WEBVTT - NYC Mayoral Candidate Curtis Sliwa Talks Law and Order

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. We digress here to

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a really important interview, and I would suggest an important

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>national interview. If we assume that we have fractured politics,

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 1>is at worse in France or Japan? Hello man, Okay,

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe New York City's a template for us. Joining is

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>someone who has the attention of all within New York City?

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Lee? What joins us now? Candidate for mayor, always, always,

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>forever affiliated with the GOP and the Republican candidate. First

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of all, I look at any kind of polling and

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm sort of surprised that you're just sub twenty percent.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever polled this high? Is this a normal polling?

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I think at this point.

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I think at this point of the election cycle, yes,

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 3>because they're just polling Republicans who are only ten percent

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 3>of the electorate.

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 2>So fucking independence that they don't pull.

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they do, and I do incredibly well with them,

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 3>some moderate Democrats. And then remember I have an independent

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 3>line that nobody has factored in. Protect animals, no kill, shelters,

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>animal abuses in jail, very popular with women who rescue animals,

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>and naturally they're not heard from in the polls.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I look at the New York Times. They got fancy

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>buttons I can press. I'm not as sophisticated this curtis

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>like Paul Sweeney is. But if I X Adams, they

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>have a tab where I can take them out. Yet

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and I do the math courtiously, what plus Andrew Cuomo?

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Guess what?

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't equal Zeron Mandami, but it comes pretty close.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>What's the tension you see now of the summation of

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the governor and you with the upstart candidate of the left.

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 3>We all know the Poles have been wrong every step

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 3>of the way, been totally wrong.

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Remember two months go back to Iowa.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, no, that's just two months into the Democratic primary.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 3>They were preparing the coronation of andrewmo is Our next

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 3>mayor forty points ahead is Zorhan Mondami. He lost by

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>thirteen points. I look at my mentor in this rate,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 3>George Bataki on November two of nineteen ninety four against

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 3>the better Cuomo Mario. They had him down by twelve points.

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 3>He won by three points. The day before the election

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 3>was no early voting back then. It was either a

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 3>vote November fourth orraps seeing the team valor or that's it.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Look at the Trump election over Harris, it was supposed

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 3>to be neck and neck. He not only won the.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Popular vote, he won the seven battleground states.

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't put any any trust in these polls.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I know what I feel in the streets. I'm in

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the outer boroughs.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 3>You look, I have ten headquarters, I have signage everywhere.

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't see signage at all for Cuomo. So CMO's

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>whole vote is based on fear. Nobody likes this guy.

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Everybody knows he was the author and no cash bail

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 3>raised the age who wants to close rikers. He and

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Zoron Mondami when it comes to law and order are

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 3>two peas in a pot. And then he told about prostitution.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Zoron is in favor of legalized prostitution, but the governor

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 3>at the time, Cuomo signed the legislation to enable people

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 3>to go out into the streets and sell their bodies.

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>So I don't see any.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Differentiation at all between Cuomo and Johan Mondami.

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 4>What is your message New York City residents these last

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 4>days of the campaign.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 3>I am the only candidate GOP candidate that wants to

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 3>slash taxes, corporate tax, income tax, especially the property tax,

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 3>which a mayor does hold sway over and the Citizens

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Budget Commission said, I'm the only one who's talking about

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 3>fiscal constraint one hundred and eighteen dollars billion budget for

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 3>the city and there are no cuts.

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Cuomo and Zoron would actually increase it.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I would take ten billion dollars right out of the

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Department of Education, which is all being spent on the bureaucracy,

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 3>start cutting the Department of Buildings, and get fiscally reliant

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 3>on people like Larry Kutler, who's my advisor, George Spattacki,

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 3>who did that as governor, and then Rudy Giuliani, who

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 3>is the best law and or a mayor we've ever

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 3>had in the City of New York. Now those are

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 3>three titans.

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>This came up this weekend. I said, I got sleeve

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>on Monday. They said, you got to ask him this question,

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Sliwa with the city council. Can you get along

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>with the city council to get things done?

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 3>The benefit of my life is that I spent thirteen

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 3>years raising two boys with Melinda Katz, who was a

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 3>city council person for twelve years, Head of Land use.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 3>She's now the Queen's Democratic DA. She taught me how

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 3>you get along with city. Can't you do that? It's

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 3>called discretionary funds. You go into the district, they beat

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>you up. You meet with the staff, because the staff

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 3>does all the work, remember the elected officials, because the

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 3>electeds are always dialing for dollars, shaking people down for

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>political contributions. And then you say, I just want one

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 3>vote from you, and I get you your discretionary funds.

