Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
By from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
on seven to ten wo R.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, the mayoral race. We'll give you all the latest,
all the latest polling information, all the latest info coming
up in just a second. We'll get to the World
Series last night. We'll get to Joe Biden. There's a
new report coming out about how really bad he was.
At the end, we'll get to the president's trip to Asia.
It's a pretty amazing trip. We'll get to a ballroom

(00:32):
derangement syndrome and more. Don't forget this is the last
week of daylight saving time, starting Sunday. It's going to
be dark out five point fifteen, five point thirty. It's
just terrible. It takes a lot of getting used to.
So where do we stand in the mayle race. Well,
it doesn't look good, mom, Donnie maintains a pretty comfortable lead.

(00:55):
And well, i'll give you the latest poll, the latest poll.
And again, these are not great polls. These are these
college polls which don't mean much of anything. But the
latest one, the latest college poll shows Andrew Cuomo ten
points behind. Now there was a previous poll. Again, these
are all junk polls, but it showed him twenty points behind.

(01:18):
So you know you're in real trouble when you're cheering
that you rose up to only ten points behind. Ten
points behind is still ten points behind. Now, what's interesting
in this poll is if Sleewood dropped out, we don't
think Curtis needs to drop out second to solve Cuomo's problems.

(01:38):
His unlikeability, his terrible track record as governor turned off
a lot of people. That's why he's been just stumbling
through this campaign. You know, in the had he not
been in the primary, we might be in a different place.
Had he stayed out of this, Eric Adams would have
run in the Democratic primary, and who knows, he might
have had a much better shot at beating Mom in

(02:00):
the primary. We know one thing that Cuomo absolutely screwed
up in the primaries. He got killed in both debates.
He lost by a lot in the primary, had nothing
to do with the wrong choice. He lost by a
lot in the popular vote, and because of him, we
got Mam Donni as the Democratic nominee. Maybe Eric Adams
could have stopped him had there been no Cuomo. But

(02:23):
and if Cuomo got out of the race, there is
one poll that came out on Friday. The only poll
that at that time was after the debates that showed
Curtis would do better against mam Donni, then Cuomo would
by two points if it were a two man race.
But here's the latest in this poll. If Curtis were
to drop out, now, Cuomo in the latest poll ten

(02:45):
points behind. It's mam Donni forty four percent Cuomo thirty
four percent. So Mam Donni has a ten point lead
now in this polling in all the data, if you
go through it, if Curtis were to drop out, only
thirty six percent of his votes would go to Cuomo,
and they'd surveyed these people pretty carefully, so out of
the Curtis ye wild vote, if he dropped out, Cuomo

(03:07):
would only get thirty six percent of that vote, which
would give him another four percent. So what that means
is if if Curtis were out of the race in
this poll, it would be mam Donni forty four percent
Cuomo thirty eight percent. So still not good. The only
thing that could change all of this is massive turnout,

(03:29):
and it looks like we're getting that so far. Turnout
in the early voting, which is now three days. This
will be day four. Early voting is almost five hundred
percent above normal, above the last few elections. So if
there's massive turnout, that could change things, and that depends
who turns out. It could be you know, these crazy

(03:50):
twenty somethings who love Mom Donni. But pole watchers are
saying it looks like boomers gen xers are dominating. That's
people over fifty and they generally don't go for Mom Donnie.
So in fact, some poll watchers are saying they believe
sixty six h sixty percent of the ballots people over fifty,

(04:13):
So that could be a help to Cuomo or Curtis.
So we're up to about three three hundred and fifty
thousand voters so far, So if that continues, we're on
track to get record, you know, close to two million votes,
which is extremely high turnout. That's how Giuliani beat Dinkins,

(04:34):
very very high turnout. Republicans have won five of the
last eight mayoral elections, but it requires extremely high turnout
to do it. Now, you could argue, some will argue, well,
you can't count Bloomberg because he spent something like one
hundred million of his own money for a huge turnout operation. Yeah,
maybe but Republicans can win. So Mam Donnie caught in

(05:00):
a huge lie. Now everybody's waiting to see if this
is a big factor. We don't know how many people
are watching this, paying attention to this, how focused they
are on this incident. But Mamdanie got caught in a
huge lie. He told the story about his aunt after
nine to eleven. She had problems riding the subway because
she wore the Muslim garb and she would get stairs,

(05:22):
and who knows what else, but this poor aunt to
his on the subway in New York right after nine
to eleven, how tough it was. He told this tear
jerking story. People checked his aunt wasn't in New York
after nine to eleven. She lived ten thousand miles away
in another continent. She wasn't here. And then it turns

(05:43):
out his aunt never wears a he job, never wears
any Muslim garb, just looks like anybody else on the subway.
So a major, major lie. Now this is all proven, detailed,
that he out and out lied about this aunt. He
had to confess yesterday. So he confessed that all of
this is true. It wasn't his aunt. But then he

(06:05):
made up a whole other story. Well, it wasn't his aunt,
it was a very distant cousin of his father. Well
who is it, Well she's dead, So it sounds like
a convenient excuse that there's a very distant relative who's dead.
And generally you know who your aunt is and you
don't confuse them with any very distant relative of your father.

(06:29):
So it's clearly a total out and out lie, absolute lie.
And then this whole thing about the Muslim discrimination having
a problem in being in New York being Muslim, it's
kind of ridiculous. It's a huge Muslim population in New York.
It's eleven percent. The Jewish population is also eleven percent,

(06:49):
so they're pretty much equal. The Jewish population and the
Muslim population are equal. They're both eleven percent. And if
you check with the police, there's no reports of anti
Muslim attacks. But if you check with the police, there's
thousands and thousands of report of anti Jewish, anti Semitic attacks.
I don't have to tell you've heard about millions of them.
There's thousands of incidents of that. No incidents with the

(07:12):
New York City Police of any anti Muslim activity. So
the whole thing is a complete fake, ridiculous issue that
he's been using. Now, Cuomo, he's been looking better. He
was good in the debate, the last debate, he thinks,
and that really just was horrible. In the two primary debates,

(07:32):
first general election debate, he was bad. People think he
got injected in one of those Joe Biden injections to
give him some energy, wake him up. He was pretty
good in the last debate. Again, it's all about turnout.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
In the primary. The turnout was totally different than they thought,
much younger, and the younger vote was a much higher percentage,
and that skewed all the polls.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, Now, public polls are just junk. They're really flamency
poles in private campaigns usually spend a fortune and get
the real serious polling companies to come in and do
of deadly accurate polls. Now Cuomo hasn't done that. Curtis
hasn't done that. We think Mamdani has and people are
noticing he's running a ton of TV ads, a ton

(08:19):
of social media ads, a lot of advertising, a lot
of commercials. They're pretty much not attacking Cuomo in them.
They're about affordability, but they're not Cuomo attack ads. That
would indicate that in his data he's not seeing a
big problem from Cuomo. If Cuomo were really getting close,
you'd see him run attack ads like crazy. So far
he has not done that. He still keeps talking about

