Speaker 1 (00:00):
Marni seventeen w momar, Well, it's Friday, now tomorrow Saturday,
and it's the first day of early voting mayoral race.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The election actually begins tomorrow. Voting starts tomorrow and it
goes for ten days. Get out there and vote. Vote
for Curtis. We think he'd be the best mayor. But
tomorrow is the first day. Well, we'll get back to
the Merril race. Now, the shutdown has been on for
two weeks. This is the big payday normally for government employees.
(00:33):
They're going to miss a payday to day, and they
tried to take votes every day to what they want
to do. Republicans sign what do they call that? A
clean cry? They've all this jargon, but what it means
is they'd extend the talks. He signed this thing and
it extends everything for seven weeks. That gives you a
chance to negotiate. Every time they bring this up for
(00:53):
a vote, Democrats voted down. They don't want the extension.
President Trump tries to explain.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I think the Democrats have gone totally crazy, and you
don't know what they're gonna do because they don't care
about the people they I really think they have no leadership.
They have a lot of very low IQ people.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, you do have some low IQ people. You got
a lot of those aocs. But the real problem is
no leadership. You don't have a clear leader. In the
good old days, it was somebody like Chuck Schumer. Now
he's like an old, washed up has been who's so terrified.
He knows it's over, he knows he can't run for reelection.
AOC has already out raised him like ten to one
(01:35):
in money, and then you got Hakeem Jefferies is not
really a leader. He's trying to be. He's trying to
look serious and look like he has some gravitas, but
not pulling it off at all. So without the leadership,
they can't seem to get anything done. And that's another
problem the Republicans have. There's really nobody to negotiate with.
Schumer is not free to even be Schumer. He's just
(01:56):
so terrified of the left. And that's the problem. So
we'll see, we'll see what happens. You know, this all
started over the healthcare stuff, and it was all caused
by the Obamacare prices going crazy. They were just getting
out of control, and they've got to be something's got
to be done to get them back under control. The
premiums are just going through the roof. Everything has gone crazy.
(02:20):
You remember what they called Obamacare, Remember what the original
name was, the Affordable Care Act. It was supposed to
start that way, but the prices on it went up
like seven hundred percent and it's unaffordable now. You remember
the other thing that was billed as is you like
your doctor, you can keep your doctor. You like your plan,
you can keep your plan. Well, nobody ever saw their
(02:40):
doctor again. All of a sudden, you're in some weird network.
Everybody lost their plan that was under it. It's just
a mess. It needs to be fixed by both sides.
But somebody's got to give in and sign that extension.
It gives you a few more weeks to talk about it. Hey,
this big NBA scandal. You know, I like Steven A,
(03:02):
but sometimes he can say the dumbest things. You know,
he looks like a smart guy and he's always well
dressed and articked, and then every so of he just
says the dumbest stuff. So he's getting a lot of
flack from yesterday because he I don't know what he
was thinking this whole NBA scandal. He was trying to
blame it on Trump. He said, it's Trump that caused this,
(03:23):
it's retribution from Trump cash Brittel, FBI director, he said,
it's about the dumbest comment he's ever heard. This investigation
was started by Joe Biden's administration. The Trump administration just inherited.
It's been going on for about two years. Trump's only
been there whatever it is, eight months, nine months. But again,
(03:44):
this whole it's operation whatever the hell they call it,
it's a Biden era investigation. Most of it done during
the Biden era, so that nothing to do with Trump whatsoever.
Stephen A. Smith, but he hasn't apologized, he hasn't said
it about it yet. Hey, another good thing in New
York if this works, if they actually do this, there's
(04:06):
they've announced a crackdown on e bikes, those electronic bikes
you got it's just chaos in the streets. When it
was all cars, the it was just cars and all
car lanes, you would get bikes riding along the very
edge by the curb, which was that was a safer system.
(04:26):
Now you got bike lanes in the middle of the street,
you got e bikes, you got scooters. You got those
what do you call those things? Those petticabs all over
the place. It's an absolute mess. It's total chaos and
no rules. It's just total chaos. Bikes going through lights,
going the wrong way, going on the sidewalk. You got
to start cracking down on this. So step number one.
(04:47):
There's now a fifteen mile an hour speed limit on
e bikes and they claim they'll enforce this. Now, if
they do, two things will happen. Those bikes will start
to have to behave themselves instead of running lights, being
all over the road and speeding. If that's true, and
they start cracking down giving tickets, they'll have to do that.
And the other thing that'll happen is you'll start generating
(05:10):
a ton of revenue because they go city always claiming
they need more revenue. Crack down on the e bikes,
the petty cabs, speeding, tickets, running lights, running all over
the place. It's a ton of revenue. You could probably
get rid of that congestion pricing. But let's see if
they do it. Let's see if they really crack down. Also,
make all those bikes and everything get licenses. It's another
(05:31):
source of revenue. You have to pay for a license
every year. Now, speaking of congestion pricing, you'll notice in
the debate, Mom Donnie said he would keep the congestion pricing.
Is all for it. But you'll notice Cuomo said that too.
I guess he thought he had to since he created it.
He's the guy that gave us congestion pricing. He's the
one that pushed it through, got it passed, and then
(05:54):
Hokel used it. But he said he would keep it.
He's all for it. Mayoral race, I don't know. Eric
Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo. He says he'll go out and
campaign with him. I don't know how much that helps.
Adams was in single digits, but he's gonna fight for Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Am I angry that I'm not the one taking down Zoran,
the socialists and the communists. You're dawn right, I am,
but you know what the city means more to me
than anything, and it is time for us as a
family to come together.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, it's on principle, But on the other hand, remember
there were massive, big, big donors with billions of dollars
trying to spread it around, trying to do whatever they
could to help Cuomo, get Curtis out, whatever, Who knows,
who knows why Adams is suddenly on board? Who knows?
Corrupt birds of a feather flock to get That's cursed
about that.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Anybody who was going to vote for Rick Adams I
have to wonder with they've.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Been these last four years because he is the most
corrupt man in the history.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Of New York. So, Hey, Andrew Plumbo, you could have whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Vote she had.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I don't ever want Rik Adams boots.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Now, you gotta admit Adams when he took office put
in some of the sleaziest people. The first few years
of the Adams administration, in fact, how many of them
got indicted, how many of them got arrested, how many
of them are going to trial? It was pretty bad.
