- 0:00Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means.
- 0:05Speaker 3: Hey, smarts alone on seven tenor.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Hey, well it's a rainy day to day. It's gonna
- 0:14Speaker 2: be like this all day. Don't forget we go off
- 0:17Speaker 2: daylight Saving time Saturday. It's gonna start getting dark like
- 0:20Speaker 2: five point fifteen starting Sunday. Hey, we'll get to the
- 0:23Speaker 2: mayoral race. There have been some changes. We'll get to
- 0:26Speaker 2: that in a moment. We'll get to the World Series.
- 0:28Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump his trip to China. He's
- 0:31Speaker 2: still on the way back. Won't get back here till
- 0:33Speaker 2: about three in the afternoon. We'll get to CBS firing
- 0:37Speaker 2: lots of people, and a whole lot more coming up.
- 0:41Speaker 2: We'll get to Jerome Powell and all of that. So
- 0:43Speaker 2: the mayoral race. Things are changing again, now, I know.
- 0:47Speaker 2: I said that yesterday, and yesterday the news was, according
- 0:50Speaker 2: to the polls that had come out, that Cuomo was
- 0:53Speaker 2: narrowing the gap. Well, according to the polls that have
- 0:57Speaker 2: come out since in the last twenty four hours, the
- 1:00Speaker 2: gap is widening and Mom Donnie is increasing his lead
- 1:05Speaker 2: dramatically over Cuomo. Now you say, well, how could it
- 1:08Speaker 2: flip flop like that. Well, the problem is we haven't
- 1:11Speaker 2: had any real polls ever in this mayoral race. We've
- 1:14Speaker 2: got all these junk polls, these cheap polls, these college polls,
- 1:18Speaker 2: these media polls. They're not very good and they're not
- 1:21Speaker 2: very reliable. But the major polls, the major polling companies,
- 1:25Speaker 2: and the top posters. Normally, the campaigns behind the scenes
- 1:29Speaker 2: bring in the best posters, you know, McLaughlin and Trafalgar,
- 1:33Speaker 2: those kind of guys. They haven't been spending the money.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Nobody's been doing the polling, so we're relying on these
- 1:38Speaker 2: junk poles and again they're not very accurate. But the
- 1:42Speaker 2: latest that have come out in the last twenty four
- 1:44Speaker 2: hours Emerson College poll and a Maris College poll. Again,
- 1:50Speaker 2: these are these these are colleges that are they're too
- 1:53Speaker 2: cheap to have a football team, so to get attention,
- 1:56Speaker 2: they start a polling company and instead of having to
- 1:59Speaker 2: build a football stadium and spend one hundred million on
- 2:02Speaker 2: a football team, you spend a dollar fifty and you
- 2:04Speaker 2: give some students some iPads and you take your polls.
- 2:07Speaker 2: But so they're not very reliable polls. But in one
- 2:11Speaker 2: Mamdanni has increased his lead to sixteen points, forty eight
- 2:15Speaker 2: to thirty two over Cuomo, forty eight to thirty two
- 2:19Speaker 2: over Cuomo. In the other one, Mamdanmi's lead is twenty
- 2:24Speaker 2: five points. He's leading Cuomo fifty to twenty five, fifty
- 2:29Speaker 2: to twenty five. Now and Curtis Lee, well, we he'd
- 2:33Speaker 2: be the best mayor of all the bunch, the best
- 2:36Speaker 2: guy in the race. But he's not. You know this,
- 2:39Speaker 2: Curtis must get out. It's forget that. Forget that. Even
- 2:42Speaker 2: if Curtis is out, it doesn't it doesn't help Cuomo.
- 2:45Speaker 2: He still would be way behind. With Curtis out, Cuomo
- 2:49Speaker 2: would still be behind. Now if you look into the
- 2:53Speaker 2: real detail of the polling, the problem is Cuomo's unfavorability.
- 2:58Speaker 2: His unfavorability is fifty five percent. People don't like him.
