• 0:09
  Speaker 1: tenor oh god, it's crucinating music hit you know, since
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this is my final hour substitution for Mark Simon. By
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the way, smooth operator, Mark Simone, based on what I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: last said as we went out on the top of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the hour, when you go and talk radio from doing
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: talk TV to talk radio, you're always a disaster. But
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: if you go from talk radio to do TV, your success.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Look at Mark Simone. He made the transition and the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: rock rabbed all American Conservative voice sub region from Franklin Square,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Long Island, Sean Hannity Radio first and TV. It's different.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It's totally different. And you don't hear many talk show hostesses.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Now if in this season of You, you must refer
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to me as I identify myself today, he is he?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So I could be a he she? They right, Let's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just say I felt like a woman today and I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was a female hostess talk show. Why would I want
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to sound like all the guys? Why would I want
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to sound like an echo chamber of all the guys
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: reading from the same talking points? You would need to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: break out a tribute to one of the greatest of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: all time, Lynn Samuels, Oh eclectic as she was WABC
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: WBAI also the producer and phone screener for Matt Drudge,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: another great talk show host who was driven out of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the business at WABC because he just wanted to do
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Sunday nights. Did a great job. Oh no, you gotta
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: do five days a week. Guess what he didn't want
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to do that They try to make him do it wrong.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: They lost a great talk show hosts ship. Who has
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: h it come a bit of an enigma of late,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But I don't even put that aside. Great talk to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: your hosts. And that's how Mark Levin got his break
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to be on five days a week because that was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be the five days for Matt Drudge. But Lynn
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Samuels was eclectic. Remember a theme song too, beg you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: didn't come in with that fat bottom girls by Queen
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I remember that. I mean she lived there off the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: number seven training I think was which side of Sunnyside
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: she'd come in. She'd be commenting on everything. She leaned left,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: but wasn't predictable. You see, that was the interesting thing
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: about listening to Lynn Samuels that you couldn't predict where
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: she would be on any issue. It made you wanna
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: listen every day and listen more and more as opposed
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to again, if I listened to a show, I look,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I know what they're all gonna say, right, you know
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna say. What they say today, they're gonna
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: say next week, the following week. So whatever's on the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: talking parts they watched our TV, they repeat what they
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on Fox News Channel mon on. But anyway, I had
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to do that tribute. I don't take for granted this
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: thing of ours. A lot of people have come before
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: all of us in order to pave the way for
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: talk radio, and our job should be with everything out
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: there that competes with talk radio now is to keep
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: this thing of ours alive. And I've been charged with
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that mission by my wife. So you gotta stay tuned
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and see what's gonna be happening. Also going to be
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: talking about how this Valentine's Day for the first time ever,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yes he is. He Guys and gals preferred to go
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to AI dating cafes and celebrate Valentine's Day with their
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: favorite their computer with artificial intelligence. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: even dominated that holiday. And of course we now must
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: talk about the man who beat me Farren Square to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: become mayor, and beat Eric Adams, who wasn't man enough
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to run in a Democratic primary or as an independent.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: He decided to take the money and run and drop out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And of course Andrew eviliesquormack zorn my Dami And you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's hard to paint him down on a lot of things,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but the hardest is what his theme song is now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I remember during the campaign he enjoyed singing waving through
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the window from dear Evan Hansen, you know that song. Izzy.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Of course you don't hey later for that. And then
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he said, oh to Donna, you know I listened to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez, you know, typical politician. He wanted to pay
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: props to everybody for me. It was straight up chain smokers.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Don't let me down because a lot of people did.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: They didn't vote for me. And then bunt a German
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: edm band And today is the greatest day in my life.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It is every day that I wake up. It should
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be for all of you, even though it's facing You
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: could be a curmudgeon, it could be great clouds over
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: your head. Everything is not going right. Just to be alive.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I have so much to be grateful for, so much
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: as you know, any of you who know my history,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, all you gotta do is go
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: on all the social networking at Facebook and Instagram, at Twitter,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: x your TikTok. I love that every time I hear
