• 0:10
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark, good morning, Good morning, Mark.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I got a question to you. In this city, we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: probably have fifty percent. I don't know what the numbers
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: are of voters that are completely uneducated. Don't follow. What
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: city you're talking about?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: New York City.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Well you're not in New York City, Okay, but it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: even though the rest, well you can't you're just making
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: up statistics fifty percent or not on an He can't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just make up I don't. You can't just make up
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Let's go to Jerry in New Jersey. Jerry,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: how you doing good?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Let me check you're good. They don't really care. They
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: just say how you're doing, but they don't the answered yes,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Yes, go ahead.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: You believe that Andrew Andrew Clomo really wants to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: mayor after being CEO. I think they're dusting him off
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: to see if he could run against AOC and take
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Schumer's seat in the Senate.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, No, obviously, when your
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: governor mayor is a big step down. Although it's more
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: fun to be mayor. Actually, nobody wants to go to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Albany mayor. You're in city Hall, you live in Gracie mansion.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's nicer than the governor's mansion, better located. But you're right,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you're right. He's plotting his whole life. He's been plotting
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to be president.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did you see him with Stephonicus governor if she
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: said you'll never serve again.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah, that's the problem with colommeall.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You don't. You never know what he's really up to.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: But the argument is, Mom, Donnie is so horrible, so horrible,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you'd vote for him. It's like, this is like the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: worst mess New York has ever gotten into, and you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Democrats got us into this with your primary there without
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: anybody you'd want to vote for. It was Mom Donnie
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and then the lowest to worst people in the world,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to Brad Lander types and the worst people have you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: ever seen? In the primary in Cuomo couldn't even beat them.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He got wiped out in his own primary. But we'll see.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: We got six days left until the election. Let's go
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich how you doing.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Thanks Mark.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: A couple of things.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Any connection the fact that us AID got defunded. Now
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are broke and they're all screaming if they
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: will need money.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That's pretty coincidental. Up, Yeah, that could be that us
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: AID was basically just a slush fund. It was to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bribe people all over the place, and a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Democrats profited off of this. Shutdown is not going well
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: for Democrats. Republicans, their messaging is very good on this.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: The problem is Trump controls the White House, so he
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: makes the shutdown is not painful. Remember when Obama was
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: president and he did the shutdown, he tried to make
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it deliberately as painful as possibly. Closed everything, even though
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: he didn't have to. They closed monuments World War Two,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: monuments that didn't require any staffing. There was no reason
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to close him. He just wanted to make it look painful,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: so he had them closed and the yellow police tape
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was put all around him and they were closed up
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: just so everywhere it looked was a symbol of closure,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: even though there was no reason to close those things.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Let's go to David and Passaic. David, how you doing,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: good morning.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I want to reminisce what will happened on the Montdani.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: In the late seventies, property valleys went down, taxes went up.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of fires in the South, Bronx
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: had gangs, even have Gerald Ford told New York City
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: dropped dead, remember that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was more mid seventies. That was under a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: beam and.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: A beam right in. The Financial Review Board took over
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and the city was bankrupt. Garbage was all over the streets.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no way. Which party was that? Oh yeah, it
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: was Democrats there once again they don't do good at running.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You know who got to start? Then go to sleeve
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in the subways. That's when he started the Angels Angels.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, back then, there was quite a year. There's a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: big mini series about nineteen seventy seven. It was an
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: incredible year. You're right. It was fires and crime, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it was the sun of Sam summer, and it was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the Yankees and Reggie. It was quite that. It's somewhere
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: online you can find that nineteen seventy seven. It's a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: documentary series. But it is fascinating to watch. Go back
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and watch it if you can. I guess how bad
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: could mom Downy be? Probably? Well, remember we went through
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this with the Blasio who was it didn't declare himself
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: as socialist, but he was pretty much a socialist. Anyway,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Let's go to line too. You're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on the air. How you doing? Oh, hey, Mark Good,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's trumb from Hey. Anybody who believes that nine to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: eleven was about Islamophobia should never be mayor of New York. Yeah. Well,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it's like he's like the Muslim house Sharpton. I guess
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know. Sharpton always plays the race card even when
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it doesn't apply, and he's playing that Islamophobia card when
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it doesn't apply. There's not this has never been a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: problem in New York City. New York City is a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Muslim city. It's eleven percent Muslim. The Jewish population is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: only eleven percent. You get the same number with Muslims,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: eleven percent. And if you talk to the NYPD and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: look over all the data, there's not an a tax
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: on Muslims. It's not happening. Attacks on Jews, yes, yes,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in great numbers, Anti Semitic attacks by the thousands for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. You've seen them all over
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the news. And if you look through NYPD data, it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: tons of anti Semitic attacks, anti Muslim attacks. You will
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: not find any in the city. It really doesn't happen. Obviously,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it was something people thought about right after nine to eleven,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: but it didn't result in much of anything. Hey, when
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we come back, Roger Friedman, the great entertainment reporter, he'll
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: be with us. Next, we'll get back to the mayoral race. Hey,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to Bruce Blakeman later. He's got a lot
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to say about mom Donnie. He's also the guy you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: should vote for Nassau County best County Executive in America.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But all of that's coming up on seven to ten.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Wor