- 3:02Speaker 2: They actually can't stand him for the things he did
- 3:06Speaker 2: as governor. He did horrible things as governor. People felt
- 3:09Speaker 2: the effects. He created the crime wave with all his
- 3:12Speaker 2: no bail, no jail and closed the prisons and all
- 3:14Speaker 2: his nonsense. He killed a lot of people's relatives and
- 3:18Speaker 2: nursing homes. He drove their electric bills up, closing Indian Point,
- 3:22Speaker 2: and go on and on he's the guy that picked
- 3:24Speaker 2: Kathy Hochel for us, so a lot of people. The
- 3:28Speaker 2: unfavorability rating on Quomo is just so high, just very
- 3:33Speaker 2: very very high. It's hard to overcome that no matter
- 3:36Speaker 2: who drops out of the race. Now, the other problem
- 3:39Speaker 2: is Mom Donnie's favorability is still very high. His likability
- 3:43Speaker 2: is fifty seven percent in these polls. That's huge, fifty
- 3:49Speaker 2: seven percent likability. Now here's the real problem. To stop
- 3:55Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, it's not about Curtis getting out of the race.
- 3:57Speaker 2: To stop Mondannie. And John McLaughlin told assist in the beginning,
- 4:00Speaker 2: and he's a real expert on this stuff. To stop Mondanni,
- 4:04Speaker 2: you needed the big, big, big, big donors to put
- 4:08Speaker 2: the money into these super packs, and the superpacks needed
- 4:12Speaker 2: to run ads around the clock everywhere TV, social media, everywhere,
- 4:16Speaker 2: bombard people with these ads exposing every bad thing about
- 4:20Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, all the bad video, all the bad things
- 4:23Speaker 2: he said, all the stuff. They had to see these
- 4:26Speaker 2: ads around the clock for weeks. Well, that's normally what happens,
- 4:31Speaker 2: but in this case, the big donors didn't do it.
- 4:33Speaker 2: They were afraid to do it. They were afraid because
- 4:35Speaker 2: your name will be attached to that pack. You can
- 4:38Speaker 2: trace the contributors, and they didn't want to offend Mom Donnie.
- 4:42Speaker 2: They were worried he would win and they wanted to
- 4:44Speaker 2: have a good relationship with him. So the big donors
- 4:47Speaker 2: failed you in this race by not funding those super packs,
- 4:51Speaker 2: those packs that would have run all the ads. And
- 4:55Speaker 2: that's the real problem. Mike Bloomberg has jumped in at
- 4:59Speaker 2: the last moment yesterday, late yesterday announcing he's endorsing Cuomo.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Now you might say, didn't he do that two months ago? Yes,
- 5:09Speaker 2: but he's doing it again, second endorsement a Cuomo. He
- 5:13Speaker 2: also kicked in one point five million to the campaign.
- 5:16Speaker 2: He wrote a check to Cuomo for one point five
- 5:19Speaker 2: million for his campaign yesterday. Now, some people will tell you,
- 5:23Speaker 2: people who know Bloomberg will say, well, you know, he's
- 5:26Speaker 2: very meticulous with the data. He studies data, so he
- 5:31Speaker 2: obviously saw that Cuomo had a chance, and that's why
- 5:35Speaker 2: he jumped in with the one point five million. But
- 5:39Speaker 2: there are other people that know Bloomberg that will tell
- 5:42Speaker 2: you one point five million is like a quarter for us,
- 5:46Speaker 2: It's like nothing, it's a It's a very low contribution
- 5:50Speaker 2: from him. So they didn't they interpret that that he
- 5:54Speaker 2: doesn't think Clonoma was gonna win. He doesn't want to
- 5:56Speaker 2: waste ten million on this. So the fact that it's
- 5:58Speaker 2: a low amount by Bloomberg standards might mean that he's
- 6:02Speaker 2: not too confident in Cuomo. Now, don't listen to anybody
- 6:05Speaker 2: who gives you this anecdotal evidence. You know, people will
- 6:09Speaker 2: tell you everywhere I look, there's yard signs, it doesn't
- 6:12Speaker 2: mean anything. It's anecdotal. Or hey, I went to the
- 6:15Speaker 2: poll and it was the longest line. Well that's just
- 6:17Speaker 2: one polling place. Doesn't mean anything. But we do know
- 6:20Speaker 2: for a fact that voter turnout in the early voting
