Hour 2: Curtis Sliwa's last-minute strategy to become mayor. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Mister New York marximone, you're the Bestor we'll get to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the mayoral race in just a second, and we'll get
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to the World Series and Curtis will be with us.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Curtis Lee, well, we'll join us a little later this hour.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: We'll see what he's feeling like. On the final day.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: It is the final day before the election. There's no
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: early voting today. Yesterday was the last day. Yeah, yesterday
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: was the last day. Seven hundred and thirty five thousand
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: early votes. That's like six times normal. That is through
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the roof. It's huge. It's expected that we'll get over
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: two million voters in this election after election day tomorrow.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Normally we could end up with three four hundred thousand
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: five So this is big, very very very big. Turnout
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: is huge. Cuomo is doing better than before he has searched,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: but Curtis is also surging. We've seen that, so they're
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: both surching. Cuomo, will you still got to blame him
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: for this mess. There was a Democratic primary. Mom Donnie
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: was at zero a you know, a weird extremist candidate
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that remember, there was a whole bunch of people in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: that Democratic primary. Cuomo scared Eric Adams out of it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: So Eric Adams didn't enter that Democratic primary, and who
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: knows he might have won. Cuomo scared him out of it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Remember Cuomo before the primary began, scared to a lot
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: of people with his big name recognition and his billions
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and billionaire donors, and everybody's afraid to go up here.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So Cuomo enters the Democratic primary and is a disaster,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a disaster, hardly campaign no rallies, no anything, no campaigning.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: In the debates, he was a complete disaster. He got
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: wiped out by Mam Donni in the first debate, second debate,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: got beaten up even more. It was a disaster. So
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: he lost the primary. And he was so bad in
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: those debates, and Mam Donni just used him as a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: punching bag and it really helped Mam Donnie take off.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: He ended up slaughtering Cuomo in the final vote. Had
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with rank choice voting, just slaughtered him
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in that final vote. So that's how we end up
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: with Mom Donnie. Then Cuomo goes on to some third
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: party ballot and tries to tries to come back, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: he's done well, he's done better, He's been a much
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: better campaigner. He was rotten in the first debate, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in that last general election mayoral debate, he was pretty good.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Curtis won the debate easily on issues on content, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Cuomo suddenly had energy, suddenly had a little fire. A
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: lot of people think they injected him with one of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: those Joe Biden wake up drugs, wake up injections. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and they've all been campaigning like crazy. Cuomo still hasn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: opened a campaign office, but okay, but he's been out there.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: He's been out there campaigning all weekend.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Three buses, Yeah, that sounds great. He doesn't run the buses.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: The state runs the buses. And the state said that
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: that's not going to happen. Universal childcare because the state's
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: going to tax all the corporations, but all the money
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: goes to New York City. That's never going to happen.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: None of it will happen. It's just this socialist talk.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Everything free, everything free.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I promise we all know this already. Obviously
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: already knows this.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I believe President Trump is from New York. I think
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: he cares about New York. He has friends in New York,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: he has a lot of connections in New York, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I think he would be open to a cooperative path
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: that is doing good things in New York in cooperation
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: with the federal government.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I think you would like to see New York better.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I believe that. Yeah. Now, behind the scenes, President Trump
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: has been working day and night to get Curtis out
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of the race. It's a little late for that. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: don't agree with him on that, but that's what he's
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: been trying to do. He's been trying to help Cuomo.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He thinks Cuomo is the only one that can win.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of people that think that. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he's been working like crazy to get to sleep. It's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. Curtis is not a quitter, never
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: has been, never will be. Here's more of Cuomo.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: President Trump said, Curtis Lewa is not ready for prime time,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and he's not ready for prime time. He's led this
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: group called the Guardian Angels for years, but he has
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: no managerial experience, no government experience, and he's basically defrauded
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers in the past. So he's not ready for
