Let's see what Polly Markets says. 94% chance that Zoran will win. 5% for Cuomo. I watched the press conference that Eric Adams, where Eric Adams endorsed Cuomo. But it was very interesting. Adams gets up there because Adams was in the race. So Adams was the incumbent,

and it was going to be a three-year-r race between Adams, Cuomo, and Mamdani. and then it turned out that Adams couldn't win. He had a corruption charge. I think Trump pardoned him. Yeah, Trump pardoned him, and there were that whole controversy over that, or decided not to prosecute, something like that. And then so, but then, you know, he wasn't going to win.

And then so Adams gets up there with Cuomo, and he's endorsing Cuomo to stop Mamdani. And it's funny. I was wondering what, like, how are they going to attack him? So, Cuomo starts, or Mamdani starts by saying, He did something very offensive to the Italian-American community because there's a picture of Mamdani giving the middle finger to someone very important to that community. So he's talking about, I think he's talking about Christopher Columbus. So it's like he did this thing.

He talked about how Mandani stood with somebody who wants to target the LGBT community. He must have hug out with some Muslim leader or something. It was a very identity-based thing. And he's like, the people who support Mobdadi is, the people who support Mobbdadi are, he goes their gentrifier. Like, we don't need, we don't need these people who come and tell black and brown people how to live. So it's like a very identity-based campaign. It's like, it's like the identity politics is, the identity politics is, you know,

it's like Italians, gay people, you know, it's like a coalition that Mbdadi is like offensive. being offensive to it. Then Cuomo starts talking. Quombo starts talking about, you know, we're Democrats. We're not democratic socialists. We don't believe in defunding the police. We believe, we don't believe the New York, NYPD is a bunch of racists. So it's a very identity. It's funny because they're like the work ones. They are focusing on identity politics. They barely mention like, you know, they say Cuomo says he's Democratic socialists. He doesn't like he doesn't really say why that's bad. he says, oh, you know, Mom Dani Wads,

he demonizes businesses. Eric Adams says something along the lines of. He doesn't want you to be able, you know, doesn't want a landlord to be able to charge enough rent. So there's a little bit of that. There's a little bit of attacks on his policies. But it's mostly about this weird identity stuff. And so I thought this was like primarily a right-wing thing,

because if you go to right-wing Twitter, It's like he's a communist. Oh, yeah, we need to deport him. He's a Muslim. He's like an Islamo communist, which is just like, you know, it's pure racism because he's not, I mean, he's a leftist, right? And so just like his, it's just making an attack on him based on his color and his background, which has nothing to do with his policies, which is a typical democratic socialist. It's just a completely identity-based attack, which is this is what right-oids do these days. But the Democrats, Cuomo is doing a, you know, Cuomo.

was doing something similar here. I don't know why more people don't jump in. I mean, this is kind of like Cuomo was damaged goods because he had those sexual assault allegations or those sexual harassment allegations more like it. Maybe there's been one or two cases of actual sexual assault allegations. But it's like it's so stupid.

It's like he kissed a woman on a cheek. He called somebody a Mingol Mama. It's like so stupid. And they drove him out of politics for this. and they, you know, they toppled the New York government, as Michael Tracy put it. Michael Tracy's been writing about this after talking about the upstead accusers. He's moved on to the Cromo accusers. And so he's, you know, he's become a defender of wrongly accused men.

That's kind of become his beat. So this, so yeah, so that's going on. Mandani's likely to win. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun because you're going to see the rinoids melt down. And you're going to see, you know, he's either going to moderate or he's going to, he's going to rule like a socialist. And the great thing about democracy, the great thing about federalism is you can't force people to stay in New York City. I mean, he can, you know, even the biggest city in the country can decline if you actually go all out on these kind of policies.

And so, yeah, that's going to be, it's going to be fun to watch. It's going to be fun to watch culture. Like, Trump is just going to run against Mondani. You know, it's like this foreigner or this Muslim. It's like this, I mean, these congressmen, they're just disgusting. Like you can't, like these Republicans, like you can, no civilized person can be on their side. Andy Ogles, I think is how you pronounce his name, some kind of some congressman from the middle of nowhere. And he has a thing like, oh, New York City, never forget this morning.

And it's like a picture of a plane, the plane hitting the Twin Towers. It's like, oh, you're, you know, after 25 years after September 11th, you guys are. elected, you know, Osama bin Laden's protege or something. It really is, it's just disgusting. You can't have a country like this. You can't have a, you can't have a, you just, they're like, they're so surprised that Dick Fuentes is like taking over. This is how like Republican, normal Republican congressman talk. There's this one guy, uh, Randy Fine, um, who's a giant, you know, 400 pounder probably, uh, from Florida. In the same speech, you're saying, we're going to need to deport Mamdani and also say, you know, we have to stand firm against

anti-Semitism, right? You just want there to be like a fascist regime that includes Jews and says that non-white people and Muslims are outside of the, outside of the national community. It doesn't work. It's not plausible. You've opened the door to this. And of course, Fuentes is going to walk through. Yeah, what else is going on? California is going to vote on. You know what? I did not vote. I got a letter in the mail. I just didn't care enough to vote. You know, I used to not, sometimes I would not vote on principle because of libertarianism. And then I started to believe in democracy, and then I started to vote because of that. And this time, I just didn't vote because I was lazy.

You know what? I could still do it. I think my ballot is here. Let's fill out my ballot together. Okay? Yeah, cool. Okay, here's my ballot. Let's see what's on here. I could mail it today.

Statewide special election. Okay. I got a sticker. See? Okay. I can request a ballot. I can drop it off next to me. Okay. Yes or no? Authorizes temporary changes to congressional district maps. Here's the question about the redistricting. Maps in response to Texas as partisan redistricting. Oh, they put that in there. They put that on the ballot.

It says authorizes temporary changes to congressional district maps in response to Texans. Texas is partisan, redistricting, legislative, constitutional amendment. Okay? So it requires temporary use of new congressional district maps through 2030. You know, I'm going to tell people on Twitter this. Come join me. Okay. So I'm going to say, well, I think what the Republicans are doing is unfair,

and so I will vote yes on this as soon as I can find. find, as soon as I can find a pen. Okay, I have this pen. I don't know where this came from, but this is what I have. So I'm going to vote, yes, I measure 50 to fight Trump's fascism. Okay, proud of myself.

Let's see, is there anything else here? Wait, is this the only thing? Oh, that's the entire ballot. I thought there was something else going on. Okay. Well, wait, so they call, So I haven't been following the news enough. That's the entire ballot.

How about that? Okay, that's the end of it. Yeah, I don't know. I think this thing is supposed to pass. Yeah, Trump really just does go out of his way to kind of break all norms. He just, that's where he goes. He goes to Texas and just tells them, you know, Texas doesn't want to do it themselves. And Trump says, no, no, you got to get me some extra seats.

Okay. The other thing is there's a mayoral race in New Jersey. Like the New Jersey candidate, the Republican candidate, let me see, I remember these people's names, New Jersey. Let's talk about Virginia first, Virginia. Now, Abigail Spanberger, she's like a resistance mom, CIA type, who became, you know, pretty for her age. She became, she became, she came into Congress. I think like in response to Trump, it might have been like 2018, this big wave election where all the normy suburban women rose up against Trump.

Is that right? So she became, she was in Congress. She's 46. She's got three children. See, just normal bureaucrat, white woman who believes in the system, not like this Trump guy, not like these magas. So CIA, 2006, 2014, yeah, 2018 was her first election. And then she, did she lose?

She won with 51% in 2020. And then 2020, yeah. And so she ran for election. So yeah. Yeah, and so she lost, 52 to 48. Okay, so she won in 2020. She won. She lost in 2022.

Now she's running for governor of Virginia. You know, Glenn Youngkin did some good stuff on DEI. I talked to Brian Kaplan about what's going on at George Mason. I don't think, so Spamberger is the kind of politician I like, because she's a white woman who believes in the system. This woman she's running against, it's going to lose. I mean, Spamberger's almost sure to win. Winston Earl Sears.

She's like this black woman who's like, yeah, I'm going to, I love this. by Second Amendment. And, you know, if you touch a fetus, we're going to blow your head off. I mean, just terrible, just like the worst kind of, you know, it's kind of these black Republican novelty act types. And so, yeah, I mean, I don't like Winston-Earl. Sears, I don't like the fact that people like this rise in the Republican Party just because they're black.

