FULL SHOW: Zohran Mamdani's plans; MSNBC's final week is upon us. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on seven to ten.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Woo, Hey, what's today? Thursday? Seems like the week's Oh,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: it's been a hell of a week. A lot of
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: this a stressful, draining week because of everything going on.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: But hey, we'll get to mom Donnie. We'll also give
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you the whole story of how he did this. It's
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: an interesting behind the scenes story of how he went
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: from zero to forty one percent to fifty percent and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to win the election with a majority. By the way,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: with a majority of the votes. Now, only let me
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: see forty five percent of New York voted registered voters,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: which is actually less than actual population. Out of all
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the registered voters in New York, only forty five percent voted.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That was it. But we'll get to the campaign, how
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it worked. We'll get to the transition. We'll get to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, she's leaving. We'll get to the shutdown. We'll
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: get to Oh, MSNBC. The final week is next week
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of MSNBC. Then it switches to this new thing. But
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we'll explain all of that coming up. Mam Donnie has
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: picked his transition team. Now, as we've been telling you,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of the Deblasio people. The Deblasio staff
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: came in and helped the Mam Donnie campaign, and there'll
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be a big party administration. So if you're wondering how
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: bad it's going to be, it will be very very
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Deblasio like, because a lot of his people will be
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: involved in this. He's picked the transition team, Elena Leopold,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: who was with Mayor Deblasio. She was his team's executive director,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Melanie Hartzog who's a former deputy mayor under Deblasio, Lena
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Kahn's former Federal Trade Commission chare Maria Torres Springer, who
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: was first deputy mayor to Eric Adams. So it's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: lot of the same people from de Blasio and the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: couple from Adams. But people still think it'll be a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: little worse than Deblasio, only because Mom Donnie seems even
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: crazier than Deblasio. The billionaires, all of those big, big,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: big donors who always get everything wrong in every election,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: always backed the wrong candidates, always do everything wrong. You know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: they were busy pushing Cuomo. Cuomo had wooed them and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: won them over, and they were all behind Cuomo, who
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: never had a chance. These billionaires are now all over
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie trying to make peace with him. Bill Ackman
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: tweeting out, well, you know, let me help anything I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: can do. I'm here for you, you know, to Mom Donnie,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he was one of the biggest guys pushing Quota, one
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of the guys trying the hardest to get Curtis out
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of the race. I want to do everything I can
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to help you, says Ackman. Now basically see what happens
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to Quotma again. The big, big donors who made fortunes
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in their own industry but are absolute dopes when it
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: comes to politics and always get it wrong. We're all
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: over Cuomo. I think they're starting to see that Cuomo
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: was just had no shot at all. Besides the fact
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that he left office in disgrace with a tremendous amount
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of baggage. He was totally out of shape politically. He
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: saw it in the first two months of the campaign.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: He was just awful, completely out of shape politically, just
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: didn't know what to do. So a lot of people
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: turning on Cuomo. Now even on the view they were
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: beating up Andrew Cuomo, the view that kept pushing him
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: slobbering all over him, adoring him the view. Joy Behar said, well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: besides saying bad things about Cuomo, she said, the Trump
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: endorsement was the kiss of death, absolute kiss of death.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Anna Navarro Argue said, no, no, it's Cuomo himself. Andrew
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Cuomo is the kiss of death. You got to love
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: these democrats the way they just knee jerk, flip flop
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: on everything they were. They loved Cuomo. Now he's the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: kiss of death, Andrew Cuomo. She says, Andrew Cuomo was
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: running an old nineteen seventies, an old tired campaign. Mom
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Donnie was in the twenty first century doing modern day stuff.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: He hit the pavement, he caught lightning in a bottle.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: He captured the imagination of people. Now even President Trump
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: get now. He was pushing Cuomo as hard as he could.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: He was behind the scenes, trying to get Curtis out,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. He was really really pushing Cuomo. Now
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he's turned on him completely. He never liked him anyway.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But the one thing that drives Cuomo nuts is if
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you call him a thug. And I don't blame him,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: who wants to be called that, But that's the one
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that hits a nerve with him. If you ever call
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: him a thug. He's actually said that the people you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and he's if you go after him, he'll yell and
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: scream at you. But the one thing I say, don't
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: call me a thug. I understand it. I understand he
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't not want to be called a thug. It's the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: one word that really gets him. So yesterday President Trump
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: speaking to a group of men and women of Congress
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Republicans from Congress at a breakfast. Then he got up
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and spoke about the election, and he called Cuomo a thug. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's a coincidence. I think I think
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Trump knew from different various sources that that's the word
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Cuomo hates the most. So three times he called him
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a thug, and then at one point he said the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: whole thing was screwed up. He asked the voters to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: choose between a communist or a thug. So Trump now
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: totally totally turned off on Cuomo. Now, what's going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: happen as far as Trump and Mom Donnie, Well, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, in that angry victory speech, you know he's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: supposed to make a happy wonderful victory speech. But Mom, Donnie,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it was just awful. It was really angry. President Trump
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: talked about it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and I think he should be very nice to me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm the one that sort of has to
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: approve a lot of things coming to him. So he's
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: off to a bad start.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's supposed to be able to work with the government.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I'm so torn because I would like to see the
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: new mayor do well because I love New York.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: I really love New York.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: When I left New York for Washington, New York was
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: doing really well, but there were some bad signs. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: bad sign was a guy named the Blasio. So the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: signe of the Blasio. That was the beginning, and it
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: was bad. This one. We're gonna look for a thousand years.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Communism has not worked. It just communism, or the concept
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of communism has not worked. I tend to doubt it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: going to work this time.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very angry speech. I mean, especially
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: going after Trump.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: get to any of us, you will have to get
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: through all of us.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Whatever that means. But he was the smiling salesman sort
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of a guy, and then he was this angry protester
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: at the speech. Total Jekyl and Hyde on his part,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: now he has said, and he said it yesterday, he
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: will keep Jessica Tish as police commissioner. That would make
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: people happy. A lot of people think she's doing a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: great job. But he was disagreeing with You know, the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: crime wave, you can pretty much see where it was caused.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Andrew CuMo. You got to give him a lot of
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: credit for causing the crime wave when he pushed that
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: no bail, no jail, that cashless bail. Cromo is the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: one that pushed it. He went out and campaigned for it,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: made speeches for it, signed it into law. And then
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you add that the no bail, no jail with Cuomo
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: closing the prisons, letting the prisoners out. Then you get
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg who won't put it but he in jail.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: There's your crime wave. That's it. Mom. Donnie for some
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: reason has been trying to blame it on the pandemic.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Why would the pandemic cause a crime wave? I don't know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He keeps trying to you know, Jessica Tish did police
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: commission keeps explaining to him it's this cashless bail. Police
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: officials will tell you it's the same twenty five hundred criminals.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They know who they are. They could round him up
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. It's the same twenty five
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: hundred committing all the crimes, nothing to do with the pandemic.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But Mom Donnie won't doesn't believe it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: This is a decision to build on what she has
