Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from War from Everywhere USA. It's
Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayala. Oh you're damn right
it is.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
And we got a stack deck episode a Fox Across
America with your radio buddy Jimmy Fayla, Bill Hemmer, co
host of America's Newsroom, a man who will be working
the board on election night one week from today. We've
got zoron Mom, Donnie Hansy, Andy Cuomo, Indy, and of

(00:32):
course Curtis Sleewa who continues to stay in the fight.
He's gonna be joining me Fox on Fox New Saturday
Night this weekend. I feel like he should be out campaigning,
trying to close the deal. That's not exactly a good
sign for sleiwa.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I got a bad feeling about this?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
What a good feeling about the next three hours of
the show? Edit eight seven, eight, eight, nine, nine one zero.
If you want to be a part of this thing,
Caroline Sunshine's going to be here. She is a former
Trump twenty twenty four campaign deputy communications director. That sounds
like senior ambassador to Starbucks to me. I don't know
that's a fancy one, but yet another marcher in Mikey's

(01:10):
Babe Parade and of course Philadelphia Radio Sensation Rich the
only in New York today because he's got a hit
on the Fox News channel, so we're making him do
double duty and stop by the studio to preview the
race in New Jersey where Jack Chitdarelli and Mikey Cheryl
to you know, they're saying it's gonna be a one
point one point race.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
One point is a big deal.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
If you look at Mikey Cheryl's stock portfolio, some of
those stocks went up one point. This check made about
seven million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Money money, money, money, money, money money.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
True story if you haven't followed that race. Mikey Cheryl
was on with Charlemagne the God and he had asked
her about the scandal, the fact that people accused her
of insider trading in Congress and that she had made
allegedly seven million dollars. He asked on the radio show,
he goes, did you make seven million dollars? And she said,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I mean, dude, some of these these women are this
are stupid.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That is the worst answer, because it's not acceptable. If
I come home tonight at four point thirty in the morning,
and Jenny.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Goes, where were you? And I go, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
This could be a problem.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
A big problem. You gotta do a better answer than that.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
But regardless of how you feel about the politics of
the day, this is just a good old fashioned radio
talk show. I don't care how you vote. I don't
care what you identify as. I do not care who
you want to sleep with. It's the least interesting thing
about you. The best thing about you is you were
an American and we will celebrate that American privilege for
the next three hours. Eighty eight seven, eight, eight, nine

(02:43):
nine one zero is the phone number, and you are
all welcome to a Republican, be a Democrat. Just don't
be a bang happy Tuesday, I was up, man. I
was watching the Dodgers play the Blue Jays into an
eighteen inning standoff ended with a Freddie Freeman walk off
home run sometime around three in the morning. I'm gonna

(03:05):
be very honest, that's the longest I have ever watched
a sporting event that I didn't have money on. You know,
look back in my gambling days, Yeah, I would have
stuck with a game like that, or you know, two guys,
two dogs, on skateboards going down a hill. Okay, I
probably had fifty bucks on it in my twenties.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
I mean, why do you do things like that? You're
like a crazy person. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It was like you know these It was an exciting
time in my life. But as a city here right
now watching that race last night, or at least watching
that game, and it was a classic, probably one of
the greatest World Series games ever played. I watched, you know,
the Dodger crowd stuck around. There were a lot of celebrities. Obviously.
Otani had this historic performance. He hit multiple home runs,
he was intentionally walked a bunch, made it onto, made

(03:50):
it to base eight times safely, which is an all time.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Record for the World Series. All wild stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
And it really did remind me though of why sports
is so much better than politics, because they're kind of
the same. Okay, you're rooting for a team really really hard.
You want your team to win. That's essentially what politics
have become. But your blind loyalty to the Dodgers or
your blind loyalty to the Blue Jays isn't going to

(04:16):
usher in an age of socialism. Depending on who wins
the game, it might not put a guy in the
city hall in your town that wants to defund the
police and thinks they're anti queer and racist, like we're
dealing with with Maamdani. But the closing message in politics
this week is we're, you know, getting close to an election.
It's exactly one week from today. Is nobody's really running