But the last year Adams straightened out and it became
pretty good. He brought in Randy Mastro to be the
(07:28):
deputy mayor running things. Mastro is great. You couldn't ask
for a better guy to run city hall. He was
Giuliani's guy for eight years. And then he brought in
Jessica Tish, excellent police commissioner. And under the first few
years of Adams there was tremendous corruption in the NYPD
at very high levels, but Jessica Tish came in and
(07:50):
cleaned it out. It was about ten or fifteen people
and she fired him all, some of them pretty big people.
But she immediately give her credit cleaned it up. So Adams,
the last six months things have been fine. Now Cuomo
has said he will keep Jessica Tish, and Mom Donnie
shocked a lot of people in the debate by saying
he will keep Jessica Tish. If that's the case, that
(08:12):
would reassure a lot of people. But if you go
back and play the video again and analyze it, he
didn't exactly say he would definitely keep her. He said
he would consider keeping. There was some wiggle room in it.
There was some weasel room. And even if he said
I will ask her to stay on, well, what does
(08:33):
that mean for a week, for a month? Fire her
in six months? Obviously, if you had your own idea
for a commissioner, you would take office and she would
stay on until you're whoever your replacement is was ready.
So would she stay on? What you want to stay with?
Mom Donnie, Well, that's the problem. She did work under
Deblasio which was pretty bad, and she did take over
(08:56):
in the Atoms when things were still a mess there.
But she would stay on. But you never know. If
he starts interfering, if he starts tampering and things starts
restricting the police, she'd probably, knowing her, she would quit
on principle and not put up with it. Donald Trump Junior,
weighing in on Mom Donnie.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Perhaps it's exactly what we need as a country. You know,
you hate to see New York failure, the birthplace off
Wall Street, the birthplace of American capitalism, go down in flames.
But perhaps that's the lesson we all have to see.
If the rest of the country watches New York fail,
and I believe it will under these disastrous ideas, you know,
maybe that's what we need to stop the spread of
(09:35):
this scourge, of this disease of communism in America.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well he's not alone. I mean, I don't know about that,
but there's some people that think that it's better to
get Mom donnie. Let him be a total disaster. Everybody's
been trying to figure out what to do about the
Democratic this woke, crazy, insane, far left nonsense. Even a
lot of Democrats are trying to figure out how to
stop it. So maybe a total Mom Donni disaster. But
(10:02):
we've already tested it, we already watched it. It happened in Chicago,
it happened in San Francisco. It's happened all over the place,
and it doesn't seem to be a lesson that resonates anywhere.
From what I hear, you know, Mom Donnie is funded.
There's a lot of money funding Mom Donnie, a lot
of George Soros type money flowing in millions, many, many millions.
(10:23):
And from what I hear, they got another twenty six.
Mom Donnie's ready to go. They'll run them in other cities.
You know, they got them like a central training headquarters
where they like an academy where they train them how
to be like Mom Donnie, you know, be good in
the debates, say all the right stuff, have that slick look.
There's about twenty six, Mom Donnie's ready to go. So
(10:45):
this idea, let New York go up in flames. So
everybody sees it, learns their lesson. It's great, but not
for us. We're going to have to live through this
if it is, Mom Donnie. I just remember we got
through eight years at the Lazio. We made it through
the Blasio, so you never know. Mom Donnie was using that.
He's got a lot of commercials. Now you see more
(11:06):
and more commercials now. Last few weeks it was mostly
Curtis running TV commercials. Now it's everybody. But there's one
Mom Donnie commercial where it uses a New York Knicks
uniform with his name on it. It implies that there's
somehow there's a New York Knicks connection to Mom Donnie.
The New York Knicks have sued him. They've they got
a cease and desist order. They want him to stop
(11:28):
using their logo, their uniform or anything in the commercials.
They want nothing to nothing to do with them. You know,
there's a candidate in Long Island who's running for a
DA or something and there's some commercial from the opposition
tying her to Mom Donnie. So she's suing the GOP.
(11:50):
She wants nothing to do with Mom Donnie. I think
she's a Democrat. She just wants no connection. She's a
Democrat suing the GOP for trying to connect her in
any way to Mom Donnie. So again, he's very, very
unpopular with a lot of Democrats. Too. Hey, remember Bob Menendez.
Bob Menendez who went to jail. He's the senator with
(12:12):
the gold bars. We're recommending books today. There's a great
book that just came out. Isabelle Vincent, big, big investigative
reporter in New York Post, and she's written a lot
of great books. She's written books about all sorts of stuff.
But her new book is called gold Bar Bob. If
you want the real Bob Menendez story. And by the way,
(12:33):
if you're a movie producer, you might want to get
this book. It'd be a great movie. Gold Bar Bob
goes through the whole Menendez story. But you got to
read this because it takes you all through this New
Jersey mafia connection, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East,
the personal campaign contributions, the way he aided others, interfered
(12:54):
in criminal prosecutions, defrauded medicare questionable visa. It's fast senating stuff.
But take a look at this book. It's called gold
Bar Bob Downfall of the Most Corrupt US Senator. So
if you're in New Jersey you might want to read
or anyway, gold Bar Bob speaking in New Jersey looks
(13:14):
like it's tied. We don't have any definitive polling there,
but it's very, very close. Chitarelly just lost by a little.
Now here's the problem. Nothing personal in New Jersey, but
your voting system. There's a lot of funny business goes
on in New Jersey. Even Democrats I'm talking about the
(13:36):
insiders will tell you officials, people that know all this stuff.
You know, you can't win by one two percent. It
won't cover the cheating in the New Jersey voting system.
You got to win by like three, four or five
percent to cover that. So so far Chittarelly hasn't been
able to get that kind of lead. Hey, well, take
some calls in a minute eight hundred three to two
(13:58):
one zero seven ten. Oh and by the way, in
a few minutes, we'll talk to the greatest polster in
the world and see what he knows about the New
York race and New Jersey race. We'll get to all
of that coming up, but we'll take some calls next
eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

they like best buds. They could double date two eligible
Baptist Maybe Curtis could introduce them to tool.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, you gotta remember there's big billionaire donor money floating
around and helped Cuomo Adams. Well you do the math.
Let's go to Mara in Nevada.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
Mara, how you doing, marcam I'm calling about it a
gambling story, but first I want to welcome Christina. She
called the other day. She said she's ninety. She is
now a member of Marks Golden All these fantom here's
my gambling story. It's back in the fifties. My father
was retired. We go to Florida, work in a hotel
(16:11):
catering too Armenians. He was the busboy at the illegal
poker games that year and he brings sandwiches and things.
