Speaker 2: lot to deal with coming up to deal with you

Speaker 2: here and now, because is he who's on the boards

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: formerly a refugee from WABC, used to be always broadcasting

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: Curtis No more, it's always booked bashing Curtis so good,

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: good that you hear? Is he much better place? And

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: as you know from my many years of broadcasting, whenever

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: the temperatures would get below freezing, I would have a

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: phrase that was taught to me by my father Chester,

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: who grew up in the Chicago area right off of

22
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: Lake Michigan, when there were real winters with real snow

23
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: storms twenty foot more before we had global warming and

24
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: climate change. I know a lot of you it's a

25
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: fake fake. It's not fake global warming and climate change.

26
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. It is not fake. But

27
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: no hawk is talking. Now, you're not city. I've heard

28
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: that phrase over the years. What does that mean? The

29
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: hawk is talking? Actually came out of Chicago South Side,

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: where my dad was from, and his family on the

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: polar side of my family forty six in Rockwell. I

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: actually spent four years going up there from ages one

33
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: to five and then came back to Brooklyn. But the

34
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: hawk was talking, I think was first said by Louis Armstrong.

35
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: That's right, play that horn. Louis from North Corona in Queens,

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: right opposite where Tony Bennet grew up. The crooner from Estoria,

37
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: the estorya kid. Yeah, oh they got him. You see

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: him near the house of Louis Armstrong. But Louis Armstrong

39
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: would come into the South Side black jazz clubs frequented

40
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: by whites and blacks, interracial crowd and because it felt

41
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: like it was forty degrees below zero wind chill fact

42
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: up because the winds were coming off of Lake Michigan.

43
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: He would say, the hawk is talking because his lips

44
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: which is so frozen. Like the other performers, they tell

45
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: you basically, it's gonna take like five or ten minutes

46
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: from my lips to unfreeze, so I could be able

47
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: to play that horn now, which probably didn't know, or

48
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: maybe some of you knew that Louis Armstrong probably consumed

49
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: and inhaled and exhaled more reef for more marijuana than

50
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: anybody else during the jazz era. That's what he was knowing.

51
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: In fact, he would actually shotgun you through the horn,

52
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: which meant basically he would inhale it and then exhale

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: it through the horn and right into your schnazola. Long

54
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: before the nineteen sixties, peace, Love and happiness, Haye Ashbury

55
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: Woodstock half a million strong up the New York State

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: through it. Yeah, a long time before the era that

57
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: we called the counterculture. I grew up in the ear

58
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: of the hippies, era of the Hippies. Well, anyway, the

59
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: hawk is talking, and it reminded me at the times

60
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: we would go visit the Polish side of the family.

61
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: Christmas Easter. My dad had put everybody in the fifty

62
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: four Ford station wagon Old Betsy, you know, whitewall tires,

63
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: wood panels, and we'd be going through all different areas.

64
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: I mean, we ended up going across Phillipsburg from Jersey,

65
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: across the bridge through Easton, which was the home of

66
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: Larry Holmes world champion heavyweight. Obviously not back in the

67
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: early sixties when we were riding through there. And then

68
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: I remember Allentown and Bethlehem had the US Steel plant

69
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: going now it's a casino, and we go through Pittsburgh

70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: three ships round the clock on an orange plume would

71
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: hang over the city because of all the steel mills.

72
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: And then eventually through Gary, Indiana, the South Chicago, the

73
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 2: steel mills there, going three shifts right into Chicago itself.

74
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: That's when Steele was king in the United States. Now

75
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: you have US Steel partly owned by the Japanese partnerly

76
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: owned by the United States the Trump administration to keep

77
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: all that steel being made here, right, boy, that's a throwback.

78
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: And I remember we'd go out to the sleep With compound.

79
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: By then they were out in Lockport, which was between

80
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Joliet had that walled prison there in Chicago, and they

81
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: had the subdivisions, and my job was to go out

82
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: and slap the hogs. Oh yeah, slap the hogs after

83
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: the feed for the family. And I learned there were

84
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: the two of the smartest animals ever, the hogs, the

85
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: pigs and the crows who were out there in the cornfields,

86
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: you know, with these scarecrows trying to scam away. My dad,

87
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: in fact, when he was young, had Jimmy the crow

88
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: that was his pet. It would fly with him to

89
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: and from school to Sherman Park in his public school,

90
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: and he would wait there on the windowsill until my

91
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: dad was ready to walk home again to the south side.

92
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Forty six and Rockwell, that's a little bit of that

93
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: side issue. But let's talk about this storm warning and

94
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: the fact that many of you are you know, well,

95
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: you gotta sort of go back in time to remember

96
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: when heavy snowfalls were common and now it's an exception

97
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: to the rule. And I've always said, why is it

98
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: different now? I say global warming, climate change. Look what's

99
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: happening in southern California there, It's like a tsunami has

100
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: hit the area. But oh no, no, it's of course

101
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: not you know, Okay, you could have your opinion. I

102
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: have my opinion. But I remember it'd be like fourteen

103
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: sixteen foot of snow had to go out, put the

104
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: chains on the tires, know, the buses, the klang klang huge,

105
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the sanitation bulldozers would push the snow all

106
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: to an area, you know, almost like a mount rushmore

107
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: there on the corners. You don't have that anymore. And

108
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: it's interesting as we were hearing these forecasts, because Nancy

109
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: was driving me all through the tri state area visiting

110
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: her relatives. Uh and uh. Also, oh, some interesting information

111
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: I picked up at a copper crow remember as the

112
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: crow flies. That's on Broadway and Olmony Capitol Land. What

113
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: is that is the crow flies? It's the most direct

114
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: straight line distance between two places. Yep, a great place, Coppler.

115
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: And man, did I learn a lot about how Republicans

116
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: are throwing the party under the bus that will not

117
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: have those chains, those old iron chains at all. No, no,

118
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: no no, but thrown under the bus with as you know,

119
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: Alice Stephonic leaving the race. Oh that's gonna be operation

120
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: hush hush much much. You're not gonna want to miss

121
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: it because I'm connecting all the dots as I worked

122
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: my way through troy Almanies, connected the Hamilton Hill, all

123
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: these places again with the predictions where snow. You know

124
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: snow is coming. What I said as the crow flies,

125
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: a lot of crows up there, smart animals, smart birds

126
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: and anyway, I said to myself, Wow. And then people

127
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: coming up to me, no matter where I was, because

128
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: obviously I'm wearing the red butray, the red Satine jacket,

129
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: and they're giving me all kinds of information about what

130
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: I should be doing with my life. Yeah, is he

131
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: I'm up there in Capitol len oh Man, you should

132
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: be on WG wire. I heard you on WO off

133
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: and watch someone. I said, why would I want to

134
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: be on WGY A ten big station up there in Albany.

