When fall rolls around, we're going to kick into the mayoral race big time. And Mandami could win. I gave you the poll numbers last week. But if you combine Cuomo and Adams' poll numbers, they beat Mandami pretty handily. So Cuomo's at 25%, Adams at 11. I think Adams is probably higher. The poll's not favorable to him.

This is slingshot strategies. I don't even know what that is. But Mandami, he's at 35, that's where he's going to stay. I mean, he may drop. He could win if there's three Democrats in the race. Now, Cuomo says he'll drop out in September if he's not leading or whatever. He said his deal is, look, who's ever leading between Adams and Cuomo should drop, should go on and the other should drop out. That's what Cuomo is proposing.

I don't know about Adams. I don't know what he's going to do. He's got a lot of money, a lot of big money coming in. to Adams right now. But he's not a successful mayor, his first four years. A lot of people don't care about that because they think that Mandami is such a threat. They'd rather have anybody but him. Because he is going to, if he wins, the quality of life, if you think it's bad in New York City now, and I'm talking to people in the Bronx and Brooklyn, Queens, and the tough areas, do you think you got it tough now? It's going to be 10 times worse if this guy's mayor

because he hates the cops, and the cops don't like him. Okay? So it's San Francisco, here we come. Totally anarchy on the streets, in the subways, all over the police. Because the cops are going to quit en masse if he's elected. Early retirement, looking for jobs in other precincts. I know a lot of NYPD are doing that right now. They're submitting applications to work in other police departments.

They don't want to be in New York anymore. So, quality of life, under Mandami, nightmare, nightmare, going to happen. We have it on tape on W.A.B.C. If it doesn't happen, I'll play you this day, but it will. So, how does this guy get so far? I talked to a young woman, very smart, who voted for him, and I said, do you see the danger? First thing she said to me was Trump's a fascist. So we're not talking about the president. We're talking about Mandami, a man you voted for. Trump, and all I heard was Trump.

Mandami, she didn't know anything about him. All she knows is that he's going to give free bus rides to people and free some rents, whatever. It's just gobbly cooked. It's gibberish. He's not going to be able to do anything. of that. But he can say he can do it. It's like Fidel Castro, who Mandami has studied. I now know that because I've been watching how he speaks, and he just takes from Fidel Castro's 1958 statements, almost word for word. So Mandami is a guy who really people don't know who he is. They know he's

far left. They know he's a socialist, but they don't really know who he is. This young woman had no idea. She just hates Trump. And because she hates Trump, she's going the other way in the extreme. And she's like Cuomo, obviously, that Cuomo's got a problem with likability, and Adams doesn't connect with her at all. She's a white girl. And so I'm sitting there, and it's not my job to convince anybody of anything. I don't do that. I lay out my point of view, which is about 90% accurate. Okay. And And then you can take it or leave it. You know, I'm not going to come to your house and go, I have to agree with me. I am smarter than you.

I have more facts than you. I don't do that. So I didn't try to persuade the young woman. I just said to her, if he wins and you vote for him, it's your generation that's going to get it right between the eyes. You are going to get it because you are the person who, you are the person who, you are the person who was putting together your future right now with your salary, with your job, with your lifestyle, with all of that. And all of it's going to decline because you make a pretty good buck

and the city is going to take more of it away from you and you're not going to get anything back. And if you're unlucky and you walk down the street, you might get a cement block in the head and nothing's going to be done about it because you've got recidivist violent people running around with no punishment, and Mandami will make that worse. I did say that to a woman, and then I think her retort was Trump's a fascist. There's some crazy thing.
