  Speaker 1: This is seven tor Boy. The Mark Simoon Show starts now.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's Friday. Tomorrow, the election begins. The mayor all
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: election begins tomorrow. Early voting starts tomorrow and goes for
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: ten days. The election itself is a week from Tuesday.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It's almost here. Andrew Cuomo has picked up steam. He
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: had a good debate performance, which is unusual. He usually
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: is pretty bad in those debates. But some people think
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: he got shot up with some of that Joe Biden injection.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You'll suddenly give him some energy, some speed, and so
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: he was pretty good in that debate. Curtis most just
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: about everybody agrees won the debate. On content, on issues,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Curtis the winner. But but Cuomo energetic for the first time,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: actually able to talk smoothly for the first time. Not great,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: not great to mom Donni. Still a better debater. But
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: since then, Clomo's picked up a little steam. I don't
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: know if it's enough. It may be way too late.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Eric Adams has endorsed Cuomo. Why does Eric Adams suddenly
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: endorse Cuomo? He just five minutes ago was calling him literally,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: called him a snake and a liar. Well, as you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: there were billionaires, zillionaires, big big, big, big money donors,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: trying to help Cuomo like crazy, trying to bribe Curtis
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: out of the race, trying to bribe Eric Adams out
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: of the race. A lot of money being offered to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of people to help Cuomo. And suddenly Adams
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is endorsing Cuomo. I don't know anything, you do the math,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: But there was Eric Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Well, you criticize Andrew and you call them names, you
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: know what, and he called me names. But you know what,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Now it's time to fight for the family. And I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a fight for the family with Andrew Cuomo as the
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: next mayor of the City of New York. I'm fighting
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: for the family of New York. That's why I'm here
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: today to endorse Andrew Cuomo to be part of this fight.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, yeah, I guess that's true. Cuomo
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: did call him names. And the fact that Adams kept
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: calling Cuomo names, called him a snake and a liar.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: That's really not that unusual in politics. It happens all
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the time. I remember George Bush calling Reagan all kinds
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of names in the primary Voodoo Economics all that stuff,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and then when he got chosen as the running mate,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: you forget about all that. It happens all the time,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: all the time, even Trump. You know, when he was
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in the primaries, he was calling Rubio names. Rubio called
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: him names. Same thing with just about everybody in the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in the primary. So you forget all that when it
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: comes time for a general election. But Cuomo, I don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: know he thinks. I don't know how much Eric Adams
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: helps him. He is voting. His numbers were single digits,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: so it's not a lot of votes there. But they
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: stood there. They even hugged each other.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I don't want to thank Mayor Adams for his support,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: but more than for his support, the mayor put his
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: own ambition aside because he cares more about New York City.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I see a little shot at Curtis there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: New Yorker's vote, I win. New Yorkers reject this socialism,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: reject the vision. If New Yorkers vote, I win.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: No, he's back to the slow talking a little. Did
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Curtis Curtis sliwa? We think Curtis would make the best mayor.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa? Did he want adams endorsement?
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: I know they're going to be celebrating today, but when
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: I look at them today too, corrupt birds of a
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: feather flock together.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: They deserve one another. Yeah, no, he didn't want adams endorsement.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: The rough birds of a feather flock to get I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: not worried about that. Anybody who was going to vote
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Ferrick Adams I have to wonder with they've been these
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: last four years because he is the most corrupt man
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: in the history of New York. So, hey, Andrew Cuomo,
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: you can have whatever votes he had. I don't ever
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: want Eric Adams.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Votes now again. Early voting starts tomorrow, so it's just
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: about over. But you know, there's still a week and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a half and they're trying to push Curtis out of
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the race. Those same big money donors. They have this
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: fantasy that if Curtis dropped out, the votes would go
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to Cuomo. Most people think that's ridiculous. Most of these
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: SLIWA voters hate Cuomo. Jimmy Faylor put it best. It
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: said it like, if the Yankees lose and the Red
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Sox win and go on to the World Series, they
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yankee fans don't start rooting for the Red sox just
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't just doesn't work that way. Well, get back to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the mayoral race. Lots to get to there. Leticia James,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: our sleezy, dirty attorney general, is in Virginia right now.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: She's about to go into court this morning. Looks like
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: she will be indicted for mortgage fraud if you look
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: at the documents. We assume the documents are all authentic,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and if they are, it looks like she's pretty guilty
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of mortgage fraud, deceiving the bank. Now when you watch
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the reports, all you hear about is Trump targeting, is targeting,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is political enemies. Uh, when Letitia James was indicting here,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you never heard one person say she's targeting her political enemies.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You never heard the same anchors say that Governor Kathy
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Hogel jumps in to defend Leticia James. You know, there's
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of sleezy deals around the whocal world. That
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: stadium deal, that virus testing deal, a lot of people
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that was really sleezy. She didn't need anybody looking into
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: that and be one reason she's being so supportive of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the attorney general. But here she was defending Letitia James.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The whole bunch of slimy Jerry Nadler type democrats on
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: stage with her.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: If they can do this to an attorney general of
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: a state like New York, heaven.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Helped the rest of us because they can come after anyone.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Well, actually they do all the time. People do get
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: arrested and indicted for this exact same crime, this mortgage fraud.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And this is not like what Trump did. You know
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: what they accused Trump of doing overvaluing his apartment, which
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: first of all, he didn't. If you look now at
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the comparable you know, that's what they do in real estate,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you look at the comparable apartments and what they sold for.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: He was pretty much right with his evaluation. But if
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you look at his case the crime, there was no crime.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: He couldn't possibly have committed a crime because he knew
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the bank knew, everybody knew that whatever evaluation he put
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: would never be seen by the bank. They would never
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: look at it. It says right in the documents, we're
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: not going to look at your numbers. We won't use
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: your numbers. It says right in his document, don't use
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: this number, do your own. But they all know the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: bank doesn't look at your number when they want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: give you an eight hundred million dollar loan, they send
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: a team of appraisers. They'll come decide what the number is.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They never even look at your number. Never. Now, in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the case of Letitia James, this is a crime that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's easy to commit because the bank only looks at
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: your number. And in the words, if you say it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: going to be my primary residence, they take your word
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: for it. They don't follow you around for a year.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: They take your word for it. And the reason she
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: said it was her prime going to be our primary residence.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: She'd get a much better mortgage rate, she'd get a
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: much better tax rate. She was saving a lot of me.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So it was clearly when you do something like this,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it's clearly to defraud the bank, and you're on your taxes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: So she is going to have a problem today in court.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Now they're trying to go after the prosecutor who I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was I believe a Trump attorney at one point, But
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that's not unusual. Many times somebody's president and their attorney
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: or their legal team people like that all get appointed
