Speaker 1 (00:00):
This hour of programming on seven ten double AR. He's
sponsored by Toyota City and Mamaranac and Nissan City of
port Chester, proud members of the Integrity Automotive Group now
former Westchester County Executive Rob Aristorena on seven ten double UOA.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And away we go five minutes past four o'clock on
this Saturday, getting late in July already, Jeez, it's going
to be August. And then school starts and the leaves
start to fall, the sweaters go, oh my god, let's
just enjoy what we got. What I got for you.
This hour is an opportunity to call in one in
(00:45):
hundred and three two one zero seven ten one eight
hundred three to two one zero seven ten because you're
always part of the show, as is Bruce and Noah
on the other side of the glass keeping us going.
So a bunch of things I'm going to talk about.
I'm going to talk about these poles came out, which
I think the headlines are misleading about this being a
really tight race. I'm not so sure in New York City.
(01:06):
But I'll go through the numbers because there's warning signs
and positives for all the campaigns. Walden aside. I mean
he's not even registering so but for the other ones,
including Mamdami, there are some red flags. But from Mamdami's
perspective looking at these numbers, I mean they're pretty healthy,
(01:26):
believe it or not. And then later I definitely want
to talk about I was in church this week in
the city and there at the end of my pew
was a dog. Now this was not the Blessing of
the Animal's Day. This was a regular Sunday Mass Catholic
church in New York City, and there's a dog in
(01:48):
the mass. I hope you didn't go up to receive communion. Anyway,
we'll talk about that, because I think this is getting
completely out of control. And I'm a big dog lover.
I have two of my own. Just watched a neighbor's
dog for a week, so we had three dogs this
week in my house, and my daughter's watching another neighbor's
dog who they went away. So trust me, I love dogs.
(02:13):
This is getting a little silly, though, but I put
that on the side for one second, but I am
going to talk about that. I'd be interested to see
what you think. Had won eight hundred and three to two,
one zero seven ten all right, let me tell you
about this New York City mayoro's race for just a
moment here, because two poles came out. Everyone's trying to
make hay On this headlines a little deceiving. But like
(02:36):
I said, there's some good news for each candidate some
bad news as well. So the Harris X poll came
out headline, tight race emerges, It emerges in New York
City mayoral general election. But Cuomo stronger than Adams against Mamdami.
All right, five hundred and eighty five registered New York
(02:56):
City voters conducted online over two days. Five hundred and
eighty five is not a big poll in New York City.
It's just not and conducted online. You know how many
online surveys I've got thinking I'm a woman, by the way,
from wherever that seriously, whoever has my number thinks I'm
(03:16):
a woman and so and a Democrat, And so I
respond to these poles just to screw them up. But
I'm thinking how many other situations like me is happening
with other people who are responding to polls. But anyway,
the Harris New York City poll in a four way race,
Ma'm Dommy's getting twenty six percent, Cuomo twenty three, Sleeva
(03:39):
twenty two, and Adams thirteen fifteen percent undecided. Now in
a three way race without Adams, okay, he's not going anywhere.
So all this is they're projecting that these people are
dropping out, not happening, and their names stay on the ballot.
But anyway, let's just have fun without Adams. Cuomo is
(04:01):
statistically tied with Mam Domi and Sleea's right there. So
basically they're saying, if Adams is out, it's a three
way tie without Cuomo. If he drops out, and that
thick headed numskull is not going to do that. But
if he let's just pretend again that he drops out.
Mam Domi leads by ten points, he gets thirty five,
(04:23):
Sliewa gets twenty five, and Adams gets nineteen. Head to head,
Mam Dommi beats Adams forty three thirty six, but he
trails Cuomo thirty five to fifty, a fifteen point advantage
for Cuomo head to head with Mamdammy. I'm not I'm sorry,
I'm not buying any of this margin nevera four points, okay,
(04:44):
So that was the HarrisX poll data for Progress, and
here I got all the top lines and the and
the cross tabs. Okay, so this was done basically the
same time, first couple of days of July, and this
is seven hundred and fifty six likely New York City voters. Again,
this is SMN texting and everything, but the Harris poll
(05:07):
was registered voters. Any old person who's registered to vote
but may not vote that registered and likely two very
different outcomes generally speaking. Okay, so likely voters means yeah,
they're engaged, they're going to go to the polls, they
may have already voted in the primary. Whatever. So let
me just break down some stuff from this poll here, okay,
because they test different people and just like you're curious,
(05:32):
maybe aoc her favorable and unfavorable. Again, this is only
New York City. She's had a fifty four favorable thirty
nine unfavorable. You'd think she'd be a lot more popular
in New York City, but she's not. She's definitely not
popular with independents or Republicans, but Democrats still like her.
(05:52):
All right, let me go into the Democratic Party. So again,
this is what do you think of the Democratic Party
in New York City? With new York City voters. It's
a little surprising Democrats. Okay, self identified Democrats, it's a
plus forty nine, so seventy four percent like their party,
twenty five percent don't. That's actually a big number. Overall,
(06:16):
it's forty nine to forty nine, So independents are breaking
almost two to one against more than two to one
against the Democratic Party in New York City. That's interesting
because that does mean that they could break from their
from the Democratic nominee Kathy Hochel, she's a minus one
forty six fave forty seven unfave. Democrats are propping her up,
(06:38):
and independences don't like her. Neither do Republicans. All right, now,
let me get into these candidates, okay, because this is
really what matters. Oh yeah, I'll throw out the Donald
Trump number. It kind of is what you'd think. It
is twenty six favorable, seventy one unfavorable from minus forty
five among New York City voters. You know what is
favorable rating is with Democrats. This is like the surest going.
(07:00):
So if you run into Democrats, guaranteed they hate Trump.
Only four percent of Democrats are favorable towards Donald Trump.
With all he is doing to help the economy in
New York City, to clean up New York City, to
make it safer, to get rid of violent, criminal everything,
you name it. Only four percent ninety three percent unfavorable
(07:24):
with Democrats in New York City. All right, So let's
get into the candidates per second. Okay, let's take well,
let me take Mam Domi since he is winning. Right now,
let me get to the mam dommie page here? All right, So,
Mam Domi, where where'd it go? Too?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Too?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Am I missing the page? Hold on? Where'd you go?
Ma'm dommy? Hold on? I got it here somewhere? Where
did I put that one? All right? Here's the okay,
ma'am Dommy forty nine forty favorable to unfavorable over in
New York City Democrats. Sixty four percent of Democrats in
(08:04):
New York City have a favorable view of Mamdami And
they know this guy. Only fourteen percent haven't heard enough
of him. So they're listening. They know what he stands for,
and they still favor him. They still like him. That's frightening,
and that's that's problematic independence independence. He's a plus four.
(08:26):
So even independent voters in New York City who tend
to leave lean left. They like this guy, so it's
not enough. And women really like him, whether it's his
looks or they just you know, women tend to be
more left because unfortunately they want more stuff for free.
That's just the way it is. But Mamdami's numbers are
(08:49):
not unhealthy despite the attacks he's getting. So this is
where the other three candidates have to beat the living
daylights out of him. And will it work. I don't know,
because the fallback generally is if he's a Democrat, I'm
a Democrat. I'm gonna vote for the Democrat. That's the
problem that they face. Okay, let me go to the
(09:09):
other candidates. Cuomo. Cuomo is a thirty nine favorable, fifty
nine unfavorable. With Democrats, he's a minus nine. With independence,
he's a minus forty three, and with Republicans. Republicans he's
only a minus fifteen because they see him as maybe
(09:32):
safe harbor. But wait till I get to the mayor's numbers.
But here's the problem with Cuomo. He's a minus fifteen
with women, he's a minus twenty five with men, and
people under forty five can't stand him. He's a minus
fifty six, so they know him. Obviously, only one percent
(09:56):
haven't heard or know enough about Andrew Cuomo. So they've
made up their minds on this guy and they can
stand him. That's the problem. Now, where he's doing well
or okay, is with blacks plus five and with Latinos
he's only a minus seven. He's a minus thirty eight.
