1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Welcome it, everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Travis en Buck Sexton Show. We have so much plan 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: to dive into very exciting show lined up here. We've 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: got the aftermath of Friday's Oval Office showdown with Trump, 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: Vance and Zelenski. The media that is anti Trump at 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: least in full freak out mode over the weekend. I 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: was in the gym this morning, Clay, and on the 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: anti Trump channels, just one former lightweight national security official 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: after another saying that what. 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: Trump did is ruined America for the future. We'll see 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: about that. 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: We'll discuss that what that means for Trump's peace efforts 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: to end the Ukraine War. We've also got and we've 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: asked them if you could join us to tell us 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: more details. But the Governor of Virginia, Glenn young Kid, 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: signed an executive order mandating that state and local law 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: enforcement will cooperate with ICE. That's right, State and local 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: in Virginia are going to be helping with the enforcement 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: of the law and deportations. Our friend, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: It's amazing to say that out loud. Defense Secretary Pete 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: Hegseth is directing the civilian workforce of DoD to respond 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: to the elon doge, What would you say you did 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: here last week, email or over the last week. And 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: then we've got a just astonishing but not surprising response 25 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: from the mayor of Boston to a person who went 26 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: on a stabbing spree and law enforcement had to use 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: lethal force to stop him. 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 2: We will bring you all of that and more. 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: But Clay, and as I sit here in South Florida 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: with so many Floridians basking in the incredible Florida late 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: February early March weather that we've had, I can't help 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: but see that there is someone rising in the Democrat 33 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: ranks right now, rising off in terms of his national 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: media profile. And I think you laid out and I 35 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: would agree. This is someone who thinks he will be 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: the mayor of New York and then we'll run for president. 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: That is the plan for Andrew Cuomo. But let's start 38 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: with cut two here. This is what he says, because 39 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: I was in New York, as many of you recall 40 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: you were listening to the show back then, I was 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: in New York during COVID. I have some thoughts on this, 42 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: but the would be governor and leader of the Democrat 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: Party if he gets his way. Andrew Cuomo had this 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: to say. 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: On top of it all, we faced COVID, which was 46 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: an historic life and death challenge, and we had it 47 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: first and worst with no warning. We were on our 48 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: own and we were pushed to our limits, but we 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: got through it together. 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: Clay, he was absolutely horrible. 51 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: I know you were following it as a Tennesseean and 52 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: recognize how terrible he was, But I can tell you 53 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: as a New Yorker, this is the guy who thought 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: that shutting bars down early and requiring you, as a 55 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: bar or restaurant owner under the law, to make people 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: order food while they had their cocktail was going to 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: help stop the spread of COVID. He was a monstrous 58 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: and idiotic dictator. And I want to make it my 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: life's mission to the degree that I can, to make 60 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: sure he does not become president. And I don't think 61 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: he should be the Mayor of New York, but that 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: one may be in order too tall for me. So 63 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: he's going to be the Mayor of New York, and 64 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: it's going to happen fast that the primary. I was 65 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: looking this up the primaries in June. Buck so all 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: of this has been super brilliant and strategic by him. 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: He's going to now sprint for basically one hundred days 68 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: March April May, and then boom, the vote's going to happen. 69 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: He's going to be the Democrat mayor. And unless you 70 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: think that there's going to be a Republican or an 71 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: independent running as a Republican, which Eric Adams has talked about, 72 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: unless you think that's going to be a viable alternative, 73 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo is going to be the mayor of New 74 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: York City and he will be elected in November of 75 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: this year. And when he is elected Mayor of New 76 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: York City, he is going to spend about six months 77 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: or nine months trying to get New York City back 78 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: up and running. 79 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: And then he is going. 80 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: To pivot and say that he is being asked to 81 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: run for the to be the contraate to the Republican Revolution, 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: and he's going to run And let me hit you 83 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: with something, buck that is crazy, And I know this 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: frustrates you. I think that he is going to claim 85 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: vindication on all of his leadership as soon as he 86 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: is elected mayor of New York City. I had my 87 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: challenges I'm speaking as Cuomo, but the people of New 88 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: York assessed me. They understand that I paid a penalty 89 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: based on Remember, he said, basically, he's not a sexual harasser. 