135
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: But I'm not coming up here at Albany. I spent

136
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: time in the South End in Aubury, Hilm. I'm not

137
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: coming up to Albany. And then on my way down

138
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: at one of those rest stops in the New York

139
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: State through a way you know, before we hit Marwall.

140
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: You know, we went from Rockland and then into New

141
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: Jersey and nown threw Fortney over the GW bridge and

142
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: I looked up and there was Eric Adams, a swaggerman

143
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: with no plans, apartment that he's lived in for years,

144
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: you know, with his what is no his boo, his beard,

145
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: Tracy and then the other girl friend, the weightlifter underneath

146
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: apartment twenty two eighth. I'm not gonna give you the address,

147
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: and I said to myself, man, I've come full circle.

148
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: And then as we finally get into the apartment, it's

149
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: in the wee hours in the morning. And what does

150
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: my wife do? Nancy the best thing that ever happened

151
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 2: to me. She starts binge watching The Office, you know,

152
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: the show from Scratton, New Jersey with Steve Carell as

153
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: Michael and Dwight and Jim. And she's got on the

154
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: episode which is I guess you'd call it the snowball

155
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: episode Classy Christmas, in which the whole concept is it's

156
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: not a real snowfall if it's just a dusting of snow.

157
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, if you haven't seen this, you gotta you

158
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: gotta watch that episode. Well, one of my favorite TV shows. Again,

159
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: Nancy loves to binge watch, you know, as we come

160
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: into New Year's I'll be very busy, as I always am,

161
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: but uh never busy enough to miss Rod shirling in

162
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: the Twilight Zone and the non stop showing of some

163
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: of the greatest TV programs of all time. Speaking of

164
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: upstate New York state, if he was from Beington, New York,

165
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: Day finally put up a statue to his honor in

166
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: the park. Dep Boy, I'm moving in a lot of

167
00:10:54,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: different directions here, because a true snow snowfall is determined

168
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: by whether you can make snowballs, whether it's packing snow,

169
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: because if it's too light, you can't make a snowfall.

170
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: Even if there's some accumulation, it's all about packing snow.

171
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: And already you heard the news reports are there. They're

172
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: moving out there with all the rock salt. They're spreading

173
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: it in advance. Why why you know is he where

174
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: the rock salt comes from? Do you have any idea

175
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: underneath Detroit? When I was in Detroit, they have canyons

176
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: under ground in which they are mining salt rock salt

177
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: now for de icing, But back then when I first

178
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: saw it, leather, food, processing, all things underneath Detroit, thousand

179
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: feet down, I don't know if people will where are

180
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: that That's where the salt comes from. And I'm saying,

181
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: why are you gonna throw salt on the ground. First

182
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: of all, it's gonna eat up the as fork. Then

183
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 2: you're gonna have potholes of the size of lunar craters.

184
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: And then while you're driving along they already hate drivers

185
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: in so many places, especially New York City. Now you're undercarriage,

186
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: is gonna be thrown out all of a sudden, Your

187
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: bull bearings will need adjustment, your trott will end up

188
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: sort of becoming bent into shape. You have to end

189
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: up in a fender bended shop. And a lot of

190
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: that has to do with it's sparing rock salt to ride.

191
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: Why not do what they do it up in Wisconsin

192
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: where they're used to actual snow or for lake mission

193
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee. Is they spread a combination of beats, yeah, beats,

194
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: a brine or a cheese brine so that it doesn't

195
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: end up destroying the asphalt and creating those potholes which

196
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: become lunar craters. And by the way, then the deer

197
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: come out. That's the other problem in Wisconsin. The deer

198
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: come out and they want to lick up the beats

199
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: and the cheese offs, the asphalt, and boy, we saw

200
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: a lot of deer on all way down coming from

201
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: Capital Land last night. And I know for some of

202
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: you you look at deer as if it's agent Orange

203
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: in hooves, because they eat up everything like a pac

204
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: Man packed woman. Don't say that to my wife, Nancy,

205
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you'd be going to war with her. Hey. Look,

206
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 2: that's just a little thumbnail sketch where I was and

207
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: what we were doing as a family. And also the

208
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: information that I learned on this lie hush hush, much

209
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: mush about how key Republicans are working in tandem to

210
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: destroy the Republican Party as we know it in New

211
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 2: York State, New York City and actually turn it into

212
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: a wing of the old moderate Democratic Party. Well, you

213
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: don't want to go anywhere, alright? Are you gonna go anywhere?

214
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: All this information that I'm bringing to you, Like Paul Revere,

215
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: I'm warning you in advance, doing all the groundwork, and

216
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 2: now it's on your place to be. Seven ten War

217
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: our favorite radio station in the SLIWA household. And yeah,

218
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: our cats love listening to it too, The Voice of

219
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: New York. The numbers eight hundred three two one zero

220
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: seven ten. That's eight hundred three to two one zero

221
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: seven ten. The Pulse of New York.

222
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York, Curtis Sleewall guest

223
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: host from marximon on seven ten war.

224
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it being the pulse of the tri

225
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: state area. That's where I was in the last forty

226
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: eight hours, since I was talking to all of U

227
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: s ubstooting for Mark and Gary was with the orange cone. Hell,

228
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you driving around, they got the orange cones,

229
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: and they got the orange barrels there with the reflector

230
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: tape so you could see it at night. And you

231
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: say to yourself, that's symptomatic of the problems that we

232
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: have with our infrastructure wherever you see those through out Pennsylvania,

233
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: New Jersey, upstate New York, wherever we went here in

234
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: New York City. And Nancy had the responsibility to drive,

235
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: believe it or not. I don't have a driver's license.

236
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: I've driven before when I was a teenager. You know,

237
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: it took to test, obviously, no problem. The written part

238
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: problem was parallel parking. I had long hair at the time.

239
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: My cousin Lenny Beams me on Chino said, hey, just

240
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: put a twenty. Just put a twenty there right right,

241
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: so that the instructor could see it. You'll pass. I

242
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: wasn't going to bribe the instructor. And he did not

243
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: like long hair. He attributed it or you must be

244
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: a hip, must be part of the anti war movement.

245
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: And every time it would get to the parallel parking stage,

246
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: I would flub it. No license, but I drove for years,

247
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: but I don't drive now. So my wife asked to

248
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: do all the driving, and all she asked for all

249
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: she needs, Like for so many of you listening wherever

250
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: you are, even throughout the world as you're listening, is

251
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: seven to ten WR because I know you are. You're

252
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: contacting me. Oh, listening to it in Shanghai. That was interesting.