And she's also got three children, interestingly. So you have a woman with three children running against a woman with three children. How about that? That's interesting. Is that, like, I wonder how many times that's happened in American history. A woman with at least three children running against another woman with at least three children. That could be the first time in history. It's pretty rare.

Let me see. Let's ask if chat GPT. Has there ever been a gubernatorial election in the U.S. where both major candidates were women with at least three children. This is what slides through is for. It's to get distracted by these things. 1986, Nebraska. Okay.

Oh, no, no. So one of them had two children, and one of them had one child. Yeah, this could be the first time this has ever happened in American history. which is interesting. But anyways, Spanberger is like the kind of like normal... He's a liberal. She's a Democrat.

She's not going to be the person that I agree with on most things, but not just like a kind of... The kind of intellectual and kind of cultural disaster that someone like Winston-Earl Sears is, even if I agree with her, on something. She's like, you know, moderate on immigration, which is not

something... You know, she's been like openly moderate against some... immigration policies. She was like more of us. She talked about inflation. She tweeted criticism of Trump's reaction to George Floyd protests. Yeah, she called them a totalitarian, which is all true.

Being very anti-Trump is good. So anyways. So yeah, so she's going to win. Hopefully Virginia will have good. Hopefully, they'll have reasonable politics in Virginia. and not go back on the DEI stuff. And, you know, she's got, I think, a, I think the legislature, I think, is either split or is the legislature also on the line today? Let's see.

Yeah, I don't know. But anyways, Virginia is a very, very evenly divided state at the state level. And, you know, eventually Republicans will have to become serious people and nominate, like, they nominated a serious person, Yonkin, and then he won. And then they go to dominate this clown woman. the next time. So they can do either one and they need to be like they just need to be serious people, but they're not. It's kind of, I don't know, it's kind of random. It's like the same

electorate can go for where I'm together. When some er, Sears was the lieutenant governor. So how did she become lieutenant governor? Yeah, so like what you, so the lieutenant governor in Virginia run separately or do they run on the same ticket? Let's see here.

In 2022, she criticized Trump and she said she wouldn't accept of running again after the 2032. Then she changed her position, of course. Yeah, okay, so she won the nomination. So the lieutenant governor runs on a separate ticket. They're not on the same ticket, but it's a different election. So like Mark Robinson, when he was running for governor, there was a different lieutenant

governor. That's apparently South Carolina, Virginia, maybe other southern states too. No, Mark Robinson was North Carolina, right? And so she won 54 to 46. So Young Kim got the nomination for governor, and she won the nomination for lieutenant governor, and that's how we ended up with this crazy woman. Young kid did not pick her. Yeah, the man she beat was named Tim Hugo. I don't know much about him, but he must be.

He must have been more normal than Winston Earl Sears. So, like, they love these, they love these buffoonish black candidates. They love these Mark Robertson. They love their winsome Earl Sears. funny video. There's this funny video that the Spanberger campaign put out where it's like Earl Sears looking crazy and like talking about like

coming after like people who support abortion rights like going to get theirs and she's talking about guns. It's like a kind of Willie Hornet but it's like the Democrat with her nice looking white family criticizing the Republican for being a gun toting like religious fundamentalist crazy person.

And so this is like this is kind of this is part of the realignment. I mean it's a fun. It's a funny kind of thing. where it's like there's this cross-racial coalition where just Republicans love these people. You don't see in the, interestingly, in the south, you don't see like rednecks, like becoming like nominate. I guess Tommy Tuberville, like, completely brain damage.

They're like, it's like among whites in the south on the Republican side, like it's kind of more, it's still kind of more of an elite class. But then when they have blacks, southern blacks on the Republican side, they're often novelty characters. Like, Tim Scott is not a novelty character, kind of a muting awkwardly, but pushed because of his race. So, like, these white southerers just love, love, they're based blacks. And so, yeah, this is how you end up with someone like Winsome or Earl Sears.

Okay. So that's fun. So that's a fun race. Mamdani is a fun race. Mombani and Cuobo is a fun race. the Virginia governor race. Now, the New York governor race is the New Jersey, sorry, New Jersey gubernatorial election.

And so this is fun because it's a woman named Mickey Cheryl. And then the guy named Jake Kietrelli, is a Cetrelli or Catrale? I do Jack. Sorry, Jack, not Jake. And this guy is like, I guess like Jack Posobie. and like many Johnson are competing for him. But he's trying to be a little bit different from Trump. He's trying to make some distance to Trump,

but like Hannity is like, you know, promoting him. Like they love the idea of picking up a democratic seat, a democratic governorship at a democratic state. Let's see what's up with Michael Tracy, by the way. Okay, Michael Tracy is still missing. Yeah. And one thing I don't like this guy, this Jack Chitorelli

was I saw him running an campaign that's attacking Cheryl, this woman, for being a for being a yimbi, for running skyscrapers in the suburbs. Like, Northeast Republicans really are the worst people because they are like strong nimbies. They really run

on the idea that nobody should be able to build anything. And so this guy, I mean, is supported by these Mac influencers. He's anti- I'm very negatively inclined towards him. Let's see. Let's see if there's Wikipedia page. If we can learn anything more about this race,

that's worth knowing. Yeah, nothing. It doesn't tell you, let's see. It just has, like, where is the issues? Yeah, there's nothing about issues. You go to the Wikipedia page. Yeah, I guess it's typical Democrat versus typical Republican.

Let's see. Let's see, well, maybe we go to Chitrali's Wikipedia page. and see what kind of policies he supports. He said he is in favor of abortion rights prior to 20 weeks. Okay, so that's interesting. He's got a chance in New Jersey. And this is, by the way, a close race. I mean, it's like five points in the Democratic side.

So it could go the other way. Let's see what Polymarket says. Polymarket, New Jersey governor's race. Let's see what it says. Okay, it's got Mickey Sherrill, that 87%. He's 14%. So she's not as likely as Mamdani to win, who's at 95%. She's at 87%.

So, yeah, the Republican is probably not going to win, but 14% is a puncher's chance. So Chitrelli's favor of abortion rights prior to 20 weeks. So this is very, very moderate for a Republican, and this is maybe why he's close, right? This is kind of, he did not support overturning roadie weight, right? He called Trump a charlatan at 2015. and then in 2020 he was headlining Stop the Steel rally.

Yeah. Okay, so he supports driver's license for illegal immigrants. Well, that's it. In 2021, he supported, okay, interesting. In 2012, he voted to recognize same-sex marriage. Okay, that's interesting, too. So it's relatively pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage. You know, he doesn't want to be teaching LGBT in schools.

Yeah, he's expressed support for gay marriage. So he's for gay marriage. He's for early abortion, and he's against building things. I don't know how strongly that being against building. I wonder on this YIMBY thing. I wonder even if a Republican still might be better than a Democrat. Even like a NIMBY Republican might be better than a YIMB Democrat, unless it's like someone really focused on this issue just because Democrats are,

like it's like most people become, like most things that are done in the NIMB direction are done because of labor unions or environmental law. So you could be there not necessarily trying to be a NIMBY, but if you support labor unions and if you support environmental groups, you're going to just, you know, as a consequence, make it harder to build things. So even, you know, maybe I should, maybe I should throw my hat behind to Trull. Not paying attention enough, but yeah, I don't, you know,

I heard this guy rubbed me the wrong way based on who supports him based on the kind of commercials he's running. Okay, is there anything that's going on? Are those all the elections? Gilel of Fortune says, Jaliel, I'm a Jew from New York. Obviously worried about him on Dany socialism, but how seriously do you think we should take his anti-Semitism?

I mean, not seriously at all, like, what do you think he's going to do to you? I mean, he's not, he doesn't control foreign policy. So, like, what are you worried? What are he worried about exactly? He's got to, like, you know, go demagogue. No, it's, I think, I don't think he's anti-Semitic. I think that leftists who are opposed Israel are not necessarily anti-Semitic.

I think rightists who oppose Israel are anti-Semitic because they are. You know, they often think that Jews organized jewelry is itself a problem. But anyway, even if he was anti-Semitic, I don't see what he would do to Jews as mayor of New York City. Okay, let's see. I'm going to find Michael. I'm going to find him by texting him. Let's see. Maybe I'll talk about heritage and Fuentes a little bit.