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: as US attorneys. And then they attack her by saying,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: even Hockel did that, she's a US attorney who has
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: no experience as a prosecutor. Well, that's pretty common. That
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: happens a lot. Chris Christy's a good example. He had
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: absolutely no experience as a prosecutor. I don't think he'd
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: ever even been in a courtroom before. But he'd been
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a huge fundraiser for George W. Bush, so they appointed
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: him US attorney. Now, there's a lot of US attorneys
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: who are very experienced prosecutors, but there's a lot of
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: them get that appointment and they've never been a prosecutor.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So it's not unusual at all. But this is the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: double standard the media Democrats are famous for. Another good
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: example is this what they're calling BDS. BDS is the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: new disease. It's ballroom derangement syndrome. Liberals media melting down
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: over the ballroom, the construction which has taking place fourteen times,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the same exact corruption, a construction with the wrecking ball
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and the cranes at fourteen times it's been done at
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the White House. You know what's interesting the ballroom. Have
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you seen the pictures of it. It's spectacular. This Versailles
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: like ballroom is absolutely enormous, spectacular, ornate, luxurious, three hundred
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: million when Obama did his construction. He tore out the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: was it the tennis court? He tore out the tennis
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: courts and built a basketball court. He spent three hundred
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and seventy six million, which is about four hundred and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: fifty million in today's dollars. So the media totally corrupt.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Not one reporter, anchor, media writer New York Times, nobody
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: has started to ask why would a basketball court, which
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: is just a slab of concrete, why a basketball court
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: cost fifty percent more than this ballroom? It should cost
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: one fiftieth of what the ballroom costs. Not only did
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: it cost off more than the ballroom, Obama built it
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: to the tax bearers. In this case, Trump is having it,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: he's paying for it, and some donors are paying for it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So total total corruption on the part of the media,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: never asking anything they should be asking. Hey, that NBA scandal.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of arrests, reputed mobsters, thirteen reputed mobsters busted
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: alongside NBA stars, sweeping historic gambling bust and the NBA
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: terrified of this. They're tangled up in it. Players throwing games,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff, four teams, four mob families, millions
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and millions and millions of dollars. It's hard to believe
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: anybody would fall for this, though. They get a couple
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of famous athletes to lead high rollers into this poker
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: game where everything is the card shuffler is rigged, the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: deck is rigged, everything is rigged. This is like a real, uh,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Henry Hill, Jimmy Burke kind of a card game. Now,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: what was his name of the movie, Jimmy Conway, Remember
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Goodfellas Henry Hill, Jimmy Conway with that poker game. So
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: why would you if you're a big NBA star and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: these guys, If you look at these guys, they've each
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: made like one hundred and fifty million, two hundred million,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: you're multi multi, multi millionaires. Why would they get involved
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: in something like this? Well, it's usually two reasons. One,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: they're in debt to the mob, the gambling debts or
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: something in debt somehow. But again, if you're worth one
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million, it's hard to believe they're in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: debt to the mob. It could be that could be it,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: or it could be they were involved in something else,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: some other total sleazy, dirty, bad behavior, something they were
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: doing that the mob knew about or had something to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: do with it and are blackmailing him into this. It
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: could be that too, who knows. But the bust was
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: pretty big yesterday. Here's a cash pttel FBI director on it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: It's not hundreds of dollars, it's not thousands of dollars.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: It's not tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: millions of dollars. We're talking about tens of millions of
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: dollars in fraud and theft and robbery across a multi
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: year investigation.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the sports books themselves are victims in this case.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: They at themselves did not.
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: As far as our investigation has concluded, they did not
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: perpetrate anything unlawful.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you gotta wonder are big high roller players
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: what are they doing in this kind of game? You
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: know you can bet anywhere now, they got legal betting.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: They got those betting sites. You can go to Las Vegas.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: You don't need to go see Jimmy Conway and Henry
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Hill here.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: Once the game was underway, the defendants fleeced the victims
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: out of tens or hundreds of.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Thousands of dollars per game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: The defendants used a variety of very sophisticated cheating technologies,
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: some of which were provided by other defendants in exchange
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: for a share of the profits from the scheme.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: It does sound pretty good. This is going to be
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: one big movie one day.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Between December twenty twenty two and March twenty twenty four,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: these defendants perpetrated a scheme to defraud by betting on
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: inside non public information about NBA athletes and teams. The
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: non public information included when specific players would be sitting
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: out future games or when they would pull themselves out
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: early for purported injuries or illnesses.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: All right, but that's gone on before. We've seen that
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: through the years, and in the age of Twitter and
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: social media and TikTok and all that stuff, you'd think
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that information would fly around a lot more than it
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: even does now.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Cash Betel, not only did we crack into the fraud
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage the NBA,
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: but we also entered and executed a system of justice
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: against La Casinoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino, Geneveci and
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Luchase crime families.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: La Coosa and Nostra. When is the last time you
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: heard that phrase?
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: This is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: that spanned the.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Course of years.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: The FBI led a coordinative takedown across eleven states to
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: arrest over thirty individuals today responsible for this case, which
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: is very much ongoing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty amazing. It's quite a story. The only problem
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I wish this would happen in a few weeks from now.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: The only problem with this case, it's grabbing all the headlines.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: It's covering up the Letitia James indictment. In fact, the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: James indictment. Last nime you were watching the news, it
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: was like fifteen minutes into the news because this thing
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: took up the whole first ten minutes. But sometime this
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: morning we'll hear that Tish James was indicted. So but
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: this NBA thing looks like over thirty people so far
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: have been indicted. You'll see more names added to that.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: This will grow and mushroom and anyway, Hey, we got
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to. Hey, we'll get to Johnny Carson.

  Speaker 10: Yeah. I called once. I called a couple of minutes ago,
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: and or immediately dropped and I called back from Christ
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: fool me and I don't know what this world is
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: coming to. Jesus Christ. Can't these guys even just be
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: honest gangsters in payout? And I say that because fifty
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: years ago, back in the day, I ran a gambling joint.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: I'm shocked, and there was there was none of those
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: shenanigans going on. In fact, I would even fund one
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: of usually one of the players at one of the
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: tables was funded by me. And what we would do
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: is whatever I would get sixty percent, I would give
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: him forty percent. But there was no cheating, none of those,
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: none of those shenanigans going on. I checked everybody when
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: they came in for weapons and stuff. I made the
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: the women opened their pocketbook to see if they had
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: anything in there. And as low as long as you
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: were playing in my place, the food that drinks.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Everything was the executive.
