  Speaker 3: knew what was going to happen. And all these people,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: these politicians jumped in front of a microphone before they

• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Tony and White Plains. Tony, how you doing, Yeah, Mark.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Mark, those hippoprists over there in the other station at ABC.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Don't pick on them. They're all nice people.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're the reason why they got zoron because
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: especially Salato over there, domin.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Catta, I don't pick friends of mine. Don't pick on them,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: But he started from day one Kurts came when you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you know why he kept saying that, because he was
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: afraid if Curtis did win.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, you know why they kept saying that. They
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: convinced themselves to that. You know, you can't get mad
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: at somebody for their uh, they're the.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Reason why they got zoron, And they're saying that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Well, if you got to blame somebody for Zorn, you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: got to blame Andrew Cuomo. This is all his fault.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: He came along and it didn't just start with the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: election season. He started about two years ago, working on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the whole crowd there, the whole Upper East side, the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Hampton's Palm Beach. He was whining and dining all these donors,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: these big they're nice people, the big donors, but they're
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the dumbest people in the world when it comes to politics.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They always backed the wrong But he convinced them that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: only he can win. I don't know how the hell
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: he convinced pretty. It's a fascinating thing to study. Here's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the guy who just got run out of office with
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the police chasing him. Here's a guy who left and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: resigned in disgrace two years later. He's convincing them he
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: could be elected. That's like Nixon two years after Watergate
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: thinking he can run again. Give Elliot Spitzer some credit.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: At least he's a classy guy about it. He got
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: run out of office with the criminal kind of things
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hanging around over his head. He knows he can't run again.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But Cuomo convinced them he could run again. He completely
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: screwed up the Democratic primary by scaring Eric Adams out
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of it. Had been no Cuomo, Eric Adams would have
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: run for reelection, would have been in the primary, probably
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: could have won the Democratic primary. He can out. Cuomo's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the world's worst debater. He got beaten to a pulp
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: by Montani in two debates. Adams would have done better.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: He's not the most articulate guy in the world, but
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: he can be charming in those debates. He probably would
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: have got the nomination and that would have been the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: end of it. Let's go to Bob in Montvale, New Jersey. Bob,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: how you doing good?
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Mard Thanks a lot, But I don't want to like
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: keep loading up on the Somalians. But you know, in
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Maine there's a very similar problem, but probably worse. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: a few years ago there was that mass shooting there,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: eighteen people murdered.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all the money.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: That was collected gofund me was directed to Somalian NGO.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Is there. Oh yeah, No, it's bad everywhere. In fact,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: people think California may set the all time record for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this kind of fraud. They haven't started to look into
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it yet, and they think Illinois's got a huge, huge
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: number when it comes to this kind of fraud. It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all over the place. And the Somalians in the fraud
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: schemes of Minnesota are so thrilled about this shooting yesterday
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: because it gets them off the front page for a while.
• 4:49

  Speaker 6: her partner should have worried about not putting themselves in danger.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Actually one of them.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: She's married to a woman, and the woman, the partner,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: said this is all my fault. I shouldn't have brought
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: her into this situation. I shouldn't have brought her to this protest.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Right. I'm glad you said that. But the thing is you,
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: as a mother, you do not put yourself in that
