• 0:11
  Speaker 1: off on a long weekend. Former New York City TV
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: news anchor Camerasata n And I was the morning in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Midday TV news anchor for twenty years, Hey on Channel seven.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I did the same thing over in Channel five before that.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: These days, I host a daily show. It's a New
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Jersey based news channel that I'm on. It's called on
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: New Jersey appropriate right. You could stream it live or
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you could watch the rerun of our shows at ONNJ
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: dot com on New Jersey ONNJ dot com. I also

  Speaker 1: run a food website for all new foodies. It's called

  Speaker 1: all over the world. It's free and it is at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Thefooddude dot us. Good to be here with you. We
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today to wrap up
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the busy newsweek, but we want to hear from you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: The phone lines are open one to eight hundred three
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven to ten. Massive flooding in New
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: York and the tri State yesterday did you get caught
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in any of that? Man? Oh man, the wind, the storm,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it was like a nor'easter, but it wasn't. I guess
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: officially it wasn't a nor' easter, but nonetheless a huge front.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We had one to three inches of rain, depending on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: where you were. But some of the low lying areas,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like we know southern Brooklyn, the coastal areas, they were
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: under feet of standing water and people in basement apartments
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: got really flooded. At least two people have died that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we know of, so our prayers for them. Just awful,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: awful rain. And speaking of awful rain, awful news. In Jamaica,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Hurricane Melissa causing at least fifty nine deaths that we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: know of so far, because it's possible that as they
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: get through all the destruction, the devastation, they may find
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: more people. Just widespread destruction. A mother talks about how
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: she's helping her children through the disaster. I tried to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: be strong with them, and what deep inside I'm crying.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I'm really really crying. What your slight hid it. We
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: will survive, we will survive, we will survey it. Amen
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to you, and I mean amen to that. Just an
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: awful storm that was a Cat five Category five hitting
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Jamaica at one hundred and eighty five miles an hour.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's ranked the worst, if not one
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of the worst storms to hit Landfall in terms of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: power in the Atlantic. It's just amazing. Back at home,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the mayor's race continues to tighten. But is it too little,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: too late? Here were the three candidates at a recent debate.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I am the last person on this stage that mister
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Trump wants to see as mayor.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I am Donald Trump's worst nightmare, as a progressive Muslim
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: immigrant who actually fights for the things that I believe in.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, if you believe Andrew Como, who's calling up Trump
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: all the time, I'm going to stand up to him
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and Doammy. I'm going to stand up to him. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: stand up to President Trump, who controls all the money.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Guess what we the citizens lose now. Andrew Cuomo was
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on with Larry Minty on MENTI in the Morning today.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He recently received an infusion of some cash one and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a half million dollars from former mayor and billionaire Michael
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg through a political action committee. The question, again, is
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is it too little, too late Now, three polls were
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: released this week and they show the Cuomo has improved
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: his chances, but that was only four days to go,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so it looks like it's going to take a miracle
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at this point. The closest poll is I guess the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Quinnipiac University poll, and that one is showing Cuomo within
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: ten points of mamdanni. And while lot's of nice improvement,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you remember, it only takes one vote, that's it. If
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: mam'm donnie has one more vote than the next person,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that's it. There's an Emerson College poll that has mam
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: donni twenty five points ahead of Cuomo, and the Marist
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: poll has mum donnie sixteen points ahead. So I don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: mean to be the negative Nelly here, but I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: see how it gets pulled off. Nonetheless, you never know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: because not everybody goes voting for mayor. You have a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people who sit it out, go and vote.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You may surprise yourself and everybody and change things. So
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. By the way, recent survey
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: shows that that get this, sixty nine percent of anyone
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: under the age of fifty in New York supports mam
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: donni yeah. Let me let me repeat that. Sixty nine percent,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: so nearly seven and ten of all New Yorkers under
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the age fifty and under. Now it's not twenty an
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: under or thirty and under fifty an under, as I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: like to say, they should know better by then they
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: support Mam Donnie. So at this point, all you on
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the right, I say we should sit back, get a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: bag of popcorn, and watch as New York implodes with
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: liberalism and socialism because it doesn't work. It has failed everywhere,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's been tried. Everything that Mamdanni wants to give you free, free, free,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: free has to get paid for by someone from somewhere,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and that money doesn't exist. And you can't have rent
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: control you know where he comes in, it takes over
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and freezes rent. That is done by the rent Control Board.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That's state law. You can't just come in and say,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: well I'll sign a mayoral proclamation. Well good luck with that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It's not enforceable. So this is going to be interesting
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to see. And by the way, everybody was like, yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we should freeze the rent. Yeah, I wish we could.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: The problem is the city keeps imposing all these rules
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: on landlords, so they have to maintain their buildings, which
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is fine and they should, but that costs money. It