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: Game, yeah, exactly, every Saturday night at twelve o'clock, and
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: it was you had to be You couldn't just come,
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: you had to be a member.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: And it was like Tony Soprano with an executive game.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: But let me ask you a question, if you just
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: did a normal poker game like Tony Sopranos or Henry hill,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and you would make a nice profit, wouldn't you.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, because I got a cut on every on every pot,
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: I got a cut, So I got a cut no
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: matter what.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I see your plate. Why do you need to cheat?
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: Then that's what I'm saying. I don't know, that's what
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: I'm saying. It's it's not. I knew a woman up
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: the street and when I was a kid, I used
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: to deliver the food to her house. She had a
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: game where people would come from all over and she
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: would pay. This was before ubers that lift. She would
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: pay your cost service or a limousine to take you
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: to the game because you had to have so much
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: to sit at the table. And the game went on
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: all night, and food and drink, everything was free as
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: long as you were playing. And she paid out. You know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: none of the Shenanigan because they're making it. I was
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: making it out no matter what I was making it
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: that I got a cut of every part that was playing.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: So I hadn't coming and going, so there was no
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: need to do stuff like that. And I don't need
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: that found if somebody found out somebody was cheating, I
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: don't want nobody a shot or stamped in front of
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: my place. Oh uh no, it was to all the
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: people I know. Did it on me. I even had
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: a game in a hotel, the hotel Saint George that Maren.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Knows that where the executive game was Tony Soprano. Remember
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: it was in a hotel.
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: Exactly every week it changed up, Yeah, changed the room
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: and I would pay off the house sticks. They old
• 21:22

  Speaker 9: Thanks for having me on.
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: And I have to tell you your expertise on this book.
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: I mean, you're very generous. You say that you knew
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: everything about Johnny Carson, and I was the one person
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: that presented all these new things to you and some
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: other people. But your expertise on Carsons this sounds me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: I'm grateful for your help in this book, and you're
• 22:55
  Speaker 12: all over the book with your quotes and you added
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: so much to it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: So thank you. I knew everything you could know about
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson. I started listening to your podcast. I learned
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: like twenty seven thousand more things I didn't know now.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: But you're a young guy, so you were not really
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: around in the original days of Carson. How did this
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: love of Johnny Carson start with you?
• 23:15
  Speaker 12: You know, I was like five or six years old
• 23:18
  Speaker 12: and my dad would let me stay up on Friday
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: nights and watch Johnny and then they would do these
• 23:22
  Speaker 12: primetime anniversary shows every October, and I just the clip
• 23:26
  Speaker 12: shows were the best because I would watch Johnny with animals,
• 23:29
  Speaker 12: with kids, with senior citizens, the sketches, and he'd be
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: so funny and so witting. It was like this adult party,
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: and the politics at that time was over my head.
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: But you know, I was sixteen when he went out
• 23:42
  Speaker 12: the air on May twenty second, ninety two, and I
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: just missed him, like the nation missed him. And there
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: were just so many questions I had about the show.
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: Who was holding the curtain open for Johnny behind the scenes,
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: what was it like for a guest to be on
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: the show? So I just started this podcast and I
• 23:59
  Speaker 12: interviewed something like sixty or seventy Carson staff members. It
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: was with Irving Davis, the guy who held the curtain
• 24:05
  Speaker 12: open for Johnny for twenty years, to find out what
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: was going on behind the scenes, and it was just
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: this whole different world for me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It was amazing, so besides the funny and the guests
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: in the entertainment, there was something about Carson for a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: little kid, I kind of the same thing. He would
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: kind of like teach you about how to be an adult,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: how to have a personality, right, that kind of stuff.
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: I think.
• 24:27
  Speaker 12: So Johnny was really on the show all about manners.
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: He would say though the one time he was knock
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: good with his manners manners and he talked about it
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: on the shows and he struggled with this was his drinking.
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: He would say on the show when I drink, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: have one extra drink, I would turn into a table
• 24:41
  Speaker 12: of the hunt. But he was all about manners and
• 24:43
  Speaker 12: he was really really good with his guests. He never
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: made fun of the people. With some top show hosts
• 24:48
  Speaker 12: will try to get a laugh at the expense his rule.
• 24:51
  Speaker 12: Peter less Sali, Johnny's producer, told me uniquely, Johnny was
• 24:54
  Speaker 12: always make the guests look good. It was not to
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: get a laugh for himself. And just the way he
• 24:58
  Speaker 12: handled himself, the way he dressed, the class that he
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: had I think really separated himself. And when you were
• 25:04
  Speaker 12: a kid, you're impressionable. And there was just something really
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: about him that was special.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's different when you look back now because it's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: so many years. But at the time he was a
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: very cool guy too. You learned how to be cool watching.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Him with Oh.
• 25:18
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's really interesting in the sixties, especially because
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: back then, you know, they go to Hollywood for these trips,
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: because the show is based in New York, and it's
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: the smoking and the drinking and the suits, and it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 12: like people like Dean Martin and Buddy Hackett and Rickles.
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: It was definitely this hip party and then, as you've
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: mentioned many times, in New York, it's this very high
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: brows show with you know, people like Jimmy Breslin and
• 25:42
  Speaker 12: Gorda Badal. At the same time, he could have the
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: funniest people like Rodney Dangerfield on, and I mean, I
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: think he just had such a good variety of guests.
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: His one only criteria for a guest was excellence. If
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: you were good at what you did. It didn't didn't
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: have to be Johnny's taste in music or whatever you did.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: He wanted you on.
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: The show was about excellence.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the book, you should get the book. It's
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: called Love Johnny Carson. It's a massive book with great pictures.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Everything you would want to know about Johnny Carson is
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: called love Johnny Carson. But he was also I was
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: a little kid. You know. He was the guy that
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: introduced us to everybody. He's the one that introduced you
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: to Don Rickles and Buddy Hackett and all those guys.
