Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: NOWR presents no Mark Simon Shaw. Hey, this is a
- 0:09Speaker 1: big week, This is election week. It'll get decided probably
- 0:14Speaker 1: this week. Anyway, we'll get to that. We'll get to
- 0:17Speaker 1: ballroom derangement syndrome, Liberals melting down another thing they're going
- 0:22Speaker 1: crazy over they they're noticing changes at CBS and they're
- 0:26Speaker 1: going nuts over that. We'll get to New Jersey, the
- 0:29Speaker 1: race for governor, and a whole lot more coming up.
- 0:33Speaker 1: So early voting began Saturday. This is it's different nowadays.
- 0:40Speaker 1: It's no longer election Day. It's election month practically, so
- 0:45Speaker 1: election Early voting began Saturday with record turnout, all time
- 0:50Speaker 1: record turnout this weekend. Just on Saturday, it was five
- 0:55Speaker 1: more than normal turnout, five times the normal turnout on Saturday.
- 1:02Speaker 1: And it was happening all over the place. Manhattan record turnout,
- 1:05Speaker 1: Brooklyn record turnout, Queens Staten Island, everywhere, all time record turnout.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Now here's the problem for Republicans in New York City.
- 1:18Speaker 1: There are three and a half million registered Democrats. This
- 1:23Speaker 1: is out of all the registered voters, three and a
- 1:25Speaker 1: half million are Democrats. There's six hundred thousand registered Republicans.
- 1:32Speaker 1: That's it. Three and a half million to six hundred thousand.
- 1:37Speaker 1: It's not good. Now there's one point two million Independence
- 1:41Speaker 1: registered one point two million. So usually you can sort
- 1:46Speaker 1: of read something into very high turnout, you can't do
- 1:49Speaker 1: it this time. Nobody's sure exactly what this high turnout means.
- 1:53Speaker 1: It could mean record numbers of Democrats, especially younger people demographics.
- 1:59Speaker 1: They've noticed a lot of younger people voting, so it
- 2:01Speaker 1: could be the crazy gen X socialist loving voters turning
- 2:05Speaker 1: out in record numbers. They are getting an increase in
- 2:09Speaker 1: older voters. Those tend to go Democrat, you know, common
- 2:13Speaker 1: sense Democrat, like a Cuomo or a Curtis. Nobody knows
- 2:17Speaker 1: for sure. There is anecdotal evidence that some Curtis voters
- 2:21Speaker 1: are peeling off and going to Cuomo. They don't like Cuomo,
- 2:25Speaker 1: they just think he's the one with the chance. Right now,
- 2:28Speaker 1: there's only one pole in public. You see all these
- 2:31Speaker 1: junk polls, in these college polls that aren't very good.
- 2:35Speaker 1: But there's one poll which is a pretty good poll.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It's the only one that took place after the second debate.
- 2:42Speaker 1: In that poll, it shows if it were a one
- 2:45Speaker 1: on one race that Cuomo would still lose by ten points,
- 2:51Speaker 1: but it also showed that if we were just Curtis
- 2:55Speaker 1: versus Mondammie, Curtis would only lose by eight points, so
- 2:58Speaker 1: he actually does better than Cuomo. You know, one on
- 3:01Speaker 1: one race. But we're not going to get that one
- 3:03Speaker 1: on one race. It's too late. It's not going to happen.
- 3:06Speaker 1: And a lot of the voting has already taken place,
- 3:08Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen. No one's positive there are Again,
- 3:13Speaker 1: there's anecdotal evidence of some voters peeling away from Curtis
- 3:18Speaker 1: to go to Cuomo, who they can't stand. They just
- 3:21Speaker 1: think he's got a better shot. And there's some supporters.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Dove Hiken, one of Curtis's big supporters, changed to Andrew
- 3:29Speaker 1: Cuomo over the weekend. He's not a Cuomo fan. He's
- 3:34Speaker 1: had issues with Cuomo over the years and even said
- 3:36Speaker 1: he's not a good guy, but he'll take him over
- 3:39Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, and he said, I have nothing but good
- 3:41Speaker 1: things to say about Curtis, but I'm just not sure
- 3:43Speaker 1: at this point he can win. We'll take a look
- 3:46Speaker 1: at that later in the program with one of the
- 3:49Speaker 1: great polsters who thinks Curtis actually can win. But we'll
- 3:51Speaker 1: get to that a little later. David Patterson is going
- 3:56Speaker 1: to make an endorsement today of Andrew Cuomo. Now we
- 4:00Speaker 1: love Patterson. He's a great, great guy, very smart guy.
