Speaker 1 (00:00):
This hour of programming on seven ten WR. 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 Astaro on seven ten.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I love that beginning. Hey, maybe come back. I'm glad
you came back. Baby.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
We do it every Saturday at four o'clock right here
on seven ten WR. Wow. I mean all right, Look,
this is typically like we talk a lot of national
stuff and tied into local. We're gonna do that again
now because Eric Adams had until yesterday to switch parties.

(00:54):
Knew that wasn't gonna happen. But he could still run
as a Republican, or he could run as a Democrat
and the Republican. So let's get into this mayoral race
and the implications and what's going on with DOJ because
the Left has exposed itself again as a bunch of

(01:16):
whiny punks. So let me start with what happened with
the DOJ dropping the case. Now, if you remember months ago,
I said this is how it should play out. This
is how it will play out. Trump is not going
to issue a pardon a preemptive one at that, because
then it really puts Trump into the middle of it.

(01:37):
And Eric Adams doesn't want that Donald Trump, I'll say,
stink on him, only because in New York City, Donald
Trump certainly ain't popular, right, so he didn't want Donald
Trump all over him. But what happened was the Attorney
General's office. And hold on a minute. If you're a liberal,

(01:59):
let me just explain to you how the constitution works,
because you're the ones talking about threat to democracy Donald
Trump all this nonsense. Let's start with the basics, which
you don't even understand. There are separation of powers. There

(02:22):
are three branches the legislature, right, Congress, that's Article one
and their powers. Article two is specific to the executive
and the president, and Article three is the judiciary. Let's
go too Article two. All right, let's start with the
presidential powers. And how about a little flow chart for you. Okay,

(02:46):
So if you saw what happened, right, the charges were
ordered to be dropped by the Department of Justice. Pam
Bondi gets in there, and the Department says, to the
Southern District of New York, either there ain't nothing there
there or end or this was completely unfair and basically

(03:07):
against the Department's rules because you're affecting an election. There
is no possible way that the mayor can run for
reelection when you drop these bombs on him and he
can't do his job, He cannot effectually deal with the
immigration issues and his security clearances. And the voters are

(03:32):
going to make that determination in a few months. It's
up to them. So they drop the charges without prejudice,
which means they could in theory, bring them back at
a later time after the election. It's unlikely, but they could.

(03:53):
And so did they do something fair or not? Honestly,
it doesn't matter if you think it's fair or not.
The reaction from the Southern District. And I love when
the press and these idiot lawyers and and you know,
the just the typical swampies sit there and love to
say that the Southern District it's independence. There's no independence

(04:20):
with the Southern District, or there should not be. Each
district of the Department of Justice is a branch thereof Okay,
it's like a local office. You don't have a Macy's
Department store at the Cross County mall or Or and

(04:41):
Herald Square telling the corporation. Yeah, we're gonna do what
we wanna do here. We're gonna sell our own stuff
because we're kind of independent.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
No, you're not.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
And it's the same thing with these districts. Okay, So
the Southern District of New York, let's again go little
float chart for all you little progressives out there whose
heads are popping because the Justice Department made a decision,
which they have every legal right to do. So, the
previous Southern District, under the previous Justice Department, under the

(05:16):
previous President Biden, decided to use law there for four years.
We saw it with Donald Trump, We saw it with
Donald Trump's allies and friends. We saw it against Catholics
going to church. They deemed white supremacists. Find one, please
for me so I can figure out what they are,

(05:38):
because I haven't found one yet, But apparently they exist everywhere.
They're they're the number one threat to America. Meanwhile, all
the Antifa thugs and everybody else burning literally burning down
federal buildings, no charges. So these quote independent Southern district

(05:59):
get to make their their own decisions, and so apparently
they're completely on their own wrong wrong, especially with high
profile cases that have so many different implications like this
one the mayor of New York City, no matter who
it was, and are we going backwards in time and say, hey,

(06:23):
what about Deblasio? They were investigating de Blasio, but they
decided not to bring charges. Was that political who made
that call? But they dropped these on Eric Adams And
it looked to me and I said this not just
when he was here next to me in the studio

(06:44):
on this show. I have said this consistently looking at
the charges that they brought seem pretty damn weak to me.
Saying he was bribed by Turkey or got some upgrades
on an airline. Okay, yeah, all right, raise your hand.
If you're an elected official, if you maybe at once

(07:07):
didn't get an upgrade, if you didn't accept it, that's
probably not a lot of them, certainly members of Congress
trying to get home and maybe the airline bumps them
up to first class. Yeah okay, yeah, well you never
did that. I'm sure AOC you never did that. So
the charges of well, he took official action for some

(07:29):
upgrades which may or may not have happened. And the
official action for a country, by the way, not even
a developer, a country that says, hey, we plowed a
gazillion dollars into upgrading a building, and your Department of
Buildings is sitting on the permits and everything for years.
Can you get the damn paper off the bottom of

(07:50):
the pile from some bureaucrat who's on his own and
do your job as an executive and say this is
important to the City of New York. Happens all the time.
I'd be in prison right now if they went after
me for that, because yeah, I had to do that
on behalf of I don't care who it is. It
could have been a developer doing something for the county.

