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

17:01
Speaker 5: it right when you said that the survey, that poll
17:04
Speaker 5: that everybody was basing UH that Curtis back out of
17:08
Speaker 5: was based by and run by lobbyist Homo. I congratulate you.
17:12
Speaker 2: And he only do we get do we bleep that
17:14
Speaker 2: out and then stop picking on him? He's our friend.
17:17
Speaker 2: Let's go to UH Sandy in West New York, New Jersey.
17:24
Speaker 7: Good morning, Yes, Mark, I wanted to tell you that
17:28
Speaker 7: I learned.
17:28
Speaker 6: That the UH. The first of all, I want to say,
17:34
Speaker 6: the Orthodox Jews are very concerned about this selection, very
17:38
Speaker 6: much so that oh it's this Sandy.
17:42
Speaker 2: Sorry. Let's go to uh uh Anthony and Edison Anthony.
17:47
Speaker 2: She always disguises himself.
17:52
Speaker 6: The Democrats over here in New Jersey. Quick delay Trump
17:55
Speaker 6: out saying that he spikedly handled this gateway project. I'm
17:59
Speaker 6: gonna you got to give me the stinty on that.
18:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, he canceled the gateway project. This is part of
18:06
Speaker 2: fighting back in the shutdown. It's canceled until it's uncanceled.
18:11
Speaker 2: End the shutdown, start negotiating, and the Gateway project is back.
18:16
Speaker 2: And that's the way Trump does things. He starts the
18:19
Speaker 2: negotiation by taking away something. It just gives him more
18:24
Speaker 2: power than negotiation. You know, you go into the negotiation saying, well,
18:31
Speaker 2: if it gets really bad, I'll threaten to soothe him
18:36
Speaker 2: if it gets really bad. Now what Trump does. He
18:40
Speaker 2: sues you before he even shows up, so the lawsuit
18:43
Speaker 2: is on. Then he goes into the negotiation and he's
18:46
Speaker 2: got some leverage he can offer to drop the suit.
18:49
Speaker 2: It's just the way he negotiates, and he's been very
18:52
Speaker 2: successful at it. Let's go to Fran in Massapequa. Fran,
18:56
Speaker 2: how you doing, my man mark?
18:59
Speaker 6: How you people to keep up the great work. You're
19:04
Speaker 6: a beacon of truth.
19:06
Speaker 2: Oh right, there's gonna be a button here.
19:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, no bucks.
19:11
Speaker 10: I want to know why when they showed the No
19:14
Speaker 10: Kings march and most of the liberal protests. There are
19:18
Speaker 10: a lot of white, fat liberal women, young pinkhead you know, girlies,
19:24
Speaker 10: and some boys.
19:27
Speaker 2: People keep asking that how come it was so white,
19:30
Speaker 2: so old that no Kings march. You gotta remember, these
19:34
Speaker 2: are older. It's these are people have nothing to do
19:36
Speaker 2: all day. They're not working, they've they've got nothing going on,
19:40
Speaker 2: they're retired, They're sitting at home all day getting old
19:42
Speaker 2: riled up. They're watching MSNBC and CNN. You know the
19:46
Speaker 2: average age of the MSNBC viewer. I think it's seventy
19:49
Speaker 2: two now, No, seriously, and uh, it's an older, older,
19:53
Speaker 2: older crowd that march.
19:55
Speaker 6: Uh.
19:56
Speaker 2: You know, if you're younger, you got more going on.
19:59
Speaker 2: You're busy. You know, I don't have time to go
20:01
Speaker 2: to a No King's March. So it was a very
20:04
Speaker 2: old crowd and they put on those crazy costumes and
20:08
Speaker 2: the whole thing. It just looked like Halloween at the
20:10
Speaker 2: Senior Center. It was just absolutely ridiculous. Hey, when we
20:13
Speaker 2: come back, we haven't had any real polls in this race.
20:16
Speaker 2: There's these junk college polls and these little nothing polling
20:22
Speaker 2: companies you never heard of. We'll talk to the greatest
20:24
Speaker 2: polster in the world. Next on seven to ten WR,
20:30
Speaker 2: let's get.
20:30
Speaker 1: Back to the Mark Simone Show on wo on.
20:34
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you see these media polls, college polls,
20:38
Speaker 2: They're all terrible, just these junk poles you see polling
20:41
Speaker 2: companies you never heard of. The biggest and best poster
20:44
Speaker 2: in the world is John McLaughlin. This is the one
20:46
Speaker 2: presidents and prime ministers and the biggest campaigns use. John
20:51
Speaker 2: McLaughlin has. The website is McLaughlin online dot com and
20:55
Speaker 2: he's with us. Now, John McLachlin, how you doing.
