• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York. It's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: SOMEI Own show on seven ten woor Well, it's the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: day before election day. We'll get you all the latest
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on the election in just a second. We'll also get
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to we'll get to the World Series, we'll get to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the marathon, and a whole lot more. It's a tough
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: day to day, not just because the election, but we're
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: on standard time, no more daylight saving time. It was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: brutal yesterday dark at five o'clock. It was really strange.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And there's all sorts of all these studies here, all
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: kinds of studies, actual medical group studies that daylight saving
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: time takes a toll on your health in all sorts
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of ways, disruptures circadian rhythm and all that. So it
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: takes a little getting used to it. And that getting
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: dark at five o'clock all the more reason we got
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to stop with this daylight saving time. Now there is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a bill to get rid of daylight I mean, you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: get rid of standard time, just stay on daylight saving
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: time all year. It's the Sunshine Protection Act, and it's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: been stalled in Congress for years and years and years.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it gets passed at some point. So we'll get
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to the mayoral race right now. Let me coll for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a second. Here you go, they're just getting choked up
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: about this mayoral race. So what do we know? Nothing?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing. You've seen all these polls. They're not good polls.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They're pretty cheap, crummy poles, which is what you see
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in public all the time. There's two kinds of poles.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: There's the public polls, which are very inexpensive, they're not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: very good, they're not very reliable. Then there's the highly accurate,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: very expensive, private internal polls that campaigns do. But in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: this mayoral race, none of the campaigns have done them,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: so we don't have any access to real, real numbers. Now,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the other problem with the public polls, besides the fact
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they're cheap, they just do a few hundred people. They
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: don't care fully select them very often, they just rig
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The metrics are all wrong. They oversample Democrats under sample Republicans.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So you got the problem of nothing but cheap, crummy polls.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Then you got a couple of other problems. You got
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Curtis tends to underpole all the time. So yeah, that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: one problem, Mam donnie. They think might be overpolling Cuomo
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: is in a weird situation. He's not a major party candidate,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He's on some weird third party. It's gonna be tough.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And we also remember as a result of that, Cuomo's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: place on the ballot is way down. If you get
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the ballot, it's Mam Donnie Curtis. Those are the two
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: names at the top of the ballot. You gotta go
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: eight spaces down to get to Cuomo. So let's just
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: go over all the numbers, though, what we do no
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: one voter turnout is through the roof. It's extraordinarily high
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: voter turnout for the early voting, which ended yesterday. There's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: no voting today. Early voting is over. The actual election
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: day is tomorrow. Make sure you get out and vote.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: But in the early voting, seven hundred and thirty five
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: thousand turned out. Three quarters of a million people turned out,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: close to a million. This is extraordinary. Normally you'd get
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: about two hundred thousand, that's really all you'd expect. This
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: has been the biggest turnout we've seen since I'm trying
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to think it. Well, you got one point five million
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, one point five million when Mark
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Green was against Bloomberg. I remember that was right after
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven, so that was one thing. But no,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that was Guliani bloom But so you got one point
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: five million back then. Twenty twenty one was the highest
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: big Apple turnout since the biggest ever was John Lindsay
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine, two and a half million. We may
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: get there, you never know. But we're going to get
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to two billion easily obviously, and we may get more
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: than that. So it's going to be huge, absolutely huge.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: The turnout that makes the polls even more unreliable since
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they're missing all of this stuff. People watching at the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: polls say it's a lot of older people, a lot
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of over fifty, a lot of over sixty that tends
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not to go for Mom Donnie. But there's a lot
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of younger people voting too. So one thing the polls
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: miss two things, the high turnout the extra people that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't count on, and the other thing they miss
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: are the Mam Donnie voters. It could be more than
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we think that this is just a possibility. These posters
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: tend to look for likely voters, and Mom Donnie is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: getting brand new first time voters that the polls usually miss.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: So we don't really know anything from these polls. If
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you take the average of the polls, if you go
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: over all the polls, the best thing to do is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you put all the polls together, combine them into one poll.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's what Real Clear Politics does. In the Real Clear
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Politics average, which is the poll of all the polls,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it's Mamdani forty five percent, Cuomo thirty one percent, Sliwa
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: eighteen percent. But again Sliwa tends to underpole, so we'll see.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of ads. You've been bombarded for
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the last two days. The one thing that was missing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: from this race. She got to drive Mamdani's negatives up
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: into the fifties and that requires big money from these
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: super packs. Billionaires dumped a fortune into these super packs.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And it's not the campaigns. It's these superpacks that run
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the ads attacking Mamdani day and night, bringing up all