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: costs millions of dollars. People have this misconception that every
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: landlord is a billionaire sitting back counting their money, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that's not always the case. In many cases, it's people
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: who inherit a building from a relative or whatever, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: now they have to maintain it or they have to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: distress sell it. In the meantime, the city comes in,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it says you owe taxes, you have to keep it heated.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: If there's anything that breaks down, you got to fix
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it immediately. There are all these rules and rags. So yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: while there are some landlords who are very wealthy, many
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: are not. So don't don't paint with such a broad brushes.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying seven ten wo R The Voice of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: New York. It's Ken rozottow In from Mark HALLOUWENI Friday.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: What are you dressing up as today? Phone lines are
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: open eight hundred and three to two, one zero, seven
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to ten. There's a New Manhattan Institute poll that shows
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it if Congresswoman Elise Stephanic from upstate New York. If
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Elise were to run against Kathy Hochel for Governor of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: New York. Stephanic would beat her right now by one point.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: New York City may be blue, but the state is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: definitely purple. So while poles are just a momentary snapshot
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of opinion, it does show you that New York State
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is very much up for grabs and the citizens are
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just fed up with the status quo. Flip over to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the garden state, New Jersey. It's a whole different story.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Two poles two days apart have Mikey, Cheryl and Jack
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Chiarelli a point apart, well within the margin of error.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: This was him last night, by the way, during a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: town hall that Sean Hannity had with Fox News Channel. Listen.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: As he entered the room, let's go.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Hometown crowd, hometown crowd, it just became, it just became
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a Trump rally.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: To that, Chitterrelly responded, No, it's a Chitterrelly rally, which
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I thought was kind of interesting. Guy that left a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: little silence in the room. Jackson, nice man. I've interviewed
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: him myself on my show several times and here actually
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: had him on here once while I filled in for
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I guess no, while yeah, I filled in for Larry
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that day. Hard to keep track, but he's a great guy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: We've invited Mikey Cheryl on this show when I'm in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: filling in. We've invited her on the show I do
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey probably fifty times. You actually get, let's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: just say, a negative response. They want nothing to do
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: with with having her talk to media of any kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: except for MSNBC, where they feel they'll have a friendly audience.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That's it. So we'll see what happens. You know, you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: have till Tuesday. Early voting in New Jersey is through
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this Sunday, so you can go and early vote till Sunday.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Otherwise Monday there is no voting Tuesday. You vote in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: person and that's that. Then we'll I think Tuesday night's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: going to be a very very late night. When asked
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: about the polls, Jack Chidarelli had this to say, especially
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the early returns.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Our internal polling in twenty one, said that we had
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a real shot this time. The internal polling says a
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: whole lot better. But listen, all I could tell is
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: wherever I go around the state, the energy is electric.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The reception of minority communities has been overwhelming positive and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: when Democratic mayors across the state are endorsing in the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Republican nominee. It tells you we're on the summer.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So there are four people in New Jersey who
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: either are still Democrat and endorsed him, or are These
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: are council members and mayors or actually left a Democrat
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: party altogether and joined the Republican Party and endorsed and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: support him right now. So all the police unions are
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: all behind in the fire departments, they're all in support
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of Jack Cheddarelli. When I said the early early polling
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: or early results, what I meant was the early voting
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that occurred. Jack talked about the early ballots.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We've seen the greatest number of Republicans returned vote by
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: mail ballots. That's a very very good sign. And they
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: went out in last third week of September, and we're
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: matching them voter for voter here in the six days
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: or five days of early voting that we've had thus far.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: That'll conclude on Sunday. Listen, if we go into election
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: day within a certain number of points, we're going to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: win this thing.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And now, just because a larger number of Republicans return ballots,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean every single Republican is going to support
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the Republican candidate. I many chances are they will, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you never know. So same thing for the Democrat.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Just because they were talking about, oh, Mikey Cheryl is
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: edging out Cheddarelli in terms of a return of the ballots,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: we've got more Cheryl or more Democrat ballots coming in. Again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they're all voting for Mikey Cheryl.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: If they're all Democrats sending their ballots in, it could
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: go the other way. But overall, generally speaking, probably ninety
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: five percent or more will support their respective candidates and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: their respective parties. Now, one thing I find that's interesting
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: if you go back four years this week exactly one
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: week actually before election day, four years ago, so a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: little under four years ago, there was a Monmouth University
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: poll that had Governor Murphy eleven points ahead of Jack Chittarelli.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: As is typical, all the polls tend to skew to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the left, and they always give a better showing for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: whoever the Democrat is. But so even though the polls
