Hour 1: Who's ahead in the NYC mayoral race? · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: NOWR presents no Mark Simon Shaw. Hey, this is a
0:09
Speaker 1: big week, This is election week. It'll get decided probably
0:14
Speaker 1: this week. Anyway, we'll get to that. We'll get to
0:16
Speaker 1: ballroom derangement syndrome, Liberals melting down another thing they're going
0:21
Speaker 1: crazy over they they're noticing changes at CBS and they're
0:26
Speaker 1: going nuts over that. We'll get to New Jersey, the
0:29
Speaker 1: race for governor, and a whole lot more coming up.
0:33
Speaker 1: So early voting began Saturday. This is it's different nowadays.
0:40
Speaker 1: It's no longer election Day. It's election month practically, so
0:44
Speaker 1: election Early voting began Saturday with record turnout, all time
0:50
Speaker 1: record turnout this weekend. Just on Saturday, it was five
0:55
Speaker 1: more than normal turnout, five times the normal turnout on Saturday.
1:02
Speaker 1: And it was happening all over the place. Manhattan record turnout,
1:05
Speaker 1: Brooklyn record turnout, Queens Staten Island, everywhere, all time record turnout.
1:11
Speaker 1: Now here's the problem for Republicans in New York City.
1:18
Speaker 1: There are three and a half million registered Democrats. This
1:23
Speaker 1: is out of all the registered voters, three and a
1:25
Speaker 1: half million are Democrats. There's six hundred thousand registered Republicans.
1:32
Speaker 2: That's it.
1:33
Speaker 1: Three and a half million to six hundred thousand. It's
1:37
Speaker 1: not good. Now there's one point two million Independence registered
1:42
Speaker 1: one point two million. So usually you can sort of
1:46
Speaker 1: read something into very high turnout, you can't do it
1:49
Speaker 1: this time. Nobody's sure exactly what this high turnout means.
1:53
Speaker 1: It could mean record numbers of Democrats, especially younger people demographics.
1:59
Speaker 1: They've noticed a lot of younger people voting, so it
2:01
Speaker 1: could be the crazy gen X socialist loving voters turning
2:05
Speaker 1: out in record numbers. They are getting an increase in
2:09
Speaker 1: older voters. Those tend to go Democrat, you know, common
2:12
Speaker 1: sense Democrat, like a Cuomo or a Curtis. Nobody knows
2:17
Speaker 1: for sure. There is anecdotal evidence that some Curtis voters
2:21
Speaker 1: are peeling off and going to Cuomo. They don't like Cuomo,
2:24
Speaker 1: they just think he's the one with the chance. Right now,
2:27
Speaker 1: there's only one pole in public. You see all these
2:31
Speaker 1: junk polls, in these college polls that aren't very good.
2:35
Speaker 1: But there's one poll which is a pretty good poll.
2:38
Speaker 1: It's the only one that took place after the second debate.
2:42
Speaker 1: In that poll, it shows if it were a one
2:45
Speaker 1: on one race that Cuomo would still lose by ten points,
2:51
Speaker 1: but it also showed that if we were just Curtis
2:55
Speaker 1: versus Mom Dammie, Curtis would only lose by eight points,
2:57
Speaker 1: so he actually does better than Cuomo. You know, one
3:00
Speaker 1: on one race. But we're not going to get that
3:03
Speaker 1: one on one race. It's too late. It's not going
3:05
Speaker 1: to happen. And a lot of the voting has already
3:07
Speaker 1: taken place, So what's gonna happen. No one's positive there
3:12
Speaker 1: are Again, there's anecdotal evidence of some voters peeling away
3:16
Speaker 1: from Curtis to go to Cuomo, who they can't stand.
3:20
Speaker 1: They just think he's got a better shot. And there's
3:23
Speaker 1: some supporters. Dove Hiken, one of Curtis's big supporters, changed
3:28
Speaker 1: to Andrew Cuomo over the weekend. He's not a Cuomo fan.
3:34
Speaker 1: He's had issues with Cuomo over the years and even
3:36
Speaker 1: said he's not a good guy, but he'll take him
3:39
Speaker 1: over Mom Donnie, and he said, I have nothing but
3:41
Speaker 1: good things to say about Curtis, but I'm just not
3:43
Speaker 1: sure at this point he can win. We'll take a
3:46
Speaker 1: look at that later in the program with one of
3:48
Speaker 1: the great polsters who thinks Curtis actually can win. But
3:51
Speaker 1: we'll get to that a little later. David Patterson is
3:56
Speaker 1: going to make an endorsement today of Andrew Cuomo. Now
3:59
Speaker 1: we love Patterson. He's a great, great guy, very smart guy.