20:59
Speaker 6: I'm doing well because you say very nice, flattering things.
21:03
Speaker 6: But I'm fortunate that I've polled for Donald Trump. And
21:06
Speaker 6: as you and I have discussed before, President Trump proved
21:10
Speaker 6: that polls rite a long time ago in twenty sixteen
21:12
Speaker 6: and has done so since. So I guess, yeah, we'll
21:17
Speaker 6: see about well, now he's talking you know, some of
21:19
Speaker 6: his friends that talking to him about twenty twenty eight.
21:22
Speaker 6: We'll see. Well, so I think I think, yeah, I
21:26
Speaker 6: don't think that's I don't think that's going to happen.
21:28
Speaker 6: So that's I get to listen to the nice things
21:32
Speaker 6: people say about our polls, because last year we said
21:34
Speaker 6: he was going to sweep his battleground states and when
21:37
Speaker 6: the popular vote and he proves that true.
21:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, just explain to people these public polls they're cheap, flimsy.
21:42
Speaker 2: They're like five hundred people, a thousand people. That's not
21:45
Speaker 2: always likely voters. I mean, what you do is much
21:47
Speaker 2: more scientific, elaborate, much much bigger scale. So but we
21:51
Speaker 2: haven't had a real poll from a real what they
21:54
Speaker 2: call the internals by any of the campaigns. Have we
22:00
Speaker 2: really And when.
22:01
Speaker 6: You're looking at I mean when you look at national polls,
22:03
Speaker 6: like they've gone back to their biased against the president
22:08
Speaker 6: and they're kind of right. It could be I legal immigrant,
22:10
Speaker 6: they have cell phones. I mean, it's serious. Some of
22:13
Speaker 6: these polls, like there was a poll out last week Economists.
22:16
Speaker 6: You go of online, so there's an online poll and
22:19
Speaker 6: they had when you go into their internals, they have
22:22
Speaker 6: more liberal it's so wrong. They have more liberals and conservatives.
22:25
Speaker 6: That's the opposite of the exit poles from West November.
22:29
Speaker 6: And they have more Democrats and Republicans. Again it's the
22:33
Speaker 6: opposite of the exit polse. The big killer is this
22:36
Speaker 6: Economists Ugo poland was done like the October twentieth they
22:40
Speaker 6: and they had that they had like twelve hundred people,
22:44
Speaker 6: but they're supposedly you know, adults, but they had only
22:49
Speaker 6: thirty five percent Trump voters. We got fifty percent. So
22:53
Speaker 6: when they come out with a job approval for President
22:56
Speaker 6: Trump of forty three percent, it means they're short as
22:59
Speaker 6: fifty points just they had because nine out of ten
23:04
Speaker 6: Trump voters still approved the job he's doing at least,
23:07
Speaker 6: if not one hundred percent. So you get so just
23:10
Speaker 6: add fifteen to the forty three, that'd be fifty eight.
23:13
Speaker 6: So the better polls have them like we had in September,
23:17
Speaker 6: we had a forty nine percent for forty six disapproved.
23:20
Speaker 2: We had the.
23:20
Speaker 6: Republicans winning for Congress forty seven to forty one. But
23:24
Speaker 6: it was a thousand likely voters. We know the voters
23:27
Speaker 6: were contacting the voters. We're asking them how likely they
23:30
Speaker 6: are to vote, because it's a big difference because in
23:33
Speaker 6: the last national election you had our hundred sixty million
23:36
Speaker 6: people vote apart me, one hundred and fifty six million
23:40
Speaker 6: people voted. It was one hundred and sixteen twenty twenty,
23:43
Speaker 6: So that's out of a universe of you know, like
23:47
Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty two hundred and sixty adults in
23:50
Speaker 6: the United States. And then when you get to when
23:54
Speaker 6: you get to the midterm elections, the midterm the elections
23:59
Speaker 6: go even further. So in twenty eighteen, one hundred and
24:02
Speaker 6: eighteen million people come out, and in twenty twenty two
24:06
Speaker 6: it was one hundred and twelve million. So nationally, when
24:10
Speaker 6: you're saying a thousand likely voters trying to represent a universe,
24:13
Speaker 6: it's the universe of probably about one hundred and ten
24:16
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty million voters that are probably going
24:18
Speaker 6: to come out, and poles really don't predict turnout. You
24:21
Speaker 6: have to look at other barometers when you get close
24:23
Speaker 6: to the election.