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: prime time and he is a spoiler in the race.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: The only thing he can do is make Mam Donnie
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a winner, because any vote for Curtis is a vote
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: for Mandani.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you've got to put a lot of asterisk
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on it. He never defrauded New York. I think he's
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: referring to something he did a publicity stunt once turned
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: out out to be true. But you talked about defrauding
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: New York. I think Cuomo did have to leave office
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in disgrace. He was under investigation by the Ethics Committee
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: as well for that sleazy book deal. And and a spoiler.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You can't be a spoiler if you're a major party candidate. Remember,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Curtis is the Republican nominee, Mam, Donnie is the Democratic nominee.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It was Cuomo who could not get a major party
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you win. He lost the primary. Democrats rejected him in
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the primary. So let's see. Here's more a Cuomo.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: He thinks Mandami, who he goes a communist, would be
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: horrendous for New York.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: By the way, I agree.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: And this is the far left of the Democratic Party,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the socialist wing of the Democratic Party's trying.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: To take over New York City kind of the problem.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He over explains everything to you. Cuomo talks to you
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like you're the one that's stupid. And he talks too slow,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and he over explains, and now Curtis is still telling
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: him to drop out. You can't. I'll ask him, He'll
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Kurs will be with a few minutes. He couldn't drop
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: out if he wanted to. You can't drop out. You
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: can't get your name off the ballot. You can't. We'll
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: ask him when he's here. But he's I've known Curtis
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: for a million years. This guy never quit anything in
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: his life.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: They're all trying to get me out of this race.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I guess what.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: I'm in it to win it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I'm the only Republican, the law and order candidate. I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Rudy Giuliani two point zero.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Whoa.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: He can say that because Rudy Giuliani is endorsing him
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and is said one thousand percent behind him.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Jorhan Mandami haho.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: He's very affable.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: It's like that song remember Shad Day nineteen eighty four,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Smooth Operator.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I always think of Barack Obama the Prince of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: smooth Operator.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: And on the jvh Madami amen ah. When he lies, Yeah,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: noos doesn't get bigger.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: He smile gets larger.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta admit, Curtis is the best on the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: campaign trail. And he's right. Mamdani is an Obama. Obama
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: was the same kind of thing. Not a communist, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Obama was a guy with no resume, never had a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: real job in his life, community organized or whatever the
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: hell that was. But never had a real job, just
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a very brief career in the legislature and all of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a sudden running for the biggest management management job in
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the world. But he did it with a smile and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: style and being very articulate and smooth talking. He's the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: socialist Obama.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: If you're on the thirty in Europe, female.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Ah, now, this is him on Cuomo Curtis.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: If you're on the thirty in eure A female, he's flirty.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: If you're over sixty five, he could end up killing
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: you in a long term nursing home.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Jacobs home, man, you're.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Only safe if you're between dirty and sixty five.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: A multiply handy andy, handsy.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Andy, Yeah, pretty good, pretty good. Let me see if
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: there's any more here. Now, we'll ask Curtis. He'll be
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: here later this hour. These billionaires are all calling him
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: trying to get him out of the race. They're all
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: trying to bribe, and they're offering money, jobs, they're all anything.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: They're trying to bribe. My listen to Curtis.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I'm told him what you're doing is that that the
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: it's bribery and it might be illegal. And the next
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: time you talk to me, I'll be winded up like
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: a Christmas Street.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: More forma. Let me see.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I will build affordable hundreds of thousands of units of
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: affordable housing. I did it as HUT secretary all across
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: the nation. And that's how you're going to get the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: rent down by increasing the supply. I will hire five
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: thousand police officers and make New York City safer, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: put fifteen hundred on the subways and make the subways safer.