(08:40):
affordability too often.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
We think of affordability as a young person's problem of
whether you can build a life here. But there's so
many who are asking themselves whether they can keep a
life here.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah. So and again, if affordability is the problem, if
this is a crisis housing affordability, if it's a disaster
here in New York, well that would be the Democrat's
fault because they've controlled every inch of New York government
for fifteen years, Democrat mayor, Democrat governor, Democrat City Council,
Democrat Legislature, both houses. So if affordability is such a crisis,

(09:12):
blame them. If it's that bad, the logical thing to
do would be the switch parties, try somebody else. So
Cuomo keeps he's been campaigning. You know, he took like
ten days off Vanish but he's out there campaigning again.
I feel it. I feel it on the street.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I continue to be confident in our campaign as well
as in our outreach to voters above the age of
fifty five. And also, I will not allow myself to
become complacent.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah. Well, and you know Curtis. Curtis been campaigning nineteen
hours a day, just one appearance every hour, everywhere. He's
just been in all five boroughs, every neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Like it or not, I'm running to the end. That's
what democracy is about. Let people vote the billionaires. They're
not going to choose the mayor. The inside is. Oh,
the influences are not going to He's the mayor of
the people.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
Off.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, that's a good Oh, he's right.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
New York City is best known as a city that
locks up toothpast.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
It doesn't not lock up criminals.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
And that's something I'll do when I get elected mayor
on November four.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Criminals are all let loose thanks to
our da Alvin Bragg, who you can get rid of
next Tuesday, on election day, vote for Maud Maren the Republican.
It's very important. Get out there and get rid of
Alvin Bragg. Vote for Maud Maren the Republicans, big, big,
big crime fighter, long history, and get rid of Alvin Bragg.

(10:33):
On Tuesday. But this whole thing of letting the criminals
run loose, you can shoplift, it's all. You can thank
Cuomo for that, with his no bail, no jail, also
with his closing the prisons. Remember he bragged about how
he closed all the prisons and let everybody out. So
here's more of Mom Donnie.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Together, New York. We're going to freeze the.

Speaker 7 (10:55):
Did you get in New York?

Speaker 4 (10:57):
We're gonna make buses fast and.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right, freeze the rent. He has no authority to freeze
the rent anywhere, make busses free. He has absolutely no
control over the buses. It's run by the MTA, which
is controlled by the governor.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Let our words ring out so loud tonight that Andrew
Cuomo can hear them in his eight thousand dollars a
month apartment. Let them ring so loud that his puppet
master in the White House hears us.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
New York is not for saved.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Apparently it is because Mom Donnie took tens of millions
of dollars from all these sorrows types. Nobody had more
funding from billionaires and all sorts of special interests than
Mom Donnie. Did you knowice he took the shot at
CUOMO in Westchester. So the problem Cloma's got a lot
of problems running. He's got terrible track record as governor,
got more baggage than Paris Hilton. And people remember all

(11:55):
these horrible things as governor, from closing Indian Point to
killing all the seniors and the nursing homes, to creating
the crime wave, the no bail, no jail, to all
all this stuff. I won't even read you the whole
list of the long list, not to mention he picked
Kathy Hockl. He's the one that stuck us with Kathy Hockle.
He chose her for us. So it's a terrible track

(12:17):
record as governor. And he's also, as Mom Donnie was
pointing out there, up in Westchester. He's the first mayoral
candidate who doesn't live in New York City, not a
New York City guy. His whole adult life, he's lived
in Westchester. He's been in the suburbs his whole adult life.
We've never seen that before. We had mayors that have
been born somewhere else, but they've always spent their entire

(12:39):
adult life living in New York City. Hey, even Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House weighing in on the raid.

Speaker 8 (12:45):
We can't allow a rise of Marxist and far left
activist in one party to shut down the entire operation
of the federal government. And that is exactly what they
are allowing them to do. The Democrats have got to
come their senses. You can endorse communist all you want,
at least keep the government operating.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, so again Cuomo, had he not been in the race,
everything might have been different. Eric Adams is a pretty
good campaigner. He might have had a better shot in
the primary and knocked out Mom, Donnie and then Cuomo.
It's all about the campaign. He hasn't been out there.
He hasn't He still hasn't opened a campaign office. It

(13:22):
doesn't that much of a staff. He's not a lot
of appearances, not doing much. And he's got this whole
thing about get everybody else out of the race, which
is when you got to do that, you know you're
in trouble. Remember Donald Trump in the primaries, he had
we have fifteen guys running against him. He didn't force
anybody out. The last time we saw that happen was

(13:43):
when Joe Biden was running and he couldn't win. So
to get him the nomination. The Democrats forced everybody out
of the race. Remember the day before South Carolina Elizabeth
Warren Withdrew, Buddha Jedge Withdrew Sanders Withdrew. They ordered everybody
out of the race. That's the only way Biden could win.
They're trying that now. They're ordering Curtis out of the race,

(14:03):
which is ridiculous. You know, Cuomo did that when he
ran for governor. When he was running for governor, David Patterson,
very popular, was going to be a candidate against him,
and he couldn't beat Patterson, so they had the Obama
administration get Patterson out of the race, which they did.
I've talked to Patterson. He's confirmed that although yesterday Patterson
endorsed Cuomo, that.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
Is clearly advantageous to the former governor. That the senior vote,
which had been dwindling, is coming back almost with love
rhythmatic proportions.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
What was that word, lover rhythmmadic? Well, I see that's
one smart guy. I don't know what the hell that means,
but I guess it has to do with a labyrinth. No,
I don't know algorithm. I don't know what it means,
but Patterson's great and I've had Patterson had run, I
think we'd all vote for him. He would have been
a much better candidate than Cuomo. So again, we don't

(15:00):
know about these polls. They're not the greatest polls. Anything
could change. Also, don't go by the betting markets, the
poly markets. People look at this betting market. These are
just amateur's betting and it's usually based on the poles.
And one of the reasons those betting markets don't work
very well. And you'll know whatever it says, it doesn't matter.
Let's say something else in two days. They just move

(15:20):
up and down and up and down. They don't really
predict anything. Whoever bets the most money moves the market
the most. And like the poly market, there's four big
players who bet so much money that it's whatever these
four guys think that moves it more than anything. Anyway,
we got a lot to get to you, Bill, O'Reilly.
We'll see what he thinks. We'll talk to him in
a couple of minutes. We'll take some calls. Next eight

(15:42):
hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the
number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten in
mark on demand.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
By setting a preset for his podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Now back to Mark Simon on WOO.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, that's takes and Call. You know, we get the
people pull from all over the country, but let me
see if we can find some New York City callers. First,
let's go to Phil and Queen's Phil. How you doing, hey, Mark?

Speaker 10 (16:13):
I think Curtis is gonna win, and quite frankly, Cuomo
helped destroy the city. Mandami will build on that and
make it worse. And I drive around the city quite
a bit. I see Curtis signs where I didn't expect to,
and I'm gonna give me another moment. There's a reverse

(16:33):
barometer of how this selection is going. Even though a
lot of people don't view New York One, they are
so in the bag for the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah no, no, nobody sees nobody sees New York One. But
a better rehearse barometer always follow the big money donors
because they always get it wrong every time. They have
an incredible track record of always getting it wrong. So
the big, big money donors are behind Cuomo. So just
bear that mind. Let's see you in New York City.
Here's Bill and Brooklyn. Bill, how you doing him.