They tip them. That year he came home with the DeSoto,

guys that pulled to me favor here's the d to
my house, lent me three thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Man.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
My father thought, good, yeah, if I don't pay you

in Kendall, Florida, in six months.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Wow. Did he work with Moe Green or Afredo or.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
There could have been, but there were Armenians there, you know,
there's the Armenian mafia too.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
All right, well thanks for calling. Let's go to UH
Michael and Queen's Michael. How you doing?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Hello? How are you doing? You?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Hear me?
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Mark?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yea, yeah, go ahead, I want.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
To I just want to commend you a being the
only guy in New York City Monday when you got
it right when you said that the survey, that poll
that everybody was basing UH that Curtis back out of
was based by and run by lobbyist Homo. I congratulate you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And he only do we get do we bleep that
out and then stop picking on him? He's our friend.
Let's go to UH Sandy in West New York, New Jersey.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Good morning, Yes, Mark, I wanted to tell you that
I learned.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
That the UH. The first of all, I want to say,
the Orthodox Jews are very concerned about this selection, very
much so that oh it's this Sandy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Sorry. Let's go to uh uh Anthony and Edison Anthony.
She always disguises himself.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
The Democrats over here in New Jersey. Quick delay Trump
out saying that he spikedly handled this gateway project. I'm
gonna you got to give me the stinty on that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, he canceled the gateway project. This is part of
fighting back in the shutdown. It's canceled until it's uncanceled.
End the shutdown, start negotiating, and the Gateway project is back.
And that's the way Trump does things. He starts the
negotiation by taking away something. It just gives him more
(18:24):
power than negotiation. You know, you go into the negotiation saying, well,
if it gets really bad, I'll threaten to soothe him
if it gets really bad. Now what Trump does. He
sues you before he even shows up, so the lawsuit
is on. Then he goes into the negotiation and he's
(18:46):
got some leverage he can offer to drop the suit.
It's just the way he negotiates, and he's been very
successful at it. Let's go to Fran in Massapequa. Fran,
how you doing, my man mark?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
How you people to keep up the great work. You're
a beacon of truth.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Oh right, there's gonna be a button here.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah, no, no bucks.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
I want to know why when they showed the No
Kings march and most of the liberal protests. There are
a lot of white, fat liberal women, young pinkhead you know, girlies,
and some boys.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
People keep asking that how come it was so white,
so old that no Kings march. You gotta remember, these
are older. It's these are people have nothing to do
all day. They're not working, they've they've got nothing going on,
they're retired, They're sitting at home all day getting old
riled up. They're watching MSNBC and CNN. You know the
average age of the MSNBC viewer. I think it's seventy
(19:49):
two now, No, seriously, and uh, it's an older, older,
older crowd that march.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
You know, if you're younger, you got more going on.
You're busy. You know, I don't have time to go
to a No King's March. So it was a very
old crowd and they put on those crazy costumes and
the whole thing. It just looked like Halloween at the
Senior Center. It was just absolutely ridiculous. Hey, when we
come back, we haven't had any real polls in this race.
(20:16):
There's these junk college polls and these little nothing polling
companies you never heard of. We'll talk to the greatest
polster in the world. Next on seven to ten WR,
let's get.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Back to the Mark Simone Show on wo on.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Well, you know, you see these media polls, college polls,
They're all terrible, just these junk poles you see polling
companies you never heard of. The biggest and best poster
in the world is John McLaughlin. This is the one
presidents and prime ministers and the biggest campaigns use. John
McLaughlin has. The website is McLaughlin online dot com and
(20:55):
he's with us. Now, John McLachlin, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
I'm doing well because you say very nice, flattering things.
But I'm fortunate that I've polled for Donald Trump. And
as you and I have discussed before, President Trump proved
that polls rite a long time ago in twenty sixteen
and has done so since. So I guess, yeah, we'll
see about well, now he's talking you know, some of
(21:19):
his friends that talking to him about twenty twenty eight.
We'll see. Well, so I think I think, yeah, I
don't think that's I don't think that's going to happen.
So that's I get to listen to the nice things
people say about our polls, because last year we said
he was going to sweep his battleground states and when
the popular vote and he proves that true.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, just explain to people these public polls they're cheap, flimsy.
They're like five hundred people, a thousand people. That's not
always likely voters. I mean, what you do is much
more scientific, elaborate, much much bigger scale. So but we
haven't had a real poll from a real what they
call the internals by any of the campaigns. Have we
(22:00):
really And when.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
You're looking at I mean when you look at national polls,
like they've gone back to their biased against the president
and they're kind of right. It could be I legal immigrant,
they have cell phones. I mean, it's serious. Some of
these polls, like there was a poll out last week Economists.
You go of online, so there's an online poll and
they had when you go into their internals, they have
(22:22):
more liberal it's so wrong. They have more liberals and conservatives.
That's the opposite of the exit poles from West November.
And they have more Democrats and Republicans. Again it's the
opposite of the exit polse. The big killer is this
Economists Ugo poland was done like the October twentieth they
and they had that they had like twelve hundred people,
(22:44):
but they're supposedly you know, adults, but they had only
thirty five percent Trump voters. We got fifty percent. So
when they come out with a job approval for President
Trump of forty three percent, it means they're short as
fifty points just they had because nine out of ten
(23:04):
Trump voters still approved the job he's doing at least,
if not one hundred percent. So you get so just
add fifteen to the forty three, that'd be fifty eight.
So the better polls have them like we had in September,
we had a forty nine percent for forty six disapproved.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
We had the.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Republicans winning for Congress forty seven to forty one. But
it was a thousand likely voters. We know the voters
were contacting the voters. We're asking them how likely they
are to vote, because it's a big difference because in
the last national election you had our hundred sixty million
people vote apart me, one hundred and fifty six million
people voted. It was one hundred and sixteen twenty twenty,
(23:43):
So that's out of a universe of you know, like
two hundred and fifty two hundred and sixty adults in
the United States. And then when you get to when
you get to the midterm elections, the midterm the elections
go even further. So in twenty eighteen, one hundred and
eighteen million people come out, and in twenty twenty two
(24:06):
it was one hundred and twelve million. So nationally, when
you're saying a thousand likely voters trying to represent a universe,
it's the universe of probably about one hundred and ten
one hundred and twenty million voters that are probably going
to come out, and poles really don't predict turnout. You
have to look at other barometers when you get close
to the election.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well, now let me ask you about the mayoral race.
