Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Nowor presents no Mark Simon Shaw. Hey, it's Friday. We
- 0:08Speaker 1: got a lot to get to. We'll go over the
- 0:10Speaker 1: Mayor Old debate in just a second. We'll get to
- 0:12Speaker 1: President Trump meeting with Zelenski today in the White House.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Then also at the end of the day, end of
- 0:18Speaker 1: the afternoon, heading tomorrow Lago for the first time, we'll
- 0:22Speaker 1: get to John Bolton. By the way, this is not lawfair.
- 0:25Speaker 1: They keep a lawfair going on. Lawfair is when you
- 0:27Speaker 1: get indicted in four cities at the same time. Bolton,
- 0:33Speaker 1: as Joe Pashi would say, in Casino, this guy was
- 0:36Speaker 1: begging to be made an example of. So we'll get
- 0:38Speaker 1: to him. Coming up, we'll get to Letitia James, even
- 0:42Speaker 1: more dirt coming out about her family. A lot of
- 0:45Speaker 1: stuff to get to. Last night's debate, Curtis won the debate.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Now here's the only problem. I don't know if anybody noticed.
- 0:55Speaker 1: That's the problem. Curtis was great, but there was no
- 1:00Speaker 1: clear moment, knockout punch, incredible moment, nothing super viral. And
- 1:05Speaker 1: the other the real problem. This is a Channel four
- 1:08Speaker 1: WNBC TV and they did this last time. Very biased.
- 1:12Speaker 1: When it comes to running debates, they should never be
- 1:14Speaker 1: allowed to do a debate. So the moderators were very
- 1:17Speaker 1: careful to keep any attention away from Curtis. They tried
- 1:21Speaker 1: to give Curtis as little time as possible. At one
- 1:24Speaker 1: point in the debate, he actually said to them, you
- 1:26Speaker 1: guys are trying to marginalize me. You're trying to keep
- 1:28Speaker 1: me out of this. Here's basically what happened. Mamdanni, who
- 1:34Speaker 1: was a great debater, he was phenomenal in the primary debates.
- 1:37Speaker 1: He just wiped out Cuomo in this debate. He was good,
- 1:41Speaker 1: not as great as he was in the earlier debates
- 1:43Speaker 1: because he was being too careful. He had all his
- 1:47Speaker 1: slick salesman mam donni's stuff going on, but he was
- 1:50Speaker 1: hedging and being a little more vague in his answers,
- 1:53Speaker 1: covering himself. So, but the good news for him is
- 1:56Speaker 1: Cuomo was just awful, as awful as he is when
- 2:01Speaker 1: he talks like this, and it was just too slow.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Curtis very You know, Curtis is the only professional debater
- 2:09Speaker 1: in the race. Curtis has done one hundred thousand debates.
- 2:13Speaker 1: He's been doing this professionally for thirty five years. Mom, Donnie,
- 2:17Speaker 1: I don't know how it happened. But he's a very
- 2:19Speaker 1: very good debater. Cuomo a bumbling, stumbling, weak debater. And
- 2:25Speaker 1: he doesn't look right anymore. You know, it was a
- 2:28Speaker 1: good looking guy, but he's got that ozembic face now
- 2:31Speaker 1: and he got himself too skinny. I don't know why
- 2:33Speaker 1: he did that. He tries to project this tough guy.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You know, if you want to project a tough guy,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I means you got to have a little bulk to you.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You can't be a toothpick. It doesn't And the problem
- 2:44Speaker 1: is he projects weakness when he talks, and if you
- 2:47Speaker 1: look that skinny, it just enhances that whole weak look.
- 2:50Speaker 1: So he's got to put some It was a little
- 2:52Speaker 1: too late, but he should have kept some weight on
- 2:56Speaker 1: John pedorit's the great political analyst. Here's what he's said
- 3:00Speaker 1: about Cuomo last night. And Pedoritz is a guy who
- 3:04Speaker 1: should be a Cuomo fan and a Democrat. But Podoritz
- 3:08Speaker 1: says about Cuomo, for a man who's running multiple elections
- 3:13Speaker 1: over the past twenty five years, Cuomo was shockingly inarticulate
- 3:17Speaker 1: and unable to sustain a single argument or a single answer.
