Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now let's get to Rich Lowry, editor in chief of
the National Review. He's with us every Tuesday at this time. Rich,
thanks for joining us, as as.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Always, my pleasure has it gone.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
We were just talking about how a campaign can change
in an instant, and it happens all the time. As
a matter of fact, it's going to happen a couple
of times in this may oral campaign, and every time
it happens it seems to expose the weakness the fantasy
of zorin Mom Donnie's campaign. And the most recent is
the shooting on Park Avenue and his soft on crime

(00:35):
policies and the fact that some of the words that
he's used in the path in the past about the
police force. Do you want to comment on that?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, I mean, there's an ample opportunity to make this
guy radioactive. He needs to be made radioactive. Problem is,
at the moment Adams and Clomo have higher on favorable
ratings than this communist who's a real threat to the
welfare of the city. So the other candidates need in
outside players, need to convince run of the mill ordinary

(01:06):
Democrats that he's a threat to their jobs, he's a
threat to their safety, and make them unacceptable. And if
you can do that, then you know, all sorts of
this does open up. If you don't, he's going to
win because all he needs to do is hold about
seventy five percent of Democrats, and he wins seventy percent
of the electorate, it will be Democratic Democrats, and he
holds about seventy five percent, that's enough to get over

(01:27):
the top. So there's a lot of work to be
done here, but a lot of material to work with.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I sure you saw the poll that everybody's been
running with across the country where he got fifty percent
of the vote. You know, talk about fantasy. And then
we find out that the Zenith polling was connected to him,
and the person that commissioned the poll was his top advisor.
And I think he went too far. If you're going
to rig a pole, you don't want to say that

(01:54):
Jewish voters are going to vote for you in mass
I mean, is anybody do you know anybody that's Jewish
in New York that's supporting this guy?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I do buy that, unfortunately, because I think a lot
of Jewish New Yorkers are died in the wool progressive
and they don't particularly like Israel either. So look, I
mean this guy, he should have been defeated in the
primary as malpractice at Cuomo lost to him, and I
think the odds are against stopping him, but it's possible,

(02:26):
and in really important to the future of the city.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Let me just back up for a second, because I
was blown away by what you just said. You think
that a vast majority of Jews in New York would
support Zorin Mom Dunny.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I don't know whether a vast majority, but a lot will.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
That's what the Pole says, a.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Lot will just because they're progressive, you know, and that
that's what matters to them, and that's what they're comfortable with.
They'd rather vote for a guy like that than, you know,
a conservative evangelical who's strongly philo Semitic and supports Israel
to the hill, you know, not my point of view,
not what I agree with. Yeah, unfortunately it's a fact.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well that's depressing to me. Rich rich Lowry, editor in
chief of the National Review. He's with us every Tuesday
at this time. Next week we'll get into some more issues.
Thank you so much, Rich, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Thanks for having