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: done in entering Eric Adams's NYPD where he stacked the
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: upper echelons with corruption.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: That's a different cut, wrong cut, wrong cut. But she
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: argues with the Mom Donnie, it was caused by the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: no bail, no jail.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: In my opinion, crime went up as a result of
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: the drastic changes we made in our criminal justice laws
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: in New York State, not as a result of the pandemic.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But he disagrees.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Different opinion.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: Uh huh.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: My opinion is one that looks at the spike in
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: crime across the country over the course of the pandemic
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: and sees similar spikes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now this other this was uh she got decided
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: whether to keep Jessica till she's saying it publicly because
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it's maybe because it sounds good, or maybe he really
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: would Now that, we don't know that she would stay
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and work for him. Uh, you know, a lot of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: people don't want to work for him. The fire commissioners
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a great guy, Robert Tucker, he just quit. He just
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: announced he's leaving. So we don't know that she'll want
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to work with him. Now. One thing he likes about her.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: When she took office, there were a lot of corrupt
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: not a lot, but there was some corruption in the
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: top level of the NYPD, some very bad corrupt people there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: She had and it's tough to come in and fire
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: all these people, very high ranking people, but she cleaned
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: house from the got rid of these corrupt people, about
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: twenty of them or something, So he was happy about that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: This is a decision to build on what she has
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: done in entering Eric Adams's NYPD, where he stacked the
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: upper echelons with corruption and incompetence. She started to root
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: that out and also reduce crime, and also to create
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: the Department of Community Safety, and also to disband the
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Strategic Response Group, and also to actually follow through on
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: the exact agenda that we've been running on.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now his agenda again, that's why I don't know
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: if she'll stay. He's got these crazy ideas, things like
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the strategic response group that's for a mass shooter suddenly
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: on the scene. He needs stuff like that, and he
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: wants to you know, all this stuff about send social
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: workers on domestic violence calls. It's absolutely ridiculous and the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: NYPD has tried it a dozen times over the last
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: forty years and it never ever, ever, ever works. So anyway,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to the mirural race. We'll get to Hey,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: we'll walk you through. I'll explain to you step by
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: step how he got to be mayor, how he went
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: from zero to having fifty percent of the vote. It's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: an interesting story. We'll get to that. You should see
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the people that are just gushing over Mamdannie. You think
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that the Democrats that well, we got no choice, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: got to vote democratic, will vote for him now. They
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: love this guy, love this guy. There was Cynthia Nixon
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Sex and the City Star. There she was at the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Mam Donnie victory speech, gushing all over him. Mandy Patinkin,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: go look at the video. It's up on my Twitter.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Mandy Patinkin makes a video with mom Donnie just drooling
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: all over him. How grady is Keith McNally. Now, this
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is a great restaurant tour Baltasar Pastise, Minetta Tavern, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: some of the top finest, most expensive restaurants in New York,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: he says McNally. McNally says, Mandannie is great. He's exactly
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: what we need. He's just the person we need. This
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: is going to be great. It's the dawning of a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: wonderful new era. A guy who runs expensive elitist restaurant
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: once a socialist. I don't know you figure it out.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I can't, but it's absolutely insane. Don't panic though, don't
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: panic again. It could be a lot like the Deblasio administration.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That was eight years of that. We got through that,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: just fine. We got through the pandemic. We'll get through this. Hey.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Next week is the very final week of MSNBC. It
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: will not exist after next Friday, a week from tomorrow.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: That's it for MSNBC. It will continue as something else.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: They're calling it ms now. Yesterday they gave a little
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: tour of their new studios. Not only has NBC spun
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the company off and gotten rid of it, they've ordered
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: them to get the NBC name and the logo out
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: of their name. They've also evicted them from Rockefeller Center.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: They've been thrown out of the building. They're going to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: what they say it's temporary headquarters. It's kind of and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: steps down from where they are in Rockefeller Center. The
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: MSNBC studios Rockefeller Center are enormous, big, beautiful, lavish studios,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: beautiful green rooms. They're moving to forty third Street Times Square.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It used to be the old New York Times building.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's kind of an old, old old Times Square building.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: They'll be in there. They unveiled the new facilities. It's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: small studios, not like that big you know, that MSNBC
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: studio when they would do that wide shot, how big
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: it was. Well, it's a small studio. I actually have
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: three studios, but they're three small, small studios. They say
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: it's going to be more efficient. It's going to be cheaper,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is what it means. Cheaper. It's going to be much cheaper.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So next Friday is the last day, Friday to fifteenth,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and then I guess on Saturday it'll start. You'll see
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and it'll be in this small little studio. It'll be
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: called ms now, and everything has been cut from you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: they have a resources of NBC News with correspondence and
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: euros all over the world that can turn to the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: vast resources of NBC News. They'll be losing that too,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what they'll do. You can make
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a deal with these networks to use their you can
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: be an affiliate of theirs. So they may try doing that,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: but it's going to be a whole different place ms now.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: It'll start a week from from Saturday. Hey, other good news,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi retires. You know she's now one hundred and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: thirty seven years old, and said, yeah, it's time. Actually
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: we see eighty five. She's eighty five years old. She
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: retires a very very very very powerful figure in the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party in Washington, d C. So it's a big
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: thing that she's leaving. Also, give her credit. She was
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the greatest stock trader insiding and when it comes to
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: insider trading, she was the Warren Buffett of insider trading.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: A lot of these people you're allowed to do it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: It's legal in Congress. You're allowed to engage in insider trading.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And if you're in Congress, you get all kinds information
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: ahead of the public about FDA approval or test results
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: or somebody's going to get a contract. You really have
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: inside information way ahead of the public. And it's legal.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they haven't changed this a lot. Well,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: we do because Congress would have to change it. You're
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: allowed to engage in insider trading, and that's how somebody
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: like Mikey Cheryl doesn't know what the hell she's doing,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: suddenly makes seven million in a stock trade. But give
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Pelosi credit, She's the Warren Buffett of insider trading, probably
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: set the all time record, got herself up to I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: think eight hundred million with the insider trading, hundreds and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of millions. Anyway, we'll get back to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. We've got a lot to talk about. We'll
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: get to that coming up, and we'll take some calls. Next.

  Speaker 11: Hey? With everything that's going on, I'm just a little
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: bit better than perfect hey with this thing with Mikey Cheryl.
• 16:33
  Speaker 11: She says she's gonna freeze the price on the electric
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: bills in New Jersey. Does that mean they can't go
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: down as well?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's probably that's a good point. That's probably what
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: she meant. Yeah, because you got President Trump in office,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: who's going to increase drilling and natural gas. You know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: his all of the above approaches. Everything you got that
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: does bring prices down. And there's more and more and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: more and more drilling, which oil prices down. So you're right,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: that's probably why she wants to freeze it. Let's go
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: Oh?