- 3:22Speaker 1: There were moments when Cuomo sounded more like Luca Brazzi
- 3:26Speaker 1: stumbling through his thanks to Don Corleone for the wedding
- 3:29Speaker 1: invitation than he did like his own famously silver tongued father. Yeah,
- 3:35Speaker 1: that's a good point. Mario Cuomo was in his day
- 3:38Speaker 1: the greatest orator in American politics. He's a phenomenal debater.
- 3:43Speaker 1: He was one of my debate coaches. We used to
- 3:45Speaker 1: when he was governor. He would come on once a
- 3:47Speaker 1: month and we'd come into the studio, we'd have a
- 3:49Speaker 1: one hour debate, and then afterwards he would stay and
- 3:53Speaker 1: he would give me a whole breakdown of everything I
- 3:56Speaker 1: did wrong. I mean, it was so helpful. He would
- 3:58Speaker 1: show me every year, dude, you did this, do this.
- 4:00Speaker 1: We's just the best debate coach in the world. So
- 4:04Speaker 1: if he did that for me, I would imagine did
- 4:07Speaker 1: that for Andrew times a million. So I don't know
- 4:10Speaker 1: what happened. It's you know, it's the same thing with
- 4:12Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton when she's running at that time. Bill Clinton
- 4:16Speaker 1: is the greatest orator in American politics. She's married to
- 4:19Speaker 1: the greatest political speaker in the world, and she can't talk.
- 4:22Speaker 1: She's horrible in debate, she's horrible in speeches. Whatever it
- 4:26Speaker 1: is it didn't rub off or I don't know, if
- 4:28Speaker 1: you're too close to the person, maybe you don't take
- 4:30Speaker 1: the coaching the way you should. So the next debate
- 4:34Speaker 1: will be Wednesday night next week, Wednesday night. Now, the
- 4:37Speaker 1: problem with that it's New York one, which nobody sees,
- 4:41Speaker 1: and the debate moderator, this is a horrible choice, should
- 4:45Speaker 1: recuse himself. It's Errol Lewis, who's the most partisan left
- 4:51Speaker 1: wing guy in the world. That's really inappropriate to have
- 4:55Speaker 1: this guy run a debate. It's absolutely ridiculous, so that
- 5:00Speaker 1: it's probably going to go well for anybody with him
- 5:02Speaker 1: doing it. But here's some of last night's debate, and
- 5:05Speaker 1: one of the questions was experience.
- 5:06Speaker 2: In other words, what these n blingman said is he
- 5:09Speaker 2: has no experience.
- 5:10Speaker 3: What I don't have an experience, I make up for
- 5:11Speaker 3: an integrity, And what you don't have an integrity, you
- 5:14Speaker 3: could never make up for an experience.
- 5:15Speaker 4: We have the architect and we have the apprentice of
- 5:19Speaker 4: no Cash fail, which was made in disjaction.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Yeah. So, now, by the way, Cuomo has been doing
- 5:24Speaker 1: a lot of interviews today and I notice if you
- 5:26Speaker 1: listened to him a week ago doing interviews, it was
- 5:29Speaker 1: all about how bad mom Dottie is, how great he is. Well,
- 5:31Speaker 1: if you're listening today doing interviews, he was really going
- 5:34Speaker 1: after Curtis. He was trying to hit Curtis hard, which
- 5:37Speaker 1: means he feels Curtis was very, very good last night.
- 5:41Speaker 1: He feels Curtis did a lot of damage because he
- 5:43Speaker 1: seems very busy trying to take out Curtis.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Now, this is no job for on the job training.
- 5:52Speaker 2: And if you look at the failed mayors, they're ones
- 5:54Speaker 2: that had no management experience. Don't do it again.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I have the experience of having serve in the New
- 6:00Speaker 3: York State Assembly for five years and watching a broken
- 6:03Speaker 3: political system. And what all of that experience has shown me,
- 6:06Speaker 3: which mister Cuomo can't seem to understand, is that it
- 6:09Speaker 3: is far too expensive him and far too hard for
- 6:12Speaker 3: New Yorkers to afford to live in this city.
- 6:14Speaker 2: He literally has never had a job. On his resume,
- 6:17Speaker 2: it says he in turned for his mother. You got
- 6:19Speaker 2: our hurricane. You were God forbid a nine to eleven
- 6:23Speaker 2: a health pandemic.
