Hour 1: The future of New York City. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now seven wor presents, no Mark some own show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hello, welcome to the show. Oh well, I don't know
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: what to tell you. I don't know what to tell you. Listen,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: we got through the pandemic. We'll get through this. We'll
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: get through this. We got through eight years of the Blasio.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We'll get through this. We'll go over everything that happened,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen. A couple of things. We now
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: have all the results in all the numbers. Only half
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of New York voted, but that's high turnout. It was
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a big, big turnout, biggest turnout in a couple of decades.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: But it was still only about fifty percent of the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: voters showed up. It went over two million. Looks like
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: if you look through the numbers, it's pretty apparent that
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Andrew Cuombo had no chance ever at any time, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: it had nothing to do with Curtis. If you added
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in Curtis's votes, he still would be several points behind him, Donnie.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: So there's there was no chance, zero chance for Andrew
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Cuomo to win none. You know, there's this fantasy if
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Curtis dropped out, well, then those votes would go to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Cuomo and then he would win. First of all, if
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Curtis were to drop out, you figure about half the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: votes would go to Cuomo, half would stay home. There's
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: actual polling data that shows that. But even if he
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: got every single voter of Curtis's, which would be impossible,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: but even if he did, he still would lose to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie by a few points. So Cuomo never had
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a chance. The real problem is everybody can't stand the guy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And he had a horrible record as governor, just a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: disastrous governor. He did horrible things to New York and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the single handedly caused the crime wave with his no bail,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: no jail in closing the prisons and all that. And
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: then the list I could read you the list of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: twenty horrible things he did to New York. So he
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and he left in disgrace. He resigned in disgrace. I mean,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: he just didn't have a chance to add to that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it'd be one thing if you were really
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: likable guy. Remember Maryon Barry mayor of DC who got
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: caught in all kinds of scandal. But he was a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: likable guy. He was a charming guy. People kind of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: had a little affection for him that this is not
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the case with Clomo. Nobody likes the guy and he
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: never had a shot. Now, the problem is Culomo had
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: no chance at all because another reason, main reason, he
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: was totally out of shape politically, just totally rusty, out
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of shape politically. And he came alive the last week
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: or two he got some energy. He started doing speeches, rallies,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: he started doing appearances, he started to sound sharper, he
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: started to get a bit of a message. But those
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the last two weeks. Then for the first two months
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: he was just awful, totally rusty, totally out of shape politically.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: He was absolute disaster. In the primary. In both those
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: debates he got wiped out and had nothing to do
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: with the rank choice. He lost every round of the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: popular vote. And then the primary ended, and then he
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: decided to run on some third party and he didn't
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: really run. He did no appearances, he did no rallies,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: knowing he did very few interviews. There was a month
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: or two of him doing absolutely nothing. That's when he
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: needed to get the momentum going. Then even in the general,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there was a period remember not long ago, he took
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: ten days off. Who takes ten days off in the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: middle of a campaign, So he didn't get it together
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: until last two. He's way too late, way too late.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You got it. You know, that's why candidates go to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Iowa a year or you know, a year and a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: few months before in elections to get the messaging honed,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to get in shape. It's like spring training. You gotta
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: get up to speed. He never did any of that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: A curtis the reason he was great in the debates.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: This guy was working twenty four to seven for a year,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I mean rally after rally, speech after speech, NonStop. Anybody
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: wanted to interview him, Just the opposite of Qualma. So
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Cuomo screwed up the primary debates. He screwed up the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: first mayor old debate, did okay in the fourth one,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: but again way too late. And then he had the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: other problem of being this tired old fossil, this old
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: dinosaur politician from another era. And Chuck Schumer, you better
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: take notice of that. Today's Democratic voters have had enough
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: with you old dinosaurs from other eras. Kathy Hochel, you too,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you better take notice of this. So it was a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: historic turnout. It looks like it'll be about two point two million.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Those other bad news it was a very bad night
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for a lot of reasons. Alvin Bragg easily won reelection.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg won reelection Westchester County. We were hoping to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: get a Republican county executive. The Democrat Jenkins won. Not
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the only thing that is in Westchester County. The county
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: executive doesn't really do much of anything. The legislature runs everything.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But and it's just in that county. It's not a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: count executive doesn't have a lot of power there New Jersey.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It looks like Chitarelly. I mean, we liked the guy,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: but he wasn't a great candidate. He was okay, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he wasn't great that maybe Mikey Cheryl wasn't much of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a candidate either. But the MAGA base there in New
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Jersey did not turn out for Chittarelly. They're not too