I know you haven't pulled it. Nobody's really pulled. No
real top polling companies done this mayoral race. But what
is your sense right now? Is Mom Donnie on track
to win? Has he been losing steam? Is Cuomo gaining?
Speaker 6 (24:38):
By the way, we did poland January for Betsy McCoy
first her Save our City project, and back then we
had only thirty one percent of the Democrat parwer voters
preferring Cuomo. And when you have the second choice, cause
that grant choice voter was only five. So I told Betsy,
he's not going to win. It's just and it seemed
(24:59):
to be right for the primary, but Mondomie hadn't emerged.
And when you look at it, like the Fox News
pole that came out, and it was like October fourteenth
was the day that came out. The difficult part is
Mondomie's the most favorable of the candidates, so they had
Mondomi ahead, but he had a fifty eight to thirty
seven farewell unfairwell, while Cuomo in that poll was fifty
(25:22):
to forty eight and Curtis was thirty six to fifty
three farewell to unfarewell. And then there was the ar
the AA RP pole, which was one thousand and forty
likely voters that got them did and it was mild
after the last male race was kind of a snoozer
with Adams and so you only had a million people.
(25:45):
So you know, when you think about it in the city,
you could have one point eight million voted. When I
was pulling for Leeze Eldon and we were in a
close race with Hockel, there was one point eight million
people came out in the city, or when I was
polling for President Trump, they had two and a half million.
Peace will come out in those races, you know, Lee
and President Trump did as well as a Republican could
(26:06):
do in the city where we got thirty percent. And
so this aar P pole. When you're looking at it,
it's probably tilted, it's probably too old and may not
be democratic enough. Yeah it yeah in it, but they
have they had. That's the one that caused the stir
where you had the three where you had a Mandamie
(26:27):
at forty three in Cuoma twenty nine and Curtis at nineteen.
So Curtis is running behind where Trump and Zelden were,
but in the two way. That's because it was an
older sample, maybe a little light on the Democrats. It
was forty five Mandami forty one Cuomo, and that's when
they all started. Curtis got to get out now, Curtis
needs to be Curtis and Cuomo needed to be going
(26:49):
after Mundami in a heavy way since all summer. They
should have been, but they've been. You know, these all
these people like you say, the billionaires who don't know
what they're doing, been playing musical chairs, saying, oh this
once you get out this, once you get out the
problem is when you look at the internals of that poll,
Mondammie is a net positive forty eight to forty five
(27:10):
faarble to unfavorable, and Curtis is thirty five fairuell forty
seven unfairal So he's a net negative and Cuomo's a
net negative thirty seven faarabele to forty eight unfavorable.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
But now you said, yeah, but you said, way back
months ago, you said, the only way to stop mom Donnie,
You're going to have to have them bombard the airwaves
with negative ads, bring out his negatives, drive up his unfavorables.
Where were the donors. They didn't do it, none of
the packs. Where were they.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
No, by the way, I don't use the word negative
issue adds issue ads, but where were they They They sat,
they set it out, Well, it's cheaper that way, it
don't It didn't cost him anything. I mean, Cuomo wastes
a lot of their.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Money in the primary.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
And now now you know, but you have you know,
like we were in President Trump's campaign, the contrast between
his job as president versus Biden and Harris the job
they had done, and people respond to issues. Now you're
seeing you know, kitchen sink ads coming out about Mundomie's
positions on the issues. About legalizing prostitution, it'll increase human trafficking.
(28:16):
He wants to legalize drugs, it'll increase drug use on
the subways. Him defunding the you know, closing jails, defund
By the way, the one who won the last two
mayoral debates is Bruce Blakeman in Nassau because works for
Bruce out there. Bruce has done a great job. He's
cut taxes, he's refused to raise taxes in four years.
(28:39):
He's hired hundreds of new police officers. They're the Savis
County in America and so Mondamie in Nasau County has
a twenty five favorable he has to sixty nine percent.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Right, there's no chance of Blakeman leasing we hope.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Well, he can't take it for granted. It's an eight
point Democrat county. So there's more Democrats in Nassau than
there are Republicans.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Everybody get out, Yeah, everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman. Well,
just about it. We got like a minute left. What
do you think is going to happen in this election?
Turnout wise, Well, we get a big turnout can make
a difference.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
You think we'll get it, Well on Saturday, they start tomorrow,
they start voting early, so you'll have actual counts of
people by party, by registration, by Burrow. And if it's
like the primary room, Mandmie's his nonprofits, that stores funds,
et cetera. If they start getting people online and voting,
that won't be good for Andrew Cuomo Curtis Leer. So
(29:32):
you know, so if you, if you, if you care
about New York City like we do, you need to
make sure that it's not just you know, the people
need MONDMI organization.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Can't you got to get out and vote. Hey, Clomo
had a pretty good debate. Surprised everybody? Does that mean anything?
Is that going to help? Is it too late?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
It definitely helps, And it's not too late until election day.
You got to you know, I mean it's bout forty
five forty one close. You know, granted, he's he's still
got to do a lot of issue education and a
short amount of time on Mondmie's on the on the
record between them and and and you know that's the
probably that's why Curtis still has has a significant amount
(30:15):
of the vote because there's a lot of people that
remember Cuomo was the guy who gave us cashless Vale
casas Bale has like been really bad for you. So
so as far as the election goes, you know, Clomo's
got to he's got to make up a lot of
ground against Mondamie where the final points could be the
toughest points to uh to recapture. And you've got you know,
(30:37):
and you got other races, like you've got more Maron
given Alvin Bragg, a race that's been you know, over
shadowed by the male race.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It would be great everybody votes for maud Maren for DA,
get rid of Alvin Bragg, maud Maren for DA. John McLoughlin,
we're out of time, but we'll do it again very
soon because we we always want to hear from you.
John mcloughlam the biggest of the best polster in the world.
McLaughlin Online dot Com is his website. John McLaughlin, thanks

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Thank you, Thank you, Mark.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Take care, Hey, don't forget. If you can't listen to

just for the podcast listeners. So it wherever you get
your podcasts, or you can just go to seven to
(31:30):
ten woor dot com to New York.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
He's on the Game to Mark Simone show on sevenen wor.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Well, I don't know what to tell you. Tomorrow, it
all starts. Early voting begins tomorrow. People start voting in
New York City tomorrow. Early voting for ten days. The
election is a week from Tuesday. It's about turnout. Just
get out there and vote. Get everybody out there to vote.
