Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, have you gotten over the shock yet of what happened.
It's a day after the shocking Democratic primary and all
of it's still sinking in. That leads off the Big three.
The Democratic nominee is a socialist who has been an
American citizen for seven years, and he is now the
(00:23):
front runner to be the next mayor of New York.
It was more than shocking. I think most of us
just can't get over it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
But he is one of the most dangerous people that
I have seen in a very long time. How did
he even get to the point where he even has
a shot? I mean, he's a freaking socialist.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Now we have Laura Curran coming up in just a
couple of minutes. She was out in front saying it
was going to be Andrew Cuomo. Of course she wasn't alone,
and the polls were showing that too, So I can't
wait to talk to her about the result and what
she thinks about it. The FBI is investigating to find
the leak of a classified intelligence briefing of a damage
(01:07):
assessment on the strike on Iran's nuclear facility. I understand
the FBI is investigating who was the source of that
leak because it's an illegal leak to CNN and shot
a consequence to the leak or face jail. Not only
was the leak illegal, but the information that CNN and
The New York Times went with, we're just wrong. That's
(01:30):
according to the United States sources, it's according to Israel,
and it's according to the UN assessment. There's no doubt
that it was obliterated. So the reporting out there that
that that.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
In some ways suggests that we did not achieve the
achieve the objective is just completely preposterous.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, it seems the heat wave is over now, and
that's just tremendous news. But yesterday, on the third day
of record setting heat, a crowded Amtrak train got stuck
in a tunnel and it had no power on It
was on its way from Baltimore and New York.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
It's insanely hot on hair, and I can't imagine that.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
A few people here can last much longer because it's so.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Closing arguments begin in the Sean Didty Combs trial, and
the jury is expected to have the case by the
end of the day. So what's expected to happen.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Guilty transportation to engagement, prostitution. I think the Sex Trafficking
Council are going to be difficult both for Jane and
for Cathy, but especially for Jane because there's just so
many issues as to her text messages and how she
came off on the stand that she just wanted to.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Police her lover. Yeah, so don't be shocked if Sean
Ditty walks on most of the charges, not all, but
most of the especially most serious charges. And a horrible
accident on a beach in Asbury Park, New Jersey, when
a lifeguard falls off a stand and then is impaled
(02:57):
by an umbrella.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
It was just a free thing. As she was putting
it in, caught it, pulled it up, so when she
grabbed it, she was off balance so and aguess she
was on the top step of the bench, so she
fell backwards off the bench and the umbrella came with
her when she came down, and you just landed on
her arm.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It went through her arm, as a matter of fact,
and they had to saw it in half just a
transporter because they couldn't remove it there. But the lifeguard
is expected to be okay and is said to be
still in the hospital, but in good spirits. And now
let's get to Laura Curran, political commentator and former Nasau
County executives. Laura, I know you were out in front
(03:36):
on Cuomo all along and thought he was going to win.
You weren't alone. I'm not gonna It's not just you.
I think most people were. Heck, the poles were there.
So what did you think when you saw the results
Tuesday night?
Speaker 8 (03:49):
I was shocked.
Speaker 9 (03:50):
I actually went to bed and I woke up in
the morning very early and saw it. And I have
to tell you, I was very surprised. I think I
gotta I gotta maybe not be a political commentator because
I got it so wrong. We were talking in our conversations, Larry.
It was like, yeah, he's definitely gonna win, no question.
And then it was like, I remember the last time
(04:10):
I was on you said do you think he needs
to worry? And I said, yeah, Mom, Donnie is connecting
with people and young people to the point where, just
an example for you, I know teenagers and people in
their early twenties here on Long Island, who can't even vote,
who knew what his policies were, who understood ranked choice
voting because of him, who completely could articulate his attacks
(04:34):
against Cuomo and I said, Okay, this is a game changer.
This guy's really getting there. He's plugging in to young
people and giving them information in a way that they
receive it and understand it, which is not easy right now.
And I still thought Cuomo would win. I still thought
(04:54):
his support was deep enough. But the fact that it's
not even going to take some time really to figure
out with rank choice voting that he didn't win it
is very, very surprising to me. But I do have
to say about Mom Donnie.
Speaker 10 (05:08):
He ran.
Speaker 9 (05:09):
Now I'm not talking about his policies or as politics.
I'm talking about the campaign. It was a very good campaign.
He was authentic, he was joyful, He was everywhere every podcast.
He wasn't afraid of hard questions, and I think, you know,
in the age of Trump, people are looking for authenticity.
Speaker 11 (05:29):
One other thing that he did that I.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
Thought was was effective was talking about affordability. That is
something that affects everyone. Yeah, and that's very trumpy. That's
why Trump won. That was his big topic that in migration.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But he was on that, Laura, let's just just jump
in for one second. He was on that from the
very beginning. He jumped on that, and I saw Cuomo
in the last couple of days, tried to talk about it,
but it was too late.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Yeah, I think you're right. I think it was too
late because this guy had his Uh. He had, he
already had. That was his part so much, a part
of his branding.
Speaker 11 (06:07):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
And I feel bad for Cuomo, you know, that legacy
of his. I feel bad for all the folks who
worked on the campaign. But hey, the people have spoken
and here we go.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well wait a second, he is still on an independent line.
He can choose to run. I think we played a
SoundBite of him just a little bit ago where he
said he's he's talking to some of his supporters and
to some of his contributors to find out what he's
going to do. But he short had seemed defeated. And
just what you said right there, I guess you don't
(06:36):
think he's gonna run in the general.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Well, I don't know. I'm not in the man's head.
I would be surprised because it was such a decisive
by mom Donnie. But you know what, it's going to
be crowded. It's going to be five people, you know,
if he runs, that's a lot of people. And I'm
very worried about making predictions again, but I'm I'm a
little less cynical about the chances of Eric Adams to.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Be honest, I agree with you too, I.
Speaker 12 (07:05):
Actually has a gance.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Yes, no anti Mom Donnie safe person.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Eric Adams the same. Please please don't support me, Please
please don't say it's going to be me. But I
agree with you. And I've watched Eric Adams now. He's
really good. He is a very good campaigner. And I've
also been watching Mom Donnie. Now Mom Donnie didn't talk
about Trump a lot on the campaign trail, all of
a sudden he talked about Trump. And today again he
(07:32):
started talking about Trump because he's going to run against
Adams and he can tie Adams to Trump. Yeah, and
so he made a switch.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Yeah, that's actually a really good point. I don't know.
I don't know if that's going to work. I think
a lot. You know, Remember, this is a general primary.