Speaker 11 (17:02):
Mark, I'm supporting President Trump in the mayoral election. He
doesn't want us to vote for Curtis. We're gonna have
to throw Curtis under the bus and go with the Democrat.
He's rather a.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Democratic than the Democrat.

Speaker 11 (17:14):
Is Mam Donni No a Democrats Democrats democrat, not the
communist Democrat.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I don't know if you can make that case. First
of all, Cuomo is not at all a Democrat. He's
running on a third party ticket. He's not the Democratic nominee.
Democrats rejected him in the primary. And when he was
governor he was as far left as mam donnie with
his no bail, no jail, closed the prisons.

Speaker 11 (17:35):
But he believes in capitalism. Mark, that's important.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, No, you're right about that. The argument is that
Mam Donnie would be worse, but Cuomo would be just
as bad. Cuomo, if you check his record as governor,
was so far to the left, crazy, woke, crazy.

Speaker 11 (17:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
But again, he's not the Democratic nominee. If you voting,
don't say vote for the Democrat because that would be
mam donnie in the race. Mam Donnie's Democratic candidate curts
the Republican candidate Cuomo running on a third party, which
nobody could probably name. Let's go six and one. Let's
go to Ron in Texas. Ron, how you doing? Wait
a minute, there you go, Ron. How you doing?

Speaker 12 (18:15):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (18:15):
Pretty good.

Speaker 14 (18:17):
There's something that's missing about Cuomo.

Speaker 15 (18:20):
He's got a bucalo of problems, and one of them
is people missing.

Speaker 14 (18:25):
The prole board that he's put into place, half is
still there.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah. No, that's another good point. Cuomo was as far
left as mom Donnie when he was governor. He replaced
the whole parole board with these far left woke kooks.
They've let out everybody, including think about this. His parole
board let out forty three cop killers. And this is
just an example of how he governs. Let's go to
Jerry in Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing?

Speaker 13 (18:51):
I'm doing well, Mark, thank you for taking my call.
I met Camillo yesterday. Insider down.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Fred Camillo is the mayor of Grantwitch. She's the best mayor.
They call it the first selectman. But everybody make sure
to work vote for Fred Camillo on Tuesday. Make sure
you vote for him.

Speaker 13 (19:07):
I'm definitely working for him. I mean, you know, I
asked him to give me two signs for his support,
and I put him on my property on North Street,
which is really really nice. And I support my friend
Heather for a tax collector. So I'm a great supporter
of Camillo and Heather.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, everybody Greenwich vote for Fred Camillo best mayor. They
he's a great man and a great guy. All right,
thanks for calling. Let's go to sal in Long Island. Sal.
How you doing good?

Speaker 16 (19:37):
Good morning Mark, Mark. I don't want to change the
subject too much from the campaign, but I wanted your
opinion on how do you feel about bringing back the draft?
So these eighteen year olds would learn respect, learn a career,
possibly learn that they just they can't eat with Mommy
makes them all the time, and they will learn to
be adults and turn out to be men after two

(19:59):
years of being in the army.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Well, it sounds good on paper. It sounds good on paper,
but it can't happen because nobody's going to campaign about
bringing back the draft. You'd you'd get killed in an
election if that was your platform. And Democrats aren't going
to bring back the draft. They don't like the military.
Republicans would worry it would kill any chance of getting elected.
But it's a good idea.

Speaker 16 (20:19):
I think, I'm sorry, I think President Trump would be
all for it though, and that would bring back respect
and patriotism. Also, that's what we had at one time,
and that was one of the reasons we had it.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, but again, bring back the draft. You probably can't
get elected. But President Trump's been very good on military recruiting.
Recruiting just stopped under Joe Biden because they went so
woke and you know, trans or whatever they went to,
it pretty much dried up. That's one reason he wanted
Pete Hexath. Hexath is very good at that. The one
thing he's done, he's dramatically increased recruiting by thousands of percent.

(20:56):
I mean, he's just recruiting is now through the roof,
back where we wanted it. Let's go to Andy in
New Jersey. Andy, how you doing, Hey?

Speaker 14 (21:04):
Mark the word that Governor Patterson was trying to spit
out with logarithmic, but even if you could pronounce it,
it didn't make any sense because logarithmic increases slower than linear.
What he wanted to say as an exponential increase, which
is much much faster than linear.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, he's a very smart guy, Patterson, but you got
to watch those words. Well, I don't need to give
him any advice, he knows that a speaking public. But
you got to watch that, that gibberish kind of what.
So it's logarithmic versus exponential exponential?

Speaker 14 (21:33):
Yeah, yeah, whatlgarithm is slow? Exponential is very fast.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh, logarithmic is slow, exponential is fast. All right, let
me just write that down because I'm never going to
use that anywhere. Who's going to know what the hell
I'm talking about. Hey, well, Bill O'Reilly will be with
us next. Lots to talk to him about the mayoral race,
the World series. Last night eighteen innings. The game went
till two fifteen in the morning. Anyway, a lot to

(21:58):
get to next on seven Wry's.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
The Marks Amon Show on seven ten WR.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Well.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Bill O'Reilly, of course, the number one TV anchor for decades.
You can watch his show the TV shows on you
just go to Bill O'Reilly dot com or watch YouTube.
He's got some great stuff on YouTube and his latest
best selling book. He's the biggest nonfiction author on earth.
The latest best selling book is Confronting Evil. It is
an amazing book. You gotta get it and you get

(22:28):
his column. Everything's at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly,
How you doing.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
Busy this morning?

Speaker 12 (22:35):
Just like you Mark?

Speaker 7 (22:36):
Right?

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah? Well, hey President in China, you made the trip first,
you were in China meeting with all these leaders there.
What is he What is he in for there?

Speaker 7 (22:45):
I think? Well, I got a text from him at
one in the morning's coast time, and he says that
everything's going very well, and uh, I'm the scenes that
Chinese are cooperating. So I was happy to hear that.
I'm making a point tonight on my broadcast and no

(23:07):
Spin News that there are people in America I'm starting
to really teem me off. They want them to fail
over there. You know, they hate him so much. And
I know some of these people, And now I have
a moral quandary because I don't really respect that. If

(23:28):
you are going to put your hatred for an individual,
whether it's Donald Trump or Notack Obama, anybody above the
welfare of your own country and your own family by extension,
then I don't respect you. And so then I have
to reevaluate how I'm going to deal with that person. Now,
I don't think that's common in say, a large amount

(23:55):
of people believe that, but certainly a significant amount of
people do, and you see it reflected in MS and CNN.
In fact, we're reporting a story tonight. I believe it's true,
although it's anonymously sore. So I always tell the audience
that got to bring a bit of skepticism when you

(24:16):
read about anonymous sore stories. That the head of CNN,
Mark Thompson, actually ordered his anchors to knock it off
about the White House renovations and start covering the most
important story of the year, Trump's Asia trip. He had
to order his own.