- 6:23Speaker 2: is huge. It's still every day about five hundred percent
- 6:27Speaker 2: more than normal. It's like five times normal. Now some
- 6:30Speaker 2: think that will help Cuomo. Some think that Mamdani has
- 6:36Speaker 2: energized his crazy lunatic left wing base and they're coming
- 6:41Speaker 2: out like crazy. But it is high. It is very,
- 6:45Speaker 2: very very high. If the turnout, which normally is you know,
- 6:50Speaker 2: the blogs you will get elected with Amfagoto, was twenty
- 6:53Speaker 2: three percent turnout something like that, and we've had these
- 6:56Speaker 2: elections twenty two percent turnout, twenty eight percent. But in
- 6:59Speaker 2: the good old day when Rudy got elected. You had
- 7:02Speaker 2: to turn out like a seventy eight percent. If we
- 7:05Speaker 2: can get back to that, that could change things. And
- 7:07Speaker 2: it looks like we're headed that way with huge, huge,
- 7:10Speaker 2: huge voter turnout. Now there's video coming out. You know
- 7:14Speaker 2: you've seen these eclipse of Mam Donnie said something horrible.
- 7:18Speaker 2: A year ago, he said something disgusting. Two years ago,
- 7:21Speaker 2: he said something anti Israel, anti Semitic. Three years ago,
- 7:24Speaker 2: you see these all the time, said something bad about America,
- 7:29Speaker 2: something like you've seen these clips all along. There's a
- 7:32Speaker 2: new batch of mom Donnie from years ago. He was
- 7:35Speaker 2: speaking at rallies back then, not to run from mayor.
- 7:39Speaker 2: He was a new assemblyman, but he was running around
- 7:41Speaker 2: speaking at these anti Semitic, crazy left wing, awful rallies.
- 7:45Speaker 2: And he wasn't dressed like he's dressed now. He wasn't
- 7:49Speaker 2: in a suit and tie. He was dressed like in
- 7:51Speaker 2: protester garb, dressed like a protester, hair was much longer, scragglier,
- 7:57Speaker 2: but again, dressed like a protester and screaming, not the
- 8:00Speaker 2: polished delivery he's using now. Screaming and a lot of
- 8:04Speaker 2: his anti Semitic defund Israel, yelling and screaming about Israel.
- 8:10Speaker 2: But it's ugly stuff. It's really ugly stuff. So there's
- 8:13Speaker 2: piles of that video that we never saw before now
- 8:16Speaker 2: coming out in the New York Post has a big
- 8:19Speaker 2: story on it today. You'll start sing it tonight on TV.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Some of this video from these rallies. I don't know
- 8:25Speaker 2: if it changes anything. We've already seen bad stuff from
- 8:28Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. Everybody's aware of his past comments and all
- 8:31Speaker 2: the crazy stuff. So I don't know if it changes anything.
- 8:34Speaker 2: And it's way too late to really make a difference
- 8:37Speaker 2: in anything. So again, I can't tell you what to believe.
- 8:41Speaker 2: These polls show an absolute total victory, maybe even a
- 8:47Speaker 2: landslide from Mom Donnie. And again, it has nothing to
- 8:49Speaker 2: do with Curtis. You can yell and scream. The Curtis
- 8:52Speaker 2: has to get other race. It's not going to help
- 8:54Speaker 2: Cuomo in any way. According to all these poles, and
- 8:57Speaker 2: again they're all junk poles. You can't rely on them
- 9:00Speaker 2: too much. But we'll keep on it for you. We'll
- 9:03Speaker 2: get back to the mayoral race. President Trump successful meeting
- 9:07Speaker 2: with President she in China. It went for hours. We
- 9:13Speaker 2: seem to have gotten everything we need. We got the
- 9:15Speaker 2: trade deal, we got the fentanyl deal, we got the
- 9:18Speaker 2: deal for them to buy our soybeans, we got the
- 9:21Speaker 2: deal for the chips, we got the AI deal. Now,
- 9:23Speaker 2: a lot of people will point out, you can make
- 9:26Speaker 2: these deals with China, we have in the past. President
- 9:29Speaker 2: Trump did in his first term, and they just don't
- 9:31Speaker 2: stick to him. So it might be great that we
- 9:34Speaker 2: got all these deals, but again they don't really stick
- 9:37Speaker 2: to it. So I don't really know what it means.
