Speaker 1 (00:00):
This hour of programming on seven ten Doubor. 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 Astarita on seven ten.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
All right, we're underway, Rob Asperino. Here, you there and
pick up the phone. One eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten. One eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. Couple things. Uh, it's obviously it's going a
little viral light now right now on my social media

(00:45):
at Rob Asperino on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. I'm
gonna talk about the New York City mayor ol race.
I'm gonna break down how hard it's going to be
for Adams or Sleewood to win it they could, and
the efect of Andrew Cuomo's staying on the ballot that's
gonna hurt as well. But we'll go through this New

(01:06):
York City mayoral primary and how Mam Donnie won and
what it's going to take to actually win. I have
the numbers in front of me, so I mean, in
every election, we go through exactly what our vote total
needs to be to win the race, and then you
got to go get it, ma'am. Donnie got it. Cuomo didn't.
But going forward, Adams has to, you know, come back

(01:28):
from the dead and win. And it's possible, but very hard,
but it is possible. And I'll explain how.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, and it
really just it's like sticking in my craw. I mean,
we could have this conversation about Pride Month and all
this other stuff. I mean, it's just to me, it's
ridiculous and it's gotten completely out of hand and some
of its swinging back a little bit towards normalcy. And

(01:59):
but this whole transgender thing, it took a beating in
the Supreme Court this week, thank god. Especially you know,
giving kids life altering medicines or surgeries, you would think that,
you know, you would have, especially in the business community,
people would want to just not deal with this, not

(02:22):
get directly involved in this, and just focus on whatever
their business is. Well, So I'm walking from Grand Central
across to Newsmax. So I come out, you know, like
forty third Street, and I'm walking up lex and there
it is the Lexington Hotel, which is a Marriott property.

(02:46):
Now I want to make a correction here because on
my social media and the video I did, I said
the Hotel forty eight Lex. They're both there. It's like
the same building. It's hard to tell what entrance is what.
But anyway, this was so I missed. Aken Lee said
the Hotel forty eight Lex. So my apologies because they're
getting calls start calling the Lexington Hotel, which is a Marriotte.

(03:11):
So I'm walking and I look up and this was
several weeks ago and it's still up. There are three
big flags in front of the hotel that face onto Lexington.
Three big poles, three big flags. The two outside poles
have the brand that's whatever Lexington Hotel. That's what it says,

(03:36):
it's the hotel flag. And then the middle flag is
the transgender flag. You see something missing there. So June
fourteenth was Flag Day where we all should be patriotic
about our American flag Old Glory. July fourth is coming

(03:58):
up this weekend. Guarantee you won't be up. But the Marriot,
the Lexington Hotel, Marriott property thinks that the US flag
is somehow a turn off to their business, since they
have it nowhere in sight. The transgender apparently we live

(04:18):
in the city of transgender or the state of transgender
or the United States of transgenderism, because that's their flag.
So upflying is the transgender flag surrounded by two other flags,
which is the Marriot brand flags. Okay, nothing's wrong with this.
No idiot in the Marriot corporation or at this hotel

(04:40):
thought to say, I don't know, maybe instead of those
two flags that say found and the transgender is something missing?
Do you think we should have the US flag? Not
one person set a thing. I just called them because
I wanted to be fair. I'm blasting them and they
deserve to be blasted. But I figured, let me see

(05:01):
if there's an explanation. So I called the front desk
and I spoke to three different people, neither of they
all hummed, you know, uh, I don't, I don't. Let
me try to get you to somebody who can answer that, uh.
And then they put me to someone else answers, uh,
let me see if I can get you to some
and then I go into some voicemail. So I tried

(05:24):
to be fair. All I wanted was an explanation on
why the Lexington Hotel does not have a US flag
up and has the transgender and two flags that say
found which is their brand? Because I passed a whole
bunch of hotels with the transgender flag up. The Hotel Intercontinental,

(05:45):
there was another, I think a Hilton Garden enn or
one of them. They had the transgender flag up, and
but at least they had the US flag. I passed
the Peninsula, the Saint Regis. They didn't have the transgender flag.
They had what was supposed to be up the US
flag their flag, and they had the State of New
York flag. It might sound trivial to some, but it's not.

(06:08):
It's the it's the degradation of this of this country.
It is it. We are rotting from within because we
it used to be good to be patriotic. We're not anymore.
We're we're learning to hate our country. We're learning we're
being told that we're rotten and that nothing else meant.