(08:12):
It could have been a friend, or it could have
been an annual I mean, an average old Joe, and
I did it all for everybody. Yeah, you're right. We
get calls all the time from the Constituent office. Can
you help please? That's what the executives supposed to do,
move things forward. Now, if he took an envelope full
of cash and they said, hey, you know, give me

(08:33):
the permit for that obviously illegal, a criminal act, they
said they were studying Adams, investigating him for eight years.
Eight years. You're telling me eight years you've been investigating him,
and you dropped the charges a couple months ago or
whenever it was. Please come on, and if you're an

(08:56):
average New Yorker, you can't be going so what are
these charges about? Huh? But I don't get it. Explain
that if you got to say that, then your charges
are thin to begin with. This isn't a cut and
dried Oh my god, he did. This isn't Bob Menendez
with gold bars and cash stuffed in his damn suit.

(09:20):
So here we go with the Southern District all holdovers again,
these are not so please okay. All these federal judges,
just like state judges, like these prosecutors, they're all political appointments.
They've all worked the latter either in the Democratic Party

(09:42):
or Republican Party. How do you think they got to
what they put their resume on? Indeed, and they were
just picked. Give me a break. This is all political.
So these prosecutors who had a hissy fit because they
were ordered because they wouldn't they refuse to do it.
They were ordered to drop the case because our elected

(10:05):
president and or his appointee as Attorney General made the
decision that these charges should not stand. At least of
this time until they further look at them, but not
so close to an election. Okay, they refuse to do that,
that's in subordination. And they were ordered if you do

(10:26):
not withdraw these charges, you will all be fired. Remember
in twenty seventeen, Sally Yeates, she was a holdover from Obama.
She was the acting Attorney General and Donald Trump came
in and had the executive order. It was called the
Muslim ban, which it was not, but of course that's
what the Trump derangement syndrome media called it. She refused,

(10:50):
and she ordered she ordered Justice Department employees to not
defend the president's executive order. So she was fired for
an insubordination. Of course, she was a hero. That's the resistance.
That is a dangerous part of the Democratic Party. That

(11:12):
is the cancer that is in this country right now,
which Elon Musk, by the way, and many others are
exposing and that is why they are going ballistic. But
getting to this stuff now. Okay, So now you've got
Hokeel saying she may remove Eric Adams because she has

(11:34):
the power to do that. No, you won't, number one,
because A you don't have the you know what's to
but you don't have a standing really to do that.
There has to be cause. What is the cause here?
There were charges filed, charges dropped. What's the cause? Because
he's I don't know, enforcing the law? Are you kidding me?

(11:57):
Because he's not going to aid in a bet or
harbor illegal ala against the violent ones especially, that's going
to be your cause to remove him. And what's the
cause and effect you remove Eric Adams? What happens? You
got lunatic Jumani Williams as your mayor. And you know
who's next, the biggest shark circling around Gracie Mansion swimming

(12:20):
in the East River with the grin of all grins
who put about fifteen thousand seniors to their death. Hmm,
Andrew Cuomo. There was a poll that came out last
week and Cuomo will win. He's got about a third
of the vote of Democratic primary voters. You know, all
the ones who care about women, women must be believed. Yeah,
those are the ones. Adams gets like ten percent, there's

(12:44):
twenty five percent undecided, by the way, and Scott Stringer
and the rest of them, they're you know, they're like
way behind. Will Cuomo get in? Probably that guy is
not happy unless he's biting somebody or or you know,
he's not happy unless he makes other people unhappy. And

(13:05):
this is his way of getting back in. He doesn't
want to be mayor, he wants to be governor again.
You think Kathy Hokeel is gonna put He's gonna at
least give a lane or do what she can do
to get Cuomo back. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (13:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
So Eric Adams is not going to be removed. Let's
take that off the table. Will Eric Adams run as
a Republican? All right? Let me tell you about that.
So yesterday was the deadline to switch parties if you
wanted to run. If, in his case, he wanted to
switch from Democrat to Republican, that's over with that deadline.
He cannot switch. Can he run as a Democrat, which

(13:44):
he is in a primary? Yes? Can he also run
as a Republican either if he gets a primary or
if he loses the Democratic primary still run as a
Republican in November? The answer is maybe. Here's the mechanism.
It's something called a Wilson Bakoula. It's a law and
this is kind of unique to the rest of the country.