Rufo has to take up Fuentes. Okay, we'll look at that later. Yeah, I have a piece coming out tomorrow. I just basically saying that Fuentes is a preview here. Fruentes is like a more honest version of MAGA. Because the MAGAs, they love to do this, the NADCons. They love to go around saying, We are a nation, not an economy.

Oh, I have ancestors here. Like, Vance has said this. Like, you know, you can't tell me what to do. Apparently, Michael got into some fight with Curtis Slee, well, maybe that's why he's like, well, that's interesting. How do you know this? From Twitter? Let's go see what this is. Anyways, you'll see my article tomorrow.

Heritage Fallout. Tom Jones, head of the American accountability fund, and sent an email to Hill offices, warning them not to hire a deceitful honorable staff. I've sub-tweeted Kevin Roberts' messages like not see are bad. Oh, that's funny. There's something called the American account of, yeah, these people, these people, these rinoids, Michael tweeted. Okay, let's go to Michael's.

I got distracted by this. Michael Tracy. Just asked Curtis Slewa if he had some bad blood with Trump back on the streets of Queens in 1980s, and that's why Trump was endorsing coma and giving Curtis off such a hard time, Slee was says Trump should focus on solving the war in Ukraine. The various recent, I see. Okay. So that's one tweet.

So, Michael, yes, here's the kind of question I write. I like. Richard, how do you feel to be so accurate in the British community? Your writing was spot on. Yeah, I mean, I've been talking about the rightness. And somebody was telling me, oh, you supported Trump. Like, you haven't been talking to, like, no. Like, the last, like, three or four years,

I've been talking about how the Republican Party's becoming crazier and more extreme and the base ritual. That was all before the Trump election. I just said maybe there's, you know, enough of establishment Republicans around to make Trump kind of sensible and have policy that's not so bad. It was much worse than I expected. But I was talking about, like, I thought that it was headed towards corporization for the last, I don't know, three years, four years or something like that.

I thought it was becoming more, like, what exactly the bad thing it was heading towards? It was more like, it was just going to become dumber and more conspiratorial. Like, now it's like a little bit veering towards like explicitly Nazi, but either way. I mean, it's just, it's going to someplace very, very bad than we are. We are not, like, nobody, like, people are in denial. People don't understand, like, you can't have a country. You can't have a movement where, like, the most popular podcasters in the country are Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

Like, that's, you're already lost, like, this Fuentes thing. It's like, Fuentes is sane. Fentis is way saner than Tucker or Candace. He's just more racist. And, like, but, like, this is what you're picking about. This is what the right-wing audience was. The right-wing audience is trash. The most popular podcast of the country on the left are New York Times and NPR, right?

Like, you know, whatever you think of them, like, people who are connected to reality, like, people who actually want to know something. A person who's listening to Tucker or Candace and, like, thinking they have insights is insane. Like, you can't, you wouldn't trust them to walk your dog. I mean, they are out of their minds. Yeah, here's somebody. Conservatives always go around saying you're going back to random minorities. freak out about fantasy.

Some people are just in denial. I mean, you do have to pay attention to the comment section. You get up to spend their all day reading Twitter comments, but just get enough of a sample and see how like every, all the energy on the right is with people who are racist or conspiratorial or crazy. You know, and that's like you could look at the comment section, or you could look at, like, the top podcast in the country, or like where Trump gets pushed back from his base.

Right? These people are like, oh, it's all right. No, like we see the group chats. We see, you know, people being quoted in the position to know saying like 40% of, you know, young Republicans are like groupers. Like this is not like a thing people are just making up, are looking for. This is the dominant trend. Like Ben Shapiro is also like one of the top 10 news podcasts in the country. He's not as he's not as high as Tucker or Candace. But he's just grandfathered in. He's like the only personality who is not some kind of. conspiracist or ethno-national. He has an ethno-nationalist on behalf of Jews, obviously. But, yeah, he is, let's see, but he's not a white ethno-national, so the American sense. And like, he's the only person who has a prominent position in the conservative media system,

and he's just grandfathered in. If Ben Shapiro was coming up today, he wouldn't have an audience, because there's nobody who wants conservatism without racism or conspiracy theories. Let's see. I'm going to send an invite now to, let's see, how do you invite someone?

Will violent crime increase in NYC under Mamdani? I mean, it depends on what he does. It's politically difficult. People are going to be very hypersensitive to any increase in crime. This is like democracy kind of working in this case, because it goes up a little bit. Here's Michael Tracy.

Okay, I'm going to invite Michael Tracy. And then like, he might just be, like really paranoid and he has to do what it takes to keep crime down, right? So like, you don't know, it's hard to predict. So, Michael, what are you doing? Are you, are you out in public, I see? I'm in public, yes.

I hear some Germans in the background. Oh, should I'm, I'm going to move if there's, you can hear that, if there's like a radio piping in the background. Yeah, tweet this out. Tell people you want to talk about your fight with Curtis Sleeva. I just posted it if you want to pull it up.

Yeah. I looked at it, yeah. I'll move away. I mean, it wasn't really a fight. People are, it wasn't even really a fight. People are so afraid to mix it up. That's the whole point of especially covering a New York City mayoral race. I mean, are you kidding?

Put a reply. Put a reply to that tweet and then put this link. Hold on. I'm setting up my computer in a different spot. All right. I'm going to reply to you and put it there so people can. see it. Join me. Michael's internet connection is unstable. Oh no. Is it? That's what that's what the alert says. It says I have five full 5G right now so it should be good. Okay. The audience can

tell me I can see you but the audience can say if they have any problems. Okay so yeah I'm going to see you posted a video. I see you just posted a video now. It's the audio. Let's see here. And then he screamed at you. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah, so I'll, I'll pull it up because I want to watch it.

You and you. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, it's just the audio. Yeah, and while I'm doing that, there's video, there's video somewhere, but I can't find it right yet. Well, it's on your, isn't it on your Twitter feed? No, I'm saying the video that I post is just the audio. Oh, I see.

There should be a video version somewhere. He almost seem to have such vitriolism for Cuomo, but less so for Zoron, who you almost seem to have a begrudging admiration for on some level, just given his political savvy, if nothing else. And what do you make of Cuomo's aides saying, oh, Sliwa did a deal with Zoron,

and you're angling for some position? I don't know, animal welfare is Zara in the Zara? Is that, is that separate he's interested, animal welfare Zah? Is that something he's talked about? Is that it? Well, he's, he created his own ballot line to supplement his Republican ballot line.

So he's running as a Republican and also a member of like the animal welfare party. And he famously has like 17 cats in his apartment that he saved. So yeah, so Musk was talking about this. Like I guess you appear on the ballot multiple times if you have multiple parties that endorsed you. You can appear with multiple ballot lines.

Yeah, I mean, New York is a bizarre system. Because there. Is there a limit on that? Okay. the Democratic. No, there isn't really. Remember, Cuomo lost the Democratic primary in June.

So he's on the ballot in the general election as an independent. So I can create 100, I can create 100 fake parties, get my name on the ballot 100 times, and just dominate the ballot. Well, I mean, there's some requirement. I don't remember exactly what it is,

but pretty much, yeah, you can do that. Okay, let's see what this edible lawfares are. Okay. And the rest of you, journalists. How can we do that? Journalists. You're doing it too out now.

said that. Everybody. And how many times should I say I'm not dropping out? Every day, freaking day. Instead of asking me about each year, they ask me about he said. He is such a good fellow's character. Am I partnering up with Johan Mandami?

Pause for a second. Pause for a minute. Here's my impression of him. I ride the subway every day. All right. Every day I'm on the subway. That's you. He says that a million times. Go ahead.

Oh, I'm on Dami. There would be no Sioux-on-Mondami if he would have won a campaign. There would be no sore on a long as mayor if Eric Adams did not have quite decent job as mayor. He turned out to be a crook. And so everybody looks at Andrew Cuomel and they look at Eric Adams and they say, I don't want to go back to those dark days. Nine people indicted who are with Cuomo in the Buffalo Billionsdale. His very dear friend, Elon Musk, who stole a billion dollars.

out of all pocket. What's he's talking about? Elon Musk stole a billion dollars. No, he's saying, he's saying, because Elon endorsed Cuomo yesterday. Did you see that?

