Curtis lee 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Wall guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WOO. 3 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: This is the place that you should be all the 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: time to get your talk radio information, news, and most 5 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: importantly entertainment, because that's what talk radio should be. If 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: it's good talk radio. If it's not entertaining, wow, see 7 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: you later. And that's uh. Those are your options. Nowadays 8 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: you have so many options to be able to listen, 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,319 Speaker 2: to look at read, many many more than when we 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: were all growing up. I remember in the wee hours 11 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: of the morning, I would be listening to a little 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: Sony transistor radio underneath the pillow in my room in 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: Canarsi being raised by my father, Chester merchant symen close 14 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 2: to fifty years my mother Francesca, dental technician, and they 15 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: would sort of patrol the area. I wonder if I 16 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: was listening, remember the smell from that Sony transistor radio. 17 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: I'd be listening to Long John Neville and Candy Jones. 18 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: Oh hey had me believing that Candy Jones was a 19 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: CIA agent. And you could actually dig a hole all 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,639 Speaker 2: away from Bayone, New Jersey, the gateway to the world, 21 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: down to peeking red China there Malchi tongue. They actually 22 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: had you believe in that. That's great. Theodore of the Mind. 23 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: Now person I never listened to, but was a fixture 24 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: here of you off for years, Gene Shepherd. A lot 25 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: of people said over the years, Wow, got a lot 26 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: of Gene Shepherd in you. You could take sort of 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: a story and build a narrative around it and sort 28 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: of transition us almost in a time machine to a date, 29 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: place and time different than now. And once I listened 30 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: to a few of the old tapes, boy, that was 31 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: a real great compliment. And that was overnight radio. Good. 32 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: Overnight radio is theater of the mind. Lousy overnight radio 33 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: as if you try to do normal talk radio and 34 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: it falls flat. One of the things I remember talking 35 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: about when I did late night radio at the dysfunctional 36 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: station of WABC, which used to be always broadcasting Curtis. 37 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: Now it's always blaming and always bashing Curtis well Is. 38 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: Remember when Scooi Louis Farrakhon came on with it couple 39 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: take a couple of nightline. I was talking about the 40 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: mothership connection that was circling the world and how many 41 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: little jet planes would be emerged and what we clearly 42 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: understood and just listening to his Zya tribe. This guy, 43 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: that's why I call him School Louis Hurrican and yet 44 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: he's had his followers over the years and now even 45 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: though he has somehow survived till ninety two, and you 46 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: don't want to miss it, I'm gonna tell you a 47 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: story where the Grim Reaper could have took him away 48 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: and should have in a much earlier time, because, believe 49 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: it or not, even at the age of ninety two, 50 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: the bile, the anti Semitism continues to pour from his lips. 51 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: You know, he's the old school anti Semite. The new Jack, 52 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: I guess is Nazi boy. I think he fontes right, 53 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: that's the new Jack. But old school O g right, O. 54 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: GI Fairy can't. But it's now a litmus tests And 55 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: I truly believe if you did a survey in the 56 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: African American community of the most respected black African American 57 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: figure in America today, first, without a doubt, at Barack 58 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: Obama talk about being a smooth operator, like the Shade 59 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: song smooth. In fact, if I think if he ran 60 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: against Donald Trump, he'd beat Donald Trump nationally, that's how 61 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: much love there is for Barack Obama. I mean he 62 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: was good. 63 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 3: Uh. 64 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: You know who would come out number two? No, not 65 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: not out slim shady, sharpman, No, it would be Lewis Farakhun. Yes, 66 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: the legacy of hate continues. It's almost like a litmus test. 67 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: I know for a lot of you, you don't follow 68 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: the world of rap, but I certainly have. And you 69 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: look on the Instagram pages of some of the big 70 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: time rappers. Some of them have gone mainstream, some of 71 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: them who are doing cartoons, some of them who are 72 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: promoting Fortune five hundred products. Some of them who have 73 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: escaped going to jail themselves, like Snoop Doggie Dog who 74 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: did a drive by shooting in Los Angeles and a 75 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: jury all of a sudden said, uh, seeming to suffer 76 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: a little dementia, a little Alzheimer's. See, I can't quite 77 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 2: connect the dots. Well. He has gone on to become 78 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: a superstar in Hollywood, even though he does puff puff 79 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: pass all the time. I mean he's in a let's 80 