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I'm tickety boo, but I want to say something. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: agree with you that Leticia James as probably the ito
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: of salary. But I mean, she almost shook down the
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: two party system by bankrupting the love of good candidate.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Is there any consequence of this ever going to happen
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: of what happening?
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: I mean, is she going to face any sort of Oh.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's been indicted. She's been indicted on charges
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: of mortgage fraud. She's about to go to trial. She's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: in fact hired Abby Lowell, who is the top Washington
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: d C attorney. That's the guy to go to. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: she's taken this very seriously if she hired Abby Lowell. Yeah,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: she's already under indictment mortgage fraud, and apparently there's more
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: charges coming because when you get caught with that mortgage fraud,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you then get hit with tax fraud because you're cheating
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the irs, so they'll be tax fraud all sorts of stuff.
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: Come.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's already under indictment, already lawyered up, already headed
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: to court. Let's go to Jim in Brooklyn. Jim, how
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you doing.
• 18:11
  Speaker 14: Doing great? I just had a little tidbit about that
• 18:14
  Speaker 14: Louver heist in France.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: The louver, Oh, the louver, Yes, yes, the lose.
• 18:21
  Speaker 14: Sorry I like to mispronounce French.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, I worked, Were you involved?
• 18:29
  Speaker 14: I wish I get my name out there. But anyway,
• 18:32
  Speaker 14: they not only were they using for the security system
• 18:36
  Speaker 14: Windows XP. You remember that, yeah, I mean that's like
• 18:39
  Speaker 14: fifteen twenty years old. Okay, the password for their entire
• 18:43
  Speaker 14: security system. You're gonna like this, Yeah, you better write.
• 18:47
  Speaker 15: It that wall.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: We don't how much time. It's only a two hour show.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You got to get it. You gotta strut the sentences.
• 18:52
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: It was louver, I mean the lover. Yeah, okay, well
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty good password because a lot of people
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: can't spell how do you spell it? L o U
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: v r E. I think I don't know. Yeah, well
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it's government, you know, government run stuff. They use old, old,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: old equipment. They're on an old Windows XP. But but
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: still it was more to it than that. And they
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: really seriously think that there was an insider or too
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: involved who showed them the security system, showed them all this,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and they still haven't figured out the jewels were stolen.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Was it a collector, some very very wealthy collector, some
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: sort of James Bond villain type of guy who wanted
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: them just to have them and hired this team to
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: do it, or was the idea, I mean, you can't
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: just sell the pieces, they're too well known. Was the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: idea to bust them up and sell all the jewels separately.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: They've caught to two of them. They'll get the rest eventually.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And again they still think they've got some sort of
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: cell phone records, some sort of digital communication between people
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: inside the museum and these guys, so they think there
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: was some inc I'd help. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: how you're doing.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: White Dahak claiming to be a Cuomo sexual when he
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: was standing remember Joy the pandemic.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking about Yea, your phone keeps cutting out.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: You're we're talking about the You gotta remember when Cuomo
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: was popular. That was when he did those daily press conferences,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: those daily briefings during the pandemic, and people used to
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: watch them every day and they, you know, they called
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: them Cuomo sexuals. He was like a matinee star every day.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: And Joy Behart and the others. But you have to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: remember something. It was a lockdown. It was a pandemic.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: You were trapped in your house, a lock a literal lockdown.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: You were trapped in your house and frightened. That's why
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: everybody watched that every day. That's why he became so popular.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: If he tried it now now, right now, just every
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: day at noon, he'll talk for an hour, nobody would watch.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: It's only because you were terrified of the pandemic and
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you couldn't go anywhere. You were stuck there watching it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: So and it was on every channel. So it's not
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that he was great at a press conference. It's not
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that he had anything to say. That's why it worked.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: If he did it right now, every day live YouTube,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: you'll give you nobody. His own family wouldn't watch it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: It's like you remember the when the Iraq War broke out.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: It was kind of scary to a lot of people.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: We were suddenly at war in Iraq and Rumsfeld, Secretary
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: of Defense. Rumsfeld did that daily briefing, same thing happening.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: You go back and look up these articles. Rumsfeld was
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: suddenly a superstar. They all loved Rumsfeld. And you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: once people weren't so scared and they didn't have to
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: watch it, and then nobody they al a sudden, everybody
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: hated him. So again, let's challenge Cuomo do a daily
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: press conference every day right now, twelve noon, every day
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: for an hour. Let's see who you can get to
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: watch it now, just based on your personality. Hey, when
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: we come back, Steve Moore, we hope we'll be with us.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Steve Moore, the great economists. We'll talk about the shutdown,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: on the economy, and a whole lot more coming up
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: next on seven ten Woor.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Mister New York marks them on.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: W alarm. Well, he got a great economist, Steve Moore.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: You should get his book, The Trump Economic Miracle. You'll
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: love it, and you should check out. He runs the
• 22:19

• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Prosperity dot com. Steve Moore, How you doing.
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: Hey, Mark, Well I've been doing better. I'm not real
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: happy about what happened on Tuesday. I'm kind of despondent
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: about it. Actually, that you know, more than half of
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: New York voters voted for socialists. I don't quite understand it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: I don't understand why, you know, when you may know
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: that I met Milton Friedman and became friends with us
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: towards the end of his life. And I remember one
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: of the last dinners I had with him before he died.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: You know, he turned to me, he said, Steve, you
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: know that he was kind of despotting himself. He said,
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: you know, the enduring lesson of the twentieth century for
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: anyone who's historian, was that, you know, socialism, communism, leninism,
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: all these things are a disaster, and a free enterprise,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: free markets are what great prosperity. And yet and he said,
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: yet all these kids are graduating from college thinking the opposite.
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: And he was right.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And we've learned that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: You know, did you see it was the college educated
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: who wrote from MANDONI.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but these colleges about twenty five thirty years ago
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: became indoctrination centers, left wing kooch profess Exactly.
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: How do we think it's actually been going on for
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: more than twenty five years? But they're in doctrinating with
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: kids with completely lunatic ideas. And you know, I was
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: on Fox the other day and Will Kane asked me, Hey,
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: Steve has socialism, communism ever worked anywhere? And I said, well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: it could work in heaven. Yeah, you know where people
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: are angels. But you know, here on earth where we're
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: not angels. You know, you need a you know, where
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: we pursue our self interest. You know, the best way
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: to organize a society is for enterprise.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, listen, it didn't work the first one hundred
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and seventy five thousand times. Maybe it'll work this time exactly.