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: fired up about Chitarelly. So he didn't just lose, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: really lost. This is his third time and he's losing
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: by more and more each time he runs. So it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it's not a good sign. Mom. Donnie, big night, big
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: victory speech, he was the star of the night. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: guarantee you, I guarantee you. AOC is not happy about this.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: AOC who wants to be the leader of the Waco
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: side of the party is now no longer that. It's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. He's the first. I think he's all these things.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He's the first Muslim mayor. He's the first Indian mayor.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I could add to the He's the first mayor without
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a job, never never worked, never did anything. He's the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: first mayor who just became a citizen two weeks ago.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He's the first mayor who's twelve years old. I mean,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of that stuff now. He shocked a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: lot of people with the victory speech. There were a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: couple of Curtis was in some sort of a look
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: like a bar restaurant, like a pub on the Upper
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: East Side doing his thing, and Mom Donnie had a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: big theater with a lot of people there. Cuomo for
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: his election night rented the Zigfield Ballroom, which is right
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: over there. It's right across the street from us. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: can see it out the window. The Zigfield Ballroom is
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a very expensive venue. It's a very nice venue. People
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: have their weddings there, big charity gallows. It's a very
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: nice venue, but it's very expensive. I don't know what
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: this Cuomo is thinking. Well, I know what he's thinking.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He's got these billionaire donors, and again, they're lovely people,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: but when they get into politics, they don't know what
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the hell they're doing. And as long as they're paying
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: for it. Cuomo takes the most enormous, big, beautiful venue.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's a venue that will hold a couple thousand people.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He only had a couple hundred, so there was a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: lot of empty space. There no reason to take such
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: an expensive place, but he did. It's the donor's money,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: what does he care? And he did his speech. It
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: was a nice speech. It was a good speech.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: This campaign was to contest the philosophies that are shaping
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party, the future of this city and the
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: future of this country. Well, all right, this campaign was
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the right fight to wage. And I am proud of
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: what we did and what we did together.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he went on to he made this whole thing
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: about we gave it our all, We fought our hearts out,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we left everything on the field. Thank god a light
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: detector wasn't hooked up to him. There would have been
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a massive blackout all over the East coast. But gave
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: it all. He didn't campaign at all for the first
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: couple of months. Even in recent times, he took ten
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: days off in the middle of the elect I wouldn't
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: call that leaving it all on the field. But here's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: more of Cuomo.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Two million voters, the largest number in modern political history,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: cared enough to show up in a municipal election, and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Forty two percent voted.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: For us on an independent line.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: All right, that's pretty good.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The only thing is you got to keep repeating this.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: You got to keep remembering this. If Curtis were not
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in the race, if Cuomo had every last Curtis voter,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: which is impossibly, wouldn't have gotten them all. But if
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: he had every Curtis voter, he still would have lost
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: by a few points. And Mom Donnie won. This was
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the part nobody quite expected. Mom Donnie did win a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: majority of the votes, almost fifty one percent. He did
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: win a majority of the votes.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Congratulations to Zor on Monday.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Now that's great. He still can't pronounce the guy's name.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: It's Mom Danni, but Cuomo always says mom, dammy.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Congratulations to Zoran Mondalmi.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: No no no, no, no.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, that is no, that is not right.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: That hey that is not right, and that is not us.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: That is not us. Clomo is the most gracious man.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: That's not us. He's a very gracious, humble when the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: camera's on, as soon as it's all oh, if he's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: threatening everybody, yelling, screaming at everybody.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: One of you. I love you for.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: The fight you made, for the soul that you showed,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: and the example that you said.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: He loves you. You could drop dead, you'll step right
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: over your body, But when the camera's on, when the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: MIC's on, he loves you. So now here's the thing
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: about mom, Donnie. We know he's a phony, we know
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: he's a con man, but we didn't know which way. Well,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it looks like this is bad because when he made
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: his big victory speech, that's normally when you congratulate Andrew
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Cuomo in a good fight and all that. But he
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: got kind of ugly in the victory speech. This is
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: something he didn't do in the campaign, Trilly. He was
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: always the smiling salesman. He was a different guy in
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: this victory speech. He got angry at times. He got
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: really aggressively angry. Not just a Trump but at Cuomo.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: He said, I hoped I never utter his name again.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a kind of anger you don't usually show.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So if this is the real hymn, this is not
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: a good sign.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: In this new age we make for ourselves, we will
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: to pity us against one another.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: There was this little campaign pitting you against the billionaires.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: The billionaires the right to get you and the gender.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: It will freeze the rents for more than two million rents,