90 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: He's just Italian that they gave him a pass, that 91 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: they allowed him to come back, and he is going 92 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: to be running in Iowa and in New Hampshire and 93 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: in all those early states by the beginning of twenty 94 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: twenty seven. Is he doesn't want to be mayor of 95 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: New York City. Let me make this clear. New York 96 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: City is a stepping stone to where he wants to be. 97 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: You don't go from governor of New York back to 98 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: mayor of New York City because you just desperately want 99 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: to be the mayor of New York City. New York 100 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: City's mayorship is a stepping stone to allow him to 101 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: be back at the upper rational line of Democrat politics. 102 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: And you know it's crazy. I think it's going to 103 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: put him there, So prepare yourselves. Cuomo has paid no 104 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: price for being one of the worst governors alongside of 105 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer of any state during COVID. 106 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: All of these people just pretend that and there were 107 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: virtually no discussion about Tim Walls's failures during COVID. I 108 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: know all of you who live in Minnesota, Mission again, California, 109 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: and New York and are listening to me right now, 110 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: feel this. No one lost their job overscrewing up COVID. 111 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: There were no consequences, and he is going to just 112 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: put that in the background, the fact that he sent 113 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: all those people to the nursing homes. He got more 114 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: punishment for touching a security guard on her hip and 115 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: on her stomach, supposedly than he did for thousands of 116 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: people being dead in New York because of his failed leadership, 117 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: because of all the kids having to wear masks, because 118 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: you had to get a COVID shot if you lived 119 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: in New York to go to Freakin McDonald's. None of 120 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: that's going to matter. Buck, He's going to claim vindication 121 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: and he's going to be running for president of the 122 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: United States within a year. Generally, historically speaking, it has 123 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: been a lot easier to use the governorship of New 124 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: York to run for president, which makes sense, right, Running 125 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: a whole state even more important than even running the 126 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: largest city in the country. For former New York states 127 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: have become president Clay. Can you give me one four 128 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: former Well, was Fdr Ever the president the governor? And 129 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: that was that was the one that There's a few 130 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: other No, but that's legit to put you on the spot. 131 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: Uh, let me see. The four former governors have become president. 132 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt, was he ever the governor of New York? 133 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: Grover Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Martin van Buren. 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: That that's the bonus round one. If I pulled Martin 135 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: van Buren, I would just leave like the show for 136 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: the day. I'd be like, I just pulled Martin van Buren, 137 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: former President New York. If I had nailed all four, 138 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: no one, I would never be able to question me 139 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: historically ever again, that would be the three porter to 140 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: retire on for sure. But so there have been a 141 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: number of presidents who have been governor of New York 142 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: and gone on to be rather another governors who have 143 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: gone on to be president. Much trickier when you look 144 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: at somebody who had just the mayor, just the ship. 145 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg didn't happen. Rudy Giuliani didn't happen. John Lindsay 146 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: back in nineteen seventy two. Let me see who else 147 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: Adelais Stevenson had Robert Wagner who had been the mayor 148 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: back in the in the fifties, sixties, ere in the fifties, 149 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: I think vice president. So there are a number who 150 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: have done it. Here's what's different, I think Clay about 151 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: this right now, I've never seen a Democrat field so 152 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: wide open, and it is it's anybody's ballgame right now 153 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: to seize the leadership of the Democrat Party because there 154 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: is no leadership with the Democrat Party. It's it's true 155 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: on the media side, it's true on the political side. 156 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: And Cuomo this has cut three. He knows that one 157 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: thing that New Yorkers are any same New Yorker. Now, Unfortunately, 158 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: I always say about twenty percent of the country is unreachable, right, 159 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: twenty percent of the country. You know trans you know 160 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: transing kids, and you know pink hair, and climate change 161 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: is an existential threat. You can't you can't even have 162 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: a conversation with them. 163 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: In New York. 164 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: It maybe more like forty or fifty percent in New 165 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: York City. I mean, but there are still some New 166 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Yorkers who are saying and crime is the issue that 167 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: the same New Yorkers are just fed up on because 168 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: it got so good and then they gave it away 169 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: and rather build a Blasio gave it away. So here's 170 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: Cuomo saying they're going to fight crime in America's biggest city. 171 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: Cut three, we must attack the crime problem. 