other state anywhere else in the country. and we have to turn this all around, and we have an opportunity just ten days away. this morning was the tart of in-person early voting. we re on staten island right now, rochester last night. we re working as hard as possible, and we re feeling great about the momentum, the energy. the issues are on our side, we re all in. and we re not going to [inaudible conversations] neil: congressman, you have made crime the central issue of your campaign. never theless, we learned that two years after endorsing donald trump the new york city police benevolent association has given $25,000 to your opponent, governor hochul. now, while they are taking no sides in this race, i don t believe and you can correct me if i m wrong, sir, they haven t given you any money how do you feel about that? we ve had over 50 law enforcement organizations throughout the state endorse us including the 50,000-member police conference of new york. if as far as the repo
we ve seen ohio slip further and further behind. just this morning ohio ross the most jobs of any state in the country under mike dewine s watch. we have put forward efforts on how we can help ohioans deal with inflation recognizing that it is an international or national issue, there are still things the governor can do to help working families, and mike dewine has done none of them. we also live what what the fdi fbi calls the most corrupt statehouse in the country. so you put together the fact that we have the most corrupt government in the country which takes some work and add to the fact that he is taking away women s freedoms every day, ohio deserves better, and i think they re going to call for better. the second thing i ll point out when we talk about polls is polls have underestimated over and over again this year how upset women and the men who support women are on these
politicians, whatever. i mean, this kind of discourse is uncalled for. it may polarize some democratic voters, but it also, you know, to your point about crime, you know, it may point to the a republican polarization as well in places like new york. neil: all right. guys, i want to thank you both very much. in the meantiming we ve got lee zeldin here, this has been the signature issue for him. of course, he s been pounding the economy as well, runaway prices, the adverse or business environment as he s described it throughout the state. governor hochul has spoken on that. hay had ap e they had a debate last week. he s kind enough to join us now. congressman lee zeldin, thank you for taking the time. thank you, neil. neil: let s talk about this attack on paul pelosi. he s expected to recover but, of course, you re no stranger to violence and attempted violence. the fellow that tried to get you
extreme, out of step actions. and we see that underreporting both in the kansas race and also in the new york special in august neil: but don t you see women or men, of course, who are angry about some of these extreme issues being more ang i when they go to the grocery store, when they fill up their car, when they try to fly out and are seeing sky-high prices for tickets? do you think you re campaigning on the wrong issue? no, i don t. and, i mean, we re not not talking about the economy as well. i think those two together are key issues for our state because mike dewine hasn t done anything to help ohioans out. i ve called on the governor to do a gas tax suspension so we can give people, you know, some relief at the pump. he s not done it. i ve called on him to give an inflation rebate so folks can deal with gas and grocery costs, nothing. i ve called on him to stop price gouging neil: got it, got it. we re coming to a hard break, nan whaley, i apologize.
that s a really good thing to have in your back pocket. you ve got democrat john fetterman, republican mehmet oz. this is a national race, it has national attention, it is extremely close. 9 you put on top of all of that the fact that you ve got john fetterman having a stroke in may, debating just a few days ago and a number of democrats quietly saying maybe you shouldn t have done that, either way, philadelphia s the spot for the fetterman campaign today, the student center here, he s going to be appearing with state representative malcolm kin yacht that kin yacht that, one of the democrats who fetterman beat back in may, one of the several democrats who ran in the primary race. last night pennsylvania democrats brought out the heavyweights here. president biden was in the area, vice president kamala harris also at this event with fetterman in which there was a fundraiser trying to boost the candidates here. you ve also got a governor s race in this state, joshua
