00:03:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, she literally lost her husband. She saw him shot down, as we all did. They have children who don't have a dad. She will be raising them without him, the love of her life. And you use the word meme, it is it's it's all a joke that then there are people who who have no compassion in that regard. They they think he had it coming. 00:03:45 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's horrible and at the end of the day, like it's a spiritual battle. Sorry, it's very demonic. I just don't understand how people have to be so cruel. 00:03:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, spiritual battle, what do you mean? Please? 00:03:59 Speaker 2: You know it's obviously Jesus versus Satan. And I think that there's good people and there's evil people out there that are in this world. 00:04:08 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes I agree with that. Sometimes I get a little soft and I don't want to think of them as evil people per se. But there are certainly people who, either willingly or because they've been duped or whatever, there are people who advanced, advance evil ideas and engage in evil acts. There's no doubt about it. And by evil I mean, as you would say, inspired by Satan. 00:04:34 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:04:36 Speaker 1: Yeah, the earlier you mentioned prayer, you know, it's just love your enemies, pray for them that despitefully use you and all this other stuff. You as a person looking at again these mockeries of missus Kirk and the murder of her husband, and as you look and you see no doubt they're in social media and in the world the popular culture, people like you, with your values are mocked. How do you in your heart and your spirit, how do you relate to what do you think about those people who do that? Please? 00:05:06 Speaker 3: Yeah? 00:05:06 Speaker 2: I mean in the past year, I definitely have been through a lot with that. You know, every interaction and every encounter that I've had with somebody who's been disrespectful towards me. I've shown kindness back and I have prayed for them, And I think that showing kindness towards people who aren't showing kindness towards you is the best way to you know, kind of counter that. 00:05:32 Speaker 1: And what's that line? Forgive them for they know not what they do. Yeah, you know there may be some truth in that as well. But the calling is not just to endure what evil throws at you. The calling is to be the light of the world. How do you How do you do that? Please, ma'am? 00:05:50 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely just continue to move forward, no matter what people say online, no matter what text message you open up. I know a lot of you know, people on social media are gonna say what they're gonna say to you. And at the end of the day, it's sad because I'm not out there commenting on other people's stuff. But I think just showing kindness, compassion and still working hard is the best way to go. And opening your Bible and praying. 00:06:23 Speaker 1: Yeah about that. If it's not too private or whatever. What do you do personally to foster your spiritual health to stay connected with the Lord? What is your path of discipleship? 00:06:36 Speaker 3: Like? 00:06:36 Speaker 1: Please? 00:06:37 Speaker 2: Yeah? I definitely like try and read my Bible every night before I go to bed. I think having like your own time, even if it's for like fifteen twenty minutes, just reading the Word it helps you become more connected. And along with that, I think just surrounding yourself in a Christian environment is super crucial. I try and attend and like young adult Bible studies. I try and you know, do multiple Bible studies so I can get, you know, different perspectives on the Word. And I think it's just so great and engaging to be able to, you know, hear different people's perspectives on different books of the Bible. 00:07:17 Speaker 1: Speaking to Mara Burke, who's producing the Big Show today, what is again, if these are personal questions, I apologize and you don't have to answer. What is your prayer life? Like? Please? 00:07:27 Speaker 2: Yeah? I definitely, you know, keep my prayer life a little bit private, but I think. 00:07:33 Speaker 1: That do you pray every day? Yes? 00:07:35 Speaker 2: Okay, yes, most definitely morning night. 00:07:39 Speaker 1: When when do you pray once continually all day every time a thought comes to your mind? Or how does that play out for you? 00:07:47 Speaker 2: I definitely, I think I pray continuously throughout the day. I mean especially in the mornings and at night. But I mean I'll see different things throughout my day and I'll send a prayer out for you know, this situation, uh, this person, And I feel like now in my life it's just become a habit to pray for anything negative that that comes in my way. Yeah, or for anybody else outstanding? 00:08:18 Speaker 1: What what? 00:08:18 Speaker 2: Uh? 00:08:18 Speaker 1: What else? Should people know? What? I forget to ask you what's on your mind? 00:08:23 Speaker 2: I would say definitely if you are thinking about, you know, going to church and trying to get closer to Jesus, I definitely recommend it'll change your life as it's changed my life. So if you're if you've been thinking about it, this is your sign to go to church. 00:08:45 Speaker 1: This is your sign to go to church. 00:08:47 Speaker 2: Uh. 00:08:47 Speaker 1: Maybe the spirit through you just tap somebody on the shoulder. Ye, I'll ask question. I'll let you go. If you were to take I don't know. There may not be an answer to this. I mean I have one myself. If you're to take one chapter or maybe one book out of the Bible and say to somebody, just read this it. Take take a day, take a month, take whatever. You have to do. Just read this. If they have not been a Bible reader, where would you send them please? 00:09:15 Speaker 2: I would definitely say Proverbs. It's my favorite book in the Bible. I think that Proverbs gives you a lot of wisdom and a lot of advice. I think the book is really just about wisdom from God. I think that