(06:29):
We're not one where we're freaking bowing. At least we
had to at one point bow to this nonsense. So
you want to call the lectures in the hotel, go
right ahead, just ask them, ask them, ask the front desk.
Can you explain to me why? Or email them the info?
I forget what. They look them up online, just send

(06:51):
them a wonder why. I wonder why. But it gets
into the next thing, and that's this man, Donnie. It's
all the same. They're all coming from the same universe
as socialism, which hates pride. And when I say pride,
I don't mean pride month, I mean pride for your country,

(07:13):
because God and family should be first and foremost. You
look up and this is scary. The Democratic Socialists of
America platform what they believe in. Okay, that is what
Mamdani believes in. And he is potentially and probably going
to be the mayor of New York City. So I

(07:34):
looked it up because look, if you're running on their line,
if you're running as a Democratic Socialist, then you believe
what they believe in. Says right on their platform. Defund
the police, Disarm law enforcement officers for all people from
involuntary confinement, close local jails, social ownership of all major

(07:57):
industry and infrastructure, nationalization of businesses like railroads, utilities, critical
manufacturing and technology companies, institutions of monetary policy, insurance, real
estate finance. Slash the US military spending, close all US
foreign military bases, immediately withdraw from NATO, end all deportations,

(08:21):
demilitarize the border, end all immigrant detention and abolish ice,
abolish the Senate, end all incarceration, open the jails. That
is what the Democrats have just nominated as their candidate

(08:43):
to carry the flag, whatever flag it would be here
in New York City. And the scary part is, once
you give life to a character like this, a dangerous
character like this, just like AOC, it spawns a whole
bunch of them all over the country. You're gonna see

(09:05):
all these little Mamdami's hatch everywhere in little communities in
big cities, and they're gonna run for the school board
and win. They're gonna run for the town board or
village board and win and get that platform, and then
they become ready to vote and on these crazy things.

(09:26):
And then they all of a sudden start running for
the state Assembly or state Senate or Congress, and they
have a base and a platform to jump off of,
and that's how they win. They need to be suffocated
in the cradle. And unfortunately, ma'm Domi ran a great campaign.
He ran a really really good campaign. And if you

(09:48):
remember about two months ago when he was down about
forty points to Cuomo, I said, this is the guy
to be careful of. I saw some of his social media.
I saw how he presented, how he talked, He's smiled.
I mean, he's a charming guy. He looks like a
guy you like to sit down and just kind of
chat with. But he is frightening behind the scenes. What

(10:08):
he really truly believes in his core is frightening. So
now the Democrats are leading their way with this guy Cuomo.
As I said a while ago, I'm glad he lost
because he should never have had life to continue in
politics because he was a disaster as a governor. And

(10:30):
all the crap that we're dealing with right now in
New York City is because of Andrew Cuomo's right hand
in signing his name on all the legislation like no
cash bail, all of that. It's Andrew Cuomo, period. Mam Domi.
Mam Domi was spurned by all this bad stuff and

(10:51):
the Mamdammi voters, the so called quote highly educated, more
so white, ultra liberal and just stupid because I saw
interviews with some of them and they're more on the
young side, but just dumb, like you know, they'd be
asked a question, why'd you vote for this guy? Well,

(11:14):
because you know, I just don't feel safe anymore with
the crime. Oh okay, So the guy that wants to
open up all the jails and have no cash bail,
that's the guy you just voted for because you don't
feel safe, You moron, defund the police, all this stuff.
That's him. Now I'm gonna go through the numbers a

(11:35):
little bit because there's all this talk, and this is
where the media is so just they make no sense
because they don't know what they're talking about. They're saying, now, well,
you know maybe some rich people, and some rich people
said this. They don't know what they're talking about either. Well,

(11:55):
now we got to get a new candidate to jump in.
Oh really, maybe you should check New York state law first,
because the deadlines have passed. So Friday was the deadline
to get out of the race. You could decline after
the primaries if you lost, you could decline to be
on the ballot if you had another line. I e. Cuomo, Okay,

(12:20):
he didn't. Why didn't Andrew Cuomo? After taking a schalacking
and he ran the worst race. As I've said, I've
known Andrew Cuomo a long time. Okay, we had to
work together when I was county executive, he was governor.
I ran against him. I know that this guy is
a scorpion, and I know that he is not happy

(12:43):
unless he's got that fire in his eye and wants
to kill somebody. Basically, that's just who he is. And
I could see the entire time he had none of
that in this race. He was on a you know,
a pilot flame. And mana, Dommy was out there everywhere
just doing great videos, talking to anyone and everyone saying nonsense,