172 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: After politicians have been minimizing the need for police and 173 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: cutting funding. We must acknowledge this simple truth that they 174 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 3: are just playing wrong, deadly wrong. They set us back, 175 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 3: and we must now return to actually fighting crime. 176 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: That you know, the Democrats as a party have not 177 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: actually embraced that, but he realizes that's his pathway on 178 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: a policy level in New York. Just take take the 179 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, the dangerous drug addicts throwing people in front 180 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: of trains and stabbing people in the subways. Take them 181 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: out of the equation, put them in incarcerated situations, and 182 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: the people of New York will love you forever. I mean, 183 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: that's really he's learning the most obvious lessons from the 184 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: recent past of New York City. So I guess credit 185 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: where it's due on that. If he were to become mayor, 186 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: he would I think he actually would try to clean 187 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: things up, not quite as well as Juliani did, but 188 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: make it better than what we've seen. All of his 189 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: announcement video was not about New York City. It was 190 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: about being president of the United States. 191 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: I just want to. 192 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: Impress upon all of you that the mayoral office is 193 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: a total stepping stone. And even Buck his argument there 194 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: to be fair. If he comes in and crime goes 195 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: down more in New York City, if people start feeling 196 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: more safer getting on the subway, He's going to argue 197 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: that he cleaned up America's biggest city and he can 198 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: clean up the problems of the United States too. I'm 199 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: just telling you he is. It is all so readily 200 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: apparent to me what the game plan is here, right 201 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: down to not announcing till March. Buck, I mean, I 202 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: actually I got to give him credit. I think it's 203 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: really smart. He's not gonna give himself very much time 204 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: to take punches. This primary is gonna be here in June. 205 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Everybody's on spring break, everybody's watching March madness, you know, 206 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: April and may weather starts to get good in New York. Boom, 207 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: You're into June. He's not ever gonna take a punch. 208 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: I really don't think Buck, you know, there's also a 209 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: common tactic that I think it's very effective, a common 210 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: strategy really among politicians to find their historical analog and 211 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: to say that they walk in the footsteps of right 212 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,599 Speaker 1: or something along those lines. For Republicans, until Trump. 213 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 2: It was Reagan. 214 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: Every Republican who wanted to be President of the United 215 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: States from ninth from the nineteen nineties on until Donald 216 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: Trump came along, it was just one big homage to Reagan. 217 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: If you look at Democrats, things have been a little 218 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: bit different. But I think that Cuomo historically is going 219 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: to reach back to the greatness of the one and 220 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: only FDR. I think that's now greatness. I put in 221 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: quotes there, but I'm just saying the Italian American governor 222 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: of New York who comes in with big programs to 223 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: fix big problems. Yes he was a socialist, but put 224 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: that aside for a second. 225 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: He's more reasonable. 226 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: An FDR Democrat has a ring to it that this 227 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: Democrat party could rally around, and Obama era Democrat I 228 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: think is a bigger challenge for them because it's too 229 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: hard left. I can't help but respect it, not because 230 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: I agree with him, but this is a Trumpian move 231 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: by Andrew Cuomo to just refuse to allow his allies 232 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: to end him and just keep plowing ahead no matter what. 233 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: This is the angle they see to making him president. 234 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: I think one reason he got taken out buck and 235 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: I said this back in the day, was because I 236 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: think he would have challenged Biden. 237 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 2: I think that. 238 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, twenty twenty four, in the primary season, 239 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: I think the Biden team knew that Cuomo was gearing 240 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: up to come after them and try to force him 241 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: into a competitive primary. And I think that's one reason 242 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: they unleashed the hounds, for lack of a better way 243 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: to describe it, on Andrew Cuomo. Like, I think that 244 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: was a hit ordered from the Biden team. 245 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: Take some calls on this one. 246 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and two A two two eight A two 247 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: Oh boy, tax season is here again. 248 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: Handling your return is normal. 249 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: Good for you, But what do you do if you 250 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: have missing returns or if you already owe back taxes? 251 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: Remember the IRS the world's most powerful collecttion agency.

