Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from WR now the WR Saturday
Morning Show. Here's Larry Minty, Hello and welcome to Saturday Morning.
Coming up on today's show, does Republican candidate for Mayor,
Curtis Lee will have a chance of becoming the next
mayor of New York now that Mayor Adams has dropped out. Curtis,
(00:22):
this is a good day for you, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Absolutely okay, one down, two more to go. And we
knew that Eric Adams was one and done it. He
was playing Monty Hall. Let's make a deal, and finally
Bob Barker announced that the price was right for him
yesterday to drop out back. I'm sitting right here on
a park bench on sixty thirty fifth checking my messages,
(00:46):
and I'm learning all the.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Billionaires who live here. You can't bribe me. Thirty six
days to go.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Let the people decide who's going to be the mayor.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Let me play something for you. This is a talk
we got when people started getting the news.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I am so elated that Eric Adams finally came to
his senses and dropped out of this race. Now we
need to consolidate against Dorin Mandami. We need Andrew Cuomo
to do the same thing. Drop out of this race,
put your ego aside. We can't let Mandami win this race.
(01:25):
We need Curtis Sliwa and I'm a Democrat and I
am pulling for Curtis Sliwa.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
He could save New York. Want to react to that absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Remember Cuomo had his shot forty points ahead Democratic primary,
mailed it in from the Hamptons with his billionaire supporters,
got trounce and he's not even out in the streets. Larry,
I mean, thirty six days left. You got to be
going twenty hours a day. And that's exactly what I do.
And now that Eric Adams is out, there's only one
law norder Kennedy touch me because Andrew Cuomo and Joan
(01:58):
Mandami share the same value.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
They're for no cash bail, They're for raised the age,
and we just.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Had a report that juvenile crime has never been higher.
They both want to close Rkers Island. They both support
cop killers. In fact, it was Andrew Como's parole board
they released forty six cop killers in just eight years,
and of course Johan.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Mondami cheered that on.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So if I'm the only law and order candidate who
wants to hire seven thousand cops, get the cops actually
patrolling on the moving subway cars.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Bring back the homeless unit of the NYPD.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
They used to handle the emotionally disturbed and the homeless,
and more importantly, deal with quality of life fishers. I'm
the only one who can do that. Clomo can't do that.
He caused this crisis with no cash bail.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, here's the thing, So it's not just the callers,
it's not just the talkback because they're probably mostly conservative
except that one gentleman that I just played, and they're
probably mostly Republican. Natalie Migliori went out and did her
beat on the street and she talked to New Yorkers.
There were several New Year Yorkers who said the same thing.
They said that now that Eric Adams has dropped out,
(03:06):
they're looking more seriously at Curtis Sliwa because they believe
crime is the number one issue and they believe that
you can tackle crime in the city. You are you
getting the same reaction on the streets?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yesterday the Third Avenue Festival, I was there for five
hours and that's all people were saying. I remember that
area Bay Ridge has now split fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
There are a lot of Zorin Easter is there now.
It's not an all red area, it's a purple area.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So I'd love to go to the Zoron areas where
he beat Clomo convincingly in the primary and do my
campaigning because that's where you get a lot of feedback,
and I think even some of the Zorin Easters supporters
a Zoran realized when it comes to crime, boy, that's
his achilles heel. Every time he's asked the question, like
the New York Times said you're gonna apologize to the
(03:57):
cops for calling them racist and homophone? He said, I would,
hasn't done it since, and yet every day he's protected
by armed NYPD police officers. That is his vulnerability, that's
his achilles heel. Cuomo cannot go at him on those
issues on the debate stage because he's just as culpable
and guilty. Only I can go at it, and I'm
(04:19):
gonna go at that two headed hydra of Cuomo and
Zorhan Mandami. If not for Eric Adams, they wouldn't have
been a Zoran Mondomi.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If not for Cuomo's no cash bail.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It would be it would be a safe for New
York State and safe for New York City.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I'll tell you what. We also got to talk back
saying that Steven A. Smith was on Good Morning America
this morning calling for you to drop out of the race.
Is there any shot of that at happening at all?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Hey, Stephen A. Smith is afraid to have me on
his show. You know he's a Cuomo sexual, totally tied
into Cuomo. Why doesn't he have me on his show?
To Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Smith should stick to sports, you know nothing about the
politics with ESPN, or invite Curtis Sliwa into the bullpen
and watch me just run circles around.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I was going to ask you about preparing for debates,
but your whole life has been about preparing for debates.
It is going to be interesting, it's going to be important,
probably more important now than it has ever been. What
do you expect? It sounds to me? It seems to
me that Cuomo and Mam Donnie are going to go
after each other. Are you going to go after both
(05:30):
of them or just Mam Donnie.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Well, to be honest with you, Larry, if they do
that if they get to be like kids in a schoolyard.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I take the high road.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I talk about who I am and what I've done,
and what my policies will be that are totally different
than both of them. Remember, they're the Democrats. They've led
to this catastrophe. The Democrats let the Socialists in and
the Socialists took over the party without even a fight.
And Angew Cuomo was the governor when he allowed that
to occur. Eric Adams was so corrupt that he should
(06:01):
have been in jail with Obviously, Bobby Menendez, Go Bob Menendez,
and you say to yourself, Larry, if you want to
blame anybody for this catastrophe, blame the Democratic Party. I
represent patriotism. I represent making sure that the kids get
an education. With a forty one billion dollar bloated budget,
where two thirds of the fourth gradest can't even read, write,
(06:23):
and do arithmetic at grade level. This has got to stop, Larry.
The Democrats had their chance. They destroy the state, They're
apt to destroy the city, and I'm the only thing
stopping them from doing that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Well, I can tell your pomp do you're more excited
than you have been in a long time, and I
know that our listeners are pumped as well. They'd love
to help. How can they help?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
All they need to do is go to sliwa for
NYC dot com that sliwa f O r NYC dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I promise all your faithful listeners.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I will never ever and up dropping out the fact.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
In the words of the Great John Paul Jones.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Father of our US Navy, on this day, thirty six
days out thirty six nights, Larry, I have just begun
to fight fight fight fight. Ah.
Speaker 1 (07:14):

Curtis Leewah the now re energize Curtis Leewa, Republican candidate
for New York City Mayor. Good luck, Curtis. I hope
to talk to you again soon.