Speaker 11 (24:37):
People to do that.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
That's a pretty sad state of affairs.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I think, Yeah, this ballroom derangement syndrome, it's just ridiculous.
And you're right, big things are happening in this trip, big,
big trade deals with mineral deals. It should be covered NonStop.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
It's enormous. And so far he's two for two Asia
and Japan. And the reason that he's succeeding is because
people fear him so these countries. And I'm like, okay,
I want to give America a break. That's not really
the mentality. Mentality is I gotta get a deal with

(25:18):
this man, because if we don't, then our economy is
going to be hurt, particularly in Japan. They know they
have to calm it down. When I was in Japan
in May, I did not see one American vehicle. And
I traveled around a bit, there wasn't one American vehicle
on their streets that There were German cars and Korean cars,

(25:44):
but no American vehicles. What was that Because the Japanese
historically have kept out American cars from their marketplace, which
iump's changing all of that, And so I was happy
to see the initial couple of days go well, but
the big day is Thursday. The meeting was she Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Well, uh, there's no reason to think he won't do
very well with she for all the reasons you just said.
And a lot of people think there also might be
a wink and a nod about Taiwan or something like that.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
There's gotta be some accommodation made to the Chinese about Taiwan.
You're absolutely right. The American government cannot take a hard line.
There's a way to do this. But it's so emotional now,
particularly what happened in Hong Kong. You know, in the
beginning of Hong Kong is going to be autonomous and

(26:44):
it's going to be part of China, but they're gonna
let the capitalistic system flow there. And then of course
the Chinese said, I don't think something we will violate
every treaty, and that could happen in Taiwan, but you
gotta got to try to tamp that down. Most important
saying beside the trade with China, and that is ultra
important to the American economy is the back and away

(27:07):
from Putin. And that's what I discussed with the politbureau
in May when I was invited over there by the
Chinese government. I said, what are you into putin business for?
What is that? Why do you want to enable this guy?
You can get your oil from Outpek and Tumble sell
you oil to probably a better price than Putin. And
why do you want to be in business with this guy?

(27:28):
He's killing women and children. And when you know, the
Chinese don't answer when you ask questions, they ponder, they
don't answer.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
And when you deal with them, are they do? You
just see the brilliance, the incredible strategic minds, that is
it really that formidable these people.

Speaker 7 (27:48):
There's one guy who was really brilliant, and I met
with him. Uh one on one former ambassador to the
United States from China who served in Trump's first term,
and he, boy, this guy eighty years old. He knows
what he's doing.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
The others were.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
Bureaucrats. I mean, maybe that's unfair of me to say,
because I didn't spend a lot of I spent three
hours with this crew, but they were peppering me with
questions and there was a discussion back and forth. I
didn't see, you know, anything that stood out except for
this ambassador. And he's the she whisperer. He's the guy

(28:33):
that she listens to.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Hey, Bill Riley, before we went out of time, CBS,
they got this Barry Weiss in there trying to straighten
it out, make it more fair, balance neutral. Is it
possible to do that? Does she have any chance of
succeeding at that you used to work there.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
Yeah, that's a very very good question. I think she
can stabilize the operation and bring back some credibility to it,
but I don't think they're ever going to have good ratings.
I don't think there's anybody in America under the age
of fifty that watches the evening news. My kids don't

(29:09):
ever on any of them. They're obsolete because you can
get the information on social media and the internet way
before they come on at six thirty at night. And
the morning shows are just ridiculous. I mean, it's you know,
but what ms wis is going to do is get
the fanatics out, the progressive fanatics which dominated all three

(29:30):
networks for at least ten years, and that's what she's
going to do. You're going to get them out and
get more moderate people in, more professional people who aren't
going to you know, skew the news. So if I
were Scott Pelly, I wouldn't bite buying a house, you
know what I mean? There are people there who are
marked Gail King yea, I'd be hard to move her out,

(29:55):
But she's certainly going to get a haircut on the
paycheck and they're going to bring down all the salaries.
They're going to bring in some people that are not
identified with the far left, and I think that Weiss
will be able to restore some credibility there.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Hey, yeah, we'll get one minute left the election Tuesday.
What do you think is going to happen?

Speaker 7 (30:16):
Montani looks like Mandai is going to win. I mean,
you can you know that by the early voting. I
was surprised they gave out the tally so quickly. So
Mandmi is carrying Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens and Cuomo's carrying
the Bronx and Saten Island. It's not enough for Cuomoy,

(30:37):
so I expect that, you know, in one week, everybody
will go.

Speaker 12 (30:43):
But the early voting is.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
Very significant in New York City this year, and I
don't think that trend is going to change. So I
think Mandamie would be the mayor.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Well, we got through eight years at de Blasio and
it's basically the de Blasio team working for Mandani, so
do the same thing.

Speaker 7 (30:59):
All Yeah, next week we'll talk about this because the
Blasia was a disaster and he set the stage for this, Yeah, debacle,
it's about to happen. But I know, you got to
sell some stuff and now, so it's a little bit complicated,
but you know, this is the way life is. So

(31:20):
when New Yorkers, we're tough and you just got to
go along.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
All right, we'll get to that next week, but everybody
get Bill O'Reilly's latest book. You'll love this book, powerful
book called Confronting Evil. It's already a big bestseller. Watch
the YouTube channel Bill O'Reilly's YouTube channel. Great stuff there,

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Blogged into Everything New York.

Speaker 16 (32:42):
I'm the voice of New York, Mark Simone on seven
ten WR.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Well, I'm getting a lot of texts. That's not because
I'm popular. It just means I have a doctor's appointment.
Doctor's appointment today. It's just a yearly physical. I got
an email this morning reminded me of this, doctors. But
I just got a text, a reminder your doctor's appointment
is today. I got one last night. I got what

(33:11):
do they think I'm Joe Biden. I can't remember anything.
I mean, for hundreds of years people had doctor's appointments
and you just wrote it down, you know, and you
showed up. It was not I've asked doctors, why do
you do this? Why do you bombard us with texts
and emails, reminders and reminders. Wow, a misappointment can really
screw up everything, and it's the worst thing in the world.

(33:34):
I got lots of appointments all day. I don't get
four hundred texts. I mean, you've got a meeting with
somebody at three o'clock today. They don't send me a
million texts or reminder your meeting is actually I actually started
doing that to people, just a reminder. It's annoying. Hey,
World Series last night, eighteen innings walk off homer by

(33:55):
Freddie Freeman, who's very famous now for these walk off homers.
But innings, the game went till two fifteen in the morning.
There is nothing more annoying or less fun to watch
than one of those long inning games where nobody scores,
nothing happens. I mean, it's great watching all the defense,

(34:16):
but so you had like nine ten innings of no
scoring until that walk off homer. Hey, you know it's
the Dodgers. They won in eighteen eis. You know what
was fascinating was you know it was there at the game,
Sandy Kofax. I didn't even know he's still alive. He's
eighty nine years old, the legendary Dodger pitcher. There were

(34:37):
Sandy Kofax at the World Series. So it's definitely not
summer anymore. It's definitely well into the fall. We're really
into fall now. Because daylight savings time ends Sunday night.
Saturday night, you will gain an hour, you'll get an
extra hour of sleep Saturday night. You want to know
how close winter is. The Rockefeller sent Christmas tree. Yah,

(35:00):
that's right, it's that time already. They picked a tree
from a suburban farm in Albany, Albany Suburbs, one hundred
and thirty miles north of Manhattan. It's an eleven tons
seventy five foot Norway spruce tree donated by the Russ family.
It was planted more than sixty years ago. This is
good because the last tree came from Massachusetts, so this

