1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Talk radio with street crack.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Literally Curtis Slawa joined seventy ten WR to guess those

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: from Mark Samof.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: It's right. You know you have guests or callers.

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: I don't want them glazing me either, you know, patronizing me.

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: Really what you want as a guest who is an adversary?

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: And then you have a discussion likewise your callers, who

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: needs this Barney talk all the time? I love you,

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: you love me?

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: You know.

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: You go to MSNBC, it's all the same people. It's

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: like they're in their court, acquire same thing Fox News Channel.

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: The whole idea is you get different points of view

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: and you come to your own conclusion.

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that?

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's got to be all I love you, you

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: love me.

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: Get out of here. That's not Curtis sleeler. Anyway.

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones. First up, it's Jackline in Brooklyn.

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: Your turn to be heard here on WR.

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: Curtis, I just want to tell you from that other

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: station they censored me, going back to the month of

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: October when they started to ramp up their rhetoric against you.

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: I think you know who I am, and I was

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 3: one of your biggest cheerleaders, not only on that station,

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: but everywhere. They would not take my calls. I tried

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 3: to point out to everyone. I did a deep dive

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: into the details of all of these so called polls,

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: and I explained to them how there was no way

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: that Cuomo could ever win that election, and because of that,

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: they stopped taking my calls and I stopped listening to

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: that station.

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Good good, well, let me tell you Jack, for many

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: of you, and I know you're out there because you

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: come up to me all the time. You're texting me,

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: you're sending me emails.

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: All of that. Good.

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: Hey, you don't need to go back to that bashing

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Curtis stuff.

40
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: You stay right here is seven t wo? What right?

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: You got enough good talk here to satisfy your needs.

42
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: Don't be a massive kiss and go back there.

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: By the way, updates when I do my tribute to

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Bernard mcgirka, they never do with WABC any longer. Is

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: that the guy in the morning, you know, Sid Tessio.

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: He's planning to move to Florida. Oh yeah, yeah, they're hurts.

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: You get right there out of here. They're not gonna

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: stay and fight. No, no, no, no, they don't believe improved,

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: don't move. They want out. Look, you're free to go.

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: This is the greatness of America.

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: If you're not happy in our trach state area here

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: or anywhere you move around, it's called migration. It's what's

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: made America great. I don't fault any of you if

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: you do that. I've chosen no, no, no, no, I improve.

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: I don't move. I fight for what I know is right.

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 2: Un So i'mndami is going to initiate something that I'm

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: in opposition to with others.

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: It's to the barricades right out of me? Is that

59
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: up to the barricades?

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: See?

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Got a place you can come?

62
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: They don't need to go to WABC, always bashing Curtis

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: and obviously where the talk show hosts and hostesses are

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: all preparing to abandon ship. Oh I know I have

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: it on good authority. That's going to Russ who's calling

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: from White Plains. Your turn to be heard here at WABC.

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Lost toys down there? Did they not know that you

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: sacrificed an Ivy League education for freedom from Jackson? Tis?

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean Curtis your crusader. Oh stop placing me. Here's

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: another one patronizing me. I did not sacrifice an Ivy

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: League education. Let's get the record straight. I was going

72
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: to Brooklyn Prep. I was his senior died. Chegwood High

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: School was the last year they were open, seventy two.

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: I was the student government president.

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: We took a.

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: Plever site not to wear the jacketson ties, which were

77
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: part of the tradition. I tried to enforce the plever site.

78
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: The Jesuits warned me. They said, it will be consequences

79
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: for your actions. Why do you think your mom and

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: dad and other parents work so hard so their kids

81
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: can come and get a good Jesuit education. Part of

82
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: it is the discipline of wearing a jacket in tie.

83
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: But hey, as in the sixties the counter culture, don't

84
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: trust anybody over thirty. Challenge authority, as I always dot.

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: But the best lesson that I ever got taught was

86
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: there are consequences for your actions.

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: The headmaster was a guy named Father Alexander. It was

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: a prefective discipline. Always hated me. They marched me to

90
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: my locker. I had to clear it out. I thought

91
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: everybody else would join me right to a walk out.

92
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: They looked at me as if I was a member

93
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: of the Leper College, and I never heard from any

94
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: of them, and I headed home to Canarsie and I.

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: Never looked back, never looked back.

96
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: Spent a few weeks in Canarsie High School, pretty good

97
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: local high school, but that was it.

98
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: I had it one out, started working.

99
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: I was pumping gas, packing shelves at NAP and A

100
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: and P, and then ended up going up to the

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: Bronx where I became the night manager of Mickey D's.

102
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: And that's where I started the Guardian Angels. So I

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: never finished high school technically, never got a GED. I

104
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: did have a partial scholarship that was being offered to

105
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: me from Brown in Providence because they had just set

106
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: up a environmental studies program. I had started some of

107
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: the first recycling centers all over.

108
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: The country, although right there in book.

109
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: And they wanted to give me a half scholarship, which

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: I'd probably would have taken if I graduated.

111
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: But I my.

112
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: Decisions caused me to suffer the consequences. And this is

113
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: what you have to learn and teach your children and

114
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: grandchildren growing up. And sometimes you have to learn the

115
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: hard way. There are consequences for your actions, and that's

116
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: the way it you be let's go to Leonora's calling

117
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: from Connecticut. Your turn to be heard on what I

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: I just want you to know I checked out for

121
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: the holidays. I didn't know where you were when I

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 4: put on War, and there you are. I freaked out.

00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: proud you didn't. Mcdonmie was gonna win no matter what.

128
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: Cuomo was never gonna take it. I don't care who

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: was paying him or what was going on. Mcdonmie was

130
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: gonna take it.

131
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: And I am.

132
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: Proud you're on w O War and I'm so excited

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: to start my new year out this way. So keep

134
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: it going, Curtis.

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, remember remember Leonora.

136
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: For everyone who's just listening now, I'm only here upstanding

137
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: for Mark Simone, the best in the business. I mean,

138
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: this guy's the smooth operator.

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: All right.

140
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: I've worked side by side with Mark Simone. I competed

141
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: against Mark Simon. There were none betic, none better than

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: the business and the person who is jumping up and

143
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: down looking forward to Mark's return on Monday. The fifth

144
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: is Greg Kelly over at WABC, because I'd walk in,

145
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: I'd walk into that studio BBS sitting there snacking off

146
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: of Mark Simone's shows, taking all kinds of notes. That's

147
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: how we would do a show prep, which is a

148
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: pretty good idea, especially when you're like Greg Kelly and

149
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: you don't do any show prep and you think you

150
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: could sit there for three hours and just do a

151
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: stream of consciousness.

152
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't work.

153
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: So he'd be taking notes, you know, like comedians would

154
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: be stealing lines from one another. By the way, we're

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: gonna be talking about AI in the next hour. Let

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: me quantify it. It's like Joe Biden. It's a plagiarism

157
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: machine that steals and plunders all kinds of information. So

158
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: like comedians used to steal from one another, and Greg