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 2: face it a drug induce psychosis. This guy love Farra 81 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: can still does right Instagram. There's Snoop Dogg with Farakhn 82 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: llll cool Jay Right mainstream artist TV shows there he 83 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: is the Fhara Khannas. She broke my heart when I 84 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: saw Chaka Khan, Chaka Chaka Chakka Cohn performing for Scooy 85 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: Louis Farakhan. Oh, you go right on down the line. 86 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar was it ice Qbiced, t Ice, trave and 87 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: l ice. One of the ice is there. They're all 88 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: fat Joe. It's almost like an insistence. And when you 89 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: go to the Instagram site, you got to be a 90 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: picture somewhere of the most virulent anti Semite that is 91 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 2: approaching one hundred years old. Soon they'll probably live to 92 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: them because of all the hate and the bile that 93 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 2: he has. Ninety two still kicking it. Oh, you know, 94 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 2: want to miss the story of how the grim Reaper 95 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: could have taken him away, but unfortunately he survived for 96 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: another hateful day. Well, now the Anti Defamation League, they're 97 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: vetting out people who have been appointed to incoming mayors. 98 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: Are on Mondamini's transitional team. One of them is a 99 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: lawyer who has a history of praising and associating with 100 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: Friar Kine, and the question is should that exclude him 101 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: from consideration. I don't fault the ADL for vetting these appointees. 102 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: That's what transparency is, that's what should be taking place, 103 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: especially when we just went through the anniversary of the 104 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: Dreyfus affair. We're the French captain now, for Dreyfus was 105 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: wrongfully convicted of passing military secrets to the Germans, sentence 106 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and it turned out 107 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: it was the result of severe anti Semitism. Oh yeah, 108 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: oh yeah, and the term is Jacque's. In fact, I 109 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: think that pedophile on a pedestal. Roman Polanski did a 110 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: movie about this. I think so after he escaped to Paris. 111 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: In fact, little brief side the bar here, I was 112 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: named the Grand Marshal of the annual Pulaski Day parade 113 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 2: for Polish Americans. Fifth Avenue. You go to the mass 114 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: first at Tank Patrick's Cathedral. I'm coming out with the 115 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: tucks and tails and I red beret and a tourist 116 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: bus pulls up from San Diego, where I've had guardian 117 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: angels down in Balboa Park, the gas Light district over 118 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: in southeast San Diego, some relatively tough areas. People get 119 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: off to the bus they're gonna go on to Saint 120 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: Patrick's Cathedral. They recognize me, they come running up, Curtis, 121 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: I didn't know that Polish Americans have a parade to 122 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: honor Roman Polanski. No, it's Pulaski. General Pulaski well not 123 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: only went into the Deep South and fought regular British 124 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: troops in the American Revolution, but they actually have this 125 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: huge tomb in statue to him in Savannah, Georgia. You 126 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: go throughout the South where I've been Arkansas, you go 127 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: to Georgia, you go to Tennessee, they have Pulaski County. 128 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: They don't even teach the kids in the schools why 129 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: the county was named after Pulaski. In fact, they unearthed 130 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: his tomb recently because they said he was a harmaphrodite. 131 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: You know what that is is he look it up? 132 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: Look it up, go google it. Why would you take 133 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: the guy's body out? He was one of the reasons 134 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: we won the American Revolution. As we approach our two 135 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty anniversary this coming year, onearthed his body 136 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: try to determine if he was a harmaphrodite. Uh. And 137 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: then of course it was kaysjewsco not Casiasco, General Kyjewsko, 138 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: who helped George Washington and convinced him the West Point 139 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: should become the college for not just the United States military, 140 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: but for engineering, against the will of Thomas Jefferson, the 141 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: fellow Virginian of George Washington, who wanted that to be VMI. Yep, 142 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: cause jewsto they don't teach you that in school. But anyway, 143 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: I mean, there were as people were thinking getting off 144 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 2: of that tour bus from San Diego, that that parade, 145 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: the annual Pulaski Day parade, was not in honor of 146 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: General Pulaski and in honor of Roman Polanski. So the 147 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: Dreyfish affair, which was based on the Protocols of the 148 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: Elders of Zion, which was circulated by the Czar of 149 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: Russia and fed anti Semitism, which has been a problem 150 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: for so many decades and has reared its ugly head 151 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: up again as it always does. But the one fixture 152 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: of anti Semitism that has been around forever and ever 153 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: is screwy Louis Farak, and so coming up, got to 154 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: discuss a little bit about Eric Adams Swagerman with no plan, 155 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: who's been traveling around