(13:07):
But who cares. Cuomo wasn't saying a thing. And then
the one video he did, we played it last week.
The one video he did was pretending to as stiff
as he is. He couldn't pull it off. He looked
even more ridiculous. But going after ice agents take your
mask off, Oh my god. So he deserved to lose

(13:29):
because of his record as governor. But ma'am, Dommy winning
is scary. Now, let me go through the numbers for
a second. Then I'll explain why is Cuomo's staying in
the race even if he's not going. But why he's
staying in the race, I figured it out anyway. So
let's go through the numbers for a little bit. Now,
I'll explain why it's so it's gonna be so hard

(13:51):
for Adams or Curtis Saliwa or Cuomo if he stays
on and Walden has another independent, why it's gonna be
hard for them. Let's go back to two thousand and one. Okay,
Green and Bloomberg. Bloomberg got fifty percent, just over fifty
percent of the vote, Green Democrat, Working Family Party. That

(14:12):
is exactly what Mamdami has. He has both of those lines.
He got seven hundred and ten thousand votes. Farrer lost
in five Okay, Bloomberg got seven hundred and fifty thousand
votes to win. In O nine Bloomberg and Thompson, lower turnout.
Bloomberg won with five hundred eighty five thousand. Doblasio comes
along in thirteen, gets almost eight hundred thousand. That was

(14:34):
the high water mark. Believe it or not, Deblasio getting
seven hundred and ninety five thousand. Joe lo to my
friend to sixty four. De Blasio again, as terrible as
he was this city, everyone complaining. He still gets seven
hundred and sixty thousand votes only a drop off of
thirty five thousand in seventeen from thirteen, and then Adams

(14:54):
with seven hundred and fifty four thousand. So what does
this mean. It means there's an average of about one
point one million million votes in a New York City election,
one point one million. Mamdami got four hundred and thirty
two thousand in the primary. Primary voters come out to
vote in the general election. They they're fired up, they're

(15:17):
the party faithful, they come out to vote no matter what. Okay,
so you can bank his four hundred and thirty two
thousand votes. Lander got one hundred and twelve thousand, and
he teamed up with Mamdami, So you can give just
about all of Lander's votes one hundred and twelve thousand
to Mamdami. And Adrian Adams did the same thing. She

(15:37):
only got forty one. But when you add those three up,
that's almost six hundred thousand votes that Ma'amdami has already
basically in the back pocket going into an election. He
needs about seven to fifty. Cuomo got three hundred and
sixty two thousand. Now you can say, well, okay, they'll
go somewhere else. No, not necessarily, because a lot of

(16:00):
those were from unions who had backed Cuomo because they
thought he was gonna win. These unions have already peeled
off from Cuomo after he lost, and they're backing Mamdami.
So you're gonna have those robots go out and vote
for Mamdami. And then you have just normal Democrats, well
not normal if they're going to vote for this guy,
but they stick with their party. So you're even gonna

(16:21):
have some of Cuomo voters who are probably just gonna
vote and stick with their party. So it's gonna be
really hard. However, however, the other candidates Adams, Curtis Leiwa
and and Will put Cuomo in there. You cannot have
three people going after the same barrel of votes. You'll

(16:43):
just split it up. Now, Cuomo should have dropped out.
He was embarrassed, but he felt entitled to win, and
he lost and he's done. Now, why did he not
get off completely off yesterday when he could have and
rallied around Adams or somebody. Why because he's egotistical. But

(17:03):
more than that, in the back of his head, Cuomo
is sitting here saying, all right, I got three hundred
and sixty two thousand votes. From a small pool of
Democratic primary voters. There are other people that will vote
for me in a general election. And he is sitting
back and just waiting to see if Mamdami completely implodes,

(17:24):
because the more that comes out about Mamdami, the more
he scares the crap out of everybody. But the business
community now is going to write big checks to Eric Adams,
to late folks, but they're going to try to do
it for Eric Adams. It's going to be really hard,
really hard for these guys to win, but they've got
to be unified. So long as Curtisly will continue to run,

(17:49):
Cuomo is on the ballot, He's going to get votes.
Even if he doesn't do a thing, he'll get votes,
and they will all come from Adams. Now, Curtis Ly
will look, if I'm Curtis Leewa, I'm probably saying, well,
screw you people, why should I get off. I'm the
Republican candidate. You know I went through the process. I'm
a major party candidate. But there's no money that's going