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: But tell us about that part of it, yeah, I
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: mean definitely. In terms of the comedians. The one thing
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: that I that I really stuck out to me when
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: I talked to famous comedians especially is there was the
• 26:35
  Speaker 12: introducing of comics. I would talk to people like Drew Carrier,
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: talk to people like Bob Saget, and they would highlight
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: their TV guide when a comic would be on, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: it would be their introduction. And you know, everyone was
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: making their debut, everyone from Flip Wilson who said Johnny
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: did more for comedians than anybody I know. I mean
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: Flip ended up with his own show on a NBC
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: and his winning Emmys, David Letterman for appearances and his
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: guest hosting the shown Before He Knows It launches his career,
• 27:02
  Speaker 12: and it was just it was uniquely Johnny. I mean,
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: even people like Jimmy Buffett who told me he was
• 27:08
  Speaker 12: so excited to talk to me. I said, mister Buffett,
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: why would you be excited to talk to me? And
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: he said, going on Carson was the biggest break of
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: my career. And no one has ever asked me about it,
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: no journalist, no one has ever asked.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: And it was one of.
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: Those things where he introduced music, He introduced people like
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: Ross Perrot, the first billionaire. He was in New York
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: and they had him on, and that was he showed
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: up without any security. He showed up for his pre interview,
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: and that was his introduction to so many people that
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: became iconic.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, obviously Ed McMahon a big part of the show.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: No longer with us. But Doc Severnson is alive, isn't he?
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: Doc has he is in Tennessee. We've talked on the
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: phone a bunch of times, and he's been on the
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: Carson podcast, and yeah, Doc, you know, I don't know
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: if he's still you know, unfortunately, you know, Carson's no
• 27:54
  Speaker 12: longer with us. He would have been one hundred years
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: old yesterday. But I think I can still get the
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: sense talking to Doc that he just how much he
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: misses Johnny. I don't think that hurt ever went away.
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: I mean they were really close. Now, Ed McMahon would
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: say that that him and Johnny were close, and they
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: definitely had a bond. But you know, Johnny and Doc
• 28:13
  Speaker 12: would go on vacation with the wives. Where Ed and
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: Johnny were tight back in the New York days, especially
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: when they were hosting an ABC show called Who Do
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: You Trust on forty fourth Street which is now the
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: Helen Hayes Theater. They go to Sarti's in between shows.
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: But they kind of grew apart a little bit. Yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: when they moved to Burbank. But Doc, his memory, his
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: recall is unbelievable. I mean Doc was with Steve Allen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: I mean he and Peter Lesally are really build the
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: lone people that are still with us, Thank goodness.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you listen to the Carson podcast, which you should,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: how many you did like three four episodes with Doc
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: telling all his story.
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it was with Doc a bunch of episodes, and
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: we are actually going to be releasing some new conversations
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: on the Carson Podcast. We did almost four hundred episodes
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: and then I did a lot of additional episodes or
• 28:57
  Speaker 12: in reviews for the book. People like Jay Leno, people
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: like Mario Andretti who taught Johnny Carson had to drag
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: race in Indianapolis Speed Highway in the sixties when Johnny
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: did a big stump, which was fun. So a lot
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: of new interviews, but yeah, I just I tried to
• 29:12
  Speaker 12: talk to as many people and then we're going to
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: be talking to a lot of new people as well.
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: That it's going to be on the Carson Podcast, so
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: stay tuned for that. But yeah, the stories are to
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: be told. I mean, the people that just tell me
• 29:23
  Speaker 12: it was the greatest time of their life. Yeah, there's
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: just it's endless.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: People pick on today's late night shows, but not to
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: pick on the host. But it's not their fault. The
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: bigness is gone. It's no longer a massive audience, no
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: longer these huge, big name stars. What do you think
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the future is of late night? It may not last
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: much longer.
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: I'm not I don't.
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: I just the business model seems network TV. The ratings
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: just keep going down every year. I just don't think
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: it's probably sustainable. I mean, let's let's look at this.
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: Johnny at one point was what twenty five percent of
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: all of NBC's profits. I mean, he was doing an
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: hour in forty five minutes when he started in New York.
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: I mean he became NBC's cash cow.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: This was a guy.
• 30:05
  Speaker 12: When he started that the critics were like, is he
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: gonna last? Or we're gonna is NBC going to bring
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: merv Griffin And there were rumors Jack Parr was going
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: to come back. And Carson didn't even have his own
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: bathroom in his office at NBC when he started in
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: his dressing room, he had to go to the men's
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: room with the key, and it was with all the employees.
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: They did not treat him like a star. So he's
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: about nineteen sixty ford he breaks Judy Garland's record at
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: the Sahara Hotel in Vegas. He starts to get more power,
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: and once he starts to get more power and creative
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: power from the network and just was became NBC's cash cow.
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: The tie change. By nineteen eighty he gets the ownership
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: of his show, which was completely unheard of, and NBC
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: is essentially working for Johnny. It's the polar opposite and
• 30:48
  Speaker 12: just that domination of a network. I don't think we'll
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: see that again.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, we don't have much time with David you mentioned
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: it's the hundredth birthday of Johnny Carson. What is going
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: on to celebrate that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yesterday they did a big thing at Johnny's alma
• 31:02
  Speaker 12: mater at Lincoln I'm in the University of Nebraska. They
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: had some former Carson guests. They had Marilyn May who
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: went on the show, a lout who was a singer.
• 31:10
  Speaker 12: They had a comedian named Pat Hazel who was on
• 31:13
  Speaker 12: Carol Leafer. Lance Burden maybe had an amazing Carson debut
• 31:17
  Speaker 12: as a magician. So they have that going on. And
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: I did a nice book signing last night. We have
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: We were packed signing books uptown in Manhattan. So yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: I've been just seeing so many people posting about Carson,
• 31:29
  Speaker 12: about the centennial, just about how much he's missed. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 12: the official Johnny Carson YouTube channel has over a million subscribers,
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: and it just tells you how much people miss this man.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great stuff on YouTube. We're out of time,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: but we'll do this again soon. But everybody love that Mark.

