Hank Sheinkopf | President at Sheinkopf Ltd. & Veteran Consultant on Petition Attempting to Bar Mamdani from Ground Zero · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Giovanni Galante, and he's the man that started this petition.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm on board one hundred percent to keep the mayor
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: away from the nine to eleven Commemoration Memorial service coming
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: up this year. Twenty five years. This is the one
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt, but she deserves it. It's been twenty
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: five years. If you had a chance to talk to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Grace today, what would you tell her?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I would I would say you got me on that one.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Uh sorry, tough, Yeah, it's okay, okay. She's missed. She
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: definitely missed her parents, her sister, her brother, my family.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: We all miss her. We all wish we could she
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: would be the person to be the first call to us.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: We miss that, We miss her being around. The attention
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that she gives to everyone, it's something you can't put
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in words. You can't when you meet people that especially,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: you know, there's not much that you can really emphasize.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: It's it's just a matter you have to know her
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to just understand. And people that did they all say
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: great things. So today there's not one soul that says
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: something bad.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Giovanni started the petition to keep the mayor, the scumbag
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: mayor away from that sacred ground where the Freedom Tower
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is now. And when he came on my program, he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: had fourteen thousand signatures. A couple of days later he
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: had over ninety thousand. That's the power of sitting friends
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the morning. And I talked to him quite a bit.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: He texted me and thanks me all the time. Now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: there was a young lady who was on yesterday. We're
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: going to replay that conversation coming up at eight point thirty.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Her name is Elizabeth Miller. Her father hero by a fighter,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Doug Miller. He died that day too. Yet yet she's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: okay with the mayor coming. You don't want to miss
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this conversation. If you missed it yesterday, we're gonna replay
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it at eight thirty. And it's shocking because she's in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a very small minority. Most of the nine to eleven
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: families and most New Yorkers don't want this creep anywhere
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: near there. Now we know he's gonna be there, don't
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: even we get it. He's gonna be there. He's the mayor.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We get it. But if I keep playing this every day,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he's a very thin skinned guy. Look at today's cover
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of Today's New York Post. Mayor is soa flake, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he hates my guts. He hates Scott Lobato, and he
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: hates Sid Rosenberg hates us. He hears every word I say.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll seep in. Maybe, so I'll keep trying. Hank Shankoff, Hank,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Thank you? Sid doing well? Thank you very much?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Oh God, bless, it's good to hear that. So I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: know he's gonna show up. I get it, I get it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But he hears everything. He is very thin skinned. The
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: New York Post, that's the cover today. You think at
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: some point he even considers not showing up when the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of nine to eleven families don't want him.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: There was a very important question, and will the mayor
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: not show up?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: He will show up. There's a photo that's been circulating
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: of him and Governor Hokele at ground zero where they're
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: laughing and they're smiling, and anybody who lives through that
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: day and recalls it, well, well, wonder how anyone could
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: smile or ever laugh again when you go to grounds.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so glad you brought that photo up,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: because I know what photo you talking about. It was
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, and it wasn't just hokel
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: am'm donnie, correct me if I'm wrong. I think Julie
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Menin was also in the photo, and maybe there were
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: five people. There are five people if I'm correct, right, Hank, I.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Think something like that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I don't remember the Julie Menin, but I certainly remember an.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I certainly remember hochel Uh and.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: The mom and smiling like the tour sees more on tourists,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they don't know any better. They think it's Disney. Well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: three thousand people died there. Why would the mayor smile?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: It's it should shock the conscience that the mayor of
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the City of New York, a mayor of the City
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: of York, would smile at a location where people who
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: had no reason to die that day died simply because
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: they were Americans and they had gone to work and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: they decided, and they'd.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Lived their lives as any other American would.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: And two hundred and.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: How many firefighters close to three.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Hundred died quart authority, police officers, New York City police officers,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: court officer. I think anybody of any sacred service agent,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: FBI people, and just average civilians went to work that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: morning and did not go home.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Judge one of our Yeah, I mean you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: remember Michael Judge.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Ain't right, of course, of course the father may may
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: rest in peace and.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Grand Yeah, he died by necess body, Giuliani and but
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: not karaoke. Got hit by somebody who jumped out of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the out of the building and they landed on him
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and he died right there. So you named all the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: folks that parishat day. And you know, I was watching
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: somebody on television a couple of days ago, and I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: don't like this guy. I mean, I'm sorry, but I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: really can't stand there with Lewis and they're all Spencers
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: days and nights on New York one, Mondays and Thursdays,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: trying to convince New Yorker he's that this guy's doing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a good job. Mom, Donnie and I sit down and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not as smart as you, hang, but I try.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: To that's not true.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: No, it is true, true, No, it is And I tried.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I figure, I try to figure out where he's doing
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a good job. Okay, kids, I got kids too, I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: got two kids. Great, so you got people watching the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: kids even in the park all day fantastic. Okay, outside
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of that, I gotta tell you on the pro and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: con sheet, I've got about twenty five cons. I mean
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it twenty five and like one pro am I missing something.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Like said, he's a brilliant communicator, a brilliant propagandist, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: he's setting this up talking about things he's doing which
