- 0:00Speaker 1: Tomorn.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Similar on seventeen w momar, Well, it's Friday, now tomorrow Saturday,
- 0:09Speaker 2: and it's the first day of early voting mayoral race.
- 0:12Speaker 3: The election actually begins tomorrow. Voting starts tomorrow and it
- 0:16Speaker 3: goes for ten days. Get out there and vote. Vote
- 0:18Speaker 3: for Curtis. We think he'd be the best mayor. But
- 0:21Speaker 3: tomorrow is the first day. Well, we'll get back to
- 0:26Speaker 3: the meryal race. Now, the shutdown has been on for
- 0:29Speaker 3: two weeks. This is the big payday normally for government employees.
- 0:33Speaker 3: They're going to miss a payday today. And they tried
- 0:37Speaker 3: to take votes every day to what they want to do.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Republicans sign what do they call that? A clean cry?
- 0:43Speaker 3: They've all this jargon, but what it means is they'd
- 0:46Speaker 3: extend the talks. You signed this thing, and it extends
- 0:49Speaker 3: everything for seven weeks. That gives you a chance to negotiate.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Every time they bring this up for a vote, Democrats
- 0:55Speaker 3: voted down. They don't want the extension. President Trump tries
- 0:59Speaker 3: to explain, I think.
- 1:00Speaker 4: The Democrats have gone totally crazy, and you don't know
- 1:04Speaker 4: what they're gonna do because they don't care about the
- 1:08Speaker 4: people they I really think they have no leadership. They
- 1:13Speaker 4: have a lot of very low IQ people.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Well, you do have some low IQ people. You got
- 1:18Speaker 3: a lot of those aocs. But the real problem is
- 1:20Speaker 3: no leadership. You don't have a clear leader. In the
- 1:23Speaker 3: good old days, it was somebody like Chuck Schumer. Now
- 1:25Speaker 3: he's like an old, washed up has been who's so terrified.
- 1:29Speaker 3: He knows it's over, he knows he can't run for reelection.
- 1:33Speaker 3: AOC has already out raised him like ten to one
- 1:35Speaker 3: in money. And then you got Hakeem Jefferies, not really
- 1:38Speaker 3: a leader. He's trying to be. He's trying to look
- 1:41Speaker 3: serious and look like he has some gravitas, but not
- 1:44Speaker 3: pulling it off at all. So without the leadership, they
- 1:47Speaker 3: can't seem to get anything done. And that's another problem
- 1:49Speaker 3: the Republicans have. There's really nobody to negotiate with. Schumer
- 1:54Speaker 3: is not free to even be Schumer. He's just so
- 1:56Speaker 3: terrified of the left. And that's the problem. So we'll see,
- 2:01Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. You know, this all started over
- 2:04Speaker 3: the healthcare stuff, and it was all caused by the
- 2:07Speaker 3: Obamacare prices going crazy. They were just getting out of control,
- 2:12Speaker 3: and they've got to be something's got to be done
- 2:14Speaker 3: to get them back under control. The premiums are just
- 2:17Speaker 3: going through the roof. Everything has gone crazy. You remember
- 2:20Speaker 3: what they called Obamacare, Remember what the original name was,
- 2:24Speaker 3: the Affordable Care Act. It was supposed to start that way,
- 2:28Speaker 3: but the prices on it went up like seven hundred
- 2:30Speaker 3: percent and it's unaffordable now. You remember the other thing
- 2:34Speaker 3: that was billed as is you like your doctor, you
- 2:36Speaker 3: can keep your doctor. You like your plan, you can
- 2:38Speaker 3: keep your plan. Well, nobody ever saw their doctor again.
- 2:41Speaker 3: All of a sudden, you're in some weird network. Everybody
- 2:44Speaker 3: lost their plan that was under it. It's just a mess.
- 2:47Speaker 3: It needs to be fixed by both sides. But somebody's
- 2:51Speaker 3: got to give in and sign that extension. It give
- 2:53Speaker 3: you a few more weeks to talk about it. Hey,
- 2:57Speaker 3: this big NBA scandal. You know, I like Steven A,
- 3:02Speaker 3: but sometimes he can say the dumbest things. You know,
- 3:05Speaker 3: he looks like a smart guy and he's always well
- 3:07Speaker 3: dressed and articked, and then every so of he just
- 3:10Speaker 3: says the dumbest stuff. So he's getting a lot of
- 3:13Speaker 3: flack from yesterday because he I don't know what he
- 3:17Speaker 3: was thinking. This whole NBA scandal. He was trying to
- 3:19Speaker 3: blame it on Trump. He said, it's Trump that caused this,
- 3:23Speaker 3: it's retribution from Trump Cash Prittel FBI director, he said,
- 3:28Speaker 3: it's about the dumbest comment he's ever heard. This investigation
- 3:32Speaker 3: was started by Joe Biden's administration. The Trump administration just inherited.