(18:13):
to Curtis. There's nobody rallying around. Curtis going to have
his block vote of Republicans, which might be twenty five
percent or whatever if that, so I understand why he's
staying on. I just don't necessarily think he should at
this point. He didn't even take the Conservative Party line,
by the way, he declined the Conservative Party line, so

(18:35):
he did his own, you know, save the dogs and
cats or whatever the hell it is, like people are
going to vote on that. So Eric Adams, if Curtis
were to get off, then the Republicans could have put
Eric Adams on that line if they won and gave
him a major one. But now it's too late. The
only way a candidate can be taken off the ballot

(18:57):
in the next couple of months until the ballots are
printed would be to move out of state or die,
or if they are a lawyer, they could be They
could be at the convention in September, swapped out, they
could run for a judicial race, and then their spot

(19:17):
would be vacated. I don't think Adams is a lawyer.
He's not. Curtis is not a lawyer, so there goes that.
So it doesn't look good. But if anyone, Adams might
have the only chance, because he now can get some
of those the black and Hispanic votes that went to Cuomo,
he can try to build the coalitions with the Orthodox

(19:40):
Jews who voted for Cuomo. So there is an opportunity
for him to put together some votes. I just don't
know if it's going to be enough. And so Mamdami
is the definite odds on favorite now that he won
the primary to become the next mayor. As scary as
that is, Uh, what do you think one eight hundred

(20:03):
and three to two one zero seven ten, One eight
hundred three to two one zero seven ten got him mighty?
This is crazy what we're going through here. Uh oh,

Astromino rolling along here on a Saturday afternoon. Cuomo's gone.

(21:52):
That's the good thing, ma'am. Dommy's going to be mayor
that's the bad thing. Go to my Facebook or x
Instagram and you can see the photo. By the way
of the Lexington Hotel, the Marriott where they have the
transgender flag, and on both sides of that flag they

(22:15):
have another flag which is called found I think that
that's like their property brand or something, but no US flag.
So feel free to call the Lexington Hotel two one
two seven five five forty four hundred and ask them
why there's no US flag, just like I did, and
I didn't get an answer. It is not Hotel forty

(22:36):
eight Lex, two different ones. My apologies to Hotel forty
eight lex for saying it was you. All right, let's
get to your calls. I'll before Oh my, I forgot
to do Premiere Comfort. Sorry about that. Heating and air conditioning,
they are really excellent for residential or commercial, like if
you want to do central air put it in. No

(22:56):
easy task, by the way, depending on the house, but
they can get it done. Or maintenance heating repairs, which
I know on a day like this now it got
hot when I was walking across town, pretty muggy, and
of course we just went through that heat dome. But
before you know it, it's gonna be the fall, and
instead of your boiler or furnace huffing and puffing, you

(23:17):
might as well get the heating repairs done right now,
or a heat pump. If you want to put in
or make that conversion, like from natural gas, from oil
to natural gas. I'd call Premiere Comfort Heating and air Conditioning.
In fact, I did, so you should too. They've got
a lot of different equipment options and financing available. They

(23:38):
have warranties, they're inshorted licensed, stay comfortable throughout the year,
get a free estimate and one percent satisfaction guaranteed. By
the way, call Premierecomfort dot com. Call Premierecomfort dot com
for Premiere Comfort Heating and air Conditioning. All right, Rob
Astrono show here on seven to ten R. All right,

(24:02):
let us start with Kevin in Long Island. Hey Kevin,
Hey Rob yea good how you doing?

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Okay? You know you should have let that tape play
a little longer because he actually asked the people that
were assembled there to applaud mad Manny and the and
the race that he read. Can you imagine, Yeah, I
mean talk about just giving up.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well, Coomo was never in it, That's the thing. He
never he was. He just felt entitled to walk in,
take the race and you know, become mayor that he
didn't want to do anyway, just to revitalize his career,
and the funny thing happened on the way. It passed
him quickly and he lost. And I mean he had
a forty point lead, for God's sakes, and twenty five

(24:45):
million backing him, and he lost.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
But I can't believe that people are amazed that this happened.
I mean, considering the city council as a quasi Marxist
and you know, and one again this time around and
Drew Jermoni Williams won again. It's yeah. I mean, I
think New York has lost personally. I don't think it's
gonna rebound, and not now, not this election anyway.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Well, but here's the think, Kevin, I thank you for
the call. You're on Long Island and you better watch
out and me and Westchester, because what happens when things
get so bad like we saw it in COVID the
response to COVID, We saw it through Deblasio's mayoralty. What happens.
They flee the city after they've destroyed it, by the way,