(14:04):
New York of course, but it allows the party or
a party to give you what's called a Wilson Bacula
certificate or authorization to run on their line. So it's
cross endorsement. Happens all the time when I was a Republican.
I am a Republican, but when I was running, if

(14:25):
I had the Conservative Party support, which I did, the
Conservative Party would have to allow me to run on
their line because I'm not enrolled in their party, and
I did. That's what the Republicans can do now in
New York City, you need three of the five counties
to support you in a majority right now, and I've

(14:45):
spoken with people the Bronx and Manhattan would probably go
with Eric Adams. Brooklyn and Staten Island have already endorsed
Curtis Sliwa. That leaves Queens as a maybe and could
be persuaded. And certainly if Donald Trump gets involved and says, hey,

(15:07):
we want Eric Adams, then I think they would do that.
So this can play out because the timeline for this
still is the petitions are going to start February twenty fifth,
is when the clipboards go out. People start knocking on
the door or going to the subway and saying would
you sign for Joe Blow. So between February twenty fifth

(15:31):
and April third is when you gather collection, you know,
you collect the petitions. April seventh is the last day.
That's the key day. Okay. So if Eric Adams is
going to run as a Republican, they got to go
out and get signatures and he can get the authorization
by that party, the Republican Party, to run. That would

(15:53):
be his safety net. If he lost the Democratic primary
to Cuomo or whomever that's going to play, that is
a distinct possibility, I think. So there's so much going
on right now, this whole southern District of New York
and independence. Thing to me is that is the resistance

(16:14):
and that needs to be stopped. And I'm glad they
either resigned or were fired. They should be fired, so
that's on their resume, their pushback. One eight hundred and
three two one zero seven ten. One eight hundred and
three to two one zero seven ten. Let's talk a
little bit about Eric Adams the mayoral race, whether you

(16:36):
think the charges should have been dropped, whether he should
run as a Republican. Crossing doors, this is going to
be a very interesting next couple of months, and of
course all of this is tied in in some way
to the immigration issue and the defiance by these dangerous
socialist progressives in this city and running the country at

(17:00):
least of the Democratic Party. They are literally think about this.
Could you imagine if I say, hey, hey, hey, no, no, no,
you leave our rapists alone. If you're a murderer, you're
a rapist, don't go after them. This is what these imbeciles,
these dangerous imbeciles are doing. They are protecting. They are

(17:21):
throwing their arms around dangerous criminals who don't even belong
to They're not even here legally.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
They will not.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Allow Eric Adams, or at least this is what he's
trying to do, allow Ice back inside Rikers, so when
they are released, they go immediately into cuffs. Ice takes
these violent criminals and get them the hell back to
where they first came from. That's what they're fighting him.
That's why they want Eric Adams removed. These people are

(17:53):
sick in the head and dangerous.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
D e.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Two one zero seven ten one eight hundred and three
to two one zero seven ten. You know what they
should do. They should put these illegals if they can't
get on a plane, they should put them in a
Liros point to point. I mean that that's horrible. I
shouldn't be saying that, because I'm sure that's the last
thing Liros wants is for me to have illegal aliens
in their cars. Anyway, Look, if your time is valuable

(18:23):
to you and you need to ride from point A
to point B, then you call Liros. Liros they are
really really good. You can sleep, you can relax, you
can socialize, do your emails whatever while they drive. And
I would much rather have a really good company like
Liros pick your loved one up than some you know

(18:44):
lift guy that you don't know who he is. Because
safety really is their number one priority. All their chauffeurs
are screened, they pass background checks, they carry five million
in liability insurance, and they've got impeccable, really an impeccable
fleet of vehicles. So if you want to go to
the airport, you need a sedan, you want to go

(19:04):
around town, you have that special event, call Liros. They'll
get you there, and they'll get you there safely and
on time. For more information, lirostg dot com, Liros l

City in America. Toyota City. I love these guys. They've
got all the cars. They're probably all snowy right now.
But when the snow melts, probably tomorrow, I think we're
supposed to get temperatures in the mid to upper forties
and rain, which is perfect. It'll wash all this junk away,
so then you'll be able to see all those beautiful

