Speaker 1 (00:29):
An former Westchester County executive brob Astoria on seven TENAR.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's our one year anniversary here on seven ten WR
Saturdays at four o'clock, which is right now. One year.
Hard to imagine one year. It's been a great year,
and I thank you because our audience is growing and
growing and growing, and it's so good to have you
with us on this Saturday. So let's see. He's back. Yep.
(01:07):
You It's like the worst, the worst secret in politics
that Andrew Cuomo was gonna run and the Godfather. You
can't give him down. You can't give him down.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So I want to tell you something, this Eric Godams guy,
he's gotta go these other people running. Put it in
the head if you have to, because I gotta get
back in the game. Andrew's back. And you know what,
(01:45):
these New York City voters, I want to say, you
deserve him, but they they're they're just they're gonna pull
the lever for this guy. All these ladies who were
jumping up and down to in the Me Too movement,
they're gonna be right by his side.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
There can't wait to go vote for this guy. Why,
Oh he's so cute. Oh he was wonderful doing COVID
of Oh my god, this is the guy that literally
had a major role in destroying this city. It's not
all Bill Deblasio. I know that's the easy one. He's
(02:26):
the easy escapegoat. Andrew Cuomo said all this emotion. I mean,
Deblasio did an amazing job of destroying New York City,
no question. Andrew Cuomo gave us everything. He hopes you
forget the no cash bell. Whose signature is on that bill,
(02:48):
it's his, because he's hoping you've got amnesia. He's hoping
you think things are so bad that you'll forget that.
He's the culprit. He's the guy that lit them, that
put this city on fire. It was him. And you
know what, don't listen to me, listen to his own
words on no cash bail. Yeah, okay, so he did.
(03:10):
He did, He signed the legislation, He strong armed the legislature,
which they didn't need the strong armument anyway. They were
probably leading on this whole issue because it was the
far left radicals, but he didn't have the you know
whats to stand up to them because he was concerned
about running for reelection. So he passes no cash bail,
(03:32):
knowing the harm it was going to do didn't matter.
It was all about Andrew Cuomo. And so when this
city started dealing with the ever increasing crime, with the
turnstile justice system, with judges, even those who wanted to
keep somebody in prison on bail, they couldn't for most offense,
(03:55):
a lot of offenses. Where do you think this came from?
It was the governor. It was Andrew Cuomo. And that's
just the beginning. Let's go back to COVID, where he's
gonna have everybody again hoodwinked, or at least hoping there's
amnesia that you think he did everything right with COVID
(04:17):
because Orange Man who's back. They're both back, and this
is how he's going to play this. He's going to
play it where he's going to try to make you
forget about all of his crimes, crimes like legitimate crimes,
but all of his political crimes, to all the screwed
up government he gave us, because he's going to use
(04:37):
Donald Trump as the next foil perfect for him. He
couldn't have a better guy in office right now. That's
how he soared to his heights in COVID played off
of Donald Trump. Now you got Eric Adams, who is
severely weakened. But at least Eric Adams is trying trying
to take a path that would save this city at
(05:01):
least tough en up on crime and immigration too, of
the biggest issues. But because he has the audacity to
work with the Trump administration, as Kathy Hokeel just found out,
probably a good idea to work with the president. But
Andrew Cuomo has a foil again, and it's gonna make
(05:22):
all of the studods, all of these people in New
York City who vote Democrat all the time, and even
the ones who should be able to see through the fog,
but their hatred for Trump, their TDS is gonna come
out again and it's going to obscure everything about Cuomo
that they disliked all the reasons why he stepped down,
(05:45):
all the reasons why they're complaining about life in New
York City. Now it's gonna go away ooop gone. Why
because he's gonna dangle Donald Trump and everyone's gonna look
it over there. I will stick up today present. That's
what he's gonna say. Eric Adams, here, he's just doing
(06:07):
the bidding of Donald Trump, and they're all gonna yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's what's gonna happen. This is so easy to write out.
And look, Andrew Cuomo is not a dumb guy. He's cunning.
He's very smart politically. He knows that he can become
the chameleon that he needs to be in any way
to fit the time that he's running, to fit the
(06:29):
circumstances of now. When I first got elected in two
thousand and nine in Westchester, Barack Obama had been elected
the year before, the Tea Party movie was, movement was
boiling up, and I was hammering home taxes as the
biggest issue in Westchester. Now, you gotta understand, Westchester is
(06:54):
three to one Democrat. So here I am hammering home
taxes against an incumbent who outspent me like six to
one with a three to one advantage in enrollment, and
I won on that message and it wasn't even close.
And in Long Island in Nassau County at Mangano again
(07:15):
he pulled a surprise. Same year he beat Tom Swase.
Nobody thought Tom Swazi or the guy I ran against
Andy Spano, neither one of them could lose. But there
was a revolt happening. They didn't see it, and so
Cuomo did an about face. And when he ran in
(07:36):
twenty ten, he ran as a fiscal conservative, when the
hell has Andrew Cromo ever been fiscally conservative. But that's
how he ran. He ran because he saw what happened
in Westchester with me and what happened in Nassau with Mangano.
He goes, oh, wait a minute, something is going on here.
So that's how he ran. That's how he got elected,
(07:57):
running towards the middle when he was never in the middle.
And now he's doing the same thing. You know, then
he you know, look through the years, he slid all
the way to the left. Then Trump gets in, he
leads the resistance because he wants to run for president.
Then COVID happens. He's the counterweight to Trump doing his
you know, one hour charts and going on with his
(08:17):
brother and you know, just giving us nonsense after nonsense,
and all of these progressive New York liberals with their
mouth open, taking it, swallowing it whole. Remember they had
all those like wine parties, zoom parties to watch Andrew
Cuomo Gaga, let's let's have a bottle of wine and
(08:37):
just watch him. I feel I feel so calm and
safe when he's talking to me about COVID, even though
he just sent Grandma to die. But it's still it
makes me feel nice. And then the whole COVID thing,
I mean, anyone with half a brain, because they were
told this is the population, the elderly population is the
(09:01):
most susceptible to COVID. It didn't take long for the
science and the data and the trends to show us
early on that if you were fairly healthy and under
the age of sixty were you were pretty good. You
were fine, especially kids, no reason schools should have been closed.
(09:25):
Cuomo ditched all that. He went with the whole far
left thing of as long as Trump is this way,
I'm that way. And they were told, if you order
senior citizens elderly population with low immunity. This is the
(09:45):
most lethal to them. It was about a seven percent
chance that they could die if they got COVID. That's high.
If you put them in a nursing home that is
completely ill equipped and take them out of a hospital
which is equipped, you are likely putting them in a
very high risk category to die. And the nursing homes went,
(10:08):
you know, apoplectic, because they told them, it's like it's
dry wood and you're lighting the match. And he did it,
and we know the consequences. And then after all this stuff,
even after the ship was sent by the federal government
by Trump, he didn't use one room on that ship.
(10:32):
Why because Donald Trump sent the ship. He could care
less about killing New Yorkers as long as it didn't
get in his way. As long as he benefited from this,
as long as he had the Donald Trump orange Man
bad foil, he could be the number one Democrat in
the country. That was his goal then, and he is.
(10:53):
His whole goal was to run for president. Period. But
you know, when you have no more moral gravity, when
you have no center and you go all over the place,
eventually it's going to come back to get you. Because
during the whole me too movement when all.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Women must be believed, Brett cavanor the Donald Trump bed you.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Know, oh oh oh oh, isn't that interesting. Here's some
of the comments that Andrew Cuomo said about the me
too movement. This is Andrew Clmo's own words. How is
he going to defend this?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
To cheapen or ridicule the pain a woman suffers from
a sexual attack? Uh is disgusting, sexist and disgusting. H
To second guess how a woman should have acted after
(11:58):
a sexual attack is sexist and disgusting. I mean, it's
just insensitive. You don't understand the pain. You don't understand
how the system tortures a person who wants to come forward.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Okay, all right, blah blah blah. He had his fingers
crossed the entire time he was talking. So what happens
then when eleven women claim sexual harassment against him? And
you could say what you want about the ag Letitia James,
who will save her for another day and there's no
love loss between her and Cuomo? But her investigation found
(12:36):
again who knows if it's political or not, but that
all women, the eleven women, they were credible and that
they unfortunately had to deal with Cuomo's unwelcome and quote
non consensual touching, quote suggestive comments of sexual nature, and
a hostile work environment for women. This is a guy
(13:00):
who pretended he's going to have the strongest sexual harassment
policy in the nation. That's he ran an add on
that in the twenty eighteen campaign against Mark Malin Arrow.