It's not just I mean, it's a general election. It's
not just Democrats. And as we've seen, just about every
neighborhood in New York City has gone a little to
the right. In the last presidential election, Trump got more
votes than he's ever gotten so I don't know if
(08:04):
that's gonna you know, maybe in some places that'll hurt Adams,
but maybe in other places it'll actually help him.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, I tell you what, it's going to be turned
out again. And that's what hurt Cuomo the most. There
was an excitement about Mom Donnie. He got out his vote.
The people that were excited about him got to the polls.
There wasn't an excitement about Cuomo, and his vote didn't
turn out. If any of them, whoever was going to
get the most voters out because it was a low turnout,
because it was a primary that nobody really thinks matters,
(08:32):
then they win, and Mom Donnie won.
Speaker 11 (08:34):
That he I just think about.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
On election day, he walked the entire length of Manhattan,
fist bumping, taking crap from people, giving crap back, huggings,
fell selfies like was That was sort of encapsulated his campaign.
That sort of everywhere, everything everywhere, all at once, joyful.
He wasn't negative. He didn't run a negative campaign, which
I thought was interesting.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
It was very.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
Positive and joyful and very you know, good message. I
got a handed to the kid, good message. Discipline too.
He stayed on message.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I can't believe you just called him the kid. Yeah,
I know, he says he's thirty three years old. But
I think it may be a little dismissive to call
him the kid. But that's okay. I'm with you. I'm
with you. Let's let's dismiss.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
Them, you know, part time, a part time legislator who
potentially might be running the city. I mean, it's got
to give you a little pause.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I say, you know, Eric Adams had a great point.
He went through all the things that mom Donnie wants
to do, and he says, a mayor can't do that.
You know who can do that? An assemblyman? And he
goes and a mayor can't do this, He goes, why
hasn't he brought these things up before he was in
the Assembly for six years? How come we're hearing about
this now when he can't get it done? That's effective, isn't.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
It very effective? And that's something that Mayor Adams would
be very smart to continue hammering home because anything that
involves taxes you got to get state approval.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Absolutely, Thank you so much. Laura Carr and political commentator
and former national county executive. No, no, no, you were
you were far from being alone. I think the majority
were with you. Thanks so much, Laura. Trump has been
praise for strengthening NATO. Leaders say he saved the alliance
by pushing for bigger defense spending. W r's John Decker
(10:21):
is traveling back right now and will give us the
details next. What a I surprise. This is John Decker
Worr White House in Washington. Correspondent was in the Hague
for the NATO summit covering the President. He's on his
way back but from Heathrow Airport. He called in and
said he can talk to us about what happens. So John,
(10:42):
first of all, thank you so very much for that,
and and please tell us what happened.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Well. I think it was a very successful summit for
President Trump because for years, for ten years, he's been
pushing for all of the NATO members to, in his words,
pay their fair share. And that's exactly what he got
in terms of an agreement at the end of the summit,
an agreement that each and every one of the thirty
(11:09):
two members of NATO will increase their defense spending within
the next ten years. Spain is the outlier. They are
not going to meet the threshold of spending five percent
of their GDP on defense, but the President said he's
going to put pressure on them to increase that defense spending.
Over the course of his second term, there are reports.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That he was treated at a little differently than he
has been in the past. There was a deference to
the president. As a matter of fact. I heard one
of the questions and you were probably at that news
conference where somebody mentioned that the head of NATO called
him daddy at one point and they laughed about that.
Was there a new kind of deference and respect for
(11:52):
President Trump?
Speaker 13 (11:53):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (11:54):
I think so absolutely. I mean, the Secretary General of NATO,
Mark Ruda, treated the President with tremendous respect. They've known
each other for a decade, but you could see that
they get along very well. Much different type of vibe
As it relates to the way that Mark Ruda treated
(12:15):
President Trump versus the way that he treated Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Is the difference now because of what happened in Iran.
Speaker 10 (12:26):
No, I think it goes beyond that. I think they
just recognize that this is a president that you know,
very confident, you know that is confident in his skills
and what he can bring forward in terms of the
leader of NATO. I think that has a lot to
do with it. It didn't hurt, you know, in terms
of what happened over the weekend with the strike on
(12:48):
those three nuclear sites in Iran.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, in the middle of all this, during the NATO summit,
of course, we had the report out by the New
York Times and CNN's saying that the strike on Iran
wasn't as successful as it should have been. And it's
been a huge controversy since then because Israel's come out,
the UNS come out and said no, no, it was
extremely stressful. So what was what was the reaction there?
Speaker 10 (13:15):
Well, you saw the president, he got a few questions
on that. He wasn't pleased with the nature of those questions,
as you just mentioned. And US intelligence points out that
it was successful, Israeli intelligence points out that it was successful.
And I think there's no doubt about it that Iran
does not pose the type of threat that it did
(13:36):
two weeks ago, not only Israel but to the entire region.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
How is the Hague never been I've been there before.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
I've been there before. Yeah, it's a it's a lot different,
you know, as a town than Amsterdam. For instance. Amsterdam's
a fun place and we had great weather when we
were in Amsterdam for just today. The Haig's more buttoned up,
and of course so much security associated with the summit
as you can probably imagine.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Larry, Wow, one day I want to grow up and
be John Decker. John Decker, our White House corresponded in Washington.
Car responded, John, thanks so much for making time for us.
Really appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
Oh, of course, Larry anytime. So happy to be on
your show.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Bye bye, have a good trip, Bye bye now. Jacqueline
Carl with the eight thirty News, Jacquelin.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
President Trump says Iran's nuclear program was destroyed after US
air strikes. Trump stood by his statements Wednesday, calling it
quote a total obliteration. He's been fighting back following multiple
reports claiming early Pentagon intelligence suggested Aron's nuclear program was
only set back months, and President Trumps slamming the Democratic
(14:45):
nominee for New York City mayor.
Speaker 11 (14:46):
The President took to truth social calling Zoran Mamdannie a
one hundred percent communist lunatic. He also said Democrats have
crossed the line by electing the assemblyman who was a
self proclaimed Democratic socialist, with Trump adding dummies are all
backing Mom Donnie. The New York Young Republican Club has
called Mam Donnie radical, adding he will destroy their beloved
(15:07):
city of New York. Mom Donnie secured the Democratic vote
over eight other candidates, including front runner Andrew Cuomo Natalie
Migliori wo ur news.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
All Right, so you remember King tut They discovered his
tomb in nineteen ninety two, and there was said to
be a curse that befell everyone who disturbed his final
resting place. Well, it was actually some sort of ancient
mold that made everyone sick. Now, this is interesting, according
to the New York Posts. Now researchers are saying that
the same mold can make a compound that kills cancer
(15:40):
cells in the lab without harming healthy ones. While it's
still early, results suggest this fungus compound might be a
starting point for new treatments. Next steps include more lab
studies and eventually animal tests. Researchers hope that discovery could
turn an old curse into a future hope against cancer.