(04:38):
on their record so much as they're running in an
effort to distance themselves from their record. And the point
is a lot of these people are full of Okay,
So Mom Donnie goes out on the trail last night
and has to clarify the story he was.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Mocked for last Friday.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Is Mom, Donnie, try telling people that you know, as
a kid who grew up Muslim, he was the real
victim in nine to eleven is that he had an
ant who was scared to ride the subway with a
high jab on her head the headscarf because he was
concerned with the anti Muslim backlash, Okay, and he just
looked so tone deaf and stupid.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I mean, he took about a brazen lack of awareness.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Because anybody in New York City who was scared to
ride the subway in the aftermath, not eleven was scared
to ride the subway because Islamic terrorists had just killed
three thousand New Yorkers.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
So the idea that.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Someone feeling uncomfortable in a headscarf is where we should
be placing our priorities, and that the closing message should
be about, well, you got to rid the scourge of Islamophobia,
you see. Okay, but lo and behold, we get out
of bed yesterday and find out what there was no.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Ant ah.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Wow, And he's now clarifying because everybody did a deep
dive on the internet and said, what ant what are
we talking about? And they found one that was in
Tanzania at the time, that had never set foot in
the United States of America. There's no existing picture of
her wearing a headscarf. So Mom, Donnie pivoted yesterday to go, well,
it was actually my dad's cousin. My dad's cousin was
uncomfortable in the aftermath of nine to eleven. But if listen,

(06:15):
if it's his dad's cousin, she was probably uncomfortable because
the terrorists didn't kill enough people. I'm not trying to
be provocative. This isn't the shock jock show. I played
you with dad's comments yesterday. His dad literally said that
Hitler learned from Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I mean, that's the dumbest thing I've heard of.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, well, everybody always forgets about that footage of Hitler
wearing the top hat, Hitler going to the theater, so
they called they called him honest eight off. A lot
of people don't know that. I mean, it's so embarrassing,
but this is mom, Donnie's dad. And then I'll give
you them on Donnie clarifications because it was another day
yesterday where he had to distance himself from previous positions.

(06:56):
He tried making the case in September twenty three that
every time the NYPD puts its boot on your neck,
it's laced by the IDF.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's the Jews.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
The NYPD is roughing people up because of the Jews
and the fighting force over there in Palestine.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
And that's the real problem. I mean, not even close
statue of this guy is.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
And I realized as I was watching the Dodgers get
into their twelfth hour of baseball last night, I was like, oh,
I know, I like this because it's the same type
of spirited competition, but it might not end in a breadline.
It might not end in socialism. Okay, I played this yesterday.
I don't want to devote a lot of time to this,
but his dad is a real dirt bag.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Here he is. This is Clip twelve.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism,
and the American model was exported all around the world.
Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservation. They herded American
Indians into separate territories.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
So the guy will free the slaves is actually the
guy who turned the world on its head. You see,
up until Abe Lincoln came along, the world was just
harmonious and glorious. No one was trying to conquer anybody.
Never No, there were no Napoleons, there were no Aztecs,
there were none of the stuff that went on in
all the Polyponnesian War. None of that stuff happened. Nobody

(08:28):
wanted anybody else's land. Nobody was a lesser than he is,
this guy. But here's the rest of it. Clip thirteen
for the Nazis. For the Nazis, this was the inspiration.
Hitler realized two things. One, the genocide was doable. It

(08:50):
is possible to do genocide. That's what Hitler realized.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Second, jump in. You're gonna jump in right there, I'm
gonna jump in.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
There are so many genocides that preceded Hitler sadly, and
there are genocides going on today in the Hubai province
of China that nobody likes to talk about. But the
idea that watching Abraham Lincoln taught Adolf Hitler that genocide
was doable. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. Okay, he did

(09:20):
not kill six million people. He did not attempt to
build a master race. He did nothing of the sort.
Like it's so intellectually disqualifying. But again, the closing message
from Mamdani is, oh, you guys are only pointing this
stuff out because I'm a Muslim. Now, we don't care
how many Muslim guys are in my taxi garage. There's

