1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,040 Speaker 1: It's more Mark Simone on seven ten w u R. 2 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk to Ladan himself. Ed Rollins, the best 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: political analyst out there. Nobody's run more campaigns, worked in 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: more white houses, and great to add him with us, 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 2: Ed Rollins, how you doing good? 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: Wanting? Mark? Are you here? 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: I'm good? So hey. Bruce Blakeman will be nominated tomorrow 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: as the Republican candidate for governor. Big endorsement today from 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: the New York Post. But how easy? How tough is 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: it for a Republican to win the governor's race in 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 2: New York? 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: Now, well, it's tough. But Bruce is a great candidate, 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: and in my senses, he comes from the right area 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: of the state. He's got a great record, He's as 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: stronger candidate as we could have in New York. We 16 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: have I think we're a very weak mayor. I mean 17 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: we're not mayor big governor. Yeah, So, I you know, 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't think at this point in time you can 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: see to the past history, what's going to happen here? 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: So can he can he raise the money? Can he 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: campaign effect les? So I think that put race is 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: still to watch very closely. 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: Now you've been in this game a while. How did 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: we get to this world where you could have the 25 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: worst record in the world, you absolutely stink like Gavin 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: Newsom or whoever, and you can run again. How does 27 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: this happen nowadays? 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: Well, there's so much clutter in the media today that 29 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to people make so many impressions that are 30 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: out there. It's like the president of president's got so 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: much going on, but it's hard to focus on two 32 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: or three things. And in a campaign like this, you 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: need a campaign on a few things. You've got to say, 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: here's what she's done that basically have affected your life badly, 35 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: and keep hammering on that issue, don't talk about thirty 36 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: five issues. And the same way the Democrats. Democrats keep 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: talking about we've got to have all these policy papers 38 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: and what have you. At at the end of the day, 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: policy papers are not going to be any for them. What's 40 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: going to do something that is they're going to make 41 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: their case against against the president of the president's party. 42 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 43 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: And as far as the president, too much, too much clutter, 44 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: too much media. 45 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the economy, if you look at the actual numbers, 46 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: the math, the economy is doing well. It's headed in 47 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: the right direction. Everything's good. But what does the president 48 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: need to do to get better messaging about that? 49 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: Well, he needs he needs to basically focus himself on 50 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: the message. You know, he sees the one driving the message. 51 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: And all the foreign policy stuff that he's doing certainly 52 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: may be important, but it's not important to the voters 53 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: out there that are basically worrying about healthcare and worrying 54 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: about food prices and housing prices, what have you. So 55 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: I would argue that now that we're in the in 56 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: the actual election year, the president needs to spend his 57 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: time and energy on these issues at matative voters. He's 58 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: got strong polsters, get the posters, give them three or 59 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: four things he should be talking about, and talk about 60 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: those things. You know. I think the key thing here is, 61 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a lot of crisises in the world, 62 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: and the president wants to solve those crisises, and it's 63 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: done a pretty effective job and all that, but most 64 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: people out there aren't worried about and as much as 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: they're worried about, you know, what's happening in Westchester County 66 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: or Suffolk County or across the country. 67 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting what you said about clutter. But as 68 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: President Trump doing a great job, but he's the king 69 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: of clutter. If you watch a press conference of speech 70 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: and there's four thousand things he's working on at once. 71 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: So and you can't cure him with that, can you. 72 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: That's always the way you. 73 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: Can't cure him that. One of the concerns I have 74 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: is having another White House political director and have one 75 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: Congressional committee. The intent now is to put him out 76 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: and have him campaign and try and drive out the 77 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: vote to only votes when he's on the pallet. I 78 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: would just argue, the more you move around the country, 79 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: the less likely he can stay on message. And you know, 80 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: he needs to stay in the White House. He needs 81 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: to go out maybe ten or twenty times. He told 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: him in the campaign, but if they have him out 83 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: there three or four days a week, you know he 84 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: likes the campaign, but at the end of the day, 85 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: you've got priority messages going out. Needs to stay in 86 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: that White House, hit hit the big message places, uh, 87 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: and and be very consistent and quit in selfing people. 