253
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: But anyway, my wife, she just needs a good cup cool.

254
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: So yesterday, as you know, a lot of places that

255
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: closed for Christmas, the only time of the year they closed,

256
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: And we're at a Starbucks and all places Troy, New York.

257
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: It's open and not far from Russell Stage College, great,

258
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: great college. Yeah, and were you in there like an hour?

259
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: Just get a cup colfee and like, I'm not gonna

260
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: complain my wife, Nancy. She's doing all the driving, but

261
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: it's like an hour for a cup coolfee. We could

262
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: have gone to one of the gas stations and she goes,

263
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: I ain't drinking gas station coffee, No way. And we

264
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: waited an hour and Nancy got her coffee in Oh,

265
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: it was like a mood elevator without that coffee. Lookout,

266
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: you're like like Sybil, multiple personalities, I mean, quite ease,

267
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: and I'm sure there are a lot of people out

268
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: there the same way. But she got that cup of octane,

269
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: that coffee, and she was good to go, and we

270
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: continued on our way. But there's fear, fright and hysteria

271
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: over the coming snow. And I'm saying it's as we

272
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: talk about now the segue into Zora and Mandami being

273
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: sworn in as mayor. And I know a lot of

274
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: you are moaning and groaning, and you you can't get

275
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: over the election. He won the election. Get used to it.

276
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: If he does good, the city does good, we all

277
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 2: do good, the state does good, America does good. But

278
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: for some of you, you want the guy to crash

279
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: and burn. I mean every step of the way. Look

280
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: that's your thing, but I'll tell you this, one of

281
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: those litmus tests used to be not just in Chicago,

282
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: where my dad would take us during the holidays to

283
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: visit that side of the family, and I remember there

284
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 2: was a Mayor Blandict there. He didn't get the snow up,

285
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: and guess what, he lost the election in a primary

286
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: to Mayor Jane Burn simply because he couldn't get the

287
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: snow up. Had that happened in New York City? John

288
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 2: Lindsay Forest Hills, Oh, the mounds of snow, and he

289
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: lost the Republican line to run for reelection in sixty

290
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: nine and one on the Liberal line instead because of

291
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: the miracle mets of sixty nine winning and him claiming

292
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: he was a lifelong med fan, of which he couldn't

293
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: be like life long at that time. I only came

294
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: around since the early sixties. But typical political form, he

295
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: lied and he rode that to victory. But the point

296
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: being is with the snows. I remember Rudy Giuliani getting elected,

297
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: and I had campaigned with him when he lost first

298
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: against David Dinkins I eighty nine and then when he

299
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: won ninety three, and that first two years he had

300
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: more snow than I ever saw before. In fact, it

301
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: was that one which I think it was like h

302
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: January twentieth, if I'm gonna remembering nineteen ninety six, so

303
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: like maybe the second year of his mayoralty at thirty

304
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: inches in Staten Island, they were twenty inches here in

305
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 2: the city. They were using like salt everywhere. It was

306
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: like eleven storms that clobbered us in that year alone.

307
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: I remember it, and you say to yourself, we don't

308
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: have that now, And so you ask yourself, well, why

309
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: don't we have that. We're not talking about back into

310
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: the sixties or the seventies as I began this program,

311
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: right back to nineteen ninety six and a series of snowstorms,

312
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: and now we don't have them anymore. And unfortunately Eric

313
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: Adams is still the mayor. Is he in any country today?

314
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 2: Is he in Switzerland? Is he in the Caribbean? Western?

315
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: Who knows that taxpayers expense? And who cares? But the

316
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: city claims they're ready, they got all the rock salt ready,

317
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: They're already putting a little salt out into the asphalt.

318
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: And I'm saying to myself, man, that's gonna eat up

319
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: you go along that FDR driver is already a mess.

320
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: Right you go south from forty second Street the FTERR Drive,

321
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: you're going down past Houston Street a mess. It's like

322
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: lunar crater. Hell, nobody fixes it, and this will make

323
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: it that much worse. But oh my god, people are

324
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: ready to hunker down. How will we survive?

325
00:20:59,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: What?

326
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: Four inches six inches maybe eight inches? Imagine when it

327
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: was regular twenty inches thirty inches. Oh, so much to

328
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: reminisce about, but so much to talk about, because it's

329
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: really your turn to be heard. That that's really what

372
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: this hysteria and fear and is sweeping the area because

373
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: oh my god, there might be six to eight ten

374
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: inches maybe more of snow. And I'm saying to myself, boy,

375
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 2: he used to be that all the time as we

376
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: would approach the new year. But let's go to the

Speaker 2: into the paint. I was going to put a herding

Speaker 2: stations at that time over at WABC, and that guy

401
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: was a sharp shooter from the outside. He used to

402
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: call him, Hey, you know, he's like the six man

408
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 5: Hi, Curtis. I am so thrilled to speak with you,

409
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: and so thrilled that you're back on the air. I've

410
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 5: listened to you for so many years with Angels in

411
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 5: the Morning and Curtis and Coolbe and then of course

412
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 5: I got very little sleep because I was listening to

413
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: on the weekends overnight on that other station, in additional

414
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 5: listening to your friend Frank overnight also. But I wanted

415
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: to ask you something about your father. It's been bothering

416
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 5: me for years. Do you happen to know if your

417
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 5: father was a member of the National Maritime Union.

418
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: YEP, for close to fifty years he was a delegate.

419
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 2: He would actually go to battle with the trustees and

420
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 2: the lead of the National Maritime Union who was corrupt?

421
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 2: Joe Kern, I know.

422
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: And the reason I'm asking is because for years my

423
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: father had had a wholesale optical business and then he

424
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: lost it and he wound up working for the National

425
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 5: Maritime Union in that building where all the seamen would

426
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 5: come for their medical needs. And I worked there in

427
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 5: the summers, so chances are I sore your father I

428
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: met your father?

429
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And plus back then, you'd have to shape

430
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: up for work. So I'd go with my dad and

431
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: he'd have to shape up. He was a boson at

432
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: that time, which is like an equivalent of his sergeant.

433
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: You know, he's part of the union, National Maritime Union,

434
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: but really a part of management. Also you can't win

435
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 2: for it, and he'd have to shape up like everyone

436
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 2: else to catch a ship that was going out right

437
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: near Fourteenth Street where you had the National Maritime Union headquarters.

438
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: And it's that building that makes it look like it's

439
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: the side of a passenger ship with all those windows.

440
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: No longer obviously National Maritime Union. But boy, tremendous stories

441
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: that my dad would tell me when he would come home.