(09:42):
two million Muslims living peacefully in Israel right now. There's
a reason Israel isn't attacking them. They don't have a
problem with Muslims. They have a problem with terrorists. They
have a problem with Hamas sympathizers. They have a problem
electing people whose dad says America is the root of
all evil.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Because here's a news flash.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
The apple doesn't false small from the tree. Okay, yes,
I could say that, if you gave me a minute,
I could probably say that in a language you understand.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Do you speak of an English.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Jimmy's caffeinated, he's all worked out. But the point is, yes,
your dad has a profound influence on your upbringing. My
dad like the Yankees. I like the Yankees. Okay, every
band my dad listened to I pretty much listened to.
My dad was chubby. He drank cheap beer. What do
you think I spent my teens doing drank cheap beer,
slightly better beer. Now I host a TV show, but
I'm still chubby. I'm still listening to the same music.
I'm still smoking the cigars. I still owned a bunch

(10:29):
of motorcycles. Your dad has a profound influence on your upbringing.
So if mom Donnie grew up in a house where
the dad said America is the root of all evil,
you know, son, Adolf Hitler studied that Abraham Lincoln guy.
That's why I'm Donnie's out there telling you America is evil.
That's why I'm Donnie's out there thinking that it's an
actual good political argument to say nine to eleven. You

(10:50):
should really think back to how his ann felt on
the subway, not the people crushed in subway cars on
nine to eleven. No, no, about his ant a few weeks
later when she put on a headscarf. Except she didn't
because she wasn't in the country. And now it turns
out the whole thing was made up. Here he is
trying to backpedal on it. Clip two.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Yes, that's I was speaking about my aunt. I was
speaking about Zatafui, my father's cousin sadly passed away a
few years ago. And for the takeaway for my more
than ten minute address about Islamophobia in this race and
in the city to be, the question of my aunt

(11:31):
tells you everything about Andrew Cuomo and his inability to
reckon with a crisis of his own.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Making so embarrassing man. Okay, the reason it was called
out was not because of his religion, but because of
how laughable it was to think anyone who was in
New York, you know, the never forget crowd, the never
forget crowd, the people who experienced nine to eleven, the
people that were here in the aftermath. Guy, you know,
guys like me, my family, you know probably a lot

(11:57):
of you listening in the Tri State area in war Okay,
realize the absurdity, the utter absurdity that in a town
where we literally didn't open a newspaper without seeing a
funeral on the front page for about four months, okay,
where we were living in a first time in our life,
color coded terror alert system, where going to the airport

(12:20):
changed forever that day because of how in the graphic
nature in which people were killed, We're going to a
large event changed forever that day, because of how in
the graphic nature in which people were killed, we're just
being a part of everyday life in America changed that
day because of how in the graphic nature in which
people lost their lives.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
He wants you to believe.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Well, his aunt got a dirty look on the subway once,
so she's the real victim.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, dude, Buddy, pal Mom, Donnie.

Speaker 7 (12:48):
That is totally absurd.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Absurd Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
But that's where we are in the closing message as
it pertains to this race. Okay, on the left view
politics as a team sport. There's a lot of white
guilt on the liberal side of politics that can be
emotionally blackmailed.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Into supporting something.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, Mom Donnie says people are only mad at him
for supporting Hamas because he's a Muslim. Well, Mom Donnie
says people are only mad at his dad, saying America
is the root of all evil and Abraham Lincoln inspired Hitler.
It's the religion they're mad at, and that's what they
want you to believe. And a lot of white people
on the left who are by nature empathetic, some of them,
and want to see a better world out there, go,

(13:32):
will Gee, I better help this guy win. Otherwise that
is Lamophobia is gonna, you know, run rampant in Manhattan,
and I'm gonna be the guy who enables that horrible culture.
And this is how people got elected all over Europe.
And I you know, I don't know any of these
people personally in the rape gangs all over Europe, but
the people who enabled leaders like Mom Donnie all over

(13:53):
Europe created a society where they're being plagued by a
massive amount of rape gangs, a tremendous lack of empathy
for law and order, and the priority now becomes the
criminal who can be shielded by the religion. Although no
one is mad at the religion, they're mad at the
actions of people that are doing bad things, whether they
happen to be part of a particular religion or not