  Speaker 1: He's more Mark, So mark'simone show on seven ten WR.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, it's gonna be a nice weekend. I mean,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: it's not summer anymore. It's pretty obvious, but it's just
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: like a fall weekend, like upper fifties. And actually the
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: leaves are right about peak. This is like the peak
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: weekend around here for leaf watching if you like staring
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: at leaves. But a lot of people do, so we
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: got a lot to get to in the next hour,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to it right after the news. We're
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: here every day ten to noon on seven to ten wrmorn.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Similar on seven ten.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's Friday. Now Tomorrow Saturday, and it's the first
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: day of early voting mayoral race. The election actually begins tomorrow.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Voting starts tomorrow and it goes for ten days. Get
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: out there and vote. Vote for Curtis. We think he'd
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: be the best mayor. But tomorrow is the first day. Well,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to the merrial race. Now. The shutdown
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: has been on for two weeks. This is the big
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: payday normally for government employees. They're going to miss a
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: payday to day, and they tried to take votes every
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: day to what they want to do. Republicans sign what
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: do they call that? A clean cry? They've all this jargon,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: but what it means is they'd extend the talks. He
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: signed this thing and it extends everything for seven weeks.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: That gives you a chance to negotiate. Every time they
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: bring this up for a vote, Democrats voted down. They
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: don't want the extension. President Trump tries to explain why.
• 34:05
  Speaker 13: I think the Democrats have gone totally crazy. And you
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: don't know what they're going to do because they don't
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: care about the people.
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: They don't.
• 34:15
  Speaker 13: I really think they have no leadership. They have a
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: lot of very low IQ people.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you do have some low IQ people, you got
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of those aocs. But the real problem is
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: no leadership. You don't have a clear leader. In the
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: good old days, it was somebody like Chuck Schumer. Now
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: he's like an old, washed up has been who's so terrified.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: He knows it's over, he knows he can't run for reelection.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: AOC has already out raised him like ten to one
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in money, and then you got Hakeem Jefferies is not
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: really a leader. He's trying to be. He's trying to
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: look serious and look like he has some gravitas, but
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: not pulling it off at all. So without the leadership,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: they can't seem to get anything done. And that's another
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: problem the Republicans have. There's really nobody to negotiate with.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Schumer is not free to even be Schumer. He's just
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: so terrified of the left. And that's the problem. So
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see what happens. You know, this all
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: started over the healthcare stuff. And it was all caused
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: by the Obamacare prices going crazy. They were just getting
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: out of control, and they've got to be something's got
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: to be done to get them back under control. The
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: premiums are just going through the roof. Everything has gone crazy.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: You remember what they called Obamacare, Remember what the original
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: name was, the Affordable Care Act. It was supposed to
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: start that way, but the prices on it went up
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: like seven hundred percent, and it's unaffordable now. You remember
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: the other thing that was billed as is you like
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: your doctor, you can keep your doctor. You like your plan,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: you can keep your plan. Well, nobody ever saw their
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: doctor again. All of a sudden, you're in some weird network.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody lost their plan that was under it. It's just
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: a mess. It needs to be fixed by both sides.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: But somebody's got to give it and sign that extension.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: It give you a few more weeks to talk about it. Hey,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: this big NBA scandal. You know, I like Stephen A. Smith,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: but sometimes he can say the dumbest things. You know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: he looks like a smart guy and he's always well
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: dressed and artickled, and then every so of he just
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: says the dumbest stuff. So he's getting a lot of
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: flack from yesterday because he I don't know what he
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: was thinking this whole NBA scandal. He was trying to
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: blame it on Trump. He said, it's Trump that caused this.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: It's retribution from Trump. Cash Brittel, FBI director, he said,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: it's about the dumbest comment he's ever heard. This investigation
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: was started by Joe Biden's administration. The Trump administration just inherited.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: It's been going on for about two years. Trump's only
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: been there whatever it is, eight months, nine months. But again,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: this whole it's operation whatever the hell they call it,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: it's a Biden era investigation. Most of it done during
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the Biden era, so that nothing to do with whatsoever
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith. But he hasn't apologized, He hasn't said
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: anything about it yet. Hey, another good thing in New
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: York if this works, if they actually do this. They've
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: announced a crackdown on e bikes, those electronic bikes you
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: got it's just chaos in the streets. When it was
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: all cars, the it was just cars and all car lanes,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: you would get bikes riding along the very edge by
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: the curb, which was that was a safer system. Now
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: you've got bike lanes in the middle of the street,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: you got e bikes, you got scooters, you got those
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: what do you call those things? Those petticabs all over
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: the place. It's an absolute mess. It's total chaos and
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: no rules. It's just total chaos. Bikes going through lights,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: going the wrong way, going on the sidewalk. You got
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: to start cracking down on this. So step number one.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: There's now a fifteen mile an hour speed limit on
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: e bikes and they claim they'll enforce this. Now, if
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: they do, two things will happen. Those bikes will start
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: to have to behave themselves instead of running lights and
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: being all over the road and speeding. If that's true,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: and they start cracking down giving tickets, they'll have to
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: do that. And the other thing that'll happen is you'll
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: start generating a ton of revenue because they go city
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: always claiming they need more revenue. Crack down on the
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: e bikes, the petty cabs, speeding, tickets, running lights, running
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: all over the place. It's a ton of revenue. You
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: could probably get rid of that congestion pricing. But let's
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: see if they do it. Let's see if they really
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: crack down. Also, make all those bikes and everything get licenses.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: It's another source of revenue. You have to pay for
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: a license every year. Now, speaking of congestion pricing, you'll
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: notice in the debate, Mom Donnie said he would keep
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: the congestion pricing. Is all for it. But you'll notice
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Cuomo said that too. I guess he thought he had
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to since he created it. He's the guy that gave
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: us congestion pricing. He's the one that pushed it through,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: got it passed, and then Hokal used it. But he
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: said he would keep it. He's all for it. Mayoral race,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Eric Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo. He says
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: he'll go out and campaign with him. I don't know
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: how much that helps. Adams was in single digits, but
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: he's gonna fight for Cuomo.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Am I angry that I'm not the one taking down Zoran,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: the socialists and the communists. You're dawn right, I am,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: but you know what the city means more to me
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: than anything, and it is time for us as a
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: family to come together.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on principle, But on the other hand, remember
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: there were massive, big, big donors with billions of dollars,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: trying to spread it around, trying to do whatever they
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: could to help Cuomo get Curtis out whatever. Who knows,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Who knows why Adams is suddenly on board? Who knows?
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Corrupt birds of a feather flock to get That's cursed
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: about that?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Any thought he.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Who was going to vote Ferrick Adams? I have to
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: wonder with they've been these last four year trust he
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: is the most corrupt man in the history.
