  Speaker 2: of clubs. But anyway, the fact is, you come in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: with generic music. Ugh. And by the way, as the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: President of the United States announced that today is Donald
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Trump Day, yet I'm sure that's going to come up
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: within the course of his conversation, said, hey, why we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: call it President's Day? Why don't we just call it
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump Day? And all of his sick fans todies
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and like his brilliant idea, outstanding you the best, You're

  Speaker 2: better than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, keep feeding that humongous ego.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That needs a crane to get him in and out
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of the Oval office. See, and I gonna hear that
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: on talk radio. It's like an echo chamber. I love Trump. Oh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: it's sort of like it's like the Barney song. Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I hated Barney. I had to watch Barney with my
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: sons growing up. And it's just I'll get to that momentarily. Yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about President Stay, We're gonna talk about Epstein.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: One thing I do give for President Trump a lot
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of credit for is opening up those files. Although Pam
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Bondy was, eh, we do all on my desk.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: No they weren't. We'll get to that. Oh yeah, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: oh wait.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: A second, wait a second was starting to open up
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the investigation of what was said.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: To be the suicide.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Of one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna let you think about that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, twenty seven, twenty seven, twenty seven,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: all right, maybe you can connect the dots.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: We're gonna touch it all, Zoran man Dami.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The snow is still out there and it's turned yellow,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you know from what yellow snow and all the homeless
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and emotionature.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna cover it all.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But whenever I do talk radio and I come in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to studios like here at w AWAR, I think of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: all those people who are paved the way for so
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: many of us to just read talking points and get paid,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: because really that's what talk radio has become. I'm gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: get into that momentarily. But uh, the one thing I
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: noticed out of the super that I watched with my
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: wife Nancy, the only thing I really liked. Although I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: liked Bad Bunny, Yeah, I did like Bad Bunny saw
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: on first time when he did that duo with Drake
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and Puerto Rico.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Good stuff.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: The rest of you could have watched something else, you see,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that's the beauty of America. If you don't like what
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you're watching or listening to, you have a variety of options.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: You either turn it off or change the channel.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Huh, let's call variety. That's what America is. Free speech.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's not one point of view, one way. This is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the only way you challenge authority. You question, you have curiosity,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: don't just become a lemming. Unfortunately for many listen to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: talk radio, that's what it's becoming. It's chased others away.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But I pay tribute first to Bernard McGirk. Every time
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I did talk radio at WABC, the ecroonym stood for
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Alwish Broadcasting Curtis thirty five years I would give a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: tribute to Bernard McGirk because unfortunately he passed away in
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two at sixty four, should never have died.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: He didn't take a PSA test, the simple prick of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the finger. So if we're gonna achieve anything in these
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: two hours, maybe we can save some lives out there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: There was this one commercial as amazed, I saw Glankowski
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: tight end and so another guy think was George Kittle
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is sitting there actual tight ends who played in the NFL.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And it said a PSA test will allow a man
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to relax his tight end. And I said, man, this
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: is good because one in eight men will be diagnosed
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: with prostate cancer. And unfortunately, even though there are a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: lot of remedies now that didn't exist when I had
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: stage four prostate cancer and unfortunately I had my prostate
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: out there were another remedies. I'm still paying the price today.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Bernard McGirk lost his life because he didn't get a
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: simple prick of the finger of blood test. Please, wherever
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you are listening to this show today, there's nothing more
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: important than saving lives. We're going to talk about that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: later on when we talk about Jeron Mondamini his inability
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to save the lives of homeless and emotionally disturbed persons
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: that froze to death. I know I was personally out
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: there with the Guardian Angels. You can check all of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that out on my social networking. But we paid tribute
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to him because I remember the day he died. WABC
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: was never the same, never the same dis he is
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he You were there, You remember that guy Knew talk radio.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the others who remain, it's like a repetition
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: over and over, the same.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Show, over and over and over.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: The other one, naturally, I have to pay tribute to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is the king of all talk radio, Bob Grant.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Nobody was better.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Not only was he enlightening and toldless things we didn't know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but most important, he was entertaining.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: He would give you a good belly laugh.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: When's the last time you had a really good belly
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: laugh listening to Talk Creative? I'll tell you I get migraines.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I got a flip to EDM electronic dance music with
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: my wife. Oh, host of DM song starting with Chainsmokers.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Don't let me down. A lot of you did in
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the election. I don't want to hear that tizzy izzy
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: people come up to me. I vote a few. If
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: all the people came up to me voted for me,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I would have been mayor of the City of New
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: York and we would have been in better shape at
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: No, we'll get to that later on.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: And then, of course this thing of ours, talk radio
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: was created by and when I say talk radio, I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: mean taking calls from people you never heard before in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the radio.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Not the same old callers.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Oh myDNA, my do I gotta listen to that guy
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a gala again. It's like since one of day a
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: part of the show. How about allowing new people will
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: call in? Do you know that less than one percent