4:02
Speaker 1: The only problem is he's endorsed four people already. He's
4:05
Speaker 1: endorsed Adams, He's endorsed He's gone back and forth a lot.
4:08
Speaker 1: But later today he'll endorse Cuomo. A lot of people,
4:13
Speaker 1: and privately they'll tell you that they can't stand Cuonmo
4:16
Speaker 1: and they know he was a bad governor and did
4:18
Speaker 1: a lot of horrible, horrible things. The no bail, no jail,
4:22
Speaker 1: closing the prisons, I mean, can go on and on
4:24
Speaker 1: and on, the nursing homes. But they just don't want
4:28
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. Now, well, what about all the big donors,
4:32
Speaker 1: the big big money guy, what about the Wall Street guys.
4:35
Speaker 1: You know, they're all talking publicly about Cuomo. We got
4:38
Speaker 1: to get behind Cuomo, But quietly, behind the scenes, they're
4:42
Speaker 1: all meeting with Mom Donnie. Wall Street is getting ready
4:45
Speaker 1: for him. They here's one of them. Off the record.
4:49
Speaker 1: You know, publicly they'll tell you got to get behind Cromo.
4:51
Speaker 1: Off the record, privately, he's just not likable. Sliwa is
4:56
Speaker 1: actually much more likable. It's really sad. Now again they
5:02
Speaker 1: are meeting with Mom Donnie. Meetings are taking place all
5:06
Speaker 1: the time. There's this partnership for New York City, this
5:12
Speaker 1: overpaid Catherine Wilde runs this thing.
5:15
Speaker 2: But that's her.
5:15
Speaker 1: She's like a fixer for all of this stuff. So
5:18
Speaker 1: she's been arranging meetings between all these guys and Mom
5:21
Speaker 1: Donnie Bloomberg has been one of the participants. So they're
5:25
Speaker 1: all meeting with Mom Donnie. Now I don't know what
5:26
Speaker 1: I haven't heard yet what goes on in these little
5:28
Speaker 1: meet and greet sessions with Deblasio. He was pretty good
5:34
Speaker 1: with these big, big, big donors. He let him know
5:36
Speaker 1: right away, you know, whatever you need, call me. In fact,
5:38
Speaker 1: when he would meet the big zillionaire, first thing you
5:41
Speaker 1: would say to me, you have my cell number? Right, No, well,
5:44
Speaker 1: let me give you my cell number. Now they know
5:46
Speaker 1: what that means, you call this anytime you need something.
5:49
Speaker 1: And they also know it means they're gonna get calls
5:51
Speaker 1: all the time for donations. But they're okay with that.
5:54
Speaker 1: That's fine. So what if Mom Donnie were to win, Well,
6:00
Speaker 1: there's still two ways to stop him. One, there are
6:05
Speaker 1: several groups investigating the money that has flowed into him.
6:09
Speaker 1: Tons of millions, tens of millions have flown into Mamdani
6:13
Speaker 1: for this campaign. We know many millions, about four or
6:17
Speaker 1: five million came from Soros through a million other organizations,
6:21
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of that type of money. But
6:23
Speaker 1: it's believed there's a lot of foreign money. They've already
6:26
Speaker 1: found traces of money from China, the Middle East, all
6:29
Speaker 1: sorts of places flowing in. If they can prove it
6:31
Speaker 1: went to the campaign or to the candidate, or the
6:34
Speaker 1: candidate knew about the foreign donations, they can remove him
6:38
Speaker 1: as mayor. They can take him out of the race.
6:40
Speaker 1: So if he wins a week from tomorrow, it's still
6:43
Speaker 1: possible that he could be removed. It's a long shot,
6:46
Speaker 1: but it's possible. An even longer shot. In Congress, they're
6:51
Speaker 1: looking at to review mam Donni's citizenship and possibly strip
6:55
Speaker 1: him of his citizenship, and they do this with a
6:58
Speaker 1: lot of people. They go over there doc if you
7:01
Speaker 1: lied about anything, if you didn't declare that you were
7:04
Speaker 1: a member of or affiliated with any communist or totalitarian party,
7:09
Speaker 1: your citizenship application can be voided. You can't lie on
7:12
Speaker 1: that application, So they're going over everything very carefully to
7:17
Speaker 1: see if they can remove his citizenship. Now this is
7:20
Speaker 1: a real long shot, but if he didn't declare all
7:24
Speaker 1: the organizations that he was a part of or any
7:26
Speaker 1: of that, or hid anything, they can take a citizenship
7:29
Speaker 1: and then he can't be mayor. Now, one thing you
7:32
Speaker 1: got to remember besides the mayoral race. It may be
7:35
Speaker 1: hopeless at this point, but you got to get out there,
7:38
Speaker 1: especially in Manhattan, and vote for some other people. The
7:42
Speaker 1: district Attorney here in Manhattan is Alvin Bragg, who just
7:45
Speaker 1: doesn't believe in putting criminals in jail. He lets them out.