442
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: He'd be shipped out eight months a year, at home

443
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: four months a year, and to make ancillary income, he'd

444
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: go out there because he was a master craftsman, and

445
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: he worked for my cousin Joey g to teach from

446
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: Howard beat you at a construction firm in order so

447
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: that me my older sister a leader, my younger sister

448
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: Maria to get all the things that we wanted or

449
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: didn't want, like my mother forcing me to play the

450
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: piano for four years. I hated that every second of

451
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: the day that I played. And then when it was

452
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: time for my recital at a nearby synagogue in Canarsi,

453
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: I was playing rockmanin Off on the stage. My younger

454
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: sister Maria had played, made every mistake in the world,

455
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: got a standing ovation, didn't bother her. My oldest sister

456
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: are very accomplished pianist, and I played rockmano Off. Half

457
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: way through is He I forgot where I was. I

458
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: walked away from the piano and never came back to

459
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: play the piano again. I hated that my friends should

460
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: be outside. Hey, come on, Curtis, gotta practice my piano. Really,

461
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: are you a mama Luke? Look as my mom and

462
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: dad said, as long as we pay the bills here

463
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: and you're living under our roof in our house, you'll

464
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: follow our rules. Or hey, you're welcome to hit the

465
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: highway out there. See how difficult life is. Oh what

466
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: what great role models they were. They're no longer with

467
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: us anyway. Let's go to Glenn who was calling from

468
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: New Jersey. Your turn to be heard here on seven

469
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: ten wo R Gun.

470
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 6: Goodbody. Curtis over at the other station there, Greg Kelly

471
00:29:54,360 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 6: has been disparaging you incredible For the first hour of

472
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 6: his show. He spoke nothing about anything but Curtis and Curtis, Curtis, that,

473
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: and so forth. He's a loser. And I had to

474
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 6: call in and tell and tell Greg that he and

475
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 6: w R O you a debt of gratitude for giving

476
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 6: one hour of free publicity because I mentioned to him

477
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 6: two quotes. T. T. Barham said, famously, any publicity is

478
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 6: good publicity, and Oscar Wilde said, the only thing in

479
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 6: the world worse than being talked about is not being

480
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 6: talked about.

481
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, Glenn, so you know Greg Kelly

482
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: never comes prepared for a show. That's why you would

483
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: listen to Mark Simon. That would be his show prep.

484
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: You would actually admit that I'm listening to Mark and

485
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: then taking notes. He has no Mark to listen to.

486
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: He hates listening to me and gives him something to

487
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: talk about because he'd always run out of steam. That's

488
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: why they had me in the bullpen. You better jump

489
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: in there with Greg. He's growing, he's running out of

490
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: things to talk about because he didn't do his show prep.

491
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: You just don't come on the air and think think

492
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna be able to do talk radio. Oh no, oh, Bob,

493
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: by the way, a suggest for me by a work

494
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: coup at the MDA coming up, You're never gonna Oh, yes,

495
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: you might actually conceive it. This you don't want to

496
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: go anywhere, And I'll tell you the true nitty gritty

497
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: secret of what's going on behind the scenes as the

498
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: Republican leadership in New York State now, as they did

499
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: in New York City, are selling out to moderate Democrats,

500
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: and they did it against elist Dephonic Now More with.

501
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis Leewah guest hosting from

502
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: Mark Simone on seven ten.

503
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: Woo No. I came out of the subway this morning.

504
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: I always do with the MTA money taking agency. Some

505
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: workers they're the brothers, and they were telling me everybody

506
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: is giving me advice. Yo, man, you should be on

507
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: Hot ninety seven. More gangs, more drugs, more dry bites.

508
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no. Apparently they had a show

509
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: that got wiped out. Hebro in the morning. I only

510
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: knew the one guy there, Peter Rosenberg. But hey, that's

511
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: tough times. I get that, but I ain't. I'm not

512
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: doing hip hop Rightio and Jo while we heard you

513
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: on charlamagnea God the Breakfast Glove. Yeah, during the campaign,

514
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: and I could kick it with people about hip hop

515
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: in the streets, no doubt about it. By the way,

516
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 2: I see, iHeart products Charlemagne that got signed up rebooted

517
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: for like Aaron Judge money. Hey, he deserves me. He

518
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: told the great story how his wife took him to

519
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: his first internship. He didn't have a car, he didn't

520
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: have a nickel diamond penny to his name at a

521
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: radio station and had to drive him to him from

522
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: the job. Well, the rest is history. And then the

523
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: brothers were saying, you saw Nicki MINAJATOI yeah, man, she

524
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: was attacking the Muslims for killing Christians in Nigeria. And

525
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: the President heard it and he responded, I say, you

526
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: don't really think that. Trump responded to Nicki Minajati, Well,

527
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: we come back right here on your new place to

528
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: be seven ten war.

529
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis Leewall

530
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: guest host The Mark Simone Show on sevent tenor.

531
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: After spending so much time in the Tri State area

532
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: during the Christmas holidays, visiting Nancy's part of the family.

533
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: By the way, she's busy working the phones this morning

534
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: now that we're back, making sure that folks are caring

535
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: for their ferral cats, those who live doors, making sure

536
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: you have those houses out there to protect him from

537
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: the inclement weather. That's what my wife, Nancy does, with

538
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: so many other mostly women, but some men, who rescue

539
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: animals in distress. So she's busy, busy, busy. So was

540
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 2: Nicki Minajatois. I got to discuss it because in the

541
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 2: aftermath of that Turning Point gathering they had yearly in Phoenix,

542
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: and Charlie Kirk was alive, now hosted by his wife

543
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: after he got assassinated, and some interesting characters who showed up,

544
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 2: two of whom I know, we'll talk about it later,

545
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson, but most of them I

546
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: really don't know. I couldn't understand why Russell Brand would

547
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 2: be there, by the way, charged with two more rapes

548
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: since he appeared there in England. We'll discuss that later on,

549
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: but out on the stage hand in hand with Erika

550
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: Kirk was Nicki Minajhaty and I'm here all the conspirators

551
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: conspiratory talk out there, said oh oh, Nicki Minajatoy. You

552
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 2: know she was talking about Christians under attack in Nigeria

553
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: by Muslim extremists, pokoharam isis all of that true? And

554
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: by her making this like a key point using her

555
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: public platform, it certainly may have been like the accelerant

556
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: to President Donald Trump to actually go in there and

557
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: take them out, which apparently he did over the Christmas

558
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 2: holiday with the cooperation of the Leader of Nigeria. And