So this is a guy who is hoping and expecting
that you forget all of this, or that he could
blame Adams for a partnership with Trump, which persona no grada.
(13:25):
You cannot, no matter how it benefits us, you cannot
have any relationship whatsoever with Donald Trump. That's his whole campaign.
You watch, That's going to be his whole campaign. So
with all this rank choice voting nonsense, here's what's going
to happen. Cuomo announced today he's running for mayor. Okay,
(13:46):
you know, he's got to get back in the game.
He can't stay on the sidelines. My favorite this week,
by the way, was when his folks said, we're not sure.
You know, look, the governor Cuomo is going to decide
whether or not he's gonna run for mayor. He's gonna
sit down with his with his daughters and see if
(14:08):
if they are okay with it. Yeah, okay, I hate
to say this, but he would run his daughters over
with a bus if they got in his way of
running and winning to get back into public office, because
in his head he still thinks he can be president.
And if he wins this and becomes mayor, he's back
(14:28):
in the game. That'll be interesting dynamics, by the way,
because Kathy Hochel can bigfoot him if she chooses as governor,
because the mayor, as he finds out, will not have
as much power, just like he was given it to
build a Blasio all the time, all the time. Now,
Cuomo's different. Cuomo has political instincts. He has muscle, he
(14:51):
knows how to use it. And you know, I've actually
said some things about him that you know, may shock you.
I said, I agreed with him and some of the
things he did, like the new tappan Zee Bridge. I
gave him credit for finally getting it across. I think
as an executive right, wrong or indifferent, he was able
(15:11):
to move the legislature. I mean he pulled them by
the neck in the direction he wanted. That's how you
have to be as an executive. Otherwise, you got this
moron in Albany right now. She is so ineffective, but
he bent them to his will. It's going to be
really interesting because Cuomo, though trying to get back in
(15:34):
the game, still has to win this race. And he's
made a calculated decision that he can beat Eric Adams.
And there are so many on the left right now
that they're going to divvy up all the votes and
he'll come out ahead even if it's only thirty thirty
five percent of the electorate, and then it'll get him
(15:56):
to over the fifty when they do the rank choice voting.
So who's running right now? And I'm gonna take your
calls in a little bit. One eight hundred three to
two one zero seven ten, one eight hundred three to two,
one zero seven ten. But you got I mean, honestly,
if it were I mean, if I were in the city,
I would vote for Mayor Adams. I would because at
(16:18):
least he's the only one willing at this point. Now
he's screwed up plenty. Okay, we shouldn't necessarily be in
this situation on some of this stuff, but at least
he has tried he's he has a nut job of
a council and at least he's trying and to say,
I'm gonna work with the president. I don't care what
party he is because he can help New York City.
(16:38):
Damn right, that's what the governor and the mayor should
be doing with the president of the United States. I
don't care what party they're from. Be careful what you
wish for. You're gonna wish build de Blasio was back.
If one of these leftists gets elected, it is a
really scary group. So put Mayor Adams on the side
for a second. You got Brad Lander, all right, Ed Lander,
(17:00):
who is like this white Dowie liberal progressive, just whiney.
He would be atrocious, atrocious from Park Slope, and I
you know he's trying to position himself. God bless him.
You got Jessica Ramos, a state senator. Now we're getting
(17:23):
lefter and left and lefter as I go, okay, Lander
is you thought you couldn't get any further left? Plenty?
Then you got let's see who else is in this field,
Zelner Meri another state senator. He's from Brooklyn. But I'll
tell you the guy you gotta worry about. And he's
he's getting traction, He's raising a lot of money. He
(17:45):
is very savvy on social media. Zorn Mumdani. He's an
assembly member from Queen's. This guy is an outright anti
Semite pro Palestini. He's a socialist. He admits he's a
socialist democrat basically hates Jews. And this guy is raising
(18:06):
a ton of money. He's the darling of the left
right now. Now, Cuomo says, I mean, if I'm Cuomo, like,
this is great. This is the guy I want to
run against, because Cuomo's gonna look normal. And Cuomo's got
name high ID, you know, name recognition. But I'm gonna
caution you for a second. You go back to Schneiderman
who tried to make a comeback and he had high
(18:29):
name ID, and then eventually the name ID was a
reminder of whoa This guy is like a freak. I
don't want this guy back and he lost. Anthony Wiener
is going to find that out probably too. Was he's
trying to come back. You got Scott Stringer another one.
I mean, these guys are so bad, they're like stumbling
(18:50):
over each other and they're going to keep going left
and left and left, and it's it's gonna get worse
and more frightening. So Cuomo is going to look like
the adult in the room.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
He is.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
That's exactly what he is backing on banking one two,
one zero seven ten because I know the voters in
this city are stupid enough to vote for Andrew Cuomo again, guaranteed. Hey, Bruce,

right about Cuomo. Bring it up every week until election
day in New York. People have to be reminded about
the choice that they're making. And what I love this,
(22:53):
you know about these Democrats, so all the morality that
they love to play. You know, Trump is the Trump
is that bab lad? Really? So if your guy does it,
it's okay. We are all's forgiven. Then I guess all
women must not be believed. It's that's why it's all
built on sand. It's just I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
It is.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Two one zero seven ten on this first anniversary of
the Rob Astorino Show on seven to ten w R.
All right, let's go to the phone, Jelina. We got
Mario in Manhassan, Hey, Mario, Rob.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
The Democrats have no morality that baby butchering and cop
killing coddlers. It's a disgrace. And always refer to uh
Deblasio as Warren Wilhelm. That's his birthname. He doesn't deserve
an Italian name. And the bottom line is, let's support
poser war doctor.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
All right, Nate in the Bronx, Hi, Nate, how.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Are you.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (23:53):
Fairly well? I can't say the same thing for our
Justice Department and under the bidenminministration. So now that we
have a new director, Cash Bettel, and we have a
new administration in office, I think that this is an
opportune moment to have a full accounting the FBI, not
just simply the FBI, but all the federal law enforcement
(24:15):
agencies that are responsible for spying on Americans because of
their political beliefs, harassing them and trapping them, killing them.
The man, I'm not going to call him a man.
He's a coward for killing Ashley Babbit. That bum is
still collecting his free medical, his free dental, his free tension,
all the taxpayers expense, even down of promotion. He should
(24:37):
be his asked to be in prisoned on a murder indictment,
and again you know, he's free as a bird. Michael
Byrd is his name. He murdered Ashley Babbitt, and he
should be indicted and prosecuted. And that goes from any
of the state and federal state and local agencies that
working conjunction with federal agencies to violate people's civil rights
(24:57):
and civil liberties. And I'll give you a clear cut
example of that. Are you familiar to the case of
Gina Aversano.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
That's a V. E. R. S an O.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
All right, she's a New York woman.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Hurry, I want to get some stuff too, people.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Are you know, okay, sure, sure. She's approximately fifty years old.
She put up some political stickers in her neighborhood in
Staten Island where she lives. She's a working class girl,
not a wealthy person. She's not some rich football player
from the NFL gonna buy away out out of her
criminal problems. But they slapped her with two felony charges,
and the now she has a felony record, and she
(25:32):
was put on probation again for something that was clearly political.
The NYPD was harassing this woman for months on end
before they even arrested her. And again she was slapped
with two fellas. She doesn't have a criminal record and
didn't have as so much as a parking ticket on
her record before the two felony charges, and now she's
a convicted fellow at the age of fifty and then again,
(25:54):
this is happening every single day on a daily basis
in our major metropolitan areas under Democrat administrations.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
And again, you know, it's something that needs to be
investigated and there needs to be a full commission to
hold account of police corrupt police officials. They're like gangsters
on public assistance.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
All right, Nate, thanks for the call. One hundred three
two one zero seven ten. If you're just tuning in,
the worst kept secret is now true. Andrew Cuomo is
running for mayorly in New York. YEP, Andrew Cuomo running
(26:33):
for mayor. Let's go back to the phones. One hundred
and three to two, one zero seven ten. Brian in
Croton on Hudson in Westchester.
Speaker 11 (26:41):
Hey, Brian, congratulations, Rob. You were rocking the house for
the past year. But I want to remind everybody that
that no jail, no bail thing. Speaker of Assembly and
the Senate leader cousins were the ones who put it
on Cuomo's desk, and they have to They get no
heat in talk radio or anywhere in the media, and
(27:05):
they're the ones who put it on there. He well,
he ran like ten years ago. He never talked about
it when the hard heart left took over the state legislature.
