| 0:00.0 | well uh the governor's race we got a lot of great candidates you got lee zeldon you got uh you got |
| 0:06.9 | you got andrew juliani i've been a big uh rob astorino fan he'd be a great governor and he is running |
| 0:12.7 | and uh if you want to help go to rob astorino dot com you can donate volunteer that's the website |
| 0:18.7 | rob astorino how you doing? |
| 0:38.4 | A little confused today, Mark. I'm not sure what gender I want to be, so I'm trying to figure that out today. Hey, this poll came out. I'm doing great. They announced some poll, which I never heard of. And it said, Lee Zeldon is in the Lee Zeldon. But there's other polls that show you guys are ahead of Lee Zeldon but the establishment keeps pushing the Zeldon what is that all about |
| 0:43.2 | yeah so let me explain how these polls were you got to be a little iffy when the candidate |
| 0:48.6 | puts out his own poll and doesn't release the poll and gives you numbers. So here's how some of this works, |
| 0:56.7 | because I've been involved, I've known polling for a long time. They started off by saying, |
| 1:01.9 | hi, Mr. Simone, I'm from Bobo Blow, polling company. If the race for governor were today |
| 1:08.3 | between candidate A and candidate B, who would you vote for? |
| 1:11.0 | So then you answer. Then they ask questions like, if you knew that candidate A was a serial rapist, a |
| 1:18.6 | hater of women, and a, you know, loves Hitler, knowing that to be true, who would you vote |
| 1:26.4 | for a candidate A or candidate B? |
| 1:28.8 | And then, so obviously the numbers change dramatically, and they released the final numbers. |
| 1:33.7 | So, look, the good news is this. Hockel, by all standards, all polling, is really weak. |
| 1:41.5 | She is very beatable. And if Andrew Cuomo jumps into the race, which he'll only |
| 1:47.5 | have to run now because the filing deadline is Thursday, so he can't run in the Democratic primary, |
| 1:52.5 | he would have to run as an independent. And if he does that, he's going to suck away a lot of votes |
| 1:58.4 | from the Democratic nominee, like Lee Hokel, splitting |
| 2:02.1 | it up. So I, or any Republican, let's say, but I could win with, you know, 42, 43 percent |
| 2:08.5 | of the vote. But we match up very well in the primary, you know, against Zeldin or whomever |
| 2:14.2 | it is. And it's because of sort of results in a record and experience |