(14:15):
is another story altogether, although a lot of people would
say it's the same. But the point is, Mam Donnie
wants you to believe that the people that are upset
about a support of terrorism and a lack of you know,
regard for America are the real villains here. Okay, But
the only problem with the argument is if if Islamophobia
is running so rampant in New York City, he wouldn't

(14:38):
have to make up stories to sell the idea.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
And I'm mad here in the real world and not
know what's right or wrong or bullsh.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
The show that sees through the bullet My response is right,
you know on this trip really like you tired of
the white man keeping me down.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Those are the words of Mom Donnie pretty much as
we've run to election day on Tuesday. America is evil.
It did him dirty, It did his family dirty. I mean,
don't get me wrong. They managed to move here from Uganda,
make millions of dollars, live in a rent control department,
become a rapper. Did you know, Mom Donnie was a
rapper at one point he was an aspiring rapper put

(15:17):
out a song was a you know, BS city councilman
has never had a major job, but he appeals to
a lot of people on the woke left. They're crazy, okay,
And again there is a substantive point to Mom Donnie's appeal.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I do mean this. A lot of people on the
right reduce it to the free stuff they got.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Ah, they want free stuff, and you know it's not
free because we got to pay for it your tax dollars.
Raw and we say that all the time. I agree
with that sentiment. There was nothing provided to you for
free from the government, because it means the taxpayer has
to foot the bill for all of it.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Thanks big government witnesses.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
But the reason so many young people gravitate towards Mom
Donnie is because elite academia has saddled these kids with
two three and four hundred thousand dollars college debts and
they can't get a job to pay their way out
of that debt. And in a lot of ways, the
capitalistic system has failed them. But it hasn't failed because
of the market forces of capitalism so much as it's

(16:15):
failed because elite liberal institutions have sabotaged these kids. If
you sell a kid at gender studies degree for five
hundred thousand dollars and there's only two genders, that's just
the way it is.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's a biological fact.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was only a matter of time before the rubber
hit the road, and there was no traction because there's
only going to be so many markets to study something
that doesn't exist. It's like a no King's protest. The
reason we're not talking about it anymore is we didn't
have a king before the protest. So how much you
know blowback is there going to be after the protest?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
There's no like, well, is the king.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Going to fall?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Are we going to vote against taving a king? No,
we already did that.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
We licked the stamp, stuck it on the envelope, mailed
it across the Atlantic Ocean and said to the King
of England, Hey, pal, here's a big middle fIF. You're
from the colonies, bring it on. That was the no
King's protest. So, Mom, Donnie is someone who got you know,
gloriously rich off America. He is appealing to the sentiments
of other white people who got gloriously rich off. The

(17:13):
sentiments of America that have roped in a lot of
young people that have been failed by the current job
market because of the massive level of debt that they're
saddled with, and yes, because of housing being very expensive,
and yes, because of government spending creating massive problems for
the people who subsidize that government spending. Think out how
much of our tax dollars when you talk about snap