- 6:24Speaker 3: And if we have a health pandemic, then why would
- 6:26Speaker 3: New Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors
- 6:29Speaker 3: to their death and nursing homes.
- 6:30Speaker 1: See, this is Cuomo's main problem. This is what happened
- 6:34Speaker 1: to him in the second debate in the primary, he
- 6:35Speaker 1: armed himself with all kinds of attacks. Cuomo had such
- 6:39Speaker 1: a horrible record as governor, did so many bad things
- 6:41Speaker 1: as governor. No matter what he tries to hit Mam
- 6:44Speaker 1: Dommie with, Mam Donnie's got these kind of comebacks. Cuomo
- 6:47Speaker 1: created the whole crime wave with his no bail, no jail,
- 6:50Speaker 1: with his defund the police. He actually did defund the
- 6:53Speaker 1: police with his closing all the prisons, letting the prisoners out,
- 6:57Speaker 1: redoing the parole board so they let all the prisoners
- 7:00Speaker 1: at I was just horrible. And if you listen to them,
- 7:03Speaker 1: to him now trying to he's finally trying to explain
- 7:05Speaker 1: away some of that. He can't do it. He can't
- 7:09Speaker 1: do it. He's the no bail, no jail was the
- 7:12Speaker 1: worst thing anybody ever did to New York. And he's
- 7:14Speaker 1: the guy that pushed that. He didn't just sign it,
- 7:16Speaker 1: he pushed it in speech after speech. It was just horrible.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So he can't explain that away. Even the don't close
- 7:25Speaker 1: Rikers Island. He was the guy pushing to close Rikers Island.
- 7:28Speaker 1: He's now arguing, well, I didn't say closed the island.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I meant closed the building. He the double talk just
- 7:35Speaker 1: won't work. Israel, obviously was a big topic.
- 7:37Speaker 2: The assemblyman still won't say he believes that Israel has
- 7:40Speaker 2: the right to exist as a Jewish state. He is
- 7:42Speaker 2: a divisive personality.
- 7:44Speaker 3: I've said time and again that I recognize Israel's right
- 7:47Speaker 3: to exist. I've said that I will not recognize anything Jewish,
- 7:50Speaker 3: said that I will not a Jewish state if I
- 7:52Speaker 3: would be allowed to finish that, I would not recognize
- 7:55Speaker 3: any states right to exist with a system of hierarchy
- 7:58Speaker 3: on the basis of race, of religion.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Jews are under attack now more than ever before, and
- 8:03Speaker 4: I don't believe either of you have the capability. And
- 8:06Speaker 4: he'll protecting that with increase au Semitism.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, Curtis went on to point out all the
- 8:11Speaker 1: times where there were horrible, horrible attacks on Jews and
- 8:14Speaker 1: he was there with the Guardian Angels to protect them. So,
- 8:17Speaker 1: if you watch the whole thing, Curtis had a great night.
- 8:20Speaker 1: But again, I don't know if it was enough, and
- 8:23Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody noticed that he won the debate,
- 8:26Speaker 1: but the moderators were trying very hard to keep the
- 8:29Speaker 1: spotlight away from Curtis. This was also the Muslim vote
- 8:34Speaker 1: was in there a lot. Cuomo trying to suddenly go
- 8:37Speaker 1: to mosques and all that, something he never did before.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I don't think in any way the Assemblyman is representative
- 8:43Speaker 2: of the Muslim community. Many of his positions don't even
- 8:46Speaker 2: follow the Muslim faith.
- 8:49Speaker 3: You know, it took Andrew Cuomo being beaten by a
- 8:51Speaker 3: Muslim candidate in the Democratic primary for him to set
- 8:54Speaker 3: foot in a mosque. It's been an hour or twenty
- 8:56Speaker 3: minutes of this debate and we haven't heard Governor Cuomo
- 8:59Speaker 3: say the word affordability. That's why he lost the primary.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I think making that the real problem. If
- 9:08Speaker 1: it's affordability, if that's the issue, that's the real problem.