• 8:35

  Speaker 2: that city council because believe it or not. City council
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: actually has more power to do things in New York
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: than the mayor does. Curtis not getting out of the race.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Stop with that. As we mentioned before, the mob tried
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to stop him. They sent like four guys with baseball
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: bats who beat him to a pulp. That didn't stop him.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: He kept attacking. They got him in the back of
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a cab, shot him five times. From his hospital, Betty
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: kept attacking him. That was quite an instant. In fact,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: we all used to work at the other place back then,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Rush Shawn me, everybody. Curtis got shot five times. It
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: was just like in The Godfather, Remember where Salatso says
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: five bullets, the guy's still alive. Well, that was Curtis.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: The next day Rush bought Curtis and Suv said, don't
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: get in any more cabs, use this car. I remember
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I used to It was remembers Curtis and Kobe. They
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: were the number one morning show for you, and of
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: course big, big, big, big morning show for twenty years.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: But I used to fill in a lot, and I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: remember it. Right after he was shot, it'd be me
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and Curtis in the studio with twelve detectives. Right after
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the shooting, surrounded by detectives around the clock, because apparently
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the mob was still out to get them. If that
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: didn't get them to stop. I don't think a few
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: billionaires with their bribes is going to do any good.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Marathon yesterday, New York Marathon. This is called the Kenya Marathon.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Nobody in New York's going to win this marathon. Nobody
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: in New York's going to even come close. Now today,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: walking to work, all over the street are these people
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: with the medals on. The marathon medals. Apparently they're all
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: staying in this neighborhood around the station, all the hotels,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: this is where they are, and they walk around with
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the medals on. You know, it's like these people that
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: won't take the ski lift tickets off the jacket. They've
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: got all the ski lift tags there, so you're supposed
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to see that. They're excued, so you're supposed to see them.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: One year, somebody came to work with the marathon medal.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody was so crist so I went on eBay. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: bought like six marathon medals from previous years. I just
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: put them all on and came in with that on.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Although I got to admit I saw these medals on
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: people today. It's the best looking marathon medal I've ever seen.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, just this jewelry. It's beautiful. Hey, Barack Obama
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: was in New Jersey campaigning for Mikey Cheryl and he
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: started going after Trump and he started attacking the ballroom
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that Trump is building on the East Wing. You've seen
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the pictures of the drawings. The ballroom is going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: be magnificent, one of the most beautiful ballrooms ever built. It's
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely spectacular, and there was Obama attacking it. A lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of people thought that was really crazy, since he is
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: currently building what is considered to be the single ugliest
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: building ever built in America. Go take a look at
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: my Twitter if you want to see it. It's up.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Pictures are up there on Twitter. It's the it's his
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: presidential library. It is the most hideous, ugly building everybody's
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: ever seen. People think that the pictures are a joke.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: This is actually his presidential library. It's a big, ugly, enormous,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: like five story slab of concrete. It looks like a
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: big tombstone. It says gray, ugly cement. It's the ugliest
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: building you've ever seen. And he probably should be investigated
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and arrested for what he's doing because they raised eight
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million and they've spent it and now
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: it's they're having overruns. If you look at this building,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: if I told you this building costs a million dollars,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you'd think I was insane. He's supposedly spent eight hundred
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and fifty million on this hideous, ridiculous looking building that's
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: disgusting looking, and he has the nerve to criticize the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: ballroom unbelievable. So uh oh, World Series. That was quite
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a game. Actually, I don't really care about Dodgers. Well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I guess I like the Dodgers. I don't really care
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: about but the Toronto Blue Jays, although they seem to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: have more American players on the Blue Jays than on
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. But it was quite an ending, quite a
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: final game. Here's the final call double play end of
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Eddio two swinging a broken bat roller out to short
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: that's up with it steps out second on the first
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: and it's a double play and the Dodgers have won it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Here in eleven.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: The Dodgers turned the double play and finish off the
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Jays five for the final. The Dodgers repeat champions for
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: the first time in baseball in twenty five years.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: No, of course it's Los Angeles. The Dodgers won, so
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: naturally in Los Angeles, everybody's out in the street rioting
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: cops that a used tear gas. Tea will totally I
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: control fires, looting every that's Los Angeles. Hey, Curtis will
• 15:55

• 16:42
  Speaker 7: causing all these Marxists and is allow us to come

  Speaker 8: a Trump hairspray?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, actually, if you want stuff, there is
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a Trump's store. If you're in Manhattan, go to Trump Tower.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Trump Tower. Take the escalator. That's the one he came
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: down on when he announced the campaign. Take the escalator.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Downstairs the basement. There's a beautiful Trump's store. It's a
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: great place for Christmas shopping. They have everything Trump in there.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously they got the hats, the shirts, but
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: everything toat bags, ashtrays, glasses, anything with Trump on it.

• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mary, Good morning Joe.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I care about the Dodgers in fact, and I run
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: like first illegal gambling bet when Sandy Kolfax was the
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: picture for the Dodgers back back in the day. Seriously,
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I won my first bet. Marck Carol Markowitz was on
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Buck and Clay Show the other Day, and she referred
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: to these thirty percent of the so called Ashkenazi Jews
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: that have voted for Mandami. She called them the bagels
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: and cream cheese in the New York Times Jews. They
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: think they're Jews just because they do all of that. Mark.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Yesterday, over the weekend, that creep, that big wind bag. J. D.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Pritsko of Chicago was addressing the teachers union out there.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: First off, he usually when referring to Trump, he used
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: a lot of curses which were so classless like himself.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: But uh, this is a good idea. Why don't all
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: these big blue cities New York, La, Boston, Atlanta, the
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: big cities in Jersey, why don't they pony up the
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: money for the e BT cards, for the snap benefits,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: because after all, Day took the money out of the
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: city's call.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Fiz, well, some of them are doing that. The Governor's
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: trying to do that right now. But Vincent, great call.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Curtis Sliwa, we'll talk to him next.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: We'll get all the latest on the race from Curtis.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to him next on seven to ten. WR
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: get hiss in.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Access to Mark by setting a pre set in the
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast. Now
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: back to the Mark Zimone Show on wr.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: IM thinking about how to introduce Curtis, Well, what am
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I thinking? You don't have to introduce him. Everybody knows him.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Everybody loves Curtis Leeway. He's the Republican candidate for mayor.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Make sure you get out there and vote tomorrow. And
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: he's with us right now. Curtis sliwa, how you doing Now?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great. I'm in Brooklyn, Cris crossing the five boroughs,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: heading the Staten Island. And I got to tell you
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of energy out there, Mark, a lot
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: of love. And as you said, everybody loves Curtis. Now,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: I just got to get them to vote for me.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can vote for him tomorrow. And there's
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: no voting today but tomorrow. Hey, I got to ask
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you this is a very important question. Did you watch
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live? Did you see the sketch they did?
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Yes? I did. I didn't watch it live, obviously, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: watched it in the wee hours in the morning. As
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: you know, Mark, having been my colleague for years, I
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: love satire, I love parodies, and that's exactly what Saturday
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Night Live is, take it or leave it. It has
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: no impact on the campaign.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Well, actually brought up the fact that your your former life,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: your bravery, courage standing up to the mob. No matter
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: what they did you, you didn't back down. They portrayed
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Cuomo as a kind of a sleazy politician, They did
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Demandami as a guy who can't deliver anything. So take
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: it as a compliment. It was pretty good for you.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: That's true. It pretty much came across that if you
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: were a young woman, if you under thirty, Cuomo would
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: be flirty with you. I got a good belly laugh
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: out of that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now let me ask you again. The mob they
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: tried to kill you numerous times. They did everything. You
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: didn't back down. So why would a billionaire think you're
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: going to back down if he tries to bribe you
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: out of the race.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Well, because Mark, as some have said to me, come on, Curtis,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: everybody has a price. The final offer was ten million,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: drop out of the race. Ten million. You'll be a hero,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: I said hero. I said, I'm the only Republican candidate.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: I'm a mainstream Kennedy. You want me to throw my
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: support to a loser, a guy who when he started
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: a March of twenty twenty five, was forty points ahead
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: of Johan Mandami in the Democratic primary. And you remember, Mark,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: nobody knew Johan Mondami, only his neighbors and a story
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: in knew it. I said, because of angew almost failure
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: to campaign, it elevated this guy, this socialist, This guy
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: wants to destroy New York to international status. So now
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: you're gonna leave it to Angrew CMO again. Well, look,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: failure follows failure.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, but let me ask you a question. These
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: people that say get out of the race, You could
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: not get out of the race if you wanted to
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: could How would you get out? You can't take your
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: name off the ballot?