559
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 2: many people were saying, yeah, yeah, yeah. When Nicki Minajatoy

560
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: was on that stage with Erika Kirk and was praising

561
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: the president, is yeah yeah, even though we're the cool kids, Erica,

562
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: the real role models for young men, Donald Trump, And

563
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: then she called JD. Vance the assassin. I ain't quite

564
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: get that. Maybe somebody out there knows. It was very

565
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: confusing to me. But then again, Nicki Minajetois, the rapes,

566
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: the hip hop queen, has always confused me. And no,

567
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: I don't think that her talk of this issue was

568
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: the catalyst to have the President of the United States

569
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: launch a Christmas Night airstrike on compounds of Isis and Bocahram,

570
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: who have kidnapped school children before, mostly girls, have killed

571
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: many Christians worshiping as that sectarian violence continues in the

572
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: most well the wealthiest country in all of Africa, just

573
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 2: because of the oil reserves in Nigeria and also one

574
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: of the most corrupt, there's no doubt about it. We'll

575
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: get into all of that. But what I remember a

576
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: Nicki Minajah toy is that she went to Fiorello H.

577
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: LaGuardia High School. Oh yeah, School of Performing Arts and

578
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: Izzy if I remember correctly. Maybe you'll have to nourish

579
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: my memory. You know. Her hip hop classics were say

580
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: so win again. What that would appear appeal to Donald Trump? Right,

581
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: we're winning, We're winning. And Super Freaky Girl, which was

582
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: really a takeoff. If you remember up there in Orchard Park,

583
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: in the land of Kathy the Grifter HOCl that's where

584
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills used to have their old stadium when O. J.

585
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: Simpson was the star, and now they have the News Stadium,

586
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: which is in Orchard Park not far from Rick James. Oh.

587
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: He had his campaign upound there and the Mary Jane girls, remember,

588
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 2: and who came up there and gave up a year

589
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 2: of his life to get a number one hit song.

590
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: Party all the time, Eddie Murphy, Yeah, as they were

591
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: doing lines. There's no doubt about it. But Rick James,

592
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 2: he came up remember super freak. See, that's why people

593
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: think that I could do hip hop radio. Ain't happening.

594
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: I may know a lot about it, but it ain't.

595
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: Ain't no way, but it can certainly hit on this

596
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: because there are some people who were trying to connect

597
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: the dots and saying Nicki Minajatoi, he has this epiphany.

598
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: She announces how horrible it is. It is the Muslim

599
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: extremists from Boko Haram, and isis kidnapping and killing Christians

600
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 2: and burning down churches at his shoe, and that something

601
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: has to be done about it. And then all of

602
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 2: a sudden, somehow there was the the the trifecta, so

603
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: to speak. So it went from Nicki Minajatoi to Erika

604
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: Kirk who went out on the stage with her, and

605
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, President Donald Trump, who had

606
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 2: commented on that, decided to light those terrorist camps up

607
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: on Christmas night, which apparently he did. And you say

608
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: to yourself, could there be a connection there. I don't

609
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 2: think so. But in this day and age of the influencers,

610
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: I don't know what they influence. They influenced Maghan Hud

611
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: nothing Bupkis. But you know these self appointed influencers are

612
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: already making this correlation. But remember, this is an opportunity

613
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: for all of you to get involved with what For

614
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: some of you, I'm sure it's your newfound station for

615
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 2: talk seven to ten wor By being hurt because that's

616
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: always been a part of my thirty five years in

617
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: talk radio. I love taking calls. I treat the callers

618
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 2: like it's a mosh pit, whether you're a friend of

619
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 2: full When I died, right in our numbers eight hundred

620
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten, that's eight hundred three

621
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten. So they're having this

622
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 2: massive gathering as had every year for a turning point.

623
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk would host it when he was alive. After

624
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: being assassinated, his wife Erica, has taken on the duties.

625
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: I never really paid attention to it, obviously, like the

626
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 2: rest of you, we're hearing more about it this time.

627
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: And what I couldn't understand. It's like, how is it

628
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: they had Russell Brand up there. Now, for those of

629
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: you whom may not know Russell Brand, he was married to.

630
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 2: I just kissed the girl, Katy Perry for a while.

631
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: Obviously it didn't work out. He went his way, she

632
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: went hers. So he's up on the stage and I'm

633
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: watching him at turning point and he's talking about how yeah, yeah, yeah,

634
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm no longer with Katie. I really love her. Okay,

635
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: those are all the right things. And you know I

636
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 2: didn't object when she was with Orlando Bloom. I didn't

637
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 2: even know you get to weigh in any longer, but

638
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: he did. But now that she's with Justin Trudeau Junior,

639
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: that globalist stooge, and the crowd went't crazy. And what

640
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 2: I'm saying, what the hell is this guy doing on

641
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: the stage. He was already accused in England of like

642
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 2: five rapes and sexual assault, and since his appearance there,

643
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: two more counts have been added on. He claims he's

644
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 2: a sex addict, but he never raped anybody. Yeah sure, right, okay,

645
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: you'll have your day in court over there. I've been

646
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: in the old Bailey, the old old Barey after I

647
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: got stabbed in Wandsworth in the South end of London

648
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: while organizing the Guardian Angels and a Council of State.

649
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 2: Part of that is when they stitched me up, I figured,

650
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: how the hell am I gonna pay this bill? I

651
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: don't have up Back then it was the pound, those

652
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 2: sterling hey, the sterling pound. I don't have any money.

653
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: They said, mate, you're lucky. As I went to the

654
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: casualty ward to get stitched up. This is national healthcare service.

655
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: You don't have to pass it. But I'm an American. Yeah,

656
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 2: we could tell that you don't have to pay. Let's see,

657
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 2: I'm off on a bit of attention. But Russell Bran

658
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: clearly a brit He's made his mark as comedian. I've

659
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: seen him on YouTube, he's been on radio over there,

660
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: you know, the BBC one, two, three, four, whatever. But

661
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how the hell he made the cut.

662
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: Is this the kind of role model you want? You're

663
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: talking about all the right kind of role models. I

664
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 2: just said, I can't figure that one out. Maybe somebody

665
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 2: out there can help connect the dots for me. At

666
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: one eight hundred three to one zero seven ten, So

667
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: you got NICKI minajatoag Uh, you got Russell Brand and

668
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of others, But the only really two

669
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: that I knew who were featured there was Ben Shapiro

670
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 2: basically torched all of his adversaries on the conservative right.

671
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he laid down verbal napalm to the Canvas

672
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 2: Owens of the world, the Tucker Colson's of the world,

673
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: the Megan Kelly's of the world, and of course Nazi

674
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 2: boy Nicki Flantez. He just he laid out rhetorical napalm.

