00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WR now the WR.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Saturday Morning Show.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Here's Larry Minty, Hello and welcome to Saturday Morning. Coming

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: up on today's show, does Republican candidate for Mayor, Curtis

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Lee will have a chance of becoming the next mayor

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: of New York now that Mayor Adams has dropped out. Curtis,

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: this is a good day for you, isn't it.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely okay, one down, two more to go. And

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: we knew that Eric Adams was one and done it.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: He was playing Monty Hall. Let's make the deal, and

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: finally Bob Barker announced that the price was right for

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 3: him yesterday to drop out back. I'm sitting right here

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: on a park bench on sixty thirty fifth checking my messages,

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: and I'm learning all the billionaires who live here. You

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: can't bribe me. Thirty six days to go. Let the

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: people decide who's going to be the mayor.

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Let me play something for you. This is a talk

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: we got when people started getting the news.

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: I am so elated that Eric Adams finally came to

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: his senses and dropped out of this race. Now we

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: need to consolidate against Dorin Mandami. We need Andrew Cuomo

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: to do the same thing. Drop out of this race,

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: put your ego aside. We can't let Mandami win this race.

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: We need Curtis Sliwa and I'm a Democrat and I

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: am pulling for Curtis Sliva. He could save New York.

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: Want to react to that absolutely. Remember Cuomo had his

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: shot forty points ahead Democratic primary, mailed it in from

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: the Hamptons with his billionaire supporters, got trounce and he's

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: not even out in the streets. Larry, I mean, thirty

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: six days left. You got to be going twenty hours

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 3: a day. And that's exactly what I do. And now

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: that Eric Adams is out, there's only one law norder

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: Kennedy touch me because Andrew Cuomo and Joan Mandami share

34
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: the same value. They're for no cash bail, They're for

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: raise the age, and we just had a report that

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: juvenile crime has never been higher. They both want to

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: close Rkers Island. They both support cop killers. In fact,

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: it was Andrew Como's paro board the release forty six

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: cop killers in just eight years, and of course Johan

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Mandami cheered that on. So if I'm the only law

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: and order candidate, who wants to hire seven thousand cops.

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: Get the cops actually patrolling on the moving subway cars.

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: Bring back the homeless unit of the NYPD. They used

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 3: to handle the emotionally disturbed and the homeless, and more importantly,

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: deal with quality of life fishers. I'm the only one

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: who can do that. Clomo can't do that. He caused

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: this crisis with no cash bail.

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, So it's not just the callers,

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: it's not just the talkback because they're probably mostly conservative

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: except that one gentleman that I just played, and they're

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: probably mostly Republican. Natalie Migliori went out and did her

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: beat on the street and she talked to New Yorkers.

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: There were several New Year Yorkers who said the same thing.

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: They said that now that Eric Adams has dropped out,

55
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: they're looking more seriously at Curtis Sliwa because they believe

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: crime is the number one issue and they believe that

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: you can tackle crime in the city. You are you

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: getting the same reaction on the streets.

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely. Yesterday the Third Avenue Festival, I was there

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: for five hours and that's all people were saying. I

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: remember that area Bay Ridge has now split fifty to fifty.

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: There are a lot of Zorin East is there now.

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: It's not an all red area, it's a purple area.

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: So I'd love to go to the Zoron areas where

65
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: he beat Clomo convincingly in the primary and do my

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: campaigning because that's where you get a lot of feedback.

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: And I think even some of the Zorin Easters supporters

68
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: the Zoran realized when it comes to crime, boy, that's

69
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: his achilles heel. Every time he's asked the question, like

70
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: The New York Times said, you're gonna apologize to the

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: cops for calling them racist and homophone as he said

72
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 3: I would, hasn't done it since, and yet every day

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: he's protected by armed NYPD police officers. That is his vulnerability,

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: that's his achilles heel. Cuomo cannot go at him on

75
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 3: those issues on the debate stage because he's just as

76
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: culpable and guilty. Only I can go at it, and

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go at that two headed hydra of Culomo

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: and Zorhan Mandami. If not for Eric Adams, they wouldn't

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: have been a Zoran Mondomi. If not for Cuomo's no

80
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: cash bail. It would be it would be a safe

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: for New York State and safe for New York City.

82
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. We also got to talk back

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: saying that Steven A. Smith was on Good Morning America

84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: this morning calling for you to drop out of the race.

85
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Is there any shot of that at happening at all?

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: Hey, Stephen A. Smith is afraid to have me on

87
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: his show. You know he's a Cuomo sexual, totally tied

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: into Cuomo. Why doesn't he have me on his show?

89
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: Because Stephen A. Smith should stick to sports, you know

90
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: nothing about the politics with ESPN, or invite Curtis Sliwa

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: into the bullpen and watch me just run circles around.

92
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: Stephen A.

93
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: Smith.

94
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about preparing for debates,

95
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: but your whole life has been about preparing for debates.

96
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: It is going to be interesting, it's going to be important,

97
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: probably more important now than it has ever been. What

98
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: do you expect? It sounds to me. It seems to

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: me that Cuomo and Mom Donnie are going to go

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: after each other. Are you going to go after both

101
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: of them or just Mamdani?

102
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: Well, to be honest with you, Larry, if they do that,

103
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: if they get to be like kids in a schoolyard.

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: I take the high road. I talk about who I

105
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: am and what I've done and what my policies will

106
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: be that are totally different than both of them. Remember,

107
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: they're the Democrats. They've led to this catastrophe. The Democrats

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: let the Socialists in and the Socialists took over the

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: party without even a fight. And Angew Cuomo was the

110
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 3: governor when he allowed that to occur. Eric Adams was

111
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: so corrupt that he should have been in jail with

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: obviously Bobby Menendez, Goba Menendez. And you say to yourself, Larry,

113
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: if you want to blame anybody for this catastrophe, blame

114
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party. I represent patriotism. I represent making sure

115
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: that the kids get an education. With a forty one

116
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 3: billion dollar bloated budget, where two thirds of the fourth

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: gradest can't even read writ you do arithmetic at grade level.

118
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: This has got to stop, Larry. The Democrats had their chance.

119
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 3: They destroy the state. They're out to destroy the city,

120
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: and I'm the only thing stopping them from doing that.

121
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Well, I can tell your pump do you're more excited

122
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: than you have been in a long time. And I

123
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: know that our listeners are pumped as well. They'd love

124
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: to help. How can they help?

125
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: All they need to do is go to sliwa for

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: NYC dot com that sliwa f O r NYC dot com.

Speaker 3: and up dropping out the fact of the words of