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the bad stuff about him, pointing out all the dangers.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: You bombarred everybody with these ads, and that drives his
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: negatives way up, and that cost him the race. Well,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it didn't happen this time. It started to happen yesterday,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: but yesterday's a little too late. It should have been
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going on for weeks. The big donors that normally contribute
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to this were afraid of offending Mom Donnie, so they
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: didn't put the money in. But they're doing it, some
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of them. Bloomberg has put money in. A lot of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: them now doing it on behalf of Cuomo. But it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: been a very strange race. A couple of things have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: happened with Mom Donnie. Even though he seems to be
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: doing well. The Queen's Democrat Party refused to endorse him.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They said they would not endorse him. Now, remember he's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the assemblyman from Queen's this is his party, this Queen's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party. They refuse to endorse him. Everybody has noticed that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The New York Times, although they've really been helping Mom
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Donnie with these puff pieces, these great wonderful lifestyle pieces
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: on Mom Donnie and these puff pieces just flattering the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: hell out of him, they have not officially endorsed him.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: President Obama was here yesterday campaigning for Mikey Cheryl, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he was asked over and over again about endorsing Mom Donnie,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and he won't do it. He won't do it, refused
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to endorse Mom Donnie. Now Obama said he talked with
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie on the phone Saturday, that they had a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: long conversation. He said. His advisor said that he told
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie to come to him for advice or consultation
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: whenever he wants. Happy to advise him, guide him, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: he will not endorse him. Now, the Mom Donny campaign
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was asked about that, how come he won't endorse you,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: refused to endorse you, and the spokesman who used to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: work for Obama said, well, President Obama doesn't endorse in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: local races. It's a long standing rule post presidency. Well,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we checked. He's been endorsing mayors all over the place.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Apparently this guy was lying from the Mom Donnie campaign.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Obama has endorsed LA Mayor Karen Bassi, endorsed her predecessor, Garcetti.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: He endorsed the Chicago mayor Rama Manuel in his election.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I could go on on even smaller races. He endorsed
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Rick Chrisman for mayor of Saint Petersburg. He even endorsed
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Caroline Simmons for mayor of Stamford. So the Mom Donnie
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: campaign was lying. He does mayoral candidates, but refuses to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: do it for Mom Donnie. Now there are people endorsing
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie like crazy, a lot of Hollywood types, a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: lot of you see that. It's on my Twitter that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Mandy Patinkin, great actor, Broadway star, he does a video
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: with Mom Donni where he's just drooling all over him,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just gushing all over him. We gotta win. He's back.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: A lot of these Hollywood types really out there fighting
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: for Mom Donnie. And do you remember this name from
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the past, Ruth Messenger. Remember she was the Manhattan Borough president.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Ruth Messenger as a politician from the seventies eighties, tried
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to run for biguerout, never made it. But she lives
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in a fancy building, Central Park West, Upper West Side.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of wealthy tenants there. Hurst lived there, Armani
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: lived there. She's got the building going crazy. Offended the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: hell out of them because she was running around dropping
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: off flyers at everybody's door, at everybody's mailbox, telling them
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: we've got to tax the rich. We've got to get
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie elected. This is a Ruth Messenger. We've got
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to get Mom Donnie. And we believe he's most strongly
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: committed to making New York more affordable and fairer. Residents
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in the building, furious, fuming, and she actually said, we've
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: got to tax the rich. This is the building they
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: live in. Now, let me spring up something. There's a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: lot of Jewish organizations, a few, not a lot. There's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a few that were backing Mom Donnie. There were some
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn that seemed to be backing Mom Donnie. It's horrible.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: How could they back Mom Donnie. Well, if you talk
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to them off the record, they may have endorsed them,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: but they're all not voting. They're all voting against Mom Donnie.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: They may have endorsed them publicly just to make sure
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they're on a good side of him in case, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: they're not voting for None of them are voting for him.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And that's what really counts New Jersey. I don't know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's pretty close. In fact, a lot
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of these polls have Mikey Cheryl with a very very
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: slight lead. I don't know. I can't tell in New Jersey,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: just can't tell what's going to happen. But there's a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: couple of things. New Jersey has never gone with the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: same party three times in a row, so Democrats have
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: had their two times. They're due for a public and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that holds up that whole thing,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: but they normally don't do it three times in a row.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl. She hasn't got much of a campaign, very
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: weak campaign. Her big point that she's pushing with voters
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is that she can fly a helicopter. I don't know
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: what that has to do with being governor. I mean,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you go join the state troopers. I think they use helicopters.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: You could help them, but flying a helicopter, no big deal.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And the other part of the campaign is we hate
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Trump and Chitdarelli, who's not that close to Trump. He
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: has no real association with Trump, but she keeps you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: pushing that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: On every single occasion. Jack has decided I'm gonna defend Trump.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: He even gives Trump and A Oh guys, I give Trump.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And f Yeah, okay, great. So he gave him an