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: Of New York.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: So Hey, Andrew Plumbo, you can have whatever votes he had.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: I don't ever want Errik Adams boots.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Now, you gotta admit Adams when he took office put
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: in some of the sleaziest people. The first few years
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: of the Adams administration. In fact, how many of them
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: got indicted, how many of them got arrested, how many
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: of them are going to trial? It was pretty bad.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: But the last year Adams straightened out and it became
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: pretty good. He brought in Randy Mastro to be the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: deputy mayor running things. Mastro is great. You couldn't ask
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: for a better guy to run city Hall. He was
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Giuliani's guy for eight years and then he brought in
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Jessica Tish, excellent police commissioner and under the first few
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: years of Adams, there was tremendous corruption in the NYPD
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: at very high levels. But Jessica Tish came in and
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: cleaned it out. It was about ten or fifteen people
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: and she fired him all some of them pretty big people.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: But she immediately give her credit, cleaned it up. So Adams.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: The last six months things have been fine. Now Cuomo
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: has said he will keep Jessica Tish and Mom Donnie
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: shocked a lot of people in the debate by saying
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: he will keep Jessica Tish. If that's the case, that
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: would reassure a lot of people. But if you go
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: back and play the video again and analyze it, he
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: didn't exactly say he would definitely keep her. He said
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: he would consider keeping. There was some wiggle room in it.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: There was some weasel room. And even if he said
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I will ask her to stay on, well, what does
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: that mean for a week, for a month? Fire her
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: in six months? Obviously, if you had your own idea
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: for a commissioner, you would take office and she would
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: stay on until you're whoever your replacement is was ready.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: So would she stay on? What you want to stay with?
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, Well, that's the problem. She did work under Deblasio,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: which was pretty bad, and she did take over in
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the Atoms when things were still a mess there. But
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: she would stay on. But you never know. If he
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: starts interfering, if he starts tampering and things, starts restricting
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the police, she'd probably, knowing her, she would quit on
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: principle and not put up with it. Donald Trump Junior,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: weighing in on Mom Donnie.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Perhaps it's exactly what we need as a country.
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: You know, you hate to see New York failure, the
• 42:23
  Speaker 14: birthplace off Wall Street, the birthplace of American capitalism, go
• 42:27
  Speaker 14: down in flames. But perhaps that's the lesson we all
• 42:30
  Speaker 14: have to see. If the rest of the country watches
• 42:32
  Speaker 14: New York fail, and I believe it will under these
• 42:35
  Speaker 14: disastrous ideas, you know, maybe that's what we need to
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: stop the spread of this scourge, of this disease of
• 42:43
  Speaker 14: communism in America.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Well he's not alone. I mean, I don't know about that,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: but there's some people that think that it's better to
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: get Mom Donnie. Let him be a total disaster. Everybody's
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: been trying to figure out what to do about the
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Democratic this woke, crazy, insane, far left nonsense. Even a
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: lot of Democrats are trying to figure out how to
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: stop it. So maybe a total Mom Donni disaster. But
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: we've already tested it, We've already watched it. It happened in Chicago,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: it happened in San Francisco, It's happened all over the place,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't seem to be a lesson that resonates anywhere.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: From what I hear, you know, Mam Donnie is funded.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of money funding Mom Donnie, a lot
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: of George Soros type money flowing in millions, many, many millions.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: And from what I hear, they got another twenty six,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie's ready to go. They'll run them in other cities.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: You know, they got them like a central training headquarters
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: where they like an academy where they train them how
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: to be like Mom Donnie, you know, be good in
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the debates, say all the right stuff, have that slick look.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: There's about twenty six, Mom Donnie's ready to go. So
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: this idea let New York go up in flames. So
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: everybody sees it, learns their lesson it's great, but not
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: for us. We're going to have to live through this
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: if it is Mom Donnie. I just remember we got
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: through eight years at the Blasio. We made it through
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the Blasio, so you never know. Mam Donnie was using that.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: He's got a lot of commercials. Now you're seeing more
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: and more commercials now. Last few weeks it was mostly
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Curtis running TV commercials. Now it's everybody. But there's one
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie commercial where it uses a New York Knicks
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: uniform with his name on it. It implies that there's
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: somehow there's a New York Knicks connection to Mom Donnie.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: The New York Knicks have sued him. They've they got
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: a cease and desist order. They want him to stop
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: using their logo, their uniform or anything in the commercials.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: They want nothing, nothing to do with them. You know,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: there's a candidate in Long Island who's running for a
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: DA or something and there's some commercial from the opposition
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: tying her to Mom Donnie. So she's suing the GOP.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: She wants nothing to do with Mom Donnie. I think
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: she's a Democrat. She just wants no connection the Democrats
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: suing the GOP for trying to connect her in any
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: way to Mom Donnie. So again he's very, very unpopular
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: with a lot of Democrats too. Hey remember Bob Menendez.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Bob Menendez who went to jail. He's the senator with
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: the gold bars. We're recommending books today. There's a great
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: book that just came out Isabelle Vincent, big, big investigative
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: reporter in New York Post, and she's written a lot
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: of great books. She's written books about all sorts of stuff.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: But her new book is called Gold Bar Bob. If
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: you want the real Bob Menendez story, and by the way,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: if you're a movie producer, you might want to get
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: this book. It'd be a great movie. Gold Bar Bob
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: goes through the whole Menendez story. But you got to
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: read this because it takes you all through this New
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Jersey mafia connection, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: the personal campaign contributions, the way he aided others, interfered
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: in criminal prosecutions, defrauded medicare questionable visa. It's fascinating stuff.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: But take a look at this book. It's called Gold
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Bar Bob. Downfall of the Most Corrupt Us Senator. So
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: if you're in New Jersey, you might want to read
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: or anyway, gold bar Bob speaking in New Jersey. Looks
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: like it's tied. You don't have any definitive polling there,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: but it's very, very close. Chitarelly just lost by a little.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Now here's the problem. Nothing personal in New Jersey, but
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: your voting system. There's a lot of funny business goes
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: on in New Jersey. Even democrats I'm talking about the
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: insiders will tell you officials, people that know all this stuff.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: You know, you can't win by one two percent. It
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: won't cover the cheating in the New Jersey voting system.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: You got to win by like three, four or five
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: percent to cover that. So so far Chittarelly hasn't been
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: able to get that kind of lead. Hey, we'll take
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: some calls in a minute, eight hundred three to two,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten oh. And by the way, in
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: a few minutes, we'll talk to the greatest polster in
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: the world and see what he knows about the New
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: York race and New Jersey race. We'll get to all
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: of that coming up, but we'll take some calls next
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two, one zero seven ten.