(25:33):
and then they go to areas like Nasau, maybe into Suffolk,
into Westchester, into Rockland, Putnam. They'll go into Bergen County
and other places in New Jersey and and like, you know,
the senseless robots that they are, they'll just start voting
down the line Democrat wherever they now set up camp,

(25:57):
even though they through New York City in their rear
view mirror, because it was it was burning down and
they let it. And that's the scary part. You're gonna
have thousands and thousands of New York City Democrats leave
New York City and go to the suburbs and then

(26:18):
vote Democrat in the suburbs one hundred and three two
one zero seven to ten. Scott staten Island, Hey.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Scott, Hey, Hi, how are you doing today?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I'm good.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Yeah, So I kind of agree what you said about Coloma.
You kind of thought he was gonna get in there
on on his old pants accolades, not really doing anything
or addressing a lot of his pants. And as far
as this guy, I my downie, I personally think that
number one, it was a low turnout vote. I can't
imagine that that people would vote this guy in by

(26:53):
by any means.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, it wasn't so low, I mean it was, it
wasn't extraordinarily low. And again, I mean the Democratic Party
that's the base of New York City. I mean Cuomo
did okay, he wants sat in Island. He did okay
in some Black neighborhoods and some Hispanic neighborhoods. But Ma'am
Dowmi held his own and Ma'am Downey got Jewish votes too,

(27:18):
which is insane because Ma'am Domi said, I mean forget
about Israel, you know, I mean that he would arrest
Benjamin Nett Yahoo if he came to New York. The
fact that he said that, oh, the into Fada means
different things to different people. No, it doesn't. Into Fada
means we want to kill Jews wherever we see them.

(27:38):
That's what he stands for. And he said it out loud.
And the fact that any self identifying Jew would vote
for this guy is insane. But here we are one
one hundred and three two, one zero seven ten. Let's
go to uh Ross in Westchester, Hi Ross.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
Hey, Rob, how are you?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
I'm good.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
I'm forty one on the flags. I've got my flags
flying in my front lawn and I keep it on
twenty four hours a day with lights on it at night.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Good for you? I mean, I just find it so
it's disheartening, but it's so disrespectful to this country, and
they don't see it or care, or maybe they're doing
it as a statement frigg the United States frig our
flag because you know what, to them, the left in
this country, the Marxists, the Mamdami's think that that flag

(28:35):
represents everything wrong with this world and it's rotten to
the core. And I said this probably ten years ago.
There will be a movement. It's already started in subtle ways,
including like the Lexington Hotel not flying the flag, and
the US government under Biden, the Democrats flying the transgender
flag on our embassies and at the White House front

(28:58):
and center. It's the US flag basically subservient to the
transgender flag that was so disrespectful and disgusting. But there's
that movement that at some point they're going to say
we need a new flag, a new design of a

(29:19):
flag in this country to truly represent the diversity, and
blah blah blah. It's gonna happen. I guarantee it, guarantee it.
Andrew in Stanhope, New Joyz, Hey, Andrew, how are you.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Great?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Reporting?

Speaker 7 (29:35):
Letting everybody know I just saw on that with I
support the LGBT community, like most people do and they
don't want discrimination. But Newsmatch reported that in the schools,
the agenda in the books that they were teaching that
doctors quote it said doctors do not know the gender

(29:56):
of the baby when it's born.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
That they guessed, Yeah, suspendable. Wal It's it's been a
wheel in the delivery room. You never know what's going
to come up.

Speaker 7 (30:04):
But so when you tell such a gregious lies, you're
just working against yourself. Then they're ironically losing support and
speaking of lies, just want to ask with the media,
and they're doubting if the bombings in Iraq and Iran,
I mean, were effective. It's the same media that said
Trump lied when he had the football college championship team

(30:27):
and said that there were Hamburgers stacked a mile high,
and they go, Trump lied, You'd need three point four
billion Hamburgers.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I remember that day.

Speaker 7 (30:36):
Media, how did you trust them on anything? But what
was your take on the Iran bombing?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Andrew, thank you so much?