(19:59):
cars in the lot at Toyota City where they've got
all the different types of models, a very big inventory,
transparent pricing, no hidden fees, very easy to get a
car there, or a vehicle of your choosing. You get
the respect, you get customer care that you can't get
anywhere else. They're all part of that Integrity Automotive Group,

(20:22):
which they're really really good. Mike Ianelli and the whole
gang there. They're really good people, and I'm part of
their family because that's where I got my vehicle. So
head over either directly in Mamaronick in Westchester to Toyota
City to see the car. Or just like fire up
your laptop, go to Toyota cityany dot com and everything's

(20:43):
right there at your fingertips. Transparency, efficiency and respect is
what you're going to get at Toyota City. In mamaranak okay,
rob Astrino here on seven to ten, wor it is
time to go to the phones. One and three two
one zero seven ten. Let us start in Long Island,

(21:05):
Uh Lou in Levittown, Hey, Lou, Well.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
Let's get Let's get Curtis sweeler In. Let's get Carl
the Mari Hollywood thirty sixty full time radio shows on
w R Let's help War to the War and BBCLI
and Doctor.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
All right. You know what he does every week he
pretends he's from somewhere. He gives himself a different name,
different location. It is like the Gog Show. No, that's right,
but you got weah, that's what you got to do. Yeah,
all right, let's go to Larry in Dobbs Ferry.

Speaker 8 (21:38):
Hey, Larry with the paper bag on his head. Yop,
your show is your show is tremendous and it's growing
bigger and bigger. You've got no competition. Listen, Uh, what's
going on today in his country is said, But the
President Trump is going to try to change everything. It's
not going to be easy. But the distractions, and that's all,

(22:00):
they are distractions. You just got to plow straight ahead,
getting the government down. The size. Really, the waste that's
in there is a horror show. Affirmative action race quote
is horror show. Legal aliens. People realize some of these
illegal aliens are convicted child molesteds. You want them in
your country, of course not. You want to manage it
here as soon as possible.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Now, these are the ones that they're protecting. These are
the ones that are wrapping their arms around because they
don't make any distinction. Everybody here illegally. Uh, they're all humans.
No human is illegal, blah blah blah. And they're willing,
they are willing to protect them. It's just unimaginable to
me that they that they would actually sit there and

(22:42):
make that argument that Eric Adams and Big Bead, Donald
Trump and Tom Holman should have nothing to do with
going after these animals, these rapists and murderers and violent
thugs who are preying on, by the way, not just
a citizens, but also those those who are here illegally,

(23:04):
in their in their community because a lot of times
they're not gonna speak up. So they are being sex trafficked,
They are being abused physically, and you want to you
wanna these are the ones you're sticking up for. You're sick.
These people are sick. Andrew and Stanhope, New Jersey, how
are you? You're on the Rob Astarino Show.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
You're correct, And I'd like to say I'm shocked that
the Democrats aren't going along with doche and even if
they don't agree with it, just to show faith because
Clinton did. And you know the video the Republican showed
was Democrats in the past at least playing lip service
to it. But maybe they're afraid they're going to get busted,

(23:46):
like maxiine Water. But I wanted to give my own
example of government waste. And I worked for the Associated
Press just as an election night reporter, and I always
remember I always wondered, like, how can they hire so
many people, all these reporters all over the country, plus
all the dispatchers taking the phone calls with the results,

(24:07):
and it's so wasteful. Because the results are on the
county websites nowaday And I remember posting my photo with
my little Associated Press you know press pass thing, and
someone commented, I thought that went the way of the
Dodo bird. Yeah, but it's unnecessary because they just say
go to the website. So even when I show up

(24:29):
at the precinct, they just direct me to their website.
And one time the Associated Press actually switched me to
Connecticut from New Jersey and they said, oh, don't worry,
you could just do it from home. So it's like
a total way. But now I know they probably got
that funding from the federal government. So that's my example.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
They better not get funding from the federal government. Mean,
it's bad enough. PBS is still alive in this day
and age. Can you not find alternative programming to the
basic networks? Please? There's like hundreds of channels. There's channels
and networks you've never heard of, and yet I'm still
paying for National Public Radio and PBS. I don't care.

(25:10):
If they were conservative bent, I wouldn't want to pay
for them. There's just there's no need. It's not nineteen
sixty anymore. You can argue about their programming and it
is definitely liberal. Some of it is actually very good.
I think some of it is, you know, very interesting.
I love some of the concerts they've actually put on there.
It's not the point my money shouldn't be going to

(25:31):
pay for National Public Radio or something like PBS. It
just shouldn't. Anyway, let's get back to the phones. One
hundred and three two, one zero seven ten Sondra who
picked it right with the Eagles last week? How are you?

