| 0:00.0 | Well, Mamdani, of course, piqued on Tuesday night. All the big money, the big donors, the big guy, they're all getting behind Eric Adams. And as we always point out, every single time, those guys get it wrong. They always do this. They got behind DeSantis. Only he can, they always get it wrong. Eventually they'll figure it out. The next mayor of New York, ladies and gentlemen is with us curtis leewa how you're doing oh i'm doing great because they're all |
| 0:26.5 | focused on me as you know mark trying to get of all people me out of the race and as i told |
| 0:33.1 | charlie gasperino charlie there's only one way to get me out of this race in a pine box and put me six feet under. The Gottis and Gambinos couldn't do that in 1992. Why do you think I'm going to leave this race? The race has just started. Yeah. All right, but listen to me, this is always the pattern. The big money guys always get it wrong. They did this. |
| 0:54.4 | They tried to get Trump out of the race. Only DeSantis could win. Well, back DeSantis. Then they figured it out. But this is what's going on with Adams. He's the DeSantis here. You're the Trump here. But what do you need right? You need people to donate right now, right? Yeah. Remember, I am the candidate of the blue collar working class. |
| 0:54.5 | That is... You need people to donate right now, right? Yeah, remember, I am the candidate of the blue collar working class. |
| 1:14.5 | That has become the base of the Republican Party. |
| 1:17.5 | And I remember exactly what you're talking about, how the Koch brothers put all their money against Trump. |
| 1:24.0 | How did that work out? |
| 1:25.4 | And now you have Aitman who first supported Trump good, |
| 1:29.9 | then he supported Cuomo bad. Now he's hoping to elevate Richie Torres to become a writing |
| 1:36.5 | candidate to become mayor. This makes no sense. They're in such a panic. I realize if Zohan Mandani gets elected, |
| 1:46.4 | Kurt Russell will have to come out of retirement and make the sequel to escape from New York, part two. |
| 1:53.0 | There's no doubt about it. |
| 1:54.3 | But I have the best chance. |
| 1:56.4 | I'm the only person that is on a line, a Republican line, and I'm the only person that can recruit |
| 2:03.4 | the same age group that Zorhan has had, which are hipsters, millennials, Jen Z's. If you just |
| 2:11.5 | have baby boomers, Mark Simone, you can't win. They're no longer the majority of the voters, |
| 2:15.8 | and you can't turn away those millennials |
| 2:19.5 | because Trump very successfully was able to recruit male millennials away from the Democratic Party, |
| 2:26.0 | and I believe that gave him such an overwhelming victory in the seven battleground states |
| 2:30.6 | and in the popular vote. Yeah, but they'll say, Mom, Donnie's 33. He's the TikTok, hip-hop, whatever. How are you going to get them away from him? Oh, you look at my videos, you go to my social networking, Instagram, Curtis, you go to TikTok. You'll see that I'm on par with him. I'm out there in the streets. The only thing he doesn't do that I do, Mark, he doesn't take the subways. |
| 2:53.5 | None of these candidates take the subways. |