88 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: You know, he needs to quit making cracks about his opponents. 89 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Uh uh. You know, Joe Biden's gone. But we'll die 90 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: on the beach Uh. You know what, at the end 91 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: of the day, we you can't blame everything on him 92 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: at this point in time, because nobody's gonna listen. This 93 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: is Trump's administration. His biggest problem. Has got a very 94 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: narrow majority of the House. Uh, and it does that 95 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: the Senate doesn't have anything. So yeah, you know, to 96 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: two seats to you know, this week, he's got a 97 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: two seat margin. He's got to get every member there 98 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: voting for him on these issues. And we now have 99 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: a big ice debate on on funding and that's very important. Uh. 100 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: You know, you drive this Congress through, uh through a 101 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: budget fight for another two or three weeks. Here again, 102 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: people are distracted, People want want order. 103 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: But you know, there's this whole anti ice feeling of Democrats. 104 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: But you know, November is a long way away. Democrats 105 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 2: always overplay their hand. They always go too far. Don't 106 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: you think they'll do that this time? By by election time? 107 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. You know, we don't have 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: we don't have a full year. You know, the reality 109 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: is three or four months from now, these campaigns got 110 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: to be running a hundred hundred degrees forward and the 111 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: Congress is not gonna want to go back here, You've 112 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: got forty four members Congress that are Democrats have targeted 113 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: forty four. Those forty four guys and gals are going 114 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: to have to be home worrying about what their constituous 115 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: are saying. And if you're dragged here to fight these 116 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: stupid battles, we're not going to win. Uh. You know, 117 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, people will get frustrated. 118 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying is my argument is we 119 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: don't we don't have a year. Time flies very quickly. 120 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Here's going to be big, expensive races, and you got 121 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: to you gotta be focusing on everything that rights to 122 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: district right now. 123 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, look at some of these congress people now, from 124 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: King Jeffries to elon Omar to AOC to Jasmine Crocker. 125 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: These are some real low IQ people. Did you ever 126 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: see that before where we had those type of people coming. 127 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: Well, no, but they're in pretty safe districts though, so 128 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: they can they can do and say what they want. 129 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: You know, the key thing here is we don't have 130 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: there'd be a lot of seats. They'll talk about being competitive, 131 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: It won't be competitive. It's really twenty five seats total 132 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: that they're going to be competitive on both sides. They'll argue, 133 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: forty four Democrats that could be defeated, thirty five Republicans 134 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: going to be defeated. In the reality where we switch 135 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: those numbers realities, you know, this comes down to ten 136 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: to fifteen seats, and you've got to make all your 137 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: efforts there. 138 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, voter, I d Democrats opposing that blocking that. 139 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: That looks pretty bad on their part, doesn't it. 140 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: It does, But you know there's so much ecusion on 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: voting him. The key thing is get your voter out, 142 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: whatever it takes to get him out, and don't argue 143 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: about the method of voting, argue about who's going to vote. 144 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: And the president can do that, but again, I would 145 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: just argue everything in the cabinet, every the vice president 146 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: need to be out there saying the same thing. The 147 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: economy is the economy. It's the economy, and that's that's 148 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: what the public wants to hear. 149 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, in New York City, Mom, Donnie probably the 150 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: worst person we could have for mayor, But he seems 151 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: very busy with photo ops and press conferences and the 152 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: public stuff and not really doing any work. That's a 153 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: good thing, but you think we'll get through these four 154 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: years of mom Donnie. 155 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Well, they get through it one way or the other. 156 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: It's what kind of shape If his policy is getting implemented, 157 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: we'll have a very bad state of the pairs in 158 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: New York in four years. But so far, I think 159 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: he's more of a personality than he is effective mayor 160 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: and the people that he's put in a to Blasio, 161 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: people who are not very effective. I think a certain 162 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: extent and a very dangerous And you've got to make 163 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: this sedacious financial capital, communications capital. You've got to make 164 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: the city run and run ef tectically.
