Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mister New York's Marximon, you're the best.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Wr We'll get to the mayoral race in just a second,
and we'll get to the World Series, and Curtis will
be with us. Curtis Lee, well, we'll join us a
little later this hour. We'll see what he's feeling like.
On the final day. It is the final day before
the election. There's no early voting today. Yesterday was the

(00:25):
last day. Yeah, yesterday was the last day. Seven hundred
and thirty five thousand early votes. That's like six times normal.
That is through the roof. It's huge. It's expected that
we'll get over two million voters in this election after
election day tomorrow. Normally we could end up with three

(00:46):
four hundred thousand five So this is big, very very
very big. Turnout is huge. Cuomo is doing better than
before he has searched, but Curtis is also surging. We've
seen that, so they're both surging. Cuomo was you still
got to blame him for this mess. There was a
Democratic primary. Mom Donnie was at zero a you know,

(01:08):
a weird extremist candidate that remember, there was a whole
bunch of people in that Democratic primary. Cuomo scared Eric
Adams out of it. So Eric Adams didn't enter that
Democratic primary, and who knows, he might have won. Cuomo
scared him out of it. You remember Cuomo before the
primary began. It scared a lot of people with his
big name recognition and his billions and billionaire donors, and

(01:31):
everybody's afraid to go up here. So Cuomo enters the
Democratic primary and is a disaster, a disaster, hardly campaign
no rallies, no anything, no campaigning. In the debates, he
was a complete disaster. He got wiped out by Mam
Donnie in the first debate, second debate, got beaten up
even more. It was a disaster. So he lost the primary.

(01:52):
And he was so bad in those debates, and Mam
Donni just used him as a punching bag and it
really helped Mam Donnie take off. He ended up slaughtering
Cuomo in the final vote. Had nothing to do with
rank choice voting, just slaughtered him in that final vote.
So that's how we end up with Mom Donnie. Then
Cuomo goes on to some third party ballot and tries
to tries to come back, and he's done well, he's

(02:14):
done better, He's been a much better campaigner. He was
rotten in the first debate, but in that last general
election mayoral debate, he was pretty good. Curtis won the
debate easily on issues on content, but Cuomo suddenly had energy,
suddenly had a little fire. A lot of people think
they injected him with one of those Joe Biden wake
up drugs, wake up injections. So and they've all been

(02:39):
campaigning like crazy. Cuomo still hasn't opened a campaign office,
but okay, but he's been out there. He's been out
there campaigning all weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Three buses, Yeah, that sounds great. He doesn't run the buses.
The state runs the buses. And the state said that
that's not going to happen. Universal childcare because the state's
going to tax all the corporations, but all the money
goes to New York City. That's never going to happen.
None of it will happen. It's just this socialist talk.

(03:09):
Everything free, everything free.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, okay, I promise we all know this already. Obviously
already knows this.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I believe President Trump is from New York. I think
he cares about New York. He has friends in New York,
he has a lot of connections in New York, and
I think he would be open to a cooperative path
that is doing good things in New York in cooperation
with the federal government. I think you would like to
see New York better.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I believe that. Yeah. Now, behind the scenes, President Trump
has been working day and night to get Curtis out
of the race. It's a little late for that. I
don't agree with him on that, but that's what he's
been trying to do. He's been trying to help Cuomo.
He thinks Quoma is the only one that can win.
There are a lot of people that think that. But

(03:57):
he's been working like crazy to get sleep with It's
not going to happen. Curtis is not a quitter, never
has been, never will be. Here's more of Cuomo.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
President Trump said, Curtis Leewa is not ready for prime time,
and he's not ready for prime time. He's led this
group called the Guardian Angels for years, but he has
no managerial experience, no government experience, and he's basically defrauded
New Yorkers in the past. So he's not ready for

(04:28):
prime time and he is a spoiler in the race.
The only thing he can do is make Mam Donnie
a winner, because any vote for Curtis is a vote
for Mom Donnie.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, now you got to put a lot of asterisk
on it. He never defrauded New York. I think he's
referring to something he did a publicity stunt once turned
out out to be true. But you talk about defrauding
New York. I think Cuomo did have to leave office
in disgrace. He was under investigation by the Ethics Committee
as well for that sleazy book deal. And a spoiler.

(05:01):
You can't be a spoiler if you're a major party candidate. Remember,
Curtis is the Republican nominee, Mam Donnie is the Democratic nominee.
It was Cuomo who could not get a major party
you know, win. He lost the primary. Democrats rejected him
in the primary. So let's see. Here's more a Cuomo.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
He thinks Mandami, who he calls a communist, would be
horrendous for New York.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
By the way, I agree.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
And this is the far left of the Democratic Party,
the socialist wing of the Democratic Party, trying to take
over New York City.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Kind of the problem. He over explains everything to you.
Cuomo talks to you like you're the one that's stupid.
And he talks too slow, and he over explains. And
now Curtis, they're still telling him to drop out. You can't.
I'll ask him, he'll Kurs will be with a few minutes.
He couldn't drop out if he wanted to. You can't
drop out. You can't get your name off the ballot.