With white people, Curtis Sliwa, Curtis is a thirty two
(10:17):
favorable fifty unfavorable. Now, think about this. He has been
fighting his whole life to make the city safer, especially
for minorities, and yet here's his numbers with minorities. With
blacks he is twenty seventh fave fifty three unfavorable, with
Latinos twenty eight fave fifty one unfavorable. It's like, what
(10:37):
has he been doing his whole life trying to protect
people in in vulnerable neighborhoods from the scum in the
in the subways, beating the hell out of people, and
yet this is how they're kind of rewarding him. But
with quote college educated, he's a minus forty two and
with females he's a minus twenty three. So Curtis has
(11:00):
a way to go. And Eric Adams, I've never seen
numbers this bad. His favorability out of all those surveyed
is only twenty nine percent. His unfavorable is seventy percent.
He's a minus forty one. With Democrats, he is a
minus sixty twenty fave eighty unfavorable. That's why he didn't
(11:23):
run a primary. His own party hates him because he
was working with Trump, or Trump let him go, that's
the reason independence. He's a minus forty six. With Republicans,
he is a plus twenty two sixty favorable, thirty eight unfavorable,
which means the Safe Harbor voters that were going to
(11:45):
go towards Cuomo, they could easily go to Eric Adams
as well if they're trying to stop Ma'm dommi. So
this is the issue that they're all facing. They're gobbling
each other's potential votes up, and none of them are
going to get added there. That's just none of them
are going to get out of there. So I just
I just don't see it. I'm looking at these numbers
(12:09):
head to head in the poll that Ma'm dommy gets
a forty percent of the voters right now, Cuomo twenty four,
Adams fifteen, cur Is fourteen. That's in this poll. With Independence,
ma'am Dommy's getting forty two percent of the vote. With
Democrats he's getting fifty two percent. And remember that's a
bigger pool. Fifty two percent of a much bigger pool
means more more actual votes. And with the so called
(12:34):
college educated, he's getting fifty seven percent of the vote.
Under forty five voter, he's getting sixty eight percent of
their vote. Oh yeah, yeah, all right, I don't want
to talk about Mam Dommy anymore. I want to talk
about something.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Really.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It annoyed me and I'm like flabbergasted at this. This
past Sunday, I met a co wor in New York City,
So I came in from Westchester Sunday morning. We're gonna
have breakfast, so I got here early. It was easy,
like I flew right down. I made it from my
house into a parking spot on the street like it
(13:13):
was waiting for me in thirty five minutes, no traffic
with the Yankee game coming up, so I was lucky. Anyway,
I'm walking around to kill a little time before we
go to the diner and I go to church. What church.
Was it now?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It was on.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It was between First and York at around seventy second Street. Well, no, no,
like near seventy ninth Street. I have to look it up.
I forget the church anyway, beautiful church. So I go
in there. Mass had just started, and I'm looking a
few pews down or actually towards the back which I'm
(13:52):
ready to go into, and there is at the end
of the pew like an eighty pound golden doodle. Not
with a service dog, you know, identification. No, somebody thought that, hey,
I'm going to church, so I'm gonna bring my dog
(14:13):
to church. And the dog is sitting there at the
It was pretty much behaved, I'll give it that, but
I couldn't stop fixating on this dog. The dog wasn't praying,
the dog wasn't gonna like give money to the collection basket.
And the dog thankfully did not go up received communion.
But I cannot believe that there was a dog. Somebody
(14:36):
thought it was okay to come in off the street
and bring an eighty pound golden doodle. Beautiful dog. My
mom has two of them. An eighty pound golden doodle
to a Catholic Mass, and the priest didn't say anything,
but I mean, I don't. So then when I leave church,
I actually went to and met my friend at the
(14:59):
Gracie Used diner, which was right around the corner. There
were two dogs in the diner, two dogs, one inside
one outside. I'm sitting here saying, what the freak is
going on here? Seriously? A dog in church and a
dog where I'm ready to eat. None of these dogs, again,
(15:20):
were service dogs. Let me very clear about that. One
person has his dog on his lap as he's eating
his eggs. Another dog was sitting by the other person's
side at the booth. Now I don't I mean again,
you might say, well that what's wrong with that? I
think there is something wrong with that. I love dogs, Mike,
(15:43):
Bella and my Luna. I love them. Now I wish
I never had the dogs in the bed, but now
I can't get him out. And Luna literally sleeps against
my side. No matter when I get in the bed,
she moves from wherever she is. She walks up to me.
It's the cutest thing, I have to admit, And she
sits right up against my hip and now inevitably I
(16:04):
find my hand on her. And that's the way we
go to bed. I'm more intimate with my dog than
my wife. Sometimes I'm sitting there next to my dog
all the time. With my wife, I can't even reach
her in the in the bed because we've got the
dogs there. Am I the only one that thinks this
is wrong? A dog in church, and then a dog
at two dogs at a diner. And and by the way,
(16:28):
this is the first time I've seen dogs. I've seen
cats too at food establishments. Forget about in the airport,
forget about on the plane. This is getting to me.
It's getting a little ridiculous. One hundred and three two
one zero seven ten. One hundred and three to two
one zero seven ten. You can tell me I'm completely wrong,
(16:50):
go right ahead. But the last thing I want is
someone someone's dog barfing or pooping or peep peeping or
whatever as I'm trying to eat. One hundred and three
two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Uh.

The lovely Sondra from New Jersey will lead us off
(21:35):
because she has invited me. See the things you learn
about the callers that you have. Lovely Sondra, by the way,
she is a muckety muck with the Women's National Republican
Club and she has invited me to speak, and I
am going to speak in midtown Manhattan at their beautiful
location right near Rockefeller Center November thirteenth. I'm gonna talk
(21:59):
to talk to all the lovely ladies there and men
who show up and men who identify as ladies on
November thirteenth. How are you, Sandra, I'm very.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well, thank you. You know, Robbie were talking about service
dogs and dogs tonight today. You're not gonna like me
very much because I broke all those rules. I had
a dog named Snowball, and the deal was and I
had her for fifteen and a half years and the deal.
And the deal was take me, you take my dog.
And on the very high holidays, we used to go
(22:32):
to the Catskills for the holidays and Snowball came along too,
and there was no way I was going to leave
her alone in the room. So she came to the
synagogue and my sister's significant other would get very angry,
but take me, take my dog, but the rabbis I
didn't mind because Snowball was quiet in her bed. And
(22:53):
I also remember we took a drive to Canada for
Russia Shona one time where they blow the bugle and
all that stuff, and I and me and Michael found
a temple and we said, we have a dog, is
that okay? And the rabbit said absolutely, bring her in
and we did. And I remember when Snowball was alive,
(23:14):
my poor husband, it always cost him fifty dollars extra
on a Saturday night when we would go out because
I wouldn't leave her alone. She had to have a
babysitter my So so ever, since Snowball passed away, I
have a cat named Hunter, and Hunt has taught me
I don't have to be like that. Hunt is good
when he's alone, and I have learned, so when I
(23:37):
do get another dog someday, I hope to behave a
little differently. But Snowholl had the service card. As she
went to the movies, she went to the restaurant, she
went to the hotel, she went on everywhere I went.
She was in my shadow. And that's the truth. And
when she died, I grieved like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Oh yeah, no, Well, life will not be the same
and almost unimaginable if and when, obviously, when the day
that Bella and Luna, our dogs, pass away, I mean,
there's no my wife. I told you, you know several
weeks ago that we got a camper, right, so we
leave it up in Rhode Island, and my wife is
up there. She's spending a lot of time up there.
(24:18):
God bless her because she's a teacher. So she's off
for the summer. I'm gonna go up either tomorrow or
Monday for a couple of days. And it's right on
the beach. It's beautiful. But the campground does not allow animals,
so we're not allowed to take Bella and Luna with us,
which is killing us. It kills my way. The only
reason my wife is coming home at all this summer
(24:39):
is to see the dogs, not me, not the kids.