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: Could be you know, you never you never say number.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: But but listen, I mean the idea, for example, of
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: raising the income tax rate to sixteen and a half
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: percent when you're all ready the highest tax city in
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: the North America and you want to retain your status
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: as the you know, the financial capital of the world
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: with Wall Street, how are you going to do that
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: with a tax that high? It's going to people. I've
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: said it and I said it again. I believe now
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: Wall Street is going to slowly continue to move out
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: of New York and it'll move probably to Dallas, Texas. Well.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: They already have these huge yo Wall Street, the huge
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: operations Dallas and other places. But yes, are those more
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: backroom jobs that it's not actual trading floors, are they.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: Well, they're gonna Yeah, they're going to have a tax
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Texas Stock Exchange. They just opened one a month ago. No,
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: I don't know how far along it is. I don't know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: but you know, I think one thing that may happen is,
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: you know, they're going to have to get a crane
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: and lift the iconic bowl on Wall Street and move
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: it to Dallas, you know. And it's just it's sad
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: because New York is one of our most important, you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: our most important and powerful city, not just in the
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: United States, but I say.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: In the world.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: And uh, we got eight million people live there. And
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: you know what's really sad about this is the people
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: are going to take the biggest hit of these lowest
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: income people because you know, when the millionaires and billionaires leave,
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: they're not going to pay all these taxes and then
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: and I know who's going to pay them.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, one thing about socialism that does work. Whenever
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the government socialists, you know, when they try to help
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the poor, somehow, it always ends up helping the rich
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a lot more, very wealthy people too.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: Well, true, yeah it is, that's appsally true. And and
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: you see that, by the way, like California is another
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: good example. You know, the left always talks about, you know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: the division of wealth and the gap between the rich
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: and poor. You know what state has the biggest gap
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: between rich and poor California, and yet they have the
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: most liberal you know, and the second most you know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: biggest gap between rich and poor is is in New York.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: Now what's going to happen. You're going to raise your
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: taxes right on all the rich people, and they're going
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: to a lot of not all of them, but a
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: lot of them will leave. And you know, when the
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: head of Citadel, Ken Griffin left Chicago's you know, I
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: grew up in Chicago, so I followed Chicago very closely.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: And when I grew up, it was one of the
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: ten greatest cities on the planet. And then they started
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: electing these crazy, uh you know, people like Brandon Johnson,
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: and so these people like Ken Griffin up and left.
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: He's a billionaire and all of a sudden, all that
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: he was the single biggest philanthropist in the city. He
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: you know, gave money to the Museum of Science and Industry,
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: all the homeless shelters, all the food kitchens, all the
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: you know, orphanages, blah blah blah. And then they said, gee,
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: what happened all that money? Why Why isn't he given
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: us money anymore? He didn't live there anymore, you idiots.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: He moved.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he bought a two hundred and fifty
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: million dollar apartment right down this right two blocks over
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: on fifty ninth Street there. So yeah, but I think
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: he technically lives in Florida. So but give people some hope.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Then we go through this with the Blasio. We got
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: through eight years of him, won't it. It'll be okay,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: won't it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: You know, yeah, I think it's not going to be
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: a disaster, but it's going to it's just going to
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: be a demise of New York City. And you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: you know what's most maddening about this, or something you
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: can appreciate is, you know, when in the mid nineties
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: when Rudy Giuliani was elected mayor. And by the way,
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: Rudy was not a saint. I like Rudy a lot,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: but you know, he's not a saint. But he did
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: a lot of things that were just obvious. He cut taxes,
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: he reduced crime, he got rid of the graffiti and
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: the and the failth in the city, and he made
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: it a livaboo city again. And guess what, New York
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: City had a renaissance and it was great to see
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: you could see a week after you lived there. Right
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: during Rudy's retrain, you just got better and better and better.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: And what's so sad is now you've got Mndonnee coming,
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: who's going to go right back to the policies before
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: Rudy came in, and you were just going to see
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: a decline and it's gonna be a steady and slow decline.
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: But it is going to happen because show me anywhere
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: where you raised taxes and it's it's made things better.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Moore, all kinds of rumors coming out of
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Washington that the shutdown will end on Friday. Democrats wanted
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: to use it in the election, that they'll make a
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: deal Friday.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: What do you think, Well, I think they've been in
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: boldened by this election, which you know, which was a
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: big landslide for Democrats, and so now they feel like
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: they don't have to make a deal at least that's
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: what I'm hearing from my Senate friends, that it's that's
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: making it harder to get a deal from them because
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: they want to stick it to Trump. But it's causing
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: real problems. I travel all the time. I missed your
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: Soul last week because I was on the road. And
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: you know, you get to the airports. Now it's chaos,
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: you know, it really is. You know, it seems like
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: twenty percent of the flights are either delayed or canceled,
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: and people you can't get through the security lines and
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: all of this stuff. And you know, the thing that's
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: so maddening is this is exactly what the Democrats wanted.
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: They wanted the kaos they want, the mayhem they want.
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: They wouldn't even open up the they wouldn't even pay
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: the military for goodness sakes.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Well, that's one good thing about the shutdown. We get
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: we have you here. We know you're going to be
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: here every Thursday with the shutdown.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, oh my gosh. But it's you know, look, this
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: is this is all going to turn out. And the
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: good news is, you know a lot of people said, oh,
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: the big problem right now they vote from any because
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: of the affordability crisis. So now I guess the government's
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: just going to give stuff away for free.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, inflation they hit Trump with this that you know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: he's problems with inflation. The it's absolutely not true. Inflation
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: was very, very high. It's coming down slowly, but it's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: coming down, isn't it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: Yes, it is.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah. And you know people are angry, like my wife
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: about how much you pay for you know, coffee and
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: you know, beef and things like that. Well, yeah, that's
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: because they went up by twenty five percent when when
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Biden was president, you know. And now the Democrats are blaming.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: And by the way, why did prices go through the
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: roof Because they spent in borrowed five trillion dollars. That's why.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: So I remember long before Trump won, asking you how
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: long will it take for it to come down really
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: take effect? You said it will take a year to
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: really fix.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: That, and he has. It's been nine months. He's already done.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, we're at we're at three percent inflation right now,
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: which is still above where we want to be. But
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: ladies and gentlemen, it went up to nine point one
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: percent under Biden. So that's one third as high as
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: it was when Biden was present. Uh so we're making
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: progress here. And by the way, the four percent economic
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: growth is what the Atlanta Fed is now saying four percent.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: We never had four percent growth under Biden.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know they throw in healthcare and educational cost.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: That's not really a product of inflation. That's a whole
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: separate problem, isn't it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: The healthcare You know, this is a real danger mark
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: because I have some friends who called me yesterday said
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: they just got their healthcare statement about what's going to
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: happen with their premiums next year that they pay for
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: their health care, and they're going up twenty five to
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: thirty in some cases thirty five percent. That's not Trump
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: didn't wait a minute. Fifteen years ago, didn't we pass
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: something called the Affordable Care Act? I thought that was
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: going to get rid of all these price increases. You know,
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: since we've paid we passed the Affordable Care Act, the
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: cost of healthcare is tripled.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And again not if that's not an inflation, that's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a whole other situation causing that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: It's because we have the government running the healthcare system.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: You know, what was the old line by what was
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: his name? That the humorous PJ.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: O'Rourke.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: He used to say, do you think healthcare is expensive?
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: Now?
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Wait till the government gives it away for free.

• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Wrck to Mark Simone on, Hey, we got a lot
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to get to this hour.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: So, Mom, Donnie, how did this happen? How did we
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: get stuck with this crazy guy with a angry acceptance
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: speech like we've never seen before. He held a press
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: conference yesterday.
• 33:57
  Speaker 16: I think there are a lot of voters for whom
• 33:59
  Speaker 16: the trust comes from the actions that you actually take.
• 34:02
  Speaker 16: Many have, like you know, I've understandably been disappointed by
• 34:05
  Speaker 16: politics and the promises that have been made by many
• 34:07
  Speaker 16: before me. Now my opportunity is actually to deliver it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Now, that's one of the secrets. He looks good, he's
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: got a nice smile, and he talks very fast. You know,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: when you talk like this and you keep going in
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: and talk very quickly, people think he must be very smart. Otherwise,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: how would you talk so fast if you weren't that smart?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: As opposed to Andrew Cuomo, who talks like this, but
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: he's a great salesman, can he actually get anything done.
• 34:30
  Speaker 16: I'm looking forward to showing the power of an example
• 34:32
  Speaker 16: here in New York City, an example of what it
• 34:34
  Speaker 16: means to not just diagnose the despair in working people's
• 34:38
  Speaker 16: lives as the cost of living crisis, but to deliver
• 34:40
  Speaker 16: on it. And that's the contrast between myself and President Trump.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, you use those kind of words. He was
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: going to diagnose the despair of the cost of living crisis.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: It just sounds good. But you know, this is a
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: frightening time for him because this is the first time
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: he's ever going to actually have a job. This is
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: the first job on his resume. I know he was
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: in the legislature, but that assembly that it's like a
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: part time it's not a real job. He's in the
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico right now. Believe it or not. Every year
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: the Democrats here in New York, the Democrats have some
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: sort of I don't know what you call it. I
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: guess they would claim it's a conference, a convention. I
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell it is. It's in Puerto Rico.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Every year they all go down there for a few days,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: a whole weekend in Puerto Rico. They give it some
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: fancy business like name, but it's really just wasting a
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: lot of money in Puerto Rico. But what it really is,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: all the lobbyists fly down there, all the big lobbyists
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: and donors, and they mingle and mix with these politicians
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and all kinds of Weasley deals are made down there.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: So mom, Donnie has flown down there to be a
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: part of all of this. Now, a lot of business leaders, billionaires,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: all these CEOs, they've been quietly reaching out to him.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: There have been a lot of meetings, conversations trying to
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: He's trying to make peace with them, trying to They're
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: trying to start some kind of relationship with him. You
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: know whatever, there's a new mayor. The billionaires all have
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: to get to know him, and what they usually do.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: The billionaire calls around to see who knows this guy,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: who can set up a lunch or dinner or a
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: phone call, and usually they'll find somebody they know who
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: knows him and can arrange the luncheon. If not, every
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: billionaire has lobbyists on the payroll. Big lobbyists are usually
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: very well connected, democratic city hall types, and they arrange
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the meeting and then you meet with the guy and
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you try to start a relationship with him. Now, some
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: of them were easier than others. Bill Deblasia was the
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: easiest because he was looking for looking for billionaires. He
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: would show up at the Al Smith dinner wherever it was,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: where every billionaire in town would be there. He'd just
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: walk right up to me. You have my cell number?
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: No, well, let me give it to you. They know
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: what that man. You call me anytime you need anything.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: We'll be calling you if we need donations. So you
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: can start that kind relationship with Here's more, Amom donny businesses.
• 37:03
  Speaker 16: The city's inability to provide childcare means that businesses often
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: have to provide stipends for that childcare. Right now, the
• 37:09
  Speaker 16: absence of universal childcare means that a family will pay
• 37:12
  Speaker 16: around twenty two five dollars a year.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: See, it sounds very smart, very smart with his stipends
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: and all that, and it's very sounds very academic about it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: And one good thing about academic they can never actually
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: make it work in the real world. But again, the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: socialism stuff. The end result of socialism. Whenever they try
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: this stuff, it screws up the poor even more and
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: it really helps the rich. Nobody profits more in these
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: socialist things than the rich, the oligarchs. That's where that
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: term comes to. The oligarchs. They all came from these
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: socialist places. You know, Like the inflation is coming down slowly,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: but surely, prices are dropping on everything. But they'll say,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: and this is what Democrats did in the election. You know,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: they may say the price so this is down in
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the price of that. But healthcare universities, that's way well,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: uniprice at universities has nothing to do with inflation. It's
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: a whole separate thing. And the price of healthcare all
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: has to do with the government taking it over and
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: making it inefficient. And you know that sort of healthcare
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: is government run inefficiency regulations that drives up that cost.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: It's not a direct result of inflation. But how the
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: hell did Mam Danny do this? Mom? Donnie came out
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: of nowhere. He was an absolutely zero in the polls,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: absolutely zero. He put together a coalition. A lot of
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: it was young young Brooklyn, the gentrifiers, you know, the
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Queen all these hipster young Brooklyn people, and there's a
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: ton of the millions of them, and then a lot
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: of the working class of Queens, the poor of Queens.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: He put them together and just harnessed all this. But
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: there were also a lot of backroom deals that followed.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: You know, way back then, in the beginning, early in
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the year, he started arranging meetings with the CEOs, intimate
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: phone calls and all sorts of things. There's a woman
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: named Kathy Wilde who runs the whatever they call that
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: partnership from New York. It's like a club for CEOs,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: all the billionaires and CEOs. It supposedly does some kind
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: of work. Nobody knows what the hell they do. And
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: the people that work there overpay themselves like crazy. But
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: she made a lot of the introductions. She introduced them
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. They had a series of events
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: and then billionaires got to know him. And it wasn't
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: that he was trying to win them over, become friends
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: and them. He's just trying to calm them down a little.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Then all these young people that got behind Mom Donny,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: he knew how to harness it. And the problem with
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the guy like Cuomo, he's still in the nineteen seventies
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: with bumper stickers and buttons that you wear. Well, that
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean anything one thing about all these young people
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: they want a lot of them have a loneliness to them.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: You know, they're kind of isolated and they're always on
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: their everything is online. They socialize on TikTok and stuff
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: like that, but not in person. So Mam Donnie started
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to create events instead of hanging out bumper stickers and
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: campaign buttons. He did a citywide scavenger hunt, He did
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: a soccer tournament Coney Island, all sorts of events where
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: people showed up and it created a whole social life
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: for them. It also got them organized into a movement
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: and they became volunteers. He recruited a lot of people
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: that way. While he's doing that, he does that CEO
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: charm Offensive met with a lot of people black Rock
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Blackstone all these hedge funds. You're not supposed to know this.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: But while he was wooing all the young, crazy socialist types,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: he's meeting with all the CEOs privately. A lot of
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: them started to develop relations with him. Now, Mam Donnie
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: is a child of two very rich people, from a