24:24
Speaker 2: Well, now let me ask you about the mayoral race.
24:26
Speaker 2: I know you haven't pulled it. Nobody's really pulled. No
24:28
Speaker 2: real top polling companies done this mayoral race. But what
24:31
Speaker 2: is your sense right now? Is Mom Donnie on track
24:34
Speaker 2: to win? Has he been losing steam? Is Cuomo gaining?
24:38
Speaker 6: By the way, we did poland January for Betsy McCoy
24:41
Speaker 6: first her Save our City project, and back then we
24:44
Speaker 6: had only thirty one percent of the Democrat parwer voters
24:47
Speaker 6: preferring Cuomo. And when you have the second choice, cause
24:51
Speaker 6: that grant choice voter was only five. So I told Betsy,
24:54
Speaker 6: he's not going to win. It's just and it seemed
24:59
Speaker 6: to be right for the primary, but Mondomie hadn't emerged.
25:04
Speaker 6: And when you look at it, like the Fox News
25:06
Speaker 6: pole that came out, and it was like October fourteenth
25:09
Speaker 6: was the day that came out. The difficult part is
25:13
Speaker 6: Mondomie's the most favorable of the candidates, so they had
25:16
Speaker 6: Mondomi ahead, but he had a fifty eight to thirty
25:18
Speaker 6: seven farewell unfairwell, while Cuomo in that poll was fifty
25:22
Speaker 6: to forty eight and Curtis was thirty six to fifty
25:25
Speaker 6: three farewell to unfarewell. And then there was the ar
25:30
Speaker 6: the AA RP pole, which was one thousand and forty
25:34
Speaker 6: likely voters that got them did and it was mild
25:37
Speaker 6: after the last male race was kind of a snoozer
25:40
Speaker 6: with Adams and so you only had a million people.
25:45
Speaker 6: So you know, when you think about it in the city,
25:48
Speaker 6: you could have one point eight million voted. When I
25:51
Speaker 6: was pulling for Leeze Eldon and we were in a
25:53
Speaker 6: close race with Hockel, there was one point eight million
25:55
Speaker 6: people came out in the city, or when I was
25:56
Speaker 6: polling for President Trump, they had two and a half million.
25:59
Speaker 6: Peace will come out in those races, you know, Lee
26:03
Speaker 6: and President Trump did as well as a Republican could
26:06
Speaker 6: do in the city where we got thirty percent. And
26:09
Speaker 6: so this aar P pole. When you're looking at it,
26:12
Speaker 6: it's probably tilted, it's probably too old and may not
26:15
Speaker 6: be democratic enough. Yeah it yeah in it, but they
26:20
Speaker 6: have they had. That's the one that caused the stir
26:23
Speaker 6: where you had the three where you had a Mandamie
26:27
Speaker 6: at forty three in Cuoma twenty nine and Curtis at nineteen.
26:31
Speaker 6: So Curtis is running behind where Trump and Zelden were,
26:34
Speaker 6: but in the two way. That's because it was an
26:36
Speaker 6: older sample, maybe a little light on the Democrats. It
26:40
Speaker 6: was forty five Mandami forty one Cuomo, and that's when
26:43
Speaker 6: they all started. Curtis got to get out now, Curtis
26:46
Speaker 6: needs to be Curtis and Cuomo needed to be going
26:49
Speaker 6: after Mundami in a heavy way since all summer. They
26:53
Speaker 6: should have been, but they've been. You know, these all
26:56
Speaker 6: these people like you say, the billionaires who don't know
26:58
Speaker 6: what they're doing, been playing musical chairs, saying, oh this
27:02
Speaker 6: once you get out this, once you get out the
27:03
Speaker 6: problem is when you look at the internals of that poll,
27:06
Speaker 6: Mondammie is a net positive forty eight to forty five
27:10
Speaker 6: faarble to unfavorable, and Curtis is thirty five fairuell forty
27:15
Speaker 6: seven unfairal So he's a net negative and Cuomo's a
27:18
Speaker 6: net negative thirty seven faarabele to forty eight unfavorable.
27:21
Speaker 2: But now you said, yeah, but you said, way back
27:24
Speaker 2: months ago, you said, the only way to stop mom Donnie,
27:26
Speaker 2: You're going to have to have them bombard the airwaves
27:29
Speaker 2: with negative ads, bring out his negatives, drive up his unfavorables.
27:32
Speaker 2: Where were the donors. They didn't do it, none of
27:34
Speaker 2: the packs. Where were they.