- 4:03Speaker 1: The only problem is he's endorsed four people already. He's
- 4:05Speaker 1: endorsed Adams, He's endorsed He's gone back and forth a lot.
- 4:08Speaker 1: But later today he'll endorse Cuomo. A lot of people,
- 4:13Speaker 1: and privately they'll tell you that they can't stand Cuomo
- 4:16Speaker 1: and they know he was a bad governor and did
- 4:18Speaker 1: a lot of horrible, horrible things. The no bail, no jail, closing,
- 4:22Speaker 1: the prisons, Immy can go on and on and on,
- 4:25Speaker 1: the nursing homes, but they just don't want Mom Donnie. Now, well,
- 4:31Speaker 1: what about all the big donors, the big big money guy,
- 4:34Speaker 1: what about the Wall Street guys. You know, they're all
- 4:36Speaker 1: talking publicly about Cuomo. We got to get behind Cuomo.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But quietly, behind the scenes, they're all meeting with Mom Donnie.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Wall Street is getting ready for him. They here's one
- 4:48Speaker 1: of them. Off the record. You know, publicly they'll tell
- 4:50Speaker 1: you got to get behind Clomo. Off the record, privately,
- 4:53Speaker 1: he's just not likable. Sliwa is actually much more likable.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It's really sad. Now again they are meeting with Mom Donnie.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Meetings are taking place all the time. There's this partnership
- 5:10Speaker 1: for New York City, This overpaid Catherine Wilde runs this thing.
- 5:15Speaker 1: But that's her. She's like a fixer for all of
- 5:18Speaker 1: this stuff. So she's been arranging meetings between all these
- 5:21Speaker 1: guys and Mom Donnie Bloomberg has been one of the participants.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So they're all meeting with Mom Donnie. Now I don't
- 5:26Speaker 1: know what I haven't heard yet what goes on in
- 5:28Speaker 1: these little meet and greet sessions with Deblasio. He was
- 5:34Speaker 1: pretty good with these big, big, big donors. He let
- 5:36Speaker 1: him know right away, you know, whatever you need, call me.
- 5:38Speaker 1: In fact, when he would meet the big zillionaire, first
- 5:41Speaker 1: thing he would say to me, you have my cell number? Right, No, well,
- 5:44Speaker 1: let me give you my cell number. Now they know
- 5:46Speaker 1: what that means, you call this anytime you need something.
- 5:50Speaker 1: And they also know it means they're gonna get calls
- 5:51Speaker 1: all the time for donations. But they're okay with that.
- 5:54Speaker 1: That's fine. So what if Mom Donni were to win, Well,
- 6:01Speaker 1: there's still two ways to stop him. One, there are
- 6:06Speaker 1: several groups investigating the money that has flowed into him.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Tons of millions, tens of millions have flown into Mamdani
- 6:13Speaker 1: for this campaign. We know many millions, about four or
- 6:17Speaker 1: five million came from Soros through a million other organizations,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and there's a lot of that type of money. But
- 6:24Speaker 1: it's believed there's a lot of foreign money. They've already
- 6:26Speaker 1: found traces of money from China, the Middle East, all
- 6:29Speaker 1: sorts of places flowing in. If they can prove it
- 6:31Speaker 1: went to the campaign or to the candidate, or the
- 6:34Speaker 1: candidate knew about the foreign donations, they can remove him
- 6:38Speaker 1: as mayor. They can take him out of the race.
- 6:40Speaker 1: So if he wins a week from tomorrow, it's still
- 6:43Speaker 1: possible that he could be removed. It's a long shot,
- 6:46Speaker 1: but it's possible. An even longer shot. In Congress, they're
- 6:51Speaker 1: looking at to review Mam Donnie's citizenship and possibly strip
- 6:55Speaker 1: him of his citizenship, and they do this with a
- 6:58Speaker 1: lot of people. They go over there documents. If you
- 7:01Speaker 1: lied about anything, if you didn't declare that you were
- 7:04Speaker 1: a member of or affiliated with any communist or totalitarian party,
- 7:09Speaker 1: your citizenship application can be voided. You can't lie on
- 7:12Speaker 1: that application. So they're going over everything very carefully to
- 7:17Speaker 1: see if they can remove his citizenship. Now this is
- 7:20Speaker 1: a real long shot, but if he didn't declare all
- 7:24Speaker 1: the organizations that he was a part of or any
- 7:26Speaker 1: of that, or hid anything, they can take a citizenship
- 7:29Speaker 1: and then he can't be mayor. Now, one thing you
- 7:32Speaker 1: got to remember besides the mayoral race. It may be
- 7:35Speaker 1: hopeless at this point, but you got to get out there,
- 7:38Speaker 1: especially in Manhattan, and vote for some other people. The
- 7:42Speaker 1: district Attorney here in Manhattan is Alvin Bragg, who just
- 7:45Speaker 1: doesn't believe in putting criminals in jail. He lets them out.