You know, Republicans have actually won five of the last
(32:01):
eight mayoral races. They can do it. It's a bad turnout,
you get a big, big turnout. It can happen. Hey,
we're out of time. I'll be back Monday, ten to noon.
Don't forget. If you're a podcast listener, if you listen

a whole extra show if you're a podcast listener wherever
(32:23):
you get your podcasts, But otherwise I'll see a Monday
at ten on seven to ten. Woar
Marni seventeen w momar, Well, it's Friday, now tomorrow Saturday,
and it's the first day of early voting mayoral race.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The election actually begins tomorrow. Voting starts tomorrow and it
goes for ten days. Get out there and vote. Vote
for Curtis. We think he'd be the best mayor. But
tomorrow is the first day. Well, we'll get back to
the Merril race. Now, the shutdown has been on for
two weeks. This is the big payday normally for government employees.
(00:33):
They're going to miss a payday to day, and they
tried to take votes every day to what they want
to do. Republicans sign what do they call that? A
clean cry? They've all this jargon, but what it means
is they'd extend the talks. He signed this thing and
it extends everything for seven weeks. That gives you a
chance to negotiate. Every time they bring this up for
(00:53):
a vote, Democrats voted down. They don't want the extension.
President Trump tries to explain.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I think the Democrats have gone totally crazy, and you
don't know what they're gonna do because they don't care
about the people they I really think they have no leadership.
They have a lot of very low IQ people.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, you do have some low IQ people. You got
a lot of those aocs. But the real problem is
no leadership. You don't have a clear leader. In the
good old days, it was somebody like Chuck Schumer. Now
he's like an old, washed up has been who's so terrified.
He knows it's over, he knows he can't run for reelection.
AOC has already out raised him like ten to one
(01:35):
in money, and then you got Hakeem Jefferies is not
really a leader. He's trying to be. He's trying to
look serious and look like he has some gravitas, but
not pulling it off at all. So without the leadership,
they can't seem to get anything done. And that's another
problem the Republicans have. There's really nobody to negotiate with.
Schumer is not free to even be Schumer. He's just
(01:56):
so terrified of the left. And that's the problem. So
we'll see, we'll see what happens. You know, this all
started over the healthcare stuff, and it was all caused
by the Obamacare prices going crazy. They were just getting
out of control, and they've got to be something's got
to be done to get them back under control. The
premiums are just going through the roof. Everything has gone crazy.
(02:20):
You remember what they called Obamacare, Remember what the original
name was, the Affordable Care Act. It was supposed to
start that way, but the prices on it went up
like seven hundred percent and it's unaffordable now. You remember
the other thing that was billed as is you like
your doctor, you can keep your doctor. You like your plan,
you can keep your plan. Well, nobody ever saw their
(02:40):
doctor again. All of a sudden, you're in some weird network.
Everybody lost their plan that was under it. It's just
a mess. It needs to be fixed by both sides.
But somebody's got to give in and sign that extension.
It gives you a few more weeks to talk about it. Hey,
this big NBA scandal. You know, I like Steven A,
(03:02):
but sometimes he can say the dumbest things. You know,
he looks like a smart guy and he's always well
dressed and articked, and then every so of he just
says the dumbest stuff. So he's getting a lot of
flack from yesterday because he I don't know what he
was thinking this whole NBA scandal. He was trying to
blame it on Trump. He said, it's Trump that caused this,
(03:23):
it's retribution from Trump cash Brittel, FBI director, he said,
it's about the dumbest comment he's ever heard. This investigation
was started by Joe Biden's administration. The Trump administration just inherited.
It's been going on for about two years. Trump's only
been there whatever it is, eight months, nine months. But again,
(03:44):
this whole it's operation whatever the hell they call it,
it's a Biden era investigation. Most of it done during
the Biden era, so that nothing to do with Trump whatsoever.
Stephen A. Smith, but he hasn't apologized, he hasn't said
it about it yet. Hey, another good thing in New
York if this works, if they actually do this, there's
(04:06):
they've announced a crackdown on e bikes, those electronic bikes
you got it's just chaos in the streets. When it
was all cars, the it was just cars and all
car lanes, you would get bikes riding along the very
edge by the curb, which was that was a safer system.
(04:26):
Now you got bike lanes in the middle of the street,
you got e bikes, you got scooters. You got those
what do you call those things? Those petticabs all over
the place. It's an absolute mess. It's total chaos and
no rules. It's just total chaos. Bikes going through lights,
going the wrong way, going on the sidewalk. You got
to start cracking down on this. So step number one.
(04:47):
There's now a fifteen mile an hour speed limit on
e bikes and they claim they'll enforce this. Now, if
they do, two things will happen. Those bikes will start
to have to behave themselves instead of running lights, being
all over the road and speeding. If that's true, and
they start cracking down giving tickets, they'll have to do that.
And the other thing that'll happen is you'll start generating
(05:10):
a ton of revenue because they go city always claiming
they need more revenue. Crack down on the e bikes,
the petty cabs, speeding, tickets, running lights, running all over
the place. It's a ton of revenue. You could probably
get rid of that congestion pricing. But let's see if
they do it. Let's see if they really crack down. Also,
make all those bikes and everything get licenses. It's another
(05:31):
source of revenue. You have to pay for a license
every year. Now, speaking of congestion pricing, you'll notice in
the debate, Mom Donnie said he would keep the congestion pricing.
Is all for it. But you'll notice Cuomo said that too.
I guess he thought he had to since he created it.
He's the guy that gave us congestion pricing. He's the
one that pushed it through, got it passed, and then
(05:54):
Hokel used it. But he said he would keep it.
He's all for it. Mayoral race, I don't know. Eric
Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo. He says he'll go out and
campaign with him. I don't know how much that helps.
Adams was in single digits, but he's gonna fight for Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Am I angry that I'm not the one taking down Zoran,
the socialists and the communists. You're dawn right, I am,
but you know what the city means more to me
than anything, and it is time for us as a
family to come together.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, it's on principle, But on the other hand, remember
there were massive, big, big donors with billions of dollars
trying to spread it around, trying to do whatever they
could to help Cuomo, get Curtis out, whatever, Who knows,
who knows why Adams is suddenly on board? Who knows?