Yeah, and Trump, I wonder if that was, I wonder if that was like kind of, uh, pro gay chess, like Trump wants Mamdani to like be a punching bag.

I don't know, but there was this whole, like, scandal when Cuomo was governor, the bundled billions. It was like an economic development thing in Buffalo. And I guess there's a claim.

that Elon stole a million dollars or something from it? I'm not aware. Was it like a Tesla something or something kind of plant or something? I honestly don't know. I never heard that before. Okay, let's see. It's in that deal. What? I mean, 25 solar panels

and all that much. And nine of Cuomo's colonies went to jail. No, no, no. Corruption starts with Cuomo and Eric Adams. I have nothing to do with saw on Mondami. In fact, when he was on the stage and he said, oh, I would write George Curtis.

you, I said, don't be glazed in me. I'm not talking in time with you. I'm not going to. This is going to glaze it? I just started hearing it. Is this something the kids say, or is this an older phrase? Like, I'm at his age. Is that like, is, is that like a reference to, like, ejaculation or something?

I don't know, but, like, you're sucking up to somebody. You're, like, glazing. You're, like, looking them and you're making them. Curtis thinks he's very hip. He thinks he's down with, like, the youth lingo. Apparently he is. I don't know. Like, this could be an old thing.

that became new again. I don't know. And I've only started hearing it recently. It's something black folks say, somebody says. Political enemies, there is no difference between Andrew Cuomo and Zah, Mamdami. They are pro-quine. They are raised the age that almost killed the life of my oldest son, Anthony. They are for no cash bail.

They are for turning... Who almost killed his son, Anthony? He was saying that his... New York City politics is so funny. So he has a son that he had with... The current, one of his ex-wives is the current DA of Queens County, Melinda Katz. Okay. And he had two sons with her and they're Jewish because Melinda's Jewish.

And now her new husband is the former governor, David Patterson. And so there was like an episode either this year or last year where one of the sons was like surrounded or he was getting ready to have his ass beat by people on the street. and then David Patterson intervened and saved the son or something. Okay, so the crime, so yeah, so Cuomo and, yeah, okay. In the Susan, right, his island. So who has more uncommon with Sir Amandami? The architect, Andrew Cuomo, when he was filming her,

and his apprentice. Does he an architect? So Cuomo, so back when Cuomo was actually trying to mollify the progressives in the Democratic Party, you did do some of, some of like the criminal justice reform stuff, such as, cashless bail.

I don't know the exact details off the top of my head, but that's what Curtis Lee was referring to. Okay. Meaning the guy that attacked his son, meaning the guy that attacked his son or the would-be attacker of his son was let out back on the streets thanks to the policy of Cuomo.

Okay, so that's a good. It's a legitimate thing. Rudy Giuliani and charge for talking as a law and order to panic. Well, they're having a Bloomberg. I'm a real deal. I'm keeping it in real. You know, this is information for me. Bloomberg backs Cuomo. Bumo back Cuomo.

Oh, yeah, Bloomberg would it back. Yeah. Wait, so Giuliani, of course. Pataki, I don't know what's happened to Plano. Giuliani, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised Giuliani is, they're able to make statements. Well, you got to remember

when Pataki was elected governor very unexpectedly in 1994, he defeated Cuomo's father, Mario. So it goes back that long. This campaign has gotten down to him. Andrew Cuomo You're endorsed by Pataki, but not Donald Trump. He's the Republican president.

Well, no. And I said he has a right to his own. Of course it goes out of the world. Curis, no doubt about it. Curse, are you afraid to criticize Donald Trump? I call him Curtis. Do you know him? I don't know.

He seems like a casual guy. Presumption. I've talked to him a few times before, yeah. Okay. He endorsed the guy who you're declaring to be this Voldemort figure or this villainous figure who is insanely corrupt. He's saying everybody must vote for Andrew Cuomo.

You're willing to spew plenty of vitriol of Cuomo, rightly or not. And then when Trump comes up, he says, no, he has a right to his opinion. I've never known you to be so tepid. He has a right to his opinion. He's waiting before the mayor of election. He endorsed originally Eric. That's so funny.

Pause for a second. Pose of a second. These, I love New York City Republicans are the funniest people on Earth. I love them. I try to spend as much time with them as I can. and they don't know what to do right now because Trump, Trump is pulled the rug out from under them. Because remember, it's not just a matter of the mayoral candidate. It's a matter of the entire Republican line.

So like council candidates, lower office candidates. And there has been an active campaign, you know, among New York City Republicans in favor of Slewa. Now he's been abandoned by like his top financial benefactor, John Kassimatidis, who's the proprietor of the WABC radio station, which is basically like ground zero for a Republicans in New York and, um, and others. But, you know, for, for Trump to say vote for Cuomo, that damages the downbound ballot Republicans as well. Um, and so I talked at this event in Queens that I was at with Slewa to this, uh, Republican councilwoman whose district we're in right now. Um, so this is a Republican area, actually. And, um, I'm like, so what do you make of Trump, Donald Trump? Because I asked, I actually asked,

what, different question. He didn't give his animated an answer, so I didn't put it in this sequence. But Trump didn't just endorse Cuomo last night, be like as though, what he said before is he prefers a bad Democrat to a communist, therefore vote Cuomo, right? But last night, he actually said

that Cuomo's capable of doing a, quote, fantastic job. So I put that to this councilwoman, who's a Republican, and she was like, I love my president. I would never say anything bad about my president, but I have to disagree. Like, they can't say anything bad about Trump.

Well, that's fair. What do you want them to do? I don't want them to do anything. I don't want them to do anything. I'm just pointing out the bind that they're in. Okay. Let's see. Yeah, this got 30 more seconds.

He hasn't endorsed me. I would have welcomed his endorsement, but it wasn't forthcoming. But again, this is an election about the people. It's not an election about the president or anyone else. He's free your way in. We'll see me by tonight. If his endorsement of Cuomo in the last waning seconds, where Cuomone tells Republican C, he's endorsing me, but Democrats, no, he didn't endorse me if that

trichnology works. I don't think it works. He comes up, he comes up with all these bizarre coinages. In the first question, I asked him about just the general Trump endorsement, meaning the enthusiasm of it, with Trump saying that Cuomo could do a fantastic job, right? It wasn't just this big grudging endorsement, at least last night, with the truth social statement. And Slewa was like, yeah, he's better off, he's better off trying to solve the war in Ukraine rather than the New York City mayor. Yeah.

Well, that didn't get, that didn't get a, that wasn't in the video, right? So it was a longer exchange. That wasn't in the video. I mean, it was a longer exchange. I should have, maybe I should have posted that part as well. But I wanted to get immediately to the screaming part. Yeah. All right.

So in general. Tweet under, listen, tweet, tweet, or link, tweet this link under the, you retweet me. But you should read, you should do a tweet under the tweet of the Sleeva video, which is going to go, which is going to go viral. Whatever. Come on, we want, we want an audience. People need our insights. People need guidance. I don't know.

I don't know if it's, I don't know if it's going to go viral. I mean, I think I've been shadow banned on X because of my Epstein stuff. You think so? Hmm. When I first started getting when I first I mean my my engagement went way down in like July when I first got involved in the Epstein stuff really intensively. And I've lost like several thousand. I haven't gained any followers ever since. Why would that? Why would it work? Why would it work like that? Because because people would be interested in the Epstein stuff. Even if they want to yell at you like people yell at you and then you sometimes keep going even more viral. So why would why would that work like that? I don't know.

I don't know. I see a Hasidic Jew. Can I ask him who you voted for? Can you see him? Where is? No, I can't see him. Yeah, is that guy in a coat? Yeah.

Okay, ask him. I see him. This is going to be a... I'm going to shout out to him. I'll go over to him right now. He's going to accuse you of anti-semitism. He's going to base you. Excuse me, sir.

How you doing? I'm a journalist. Did you vote in the election today? Sure. Can I ask who you vote for? Was it Cuomo? I just want to know your logic, your rationale. It was Cuomo?

Okay, this guy did you vote for Cuomo? Could you explain why? I'm not really in the rush. You're in a rush? Yeah, Tom is here for me. Tell them your walk with him. For whom did you walk? I'm a journalist.

