• 0:20
  Speaker 3: I can't vote in your mayoral election. But I love
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: New York. It's a wonderful city. I'm a little confused, though,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: you said that this month DOWNNY guy just became a
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: citizen a group up in Uganda. But I see commercials
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: where he brags about being a kid growing up in
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: New York City.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he only came here in recent years. He
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: only became a citizen. I think five or six years ago.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: He'd been here much longer. But no, he's from Uganda.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: They still have a home, and you got how many
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: people you know have a weekend home in Uganda's short?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: All right, Diane, thanks for Colin. Let's go to Rich
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Rich.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: How you doing pretty good?
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: Mark? Thanks? You know, when I found out that the
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Obama We're going to be part owners or get money
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: from Netflix, I was never given Netflix up any of
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: my hard earned money ever, But as you think any
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: of this has to do with Elon Musk home for
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: the boycott of Netflix and why they're going down a
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: tube sit.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, that definitely helped, definitely helps stock
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: is plunging Netflix in trouble this. I don't know why
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they got so involved in promoting transgender nonsense. I don't
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: know why they why.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: The post I saw a post I Peter King talk
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: about my Donnie this, I'm Donnie that. But one of
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: these Republicans doing to come in and try to get
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: people to vote Republican, because, like you've mentioned many times,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: if you only get a twenty percent turnout, I'm Donnie wins.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: If you get fifty percent of more, Curtis might actually
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: win this thing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, high turnout, Curtis wins. Yeah, you're right. That's that's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the main problem. The Republican Party in New York is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a tiny thing. It's a little tiny thing. The Democrats
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: have a massive ground game. Ground game is the key.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's the teams that people that go out and get
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: knock on doors and get voters and then on election
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: day they bring them to the polls. The Democrats have
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: like sixty thousand in that army that ground game. Republicans
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: nothing nothing, No, there's barely a Republican party in New York.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: That's really the problem. Let's go to Chris and Manhattan. Chris,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: how you doing good?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks Mark. Listen, you said before that people if Curtis
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: were to drop out, people wouldn't vote for Cuomo. No,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I would no. But I don't want Mandanmie, and I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: want quote, I want Curtis to win, but I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: think Curtis can win. So it was between Monday.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Well, well, there's one thing we know for a fact,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because we've already there's one thing we absolutely know. We've
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: tested it. Cuomo cannot beat Mom Donnie. We tried it
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in the primary. He got wiped out in two debates.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: He got wiped out in the So we know for
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a fact he can't beat Mom Donnie. Now you're gonna
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have it. There's nobody else, Yeah, there's Curtis, and you'll
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: have a debate October sixteenth. That'll be Curtis's shot to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: change the whole dynamic by.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Just Curtis for the record.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you remember if quote, we know Clomo can't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: beat Mom Donnie. We already tried that. That's how you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: got stuck with Mom Donnie because Cuomo was so weak
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: against him in the debates. But if Curtis were to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: drop out, none of those votes would go to Cuomo,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: none of them. There's no Curtis. We're talking about normal people,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We're talking about rational, saying people. But nobody would go
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to the Curtis voter is not going to switch to Cuomo.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You know, when Adams dropped out, we find that half
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: those voters went to Mom Donnie. So it's not about
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: everybody dropping out. Anybody was going to be for Cuomo.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It's already for Cuomo. And it's all people that just
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: got bulldozed by Cuomo. Can't We've tried him against Mom Donnie.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know, Mam Donnie started out in the primary as
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: zero at zero. Once you had two debates with Cuomo,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he went to forty points and he just Cuomo is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so weak as a debater. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. I hope you had a good weekend.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: I want you to have a good week short of
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: the fluss of revenue in your opinion, is there anything
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: that can occur that could make the mainstream media the
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: non woke as woke as they have been.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: New ownership, new ownership, and it's gonna that'll take time.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But a good question you got. CBS now has a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: new owner, David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison. He's taken
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: over CBS. He's brought in a new This is now
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: confirmed by the Way today. It will be Barry Weiss,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the new director of CBS News. She's from the New
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: York Times, but she's a sane, rational, old fashioned moderate
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: sort of a Democrat, and she does not like the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: slanted news coverage. She will clean up CBS News. You'll
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: see a mutiny, You'll see a lot of people leave.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He has done this with CBS now. He's trying to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: get Warner Brothers Discovery, which would include CNN. He would
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: then clean up CNN. He saw Musk do it with Twitter.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: He cleaned up Twitter. It was the most biased left
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: wing censoring, crazy place, banning Trump, banning conservatives. Musk bought it,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: cleaned it up. So you'll see CBS get cleaned up next.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And if he gets a hold of CNN, you'll see
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that get cleaned up. Let's go to Joanne in New Jersey. Joanne,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Hi, are you familiar with jimash the singer from
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: kazakh Stan who played manson Square Garden last night?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, What do you think be the next Michael Jackson?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: No? No, you got a little at least good, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you still got a waste.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's like that everybody was the next Beatles, Now
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: everybody's the next Michael Jackson. It doesn't really work that way.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Richard and Bayshore. Richard, how you doing.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well. Marked. This is when the total value
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: of all the savings from the upcoming shutdown cuts or tallied.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I think a good political move would be to apply
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: some portion of that money right away to an increase
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: in the cola that's coming for Social Security, to get
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: a bonus coll and this way people can see what
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: their money can be used for instead of what was nonsense.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, there's a lot of plans. But also with
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the deficit of the trade deficit money, the tariff money,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: there's talk about both these things. Take that money. Let's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: talk about a rebate check. Send everybody, well, it'd be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: everybody like under two hundred thousand a year. Send everybody
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a check for five thousand dollars. Now some are arguing
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: with Trump, don't send these rebate checks. Pay down the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: deficit with it, pay down the debt with it. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: think people rather have the check. We're always going to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have this debt. We live with it. You can pay
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it down.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton brought the debt down, almost the deficit down
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to nothing, but it just pops right back up. But
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you will get something. You will profit heavily off the shutdown. Hey,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll talk to Michael Goodwin next.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Lots to talk to him about on seven to ten
• 6:53