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: is not necessarily doing because there's no money to do it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: The city is going to have an extraordinary fiscal crisis
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: under his control, which he's going to blame Eric adams Worth.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: But all these things he's talking about have become reality
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to the minds of too many in New Yorkers, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: most of them are not going to happen because there's
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: no money there. And then he will be able to
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: blame the Feds and blame the state and blame everybody else,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and his constituency will be all revved up because they're
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: being screwed their minds because the great Man is leading
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: them down the path to greatness and he's being blocked.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: That's the deal. He's brilliant at it. The problem is
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: not much will be accomplished, because that's the nature of this.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: But those who love him will go into the streets
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and do the most horrendous things to prove their love.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But I got to tell you, maybe I'm wrong, Hank.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like the tide is turning. You say he's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: brilliant at it. He was, no question about it. He's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: an evil man. There's a lot of evil people that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: are ended up being very successful and very very bright. Right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, Hitler wasn't a stupid guy. Okay, and I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hate saying his name, but the truth is he wasn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a stupid guy. But I feel, Hank, and maybe I'm wrong,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: but the tide is turning a bit. I've actually spoken
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to New Yorkers. I'm an interview That's what I do.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I meet you on the street, I say, hey, nice
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to meet you. What do you think? And I'm hearing
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: some buyer's remorse. I don't think this guy is nearly
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: as popular today as a day that he won. Or
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: No? I think you're right about that, say, I mean,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: look forget about the Jews. He's to find them as
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: a minority that no one's paying attention to it. He's
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: allowed to say what he wants. The Blacks are not
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: going to lose their minds in the out of burrows
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: when he comes up with the tax increase for homeowners,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: many of whom are African American, the out of boroughs
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: who have struggled to put property together over the years
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: so they could put their kids to college and have
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: some kind of benefits as they go forward into retirement
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: and every day. I mean, it's going to get worse.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: The Asians, the Chinese are now the large fasts gen
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: population New York City. They're underserved in Brooklyn and other
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: areas with city resources. They're going to start to lose
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: their minds. I mean, this is not going to work
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: out well, but he will have that base of stupid
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: young people. Yep, the most tamper generation the history more regularly,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: never played kaalous on their hands like him. They have
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: been housed more regularly, guess at a higher costs. Unfortunately,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: they're over educated and they stand to gain the larger
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: transfer wealth in the history of humanity when when the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: boomer generation dies. So that's what we're talking about, is
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: in his corner and in the corner of the progressives
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: across the country.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: God, it seems so unfair, but you're exactly right. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I bought this over here before in Ed
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Cox and these other folks that run the Republican Party
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in this city. You know this guy is already. This
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. He's seven months in seven eight months in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to his first term. He's already campaigning and raising money
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and I believe over a million dollars already for his
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: next run in three and a half years, not three
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and a half months, in three and a half years.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: What should the Republican Party in this city and this
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: state be doing right now because Dave Portnoy, Sid Rosenberg,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Michael Rappaport, maybe Jessica Tish that may not get it done.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: It is important to create a Republican party in New
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: York City.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: We don't really have one. We have the beginnings of one.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: To I believe the two parties, and I believe in
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: multiple multiple party, but certainly two party government. I think
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: without it, you have what we have today, which is
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: mom Donnie. The only way to make this happen and
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: to make it work is for people to stand up
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to start identifying as Republicans. They can be anti Trump Republicans,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, but.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: They've got to start identifying as Republicans.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Number one, Number two organize and create Republican clubs wherever
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you can that are that are young people directed three
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: start running for seats. You know, at one point in
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the Upper East Side of Manhattan in modern history, like
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: you know, thirty years ago, we had a Republican congressman
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: or a Republican assemblymen or Republican state senator and the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Republican let's see a council member. You know, you got
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to do that and getting one of the chambers back
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: from the state legislation. You know, people sit on not
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: paying attention. The plan that the bad guys have for
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight is to take the legislatures all over
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the country. My hunch is their targets are New York,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, Maryland, California, and Michigan. My hunch, and the
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: plane is to ensure that they control reapportionment, yep, that
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: they can do tremendous damage to the real estate industry,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: and that they can also ensure that attached to dectible
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: contributions to Israeli charities, to Jewish charities get tossed out
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the window, bunch of pents.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: The plan, yeah, you just now that you know you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned the Upper east Side Hank. I know you're familiar
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: with everything going on in this city, but you know
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I try to go out there as much as I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: can for Republican candidates, whether it's jo Ornandez Whney, book
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Controller and others. And I'll am it. Over the years,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I've done sef with people that had about as good
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a chance of winning as you and I. We're not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: even running. But I just I just feel compelled to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: help Republicans. But I got to tell you, how do
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you know this? She was on my show again yesterday
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: for the second time, but her and mother, she is
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: so impressive. Her name is Caroline Shinkle. She's running for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the old Jerry Nadlum seat up there on the upper
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: east side. Are you familiar with her?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I am. I have read a bit about her. I've