Speaker 7 (30:46):
So.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I had told Larry MENTI who does our morning show
of course six a to ten a Monday through Friday.
I had told him not this past Friday, the previous
week before the bombing, where he had said, you know, well,
we'll find out in two weeks. I said, I don't
think it's going to be two. So I think it's
a head fake. I think Trump is going to take
action within that two weeks because he's given Iran the

(31:08):
opportunity and they're slow walking, and it was all headfake
and it was done masterly. And of course, so now
I'm watching CNN and MSNBC and all these ridiculous networks
who have completely gone off the rails, lost all credibility
and it's a shame. But they have, you know, obliterated.
So Trump says it's been obliterated, and then they go

(31:30):
on and on and on about you know, what's the
definition of obliterated, And then when they use a different
word like destroyed. No, he said it was obliterated. Now
he's saying it's destroyed. You can't be trusting him. Oh
my god. Just one in one hundred and three two
one zero seven to ten, one in hundred three to
two one zero seven ten. Frankie in the Bronx, how

(31:53):
are you doing, frank Hello, there, I'm doing good.

Speaker 8 (31:57):
I gotta tell you, though, I kind of saw this
coming basedun demographics. I read in the I want to
say it was the post the Barry Pork store in Brooklyn.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think it was.

Speaker 8 (32:08):
Benson Hurst area went out of business. No one would
buy it. There was no market because benson Hurst is
now overwhelmingly ya Many and Arabic. If you go out
into South Oast On Park, Queens, the whole area is
South Asian. Unfortunately, a lot of people vote ethnically, especially
first generation people, so Mandane has a large base just

(32:28):
based on his ethnic background. Combine that with the white people.
They're all moved here from the Midwest when Bloomberg took over.
I'm from a story originally that neighborhood is all now socialist.
When I was there was all working class ethnic people.
They're all gone, and the white people are moving. Don't
talk like New Yorkers. They're all from a trust fund
in the Midwest, and they're all socialists. So the transplantation

(32:51):
people like myself moving away. Do you know what I mean?
It's a new New York. It's not what it was
forty years ago.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
No, Frank, that is a great point. Thanks for the call.
It's a great point because what has supplanted you know,
as you mentioned, a lot of New Yorkers, even the
Democrats in the past, you know, a generation ago, two
generations ago, they would it was natural to leave New
York City and go to the suburbs, right. But these

(33:20):
were blue collar Democrats, working Democrats that you know would
cross over because things mattered, like safety of their neighborhoods,
education taxes, they were I mean, socialism. They would rally
around the flag. But they're gone, they're dead, they're in
Florida wherever. And you're right, what's come in is just

(33:41):
the lunatic fringe from all over and obviously these college campuses.
But you think about the immigrants. When I talk about immigrants,
those who actually have gone through the process, they are
now legally here would the ones who have come from,
you know, the countries that are total chaos. The Venezuelas

(34:06):
El Salvador was but is no longer, thankfully, But these
countries Nicaragua that were horrendous totalitarianism. The Russians who came over,
you know, they emigrated for reason, because they wanted to
escape this junk. And we're being reminded by them, they're

(34:27):
telling us, are you nuts? Do you have any idea
what we went through? And yet you know, and I
blame the parents. I'm sorry, I blame oftentimes I blame
parents for this. You know, if you're not teaching your
kids right and wrong, if you're not teaching your kids
to put your hand over the heart and pray or

(34:51):
at least give the pledge of allegiance or have reverence
for this country, then you're part of the problem too.
And they all said it couldn't happen, that they would
lose their country, and they did. And we're we're it
is slipping away. But thank god Trump is in and
we're putting a stop to some of this junk. And
the Supreme Court has taken action, thank god. But it

(35:14):
is very dangerous what is happening. And the San Francisco's,
the LA's, the Chicago's, the New York's, you go on
and on. It is rotten to the core. And you know,
it's like all the hell where they let it burn?
Who gives a crap about New York City. No, it's
not gonna burn. We're gonna get burned. And the people

(35:36):
who are stuck here have to pay the price. Let's
go to Dan in Westchester. Hi, Dan, Hey, you're wrong,
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Hey, listen, So what's the problem with Curtis? You know,
I think he can probably put a good campaign together.
And I think between Cuomo and that Madamie, they're all
going to split the vote. And I think he has
a really probably a good shot. He's going to get
money in July for the Republican body. And I think

(36:12):
if you get guy's course behind him and starts affording him, uh,
he gets somebody puts in a real campaign. This guy
is a real New Yorker and he talks, you know,
to us. I'm a I'm a real New New Yorker myself,
and I think he has great plans. He's talking about

(36:32):
bringing like a Dojia Act into the Gray Siu Manson,
and so I think Curtis has a real potential. The
probably will possibly be at these three guys in the
dec Party. That's that's my take on it. I think
I think if any time, I think Curtis has a
good shot if he really puts his money behind and

