The elite, you see, they're trying to push me out and they're trying to silence you.

你看，這些精英們，他們想把我趕出去，也想讓你們閉嘴。

You, the hard working people that make this city work.

你們這些辛勤工作、讓這座城市運轉的人。

The billionaires are not going to determine who the next mayor is.

億萬富翁們決定不了下一任市長是誰。

You, the people will, in our politics, lead.

你們，人民，將在我們的政治中引領。

That is Republican nominee, New York personality, founder of the crime prevention group the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa, who remains characteristically defiant as pressure for him to drop out of the New York mayor's race ramps up.

這就是共和黨提名人、紐約名人、犯罪預防組織「天使守望者」的創始人柯提斯·史裡瓦，隨著他退出紐約市長競選的壓力越來越大，他依然一如既往地充滿挑戰精神。

The COVID of the New York Post says, quote, just walk away.

《紐約郵報》的 COVID 說，引述，就這樣走開吧。

Even allies tell Sliwa to drop mayor bid.

就連盟友也告訴史裡瓦放棄市長競選。

This is all as the subhead would suggest, a last minute effort to boost the chances of disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in terms of his ability to beat the Democratic nominee, Zoran Mamdani.

這一切正如副標題所暗示的，是為了在擊敗民主黨提名人佐蘭·馬姆達尼方面，提升被撤職的前州長安德魯·柯謨的機會而做的最後一搏。

A recent Fox News poll finds registered voters backing Mamdani 49%.

《霍士新聞》的最新民調顯示，登記選民有 49% 支持馬姆達尼。

Current Mayor Adams, who dropped out of the race, is pulling up the rear there with 3%.

目前已經退選的亞當斯市長以 3% 墊底。

New Yorkers can cast early ballots starting this Saturday.

紐約市民從這個星期六開始就可以提前投票。

And here now is Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for New York City mayor.

現在為大家介紹的是紐約市長共和黨提名人柯提斯·史裡瓦。

Let me also note that we have been asking for an interview with Zoran Mamdani for months and with Governor Cuomo for years.

我也要順帶一提，我們已經好幾個月來都在邀請佐蘭·馬姆達尼接受訪問，而柯謨州長更是多年來我們一直想採訪的對象。

And we'd like to remind them they have a warm, open seat to come answer questions about public policy.

我們想提醒他們，這裡有一個溫暖、開放的座位，歡迎他們來回答有關公共政策的問題。

So just moments ago, President Trump was asked if he thinks you should drop out.

就在幾分鐘前，川普總統被問到是否認為您應該退選。

I looked at the polls and looks like we're going to have a communist as the mayor of New York.

我看了民調，看起來紐約市長將會是一位共產黨員。

It'll be very interesting if he dropped out.

如果他退選，那將會非常有趣。

He's not going to win and not looking too good for Cuomo either.

他不會贏，對柯謨州長來說也不是個好消息。

But maybe, I don't know, if he dropped out, maybe Cuomo would have a little bit of a chance, but

但或許，我不知道，如果他退選，柯謨州長也許還有點機會，但

I remember when many of the same powers to be were asking Donald Trump to drop out in his reelection bid and they wanted him to move aside for Ron DeSantis.

我記得當時許多權貴也要求川普總統退出連任競選，希望他為羅恩·德桑蒂斯讓路。

Look, people have a right, but I was taught in elementary school, one person, one vote.

看，人民有權利，但我在小學時學到的是一人一票。

But let the, let the billionaires decide or the political elite.

但就讓那些億萬富翁或政治精英來決定吧。

I trust the people to make the right decision.

我相信人民會做出正確的決定。

I have the law and order values I believe that Andrew Cuomo was the architect of no cash bail.

我擁有治安價值觀，我相信安德魯·柯謨是取消現金保釋的始作俑者。

And finally, the architect of closing our prison, Rikers island, was then Governor Cuomo.

最後，關閉我們監獄 Rikers island 的建築師，當時是州長 Cuomo。

They agree on all these issues that are pro criminal, and

他們在所有這些親犯罪的議題上都達成共識，而且

I'm the only one saying law and order, pro victim.

我是唯一說要法治、親受害者的人。

We're in a city, Jake, where we're best known for locking up toothpaste and not criminals.