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: seen this, I've seen her. She's appearing in someplace that
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: I that I frequent a lot of the next couple
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: of weeks. I believe she's very smart, correct, certainly presentable. Yes,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and she win that seat. That seat was cut to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: benefit Jerry Nadler in the first case. That's why Michael
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Lasher won. It's it's much more weighted towards the west
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: side of Manhattan than the East side of Manhattan, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the West side of Manhattan has about as much probability
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: of voting a Republican into office as you and I
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: have a growing tusks tomorrow morning and moving to the
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: ice age.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You're right, and he's another guy that I don't like
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this Michael Lasher. To me, he's kind of like Brad Lander.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned people that may run, and you know, like,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: let maybe a guy that's very outspoken, he's got a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: lot of money, a lot of money, and people like
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the businessman running for office now because of the success
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of President Trump. Bill Ackman, for example, I don't like
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: everything Blackman says. He was way off on may Eric Adams,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: way off on a lot of this stuff during the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: mayor race. But he's a smart guy. He's worth about
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: ten billion, whatever it is. You look at a guy
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: like him, I'm not even choice a staunch Republican, even
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: though he does sit at the White House coming dinner
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. A guy like him, maybe even a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: guy who was so on CNBC yesterday, guy like Jamie Diamond.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Those are the types of people you think that New
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yorkers would like to see run in these races.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Michael Bloomberg is the kind of person
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: that New Yorkers might want to see run for office.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: He won, he would do it again. You think he
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: would do it again, I know.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: But that kind of person not somebody's brazenly rich, right,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: you know, because the graveyard of American politics is filled
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: with the very rich people who were told by political
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: consults that they could win. And what the political concilme
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: saw was new houses in the Hampton, and with the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: rich people saw was offices they could never achieve. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: it's a pretty pretty deadly combination. And if you look
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: at what the rich people did in their and the
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: the money that they raised to elect someone we shad,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: you know, Andrew Cromo in campaign that was just stupid
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: and badly run, frankly, and the Independent Committee was stupid.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I told them that they ought to be in the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: street doing what mom Donnie was doing, knocking on doors,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and they told me that I was obviously on drugs.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So I guess that the guys who did those campaigns did.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Very well, yeah, financially, but New York certainly did not
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: do well.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: No, we did not well. One more for you, Hank
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I'm very, very close. I speak to this gentleman literally
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: every day, sometimes three times a day, and that's Bruce
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: blake And my son is actually working for him all summer.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: My son, Gabriel, and I love him. And he's done
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: a great job as Nashville County executive and he's in
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a position, I think to do even better than Lee Selden.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: But I think the press tends to make that Zelden
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: race a little closer that it really was. I mean,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like he did a great job, great job,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: great job, bet the one expected, but he really Hoko
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was not in jeopardy evolution that way. Let's put it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that way. Do you think that Bruce Blakeman will do
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: better than Lee Zelden and as a wheel chance at winning.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman will do better Upstate than people think. You know, well,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hokan was giving them Mamdanni eight with an eight
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: million bucks yes to get him out of the soup
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: the balances budget that Buffalo was getting a massive tax increase.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: So you have that problem number one. I mean, Upstaters
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: are not happy about Hopel, They're not happy about Mondani.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Mam Donnie is the greatest gift to subbing Republicans since
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan was born. So that's number one. So if
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman cleans up, there's big numbers in NASA and
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Suffolk County, gives enough in the New York City suburbs,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: and is able to do better in New York City,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and he has a chance. Jews are angry out of Burrow,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Blacks rang out about it. Well, it's not going to
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: do well with Blacks, but there's enough out of Borrow
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: people who would certainly vote for Bruce Blakeman given the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: opportunity to give more information. The campaigns got to pick
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: up some steam, and Blakeman's are very good candidate, So
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: anything can happen, said anything.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Ruben Diaz. I personally reached out to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Ruban Diaz to make sure the Latino community was behind him,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, we're going to vote for him
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: on two lines, Republican and conservative. So getting Ruben Diaz
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in your corner not a bad thing in this city.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: So last thing you mentioned, right, well, you just mentioned it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And I brought this up with Shinkle yesterday too, and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: she agreed, if you're a publican candidate right now. Running
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: in this state. You're not just running against whoever's up
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: against you, right, Hank Szeankoff, You're also running against Mom Donnie.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Everybody I speak to, for example, they're not talking about
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: like Caroline. Yes, they didn't speak only about Michael Lasher.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: He talked about Mom Donnie. Bruce Blakeman doesn't only speak
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: about Kathy Hokeel. He talks about Mom Donnie. So it
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: seems like everybody running in this state is running against
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: two people, including the mayor.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely accurate. The mayor is a problem for Democrats.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: The problem here is the way is the way the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: enemy of the mayors have been running campaigns. You can't
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: run against him by running against him. You've got to
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: run against the arguments that make him who he is. Right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: If you run against him head up, you loose. You
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: got to take him apart for what he stands for.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: That is a different question. And the silly people running
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: against him are trying to run campaigns using him don't
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: get the point. And you d him to the governor
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: and that creates a problem for her.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so actually really good news for Bruce Blakeman. Hank,