I'm actually, we're on a live stream right now. So from whom did you vote? I live in Jersey City. actually. So I voted for Jack Chitterelli, the Republican, gubernatorial candidate, and I voted for Jim McGreevy, who's running for mayor in Jersey City. But I guess I'm... We were

a little bit nervous with Mandani. Right. Because we're not sure with him. Right. His liberalism too much. What do you think about his stance on Israel? This may also be a problem. Okay, okay.

There you go, a man on the street. Michael Tracy literally interviewing random Jews in New York City and asking them, join us on this. He was hesitant to tell me in this. He didn't want you to think he had dual loyalties. What, voting for Cuomo means you have dual loyalty? Well, maybe if it was too much about Israel,

he was like, oh, yes, he's going to, you know, maybe he's paying attention to the Goyper discourse. I love New York City. I love New York City. I love the way that people talk. I love it like you just go out and you find these stock characters of like different ethnicities and groups.

That's awesome. It is amazing. It is amazing. Just the past couple days have been amazing. Like I went yesterday. So I spent Sunday on Staten Island, okay? Staten Island is, I swear to God, the funniest place in all of America.

Because it's like a republic, big Republican enclave in New York City. Just like imagine the characters. Yeah. So you meet so many people out of Central casting, right? I don't know if you saw the little article that I did for Substack, but I pretty much identified a new species of voter, which is the

begrudging Cuomo voter, meaning the people who were making a strategic sort of last minute decision to vote for Cuomo because he's the only viable option, right? And Trump reinforced that last night. But then yesterday, I was following Cuomo around, and I went to Brownsville, Brooklyn,

which is one of the most, one of the most destitute, if not the most destitute parts of the whole city. It's like overwhelmingly black. And we went to a seat. your center in Brownsville, which was all these older black ladies who were like chanting Cuomo. You know what? I listened to your...

And then from there, from there, I went back to Staten Island to a pizza place. And then this, then last night I went to Astoria Queens, which was like one of the big left-wing havens, right? That's like Zoron territory. And was like among these like DSA people. Now, you know, then this morning I'm in, uh, Middle Village Queen, which is like, King of Queens, I don't know if you know the show, territory, which is more Republic.

I mean, it really is interesting if you ever get a chance to do like a political geography survey of New York City. Yeah. So I'm going to live. I'm going to live in New York. So when my children at Rand, Michael, I'm going to come live with you. And I'm going to do live streams with all the, all the characters, all the characters of New York City and one day.

That's my dream. You said like six months ago, I'm moving to the D.C. I say things. I say a lot of things, but I'm a family man, unfortunately. Anyways, I did, I watched, I read your article, but I did not watch the video of them chanting at the senior. So let's, let me just play this real fast. No. All right, that's, that's fun.

And then I did, and then I did a little, and then I did a little interview with one of the ladies. And she was like, we don't know about that. Zofon or like, she didn't even know. She refused to even learn how to pronounce his name. Uh, yeah. Yeah. I'm assuming the, he's probably, he's probably, he's, I won't. even consider

yeah Cuomo's base is probably blacks and ethnic rights I assume and like new immigrants are first Mamdani is that how it works well and Jews I mean there are stampes of Jews rushing out to vote for Cuomo uh uh huh

and so so uh he I mean it's so I mean it's he he went and like had to solicit the endorsements of these like different clans right in the Hasidium so like there are different divisions and factions that have like rivalries amongst themselves and they had this big meeting

last week, I think, where they joined together and, like, met with Cuomo and then issued this endorsement. And then there was, like, a rumor that one of, like, the splinter got, like, leader within this, I forget the name of the sect now. He could actually be endorsing Zoran. And then that was overridden by, like, the superiors. It's just so funny. Yeah. It's like, it's like the, it really is like the Middle East. I mean, they talk about Zorab.

Do you see this stuff, like, Islam or communism? It's like kind of the Orthodox Jews seem like closer to kind of a, kind of a, you know, third world politics kind of thing. Yeah, somewhat in that they take direct, I mean, the way to get through, you can't really, because think about it, you can't really campaign to them directly, you can't, especially the

women. The women won't talk to you. If you're like a male canvasser or something. So the only way to get their endorsement sort of as a block is to go to the sectarian leadership. New York City percentage Jewish. What percentage of New York City

are Orthodox Jews? So 12% a Jewish total. So maybe it's, yeah, let's see here. Yeah, I don't know. It's probably substantial. It's probably like 5% or something. But Zoran's base, I assume, is like what? Like people earning $150,000 or something and barely getting by in New York City.

Professionals, is that, is that it? So I don't know how fully where you are with the geography, but think of like Long Island City. Think of like Green Point, Lower East Side. it's the more like classically not lower class because that would be Cuomo

right Brownsville's Cuomo but lower middle class maybe relatively speaking in New York City whereas and then the richest parts like upper west side or places like that they're going to be Cuomo

like like like lower middle class in New York City like you might be like a lawyer or something right I mean you might make like 140,000 a year

Like you're probably Yeah, yeah, exactly. Uh-huh. Yeah, so they're rich, but they're poor for New York City or middle class for New York City. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. That seems to be what I'm thinking. Why did you vote for that Chitrelli guy, by the way? Oh, because, you know, I never revealed this at the time, but I voted for him in

2021 as well. I felt like you. I felt like a type of reactionary because I voted for him because at the time, Murphy, the current incumbent Democratic governor who served two terms, two terms. terms too many. He had these COVID policies going where every day I would see these little groups of five-year-olds, literally, would be like walked around by the teacher outside where they would all be required to wear their masks. And it was a minor thing, but like it was just just so irritating. No, no, I was a one issue of voter on children masking too. Yeah, I was a

one issue of order on children masking too. So, but so you remained loyal to him all this time. It's not that I'm loyal to me. He's just like a Republican moderate squish, essentially. So it's not a big of a deal in way or another. I don't like Mikey Cheryl because in 2018, she won her seat in Congress. And she won it in the district in New Jersey that I grew up with, which was Republicans since before I had been born. So Republican before 1988 up to 2018. And she was one of these like national security women that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee recruited with like Alyssa Slotkin and Abigail Spanberg. Yeah, yeah.

I love best women. sick, oh, they're all CIA, they're all like CIA or naval aviators with like hardcore intel training and stuff. I hate them. My own preference, right? So I didn't want to vindicate. I knew I would never vindicate the long, in the long term, this like Democratic Party strategy of elevating these women.

And they're all like performatively moderate, right? But moderate in like an annoying, very contrived, calculated way, not because it's like a genuine belief or anything. Yeah. And she's run a horrible campaign. she she tried to inject Epstein I actually asked Jack Chitterelli about Epstein he said yeah release the files

which therefore doesn't mean anything she won't endorse like Megan who was with me when we went to the New Jersey gubernatorial debate asked Mikey Cheryl will you endorse will you reciprocate the endorsement of Zoron because remember Zoron since June has been trying to moderate he wants any Democrat

who is like middle of the road to back him, right? So he'll accept an endorsement from anybody. And so somebody asked him an interview, would you endorse Mikey Cheryl, who's the gubernatorial nominee in New Jersey because, you know, there's a lot of by-state entities that the governor of New Jersey

and the governor of New York and the mayor of New York City have to collaborate on, like the Port Authority. I don't know if you know it runs like the bridges, tunnels, airports, etc. Yeah, I learned about it during the Chris Christie. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. But Mikey Cheryl, because she's like just jam-packed

with consultants who are like calibrated her every move. She says, oh, I'm not even going to comment on the New York New York City as though it's irrelevant. I mean, there could not be a more relevant race for New Jersey. I mean, it's like a, it's such a joint economic and transit area and like commuters, et cetera. And she won't, she won't, she pretends to have no opinion on whether she supports the Democratic nominee in the New York Senate. The oral race. So she says so annoying. And so I have to vote against her. That makes sense. I wrote that up from New Jersey. She's not from She's from Virginia.

Jack, whether you like him or not, he really is like an Ellis Island, New Jersey guy. Oh, look at you. You hit you, Jersey Nationalist. Where are they at? I'm doing, I'm doing, I'm doing blood and soil. Oh, and then on the pumping gas, that's another thing. Mikey equivocated on pumping gas.

That's my proudest, that's the proudest legacy of New Jersey. And if she's going to equivocate on that. So I want somebody who's going to call. Jack wants, Jack wants to keep them pumping your gas. You're not being allowed to come. Great. Yeah. Absolutely.