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: stabilized tenants, make bus is fast and free, and deliver
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: universal childcare across in the city.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, now that all sounds great. Now you know
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: he can't do it, but he tapped into something and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: this is what really the election was all about, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: all over the country he was right about affordability. People
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: are upset about prices, and it's not just product and play.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Inflation is actually coming down. It's gonna you know, it
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: takes a while. Biden had it at record heights. It's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: coming down. But still people feel that everything is too expensive,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and they're talking about insurance and rent and all this stuff.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: People just think everything's too expensive and it's not that
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: it's Trump's fault or anybody's fault. But when they feel
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that they'll vote against the establishment, they'll come out in
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: great numbers and just they just hate the establishment, they
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: blame them, and they'll go with the anti establishment candidates do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: We won because we insisted that it no longer would
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: politics be something that is done to us. Now it
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: is something that we do.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that meant, but it sounded good.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: Hope over turney, hope over big money and small ideas,
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: hope over despair. We won because New Yorkers allowed themselves
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: to hope that the impossible could be made possible.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope this guy's not gonna yell like this
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: for four years. You get a headache after a while.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Actually the reason he's yelling Cuomo's in a massive ballroom,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: but there's only a handful of people there. This guy's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: he really had a crowd. This guy had thousands of people.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: In fact, even the press told me there was like
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: a press line. You had to wait in line like
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: an hour to get in. There was so much press
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to cover this.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Every New Yorker whither you voted for me, for one
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: of my opponents, or felt too disappointed by politics to
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: vote at all. Thank you for the opportunity to prove
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: myself worthy of your trust.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Now let's remember it was the weirdest election, just a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: strange election. First of all, the Democrats. You got to
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: be mad at them. Look what the Democrats did to
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. They nominate a crazy socialist and then after
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that that's a problem. So now they tell you to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: vote for this disgraced governor who had to quit in
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: total disgrace, who everybody hates that. This is the choice
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: they gave you. The Republicans are R. Curtis is a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: pretty good guy, but there's no Republican Party. There was
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: no machine behind him, no ground game, no get out
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the vote game, no anything. And you end up with
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: You end up with Mom, Donnie, my friends.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: We have toppled a political dynasty New York tonight. You
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: have delivered.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Now the other thing it's do We don't have the clip,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: but he did say one point something thank you to
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo, and I'll be happy to have to never
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: utter his name again. Well, okay, if you want to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: look at the silver lining or whatever, I think we're
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: done with Cuomo. We don't ever have to worry about
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: him taking office again. So you've probably finally rid of Cuomo.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Although that guy's like herpies. It always comes back, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: it never goes away forever. But it's been it's just
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: been a weird, weird night. Everybody very up, so we
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going to happen. The transition is underway.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Eric Adams says that he had a transition team putting
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: together everything a new mayor would need to have, see documents, books,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: explanations of things. They've been putting that together for weeks
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and they are beginning the process of handing it over
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to the Mom Donnie team. Now there's a lot of
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: de Blasio people on this Mom Donnie team, so they
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: have some experience in city hall. But anyway, we've got
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to. We'll go over the mail
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: race throughout the show. We'll get to Jack Smith. It
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: turns out Jack Smith is Watergate times a million, bugging
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: people's phones, even the President of the United States. He
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: even tapped his phone. So, Woodward Bernstein, where are you?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: You should be on this story. But we'll get to
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: all of this coming up. We'll take some calls next
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to see what people have to say, hey, once again,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Curtis was not a factor. He didn't cost anybody to race.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: If you took every Curtis voter and added it into Cuomo,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Cuomo still loses by a few points. But we'll take
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: some calls. Next, eight hundred three to two one zero
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three to two
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten, the Moon.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Show, delivery the news before it is on seven ten
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: WR A lot.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Of people upset today. Uh, let's take some calls. Let's
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: go to Mike in New Jersey. Mike, how you doing.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I'm great? Well, okay, Mark, Uh, we're looking out wounds
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: here in New Jersey. But for those people who are
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: pointing at Curtis, my question is this, if if Cuomo
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: is such a political uh professional, he should have known
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: that the third party.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, Curtis. Curtis had nothing to do with Cuemo's loss.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Curtis had nothing to do with it. If you could,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you could take every Curtis voter added into Cuomo's column.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: He still lost by a few points, and Curtis had
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with Cuomo's loss. Let's go to Phil
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and Queen's Phil, how you doing?
