Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, like it. I get a feeling. I got a
feeling it's gonna be the next Nick's Oklahoma City in
the NBA Finals. I'm sure rob Astorino gets that same feeling.
Rob Astorino is the host of The Rob Astorino Show
on w r Saturday is from four to five pm.
He's host of Saturday Agenda one to three on Newsmack's
(00:21):
former Westchester County executive and a visitor of the White House.
You were at the White House yesterday?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I was, Yeah, I was. But first, if the Knicks
keep playing defense like they played last night, and if
Brunson lights him up like he did last night, they
could they could force the game seven. But I mean
it's wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
A second, you ended at game seven. They could force
the game seven. Oh, you're taking it one game at
a time, that's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, yeah, I get now, I thing one game at
a time, one game at a time.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
No, you're absolutely right. Hey, listen, should we be afraid
of mom Donny?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh my god? Yes? Oh yeah. This guy was always
on my radar because he fits the times right now
for the left. And I'm not talking Democrat, I'm talking
left and the leftists in our city, and unfortunately there's
way too many. Plus there's just very naive, ignorant voters
who get swooped up in all this just like an AOC.
(01:24):
And this guy is frightening if he actually gets in,
because if he gets in, there's no rails, there's no
Republican city council. There's no moderate, normal city council. There
is a city council stuffed with imbeciles and ignoramuses like
this guy, and so they will go along with a
(01:46):
lot of what he wants, like government run New York
City run supermarkets because they do everything else, so well,
why not open up a food store? What could go wrong?
A free bus, this is free child care, free everything,
and of course an enormous increase in taxes. So yes,
I think we should take it very seriously. I know
(02:08):
Cloma was taking him seriously. And this is the kind
of thing that scares safe incumbents. And I'm going to
put Clomo in the incumbent there, even though he's not mayor,
but you know former governor who he is, who he is.
When a guy like this, or a woman like this,
anything candidate like this catches fire. And this is Amdami.
(02:30):
Guy has a ton of money, he's got all these
proposals that the Wakaduo's love, and he's he's got momentum.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think he's going
to win the Democratic primary. But when he runs from
mayor and the votes are deluded and you have several
people who are considered moderate Democrats and you have Curtis leiwa,
he's scary. I mean, if he can get thirty five percent,
he becomes mayor of New York City.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah. Well, I mean he's got to get through all
this stupid ranked choice voting thing. And that's where in
these you know, simulations, in these polls, Cuomo wins on
like the sixth seventh ballot. But this is where the
you know, this is where the second, third, fourth choice
that people put on their stupid rank choice voting New
(03:19):
York City ballot really comes into play. And this is
where these other candidates now are starting to team up.
So it'll be interesting to see if Zam Dami does
try to tea up with some other candidates, because if
he does, you know, they're basically telling you know, someone else.
Let's say, I know you're going to vote for Adrian Adams,
(03:40):
but make me your second choice. So when Adrian Adams
falls off, if she does, then Zamdami picks up her
votes and that's how it accumulates to potentially winning. It's
just it's such a horrible stupid system. Instead of one
vote one person, you get like six votes. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I agree with you, but you were talking about Cuomo
winning on this six or seventh ballot. That's exactly why
I'm scared. Because Cuomo's really holding steady with his support
mom Donnie keeps growing and I think that everybody was
looking at him going, oh, he's a socialist. You know,
he was like a cautionary tale for a while, but
now he's a serious threat because the more people get
(04:19):
to know him. As you said, and it's all by
the way, it's all liberal whites. He's getting like no
MINORTI support.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah no, because liberal whites have become the stupidest people
right now. They're the stupidest voters. They're the ones that
are doing this, driving this far left nonsense in the
Democratic Party. I mean it's in many ways it's liberal
whites that are being the most anti Semitic. It's liberal
whites that are the socialists. It's just and by the way,
(04:48):
for the most part, these are wealthier and quote unquote
educated people who are doing this too.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Hey help me with this latest deportation caused the leb
this high school student twenty year old high school student
Dylan in New York City. I understand that it's hard
not to make a mistake when you're deporting so many people,
but this sure does seem like a mistake. I keep
(05:16):
waiting for the I keep waiting for the other story
to come out, and the silence is really bothering me.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, look, I agree, I would wait because in all
these other cases there have been instance there something else
has come out, right, you know, the Democrats were fast
to run, scream, make a cause, the lab of whomever,
and then all of a sudden, new stuff kept coming out.
So I don't know if it will or won't. And yes,
I agree, when you're trying to figure out all these
(05:47):
people who need to be deported for various reasons, you're
going to make a mistake. And and by the way,
if it is a mistake, they should admit it and
that's that done and over with. But unfortunately, with all
the these other non mistakes these violent criminals, these criminals who
are back and forth over the border with deportation orders
(06:08):
and still being allowed to stay here by judges. I mean,
this is what this is what people are really angry
about and scratching their heads about. And I mean that's
the biggest frustration.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I agree with you, Rob. This one feels different, though,
doesn't it. It just feels I.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Think so, I think so. Yeah, But again with all
these other cases, I would I would almost reserve judgment
for a little while. But obviously if it's if it's
wrong then and then it's wrong, we need to admit
it and make sure that doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah. I hate that it happened. I really do believe
it happened because they they didn't like the numbers. Trump
didn't like the numbers. Homan didn't like the numbers. They
wanted more. They put pressure on the guys. And when
you put pressure on people just to make arrest, these
mistakes are going to be made. Hey, you're gonna be
talking about this this weekend?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Uh yeah? Yeah. What I really want to talk about
is the twenty million dollars Democrats had to spend to
figure out how to spend.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Money I love that story. Just burning money. Rob Astreno,