(05:59):
You can't. We'll ask him when he's here. But he's
I've known Curtis for a million years. This guy never
quit anything in his life.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
They're all trying to get me out of this race.
I guess what. I'm in it to win it. I'm
the only Republican, the law and order candidate. Now Rudy
Giuliani two point zero who he.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Can say that because Rudy Giuliani is endorsing him and
is said one thousand percent behind him.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Jorhan Mandami, hah, he's very affable. It's like that song
remember Shad Day nineteen eighty four, Smooth Operator, Yeah yeah.
I always think of Barack Obama the Prince of the
smooth Operator.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
And on the jvha Madami amen ah. When he lies yes,
noos doesn't get bigger, he smile gets larger.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, you gotta admit, Curtis is the best on the
campaign trail. And he's right. Mamdanni is an Obama. Obama
was the same kind of thing. Not a communist, but
Obama was a guy with no resume, never had a
real job in his life, community organized or whatever the
hell that was, but never had a job, just a
very brief career in the legislature, and all of a

(07:04):
sudden running for the biggest management management job in the world.
But he did it with a smile and style and
being very articulate and smooth talking. He's he's the socialist Obama.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
If you're on the thirty in Europe, female.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Ah, now, this is him on Cuomo Curtis.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
If you're on the thirty in you're a female, he's flirty.
If you're over sixty five, he could end up killing
you in a long term nursing home. Jacobs home, man,
you're only safe if you're between dirty and sixty five.
Multiply handy, andy, handsy.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Andy, Yeah, pretty good, pretty good. Let me see if
there's any more here now, we'll ask Curtis. He'll be
here later this hour. These billionaires are all calling him
trying to get him out of the race. They're all
trying to bribe, and they're offering money, jobs, they're all anything.
They're trying to bribe him. Listen to Curtis.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
I'm told him what you're doing is that it's bribery
and it might be illegal. And the next time you
talk to me, I'll be winded up like a.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Christmas street more like forma. Let me see.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I will build affordable hundreds of thousands of units of
affordable housing. I did it as HUT secretary all across
the nation. And that's how you're going to get the
rent down by increasing the supply. I will hire five
thousand police officers and make New York City safer, and
put fifteen hundred on the subways and make the subways safer.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
All right, lots of promises, lots of promises, but he
certainly didn't do all that stuff as governor. But hey,
very important thing. We have listeners all over the Tri
state area. If you're in west Chester, everybody's got to
get out and vote tomorrow. It's not just the mayoral race,
but you've got to get out and vote. Very important.
If you're in Manhattan, get rid of the district attorney
Alvin Bragg. Vote for maud Marin the Republican. She'll put

(08:58):
people in jail online, unlike Alvin Bragg. So very important.
Get rid of Alvin Bragg. Vote for maud Marin great
strong law enforcement DA candidate that's in Manhattan. Wherever you
are in New York City, get rid of your city
council crazy left loons. Now, if you want to protect
yourself against Mom Donnie, this is what you got to do.

(09:19):
Get as many Republicans as a Canada the city council.
And if you live in Westchester, you're going to have
to protect against Mom Donnie. So make sure you vote
for the Republican candidate tomorrow for county executive. I forget
her name? Is it her? I think not sure? Well whoever,
it doesn't matter who it is. Just pull the Republican
lever in Westchester County. Get yourself a Republican county executive

(09:43):
tomorrow in Westchester. Now, if you're in Nassau County, Bruce
Blakeman is the best county executive in America. Everybody loves him,
but he's still up for reelection, so make sure you
get out there and vote for him. There's been early
voting in Nassau County, they say heavy, heavy Republican turnout
has been going on. But just to be sure, get
out there and vote for Bruce Blakeman tomorrow Nassau County Executive.

(10:06):
If you're in New Jersey, of course, vote for Jack Chittarelli,
who's it's very close in the polls, very good. Christine
Sculty is the one running in Westchester for County Executive,
Christine Scalty, make sure you vote for her may Vote
for Chittarelly in New Jersey tomorrow. Connecticut, I don't know

(10:27):
what to tell you. Who's Oh, Greenwich, Connecticut seems to
be the suburb everybody's going to flee to. There's a
report now that prices in Greenwich, Connecticut, that's the closest
and nicest town in Connecticut. Prices are going crazy. Inventory
is down to practically nothing. But you got the best
mayor you've ever had there, Fred Camillo. He's the Republican.