That's so retarded. You know, you're allowed. You know, you're allowed. If you like it, you could open a gas station where they'll get your desk. No, never. Okay. Never allowing it. Over my dead body.

Yeah. So I saw, I read at the times that, uh, this Chitrelli guy, like apparently a bunch of Maca influencers were like going there to campaign four, and Pesobic and like all these people. Jack Posobic, Benny Johnson flooded in, they had a big rally It's just like the See, I would have voted it. I would have voted the other way

Just for that. Yeah, I mean, they didn't help his case I don't know. You know what, it's dumb. Oh, and this guy, Scott, what's his name? The guy with the long hair who got caught having sex. Presler, whatever, the one who looks like a woman.

Scott Presler. Yeah, the guy who got caught having gay sex in the RNC office. Was that it? Did you know about that? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, I'm thinking of something else. There was a Democrat, a Democratic staffer.

No, no, no. Did you remember this? That was a Democrat. That was a Democrat. That was a Democrat in the Congress. Okay. Scott Presley, who got caught in 2020 having gay sex in the RNC office. But he had to start his own, he had to start his own republic because he was a big influencer.

Now he's at the White House, like, meeting with Trump and meeting, like, meeting with Lara Trump. And so he flooded in. I think, I think it might be, you know, and he's, you know, and he's a big, you know, He's going to, if Chittarelli does win, he's going to take credit. Because this guy claims that he delivered Pennsylvania to Trump in the 20, 24. Yeah, I always see him on Twitter. Like, we are the ones who registered all the, like, he's horrible. He tried to get, he, he launched these social media mobs against anybody who said, like,

something that was, like, a little bit, like, a little bit rude about Charlie Kirk, get them fired, like, these low-level people, security guards and stuff. He's horrible. Yeah. So, yeah, I thought, I think. But so they those guys came in because you know, New Jersey and Virginia are the only two gubernatorial races in the country. So they had to go somewhere, right? So they had a rally in Wildwood, not Cape May. Cape May. That's Cape May County.

Wildwood for Jack. But, you know, there could be an irony in that I don't know if like outsourcing or get out the vote operation to these social media stooges is really the most efficient use of funds. But they convince these like older Republicans that like they're in tune with the youth, right? and they know all about social media. So therefore they should give them a bunch of money and get out the vote. Yeah. Yeah, so I was looking at the, yeah,

so it looks like this woman, Cheryl, is that how you pronounce it? It looks like she's going to win. And Spanbroker's looks like it's going to win too. So it's going to be a good, you're about to be happy if it's a good night for these CIA women. Well, it's been, it's gotten a lot, it's within the margin of error in certain polls in New Jersey.

So prediction markets, you know what prediction markets says? And in 2021, the polls overstated Murphy's margin. So it was a pro-Republican error. Yeah, I remember this. This was the one COVID restrictions election. You're mentioning that. As I remember, 2021, that's when Young can run, and then that's when New Jersey, the Republicans came.

And then remember, in 2024, the two states that trended most Republican overall were in New Jersey and New York. Hmm, interesting. Okay. So we'll see if this is the start of something. How much did Trump lose New Jersey by? He only lost it by like six points maybe, which was like historically overperforming. It was the best performance by a Republican in New Jersey since 1988

under with George H.W. Bush. Yeah, you know, Trump won. Trump won outright a county that had voted for Hillary by like 30 points in 2016, Biden in 2020 by like 20 points, something like that. Wow. It's an increasingly Latino County, Passaic County. And since Trump overperformed among Latino voters, he ended up winning Passaic County, New Jersey, outright, which was amazing.

Interesting. Yeah, so Trump only won Arizona by like five and a half points. So Arizona and New Jersey were about equal distance. I think Arizona was a little bit closer than that. But yeah. It says right here. No, it's 52 to 40s. It's a, let's see.

Yeah. No, it's like five and a half points. I'm looking at it. Yeah, New Jersey was what, six? New Jersey, let's see here. Do you have any takes on the Virginia gubernator election besides the Spanberger thing? Yeah, it's about six.

It's just under six, you're right. Yeah. Yeah, so that's swing state territory for New Jersey. On Virginia, no, not that. I haven't followed that closely. I mean, I think Republicans might have had a chance to win if they didn't, for some reason, nominate that lunatic

Yeah Lieutenant Governor Who You know Just seems like she lacks emotional control And I don't know It's just a bad candidate Yeah

I guess they figured she's next in line She's a black woman Uh huh Yeah But they elected her too Like the lieutenant governor Run separately On the risk

They elected her as lieutenant governor First of all And then they That's true That's true They love these black novelty Candidates In New

Yeah In New Jersey, they run on the same ticket. Actually, there was no lieutenant governor in New Jersey since its founding until the mid to the 2010s or the 2000s because there was a situation where after McGreevy, who's actually who I voted for in New Jersey in New Jersey City because he made a comeback. He was the governor of New Jersey from 2002 to 2004 and he resigned and he because he announced I'm a gay American. Yes, I remember that. There was a scandal about how he had given a high profile. high-profile homeland security job to his Israeli gay lover? Imagine if that happened today.

Imagine the conspiracies if they happen. But what people... Yeah, exactly. Well, talk about conspiracy. Let's say hypothetically, if Cuomo does win or Zoran loses in New York City, I guarantee you immediately there's going to be claims that Israel interfered in the election. Yeah. And if Zoran wins, I mean, Iran-Musk is already saying that the election is rigged.

did you see he posted the ballot? And he's like, what's going on here? There's a multiple times. He just doesn't know anything. And just like, you know, it just says shit. Well, yeah, because you can vote. Yeah, because you can vote on multiple ballot lines. And that's Elon so stupid.

But, yeah. So, oh, but in New Jersey, when there was a vacancy in the governorship, right, it then went to this president of the state's Senate, who was actually my friend in high school's uncle, Richard J. Cody. And he became the governor. but then it took, like, at a certain, like, it was unclear when the acting governor became the governor. Like there was a statutory, I think, time frame or something, but it just became a thing, right?

So they finally established a lieutenant governor position, but they'd run on the same ticket. New Jersey's weird because the governorship is very powerful. Since some states, the governorship is not that powerful, but in New York, in New Jersey, the governorship is very powerful. So in New Jersey, it's even more powerful than New York because the governor appoints the attorney general, meaning the Attorney General is not independently elected like in Virginia and in New York so it's a powerful governorship What takes what take do you have?

I would just say I was just a observer as a what did your take on the mayoral race in New York City from wherever you are LA So I was just going to say that's how very interesting race today The Attorney General in Virginia the guy who was like sending messages like I haven't been paying attention to like the polls or what's happening there but it's going to be funny a few ways. Imagine these freakouts on the right, like Billy Swapped your children dead.

And it's going to be fun. There's going to be a million Charlie Kirk's in Arlington. Yeah, everybody in Roanoke is going to be gunned down. By the way, there was this funny, you know, Curtis Yorvin quit Twitter, but he had a review of The Spectator of One Battle After Another. Have you seen it? I haven't seen it yet.

He said, in the Revan's review, he's like, I estimate it will cause between one and ten deaths through violence, including maybe my own. Hey, did you guys vote today? No, but we are going. Who you voted for? When I'm going. Really? Yes. How come?

Two pieces everybody off. If you're not like him, that's what I'm going for. Hey, I'm from Jersey City, actually, so I voted in the governor's race there. What you want? I voted for Chittarelli. Oh, Chirrillo? Yeah. Why said he's going to raise the tax?

No, he's the Republican. I know. Why? I come in the Senate. They're going to raise the 10% tax. In New York or New Jersey? No. Because, I guess that's what they say the Democrats are going to do because the taxes.

Are you voting for Moundani, too? I don't want to know. Nobody. You're for yourself. Okay. Okay, more voter interviews. That one guy is. These guys, are these all Jewish?

I don't know what, I think those guys, I think one of, I don't know what those guys were. So these Orthodox Jews, do they have thick accents? So the first guy you talked about an accent, like what is that accent? Do they grow up like not speaking English? I'm not sure, actually. No, one guy was definitely just regular English accent, Queens accent, New York accent. I'm not sure. The other guy might have been Middle Eastern, actually.