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, I wanted to apologize to you. I did confuse
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: you with somebody another, uh the other day. So I'm sorry,
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: you're the best.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: We don't know what you're talking about, but thanks.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: No, I thought you were a little down on Curtis,
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: but I apologize.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: You got the wrong shot.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Let's and it was like Crystal Knock last night, only
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: without the broken glass. It's really really disgusting and I
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: just can't can't get over it. And it's a sad day.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: The only good part is maybe, uh you know, maybe
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: having the sky is the tittro ahead of the Democrat Party.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Will Well, it's bad for the Democrats. You're right, it's
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: not good for them. Also, we got rid of Andrew Cornwell,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: that's a good thing. I mean, you hope they never
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: see this guy again. But it's a bad thing. Listen,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it's it's this is like a second pandemic. Well, it's
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: a pandemic. We'll get through it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Remember Donald Trumps president. That's the good news. He can
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: should anything happen bad here, crime, whatever, he can do something.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Send in the National Guard, figure out something, send in
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: federal agents. It's Trump, He'll figure out something. Also, remember Hokeel,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: this this is the end of Hokeal, she'll be responsible
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: from Mom Downie. That picture of them arm in arm
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: will be used against her, So you really only have
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: one of mom, Donnie. If you get a good governor
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, at least Stephanic somebody a year from now,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: they can actually they have the power to remove Mom, Donnie.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Bob in New Rochelle, Bob, how you doing.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I've been better, Mark, I've been better.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It just boggles the mind. And that many people can
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: be that stupid.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Well apparently they can.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, And you're also right, there is one silver lining
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in all this.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Did we lose him? Nope? I guess we lost him. Bob.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: What's the silver lining?
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: That we won't have to hear that annoying nasally voice anymore?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Which one? Cuomo? You won't have to hear him talk
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to you like you're stupid. Yeah, you won't have to.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: But again, he's like herpies. He always comes back. It
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: always comes back. Let's go to Shelley and Long Island. Shelley,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning said for New York.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Do you think that Jack Smith or any of.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: These other corrupt judges, et cetera are ever going to
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: be arrested?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Are we ever going?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jack Smith, will will Jack Smith. It looks
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: like they got him. We'll get to this a little later.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: It looks like they really got Jack Smith on some
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: stuff right now. Where are you in Long.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: Island in the Siacid area.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Oh that's Nassau County. You got Bruce Blakeman, you got
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Anne Donnelly reacted. You're in good shit?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: God?
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, thank god.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: That's like a model for the whole country. Bruce Blakeman,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: best county executive in America. Let's go to Bill Lafayette,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Bill, How you doing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: I'm doing pretty crowmy Mark. I am convinced that Manhattan
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: and all the democratic boroughs are loaded with a bunch
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: of educated idiots. Sheryl and Mandami campaign to go after Trump.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: What happened in nonpartisanship. Let's work together to make this
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: place a better, better world to live in.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna happen. That's not going to happen.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: But DOMI is gonna be for criminals. And they interviewed
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: a retired police officer from New York and New York
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: and he mentioned that there will be a mass.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Accident by the way, well listen, there's some cops they'll
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: tell you it's gonna be a mass exodus. There's some
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: cops that tell you there won't be a max mass
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: exodus for reasons you don't think of. First of all,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of these guys, especially they're older, they got
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a pension they're working towards. Then they don't give up
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the pension. Also, when you get one of these soft
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: on crime, uh crazy mayors, the job actually becomes easier.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: You don't have to go chasing criminals around, you know,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: in fact, you're supposed to not respond so much. It
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: becomes a much easier job. So there are some that
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: might leave as a result, but some that might not
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: just want to stay and get that get that uh
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: that pension. Let's go to Michael. Where are you, Michael, Manhattan?
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: Oh yes, Manhattan. First lad with glebs for you. From
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: that I heard, I told her that you were my
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: morning vitamins.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You have regards from me from Sarah At iHeart.
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I met her at the event.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Well, Sarah, I heard, do we know Sarah At?