• 47:19

• 50:29
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Yes, Mark.
• 50:32
  Speaker 14: I wanted to tell you that I learned that.
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: The UH. The first of all, I want to say,
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: the Orthodox you is very concerned about this selection, very
• 50:43
  Speaker 9: much so that.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: Oh it's this Sandy. Sorry. Let's go to uh uh
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Anthony and Edison Anthony. She always disguises himself.
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: The Democrats over here in New Jersey.
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: The lay Trump out saying that he Spikefuly canceled this
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: gateway project. I'm one of you. Got to give me
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: the stinty on that.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he canceled the Gateway project. This is part of
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: fighting back in the shutdown. It's canceled until it's uncanceled.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: End the shutdown, start negotiating, and the Gateway project is back.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: And that's the way Trump does things. He starts the
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: negotiation by taking away something. It just gives him more
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: power than negotiation. You know, you go into the negotiation saying, well,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: if it gets really bad, I'll threaten to soothe him
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: if it gets really bad. Now what Trump does. He
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: sues you before he even shows up, so the lawsuit
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: is on. Then he goes into negotiation, and he's got
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: some leverage he can offer to drop the suit. It's
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: just the way he negotiates, and he's been very successful
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: at it. Let's go to fran in Massapequa. Friend, how
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: you doing, my man mark? How are you keep up?
• 52:05
  Speaker 17: To keep up the great work?
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: You're a beacon of truth. Oh right, there's gonna be
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: a button here. Good Yeah, no, no bucks.
• 52:17
  Speaker 17: I want to know why when they showed the No
• 52:19
  Speaker 17: Kings March and most of the liberal protests, there are
• 52:23
  Speaker 17: a lot of white, fat liberal women, young pinkhead you know, girlies,
• 52:30
  Speaker 17: and some boys.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: People keep asking that how come it was so white,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: so old that No Kings March. You gotta remember, these
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: are older. It's these are people have nothing to do
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: all day. They're not working, they've they've got no nothing
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: going on. They're retired, they're sitting at home all day
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: getting old riled up. They're watching MSNBC and CNN. You
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: know the average age of the MSNBC viewer. I think
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: it's seventy two now, No, seriously, and uh, it's an older, older,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: older crowd that march. You know, if you're younger, you
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: got more going on. You're busy, you don't have time
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: to go to a No King's March. So it was
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: a very old crowd, and they put on those crazy
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: costumes and the whole thing. It just looked like Halloween
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: at the Senior Center. It was just absolutely ridiculous. Hey,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: when we come back, we haven't had any real polls
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: in this race. There's these junk college polls and these
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: little nothing polling companies you never heard of. We'll talk
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: to the greatest pollster in the world next on seven
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: to ten. WR.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Mark Simone Show on wo on.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you see these media polls, college polls,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: they're all terrible, just these junk poles. You see polling
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: companies you never heard of. The biggest and best pollster
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: in the world is John McLaughlin. This is the one
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: presidents and prime ministers and the biggest campaigns us John
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: McLaughlin hiss. The website is McLaughlin online dot com and
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: he's with us now, John McLaughlin, how you doing.
• 54:04
  Speaker 9: I'm doing well because you say very nice, flattering things.
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: But I'm fortunate that I've polled for Donald Trump. And
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: as you and I have discussed before, President Trump proved
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: that polls rite a long time ago in twenty sixteen
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: and has done so since. So I guess, yeah, we'll
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: see about now he's talking, you know, some of his
• 54:25
  Speaker 9: friends are talking to him about twenty twenty eight. We'll see. Well,
• 54:29
  Speaker 9: but I think I think, yeah, I don't think that's
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: I don't think that's going to happen. So that's what
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: I get to listen to the nice things people say
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: about our polls, because last year we said he was
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: going to sweep the battleground states and when the popular
• 54:42
  Speaker 9: vote and he proved that true.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just explained to people these public polls they're cheap, flimsy.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: They're like five hundred people, a thousand people. It's not
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: always likely voters. I mean, what you do is much
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: more scientific, elaborate, much much bigger scale. So but we
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: haven't had a real poll from a real uh they
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: call the internals by any of the campaigns. Have we.
• 55:05
  Speaker 9: Not really And when you're looking at I mean when
• 55:07
  Speaker 9: you look at national polls, like they've gone back to
• 55:11
  Speaker 9: their bias against the president and they're kind of right.
• 55:14
  Speaker 9: It could be I llegal immigrant, they have cell phones.
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's serious. Some of these polls, like there
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: was a poll out last week Economists. You go of online,
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: so there was an online poll and they had when
• 55:25
  Speaker 9: you go into their internals, they have more liberal it's
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: so wrong. They have more liberals and conservatives. That's the
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: opposite of the exit polls from West November. And they
• 55:35
  Speaker 9: have more Democrats and Republicans. Again, it's the opposite of
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: the exit polse. The big killer is this economists Hugo
• 55:42
  Speaker 9: Poland was done like the October twentieth they and they
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: had that. They had like twelve hundred people, but they're
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: supposedly you know, adults, but they had only thirty five
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: percent Trump voters. We got fifty percent. So when they
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: come out with a job approval for President Trump of
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: forty three percent, it means they're short as fifteen points
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: just they had because nine out of ten Trump voters
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: still approve the job he's doing at least, if not
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: one hundred percent, So you get so just add fifteen
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: to the forty three, that'd be fifty eight. So the
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: better polls have them like we had in September, we
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: had forty nine percent job for forty six disapproved. We
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: had the Republicans winning for Congress forty seven to forty one.
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: But it was a thousand likely voters. We know the
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: voters were contacting the voters, We're asking them how likely
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: they are to vote, because it's a big difference because
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: in the last national election you had our hundred sixty
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: million people vote apartment on a hundred fifty six million
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: people voted. It was one hundred and sixteen twenty twenty.
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: So that's out of a universe of you know, like
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: two hundred and fifty two hundred and sixty adults in
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: the United States. And then when you get to when
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: you get to but the midterm elections, the midterm the
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: elections go down even further. So in twenty eighteen, one
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: hundred and eighteen million people come out, and in twenty
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: twenty two it was one hundred and twelve million. So nationally,
• 57:15
  Speaker 9: when you're saying a thousand likely voters trying to represent
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: a universe, it's the universe of probably about one hundred
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: and ten hundred and twenty million voters that are probably
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: going to come out, and poles really don't predict turnout.