(35:22):
is a New York tree. Why don't they just get
a fake tree? Why don't they get just a big
You could have one made, a seventy five foot fake tree.
You put it in storage. Every year, you bring it
out again. It's got to be cheaper than a truck
cutting down this thing and bringing this tree one hundred
and thirty miles. And isn't this bad environmentally? You're cutting
down these trees. Here's a sixty year old tree. Cutting

(35:46):
it down. I guess for the family, they don't mind.
It screws up their farm, but you can always say
that was our tree in Rockefeller Center. So it'll be
here pretty soon. That's when you know summer is real
really over? Hey, Amazon laying off thirty thousand people. Now,

(36:07):
everybody says there's this big AI employment meltdown coming, that
a lot of people will get laid off due to
this new technology AI. You know, usually when it's new technology,
it's blue collar jobs that are lost. This is a
whole different scenario. These are white collar jobs that will
be lost. If you look at these thirty thousand Amazon

(36:27):
people being laid off, it's all corporate. It's not the warehouse,
not that stuff, although that could be coming, but thirty
thousand corporate jobs, you know, accounting, hr all, this sort
of stuff. Thirty thousand jobs. That's a lot of jobs.
And then because of AI technology can do a lot
of this stuff. A lot of companies that have a
hiring freeze. JP Morgan other companies said it's a hiring

(36:51):
freeze and it's just starting, it's just heating up. The
AI stuff will put millions and millions. Some estimates up
to one hundred million people could be put out of
work by AI. Hey, speaking of Joe Biden, new report
comes out showing a well, it's no surprise, you know,
he was a vegetable, a zombie for years in the

(37:14):
White House. Didn't know where he was or what he
was doing. But a new report has a lot of
details about what they had to do with this guy.
If he had to appear, and remember he barely appeared.
Maybe once every couple of weeks you'd see him for
five minutes at some little ceremony. But apparently they had
to use a lot of makeup on him. They had
to very strategically place everything so he didn't have to

(37:36):
take too many steps. In other words, if you're going
to do a meeting, they had a room, and they
put the place the podium, right near the door, so
he had to take five steps instead of a walk
across the room. Even for the most simple little things,
just a little thing where he's going to greet somebody
and say a couple words, a teleprompter had to be used,

(37:57):
note cards. All that stuff looks bad. And they're now
in this report saying that all those last pardons were
definitely auto pen and if the president didn't actually sign
the part, and if it was an autopen a lot
of people think they can be legally canceled, the pardon
could actually be canceled, so that could get pretty interesting.
Now President Trump is in Southeast Asia. He's been Japan,

(38:21):
there's Korea, there's China, there's Malaysia. It's a big, long trip,
and it's you ever fly to Japan or Malaysia. It's
you're on a plane for like eighteen hours. It's quite
a flight. It's a grueling flight, and it's a long trip.
And the time difference it's not two hours, it's like
nineteen hours. It's like an incredible disruption of your circadian

(38:43):
rhythm body clock. So Trump was seen and in the
Japan ceremony, he had to walk the red carpet, and
on fake news they're going crazy saying clearly there's something
wrong with him, trying to make him look like Joe Biden, Like,
look at his gate, look at the way he's walking.
SEMs to be walking a little slower than usual. But
if you just spent eighteen hours flying to Japan, you're

(39:05):
in three countries and one day you're going to walk
a little slow. He just looks tired. He's fine, he's fine.
Don't fall for any of this fake news stuff. Speaking
of fake news, John Stewart last night has Mom Donnie
on zoron Mom Donnie Stuart trying to give him a
helping hand, puts Mom Donnie on the Daily Show now,
so you know where Stuart stands on all of this.

(39:28):
Mom Donnie, of course, huffing and puffing about everything.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
I think it makes the most sense in the wealthiest city,
in the wealthiest country in the history of the world,
that we actually ensure we have the funding necessary to
make it a place that New Yorkers can afford. And
I'm looking forward to working with Governor Hokle.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah, right now, the Mom Donnie team, who would he
put in city Hall? Who's going to be Well, it's
so far in the campaign it's it's the Bill de
Blasio team. Bill Deblasio's people have been running things for
Mom Donni, so people think when he takes office it'll
be a lot of the Deblazi people coming back. Things
were pretty bad under Deblasio, who was mayor for eight years. Now,

(40:06):
if there's an affordability crisis, you can certainly blame Bill
de Blasio for not fixing it. So it looks like
the same people, and again it'll be a lot like Deblasio.
Typical of these socialist Marxist candidates, all talk, never actually
get anything done. Nobody's ever actually helped from it except themselves.
Here's more of mom, Donnie.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
So I will continue to make the case as to
why I think we need to increase taxes on the
top one percent by two percent, why we need to
raise the state's top corporate tax rate to match that
out of New Jersey, and in doing so, this would
raise nine billion dollars, and that more than pays for
our economic agenda and starts to actually trump prof our city.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Well, that sounds good on paper, it doesn't actually work.
First of all, he has no power to tax the rich.
That's the legislature. He has no power to do that.
If you tax the first of all, the top one
percent pays forty eight percent of the taxes. The top
one percent now pays half the tax in New York.
So let's say you decided to increase the taxes on

(41:05):
that top one percent. Let's say ten percent of them leave, Well,
you just lost about five percent of your revenue right there.
Let's say twenty percent leaves, you just lost ten percent
of your revenue. So it doesn't work. The rich can
move wherever the hell they want. They can also choose
how they receive their income. They can go tax free,
they can move, they can do whatever they want. And

(41:26):
that's why you have a lot of people in New York.
You see a lot of billionaires here in the years.
Well they didn't leave, Yeah, actually they did. It's no
longer their residence. Their residence is now Florida or Texas
or somewhere else. It just means they can only be
in New York whatever it is, one hundred and seventy
five days a year. So they watched the calendar. So
there's a lot of these wealthy zillionaire and these hedge
fund guys who don't actually even live here anymore, even

(41:49):
though you think they do. They just switch their residence. Hey,
the shutdown continues, and Trump wanted to pay the mill.
He didn't want them to go without a paycheck, so
he found a wealthy donor to pay the military. It's
one hundred and seventy million for the month. That's how

(42:10):
much they get paid. So, believe it or not, he
found a donor who donated the money. And there's a
way to do it perfectly legal. The Pentagon has a
fund that you can put money into, is sort of
a gift and once it's in the Pentagon, they can
use it for whatever purpose they want. So that's what happened,
and he wanted this guy was such a nice guy
by paying the military salary one hundred and seventy million

(42:33):
for a month, that he didn't want any credit. He
wanted it donate it anonymously. It was just a gift.
Didn't want to take any credit, so he did it anonymously.
And of course leave it up to fake news New
York Times all these things to go crazy trying to
figure out who it is. Some thought it would be
Elon Musk. You know, anybody's just got an extra one
hundred and seventy million in his pocket, changing can donate that.