27:37
Speaker 6: No, by the way, I don't use the word negative
27:40
Speaker 6: issue adds issue ads, but where were they They They sat,
27:44
Speaker 6: they set it out, Well, it's cheaper that way, it
27:48
Speaker 6: don't It didn't cost him anything. I mean, Cuomo wastes
27:51
Speaker 6: a lot of their.
27:52
Speaker 2: Money in the primary.
27:53
Speaker 6: And now now you know, but you have you know,
27:57
Speaker 6: like we were in President Trump's campaign, the contrast between
28:01
Speaker 6: his job as president versus Biden and Harris the job
28:04
Speaker 6: they had done, and people respond to issues. Now you're
28:08
Speaker 6: seeing you know, kitchen sink ads coming out about Mundomie's
28:12
Speaker 6: positions on the issues. About legalizing prostitution, it'll increase human trafficking.
28:16
Speaker 6: He wants to legalize drugs, it'll increase drug use on
28:20
Speaker 6: the subways. Him defunding the you know, closing jails, defund
28:24
Speaker 6: By the way, the one who won the last two
28:27
Speaker 6: mayoral debates is Bruce Blakeman in Nassau because works for
28:32
Speaker 6: Bruce out there. Bruce has done a great job. He's
28:35
Speaker 6: cut taxes, he's refused to raise taxes in four years.
28:39
Speaker 6: He's hired hundreds of new police officers. They're the Savis
28:42
Speaker 6: County in America and so Mondamie in Nasau County has
28:46
Speaker 6: a twenty five favorable he has to sixty nine percent.
28:52
Speaker 2: Right, there's no chance of Blakeman leasing we hope.
28:54
Speaker 6: Well, he can't take it for granted. It's an eight
28:56
Speaker 6: point Democrat county. So there's more Democrats in Nassau than
28:59
Speaker 6: there are Republicans.
29:00
Speaker 2: Everybody get out, Yeah, everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman. Well,
29:04
Speaker 2: just about it. We got like a minute left. What
29:05
Speaker 2: do you think is going to happen in this election?
29:07
Speaker 2: Turnout wise, Well, we get a big turnout can make
29:09
Speaker 2: a difference.
29:10
Speaker 6: You think we'll get it, Well on Saturday, they start tomorrow,
29:13
Speaker 6: they start voting early, so you'll have actual counts of
29:17
Speaker 6: people by party, by registration, by Burrow. And if it's
29:20
Speaker 6: like the primary room, Mandmie's his nonprofits, that stores funds,
29:25
Speaker 6: et cetera. If they start getting people online and voting,
29:28
Speaker 6: that won't be good for Andrew Cuomo Curtis Leer. So
29:32
Speaker 6: you know, so if you, if you, if you care
29:36
Speaker 6: about New York City like we do, you need to
29:38
Speaker 6: make sure that it's not just you know, the people
29:42
Speaker 6: need MONDMI organization.
29:44
Speaker 2: Can't you got to get out and vote. Hey, Clomo
29:47
Speaker 2: had a pretty good debate. Surprised everybody? Does that mean anything?
29:50
Speaker 2: Is that going to help? Is it too late?
29:52
Speaker 6: It definitely helps, And it's not too late until election day.
29:56
Speaker 6: You got to you know, I mean it's bout forty
29:59
Speaker 6: five forty one close. You know, granted, he's he's still
30:04
Speaker 6: got to do a lot of issue education and a
30:06
Speaker 6: short amount of time on Mondmie's on the on the
30:09
Speaker 6: record between them and and and you know that's the
30:11
Speaker 6: probably that's why Curtis still has has a significant amount
30:15
Speaker 6: of the vote because there's a lot of people that
30:16
Speaker 6: remember Cuomo was the guy who gave us cashless Vale
30:19
Speaker 6: casas Bale has like been really bad for you. So
30:25
Speaker 6: so as far as the election goes, you know, Clomo's
30:28
Speaker 6: got to he's got to make up a lot of
30:29
Speaker 6: ground against Mondamie where the final points could be the
30:33
Speaker 6: toughest points to uh to recapture. And you've got you know,
30:37
Speaker 6: and you got other races, like you've got more Maron
30:39
Speaker 6: given Alvin Bragg, a race that's been you know, over
30:43
Speaker 6: shadowed by the male race.
30:45
Speaker 2: It would be great everybody votes for maud Maren for DA,
30:48
Speaker 2: get rid of Alvin Bragg, maud Maren for DA. John McLoughlin,