you know, following Proverbs will really, you know, help you make and necessary changes in your life to grow spiritually interesting. 00:09:35 Speaker 1: Proverbs is fascinating and there's much wisdom there. I would be a book of John God, and if you feel ambitious, just Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and then add acts at the end, and maybe Matthew skip the first chapter it'll bore you, but start a chapter two and continue through read about the life, read the teachings of Jesus would be my recommendation. 00:09:59 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. 00:10:00 Speaker 1: All right, mademoiselle, thank you so much. I appreciate you speaking with us today. That's more Burke, she's producing the show. Two two two eleven eighty is our number. Back with you in a moment, Well, what did you think about that? Some anonymous young lady on the radio just suggested that you should go to church is that water off a duck's back or is that something you might consider? This is news radio. Well I'm eleven eighty Hello, Hello, Hello. 00:10:24 Speaker 3: Thank you for putting out your show on iHeart radios. 00:10:27 Speaker 1: But without that I wouldn't be able to listen to you. I use Radio eleven eighty. Hey, friends, Lonsbury here talking with Jason, the general manager of Jamestown involved in it's in Assembly District one thirty. That's the district currently represented by Brian Magteloe, who's a great man. I enjoyed tremendously. He's leaving because he's a great man. Not to get into his business, but he has a loved one who is ill and needs caring and Brian Magtelow is going to provide that care. So he's leaving elective office. There's a three way primary it's going on right now. Summer Johnson from Marion, George Dobbins from lyons and Mark Johns from a Webster. Summer Johnson was the Maryontown supervisor, had a troubled run there, decided not to run for re election. Blame the system. George Dobbins, no doubt a talented young man with a bright future, but he's very young and with no disrespect, went to Georgetown Law School. But is you know, still getting his feet under him as you know, as a grown up. Mark Johns has been around a while. He's seventy three years old. But here's the thing, as I thought about it over the last little bit, Mark Johns is the right choice. Here's why Summer Johnson had real difficulty working with others. And you know, and listen, there are lots of reasons for that, and I'm not saying any of them are her fault, but you need to be able to work with others. George Dobbins, no doubt, is going to be a very talented man, very accomplished, but you know, a senior elected position like this, the surround his life is I don't know if that's justified yet by an accomplishment. Mark Johns has been in the Assembly before, he has been tested over time. He's always stood up for the Second Amendment. He's always stood up for conservative values. He also has been endorsed by the Wayne County Deputy Sheriffs Association, the union representing deputies in

Wayne County backs Mark Johns. That says a lot. Also, the Rochester Police Locusts Club here. Monroe County likewise endorsed Mark Johns. Mark Johns is seventy three. He's not going to be in for more than one or two terms, and then you can go back and look at these younger people. But right now, his experience and the fact that he is endors first by law enforcement in both counties, I think that's huge. It's time for news after that Democrat primary, voters, We've got one of your comptroller candidates coming up on news radio wham eleven eighty. It's really time for them to get the real This is a real play. There is a real passway for the real. 00:13:19 Speaker 3: Life issues that affect real life statefall. 00:13:22 Speaker 1: It's about real life use radio transmission guarantee. I didn't give somebody the wrong number trying to line up our our guest here, mar If you could watch the hotline, we may have somebody calling up there in a in a half a moment. The Democratic Party has a primary going for comptroller. It's a very interesting deal. You've had Tom DiNapoli, who has been comptroller for a long time, and he has been you know, pretty middle of the road, kind of a low key sort of guy. Uh not draw a out of attention to himself not controversial. Seems like I come across him every other year or so at the State Fair. He'll be walking around there shaking people's hands, and he's always struck me as a pretty nice guy. But you know, people stay in office a while and other people say, maybe it's a time for somebody else. And in the Democratic Party there are two gentlemen who are you know, offering themselves as alternatives. One of them is a fell named Drew Warshaw we spoke with last week. The other candidate is ROJ Goyle, who joins us now. Sir, Hello, welcome to the broadcast. Yeah, sir, I appreciate you calling up. Welcome to the broadcast. We're grateful for your time. Thank you. Thumbnail sketch. Who are you, please, sir? 00:14:56 Speaker 3: I'm Rod Goyle. I live in New York City. I'm a pta the two teenage daughters who are fourteen and sixteen, and my wife is originally from Orange County, a lifelong New Yorker. We also live with my mother and mother in law and on the block. Sadly lost to father, my father and father in lam last few years. And I'm running because we need in my view, better Democrats and the Democratic primary. And we need im running to be the affordability watchdog, which I know the State Compoller should be and can be when we win. 00:15:30 Speaker 1: Roger Goyle, I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and your father in law. Your mom and dad relocated to come be with you and your family. A rhetorical question, but why was that important? Why was that a blessing to you guys? 00:15:45 Speaker 3: A total blessing. And I burned with passion