Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now it's sevent ten w oars Beat on the Street
with Natalie.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Migliori Minty in the morning, Jimmy Faila in for Larry Menty,
and I'm about to toss it to a dear friend
of mine. We go back about a day and a half,
Natalie Bigliori joining us with the Beat on the Street.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Hey, you're all.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Jo Jimmy my great great friend. Nice to chat.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
New York City Democrats will start narrowing down the candidate
field for mayor when early voting kicks off tomorrow. So
the real question here is anyone planning on hitting the
polls ahead of actual primary day, which is Tune twenty four.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
No, I wasn't planning on it.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I have to do some more research on that. I
know who I'm gonna leave off the ranks and who
I'm gonna kind of have an idea of who I'm
gonna be on the ranks.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I think I have to do tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
I'm all set, baby, I'm going tomorrow. I'm already set
to do it tomorrow. I mean, this is not a
rocket science. You have two choices here, vote or don't vote.
If you vote, you have the right to make change.
If you don't vote, shame on you don't complain, and
don't complain about the changes.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Amen. There you have it. Some civically engaged people right there.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, I think I do believe you used the plural.
It was civically engaged person. There were Yeah, good stuff though.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Depends it depends on what you find now. The second
and final debate was held last night with former New
York Governor Andrew Cuomo and status emblement Duran Mom Donnie,
who both po well trading barbs. Some people would say,
you didn't even know the other candidates were there. Cuomo
questioning Mom Donnie's age and experience, while Mom Donni needled
into the sexual misconduct allegations that chase Cuomo out of

(01:45):
office in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Pomo was just like annoying me. He's so cocky and like,
I just think it's arrogant and he's not, you know,
for whatever the allegations were, he's just not substantiating anything.
Hard for you to forget, Yeah, big time. He has daughters.
He should know better.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
We're like, how is it a monkey in a barrel? Right?
If you climb out, the one on the bottom wants
to bring you down. It's unfortunate. It may or may
not have happened. It may have been perceived differently by
the other parties, but this is society we live in.
I take it for face value. I'm gonna look at
him professionally, not personally.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, no matter how you look at him, many people
I've talked to, and not just this morning, seem to
be leaning towards Fomo for well many different reasons.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
I believe he did a great job as governor, putting
together a great administration that made great decisions for the
state and for downstate, which is New York City, And
as soon as we get him in there, the changes
can happen.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
I liked him as a governor. You know, I had
no problems when it besides the personal stuff. But they
all seem to have baggage nowadays.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
You know he's cute, then you know he I like
the way he represents himself.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I like the way he talks, he do things, he
gets things done. I think that he's got an agenda,
and I think he's just trying to get back into politics,
because so what happened when he lost the governorship.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Wait, he said he was cute.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Too, cute. That's what he says.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh wow, he is cute.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But earthly voting runs for ten days ahead of actual
primary election, which is Tuesday, June twenty fourth. It's a
ranked choice voting system, so New Yorkers will get to
rank five of the nine candidates in order of preference.
That means your third choice could win. But either way,
at the end of it, the Democratic Party will be
left with one candidate, and people are hoping.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
For just somebody. That's fair and that's the right thing.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think one of the concerns for us is how
much rent is and you know, just making New York
more affordable again. I would like to see a better city.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
I mean, I would like to see a cleaner, safer
all the crime that is being committed, have you heard
of it?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
It will be nice if we had a safe city,
wouldn't I don't know.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
There's a lot going on. It seems like a lot
of anger in the city and a lot of mental
health needs to be addressed.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
Just looking at what's going on now, I think we
knew new leadership in the state and city.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
There was so much corruption.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
This is a joke, this is a job.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
I can't I can't.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
It's just too much.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, Jimmy, I don't know if he's heading to the polls.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
He was a maybe. But you did something. You made
a breakthrough today. Nat, you found the one woman that's
not going to meet too Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
There you go. I've found a lot of women over
this democratic cycle that's not going to meet to him.
They seem to be Cuomo sexual. That was remember that was.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
The well he still got that going for him. So
if he doesn't get his hands on the mayor's office,
he can go back to getting his hands on the staffers.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Nat, there you go.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
We'll always have this. It was amazing, a moment in time.