the world at taxpayer's expense. What 156 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: was he in Israel? Uzbekistan? He probably can't even find 157 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: Uzbekistan on a map. Then recently in Mexico. And we're 158 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: paying for all this stuff, right, we're paying for this. 159 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: This guy was hopelessly corrupt. Should have been actually put 160 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: in jail, put on trial for corruption. I know all 161 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: about it. And you remember, you remember is the piece 162 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 2: in the monopoly game that we all hoped that we 163 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 2: would get under the Christmas tree as a president from 164 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: Santy Claus, remember missed the monopoly in his tuxedo as 165 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: he flies out of an open bird cage. That was 166 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: the corrupt Eric Adams at that annual Alsmith didn't remember 167 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: which Trump suggested openly for the first time that he 168 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: was a victim of law fare, the over extending reach 169 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's Department of Justice, instead of not realizing 170 00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: as anybody else would, that he got wooted out a 171 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: prison cell which he would have shared with gold bars 172 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: Bobby Menendez the center of New Jersey in his striped 173 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: convict uniform instead, and now he's acting like he did 174 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: nothing wrong. It's interesting. Three key figures on the political scene. 175 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: Eric Adams with Discraciada never did anything wrong, andrewis Eliscomo 176 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: never did anything wrong. Donald Trump never did anything well, 177 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: they never did anything wrong. They're the perfect people. Everything 178 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: was perfect, perfect, except that's not the case. And I 179 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: was amazed that last week. I guess he took a 180 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 2: pit stop here, you know, and being mayor, he decided 181 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: to bury a time capsule to be dug up in 182 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: ten years, as if anything that went on in his 183 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: corrupt and chaotic administration which led to the election of 184 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: Zorhan Mandami should be put in a capsule and buried 185 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: and then brought up in ten years for everybody to 186 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: take a look at. And I would say the first 187 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: thing was probably a wad of cash in a red 188 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: envelope stuffed inside of an open bag of hers sour 189 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: cream and onion ripple potato chips that his very dear 190 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: grifter and bag lady. Oh my god, Oh she was 191 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: so bad, this woman in attempting to bribe Katie honan 192 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: of the city. Oh man, it's like he's trying to 193 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: reinvent history. But his love affair with Fhara Khan goes 194 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: back quite a bit. In fact, in the nineties he 195 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: decided that he would run for Congress against Major Owens 196 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: because Major Owens, along with David Dinkins and Maya said 197 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: no and should not speak in New York. And at 198 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: that time Eric Adams took money from the Nation of Islam, 199 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: had Nation of Islam members collecting signatures to qualify him 200 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: to run, and was endorsed by Skooy Louis Fara Khan 201 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: and used to hang out with his very dear friend 202 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: Conrad Muhammad at the Nation of Islam mosque in Harlem. Now, 203 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: people didn't want to talk about that in the election 204 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty one. They basically took the etcher sketch out. 205 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: And have you ever asked Eric Adams about Scooy Louis Farakh. 206 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: He would sidestep that issue. Look, he's not an anti Semite, 207 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: Eric Adams, There's no doubt about it. But he did 208 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: have a major love affair with Scooy Louis Farakh. That's 209 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: well noted. But people didn't want to talk about it then. 210 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: So the question is any kind of relationship that you 211 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: had or you have with Skooy Louis Farrick Canada, Nation 212 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: of Islam, should that immediately disqualify you from having anything 213 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: to do with the government. The boy. A lot of 214 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: people in government will now have to recuse themselves and 215 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: may have to look for a different occupation. Our numbers 216 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: one eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten. 217 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. 218 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: On this your place to be from now on sevent 219 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: ten WR, The Pulse. 220 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: Of New York On the Voice of New York, Curtis 221 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: Sleiewald Guess hosts for Marx them on sevent ten WR. 222 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: I have a suggestion for the outgoing Eric Adams Swagerman 223 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: with no plan got wine dying the pocket line, so 224 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: that Bob Barker remember the price is right. He got 225 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: his price and then he dropped out of the mayoral 226 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: race in September, and he's been moaning and groaning ever 227 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: since and traveling around the world at taxpayer's expense. Apparently 228 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: he's meeting with Kathy Hockel today. Maybe Kathy Hochel can 229 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: do for him what was done for the one hundredth 230 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: mayor of New York City a long time ago. I 231 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: think it was actually in nineteen fifty for William O'Dwyer. 232 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: He was the one hundredth Mayor of New York City corrupt. 