- 9:40Speaker 2: But things went very well. They went as well as
- 9:42Speaker 2: they could go considering and they's just check. Yes, stock market
- 9:46Speaker 2: up two hundred points, so obviously Wall Street happy with
- 9:49Speaker 2: these deals. It looked pretty good. The President is flying back.
- 9:53Speaker 2: You know, it's a hell of a long flight. It's
- 9:56Speaker 2: an amazing and long flight to come back from Korea China.
- 10:01Speaker 2: So he'll be on the plane eighteen hours, twenty hours,
- 10:03Speaker 2: whatever the hell it is. He's going to land today
- 10:05Speaker 2: at three o'clock. He'll be back at three o'clock. He'll
- 10:09Speaker 2: get to the White House about three thirty. At five o'clock.
- 10:13Speaker 2: He's got a Halloween party he's hosting. I don't know
- 10:15Speaker 2: why they're doing it tonight. But tonight's the big Halloween
- 10:17Speaker 2: White House party. So he makes this five country trip,
- 10:22Speaker 2: he flies to nine thousand places, he comes back for
- 10:25Speaker 2: twenty hours on the plane, and then he's going to
- 10:27Speaker 2: go right off the plane to a Halloween party and
- 10:29Speaker 2: host it. Now, contrast that with Joe Biden. Remember once
- 10:33Speaker 2: in a while, once a year, Joe Biden would make
- 10:35Speaker 2: some sort of European trip and after the trip, you
- 10:38Speaker 2: wouldn't see him for three weeks. He'd be bedridden for
- 10:41Speaker 2: three weeks just to recover from the trip. So what
- 10:44Speaker 2: a difference. The shutdown continues, Chuck Schumer, the King of shutdowns,
- 10:50Speaker 2: Mister shutdown, Chuck Schumer.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Right now we're staring down the barrel at two crises
- 10:55Speaker 3: at once, a healthcare crisis and a hunger crisis, and
- 10:59Speaker 3: both are caused by one man, Donald Trump.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Which doesn't make any sense if you look at a situation.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Thirteen times they've put it up to a vote. Let's
- 11:08Speaker 2: reopen the government. Everybody will get all their benefits. Let's
- 11:12Speaker 2: reopen for whatever it was, seven weeks, ten weeks, and
- 11:14Speaker 2: give us a chance to negotiate. Every single time Schumer
- 11:18Speaker 2: had the Democrats voted down thirteen times. They voted it
- 11:21Speaker 2: down over and over. They just keep voting it down.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Speaker Mike Johnson.
- 11:25Speaker 1: We pray the Senate Democrats come to their senses before
- 11:27Speaker 1: the situation becomes too dire. On Saturday, this gets very real.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Yes Saturday, the Snap benefits the forty two million on
- 11:37Speaker 2: food stamps, Now what normally would happen. Forty two million
- 11:41Speaker 2: on foodstamps don't get their benefits. A lot of local
- 11:44Speaker 2: food banks and those sort of charities would step in
- 11:48Speaker 2: and help them and get them what they need to
- 11:51Speaker 2: get through this. We're hearing reports that many food banks
- 11:55Speaker 2: and charities are going to withhold that because they think
- 12:00Speaker 2: it would help Trump. You know, there are a lot
- 12:02Speaker 2: of left wing crazy people running these charities. They don't
- 12:06Speaker 2: want to help Trump, so they're going to withhold doing anything.