我們所在的城市，Jake，最出名的是鎖定牙膏而不是罪犯。

By November 4th, we'll have a new mayor, and there are three candidates in it.

到 11 月 4 日，我們就會有一位新市長，而且有三位候選人參選。

I would hope that Andrew Cuomo, instead of moaning and groaning, that I should drop out.

我希望 Andrew Cuomo 不要抱怨連連，而是自己退選。

Cuomo needs to get out on the campaign trail.

As you see, the New York Post reported he's been missing in action on the campaign trail for 10 days.

如你所見，《紐約郵報》報導他已經在競選行程中消失了 10 天。

You got to campaign at least 20 hours of a 24 hour day if you hope to become the next mayor of New York City.

如果你希望成為下一任紐約市長，你一天 24 小時裡至少要跑 20 個小時的競選行程。

So the owner of WABC Radio, where you famously hosted a program before you became a candidate, said yesterday that if you love New York, you would get out of the race.

所以 WABC Radio 的老闆，在你成為候選人之前，你曾在那裡主持節目，昨天說如果你愛紐約，就應該退選。

President is the head of the Republican Party.

And the President is telling you, go for.

所以你投給柯謨，然後一對一。

And if he doesn't, if Curtis stays in, let him stay in.

如果他不行，如果寇帝斯留下來，就讓他留下來。

We just heard the President not endorse Cuomo, not endorse me, and

我們剛聽到總統沒有支持柯謨，也沒有支持我，而且

pretty much think it's a fait accompli that Zohan Mandami is the next mayor, which is not true.

我認為佐漢·馬丹米（Zohan Mandami）將成為下一任市長，這幾乎是板上釘釘的事，但事實並非如此。

Look, John Katsimatidis is part of that billionaire class.

看，約翰·卡西馬提迪斯（John Katsimatidis）就是那些億萬富翁中的一員。

They think that they can pick the next mayor.

他們認為他們可以挑選下一任市長。

他們在初選時支持了柯謨（Cuomo）。

柯謨（Cuomo）曾領先 40 個百分點。

佐蘭·馬丹米（Zoran Mandami）只有 1% 的支持率。

Zoran Mandami won the primary convincingly at 13%.

佐蘭·馬丹米（Zoran Mandami）以 13% 的得票率令人信服地贏得了初選。

所以把那些民調直接丟到一邊去吧。

And secondarily, whatever happened with the people deciding who the mayor should be?

還有，關於由誰來決定誰應該當市長這件事，後來怎麼樣了？

The only independent candidate is Andrew Cuomo.

唯一的獨立候選人是安德魯·柯謨。

You have to go through a maze to find him on the ballot.

你得像闖迷宮一樣才能在選票上找到他。

I get my people to vote for me because I have a get out to vote effort.

我讓自己的人去投票，因為我有動員投票的努力。

We know Zoran Mandami did a great job in the primary getting his vote out.

我們知道佐蘭·馬丹米在初選中動員投票做得很好。

It's called democracy, the people's right to vote.

這就叫做民主，人民的投票權。

And the billionaires don't want the people to make this decision.

而那些億萬富翁不想讓人民做這個決定。

I trust the people, not the political elite and not the billionaires.

我信任人民，不信任政治精英，也不信任億萬富翁。

Let me ask you, sir, what can you point to from your background that would give voters the confidence that you have the experience needed to manage more than 350,000 New York City government employees?

讓我問您，先生，您的背景中有什麼能讓選民相信您有經驗管理超過 35 萬名紐約市政府員工？

Well, thank God I'm not a professional politician, Jake, because I got to tell you, de Blasio did a horrible job.

嗯，感謝上帝我不是個職業政客，傑克，因為我得告訴你，白思豪做得糟透了。

Cuomo fled Albany after 10 years of being in danger of being impeached by his own Democrats.

葛謨在被自己的民主黨人彈劾的危險中度過了十年後，逃離了奧爾巴尼。

And as you know, Eric Adams, who I ran against before, I warned them he would be corrupt and there'd be chaos.

而且你知道的，我之前競選過的對手艾瑞克·亞當斯，我警告過他們他會貪腐，而且會一片混亂。

Having been in the streets, in the subways, the only candidate to be in the subways each and every day.

我曾經在街頭、在捷運裡，是唯一一位每天都出現在捷運裡的候選人。