7:49
Speaker 1: First day in office, he put out that infamous memo,
7:52
Speaker 1: we will not seek carcual sentences. In other words, we
7:55
Speaker 1: won't put criminals in jail. It was another factor leading
7:59
Speaker 1: to the crime wave. Get rid of him a week
8:01
Speaker 1: from tomorrow. Actually, you can start today with the early voting.
8:04
Speaker 1: You can get rid of him. Vote for the Republican
8:07
Speaker 1: Maud Maren. She just got the endorsement from the New
8:10
Speaker 1: York Post. The newspaper endorsements don't mean much of anything,
8:13
Speaker 1: but you want to vote for her. She will put
8:16
Speaker 1: criminals in jail. Bragg's conviction rate. Conviction rate falls every year.
8:22
Speaker 1: It's just tumbling lower and lower and lower and lower
8:25
Speaker 1: conviction rate. And it's deliberate. And the other problem is
8:29
Speaker 1: they just reduce charges. If it's a felony, they reduce
8:32
Speaker 1: it to a misdemeanor and then there's no jail. They
8:34
Speaker 1: don't seek a prison term. So you got to get
8:37
Speaker 1: rid of Alvin Bragg, vote for maud Maren. Also throw
8:41
Speaker 1: out every Democrat on the city council. That's your only
8:44
Speaker 1: protection against the Mom Donnie at city Hall is she'll
8:48
Speaker 1: have a more conservative city council and they really have
8:52
Speaker 1: more power than the mayor in many, many things. A
8:56
Speaker 1: Cuomo had one great video. It was done with AI.
9:00
Speaker 1: It was a video showing all the criminals endorsing Mom
9:02
Speaker 1: Donnie and why it was a great video. You have
9:05
Speaker 1: to see it. It was brilliant. Many political consultants saying
9:09
Speaker 1: it might be the future of campaign commercials. It's the
9:14
Speaker 1: greatest campaign commercial of the year. But Mom Donnie started
9:19
Speaker 1: yelling and screaming, it's racist, it's islamophobic, it's whatever. He yelled,
9:24
Speaker 1: and Cuomo panicked and removed it. He had it pulled
9:27
Speaker 1: off the airwaves, which he shouldn't have done. He should
9:29
Speaker 1: have run it twice as much, but it's an incredible commercial.
9:37
Speaker 1: Now you got another race going on at the same
9:40
Speaker 1: time in New Jersey, Mikey Cheryl versus Jack Chitarelli. And
9:48
Speaker 1: apparently in the internal polling. The polls you see in
9:51
Speaker 1: public are pretty much just junk, but the internal polling,
9:54
Speaker 1: the serious polling, which is being done in New Jersey,
9:56
Speaker 1: not in New York, but in New Jersey, must show
10:00
Speaker 1: at Mikey Cheryl's in trouble because Obama was not going
10:03
Speaker 1: to come in and campaign. He just sent a video
10:05
Speaker 1: endorsing her. But they must have seen real panic in
10:09
Speaker 1: those numbers. So Obama is coming into campaign. Obama at rallies,
10:13
Speaker 1: Obama going after Chittarelly.
10:16
Speaker 3: Come on, when you're standing in front of the sign,
10:20
Speaker 3: it's stop the Seal. And there's a guy in the
10:24
Speaker 3: crowd waving a Confederate flag. You know this isn't a
10:29
Speaker 3: neighborhood barbecue. You know it's not a leaguer a women
10:34
Speaker 3: voters rally.
10:37
Speaker 1: Now that's when Obama knows somebody's in trouble. You know, normally, well,
10:40
Speaker 1: he speaks so beautifully, so highly educated, he sounds like
10:42
Speaker 1: Demosthenes when he speaks wellever, he puts on that you
10:46
Speaker 1: all voice, that dumb southern voice that means there's trouble.
10:49
Speaker 1: He's got to really really work at it. So rally's
10:52
Speaker 1: going on in New Jersey. Now, speaking of rallies, this
10:55
Speaker 1: is the other problem. Uh Cuomo sliwa face. Mom Donnie
10:58
Speaker 1: had a rally this weekend Forest Hill Stadium. Mam Donnie
11:02
Speaker 1: had a rally with thirteen thousand people. AOC spoke and
11:07
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders spoke thirteen thousand people. Now, you know, Cuomo
11:15
Speaker 1: couldn't get thirteen hundred people to a rally. Now, Curtis
11:18
Speaker 1: maybe could. Curtis is a very popular guy, and he's
11:21
Speaker 1: been doing speeches left and right, day and night. Cuomo
11:25
Speaker 1: does one every couple of weeks. Maybe I mean a
11:27
Speaker 1: rally kind of a speech, very very light campaigning from Cuomo.