Corrupt birds of a feather flock to get That's cursed
about that.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Anybody who was going to vote for Rick Adams I
have to wonder with they've.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Been these last four years because he is the most
corrupt man in the history.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Of New York. So, Hey, Andrew Plumbo, you could have whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Vote she had.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I don't ever want Rik Adams boots.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Now, you gotta admit Adams when he took office put
in some of the sleaziest people. The first few years
of the Adams administration, in fact, how many of them
got indicted, how many of them got arrested, how many
of them are going to trial? It was pretty bad.
But the last year Adams straightened out and it became
pretty good. He brought in Randy Mastro to be the
(07:28):
deputy mayor running things. Mastro is great. You couldn't ask
for a better guy to run city hall. He was
Giuliani's guy for eight years. And then he brought in
Jessica Tish, excellent police commissioner. And under the first few
years of Adams there was tremendous corruption in the NYPD
at very high levels, but Jessica Tish came in and
(07:50):
cleaned it out. It was about ten or fifteen people
and she fired him all, some of them pretty big people.
But she immediately give her credit cleaned it up. So Adams,
the last six months things have been fine. Now Cuomo
has said he will keep Jessica Tish, and Mom Donnie
shocked a lot of people in the debate by saying
he will keep Jessica Tish. If that's the case, that
(08:12):
would reassure a lot of people. But if you go
back and play the video again and analyze it, he
didn't exactly say he would definitely keep her. He said
he would consider keeping. There was some wiggle room in it.
There was some weasel room. And even if he said
I will ask her to stay on, well, what does
(08:33):
that mean for a week, for a month? Fire her
in six months? Obviously, if you had your own idea
for a commissioner, you would take office and she would
stay on until you're whoever your replacement is was ready.
So would she stay on? What you want to stay with?
Mom Donnie, Well, that's the problem. She did work under
Deblasio which was pretty bad, and she did take over
(08:56):
in the Atoms when things were still a mess there.
But she would stay on. But you never know. If
he starts interfering, if he starts tampering and things starts
restricting the police, she'd probably, knowing her, she would quit
on principle and not put up with it. Donald Trump Junior,
weighing in on Mom Donnie.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Perhaps it's exactly what we need as a country. You know,
you hate to see New York failure, the birthplace off
Wall Street, the birthplace of American capitalism, go down in flames.
But perhaps that's the lesson we all have to see.
If the rest of the country watches New York fail,
and I believe it will under these disastrous ideas, you know,
maybe that's what we need to stop the spread of
(09:35):
this scourge, of this disease of communism in America.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well he's not alone. I mean, I don't know about that,
but there's some people that think that it's better to
get Mom donnie. Let him be a total disaster. Everybody's
been trying to figure out what to do about the
Democratic this woke, crazy, insane, far left nonsense. Even a
lot of Democrats are trying to figure out how to
stop it. So maybe a total Mom Donni disaster. But
(10:02):
we've already tested it, we already watched it. It happened in Chicago,
it happened in San Francisco. It's happened all over the place,
and it doesn't seem to be a lesson that resonates anywhere.
From what I hear, you know, Mom Donnie is funded.
There's a lot of money funding Mom Donnie, a lot
of George Soros type money flowing in millions, many, many millions.
(10:23):
And from what I hear, they got another twenty six.
Mom Donnie's ready to go. They'll run them in other cities.
You know, they got them like a central training headquarters
where they like an academy where they train them how
to be like Mom Donnie, you know, be good in
the debates, say all the right stuff, have that slick look.
There's about twenty six, Mom Donnie's ready to go. So
(10:45):
this idea, let New York go up in flames. So
everybody sees it, learns their lesson. It's great, but not
for us. We're going to have to live through this
if it is, Mom Donnie. I just remember we got
through eight years at the Lazio. We made it through
the Blasio, so you never know. Mom Donnie was using that.
He's got a lot of commercials. Now you see more
(11:06):
and more commercials now. Last few weeks it was mostly
Curtis running TV commercials. Now it's everybody. But there's one
Mom Donnie commercial where it uses a New York Knicks
uniform with his name on it. It implies that there's
somehow there's a New York Knicks connection to Mom Donnie.
The New York Knicks have sued him. They've they got
a cease and desist order. They want him to stop
(11:28):
using their logo, their uniform or anything in the commercials.
They want nothing to nothing to do with them. You know,
there's a candidate in Long Island who's running for a
DA or something and there's some commercial from the opposition
tying her to Mom Donnie. So she's suing the GOP.
(11:50):
She wants nothing to do with Mom Donnie. I think
she's a Democrat. She just wants no connection. She's a
Democrat suing the GOP for trying to connect her in
any way to Mom Donnie. So again, he's very, very
unpopular with a lot of Democrats. Too. Hey, remember Bob Menendez.
Bob Menendez who went to jail. He's the senator with
(12:12):
the gold bars. We're recommending books today. There's a great
book that just came out. Isabelle Vincent, big, big investigative
reporter in New York Post, and she's written a lot
of great books. She's written books about all sorts of stuff.
But her new book is called gold Bar Bob. If
you want the real Bob Menendez story. And by the way,
(12:33):
if you're a movie producer, you might want to get
this book. It'd be a great movie. Gold Bar Bob
goes through the whole Menendez story. But you got to
read this because it takes you all through this New
Jersey mafia connection, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East,
the personal campaign contributions, the way he aided others, interfered
(12:54):
in criminal prosecutions, defrauded medicare questionable visa. It's fast senating stuff.
But take a look at this book. It's called gold
Bar Bob Downfall of the Most Corrupt US Senator. So
if you're in New Jersey you might want to read
or anyway, gold Bar Bob speaking in New Jersey looks
(13:14):
like it's tied. We don't have any definitive polling there,
but it's very, very close. Chitarelly just lost by a little.
Now here's the problem. Nothing personal in New Jersey, but
your voting system. There's a lot of funny business goes
on in New Jersey. Even Democrats I'm talking about the
(13:36):
insiders will tell you officials, people that know all this stuff.
You know, you can't win by one two percent. It
won't cover the cheating in the New Jersey voting system.
You got to win by like three, four or five
percent to cover that. So so far Chittarelly hasn't been
able to get that kind of lead. Hey, well, take
some calls in a minute eight hundred three to two
(13:58):
one zero seven ten. Oh and by the way, in
a few minutes, we'll talk to the greatest polster in
the world and see what he knows about the New
York race and New Jersey race. We'll get to all
of that coming up, but we'll take some calls next
eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

late fifties, like nineteen fifty five to sixty one. He

Honeymooners and he beat them every week. He was phenomenal.