The dogs. Totally get it. I totally get it, Sondra,
thank you for the call. But here's the thing, Like
in church, and Catholics will understand this. So in the
most reverent part of the Mass, okay, the reason, the reason,
whether Catholics realize it or not, the reason we go
(25:00):
to Mass is for the celebration of the Eucharist, God
Jesus' actual presence, the body and blood. Right. So I'm
just imagining at this at some point, the priest, it's
every everyone's on their knees, praying right, eyes closed, probably,
and the priest says, you know, takes the takes the bread,
gives it to his disciples, and said and then all
(25:22):
of a sudden woof, woof. I mean, that's what I'm imagining.
That's what I'm imagining. At that moment, that dog is
gonna start barking. Everyone's either everyone's either gonna totally laugh,
which is gonna totally ruined the most important part of Mass,
(25:43):
or people are gonna be just as angry as you
would be when the phone goes off. When somebody's cell
phone inevitably goes off because they bring it to church
with them and they forget that they didn't put it
on silence. Okay, that's all another thing. Uh. The Rob
asked show here on seven to ten, wor Jeff and Maplewood?
(26:03):
How are you? Jeff?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Oh, Rob, you must be getting popular. It's harder to
get through to you. But I was just calling because
you know, you've talked about Mendami and I think maybe
not him per se, but somebody like Mindabi is inevitable
in New York and New Jersey's not a lot better
because people accept basically socialism. They just don't realize. What's
(26:30):
the difference, Doc Trinally, between somebody calling for a minimum
wage of seventeen dollars an hour and Mendabi calling for
thirty dollars an hour? What's the difference between rent control
and a rent freeze. I mean, it's the same thing,
Doc Trinally, It's just oh, he's a little too much
more expensive.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
No, you're right. I remember when when New York City,
well actually New York State, and of course it was
who do you think it was called? Who started to say,
you know, the whole fifteen and fifteen thing. I remember
when the unions were pushing this, the Working Families Party,
and then Cuomo of course gave in, no, we need
(27:12):
a work in wage blah blah blah. Anyway, fifteen dollars
in the year twenty fifteen, that's what they were pushing.
And I remember I was county executive at the time,
and I was being asked, you know, what do you
think would you support this? I said absolutely not, no,
no way. And what do you think fifteen and fifteen
is going to become? It's going to become very soon
twenty and twenty, and then of course thirty and thirty,
(27:34):
and we're gonna get there. There's no question. We just
got there quicker than I thought. Because Ma'amdammi in thear
twenty twenty five wants a thirty dollars an hour rache.
But what's the difference? Why if it's so good, why
don't we make it one hundred dollars an hour? Wouldn't
that even be better? One eight one hundred and three
to two to one zero sevent ten? Speaking of mam Domi,
so I don't know if you heard this, but you
(27:55):
know they're obviously they're digging up everything that they've got
on this guy. And when you do a podcast or
when you're in the public eye, you say a lot
of things, right, I mean I said a lot of things.
Some of them are probably dumb, but they're out there somewhere.
But ma'am DOMI more and more of who he really is,
and we know, but it's being proven. Again. They unearthed
(28:19):
something he was on, i think the Far Left podcast
a few years ago, the Far Left podcast. So anyone
who goes on that, you know, is on the far left.
Otherwise they'd be like me, I'd go on that to
argue with them. But anyway, he was asked about prisons, jails.
This is what this guy said. This is the wanna
be mayor of New York City. This is what he
(28:42):
said on that.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
That form is that every single person should have housed.
And I think, faced with these two options, the system,
the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right
for what And if there was any system that could
guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition
of private property or you call it, you know, just
(29:04):
a state wide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what
is going on right now, And I think that people
try and play like gotcha games about these kinds of things,
and it's like, look, I care more about whether somebody
has a home.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Then whether or not they're allowed to have private property.
I had the wrong cut there, but in a different cut,
he said that there should be no prison He doesn't
understand why we have prisons or jails. They think about
that for a second. He doesn't understand why we have
prisons or jails. Of course, on the other side of
that is defund the police. So he really wants no
(29:38):
law enforcement. He wants no cops, and he wants bad
guys to remain on the street. And then on the
private property, there should be no private property. There should
not be billionaires, which means people should not be successful.
We should all be the same. I mean, obviously, the
more we know, the worst this guy gets. And yet
(29:59):
as those polls, as I just mentioned in the in
the cross tabs, people understand because he only has a
fourteen percent never heard of So people understand and have
heard about this guy and know because he went through
the primary and he's getting a lot of publicity. And
still with everything coming out, you've got self identified Democrats
(30:21):
and independence in New York City tend to be left leaning.
They're supporting this guy, and that's a pretty big pool
to draw from. Scott in the Bronx here on seven
to ten, W Scott, I'll.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Give the my uh comment in a minute. But with
regard to you know, the Middle East and Jeffrey Epstein
possibly being a Masat agent.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Uh, there's talking about when I haven't even talked about this, Scott,
I was talking about the mayor's raised dogs in church
and you know, you go deep into the Epstein files already.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I does like to broach the subject if it's.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Possible, all right, keep it quick, go.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Ahead, Okay, no problem, but first I'll get to I
get to the comment in a minute. But there's a
foundation funded by two Republican congressmen. It's called a Council
for the National Interest. And basically what they do they
act to provide more objective information about the Middle East
than our foreign policy in that part of the world.
(31:25):
That's apart from the NonStop propaganda you get in the
mainstream media. It's more balanced, it's more objective. It's called
the Council for the National Interest. Now that being said,
with regard to Epstein, I want to make sure that
everyone understands that Israel as a country has had a
very long history, ugly history of engaging that spionad against
(31:46):
the United States. Probably the most glaring example of that
is another spy, Jonathan J. Pollard, who under the Obama
administration was released and became an Israeli citizen after you
became the most in US history.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I think we got Yeah, Scott, I gave you a chance.
I did. I really I tried. I really tried. Sean
and Rockland County. You're on seven to ten wr Hey Sean, Oh.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
Hi, Rob, great show and Man Danny running this mamby Bambi.
I really this is unfortunate what's taken place. But you
got to realize a lot of people come into New
York City, you go to a certain place and then
you just get out of town. The city is now
feeling the effects of the sixty five immigration now kicked
(32:36):
in in a lot of Muslims voted for him. There's
an over a million Muslims in New York City that
are in this city, and some of them are registered
to vote, and someone are going to get registered vote
to vote for Man Danny never brought up for it.
You know, they had four hundred thousand votes he had
in the primary. They're not all college kids. Come on,
let's not keep fooling the audience and saying this. There's
(32:59):
a lot of radic in this country and in Muslims too,
and same thing in little Somalia in Minnesota. Look at
the guy who's running for Maya Day. He's a product
of being born to people came from Somalia, and he's
just as radical as omar is. And we really don't
need this in this country. Communism. We sent boys the
(33:19):
career in Vietnam. That's a slap in the face of
their families. And that's unfortunately, why we send those kids there.
Why business with China? They're communists.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Right, here's something now, the people who the Vietnam War
means nothing to people under forty five for the most part,
that's the problem. They never heard about it. They're not
taught it. They're all they're taught in schools. America sucks.
America is the worst place in the world. We're evil,
that's what they're pumping out. That's that's the problem. And

thousand and eight three, I were stuck on a Metro
North train when the blackout happened July fourteenth, two thousand
and three. I remember that so well. We were coming
out of the thankfully I got out of the tunnel.
I was on Metro North and we just got out
(36:52):
of the tunnel and we were between I think that
and one hundred twenty fifth Street somewhere, and everything stopped.
The train stopped, everything stopped, and we were just all
staying and waiting and waiting, and the conductors were saying,
you know, hold on, and we waited for like an
hour or two, and then finally we were able to
(37:13):
walk off the train on the tracks and get off.
And I still remember, I mean, my father came and
picked me up in Upper Manhattan, but it was gridlock
everywhere that I remember that very very well. Hey, by

(39:03):
Here on the Rob Astorino Show on sevent ten wo
R Larry and Staten Island. Hey Larry, do they have Rob?
Speaker 5 (39:14):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
I'm good? How are you.
Speaker 8 (39:17):
Super Rob? I'll talking about the mayoral election in New
York City. I find a very unusual for a mayoral
campaign to be gaining so much attention daily during the
dog days this summer, when you and I know that
the election season really kicks you off at the labor
(39:38):
day if everybody's back from the beach camp, and every
other day in place. But I find the numbers are changing.