11:31
Speaker 1: But he could never get thirteen thousand. The fact that
11:34
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie got thirteen thousand means, you know, if people
11:37
Speaker 1: will come to a rally, they'll go vote. So this
11:40
Speaker 1: high high turnout could be could be a sign that
11:45
Speaker 1: it's his voters causing that high turnout. Here's Cuomo and Mamdonna.
11:49
Speaker 4: What he is doing is the oldest, dirtiest political trick
11:55
Speaker 4: in the book.
11:57
Speaker 2: Divide people, divide people, divide people by race, by religion.
12:04
Speaker 5: New Yorkers won't let you divide them.
12:07
Speaker 2: You can try to drive as many wedges as you want.
12:10
Speaker 6: It's not going to work.
12:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is all true, but it just doesn't work.
12:14
Speaker 1: It's not powerful as a campaign issue. They all divide.
12:17
Speaker 1: You could say Trump divides too. It's not a strong
12:20
Speaker 1: campaign issue. There's Curtis.
12:22
Speaker 5: You gotta go at these people who embrace terrorism, like
12:25
Speaker 5: Johann Mandanmi and everyone else out there who doesn't mind
12:28
Speaker 5: taking a picture with your mom because it thinks it's
12:31
Speaker 5: going to get them votes from that community.
12:34
Speaker 3: Wrong then, and it's wrong now.
12:36
Speaker 1: Well a little better, but this just gives Mandannie a
12:38
Speaker 1: chance to respond.
12:39
Speaker 6: This is disgusting. This is Andrew Cuomo's final moments in
12:44
Speaker 6: public life, and he's choosing to spend them making racist
12:48
Speaker 6: attacks on the person who would be the first Muslim
12:51
Speaker 6: to lead the city.
12:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, at this point, it doesn't look good.
12:57
Speaker 1: It looks like mam Donni's on track to win at
12:59
Speaker 1: this point. But as horrible as it sounds, yet first
13:03
Speaker 1: of all, you will get through it just fine. Remember
13:05
Speaker 1: he can't do ninety eight percent of the stuff he's promising.
13:09
Speaker 1: He has no power to make the buses free, he
13:11
Speaker 1: has no power to tax you. He just can't do
13:14
Speaker 1: most of this stuff. You got through eight years of Deblasio,
13:19
Speaker 1: you got through Cuomo, who was a real far left governor,
13:23
Speaker 1: you know, you know, letting criminals out, closing prisons. He
13:27
Speaker 1: was pretty crazy as governor. But we'll see, we'll see.
13:30
Speaker 1: It's all about turnout. Get your friends, get your neighbors,
13:33
Speaker 1: get yourself, get everybody you know out there to vote.
13:35
Speaker 1: Vote for Curtis or vote for Cuomo. Either one could win.
13:39
Speaker 1: At this point. Cuomo tends to overpoll. That's another thing.
13:44
Speaker 1: You remember. Cuomo always overpolls. Could be name recognition or whatever.
13:49
Speaker 1: But remember the primary he overpolled by like ten points.
13:52
Speaker 1: It looked like he was an easy win and he
13:54
Speaker 1: was a huge loss. So and Curtis always tends to underpole.
13:58
Speaker 1: But it's just it's the case of turnout, massive turnout.
14:02
Speaker 1: With Deblasio one it was twenty one percent turnout. Only
14:08
Speaker 1: twenty one percent turned out. That's it. That's how Deblasio won.
14:13
Speaker 1: Only twenty percent turned out, twenty one percent. Rudy Giuliani
14:17
Speaker 1: when he ran the first time about sixty sixty one
14:21
Speaker 1: percent turnout. So if you get that high turnout, it
14:25
Speaker 1: can go as high as seventy five It has in
14:27
Speaker 1: presidential years. So if that happen, and it looks like
14:29
Speaker 1: we're on track to get that, we'll get fifty percent turnout,
14:32
Speaker 1: maybe seventy five percent. That can change everything. Hey, we'll
14:36
Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
14:39
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
14:43
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Set up preseat on the
14:46
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app to dou woor to hear Mark live. Set
14:50
Speaker 1: another for Mark's podcast to hear him any time.
14:54
Speaker 6: Now, back to Mark Simone on do Wor.
15:00
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the calls coming in there from all
15:01
Speaker 1: over the country, and I can tell they're all laughing
15:03
Speaker 1: at us everywhere. Some of them are people that got
15:07
Speaker 1: out of New York, some of them are people that
15:08
Speaker 1: never come to there. They're all laughing at us for
15:10
Speaker 1: the mess we got ourselves into. Let's go to Stuart
15:13
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing, hey?
