well bernad castro one of our favorite guests a great career in the government also of course

in the private sector great business woman and uh good to have her back with us bernad castro how you

doing i'm doing great mark how are you doing excellent hey let me go over something with you you were

a big part of the pataki administration you were there on the the campaign trail. It was very similar to right now. People saying, a Republican can't win in New York

State, too many Democratic voters. What was what was it like on that campaign trail? And it's true that

it was really in the last week when he won it, wasn't it? Yes, I would say maybe the last two weeks.

There was a fly around the state, and he just came forward with information that really

disparaged Mario Cuomo, and it was factual.

So I don't want to get into it on the air, but your listeners can probably Google it

or look it up online, but it was very tough. The governor was just forthright, and it wasn't at all what I would call, you know, negative or dirty, it was just the truth. So, you know, can I just talk about Leiseld in a minute? Yeah, but to finish that. So, in other words, a few months out,

every pollster was saying, you know, it's impossible.

Republican can't win in New York.

Just like now, but you can.

You can. You can.

Absolutely, you can.

And I will tell you, it's most important.

But if you're not registered to vote and you like Lee

Zeldon, you need to get you, your family, your friends. If you've moved to a different address,

you have to go to re-register with a new address. We need every vote out there. And we need

some Democrats to cross that party line.

And, you know, Lee Zeldon was so brave when he was attacked.

And people were wondering, you know, he was really brave.