I know 274 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: the New Yorkers out there. You're pulling your hairs out 275 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: in wr in Syracuse. In Albany, all over the state 276 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: of New York over this Andrew Cuomo comeback. But I 277 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: think a lot of you are also quietly nodding along. 278 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: It's not about the mayor's race. He is trying to 279 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: set himself up as a Democrat alternative. Even that entire announcement, 280 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: he was trending towards the middle. We gotta get crime down, 281 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: we got to get control of our city streets. All 282 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: of those things are basically national in terms of their scope. 283 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: Because I think he's looking and he says, Andrew Cuomo 284 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: is I mean sorry, Gavin Newsom is a total mess 285 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: right now after the LA wildfires. There's no one out there. 286 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: Gretchen Witmer is gonna run, Josh Shapiro is gonna run. 287 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: But they don't have, frankly, anywhere near the recognition in 288 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: name that Andrew Cuomo has. And I think he sees 289 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: this as his opportunity to seize the initiative on the comeback. Remember, 290 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer is term limited out in twenty six. Josh 291 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: Shapiro has to win a re election battle in twenty six. 292 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: And remember Trump just won Pennsylvania and Dave McCormick just 293 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: won the Senate race, So maybe there is a Republican 294 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: who could rise up and actually give Shapiro a run. 295 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Cuomo's gonna win mayor of New York City. This is 296 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: not going to be a close race, and once he 297 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: wins Buck, He's right back into the centrality of the 298 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: national election. Now, to me, the question is would he 299 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: cooperate with Trump because he wants to appear moderate or 300 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: would he decide that he wants to be the anti 301 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: antagonist for Trump. I think on some level it will 302 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: be a function of how popular Trump is. Is Trump 303 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: worthy of fighting with once you get through the midterms 304 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: because he can't run for reelection, or does he work 305 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: with him and try to just be a moderate. 306 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: This is where we're headed. Prepare yourselves. 307 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: Cuomo is as of the most recent polling I can find, 308 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: he is not even a candidate yet, and he is 309 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: at thirty eight percent and his closest competition is a 310 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: New York assemblyman named Zorn Mamdani who has twelve percent. Yeah, 311 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: he's gonna win. Mayor Eric Adams, the actual mayor is 312 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: at ten percent, which is an astonishingly bad number for 313 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: the actual sitting mayor. But unfortunately I know he's said 314 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: some nice things about him because of the immigration truth 315 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: that he's spoken. He's been a bad mayor. He didn't 316 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: do the job. Also, he's lost a lot of black support. 317 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: And Andrew Cuomo had black leadership in New York City 318 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: as part of this rollout coming up and endorsing him. 319 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: You don't need to pay one hundred dollars a month 320 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: just to get a free phone from a cell phone 321 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: wireless carry er pure Talk says, no two inflated fight prices, 322 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: no to cell phone service plans, too many gimmicks and gotcha's. 323 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: With a qualifying plan, you can choose an iPhone fourteen 324 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: or Samsung Galaxy that's on pure Talk.

Cuomo is very 338 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: clearly thinking he's going to walk in the steps of 339 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: FDR and become a governor of New York then President 340 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: of New York, with a little way stop in between. 341 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: As mayor of New York. I think usually it's mayor 342 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: to governor, but hey, Cuomo's gonna do it a little different. 343 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: So this is a move that all people who are 344 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: wondering what's going on in the Democrat Party I think 345 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: must pay attention to. All Right, Lieutenant, we got Lieutenant 346 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: Dan in Long Island calling in on this one. 347 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: Let's take it. 348 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 4: There's so much to discussed with Cuomo is hysterical. During 349 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 4: the COVID thing, he came up with a plan that 350 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 4: if you sit at table five at a wedding, you 351 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: can only dance in a nine by nine grid with 352 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 4: the number five in it, because you could dance with 353 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 4: the people who are you and breathing on. He was 354 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 4: so radical it was hysterical. But more importantly, this is 355 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 4: the man who wants proudly in the he would never 356 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 4: cooperate with Ice. There are a bunch of thugs where 357 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 4: kicking him out of New York and who proudly passed 358 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 4: the Criminal Justice Reform bail aka the No Barel Law 359 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 4: that has radicalized New York to an extent where you 360 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 4: can't arrest anybody for anything. He proudly passed it. He 361 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 4: passed it twice. He can't run from that, no matter 362 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: how much he wants to ignore it. The people in 363 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 4: New York, they'll vote for anything with the D after 364 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 4: its last name Stanley. But he has no national in 365 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 4: my opinion, no future nationally because of his own words 366 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 4: and deeds. 367 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Lieutenant Dan for calling on this. I'll 368 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: remind everybody Clay that here he is. This is a 369 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: Cuomo flashback to May of twenty twenty one. Remember when 370 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: defund the police all of a sudden became very fashionable 371 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: among Democrats. 