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 3>You're looking for a new park, you're looking for a

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 3>new playground, you're looking the.

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Capital list politics a trade.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I get one vote that I desperately need to show

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 3>that there is dialogue even with those who are considered liberal,

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 3>progressive democratic socialists of America. If you don't do that,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>no matter who the mayor is, you're not going to

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 3>be able to get the City Council in a majority

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 3>way to back any of your initiatives. You'll be impotent,

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>as Eric Adams say, is now because Adrian Adams, the

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Speaker of the Council, is the real mayor of the

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 3>City of New York.

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 4>What's your policy for which is an issue that's very

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 4>closely intertwined homelessness and crime in New York City.

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 2>What's your policy?

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, homelessness, I deal with emotionally disturbed in the subways

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 3>because I'm the only candidate that actually rides the subways, campaigns,

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 3>takes the buses, the express buses. That's six million New

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Yorkers and others who at one point of the day

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 3>or night are using mass Trandsit I've been dubbed by

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 3>the Staten Island Advance the mayor of mass Transportation. We

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 3>need to get the homeless into the shelters, but we

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 3>have to make the shelti shafe.

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Now they're not. It's like Darwinian survival of the finish.

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.239
<v Speaker 3>And we need to get the emotionally disturbed in state

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>mental hospitals, the very hospitals that aew Coomo creid from

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.239
<v Speaker 3>forty thousand beds down to four thousand before he fled

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 3>fearing impeachment to the Hamptage.

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And for you, Curtis Sliwa, for all of you across America,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>good morning. He is a Republican candidate in a fractured

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>New York City mayoral contests. Let me quote exactly from

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>AI because that's the way we rolled Curtis in the

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>twoy twenty one New York City mayoral election, Kurtis Sliwa

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>received twenty one percent of the vote in the Bronx.

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I would suggest President Trump stunned the nation with his

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>minority success in the last election. Do you need that

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to win? How are you going to get the minority vote?

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And everybody thinks they don't go near you come out?

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>You got twenty one percent in the Bronx. How do

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you improve that?

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Everybody knows that Curtis Leewa is Republican who can go

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 3>into three hundred and fifteen neighborhoods in some of which

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 3>the only Republican they've ever seen is Abraham Lincoln on

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 3>a five dollar bill. I've led a group of Guardian

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Angels that are predominantly black and Hispanic. I'm polling now

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 3>at about thirty percent in the Bronx. Remember, Eric Adams

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to be the new face of the Democratic

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Party that I ran again.

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Is mom Donnie the new face of the Democratic Party.

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's face it.

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 3>The Democrats allowed the fox into the chicken coop, first

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>with Bernie Sanders and AOC and now Johan Mandami.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I blame Adams. I blame Cuomo.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>I blame the Democratic establishment because they have surrendered their

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 3>party to socialism, and I am the only one who

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 3>is advocating capitalistic policies, cutting taxes, cutting the budget.

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Law and order.

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 3>We live in a city where we're best known around

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 3>the world for locking up toothpaste and not locking up criminals.

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, who does that? That's the Democrats.

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>You got to run like fifteen times to get a

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>line like that.

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's great, locking up to do this immigration?

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 4>What's your views on immigration here? This is a city

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 4>that's got a history of supportive of immigration.

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 2>We've got a.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Statue out there in the bay there.

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>What's your view.

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, many of the migrants now are essential workers in

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.559
<v Speaker 3>the restaurant industry and the hospitality industry. If you start

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 3>snatching them up because they're not wanted for crimes committee

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 3>either the country or origin, nor here, then you're going

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 3>to be depleting that workforce. I have three sons. None

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 3>of my three sons would do that kind of work. Now,

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 3>you go after, as Trump called them, the bad Ombrage,

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 3>the drug dealers, the sex track case, the cartel runners. Yes,

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 3>and Ice was being appointed when they first did that.

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 2>But your card here.

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Adams could say the same thing. I don't buy it,

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>but your card is you've got a special relationship with

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>President Trump with what we see in Chicago, Portland, LA.

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Give me some other towns, Paul.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.479
<v Speaker 2>They're out of Portland, multiple Memphis.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>In New York, I know from personal experience, are scared

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>if they're migrants, immigrants, Green card holders to go out

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>in the street. What's your relationship with President Trump that

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>will make New York City, not Chicago, not La.