(42:56):
That's like an Elon Musk at Jeff Bezos. Well, it
turned out they found out it was Timothy Mellon of
the banking family, the Mellon family, whose family's worth about
fourteen billion, so they can easily part with one hundred
and seventy million. But they printed his name all over
the place. Now, one reason he might now a he's
not a guy looking for any credit. You know, when

(43:19):
you make a charitable contribution, or you do something for
somebody or donate, you should never tell anybody, should never
take credit for it. It's the old George Steinbrenner rule.
If anybody knows about it besides you and the person
you did it for, then you did it for the
wrong reasons. They didn't run any credit. But also he
probably didn't want to get attacked by these crazy Trump

(43:41):
haters by the Trump derangement syndrome. No King's crowd. He
doesn't need them outside his house, picketing outside their business.
That's probably the other reason. So, hey, look at Kelsey
Grammar Frasier. Kelsey Grammer having a child, another kid, eighth child.

(44:01):
He's seventy years old. Now this gets a little complicated.
Seventy years old and he's having a baby, his eighth child.
There's seventy. So let's say the kid's fifteen and wants
to play catch with you, you'd be eighty five. You'd
be eighty eight. When the kid enters college, you'd be well,

(44:22):
you'd be ninety two when he graduates. I don't know.
The math doesn't quite work on this. Hey, we'll get
to the election coming up. The Dean himself, the best
campaign director of all ed Rollins, will talk to him
a little later about the campaign. Now, the problem is
Mamdanni has a total lead in every poll. Now, These

(44:43):
are not the greatest polls. These are these junkie college
polls and media polls, but they clearly show Mamdanni winning
a lot of the big, big, big donors who always
screw up every race, always get it wrong, pushing Cuomo
like crazy. The problem with Cuomo, you know, he was
really bad as governor. He did every far left woke,

(45:05):
kooky thing you could do. You know, took away bail,
no bail, no jail. He closed the prisons, he let
everybody out, He closed Indian Point. You could go on
and on all this crazy left wing stuff. If you
bring this up to anybody, they'll always excuse it. They'll say, well,
I mean he was he was just catering the left. Yeah,
well back then he was catering the left. Okay, that's

(45:27):
what he does. He caters to the left. It's going
to be worse this time because it's a it's a
much This whole cater to the left stuff is worse
today than back then because the far far left AOC
Mamdanni wing of the party has complete control. So if
you get into office, they're going to really come after you,
and he's going to cave to them again. Now Hakeem

(45:49):
Jefferies did not want to endorse Mamdanni, but these far
left people in the party that run things told him
will primary you if you don't endorse Mamdanni, which terrified him,
so he quickly endorsed mom Donnie. That's why they got
Schumer as a hostage. They've told him they'll primary him
right out of the race. So when Cuomo's in off,

(46:11):
he's got to assume he's gonna want to get reelected,
and they'll tell him we're gonna primary you if you
don't do this kind of stuff. So the same thing
happened when he was governor. So he did all this kooky,
far left, crazy left wing kind of stuff that caused
the crime wave that caused most of our problems today.

(46:31):
So that's the problem if you get Cuomo in office,
he always caves to those people. Hey, we'll take some
calls in a minute. Eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten is the number, eight hundred three to
two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Give woor a bree said on the iHeart radio app
to hear marximone and all the wr hosts in an instance.
Now back to the Marximo Show on woor.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh, let's
go to Danny and Parsipity, New Jersey. Danny, How you
doing good?

Speaker 11 (47:06):
Mark?

Speaker 12 (47:06):
Good?

Speaker 17 (47:06):
Mark? I just really hope that these cities are ready
for the chaos that's gonna ensue once they cut off
these SNAP benefits for forty million people on Saturday. Snap benefits,
the Snap benefits, the EVT and the food stamps. Oh yeah,
for people out there, and I'm sure they're going to
go shopping on their own. They got to feed their kids.

(47:28):
So I hope the cities are ready for it because
they're gonna neat food for their kids.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
All right, Well, we'll see what happens. You never know,
this could get settled before that. That's Saturday. This is Tuesday.
There's still time. Let's go to Bob Mottvale, New Jersey. Bob,
how you doing good?

Speaker 6 (47:44):
Hell are you?

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Mark?

Speaker 15 (47:44):
Thanks for taking my call, but you know I couldn't help.
But notice you guys are running a new commercial on
the air there about NBC News and it's just it's
kind of funny how it's like false advertisements.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
What do you mean?

Speaker 15 (47:57):
It says fair balance and not opinionated, And why you
got Nicole Wallace state in that well, no.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
That's not, that's not, that's not, that's not has nothing
to do with NBC News. Nicole Wallace, MSNBC is totally
separate now, separate company.

Speaker 15 (48:09):
I understand that, but it's like the same you're going
to see. They're going to fall in line with that,
but it's totally kind of not like truthful advertising.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
I think, well, you know, uh, I'm not here to
defend NBC News, but most of our sponsors are really good.
We actually turned down sponsors on the show if we
don't think they're very good. But I understand, in general
is money.

Speaker 15 (48:33):
I understand.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
No, in general advertising, let's say a certain car company
runs ads all over TV. They're not going to say
it's okay, it's not a great car. You could probably
get a better car. But then they.

Speaker 6 (48:44):
Don't say that you got I understand.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Yeah, And and you know, they think they're fair and
they think they're balanced. But you know, we check out
sponsors very carefully. We make sure they got the money.
And then now actually we're pretty fussy about sponsors. But
NBC News just remember MSNBC no longer connected with NBC.
They were thrown the hell out. They've been evicted from

(49:09):
the building. They're moving to temporary studios in Times Square.
Look for the same thing, by the way, to happen
to CNN. You know, there's this big conglomerate, their own CBS.
They're looking to buy Warner Brothers Discovery, which will include CNN. Now,
the reason they want to buy it. It has the
third biggest streaming service, Warner Brothers has the biggest movie studios,

(49:29):
all this stuff. They want, HBO, all this stuff. But
when they buy it, watch the same thing will happen
with CNN. They'll throw it out of the company, they'll
spin it off just to get rid of it. It's useless.
Let's go to Kevin in Charlotte. Kevin, how you doing Hi?

Speaker 18 (49:44):
Good morning Mark. How come nobody has asked Mandami to
name a truly affordable major Western city in the world.
By their nature, they're never going to be affordable. It's
just going to be less bad. It's not going to
ever be affordable.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Yeah. No, Well nobody asks because it's the media, and
they're all Democrats, and they're all secretly pushing from Mamdani.
It's a problem when you have slanted media, partisan media.
They never ever, ever, ever asked the guy any tough questions. Yeah,
you know, that's the other argument if it's not affordable.
Many times the reasons something's not affordable, it's because it's

(50:22):
so great and everybody wants it. You know, like a
Rolex watch is not that affordable because it's the best
watch made and everybody wants one, and you got a
one year waiting list, So it's not so affordable. One
reason in some cities are very affordable, nobody wants to
live there and it costs nothing to live there because
everybody moved out. When your affordability crisis is there, it

(50:44):
means it means people are coming in here spending millions
to live here. Let's go to Bonnie and Tom's River. Bonnie,
how you.

Speaker 19 (50:52):
Doing, Hi, good morning. I have a question to ask
you about Mondani. If he can, it's into office and
they prove that there's dark money involved and they replace him.
Who is he replaced with?