15:16
Speaker 7: Mark here? You you know, in reference to Curtis. You know,
15:20
Speaker 7: I ran for sheriff of my county. I did a radio, newspaper,
15:25
Speaker 7: many interviews, and the people have saw it said that
15:28
Speaker 7: I just blew everybody out of the water. I would
15:30
Speaker 7: be there for hours and hours answering any question effectively.
15:35
Speaker 7: And I only got twenty percent of the vote.
15:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it.
15:38
Speaker 7: And people said I was by far the best candidates.
15:41
Speaker 8: Well, it was that.
15:43
Speaker 1: They might just be saying that, I mean, you're pretty
15:45
Speaker 1: good on the radio. What they might just be saying that.
15:49
Speaker 7: But you know, and that's that's the problem. Very often
15:52
Speaker 7: the best candidate does not win. They don't even know.
15:55
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, that's a very good point. That's
15:56
Speaker 1: happened many, many times, especially in the primary. That happens
15:59
Speaker 1: that flee right, Stewart, thanks for calling. Yeah, you gotta remember.
16:03
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a lot of these people do
16:07
Speaker 1: like a fake radio show. You know, they pay for
16:09
Speaker 1: their own radio show, podcast, they write their own book,
16:12
Speaker 1: they pay for it, and then whenever they run into people,
16:15
Speaker 1: do you hear it? Do you hear it? Oh it's great, great,
16:17
Speaker 1: it's great. Great. It doesn't mean it's good. You know,
16:19
Speaker 1: they're not going to say, yeah, it's bad.
16:21
Speaker 2: Oh god, you.
16:22
Speaker 1: Sound like an amateur. Sounds terrible. So people are always
16:26
Speaker 1: gonna say. I could say to people, hey, did you
16:29
Speaker 1: hear my show today? Oh yeah, yeah, great, great, they
16:31
Speaker 1: didn't even hear it. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
16:34
Speaker 1: how you doing?
16:36
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, you know.
16:38
Speaker 8: The New York mayoral race further illustrates how much more
16:43
Speaker 8: depth the Democrats are at campaigning and winning overall than
16:47
Speaker 8: the Republicans. They know how to drag that guy across
16:50
Speaker 8: the finish line. They don't. They put all their other
16:54
Speaker 8: stuff aside, and they say, this is our guy, good,
16:57
Speaker 8: better and different, and we're gonna get them over over
17:00
Speaker 8: the you know, the finish line. The Republicans can't do
17:03
Speaker 8: that well. They don't understand optics. They don't understand how
17:06
Speaker 8: to put on disaz put on the show.
17:09
Speaker 1: It's actually more well, it's actually more down to earth
17:12
Speaker 1: than that. The Democratic Party in New York is a
17:15
Speaker 1: massive machine. The Republican Party in New York is that tiny,
17:18
Speaker 1: little two man operation. It's nothing and for a ground game,
17:22
Speaker 1: which is important, getting people out of the polls, knocking
17:25
Speaker 1: on doors, bringing voters in the Democrats now have about
17:28
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand people in their ground game. The Republicans
17:32
Speaker 1: have eight hundred, so and it's well.
17:35
Speaker 8: It also bodes for the midterms this election in New York,
17:38
Speaker 8: and they're going to learn something here and they're going
17:40
Speaker 8: to learn how they can transfer it in a year
17:42
Speaker 8: to the midterms. So it's dangerous.
17:44
Speaker 1: No, it's very dangerous. But we'll see, we'll see everybody
17:48
Speaker 1: get out there and vote. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
17:50
Speaker 1: how you doing.
17:52
Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well, thank you, other
17:55
Speaker 9: than the fact that my allergies are flaring enough. But
17:58
Speaker 9: I digress, Mark. Two reports in Barrett Media about CBS News.
18:03
Speaker 9: Evidently the new management has their eye on Brett Behar,
18:06
Speaker 9: but he's still under contract at Fox News. And we
18:10
Speaker 9: have to keep in mind this is a network that
18:12
Speaker 9: hired Katie Kirk a second option. In the second report
18:16
Speaker 9: said that they're looking at possibly taking back Nora O'Donnell.
18:20
Speaker 9: But the thing we have to remember, Mark, is CBS
18:23
Speaker 9: News was successfully sued by Donald Trump.
18:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, she is cleaning it up slowly. We'll get
18:30
Speaker 1: to this in the next hour. Brett bear is under
18:33
Speaker 1: contract for like the next five years to Fox and
18:35
Speaker 1: he's not available. But if you read her statement, it
18:38
Speaker 1: was not we're going to get Brett Behar. It was
18:40
Speaker 1: more like, we'd like a Brett Bear. Somebody like Brettbear
18:43
Speaker 1: we'd like to get. So she meant a Brett Bear
18:44
Speaker 1: type of a guy who has a perception is much
18:49
Speaker 1: more neutral, not so biased, not so partisan, middle of
18:52
Speaker 1: the road kind of guy, kind of Walter Cronkin of
18:55
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five kind of a reputation. There have been
18:58
Speaker 1: some changes noted at CBS already, especially Sunday morning, but
19:03
Speaker 1: we'll get to that coming up. Let's go to uh
19:06
Speaker 1: Rob in Long Island. Rob, how you doing?
19:09
Speaker 4: Yes, good morning, Mark, how are you good?
19:12
Speaker 6: So?
19:12
Speaker 9: Yeah, so, yeah, we.
19:13
Speaker 4: Will get through Mondammie if should he be elected.
19:17
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
19:17
Speaker 1: We you're in Long Island. You've got Bruce Blakeman, best
19:20
Speaker 1: county executive there is.
19:23
Speaker 4: I know he is great, but you know the couple
19:25
Speaker 4: of people that you mentioned Cuomo in Deblasio, they left
19:29
Speaker 4: that fingerprints all over our way of life here, and
19:33
Speaker 4: you know we've been suffering ever since. So let's hope
19:35
Speaker 4: that it doesn't get that bad.
19:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I mean, it's bad. It's bad, but
19:39
Speaker 1: like as I say, Deblasi, you got through eight years
19:41
Speaker 1: of that. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how
19:45
Speaker 1: you doing?
19:45
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, Mark? Ime Okay? Mark. By Kathy Hulchel
19:49
Speaker 2: attending the Three Comedy's rally at Forest Hills. I believe
19:54
Speaker 2: next next year she's sealed her faith. At least Stefan
19:58
Speaker 2: and Guy believe will win it because of that Mark.
20:02
Speaker 2: Everybody's missing something that I said many times. I said
20:06
Speaker 2: on your show. There are a lot of Democrats. I
20:10
Speaker 2: like in my family. My brother and sister are Democrats.
20:15
Speaker 2: They will not vote for Mandami because they'd rather vote
20:19
Speaker 2: for Cuomo because Mandami is a Muslim first, a Democrat second,
20:25
Speaker 2: and he doesn't represent their values. And they're gonna vote
20:29
Speaker 2: for Cuomo because just like a lot of the Indians
20:33
Speaker 2: and the Arabs are voting for Mandami because he's a
20:37
Speaker 2: Southern Indian, my brother and sister are gonna vote for
20:41
Speaker 2: Cuomo because he's an Italian American. It's that simple. And
20:47
Speaker 2: that rally yesterday gave the Republican campaign ad planers plenty
20:53
Speaker 2: of cannon fodder for next year's mid term elections. You
20:58
Speaker 2: see those three main the X on the stage raising
21:01
Speaker 2: their arms together, and the background side, said free Rent Well.
21:06
Speaker 2: I said, in the recent years, the biggest problem for
21:11
Speaker 2: New York landlords and business owners is keeping up and
21:16
Speaker 2: paying out because of the regulations imposed upon us by
21:21
Speaker 2: Bozo's like Hoko and well, Eric Adams is on his
21:27
Speaker 2: way out. But what Mondami's going to do. It's the
21:31
Speaker 2: regulations that are killing landlords and he profits that I
21:37
Speaker 2: made this year by raising rents were immediately raced out
21:40
Speaker 2: by all the things I have to do now to
21:44
Speaker 2: be compliant with the city local laws.
21:46
Speaker 1: Well that's a very good point, Vincent, excellent call, Thanks
21:49
Speaker 1: for calling. You can lower rent simply, you're right by
21:51
Speaker 1: getting rid of a lot of these regulations. Now just
21:53
Speaker 1: remember a mom, Donnie. A huge, huge rally this weekend,
21:57
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand people Forest Hill Stadium filled the stadium. But
22:01
Speaker 1: also just remember Howard Dean. Remember when Howard Dean ran,
22:05
Speaker 1: he was the guy who was gonna win. He was
22:07
Speaker 1: having these rallies with fifty one hundred. They was having
22:10
Speaker 1: these incredible rallies because he was a dynamic speaker. The
22:13
Speaker 1: rallies were the most lively turnout in his rallies and
22:17
Speaker 1: he lost. He lost people just like his rallies. They
22:20
Speaker 1: want to go do mean, it didn't translate into actual votes,
22:22
Speaker 1: so that can happen too. But hey, Michael Goodwin is
22:26
Speaker 1: off this week. But when we come back, we'll talk
22:28
Speaker 1: to the best legal analyst of all, Greg Jarrett. We'll
22:31
Speaker 1: get to Letitia James. We'll get to all of that
22:33
Speaker 1: stuff coming up next on seven to ten WR.