He had a bow to them or they get rid
of them. And it's disgusting your Democrats. This is New
York City. Have your choice between Cuomo or Adams or
any other one of these. They were all left wing lunatics.
Anybody trying to protect Adams now is exposing themselves as
(27:29):
just a political hack. Trump has a record of Look
at Mayor Kilpatrick of Detroit. He partnered this guy. Look
at this guy's record. He was in jail. You should
still be in jail, but part with Trump. Pardon them so.
But the thing is, what are they waiting for for
the raids in New York City? Are they waiting for
after the primary to make Adams look good?
Speaker 10 (27:48):
What are they doing?
Speaker 11 (27:48):
This is ridiculous. The illegals are in this country. They're
not doing anything about it. In the New York City,
the Rays have slowed down. It looked like they came
on as gang busses in the beginning to get the
vis for the media. They're really slowed down with the deportations.
There are a lot of bad people, and they're also
tax chiefs too, and welfare scam is they're only just violent.
(28:09):
Bet scam is on our it's system and if they
here to stay. I hate to tell the people that
because nobody out there is really going to do anything
about it. It's all a big show, you know. Listen,
Cousins is the Senate leader in the New York State
and Hasty. These are the left, hard left lunatics, never
get no heat. So but we know that why are
(28:30):
they being protected? And we know the answer to that
is because they're really just they're not really interested in
really doing anything. New York City, New York State has
been destroyed because of the last year of left wing politics.
That's what it is, not the basis, Yes, the Blasio,
He's just a symptom of left wing politics.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Right, thanks for the call, made sense. I mean, you know,
good stuff. One in hundred three to two one zero
seven ten. One in hundred and three two one zero
seven ten. Dona Andrew is back.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
He's back.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
He's back, and he scares the hell out of a
lot of people. He does. He scares the hell out
of the business community. I mean, he can be a thug,
that's how he rules. He rules with fear. I had
a huge dust up with him I still remember this.
I was county executive. He was trying to get through
the Tappanzee Bridge reconstruction, which of course became the Cuomo Bridge.
(29:27):
But I was on a committee the New York State
I was it the Nimtech New York Metropolitan Transportation Council,
by virtue of being County executive, and it needed the
unanimous approval to get federal funding for the bridge. And
I remember we were working on getting a mass transit
(29:50):
component designed into this new bridge, so Rockland commuters in
the northern Hudson Valley would have a way to come
across and then hop on to Metro North and go
straight down, and not necessarily that it had to have
the trains on it when it opened, but that it
had to be designed to at least have mass transit.
(30:11):
And you know, he was balking, and then he agreed,
but he wouldn't put it in writing, and so finally said,
I am not going to vote for this. I am
going to vote no, which would kill the whole thing
unless you agree to this. Well, oh, he called me
up one day. I still remember. I was in the city.
We were in the car, and the phone rings and
(30:34):
I pick it up. I'm like, yes, the governor would
like to speak with you. So I'm like all right.
So he gets on there and we start having a
nice conversation. You know, Rob, look, we could both be
winners here. This is a big project. You're the county executive.
It's going to really benefit Westchester and this and that,
(30:55):
and then he transitions to bad Andrew and it was
if you don't efin vote for this at that meeting,
I'm gonna e f and destroy you, and going on
and on and on. And I sat there and I
said when he was finished, I said, are you done.
(31:16):
I said, okay, so let me just reiterate I'm voting no.
Unless you do what you're supposed to do and what
you said you do, talk to you later.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
And I hung up.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
And he's not used to that. And he did have
to come out and make a statement on the record
that that bridge was going to be designed at least
to have mass transit. But that's how he operates, and
that's exactly what you know. He would pull that on
the business community, he would pull that on donors, anyone.
(31:47):
He would pull that on legislators, anyone that got in
his way. That's how he would react, and too many
of them pooped in their pants. Me. I you know,
I always learned a long time ago, you punch a
bully right in the face and they won't bother you
on the playground. So I mean when I ran against
them in fourteen, I could care less went right after him.
(32:09):
But look, he's I think will be the next mayor.
Not saying I think that should happen, but just looking
at New York City, it's gonna be hard to beat him.
Let me go back to the phones. Here, we got
Kevin in Connecticut. Hi, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 12 (32:28):
Can you hear me? My point is number one, the
waste floud an abuse has been in both the House
and the Senate, and they put mirrors in those walls,
they'd be able to see where all the waste forloard
abuse actually comes from. And number two, I think that
the Senate and the Congress who passed the Obama pare
(32:50):
should be responsible and be on Obamacare and all their
staff and not charge America for the fancy healthcare that
they have now.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
So I go say, all right, thanks for your call, Kevin.
Let's go to Maria in Tarrytown. You're on seven to
ten w r hi.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Ron, Happy anniversary. I was your first caller when you started.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Look at that, all right, you're in the history books.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
So Andrew Cuomo is a diversion. In my book, he's
a husband. It's Adrian Adams who's the real threat. She
is bulletproof. She's a black woman, has the black church vote,
she's head of city council. She's gonna vote for cash lists,
bail and defund the police. And like you said before,
(33:37):
New Yorkers are stupid enough to vote for her too.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
But here's the thing, Maria, I think Adrian she does
not have the power that people think she has as
a city council president.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
And she is.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
She's definitely a leftist, there's no question. But she's in
a group with five or six other leftists and they're
all gonna be splitting up the vote. They're all gonna
try to go further and further and get more and
more outrageous to try to get enough of that vote,
where on the other side you've got basically Mayor Adams
and Cuomo, who's gonna try to play the middle. And
(34:16):
as I said, he's going to sit there and he's
gonna say I'm gonna clean up all this mess. There's
only one person that could fix what's going on here,
and that's gonna be me, even though he lit the fire.
But he wants to be the fireman that comes and
be and as the hero, even though he's the arsonist.
(34:36):
So he's gonna he He just has to maintain enough,
enough and enough, and with rank choice voting, he'll get
over fifty percent at some point. That's probably how it's
gonna work out. Let's go to Sondra in New Jersey.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
Hi, I Soandra, congratulations Rob on a whole year of
successful hosting a wonderful show.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (35:00):
I wanted to talk about Chromo, and then I had
a question if I have time as far as Cromo goes.
First of all, we all know all the covitations that died,
and we have to remember the underreporting of the nursing
home deaths. We also have to remember how when COVID
came about, his family and his closest associates were the
(35:21):
only people that were able to get the COVID testing.
Nobody else was able to get it. We can't forget
Bailly form. He so much so supported that and the
other thing that I wanted to mention, I don't know
if you know about this on the Moorland Commission that
I believe he established in twenty thirteen, and a year
later twenty fourteen, he abruptly ended it. And then I
(35:44):
think it's because they were starting to question things that
he was doing. So that's something you might want to
look into. The Moorland, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I know the Moraling commissioned very well because when the
breadcrumbs started leading to his office, that's exactly you're right,
that's exactly when he shut them down. He used the
moraland Commission to go after his enemies. But when they
looked like, wait a minute, but we just found something,
you did and your folks did get out of here
and shut him off.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
So well.
Speaker 13 (36:15):
So John, I'm so glad you know so much.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
I love you.
Speaker 13 (36:18):
So my concern is this, I kind of feel like
you do about Eric Adams, Like even Ludlow said the
same things. He's gone along with all the Trump administration policies,
which is great, but we can't forget Curtis Sleewerk. I
feel that we should support him too, and maybe even
(36:39):
more because Fleewan never stole a penny in his life
and we have to give him a chance, and we
may end up becoming so delighted with this wonderful mayor
we should give him a chance. So my concern is
if you vote for Eric Adams, who may very well
lose anyway, either somehow put the votes towards Sleewer instead,
or somehow maybe they can work at something so the
(37:02):
votes aren't wasted. If you vote for this one, then
that one's going to lose. If you vote for that one,
this one's going to lose. So that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
No, I appreciate the call, Sondra. Look I've known Curtis forever.