- 9:10Speaker 1: If there's an affordability crisis in New York, if things
- 9:13Speaker 1: are bad here, well then you got to get rid
- 9:16Speaker 1: of the Democrats because they've been running the whole place
- 9:18Speaker 1: for fifteen years. They've been running everything. They've been the mayor,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the governor, the legislature, of the city council. Everything has
- 9:24Speaker 1: been run by Democrats. So if it's a disaster in
- 9:28Speaker 1: the crisis, blame them obviously. If it's that bad after
- 9:31Speaker 1: fifteen years of them, you switch parties, you switch to
- 9:34Speaker 1: something else. Here's more of the debate. Curtis now Curtis's
- 9:37Speaker 1: number one issued police crime with.
- 9:39Speaker 4: This new police Outrage unit. Well, in danger women and
- 9:44Speaker 4: children in domestic violence situation, they will be killed, they
- 9:47Speaker 4: will be made.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Now they went into that social workers will answer domestic
- 9:54Speaker 1: violence calls. As cops will tell you, one of the
- 9:57Speaker 1: most dangerous things you can respond to is a domestic
- 10:00Speaker 1: violence called. People get killed there. So you don't want
- 10:02Speaker 1: to send social workers in. And as Ray Kelly and
- 10:05Speaker 1: all the great experts have explained, NYPD has tried that
- 10:09Speaker 1: through the years a million times. They've tried that program
- 10:12Speaker 1: where social workers respond to domestic violence, and they find
- 10:17Speaker 1: a few things. Well, A, it doesn't work. It's never worked.
- 10:20Speaker 1: They've tried it a number of times over the decades.
- 10:22Speaker 1: It doesn't work. And B the social workers do not
- 10:25Speaker 1: want to do this. They want the cops with them
- 10:28Speaker 1: on this. So and Cuomo keeps trying that. No, he
- 10:32Speaker 1: has no experience. You know, experience is a good thing.
- 10:36Speaker 1: If you were good at it if you had a
- 10:38Speaker 1: lot of experience and you were horrible at it. Cuomo
- 10:40Speaker 1: did so many awful things. This governor, I don't know it.
- 10:43Speaker 1: May have the experience, but it's not good experience.
- 10:45Speaker 2: He has no experience. And this is not a job
- 10:48Speaker 2: for someone who has no management experience to run three
- 10:50Speaker 2: hundred thousand people, no financial experience to run one hundred
- 10:54Speaker 2: and fifteen billion dollar budget. He literally has never had
- 10:57Speaker 2: a job.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Yeah, he kept trying that. I don't know if that
- 11:00Speaker 1: works with anybody.
- 11:01Speaker 4: Jews don't trust that you can be there for them
- 11:05Speaker 4: when they are victims of anti Semitic attacks.
- 11:08Speaker 3: And what I'm looking to do as the first Muslim
- 11:10Speaker 3: mayor of the city is to ensure that we bring
- 11:13Speaker 3: every New Yorker together, Jewish new Yorkers, Muslim new Yorkers,
- 11:16Speaker 3: every single person that calls the city home.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, this race is going to be about turnout.
- 11:22Speaker 1: The way you get a Deblasio elected is you have
- 11:24Speaker 1: eighteen percent turnout if nobody shows up, just the you know,
- 11:28Speaker 1: the energized far left shows up and you get a Deblasio.
- 11:31Speaker 1: So if it's the same thing happened in the primary,
- 11:33Speaker 1: if it's just eighteen percent. You know, that's Mom Donnie.
- 11:36Speaker 1: And if you can get it presidential year kind of
- 11:39Speaker 1: a turnout, If you can get it to eighty percent,
- 11:42Speaker 1: then it's not necessarily Mom Donnie. So you got to
- 11:44Speaker 1: get it up to eighty percent. Cuomo cannot beat Mam Donnie.
- 11:47Speaker 1: It's impossible. He's been tested against Mom Donnie and the primaries.
- 11:51Speaker 1: He stinks at beating Mam Donnie. I was talking a
- 11:55Speaker 1: lot of the big, big, big donors yesterday. These are
- 11:58Speaker 1: the ones that back Cuomo. And as we always explained
- 12:02Speaker 1: to you, the big donors are always wrong every time
- 12:05Speaker 1: when it comes to politics. And when you try to explain,
- 12:10Speaker 1: we've seen that Cuomo is a disaster against Mam Donni.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Apparently the excuse he's given them and they're all falling
- 12:16Speaker 1: for this. They all keep repeating this. Well, that was
- 12:19Speaker 1: ranked choice, and it was the ranked choice that Donnie
- 12:22Speaker 1: only beat Cuomo because of the ranked choice. This is
- 12:25Speaker 1: absolutely not true. If there were no ranked choice, he
- 12:29Speaker 1: would have beaten Cuomo in a much quicker Forget the
- 12:33Speaker 1: rank choice. It had nothing to do with the primary.