372 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 2: Play four different schools of thought. 373 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 3: You want to say, oh, no, which. 374 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: The thing is the no brainer? 375 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 3: Is it a no brainer to put more police? Or 376 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 3: is it a no brainer to say defund the police? 377 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 3: You know, they're both legitimate schools of thought. 378 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: Legitimate schools of thought. 379 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Defund the police, now here's my I don't see it 380 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: as clearcut as Lieutenant Dan does at the national level 381 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: for a few reasons, but one of them would be Clay. 382 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: I think that he's just going to say on the 383 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: COVID issue, he's going to say, I follow the experts 384 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: and let us through a difficult time. I'm not a 385 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: health expert. We've learned a lot of lessons, and before 386 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: we even get to any more, I was what Democrat 387 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: has paid a price for being wrong on everything with COVID? 388 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: None? Not one? Yeah, not one? 389 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: So police, No, No, it's fine. I think that's I 390 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: agree defund the police is politically more toxic than what 391 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: anyone did during COVID. But he wasn't a huge defund 392 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: the police. You know, he was a eight I think, 393 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, and now I'm being a little 394 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: too little, too charitable to Cuomo, I think is a 395 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: is a monster and was horrible in a lot of 396 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: ways during COVID, But on the defund police thing, he 397 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: was clearly just trying to avoid getting smacked down by 398 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: that wave when it was happening. I don't think he's 399 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: ever really been in his heart, he was never actually 400 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: a defund the police guy. 401 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 2: Look at what he said. He said, it's a legitimate 402 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: school of thought. Also, Kamala bailed out the looters. Yes, 403 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: and she began to. 404 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: See Smalllette was a victim of a hate crime, like 405 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: the idea, I understand. 406 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 2: I wish that our caller was right, that there working. 407 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: And I was to say, you know, Kama lost Clay, 408 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: but she was the worst candidate I've ever seen in 409 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: my life for the presidency at a time of the 410 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration in absolute freefall, and she still got seventy 411 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: million something votes everybody, so just we got to keep 412 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: it real. Came within two hundred and thirty thousand votes 413 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: of being president. That's how much Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, 414 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: and Michigan combined. By if Kamala had swept those three, 415 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: she would have won two seventy to two sixty eight. 416 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: So thank all of you in the big ten states 417 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: that didn't allow that to happen. But even and truly 418 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: awful candidate, maybe the dumbest person to ever run as 419 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: a major party nominee ever, and yet to your point bucks, 420 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: seventy five million people showed up to vote for and 421 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: she came somewhat close to being elected. And her background, 422 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: I think is even worse than Cuomo's. When you leave 423 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: us side COVID, let's talk about this with Joe in Brooklyn. 424 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: Joe, he listened to us on w o R. What's 425 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 2: going on, gentlemen, Good afternoon. 426 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 5: Thanks for letting me Van listen. I didn't even think 427 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 5: about him running for president, but I'm with you, Clay. 428 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 6: It's unbelievable, it's disgusting. It's this guy would be a 429 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 6: horrible Mayo. When I saw it the news with him 430 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 6: running for Maya, I was I worked for the city 431 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 6: and I just retired. 432 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 5: A little bit of guy I worked for during COVID. 433 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 5: He was awful, awful, sitting up there with his muscle 434 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 5: shirts dictate everything and listen, it's not the same thing 435 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 5: as Chicago. But I do agree with you guys. New 436 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 5: York is be stupid enough to vote for him, just 437 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 5: like Chicago voter for Brandon Johnson. And I'm so happy 438 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 5: you guys brought up that. 439 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 6: Point about Kamala just now, because everyone you know, listen, 440 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 6: I'm gonna Trump. I love Trump, and I love what 441 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 6: he's doing, but seventy five million people still showed up 442 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 6: their voter for Kamala and you don't hear that much. 443 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 6: I want you hear his landslat and mandate. But you 444 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 6: win by that many votes when you think about it. 445 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, that's just the math, Joe, that's just the math. 446 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: It really is. Those are the numbers. 447 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: So we want to remind everybody of that, because if 448 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: you can get seventy five million people to vote for Kamala, 449 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: you can get seventy five million people on the Democrats 450 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: side to vote for anybody. You don't have to have 451 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: been a successful Democrat politician by any stretch of the 452 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: measure in order to be able to turn out an 453 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: audience potentially enough to lect you president. So that's I 454 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: agree with all of you that Quotmo's got an awful record. 455 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: My concern is Kamala did too, and she almost won. 456 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna point this out too, Cuomo. Anybody 457 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: who knows, Look, I was in New Yorker for over 458 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: thirty years, okay, and I followed New York politics pretty closely. 