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (25:47):
Well, but I have to tell you. You have such
a beautiful way of explaining everything that's happening. It's like
so smooth and so clear, and you just make it
so understanding. So I think, thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (26:02):
You're welcome.

Speaker 9 (26:02):
So I'll tell you where I am with Hockel and
Eric Adams. Like I was so happy when I heard
that Governor Hockel was going to go to the White
House and meet Donald Trump. And then I find out
she canceled. Then I see the writing on the wall
that it's downhill, and then she decided that maybe she'll
fire Eric Adams. And then I say to myself, what's next?

(26:27):
And then I hear that, Then I say to myself,
instead of firing Eric Adams, she needs to get fired,
And I said, is that even possible? Does anyone have
the authority to do that? Like Donald Trump? Then I
heard Tom Holman saying the same thing, that maybe she
ought to go. So that's where I am with all this.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, No, Unfortunately, there's no mechanism. Well there is impeachment there,
but there's no mechanism to get rid of the governor
other than the impeachment avenue, which is kind of how
they forced Andrew Cuomo out. You know, those charges were
kind of brewing, and they were holding that over his head,

(27:06):
and he completely bent over during the whole budget to go.
He gave them everything they wanted and and and then eventually,
you know, he saw the writing on the wall and
he didn't want to be impeached or even having that
to go further, so he stepped down, which at this
point now he regrets, which is why he's circling the

(27:28):
water and looking at the mayor's race, which he will
win based on name idea alone. And these phonies, these
progressive women, especially these phonies who you know, all women
must be believed blah blah blah. Yeah, okay unless it's
your guy. And three two, one zero seven ten, Terry

(27:52):
and baside Queens Hey, Terry.

Speaker 8 (27:56):
Hi Rod Lot. Some show I'm voting to Curtis, but
I think Curtis is just running a publicity's stunt. A
Republican cannot win in New York City anymore. And but
Curtis also makes fun of Italian Americans and he calls
them names. How you going to win? The people are
going to be turned off. They're not voting, They're voting
with their feet, and they're leaving New York City. It's unfortunate.

(28:18):
And he's going to go out and it's always entertaining.
When he goes to Staten Island, he calls them Steyn
in Italy because there's a lot of Italians who are
conservative there, but he calls them names. They're not going
to vote for him. You can't go by people who
call talk radio. The overwhelming majority of people called talk
radio are not conservatives. People have to realize that. I
can't believe people are on the Eric Adams bandwagon. He

(28:38):
invited the invaders into New York City. Him and father
Dolan were wiping their feets and bathing the illegal aliens,
giving them welfare free, food, free hotels, hope you can't vote.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Why do I draw the crazies at the end there
on a Saturday afternoon. It can't be the snow rob
Astorino here on seven WR Pick up the phone if
you want to call me because I run into people.
I was in shop right the other day. I think
three people came up to me and said, oh, I
love your radio show. I listen, and then they started

(29:12):
asking me questions what I think, and I'm like, no, no, no,
I'm not doing a radio show in Aisle six. I
do it Saturday at four o'clock. So call me up
one eight hundred and three two one zero seven ten.
Jeff in New Jersey? How are you, Jeff?

Speaker 8 (29:28):
Fine? I hope I'm not one of the craziest. I
was calling because I'm really disgusted at some of these
commentators that are getting the vapors over whether the government
made a deal with Eric Adams to drop the case
in exchange for helping with the illegals. And I don't

(29:48):
know if he did or didn't. I suspect he did,
but I can't say for sure. What I can say
is the government makes deals every day of the week.
Excellent point for for lesser charges in exchange for something.
It might be information, might be testimony. So the idea
that the deal was, Okay, we'll drop the charges in exchange.

(30:14):
Three who helping us with the illegals. I think that's
a pretty damn good deal for the government actually, because
it was a weak case and it's going to be
a lot easier if the city helps the Feds with
the illegals.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Absolutely right, and thank you for the call, Jeff, I
appreciate it. They do. They make it all the time
they're making deals. And yes, politics does seep into their decisions.
As I said before, they got to where they are
because of politics. They were in the party, they were donors, whatever,
that's just part of who it is. Just because somebody

(30:48):
is a judge or somebody is a prosecutor doesn't mean
they don't get influenced or that they don't have their
own opinions. And those opinions come into play all the time.
Time they've got to make a judgment call on whether
or not they should file charges, get an indictment, and

(31:08):
if it's weak, they're supposed to use discretion. And so
the new team comes in, just like in a corporation
or anywhere, new team comes in, takes a look and says,
wait a minute, what the hell are they thinking. Do
they just continue on wasting time and money or worse,
being unfair and unjust, or do they cut the cord?