What do you think of that?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Did you hear anything about that?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
I feel like I could never do something like this,
But it's been like open since nineteen ninety two, what's
been the hold up?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
If this is true, I'll tell you what. That kind
of stuff is always fascinating, right to me. No, absolutely,
I mean it is amazing the kind of stuff that
we're discovering every day. That's that's a tremendous story. But
when you first said King Tut, I of course didn't
think about the actual King Tut. I thought about I
(16:30):
thought about Steve Martin.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Really, But do you remember how they were saying that
it was everyone who disturbed his tomb was cursed.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
It was a curse.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
It was mold it was it was moldy.
Speaker 13 (16:42):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, people died days after.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Let's go back to Steve Martin. Okay, sorry, Jacqueline, that
was a very important story, and of course.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
It makes your cancer. But let's hear the song again. No,
I'm glad I like it, but it made it like
a little bit more fun.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Thanks so much, Jacquelyn Carl. How did a socialist win
the Democratic nomination and what happens next? We're going to
get to that in a second, but first we have
to congratulate Janito Tool from Allendale, New Jersey, who just
won a pair of tickets to see the Steve Miller
Band August twenty ninth at the PNC Bank Art Center.

Four Seasons the Last Don gors.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Well, I'm looking forward to talking to Hank Shinkoff. We're
going to get into him in one second, but I
want to play a talkback only because it relates to
what we'll be talking to Hank about.
Speaker 15 (20:38):
Good morning. I don't understand the democratic socialist nonsense. What
are we Hurtzpenske, what is it? A? Are we sugar
coating it? Just call it what it is. Run as
a socialist if that's what you'd want to be, Actually
run as a start a new party, the Communist Party,
(20:59):
if you want to be transparent.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Right, The only thing I'm going to say is that
the Communist Party probably wouldn't be a new party. But
who would know more about that than me? As Hank Schykov,
longtime Democratic consultants and political consultant. Hank, let me start
before you get Before you go ahead and respond to
the talkback, which I'd love you to do. I just
want to know what your reaction was Tuesday night when
(21:23):
the results came in.
Speaker 12 (21:26):
Well, look, Hank Shinkoff said, if you listen to the radios,
the TVs and everybody else lets you this in January,
that Sulton, Mondonmie could win this thing. So I'm not surprised.
What I think. I think that the demographics of New
York City have now been substituted for by age as
the more important demographic. This is a reflection of the
(21:48):
bankruptcy of the Democratic Party that has nothing new to
say and in fact has been taken over by socialist
And there's about young people who have never borne a
burden or paid a price or done the dirty work
of democracy. Two who have decided that they have a
due bill and that someone who was not even born
in this country hasn't lived your most o his life
(22:10):
has never also paid a price. No born in burdeny
is the one they need to defend themselves against what
against having to pay the price and democracy And it's
an very extraordinay thing to be. The Democrats have failed
because they think they thought that the way to deal
with Trump was to sit on the sidelines and do nothing.
But the Bernie Sanders AOC wing had a very different
view and the end result is that they're candidate for
(22:33):
mayor of New York City.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Won the race, won the primary. Uh, and that's a
little bit easier for him to win than in the
general election. If he continues by claiming to be a
socialist that's going to give free everything and have the
rich pay for it. Can he win the general election?
Speaker 12 (22:53):
It depends that the young people turn out. I mean
they are the ones that are propelled into office. It
depends how upset people are and how much education they have.
Not in a negative way, but it's just a clear
discussion about what Zoemandami's programs mean, what his his uh,
his idea about public policy could portend. That's the job
(23:16):
of the campaign. Can Can he be defeated today? It's
going to be tough. Curtis Lee, if you were a
New York Patriot and he is a New York Patriot,
should really drop out of the race, get find Eric
Adams and win the thing. Because He's not gonna win.
No one's going to vote for guying a red beret.
He's a very nice fellow who has some ideas, but
it has never managed anything you know of consequence. I mean,
(23:37):
this is not it's not gonna work. You need you
need to give Adams the opportunity to make his case. Uh,
And that is just a fact. Can you win? Can
Adams win? The answers yes, if it's if they run
a smart campaign. The Puomo campaign failed because the Pomo
campaign failed. Simple, You know, campaigns make the difference in
the campaign was did not do what it was supposed
(23:59):
to not because they lost because you knew that it
wasn't working. The polling kept shifting right, and it also
tells you about the failure of polling. You know, you
have a particulous style of usual gang of imbeciles who
said that Joe Crowley was up by I think fifty
one points. They keep doing the same thing and keep
coming up with false numbers and no one says, wait,
you're wrong. I also think this was a world result
(24:20):
and I hope will wipe out a people in a
political consulting business who produce crappy ads do crappy work
and should not be paid to do this and embarrass
everybody else.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'll tell you what, Emerson Poles looking really good right now.
A little shout out to them because they called it.
They said he was going to not buy this much.
They thought it was going to begin in the eighth round,
but they said, mom, Donnie was going to win at
the very end. But you're right, there was an excitement,
especially among Democratic voters between the ages of twenty five
and thirty five. Is there going to be enough of
(24:54):
them in the general election of when you're going to
have a much larger group of people coming out in
a highly competitive election that's going to get national attention.
Speaker 12 (25:06):
We don't know that yet. Why the Montdomie campaign was
extraordinarily well organized. People working, families, party and people from
all over the country were paid to show up here.
There were canvasses on the street from the beginning. The
number to watch that no one paid attention to was
was early voting. And instead of looking at it smartly,
(25:28):
which is who was coming out and where and by
doing that I mean posters pull pull samples from the
same houses so they can be polling right, instead of
looking at what we call They were looking at four
out of fours people have voted to the last four elections,
for the last three elections. I suggested a post a
friend of mine that they looked at one out of fours,
two out of fours younger people because they're the ones
who turned out to vote early. They were very well organized.
(25:50):
This is very much what was done in other cities
that have gone into the toilet, where ranked, where woke
DA's and woke officials have been elected, and this is
what New York's that he can look forward to an
attempt by outsiders to take it over and to put
Mandami whose silverspoon Mondomie is really what his name should be.