459 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: And anyone who knows, first of all, yeah, of course 460 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: he's a NEPO baby, his dad, Mario Cuomo. We get 461 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: we get all that right, but so were all Kennedy's. 462 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: You know, you go down the list. I mean, there's 463 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: been there's been a lot of that going on where 464 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: people have a parent in politics and all of a sudden, 465 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: you know, Hillary ran because she of who she was 466 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: married to. Now, with all that said, Cuomo has been 467 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: in the rough and tumble world of New York politics 468 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: a long time. He was savvy enough to get out 469 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: before I think Clay. If they had forced him out 470 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: of the Governor's mansion with a vote, it would have 471 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: been the first time ever, and it would have really 472 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: made it much harder for him. Because he resigned, he 473 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: is in a much stronger position to come back and 474 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: try to make this comeback happen. And he he's considered it. 475 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: He's considered to be like mean as a snake. Okay, 476 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: he's a mean guy. This is well known, and he 477 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: plays very dirty and he never. 478 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: Forgets a slight or anybody. He's He's perfect for the Democrats, 479 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 2: is what I'm saying. In a lot of ways. 480 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: Actually, this is we've been talking about who who are 481 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats going to have to turn to they can 482 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 1: turn to somebody who presents as as a competent, alpha 483 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: male type. I'm not saying he is. I'm saying he 484 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 1: presents that way, right. He said, you know, you know, 485 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: Barack Obama gave a great speech and got everyone you 486 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: know all fired up. Doesn't mean he was good as president, 487 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: but he was able to different people at different skill sets. 488 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: He comes across as somebody who can lead, because this 489 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: is all he's been. 490 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 2: Doing his whole life. 491 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: And if he just does a you know, I think 492 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: I think think you give the Blasio and f for 493 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: mayor of New York. 494 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 2: I think you give Adams a D. 495 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: I think if Cuomo comes out and gets a gentleman's 496 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: B minus, they're gonna think he's the second coming and 497 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: this becomes the launch pad. 498 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 2: That's right, Maria. 499 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: And the reason we're laying this out is to your 500 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: point nationwide, you need to understand what's coming. Because a 501 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: lot of you out there might say I don't care 502 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: who the mayor of New York City is. You should 503 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: because this is about rehabilitating Andrew Cuomo and allowing him. 504 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: You know, he'd raise a lot of money, he'd have 505 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: a big war chest. He's going to be a viable candidate. 506 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna win mayor. This is all very strategic, This 507 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: is all very planned. And then that is the position 508 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: from which he will run for president. Maria up in Westchester. 509 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: What do you think, Well. 510 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 7: Do we all remember when Clomo said that America was 511 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 7: never that great? And now in the speech about New York, 512 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 7: he said, oh, new York was on his own. No. 513 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 7: Trump gave us the Javit Center, he gave us the 514 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 7: ship comfort, but we didn't want to use it. And 515 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 7: I think Adrian Adam has a good chance to be 516 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 7: mayor because she's bulletproof. She's a black woman. She's gonna 517 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 7: get the church, the Black churches. She's gonna she supports, 518 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 7: defund the police and no bail laws. Oh we're going 519 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 7: to be in a mess anyway, but she's got a 520 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 7: good chance. I think. 521 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: Over Culomo, I appreciate the call. I would be stunned 522 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: beyond belief. You can clip this. If Andrew Cuomo doesn't 523 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: win the Democrat nomination in June, he's gonna have way 524 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: more money than everybody else. To your point on the 525 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: black vote, it actually is going to be somewhat split. 526 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: Eric Adams is losing support. There there are now black 527 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: voters who are lining up behind Cuomo because some black leaders, 528 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: seeing the way the wind is blowing, are getting behind 529 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo. And I will point out this too again. 530 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: Nobody pays price for COVID. Do you know what we 531 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: did with all those ventilators that Andrew Cuomo insisted that 532 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: trash trash heat We sold them for scrap. All of 533 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: us got five cents back on the taxpayer dollar. None 534 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: of them were necessary, and Trump was right about how 535 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: they weren't going to be done. 536 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: I was watching the press conferences up there is like. 537 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: We need a million ventilators. 538 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: Let me show you what a ventilator looks like. This 539 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: is a ventilator. 