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Well, they can remove him, believe it or not. Even
if he wins, there's still a chance he'll never serve.
If they can trace that dark foreign money to him,
show that he knew about it and took foreign money,
they can remove him, he will not be the mayor.
I think then we end up with the public advocate,
who's Jimani Williams, who's no bargain either, but better than
mon Donnie. And then I would I'm pretty sure there

(51:28):
would then be a special election. Let me go through
this again, and now, Bonnie, if he's elected, can we
all move to Thomas River. What's good down there?

Speaker 20 (51:41):
Ja?

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Oh okay, yeah, well good luck with that. We hope,
we hope he wins in New Jersey. Let's go to
Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich. How you doing?

Speaker 12 (51:51):
Hey?

Speaker 20 (51:51):
Thanks?

Speaker 6 (51:52):
Mark.

Speaker 20 (51:52):
You know, if you had a perfect world, you'd have
an eighty percent turnout on tomorrow and then you'd have
a Curtis win. But you know this Mom character, They
got more of him all over the country. This is
a litmus test for the country, and they're going to
try to take over some of these cities like the
London they had did with and allow all the Muslims everybody.
And then they just got plenty more. Mom Donnie's just

(52:13):
waiting to see how this one turns out.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah. Supposedly Soros and company have twenty six more Mom
Donnis lined up to run in various cities. If you
want to see how bad it gets, look at Chicago,
look at London. They've already gone through this disastrous experiment. Oh,
let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Good.

Speaker 12 (52:30):
Morning, Malcolm. Okay, I agree with you. I believe the
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree should be an artificial tree because
all these environmentalists they never speak about what about all
the animals that have lived in those trees, the birds
and the other animals for a million years, And now
all of a sudden they don't have a house, And

(52:50):
where do they go? Mark to the first call of
the reason why all our top big cities, they're all
usually democrat, are so unaffordable, you think, guys, thank the
state and local governments with all the freebies there they're
giving away. And speaking of Mondamie, I'm already looking at
real estate in old saybrook Madison, Connecticut. Vincent, No, no, no,

(53:16):
that would just be my place to blow off steam. Mark,
I'm already. I'm seriously, I'm already looking.

Speaker 7 (53:22):
I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
You're an orook type of guy.

Speaker 7 (53:26):
Nah.

Speaker 12 (53:26):
I mean, look, I the sound isn't far away. I
could go fishing.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Nah, I could see you in Fairfield County, but old
saybrook gets way out there. They got one sort of
nice hotel with a restaurant on the water, but.

Speaker 12 (53:39):
They got a nice rest really.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Yeah, there's not much going on. There's a couple of
It wouldn't be for you, all.

Speaker 12 (53:45):
Right, Mark, This is one other question. How does Bill
O'Reilly know unless it's an exit poll, which people coldly on,
how did they How does he know that Manhattan Queens
and Brooklyn are going for Mondami because if they released
those results, oh they're breaking sixty percent from a dommy central,

(54:05):
et cetera, that would have disincentivize other people from going out.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
And yeah, well he's just there are people doing exit
polling and it's coming from the campaign. So but you're right,
it's not the most reliable. Of course you co lie
on it, Yeah don't.

Speaker 12 (54:17):
I'm sure you wouldn't tell somebody who you'd say just
the opposite, just to screwed them up.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Yeah, so that's not always the most reliable method. But
we do know one thing, Vincent, thanks for calling, great call.
We do know one thing. Turnout is five times normal,
so we could get to something like nineteen ninety three. Uh,
was it ninety three or eighty nine. Yeah, the first
time Juliani ran, he lost to dnk It. Second time,

(54:43):
the turnout was incredible. Second time, incredible turnout, and it
just barely put him over the top. So same thing
with Curtis. This is his second time. Anyway, when we
come back to Dean himself, the best political analyst of all,
he's run more campaigns successfully than anyone. We'll talk to
Ed Rollins next on seven to ten W R.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Houstern, New York, Mark Simone.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Wor Well, let's talk to the Dean himself. Ed Rollins
has run the most successful campaigns in the history of
American politics, and he's with us now. Ed Rollins, how
you doing.

Speaker 6 (55:19):
Good morning, Mark, I'm good to go.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Yeah. So turnout now reported to be five hundred percent
above usual turnout. What does that mean?

Speaker 6 (55:30):
This is great, great animosity towards Mondomi by older voters
and great enthusiasm by younger voters. So he's exactly what
it says. People are out there turning out, voting early,
and I think to a certain extent, could be a
record turnout.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Yeah, is this good? This early voting, people voting. You
know a lot of people like might have missed some
of the things that are developing this week. Should there
be this much early.

Speaker 6 (55:57):
Yeah, I think both sides. You're trying to get the
early voting because obviously part of why Trump lost the
first time the second time when he was running for
election was because they didn't do as much focus on
early voting. It's very much a part of the game today,
and in a city like this, particularly where there's no
state wide organization in here, getting getting volunteers to go

(56:19):
out turn on the vote is important. So I always
tell people whenever you get your ballot, whenever you're ready
to vote, go vote. Don't delay it now.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
You gotta remember we got the Democratic candidate, and Curtis
is the Republican candidate. Cuomo is a third party candidate.
You ran third party is well, you ran the most
successful third party campaign in history, the ross Boro campaign. Uh.

Speaker 6 (56:43):
Well, it would have been more successful if Trump, if
prol would have stayed in the race. You know, he
dropped out and came back again. But away, there's there's
certainly in this this is very Democrat city obviously, and
I think to a certain extent me having a Democrat
nomination and the mine is very important to find Cromo.

(57:06):
And you look at your ballot, it is going to
have se ballants. I mean Clomo's way buried. Didn't see
that it will find him. Yeah, and you still have
you still have the mayor and mayors. Even though he's
dropped out, he's still there, so he'll get some votes.
But right now it's clear it's it's a close race.
It's ten points to what the latest pools show. That's
probably with the private poll show, and that's a competitive race.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Yeah. The only thing I don't think that we're looking
at these junk polls, these college polls, media polls, public polls.
I don't think there's any actual internal polling being done.
Clomo's not spending the money, Curtis isn't, so how do
we really know.

Speaker 6 (57:43):
Well, we won't know two elections there to do it. Yeah, yeah,
I mean I agree totally with you. There's too there's
too much, too much polling, and it's not accurately put together.
This is the city, Tell tell me where the votes are.
Tell me where Clmo's votes are. Is Colman doing well
in Staten Island? They're not doing well with State Island?
Still well State Island. Then he's got his part of

(58:03):
his base covered. But older voters clearly will be a
Coma voters, and young voters are clearly going to be
Mondammi's voters. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
So if you guy like Coloma and you're ten points
behind and you got one week left, what do you
do that final week? How do you how do you
handle that?

Speaker 6 (58:16):
Well? You get your ass out there in campaign. You know,
he's got some negative commercials, but there's not much selling him.
I think to a certain extent, people got it parly
little way of copa know how to do the job.
I've seen very few of his commercials. I've seen tons
of Hommi's commercials that.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Whole He's never managed anything, he's never run a large organization.
How effective is that with voters?