- 12:36Speaker 1: First first round of the primary, Cuomo got wiped out
- 12:40Speaker 1: by Mom Donnie. Mam Donnie beat him by one hundred
- 12:42Speaker 1: thousand votes. This is out of seven hundred thousand. Ma'm
- 12:47Speaker 1: donnie beat him by one hundred thousand votes. It wasn't
- 12:49Speaker 1: even close. Ranked choice was not a factor. Obviously, taxes
- 12:53Speaker 1: came up. That's a big issue.
- 12:54Speaker 2: He's going to raise taxes. All of He's going to
- 12:56Speaker 2: raise taxes stayed wide on corporations. But the money's only
- 13:00Speaker 2: going to go to New York City. That could never happen.
- 13:03Speaker 2: It's not just that the governor wouldn't support it, it's impossible.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, Quoto not an effective debater. He's got that
- 13:11Speaker 1: voice where he goes into that sing song. It doesn't
- 13:14Speaker 1: sound good when you do it in the debate. Sound
- 13:18Speaker 1: like a housewife in Long Island. You do that.
- 13:21Speaker 3: What I tell the President is if he ever wants
- 13:22Speaker 3: to come for New Yorkers in the way that he
- 13:24Speaker 3: has been, he's going to have to get through me
- 13:26Speaker 3: as the next mayor of the city.
- 13:27Speaker 4: But if you try to get tough with Trump, the
- 13:30Speaker 4: only people who are going to suffer from that are
- 13:32Speaker 4: the people of New York.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Citykay, when I'm fighting for New York, i am not
- 13:36Speaker 2: going to stop. And I'll tell you something else. If
- 13:38Speaker 2: the Assemblyman is elected, Mayor Donald Trump will take over
- 13:42Speaker 2: New York City and it will be Mayor Trump.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Who runs New York City.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Now here's the
- 13:52Speaker 1: only hope here. Curtis did win. I don't think there
- 13:55Speaker 1: was enough of a knockout punch, or enough of a
- 13:57Speaker 1: moment to go super viral, or enough people. I don't know.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I don't know. You can never tell after a debate.
- 14:04Speaker 1: You got to wait a couple of days for it
- 14:05Speaker 1: all sink in. And remember now it goes all over
- 14:08Speaker 1: the place. It's all over social media, streaming, YouTube, it's everywhere.
- 14:12Speaker 1: It takes a few days for everybody to see it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: So we'll see what the effect is, probably by monday.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I don't know. You can't tell. Now, how do you
- 14:23Speaker 1: stop mom Donnie? If this isn't going to stop him, Well,
- 14:27Speaker 1: there are all those investigations into the money this guy
- 14:31Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. Found SOMEBOWT fifty million and sorrows
- 14:34Speaker 1: type money flowed into him, somethink from around the world,
- 14:38Speaker 1: something from China, all different countries. If they can trace that,
- 14:41Speaker 1: prove that this foreign money in the campaign, they can
- 14:44Speaker 1: remove Mom Donnie. He can be taken away, can even
- 14:46Speaker 1: be indicted. Some think he'll never serve as mayor even
- 14:50Speaker 1: if he wins that they'll get him on that stuff
- 14:52Speaker 1: and take him out of the picture legally. Just take
- 14:56Speaker 1: him away legally. And the only other thing is there
- 15:02Speaker 1: are Justice Department officials who have said if he becomes mayor,
- 15:07Speaker 1: if he does anything to the Jewish community, if he
- 15:09Speaker 1: does anything wrong, then the Justice Department officials have said
- 15:13Speaker 1: they will come here and arrest him for a hate crime.
- 15:16Speaker 1: So you got that going on, But we'll see, we'll
- 15:18Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
- 15:21Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number if you want
- 15:24Speaker 1: to say, what if you watch the debate, you got
- 15:27Speaker 1: an opinion? Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