to win this race and to bring to make the lives of New Yorkers better and as Really, while I'm so excited about this race and this candidacy, on a personal level, I will say the most important thing I'll do in my life is that my two daughters, our two daughters were raised with all four grandparents because my parents were immigrants and came from nothing in India, and I actually originally settled in Rochester when I left India. I never knew my grandparents. Not enough money, distance, the logistics back in the seventies and eighties and the nineties, and so it's very important to me, and I'm very very happy and sad of the fact that my parents were able to my dad last eight years are probably the happiest here in New York. He worked for a union healthcare system. I was with my mom, and yeah, it was a great joy. And we missed we missed my father and my father in law tremendously. My father in law was a public school teacher for thirty years in Orange County, as was my as was my mother in law retired now of course, so. 00:16:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and not to believe with this pot we're speaking to Roger Goyle, who's a Democrat candidate for comptroller. The early voting has commenced now, I mean primary day is the twenty third. You need to cast your ballot before then, if you'd like, But just the last thing, your folks and you are our personifications of you know, that American dream, immigrant success story, folks who came and succeeded and contributed in a significant way. There's a positive message that message there as well, sir. 00:17:28 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Of course, that's a story of millions of Americans. And yeah, I am very very proud of my parents who did come from nothing and they came here and they struggled to earn their place in America. And you know, we encountered a lot. And when you're an immigrant and the son and the child of immigrants, I often say, Bob that it is the child of the immigrant who can actually most powerfully appreciate and admire the immigrant's journey, the immigrant who is just the kind of person that I respect so much for sacrificing from moving to a new place. It's really heroic in many ways, and they're too busy just working and struggling to make it. And it is a child of the immigrants who can understand the sacrifice, live a part of that, and by the next generation it's too distant, and so I appreciate your good words. And of course that's why I've been a fighter for immigrants my entire life. I worked at the ACOU after nine to eleven. Obviously, I've had members of my family who have been attempting to be deported, who have faced a lot of the challenges of the immigration system. And I really think it's a tragedy right now that are that there are people who are trying to turn immigrants into scapegoats and frankly tear immigrants lives apart when they're the fabric of America. 00:18:51 Speaker 1: Roger Goyle is a candidate the Democrat primary for comptroller. Folks will say, well, why not DiNapoli, Why is he no longer the right choice? 00:18:59 Speaker 3: Please there, Well, there's never been a choice, He's never had a face of primary before. And I would say, with respect to with

missus Napoli, it's because right now we have a five alarm fire that faces our democracy. We have an affordability crisis that's choking amount that's choking New Yorkers. And Tom has been in the political system for fifty three years. And so if you look at how did this system get to the place where there's skyrocketing costs and groceries of rent of utility bills, He's part of that system. He's a massively important part of that system. So if you want change, and you want your national grid bills to go down, and you want rent to be cheaper, and you want life to be more affordable, and you think, if you're a Democrat, that we should get out there and fite what Donald Trump is doing to New York, then we need a change. And I would respectfully say that I offer that change because I've got a very clear vision for how we can lower utility rates, can build affordable housing and how we can actually bring energy to this office, which right now is literally investing in ICE. You know, we talked about immigration and how immigrants contribute Bob. Right now Tom DiNapoli is investing not a million of our tax dollars into the company that is ICE's back mode technology partner. These aren't things we should be doing. And so I think as this office is coming out of the shadows and people are realizing its potential to help, they're realizing that we need change. 00:20:30 Speaker 1: A lot of folks and we're speaking to Roger Goyle, who's a candidate in the Democrat primary for comptroller. Early voting is underway now, no doubt he would appreciate your vote. A lot of folks have pension money in the state of New York that this office oversees. What are your thoughts and commitments in regard to that, please sir. 00:20:51 Speaker 2: Well. 00:20:51 Speaker 3: I think the safeguarding the pension and doing that is the north star of this office. I take that fiduciary duty very seriously. I started in New York based business from scratch and grew that successfully sold that company. From managing money and safeguarding the finances of industries and shareholders is part of who I am, and so right now I would respectfully say that the pension is smaller than it should be because Tom waste them billion dollars on the Wall Street fees. We're investing in companies that frankly aren't returning a great deal for pensioners. And frankly we've got you know, he invested in a software system that is, of course, millions of dollars over budget, years behind schedule. I've heard countless stories of people having difficulty getting in to actually finding out what's happening with their pension. So the pension system, I'm glad that it's you know, one of the reasons that's fully funded is because the state legislature so mandates, you know, it's constitutional responsibility that people get their pension money. And what happened if the pension fund isn't doing well, we increase local property taxes because the employers have to contribute for the employee pensions. And so what I