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: A and something seventeen years ago that he's bringing up.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: They donated hundreds of millions to his campaign and they're
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: now getting rich up the higher utility prices that New
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Jersey families are being forced to pay.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she didn't have that A great boy, she's not.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of irritating I listened to. So apparently they
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: did some internal polling. They saw they got alarmed, so
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they called for Obama. Obama endorsed her a couple of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: weeks ago with a video. That's the endorsement. But apparently
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they saw trouble. They didn't they didn't like what they
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: were seeing pollwise, and they're pulling. So they got Obama
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to come in and campaign for her. And he does
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: what he does. He takes off the suit, he puts
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: on that work shirt, and he instead of sounding like
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a like an Ivy League graduate, all sudden he talks
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: with that you know, he does that yelling and screaming.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And there he was in New Jersey this weekend.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: You've got a Canada for governor. Governor who's a proven fighter,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: who's got a track record. I'm getting stuff done, somebody
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: who sees you and knows your struggles.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: She has a track record of getting things done. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: don't know what you got done. But see now, normally
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: when you talk to Obama, he said, yes, the governor,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he's a track record of getting things done. But when
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he's on the campaign trail, a governor getting things done,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: there's no g on the end of any word anymore.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It's not getting anything done, it's getting anything. He puts
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: on that fake voice for the camp pay here he
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is in New Jersey.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: You have a candidate worth being excited about. You got
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: a future governor to be excited about.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: In microsote, I got to be honest. You know, when
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I hear her voice, Wait, the way she talks, it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't get me. I don't get too excited about it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: On every single occasion, Jack has decided I'm gonna defend Trump.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: He even gives Trump and all.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Be honest, I didn't get excited listening to that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe they donated hundreds of millions to his campaign and
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: they're now hitting her inch on the higher untility prices that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: You know, excited might not be the correct word. So
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the mayor race, everybody out campaigning like crazy. And we'll
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: talk to Curtis in the next hour. Hey, Saturday Night Live,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we'll ask him about this. Saturday Night Live. The opening
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: sketch was about the mayor race, and they recreated the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: mayoral debate in a lot of little New York detail
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: things only really New Yorkers would get. It's a show
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that's seen around the country. I don't know if they
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: all get this. For instance, Curtis, there was a guy
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: playing Curtis, a guy playing Cuomo, a guy playing Mom Donnie.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Here's the Curtis character.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I'm thrilled to be here and not getting shot in
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: the back of a yellow cab five times by the
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Gottis and Gambinos, as I was famously in nineteen nine,
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety three, and ninety four. But I'm the right
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: choice to be a next mayor. No offense to my
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: opponent's mister Cuomo, and I believe I'm saying this right. Zoltah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Rob Zombie.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: That's pretty funny, but I don't know that most people
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: around the country get Curtis was shot by the mafia. First,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they beat him up with baseball bats. They didn't like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: what he was saying about them on the air. He
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: was in the hospital, beatn to a pulp, and from
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: his hospital bed kept announcing them. It wouldn't stop. So
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: they watched his routine. They saw every morning, what time
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: he leaves, what time he hails a cab, And they
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: got a cab and pretended it was a regular cab,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And then they knew what time to drive by, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they picked him up, and they got him in the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: back and they shot him five times, and it was
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: just like in The Godfather where what's his name says
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: they shot him five five bullets and he's still alive. Well,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that's Curtis, And then of course went right back on
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the air and started announcing him again. So you cannot
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: pressure Curtis. Cannot be done. If he stood up to that,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he's going to stand up to a couple of billionaires
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: calling I'm trying to bribe him out of the race.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that one. He'll be with us next hour.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We'll ask him about that. But you can't pressure Curtis.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Nobody can get Curtis ever to give up or back down. Now,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the guy playing Cuomo played him as a sleazy, oily
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: old politician. This is the Cuomo character. As we all know.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: As soon as you are elected Maya, everyone in the
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: city immediately hates you. And in that way, I am
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: already one step out of the game.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So you know Clomo's got this. If you watch his ads,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: he's ready day one. That's this big thing, said Mikey Ryl.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: She can fly a helicopter. You're supposed to vote for
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: this guy, I'm ready day one. You know, I've never
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: seen anybody anybody gets elected seems to be ready day one.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Can you think if anybody got elected and then called
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: in and said, I'm just not ready. I can't come in.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not ready, so ready day one. Flying a helicopter
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean much here. That's the guy playing mom, Donnie.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I want to be mayor so I can deliver a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: better New York free healthcare, affordable housing, free Wi Fi.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: As mayor, Can I make that happen?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure yet, but together we're gonna find out