And I'm gonna give you my theory why I think
that they're starting to transcally change. It's the residents of
the outer boroughs are starting to get scared. The more
this guy talks, the more they're getting scared. The property
(40:00):
rights issue, a passing the white Toba, the blacks uh uh,
free busting, free food, free the free the bodegas a
time to get scared. And I think that's one of
the numbers that in the last ten days are really changed.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
They have well, they should be scared, they should be
frightened out of their pants. The numbers have changed a
little bit. They're starting to settle in a little bit again.
As I went through those numbers, there's some there's some
good news and bad news for Mam domid. The good
news is he's doing well across the board of New
York City with Democrats and even independents who tend to
lean Democrat, and there's a lot there's a lot of
(40:39):
both of those. And unfortunately, even though Cuomo's numbers weren't
bad in some of them, his numbers are His negatives
are really really high. Adams negatives is off the charts.
They've never seen it that bad. But both of them
are getting decent numbers from Republicans, so to is Curtis.
So they're eating up that vote, and they're they're eating
(40:59):
up the anti vote as well, and that can't happen otherwise,
Ma'mdommy's going to walk in. That's the issue. Nobody's dropping out,
that's the problem. And you know, So when people say
that Mamdami has reached a ceiling, that is so ridiculous
that it means you don't understand politics. What he got
in the primary is not his final number, which is
(41:20):
what people are trying to make the case at. It's not.
He can grow too, and he's got an army of
volunteers knocking on doors. He's got the best out of
all of them. He's got the best ground game, and
ground games win, ground games win. He'll never have to
worry about a dime. He's going to raise a lot
(41:40):
of money. He already has. Adams is starting to raise money.
Now Cuomo has money still. Curtis unfortunately does not. But
you know, it's like, if I'm Clomo, who do I
go after the guy Adams who I need his votes?
Or do I go after Mamdamie. I mean, it's like
you're chasing both sides. A couple of things I wanted
(42:02):
to mention. So I'm walking over here.
Speaker 7 (42:07):
I was on.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Fifty fifth and fifth and I'm ready to cross. And
you know those guys, they work for the Dough Foundation.
They're in the blue shirts, and these are probably the unemployable.
I hate to say that, but you know they I'm
sure they they've served time or they've had a lot
of issues, but anyway, they're they're this foundation is really
good and and they go out there and they clean.
(42:33):
They clean the neighborhood, they clean the street, they have
the you know, they take the garbage off the street,
and they sweep up a little bit. So I'm look,
that's not a great job, right. But so when I
was standing there for the light to change and to
cross the street, I said to the guy who he
was right next to me sweeping up. I said, hey,
good job, thank you for doing what you're doing. It
(42:55):
looks this area looks nice. And his face just lit
up and he said thank you for saying that. And
I'm like, that made me feel good. And then he says, hey,
next time we see each other, maybe you could buy
me lunch. All right? Good for him, he asked. I
won't do it. I won't see him again, but good
for him. That's yeah, that's a good salesman. Hey, Bruce,
(43:21):
I got an update on my squirrel and rabbit. You
want to know it? Oh, just I can't wait. Got
three minutes. So for those of you who don't know,
I mean, I had a little bunny was born in
my yard, and so I would go out and like,
I'm sure there was an easy way to do this,
(43:42):
but I would grab some carrots from the from the
refrigerator and I would chew them. I would pre chew
them in a little bunny little you know, little teeth,
little mouth, and I would leave them out there for him,
and he was very appreciative. You would eat it. But
I haven't seen him. He's all grown up on me
and he has not been back in like weeks. The
guy just left me. I'm sure he's a full grown
(44:03):
rabbit right now doing what rabbits do, but he wants
nothing to do with me anymore. So I don't see
him anymore. Very sad. Anyway, there was a squirrel that
comes into my yard, a bunch of them, I think,
and I've been trying to train them like a padlob dog,
where when I see them, I'm training to be a
very old man sitting on a park bench. One day,
this is what I'm doing. So I run into the
(44:25):
house and I have the nuts right, and it's in
a container, and so I shake the container and you know,
you hear it shaking, and it's going to call them
and they hear it. So I've been doing this and
I would then throw the peanuts out there, and they
of course be like, this is great, thanks man. I
don't have to go digging in the grass or somewhere,
(44:47):
and this is like easy food. So yesterday I'm outside,
I made a hamburger for me, my daughter, my daughter's boyfriend.
We're out there having dinner, and the squirrel comes up
and is in the yard and it's about fifteen feet
from us. I said, oh, man, so I said, don't move.
So I went insign, I got the nuts and I
start shaking it. Now this squirrel looks directly up at me,
(45:11):
like I was waiting for you to do that. So
I take out some nuts and I throw them over there,
and he's just having a great time eating the nuts,
eating the nuts. So then he would walk away a little.
I was shaking it again. He would look up, look
at me and come clo And now he's coming closer
and closer and closer. And my goal, without getting my
fingers bitten off and being in the hospital, my goal
(45:33):
at some point is to get this squirrel to eat
out of my hand. This is probably the stupidest thing
in the world. Maybe I'll wear a glove or at
least come right next to me. Because when I was
growing up, we had this squirrel which I named Charlie.
And I have pictures of this from like fifty years
ago when I was like ten or whatever that would
make me sixty, so forty eight years ago, where this
(45:58):
squirrel would come right up to our screen door. It
would actually climb the screen door, and after a period
of time, when the screen door was open, would actually
come into the living room or the den. That's how
domesticated they become. If you walk. When I was at Fordham,
I would walk around the campus. These squirrels, they don't
move for you. It's like you got to walk around them.
(46:19):
They get very used to people, just like the rats
in New York City. They're very used to people at
some point, but not the suburban ones. Yeah, they're all
stand office, they run up against the tree. They hear
the dogs. But anyway, I want this squirrel to come
right up to me. I will keep you updated. Don't
you worry about this, don't you worry and one other thing.
(46:40):
So usually when I'm done on Saturday, I take the
train home and sometimes I go to the Pleasantville Diner.
Oh great, you know you hear their ads and our show.
They're great, so I'll stop by. Very nice. I've heard
so many people when I get to the diner say,
I listen to you. I literally just listen to your show,
which is really nice. And I tell people it's time
call up because they started asking me questions as I'm
(47:03):
waiting for my food, and I'm like, no call up.
But anyway, they've got the best rice pudding in the world.
I love rice pudding and tapioca pudding more old people stuff. See,
I can be beating squirrels and eating tapioca pudding when
I'm old. But they've got the best rice pudding, and
I keep I've asked them, how do you make this?
(47:27):
And they promised they told me, and they promised me
that I couldn't say the secret ingredient. But it's really
good anyway. So I've been on a kick to try
to make rice pudding at home and I've had different recipes.
I've tried them, and I just can't get it to
be good like theirs. And to be good, it's got
(47:49):
to it can't be dry, it can't be clumpy. It's
gotta be it's it's gotta be a little jiggly, it's
got to have some liquid in it. So I finally
did it the other night. I find did it, and
you know what it was baking it. You put rice
in the bowl, and you know it's milk, it's sugar,
(48:09):
it's vanilla, it's eventually it's heavy cream. And I put
ice cream in it at the very end and it
came out so good, so good. I might have to
put that recipe online one day at prop Estriino, just
in case you're wondering. Anyway. I got to get out
of here soon. I am so happy that Colbert is gone. Goodbye.
(48:33):
And for all you liberals out there screaming and yelling
at this is Donald Trump getting rid of his enemies. No,
it's CBS finally making an educated decision on their bottom line.
Stephen Colbert's show loses forty to fifty million dollars a year.
He should have been gone five years ago. The fact
(48:54):
that he stayed this long shows how liberal they are.
And one other thing, this poor guy. Did you just
see this guy who got sucked into an MRI machine
on Long Island? He wasn't even the patient, but he
was wearing a metal necklace and the machine literally pulled
him in and the guy died. This incredible, horrible ugh
(49:19):
in Westbury. Anyway, I'm back here next Saturday, hopefully not
with rambling stories about squirrels, but anyway, we'll see talk
to you soon. Everybody, have a great weekend.