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: No, And it's interesting, Mark, do you still have people
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: to say, oh, you could drop out today? Are you nuts?
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Are you people out there who babble this out of
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: fear of Fright and his steria of Jorhamandami? Do you
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: not understand it's one person, one vote. Billionaires, influences, insiders
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: are not gonna pick the next mayor. The people are.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: And you're You're totally right, Mark, I am the Republican Kennedy.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: There are only two major parties. Johan won his primary
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: fair and square and kicked Angel Adams, but there's no
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: doubt about it. Beat him by thirteen points convincingly. And
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I nobody challenged me in a Republican primary. The time
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: to challenge me was then, So guess what I'm in
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: it to win? It got a lot of support out there,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: have been rallying people throughout the five boroughs. And you
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: know me, mark twenty hours of a twenty four hour day,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I'm campaigning. I just came from Coney Island Stillwell Avenue
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: where I laid read at the site where remember Dabrina
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Kwam was set on fire like a human torch December
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: twenty second of twenty twenty four by that illegal alia.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: And what was that the result of Democrats? What was
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: that the result of Eric Adams, swaggerman with no plan
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: who should have been in jail for corruption and Andrew
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Cuomo no cash, bail, Cuomo raised eh Cuomo turned criminals
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: loose from Rights Island. Cuomo. And you think Democrats are
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: going to restore law enforcement to where it needs to
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: be like in the days of Rudy Giuliani. No, I
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: am Rudy Giuliani two point zero. Marcus, you know he's
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: endorsed me. George Battaki has endorsed me. Ninety three. Rudy
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: saved the city. The next year, PATTACKI beat the better
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Cuomo Mario Cuomo. We had no corruption, We had a
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: reduction in crime and no chaos. Then the Democrats came
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: back with a vengine. We had Dablagio. Then you had
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Cuomo as governor who fled fearing impeachment, and Eric Adams
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: who should be in jail. More chaos, more corruption, more crime.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: It's obvious we go the Republican route. Elect me mayor.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Next year, we elect congresswoman at least Stefani to be
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: the governor. We pooed out Cathy Hokl and we get
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: this state and city back on track.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Now, when he says Rudy Giuliani two point out, let
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: me point out. Rudy Giuliani said he's Rudy Giuliani two
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: point out. So Rudy himself said that, you know, Mamdani
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: only became a citizen like a couple months ago. I
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: mean he just recently became a US citizen, moved here.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Cuomo has lived his entire adult life in the suburbs.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: You're an expert historian. If we ever had somebody run
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: for mayor who didn't live in New York City in
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: their adult life.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: No, no, that was almost a prerequisite that you had
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: that credibility. But again times have changed, and Mark simone.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: One thing I can tell all of your listeners, Boy,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: have you been consistent?
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Mark.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: You warned everybody in twenty twenty one that if they
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: elected Eric Adams against me there would be chaos and corruption.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: You were spot on. You've been with me every step
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: of the way. And I just want to thank you
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: at WORR because you've been a strong supporter. They've given
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: me equal opportunity to speak on issues. The place that
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: I left for ever, Mark, I burned old bridges WABC
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: oo fo.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Well you're not burning that bridge. We all love that place.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: We were all there for years. That'll work out.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you Mark, not me. Damage has been done.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: That's where this whole movement to drop out sleeve was started.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: It should have never started in the family. It did.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: So Now, Hey, Mark, I get to listen to WOR
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: all the time, isn't that great?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, yeah, hey, doors always open here but we
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: will hope you'll be mayor, but that that would be
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: even better for New York.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll tell you this. How about this ask
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: the mayor Friday's mid mornings. We get an hour a
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: courtis Lee at some point in the day, and you
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: get to be the inquisitor of March Simone because nobody's
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: been on radio longer, nobody has the credibility of the
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: pedigree you do. Nobody knows more about radio than March Simone.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks, well, curtisly what would be a great mayor
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: of New York? Now? What do you do tonight and tomorrow?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously no campaign tomorrow, or do you still do it?