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: I heard she has an email addressed.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: It's like four hundred people working here. I don't know
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: there must be a couple of.
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: Next point that people haven't noticed is that the proposedal
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: in California for redistricting went through.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: We all noticed it, of course we noticed it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but it's going to spare spare real trouble for
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: the House of represent Well.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Actually, some people think not. Some people think not because
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the fact that it went through will make it easier
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: for the Republicans to do the same thing in all
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the other states with less objection. If the Democrats can
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: do it, they'll be able to do it. Where are
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you in Manhattan? Is this a tough question? We lost them. Hey,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll talk to the Dean himself,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Ed Rollins. We'll see what he thinks about what happened
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: last night. We'll get to Ed next on seven to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: ten wor Marc Simone on wor. Well, let's talk to
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the Dean himself, Ed Rollins. He's run more campaigns, more
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: of the successful campaigns than anybody on Earth. Ed Rollins,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: How you doing well?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you? How are you? No?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I'm good? What the hell happened last night?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: We got our bots kicked meeting Republicans at the end
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of the day, Democrats heart maneuvers and certainly had and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: what but at the end of the day, what they
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: did is they created one crazy candidate here in New York,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: which we'll have to win with the new mayor and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: experienced and certainly socialists by inclination, and two progressive women
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: who got new governors of Virginia and New Jersey. The
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: women I worry about more because they're articulate and they
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: had an interesting story and they blew us out. I mean,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the margins were away better than anybody anticipated. So first
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: thing we got to do is we got to shoot
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: all the posters and at least at least the posters
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: they're giving bad numbers and getting the trenches. This is
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the reality is a year from now is when it
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: all matters. This president as president loses this majority in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the House and the Senate serving in the House as possible,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: then he took us in the last two years in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: legal entanglements and potential impeachments and all the rest of it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: So he's got to basically get his focus in his
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: White House, his teams focused on those midterms that they
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: have been focused to date. You got to pick the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: twenty or thirty members that are vulnerable and you can
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: do everything you can. They build up their resources. You
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: gotta do a real examination of what did happen to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: us yesterday? No delusion, no uh uh. Democrats went out
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and they got organized. They turned people out. There's still
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of anger out there in this country and.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: They have to deal with it now, Ed Rollins, you've
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: seen them all come and go. Can you reassure us
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: that we are once and for all done with Andrew Cuomo.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: We're not going to see him again in a race,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: are we?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. That's lucky. I hope he runs for president
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and gets the nomination of the Democratics of kids. No, no,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: he's he's finished and I don't know what he does
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: but at the end of the day and go live
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: on his government pensions. But he ran a terrible campaign.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, people didn't turn to them. Yeah,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: even even the governor, governor or the other offices. He
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: said this. Yeah, I think people are tired of the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: legacy and and he did. He didn't make his case well. Uh.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he rebuilt Maguardia and the train
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: station is not what people are looking for today. How
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: do you make their life better.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: So so uh explain mont DOMI to us, he's a
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: he's a good salesman. He is a nice, glib, fast talker.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: He sounded very slick. Uh. But there's no substances, no resume,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: no no history of a job. Well how did he
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: do this?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You know, that's going to be a big story and
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna look into it a lot more
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: than I have today. Uh Uh, I mean it's a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about this for several weeks now,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and he's a new phenomenon. He turned young people on
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: because I think people just tired the status quo and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: they this is this is a tough city to live in,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: it's a tough city to govern. Uh. And my my
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: worries is, what's what's this direction? It's going to be
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: AOC and Bernie Sanders coming in here as this senior
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: advisors or of the people that work for those two guys.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Don't guy always going to be his own team? As
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: he is, he kind of gets subs and people. I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: doubt that. That's my my fear is not is not
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: him alone? Uh. You know, we've we've survived the Bill Blood,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the Blazos before, which was Garbal mayors. But this guy
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: has some dangerous thoughts and is it the people that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: he puts around him are even more dangerous. That's what
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I'm worry about.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, but we used to have for mayor, like Rudy
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Giuliani was a highly qualified guy when he ran. I mean,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: incredible crime fighting history, Michael Bloomberg, incredible business resume. The
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: last three guys, the Blasio Adams and this guy are
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: just charming guys with no experience at all. What is
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: this some kind of new trend we got to worry about?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so well to them, to him feel
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: miserably and uh, you know this, this one I think