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: You have to look at other barometers when you get
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: close to the election.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Well, now let me ask you about the mayoral race.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: I know you haven't pulled it. Nobody's really pulled. No
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: real top polling companies done this mayoral race. But what
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: is your sense right now? Is mom Donnie on track
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: to win? Has he been losing steam? Is Cuomo gaining.
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: By the way we did Poland January for Betsy McCoy
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: first her Save Our City project, and back then we
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: had only thirty one percent of the Democrat parwer voters
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: preferring Cuomo. And when you have the second choice cause
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: that grant choice vote was only five So I told
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: Betsy he's not going to it's just and it seemed
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: to be right for the primary, but Mondombe hadn't emerged.
• 58:09
  Speaker 9: And when you look at the like the Fox News
• 58:11
  Speaker 9: pole that came out, and it was like October fourteenth
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: was the day that came out. The difficult part is
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: Mondomie's the most favorable of the candidates, so they had
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: Mondomie ahead, but he had a fifty eight to thirty
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: seven Farewell Unfairbell while Clomo in that poll was fifty
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: to forty eight and Curse was thirty six to fifty three. Farewell,
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: fun Farewell. And then there was the ar the AA
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: RP pole which was one thousand and forty likely voters
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: that Gotham did and it was mild after the last
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: male race was kind of a snoozer with Adams and
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: and so you only had a million people. So you know,
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: when you think about it in the city, you could
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: have one point eight million voted. When I was polling
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: for leez Elden and we were in a close race
• 58:59
  Speaker 9: with Hockel, there was one point eight million people came
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: out in the city. Or when I was pulling for
• 59:03
  Speaker 9: President Trump, you had two and a half million people
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: come out in those races. You know, Lee and President
• 59:09
  Speaker 9: Trump did as well as a Republican could do in
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: the city where we got thirty percent. And so this
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: aar P pole. When you're looking at it, it's probably tilted,
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: it is probably too old and may not be democratic enough. Yeah,
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: and it yeah in it, but they have they had.
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: That's the one that caused the stir where you had
• 59:30
  Speaker 9: the three whay you had a Mandamie at forty three
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: in Cuoma twenty nine and Curtis at nineteen. So Curtis
• 59:37
  Speaker 9: is running behind where Trump and Zelden were, but in
• 59:39
  Speaker 9: the two way. That's because it was an older sample,
• 59:43
  Speaker 9: maybe a little light on the Democrats. It was forty
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: five Mandamie forty one Cuomo, and that's when they all started.
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: Curtis got to get out. Now, Curtis needs to be
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: Curtis and Cuomo needed to be going after Mundami in
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: a heavy way since all summer. They should have been,
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: but they've been. You know, these all these people, like
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: you say, the billionaires who don't know what they're doing. Yeah,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: they've all been playing musical chairs, saying, oh this, once
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: you get out, this, once you get out. The problem
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: is when you look at the internals of that poll,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: Mondamie is a net positive forty eight to forty five
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: faarable to unfavorable, and Curtis is thirty five faarauell forty
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 9: seven unfairal So he's a net negative and Cuomo's a
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: net negative thirty seven faarabuel to forty eight unfavorable.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: But now you said, yeah, but you said, way back
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: months ago, you said, the only way to stop mom Donnie,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to have them bombard the airwaves with
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: negative ads, bring out his negatives, drive up his unfavorables.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Where were the donors. They didn't do it, none of
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: the packs.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: Where were they No, By the way, I don't use
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: the word negative issue adds.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Issue ads, but where were they They They sat, they
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: set it out.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: Well, it's cheaper that way, they don't. It didn't cost
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: him anything. I mean, Cuomo wastes a lot of their
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: money in the primary and now now you know, but
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: you have you know, like we ran President Trump's campaign,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: it was a contrast between his job as president versus
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: Biden and Harris the job they had done, and people
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: respond to issues. Now you're seeing you know, kits and
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: sink ads coming out about Mundomie's positions on the issues
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: about legalizing prostitution, it'll increase human trafficking. He wants to
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 9: legalize drugs, it'll increase drug use on the subways. Him
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: defunding the you know, closing jails to fund. By the way,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: the one who won the last two mayoral debates is
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: Bruce Blakeman in NASA's Yeah, because works for Bruce out there.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: Bruce has done a great job. He's cut taxes, he's
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: refused to raise taxes in four years. He's hired hundreds
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: of new police officers. They're the savist county in America,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 9: and so Mondamie in Nassau County has a twenty five
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: favorable He has to sixty nine percent.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Right, there's no chance of Blakeman leasing we hope.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: Well, you can't take it for granted. It's an eight
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 9: point Democrats county. So there's more Democrats in Nasau than
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: there are Republicans.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody get out, Yeah, everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman. Well,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: just about it. We got like a minute left. What
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: do you think is going to happen in this selection
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: turnout wise? Well, we get a big turnout, can make
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: a difference. You think we'll get it?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 9: Well on Saturday, they start tomorrow, they start voting early,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: so you'll have actual counts of people by party, by
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: registration by burrow. And if it's like the primary room
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: Mondamie's his nonprofits, that stores funds, et cetera. If they
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 9: start getting people online and voting, that won't be good
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: for Andrew Clomo, Curtis Leer. So you know, so if you,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 9: if you, if you care about New York City like
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 9: we do, you need to make sure that it's not
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 9: just you know, the people organization.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Can't you got to get out and vote. Hey, Cloma
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: had a pretty good debate. Surprised everybody? Does that mean anything?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Is that going to help? Is it too late?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 9: It definitely helps, And it's not too late until election day.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: You gotta you know, I mean, if that forty five
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: forty one is close, you know, granted he's He's still
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: got to do a lot of issue education and a
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 9: short amount of time on Mondamie's on the on the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: record between them and and and you know, that's the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: probably that's why Curtis still has has a significant amount
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: of the vote because there's a lot of people that
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 9: remember Clomo was the guy who gave us cashless vail.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: Casha's Vale has like been really bad for you. So
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: so as far as the election goes, you know, Clomo's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: got to he's got to make up a lot of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: ground against Mondamie where the final points could be the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 9: toughest points to uh uh to recapture. And you've got
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 9: you know, and you got other races, like you've got
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 9: more Maron given Alvin Bragg a race that's been you know,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 9: oh shadowed by the male race.
