Joining us now is Scott Levedo.
Scott welcome
a mayoral run.
New York City is in a lot of
trouble right now. In many many
respects.
What would be the first things
you would do as mayor if you
were elected
well first, you guys have had
me on for over a decade now,
not only with my patriotism, but
with my activism,
I used my artwork fighting for
people
im a voice for people that are
aggravated.
We are aggravated
this city is so aggravated and
disgusted
looked what happened to the
greatest city in the world.
Why cant I run
why cant I be a politician.
I can a little bit
im a new Yorker four
generations.
First line of business first
day in office, we refund the
police.
We give them whatever they need,
because they, a safe community,
is a prosperous community.
That is the number one thing to
be done.
I have liberal friends who hate
this man
who cant stand him
im so glad the liberals are
finally seeing look. What Jude
Yanni did to the city?
Yeah im a Republican im, a
conservative
im, a liberal conservative.
This is my city.
I understand how this city
operates.
These speed cameras. We know
about the speed cameras in my
hometown of Staten Island. There
are thousands of them.
They are money, sucking machines.
They are not doing the purpose.
They were meant to do be at
schools.
The cameras are running all the
time.
One more thing: a million
things
get the kids back to school. Do
what
teach them? What happened to wood
shop and Mick mechanics?
The kids are being taught
classes on the psychology of the
norwegian woodchuck.
What will that get them?
Work with your hands?
Have a backup job:
this is old school.
My fathers built this city.
My father picked up garbage for
the city.
It is unbelievable. What is
happening to the place
people are leaving in droves.
No reason why me, as a fourth
generation
im, a very creative new Yorker
can pull this city back together
with the right team
and im doing it.
Pete Scott, you think even
Democrats in the city say we
need a Giuliani type moment
exactly.
You know, people laughed,
they say: Scott youre, an
artist.
Look at my background
for twenty five years, ive been an
activist for the people of this
city for the people of this
country.
Why cant I put my hat in the
ring
Ronald Reagan, wasnt a
politician,
Donald Trump wasnt, a
politician.
Maybe this trend is working,
PETE right,
so im in
Will Scott leave you with
this
small point of debate.
You may say youre a little bit
after politician, but you dont
sound like one
PETE thats, a good thing.