Never never put a callous on that hand.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, you're right. I will tell you one thing that
I noticed just recently. It was in his concession speech,
and then again he did it when he was interviewed
on an eyewitness news. He's now talking about Trump a lot,
and I thought that was an interesting shift because I'm
certain that's what he's going to use against Mayor Eric Adams,
and he's already started that campaign. That would be effective, right.
Speaker 12 (26:35):
Adams. Let's see, Trump is probably an eighty five percent
negative in New York City right now, and using Trump
against Adams would be very smart. We know now that
accusing Mondomie being an anti semi doesn't work with young
people because they don't care. But talking about the global
as the empty father, you can call it whatever you want,
but it means exactly what it says. You should note.
(26:57):
I think that this is the end of Jewish New
York and ethnic New York as we know it. It
is over. The white ethics don't have to say that
they used to. They've been replaced. And the children who
are just who have effectively been as responsible as developers
for the destruction of affordable housing in New York City
by gentrifying neighborhoods right right and then jacking up the
cost so they can earn on properties. Park Slope of
(27:18):
hypocrites are a classic example. And how many of them
have rentals and those brownstones. That's the world of Brad Lander.
Who's likely to be Brad Lander, the pro boycott Investment
Sanctions Controller New York City, is likely to be a
deputy mayor in the Mandami administration. Oh absolutely, yeah, no,
they really deserve each other.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Heanks Sheinkov, longtime Democratic consultant and political consultant. We hope
to talk to you, Hank right through the campaign. You
were great, Thanks a lot, appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Thanks for having me and I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Big moves in the twenty twenty five mayoral race. Mayor
Adams is set to make a major announcement today. Gee,
I wonder what that's going to be. And it looks
like Cuomo won't run as an independent this fall. That's
the way it looks like right now. How do New
Yorkers feel? WRS Natalie mcgleori gets the Beat on the Street. Next.
(28:12):
Our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back on September nineteenth and
twentieth in Las Vegas. Two big nights, one big stage,

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Now it's seventen WRS Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Wow, so much post election stuff to talk about. Mom, Domi, Cuomo,
Adams and Natalie mcgleori talks about it all on her
beat on the street. Natalie.
Speaker 16 (28:57):
Yeah, good morning, Larry. Another day, another development in the
race to be New York City's next mayor. Although we
all knew incumbent Mayor Eric Adams was seeking reelection, he's
now set to announce his re election campaign today. This
time he's running as an independent. So how do people
feel about this one?
Speaker 17 (29:18):
I liked Adams. I mean, I just felt that he
had the short end of the stick since he got
into office because of you know what New York is.
You know, I like Adams. I think he's a cool cat.
Speaker 18 (29:29):
I don't know. With Derek Adams, I don't know. I
think he's better for the city. He's running as an independent,
so I'm all for him.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I don't have anything against him. He runs the city
the way the best he could.
Speaker 19 (29:41):
He really did a lot for the underground, like help
people that were in need, but they didn't really put
that in the papers as much. They put more of
his mess.
Speaker 12 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (29:50):
The mayor had fallen out of favor with a spate
of New Yorkers after he was accused of corruption, but
the Department of Justice dropped those charges under the Trump administration.
We remember that lowry. We covered it through and through dumb,
but not everyone think the Biden administration had an agenda
against Adams.
Speaker 17 (30:08):
Anybody that was a higher up that he said no
to became his enemy. And you know the higher ups
they're looking for lab dogs and poor guy, you know,
because he said no all the time to them, that's
what he got.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
Adam said in jail's that's impol And I think every
New Yorker knows that.
Speaker 20 (30:22):
I think, too much corruption, too many allegations against him.
You know, if you're flinging up some of it's going
to stick. He's done. Same with Kuma.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You didn't have to ask me.
Speaker 20 (30:30):
I mean, we voted a fellon in his president, so
surely we could learn a lessener from that. We're not
a stupid population. We're probably informed, but we're not stupid.
Speaker 16 (30:39):
Well, President Trump surely things differently since Mayor Adams will
be going up against Republican nominee Curtis Leewa and Democratic
nominee Zoron mom Donnie. Mom Donnie is a Democratic socialist
who Trump called a one hundred percent lunatic communist.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
Well, I don't know him that well, I didn't study
or do any research on man Donnie.
Speaker 17 (31:02):
I don't like Trump rather the lunatic anybody that's I
guess that is good enough for me.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
One person doesn't make a difference. I feel like it's
all a part of a committee, a group to make
a decision.
Speaker 17 (31:13):
We all have to come together on one idea.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
So one person may not just influence the ideology.
Speaker 15 (31:18):
For New York City.
Speaker 16 (31:20):
Well, people are still getting used to the idea of
mom Donnie running Larry if they even know him at all,
not on my radar.
Speaker 19 (31:29):
Don't know what he's about now I'm about to find out.
Probably not a good thing for New York.
Speaker 18 (31:35):
I don't think he's ready to be mayor with his
views on how it should be run and everything. So
I think the defund the police is an idiotic move.
But you know, everybody has their own opinions.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
I like Man Adams as opposed to this new guy
what's his name, manor Connie, man Donnie, man Donnie. Yeah,
where did they come from? He's too young, thirty four
years old. Man Adams is from New York. He's from
New York. He'd been through so much. What's his name?
Mandanni can't even compare Adams. I don't think so.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Call him Manakani, I know, liketa condo away from the
black panther.
Speaker 16 (32:17):
Forget a maya, he's apasta. No anyway, Larry, I really
want you to think about this. Nine hundred and thirty
five hundred people voted in the primaries. At least four
point seven million people are registered to vote in New
York City. That means roughly twenty percent, just under one
fit the registered voters showed up for voting. What do
you think of that's? What's your take on that?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That was pretty good that you did the math on that. No,
here here in a in an election like a primary
where there's going to be low voter turnout, especially in
New York, if you can excite a certain portion of
the public, you can win. And that's exactly what Mam
Donnie did. It was he he got white voters between
(33:01):
the ages of twenty five and thirty five so excited
that they all went out to the polls. So good
for him. It was effective. He's a smart campaigner, there's
no question he's a great campaigner. That doesn't work in
a general election. You need more than that. You need
to cross over a little bit. You need to get
other voters. So he may have a tough time in
(33:22):
the general election, but you know what he's got. He's
got money, and he's got an organization, and he has
a message. And so those are the three things you need.
And he's a likable guy. He's a very likable guy
and a good politician. So I think it's going to
be really, really close, Natalie. I think it's going to
(33:42):
be very close. And but this what's so great about it.