We used to work together a long long time ago,
back in two thousand and one, and I've known him
a very long time. Look, any Republican running is going
to have a very difficult time, more so now that
Donald Trump is in office because of the You know,
(37:30):
their heads are snapping right now in the city, these voters,
and we're just at the beginning. So by come November,
they're going to be foaming at the mouth and they
won't hear anything that makes any sense other than I
hate Donald Trump. So if you hate Donald Trump, I'll
vote for you. That's just unfortunate. But that's what's going
to happen. That's just the way it is. I hope
(37:53):
I'm wrong, and I would love, you know, Curtis or
any Republican to get elected. I would take Mayor Adams
as I said I would, I would take him if
if it can't be a Republican. I hope he gets
re elected because I think he's on the right path
and given a second term, he would probably give the
finger to all these leftists who have gone after him,
and he truly would work with Trump and anyone to
(38:16):
clean up this mess. All right, if you're going to
the airport, you gotta go Liros point to point, because
they are really good at what they do. Nice clean car,
nice normal person shows up behind the wheel, dressed.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Good appearance, clean smells nice. If you know what I'm
talking about. Some of these ubers that show up, my god,
I don't even know how they pass their inspection their vehicle,
let alone some of the body order that some of
these people have. But honestly, I mean, you could take
a rod Chare, you could call a taxi. That's fine,
(38:57):
I guess, but I'd rather have Liro's point to point
knowing they're gonna pull up on time, knowing they're going
to be professional and get you to where you got
to go safely. Every one of their chauffeurs their screen,
they have background checks, they're impeccable, and so two of
their vehicles. So if you're going to the airport, you
want to sedan or a night out in the town,
(39:19):
a wedding, all that good stuff. Going into the city.
I don't know if they have bulletproof buses. I have
to ask them that if you're heading into the city.
But anyway, Leros they will take you there. Call one
hundred and eighty two Leros or go lerostg dot com.
That's l E r O s TG dot com. Leros

On seven to ten.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Woor hey, make sure you follow me on all social
media Facebook, x, Insta, all those at Rob Astar Reno,
and of course you could always listen to us live
on the radio or on seven to ten wor dot
com or the iheartapp, So three good ways to listen
(40:30):
in And if you miss this show or you want
to go back and listen to other shows that we
did over the last year, then just go to of
course the podcast and you can get that online or
on the app.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
You can forward that to friends. And that's how we
built up an audience here. That's how we're doing it.
And I appreciate it because you're telling others you don't
have to listen to the other station at four o'clock.
You can listen here, and I'm glad you are. Larry Mente,
who was in his little promo, said he's going to
be talking, of course about Cuomo on Monday, so make
(41:04):
sure you listen to Menti in the morning six a
to ten a Monday through Friday. Larry does a good job,
all right, you know, does a good job. Toyota City
in Mamarnick, they are the best of the best. We
had two Toyotas, two highlanders, and those things you can't
kill them. You can, like Andrew Cuomo, you cannot kill them.
(41:26):
They're great. Well, Toyota's are great, not Cuomo. Massive inventory,
all the models and trims in stock. They've got the
least rates that are best for you. Good financing offers,
one hundred percent transparent in their pricing, no hidden fees.
So if you want a new Toyota, then I suggest
(41:49):
you go to Toyota City in Mamarnick or Toyota CITYNY
dot com and go to their website, look up everything
that they got available, and if you want to do
a test drive, then give him a buzz and show up.
Say hi, we're part of the Toyota City Integrity Automotive
Group family because we got our vehicle from them. So
(42:11):
make sure you say hello to the folks at Toyota
City in Mamarnick. All right, let me sneak in another
call or so. And then I got to I got
something that I've been waiting to say for weeks on shopwrite.
When I went there, Bruce puts his thumbs up because
we keep running out of time. Let's see, Andrew, how
are you.
Speaker 10 (42:33):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (42:34):
I'm doing well.
Speaker 11 (42:35):
I just want to say.
Speaker 10 (42:36):
With Zelensky, I would say not even the sheets. We
could take back all the equipment. We gave and the
money and okay, we'll give you the sheets. But for
him to disrespect and look a gift horse in the
mouth was outrageous and his country. Trump was right, it
wouldn't be It wouldn't survive without us and all the
(42:58):
money and the weapon that we gave him. So it
was shocking, and it was shocking he wouldn't agree to
the mineral agreement because that would be like a security
agreement because they'd be less likely to mess with us.
With US being there, Russia would be less likely to
be aggressive. So the whole thing was stunning. But lastly
I loved it because Trump was given a message not
(43:21):
just to Zinski, but to all these nations in Canada,
NATO nations, you have to pay what you agreed on.
You have to have your own military, not Canadian Marine.
So don't think that you could just have your social
welfare programs, think you're better than us, and then try
to use our military.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
No, you have to.
Speaker 10 (43:41):
It has to be more equitable. Just when I say
I loved it, I thought.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
It was great Andrews moment. It was an amazing moment
and thanks for the call. As always, this was I mean,
if you haven't seen this video in its entirety. Especially
don't take a one second, ten second, twenty second clip
from CNN. No, you got to watch the whole exchange.
This was the most fascinating thing I have seen in
(44:05):
government in a long time. The Zelenski Trump jd Vance
meeting in the Oval Office yesterday where it was supposed
to be a signing of an agreement. They had worked
out the parameters and Zelensky was coming to sign it.
They were gonna have lunch together, they were gonna have
a press conference, a signing ceremony, and it all went
(44:27):
to hell, and it was amazing, And you know, the
little things do matter. So I've always said this about Zelenski.
I mean, when you go back, you know, to just Ukraine,
the politics of Ukraine, they have been corrupt forever, ever, forever.
And even he can't account for billions and billions of
(44:47):
dollars that the US sent over there over the last
three years. They can't account for it. So somebody has
taken off the top. This money's going all over the place.
But look, we want Ukraine to win, period. Russia isn't
the aggressor. Russia is not a good actor. They're a
bad actor. They are an enemy, and nobody should be
(45:11):
rooting for Russia. But this really isn't our fight. This
is Europe's fight, and Europe is kind of I don't
want to say, nowhere to be found. But why are
we giving as much money as all the European nations combined?
So Trump is questioning everything, as we should, because who
thinks things have been going well? They're not. America has
(45:32):
been the doormat and Biden just gave them money and
money and money, no accountability. What happens. They're just churning
out more and more war. And what's happening. Ukraine is
losing men left and they're running out of men. This
is a This is a this is a game that
Russia will win. This is a long game and they're
(45:53):
playing it and Russia will win this. So Trump is saying, okay, look,
we got to stop this because we don't want to
send our troops. Do you want do you want our soldiers?
Do you want our men and women in uniform to
go over there to fight this war? Hell no, I don't,
and I don't think America does. But are we gonna
just keep writing checks? We better not, especially since we're
(46:14):
cutting stuff at home, as we should because we're a
massive deficit and debt. So Trump says, okay, look, you
got real rare earth minerals that we need, that the
West needs. We will sign a deal for you. This
will be paying back some of the money that you
that we gave you. But now if we sign this,
(46:36):
we the United States will have a presence in Ukraine.
And don't you think that's gonna be a deterrent to
Russia and bad actors. Do you think Russia is gonna
storm right through where American businesses are, Americans are situated. No,
because Putin is not stupid enough to want World War three.
(46:59):
He's not. If he could have leveled Kiev, he could
have leveled Ukraine by now, he didn't. He didn't use
all this stuff in his arsenal. They're playing a grinded
out war. Nobody wants that this's got to come to
an end, and it won't. It'll go on and on
and on and on and on with our money. But
I sure as hell don't want our blood in that war.
(47:20):
And Trump is trying to stop it, and you know,
just diplomatically, what in God's name was Zelensky doing there
in many ways try to make Trump and Vance look
really bad in their own office. And I'm glad Trump
pushed back and said, you know, I'm trying to get
(47:42):
to a win here and you're not letting us. And
the fact that Zelenski was barking back at these guys
and called the Vice President j D. You don't do that.
You just don't. I don't care how well your relationship is,
you don't do that. When Mayor Adams was here, I
(48:02):
called him Mayor on the phone. I could call him Eric.
I won't do it in public, but this has got
to stop. And Zelensky not wearing a suit when he
was requested to wear a suit to the Oval office
and he told them no, all right, okay, oh my god,
I got one minute left, all right, So here's my shop, right?
Speaker 10 (48:23):
So I was.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
I was at shop right a couple weeks ago, and
I got some stuff. And you know, eggs are like
forty eight dollars now, I get whatever. I had like
six things in there, and it came to like seventy dollars. Honestly,
it was just crazy. And I put my money out
and then they said you want a bag, and I said, yeah,
(48:46):
I do need a bed, and they charged me five
cents for a bag. Now, I just spent sixty dollars
on like four things, and they charge five cents for
a bag that annoyed me more than anything that annoys
me more than twelve dollars for a dozen eggs. To
pay for a freakin' bag for five cents, I don't
(49:06):
have time for the rest of the story. I got
it out of here. We're starting your number two. Thank
you for being with me. I'm back here next Saturday.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's our one year anniversary here on seven ten WR
Saturdays at four o'clock, which is right now. One year.