(17:34):
benefits right now and the Democrats keep telling you all
the snap benefits are going to expire, Well, the Republicans
have voted to maintain the Snap benefits thirteen times in
a row since the government shut down. The Democrats have
voted against reopening the government and the Snap.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Benefits all thirteen times.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, they're causing the problem the solves and then lecturing
the rest of us for it.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
It doesn't fly. Democrats are so full of crap. Give
me fail.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
Now.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
If you're over the age of sixty five, and I
said the Chairman of.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
The board, you'd say, Frank Sinatra.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
But if you're in the know with news and politics,
and you hear the Chamman of the board, your eyes
in your heart and your mind immediately dart to election
night any year and up comes our next guest, co
host of America's Newsroom, the chairman of the board. On
election night, Bill Hemmer comes in to do it my way.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Hey man, nicely done.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm tying it together really good.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
I'm impressed. Thank you for giving it some thought.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
There's a lot.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Thank you for pretending I did this. Stuff happens fast
em it's all jazz. They call me brown shoes Johnson
over here on the radio. But let me give you this,
brown shoes. Last night we get a Dodger game that
goes eighteen innings.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Holy, I mean, which.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Was you know, it's a shame I gotta give I know.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
I mean, I would have been really just a blast.
It was amazing how drunk those people.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
They're drinking for seven hours. This is what I was
wondered about.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
You know, sometimes the baseball stadium cuts off beer.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Sales in the seventh they do. I wonder how that
shook out.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
I'm the Dodgers have to be ticked off.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
He lost a lot of revenue, a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, he could have gave Otani an extension with twelve
ins of beer sales, and he want to deserve one
two home runs he got on base a Tomas.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
I really hope Toronto Wednesday night. And I'll tell you
why because I want to see it. I want to
see it with you know. They talk about a fall classes.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, let's have a class. I love a fall classic
barrel through seven games.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
It's good for the game, it's good for America.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Let's, you know, share something together as opposed to the division.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
We need one of those.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Although I do have my concerns that if the Canadian
team wins the World Series, Trump is going to invade,
and he'd be well within his rights.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I mean, do you not go?

Speaker 3 (19:43):
I mean, would he have the Blue Jays at the
White House?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
That's interesting. I mean I think he would think he does.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
And I think he invites Carney to come with him too.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I think that's what you got.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Like that, that's the move.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
And then everybody hogs they give him a jersey and
then he imposes the additional tariffs.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Oh, by the way, guys, since I got you here,
take that with your maple leaf.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I mean, is that the way we're headed? That's going down?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
The They're gonna start sinking maple syrup boats next.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
That's what's gonna go down. Bill Hammer's here. None of
this is true. We're just being silly.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
But we're talking about marathons because a week from tonight
is the election. It's a nine pm poll close on
the East coast here in New York, which is a win.
But most of our biggest races are local this year,
you know, in terms of New York, New Jersey, Virginia,
local geographic that's I mean geographically local. So are you
optimistic that you won't be standing in front of that

(20:38):
board at seven am on Wednesday?

Speaker 7 (20:40):
Well, we might be at that board at seven How much.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Cardio of the Hammer, is the Hammer election team doing that?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
I shall be prepped, friend.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
So here here's your layout, just in case you're scoring
at home.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Here we go, ready.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Virginia, the governor's race is the most interesting, but the
attorney general's race in Virginia got very interesting because of
lead text messages. All right, So they close at seven o'clock.
Virginia tends to count fast, so we'll see how that goes.
New Jersey closes at eight.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I expect a very close race.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
I don't know if Chittarelli the Republican can beat her.
And I don't know if Mikey Cheryl. She may have
the ability to pull it out based on voter registration
in that state.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Democratic Republican.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
I do, however, believe that that is a one point race. Yes,
either she wins it by a point or he ruins
it by a point. I reserve the right, by the way,
to change my mind tomorrow for a week from that.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
New data is going to and then.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
We got this bad boy in New York.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Nine o'clock East Coast closing time for an Eastern time
zone is frankly late.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
My guess is that the turnout is going to be big.
It's going to be significant.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Did you know in nineteen ninety three, by the way,
my head that're filled.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
With stacked Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Guys, if you are organized, if you're organizing a bar
train bill hemmers your.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
Guy, I'm your guy to help you win.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
So it closes at nine o'clock, and my get ninety
three ninety three, Rudy Giuliani beat David Dinkins, and it's
for a time Republican one in this city in a
long time. A lot of things like listeners at home,
maybe they know this, maybe they don't. It's seven to
one Democrats and Republicans in New York. Yeah, so for
Republican to win, how crappy was then?

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Man?

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Right, you got New Joints and Times Square and today
you got the Lion King.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yep, that's what Juliani did.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
But the participation rate among the five boroughs it was
fifty seven percent.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
That's crazy.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
You know what it was four years ago.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
There's no way it crack fifty? Did it little more
than twenty two?