22:37
Speaker 6: Marximo The Issues you really care about on seven ten WR.
22:44
Speaker 8: Well.
22:44
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, the best legal analyst in America. You can
22:48
Speaker 1: watch him on Fox News and of course read all
22:50
Speaker 1: of his columns foxnews dot com and get his excellent books.
22:55
Speaker 1: You'll love his books The Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents
23:00
Speaker 1: and Trial of the Century about the most amazing trial ever,
23:05
Speaker 1: and of course his books about the witch hunt and
23:08
Speaker 1: the Russia hoax and all of that. And he's with
23:11
Speaker 1: us now, Greg Jarrett, how you.
23:12
Speaker 10: Doing, Hey, Mark, good to be with you.
23:15
Speaker 1: I'm fine.
23:15
Speaker 10: Thanks.
23:16
Speaker 1: Hey, let's start with Letitia James. If all these documents
23:21
Speaker 1: are real, I assume they are. This is an open
23:23
Speaker 1: and shut case, isn't it.
23:25
Speaker 10: Well you would think so, But of course you know
23:30
Speaker 10: in Virginia where she's been indicted. You know, I mean,
23:37
Speaker 10: that's mostly a liberal eastern district. The jury pool is
23:41
Speaker 10: going to be inherently biased. So but you're right about
23:47
Speaker 10: the facts of the case. When you tell a bank
23:49
Speaker 10: that your home is primary or secondary and you get
23:52
Speaker 10: a lower mortgage because of it, but then you rent it,
23:56
Speaker 10: you actually rent it out, that's frau. I mean, you're
24:00
Speaker 10: lying to the lender who is deceived about the risk.
24:03
Speaker 10: And the documents would appear to incriminate James. And you know,
24:09
Speaker 10: she can hardly claim og it was a miscommunication or
24:13
Speaker 10: sloppy paperwork when I said it was primary or secondary,
24:17
Speaker 10: because she's on record is the Attorney General in New
24:20
Speaker 10: York stating that that's never an excuse.
24:23
Speaker 1: Under the law.
24:25
Speaker 10: You know, even worse, last year, she issued a public
24:28
Speaker 10: statement declaring that you know, everyday Americans cannot lie to
24:33
Speaker 10: a bank to get a mortgage. Powerful people cannot cheat
24:37
Speaker 10: to get better loans. So her own words will come
24:42
Speaker 10: back to honoring Cord and think about what she did.
24:47
Speaker 10: I mean, she brazenly promised to abuse her office to
24:52
Speaker 10: get Trump, and then she went about doing it. And
24:55
Speaker 10: now she has the audacity to complain that Trump isthanizing
25:00
Speaker 10: the law against her. This is a person with no
25:05
Speaker 10: sense of self awareness.
25:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, if you are running for as an attornational
25:10
Speaker 1: if you're running and you say I'm gonna pick a guy,
25:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna target this guy, I'm gonna get him somehow,
25:16
Speaker 1: is there anything illegal about that?
25:19
Speaker 10: Well, in a normal state in New York is not.
25:24
Speaker 10: You know, it's a desparable offense. It's an egregious breach
25:28
Speaker 10: of ethics to run on the promise of a preordained
25:34
Speaker 10: outcome in a case against a singular individual and you
25:40
Speaker 10: haven't even been elected to the office. You don't have
25:42
Speaker 10: access to the evidence or the files. And that's exactly
25:49
Speaker 10: what a prosecutor is not supposed to do. But you know,
25:55
Speaker 10: the bar in New York, which is supposed to enforce
25:59
Speaker 10: ethics standards, is highly politicized and liberal. And I you know,
26:07
Speaker 10: they've been cheering on Letitia James in her efforts to
26:10
Speaker 10: go after Trump.
26:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're very anti Trump too, as you saw what
26:14
Speaker 1: they took Rudy Giuliani's law license, basically just forgeting the
26:17
Speaker 1: Trump supporter. But right, okay, John Bolton, John Bolton, that
26:23
Speaker 1: looks like an open and shutcase.
26:26
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, as indictments go, this one
26:32
Speaker 10: is rich in details justifying the eighteen charges against him.