675
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 2: And then of course it was Tucker Carlson. He spoke

676
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 2: in reaction to what Ben Shapiro had said about him

677
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: earlier in that day in Phoenix, and uh, I'm gonna

678
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 2: share with you my personal experiences with both, because again

679
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: I never knew Nicki minajatois, though supposedly the Influenzias has

680
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: said her talk about the attacks against Christian Christians in

681
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: Nigeria by Muslim extremists is what propelled the president actually

682
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: fire up those Tomahawk missiles offshore and battleships that he's

683
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: going to want a name after himself when they come

684
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 2: out of the dry dock. Oh that's coming up. Milton Bradley.

685
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: Remember Remember that was the game you wanted for Christmas,

686
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 2: Milton Bradley Battleship. There didn't have Tomahawk missiles at that time. Wow.

687
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 2: And I think there's somehow a connection there, somehow. Nicki

688
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: Minaj talked about it and the President did something about it. Well, look,

689
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 2: you fired them up. The ISIS terrorists in Syria in

690
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: their camps because they had killed the Americans National guardsmen

691
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: from believe it was Arkansas to the point Arkansas, Oklahoma. And

692
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: I get that. I know our troops are poised right

693
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: outside of Venezuela to be flying in there and bombing

694
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 2: areas that were claiming is where drug manufacturing is taking

695
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 2: place by Maduro. I wonder about that. I don't trust government.

696
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: I never had, whether it's Democrats or Republicans, because we

697
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: have been told so much about wars. We have gotten

698
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: involved in LBJ, the Gulf of Tonkin resolution so good

699
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 2: that the Pentagon papers revealed what really was going on.

700
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: LBJ and others created that rationale to continue with the

701
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: carnage in Vietnam. And Daniel Elsburg deserved a salute and

702
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 2: instead he was attacked viciously. He was whistle blower. This

703
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: is what they do, the whistle blowers, and then the

704
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 2: weapons are massed destruction. You know that Dick Cheney told

705
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 2: us is the reason we had to invade Saddam Hussein

706
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: in Iraq? How did that work out? And how we

707
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 2: took out Momar Kadaffi in Libya because at the time

708
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 2: the Secretary of State Hillary decided we needed to fire

709
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: them up, take out Momar Kadaffi. How did that work out?

710
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: What a mess that is now? But oh oh no,

711
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: they never apologized and there's never apology. We made a mistake.

712
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it was wrong. No before John, So when

713
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 2: we come back, I'll tell you a little bit about

714
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: what they know about Ben Shapiro, who I've been in

715
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 2: his company, and Tucker Carlson, who I've been in this company.

716
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 2: The others I really haven't been. I don't want to

717
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: surmise what's going on in their minds. How all the

718
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: furniture is arranged in the wrong rooms for some like

719
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: Candice Owens by Nazi boy, Nikki Fuentes and others. But

720
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: I can't tell you about the people that I know.

721
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 2: And then you you'll be the determiner because it's your

722
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 2: turn to be heard here at what should be a

723
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: Newfound radio station seven ten wor at eight hundred three

724
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. That's eight hundred three two

725
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten Street Smart Straight Talk.

726
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: Curtis leewa guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten war.

727
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: So I see Vladimir Zelenski never seems to be in

728
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: the Ukraine any longer, either in Europe or other parts.

729
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 2: Nina negotiated piece now his ideas to have a DMC.

730
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: I think it's a good idea. He's going to be

731
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 2: down in Mari Lago with President Donald Trump and probably

732
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 2: Trump's team trying to dot the eyes and cross the

733
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: tea on his peace plan. He'll be in mari Lago

734
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 2: on Sunday. But the interesting thing is about Manage Chatouage

735
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 2: as I call her, and no doubt one of your

736
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: favorites is he Nicki Minaje sort of while triggering the

737
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 2: President to fire off those Tomahawk missiles into deep into Nigeria.

738
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 2: The training camps for Isis and Boca Haram for burning

739
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 2: down Christian churches and kidnapping and killing sometimes the women,

740
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: the young women. We'll deal with that. But now let's

741
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 2: deal with what I had talked about Ben Shapiro, who clearly,

742
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 2: with his appearance at turning Point, decided to drop verbal

743
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: napalm on Candic and Carlson, Megan Kelly and those who

744
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: would differ from him politically in terms of his conservative event.

745
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: He is pro Zelenski. I know he interviewed Zelensky on

746
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: his podcast pro BB pro Israel. A Orthodox Jew and

747
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: he is a practitioner. He is a true believer, and

748
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: he's taken on many on the right who clearly do

749
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 2: not support Zelensky or the Ukraine, or support BB in

750
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 2: Israel and have been labeled anti Semites in many respects

751
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: for doing that. It's Candice Owen, Tucker Carlson, let's talk

752
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 2: about Ben Shapiro. First. I first met Ben Shapiro over

753
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 2: at AM ninety seventy the answer when I was doing

754
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: mornings in Hasberg Heights, New Jersey, a placebo city that

755
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 2: I never saw anybody come in and out of their

756
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 2: house and where I had to walk up the hill

757
00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: after doing morning drive and go to the boulevard. That's right,

758
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 2: it's not even aname to it is he You're from Jersey.

759
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: The boulevard in order to catch the New Jersey Transit

760
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,959
Speaker 2: bus back to the Port Authority and then walk over

761
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: to the Pennsylvania Hotel to do afternoon drive there. What

762
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 2: was so interesting is that Benjapiro was there and he

763
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 2: was doing a simulcast with the station, the Salem Radio station.

764
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 2: He was like, I think, co hosting at that time

765
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: in LA and management there said hey, he's got to

766
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: get to New York City. Will you take him back

767
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: to New York City. Certainly we had a great conversation.

768
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 2: We went to downtown Newark, took the Path train from

769
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: Newark Tense station, and he said, Hey, Curtis, I'm just

770
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 2: going in the men's room and I saw man guys

771
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: iph indicating him. Man. I mean, it was like Christmas

772
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: come early for them. He was like a walking atm

773
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: They were going to rob him, no doubt about it.

774
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: And I could feel it right in the marrow of

775
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 2: my bones. So I walk into the men's room and

776
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: I say, Yo, you see that guy there. Don't even

777
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 2: think about it. Oh, no, Curtis, and don't even think

778
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: about it that I had a great conversation on the

779
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: Path training into the city. He was going to visit

780
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 2: some friends and he talked to me about his philosophy,

781
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: and at that time he would ghost write books for

782
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 2: some well known people. I won't reveal to you who

783
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: they are, who claim they write their own books. And

784
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: he said, yeah. It was a way to accumulate resource

785
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 2: because one day he wanted to have his own vehicle,

786
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 2: which became the Daily Wire. So apparently he got paid.