I'm not sure. The guy with the beat. Orthodox Jews who grew up in New York City. Do they speak with an accent? Yeah, yeah. When you heard the guy's accent here, the guy in the garb. Yeah, they have like a distinctive,

it's like a Jewish, distinctively New York accent. Yeah, because they speak Jewish. So that's, yeah, so that's that. That was that, he might have been Middle Eastern, you're saying. No, those guys weren't Haseed. Those guys were not Haseed.

That I just talked to now. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Jewish, frankly. That's the thing. That's the thing. Sometimes an Italian guy

can seem like a Jewish guy and vice versa. Yep. It's all about the thing. Did you say I'm voting from Mdani? I'm voting. Did you hear the guy said I'm voting for Moundani? Because everybody hates him and I want to piss him off. Yeah, yeah.

I heard that. That was good. And the other guy said, obviously not because, like, he's leading by like 20 points. So who's he, who's he want to piss off? Magdus. The Jews.

He wants to piss off the Jews, basically. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Here, I want to, I want to switch the, there they go. I love this. Hey, you guys are you here today? Who'd you vote for? Zoran?

17. 17. All right, they wouldn't they wouldn't tell me. Why don't they say 17? When I said, did you vote today? She said, I'm 17, so I guess she can't, she's not a little bit of vote.

I thought you was called you a pedophile. I'm 17 out there you talked to. Of course, that, of course your mind is in the gutter. That's what I'm saying. I should have, I did not intentionally talk to a 17-year-old girl on the I thought they were above age. Oh, really?

I'm sucking too. Right. Yeah, exactly. I'm gonna go to interview her about Gilaine Maxwell. Yeah, you'll fight you do accuser. Okay, so another rant, I have to go on. The craziest, the thing that makes me most insane about this race is the Cuomo sexual harassment stuff. Yes, this is your beat now.

Yes. Well, it was, I was the one who created the beat in 2021, okay? because I have one who found out that the main accuser Excuse me, ma'am Did she vote today? Ask her if she voted. Ma'am, did you vote today? Oh, she did.

Who did she vote for? Zoran. Ask who she voted for. I don't know. Votar. She doesn't see. Mamdani. Mamdani Cuomo.

Mom Dany. Mom Dany? Cuomo? Cuomo. Oh, she voted for Cuomo, okay. Yes, that's a not English-speaking Hispanic, right? That's a demographic vote.

Okay, that lady voted for Cuomo. See, how good is this? This is fun. This is man on the street stuff. Yeah, so I created the Cuomo sexual harassment beat, okay? Because the entire New York City Press Corps were an uproar at me in 2021 because they accused me of taking leaks from the Cuomo operation. I really wasn't.

I found out that the main accuser, this woman, Charlotte Bennett, who's a, genuine sociopath. And the ringleader, the one who was working behind the scenes to coordinate accusations, right? So it gave the impression of a snowball effect. She, I found out, had coordinated a PR campaign while she was in college, a Hamilton College, the selected liberal arts college in upstate New York, to get a fellow student ousted by fabricating, she had to admit, essentially, that she fabricated sexual assault

claims against him and they coordinated with other girls to get him thrown off campus. and then she replicated virtually the same tactic against Cuomo. It was amazing. Wow. So there was this guy? Why did she want to be rid of him? Because she was a campus anti, she was a campus sexual assault activist. Uh-huh.

And so she fabricated, okay. And that, and that she's doing the same against Cuomo. She already did it. And then, and then Zoran, what drove me nuts is that at the final mayoral debate, like a week and a half ago, Zoran brought her along in his entourage, okay?

Remember how, like, Trump brought the Bill Clinton accusers in his entourage? Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. And Zoran brings her out and, like, makes it seem like, and he says that Cuomo's continuing to hound this poor woman who was his victim. Meanwhile, of course, the general public watching this debate has no idea that she's the one who brought litigation against Cuomo. Okay.

So she's the one who wanted to, quote, hound Cuomo in terms of legal process. And then she had to drop her own lawsuit. You know why? because it was the eve of her deposition finally after over two years exculpatory information had come out showing that she was this chronic fabricator and sociopath

and stuff that came out from her college years and rather than being confronted with all this exculpatory evidence she utilized and voluntarily with dropped her own lawsuit but then Zoron spins this as somehow her being

hounded by Cuomo so it's It's just insane. And actually had the unheard debate last week, another of the ringleaders who was also a charlatan, Lindsay Boyland, was there representing the Zoran campaign. Wow.

So I got in a big fight with her. I had to call her, I had to say she was a disgrace. Good for you. Good for you. Yeah, it's amazing. You were listening to, they go back and they say,

well, there's 11 or 12 or 13 women. And there's stuff like, he calls some of mingle, Mingle Mamas. Mingle Mamas. He said there was a woman who took a selfie with him. Yeah. She displayed on her desk. And then once Charlotte, the two sociopaths come out, Charlotte and Lindsay, she then has to do a reinterpretation of the meaning of the photo. And she considers it like sexually predatory. This is a photo she had displayed on her own desk for years because she was so proud of her proximity to Cuomo. Yeah. And one of them, like he kissed a woman on the cheek. In public, a restaurant. Excuse me, did you guys vote today by a chance?

Yes. Who do you vote for? You mind if I asked? Not for five minutes. That's your damn short. Is that, so you must have voted for Cuomo. Is that right? Slewa.

Slewa. Okay. Why Slewa versus Cuomo? Because Cuomo is an asshole. The only reason why he wants to be mayor is because New York City is a target-rich environment, and there's a lot of beautiful women that he's going to be. He's not wrong about that. You can't see, you're young.

You don't really. Back in the 70s or the 80s, the city was total shit, even worse than it is now. And Sleever made it safe to go on the subway. Yeah, you didn't go on a subway. You would feel safe. If you saw a guy with a red beret, you knew it was safe. Did you see that Trump endorsed Cuomo? He didn't really endorse.

Oh, he did? Well, he said, everybody must vote for Cuomo. He said, he said, it's better to have a bad Democrat. No, no, he made a new statement last night. He said, Cuomo's capable of doing a fantastic job. No, he's not. I'm just telling you what Trump said. Don't blame it on me.

No, when during COVID, Cuomo and him had a pissing match. He sent the fucking hospital ship to New York City. And Cuomo let us sit there and didn't use it. How many thousands of lives died because Cuomo was a dead. He kicked up with Trump. I didn't endorse him. I'm just saying because Cuomo's an asshole. He's a miserable rap acid.

Burning hell. Who do you think is going to win? Do you think Cuomo's going to win? Hope that. We're hoping that enough people turn out for slaves. I just saw Curtis actually across the street a few hours ago. Yeah, his kid used to, when he was married to Paul into Cats. Yeah.

He used to go over here to Tiger Shulman. Oh, really? Yeah. All right. He's a neighborhood person. Yeah. All right. Have a nice day.

legit. Yeah. I was a fucking upstate new. That's great. you should do this all day how good is that you should do this all day I do uh

I do do it all day Is there like a voting booth or something close to you Like is it just a random place Where are you? No I'm just I'm just trying to do a big place No there's not I mean there might be a voting Find a beautiful woman

And see how she voted Find an attractive young professional looking woman Oh there's not a school, this guy says, there's a school two blocks this way. Hey, did you want you? You're what? You're a predator. You're not a lot to be. What do you vote for?

What's who? Who? Oh, Zerun? How come? Come explain. I've been born and raised, queen, came back. Yeah. Living on my own, rents to peace.

Can I ask you're reporting? I am. I'm on a live stream now. Do you mind? Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry. You just aim the camera out. Oh, yeah.

Sorry, sorry. I should have told you. No problem. Yeah, yeah. Oh. We're just asking people who they voted for. Yeah. No, I saw you chat before.

Do you get a pizza to celebrate the vote? Can I have a slice? No. Go to eat for Zoran. Why is Zoran versus Slewa or Cuomo? Yeah, I mean, Cuomo's out of the question. Guys, it's come back. I like Curtis, don't agree with all of his policies.

I think he would stand up to some of the stuff that's coming towards New York City. Even from Trump? Yeah, in terms of... Did she Trump endorse Cuomo? Yeah, I think that's a nail in the coffin. Like, I think there's a lot of people who are on the fence for Cuomo. And then, like, all right, like, yeah, he's got the allegations on him. Most people know.