This is the most exciting election mayor election we've had
in a long long time in this city.
Speaker 16 (33:51):
Yeah, and we have a front row seat to it.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's right. Natalie Miglio will be back tomorrow at age fifty.
Are you ready for a visit from thehologram dot com?
It's coming, But doctor Arthur Capelan doesn't think it's a
good idea. All that. After the nine o'clock News
Wow, have you gotten over the shock yet of what happened.
It's a day after the shocking Democratic primary and all
of it's still sinking in. That leads off the Big three.
The Democratic nominee is a socialist who has been an
American citizen for seven years, and he is now the
(00:23):
front runner to be the next mayor of New York.
It was more than shocking. I think most of us
just can't get over it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
But he is one of the most dangerous people that
I have seen in a very long time. How did
he even get to the point where he even has
a shot? I mean, he's a freaking socialist.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Now we have Laura Curran coming up in just a
couple of minutes. She was out in front saying it
was going to be Andrew Cuomo. Of course she wasn't alone,
and the polls were showing that too, So I can't
wait to talk to her about the result and what
she thinks about it. The FBI is investigating to find
the leak of a classified intelligence briefing of a damage
(01:07):
assessment on the strike on Iran's nuclear facility. I understand
the FBI is investigating who was the source of that
leak because it's an illegal leak to CNN and shot
a consequence to the leak or face jail. Not only
was the leak illegal, but the information that CNN and
The New York Times went with, we're just wrong. That's
(01:30):
according to the United States sources, it's according to Israel,
and it's according to the UN assessment. There's no doubt
that it was obliterated. So the reporting out there that
that that.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
In some ways suggests that we did not achieve the
achieve the objective is just completely preposterous.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, it seems the heat wave is over now, and
that's just tremendous news. But yesterday, on the third day
of record setting heat, a crowded Amtrak train got stuck
in a tunnel and it had no power on It
was on its way from Baltimore and New York.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
It's insanely hot on hair, and I can't imagine that.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
A few people here can last much longer because it's so.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Closing arguments begin in the Sean Didty Combs trial, and
the jury is expected to have the case by the
end of the day. So what's expected to happen.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Guilty transportation to engagement, prostitution. I think the Sex Trafficking
Council are going to be difficult both for Jane and
for Cathy, but especially for Jane because there's just so
many issues as to her text messages and how she
came off on the stand that she just wanted to.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Police her lover. Yeah, so don't be shocked if Sean
Ditty walks on most of the charges, not all, but
most of the especially most serious charges. And a horrible
accident on a beach in Asbury Park, New Jersey, when
a lifeguard falls off a stand and then is impaled
(02:57):
by an umbrella.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
It was just a free thing. As she was putting
it in, caught it, pulled it up, so when she
grabbed it, she was off balance so and aguess she
was on the top step of the bench, so she
fell backwards off the bench and the umbrella came with
her when she came down, and you just landed on
her arm.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It went through her arm, as a matter of fact,
and they had to saw it in half just a
transporter because they couldn't remove it there. But the lifeguard
is expected to be okay and is said to be
still in the hospital, but in good spirits. And now
let's get to Laura Curran, political commentator and former Nasau
County executives. Laura, I know you were out in front
(03:36):
on Cuomo all along and thought he was going to win.
You weren't alone. I'm not gonna It's not just you.
I think most people were. Heck, the poles were there.
So what did you think when you saw the results
Tuesday night?
Speaker 8 (03:49):
I was shocked.
Speaker 9 (03:50):
I actually went to bed and I woke up in
the morning very early and saw it. And I have
to tell you, I was very surprised. I think I
gotta I gotta maybe not be a political commentator because
I got it so wrong. We were talking in our conversations, Larry.
It was like, yeah, he's definitely gonna win, no question.
And then it was like, I remember the last time
(04:10):
I was on you said do you think he needs
to worry? And I said, yeah, Mom, Donnie is connecting
with people and young people to the point where, just
an example for you, I know teenagers and people in
their early twenties here on Long Island, who can't even vote,
who knew what his policies were, who understood ranked choice
voting because of him, who completely could articulate his attacks
(04:34):
against Cuomo and I said, Okay, this is a game changer.
This guy's really getting there. He's plugging in to young
people and giving them information in a way that they
receive it and understand it, which is not easy right now.
And I still thought Cuomo would win. I still thought
(04:54):
his support was deep enough. But the fact that it's
not even going to take some time really to figure
out with rank choice voting that he didn't win it
is very, very surprising to me. But I do have
to say about Mom Donnie.
Speaker 10 (05:08):
He ran.
Speaker 9 (05:09):
Now I'm not talking about his policies or as politics.
I'm talking about the campaign. It was a very good campaign.
He was authentic, he was joyful, He was everywhere every podcast.
He wasn't afraid of hard questions, and I think, you know,
in the age of Trump, people are looking for authenticity.
Speaker 11 (05:29):
One other thing that he did that I.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
Thought was was effective was talking about affordability. That is
something that affects everyone. Yeah, and that's very trumpy. That's
why Trump won. That was his big topic that in migration.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But he was on that, Laura, let's just just jump
in for one second. He was on that from the
very beginning. He jumped on that, and I saw Cuomo
in the last couple of days, tried to talk about it,
but it was too late.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Yeah, I think you're right. I think it was too
late because this guy had his Uh. He had, he
already had. That was his part so much, a part
of his branding.
Speaker 11 (06:07):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
And I feel bad for Cuomo, you know, that legacy
of his. I feel bad for all the folks who
worked on the campaign. But hey, the people have spoken
and here we go.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well wait a second, he is still on an independent line.
He can choose to run. I think we played a
SoundBite of him just a little bit ago where he
said he's he's talking to some of his supporters and
to some of his contributors to find out what he's
going to do. But he short had seemed defeated. And
just what you said right there, I guess you don't
(06:36):
think he's gonna run in the general.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Well, I don't know. I'm not in the man's head.
I would be surprised because it was such a decisive
by mom Donnie. But you know what, it's going to
be crowded. It's going to be five people, you know,
if he runs, that's a lot of people. And I'm
very worried about making predictions again, but I'm I'm a
little less cynical about the chances of Eric Adams to.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Be honest, I agree with you too, I.
Speaker 12 (07:05):
Actually has a gance.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Yes, no anti Mom Donnie safe person.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Eric Adams the same. Please please don't support me, Please
please don't say it's going to be me. But I
agree with you. And I've watched Eric Adams now. He's
really good. He is a very good campaigner. And I've
also been watching Mom Donnie. Now Mom Donnie didn't talk
about Trump a lot on the campaign trail, all of
a sudden he talked about Trump. And today again he
(07:32):
started talking about Trump because he's going to run against
Adams and he can tie Adams to Trump. Yeah, and
so he made a switch.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Yeah, that's actually a really good point. I don't know.