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: showed Murphy was eleven points ahead just days before the election,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he only won by three points, so the polls were
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: off by eight. Well, if that holds true today, if
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Chittarelli is behind or ahead, say just by a point,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: or they're tied as the polls are showing right now,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: generally has a real shot. He may even win by three,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: four or five points. You never know, but you have
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to have to have to vote. If your parents are
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: elderly and have difficulty getting to the polls, make sure
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: they have a ride. Okay, if you drive and your
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: friends don't, make sure they have a ride. Make sure,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: no matter what, try to early vote if you can.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And if you want to go on election day, then
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: make sure you get there. Don't. I tend to say,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you never know. You could get stuck at work late.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You never know, you may wake up late. I would
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: try to early vote if you can between now and Sunday.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Don't take the chance. But make sure, no matter what,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: whether it's New York City now or New Jersey, get
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: out and vote. And then the other thing I want
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to ask all you folks in Jersey, don't just vote
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for governor and call it a day. You have every
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Assembly seat up for grabs, and there's one Senate seat
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: down south. It's to fill a vacancy. Make sure you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: vote down the ballot, and if you want to send
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a message and you are voting for the Republican candidate
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for governor, vote A lot of people say, yeah, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: vote for Republicans for president and governor, and then I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: vote Democrat for the local offices. Not a good idea.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Not a good idea because you end up causing gridlock.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You've had listen in New Jersey right now. The governor's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, State Assembly, state Senate, the Supreme Court all
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Democrat control, all of them. You have the top fifteen
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: cities in New Jersey run by Democrat mayor's Democrat administrations.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: The top fifteen all right in New Jersey goes only
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: about nine and a half million people. You have both
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: US Senate seats occupied by Democrats, and you have nine
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of the twelve Congress seats US Congress seats that are
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: occupied by Democrats. So you've already given Democrats a shot.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And New Jersey has the highest the energy builds in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the nation, some of the highest taxes, the highest cost
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: for pupil with not always the greatest return depending on
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: what district we're talking about. So if you are tired
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of the expences and the regulation and allowing adult men
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in girls' bathrooms because they wake up thinking they're women. Enough.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: If you're tired of the sanctuary state and sanctuary city
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: status of New Jersey, stop voting Democrat. It's as simple
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: as that. It's like the definition of insanity. You keep
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: different outcome. Not get off try something different for once.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I was reading some of the blogs last night. It's
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: amazing how many people who were complaining about the cost
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of energy and the cost of taxes and homes and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: everything else, and they were saying, but vote blue. What
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: are you expecting to change? What do you think is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: suddenly Mikey Cheryl is just a different person, And all
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the people running for Assembly on the left are different,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: They're all the same. Mikey Cheryl supported everything, Joe Biden
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: put up everything. So don't expect the difference if you
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: keep voting Democrat. Now. The Democrat shutdown is on day
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: thirty one. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the Democrats
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: seemingly never wanted to end. It was also a disturbing
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: signal the Democrats are way to continue this shut down.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I guess forever.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Well, there may be a solution. President Trump is suggesting
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the Senate use the so called nuclear option. So right now,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: when you have a spending plan that goes from the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: House to the Senate, and it has to go in
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that direction, it starts in the House, then a spending
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: plan goes to the Senate, the Senate must pass any
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: spending plan with sixty votes, okay, otherwise you could have
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a filibuster. So you need at least sixty votes. Republicans
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: only have fifty three members of the Senate, so you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: need those Democrats to help. Now. Right now, a couple
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of Democrats have come across, but there are still five short,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: so they need five more Democrats to make this happen.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: All we're talking about is a continuing resolution, not a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: spending plan. The continuing resolution would simply continue the spending
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: plan passed last year. That was Biden's spending plan passed
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: by Democrats. And all the Republicans are asking is you
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: continue it for four more weeks, But the Democrats don't
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: want to do it. Chuck Schuma got to put my
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: glasses at the tip of my nose when I say
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: his name to get in the mood. Chuck Schuma is
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: saying that no, we will not budge. Okay, Now tomorrow
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you will have forty two million Americans not receiving Snap benefits,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: so no food stamps. People are going to rely on
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: soup kitchens and whatnot, thanks to the Democrats. Because every Republican,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I think one, only one Republican in the Senate is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not voting for this. Everyone else has voted for this.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So it's the Democrats. This is the Democrat government shutdown,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the Schumer shutdown. Don't let them tell you otherwise, because
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: every Republican is trying to reopen the government right now.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Even CNN is showing that Americans believe this is the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: fault of the Democrats. President Trump's approval writing has actually
• 15:43