And yeah, go on YouTube take a look at some
old Perry Como shows. It was quite revolutionary for its time.
Let's go to George Port Jefferson. George, how you doing, Hi?
Speaker 9 (15:27):
I'm watching the Two Good New Friends Cuomo with Adams. Yeah,
they like best buds. They could double date two eligible
Baptist Maybe Curtis could introduce them to tool.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, you gotta remember there's big billionaire donor money floating
around and helped Cuomo Adams. Well you do the math.
Let's go to Mara in Nevada.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
Mara, how you doing, marcam I'm calling about it a
gambling story, but first I want to welcome Christina. She
called the other day. She said she's ninety. She is

poker games that year and he brings sandwiches and things.
They tip them. That year he came home with the DeSoto,

Man.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
My father thought, good, yeah, if I don't pay you

There could have been, but there were Armenians there, you know,
there's the Armenian mafia too.

Mark.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
All right, well thanks for calling. Let's go to UH
Michael and Queen's Michael. How you doing?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Hello? How are you doing? You?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Hear me?
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Mark?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yea, yeah, go ahead, I want.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
To I just want to commend you a being the
only guy in New York City Monday when you got
it right when you said that the survey, that poll
that everybody was basing UH that Curtis back out of
was based by and run by lobbyist Homo. I congratulate you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And he only do we get do we bleep that
out and then stop picking on him? He's our friend.
Let's go to UH Sandy in West New York, New Jersey.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Good morning, Yes, Mark, I wanted to tell you that
I learned.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
That the UH. The first of all, I want to say,
the Orthodox Jews are very concerned about this selection, very
much so that oh it's this Sandy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Sorry. Let's go to uh uh Anthony and Edison Anthony.
She always disguises himself.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
The Democrats over here in New Jersey. Quick delay Trump
out saying that he spikedly handled this gateway project. I'm
gonna you got to give me the stinty on that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, he canceled the gateway project. This is part of
fighting back in the shutdown. It's canceled until it's uncanceled.
End the shutdown, start negotiating, and the Gateway project is back.
And that's the way Trump does things. He starts the
negotiation by taking away something. It just gives him more
(18:24):
power than negotiation. You know, you go into the negotiation saying, well,
if it gets really bad, I'll threaten to soothe him
if it gets really bad. Now what Trump does. He
sues you before he even shows up, so the lawsuit
is on. Then he goes into the negotiation and he's
(18:46):
got some leverage he can offer to drop the suit.
It's just the way he negotiates, and he's been very
successful at it. Let's go to Fran in Massapequa. Fran,
how you doing, my man mark?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
How you people to keep up the great work. You're
a beacon of truth.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Oh right, there's gonna be a button here.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah, no, no bucks.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
I want to know why when they showed the No
Kings march and most of the liberal protests. There are
a lot of white, fat liberal women, young pinkhead you know, girlies,
and some boys.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
People keep asking that how come it was so white,
so old that no Kings march. You gotta remember, these
are older. It's these are people have nothing to do
all day. They're not working, they've they've got nothing going on,
they're retired, They're sitting at home all day getting old
riled up. They're watching MSNBC and CNN. You know the
average age of the MSNBC viewer. I think it's seventy
(19:49):
two now, No, seriously, and uh, it's an older, older,
older crowd that march.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
You know, if you're younger, you got more going on.
You're busy. You know, I don't have time to go
to a No King's March. So it was a very
old crowd and they put on those crazy costumes and
the whole thing. It just looked like Halloween at the
Senior Center. It was just absolutely ridiculous. Hey, when we
come back, we haven't had any real polls in this race.
(20:16):
There's these junk college polls and these little nothing polling
companies you never heard of. We'll talk to the greatest
polster in the world. Next on seven to ten WR,
let's get.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Back to the Mark Simone Show on wo on.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Well, you know, you see these media polls, college polls,
They're all terrible, just these junk poles you see polling
companies you never heard of. The biggest and best poster
in the world is John McLaughlin. This is the one
presidents and prime ministers and the biggest campaigns use. John
McLaughlin has. The website is McLaughlin online dot com and
(20:55):
he's with us. Now, John McLachlin, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
I'm doing well because you say very nice, flattering things.
But I'm fortunate that I've polled for Donald Trump. And
as you and I have discussed before, President Trump proved
that polls rite a long time ago in twenty sixteen
and has done so since. So I guess, yeah, we'll
see about well, now he's talking you know, some of
(21:19):
his friends that talking to him about twenty twenty eight.
We'll see. Well, so I think I think, yeah, I
don't think that's I don't think that's going to happen.
So that's I get to listen to the nice things
people say about our polls, because last year we said
he was going to sweep his battleground states and when
the popular vote and he proves that true.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, just explain to people these public polls they're cheap, flimsy.
They're like five hundred people, a thousand people. That's not
always likely voters. I mean, what you do is much
more scientific, elaborate, much much bigger scale. So but we
haven't had a real poll from a real what they
call the internals by any of the campaigns. Have we
(22:00):
really And when.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
You're looking at I mean when you look at national polls,
like they've gone back to their biased against the president
and they're kind of right. It could be I legal immigrant,
they have cell phones. I mean, it's serious. Some of
these polls, like there was a poll out last week Economists.
You go of online, so there's an online poll and
they had when you go into their internals, they have
(22:22):
more liberal it's so wrong. They have more liberals and conservatives.
That's the opposite of the exit poles from West November.
And they have more Democrats and Republicans. Again it's the
opposite of the exit polse. The big killer is this
Economists Ugo poland was done like the October twentieth they
and they had that they had like twelve hundred people,
(22:44):
but they're supposedly you know, adults, but they had only
thirty five percent Trump voters. We got fifty percent. So
when they come out with a job approval for President
Trump of forty three percent, it means they're short as
fifty points just they had because nine out of ten
(23:04):
Trump voters still approved the job he's doing at least,
if not one hundred percent. So you get so just
add fifteen to the forty three, that'd be fifty eight.