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: will fail even worse because what his natural inclination is
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and the people are going to advise him. Meaning again,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: AOC's people are are not what this country. The city needs.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: The city needs a pro business. Uh you know people,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: people want the city to be stable, and it's not
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: going to be stable with their socialist policies.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Come in. Now, you live in New York, How bad
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: is this going to be? What?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: What?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: What's going to happen to us?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Uh? I'm an old man, so I'm just I'm just
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: hoping I survive it. Uh, you know, there's so much
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: there's so much to the city that h that's magical.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: But right today it's it's struggling. And the change in
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the demographics. The fascinating party is the early pool stuff
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: is that you know, Brooklyn is a is a place
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that this guy went in and basically built the built
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the base, and you know Staten Island is sort of
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the Republican base and everything else is now different. We
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: have a very important governor's race. And what I bothered
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: me is there's some assumptions now that we've got a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: great chance with our candidate to win the governorship. We do,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: but we don't do that unless we put in a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: reorganization together. And this is not as this is not
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a party has put any organizations. This is the tacky.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another problem. You've got a massive democratic machine
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: party ground game. Republicans is like three guys. There's no
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Republican party here. What do we do about that?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we got to change that. We we have to.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You know that the city is divided. We have five
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: five our own five party chairman and they all have
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: their own little fiefdoms. And the reality was we need
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: a strong party chairman. Uh, you know, and we've got
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to have changed the change the way they've done things.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And Jack Chitarelli, I mean this is his third
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: time he lost by an even bigger margins. That that's
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: it for him, Right, he can't run again, Kenny.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I assume though he should have been. You know, he can't.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He came close with the biggest argument they had. You know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: he came within three points last time. Well, he obviously
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: had his stories flown off this time. And and she
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be a tough candidate and what what are
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you what are you running inst run that when she
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: was in Annapolis, that she basically wouldn't turn in her
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: fellow classmates who cheated. That's that was his big issue.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And the fact that her husband is a stock stocking
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: business made made some money. Yeah, at the end of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the day, she's an effective communicator, and she's likable, and
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you've got to be likable of his business. And when
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I saw the favoral numbers, the polling numbers came out early,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you know, the seven eight nine point margin among favorabilities
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: between the Democrats and Republican candidates, I knew if you
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: don't like somebody, you're not going to vote for him.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: So you've got to have people you like homely you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: don't like right now, Mandavi they like, we'll see it
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: along that.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Last Hey, Gavin Knew, some guy who's a redistricting plan
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: approved in California. Is that going to make it easier
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: for Republicans to do the same thing in their states?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Now? Absolutely absolutely, you know you got more margin in California.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: But the more telling part is the guy who was
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: on the verge of being recalled several times, meaning the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: governor of California, he's now at the hoist of Bowery.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: He had a fifty four percent of proper rating in
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: these polls last night. So he's become a viable candidate
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: beyond California, and he's certainly gonna be if he has
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to be view as one of the front runners of
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I mean, I'd love to have the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity to run against him. But at the end of
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the day here we can't underestimate him as a messenger.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And certainly the House Republicans have got to have a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: plan here because they're got to care to Donning Brook.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: We lose that House and we lose him bout four
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: or five or ten or twenties. He's gonna make all
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the difference in the world. But the reality is the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: President's gonna have a bad two years if that happens.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: So they got to do everything in this White House
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: against some of this formed policy stuff and what have you,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and be realistic. Realistic is president still has some popularity
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: on the base. None of the base was motivated by
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: him yesterday and in the election because he wasn't on
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a campaign like he traditionally would be busy, busy guy
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: doing lots of other things. But it wasn't doing wasn't
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: focused on the campaigns, and that's his people come out
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: when he's on the ballot. He's not gonna be on
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the ballot again, so you've got to cut a somehow
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: substitute something or someone for that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Good point. Well Ed Rollins, Thanks for the wisdom, and
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: we'll talk again soon. Thanks for being with us, and
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: we'll do it again soon. All right, Take care, take care.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: We'll go over the mail race some more. A little later.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: We'll get to New Jersey, the governor's race. We've got
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to coming up. Don't forget Buck
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: and Clay at noon today, excellent show. They'll go over
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: what happened last night, as will Sean Hannity, who's here
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: at three o'clock, the most listened to radio show in America.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: And then Jesse Kelly at six Jimmy Fayla, excellent show
• 31:34