Hard to imagine one year. It's been a great year,
and I thank you because our audience is growing and
growing and growing, and it's so good to have you
with us on this Saturday. So let's see. He's back. Yep.
(01:07):
You It's like the worst, the worst secret in politics
that Andrew Cuomo was gonna run and the Godfather. You
can't give him down. You can't give him down.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So I want to tell you something, this Eric Godams guy,
he's gotta go these other people running. Put it in
the head if you have to, because I gotta get
back in the game. Andrew's back. And you know what,
(01:45):
these New York City voters, I want to say, you
deserve him, but they they're they're just they're gonna pull
the lever for this guy. All these ladies who were
jumping up and down to in the Me Too movement,
they're gonna be right by his side.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
There can't wait to go vote for this guy. Why,
Oh he's so cute. Oh he was wonderful doing COVID
of Oh my god, this is the guy that literally
had a major role in destroying this city. It's not
all Bill Deblasio. I know that's the easy one. He's
(02:26):
the easy escapegoat. Andrew Cuomo said all this emotion. I mean,
Deblasio did an amazing job of destroying New York City,
no question. Andrew Cuomo gave us everything. He hopes you
forget the no cash bell. Whose signature is on that bill,
(02:48):
it's his, because he's hoping you've got amnesia. He's hoping
you think things are so bad that you'll forget that.
He's the culprit. He's the guy that lit them, that
put this city on fire. It was him. And you
know what, don't listen to me, listen to his own
words on no cash bail. Yeah, okay, so he did.
(03:10):
He did, He signed the legislation, He strong armed the legislature,
which they didn't need the strong armument anyway. They were
probably leading on this whole issue because it was the
far left radicals, but he didn't have the you know
whats to stand up to them because he was concerned
about running for reelection. So he passes no cash bail,
(03:32):
knowing the harm it was going to do didn't matter.
It was all about Andrew Cuomo. And so when this
city started dealing with the ever increasing crime, with the
turnstile justice system, with judges, even those who wanted to
keep somebody in prison on bail, they couldn't for most offense,
(03:55):
a lot of offenses. Where do you think this came from?
It was the governor. It was Andrew Cuomo. And that's
just the beginning. Let's go back to COVID, where he's
gonna have everybody again hoodwinked, or at least hoping there's
amnesia that you think he did everything right with COVID
(04:17):
because Orange Man who's back. They're both back, and this
is how he's going to play this. He's going to
play it where he's going to try to make you
forget about all of his crimes, crimes like legitimate crimes,
but all of his political crimes, to all the screwed
up government he gave us, because he's going to use
(04:37):
Donald Trump as the next foil perfect for him. He
couldn't have a better guy in office right now. That's
how he soared to his heights in COVID played off
of Donald Trump. Now you got Eric Adams, who is
severely weakened. But at least Eric Adams is trying trying
to take a path that would save this city at
(05:01):
least tough en up on crime and immigration too, of
the biggest issues. But because he has the audacity to
work with the Trump administration, as Kathy Hokeel just found out,
probably a good idea to work with the president. But
Andrew Cuomo has a foil again, and it's gonna make
(05:22):
all of the studods, all of these people in New
York City who vote Democrat all the time, and even
the ones who should be able to see through the fog,
but their hatred for Trump, their TDS is gonna come
out again and it's going to obscure everything about Cuomo
that they disliked all the reasons why he stepped down,
(05:45):
all the reasons why they're complaining about life in New
York City. Now it's gonna go away ooop gone. Why
because he's gonna dangle Donald Trump and everyone's gonna look
it over there. I will stick up today present. That's
what he's gonna say. Eric Adams, here, he's just doing
(06:07):
the bidding of Donald Trump, and they're all gonna yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's what's gonna happen. This is so easy to write out.
And look, Andrew Cuomo is not a dumb guy. He's cunning.
He's very smart politically. He knows that he can become
the chameleon that he needs to be in any way
to fit the time that he's running, to fit the
(06:29):
circumstances of now. When I first got elected in two
thousand and nine in Westchester, Barack Obama had been elected
the year before, the Tea Party movie was, movement was
boiling up, and I was hammering home taxes as the
biggest issue in Westchester. Now, you gotta understand, Westchester is
(06:54):
three to one Democrat. So here I am hammering home
taxes against an incumbent who outspent me like six to
one with a three to one advantage in enrollment, and
I won on that message and it wasn't even close.
And in Long Island in Nassau County at Mangano again
(07:15):
he pulled a surprise. Same year he beat Tom Swase.
Nobody thought Tom Swazi or the guy I ran against
Andy Spano, neither one of them could lose. But there
was a revolt happening. They didn't see it, and so
Cuomo did an about face. And when he ran in
(07:36):
twenty ten, he ran as a fiscal conservative, when the
hell has Andrew Cromo ever been fiscally conservative. But that's
how he ran. He ran because he saw what happened
in Westchester with me and what happened in Nassau with Mangano.
He goes, oh, wait a minute, something is going on here.
So that's how he ran. That's how he got elected,
(07:57):
running towards the middle when he was never in the middle.
And now he's doing the same thing. You know, then
he you know, look through the years, he slid all
the way to the left. Then Trump gets in, he
leads the resistance because he wants to run for president.
Then COVID happens. He's the counterweight to Trump doing his
you know, one hour charts and going on with his
(08:17):
brother and you know, just giving us nonsense after nonsense,
and all of these progressive New York liberals with their
mouth open, taking it, swallowing it whole. Remember they had
all those like wine parties, zoom parties to watch Andrew
Cuomo Gaga, let's let's have a bottle of wine and
(08:37):
just watch him. I feel I feel so calm and
safe when he's talking to me about COVID, even though
he just sent Grandma to die. But it's still it
makes me feel nice. And then the whole COVID thing,
I mean, anyone with half a brain, because they were
told this is the population, the elderly population is the
(09:01):
most susceptible to COVID. It didn't take long for the
science and the data and the trends to show us
early on that if you were fairly healthy and under
the age of sixty were you were pretty good. You
were fine, especially kids, no reason schools should have been closed.
(09:25):
Cuomo ditched all that. He went with the whole far
left thing of as long as Trump is this way,
I'm that way. And they were told, if you order
senior citizens elderly population with low immunity. This is the
(09:45):
most lethal to them. It was about a seven percent
chance that they could die if they got COVID. That's high.
If you put them in a nursing home that is
completely ill equipped and take them out of a hospital
which is equipped, you are likely putting them in a
very high risk category to die. And the nursing homes went,
(10:08):
you know, apoplectic, because they told them, it's like it's
dry wood and you're lighting the match. And he did it,
and we know the consequences. And then after all this stuff,
even after the ship was sent by the federal government
by Trump, he didn't use one room on that ship.
(10:32):
Why because Donald Trump sent the ship. He could care
less about killing New Yorkers as long as it didn't
get in his way. As long as he benefited from this,
as long as he had the Donald Trump orange Man
bad foil, he could be the number one Democrat in
the country. That was his goal then, and he is.
(10:53):
His whole goal was to run for president. Period. But
you know, when you have no more moral gravity, when
you have no center and you go all over the place,
eventually it's going to come back to get you. Because
during the whole me too movement when all.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Women must be believed, Brett cavanor the Donald Trump bed you.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Know, oh oh oh oh, isn't that interesting. Here's some
of the comments that Andrew Cuomo said about the me
too movement. This is Andrew Clmo's own words. How is
he going to defend this?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
To cheapen or ridicule the pain a woman suffers from
a sexual attack? Uh is disgusting, sexist and disgusting. H
To second guess how a woman should have acted after
(11:58):
a sexual attack is sexist and disgusting. I mean, it's
just insensitive. You don't understand the pain. You don't understand
how the system tortures a person who wants to come forward.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Okay, all right, blah blah blah. He had his fingers
crossed the entire time he was talking. So what happens
then when eleven women claim sexual harassment against him? And
you could say what you want about the ag Letitia James,
who will save her for another day and there's no
love loss between her and Cuomo? But her investigation found
(12:36):
again who knows if it's political or not, but that
all women, the eleven women, they were credible and that
they unfortunately had to deal with Cuomo's unwelcome and quote
non consensual touching, quote suggestive comments of sexual nature, and
a hostile work environment for women. This is a guy
(13:00):
who pretended he's going to have the strongest sexual harassment
policy in the nation. That's he ran an add on
that in the twenty eighteen campaign against Mark Malin Arrow.