(36:55):
the people get behind him too.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Dan, thank you for the call. So the problem is
the really in a Republican Party in New York City,
there's not a lot behind it. There's not a lot
of money behind it. The big donors, you know, with
few exceptions, are not going to Curtis Sliwa right, wrong
or different. They don't see him as a legitimate candidate
or a chance to win. I'm not saying he doesn't
have a chance. He does, but it's going to be
a lot harder and the money's going to Adams now,

(37:20):
where they should have put the money behind Adams a
long time ago. But they ran behind Cuomo because they
thought he was inevitable and they were afraid of him,
even though Cuomo destroyed New York City. But the business
community in New York City never learns, and so you
know now they're going to pay the price, unfortunately. But
just looking at the raw numbers, and I don't think,
by the way, Curtis has run a good campaign. And

(37:40):
I'll tell in fact, I'll have Curtis on this show
at some point and I'll tell this to his face
because I've known Curtis a long time. Look, I would
want Curtis to win. I just don't think looking at
the numbers, this is a numbers game. Ma'm dommi four
hundred and thirty two thousand votes he got in the primary.
You put Lander and Adams together almost six hundred thousand votes.

(38:01):
He's gonna get Cuomo. Those votes are not necessarily going
to Adams or even Cuomo. Some of those are going
to peel off because there were union members doing what
they were told. They will now go to Mamdami and
and just the typical Democrat comes out and will stick
with their line. So it's going to be very hard.
But but but if they can coalesce around one person, maybe,

(38:24):
but if they're split up, no, it won't happen. I'll
take more of your calls in a minute. One one
hundred three two, one zero seven ten. Age Williams, are
you ready there? Bruce Williams Painting, AG Williams Painting, the Williams.

Speaker 9 (38:41):
To do the job right.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Oh, I would trust them, third generation, family owned and
business since nineteen oh six for all your residential commercial
I mean, if you have a business or you have
your own home you need to painted inside or out,
call AG Williams Painting. They are really good it at
what they do. I didn't know this though. They had

(39:03):
like if you've got furniture that you need stained properly
or refinished, they do that. I didn't even know that.
So I mean you could go to a cheap contractor
good luck, you'll end up doing it again and AG
Williams will probably be the call you'll make. So just
call them the first time and do it right. The
people you trust to do the job right. She's gonna

(39:23):
sing that in a second, but they're in the Westchester
Business Hall of Fame. Ag Williams Painting dot Com. Agwilliams
Painting dot Com. More of your calls in just a
bit as we round out this show On a hot Saturday,
Rob Estrono here on seven to ten WR. This is
a guy who just said that white neighborhoods should pay

(39:46):
higher property taxes in New York City. Do you understand
what he just said? White neighborhoods, You whities need to
pay higher property taxes. This is who may be the
next mayor of New York City. Oh, my wife went
to the airport. She went to Iceland. She's in Iceland
right now with her two cousins, one from England, one

(40:06):
from Ireland. They all celebrated their fiftieth birthdays. Am I
allowed to say that she's fifty? Oh no, I did.
You should have hit the dump button, but too late. Anyway,
they went to Iceland, and so I sent her, of
course in Liros point to point, because I'm not going
to take a chance with putting her in a smelly

(40:27):
Uberlero's point to point. They are so good what they do.
They show up like really early, They wait the professional
the drivers all have background checks, the cars smell nice,
their new safety as their number one priority. So if
you go to the airport, you want to go onto

(40:47):
the night out of town, maybe a wedding, all that
kind of stuff, prom make sure you call Leros one
eight hundred and eighty two Liros one eight hundred and
eighty two Liros or Liros, t EDG dot com, l
e r O s TG dot com, lerostg dot com,

(41:07):
UH one and three two one zero seven ten if
you want to call it the Lexington Hotel and ask
them about the flag. Why do they have a transgender
flag with the two flags next to it that says
found which is their brand apparently, and not the US flag.
They didn't have it up for a Flag Day because

(41:27):
I looked, and they probably won't have it next week
for Independence Day. But the fact is they've got the
transgender flag, which is what they really salute, and put
their hand over their heart too, as opposed to the
US flag. If you want to call it the Lexington Hotel,
it's two one, two seven five five forty four hundred.
All right, let me get back to the phones here, Uh,

(41:49):
Russ and white Plains? How are you Russ?

Speaker 10 (41:52):
I'm flying rough tanks, Rob. Don't you think a twenty
two percent turnout is pretty big on a boiling hot
day in New York City?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Right?