So the better polls have them like we had in September,
we had a forty nine percent for forty six disapproved.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
We had the.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Republicans winning for Congress forty seven to forty one. But
it was a thousand likely voters. We know the voters
were contacting the voters. We're asking them how likely they
are to vote, because it's a big difference because in
the last national election you had our hundred sixty million
people vote apart me, one hundred and fifty six million
people voted. It was one hundred and sixteen twenty twenty,
(23:43):
So that's out of a universe of you know, like
two hundred and fifty two hundred and sixty adults in
the United States. And then when you get to when
you get to the midterm elections, the midterm the elections
go even further. So in twenty eighteen, one hundred and
eighteen million people come out, and in twenty twenty two
(24:06):
it was one hundred and twelve million. So nationally, when
you're saying a thousand likely voters trying to represent a universe,
it's the universe of probably about one hundred and ten
one hundred and twenty million voters that are probably going
to come out, and poles really don't predict turnout. You
have to look at other barometers when you get close
to the election.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well, now let me ask you about the mayoral race.
I know you haven't pulled it. Nobody's really pulled. No
real top polling companies done this mayoral race. But what
is your sense right now? Is Mom Donnie on track
to win? Has he been losing steam? Is Cuomo gaining?
Speaker 6 (24:38):
By the way, we did poland January for Betsy McCoy
first her Save our City project, and back then we
had only thirty one percent of the Democrat parwer voters
preferring Cuomo. And when you have the second choice, cause
that grant choice voter was only five. So I told Betsy,
he's not going to win. It's just and it seemed
(24:59):
to be right for the primary, but Mondomie hadn't emerged.
And when you look at it, like the Fox News
pole that came out, and it was like October fourteenth
was the day that came out. The difficult part is
Mondomie's the most favorable of the candidates, so they had
Mondomi ahead, but he had a fifty eight to thirty
seven farewell unfairwell, while Cuomo in that poll was fifty
(25:22):
to forty eight and Curtis was thirty six to fifty
three farewell to unfarewell. And then there was the ar
the AA RP pole, which was one thousand and forty
likely voters that got them did and it was mild
after the last male race was kind of a snoozer
with Adams and so you only had a million people.
(25:45):
So you know, when you think about it in the city,
you could have one point eight million voted. When I
was pulling for Leeze Eldon and we were in a
close race with Hockel, there was one point eight million
people came out in the city, or when I was
polling for President Trump, they had two and a half million.
Peace will come out in those races, you know, Lee
and President Trump did as well as a Republican could
(26:06):
do in the city where we got thirty percent. And
so this aar P pole. When you're looking at it,
it's probably tilted, it's probably too old and may not
be democratic enough. Yeah it yeah in it, but they
have they had. That's the one that caused the stir
where you had the three where you had a Mandamie
(26:27):
at forty three in Cuoma twenty nine and Curtis at nineteen.
So Curtis is running behind where Trump and Zelden were,
but in the two way. That's because it was an
older sample, maybe a little light on the Democrats. It
was forty five Mandami forty one Cuomo, and that's when
they all started. Curtis got to get out now, Curtis
needs to be Curtis and Cuomo needed to be going
(26:49):
after Mundami in a heavy way since all summer. They
should have been, but they've been. You know, these all
these people like you say, the billionaires who don't know
what they're doing, been playing musical chairs, saying, oh this
once you get out this, once you get out the
problem is when you look at the internals of that poll,
Mondammie is a net positive forty eight to forty five
(27:10):
faarble to unfavorable, and Curtis is thirty five fairuell forty
seven unfairal So he's a net negative and Cuomo's a
net negative thirty seven faarabele to forty eight unfavorable.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
But now you said, yeah, but you said, way back
months ago, you said, the only way to stop mom Donnie,
You're going to have to have them bombard the airwaves
with negative ads, bring out his negatives, drive up his unfavorables.
Where were the donors. They didn't do it, none of
the packs. Where were they.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
No, by the way, I don't use the word negative
issue adds issue ads, but where were they They They sat,
they set it out, Well, it's cheaper that way, it
don't It didn't cost him anything. I mean, Cuomo wastes
a lot of their.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Money in the primary.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
And now now you know, but you have you know,
like we were in President Trump's campaign, the contrast between
his job as president versus Biden and Harris the job
they had done, and people respond to issues. Now you're
seeing you know, kitchen sink ads coming out about Mundomie's
positions on the issues. About legalizing prostitution, it'll increase human trafficking.
(28:16):
He wants to legalize drugs, it'll increase drug use on
the subways. Him defunding the you know, closing jails, defund
By the way, the one who won the last two
mayoral debates is Bruce Blakeman in Nassau because works for
Bruce out there. Bruce has done a great job. He's
cut taxes, he's refused to raise taxes in four years.
(28:39):
He's hired hundreds of new police officers. They're the Savis
County in America and so Mondamie in Nasau County has
a twenty five favorable he has to sixty nine percent.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Right, there's no chance of Blakeman leasing we hope.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Well, he can't take it for granted. It's an eight
point Democrat county. So there's more Democrats in Nassau than
there are Republicans.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Everybody get out, Yeah, everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman. Well,
just about it. We got like a minute left. What
do you think is going to happen in this election?
Turnout wise, Well, we get a big turnout can make
a difference.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
You think we'll get it, Well on Saturday, they start tomorrow,
they start voting early, so you'll have actual counts of
people by party, by registration, by Burrow. And if it's
like the primary room, Mandmie's his nonprofits, that stores funds,
et cetera. If they start getting people online and voting,
that won't be good for Andrew Cuomo Curtis Leer. So
(29:32):
you know, so if you, if you, if you care
about New York City like we do, you need to
make sure that it's not just you know, the people
need MONDMI organization.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Can't you got to get out and vote. Hey, Clomo
had a pretty good debate. Surprised everybody? Does that mean anything?
Is that going to help? Is it too late?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
It definitely helps, And it's not too late until election day.
You got to you know, I mean it's bout forty
five forty one close. You know, granted, he's he's still
got to do a lot of issue education and a
short amount of time on Mondmie's on the on the
record between them and and and you know that's the
probably that's why Curtis still has has a significant amount
(30:15):
of the vote because there's a lot of people that
remember Cuomo was the guy who gave us cashless Vale
casas Bale has like been really bad for you. So
so as far as the election goes, you know, Clomo's
got to he's got to make up a lot of
ground against Mondamie where the final points could be the
toughest points to uh to recapture. And you've got you know,
(30:37):
and you got other races, like you've got more Maron
given Alvin Bragg, a race that's been you know, over
shadowed by the male race.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It would be great everybody votes for maud Maren for DA,
get rid of Alvin Bragg, maud Maren for DA. John McLoughlin,