So this is a guy who is hoping and expecting
that you forget all of this, or that he could
blame Adams for a partnership with Trump, which persona no grada.
(13:25):
You cannot, no matter how it benefits us, you cannot
have any relationship whatsoever with Donald Trump. That's his whole campaign.
You watch, That's going to be his whole campaign. So
with all this rank choice voting nonsense, here's what's going
to happen. Cuomo announced today he's running for mayor. Okay,
(13:46):
you know, he's got to get back in the game.
He can't stay on the sidelines. My favorite this week,
by the way, was when his folks said, we're not sure.
You know, look, the governor Cuomo is going to decide
whether or not he's gonna run for mayor. He's gonna
sit down with his with his daughters and see if
(14:08):
if they are okay with it. Yeah, okay, I hate
to say this, but he would run his daughters over
with a bus if they got in his way of
running and winning to get back into public office, because
in his head he still thinks he can be president.
And if he wins this and becomes mayor, he's back
(14:28):
in the game. That'll be interesting dynamics, by the way,
because Kathy Hochel can bigfoot him if she chooses as governor,
because the mayor, as he finds out, will not have
as much power, just like he was given it to
build a Blasio all the time, all the time. Now,
Cuomo's different. Cuomo has political instincts. He has muscle, he
(14:51):
knows how to use it. And you know, I've actually
said some things about him that you know, may shock you.
I said, I agreed with him and some of the
things he did, like the new tappan Zee Bridge. I
gave him credit for finally getting it across. I think
as an executive right, wrong or indifferent, he was able
(15:11):
to move the legislature. I mean he pulled them by
the neck in the direction he wanted. That's how you
have to be as an executive. Otherwise, you got this
moron in Albany right now. She is so ineffective, but
he bent them to his will. It's going to be
really interesting because Cuomo, though trying to get back in
(15:34):
the game, still has to win this race. And he's
made a calculated decision that he can beat Eric Adams.
And there are so many on the left right now
that they're going to divvy up all the votes and
he'll come out ahead even if it's only thirty thirty
five percent of the electorate, and then it'll get him
(15:56):
to over the fifty when they do the rank choice voting.
So who's running right now? And I'm gonna take your
calls in a little bit. One eight hundred three to
two one zero seven ten, one eight hundred three to two,
one zero seven ten. But you got I mean, honestly,
if it were I mean, if I were in the city,
I would vote for Mayor Adams. I would because at
(16:18):
least he's the only one willing at this point. Now
he's screwed up plenty. Okay, we shouldn't necessarily be in
this situation on some of this stuff, but at least
he has tried he's he has a nut job of
a council and at least he's trying and to say,
I'm gonna work with the president. I don't care what
party he is because he can help New York City.
(16:38):
Damn right, that's what the governor and the mayor should
be doing with the president of the United States. I
don't care what party they're from. Be careful what you
wish for. You're gonna wish build de Blasio was back.
If one of these leftists gets elected, it is a
really scary group. So put Mayor Adams on the side
for a second. You got Brad Lander, all right, Ed Lander,
(17:00):
who is like this white Dowie liberal progressive, just whiney.
He would be atrocious, atrocious from Park Slope, and I
you know he's trying to position himself. God bless him.
You got Jessica Ramos, a state senator. Now we're getting
(17:23):
lefter and left and lefter as I go, okay, Lander
is you thought you couldn't get any further left? Plenty?
Then you got let's see who else is in this field,
Zelner Meri another state senator. He's from Brooklyn. But I'll
tell you the guy you gotta worry about. And he's
he's getting traction, He's raising a lot of money. He
(17:45):
is very savvy on social media. Zorn Mumdani. He's an
assembly member from Queen's. This guy is an outright anti
Semite pro Palestini. He's a socialist. He admits he's a
socialist democrat basically hates Jews. And this guy is raising
(18:06):
a ton of money. He's the darling of the left
right now. Now, Cuomo says, I mean, if I'm Cuomo, like,
this is great. This is the guy I want to
run against, because Cuomo's gonna look normal. And Cuomo's got
name high ID, you know, name recognition. But I'm gonna
caution you for a second. You go back to Schneiderman
who tried to make a comeback and he had high
(18:29):
name ID, and then eventually the name ID was a
reminder of whoa This guy is like a freak. I
don't want this guy back and he lost. Anthony Wiener
is going to find that out probably too. Was he's
trying to come back. You got Scott Stringer another one.
I mean, these guys are so bad, they're like stumbling
(18:50):
over each other and they're going to keep going left
and left and left, and it's it's gonna get worse
and more frightening. So Cuomo is going to look like
the adult in the room.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
He is.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
That's exactly what he is backing on banking one two,
one zero seven ten because I know the voters in
this city are stupid enough to vote for Andrew Cuomo again, guaranteed. Hey, Bruce,
you know my favorite you know my favorite advertiser right now,
at least at that's right.

And she the subject was evil one and she said,
you are so right with a lot of o's so
right about Cuomo. Bring it up every week until election
day in New York. People have to be reminded about
the choice that they're making. And what I love this,
(22:53):
you know about these Democrats, so all the morality that
they love to play. You know, Trump is the Trump
is that bab lad? Really? So if your guy does it,
it's okay. We are all's forgiven. Then I guess all
women must not be believed. It's that's why it's all
built on sand. It's just I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
It is.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Two one zero seven ten on this first anniversary of
the Rob Astorino Show on seven to ten w R.
All right, let's go to the phone, Jelina. We got
Mario in Manhassan, Hey, Mario, Rob.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
The Democrats have no morality that baby butchering and cop
killing coddlers. It's a disgrace. And always refer to uh
Deblasio as Warren Wilhelm. That's his birthname. He doesn't deserve
an Italian name. And the bottom line is, let's support
poser war doctor.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
All right, Nate in the Bronx, Hi, Nate, how.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Are you.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (23:53):
Fairly well? I can't say the same thing for our
Justice Department and under the bidenminministration. So now that we
have a new director, Cash Bettel, and we have a
new administration in office, I think that this is an
opportune moment to have a full accounting the FBI, not
just simply the FBI, but all the federal law enforcement
(24:15):
agencies that are responsible for spying on Americans because of
their political beliefs, harassing them and trapping them, killing them.
The man, I'm not going to call him a man.
He's a coward for killing Ashley Babbit. That bum is
still collecting his free medical, his free dental, his free tension,
all the taxpayers expense, even down of promotion. He should
(24:37):
be his asked to be in prisoned on a murder indictment,
and again you know, he's free as a bird. Michael
Byrd is his name. He murdered Ashley Babbitt, and he
should be indicted and prosecuted. And that goes from any
of the state and federal state and local agencies that
working conjunction with federal agencies to violate people's civil rights
(24:57):
and civil liberties. And I'll give you a clear cut
example of that. Are you familiar to the case of
Gina Aversano.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
That's a V. E. R. S an O.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
All right, she's a New York woman.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Hurry, I want to get some stuff too, people.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Are you know, okay, sure, sure. She's approximately fifty years old.
She put up some political stickers in her neighborhood in
Staten Island where she lives. She's a working class girl,
not a wealthy person. She's not some rich football player
from the NFL gonna buy away out out of her
criminal problems. But they slapped her with two felony charges,
and the now she has a felony record, and she
(25:32):
was put on probation again for something that was clearly political.
The NYPD was harassing this woman for months on end
before they even arrested her. And again she was slapped
with two fellas. She doesn't have a criminal record and
didn't have as so much as a parking ticket on
her record before the two felony charges, and now she's
a convicted fellow at the age of fifty and then again,
(25:54):
this is happening every single day on a daily basis
in our major metropolitan areas under Democrat administrations.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
And again, you know, it's something that needs to be
investigated and there needs to be a full commission to
hold account of police corrupt police officials. They're like gangsters
on public assistance.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
All right, Nate, thanks for the call. One hundred three
two one zero seven ten. If you're just tuning in,
the worst kept secret is now true. Andrew Cuomo is
running for mayorly in New York. YEP, Andrew Cuomo running
(26:33):
for mayor. Let's go back to the phones. One hundred
and three to two, one zero seven ten. Brian in
Croton on Hudson in Westchester.
Speaker 11 (26:41):
Hey, Brian, congratulations, Rob. You were rocking the house for
the past year. But I want to remind everybody that
that no jail, no bail thing. Speaker of Assembly and
the Senate leader cousins were the ones who put it
on Cuomo's desk, and they have to They get no
heat in talk radio or anywhere in the media, and
(27:05):
they're the ones who put it on there. He well,
he ran like ten years ago. He never talked about
it when the hard heart left took over the state legislature.