787
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 2: Quite why, I said, what don't you, Ben, don't you

788
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: object to the fact that others are taking credit for

789
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 2: what you wrote? He goes, the money's good and it'll

790
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: help me achieve my mission, which clearly a dick. So

791
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 2: that's Ben Shapiro. Now Turk Carlson, on the other hand,

792
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: I remember meeting. It was I think two thousand and five,

793
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. He was over. He was over

794
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 2: at MSNBC. Yeah, he was a liberal back then. He

795
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: was a moderating water bow Tie had the show at night,

796
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: nine pm, and he was going on vacation with his

797
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: family and he and the producer of this said, Curtis,

798
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: could you substitute for me for the week? Now, this

799
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 2: is before MSNBC what you know now to the far left.

800
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: But it was pretty pretty liberal, pretty progressive. I think

801
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 2: it was called Tucker on MSNBC. I said, sure, no problem,

802
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: So I came over and I did the guest hosting.

803
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: Day number one went well. Day number two I was

804
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 2: interviewing Rachel Meadow was not yet on MSNBC. She was

805
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 2: part of Air America at that time, which was the

806
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 2: liberal progressive way of trying to have talk radio outlet

807
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 2: across the nation that had basically liberal progressive values. A

808
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: nice try just say. Didn't entertain enough, and they didn't

809
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: have enough advertising because it was so busy bashing people

810
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: who might have advertised that her show she was on.

811
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 2: It was called Unfiltered. I remember listening to it. You

812
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: couldn't listen to it. It was Rachel Maddow obviously not

813
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 2: doing show prep, and Chuck d of Public Enemy, Oh

814
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: my god, he didn't know show prep. You see, if

815
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna do good talk radio, for every hour you're

816
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: on the air, you have to do two hours of

817
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 2: show prep. Two hours you cheat on the audience. It's

818
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 2: gonna be obvious. And so that wasn't very good talk radio.

819
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 2: Now they had out Frank and I remember I've seen

820
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: him on the Upper West Side outside of Fairways on Broadway. Recently,

821
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 2: Randy Rhoades, Ronnie Reagan, Yeah, son of Ronald Reagan. It

822
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: was Jerry Springer. He was on there wild remember Randy Roads,

823
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: who's the other person. RFK Junior was on there. This

824
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 2: is before the big Maha movement. But anyway, talker was

825
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: very liberal, a moderate, and then he went from MSNBC

826
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: to CNN moderate. Then he went to Fox News Channel

827
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 2: replaced O'Reilly. Now he's more conservative, more of a libertarian

828
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: now that he does his own podcast. He has been

829
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 2: labeled the anti Semite of the year because he questions

830
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 2: our relationship with Israel. He seems very friendly to the

831
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 2: Gulf regions, especially Qatar, and so now he's been labeled

832
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: the anti Semite of the year. Now the question is,

833
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: are these true idea logues or as I've told you

834
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 2: for years if you followed me, many of them are

835
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 2: actors and actresses, their teesmians. They could easily win an

836
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 2: Academy Award winning performance if you pay him enough. They'll

837
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 2: say what you want. But some of you get all

838
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 2: in a tizzy and a ladder. Oh my god, what

839
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: did they say? Trust me? It's all for clicks for

840
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: many of them. For many of them, they are true believers.

841
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 2: But for some of them, they could just as easily

842
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 2: take one position or another if the price was right,

843
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 2: you know, like Eric Adams the price was right. I

844
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: think it was like twenty mil for him to drop

845
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 2: out of the race to run for me. I think

846
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you listen to the Grapevine anyway, I numbers.

847
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 2: This is the time for all of you to be

848
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 2: hurt at what should be your newfound station that you're

849
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: listening to seven to ten w orwhen I was up

852
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 2: operation Hush Hush Mush much to find out why Republican

853
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 2: leadership has thrown at least to phonic under the bus.

854
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 2: Oh I did that at the Copper Crow on Broadway.

855
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 2: Am I gonna be shared that with you? You don't

856
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: want to go anywhere, but your time, your time to

Speaker 7: you in nineteen eighty four for the first time. And uh,

886
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 7: whenever I think of the gladiator door at the College

887
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 7: seat and how few gladiators have walked through that door,

888
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 7: You're a gladiator in my book. Many people get to

889
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 7: be in the arena, but fewer gladiators, and I commend

890
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 7: you for that. I think you're an incredible New Yorker

891
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,240

892
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,960

894
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 2: you what, Ellen, Slowly I turned, step by step. Nineteen

895
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 2: eighty four. That was the year the subway gunman Bernard

896
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 2: gets remember that was right before Christmas, in which while

897
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 2: writing downtown on the Number two train to join his

898
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 2: nerdy wonky friends talking about the recent edition of Popular Mechanics,

899
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: he ended up shooting. Let me see if I can

900
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 2: remember Barry Allen, Troy Knty, James Ramsoor and Daryl Kaby

901
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 2: writing two books about that They've written two books about

902
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 2: that that are coming out, and now they all want

903
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 2: my opinion. Since I was there side by side knowing

904
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 2: what all the intricate details I see. That's why you

905
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 2: got to listen. Because whether it happened before, or whether

906
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: it's happening now, or there are rumors about the future

907
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 2: with I'll share with you towards the end of this

908

00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 2: love being a gladiator. The question is who's better as

00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 3: Hey is Bob Hey? I want to let you know

919
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 3: you're totally wrong about your snowfall. Statements of the earlier

920
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 3: part of the show, the snowy swiners we've had in

921
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: New York of occur since two thousand and if you

922
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 3: recall in twenty fifteen, we had sixty consecutive days of

923
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 3: one is a more snow on the ground in Central Park,

924
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 3: which was a record. So you're saying that way back

925
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 3: when those mountains of snow with the snowy swinters, You're

926
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 3: actually absolutely wrong. Oh hoasly checked Central Park records.

927
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: Hold on, shake Bob, you know what records I check?

928
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 2: How many times you had to put on my goloshes

929
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 2: in order to get out there and go to the snow.

930
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: So you're telling me that what we're hearing all this

931
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 2: fear of fright in hysteria about this snow fall might

932
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 2: be four, six, eight inches or more, that it's comparable

933
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,479
Speaker 2: to what was happening when I.

934
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 3: Curtis just checked the Central Park weather records.