233 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: When he had been Brooklyn DA from nineteen forty to 234 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: nineteen forty five, he was in the back pocket a 235 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: Murder Incorporated, the Jewish mob run by lepk and the 236 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: Italian faction of Albert Anastasia and quick Kid twist Rellis, 237 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: who was a hit man if you looked at his 238 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: LinkedIn page at the time, wht's what is your rocket patient? 239 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: Hitman for Murder Incorporated, which was out of Brownsville, and 240 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: he decided to be a rat eat the parmesan chief. 241 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: So they were housing him at the Half Moon Hotel 242 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: in Coney Island, sixth floor six detectives from William Old 243 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: Dwyer's DA's office in Brooklyn, and suddenly Albert Twistdrellers proved 244 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 2: that men could not fly because somehow he fell or 245 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: was pushed out of that sixth floor window. He had 246 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: already testified against six members of Murder Incorporated, all of 247 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: whom got the juice in their caboose in sing sing 248 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 2: old sparky Jews and Italians, and then the last one 249 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: he was going to testify against was Albert Anastasia. Well, 250 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 2: he never made it to the witness stand, and so 251 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: this all came back to haunt William Oldwyer as mayor. 252 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: They were going to indict him, convict him, when all 253 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: of a sudden the phone rang from the White House. 254 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: Was President Truman at that time. He said, you know, 255 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: we're desperately in need of a US ambassador to Mexico, desperate, 256 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: and I want you to leave being mayor. We're gonna 257 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: give you a ticket tape parade to the Kenyon of Heroes. Yeah, 258 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,239 Speaker 2: ticker tape parade for this crook. And he went on 259 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 2: to become the ambassador to Mexico eventually to come back 260 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 2: and help put together the first Israel Day Parade, which 261 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: there's a question as to whether Zorahanmandami will participate as 262 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: mayor we know that ain't happening, or if he would 263 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: cancel it. I don't think he'll do that, but that's 264 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 2: for another day. Maybe what should have been done when 265 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: Kathy Hokl had Eric Adams on the ropes, Remember she 266 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: could have fired him. A governor has the right to 267 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: fire a may an. O. It's never been done before close, 268 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 2: but they didn't quite do it, and she could have 269 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: fired him, but he held on basically did whatever she asked. Yes, ma'am, 270 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: Yes ma'am, Yes ma'am. Now you remember Tom Holman when 271 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 2: Eric Adams was singing sitting on that sofa there at 272 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: Fox and Friends in the morning, and Tom Holman is 273 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: talking to the crew there and he says, Eric Adams 274 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: on National TV, and if I come back here, Eric 275 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: and I find out the NYPD is not working with ICE, 276 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: I will put my boot up your butt. And Eric 277 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: Adams proud, righteous, your old Asiatic black man, right, didn't 278 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: even blink. I have seen that video over and over 279 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: every time I go into an African American community, they said, 280 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: could you believe what the brother did here? He didn't 281 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: even object to that. He didn't even turn to Tom 282 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 2: Holman and say, don't use that language towards me, because 283 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: he knew they had him by the short hairs. That 284 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 2: the only reason he got that get out of jail 285 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: pass was because he promised to cooperate with ICE, even 286 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: though the sanctuary city laws here in New York City, 287 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 2: which I opposed, say that you cannot. But he was 288 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: looking there and he will never ever overcome that in 289 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 2: the African American community because he had sold them Wolf tickets. 290 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 2: You know, at some point I got to discuss Atlantic 291 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 2: City now that we have the three casinos, including the 292 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: Resorts World that got one of them, Thessino there, remember 293 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: Yonkers at the track got it there. They decided they 294 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: didn't want to go for the full license. Three two 295 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: in Queens, one in the Bronx, and talk about how 296 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: that may be the last. Now in the coffin for 297 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: Atlantic City, which is a place that Eric Adams could 298 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 2: have easily been the mayor of since so many of 299 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: them have been indicted five since nineteen eighty one, including 300 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 2: the most recent one Marty Smalls Junior for voter fraud. 301 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: Hoh shocking.

Oh yeah, 392 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: oh wow, what a following he had, Old Bernie. But no, 393 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: ant is right. Best thing they ever happened in my 394 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: life was when I met Nancy. We got married, and boy, 395 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: she is an animal rescuer. Like so many of the 396 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 2: listeners here, a wr are throughout the Tri State area 397 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: and throughout the country, and without her, I could not 398 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: have survived many many ordeals.