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Andrew Evilize cools your run one because the TikTok. No,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: he didn't you jerk, It's because he out hustled you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But anyway, when it comes to musical selection, he's like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a typical politician. He wants to satisfy everybody. Later on,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Kurt Cobaine's death. You know, the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: age of grunge rock now, how they're reinvestigating that. They
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: never thought it was suicide. Never did think Fortney Love.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Oh well, hold on, you don't want to go anywhere.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Think puddle of mud? Huh puddle? Did you ever listen
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to puddle of mud? My wife actually introduced that to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: me just the other day. Great ben never had heard
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of them. You see, every day you learn things. Your
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: curiosity should be there. Lincoln Park, the suicide at Chester Bennington,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: he was absolutely spectacular. Three Doors down the death of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Brad Arnold from cancer, kidney cancer at forty seven. That's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: why today is the best day of your life. Look
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: how many of them are no longer with us, with
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: all the fame, with all the fortune, with everything breaking
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: their way, and things happen in life. Let's be happy
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you're alive. I know for some of you you said
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'd rather be dead. Well for some of you, that's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: because zarn Mandami is the mayor of the City of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: New York. What is he yet? Like forty six forty
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: seven days since he was sworn in. There's a number
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: one problem with Zoramandami because nobody knows the streets and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the subways better than me. Collectively. You could have put
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Eric Adams Andrew Cormo's Armandami up on any stage, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: if we did New York City Jeopardy, you know who
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: would have won that game? That would have been me overwhelming.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: They don't really know the city. Joran is on a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: learning curve. He got hit with this super spectacular cold
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: snap where the snow turned into ice. It's been three
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: weeks and the snow and the ice is still out there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: How do we know because it's turned yellow because all
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the canines in the world have decided to mark their
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: spots on the snow and the ice that still exists.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But what I want to talk about, specifically with Zarahmandami
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is the horror of what I've experienced, and that is
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the homeless and the emotionally disturbed who in many instances
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: were not cared for in this Code blue situation where
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they should have been involuntarily hospitalized, taken off the streets,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: brought to a hospital, or brought to a shelter. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, nobody knows more about the shelters than me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I've been in about two thirds in them, especially imagine
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: dizzy is is he? There are shelters that are called
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: MICA shelters for the mentally ill and chemically addicted. Now,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: if you're mentally ill, you think a shelter is the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: place you should be, or maybe a mental health care hospital.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Hunt because that's like one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: That's Darwinian. It's survival of the fittest. If you've ever
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: been in the shelters, the worst for the single males,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the single females. Family run shelters generally much better run
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and there are a few shelters where you're allowed to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: bring your pet in. That's good, But the vast majority
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of them, it's chaos. So when I deal with homeless
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: people and emotionally disturb people who I've known fear and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: by the way, they didn't just all emerge now because
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of this cold and ice snap and the Arctic weather.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They've been out there all along. Doblasio did nothing about him.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It was heightened during the lockdown and pandemic. Eric Adams
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: did nothing about the enemy. You spent seven billion dollars
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of all money on migrants, people we didn't even know.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Put them in hotels, right, three squares a day. Write
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: your ticket for the homeless and emotionally disturbed, who are
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: for the most part are Americans, fellow Americans, and yes, Dizzy,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the predominant number of them are African Americans. So you
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: would have thought somebody like Eric Adams would have said, hey,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you got to take care of my brothers. Insists not I. Also,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: all these elected officials, they are all into hey, you know, equity, equity, Well,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: how come you don't take how come you don't take
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: care of the predominantly black population of homeless and emotionally disturbed,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: many of whom I know on a first name basis.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It is bad out there. Ron Stubborn just refused to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: remove them involuntarily, which was the right thing to do,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the right thing to do. You were saying, well, they
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: got drop in centers, they finally put out warming buses.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't understand the nature of the population. A
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: lot of them are wanderers. They don't want to go
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to shelter. They certainly don't want to go to a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: mental health care hospital. That's why they have to be
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: involuntarily committed. People who were deemed to be a danger
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to themselves and everyone else. So I was out there
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: with the Guardian Angels still am every day, every night,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and giving them badly needed supplies. You know those sort
