00:00
On New York, you're the most prominent Republican in the country from the city, what do you want?
00:10
Anywhere else, too.
00:12
I don't want to be a wise guy, perhaps.
00:18
Maybe Marco.
00:20
But how do you want Republican voters in the city to vote in the upcoming mayoral election?
00:25
Should they vote for Eric Adams?
00:27
Should they vote for Sliwa?
00:29
Should he pick someone else?
00:30
Well, look.
00:31
Number one, you have a communist running, and you shouldn't vote for him.
00:35
He's a disaster.
00:36
He's leading.
00:37
He's got the Democrat nomination, because that shows you where the Democrats have gone.
00:42
He actually wants to take over the grocery stores of John Casamitidis, who's a great guy,
00:47
a rich guy, grocer, does a good job, wants to take over.
00:52
He actually called me the other day.
00:53
He's concerned his stores are going to be taken from him, and they won't be run like John
00:58
runs him, believe me.
00:59
He runs a good operation.
01:00
But he actually said he wants to run his own grocery stores.
01:04
Now, this is a man who's not very capable, in my opinion, other than he's got a good line
01:10
of bullshit.
01:11
And he's convinced them to go with him.
01:14
Now, as you know, Cuomo, who does have capability, is running, but he got knocked out.
01:21
And now they're running as a ... You have Eric Adams, the current mayor.
01:26
You have Cuomo.
01:28
And you have Curtis Lewa, and Curtis runs every four years.
01:34
He seems to be a fixture on the running scale.
01:37
But, you know, it's ... I'm not getting involved.
01:43
But I can tell you this ... I used to say, we will not ever be a socialist country, right?
01:53
Well, I'll say it again.
01:55
We're not going to have ... If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be
02:02
the same.
02:03
But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to ... We could
02:08
run D.C.
02:09
I mean, we're looking at D.C.
02:11
We don't want crime in D.C.
02:12
We want the city to run well.
02:14
Susie Wiles is working very closely with the mayor, and they're doing all right.
02:18
I mean, in the sense that we would ... We would run it so good.
02:22
It would be run so properly.
02:23
We'd get the best person to run it.
02:26
The crime would be down to a minimal.
02:29
It would be much less.
02:30
And, you know, we're thinking about doing it, to be honest with you.
02:33
We want to ... We want a capital that's run flawlessly.
02:36
And it wouldn't be hard for us to do it.
02:39
And we've had a good relationship with the mayor, and we're testing it to see if it works.
02:44
But New York City will run properly.
02:47
We're going to bring New York back.
02:49
I love New York.
02:50
You know, I loved New York for a long time.
02:51
Then we had a bunch of crooked people in there.
02:53
You have an attorney general who's a total stone-cold crook, New York State.
02:58
Letitia James, a total crook.
03:00
All they do is want to go after political opponents.
03:03
They do what's ever expeditious for them.
03:06
And she's the one that took out Cuomo because she wanted to run for governor.
03:10
And then she ended up getting 1 percent of the vote.
03:13
She polled at 1 percent.
03:15
She dropped out, went back to attorney general.
03:17
You have a lot of crooked things going on in New York.
03:19
We're going to straighten out New York.
03:21
It's going to ... Maybe we're going to have to straighten it out from Washington.
03:24
But when I see a communist who has actually gotten a Democrat, pretty much gotten a Democrat
03:30
nomination, they also went to that new form of voting, which is a beauty.
03:34
You go in there in third place, you come out in first.
03:37
That's that form of voting that they have gone to.
03:40
You know what I'm talking about.
03:42
It's not too good.
03:44
We're going to do something for New York.
03:46
I can't tell you what yet.
03:47
But we're going to make New York great again also.
03:49
We're going to make it great again with the country.
03:51
We're going to make New York свобод
03:56
at this scene.
03:57
We don't have anyone that everんで.
03:59
We're going to move to a Force in terms of voting.
04:03
I'm going to kind of grow up.
04:07
We jougangs the next.
04:08
It's kind of a B min вес.