- 3:36Speaker 3: It's been going on for about two years. Trump's only
- 3:39Speaker 3: been there whatever it is, eight months, nine months. But again,
- 3:44Speaker 3: this whole it's operation, whatever the hell they call it,
- 3:48Speaker 3: it's a Biden era investigation. Most of it done during
- 3:51Speaker 3: the Biden era, So nothing to do with Trump whatsoever.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Stephen A. Smith, But he hasn't apologized, he hasn't said
- 3:59Speaker 3: it about it yet. Hey, another good thing in New
- 4:03Speaker 3: York if this works, if they actually do this. They've
- 4:06Speaker 3: announced a crackdown on e bikes, those electronic bikes you
- 4:13Speaker 3: got it's just chaos in the streets. When it was
- 4:15Speaker 3: all cars, the it was just cars and all car lanes,
- 4:20Speaker 3: you would get bikes riding along the very edge by
- 4:23Speaker 3: the curb, which was that was a safer system. Now
- 4:26Speaker 3: you got bike lanes in the middle of the street,
- 4:28Speaker 3: you got e bikes, you got scooters, you got those
- 4:32Speaker 3: what do you call those things? Those petticabs all over
- 4:34Speaker 3: the place. It's an absolute mess. It's total chaos and
- 4:38Speaker 3: no rules. It's just total chaos. Bikes going through lights,
- 4:42Speaker 3: going the wrong way, going on the sidewalk. You got
- 4:44Speaker 3: to start cracking down on this. So step number one.
- 4:47Speaker 3: There's now a fifteen mile an hour speed limit on
- 4:51Speaker 3: e bikes and they claim they'll enforce this. Now, if
- 4:53Speaker 3: they do, two things will happen. Those bikes will start
- 4:57Speaker 3: to have to behave themselves instead of running lights, being
- 5:01Speaker 3: all over the road and speeding. If that's true, and
- 5:04Speaker 3: they start cracking down giving tickets, they'll have to do that.
- 5:07Speaker 3: And the other thing that'll happen is you'll start generating
- 5:10Speaker 3: a ton of revenue because they go city always claiming
- 5:14Speaker 3: they need more revenue. Crack down on the e bikes,
- 5:16Speaker 3: the petty cabs, speeding, tickets, running lights, running all over
- 5:21Speaker 3: the place. It's a ton of revenue. You could probably
- 5:24Speaker 3: get rid of that congestion pricing. But let's see if
- 5:26Speaker 3: they do it. Let's see if they really crack down. Also,
- 5:28Speaker 3: make all those bikes and everything get licenses. It's another
- 5:31Speaker 3: source of revenue. You have to pay for a license
- 5:34Speaker 3: every year. Now, speaking of congestion pricing, you'll notice in
- 5:38Speaker 3: the debate, Mom Donnie said he would keep the congestion pricing.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Is all for it. But you'll notice Cuomo said that too.
- 5:45Speaker 3: I guess he thought he had to since he created it.
- 5:48Speaker 3: He's the guy that gave us congestion pricing. He's the
- 5:51Speaker 3: one that pushed it through, got it passed, and then
- 5:54Speaker 3: hokel used it. But he said he would keep it.
- 5:57Speaker 3: He's all for it. Mayoral race, I don't know. Eric
- 6:02Speaker 3: Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo. He says he'll go out and
- 6:05Speaker 3: campaign with him. I don't know how much that helps.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Adams was in single digits, but he's gonna fight for Cuomo.
- 6:11Speaker 5: Am I angry that I'm not the one taking down Zoran,
- 6:15Speaker 5: the socialists and the communists. You're dawn right, I am,
- 6:19Speaker 5: but you know what the city means more to me
- 6:21Speaker 5: than anything, and it is time for us as a
- 6:25Speaker 5: family to come together.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it's on principle, But on the other hand, remember
- 6:30Speaker 3: there were massive, big, big donors with billions of dollars
- 6:35Speaker 3: trying to spread it around, trying to do whatever they
- 6:37Speaker 3: could to help Cuomo get Curtis out whatever. Who knows,
- 6:40Speaker 3: who knows why Adams is suddenly on board? Who knows?
- 6:43Speaker 6: Corrupt birds of a feather flock to get I was
- 6:46Speaker 6: cursed about that. Anybody who was going to vote Rick Adams,
- 6:50Speaker 6: I have to wonder when they've been these last four years,
- 6:55Speaker 6: because he is the most corrupt man in the history
- 6:58Speaker 6: of New York. So, hey, Andrew Pombo, you could have
- 7:02Speaker 6: whatever vote she had. I don't have a want parrak
- 7:05Speaker 6: Adam's boots.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Now, you gotta admit Adams when he took office put
- 7:09Speaker 3: in some of the sleaziest people. The first few years
- 7:13Speaker 3: of the Adams administration, in fact, how many of them
- 7:15Speaker 3: got indicted, how many of them got arrested, how many
- 7:17Speaker 3: of them are going to trial? It was pretty bad.
