Ryan Reynolds here for MintMobile. With the price of just about everything going up, we thought we'd bring our prices down. So to help us, we brought in a reverse auctioneer, which is apparently a thing. MintMobile, Unlimited, Premium Wireless. How did it to get 30, 30, a bit to get 20, 20, 20, 20, a bit to get 15, 15, 15, just 15 bucks a month.

So, give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Up front payment of $45 for three-month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. New customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See MintMobil.com. So the race is on. The New York race for mayor, Eric Adams, wants to be reelected, and he's being challenged

on a Democratic ticket by former governor Andrew Cuomo. Now, I predicted that Cuomo will win that primary in June. Could be wrong, it's a prediction, but I'm pretty good at this, as you know. But Adams is not rolling over here. So he's on the reset talk show. I don't know what that is, but there's a million of these things around now. Adams is on the reset talk show, and he goes after Cuomo. Roll it.

You know, you can't come back later and try to reinvent your life when you were in office already. The recidivism we're seeing in our city is because the laws that were passed by him. When you look at the homeless crisis that we're seeing, it was some of the programs that he, shut down. When you looked at what happened under COVID, a report is being released of the bickering that took place between him and the previous mayor that didn't allow New York to get the resources that they deserve. We look at the deaths in the nursing homes. Okay, all that's true, but Adams in three years hasn't corrected any of it. See, okay. Yeah. Cuomo is responsible for the no bail law, I signed it.

Yeah, the homeless situation remains out of control. Then you can go back to COVID and that's that. But as far as problem solving is concerned, Eric Adams, I don't know. I don't know. What's better? In fact, to back up my statement, and I'm not, I don't have any dog in this hunt to use a cliche. Adams has been respectful of me. Every time I see him, I have a decent conversation with him.

I have no Adamus toward him. Cuomo, same thing. I don't care who wins. I just want the city to be cleaned up. So the head of the New York Transit Police, a guy named Scott Highland, Captain, he faked crime stats to make it look like crime was going down to something.

subways. And they caught him. He falsified reports, even for signatures, okay, according to this internal affairs report on a man. So they busted him down. He sent him to Jamaica Queens, and he's through as far as NYPD is concerned. But it just goes to show you that the violence in the subways is at a crucial level. And what's Adam's done. If you look back, Hoke will put the National Guard there. Then Adam says he's doubling it up, then it's this, then it's that, then it's da. It doesn't work. That's reactive. The reason there's so much violence is you've got mentally ill people and violent people who are not confined. The city and state will not confine them. A lot of them live on

the subway and they're going to hurt you if they can. Sometimes there's no reason for it. They're mentally ill. But the city and state won't take action against them. You could put 100,000 cops down there. All right? It's still going to happen if you had these people wandering around. So, Adams has not put forth any solution to any quality of life problem. And the taxes keep going up and up and up, and this congestion thing, that's a tax? For what? What are we getting for all that money? Nothing.

Every street, it's got marijuana smoke. It's filthy, dirty. In the Bronx, you've got kids walking in front of drug addicts. I mean, come on. And you're the mayor. And you've done nothing in three years to make it better. So you can attack Cuomo. you want, but anybody thinking about casting a ballot has to look at reality. I don't know

if Cuomo could clean it up. I think he's probably a tougher guy than Adams, but I have no confidence he could, but that's your choice. And then on a Republican side, Slewa, Curtis Slewa, late of W.A.B.C., he's probably the toughest of them all. Not probably is. But I don't know if the Republicans' MF juice to get them into office.