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of like aluminum foil blankets that you get when you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: finish the New York City Marathon, giving that to them
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to sort of water off the cold protein bars. Water.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: They need water because they dehydrate, and when they dehydrate,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if they have any kind of psychosis or their bipolar disorder,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: or if they're off their medication, whatever it is that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: is mentally ailing them has just enhanced all that more gloves,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: socks hats, sock hats we distribute them and the handwarmers
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: very important. Now we're just a volunteer organization. You can
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: see what we do. You just go to Guardian Angels.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You can see all the social networking what we've done.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: When it got most extreme, I would say about seven
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: days ago, I now began to run into homeless people
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: who were without shoes, both in the streets, the parks,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in the subways and sub zero freezing weather. I thought, well,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: maybe one person, quite a few of them, and I'd
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: have a conversation with them, because I know quite a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: few of them by first name. They've been They've been
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: out in the streets and the subways for years. Nobody's
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: done anything for them. Hey, Charlie, what happened into your shoes? Well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you know Curtis here on the subway. I kept the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: shoes close to me and the stugs came up to me.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Are the homeless people, and they stole my shoes. Hmm,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: stole your shoes sounds like jail. Sounds like what goes
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: on in the shelter Darwinian Survival of the Fitters. Another guy,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he was missing half a foot. It was exposed that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: came from diabetes many years ago. They had to remove
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: half his foot. He had a special shoe made, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: then for his other foot, the regular shoe. They stole
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: both those shoes and I posted all of this, and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: then they did it to a woman too. It was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: survival of the fittish Darwinian. The mayor his staff had
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: no idea what was going on. Part of the problem
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: was he inherited a lot of Eric Adams holdovers who
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: did nothing but sabotage his efforts. I mean, that's been
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Eric adams whole goal, sabotage the incoming mayor in terms
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of his learning curve. But he's not a street guy.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: He's not a subway guy, and that was obvious. So
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: we will continue to help those who cannot help themselves,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the forgotten people of New York City. Remember, the mass
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: majority of them are American citizens. The mass majority of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: them are African Americans, and many of them are women.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And they live in the subways, they live in the parks,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and they live in the streets. That's their home. And
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it's been that way with the Blasio Eric Adams and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: now at the start of Zaran Mandami's run, as Mayor.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I love this so well. You
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: know the buses in the Free York Zoe run said
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the buses would be free. Hey, idiots, any of you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: who are gone to line up for a bus like
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I did the other day at the junction So I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: was going down to the El Caribe, so I had
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to take the Flatbush Avenue bus. You know when No
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Straight Avenue meets flat Bush. First off, the lines go
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: forever as you get out of the number three train
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and nobody pays the fair nobody. They're all just bum
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: rush on the bus. And that's to a main street Flushing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I posted that busses back to bed Nobody pays Webster
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Avenue of the bux nobody pays Highland Boulevard and set
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: nobody pays. Nobody's paying the bus fare. They say that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: half the bus fares are paid. That's a lie. Just
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: ask the bus drivers, Hey, when's the last time anybody
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: paid the fare? And they have to stop and think
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: our numbers because it is your time to be heard
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: here at WABC one eight hundred three two one zero WR.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Me make sure I get that straight. One eight hundred
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten, because my goal is
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to save to our radio and get it back to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: it's an original form, which is taking callers, new callers,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: not the same old fuddy duddy callers that you hear
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: every day, and it's predictable what they're gonna say. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: love you, you love me. It's like an episode of
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Barney and make it stimulating again. It all started right here.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Wr Barry Gray nineteen forty five took a call from
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Woody Herman after playing stacks of wax of Woody Herman's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: great band Classics, and then the suit said you should
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: take calls from listeners. That's how this thing of art started.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And honor of Barry Gray, who began what we now
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: call talk radio, which for some has become many podcasts
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: because they never take callers. Never do one eight hundred
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven to ten. By the way,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: up next, Valentine's Day with AI has become increasingly more popular.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Why do it with someone you know when you can
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: do it with artificial intelligens who will stroke you to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the ends of time.