935
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: When I want to check Central Park weather records, how

936
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: about my glotchis how about how many times I was

937
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 2: out there? You were going to compare this to when

938
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 2: you were growing up nineteen ninety six, Rudy Giuliani eleven snowstorms,

939
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 2: twenty inches of snow in the city, thirty in Staten Island. Really,

940
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 2: I say, the reason when I'm having these kinds of

941
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 2: snowfalls any longer. See, this is what bugs people because

942
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: I believe in global warming and climate change. Oh my god,

943
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: how could you say that? Well, because I believe it's true.

944
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure many of you think it's fake. Well guess what,

945
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: it's not fake. That's good to Jackie is calling from Pennsylvania.

946
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Your turn to be heard? He at what should be

947
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 2: your newfound station seven ten war.

948
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 8: Oh yes it is, Curtis High. I am born and

949
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 8: raised in the You could take the kid out of

950
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 8: the Bronx, but you can't take the Bronx out of

951
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 8: the kids.

952
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 4: Now.

953
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 8: I'm a big, big fan of yours, Curtis. Were you

954
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 8: aware that Greg Kelly during the Democrat Democratic Primary was

955
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 8: asking people to vote for Mendanni because he hated Cuomo?

956
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 8: Were you aware of that? And you know I called

957
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 8: him after the November election and I brought that up

958
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 8: to him and he was taken back. My husband is

959
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 8: a witness to this, and he goes, well, I have

960
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 8: a right to change my mind, and I'm like, what

961
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 8: a phony?

962
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 2: Curtis again, Oh yes, And he said it over and

963
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 2: over again during the Democratic primary. Greg Kelly, who never

964
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 2: does show prep, who knows nothing, about politics, and in fact,

965
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,919
Speaker 2: he'll tell that to his audience. He goes, I really

966
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 2: don't know anything about politician, and then for the next

967
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 2: three hours he'll tell you everything he doesn't know. But

968
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 2: you're right. All during the Democratic primary he was encouraging

969
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: the listeners, which is his right to vote for Zorhanmandami

970
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 2: and not for Angewl Cmo. He called Andrew Cormo the

971
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Prince of darkness constantly and rightfully so talked about the

972
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand elderly who died as a result of his

973
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 2: executive orders during the lockdown and pandemic. And then, boy,

974
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 2: you talk about a pivot in shift. All of a sudden,

975
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 2: he was a Cuomo sexual. He couldn't get enough of

976
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Angewel Crmo, and there's a reason for that. Again, don't

977
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 2: take these people seriously, Jackie. They are like actors and actresses.

978
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: If they're given their script, their lines, they're talking points,

979
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 2: they can because this is what they believe and understand

980
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 2: this to all listeners, whether it's talksho hosts, hostesses, whether

981
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: it's politicians, Democrats or Republicans, they believe that you're all sheep,

982
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 2: that you're stupid. I've been in many conversations where I've

983
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 2: defended people because I trust people. I don't trust politicians.

984
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 2: I don't trust talk show hosts. I just don't because

985
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 2: I've known them. And what they'll do is they'll say, oh,

986
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 2: you don't trust uh, don't trust them. They won't remember

987
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 2: what you said five seconds ago, five minutes ago, five

988
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 2: weeks ago, five days ago, five months ago. They need

989
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 2: sheeap burdise like us. And Greg Kelly is a perfect example.

990
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: Come on, he never listened to talk radio going up.

991
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 2: You knew that h Garden City, Long Island, tough guy

992
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 2: out there right protected by his daddy. Was a great guy.

993
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 2: Ray Kelly longest serving police commissioner, but not a talk

994
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 2: radio guy. Maybe talk TV, talk radio. No, he just

995
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 2: he runs out of gas and he doesn't want you

996
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 2: to remember what he was saying during the Democratic primary.

997
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 2: And as much as I hate, I loathe, I despise

998
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 2: Andrew evilized Cuomo. Hey, Andrew, I send them you prove

999
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 2: your us fat chiem and you are what happened to him.

1000
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 2: He's hanging out there in the Hamptons, slid back under

1001
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 2: the rock, you know, dystopian as he is hanging out

1002
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 2: with his billionaire millionaire friends. And this guy Greg Kelly

1003
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: was actually telling everyone to vote for Johan Mandami. Hey,

1004
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 2: by the way, you know who else was telling him

1005
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 2: during the Democratic primary that he chose not to run

1006
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 2: in Eric Adams Swagerman with no plan. Yeah, him and

1007
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 2: his Jewish advisor in city hall, manage and the rest

1008
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 2: were telling members of the Orthodox and Ha city community, Hey,

1009
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 2: a vote for Zoran Mandami in the Democratic primary is

1010
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: a vote so that Eric Adams can get back into

1011
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 2: the race and it'll knockout Andrew cormol. Right. They're fake, phony,

1012
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: fraud lymph the keysies. And the reason that a lot

1013
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 2: of people don't want my voice to be heard is

1014
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 2: I know where all their bones are buried, and who

1015
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:03,919
Speaker 2: buried them, and who was that Gavon who had called

1016
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 2: before they would say, oh no, you know, the snowfall

1017
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 2: is the same as get that out of here. I'm

1018
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 2: having flashbacks right now. I went to a Catholic school

1019
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 2: for a while. Saint Matthew's Irish actually Josephite nuns. Irish

1020
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 2: nuns told me that I had to repeat that Saint

1021
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 2: Brendan the navigator discovering the New world that was on

1022
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 2: Eastern parkla Utica Avenue, and because they all lived in

1023
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 2: the convent, you had to get to school. They don't

1024
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 2: have that any longer. By the way, the cardinal is gone,

1025
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 2: dole it ooh fo, thank god, did not like that

1026
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 2: guy closed all these Catholic schools. And by the way,

1027
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: how much the parishian is having to pay for all

1028
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: these sexual assault charges by priests against kids. I mean, god,

1029
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 2: he didn't deal with it. Maybe the new guy will

1030
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 2: this place to be seven to ten wor don't go anywhere,

1031
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 2: because I'm going to tell you what I learned up

1032
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 2: in Albany. How Republican leaders are now siding with who

1033
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 2: they call moderate Democrats to beat socialists. Oh yeah, right

1034
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 2: across the board, right across the board. The destruction of

1035
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 2: the Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln as we know it.

1036
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 2: The Berets back.

Speaker 2: Woo oh, I am back from Capitol Land the Copper Crow,

1040
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 2: where I learned so much about how Republican leadership is

1041
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 2: trying to destroy the Republican Party in New York State

1042
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 2: and New York City for the benefit of what they

1043
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 2: call moderate Democrats to fight against socialist Democrats. Now you

1044
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,840
