View highlights from the interview below.

ON TOP KAMALA HARRIS SURROGATE MARK CUBAN’S MISOGYNISTIC COMMENTS ABOUT FEMALE TRUMP SUPPORTERS:

“… I’ve said today’s Democrat party, they have a really uncanny way of saying what they actually feel and their disdain for the American people and Trump supporters. You know, Hillary Clinton called us ‘deplorables’ in 2016 they’ve called us ‘Nazis’. Joe Biden called us ‘garbage’. And now you have Mark Cuban saying there’s no strong and intelligent women around President Trump who support him every day. He has strong and intelligent women around him, including his campaign manager, including top members of Congress like myself, major members of his team, his press secretary, his policy advisor. So it is just that the left is saying what they feel. And what is really telling is Kamala Harris’ campaign has not distanced themselves. They have not condemned that remark.”

ON PRESIDENT TRUMP DELIVERING HISTORIC SUCCESSES FOR AMERICAN WOMEN:

“Of course, whether you look at Amy Coney Barrett, or you look at the multiple Cabinet Secretaries, or, as I said, the multiple senior White House staff, his own campaign manager, President Trump, respects all women, and especially works with strong, intelligent women who are proud to support him. But it’s really offensive, not just to the senior-level women who work with him every day. It’s offensive to the tens of millions of women across the country who are voting for President Trump. Gold Star moms, Gold Star wives, veterans. There are so many women who are working to support this campaign who are proudly voting for him.”

ON KAMALA HARRIS AND FAR LEFT DEMOCRATS’ FAILING CAMPAIGN:

“It shows that they are desperate. And here’s why Doug, they have no issues on their side. They’ve made the border wide open. It’s a catastrophe. The economy is in ruins with inflation, crushing families and small businesses. The world is at war, just chaos, the Middle East, the instability Iran on the rise. So, the Democrats cannot run on the issues. And you compare that to President Trump. Four years ago, we had a booming economy. We had peace throughout the world. We had the most secure border in modern times. So the Democrats are so desperate, and Kamala Harris’s campaign is flailing. If you look at the early vote numbers, Republicans are surging, turning out to vote. We’re seeing that in New York State and early vote, but we’re seeing that in these key swing states. So, I am cautiously optimistic. Now. We have four days to go between now and Election Day, and we need to make sure we turn out every single vote. This is going to be, you know, data shows us that this is going to be, a close election. I actually feel this is going to be a political realignment election, but we need to focus like this is a very, very close election, and turn out the vote.”

ON KAMALA HARRIS’ LOSING CAMPAIGN STRATEGY & HYPOCRITICAL SLOGANS:

Yeah, again, they were going to win this on ‘joy’ and ‘vibes’. And remember ‘Brat’ summer, which I don’t even know what that means. The American people are tired of it. They want solutions and results. And I actually think this obsession in the Democrat party with having Hollywood celebrities endorse and come out publicly as the saving grace, I think that’s increasingly off-putting to the American people because it highlights how out of touch today’s Democrat Party and Kamala Harris is with the vast majority of hard-working families who are really struggling in today’s economy right now. So it’s just a losing strategy, and they also don’t have enthusiasm in the Democrat Party. We’re seeing that play out with not as high turnout as Democrats had in previous elections, like 2020.

ON NPR’S PATHETIC ATTEMPTS TO SPREAD MISINFORMATION AGAINST STEFANIK:

This is a long-time disgraced NPR affiliate in my district that has put so much false information out over the years; not only did they incorrectly date what the early vote rules are, because we’ve been working hard as candidates, you can vote at any early vote location, and in Saratoga County, there’s multiple locations. So, I voted like many of my other constituents at the location in Wilton. The entire town of Saratoga, where I live, is in the district. And by the way, the Democrat I’m running against has never lived in the district, voted in the district, doesn’t pay property taxes in the district, but yet this NPR affiliate attacks me falsely, and it in tune, also suppresses other people and creates confusion about where you’re able to vote. No matter where you live in your county, you can vote at any of the early vote locations. There are few vote locations for each county, and you can look up information at your Board of Elections, but it, and they didn’t even apologize or retract it. They said they sent out false and they didn’t. They made a mistake about polling location information, but they also said, I don’t live in the district. I do live in the district. I did vote for myself on that ballot, and they refused to correct it. But this, this affiliate, is disgraced. It is part of the fake news, and people know it.

ON CORRUPT ANDREW CUOMO’S CRIMINAL REFERRAL:

Well, we have worked diligently on this, and while many members of the mainstream media have brushed this under the rug, trying to make this go away, we’ve worked very hard to follow all the facts, to uncover that Andrew Cuomo not only knew about the executive order, he wrote it, he edited it at the highest levels, and then they tried to cover it up. Then he lied to Congress, and we have that explosive hearing with the back and forth with myself and Andrew Cuomo. He deserves this criminal referral. And you know this, the Department of Justice under President Trump will pursue these criminal referrals. This is not something that’s just going to go away. And the saddest part of all of this, Doug, is there are over 15,000 seniors whose lives were lost in those families. They have been waiting for accountability and transparency, and at every term, Cuomo and his goons have smeared them. They have attacked them, and they have covered up and committed felonies by lying to Congress. There have been a number of people that have come forward, including previous Cuomo aides, talking about how Andrew Cuomo has lied throughout this process and tried to blame others and not be held accountable for his failure.

ON REPUBLICANS MAKING HISTORIC INROADS IN NEW YORK STATE:

Yes, and the Dems tried to clean that up desperately and said, Oh, well, we actually think we can put three seats. Listen, Kathy Hochul is the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans. Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries are so upset over Kathy Hochul. Kathy Hochul is the worst polling governor. I never thought I’d see a governor that polls worse than Andrew Cuomo, but Kathy Hochul makes that possible. She’s been an anchor in each of these congressional races. So what are we going to do about the House Republican majority? I have been on the ballot in 2016. I was on the ballot in 2020. President Trump turned out votes more effectively than any other candidate in modern history of either party, and in both cases, in 2016 and 2020 the media prognosticator said we would lose seats. The reality was, Republicans surged and picked up a number of House seats. In both of those election cycles, we are seeing very strong early vote numbers again. I want to encourage all the listeners you can vote early. Get out to your county early vote locations. You have to look that up on your Board of Elections, but we’re in the hard fought races, the good news is every single Republican incumbent is either polling slightly ahead or tied, and this is despite the onslaught of over $100 million dollars that Democrats have poured into attacking five Republican incumbents in New York State. We are going to hold the line. This will determine the House Republican majority. So get out and vote for Mark Molinaro, I know so many of your listeners live in Rensselaer County. That’s going to be a really important area, and we need to turn out and vote early or on election day there for Mark, because his opponent is literally the legal architect for Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris’ open border. And Mark is a proven, strong, results oriented member of Congress who did a great job as Dutchess County Executive, who was one of the first voices challenging Andrew Cuomo, and is fighting to secure the border, strengthen the economy and bring peace through strength foreign policy around the world, in addition to many of the local results he’s delivered. So yes, we’re focused on it. I’m very focused on it. We are. We’ve helped all these campaigns in so many different ways, in terms of early vote, getting out the information, and President Trump endorses all these candidates.

ON THE SMART INTELLIGENT WOMEN SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP:

It’s offensive. It was a vile comment, and again, silence is deafening. Kamala Harris has allowed their top ally to say this, because that’s what they really think. That’s the really sad part about it, is it smearing tens of millions of strong, intelligent women across the country who are voting Trump because they want this country to be fixed.
