Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wor Now the wr Saturday
Morning Show. Here's Larry Minty, Hello and welcome this Saturday morning.
On this week's show, high profile criminal defense attorney Jeffrey
Lichtman unloads on the candidates running for New York City
mayor and specifically Zorahan Mom Donnie. Jeffrey, let's talk about
(00:23):
the mayoral race for a second, because there's a lot
of people out there giving advice, and most people seem
to think that the people running against Zorim Mam Donni,
two or three of them have to coalesce and unify
to take him on. Somebody has to drop out of
the race. Who what would you like to see if
(00:46):
you could pick one of them to run against Urim
mam Donni, who has the best chance.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well, Larry, first of all, thanks for having me. And
I think what has to happen? And I'm not a
Cuomo fan, but what Cuomo said makes the most sense.
There has to be polling done sometime in September among
what I believe, not just Adams Mushmouth mayor in the Hood,
mayor in the club, excuse me and Cuomo, but also
(01:14):
with Curtis Sliwa All three of them have to have
polling done. They should agree upon one polster and whoever
is ahead in a purported head to head against Mandanni,
the other two have to drop out because there's a
very high probability right now Mandanni is leading all of
(01:34):
them in a poll. If it's head to head, it's
it's the three of them against him. And I would
include Jim Walden this even though he's got one percentage point.
No one knows who he is and he's an obnoxious,
humble bragger. He should also be subject to this and
drop out because the states are too high. Larry, and
when I think about how much I hate politicians, this
(01:55):
is exhibit A. They're so selfish, they're so narcissistic. All
they really care about is power. They try to tell
you how much they care about the people, and they
care about the city and they just want to do
the right thing. Yet all of them, and I'm talking
including Curtis who's running as a Republican, who's the only
one who really has a meritorious reason to run because
(02:18):
he won his primary and he is the Republican candidate
if the other one, the other two are just the
Democrats who couldn't beat Mamdani, which is why they're even
able to run at all. There should be there should
be a polling dun whoever remains of the of the
three of them should run against mom Donni Loan because
the stakes are so high. If we lose this to Mamdanni,
(02:41):
and we will, if all of the rest of them
do run, then we're going to be having our city
run by a far left, insane socialist who's so insane
that he doesn't even try to hide what he is.
I mean, this guy is an open maniac, a lunatic.
He's the guy who's praising Hamas and New York. Did
you ever think, Larry, twenty four years after nine to
(03:04):
eleven that we would be electing the guy as mayor
who supports the very ideology that took the two towers
down in New York City and killed nearly three thousand people.
It is so revolting, so appalling, so stomach churningly disgusting,
because that's where we are, and we've got guys like
Eric Adams and Cuomo and Sliwa too saying no, no,
(03:27):
you have to drop out. I wouldn't there. They want
power so bad they can taste it so badly that
they're willing to sell our city down the river. It's
absolutely disgusting and a pox on all of them.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, very well said. I've never put that together before
about the towers, but that was extremely well said. Curtis
Lee was said something the other day that I was
really impressed by, and he was talking not only to
the other candidates but also to Donald Trump, and he said,
stop attacking this guy for the wrong reason. State of policy.
(04:01):
His policies are horrible. His policies are going to hurt
the city. We need to state to that because you're
making him a martyr and you're getting him more votes,
and especially Donald Trump, because the number one issue for
the Democrats is just being against Trump. If Trump keeps
speaking out, I think it makes zurhen mam donni more powerful.
What do you think.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I suppose that's true. But the things that Trump are
attacking him on are are the policies. And look, I'm
not a Trump accolyte where I follow everything that he says,
but he's one hundred percent right here. But it shouldn't
have to be the fact that we're even in a
position where we're concerned that an open socialist in America
(04:41):
and New York City jew hating socialist, a guy who
is literally going to run the city into the ground.
He's telling us that he's going to do it. The
fact that he's so close to becoming mayor tells us
if it doesn't happen in November, Larry, Oh, it's coming,
It's coming sooner or later. This is what's a li
rules have done to America. They are creeping, getting larger,
(05:05):
and eventually they're going to turn us into Europe if
we're not Europe already. Because if you look at New
York City, you've got Hamas running around. Nobody seems to care.
Eric Adams, I mean, respectfully, has the effing balls, the
balls to suggest that he's done so much for this
city and he's the one that turned this worse than
(05:25):
Deblasio has turned it into a toilet ball. His approval
rating is at eighteen percent, he's even polling behind Sleeva.
The balls of him to suggest that he should be
standing in the race. This guy should be in a
jail cell. And you can ask Donald Trump why he
didn't allow it, because he would be in a jail
cell and he wouldn't be running now. Taking him out.
(05:47):
Taking Adams out is not the solution because you've still
got the other two dunderheads. One of them has to
drop out. The all three of them have to collete
and say, listen, we love this city too much to
care about our own personal greed. They're filthy greed and
the fact that we're gonna have to pay them off.
You know that they're not dropping out until they make
(06:09):
generational money. You know that's all this is about, Larry.
They want money. Do you know how many more friggin'
airrings does Eric Adams have to have in his ears.
He's only got two ears.