- 7:20Speaker 3: But the last year Adams straightened out and it became
- 7:25Speaker 3: pretty good. He brought in Randy Mastro to be the
- 7:28Speaker 3: deputy mayor running things. Mastro is great. You couldn't ask
- 7:31Speaker 3: for a better guy to run city hall. He was
- 7:33Speaker 3: Giuliani's guy for eight years. And then he brought in
- 7:37Speaker 3: Jessica Tish, excellent police commissioner. And under the first few
- 7:42Speaker 3: years of Adams there was tremendous corruption in the NYPD
- 7:47Speaker 3: at very high levels, but Jessica Tish came in and
- 7:50Speaker 3: cleaned it out. It was about ten or fifteen people
- 7:53Speaker 3: and she fired him all some of them pretty big people.
- 7:55Speaker 3: But she immediately give her credit cleaned it up, so Adams,
- 7:59Speaker 3: the last six months things have been fine. Now Cuomo
- 8:03Speaker 3: has said he will keep Jessica Tish and Mom Donnie
- 8:06Speaker 3: shocked a lot of people in the debate by saying
- 8:09Speaker 3: he will keep Jessica Tish. If that's the case, that
- 8:12Speaker 3: would reassure a lot of people. But if you go
- 8:15Speaker 3: back and play the video again and analyze it, he
- 8:19Speaker 3: didn't exactly say he would definitely keep her. He said
- 8:23Speaker 3: he would consider keeping. There was some wiggle room in it.
- 8:27Speaker 3: There was some weasel room. And even if he said
- 8:29Speaker 3: I will ask her to stay on, well what does
- 8:33Speaker 3: that mean for a week, for a month? Fire her
- 8:36Speaker 3: in six months? Obviously, if you had your own idea
- 8:39Speaker 3: for a commissioner, you would take office and she would
- 8:41Speaker 3: stay on until you're whoever your replacement is was ready.
- 8:45Speaker 3: So would she stay on? Which you want to stay with?
- 8:47Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, Well, that's the problem. She did work under Deblasio,
- 8:51Speaker 3: which was pretty bad, and she did take over in
- 8:56Speaker 3: the Atoms when things were still a mess there. But
- 9:00Speaker 3: she would stay on. But you never know. If he
- 9:02Speaker 3: starts interfering, if he starts tampering and things starts restricting
- 9:05Speaker 3: the police, she'd probably, knowing her, she would quit on
- 9:08Speaker 3: principle and not put up with it. Donald Trump Junior,
- 9:11Speaker 3: weighing in on Mom Donnie.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Perhaps it's exactly what we need as a country. You know,
- 9:15Speaker 1: you hate to see New York failure, the birthplace off
- 9:18Speaker 1: Wall Street, the birthplace of American capitalism, go down in flames.
- 9:23Speaker 1: But perhaps that's the lesson we all have to see.
- 9:25Speaker 1: If the rest of the country watches New York fail,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and I believe it will under these disastrous ideas, you know,
- 9:32Speaker 1: maybe that's what we need to stop the spread of
- 9:35Speaker 1: this scourge, of this disease of communism in America.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Well he's not alone. I mean, I don't know about that,
- 9:42Speaker 3: but there's some people that think that it's better to
- 9:44Speaker 3: get mom donnie. Let him be a total disaster. Everybody's
- 9:48Speaker 3: been trying to figure out what to do about the
- 9:50Speaker 3: Democratic this woke, crazy, insane far left nonsense. Even a
- 9:56Speaker 3: lot of Democrats are trying to figure out how to
- 9:58Speaker 3: stop it. So maybe a total Mom Donni disaster, but
- 10:02Speaker 3: we've already tested it, we already watched it. It happened in Chicago,
- 10:05Speaker 3: it happened in San Francisco. It's happened all over the place,
- 10:07Speaker 3: and it doesn't seem to be a lesson that resonates anywhere.
- 10:12Speaker 3: From what I hear, you know, Mom Donnie is funded.
- 10:15Speaker 3: There's a lot of money funding Mom Donnie, a lot
- 10:18Speaker 3: of George Soros type money flowing in millions, many, many millions.
- 10:23Speaker 3: And from what I hear, they got another twenty six.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Mom Donnie's ready to go. They'll run them in other cities.
- 10:29Speaker 3: You know, they got them like a central training headquarters
- 10:33Speaker 3: where they like an academy where they train them how
- 10:36Speaker 3: to be like Mom Donnie, you know, be good in
- 10:37Speaker 3: the debates, say all the right stuff, have that slick look.