Speaker 4 (22:44):
It was, right, Jimmy.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
The line graph from nineteen ninety three, just it's like
a black diamond.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
Man, it's just down, down.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
Down down.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I think it's gonna pop. And I don't know how
the Board of Elections will handle it, but we'll see.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Well.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
You know what I think is interesting about that, and
maybe the lack of engagement thereof is the city got
better and kind of course corrected obviously the work of
Juliani and the cops in Bloomberg. I was driving a
camp during Bloomberg. By and large, it felt like a
pretty safe city. It felt better than a lot of
I dare you well. I listen in the stop in
frisk Garrow where they were police in quality of life

(23:18):
of offenses.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Cab drivers felt a little bit safer they did.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
And but the one thing I would tell you is,
I think that's when a lot of people who traditionally
voted in city elections started spending election day eat a
little further out into the Hampton's or a little further
north in Greenwich, and didn't have the same investment in
the city. And that's my fear with the mom Donnie
thing is I don't know that the city needs the
drastic overhaul it needed under Giuliani, meaning he might be

(23:42):
the dinkins to the next Republican to win the mayor's race.
Does that make sense. I don't love what he's doing.
I just mean and New York is not ideal right now,
Don't get me wrong. I tell people all the time
the walking tours have become running tours.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Give me the yes, mister data.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Can I ask you one question about early voting.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
I mean, I'm just going to go ahead and riff here.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
So, hey, you're supposed to you save it for the game,
hence the word talk go Yeah. So, I was informed
this morning on an interview that early voting seems to
be up among seniors.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Have you seen any data they are post.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
With something out about like older people sixty and over. Yeah,
and also jen X is showing up at the poll?
What age is that right now?

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Jen X?

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Forty plus is what it is?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Somewhere somewhere between what thirty five and fifty?

Speaker 4 (24:33):
It came before Y and Z. That's all I know this.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
So the suggestion is that they would not necessarily be
Mom Donny voters, but I don't.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Know about that. Now Here's what I do know.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Okay, what's the person five boroughs.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Population eight point eight million, give or take, depending on
what's chech you be t you're on, of which nearly
five million are registered voters.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't know how many of the million will vote.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Is it two point five, which is where we were
nineteen ninety three, or is it one point five?

Speaker 4 (25:06):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
And I think you think about Queens, New York.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
What percentage of Queens New York.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
As a population of two point three million people Brooklyn,
New York is a population is two point seven That
is a higher population than.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
Thirty eight US states.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's crazy.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
Sorry, eleven states have more people.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Sorry, Jimmy, I gotta get my line. Thirty eight states
have more people than Brooklyn and Queens. Think about that,
you're watching this thing in Wisconsin or Ohio, think about
the like the dense humanity that we're describing here in
the Borough of Queens.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
How many people were born in another country?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, it's probably sixty right, wow?

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Wow, Okay, forty eight percent I think is extraordinary.

Speaker 7 (26:03):
That really amazing.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I just wonder if there's a there's a hidden story
there that, Like here in New York, we think about
thirty year old white girls, right, yeah, who are all
like Google for mom, Dannie.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
Yeah, and maybe they are.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
But maybe the hidden story is that if he does
win and you have a lot of foreign people who
live here in the boroughs are accepting of his policies,
and that could very well be a hidden story.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Or are these people as immigrants they come from different
parts of the world and then it light the world
system and they wanted to come here and really exercise capitalism.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
So a lot of undercurrents on things like this for
next Year'sday.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
That's a great point.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
So the intangible isn't so much who's running, but who's voting,
you know, because there's a big who out there, but
we're about to find out about them. Now, how does
exit polling in a race like the mayor's race compared
to a presidential election?

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Do you get?