(31:29):
They cut the cord. But even if there was a deal,
like okay, you know what, these charges, they're probably not
strong and we could drop them. But if we're going
to drop them, then you got to do your job.
That's why you're saying as mayor. And he couldn't effectively
do his job, by the way, because he's got a

(31:51):
primary in a couple months. How could he do his
job with this hanging over his head? And he loses
security clearance, all those things. One in hundred and three
to two one zero seven ten one hundred three two
one zero seven ten. Let's go to uh we got
Chris and Bethpage, Long Island.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Hi, Chris, Hey, Rob, just one order of business before
I get to my point. That guy keeps calling he
closed all the time. He's gonna call again. It's Eve
from Manhattan. He's been banned from every radio station. All
he says is go if you can and go. He
gets out right away. I can my ears a tune
to him. He fakes his voice. He takes this, and

(32:29):
you'll see he's gonna get on again.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Oh we know now, we actually do know what he's calling.
And I'm playing with him a little bit.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
Go ahead, yeah, okay, So anyhow, I worked in the city.
I've been in the city for forty years.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
Uh, it was great for twenty years. Julianium Bloomberg great.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
The Blasio destroyed. It was terrible, and Adams as pretty
much continue with the Blasio's done. The city is a
joke and Adams has to go. First of all, he
called himself the Biden of Brooklyn, if you remember who
would ever say that about that. Secondly, he let in
the illegal immigrants. Okay, we know that. Thirdly, and someone's

(33:07):
got to address this when you're running from mayor. I
see it all the time. You have to stop the
people jumping the turnstiles. That's the number one problem in
the city. MTA lost one billion dollars last year. It's
a fixable problem. I can make suggestions. I would gladly
do it. You hire people, you know, once the's token

(33:27):
clerks left, once they'regone and they're not there anymore. They
were a bit of a deterrent. Now there's no deterrent anymore.
I think you should just put an MTA person with
the jacket on at everything, at least as a deterrent
so people won't jump. I'm not saying you have to
arrest them, but act as a deterrent. He lost one
billion dollars. Is nobody addressing this issue?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
No, it's obviously a good point. And yet, look, the
grade on Eric Adams goes anywhere from a C to
an incomplete because he certainly failed the beginning. But he
ran on public safety. That's the thing he ran on
and won in the primary because he was running against
all those on his left. So he did run on

(34:09):
cleaning up the city in public safety. He just he
didn't execute that well. But I think his heart was
in the right place and knew where he needed to go.
But then the immigration stuff. Look, it's not his fault
that they were all being flown in or that the
southern border was wide open by the Biden administration, but
when they got here, that's where the issue should have

(34:32):
come to a head. And look, I mean, he's a
Democrat in a democratic city. This isn't like a middle
of the road fifty to fifty, So politics definitely comes
into play. And I think he was trying to straddle
the road, and that's a problem. You're gonna get hit
by a bus if you're standing in the middle of
the road, and I think politically he's getting hit by

(34:52):
a bus. So I think now you know, he's trying
to turn it around and say, look, I mean his
whole may oral might hinge on whether he can clean
this place up soon. And that's the help from the
federal government. If he lets Homan and these guys do
what they do and they're walking out, these violent criminals,
these despicable human beings. What normal person wouldn't say thank

(35:17):
you to that. I mean, that's what he's got to run.
One two, one zero seven ten. Steven Rigo Park, Hi, Steve.

Speaker 10 (35:28):
I'll make a quick Why can't the Republicans get a
middle of the road candidate? Courtis Leewood cannot win. He
is a clown like the previous color set. He makes
fun of all ethnics and has insults for all the unions.
This man just cannot win.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Well, you're probably right. I mean it's hard for a
Republican to win anyway. With the six and six to
one disadvantage you have in enrollment. So, I mean, but
what normal person, what business leader wants to step up
in this in this kind of climate. Now, it's not
like twenty twenty five years ago where there were Democrats

(36:07):
who were a lot more normal than they are now. Unfortunately,
the wackadoo's really lead the way in this city. And
it's scary. And that's why, I mean, they're almost uncontrollable.
It's sick, it's crazy. Let us go to what do
we got Steve here in New York City?