- 12:08Speaker 2: So they will try to starve people just because of
- 12:12Speaker 2: their Trump arrangement syndrome.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Or air traffic controllers and TSA agents and park rangers
- 12:17Speaker 1: are about to go without a paycheck. You've got families
- 12:20Speaker 1: and children that rely upon Snap benefits that are going
- 12:24Speaker 1: to go hungry here at the end of the week.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Now with the air traffic controllers we're not up to
- 12:30Speaker 2: full speed. There's a lot of delays. If you go
- 12:33Speaker 2: to the airport, look up at that big board, like
- 12:35Speaker 2: seventy five eighty percent of the flights are delayed. There's
- 12:37Speaker 2: been some ground steps. This is due to the shutdown,
- 12:40Speaker 2: not enough air traffic controllers. Now the Senate is taking
- 12:44Speaker 2: time off now tomorrow they're all flying home. All these
- 12:47Speaker 2: senators are flying home, so they'll have to go through
- 12:49Speaker 2: the airports and deal with the shutdown. Slow down at
- 12:54Speaker 2: the airports. It's now going to personally affect all of
- 12:57Speaker 2: them this weekend. So let's see if that motivates them
- 13:01Speaker 2: in any way. We don't have the clips that you
- 13:05Speaker 2: heard Schumer speaking. He then took questions from reporters and
- 13:08Speaker 2: he lost his cool. He started yelling and screaming at
- 13:11Speaker 2: the reporters, a sign I think that he's just ridiculously frustrated,
- 13:18Speaker 2: not about the shutdown, but he knows it's the end
- 13:20Speaker 2: of the line for him. He knows he's finished as
- 13:23Speaker 2: a politician, and he just made a mess of his
- 13:27Speaker 2: own career. I mean a hell of a career, but
- 13:29Speaker 2: in these last couple of years, he's just made a
- 13:31Speaker 2: mess of things. He's been a disaster as a leader.
- 13:35Speaker 2: You know, when he yells and screams about forty two
- 13:36Speaker 2: million on food stamps. People hear that and they say,
- 13:39Speaker 2: why are forty two million on food stamps? That's like
- 13:43Speaker 2: a monument to the bad leadership of Chuck Schumer. Forty
- 13:47Speaker 2: two millionaire in food stamps. So Anywa're got a lot
- 13:51Speaker 2: to get to. Hey, Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I
- 13:54Speaker 2: don't know what to do about this. Should you not
- 13:56Speaker 2: ever buy Ben and Jerry's ever again? They don't own
- 13:59Speaker 2: it anymore. It was bought by Unilever, a big company,
- 14:03Speaker 2: and Unilever's okay, But this Ben and Jerry, these are
- 14:06Speaker 2: two crazy, nutjob left wing kooks. They wanted. They're in
- 14:10Speaker 2: a big fight with Unilever. Ben and Jerry now opening
- 14:13Speaker 2: their own ice cream company called Magnum ice Cream Company.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Here's what the fight was about. Ben and Jerry wanted
- 14:21Speaker 2: to launch Palestinian themed ice cream. Palestinian themed ice cream.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Unilever said no. Ben and Jerry got all crazy and
- 14:33Speaker 2: opened their own company. They're gonna make it. It's a
- 14:35Speaker 2: watermelon flavored ice cream. Now you might be saying watermelon
- 14:41Speaker 2: ice cream, Well, there's a reason for that I didn't
- 14:44Speaker 2: know this. Watermelons the symbol of Palestinian solidarity, appearing on
- 14:49Speaker 2: signs at protests in social media comments because the fruits red, green, black,
- 14:56Speaker 2: and white colors matched those on the Palestinian flags. If
- 15:00Speaker 2: you ever hear of a Magnum ice cream company, stay
- 15:03Speaker 2: the hell away. It's Ben and Jerry with their Palestinian
- 15:08Speaker 2: ice cream. Liberal nutjobs will all go crazy buying it,
- 15:12Speaker 2: but they'll then get the punishment. You're gonna have to
- 15:16Speaker 2: eat watermelon ice cream anyway. We'll take some calls in
- 15:19Speaker 2: a minute. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
- 15:23Speaker 2: is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
- 15:27Speaker 2: ten