I don't know if that's going to work. I think
a lot. You know, Remember, this is a general primary.
It's not just I mean, it's a general election. It's
not just Democrats. And as we've seen, just about every
neighborhood in New York City has gone a little to
the right. In the last presidential election, Trump got more
votes than he's ever gotten so I don't know if
(08:04):
that's gonna you know, maybe in some places that'll hurt Adams,
but maybe in other places it'll actually help him.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, I tell you what, it's going to be turned
out again. And that's what hurt Cuomo the most. There
was an excitement about Mom Donnie. He got out his vote.
The people that were excited about him got to the polls.
There wasn't an excitement about Cuomo, and his vote didn't
turn out. If any of them, whoever was going to
get the most voters out because it was a low turnout,
because it was a primary that nobody really thinks matters,
(08:32):
then they win, and Mom Donnie won.
Speaker 11 (08:34):
That he I just think about.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
On election day, he walked the entire length of Manhattan,
fist bumping, taking crap from people, giving crap back, huggings,
fell selfies like was That was sort of encapsulated his campaign.
That sort of everywhere, everything everywhere, all at once, joyful.
He wasn't negative. He didn't run a negative campaign, which
I thought was interesting.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
It was very.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
Positive and joyful and very you know, good message. I
got a handed to the kid, good message. Discipline too.
He stayed on message.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I can't believe you just called him the kid. Yeah,
I know, he says he's thirty three years old. But
I think it may be a little dismissive to call
him the kid. But that's okay. I'm with you. I'm
with you. Let's let's dismiss.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
Them, you know, part time, a part time legislator who
potentially might be running the city. I mean, it's got
to give you a little pause.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I say, you know, Eric Adams had a great point.
He went through all the things that mom Donnie wants
to do, and he says, a mayor can't do that.
You know who can do that? An assemblyman? And he
goes and a mayor can't do this, He goes, why
hasn't he brought these things up before he was in
the Assembly for six years? How come we're hearing about
this now when he can't get it done? That's effective, isn't.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
It very effective? And that's something that Mayor Adams would
be very smart to continue hammering home because anything that
involves taxes you got to get state approval.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Absolutely, Thank you so much. Laura Carr and political commentator
and former national county executive. No, no, no, you were
you were far from being alone. I think the majority
were with you. Thanks so much, Laura. Trump has been
praise for strengthening NATO. Leaders say he saved the alliance
by pushing for bigger defense spending. W r's John Decker
(10:21):
is traveling back right now and will give us the
details next. What a I surprise. This is John Decker
Worr White House in Washington. Correspondent was in the Hague
for the NATO summit covering the President. He's on his
way back but from Heathrow Airport. He called in and
said he can talk to us about what happens. So John,
(10:42):
first of all, thank you so very much for that,
and and please tell us what happened.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Well. I think it was a very successful summit for
President Trump because for years, for ten years, he's been
pushing for all of the NATO members to, in his words,
pay their fair share. And that's exactly what he got
in terms of an agreement at the end of the summit,
an agreement that each and every one of the thirty
(11:09):
two members of NATO will increase their defense spending within
the next ten years. Spain is the outlier. They are
not going to meet the threshold of spending five percent
of their GDP on defense, but the President said he's
going to put pressure on them to increase that defense spending.
Over the course of his second term, there are reports.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That he was treated at a little differently than he
has been in the past. There was a deference to
the president. As a matter of fact. I heard one
of the questions and you were probably at that news
conference where somebody mentioned that the head of NATO called
him daddy at one point and they laughed about that.
Was there a new kind of deference and respect for
(11:52):
President Trump?
Speaker 13 (11:53):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (11:54):
I think so absolutely. I mean, the Secretary General of NATO,
Mark Ruda, treated the President with tremendous respect. They've known
each other for a decade, but you could see that
they get along very well. Much different type of vibe
As it relates to the way that Mark Ruda treated
(12:15):
President Trump versus the way that he treated Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Is the difference now because of what happened in Iran.
Speaker 10 (12:26):
No, I think it goes beyond that. I think they
just recognize that this is a president that you know,
very confident, you know that is confident in his skills
and what he can bring forward in terms of the
leader of NATO. I think that has a lot to
do with it. It didn't hurt, you know, in terms
of what happened over the weekend with the strike on
(12:48):
those three nuclear sites in Iran.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, in the middle of all this, during the NATO summit,
of course, we had the report out by the New
York Times and CNN's saying that the strike on Iran
wasn't as successful as it should have been. And it's
been a huge controversy since then because Israel's come out,
the UNS come out and said no, no, it was
extremely stressful. So what was what was the reaction there?
Speaker 10 (13:15):
Well, you saw the president, he got a few questions
on that. He wasn't pleased with the nature of those questions,
as you just mentioned. And US intelligence points out that
it was successful, Israeli intelligence points out that it was successful.
And I think there's no doubt about it that Iran
does not pose the type of threat that it did
(13:36):
two weeks ago, not only Israel but to the entire region.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
How is the Hague never been I've been there before.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
I've been there before. Yeah, it's a it's a lot different,
you know, as a town than Amsterdam. For instance. Amsterdam's
a fun place and we had great weather when we
were in Amsterdam for just today. The Haig's more buttoned up,
and of course so much security associated with the summit
as you can probably imagine.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Larry, Wow, one day I want to grow up and
be John Decker. John Decker, our White House corresponded in Washington.
Car responded, John, thanks so much for making time for us.
Really appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
Oh, of course, Larry anytime. So happy to be on
your show.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Bye bye, have a good trip, Bye bye now. Jacqueline
Carl with the eight thirty News, Jacquelin.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
President Trump says Iran's nuclear program was destroyed after US
air strikes. Trump stood by his statements Wednesday, calling it
quote a total obliteration. He's been fighting back following multiple
reports claiming early Pentagon intelligence suggested Aron's nuclear program was
only set back months, and President Trumps slamming the Democratic
(14:45):
nominee for New York City mayor.