Speaker 7 (26:53):
We have never had I've been doing this this two
thousand and eight.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
We've never had to to study New York City.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Ever, ever it was as a fatal complaint. And so
what I want to tell you is that over the
past two months, diving into these five boroughs, it's not
like studying a county or even state. It's honestly, it's
like studying a country. In the five boroughs, there are
three hundred and fifty neighborhoods. They don't have towns or
villages or townships. They have neighborhoods. There are three hundred

(27:24):
and fifty. I mean you may know that from driving
you most of them, but I mean I'm studying night
and day. So every time I get out of a
cab or an uber now I say, hey, man, where
are you from? They always say Brooklyn or they say
Queens and say yeah, but what neighborhood? Oh, Sunnyside, East
New York.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, it's been great too.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
I've lived here for almost twenty five years and I've
never been forced to study it. And I'm delighted in
what I discovered because it's really been a great education.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Bill Hammer's here and they're playing the game on old
Madden this year. You know, when you get the Madden
video game, you could play it on Madden and it's
just you're just playing in the computer, just passes and
catch him, but all mad. And now you're looking out
of a helmet and you've got to know the periphery.
You're playing all mad in this election, Pal, you're gonna
be out there.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I don't know that you're gonna get the turn dunkin,
but we're certainly rooting for you.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
But it's it's great.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
And then the last thing I'll leave you with and
then I'll let you go is you get New Jersey,
you get New York, you get Virginia. For my money,
those are the only real issues, are the only real
races we've been focused on. Is Prop fifty out in
California this election night?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
It is, it is, it is, and that'll have.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
A you know, California count slow. I don't know if
you'll have the results Tuesday night. They're going to decide
yes or no, whether or not they're going to Jerry
mander their districts.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah, and we'll see if it passes.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
My favorite thing in the world about the jerrymandering protest
is when the Texas legislature flew to Illinois to demonstrate
that they were against jerrymandering. I'm like, what's next, You're
gonna go to Vegas to protest Blackjack, Like, it just
seems like a location problem. But you're saying, if you
want an outcome on Prop fifty newsome might be honest,
four box of mac and cheese before we get an answer.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah, Jalinois has drawn up some kind of.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Some kind of geometry.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
A lot of sketchy stuff in the Italian neighborhoods in
New York. They might call it foo gazing, Okay, fu
gayzy maps being drawn out there.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Maybe out in Bensonhurst, maybe that's what they're thinking.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
But that's why he's the chairman of the board.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
He's got the regular maps, he's got the fougazy maps,
and they'll all be on the Fox News channel next
Tuesday night, Bill Hammer, what's on there?

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Thank you? Jimmy back after this.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
You're listening to the best of the radio cambell of
Love by the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
That's a hot bump in as zoron Mom donnae he
tries to convince voters he is a victim of Islamophobia.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
This guy's a serious as.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Mom Donnie goes on the Daily Show last night, sympathetic
audience if ever there was one, and uh, you know,
tries to make the jokey case for what he will
and won't do. But what he never acknowledges during this
montage or not even a montage but a forty second
clip I'm about to play you is people are not
attacking him because he's a Muslim and they're projecting some

(30:07):
type of ill will towards his community. People are attacking
his own words. It wasn't an islamophobe that tweeted in
June of twenty twenty. We don't need an investigation to
know the NYPD is anti queer and racist. What we
need to do is defund the police. That was not
an islamophobe who said that. That was zoron Mom Donnie.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Bengo, man Bingo.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Okay, so you understand when a guy says something like
that and then people have a negative reaction, outsourcing this
to islamophobia or hateful rhetoric.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
By his opponents.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Again, it'll work on the Daily Show, where they're just
there to, you know, clap every time the applause sign
comes on. But if you're actually living in the real world,
you see through this for what it is, which is
a scam. Here is Mom Donnie talking to John Stewart,
pretty pleas and back and forth.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Clip one.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
You know, I don't begrudge New Yorkers who are skeptical
because they've also lived through tens of millions of dollars
of commercials telling them to fear me.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Right.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
You know, they have lived through waking up every morning
and seeing a photo of me and just feeling like,
oh my god, because the language that's written around me
is as if I am a threat to the city
that they love. And so when I meet with them,
just the mere fact that I don't strangle them within
thirty seconds.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
It's often.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
That's sad, But and then I think it's it's an
opportunity where you know, I both can tell them the
things that I will do and the things that I
won't do.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Right.