- 7:49Speaker 1: First day in office, he put out that infamous memo,
- 7:52Speaker 1: we will not seek carcial sentences. In other words, we
- 7:55Speaker 1: won't put criminals in jail. It was another factor leading
- 7:59Speaker 1: to the crime wave. You can get rid of him
- 8:01Speaker 1: a week from tomorrow. Actually you can start today with
- 8:03Speaker 1: the early voting. You can get rid of him. Vote
- 8:06Speaker 1: for the Republican Maud Maren. She just got the endorsement
- 8:10Speaker 1: from the New York Post. The newspaper endorsements don't mean
- 8:13Speaker 1: much of anything, but you want to vote for her.
- 8:15Speaker 1: She will put criminals in jail. Bragg's conviction rate. Conviction
- 8:21Speaker 1: rate falls every year. It's just tumbling lower and lower
- 8:24Speaker 1: and lower and lower conviction rate. And it's deliberate. And
- 8:28Speaker 1: the other problem is they just reduce charges. If it's
- 8:31Speaker 1: a felony, they reduce it to a misdemeanor and then
- 8:34Speaker 1: there's no jail. They don't seek a prison term. So
- 8:37Speaker 1: you got to get rid of Alvin Bragg, vote for
- 8:39Speaker 1: maud Maren. Also throw out every Democrat on the city council.
- 8:43Speaker 1: That's ther only protection against the Mom Donnie at city
- 8:47Speaker 1: Hall is she'll have a more conservative city council and
- 8:51Speaker 1: they really have more power than the mayor in many,
- 8:54Speaker 1: many things. A Cuomo had one great video. It was
- 8:59Speaker 1: done with a It was a video showing all the
- 9:01Speaker 1: criminals endorsing Mom Donnie and why it was a great video.
- 9:05Speaker 1: You have to see it. It was brilliant. Many political
- 9:08Speaker 1: consultants saying it might be the future of campaign commercials.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It's the greatest campaign commercial of the year. But Mom
- 9:19Speaker 1: Donnie started yelling and screaming, it's racist, it's islamophobic, it's whatever.
- 9:23Speaker 1: He yelled, and Cuomo panicked and removed it. He had
- 9:27Speaker 1: it pulled off the airwaves, which he shouldn't have done.
- 9:29Speaker 1: He should have run it twice as much. But it's
- 9:32Speaker 1: an incredible commercial.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Uh.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Now you got another race going on at the same
- 9:40Speaker 1: time in New Jersey, got Mikey Cheryl versus Jack Chitarelli.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And apparently in the internal polling. The polls you see
- 9:51Speaker 1: in public are pretty much just junk. But the internal polling,
- 9:54Speaker 1: the serious polling, which is being done in New Jersey,
- 9:56Speaker 1: not in New York, but in New Jersey, must show
- 10:00Speaker 1: that Mikey Cheryl's in trouble because Obama was not going
- 10:03Speaker 1: to come in and campaign. He just sent a video
- 10:05Speaker 1: endorsing her. But they must have seen real panic in
- 10:09Speaker 1: those numbers. So Obama is coming into campaign. Obama at rallies,
- 10:13Speaker 1: Obama going after Chittarelly. Come on, when you're standing in
- 10:19Speaker 1: front of the sign itself, stop the seal, and there's
- 10:23Speaker 1: a guy in.
- 10:24Speaker 2: The crowd waving a Confederate flag. You know this isn't
- 10:29Speaker 2: a neighborhood barbecue. You know it's not a leaguer a
- 10:34Speaker 2: women voters rally.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Now that's when Obama knows somebody's in trouble. You know,
- 10:39Speaker 1: normally he speaks so beautifully, so highly educated, he sounds
- 10:42Speaker 1: like Demosthenes when he speaks. But whatever he puts on
- 10:46Speaker 1: that you all voice, that dumb southern voice, that means
- 10:49Speaker 1: there's trouble. He's got to really really work at it.