Speaker 11 (14:46):
The President took to truth social calling Zoran Mamdannie a
one hundred percent communist lunatic. He also said Democrats have
crossed the line by electing the assemblyman who was a
self proclaimed Democratic socialist, with Trump adding dummies are all
backing Mom Donnie. The New York Young Republican Club has
called Mam Donnie radical, adding he will destroy their beloved
(15:07):
city of New York. Mom Donnie secured the Democratic vote
over eight other candidates, including front runner Andrew Cuomo Natalie
Migliori wo ur news.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
All Right, so you remember King tut They discovered his
tomb in nineteen ninety two, and there was said to
be a curse that befell everyone who disturbed his final
resting place. Well, it was actually some sort of ancient
mold that made everyone sick. Now, this is interesting, according
to the New York Posts. Now researchers are saying that
the same mold can make a compound that kills cancer
(15:40):
cells in the lab without harming healthy ones. While it's
still early, results suggest this fungus compound might be a
starting point for new treatments. Next steps include more lab
studies and eventually animal tests. Researchers hope that discovery could
turn an old curse into a future hope against cancer.
What do you think of that?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Did you hear anything about that?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
I feel like I could never do something like this,
But it's been like open since nineteen ninety two, what's
been the hold up?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
If this is true, I'll tell you what. That kind
of stuff is always fascinating, right to me. No, absolutely,
I mean it is amazing the kind of stuff that
we're discovering every day. That's that's a tremendous story. But
when you first said King Tut, I of course didn't
think about the actual King Tut. I thought about I
(16:30):
thought about Steve Martin.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Really, But do you remember how they were saying that
it was everyone who disturbed his tomb was cursed.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
It was a curse.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
It was mold it was it was moldy.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Com blocking Gold Hall of Famers, Frankie Valley in the
Four Seasons the Last Don gors.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Well, I'm looking forward to talking to Hank Shinkoff. We're
going to get into him in one second, but I
want to play a talkback only because it relates to
what we'll be talking to Hank about.
Speaker 15 (20:38):
Good morning. I don't understand the democratic socialist nonsense. What
are we Hurtzpenske, what is it? A? Are we sugar
coating it? Just call it what it is. Run as
a socialist if that's what you'd want to be, Actually
run as a start a new party, the Communist Party,
(20:59):
if you want to be transparent.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Right, The only thing I'm going to say is that
the Communist Party probably wouldn't be a new party. But
who would know more about that than me? As Hank Schykov,
longtime Democratic consultants and political consultant. Hank, let me start
before you get Before you go ahead and respond to
the talkback, which I'd love you to do. I just
want to know what your reaction was Tuesday night when
(21:23):
the results came in.
Speaker 12 (21:26):
Well, look, Hank Shinkoff said, if you listen to the radios,
the TVs and everybody else lets you this in January,
that Sulton, Mondonmie could win this thing. So I'm not surprised.
What I think. I think that the demographics of New
York City have now been substituted for by age as
the more important demographic. This is a reflection of the
(21:48):
bankruptcy of the Democratic Party that has nothing new to
say and in fact has been taken over by socialist
And there's about young people who have never borne a
burden or paid a price or done the dirty work
of democracy. Two who have decided that they have a
due bill and that someone who was not even born
in this country hasn't lived your most o his life
(22:10):
has never also paid a price. No born in burdeny
is the one they need to defend themselves against what
against having to pay the price and democracy And it's
an very extraordinay thing to be. The Democrats have failed
because they think they thought that the way to deal
with Trump was to sit on the sidelines and do nothing.
But the Bernie Sanders AOC wing had a very different
view and the end result is that they're candidate for
(22:33):
mayor of New York City.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Won the race, won the primary. Uh, and that's a
little bit easier for him to win than in the
general election. If he continues by claiming to be a
socialist that's going to give free everything and have the
rich pay for it. Can he win the general election?
Speaker 12 (22:53):
It depends that the young people turn out. I mean
they are the ones that are propelled into office. It
depends how upset people are and how much education they have.
Not in a negative way, but it's just a clear
discussion about what Zoemandami's programs mean, what his his uh,
his idea about public policy could portend. That's the job
(23:16):
of the campaign. Can Can he be defeated today? It's
going to be tough. Curtis Lee, if you were a
New York Patriot and he is a New York Patriot,
should really drop out of the race, get find Eric
Adams and win the thing. Because He's not gonna win.
No one's going to vote for guying a red beret.
He's a very nice fellow who has some ideas, but
it has never managed anything you know of consequence. I mean,
(23:37):
this is not it's not gonna work. You need you
need to give Adams the opportunity to make his case. Uh,
And that is just a fact. Can you win? Can
Adams win? The answers yes, if it's if they run
a smart campaign. The Puomo campaign failed because the Pomo
campaign failed. Simple, You know, campaigns make the difference in
the campaign was did not do what it was supposed
(23:59):
to not because they lost because you knew that it
wasn't working. The polling kept shifting right, and it also
tells you about the failure of polling. You know, you
have a particulous style of usual gang of imbeciles who
said that Joe Crowley was up by I think fifty
one points. They keep doing the same thing and keep
coming up with false numbers and no one says, wait,
you're wrong. I also think this was a world result
(24:20):
and I hope will wipe out a people in a
political consulting business who produce crappy ads do crappy work
and should not be paid to do this and embarrass
everybody else.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'll tell you what, Emerson Poles looking really good right now.
A little shout out to them because they called it.
They said he was going to not buy this much.
They thought it was going to begin in the eighth round,
but they said, mom, Donnie was going to win at
the very end. But you're right, there was an excitement,
especially among Democratic voters between the ages of twenty five
and thirty five. Is there going to be enough of
(24:54):
them in the general election of when you're going to
have a much larger group of people coming out in
a highly competitive election that's going to get national attention.
Speaker 12 (25:06):
We don't know that yet. Why the Montdomie campaign was
extraordinarily well organized. People working, families, party and people from
all over the country were paid to show up here.
There were canvasses on the street from the beginning. The
number to watch that no one paid attention to was
was early voting. And instead of looking at it smartly,
(25:28):
which is who was coming out and where and by
doing that I mean posters pull pull samples from the
same houses so they can be polling right, instead of
looking at what we call They were looking at four
out of fours people have voted to the last four elections,
for the last three elections. I suggested a post a
friend of mine that they looked at one out of fours,
two out of fours younger people because they're the ones
who turned out to vote early. They were very well organized.
(25:50):
This is very much what was done in other cities
that have gone into the toilet, where ranked, where woke
DA's and woke officials have been elected, and this is
what New York's that he can look forward to an
attempt by outsiders to take it over and to put
Mandami whose silverspoon Mondomie is really what his name should be.