Yeah, chances are they real. And then... What even chances are they real? Most of them are bullshit. I don't even like Cuomo. I... The woman who's the ringleader in all this, you know, that she tried to accuse... somebody she went to

college with and then she had to admit that the accusations were fabricated. That's great. And then she tried to keep that covered up because she sued Cuomo,

right? She sued Cuomo. He didn't sue her. We get a ring at 12 other people to agree. Yeah, but that doesn't come out of them.

Not agree with her. The cop was saying, oh, we took a selfie with them and he touched our waist. Give me a break. Yeah. People are too, people are way too credulous

about those accusations. You don't have to like Cuomo. Yeah, I mean, yeah. So. Even if we want to go aside that, yeah, I don't. But you can have plenty of other critiques beyond that.

That's fine. Yeah. But I'm saying you got to look a little bit more rationally at those particular allegations because they were all very opportunistic. The one of the woman who started, she was a politician herself. I don't think there's an opportunity. I, when it, when it comes to coming forth with an accusation on someone. What do you mean?

This woman was running for elected office. Lindsay Boylan, look her up. She was trying to become Manhattan Borough president. She thought she was going to get a PR boost by accusing Cuomo. Your entire. regard on the internet is like, oh, no, that's the person who Fomo was failing out.

At the end of the... Charlotte Bennett, she's now, everybody taught to her as a hero. Zoran trotted her out at the last debate, and he totally misrepresented the circumstances of the accusations. Again, I'm in favor. If you want to critique Cuomo, not vote for him, it's fine. But I just don't like the misrepresentation

and the distortions because people get the wrong idea. I think, well, at the end of the day, what we're both saying is that we see distortions from each other's perspective. I'm not gonna like go back and forth.

Oh, yeah. How old are you? Yes, it is an allegation. I'm 26 years old. Okay. You think most people, most of your friends or people you know

of also voting Zoron probably? That I grew up with in this neighborhood, not a change. Oh, really? Oh, because this is more Republican area, right? It's a very conservative neighborhood. I know, like, my family's very majority,

uh, very strongly opposed to Pomo. So now they're... Post to Mamdani or opposed to Palo? Both. So they're very pro-sue. Are they mad at you that you voted for Zoran? They don't care.

At the end of the day, we each have one vote. I'd rather they express blame a system for not giving them the voice. Yeah, yeah. I let them vote as they... I'm not going to try and argue with. No, no. I'm not saying they're going to pride.

to prevent you from voting. I'm just curious if they're annoyed by you voting for Zoroan. They probably think he's a communist or whatever, right? Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, like you were saying, there's a lot of distortion and how we want to paint perspectives on candidates. It's impossible to okay, this candidate

is a communist, but they're also a socialist, but they're also a rich capitalist who is bankrolling from mom and dad. He wants to destroy his. Israel. Yeah, like why, and getting into the foreign policy of it all doesn't really. First of all, when did New York City have a foreign policy? Since when does New York City have a foreign policy?

Seems to me. That's with the big issue of this whole campaign. You think he would have like the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military or something? I understand it with the United Nations building. Yeah, there is a level of foreign presence. Excuse me, did you guys vote for a vote today by any chance? Oh, you did? Yeah.

Do you mind if I ask who you voted for? Montgomery. Oh, really? Yeah. There you go. Okay. Great day, Mas. That's two mom d'anis.

Who do you think is going to win? Do you think he's going to win? Um, I mean, it would be very difficult to picture Cuomo coming out of this with the He got the Trump, the last minute Trump boost. I don't see the Trump boost. I might as touch. Things can look like they're turning to gold, but they're also a lot heavier to carry. I don't know.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't think that's going to provide any momentum. All right. Do you want to give a shout out to your social media or anything while you're on here? I don't need a personal shout out. What I will say is my friends, if you're here in New York City, especially if you moved here, born and raised here, make sure you are partaking in your community. Make sure you're supporting your local community. However you can. Very wholesome message. There's a community garden about three blocks this way. Compost Collective. All right. Stone Boulevard. We got chickens there. Oh, really? Maybe I'll go, maybe I'll visit.

A lot of Zoron voters in the compost chicken coop, bro, I know, a lot of... Ask him about his pizza. Especially at the garden over here. Do you get toppings on your pizza? I got a sphinjone slice. What is this shingone slice? It's like sardines, onions.

Oh, wow. Mmm. So... My kind of guy. I grew up coming at this place all the time. Yeah. I just got a bagel from this place. It was pretty good.

Yeah. No, their bagels are good. Not that I should be having so many bagels, but... Hey, we live on life. Yeah, no, and I just got an eggplant roll. Egglin out. All right, well, good chatting with you. What's your name?

Pleasured. Chris. All right. I'm Mike. Mike, pleasure of nature. All right, take care. Take care. I can't believe you let us pizza is calzone or whatever it is.

Get cold. See, that's what I'm saying. If people are always intimidated, oh, if I can't talk to people, I can't ask them who they voted for, they're going to get mad. I mean, some people don't want to talk for most of the time, and they're pretty amiable. Yeah, maybe New Yorkers are more outgoing than a lot of other people. Seems like it draws the city of extroverts. I mean, how many characters have we seen already?

Yeah. I'm just sitting in the outdoor, like, sitting area of this one bagel fence. Yeah, they see that woman, she didn't want to believe it about Trump. They couldn't, they couldn't believe it. I know, they thought they didn't, they're trying to blame me. Find a good-looking woman. You haven't found a good-looking woman. Usually you're on the lookout for those.

What are you trying to say? Will you shut up? Here comes one. Excuse me, ma'am. Did you vote today by a chance? Who are you voting for? Can I ask? So you either got Cuomo or Slewa.

You're going to go for Slewa? I'm a Republican. Right. I'm afraid that my vote of Slewa counts towards my dog. Did she Trump endorse Cuomo last night? She thinks the election of Stalin. Does Trump endorse, since you're a Republican? Since you're a Republican, right, does Trump endorsing Sliwa, do you take that seriously?

Do you take it into account at all? I'm sorry, that Trump endorsed Cuomo, my mistake. I mean, do you, do you, do that affect you? Does it influence you at all? Okay. Thank you. Right. Since the idea is that Cuomo is the only one who's viable to beat Mom Dani, so therefore

you've got to hold your nose and vote for him. I'm definitely not going to my dog. No, I'm saying, Cuomo is the only option to beat Mom Dani. So even if you don't like Cuomo, you got to hold your nose and vote for Cuomo. So that's your... I'm from Jersey City, actually. I voted by I voted a Republican in the gubernatorial race. Generally, yeah.

I don't like this. I don't like that Mikey woman. But New York is a Democratic state no matter of what. Well, Pataki won not that long ago. Didn't he? He was a rule. That's 2002 as the last time. Yeah. Well, you have Mike, Bloomberg was a Republican. I never liked them either.

Okay. Did you ever think you would be in a position where you had to vote for Cuomo? It's weird, right? Right. Right. I've talked to a million people like you. I've talked to a million people like you, like Staten Island here, other places where they're like, oh my God, I can't believe I have to vote for Cuomo. Yeah. Right. There you go. why do you have a domestic violence to just be going to call a social one right yeah right tell me that that makes sense of the least

yeah and Cuomo says you know he wants to hire more cops who knows if we'll do it but he's going to say whatever the opposite as of the other one that goes right we're scorned him out of once all right godspeed when you go into the booth later

okay. What is she coming out of like a store or something? What's in the bag? Yeah. I just told you. I was at this bagel store. She was like a cafe.

So she was just in the bagel store. Yeah. Okay. Anyways, Michael, I'm gonna, you want to keep doing this you can. I think I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna go and do some work.

This is work. I'm doing the work. No, you can do work. You have a job. I have my own job. So we can, we can part ways here.

Okay. Well, I hope you did. Can the, can the commenters say if they enjoyed that, do they enjoy the man on the street interviews? I'm sure they, I'm sure they did. Anyways, I'll post it. I'll post this later. Okay. What are you going to do with this video?

Let's say, post it now. Post it now. Yeah, I'm going to post it as soon as I can. But I want to make it paid. Do you have any, you care? Um, I don't want the, I don't want the man on the street videos paid. You want this, you want me to just post it on Twitter? Just make this one, just make this one free. Does it mind? I'll put it on Twitter. Everything's free on Twitter. If it's going to be free, I don't got it to clog by substack.

I'll do it on Twitter then. Okay. Okay. Okay. Whatever you want to do? All right. I don't care. Later.

All right. Talk to you later.