Speaker 8 (36:27):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yes, yes, yeah, aah, that's Steve.

Speaker 11 (36:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Huh.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
How's it going, Rob? I just heard my name mentioned.
These guys for years have always tried to get.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Me banned, real quick, real quick. What's your question?

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Well?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Comment?

Speaker 8 (36:43):
My thing is the same thing with Curtis run. He
ran a horrible campaign four years ago. Curtis Lee will
and he does not connect the groups, especially Italian Americans
and Irish Americans, and now he wants them to vote
for him. That's like a clown show. Yeah, and he
will never identify the people who attack this son. This kid,
Anthony's a good kid. It's like twenty one years old.
Got attacked. But he'll he'll name other people that we

(37:05):
don't want to keep here in name like Luigi loves
that name.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Luigi Steve. Thank you. I gotta, I gotta. I got
other people on the line, and I gotta get I

Did somebody say Nissan City. I think that was me.
I said it, Nissan City and Portchester right off Egsit
eleven on two eighty seven or off twenty one on
I ninety five, coming either from Connecticut or of course
north from the Bronx. It's great Nissan City. They've got

(40:26):
the inventory and they've got those great lease rates and
financing offers. You get their words, so like you sit
down with them and look, so what kind of Nissan
you want? That's what you would get someplace else, you know,
you know I'm talking about the sleazy car dealers. You
don't get that at Nissan City in Portchester. Very professional,

(40:47):
very nice, very friendly, no need to be nervous, sit
down with them. They're like family. In fact, I'm part
of their family because I got my vehicle from the
Integrity Automotive Group and you should too, So head over
to Nissan City in Portchester.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
I was watching last night Marty, the movie Marty with
Eric Ernest Borgnine, right, and it was on AMC and
it was interesting because the hit the girl that he
met said she was going to take a job in
port Chester's that was in that movie if you go
see it, And I was thinking, maybe she should go

(41:28):
see Nissan City in Portchester. I don't know if they
were open in nineteen fifty five. I don't think so,
but anyway, if it were now, she should go up
to port Chester. Who's the You should look that up.
Who was the actress in that alongside Ernest Borgnine in
the movie Marty. Maybe that was it. I don't remember

(41:48):
it was. Actually it was a good movie anyway, So
go say hi to the folks at Nissan City and Portchester.
Look him up. Nissan cityeny dot com, Nissan cityeny dot
com US snowy Saturday afternoon, gonna start tonight and turned
to rain, but tomorrow be in the mid forties, so
to wash all this junk away, thankfully, and at least

(42:11):
the dogs will have somewhere to go on on the
lawns because they don't like the snow with their little feet.
H Steven in Somers in Westchester. How are you, hey, Rob?

Speaker 11 (42:23):
How are you doing? That was great? He always spot
on with important issues.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (42:29):
I'm just calling because I'm concerned that, unfortunately Christine Maulty
lost to Jenkins Counton executive.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 11 (42:40):
The concern I have is I live in much justter
of course, and the thing is he's all for sanctuary
cities and just wondering how that's gonna play out. And
by the way, when you were a Counton executive, you
have held that that issue there and you did really good. No,
thank you, we appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (42:58):
Thanks.

Speaker 11 (42:59):
I'm just wondered with yes.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Well, no, it's going to be status quo in Westchester.
Ken Jenkins got elected, so he fills out the term
of Latimer till the end of the year, but he
has to run again in November, so there's another shot
either for Christine Scalti or whoever the Republicans put up.
And you know it'll be tough, but it's it's always possible.
You don't know, you don't know how this year is

(43:21):
going to play out. But we'll see Westchester is like
three to over three to one Democrat. Now it is
like the sixth Borough of New York unfortunately. All right,
rob Astorino here one eight hundred and three two one
zero seven to ten. Let's go to Brooklyn and hal
how are you.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yep?

Speaker 5 (43:43):
How are you doing?

Speaker 11 (43:43):
Rob that?

Speaker 5 (43:44):
Afternoons? I'm going to bring up something that no one
seems to be discussing, and out of curiosity, would you
happen to know who bailed out Rudy Giuliani in the
case in Atlanta with the two women and pay the
possibly tens of millions of dollars? Uh?

Speaker 3 (44:02):
What?

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Who?

Speaker 5 (44:04):
I'm asking you because I haven't heard anything about it.
Of who did it?

Speaker 2 (44:09):
What do you mean who dropped the kid well in Georgia?