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: No? No, I go with my wife. She'll be voting
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: on a independent line she created for me. Protect animals,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: no killed shelters, and we put animal abuses in jail.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: And then I run around to all the poling sites
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: shaking the hands of the Board of Election employees. What
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: had been having to work hard with early voting, And
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: tomorrow we may have a w record setting vote that
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: hasn't been equal since John Lindsay in nineteen sixty nine.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: The miracle met half a million strong up to Woodstock
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: and the first man walking on the moon. It's all
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: come full circle. Mark so one.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact that the turnout is like five six
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: times normal, we'll probably hit over two million votes, which
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: is unheard of. What does that mean? Who are these
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: extra people turning out?
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Don't know?
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Mark? I know my people were turning out because we
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: micro targeted them months in advance. And as you know,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: that's what politics is now. That's how Trump got elected
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: overwhelmingly won the popular vote the seven battleground states. The
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: RNC was out there months and months ahead of time.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Door knocking, lid dropping, emails, snail mails, texting, and phone
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: calls relentlessly. But the most important thing micro targeting, knowing
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: where you've voters are. We've been at this more than
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: three months. We know that's how Zoron won the primary.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, Mark Simoan into Cuomo again, just
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: like in the primary, dot a get out the vote
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: effort very late into this campaign. This has to be
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: done months and months ahead. And look, he's been a
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: dollar short, although he's had millions and millions and millions
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: from the billionaires, but a dollar short when it's kind
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: to get that vote out. And he's been a day
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: laid and today he said he's pirally gonna do retail campaigning.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: He's gonna come out of those closed meetings where you
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: get vetted, where you you're given a banned on your
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: wrisk to prove that you're a Cuomo supporter. He's afraid
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: he has an aversion to deal with people. I treat
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the public like a mosh pit. I'm in the subways
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: every day with friends and foes and a lot of
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: people asking questions. That's how you win elections. And I
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: will be campaigning right through the overnight, going from subways
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: to streets, the diners and trying to get those last
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: votes before electioneering stops. And then we just wait for
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: the tabulation on November fourth tonight.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: That's tomorrow night. And so nine o'clock tomorrow night the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: polls close. Where will you be tomorrow night.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: I'll probably still be fielding calls from Govans out there,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Mark Stamon telling me to drop out, suck some, be
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: your some, well go home. So still not We'll be saying, hey, Sleward,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: did you consider a unity taken? Did you consider dropping out?
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know. They've lost their minds mart, so they've
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: gone crazy?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: How much money. Would you say you've turned down twenty million,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: thirty million altogether?
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Now now the seventh off for was ten million dollars.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: And then I warned them that from now on I
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: will be wired up like a Christmas tree, so anything
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: they offer to me will be heard by investigators. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden the calls stop. And then what
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: they threatened my wife Nancy, They threatened me I now
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: have to travel with armed security. You know, Mark, you
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: were in the studios at WABC after I got shot.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: I never had armed security, and the mob was still
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: after me. But this election cycle, the hate, the rhetoric,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: the absolute insanity on the minds of some people have
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: caused me to have to protect the best thing that
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: ever happened to me, my wife Nancy, who's been with
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: me side by side in this campaign. Can't say that
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: about Zamandami. We never see his wife, and hey, you
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: know with Andrew, he's a little too handy. I don't
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: think many women want to be around him.
