  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR' s Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we have a governor's race. Are people paying attention?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Let's find out from Natalie Migliore, WOR reporter with us
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: every day at this time for her Beat on the Street.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: So, are people excited about this election?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, if I had a dollar for every time
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I asked somebody if they were paying attention to the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: specific New York governor.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: race, I'd be broke.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So wouldn't even be able to get something out of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the vending machine here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: No joke.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's so sad.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't even be able to get one of Curtis's honey buns. Yeah,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting out there on the streets because there
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: are several races happening. But one of the biggest is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the governor's race where Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul is taking
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: on Republican challenger and Nassau County exec Bruce Blakeman. So
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the million dollar question at this point, because you only
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: need one, who is paying attention?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm looking for a change, so I'm hoping for
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Blakeman to get in.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: I already voted, so yeah, but I'm not paying close attention.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I voted for Governor Hope.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Pick somebody else.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Are you paying attention at all to midterms?
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: I am.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: How do you think it's all going to shake out?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Who knows? That's what I have to say. Who knows?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: We have our hopes, but we have our dreams also. Okay. Well,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I've actually.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Been kind of hearing more about the midterms, right?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Which, is it the same thing? How civically engaged? First,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: we have somebody who.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Is giving us poetry, and then next we have somebody
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: who's wondering what the midterms are.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Now, the midterms are.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Just the.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: General term we use when elections are taking place at
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the two year mark of any president's administration.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: This time it's President Trump's.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's considered the face off between two major parties as
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Republicans look to keep control of Congress this time around.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Just taking it to the streets, it seems like people
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: are paying more attention to the congressional races and things
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that really impact federal policies, in a sense. And that's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: informing how they vote in New York's, wait for it,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: gubernatorial race.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You know, I love that word.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Like this Hochul voter.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: More people who would be less inclined to vote for
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: her would probably sway toward her because they're so fed
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: up with what's going on.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: The corruption.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the incompetence, to name a few.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I would like to see integrity, telling the truth, facts-based
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: policies to come into vogue again, because right now we
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: don't deal in reality, we don't deal in facts, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: we don't deal in truth.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: Policies are despicable. They're ruining the country. We've never been
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: at this point of crisis before. I can't wait till
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: the people are seated after the midterms. That's my concern.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: That's a hokowoda.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Without saying Trump, that's what she was inferring.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: You hit the nail on the head. And that's what
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you see, though.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: People are passionately walking around, particularly Manhattan. You don't really
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: get a lot of, you know, Midtown people coming in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and out from different places.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So they have different political views in a sense.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But some days it just hits different.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I had a much different tell than you had. It
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: was when my people are seated. So they're not seated
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: now and you want them to take over Congress.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Democrats. Democrats. She used code language.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Well, experts say it's likely the Democrats take back the House,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but something New York City residents seem to be hoping for.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: This New Yorker, though, she's tuned into what needs to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: be done on a city level, a state level, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: how the governorship would actually impact her with no intention
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of voting for Hochul.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I don't like anything about her, actually. So I'm looking,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I'm going to the other guy. I'm just hoping for
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: somebody who will try to fix some things that are
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: going on in the city, like electricity and stuff like that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, Con Ed is ridiculous. So, you know, totally
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: crazy in the summer paying $ 400 for a studio is insane.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think she's doing a good enough job.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I certainly not going to vote for her counterpart, Republican counterpart. And,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: you know, I want to see the city continue to flourish.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And I want the governor to have the people's interests
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: at heart rather than their own, unlike our president.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Boy, that first contributed there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Hit the third rail.
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: The energy costs, your electricity bill, and coming up after you,
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: we're going to be talking about how Blakeman was at
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: the border with Pataki, the last Republican governor, talking about
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: how we should be fracking to lower energy costs.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: That's very important to the voters now.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely when it hits pockets, when it hits
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: their public safety, people pay attention to that. The interesting thing,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is just the differences in the approach between parties. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you could see the unhappiness that people have with the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: federal level or the happy, whatever, they let that impact
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: how they're going to vote on the local.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Well, I do appreciate it. Natalie Migliore will be back
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: with us. Same time, same place tomorrow at 7.50.