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 3>First of all, I'm leader of the Guardian Angels with

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 3>groups in every one of those cities you mentioned, and

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 3>they need the National guard We don't. Kathy Hockel, the

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 3>governor sent a thousand National guardsmen into the subway last

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 3>year when we had a crime crisis. We're okay in

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 3>that regards focus on the really crime ridden cities. I

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>would have dialogue when not only President and Trump respectfully,

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 3>but the members of his cabinet. Preemptively, when you see

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 3>something is coming in your direction, you've got to meet.

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna win, You're gonna.

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Try to sort of, as we would say in Italian Medzica,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>megic poco poco half and half. The Trump administration will

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.559
<v Speaker 3>get some of what they want. Hopefully the city will

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 3>get some of what they want. But when you have

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Zora Mandami and Andrew com saying I'm gonna fight Donald Trump,

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 3>guess what You're gonna lose if you fight the President

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.319
<v Speaker 3>of the United States because he holds the purse strings.

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 4>What do you make of the rise ofs for Mamdani here?

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 3>It is simply because the Democrats were asleep, like Rumphel

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 3>still skin.

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw zor On Mandami.

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>He was out organizing votes for Democratic Socialist candidates.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>They know how to get their vote out.

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 3>The moderate Democrats are now dependent on Republicans, Conservatives, and independents.

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 3>It's over for the moderate Democrats. They've sacrificed. They've waved

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>the white fleck. They don't even primary the liberals, Progressives,

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 3>and the Democratic Socialists of America. They're afraid of them.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm not afraid of them. I stand up to them.

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>If we assume that mister Mumdami is getting out an

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>original vote, I mean he's getting out people. You know,

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a stereotype of never voted before. How do you

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>get out the sleeve of vote of Democrats? You can't

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>do just understanding how do you get out that vote

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>like Mamdami's getting out these.

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Voters because I'm out in the streets. You see the

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 3>headquarters in ten neighborhoods. You see the plackets everywhere. I'm

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 3>the law and order candidate. A lot of the out

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 3>of Democrats for law and order, they're not fan angeel Coomo.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I was in.

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I want you to do this. One zero zero two nine,

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and tenth Street, Spanish Harlem. That post office

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>between Third and Les. You walk in that post office,

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody in there is some form of first or second

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>generation immigrant. What do you say to those people to

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>get them to vote for Lincoln's party?

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Wow? Law in Order right. They're against no cash bail.

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 3>They want the raise the age lower back to sixteen

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 3>because now we have all these juveniles doing drive by shootings.

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 2>And they want Rikers Island kept open.

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Why is Cuomo and Zorahan Mandami wanting to close Rikers Island?

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Where are they going to put inmates.

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 3>They're going to be cut loose and they're going to

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 3>just terrorize people in the streets. And remember the number

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 3>one number of workers in New York City of women.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Talk to the women They're going the subway, being sexually harassed,

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.719
<v Speaker 3>they're being perved on, They're afraid to go out at night,

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 3>they can't afford taking yellow cabs, ubers and lyfts, and

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 3>nobody is talking about what women have to go through

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 3>in New York City. I know because my wife, who's

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 3>an e attorney, has explained it and has done my

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 3>very first commercial about the plight of women being victims

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 3>of random attacks. What random attacks? This is being directed

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 3>at women and they're not being protected.

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of talk about financial support. What financial

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>support do you have for the next twenty day dash

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to the election.

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 3>I have collected actually in the three the last three

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 3>quarters average donation one hundred and nineteen dollars more matching

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 3>funds than Johann Mandami, Cuomo and Eric Adams combined. We're

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 3>talking about donations from New York City residents. The others

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>are getting their money from out of state. I would

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 3>take the money of the local New Yorker who obviously

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 3>is putting their reputation on the line when I'm getting

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 3>an eight to one match and I'm on TV, and

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm in the neighborhoods, and to have the money.

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>To run a campaign people want.

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Our news reporters want to know. Are you even considering

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>dropping out the shift this campaign?

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 3>You know what, talk to the dropout King who dropped

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 3>out against Carma Coll running for governor, Andrew Cuomo, who

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 3>dropped out and fled to the Hamptons because he feared

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 3>impeachment Andrew Cuomo. Did Donald Trump flee to mar A

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Lago because he feed impeachment? Did Donald Trump flee to

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 3>mar A Lago because he was a victim of law

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:30.319
<v Speaker 3>fair by Alvin Bragg and Tiss James. No, he showed

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 3>up in court each and every day. Calmo is a coward.

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 3>He's the only one who's ever dropped out.

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for joining Bloomberg this morning, Curtis Lee. Well,

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of course, may Oral Kennedy here. We hope to get

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>all of the candidates in here. As we dashed the

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>first Tuesday of November,