You know, as Mahatma Gandhi said, is 402 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: society that takes care of its animals will take care 403 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: of its people. But a society that does not take 404 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 2: care of its animals will not take care of its people. 405 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we have in New York City. 406 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: As I began the show telling you about the year 407 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: anniversary of the horrible, horrific death of Dobrina Kawama at 408 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 2: the subway station in Coney Island on the F train 409 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 2: when she was set up into a human torch, and 410 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: how a year later they won't even say her name 411 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: because they don't even remember her name. Well, we did 412 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: that yesterday and I want to aploy wor Natalie in 413 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 2: the morning for introducing that in the news the New 414 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: York Posts for covering it, but many people out there 415 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: just have no idea what happened. Let's go to Sergio, 416 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 2: who's calling from New Jersey. Your turn to be heard 417 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 2: here at seven to ten WOA Sergio. 418 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 5: Hi, Curtis. I was wondering if you can elaborate on 419 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 5: Bob Grant one time. Apparently he took some tile expensive 420 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 5: towels on the studio and you had to go and 421 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: mediate for him to bring him back. 422 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 2: I'll let me correct you. The king of talk radio, 423 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: Bob Grant, who is my mentors the reason that I'm 424 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: in talk radio because when I was first on the 425 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: air at the old WABC, they didn't want to have 426 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: me on the air, and he said, you gotta have 427 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: Curtis on the air because he knows where all the 428 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: bones buried and who buried them. And he had the 429 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: force in the talk radio world at that time that 430 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: his wish basically became the command of the suits, the 431 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: big markers. But he was a kleptomaniac in many many ways, 432 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. I think you're conflating two separate stories. 433 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: But let me tell you the best one that I 434 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: was personally involved in. He was given a loaner Cadillac 435 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: back then, in order to promote somebody purchasing a new 436 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: car used car, they have a new fangled expression now 437 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: pre owned car. You know, for used cars. They would 438 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: give you a loaner car. And Bob Grant, I think 439 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: it was in Englewood, was promoting Cadillacs from Englewood. Everybody 440 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: back then they wanted to the El Dorado, they wanted 441 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 2: the Fleetwood, the Seville. He had a car and his 442 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 2: driver would take him back and forth to Manalapan on 443 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 2: The Jersey Show where he was living, and you have 444 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: to give it back after a certain point of time. 445 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: And the program director of the Joe Manelli, was intimidated 446 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: by Bob, as he could intimidate many, and Bob wouldn't 447 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: give the Cadillac back. So John Minelli said, he's your friend. 448 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: Go in there and tell them there are new rules 449 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: in the business. You can't schnore like a lot of 450 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: radio people did, both AM and FM four years schnore 451 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: free stuff. It's called pay for play, and we could 452 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: get in trouble. So I said, I got it, John. 453 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: I went in there. It took me maybe an hour 454 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: and a half to convince the King of talk radio 455 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: Bob Grant, responsible for my career, to give me the 456 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 2: keys and that we would get it back to the 457 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: Cadillac dealership before they would report that to the FCC 458 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: to be in violation of pay for play. But man, 459 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: it was not easy. It's Bob Grant back then, the 460 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: king of talk radio. Thought. I'm entitled to the treasures 461 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: like so many others. And if you listen to me 462 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: up until January second, as I substitute for or Mark Simone, 463 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: You're gonna hear a lot of other stories you had 464 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: no idea about that I want to share with you 465 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: about this thing of ours, talk radio, because this is 466 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: the business that we have chosen. 467 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Now more with New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis Leewah 468 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: guest hosting from Mark Simone on sevent ten. 469 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 2: Woo you know, yes it is. I was leaving the 470 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 2: studios here day number one of my substitution for Mark 471 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: Simon till January tewcond and oh, I got a lot 472 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: of other great stories to share with all of you, 473 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 2: and that's why you got to listen every day or 474 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: get it on the podcast. But I heard the voice 475 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: of Brett Winterble, who's substituting up next for the boys. 476 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 2: I said, that's Bretton Winterble, that's Boy Limbaugh. He used 477 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: to be the phone screener for the Great Rush Limbaugh. 478 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 2: We used to share facilities at the old WABC seventeen 479 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: to Flour High above Madison Square Garden. And Brett was great, 480 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: always wanted to be in talk radio. And he used 481 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 2: to live in Morris Park in the Bronx. Take the 482 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: two of the five chain up there, say really Bretton, Yeah, yeah, 483 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 2: live up here. Family up there, extended family. And he's 484 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: gone on to become a great talk show host in Charlotte, 485 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: where they had like two attacks on their light rail system. 486 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: Two not one the one you knew about the Ukrainian 487 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: immigrant woman, no no, no, no two another recent one. I 488 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: think it was an illegal alien. And he's urged me 489 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: to bring the Guardian Angels down to Charlotte, which I 490 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: think I'm gonna have to do it. All the Yankees 491 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: who were fleeing down there. Everybody from up north in 492 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: our area was moving down to that area. Unfortunately, the 493 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: crime is skyrocketing.