He had a bow to them or they get rid
of them. And it's disgusting your Democrats. This is New
York City. Have your choice between Cuomo or Adams or
any other one of these. They were all left wing lunatics.
Anybody trying to protect Adams now is exposing themselves as
(27:29):
just a political hack. Trump has a record of Look
at Mayor Kilpatrick of Detroit. He partnered this guy. Look
at this guy's record. He was in jail. You should
still be in jail, but part with Trump. Pardon them so.
But the thing is, what are they waiting for for
the raids in New York City? Are they waiting for
after the primary to make Adams look good?
Speaker 10 (27:48):
What are they doing?
Speaker 11 (27:48):
This is ridiculous. The illegals are in this country. They're
not doing anything about it. In the New York City,
the Rays have slowed down. It looked like they came
on as gang busses in the beginning to get the
vis for the media. They're really slowed down with the deportations.
There are a lot of bad people, and they're also
tax chiefs too, and welfare scam is they're only just violent.
(28:09):
Bet scam is on our it's system and if they
here to stay. I hate to tell the people that
because nobody out there is really going to do anything
about it. It's all a big show, you know. Listen,
Cousins is the Senate leader in the New York State
and Hasty. These are the left, hard left lunatics, never
get no heat. So but we know that why are
(28:30):
they being protected? And we know the answer to that
is because they're really just they're not really interested in
really doing anything. New York City, New York State has
been destroyed because of the last year of left wing politics.
That's what it is, not the basis, Yes, the Blasio,
He's just a symptom of left wing politics.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Right, thanks for the call, made sense. I mean, you know,
good stuff. One in hundred three to two one zero
seven ten. One in hundred and three two one zero
seven ten. Dona Andrew is back.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
He's back.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
He's back, and he scares the hell out of a
lot of people. He does. He scares the hell out
of the business community. I mean, he can be a thug,
that's how he rules. He rules with fear. I had
a huge dust up with him I still remember this.
I was county executive. He was trying to get through
the Tappanzee Bridge reconstruction, which of course became the Cuomo Bridge.
(29:27):
But I was on a committee the New York State
I was it the Nimtech New York Metropolitan Transportation Council,
by virtue of being County executive, and it needed the
unanimous approval to get federal funding for the bridge. And
I remember we were working on getting a mass transit
(29:50):
component designed into this new bridge, so Rockland commuters in
the northern Hudson Valley would have a way to come
across and then hop on to Metro North and go
straight down, and not necessarily that it had to have
the trains on it when it opened, but that it
had to be designed to at least have mass transit.
(30:11):
And you know, he was balking, and then he agreed,
but he wouldn't put it in writing, and so finally said,
I am not going to vote for this. I am
going to vote no, which would kill the whole thing
unless you agree to this. Well, oh, he called me
up one day. I still remember. I was in the city.
We were in the car, and the phone rings and
(30:34):
I pick it up. I'm like, yes, the governor would
like to speak with you. So I'm like all right.
So he gets on there and we start having a
nice conversation. You know, Rob, look, we could both be
winners here. This is a big project. You're the county executive.
It's going to really benefit Westchester and this and that,
(30:55):
and then he transitions to bad Andrew and it was
if you don't efin vote for this at that meeting,
I'm gonna e f and destroy you, and going on
and on and on. And I sat there and I
said when he was finished, I said, are you done.
(31:16):
I said, okay, so let me just reiterate I'm voting no.
Unless you do what you're supposed to do and what
you said you do, talk to you later.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
And I hung up.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
And he's not used to that. And he did have
to come out and make a statement on the record
that that bridge was going to be designed at least
to have mass transit. But that's how he operates, and
that's exactly what you know. He would pull that on
the business community, he would pull that on donors, anyone.
(31:47):
He would pull that on legislators, anyone that got in
his way. That's how he would react, and too many
of them pooped in their pants. Me. I you know,
I always learned a long time ago, you punch a
bully right in the face and they won't bother you
on the playground. So I mean when I ran against
them in fourteen, I could care less went right after him.
(32:09):
But look, he's I think will be the next mayor.
Not saying I think that should happen, but just looking
at New York City, it's gonna be hard to beat him.
Let me go back to the phones. Here, we got
Kevin in Connecticut. Hi, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 12 (32:28):
Can you hear me? My point is number one, the
waste floud an abuse has been in both the House
and the Senate, and they put mirrors in those walls,
they'd be able to see where all the waste forloard
abuse actually comes from. And number two, I think that
the Senate and the Congress who passed the Obama pare
(32:50):
should be responsible and be on Obamacare and all their
staff and not charge America for the fancy healthcare that
they have now.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
So I go say, all right, thanks for your call, Kevin.
Let's go to Maria in Tarrytown. You're on seven to
ten w r hi.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Ron, Happy anniversary. I was your first caller when you started.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Look at that, all right, you're in the history books.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
So Andrew Cuomo is a diversion. In my book, he's
a husband. It's Adrian Adams who's the real threat. She
is bulletproof. She's a black woman, has the black church vote,
she's head of city council. She's gonna vote for cash lists,
bail and defund the police. And like you said before,
(33:37):
New Yorkers are stupid enough to vote for her too.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
But here's the thing, Maria, I think Adrian she does
not have the power that people think she has as
a city council president.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
And she is.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
She's definitely a leftist, there's no question. But she's in
a group with five or six other leftists and they're
all gonna be splitting up the vote. They're all gonna
try to go further and further and get more and
more outrageous to try to get enough of that vote,
where on the other side you've got basically Mayor Adams
and Cuomo, who's gonna try to play the middle. And
(34:16):
as I said, he's going to sit there and he's
gonna say I'm gonna clean up all this mess. There's
only one person that could fix what's going on here,
and that's gonna be me, even though he lit the fire.
But he wants to be the fireman that comes and
be and as the hero, even though he's the arsonist.
(34:36):
So he's gonna he He just has to maintain enough,
enough and enough, and with rank choice voting, he'll get
over fifty percent at some point. That's probably how it's
gonna work out. Let's go to Sondra in New Jersey.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
Hi, I Soandra, congratulations Rob on a whole year of
successful hosting a wonderful show.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (35:00):
I wanted to talk about Chromo, and then I had
a question if I have time as far as Cromo goes.
First of all, we all know all the covitations that died,
and we have to remember the underreporting of the nursing
home deaths. We also have to remember how when COVID
came about, his family and his closest associates were the
(35:21):
only people that were able to get the COVID testing.
Nobody else was able to get it. We can't forget
Bailly form. He so much so supported that and the
other thing that I wanted to mention, I don't know
if you know about this on the Moorland Commission that
I believe he established in twenty thirteen, and a year
later twenty fourteen, he abruptly ended it. And then I
(35:44):
think it's because they were starting to question things that
he was doing. So that's something you might want to
look into. The Moorland, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I know the Moraling commissioned very well because when the
breadcrumbs started leading to his office, that's exactly you're right,
that's exactly when he shut them down. He used the
moraland Commission to go after his enemies. But when they
looked like, wait a minute, but we just found something,
you did and your folks did get out of here
and shut him off.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
So well.
Speaker 13 (36:15):
So John, I'm so glad you know so much.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
I love you.
Speaker 13 (36:18):
So my concern is this, I kind of feel like
you do about Eric Adams, Like even Ludlow said the
same things. He's gone along with all the Trump administration policies,
which is great, but we can't forget Curtis Sleewerk. I
feel that we should support him too, and maybe even
(36:39):
more because Fleewan never stole a penny in his life
and we have to give him a chance, and we
may end up becoming so delighted with this wonderful mayor
we should give him a chance. So my concern is
if you vote for Eric Adams, who may very well
lose anyway, either somehow put the votes towards Sleewer instead,
or somehow maybe they can work at something so the
(37:02):
votes aren't wasted. If you vote for this one, then
that one's going to lose. If you vote for that one,
this one's going to lose. So that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
No, I appreciate the call, Sondra. Look I've known Curtis forever.
