1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: He knows his way around all this. It's the Marks

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Among Show on seven tenbr Well, let's talk to the

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: dean himself, Ed Rollins, the greatest of all that political analysts.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: He's run a lot of campaigns, worked in a lot

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: of white houses, and knows this stuff better than anybody.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Ed Rollins, How you doing doing pretty well?

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: Thank you? Confusing times. We're in trouble times. But the

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: good news is we elected a strong candidate yesterday to

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: be the nominated replaced Marjorie Taylor Green. He hit the nomination,

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: he was endorsed by the President a runoff April seventh,

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: that he should win it. Easy.

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, what about the president going to Kentucky, Ohio today,

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: wants to get rid of Massy? What about Massy?

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: You know that. I assume that's going to happen, But

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: he knows. At the end of the day here, there's

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: a lot to play out here. And the reality is

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: that if you remember of Congress today and you're in

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: the forty or fifty that are in trouble seats, uh,

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: your polls aren't going to be very good and you're

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: gonna be very worried. You're gonna go work very hard

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: so yeah, we'll see that. There's a lot on the

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: genuinary now and overwhelming thing is the economy and a

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: lot of discussion in the last twelve days of the

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: war in Iran. But the reality is most Americans could

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: care one way or the other about that. You know,

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: they won't. They want to. They care about their gas prices.

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: And if we see a rise there, which you know,

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: all the size or we will all of those some

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: good news. I guess the group that controls gas prices

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: just basically said they're to the not the gas price

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: of the oil. Yeah, the release out of the security.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, if yeah, you've got a spike during this

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: little conflict, and then let's say a month from now,

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: as a result, prices are down, in fact, they go

35
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: even lower than before. Won't that fix everything for the GOP?

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: It will, it will help. It won't fix everything.

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson's speak of the how Mike Johnson he said yesterday, Uh,

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: the GOP is in a course correction mode. After Christy Nome.

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: After all, that does the GOP that they really need

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: a course correction.

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: They need something And it's not just Christy Dome, it's

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: it's uh, you know, it's not functioning at the end

43
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: of the day. If you're sitting out there in the country,

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: or if you're going to be standing in the line

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks going on Eastern holiday, you

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: have to stand in an airport line three or four hours. Uh,

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be very happy. And you've got blame

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: the party it's in power, whether it's their fault or not.

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of a lot of a lot

50
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: of chaos going on right today. So not being an

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: environment I want to be running. I think the difference

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: now to is people assume that the House would be

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: lost in the in the midterm, but now talking about

54
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: the Senate being lost, and I don't know, I'm not

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: going to concede that at this point in time. But

56
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: it's a very very unhappy place to be a member

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: of Congress today.

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: Okay, but this election is like seven eight months awake,

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: is it really does? I mean, everything's going to change

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: it now it gets set.

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: What happens is it gets set. Uh. And the reality

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: is you've got to do a lot of stuff in

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: the year out for an election, and it's uh, you know,

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: people don't wait to the last three weeks to make

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: up their mind. In this particular case, you've got to

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: have organization, You've got to have a variety of things.

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: So I would say at this point in time, as

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: someone that's run a lot of congressional races, run the

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: Congressional Committee, and run the White House political operation, this

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: is not this is not a good good day for

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: uh especially yes, whatever takes to say. Now, the good

72
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: news is the president still strong in the party and

73
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: he basically has raised a tremendous amount of money and

74
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: it's spent well, and they certainly can make it to

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: make it closer that people think today, Hey.

76
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: When you raise all this money, you're right, the rnc's

77
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: raised a lot more money than the Dancy. When you

78
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: got all this money, what do you do with it?

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: TV commercials aren't the thing anymore? How do you spend it?

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Now? Well, grass roots is a very important and you

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: need to go out and identify your voter and make

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: sure that they're voting because traditionally in the midterm election

83
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: people don't care, and we need to go out and

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: identify our voters and make sure that they turn out

85
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: on election there.

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: So, yeah, speaking of Marjorie Tailor Green you mentioned her.

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: These nutty characters in Congress, aoc elon Omar marjor retailer,

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: these really nutty types. If you went back to the

89
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: Reagan days, you didn't see a bunch of wackos in Congress,

90
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: did you. This is like a new phenomenon, isn't it.

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: It's much much newer phenomenon, and equally is important because

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: they have vehicles now, you know, you've got the Internet

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: and all of various entities that you have that you

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: can be in nuts and get a lot of attention.

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: The most significant people today are not TV commentators or

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: radio commentators. It's these people that have these massive, you know,

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: abilities go communicate to h different different votors. So but

98
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: nut bars that come forth and have and find other

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 2: nut bars to stuff.

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: So, hey, this crazy mayor in New York now he's

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: talking about in the crazy left wing city Council. They're

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: talking about raising the minimum wage to thirty dollars that's

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: almost double. Wouldn't that cause a lot of people to

104
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: get fired? Companies will go with less people.

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: And absolutely it would. It would put a tremendous burden

106
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: on the restaurants and hotels and people that need services

107
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: in my sense, if you raise it at thirty dollars,

108
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: you're going to basically paint the city on.

109
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do that stuff, you know when they do

110
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: that stuff in San Francisco, that kind of stuff, companies

111
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: just close up and leave, all the chains leave, and

112
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: you got empty stores everywhere.

113
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: But you got empty stores everywhere. And you know New

114
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: York occausey is the international capital, the world financial capital.

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: But it would not be a good good thing for

116
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: him to do. It wouldn't be good for the city.

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be good for those of us who live

118
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: in the city.

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: So, yeah, but could you explain this democratic mentality to us?

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: They do it a thousand times, it fails a thousand times,

121
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: and they keep proposing it again. Don't they ever learn

122
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: their lessons?

123
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: It's what it's what they fundamentally believe that we are

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: so polarized as as two philosophies Republicans and Democrats. Uh.

125
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: You know, we believe in lower taxes. We believe in

126
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: more effective business is being run and smaller. Uh. And

127
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: and businesses should be great jobs and not governments. Democrats

128
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: obviously are the opposite point of view. It's just they

129
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: don't they don't slow down the spending. They basically there's

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: you know, revenue shortfalls everywhere, but no one is cut

131
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: No one is recommending cutting money from the states or cities.

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: They want to spend more and in the in the

133
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: in the day. It doesn't work.

134
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, ed, great, great, great.

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: Stuff has never worked anywhere.

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: So all right, well, thanks thanks for talking with us.
