June 24, the Democratic mayoral primary in NYC, and there's a new poll out. I have it. Emerson College, the Hill, and here are the stats. Democrats only. Eric Adams is running as an independent. Andrew Cuomo, 35%. Zoran Mamdani, the socialist from Queens, 23%. Brad Lander, 11%. Scott Stringer, 9. They have no chance. So Cuomo will win this. Mamdani is putting up a pretty good fight. A lot of socialists in New York, you know, a lot of people that don't want to compete in a capitalistic marketplace. They want stuff given to them. And Zoran certainly would do that, and he'd destroy the city probably in less than a year. Everybody move out. As far as people working for a living and corporations and all that, I mean, I'm going to put up with socialism anyway. I feel kind of bad for Eric Adams. He's done, did not lead Crime stats are, you know, down. And that's good to his credit. Let's be fair. On the other side, Curtis Sleevel looks like he's going to lock up the Republican nomination, but very hard for a Republican to win in New York City now. Cuomo support. I found this very interesting on the Hill poll. Black voters, 74%. That's Cuomo's constituency. African Americans, elderly voters, over 50, 66%. Women, 58%. Even though Cuomo has been battered by the accusations that he didn't treat women very well. Women, by the way, are becoming more liberal than men in America overall. There are some in surveys recently that the most progressive people are women. I'm going to try to get a progressive woman on and figure this out, because that's fairly new. So anyway, the next mayor of New York City is likely to be Andrew Cuomo. Justice departments after him could get indicted over the nursing home thing and lying to Congress or whatever the Justice Department comes up with. They're zeroing in on him. Adams escaped. Not sure why. I guess Trump likes him, but I don't really know why. They could have brought Adams in for felony bribery charges with the whole turkey thing, but that's not happening. However, Andrew Cuomo, don't be surprised if federal indictment comes down on him because Trump does not like him and vice versa. A lot of politics involved in the justice game these days, and I don't like it there. Should be apolitical. But when you're Donald Trump and you get hammered by New York City and State the way he did with all these bogus charges and all of that, I mean, you know, there's going to be retribution on the Cuomo front. You know, there was some detente during COVID between Trump and Cuomo, but now they're back to hating each other. So that's where we are. Cuomo can govern New York City, but he's not a reliable agent. He messed up the state big time. No doubt. No doubt. Governor Cuomo messed up New York State by signing the no bail law. By the COVID craziness, he messed it up and he could absolutely mess up New York City. But I don't think he's going to be worse than de Blasio and Adams. De Blasio, the worst of all time. Adams just simply couldn't improve anything. Cuomo is knowledgeable, knows how everything works because of his dad. But whether or not he'd apply himself to fairness and problem solving, I have no idea. None. But he is most likely the next mayor of New York City, and I don't believe that Andrew Cuomo is going to be happy with that. So he got his eye on some other prize somewhere, probably president, but I'm just guessing in that area.

Bill O’Reilly begins by presenting the most recent poll results exclusively among Democratic voters:
Additionally, Eric Adams is noted as running an independent campaign. O’Reilly interprets these numbers as a clear indication that Andrew Cuomo is the frontrunner poised to secure the Democratic nomination.

"Governor Cuomo messed up New York State by signing the no bail law. By the COVID craziness, he messed it up and he could absolutely mess up New York City." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
Despite these criticisms, O’Reilly predicts that Cuomo's experience and current lead will likely make him the next mayor.
Securing 23% support, Mamdani represents the socialist faction from Queens. O’Reilly is skeptical of Mamdani's viability, expressing concern over socialist policies undermining capitalist structures.
"A lot of socialists in New York... They want stuff given to them. And Zoran certainly would do that, and he'd destroy the city probably in less than a year." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
With 11% and 9% support respectively, both Lander and Stringer are deemed by O’Reilly as having negligible chances of winning the primary.
"They have no chance. So Cuomo will win this." [00:01]
Running as an independent, Adams is portrayed as a less impactful candidate in this primary. O’Reilly acknowledges Adams's efforts in reducing crime rates, which is a positive mark on his record.
"He’s done, did not lead Crime stats are, you know, down. And that's good to his credit." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
Nonetheless, Adams is viewed as unable to significantly alter the political landscape compared to the frontrunners.

Moreover, O’Reilly observes a trend where women are increasingly aligning with progressive candidates:
"Women, by the way, are becoming more liberal than men in America overall. There are some in surveys recently that the most progressive people are women." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
The episode explores the intricate political relationships influencing the primary. O’Reilly speculates on potential federal indictments against Cuomo, citing ongoing investigations related to nursing home policies and alleged misinformation to Congress.
"Justice departments after him could get indicted over the nursing home thing and lying to Congress or whatever the Justice Department comes up with." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
He contrasts this with Eric Adams's apparent immunity from similar legal challenges, pondering the political motivations behind selective prosecutions.
"Andrew Cuomo, don't be surprised if federal indictment comes down on him because Trump does not like him and vice versa." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
O’Reilly expresses frustration with the politicization of justice, underscoring how personal vendettas between figures like Trump and Cuomo complicate the legal landscape.
"A lot of politics involved in the justice game these days, and I don't like it there." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
While acknowledging Cuomo's capability to govern, O’Reilly remains apprehensive about Cuomo's decision-making and reliability. He concedes that Cuomo might prove less detrimental compared to previous mayors like de Blasio but remains doubtful about Cuomo's commitment to fairness and effective problem-solving.
"He is most likely the next mayor of New York City, and I don't believe that Andrew Cuomo is going to be happy with that." [Transcript Time Unspecified]