Never never put a callous on that hand.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, you're right. I will tell you one thing that
I noticed just recently. It was in his concession speech,
and then again he did it when he was interviewed
on an eyewitness news. He's now talking about Trump a lot,
and I thought that was an interesting shift because I'm
certain that's what he's going to use against Mayor Eric Adams,
and he's already started that campaign. That would be effective, right.
Speaker 12 (26:35):
Adams. Let's see, Trump is probably an eighty five percent
negative in New York City right now, and using Trump
against Adams would be very smart. We know now that
accusing Mondomie being an anti semi doesn't work with young
people because they don't care. But talking about the global
as the empty father, you can call it whatever you want,
but it means exactly what it says. You should note.
(26:57):
I think that this is the end of Jewish New
York and ethnic New York as we know it. It
is over. The white ethics don't have to say that
they used to. They've been replaced. And the children who
are just who have effectively been as responsible as developers
for the destruction of affordable housing in New York City
by gentrifying neighborhoods right right and then jacking up the
cost so they can earn on properties. Park Slope of
(27:18):
hypocrites are a classic example. And how many of them
have rentals and those brownstones. That's the world of Brad Lander.
Who's likely to be Brad Lander, the pro boycott Investment
Sanctions Controller New York City, is likely to be a
deputy mayor in the Mandami administration. Oh absolutely, yeah, no,
they really deserve each other.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Heanks Sheinkov, longtime Democratic consultant and political consultant. We hope
to talk to you, Hank right through the campaign. You
were great, Thanks a lot, appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Thanks for having me and I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Big moves in the twenty twenty five mayoral race. Mayor
Adams is set to make a major announcement today. Gee,
I wonder what that's going to be. And it looks
like Cuomo won't run as an independent this fall. That's
the way it looks like right now. How do New
Yorkers feel? WRS Natalie mcgleori gets the Beat on the Street. Next.
(28:12):
Our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back on September nineteenth and

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Wow, so much post election stuff to talk about. Mom, Domi, Cuomo,
Adams and Natalie mcgleori talks about it all on her
beat on the street. Natalie.
Speaker 16 (28:57):
Yeah, good morning, Larry. Another day, another development in the
race to be New York City's next mayor. Although we
all knew incumbent Mayor Eric Adams was seeking reelection, he's
now set to announce his re election campaign today. This
time he's running as an independent. So how do people
feel about this one?
Speaker 17 (29:18):
I liked Adams. I mean, I just felt that he
had the short end of the stick since he got
into office because of you know what New York is.
You know, I like Adams. I think he's a cool cat.
Speaker 18 (29:29):
I don't know. With Derek Adams, I don't know. I
think he's better for the city. He's running as an independent,
so I'm all for him.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I don't have anything against him. He runs the city
the way the best he could.
Speaker 19 (29:41):
He really did a lot for the underground, like help
people that were in need, but they didn't really put
that in the papers as much. They put more of
his mess.
Speaker 12 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (29:50):
The mayor had fallen out of favor with a spate
of New Yorkers after he was accused of corruption, but
the Department of Justice dropped those charges under the Trump administration.
We remember that lowry. We covered it through and through dumb,
but not everyone think the Biden administration had an agenda
against Adams.
Speaker 17 (30:08):
Anybody that was a higher up that he said no
to became his enemy. And you know the higher ups
they're looking for lab dogs and poor guy, you know,
because he said no all the time to them, that's
what he got.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
Adam said in jail's that's impol And I think every
New Yorker knows that.
Speaker 20 (30:22):
I think, too much corruption, too many allegations against him.
You know, if you're flinging up some of it's going
to stick. He's done. Same with Kuma.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You didn't have to ask me.
Speaker 20 (30:30):
I mean, we voted a fellon in his president, so
surely we could learn a lessener from that. We're not
a stupid population. We're probably informed, but we're not stupid.
Speaker 16 (30:39):
Well, President Trump surely things differently since Mayor Adams will
be going up against Republican nominee Curtis Leewa and Democratic
nominee Zoron mom Donnie. Mom Donnie is a Democratic socialist
who Trump called a one hundred percent lunatic communist.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
Well, I don't know him that well, I didn't study
or do any research on man Donnie.
Speaker 17 (31:02):
I don't like Trump rather the lunatic anybody that's I
guess that is good enough for me.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
One person doesn't make a difference. I feel like it's
all a part of a committee, a group to make
a decision.
Speaker 17 (31:13):
We all have to come together on one idea.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
So one person may not just influence the ideology.
Speaker 15 (31:18):
For New York City.
Speaker 16 (31:20):
Well, people are still getting used to the idea of
mom Donnie running Larry if they even know him at all,
not on my radar.
Speaker 19 (31:29):
Don't know what he's about now I'm about to find out.
Probably not a good thing for New York.
Speaker 18 (31:35):
I don't think he's ready to be mayor with his
views on how it should be run and everything. So
I think the defund the police is an idiotic move.
But you know, everybody has their own opinions.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
I like Man Adams as opposed to this new guy
what's his name, manor Connie, man Donnie, man Donnie. Yeah,
where did they come from? He's too young, thirty four
years old. Man Adams is from New York. He's from
New York. He'd been through so much. What's his name?
Mandanni can't even compare Adams. I don't think so.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Call him Manakani, I know, liketa condo away from the
black panther.
Speaker 16 (32:17):
Forget a maya, he's apasta. No anyway, Larry, I really
want you to think about this. Nine hundred and thirty
five hundred people voted in the primaries. At least four
point seven million people are registered to vote in New
York City. That means roughly twenty percent, just under one
fit the registered voters showed up for voting. What do
you think of that's? What's your take on that?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That was pretty good that you did the math on that. No,
here here in a in an election like a primary
where there's going to be low voter turnout, especially in
New York, if you can excite a certain portion of
the public, you can win. And that's exactly what Mam
Donnie did. It was he he got white voters between
(33:01):
the ages of twenty five and thirty five so excited
that they all went out to the polls. So good
for him. It was effective. He's a smart campaigner, there's
no question he's a great campaigner. That doesn't work in
a general election. You need more than that. You need
to cross over a little bit. You need to get
other voters. So he may have a tough time in
(33:22):
the general election, but you know what he's got. He's
got money, and he's got an organization, and he has
a message. And so those are the three things you need.
And he's a likable guy. He's a very likable guy
and a good politician. So I think it's going to
be really, really close, Natalie. I think it's going to
(33:42):
be very close. And but this what's so great about it.
This is the most exciting election mayor election we've had
in a long long time in this city.
Speaker 16 (33:51):
Yeah, and we have a front row seat to it.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's right. Natalie Miglio will be back tomorrow at age fifty.
Are you ready for a visit from thehologram dot com?