This hour of programming on seven ten double AR. He's
sponsored by Toyota City and Mamaranac and Nissan City of
port Chester, proud members of the Integrity Automotive Group now
former Westchester County Executive Rob Aristorena on seven ten double UOA.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And away we go five minutes past four o'clock on
this Saturday, getting late in July already, Jeez, it's going
to be August. And then school starts and the leaves
start to fall, the sweaters go, oh my god, let's
just enjoy what we got. What I got for you.
This hour is an opportunity to call in one in
(00:45):
hundred and three two one zero seven ten one eight
hundred three to two one zero seven ten because you're
always part of the show, as is Bruce and Noah
on the other side of the glass keeping us going.
So a bunch of things I'm going to talk about.
I'm going to talk about these poles came out, which
I think the headlines are misleading about this being a
really tight race. I'm not so sure in New York City.
(01:06):
But I'll go through the numbers because there's warning signs
and positives for all the campaigns. Walden aside. I mean
he's not even registering so but for the other ones,
including Mamdami, there are some red flags. But from Mamdami's
perspective looking at these numbers, I mean they're pretty healthy,
(01:26):
believe it or not. And then later I definitely want
to talk about I was in church this week in
the city and there at the end of my pew
was a dog. Now this was not the Blessing of
the Animal's Day. This was a regular Sunday Mass Catholic
church in New York City, and there's a dog in
(01:48):
the mass. I hope you didn't go up to receive communion. Anyway,
we'll talk about that, because I think this is getting
completely out of control. And I'm a big dog lover.
I have two of my own. Just watched a neighbor's
dog for a week, so we had three dogs this
week in my house, and my daughter's watching another neighbor's
dog who they went away. So trust me, I love dogs.
(02:13):
This is getting a little silly, though, but I put
that on the side for one second, but I am
going to talk about that. I'd be interested to see
what you think. Had won eight hundred and three to two,
one zero seven ten all right, let me tell you
about this New York City mayoro's race for just a
moment here, because two poles came out. Everyone's trying to
make hay On this headlines a little deceiving. But like
(02:36):
I said, there's some good news for each candidate some
bad news as well. So the Harris X poll came
out headline, tight race emerges, It emerges in New York
City mayoral general election. But Cuomo stronger than Adams against Mamdami.
All right, five hundred and eighty five registered New York
(02:56):
City voters conducted online over two days. Five hundred and
eighty five is not a big poll in New York City.
It's just not and conducted online. You know how many
online surveys I've got thinking I'm a woman, by the way,
from wherever that seriously, whoever has my number thinks I'm
(03:16):
a woman and so and a Democrat, And so I
respond to these poles just to screw them up. But
I'm thinking how many other situations like me is happening
with other people who are responding to polls. But anyway,
the Harris New York City poll in a four way race,
Ma'm Dommy's getting twenty six percent, Cuomo twenty three, Sleeva
(03:39):
twenty two, and Adams thirteen fifteen percent undecided. Now in
a three way race without Adams, okay, he's not going anywhere.
So all this is they're projecting that these people are
dropping out, not happening, and their names stay on the ballot.
But anyway, let's just have fun without Adams. Cuomo is
(04:01):
statistically tied with Mam Domi and Sleea's right there. So
basically they're saying, if Adams is out, it's a three
way tie without Cuomo. If he drops out, and that
thick headed numskull is not going to do that. But
if he let's just pretend again that he drops out.
Mam Domi leads by ten points, he gets thirty five,
(04:23):
Sliewa gets twenty five, and Adams gets nineteen. Head to head,
Mam Dommi beats Adams forty three thirty six, but he
trails Cuomo thirty five to fifty, a fifteen point advantage
for Cuomo head to head with Mamdammy. I'm not I'm sorry,
I'm not buying any of this margin nevera four points, okay,
(04:44):
So that was the HarrisX poll data for Progress, and
here I got all the top lines and the and
the cross tabs. Okay, so this was done basically the
same time, first couple of days of July, and this
is seven hundred and fifty six likely New York City voters. Again,
this is SMN texting and everything, but the Harris poll
(05:07):
was registered voters. Any old person who's registered to vote
but may not vote that registered and likely two very
different outcomes generally speaking. Okay, so likely voters means yeah,
they're engaged, they're going to go to the polls, they
may have already voted in the primary. Whatever. So let
me just break down some stuff from this poll here, okay,
because they test different people and just like you're curious,
(05:32):
maybe aoc her favorable and unfavorable. Again, this is only
New York City. She's had a fifty four favorable thirty
nine unfavorable. You'd think she'd be a lot more popular
in New York City, but she's not. She's definitely not
popular with independents or Republicans, but Democrats still like her.
(05:52):
All right, let me go into the Democratic Party. So again,
this is what do you think of the Democratic Party
in New York City? With new York City voters. It's
a little surprising Democrats. Okay, self identified Democrats, it's a
plus forty nine, so seventy four percent like their party,
twenty five percent don't. That's actually a big number. Overall,
(06:16):
it's forty nine to forty nine, So independents are breaking
almost two to one against more than two to one
against the Democratic Party in New York City. That's interesting
because that does mean that they could break from their
from the Democratic nominee Kathy Hochel, she's a minus one
forty six fave forty seven unfave. Democrats are propping her up,
(06:38):
and independences don't like her. Neither do Republicans. All right, now,
let me get into these candidates, okay, because this is
really what matters. Oh yeah, I'll throw out the Donald
Trump number. It kind of is what you'd think. It
is twenty six favorable, seventy one unfavorable from minus forty
five among New York City voters. You know what is
favorable rating is with Democrats. This is like the surest going.
(07:00):
So if you run into Democrats, guaranteed they hate Trump.
Only four percent of Democrats are favorable towards Donald Trump.
With all he is doing to help the economy in
New York City, to clean up New York City, to
make it safer, to get rid of violent, criminal everything,
you name it. Only four percent ninety three percent unfavorable
(07:24):
with Democrats in New York City. All right, So let's
get into the candidates per second. Okay, let's take well,
let me take Mam Domi since he is winning. Right now,
let me get to the mam dommie page here? All right, So,
Mam Domi, where where'd it go? Too?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Too?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Am I missing the page? Hold on? Where'd you go?
Ma'm dommy? Hold on? I got it here somewhere? Where
did I put that one? All right? Here's the okay,
ma'am Dommy forty nine forty favorable to unfavorable over in
New York City Democrats. Sixty four percent of Democrats in
(08:04):
New York City have a favorable view of Mamdami And
they know this guy. Only fourteen percent haven't heard enough
of him. So they're listening. They know what he stands for,
and they still favor him. They still like him. That's frightening,
and that's that's problematic independence independence. He's a plus four.
(08:26):
So even independent voters in New York City who tend
to leave lean left. They like this guy, so it's
not enough. And women really like him, whether it's his
looks or they just you know, women tend to be
more left because unfortunately they want more stuff for free.
That's just the way it is. But Mamdami's numbers are
(08:49):
not unhealthy despite the attacks he's getting. So this is
where the other three candidates have to beat the living
daylights out of him. And will it work. I don't know,
because the fallback generally is if he's a Democrat, I'm
a Democrat. I'm gonna vote for the Democrat. That's the
problem that they face. Okay, let me go to the
(09:09):
other candidates. Cuomo. Cuomo is a thirty nine favorable, fifty
nine unfavorable. With Democrats, he's a minus nine. With independence,
he's a minus forty three, and with Republicans. Republicans he's
only a minus fifteen because they see him as maybe
(09:32):
safe harbor. But wait till I get to the mayor's numbers.
But here's the problem with Cuomo. He's a minus fifteen
with women, he's a minus twenty five with men, and
people under forty five can't stand him. He's a minus
fifty six, so they know him. Obviously, only one percent
(09:56):
haven't heard or know enough about Andrew Cuomo. So they've
made up their minds on this guy and they can
stand him. That's the problem. Now, where he's doing well
or okay, is with blacks plus five and with Latinos
he's only a minus seven. He's a minus thirty eight.
With white people, Curtis Sliwa, Curtis is a thirty two
(10:17):
favorable fifty unfavorable. Now, think about this. He has been
fighting his whole life to make the city safer, especially
for minorities, and yet here's his numbers with minorities. With
blacks he is twenty seventh fave fifty three unfavorable, with
Latinos twenty eight fave fifty one unfavorable. It's like, what
(10:37):
has he been doing his whole life trying to protect
people in in vulnerable neighborhoods from the scum in the
in the subways, beating the hell out of people, and
yet this is how they're kind of rewarding him. But
with quote college educated, he's a minus forty two and
with females he's a minus twenty three. So Curtis has
(11:00):
a way to go. And Eric Adams, I've never seen
numbers this bad. His favorability out of all those surveyed
is only twenty nine percent. His unfavorable is seventy percent.
He's a minus forty one. With Democrats, he is a
minus sixty twenty fave eighty unfavorable. That's why he didn't
(11:23):
run a primary. His own party hates him because he
was working with Trump, or Trump let him go, that's
the reason independence. He's a minus forty six. With Republicans,
he is a plus twenty two sixty favorable, thirty eight unfavorable,
which means the Safe Harbor voters that were going to
(11:45):
go towards Cuomo, they could easily go to Eric Adams
as well if they're trying to stop Ma'm dommi. So
this is the issue that they're all facing. They're gobbling
each other's potential votes up, and none of them are
going to get added there. That's just none of them
are going to get out of there. So I just
I just don't see it. I'm looking at these numbers
(12:09):
head to head in the poll that Ma'm dommy gets
a forty percent of the voters right now, Cuomo twenty four,
Adams fifteen, cur Is fourteen. That's in this poll. With Independence,
ma'am Dommy's getting forty two percent of the vote. With
Democrats he's getting fifty two percent. And remember that's a
bigger pool. Fifty two percent of a much bigger pool
means more more actual votes. And with the so called
(12:34):
college educated, he's getting fifty seven percent of the vote.
Under forty five voter, he's getting sixty eight percent of
their vote. Oh yeah, yeah, all right, I don't want
to talk about Mam Dommy anymore. I want to talk
about something.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Really.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It annoyed me and I'm like flabbergasted at this. This
past Sunday, I met a co wor in New York City,
So I came in from Westchester Sunday morning. We're gonna
have breakfast, so I got here early. It was easy,
like I flew right down. I made it from my
house into a parking spot on the street like it
(13:13):
was waiting for me in thirty five minutes, no traffic
with the Yankee game coming up, so I was lucky. Anyway,
I'm walking around to kill a little time before we
go to the diner and I go to church. What church.
Was it now?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It was on.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It was between First and York at around seventy second Street. Well, no, no,
like near seventy ninth Street. I have to look it up.
I forget the church anyway, beautiful church. So I go
in there. Mass had just started, and I'm looking a
few pews down or actually towards the back which I'm
(13:52):
ready to go into, and there is at the end
of the pew like an eighty pound golden doodle. Not
with a service dog, you know, identification. No, somebody thought that, hey,
I'm going to church, so I'm gonna bring my dog
(14:13):
to church. And the dog is sitting there at the
It was pretty much behaved, I'll give it that, but
I couldn't stop fixating on this dog. The dog wasn't praying,
the dog wasn't gonna like give money to the collection basket.
And the dog thankfully did not go up received communion.
But I cannot believe that there was a dog. Somebody
(14:36):
thought it was okay to come in off the street
and bring an eighty pound golden doodle. Beautiful dog. My
mom has two of them. An eighty pound golden doodle
to a Catholic Mass, and the priest didn't say anything,
but I mean, I don't. So then when I leave church,
I actually went to and met my friend at the
(14:59):
Gracie Used diner, which was right around the corner. There
were two dogs in the diner, two dogs, one inside
one outside. I'm sitting here saying, what the freak is
going on here? Seriously? A dog in church and a
dog where I'm ready to eat. None of these dogs, again,
(15:20):
were service dogs. Let me very clear about that. One
person has his dog on his lap as he's eating
his eggs. Another dog was sitting by the other person's
side at the booth. Now I don't I mean again,
you might say, well that what's wrong with that? I
think there is something wrong with that. I love dogs, Mike,
(15:43):
Bella and my Luna. I love them. Now I wish
I never had the dogs in the bed, but now
I can't get him out. And Luna literally sleeps against
my side. No matter when I get in the bed,
she moves from wherever she is. She walks up to me.
It's the cutest thing, I have to admit, And she
sits right up against my hip and now inevitably I
(16:04):
find my hand on her. And that's the way we
go to bed. I'm more intimate with my dog than
my wife. Sometimes I'm sitting there next to my dog
all the time. With my wife, I can't even reach
her in the in the bed because we've got the
dogs there. Am I the only one that thinks this
is wrong? A dog in church, and then a dog
at two dogs at a diner. And and by the way,
(16:28):
this is the first time I've seen dogs. I've seen
cats too at food establishments. Forget about in the airport,
forget about on the plane. This is getting to me.
It's getting a little ridiculous. One hundred and three two
one zero seven ten. One hundred and three to two
one zero seven ten. You can tell me I'm completely wrong,
(16:50):
go right ahead. But the last thing I want is
someone someone's dog barfing or pooping or peep peeping or
whatever as I'm trying to eat. One hundred and three
two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Uh.

The lovely Sondra from New Jersey will lead us off
(21:35):
because she has invited me. See the things you learn
about the callers that you have. Lovely Sondra, by the way,
she is a muckety muck with the Women's National Republican
Club and she has invited me to speak, and I
am going to speak in midtown Manhattan at their beautiful
location right near Rockefeller Center November thirteenth. I'm gonna talk
(21:59):
to talk to all the lovely ladies there and men
who show up and men who identify as ladies on
November thirteenth. How are you, Sandra, I'm very.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well, thank you. You know, Robbie were talking about service
dogs and dogs tonight today. You're not gonna like me
very much because I broke all those rules. I had
a dog named Snowball, and the deal was and I
had her for fifteen and a half years and the deal.
And the deal was take me, you take my dog.
And on the very high holidays, we used to go
(22:32):
to the Catskills for the holidays and Snowball came along too,
and there was no way I was going to leave
her alone in the room. So she came to the
synagogue and my sister's significant other would get very angry,
but take me, take my dog, but the rabbis I
didn't mind because Snowball was quiet in her bed. And
(22:53):
I also remember we took a drive to Canada for
Russia Shona one time where they blow the bugle and
all that stuff, and I and me and Michael found
a temple and we said, we have a dog, is
that okay? And the rabbit said absolutely, bring her in
and we did. And I remember when Snowball was alive,
(23:14):
my poor husband, it always cost him fifty dollars extra
on a Saturday night when we would go out because
I wouldn't leave her alone. She had to have a
babysitter my So so ever, since Snowball passed away, I
have a cat named Hunter, and Hunt has taught me
I don't have to be like that. Hunt is good
when he's alone, and I have learned, so when I
(23:37):
do get another dog someday, I hope to behave a
little differently. But Snowholl had the service card. As she
went to the movies, she went to the restaurant, she
went to the hotel, she went on everywhere I went.
She was in my shadow. And that's the truth. And
when she died, I grieved like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Oh yeah, no, Well, life will not be the same
and almost unimaginable if and when, obviously, when the day
that Bella and Luna, our dogs, pass away, I mean,
there's no my wife. I told you, you know several
weeks ago that we got a camper, right, so we
leave it up in Rhode Island, and my wife is
up there. She's spending a lot of time up there.
(24:18):
God bless her because she's a teacher. So she's off
for the summer. I'm gonna go up either tomorrow or
Monday for a couple of days. And it's right on
the beach. It's beautiful. But the campground does not allow animals,
so we're not allowed to take Bella and Luna with us,
which is killing us. It kills my way. The only
reason my wife is coming home at all this summer
(24:39):
is to see the dogs, not me, not the kids.
The dogs. Totally get it. I totally get it, Sondra,
thank you for the call. But here's the thing, Like
in church, and Catholics will understand this. So in the
most reverent part of the Mass, okay, the reason, the reason,
whether Catholics realize it or not, the reason we go
(25:00):
to Mass is for the celebration of the Eucharist, God
Jesus' actual presence, the body and blood. Right. So I'm
just imagining at this at some point, the priest, it's
every everyone's on their knees, praying right, eyes closed, probably,
and the priest says, you know, takes the takes the bread,
gives it to his disciples, and said and then all
(25:22):
of a sudden woof, woof. I mean, that's what I'm imagining.
That's what I'm imagining. At that moment, that dog is
gonna start barking. Everyone's either everyone's either gonna totally laugh,
which is gonna totally ruined the most important part of Mass,
(25:43):
or people are gonna be just as angry as you
would be when the phone goes off. When somebody's cell
phone inevitably goes off because they bring it to church
with them and they forget that they didn't put it
on silence. Okay, that's all another thing. Uh. The Rob
asked show here on seven to ten, wor Jeff and Maplewood?
(26:03):
How are you? Jeff?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Oh, Rob, you must be getting popular. It's harder to
get through to you. But I was just calling because
you know, you've talked about Mendami and I think maybe
not him per se, but somebody like Mindabi is inevitable
in New York and New Jersey's not a lot better
because people accept basically socialism. They just don't realize. What's
(26:30):
the difference, Doc Trinally, between somebody calling for a minimum
wage of seventeen dollars an hour and Mendabi calling for
thirty dollars an hour? What's the difference between rent control
and a rent freeze. I mean, it's the same thing,
Doc Trinally, It's just oh, he's a little too much
more expensive.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
No, you're right. I remember when when New York City,
well actually New York State, and of course it was
who do you think it was called? Who started to say,
you know, the whole fifteen and fifteen thing. I remember
when the unions were pushing this, the Working Families Party,
and then Cuomo of course gave in, no, we need
(27:12):
a work in wage blah blah blah. Anyway, fifteen dollars
in the year twenty fifteen, that's what they were pushing.
And I remember I was county executive at the time,
and I was being asked, you know, what do you
think would you support this? I said absolutely not, no,
no way. And what do you think fifteen and fifteen
is going to become? It's going to become very soon
twenty and twenty, and then of course thirty and thirty,
(27:34):
and we're gonna get there. There's no question. We just
got there quicker than I thought. Because Ma'amdammi in thear
twenty twenty five wants a thirty dollars an hour rache.
But what's the difference? Why if it's so good, why
don't we make it one hundred dollars an hour? Wouldn't
that even be better? One eight one hundred and three
to two to one zero sevent ten? Speaking of mam Domi,
so I don't know if you heard this, but you
(27:55):
know they're obviously they're digging up everything that they've got
on this guy. And when you do a podcast or
when you're in the public eye, you say a lot
of things, right, I mean I said a lot of things.
Some of them are probably dumb, but they're out there somewhere.
But ma'am DOMI more and more of who he really is,
and we know, but it's being proven. Again. They unearthed
(28:19):
something he was on, i think the Far Left podcast
a few years ago, the Far Left podcast. So anyone
who goes on that, you know, is on the far left.
Otherwise they'd be like me, I'd go on that to
argue with them. But anyway, he was asked about prisons, jails.
This is what this guy said. This is the wanna
be mayor of New York City. This is what he
(28:42):
said on that.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
That form is that every single person should have housed.
And I think, faced with these two options, the system,
the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right
for what And if there was any system that could
guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition
of private property or you call it, you know, just
(29:04):
a state wide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what
is going on right now, And I think that people
try and play like gotcha games about these kinds of things,
and it's like, look, I care more about whether somebody
has a home.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Then whether or not they're allowed to have private property.
I had the wrong cut there, but in a different cut,
he said that there should be no prison He doesn't
understand why we have prisons or jails. They think about
that for a second. He doesn't understand why we have
prisons or jails. Of course, on the other side of
that is defund the police. So he really wants no
(29:38):
law enforcement. He wants no cops, and he wants bad
guys to remain on the street. And then on the
private property, there should be no private property. There should
not be billionaires, which means people should not be successful.
We should all be the same. I mean, obviously, the
more we know, the worst this guy gets. And yet
(29:59):
as those polls, as I just mentioned in the in
the cross tabs, people understand because he only has a
fourteen percent never heard of So people understand and have
heard about this guy and know because he went through
the primary and he's getting a lot of publicity. And
still with everything coming out, you've got self identified Democrats
(30:21):
and independence in New York City tend to be left leaning.
They're supporting this guy, and that's a pretty big pool
to draw from. Scott in the Bronx here on seven
to ten, W Scott, I'll.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Give the my uh comment in a minute. But with
regard to you know, the Middle East and Jeffrey Epstein
possibly being a Masat agent.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Uh, there's talking about when I haven't even talked about this, Scott,
I was talking about the mayor's raised dogs in church
and you know, you go deep into the Epstein files already.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I does like to broach the subject if it's.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Possible, all right, keep it quick, go.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Ahead, Okay, no problem, but first I'll get to I
get to the comment in a minute. But there's a
foundation funded by two Republican congressmen. It's called a Council
for the National Interest. And basically what they do they
act to provide more objective information about the Middle East
than our foreign policy in that part of the world.
(31:25):
That's apart from the NonStop propaganda you get in the
mainstream media. It's more balanced, it's more objective. It's called
the Council for the National Interest. Now that being said,
with regard to Epstein, I want to make sure that
everyone understands that Israel as a country has had a
very long history, ugly history of engaging that spionad against
(31:46):
the United States. Probably the most glaring example of that
is another spy, Jonathan J. Pollard, who under the Obama
administration was released and became an Israeli citizen after you
became the most in US history.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I think we got Yeah, Scott, I gave you a chance.
I did. I really I tried. I really tried. Sean
and Rockland County. You're on seven to ten wr Hey Sean, Oh.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
Hi, Rob, great show and Man Danny running this mamby Bambi.
I really this is unfortunate what's taken place. But you
got to realize a lot of people come into New
York City, you go to a certain place and then
you just get out of town. The city is now
feeling the effects of the sixty five immigration now kicked
(32:36):
in in a lot of Muslims voted for him. There's
an over a million Muslims in New York City that
are in this city, and some of them are registered
to vote, and someone are going to get registered vote
to vote for Man Danny never brought up for it.
You know, they had four hundred thousand votes he had
in the primary. They're not all college kids. Come on,
let's not keep fooling the audience and saying this. There's
(32:59):
a lot of radic in this country and in Muslims too,
and same thing in little Somalia in Minnesota. Look at
the guy who's running for Maya Day. He's a product
of being born to people came from Somalia, and he's
just as radical as omar is. And we really don't
need this in this country. Communism. We sent boys the
(33:19):
career in Vietnam. That's a slap in the face of
their families. And that's unfortunately, why we send those kids there.
Why business with China? They're communists.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Right, here's something now, the people who the Vietnam War
means nothing to people under forty five for the most part,
that's the problem. They never heard about it. They're not
taught it. They're all they're taught in schools. America sucks.
America is the worst place in the world. We're evil,
that's what they're pumping out. That's that's the problem. And

out of the thankfully I got out of the tunnel.
I was on Metro North and we just got out
(36:52):
of the tunnel and we were between I think that
and one hundred twenty fifth Street somewhere, and everything stopped.
The train stopped, everything stopped, and we were just all
staying and waiting and waiting, and the conductors were saying,
you know, hold on, and we waited for like an
hour or two, and then finally we were able to
(37:13):
walk off the train on the tracks and get off.

(39:03):
Here on the Rob Astorino Show on sevent ten wo
R Larry and Staten Island. Hey Larry, do they have Rob?
Speaker 5 (39:14):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
I'm good? How are you.
Speaker 8 (39:17):
Super Rob? I'll talking about the mayoral election in New
York City. I find a very unusual for a mayoral
campaign to be gaining so much attention daily during the
dog days this summer, when you and I know that
the election season really kicks you off at the labor
(39:38):
day if everybody's back from the beach camp, and every
other day in place. But I find the numbers are changing.
And I'm gonna give you my theory why I think
that they're starting to transcally change. It's the residents of
the outer boroughs are starting to get scared. The more
this guy talks, the more they're getting scared. The property
(40:00):
rights issue, a passing the white Toba, the blacks uh uh,
free busting, free food, free the free the bodegas a
time to get scared. And I think that's one of
the numbers that in the last ten days are really changed.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
They have well, they should be scared, they should be
frightened out of their pants. The numbers have changed a
little bit. They're starting to settle in a little bit again.
As I went through those numbers, there's some there's some
good news and bad news for Mam domid. The good
news is he's doing well across the board of New
York City with Democrats and even independents who tend to
lean Democrat, and there's a lot there's a lot of
(40:39):
both of those. And unfortunately, even though Cuomo's numbers weren't
bad in some of them, his numbers are His negatives
are really really high. Adams negatives is off the charts.
They've never seen it that bad. But both of them
are getting decent numbers from Republicans, so to is Curtis.
So they're eating up that vote, and they're they're eating
(40:59):
up the anti vote as well, and that can't happen otherwise,
Ma'mdommy's going to walk in. That's the issue. Nobody's dropping out,
that's the problem. And you know, So when people say
that Mamdami has reached a ceiling, that is so ridiculous
that it means you don't understand politics. What he got
in the primary is not his final number, which is
(41:20):
what people are trying to make the case at. It's not.
He can grow too, and he's got an army of
volunteers knocking on doors. He's got the best out of
all of them. He's got the best ground game, and
ground games win, ground games win. He'll never have to
worry about a dime. He's going to raise a lot
(41:40):
of money. He already has. Adams is starting to raise money.
Now Cuomo has money still. Curtis unfortunately does not. But
you know, it's like, if I'm Clomo, who do I
go after the guy Adams who I need his votes?
Or do I go after Mamdamie. I mean, it's like
you're chasing both sides. A couple of things I wanted
(42:02):
to mention. So I'm walking over here.
Speaker 7 (42:07):
I was on.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Fifty fifth and fifth and I'm ready to cross. And
you know those guys, they work for the Dough Foundation.
They're in the blue shirts, and these are probably the unemployable.
I hate to say that, but you know they I'm
sure they they've served time or they've had a lot
of issues, but anyway, they're they're this foundation is really
good and and they go out there and they clean.
(42:33):
They clean the neighborhood, they clean the street, they have
the you know, they take the garbage off the street,
and they sweep up a little bit. So I'm look,
that's not a great job, right. But so when I
was standing there for the light to change and to
cross the street, I said to the guy who he
was right next to me sweeping up. I said, hey,
good job, thank you for doing what you're doing. It
(42:55):
looks this area looks nice. And his face just lit
up and he said thank you for saying that. And
I'm like, that made me feel good. And then he says, hey,
next time we see each other, maybe you could buy
me lunch. All right? Good for him, he asked. I
won't do it. I won't see him again, but good
for him. That's yeah, that's a good salesman. Hey, Bruce,
(43:21):
I got an update on my squirrel and rabbit. You
want to know it? Oh, just I can't wait. Got
three minutes. So for those of you who don't know,
I mean, I had a little bunny was born in
my yard, and so I would go out and like,
I'm sure there was an easy way to do this,
(43:42):
but I would grab some carrots from the from the
refrigerator and I would chew them. I would pre chew
them in a little bunny little you know, little teeth,
little mouth, and I would leave them out there for him,
and he was very appreciative. You would eat it. But
I haven't seen him. He's all grown up on me
and he has not been back in like weeks. The
guy just left me. I'm sure he's a full grown
(44:03):
rabbit right now doing what rabbits do, but he wants
nothing to do with me anymore. So I don't see
him anymore. Very sad. Anyway, there was a squirrel that
comes into my yard, a bunch of them, I think,
and I've been trying to train them like a padlob dog,
where when I see them, I'm training to be a
very old man sitting on a park bench. One day,
this is what I'm doing. So I run into the
(44:25):
house and I have the nuts right, and it's in
a container, and so I shake the container and you know,
you hear it shaking, and it's going to call them
and they hear it. So I've been doing this and
I would then throw the peanuts out there, and they
of course be like, this is great, thanks man. I
don't have to go digging in the grass or somewhere,
(44:47):
and this is like easy food. So yesterday I'm outside,
I made a hamburger for me, my daughter, my daughter's boyfriend.
We're out there having dinner, and the squirrel comes up
and is in the yard and it's about fifteen feet
from us. I said, oh, man, so I said, don't move.
So I went insign, I got the nuts and I
start shaking it. Now this squirrel looks directly up at me,
(45:11):
like I was waiting for you to do that. So
I take out some nuts and I throw them over there,
and he's just having a great time eating the nuts,
eating the nuts. So then he would walk away a little.
I was shaking it again. He would look up, look
at me and come clo And now he's coming closer
and closer and closer. And my goal, without getting my
fingers bitten off and being in the hospital, my goal
(45:33):
at some point is to get this squirrel to eat
out of my hand. This is probably the stupidest thing
in the world. Maybe I'll wear a glove or at
least come right next to me. Because when I was
growing up, we had this squirrel which I named Charlie.
And I have pictures of this from like fifty years
ago when I was like ten or whatever that would
make me sixty, so forty eight years ago, where this
(45:58):
squirrel would come right up to our screen door. It
would actually climb the screen door, and after a period
of time, when the screen door was open, would actually
come into the living room or the den. That's how
domesticated they become. If you walk. When I was at Fordham,
I would walk around the campus. These squirrels, they don't
move for you. It's like you got to walk around them.
(46:19):
They get very used to people, just like the rats
in New York City. They're very used to people at
some point, but not the suburban ones. Yeah, they're all
stand office, they run up against the tree. They hear
the dogs. But anyway, I want this squirrel to come
right up to me. I will keep you updated. Don't
you worry about this, don't you worry and one other thing.
(46:40):
So usually when I'm done on Saturday, I take the
train home and sometimes I go to the Pleasantville Diner.
Oh great, you know you hear their ads and our show.
They're great, so I'll stop by. Very nice. I've heard
so many people when I get to the diner say,
I listen to you. I literally just listen to your show,
which is really nice. And I tell people it's time
call up because they started asking me questions as I'm
(47:03):
waiting for my food, and I'm like, no call up.
But anyway, they've got the best rice pudding in the world.
I love rice pudding and tapioca pudding more old people stuff. See,
I can be beating squirrels and eating tapioca pudding when
I'm old. But they've got the best rice pudding, and
I keep I've asked them, how do you make this?
(47:27):
And they promised they told me, and they promised me
that I couldn't say the secret ingredient. But it's really
good anyway. So I've been on a kick to try
to make rice pudding at home and I've had different recipes.
I've tried them, and I just can't get it to
be good like theirs. And to be good, it's got
(47:49):
to it can't be dry, it can't be clumpy. It's
gotta be it's it's gotta be a little jiggly, it's
got to have some liquid in it. So I finally
did it the other night. I find did it, and
you know what it was baking it. You put rice
in the bowl, and you know it's milk, it's sugar,
(48:09):
it's vanilla, it's eventually it's heavy cream. And I put
ice cream in it at the very end and it
came out so good, so good. I might have to
put that recipe online one day at prop Estriino, just
in case you're wondering. Anyway. I got to get out
of here soon. I am so happy that Colbert is gone. Goodbye.
(48:33):
And for all you liberals out there screaming and yelling
at this is Donald Trump getting rid of his enemies. No,
it's CBS finally making an educated decision on their bottom line.
Stephen Colbert's show loses forty to fifty million dollars a year.
He should have been gone five years ago. The fact
(48:54):
that he stayed this long shows how liberal they are.
And one other thing, this poor guy. Did you just
see this guy who got sucked into an MRI machine
on Long Island? He wasn't even the patient, but he
was wearing a metal necklace and the machine literally pulled
him in and the guy died. This incredible, horrible ugh
(49:19):
in Westbury. Anyway, I'm back here next Saturday, hopefully not
with rambling stories about squirrels, but anyway, we'll see talk
to you soon. Everybody, have a great weekend.
