Speaker 1 Sunday morning. President Trump has been president for seven days, but he’s made a lot of progress. What is today is Ed Cox, the New York State GOP chairman, but actually he is a national GOP person because he’s sending what to President Nixon and he’s always been national ed.

What is your evaluation, what’s happened in the last seven days?

Speaker 2 Well, President Trump, right after his inauguration showed that he’s a real winner, and he gets the momentum going in his first term. By the executive actions that he’s taken, the executive orders that he’s given, he’s showing he’s moving on every promise he made to the American people that got him elected, winning all the swing states and winning

the popular vote too, first time that republican’s done that since two thousand and four. So he’s actually like a real winner. The question is who are the real losers here? Everyone’s focusing on Biden. That’s an easy target, considering he was basically incapacitated by his age and also by his policies that just didn’t fit the times or were not realistic,

we’re not common sense. But the real loser here is Obama. President Obama as a real loser. He has been the puppet master behind the scene here. First of all twenty sixteen, getting behind Hillary Clinton as a candidate, knowing full well that she was not a good politician, no matter what her abilities or skills or whatever otherwise their intelligence, she

was just not a good politician. Suppose her husband, who was a superb politician and in the end made mincemeat of her. In the two sixteen campaign. She’s off in Arizona thinking she could win Arizona, while he’s campaigning in her political backyard in the Ross Belt, knowing full well to respect that China and tariffs. His message and immigration,

his message really resonated in those core areas, and that’s why he won querias for Democrats, and that’s why he won. But it was Obama who really backed Hillary Clinton. In his mid fifties, as a former president, he still wanted to be to be the main influencer for will within the Democratic Party bag thing with Biden. Bernie Sanders was

destined to win the nomination. It happens when in a close election like the Hillary Clinton Trump twenty sixteen elections, the party that loses always goes to its base for after the Kennedy Nixon close election in sixty the Republicans went to Goldwater. After the close Nixon Humphrey election sixty eight, the Democrats went to their left to McGovern Bernie Sanders

was a logical candidate. He was lost big to Trump and so Obama really after the huge losses by Biden in the Iowa caucuses and in the New Hampshire primaries, he came in fourth and fifth respectively. In those two people saw him up close and they realized this guy one is not smart. Two he’s probably a slightly senile,

and the Democrat voters rejected him.

Speaker 1 The President Obama was the orchestra leader for all these.

Speaker 2 Half He orchestrated South Carolina, working with Congress At Clyborne to give that winner take all state to Biden in order to prevent to have a more moderate appearing old Grand Joe Biden, the more moderate seeming presidential candidate, to be the nominee of the party. And it worked together with COVID and Obama and Biden taken to his basement.

With the excuse of COVID, he managed to to win the nomination and then to go ahead and win the election on those unusual circumstances, and he turned out to be a terrible, terrible president and all his policies. Well, there’s the old bill.

Speaker 1 Bill O’Reilly keeps saying that he was the second worst president in the history of the United States. Who was How would you have value the first second?

Speaker 2 I think he is the worst president I know who was worse than him? Maybe there’s something historically in the nineteenth century, and people sometimes focus on the one term the other one term president President Carter. But Carterner had his Camp David Accords, he had his and he’s frankly with respect to inflation, he’s the guy who oppointed Bulker

and backed him even though knowing that would hurt his re election chances, and he started he started the deregulation with railroads and airlines, at which Reagan continued. Reagan continues for Volker in order to beat the inflation that was afflicting the nation at the time, and he also continued the regulation. So I would I would put Biden among

let’s say, since World War Two, and you think we only.

Speaker 1 Have a few seconds left, and you think that the President Obama was orchestrating most of President Biden’s term.

Speaker 2 Oh yeah, sure, his basic policy was the respect. I ran absolutely ridiculous to take the sanctions. The natural pressure that President Trump in his first term had put on Iran was the right policy. But simply because the influence of Obama in the background, Biden loosened those sanctions, and the result is that they had the homus attack on Israel

and the war’s going on in the East.

Speaker 1 Crazy crazy, Thank you Chairman GOP, New York, State and national GOP figure will catch.

Speaker 2 Up against so look forward to it. John