Speaker 5 (44:13):
Who bailed who paid? Who bailed him out? That's what
I'd like to know.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Oh, I don't know, I don't know. I mean, well, no,
but he has It might have been one of the
President's packs that he'll pay for the legal defense. Rudy
Giuliani would.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
Have been one of the billionaires attached to the president,
or could have been the president himself. But the question
is nothing is done for nothing. And usually when you
give that kind of money, it's not given it as
a gift, It's given as an advance for a future
performance contract. Now, what is the possibility that one of

(44:49):
those performances is Regiuliani support of Eric Adams as a
Republican or an independent.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Oh, I don't know. I mean, look at the.

Speaker 9 (44:59):
Juli.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
First of all, Giuliani and Trump have been very good friends. Obviously,
Giuliania has his own defense fund. I'm getting emails from him,
you know, mass emails asking for money to help pay
for it. And I think, you know, I do think
he was royally screwed in Georgia. They went after him
here in New York. They took away his law license.

(45:20):
I mean, you know, a lawyer giving advice to his
client all of a sudden that they're attacking. Now, I mean,
you know, the left and their law fair really really
went after people, and I mean it was really it's dangerous.
He may not agree with Guliani, but I mean, please,

(45:43):
he's he's able to give defense to his client. Betsy
Blair that was in the movie, was she was the one? Okay?
Betsy Blair in nineteen fifty five. So Marty that that
movie won an Academy Award. I think, right, that's why
it was on AMC. They had all their Valentine's Oscar

(46:04):
winning movies. Yeah, it was in the Bronx and they
was talking about Fordham Road. It was really it was
actually it was pretty good. Let's see. I uh, all right,
Kevin real quickly, long beach. How are you, Kevin, Mama,
I'm just a ugly man. Yeah, that's right, that's that
was from the movie.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
I was just goin to tell you.

Speaker 8 (46:26):
Betsy Blair was the actress. Clara had a teacher then Clara,
that's right, and young Jack Clubman. It was also as well.
Uh it was only Excuiors was shot in New York
as well too.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Yeah. No, it was great.

Speaker 8 (46:40):
And my favorite is when he punches the bus sign
at the end.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 8 (46:45):
Yeah, that's why I wanted to talk about the west
Chester County executive race and what happened there. Boy, I
was hoping to be some kind of Trump effect in west.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
We The prop well, there might have been a Trump effect,
and thanks Kevin. The issue was it was the reverse
maybe with so many Democrats in New York City, so
many Democrats in Westchester. The Trump arrangement syndrome is starting
to starting to hit, and that's an issue. That's a problem.

(47:14):
I was in Florida. I mentioned last week that I
was going to Florida, and I was there on Monday.
I flew down and I was in Boca for a day.
I was at Newsmax where headquarters is, and then I
was up in Palm Beach for some meetings. And you know,
I was lucky to have a little downtime and I

(47:35):
was just like running to the beach. I was just
loving sitting there in that eighty one degree weather, warming
my bones, just looking at that beautiful sun and blue skies,
hearing that ocean. It does wonders, man, I really, it's
just it gets you out of this funk of this

(47:55):
crappy weather and that stupid groundhog that said, yes, six
more weeks this junk. It's always nice, but there was
you just run into so many New Yorkers and so
so many people are bringing their dogs on these planes.
And I mean, I love my dogs, Bella and Luna,

(48:19):
I truly do. And when I came home, oh my god,
it's so great that that welcome from them. I mean,
they just wouldn't leave me alone, which is so beautiful.
But the airport's kind of becoming. I was in Palm
Beach trying to come home, and I'm waiting in the
at the gate and all you hear I literally, I

(48:40):
was hearing dogs. I was like I was at a
dog pound. There were like five or six dogs barking
at each other. And this is what's happening. Everyone's bringing
on there onto the plane. They're little dogs, and some
of them are cute and they don't move, you don't
even know they're alive. And then the other ones are
you know, they're bigger dogs, but they're starting to bark

(49:02):
and be annoying. Anyway, I had other things I wanted
to tell you about Florida, which may I guess I'll
do it next week. And something happened at Shopwright which
really annoyed me. I gota, I'm gonna put my little notes.
Can you remind me, Bruce next week? I'm gonna I
do want to mention that. And if you do see
me at Shopwright or in the airport or wherever you

(49:24):
see me, say hello, but also call up and tell
your friends as you're doing, and I'm very grateful for that.
I'll be back next Saturday one to three on Newsmax,
and then of course right here on seven ten WOR
four o'clock to five o'clock every Saturday. Thank you for
joining me. I love you, and I will be back.

(49:47):