- 10:51Speaker 1: So rally's going on in New Jersey. Now, speaking of rallies,
- 10:55Speaker 1: this is the other problem. Cuomo sliwa face. Mom Donnie
- 10:58Speaker 1: had a rally this weekend Forest Hill Stadium. Mam Donnie
- 11:02Speaker 1: had a rally with thirteen thousand people. AOC spoke and
- 11:07Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders spoke thirteen thousand people. Now, you know, Cuomo
- 11:15Speaker 1: couldn't get thirteen hundred people to a rally. Now, Curtis
- 11:18Speaker 1: maybe could. Curtis is a very popular guy, and he's
- 11:21Speaker 1: been doing speeches left and right, day and night. Cuomo
- 11:25Speaker 1: does one every couple of weeks. Maybe I mean a
- 11:28Speaker 1: rally kind of a speech, very very light campaigning from Cuomo.
- 11:32Speaker 1: But he could never get thirteen thousand. The fact that
- 11:34Speaker 1: Mam Donnie got thirteen thousand means, you know, if people
- 11:37Speaker 1: will come to a rally, they'll go vote. So this
- 11:40Speaker 1: high high turnout could be could be a sign that
- 11:45Speaker 1: it's his voters causing that high turnout. Here's Cuomo and Mamdonna.
- 11:49Speaker 3: What he is doing is the oldest, dirtiest political trick
- 11:55Speaker 3: in the book. Divide people, divide people, divide people by race,
- 12:03Speaker 3: by religion. New Yorkers won't let you divide them. You
- 12:07Speaker 3: can try to drive as many wedges as you want.
- 12:10Speaker 2: It's not going to work.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all true, but it just doesn't work.
- 12:15Speaker 1: It's not powerful as a campaign issue. They all divide.
- 12:18Speaker 1: You could say Trump divides too. It's not a strong
- 12:20Speaker 1: campaign issue. There's Curtis.
- 12:22Speaker 3: You got to go at these people who embrace terrorism,
- 12:25Speaker 3: like Johann Mandanmi and everyone else out there who doesn't
- 12:28Speaker 3: mind taking a picture with the your mom because he
- 12:31Speaker 3: thinks it's going to get them votes from that Community's
- 12:34Speaker 3: long then, and it's wrong.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Now, well a little better, but this just gives Mandanie
- 12:38Speaker 1: a chance to respond.
- 12:39Speaker 2: This is disgusting. This is Andrew Cuomo's final moments in
- 12:44Speaker 2: public life, and he's choosing to spend them making racist
- 12:48Speaker 2: attacks on the person who would be the first Muslim
- 12:52Speaker 2: to lead the city.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, at this point, it doesn't look good.
- 12:57Speaker 1: It looks like mam Donni's on track to win at
- 12:59Speaker 1: the point. But as horrible as it sounds yet. First
- 13:03Speaker 1: of all, you will get through it just fine. Remember
- 13:06Speaker 1: he can't do ninety eight percent of the stuff he's promising.
- 13:09Speaker 1: He has no power to make the buses free, he
- 13:11Speaker 1: has no power to tax you. He just can't do
- 13:14Speaker 1: most of this stuff. You got through eight years of Deblasio,
- 13:19Speaker 1: you got through Cuomo, who was a real far left governor,
- 13:23Speaker 1: you know, you know, letting criminals out, closing prisons. He
- 13:27Speaker 1: was pretty crazy as governor. But we'll see, we'll see.
- 13:30Speaker 1: It's all about turnout. Get your friends, get your neighbors,
- 13:33Speaker 1: get yourself, get everybody you know out there to vote.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Vote for Curtis or vote for Cuomo. Either one could win.
- 13:39Speaker 1: At this point. Cuomo tends to overpoll. That's another thing
- 13:44Speaker 1: you can remember. Cuomo always overpolls. Could be name recognition or whatever.
- 13:49Speaker 1: But remember the primary he overpolled by like ten points.
- 13:52Speaker 1: It looked like he was an easy win and he
- 13:54Speaker 1: was a huge loss. So and Curtis always tends to underpole.
- 13:59Speaker 1: But it's just a case of turnout, massive turnout. With
- 14:02Speaker 1: Deblasio one it was twenty one percent turnout. Only twenty
- 14:08Speaker 1: one percent turned out. That's it. That's how Deblasio won.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Only twenty percent turned out, twenty one percent. Rudy Giuliani
- 14:17Speaker 1: when he ran the first time about sixty sixty one
- 14:21Speaker 1: percent turnout. So if you get that high turnout, it
- 14:25Speaker 1: can go as high as seventy five It has in
- 14:27Speaker 1: presidential years. So if that happened, and it looks like
- 14:30Speaker 1: we're on track to get that, we'll get fifty percent turnout,
- 14:32Speaker 1: maybe seventy five percent. That can change everything. Hey, we'll
- 14:36Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
- 14:39Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
- 14:43Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten