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: rich family. So he's quite at ease with all the
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: billionaires and the CEOs, quite natural at ease with them.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: And they kind of saw that and they liked that. Now,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: the problem was Kathy Hochel was against him. Hochel was
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: going to do everything to stop him. She did not
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: like him. But after one of those parades, they went
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: back to the hotel where everybody was headquartering, and he
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: met privately with Hochel and he apologized to her. It
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: was the City Pride parade. He apologized to her from
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: some things he said, and really apologizing, and so he
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: kind of won her over. She was quite surprised, so
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: she said she would consider endorsing him. She said, I'd
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: like you to keep Jessica Tish. I want to endorse you,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: but you got to agree to keep Jessica Tish. And
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: he said he would certainly consider that, and made it
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: sound like he would do that. Then, as harsh criticism,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: criticism of Israel made it impossible to win over Bloomberg,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: he tried Michael Bloomberg. They met at Bloomberg's Midtown headquarters
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: and it was a good hour. They kind of debated
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: management styles. Bloomberg, you know, Bloomberg was mayor twelve years,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: tried to tell him some things about it. But as
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: much as he tried to get along with Bloomberg, Bloomberg
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: kind of saw through him and kind of saw that
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: he wasn't really listening to all this sage advice Bloomberg
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: was giving. So Bloomberg got behind Cuomo. Like a lot
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: of these billionaires, they decided Cuomo's the guy. Now, Cuomo
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: was a disaster in the primaries. He was the worst
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: debater in two debates. He was just awful, and he
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: was the worst campaign. Hardly did anything, very few interviews,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: no rallies, very few speeches, the lazy, outdated old campaign.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: But Bloomberg kept back in him. And then there came
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: a point where Bloomberg privately told people he was done
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: with Cuomo, said, I wasted eight million on this guy
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: in the primary. He just was awful, awful, He just said,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: I just threw away eight million on this guy who
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: can't win. Well. Then he met with mom Donnie again
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: and he kind of got angry at Mom Donni. Mom
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Donnie said things about Israel he didn't like. So Bloomberg
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: decided to go back at the end last couple of
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: weeks to Cuomo. Bloomberg wrote a checks for five million
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: dollars to two big super packs to attack mam Donni
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: like crazy and try to win it for Cuomo. But
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: this was like six days before election day started running
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: all those commercials. It was way too late, and Cuomo
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: didn't help himself at all. He was just caught himself
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: together the last week. But that was about it. Hey,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to Curtis later this hour. We'll go over
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: all of this. Now, Curtis being in the race did
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: not interfere with Cuomo. If Cuomo had gotten every single
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Curtis voter, he still would have lost by three points.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: So it had nothing to do with Curtis. But we'll
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: talk to Curtis later. Now turns out that Curtis talked
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: to Mom Donnie after the election. We'll ask him about that.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Are we done with Cuomo once and for all? Everybody's
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: hoping we never have to deal with Cuomo again. Wall
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Street Journals big article, half a century, fifty years of
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: the Cuomos in New York comes to an end. Mario
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Cuomo for all those years, Andrew Cuomo by his side,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: his campaign director'll be on the sidelines. Now he'll go back,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: maybe back into the private sector. You know, before this
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: may all Race Cuomo had his own private consulting firm.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: He worked as a consultant in his own consulting firm
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: called Innovation Strategies. Apparently he made five million in twenty
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: twenty four, so five million a year. He'll be very happy.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: What does he do for these clients, I don't know,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: high paid consulting work. You know, if you're a former governor,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: former attorney general, supposedly have a lot of expertise and
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: connections with the state government, and you can help businesses
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: and people and make phone calls for him, and a
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: lot of these guys, these billionaires, will pay Cuomo as
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: a consultant just to have him around. He's like a celebrity.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: You can bring to lunch, bring to dinner, have him
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: in your office to meet people, that kind of stuff.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: So he'll go back to that most likely you probably
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: most people believe will never ever ever see him again
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: as a candidate, and let's hope. But Wall Street Journal
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: article about the end of all this now they point
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: out Melissa de Rosa, who worked for him. He thought
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: they had a great chance. There was polling in the
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: beginning that showed him having no chance. She dismissed the polling,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: didn't think it was real. Then the June primary, everything
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: reality came crashing down on them, total loss. But over
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: the summer, his campaign decided to create a new Cuomo. Well,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: the new Cuomo was exactly the same as the old Cooma.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: But they had him making appearances of out there meeting
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: voters for the first time but again and he got
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: good at the in the last week. But it was
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: too little, way, way way too late. You know, Chuck Schumer,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: you always give him credit, you know, for being the
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: biggest weasel ever. There's no bigger weasel than Chuck Schumer.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: So he voted on Tuesday in the election, and the press,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: of course, as to who'd you vote for, he wouldn't say,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Look I voted, That's all he said, Look I voted.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: I look forward to working with the next mayor. He
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say who he voted for. Could you imagine being
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: more of a weasel than that. You're the leading number
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: one Democrat in the state, you won't say who you
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: voted for. There's rumors everywhere the shutdown will get settled
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: in the next day or two. We'll see f AA

• 46:56
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to settle it by then. Shutdown.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: It's an all time record now thirty seven days. The
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: old record was thirty five. Even Democrat Senator John Fetterman says,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: it's all I can't say the word a blanky political game.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: It's the S word. It's all a game. Even he admits, Hey,

  Speaker 2: Curtis will be with us in a few minutes. Let's
• 47:19

• 49:41
  Speaker 10: how many years have you been in New York City?
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of years. We've been through Rudy ed Touch
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: and uh Bloomberg.
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: And I started working in Manhattan nineteen eighty one, walking
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: from Port Authority. I remember how leasy and how disgusting
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: Times Square was, and how it's changed for so much better.
• 50:00
  Speaker 10: It's I'm I'm scared for you, guys, I really am.
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: I'm really concerned about what's going to happen to that city.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Well, where are you in Florida.
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: I'm in Fort Myers, oh house, Yeah, but the higher
• 50:17
  Speaker 10: house prices are already taken up.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you're pretty safe over there Fort Myers.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Although Naples has become a very crowded place. Saint Petersburg
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: is like the new hotspot that's taken off. But you
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: people listening to us right now, Palm Beach, West, Palm Beach,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale, bulkwat, you are going to have a traffic
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: nightmare if you you know you're laughing at all these
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: people are going to move down there. Traffic is already
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: out of control down there. It's gonna be an absolute
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: mess in the east coast of Florida. Let's go to
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 50:49
  Speaker 15: Good morning Mark, Good morning Mara. Let's see how much
• 50:52
  Speaker 15: all these rich people like the owner of Balthazza and
• 50:55
  Speaker 15: Cynthia Nixon like it when, especially Bouthasa, the owner, when
• 51:00
  Speaker 15: you have to pay the bus boy thirty dollars an hour,
• 51:04
  Speaker 15: and that already overpriced plate of pasta goes from twenty
• 51:09
  Speaker 15: five dollars to thirty five dollars, and to you, Cynthia Nixon,
• 51:14
  Speaker 15: you better hire some private security. Because if you call
• 51:18
  Speaker 15: that a husband, that guy Christopher Maloney, if anybody goes
• 51:24
  Speaker 15: to VIC, you don't count on it. Don't count on
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: it to defend you. I know some wise guys who
• 51:32
  Speaker 15: own us.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised you associated with what is guys.
• 51:36
  Speaker 15: This is now, this is the truth, this is real.
• 51:40
  Speaker 15: I live in a very very liberal neighborhood where a
• 51:43
  Speaker 15: lot of these kids that you spoke of that stay
• 51:47
  Speaker 15: in their mother's basement and can't afford to pay their
• 51:50
  Speaker 15: internet bill live. When I went to my polling place,
• 51:55
  Speaker 15: there was more of them voting than during the presidential election.
• 52:02
  Speaker 15: And when I came home I told my girlfriend, I said,
• 52:05
  Speaker 15: I knew we were in trouble, meaning Cuomo and the
• 52:10
  Speaker 15: people who had half for brain in their head when
• 52:13
  Speaker 15: I went to go to go vote. And my advice
• 52:19
  Speaker 15: to all the landlords who are afraid of Mandami raising
• 52:23
  Speaker 15: the taxes target figure out who your liberal tenants are
• 52:28
  Speaker 15: and sock it to them, because that's what I do.
• 52:31
  Speaker 15: I know in advance who the liberals are who live
• 52:35
  Speaker 15: in my properties, and they're the first ones I give
• 52:38
  Speaker 15: it in the How do you know who you are?
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: You see the mail they get you see the flyers
• 52:46
  Speaker 15: they get. I didn't get any. I didn't get any
• 52:49
  Speaker 15: political flyers from Zora and Mandami. I only got I
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: got robo calls from from Rudy for Curtis, and also
• 52:58
  Speaker 15: from that other Republican Janine Aquafreda. I get him from
• 53:03
  Speaker 15: all the because unfortunately for the city, I still have
• 53:07
  Speaker 15: to have a landline because I owe properties and stuff,
• 53:10
  Speaker 15: and you can't just have a cell phone number.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Vincent, great stuff, great call as always, thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. You know, if you're starting,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: if you're getting all these left wing flyers, if you're
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: getting Mam Donnie mail and all that stuff, it means
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you've contributed to a Democrat because if you ever made
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: any kind of a political donation, even for five bucks,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: you then end up on every mailing list from everybody
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: in the same party. In other words, you contribute to
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: this Democratic candidate. Well, next year, all the other Democratic
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: candidates by his mailing list, and they got your so
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: you can. It's a good good way to check, just
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: see what kind of mail they're getting. Hey, when we
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: come back, Curtis will be with us. Curtis Sliwa. Let's
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: get the aftermath or report from the election. Election night,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I heard he talked to mom Donnie, and we'll ask
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: him about that and more coming up next on seven
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: to ten wor the Mark Simone Show on sevent WR. Well,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: hope we'll talk to Curtis in a moment. What happened?
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: We lost him. We had him, You had him and
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: you talked to him, right, Okay, so then it dropped.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Then we can't get him back. So this knowing Curtis,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: he's traveling somewhere, He's somewhere cell signal, I don't know,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: but we'll keep trying and we'll get him back. He
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: could be on the train somewhere. But you know, Curtis,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: he could be anywhere anywhere in the city. Although it's
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: hard to go anywhere in New York City and not
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: get a cell signal. You know, out in the suburbs,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: do you have all these dead spots? It's really I
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: don't know how people live like that, you know, well,
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're in the suburbs, there's always an area.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: If you're in Long Island, for instance, if you're on
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Northern Boulevard as you head into East Norwich, Laurel Holl
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: you know you're gonna lose the cell. There's no cell
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: signal for like two miles around there. Westchester. You know,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of areas there's just no cell service.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: The Hamptons. If you could be in Southampton, the nicest
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: of the Hampton's, beautiful Southampton, unbelievable no cell service. East Hampton,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: very little cell service. You know why because nobody wants
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: a cell tower near their house, and nobody will let
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: them put it up, so it can drive you crazy.
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Also, if you live in these across the street over
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: there where they got this over on Billionaire's Row, they
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: got these hundred story apartment buildings. Have you ever see
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: those beautiful apartments they show you in the ads. Look
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: at this one hundredth floor, the ninety eighth floor. You know,
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: one thing they never tell you there's no cell service
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: up there. None. You know, most cell towers in New
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: York City are around the twentieth floor. They figured out
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: that's the perfect spot to hit the ground, is the
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: twentieth floor, and it'll go down to the ground and
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: up and we'll go up to about the fiftieth floor,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: and after that you're not getting any cell service. So
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: it is a pain in the neck to live like that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: And if you live up there on the hundredth floor,
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: your cable company will give you some cell signal, but
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: if you lose your cable, you'll lose your cell service too.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: So what happened with Curtis? We find him? Oh, we
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: got him all right. Curtis, of course was the best
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: candidate in the race, the only crime fighter in the race.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: And it's great to have him back with us. Curtis sliwa,
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: how you doing good?
• 56:35
  Speaker 12: Except my phone just went dead. Lucky Nancy was side
• 56:39
  Speaker 12: by side with me, so I'm talking talking to you
• 56:42
  Speaker 12: on her phone. Everything's fine, calling up all my supporters,
• 56:46
  Speaker 12: you know, thanking them for the nine months that we
• 56:49
  Speaker 12: were on the campaign trail twenty hours a day of
• 56:51
  Speaker 12: a twenty four hour day, and obviously getting ready. We're
• 56:56
  Speaker 12: the loyal opposition. We're not moving, We're in proving. And
• 57:02
  Speaker 12: as I said on my concession speech that night, when
• 57:06
  Speaker 12: I knew that it was over, I said, look, the
• 57:10
  Speaker 12: moment that zon Mondami mayor elect tries to impose socialist
• 57:15
  Speaker 12: concepts and ideas into the running of the city, when
• 57:19
  Speaker 12: he continues to weekend and render our police impotent, and
• 57:23
  Speaker 12: when public safety gets worse than it is now, he
• 57:26
  Speaker 12: will have me and my followers as his worst night mail.
• 57:30
  Speaker 12: We will fight, fight, fight, Mark. We're not going anywhere.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that now, Is this true? I read
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: that election that you called Mom, Donnie, you spoke to him.
• 57:39
  Speaker 12: Sure, this is what you're supposed to do. You get
• 57:42
  Speaker 12: a concession speech, you call the person, you say to him, congratulations,
• 57:48
  Speaker 12: and we want him to do well. You always wanted
• 57:51
  Speaker 12: Mayor to do well.
• 57:51
  Speaker 13: Look.