26:38
Speaker 10: It's a powerful case of criminality using email and messaging
26:44
Speaker 10: apps to send documents classified as high as top secret
26:49
Speaker 10: to his family members who don't have security clearance. Now
26:53
Speaker 10: you know, he apparently did it as a diary to
26:55
Speaker 10: help him write a book. The sheer volume of material,
26:59
Speaker 10: more than a thousand pages that were seized, is as
27:04
Speaker 10: stunning as the alleged content. There were material there about
27:11
Speaker 10: missile launches, future attacks, covert operations, sources and methods, strategic communications,
27:18
Speaker 10: even weapons of mass destruction. So, I mean, it's really
27:22
Speaker 10: hard to argue that somehow all of that is not
27:26
Speaker 10: highly protected and privileged material, particularly since his systems were
27:32
Speaker 10: actually hacked by Iran that's in the indictment, and that
27:37
Speaker 10: only supports the case against him because it's precisely what
27:40
Speaker 10: the espionageac was designed to prevent.
27:44
Speaker 1: So it looks.
27:45
Speaker 10: Brazen, at the very least, grossly reckless. But under the law,
27:52
Speaker 10: recklessness is not an excuse because it's criminal, whether it's
27:56
Speaker 10: wilful or negligent.
28:00
Speaker 1: Excuse. I needed to write a book, did you just
28:02
Speaker 1: write for the most detailed books in the world without
28:06
Speaker 1: any classified documents. It can be done.
28:08
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, it can be done. But you know, this
28:12
Speaker 10: has been a pattern by Bolton. He has always tried
28:17
Speaker 10: to leverage any position in government he's had for financial
28:23
Speaker 10: profit by writing books. And you know, in this Videla case, yeah,
28:28
Speaker 10: he's presumed innocent. Of course, he's pled not guilty, but
28:32
Speaker 10: you know, it looks like he tried to boost the
28:35
Speaker 10: content by telling secrets, including you know, top secret classified information.
28:42
Speaker 10: The judge warned him about it. The DJ tried to
28:46
Speaker 10: stop the book, and the judge had to let it
28:50
Speaker 10: go because the publisher went ahead and released it while
28:54
Speaker 10: they were litigating it. And the judge warned Bolton, you're
28:57
Speaker 10: gambling with national security and you are exposing yourself to
29:02
Speaker 10: criminal charges. And in fact that's what happened.
29:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would tell you, Greg Jarrety, great legal and
29:09
Speaker 1: let's tay this whole NBA gambling scandal. And looks like
29:13
Speaker 1: there might be an NFL former player and what do
29:16
Speaker 1: you think this is a lot of people are going
29:17
Speaker 1: to go to jail for this, aren't they.
29:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I read the indictment. It is stunning
29:25
Speaker 10: in how blatant the gambling schemes were. So you're talking
29:31
Speaker 10: about extortion, fraud, money laundering, a host of other crimes.
29:35
Speaker 10: You know, Mark, there had long been whispers about corruption
29:40
Speaker 10: in basketball, tanking games, rests on the take, but the
29:47
Speaker 10: scope and breath of the illegal gambling here is truly shocking.
29:53
Speaker 10: More than thirty arrests across the eleven states, involving four
29:58
Speaker 10: major mafia prime families, famous athletes, millions of victims. So
30:06
Speaker 10: I would commend the FBI I for digging into this
30:09
Speaker 10: taking aggressive action to stop it.
30:12
Speaker 1: You know, Charles Barkley I think was right.
30:15
Speaker 10: He got into an argument on television, you know, with
30:20
Speaker 10: another former player, and he said, this is not about addiction.
30:24
Speaker 10: It's about stupidity and greed and avarice and conceit and
30:29
Speaker 10: an utter disdain for the law. And Charles's right. I
30:33
Speaker 10: suspect there are a lot of other sports figures out
30:36
Speaker 10: there who are quite nervous about an imminent knock on
30:40
Speaker 10: the door, and I think there will be a lot
30:43
Speaker 10: of knocks.
30:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, these players are multi, multi multimillionaires, so obviously they
30:49
Speaker 1: weren't in it for the money. What do you think
30:50
Speaker 1: were they being blackmailed or were they some other behavior
30:53
Speaker 1: there's that the mob knew about.
30:56
Speaker 10: You know, it's it's hard to say. I mean, these
30:59
Speaker 10: guys have so much money and they're treated as such
31:03
Speaker 10: superstars and privileged and elite that for them, you know,
31:08
Speaker 10: it's like monopoly money. They're playing a game. You know,
31:11
Speaker 10: can I get away with it? And I mean it's
31:15
Speaker 10: completely stupid. Why would you jeopardize you know, millions of
31:21
Speaker 10: dollars that you have already for you know, what's the
31:27
Speaker 10: equivalent of Nichols and dimes and ruin your reputation, your integrity,
31:31
Speaker 10: your good name. I mean, it's foolhearty and so Charles
31:35
Speaker 10: is right, it's utter stupidity.
31:39
Speaker 1: Well, Greg Jarrett great stuff. You can follow him on
31:42
Speaker 1: Twitter of course, and read his columns Foxnews dot com
31:46
Speaker 1: and you assume all over television. And get his books.