Speaker 6 (41:58):
That was a pretty good turnout.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Yeah, that's why I said it's it's about what it
should be. I mean primary, is there anywhere Fifteen to
twenty five percent is more of the you know, twenty
five to thirty is enormous. Twenty two percent is about right.
So it wasn't really a low turnout. It was low
in the fact that Cuomo didn't get his voters out.
Why because Cuomo was doing you know, network television, and

(42:24):
Cuomo was doing bad videos and Cuomo never got the
troops out to go door to door because nobody wanted
to work for Andrew Cuomo. They hated him. They had
to do it because the unions told them to do it.
But ma'am Dommi's people, I mean, they'll like run through
in front of trains to go vote for this guy.
And that's what you need. One hundred three to two

(42:47):
one zero seven ten. Let me go to Tom and
yonkers Hi, Tom.

Speaker 6 (42:51):
Hi rob Okay Cuomo because he didn't go on the attack.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Well that's part of it.

Speaker 10 (42:58):
Can go on the attack tech he doesn't want to
be a tech bank.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
No, Well that's it. He didn't really nobody knew what
the hell Cuomo stood for. He couldn't defend his record
because his record caused all these problems in New York City.
And then he never apologized, and he had the whole
sexual harassment stuff hanging there, and he never explained why
he wanted to be the mayor, and so it was
so lacklustered. There was no fire in his eyes. He

(43:24):
just thought, put a lot of money on TV and
let the unions do what they do, and he'll coast
a victory. Will in Long Island, Will where on Long Islandary?

Speaker 10 (43:36):
And the numbers you're talking about, don't you think we
have a shot at two million voters in this much
high I don't think there's a real analog. You can't
call the Dablasio Joe Loda election something there'll be a
lot more intensity around this.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
There will be.

Speaker 10 (43:52):
But this is the this is the capital, this is
the center of American capitalism, and we're having a socialist,
not a progressive and about socialist. Don't you think we
can get to two million votes?

Speaker 8 (44:05):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
No, no, no, it's never even come close the most
there have been. I'm just going through these again. Let's see,
uh do as I said, one point one million votes,
that's the average since two thousand and one, one point
one total votes, one point one million total, So to
double that is never happening. It's just never happening. Maybe

(44:29):
you can squeeze it up to one point three to
one point four maybe, but still, man DOMI is going
to get a certain amount of votes from Democrats, and
the others are gonna split it up unless they coalesce
around one person. And I just it hasn't happened. I
just don't see it yet. Sondra has been waiting very patiently,
along with some others. Hi Sondra in New Jersey.

Speaker 9 (44:51):
Oh, Hi, Lob. I wanted to say two things. I
started to familiarize myself with his wife, and I have
a feeling she's gonna sub what he's getting now because
she's pro Palestinian. She seems to be very chrismatic, so
that's a concern there. But I wanted to year an
incident that happened this week to a friend of mine

(45:13):
who lives in a high rise apartment in Manhattan. It
was really kind of disturbing. Two staff members from Manzami
came in with a list of all the Jewish names
of the people from that building and they went in
with the authorities, saying to the concierge, we are authorized

(45:33):
to go in and put our flyers under all these
people's doors. And guess what they did it They got
in and you're not allowed to do that. That's against
the law. And it's concerning that they got all these
names of the Jewish people. That's disgusting, and it's just there,
the whole thing. And they did what they had to do,

(45:55):
so they took my friends, so they took they found
the pictures of the two people were there that did this.
I mean, I don't know what's going to happen, if anything,
but it's just voters should know some of the tactics
that he's using.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Well, Sondra, thank you. I mean, look, the list of
Jewish voters came from the Board of Elections. I mean
that that's that, you know, there's nothing nefarious on paper
about that. Obviously they were targeting. Probably I'd love to
know what the messaging was though. It was probably trying
to cover up all the anti Semitic remarks that this

(46:30):
guy's made and try to, you know, make him pro
Israel or pro Jewish and he's not. That's probably what
I'd love to see what he did to fool people
to vote for him, because Jewish he got I think
thirteen or forty percent of the Jewish vote. Insane. Anyway, Hey,
I'm back next Saturday at four o'clock. Every Saturday, make
sure you listen on Newsmax. I'm on from one to

(46:53):
three on Saturdays, and I'm on during the week. Follow

and the hotel brand flags on Lexington Avenue. Go to

free to leave me at your thoughts or call the
hotel and say, what the hell. I hope they get inundated.
