazy women with the nose rings, 158 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: yelling and screaming at the law enforce. In the end, 159 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: does that really help Democrats? 160 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: No, you know, it may energize them a little bit, 161 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: but there's nothing Democrats can come up with this point 162 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: in time. It's going to be this new magic policy. 163 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: You know, it's going to make every soul. I want that. 164 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: What people want is either want Trump, do you want 165 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: more Trump? Or you want less Trump? And my sense 166 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: the Democrats are smarter to go out and just make it. 167 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: If you want to stop Trump, where the vehicles to 168 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: stop Trump.