would suggest is that we should safeguard that pension. We can grow it. Your pension would be stronger and bigger with Rod Goyle as comptroller, because if we grew the pension fund faster and bigger. We could potentially even pay out more benefits and lower the property taxes that the employers contribute to because of their government employees or in the pension plan. 00:22:30 Speaker 1: Roger Goyle is the generalis who we're speaking R A G G O y l E dot com website at RJ Well, so sorry, I apologize, Yes, sir, I know most of the letters the alphabet Rodgoile dot com. The balancer between we want to get the best return we can and we have these principles we're trying to invest according to that may align with the political philosophy. How do you balance that? Please, sir? 00:23:00 Speaker 3: Well, that's the very nature of the job, and I'm excited for it. It's not, actually, I think, as difficult as people think about which is right now. And I'm glad that Tom did this after pressure, after Sandy Hook. He said, look, gun manufacturing isn't something that our pension fund should be involved in, and that was the right decision. So similarly, I have said that we need to transition our New York economy away from possible fuels, and so we're going to do it in orderly fashion. And the New York City Pension Fund did this successfully. And has a better return. So the state pension fund should not be invested in companies that aren't consistent with New York values, but invest in the incredible companies that are out there that are returning a good return on the investment and actually reflect our values. We can invest in affordable housing projects all across the state that return higher than the six percent threshold that's expected for the pension fund, and build affordable homes for New Yorkers. That's a double win. That's a double win me in a good way. And Tom is doing neither of those things. So we can indeed grow the pension fund, safeguard that retirement security for the firefighters and the teachers and the county workers and the state workers that we so cherish, and we can reflect our values. 00:24:17 Speaker 1: Roger Goyle a candidate in the Democrat primary for count Troller. There are three candidates, of course, mister Napli, the incumbent, is the prime opponent. Is why should people select you over mister Warshaw? Please, sir? 00:24:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm a pooven fighter. You know, I've led a company from scratch. I got elected actually twenty years ago, and one of the hardest places to be a Democrat, and I reflected democratic progressive values every single day. So you know, this isn't a time for on the job training as a leader. This isn't a time. We don't really need technocrafts right now. I would suggest we need somebody who has stood up in a fight. I was at the acou fighting for immigrants after nine to eleven when the Bush administration was targeting people and buyo ating civil liberties. I've been in those fights, and I've got a very clear vision for what this office can do. I also think it's you know, diversity and representation matters a lot. I think it's a great it would be a great science for New York States of the first South Asian elected statewide, the first son of immigrants who would be elected this position statewide. And so I'm a really excited about the opportunity that we're presenting to the voters a new option. We have raised almost basically as much money as Tom see them again, amount more money than my other opponents, and I think we've got a real potential put a coalition together on Tuesday to bring change to this very important office. 00:25:40 Speaker 1: Roger Goyle, if you're a Democrat, there's a primary going on right now for comptroller. He would appreciate your vote. State legislator in the Midwest. A lot of Republicans out that way were their lessons learned there? I mean, can you the state is predominantly Democratic, course, they're a fair number of publican independents. You can you work with other folks who aren't of your party. 00:26:02 Speaker 3: I can work with anybody if they want to tackle the affordability crisis and make sure that we save card our values. So what as I said that the essence of this campaigns that we need better Democrats, and we're seeing that in primaries all over the state, in the New York City region, but really all over the states. And so I am happy to work with anybody who want just like you know here in New York City is on Mondani has mentioned that, you know he's sitting here having in conversations with the President, and the reason is that anybody who wants to lower utility rates, build more housing is and make sure that we actually have a pension fund that is secure and is growing for our retirees is somebody I'll work with. Now, this is, of course a Democratic primary, and I think for Democrats who are listening to this. If you want somebody who has not been part of the problem and not part of the Albany establishment. Tom de Naple. Respect his years of service, but forty years in old me fifty three years as a politician. I think it's time for change, and that's why I'm offering. I'm very proud of the campaign we're running, the energy we're getting, and I'm excited for next Tuesday. 00:27:12 Speaker 1: Roger Goyle RAJ G O y l E dot com, Sir, I appreciate you speaking with us, wish you the best of luck, and again, thanks so much for your time. 00:27:22 Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks to you, thanks for your service, and I appreciate you having me. 00:27:26 Speaker 1: It was my honor, sir. All the best to you. Roger Goyle, who is a Democrat candidate net comptroller primary going on right now. This is news Radio Wham eleven eighty to the class of twenty twenty six.