Speaker 6 (58:43):
Doesn't mean anything. It means something to the older voters.
You know, if you're if you're going to fix up
of those manages you picked the mayor, and mayor just
finished still managing trying to manage the city, and certainly
Calmo did. Colman didn't end on a high note. So
I think to a certain extent, you know, it's two personalities.
It's the danger of the young guy who's claims to

(59:06):
be a socialist in the old guard old guard throughly
the young versus the old guard.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Hey, the idea of Cuomo running, have you ever seen
this before where a guy leaves office in disgrace and scandal.
It's a total disaster, and then five minutes later he's
running again. Have you ever seen that before?

Speaker 6 (59:22):
It's happened. It's not the actual pattern to get the like.
But you know, I think my disappointment in Clomo is that,
you know, he's run campaigns, he knows how goes the
city will and knows the steavewell, and yet he's run
kind of a mediocre campaign. And the idea that you
take time off when you get on a race late
is you know, ten days he didn't campaign at all

(59:43):
is systems sir?

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Yeah. And the idea of pushing Curtis out of the race, now,
you ran the biggest third party campaign rossbro. Were they
trying to do that? Were they trying to push him
out of the race back?

Speaker 20 (59:53):
Then?

Speaker 6 (59:54):
Absolutely, but they do aren't successful. They put a lot
of a lot of pressure on me. But at the
end of the day it did back.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
And the same thing, like the big big money donors
all get ganging up.

Speaker 6 (01:00:08):
Doesn't mean anything. I mean, you know, if you think
Mondamini's people are going to go drop out of the
race for go vote for some mouse because big big
money guys are in, there is just the opposite. That's
that's their message to the messages. The big big money
guys aren't going to run the city.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Yeah, all right, Ed Rollins. Nobody has seen more campaigns
more racist than you. You got more experience than anybody
at this stuff. Is it possible the polls have just
gotten this entirely wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:00:36):
I wouldn't say they got it totally wrong. I would
say that there's momentum going now towards towards CMO that
may all alter the race. You always got to remember,
polls are four or five points off just simply by
the the statistics, So the race could be almost even now,
I would I'm not predicting that, but I think I think,

(01:00:56):
I think to a certain extent CLMO. CLMO has it
still as a shot.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Yeah. Now, there is a certain amount of cheating, and
the even the Democrats will acknowledge that, you know, a
little funny business with the machines that they'll argue it's
only one percent or two percent, but could that make
a difference because that helped Mom Donnie.

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
One or two percent can make a difference. Yeah, it
comes down that closer. Very My sense is he's the
question now is he's certainly leadings to a ten point
lead the most recent public pool, the suffect pool. But
is that is that going to is going to get
closer to fifty? Is closer to fifty than survey. Curtis's
wilde is going to have a big impact. Curtis's vote

(01:01:36):
has dropped off some hu but it's still still a
twelve percent, which is enough to change it. It's a
three way race and not a two way race.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Now the way that Mam Donnie could have been defeated.
You need to bombard everybody with negative ads about Mom
Donnie just stay and night. When it's usually the big donors,
the packs that do that. Where were they? They weren't
here in this race.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
There's some but they're not they're not clear. That's not
there's not one or two issues. Uh, I mean, there's
there's fifteen different issues. And they've tried to make it
too much about racial things that they now have they
now have them. You know, his constituents all worked up
so you know, And I think the thing the investment,
they interest me, all sees support, they understand Pernie Sanders

(01:02:19):
coming in here. Uh. And I think to a certain extent,
these young voters are unhappy with what's going on and
they turn them on.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Hey, it's the best campaign manager ever. What is mom?
Donnie's secret? Is it the way he talks, the way
he looks, the very very charismic.

Speaker 6 (01:02:35):
I mean I've watched him quite a few times. I
watched the debates. He's very charismatic. You know, call him
a socialist doesn't doesn't mean any what's the socialist? You
have to go to find that, and you have to
you know, they've argued his inexperience, Well, he had thirty
four years old. Most of these young people that are
going for him don't have a lot of experience. So
that's not the issue. The issue is can you get
the job done? Is to take the city in the

(01:02:56):
direction you want to go? Uh? And these people want
to change.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Yeah. Now, if he wins, Yeah, if he wins, will
we get will we get through this? Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
Sure, sure we've had we've had bad majors before. But
it's certainly gonna certainly gonna have an impact on the
city again, quality quality of life for a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Yeah, and now Donald Trump, you wouldn't recommend him coming
in endorsing Curtis or Cuomo or anything like that. He
might have a negative effect. In democratic.

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
He clearly could have negative effects.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
So huh. You know what about I've pitched this but
it got turned out. What about him endorsing mom Donnie?
You think that could hurt mom, Donnie?

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
That would hurt the young people think there's a plot,
plot scheming that this is always a Trump put plot.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
So yeah, well the idea was quickly rejected.

Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
Yes, the dia is cast.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
All right, well, Ed Rollins, we'll check with you again.
Thanks for the wisdom.

Speaker 6 (01:03:57):
And get out, Get out and vote. That's the key thing. Yeah,
take your candidate, get out and vote, and learn something
about your candidate before you vote. Want.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Yeah, that's important. Everybody, get out and vote, Ed Rolins,
we'll talk to you again soon. Thanks for being with us. Great,
all right, take care. Yeah, well that's important. Get out
and vote. Hey, now, besides this mayoral race, this is important.
You got to get rid of if you're in Manhattan,
you got to get rid of this da Alvin Bragg,
who lets all the criminals out. He believes in no

(01:04:26):
jail for criminals. First day in office, he put that
out in a memo, we will not seek carceral sentences.
In other words, so we're not going to put people
in jail. You've got to get rid of this Alvin Bragg.
If you're in Manhattan, vote for Maud Marrin. She's a
Republican candidate. She'll turn the DA's office back into law enforcement,
putting prisoners, criminals in prison. That'll help if you get

(01:04:49):
Mom Donnie, So make sure you vote for Maud maren
Also the city council get rid of as many Democrats
replace some of the Republicans. This is a good buffer
against anything Mom Donnie could do. So you can get
out and vote. Very important. Do it today, do it tomorrow.
Get out and vote as soon as you can. Don't
forget coming up at noon, Buck and Clay, great show

(01:05:09):
right here on seven to ten WR mister.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
New York mar Simone, he's on sevent ten.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Woor Well, hey, what exactly is that Cuomo momentum? Well,
the latest poll is it's one of these college poles.
They're not that great. But Cuomo had been twenty points behind.
It shows him rising up to ten points behind. Well,
still not great. Ten points behind is ten points behind.
One thing that's interesting if you dig into the metrics

(01:05:39):
in the poll, if Curtis were to get out, only
thirty six percent of his voters would go to Cuomo
according to this poll, Suffolk County Suffolk University poll. So
if you add that thirty six percent of Curtis's voters,
that gives Cuomo another four points. So if he got
Curtis out of the race, he would still lose by

(01:06:00):
six points according to the poll. But we still got time.
It looks like about twenty five thirty percent of the
voters in in early voting. We'll update you tomorrow. We'll
have even more information about it tomorrow. So be listening
then now don't go away. Buck and Clay are coming
up next with an excellent show at noon. Then you
got Sean Hannity, most listened to radio show in America

(01:06:21):
at three, Jesse Kelly. At six, you got Jimmy Fayla
does a great show every night nine to midnight. He'll
be here at nine. I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon,
and I'll talk to you then on seven ten wr