Speaker 6 (31:35):
I will freeze the rent, I won't defund the police.
I will make buses fast and free. I won't decriminalize misdemeanors.
I will deliver universal childcare. I won't require everyone to
eat halal food.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Hey, and he got a laugh for that.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
But when he says, you know the fact that people
are shocked, I don't strangle them in thirty seconds, nobody's shocked,
because we've seen your bench press video. You're not strangling anybody.
You might choke out the economy, you might decimate the
tax base. The truth is for me, my takeaway. And
there's a lot of gloom and doom in talk radio
right now as everybody's talking about what mont Donney's policies

(32:10):
might do to the city. The truth is they would
destroy the city if he could implement them. I don't
truly believe he can implement most of them. Kathy Holk
is the governor. At a state level, she's going to
have to raise your taxes and do all the bad
things that would enact as agenda, But she's going to
be in a really tough re election battle with the
least staphonic. I don't know. I truly don't know that
she's going to have the balls to follow through on

(32:31):
this stuff at the state level because it's her own
butt on the line that being said, socialism is also
on the ballot in Minneapolis, and if this proves to
be electorally viable, it's not so much what gets done
in this election, but what gets done in the next
one and the one beyond that, because the minute people
start voting for it and it actually gets elected, you know,

(32:54):
the old success as a thousand fathers failure is an orphan. Well,
in this case, a lot of people who know better
than to preach socialism on the campaign trail might start
leaning into it a little bit more because they might
think it's their ticket to get into power again. Politics.
This is not about principle, it's not about virtue. These
are people who want to be powerful and whatever that means.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Do you got to dish dirt on somebody? Do you
got to backstab somebody?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Do you got to vote for something you know is
wrong because the lobbyist wants you to believe it's right.
Do you have to abandon a policy you held an
hour ago? I mean, look at somebody like Gavin Newsom
and what a pure sociopath he is. Like the factory
settings on Gavin Newsom sociopath. Like if you took your
iPhone and reset it. You know, you'd lose a lot
of data and you'd just start with what was originally
on the phone. If you held Gavin Newsom by the

(33:45):
volume key, the control key until the screen reset, you
just have a sociopath.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
That's what you'd have.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
When he was on with Charlie Kirk, if you remember,
he interviewed Charlie Kirk on his podcast and said all
the DEI woke stuff was garbage, was hurting economies, and
it was poisoning the political bloodstream and the Democrats needed
to get away from it. But what did he say
in a podcast over the weekend. Well, anybody who's anti
woke is just anti black. I mean, that's what's really
going on over here. I mean, and that is Gavin

(34:14):
Newsom a sociopath. The guy just wants power. And when
you have people that are so desperate for power that
are willing to do anything to get it, what ultimately
happens is these people wind up in charge of something
they don't know how to care for, like the dog
catches the car.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
What.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Now, that's the modern Democrat Party. They've lectured you so
much about Donald Trump destroying faith in our institutions that
they've destroyed faith in most of those institutions in an
effort to get Donald Trump's like a little kider doesn't
want to share a toy.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Hey, can I play with the toy? Now? Come on?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
So the play rod of it twos ah, and they
tug on it, and then parents finally turn around in
the car and go, hey, would you just let him
play with the fricking toy?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Now he's not playo.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
They pull on it so hard they wind up breaking
the toy that they wanted control of. Okay, that's a
lot of what's happening in California. We talked about this
with Steve Hilton yesterday. Hilton's going to be the next
governor of California with any luck, and it's going to
be because Gavin Newsom created an opening for a Republican to
swoop it and save the day.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's how Trump happened.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Establishment Washington failed so many generations of Americans that that
fantasy people used to write screenplays about suddenly became doable
because folks were like, dude, we're so sick of these
folks in Washington telling us one thing and doing another.
What if we really let an outsider in there? Rodney
Dangerfield and Caddyshack. Get a regular guy into the country
club to tell the elites what jackasses they are. I

(35:34):
bet you get a free bowl of soup every time
you buy this hat. Oh, but it looks good on you.
The only difference between Rodney D and Trump is he
doesn't tell anybody they look good after reinsults the hat.
He just keeps bringing the fire, and we'll keep bringing
the show, Ritchie only joining us in the next hour.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Don't Go Anywhere. This has been a podcast from wor