- 10:41Speaker 3: There's about twenty six. Mom Donnie's ready to go. So
- 10:45Speaker 3: this idea, let New York go up in flames. So
- 10:48Speaker 3: everybody sees it, learns their lesson. It's great, but not
- 10:53Speaker 3: for us. We're going to have to live through this
- 10:55Speaker 3: if it is, Mom Donnie. I just remember we got
- 10:59Speaker 3: through eight years at the LA. We made it through
- 11:01Speaker 3: the Blasio, So you never know Mom Donnie was using that.
- 11:04Speaker 3: He's got a lot of commercials. Now you're seeing more
- 11:06Speaker 3: and more commercials now. Last few weeks it was mostly
- 11:09Speaker 3: Curtis running TV commercials. Now it's everybody. But there's one
- 11:13Speaker 3: Mom Donnie commercial where it uses a New York Knicks
- 11:17Speaker 3: uniform with his name on it. It implies that there's
- 11:19Speaker 3: somehow there's a New York Knicks connection to Mom Donnie.
- 11:22Speaker 3: The New York Knicks have sued him. They've they got
- 11:25Speaker 3: a cease and desist order. They want him to stop
- 11:28Speaker 3: using their logo, their uniform or anything in the commercials.
- 11:32Speaker 3: They want nothing to nothing to do with them. You know,
- 11:35Speaker 3: there's a candidate in Long Island who's running for DA
- 11:40Speaker 3: or something, and there's some commercial from the opposition tying
- 11:47Speaker 3: her to Mom Donnie. So she's suing the GOP. She
- 11:50Speaker 3: wants nothing to do with Mom Donnie. I think she's
- 11:52Speaker 3: a Democrat. She just wants no connection. She's a Democrat
- 11:55Speaker 3: suing the GOP for trying to connect her in any
- 11:58Speaker 3: way to Mom Donnie. So again, he's very, very unpopular
- 12:04Speaker 3: with a lot of Democrats too. Hey, remember Bob Menendez
- 12:07Speaker 3: Bob Menendez who went to jail. He's the senator with
- 12:12Speaker 3: the gold bars. We're recommending books today. There's a great
- 12:16Speaker 3: book that just came out Isabelle Vincent, big, big investigative
- 12:20Speaker 3: reporter in New York Post, and she's written a lot
- 12:24Speaker 3: of great books. She's written books about all sorts of stuff.
- 12:26Speaker 3: But her new book is called gold Bar Bob. If
- 12:30Speaker 3: you want the real Bob Menendez story, and by the way,
- 12:33Speaker 3: if you're a movie producer, you might want to get
- 12:35Speaker 3: this book. It'd be a great movie. Gold Bar Bob
- 12:38Speaker 3: goes through the whole Menendez story. But you got to
- 12:41Speaker 3: read this because it takes you all through this New
- 12:44Speaker 3: Jersey mafia connection, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East,
- 12:48Speaker 3: the personal campaign contributions, the way he aided others, interfered
- 12:54Speaker 3: in criminal prosecutions, defrauded medicare questionable visa. It's fast senating stuff.
- 13:00Speaker 3: But take a look at this book. It's called gold
- 13:04Speaker 3: Bar Bob Downfall of the Most Corrupt US Senator. So
- 13:08Speaker 3: if you're in New Jersey you might want to read
- 13:10Speaker 3: or anyway, gold Bar Bob speaking in New Jersey looks
- 13:14Speaker 3: like it's tied. We don't have any definitive polling there,
- 13:20Speaker 3: but it's very, very close. Chitarelly just lost by a little.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Now here's the problem. Nothing personal in New Jersey, but
- 13:29Speaker 3: your voting system. There's a lot of funny business goes
- 13:32Speaker 3: on in New Jersey. Even Democrats I'm talking about the insiders,
- 13:37Speaker 3: will tell you officials, people that know all this stuff.
- 13:42Speaker 3: You know, you can't win by one two percent. It
- 13:45Speaker 3: won't cover the cheating in the New Jersey voting system.
- 13:48Speaker 3: You got to win by like three, four or five
- 13:50Speaker 3: percent to cover that. So so far Chitarelly hasn't been
- 13:53Speaker 3: able to get that kind of lead. Hey, well, take
- 13:55Speaker 3: some calls in a minute, eight hundred three to two,
- 13:58Speaker 3: one zero seven ten. Oh and by the way, in
- 14:00Speaker 3: a few minutes, we'll talk to the greatest polster in
- 14:03Speaker 3: the world and see what he knows about the New
- 14:05Speaker 3: York race and the New Jersey race. We'll get to
- 14:07Speaker 3: all of that coming up, but we'll take some calls
- 14:09Speaker 3: next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