• 57:52
  Speaker 12: I tried calling Eric Adams the last time twenty twenty one,
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: and that guy, who I knew was going to be
• 57:58
  Speaker 12: a complete disaster. You still do the courtesy of making
• 58:01
  Speaker 12: the call. I would have wished him good luck, because
• 58:04
  Speaker 12: if they do well, we do well. But I also
• 58:07
  Speaker 12: clearly warned in my concession speed speech that we will
• 58:11
  Speaker 12: be here, we will be fighting. We are not going
• 58:14
  Speaker 12: to leave. So it's a two edge short. This is
• 58:17
  Speaker 12: what you're supposed to do.
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but you haven't anybody else did it.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: What kind of conversations you have with mom, Donnie? What
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: do you say to you?
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: No, very brief.
• 58:25
  Speaker 12: He said thank you, and I said we'll be talking
• 58:28
  Speaker 12: in the future. But It's not going to be a
• 58:31
  Speaker 12: happy talk, I think, And he said, thank you again,
• 58:36
  Speaker 12: because you know me. I warn you an events, Mark,
• 58:38
  Speaker 12: I always do. The heat is going to come. And
• 58:42
  Speaker 12: I'm an organizer. I'm a community organizer. I go into
• 58:46
  Speaker 12: communities when you need to battle city Hall, when it's
• 58:49
  Speaker 12: David versus Goliath, I organize the people. And that's what
• 58:53
  Speaker 12: I will continue to do here in the city.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: All right, now, let's point out a couple of things
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: you did not cost Cuomo the race. Cuomo, if he
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: got first. Of all, the myth that if you dropped out,
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: he'd get all your voters was insane. Obviously all your
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: voter's not going to go to him. But even if
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: they did, he still wouldn't have won. He's still would
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: have lost by a couple of points. Said, can you
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: assure us at least we will never hear from Andrew
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Cromo again as a candidate.
• 59:17
  Speaker 12: No, no, no, because he's like Napoleon. He will shrink
• 59:21
  Speaker 12: back to his island of elbow, best known as the Hampton.
• 59:24
  Speaker 9: He will lurk.
• 59:25
  Speaker 12: Mark. You know this guy, he is obsessed with becoming
• 59:29
  Speaker 12: relevant again. He will look at every angle. He will look.
• 59:33
  Speaker 12: He will do his internal polls, because remember, he's sitting
• 59:35
  Speaker 12: on millions and millions of dollars that he got for
• 59:38
  Speaker 12: that book that he wrote in the middle of the
• 59:40
  Speaker 12: lockdown and pandemic. Five million dollars that he wrote with
• 59:43
  Speaker 12: his staff that he should have been forced to give back,
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: but sits on it and counts the interest. He will
• 59:49
  Speaker 12: be plotting his comeback. I'm telling you, Mark, I've known
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: this guy. You know, We've been like two scorpions in
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: a brandy glass. I hate him. I despise him because
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: his failures as governor and Eric adams failures as mayor
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: paved the way for a guy a year ago. They're
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 12: not even his neighbors knew Jorhanmandami.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: But wouldn't you say, come back where what you run for? Senate?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: What would he do?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 12: You know him, He'll plot, He'll he'll deal with every
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 12: angle he still has. You know, imagine this Mark. He
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: basically he's like a bumblebee without a stinger because he
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 12: always would threaten people with vengeance of Vandetta. That's how
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: the Working Families Party got so strong. I don't think
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: people understand that when Zorhan Mandami voted for himself and
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: voted down the Working Families Party line. That was on purpose.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 12: That was an f you to Andrew Como, who, if
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 12: you remember, tried to destroy that party when how dares
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 12: she sent you a Nixon of Sex in the City
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 12: run against him as governor on the Working Families party line.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 12: You know what he he succeeded in doing and trying
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 12: to destroy them, destroyed the New York State Reform Party
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 12: that I was chairman of, the Libertarian Party, the Green Party,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 12: the Femnist Party, and he just made the Working Families
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 12: Party stronger. And they came back and they bit him
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 12: right in the neck because this is a guy who
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: lives for vendettas and bloodshudes, and they got him good.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 12: You know, look, he's an evil person. He's the prince
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 12: of darkness. But he will continue to plot his comeback
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 12: and he will change, and he will he will act
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 12: like what he said yesterday, he didn't really say as
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 12: you saw all during these two failed campaigns of his
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 12: against or on Mandami.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, you know, nobody was a bigger booster of
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo than Donald Trump, President Trump promoting him, Like
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: did you notice yesterday President Trump twice called him a thug.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: So I guess that changed your relationship.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 12: Well, I think you know, Mark, that many of the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 12: people who were voting for me originally listened to the president.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: And you know there was Elon Musk and Stephen Miller
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 12: and everybody else piling on me. The masters of the
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 12: universe said, determined the Courtius Lee was not going to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 12: become a mayor, was not going to have a fair chance.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 12: But that's politics. And Mark, you've been around this game
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: for so long. How many times have we had discussions
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: where I say, this is the dirtiest business that exists.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: The only difference between this and organized crime, of which
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 12: I've had my battles is you don't have a dead
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 12: body at the end of the line, except if it's
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 12: involving the Clinton family. Other than that, they will have
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 12: dinner with you at night. They'll pat you on the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 12: back so hard you have to go for a chiropractic adjustment.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 12: Everybody is singing home by yard and they have a
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 12: press conference in the morning in which they stab you
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 12: in the back. It happens again and again and again.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 12: And this is the business that I have chosen. So
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 12: I have no regrets.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you I'm sure the answer is no.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: But did you take a day off and rest at
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: least after the camp thing?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 12: Absolutely not. Remember, I have a responsibility to call everybody
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 12: who put their lives on hold for nine months, you know,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 12: went to the mats against the most powerful people in
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 12: the world, the most powerful forces, and continue to grind
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: it out. And I wanted them to hear from me,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 12: not a text, you know, not an email, a personal
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: call in which I could personally thank them and say, hey,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 12: this is one battle of many battles to come. We're
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 12: not going away. Remember Richard Nixon said you won't have
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 12: me to kick around anymore when he lost. Actually the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 12: election was stolen from him by JFK. I'm the person
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: who has told everybody you will have me to kick
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: around because I ain't going nowhere.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Well that's good. Here now we only like a minute left.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: What are you planning to do next? Radio? What are
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: you going to do?
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 12: No? No, no, no, no, you know I'm never going
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 12: back to that old boh yeah you'll no, no, never
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 12: going back to w ABC. I'm sorry you guys. W
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 12: R have been fair and square to me, but I
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: have to continue to organize. We know what Zoran Mondami
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 12: intends to do. And if we don't organize in advance,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 12: stame on us. We've seen Zora Mondami. He made it
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 12: very specifically he's going to war in his acceptance speech.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 12: I mean that was a difference on Mondami March tomorrow. Yeah,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 12: that was in the affable, smiling kumbay. We love everybody,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 12: this whole pool. No. No, he basically threw the lightning
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 12: bolts down and said war, war, war, And there's nobody
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 12: who loves going to war politically better and more often
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 12: than your truly Curtis Lee, and I will lead the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 12: loyal opposition.