We used to work together a long long time ago,
back in two thousand and one, and I've known him
a very long time. Look, any Republican running is going
to have a very difficult time, more so now that
Donald Trump is in office because of the You know,
(37:30):
their heads are snapping right now in the city, these voters,
and we're just at the beginning. So by come November,
they're going to be foaming at the mouth and they
won't hear anything that makes any sense other than I
hate Donald Trump. So if you hate Donald Trump, I'll
vote for you. That's just unfortunate. But that's what's going
to happen. That's just the way it is. I hope
(37:53):
I'm wrong, and I would love, you know, Curtis or
any Republican to get elected. I would take Mayor Adams
as I said I would, I would take him if
if it can't be a Republican. I hope he gets
re elected because I think he's on the right path
and given a second term, he would probably give the
finger to all these leftists who have gone after him,
and he truly would work with Trump and anyone to
(38:16):
clean up this mess. All right, if you're going to
the airport, you gotta go Liros point to point, because
they are really good at what they do. Nice clean car,
nice normal person shows up behind the wheel, dressed.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Good appearance, clean smells nice. If you know what I'm
talking about. Some of these ubers that show up, my god,
I don't even know how they pass their inspection their vehicle,
let alone some of the body order that some of
these people have. But honestly, I mean, you could take
a rod Chare, you could call a taxi. That's fine,
(38:57):
I guess, but I'd rather have Liro's point to point
knowing they're gonna pull up on time, knowing they're going
to be professional and get you to where you got
to go safely. Every one of their chauffeurs their screen,
they have background checks, they're impeccable, and so two of
their vehicles. So if you're going to the airport, you
want to sedan or a night out in the town,
(39:19):

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Woor hey, make sure you follow me on all social
media Facebook, x, Insta, all those at Rob Astar Reno,
and of course you could always listen to us live
on the radio or on seven to ten wor dot
com or the iheartapp, So three good ways to listen
(40:30):
in And if you miss this show or you want
to go back and listen to other shows that we
did over the last year, then just go to of
course the podcast and you can get that online or
on the app.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
You can forward that to friends. And that's how we
built up an audience here. That's how we're doing it.
And I appreciate it because you're telling others you don't
have to listen to the other station at four o'clock.
You can listen here, and I'm glad you are. Larry Mente,
who was in his little promo, said he's going to
be talking, of course about Cuomo on Monday, so make
(41:04):
sure you listen to Menti in the morning six a
to ten a Monday through Friday. Larry does a good job,
all right, you know, does a good job. Toyota City
in Mamarnick, they are the best of the best. We
had two Toyotas, two highlanders, and those things you can't
kill them. You can, like Andrew Cuomo, you cannot kill them.
(41:26):
They're great. Well, Toyota's are great, not Cuomo. Massive inventory,
all the models and trims in stock. They've got the
least rates that are best for you. Good financing offers,
one hundred percent transparent in their pricing, no hidden fees.
So if you want a new Toyota, then I suggest
(41:49):
you go to Toyota City in Mamarnick or Toyota CITYNY
dot com and go to their website, look up everything
that they got available, and if you want to do
a test drive, then give him a buzz and show up.
Say hi, we're part of the Toyota City Integrity Automotive
Group family because we got our vehicle from them. So
(42:11):
make sure you say hello to the folks at Toyota
City in Mamarnick. All right, let me sneak in another
call or so. And then I got to I got
something that I've been waiting to say for weeks on shopwrite.
When I went there, Bruce puts his thumbs up because
we keep running out of time. Let's see, Andrew, how
are you.
Speaker 10 (42:33):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (42:34):
I'm doing well.
Speaker 11 (42:35):
I just want to say.
Speaker 10 (42:36):
With Zelensky, I would say not even the sheets. We
could take back all the equipment. We gave and the
money and okay, we'll give you the sheets. But for
him to disrespect and look a gift horse in the
mouth was outrageous and his country. Trump was right, it
wouldn't be It wouldn't survive without us and all the
(42:58):
money and the weapon that we gave him. So it
was shocking, and it was shocking he wouldn't agree to
the mineral agreement because that would be like a security
agreement because they'd be less likely to mess with us.
With US being there, Russia would be less likely to
be aggressive. So the whole thing was stunning. But lastly
I loved it because Trump was given a message not
(43:21):
just to Zinski, but to all these nations in Canada,
NATO nations, you have to pay what you agreed on.
You have to have your own military, not Canadian Marine.
So don't think that you could just have your social
welfare programs, think you're better than us, and then try
to use our military.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
No, you have to.
Speaker 10 (43:41):
It has to be more equitable. Just when I say
I loved it, I thought.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
It was great Andrews moment. It was an amazing moment
and thanks for the call. As always, this was I mean,
if you haven't seen this video in its entirety. Especially
don't take a one second, ten second, twenty second clip
from CNN. No, you got to watch the whole exchange.
This was the most fascinating thing I have seen in
(44:05):
government in a long time. The Zelenski Trump jd Vance
meeting in the Oval Office yesterday where it was supposed
to be a signing of an agreement. They had worked
out the parameters and Zelensky was coming to sign it.
They were gonna have lunch together, they were gonna have
a press conference, a signing ceremony, and it all went
(44:27):
to hell, and it was amazing, And you know, the
little things do matter. So I've always said this about Zelenski.
I mean, when you go back, you know, to just Ukraine,
the politics of Ukraine, they have been corrupt forever, ever, forever.
And even he can't account for billions and billions of
(44:47):
dollars that the US sent over there over the last
three years. They can't account for it. So somebody has
taken off the top. This money's going all over the place.
But look, we want Ukraine to win, period. Russia isn't
the aggressor. Russia is not a good actor. They're a
bad actor. They are an enemy, and nobody should be
(45:11):
rooting for Russia. But this really isn't our fight. This
is Europe's fight, and Europe is kind of I don't
want to say, nowhere to be found. But why are
we giving as much money as all the European nations combined?
So Trump is questioning everything, as we should, because who
thinks things have been going well? They're not. America has
(45:32):
been the doormat and Biden just gave them money and
money and money, no accountability. What happens. They're just churning
out more and more war. And what's happening. Ukraine is
losing men left and they're running out of men. This
is a This is a this is a game that
Russia will win. This is a long game and they're
(45:53):
playing it and Russia will win this. So Trump is saying, okay, look,
we got to stop this because we don't want to
send our troops. Do you want do you want our soldiers?
Do you want our men and women in uniform to
go over there to fight this war? Hell no, I don't,
and I don't think America does. But are we gonna
just keep writing checks? We better not, especially since we're
(46:14):
cutting stuff at home, as we should because we're a
massive deficit and debt. So Trump says, okay, look, you
got real rare earth minerals that we need, that the
West needs. We will sign a deal for you. This
will be paying back some of the money that you
that we gave you. But now if we sign this,
(46:36):
we the United States will have a presence in Ukraine.
And don't you think that's gonna be a deterrent to
Russia and bad actors. Do you think Russia is gonna
storm right through where American businesses are, Americans are situated. No,
because Putin is not stupid enough to want World War three.
(46:59):
He's not. If he could have leveled Kiev, he could
have leveled Ukraine by now, he didn't. He didn't use
all this stuff in his arsenal. They're playing a grinded
out war. Nobody wants that this's got to come to
an end, and it won't. It'll go on and on
and on and on and on with our money. But
I sure as hell don't want our blood in that war.
(47:20):
And Trump is trying to stop it, and you know,
just diplomatically, what in God's name was Zelensky doing there
in many ways try to make Trump and Vance look
really bad in their own office. And I'm glad Trump
pushed back and said, you know, I'm trying to get
(47:42):
to a win here and you're not letting us. And
the fact that Zelenski was barking back at these guys
and called the Vice President j D. You don't do that.
You just don't. I don't care how well your relationship is,
you don't do that. When Mayor Adams was here, I
(48:02):
called him Mayor on the phone. I could call him Eric.
I won't do it in public, but this has got
to stop. And Zelensky not wearing a suit when he
was requested to wear a suit to the Oval office
and he told them no, all right, okay, oh my god,
I got one minute left, all right, So here's my shop, right?
Speaker 10 (48:23):
So I was.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
I was at shop right a couple weeks ago, and
I got some stuff. And you know, eggs are like
forty eight dollars now, I get whatever. I had like
six things in there, and it came to like seventy dollars. Honestly,
it was just crazy. And I put my money out
and then they said you want a bag, and I said, yeah,
(48:46):
I do need a bed, and they charged me five
cents for a bag. Now, I just spent sixty dollars
on like four things, and they charge five cents for
a bag that annoyed me more than anything that annoys
me more than twelve dollars for a dozen eggs. To
pay for a freakin' bag for five cents, I don't
(49:06):
have time for the rest of the story. I got
it out of here. We're starting your number two. Thank
you for being with me. I'm back here next Saturday.
Every Saturday at four pm. Have a great weekend. It's March.