540 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: It turned out that the ventilators were because of the 541 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: way that they were being used as really a first 542 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: line and too early line of defense. They killed thousands 543 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: of people. The only person that I know personally, I 544 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: know one person who died not with COVID, but from COVID, 545 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: and I'm born and raised in New York City. I 546 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: knew one person personally who died from COVID, and it 547 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: was a person who was put on a ventilator in 548 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: the first wave very early, you know, March twenty twenty, 549 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: and he was on the ventilator for almost a month, 550 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: and finally it was too much. They were rushing people 551 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: onto these ventilators. The health establishment doesn't even want to 552 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: talk about this, but it was worse in New York 553 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: and the Tri State area. Thousands of people died who 554 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: would probably still be alive if there had not been 555 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: this absolute panic to throw all these people on ventilators, 556 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: giving them There were other ways to help their breathing, 557 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: even just putting people on their stomach to breathe. They 558 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: are all these things that could have been done, and 559 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: there's been no accountability for that either. 560 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: But Cuomo was the ventilator. 561 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: King for a while, and I remember watching those press 562 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: conferences when everything was shut down. He was horrifying during COVID, 563 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: he was absolutely horrifying. But to Clay's point, and I 564 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: think it's essential, Democrats don't care they were under orders 565 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: from Fauci. As far as they're concerned, as long as 566 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: you were obedient to Fauci, you bear no responsibility for 567 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: anything that happened during COVID. That was true in Michigan, 568 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: true in California, true in New York, there were twenty 569 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: five percent of us that were right, you and me, 570 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners. There were fifty percent who 571 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: went along because they were ashamed of drawing too much 572 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,239 Speaker 1: attention to themselves, and there were twenty five percent who 573 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: were wrong on everything. Democrats are overwhelmingly represented in the 574 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: seventy five percent that went. 575 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: Along or were wrong. 576 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: They now want to pretend that COVID never happened, because 577 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: otherwise they would have to examine all of the failures 578 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: that they embraced. They just went five years. We're coming 579 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: up on the five year anniversary. Buck, I think the 580 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: most consequential thing that happened in the twenty first century 581 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: other than nine to eleven is our response to COVID. 582 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: And people just want to pretend if they were on 583 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: the wrong side there, that they never supported masking, that 584 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,719 Speaker 1: they never supported shutting down schools, that they didn't fail. 585 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: And so for the Democrat Party, they just pretend that 586 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: COVID never happened. And the second part of that is, well, 587 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: what could you have known? Do you expect us to 588 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: have done? That is their argument. Cuomo, I'm telling you 589 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: he's not going to pay a price at all for 590 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: having been wrong. On everything with COVID with Democrat voters. 591 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you can relate to this, 592 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: but last year I woke up one day and I 593 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: realized that I just put on way too much weight, 594 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: way too quickly, heaviest I'd ever been by almost thirty pounds, 595 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: and I was like, this is crazy. I need to 596 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: do something about it. So I got on this past 597 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: summer a whole regiment, and part of my regimen has 598 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: included chalk, which I have here in my hands. 599 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: You can see I. 600 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: Take Chalk's Daily.

But there's no 656 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 8: way that he's going to be even a candidate in 657 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 8: the grand election. He's gonna he's not even gonna make 658 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 8: it past the primary because the Democrat Party has realized 659 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 8: New York politics California politics they don't play anymore. They 660 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 8: had a try for four years with Biden, and when 661 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 8: they couldn't get you know, liberal extremist common law elected, 662 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 8: they realized New York and California are out of touch 663 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 8: and we got to go back to the days. 664 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: Of Clinton and interesting argument. I think it requires actual rationality. 665 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: Here's what I think Democrats are going to say, Buck, 666 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about this when we come back. You 667 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: sign on or don't sign on. I think they're actually 668 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: going to start saying Trump was a unique political star, yes, 669 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: and that Republicans can't produce the audience without him. 670 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 2: I think that's also true. 671 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: I think they view this as going to be a 672 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: whole different universe. I don't think they're worried about JD 673 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: Vance the same way they're worried about Trump in twenty eight. 674 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: And I also think that they look at Barack Obama 675 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: eight years Chicago politics and running the table, running the country. 676 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: So it's very easy to get in the mindset right now. 677 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: But I also believe that a lot of the Democrat 678 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: after action thinking on this is all they had to 679 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: do was have a normal primary, have Biden stepped down 680 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: after term one because he was obviously too old, and 681 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: they would have been in a much better place. They 682 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: screwed that up, but that doesn't mean they don't think 683 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: they could do it the next time.
