| 0:00.0 | Well, Rob Astorino, long-time broadcaster, former Westchester County Executive. He was one of the candidates for governor this year, and great time with us. Rob Astorino, how you doing? I'm good, Mark. You saw that poll and Sienna poll that came out? Yeah, first of all, it's Sienna College. It's not a real poll. It's a college poll. Second of all, it has Zeldon 14 points behind. |
| 0:23.1 | That's actually pretty good. Pataki was much further behind at this point. Yeah, no, there's actually a |
| 0:29.1 | lot of good news in that. I mean, Hockel and the Democrats will try to spin this, but if I were |
| 0:33.9 | Lee Zeldon today, I'd be happy with this kind of poll. First of all, Biden is underwater in New York, right? |
| 0:39.7 | Right track, wrong track, which is a huge indicator. |
| 0:44.0 | It's 14 points underwater for the Democrats. |
| 0:46.9 | People in New York think we're going in the wrong direction, including even worse in the suburbs. |
| 0:51.9 | The job approval rating for her is not good. |

| 1:07.1 | Delden is winning the suburbs, 4643. |

| 1:15.0 | She's an upstate person. He's beating her upstate. |
| 1:17.7 | I know. Yeah. Well, you know what? Look, upstate has been decimated by the Democrats and the suburbs. |
| 1:23.3 | This is kind of a revolt of everything happening in the city and in the country with regard to |
| 1:30.1 | inflation and all that kind of stuff but here's the numbers where it's right about where she needs to |
| 1:36.9 | be she needs to get a little higher it's new york city she's winning 70 to 21 now that seems like |
| 1:42.9 | a huge difference and it is normally. |
| 1:46.5 | But if she stays at the end of the day in November, if she stays at 70, and Zelda ends up with 30, Zelda's going to win the race. |