(10:47):
Make sure you reelect him tomorrow. Vote for Fred Camillo,
very popular, he's been two terms already. Great great mayor there,
Fred Camillo. What else? Yes, city council is important. Changed
that city council because believe or not City Council actually
has more power to do things in New York than
the mayor does. Curtis not getting out of the race.

(11:09):
Stop with that. As we mentioned before, the mob tried
to stop him. They sent like four guys with baseball
bats who beat him to a pulp. That didn't stop him.
He kept attacking. They got him in the back of
a cab, shot him five times from his hospital bett.
He kept attacking him. That was quite an instant. In fact,

(11:30):
we all used to work at the other place back then,
Rush Shawn me, everybody. Curtis got shot five times. It
was just like in The Godfather, Remember where Salatso says
five bullets, the guy's still alive. Well, that was Curtis.
The next day Rush bought Curtis and Suv said, don't
get in any more cabs. Use this car. I remember

(11:52):
I used to It was remembers Curtis and Koobe. They
were the number one morning show for you remember, of course, big, big, big,
big morning show for twenty years. But I used to
fill in a lot, and I remember it. Right after
he was shot, it'd be me and Curtis in the
studio with twelve detectives. Right after the shooting, surrounded by

(12:13):
detectives around the clock, because apparently the mob was still
out to get them if that didn't get them to stop.
I don't think a few billionaires with their bribes is
going to do any good. Marathon yesterday, New York Marathon.
This is called the Kenya Marathon. Nobody in New York's
going to win this marathon. Nobody in New York's going
to even come close. Now today, walking to work, all

(12:37):
over the street are these people with the medals on.
The marathon medals. Apparently they're all staying in this neighborhood
around the station, all the hotels, this is where they are,
and they walk around with the medals on. You know,
it's like these people that won't take the ski lift
tickets off the jacket. They've got all the ski lift
tags there, so you're supposed to see that. They're excuse

(12:58):
so you're supposed to see them metal. One year, somebody
came to work with the marathon medal. Everybody was so
crist so I went on eBay. I bought like six
marathon medals from previous years. I just put them all
on and came in with that on. Although I got
to admit I saw these medals on people today. It's
the best looking marathon medal I've ever seen. I mean,

(13:18):
just as jewelry. It's beautiful. Hey, Barack Obama was in
New Jersey campaigning for Mikey Cheryl and he started going
after Trump and he started attacking the ballroom that Trump
is building on the East Wing. You've seen the pictures
of the drawings. The ballroom is going to be magnificent,

(13:39):
one the most beautiful ballrooms ever built. It's absolutely spectacular,
and there was Obama attacking it. A lot of people
thought that was really crazy, since he is currently building
what is considered to be the single ugliest building ever
built in America. Go take a look at my Twitter
if you want to see it. It's up. Pictures are
up there on Twitter. It's it's his presidential library. It

(14:01):
is the most hideous, ugly building everybody's ever seen. People
think that the pictures are a joke. This is actually
his presidential library. It's a big, ugly, enormous, like five
story slab of concrete. It looks like a big tombstone.
It says gray, ugly cement. It's the ugliest building you've
ever seen. And he probably should be investigated and arrested

(14:24):
for what he's doing because they raised eight hundred and
fifty million and they've spent it and now it's they're
having overruns. If you look at this building, if I
told you this building costs a million dollars, you'd think
I was insane. He's supposedly spent eight hundred and fifty
million on this hideous, ridiculous looking building that's disgusting looking,

(14:47):
and he has the nerve to criticize the ballroom unbelievable.
So uh oh, World Series. That was quite a game. Actually,
I don't really care about Dodgers. Well, I guess I
like the Dodgers. I don't really care about the Toronto
Blue Jays, although they seem to have more American players
on the Blue Jays than on the Dodgers. But it

(15:09):
was quite an ending, quite a final game. Here's the
final call double play end of the game.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Eddio two swinging a broken bat roller out to short
that's up with it steps out second on the first
and it's a double play and the Dodgers have won it.
Here in eleven.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
The Dodgers turned the double play and finish off the
Jays five for the final The Dodgers repeat champions for
the first time in baseball in twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
No, of course it's Los Angeles. The Dodgers won, so
naturally in Los Angeles, everybody's out in the street, rioting,
cops that are used tear gas, teeble totally. I control fires, looting,
every that's Los Angeles. Hey, Curtis will be with us
in a few minutes. We'll talk to Curtis lee Win
a few minutes. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight

(16:03):
hundred three two one zero seven ten.
