Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Stuart in
South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Hey, Mark her are you you know? I've tried to
find out a lot of information about the Alvin Bragg race.
Because Alvin Bragg stays in there with Mom, Donnie or
even Cuomo and hoche Well, you're going to have the
trifecta of hell.

Yeah, everybody, get rid of Alvin Bragg. Vote for Maud Maren,
the Republican candidate. She's a good on crime. Vote for her.
Get rid of Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Oh. Absolutely, he's crossed so much death and destruction in
New York City. I can't imagine anybody voting for this guy.
And it sounds like does he still have a shot
or what?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Crazy New York City. Good news is with these DA races,
it doesn't take a lot of votes to get rid
of them. So make sure you vote, get out there
and vote for Maud Maren for d A good point, Stuart.
Let's go to Billy in Manhattan. Billy, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Mark b Well? A couple quick points, who with the
heard of this Gotham polling group from what I gathered.
It's a couple of hundred senior citizens that are friendly
to Cuomo, and it's almost publicity, including your station. It's bogus.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, you know, you got to remember in this race,
we haven't had any real good polls. We've had all
these junk poles, these college polls, these media polls. Normally,
the campaign behind the scenes, they bring in the big, big,
serious pollsters, the John McLaughlin's, but none of them have
spent the money. That's the problem. So were all these
public poles are all just just junk. Let's go to
(01:30):
Jan in New Jersey. Jan, how you doing Mark?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
May or? Mark?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Doesn't that sound good?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
No? No, I don't want to be mayor?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Okay, all right, I know you don't want it, but
you'd be great.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
You know what I was thinking.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
There's so much like everybody, but with Mom, Donnie and
AOC and Bernie, they're like keeping people to be caterpillars
instead of letting them to be butterflies.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
All right, I don't know what that means, but okay,
let's go to uh Jimmy and New Milford. Jimmy, how
you doing?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
He good?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Wanting Mark good?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
There's one thing that I could never there's really I
can never figure Colmo for And that was when he said, boy,
you know, America was never that great anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
One of those famous comments. You talk about these things
that mont Donnie said in the past. Coloma said some
pretty bad things in the past too. Let's go to
Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Good.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Morning, Mark, I'm okay, good morning, Mara. Mark. Among the
many things you said that are right on the money,
you mentioned the fact that the new Chase building. Now,
I want AOC Bernie Sanders and Mondamie to think about this.
Think about all the tax relief and all the money
that that building is supplying to the city, first off
(02:51):
in property tax, in water and sewer tax, and then
all the people that are being employed. You said, what
ten thousand people are being employed in that building. Yeah,
all right, all those people have to bear, are paying tax, right,
and they're contributing also to the local economy. Because Jamie
(03:11):
Diamond says he wants everybody to work, right at least
three four days a week.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, yeah, what's your five days a week? Great, Jamie
Dimon as well as you got to go back to
the office.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Right, because he knows that that's contributing to the local economy,
to the delicate tessant, to the dry cleaners, this, that
and the other. And another thing that you mentioned. You
mentioned the great voted turnout, the high voted turnout. John
Katsamatidis last night said that in June, and this is
another reason why we must bring the primary back in
(03:46):
September and June. It was one hundred and two degrees
that day that they had the primary. I felt like
when I went to go vote, I was going to
drop dead in the polling place is only three blocks
from my house. People busy schools. Oh, but they're getting
ready to go up, stay go on vacation and yea, no,
(04:06):
that's a good two degrees heat and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, no, no more primaries in June. They got to
move back to September where they belong. But Vincent, we
got to go do the news. Great call. Yeah it
was there's another There have been a lot of tricks
they've used, from the rank choice voting to moving the
primaries to June. You get much lower turnout if you
do it in June. If you do it in September,
you get much better turnout. Hey, when we come back.
We'll talk to the best county executive in America, Bruce Blakeman.
