welcome to the show uh well i don't know what to tell you i don't know what to tell you listen

we got through the pandemic we'll get through this we'll get through. We got through eight years of De Blasio. We'll get through this. We'll go over everything that happened. What's going to happen? A couple of things we now have all the results in, all the numbers. Only half in New York voted, but that's high turnout. It was a big, big turnout,

0:38.3

biggest turnout in a couple of decades, but it was still, only about 50% of the voters showed up.

0:44.5

can't stand the guy. And he had a horrible record as governor, just a disaster as governor. He did

1:42.6

horrible things to New York and uh single-handedly

1:47.2

caused the crime wave with his no bail no jail and closing the prisons and all and then the list i could

1:51.8

read you the list of 20 horrible things he did to new york so he and he and he left in disgrace

1:57.2