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of people listen to talk radio in their whole lives?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Less than one percent of called in. And it's the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: same people over and over again. And dizzy Isy, when
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: we open up the phones today, you better not be
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: taking the same old callers. Or let me just say,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you will feel vibrations from me that will rock you
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: from your your toes to your nose.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Good talk radio. A lot of callers different who disagree
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: with you. Not just a love fast.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Remember how I said, Parney, you know listening to the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: echo chambion.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Oh I love you, I love you.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I remember I used to look at that purple monster
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: up there. I love you, you love me. We're a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: happy family with a great big hug. And it kissed
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: from me to you. Won't you say you love me too?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: If I had a forty four magnum, I would have
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: shot him right there. And that RCA I think it
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was an rc A TV. Remember Elvis did that. Yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that's right, Elvis did that in Memphis. And then Talk
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: told Red, hey go out and get me a new TV.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: He didn't like something on TV.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Took out. I think it was twenty two or thirty eight. Bam,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: that's what I felt like. It's like an echo chamber.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Where's the different thoughts we are, the different people challenging
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: what you just said. That's that's what must change. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you know where talk radio, real talk radio was created
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: right here?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Wor Did you know that this he is he?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Most people don't know that. They have no idea how
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: talk radio got started. Well, it was very gray right here, WI.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: This was the DJ at night. All of a sudden,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Woody Herman called in after he played a Woody Herman
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: song and the suits were listening and say, hey, that's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: pretty good.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And then he started letting callers, normal, average everyday people call.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Oh that's even better.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: That's how talk radio started. If you're not taking calls,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: then it's a mini podcast. Guests oo far with these guests,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you hear them, you know, I sample talk radio at night.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: You can get in on the podcast when I finish
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: a long workday.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: My wife says to me, are you a massochist?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I mean you really You must loathe yourself to have
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: to listen to the same discussions with the same guests
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: on four or five different formats. You see him on
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Fox News and see it, and then you hear them
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: on the radio.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: It's the same. They never break stride.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Guess so far, any guests, we got callers and obviously
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the the hostess gotta do preparation show prep. Yeah, two
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: hours of prep for one every one hour on the air.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: That means I have.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: To relate to you, the listeners, things that maybe you
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: didn't know. So even if you don't like my opinion,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you know, likewise.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe you learn something.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: We just did that announcement, the PSA test is gonna
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: save people's lives.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And you didn't have to hear it at PSA format.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You heard it from your truly critics who had stage
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: four prostate cancer.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So a lot of people who have said to me, well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Now?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It's three months after the election, November fourth, little more
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: than three months, and I gotta tell you a lot
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of people would tell me, forget, don't go back to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: talk radio.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: You've done it thirty five years.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody did it better in New York City other than
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the king of talk radio, Bob Grant. Come on, I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: don't even come close. But it turns a longevity and
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: of course a great March simone, no doubt about it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: That guy's a smooth operator. Every time I hear Mark
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: on the air, I think of that Shadday song classic.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I first heard it in the eighties and London outside
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: of Array when I was patrolling with the Cardian Angels
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: say smooth operator by Shade Man.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: He is the smoothest.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But I have determined, after consulting with the best thing
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that ever happened in my life, and I have restated
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: that a number of times. On Valentine's Day, you may
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: have seen my post and Nancy's post. We did it
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: with Tiny who was a cat and Nancy rescued from
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: a hoarding situation who would not socialize.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: We took pictures.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Boy Tiny has assimilated with so many other cats that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: my wife and others out there have rescued over the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: years and then either forced them out or adopted them out.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The best thing that ever happened in my life. Hey,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you know, people have wanted me to do videos podcasting,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of gen z's and millennials now following me.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: They invited me to Yale University right for debate seven
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: different groups. They went from conservatives to progressives to DSSA.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: And I came out of there after two and a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: half hours and they were saying, well, you're the uniter,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and now who's lining up? We got Harvard, we got
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Princeton lining up, we got corn know, we got Queen's College,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: we got Hopshire, we got others. And so the millennials
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in gend esze is I say, yeah, well where can
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: we find you wick it? They don't listen to talk radio.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Come on, let's be honest, right, come on, dizzy is he?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: They don't listen to talk if it's people fifty five plus,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And some people say, well, do the podcast for the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: millennials in gen ze Is. They have an insatiable appetite
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to find out more about what you do, Curtis and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: all the things you've been through, which y'all a lot.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, yeah, I can't do that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: But the other day my wife said, Valentine, say, he
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: said you got a mission. You know, everywhere we go,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: people who are your age, Curtis, because she's millennial, your age,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: say hey, would you come back and save talk radio?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That's what they say, does he is he? Because I
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: gotta tell you, especially those who used to listen to WABC,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they'll tell me, hey, I missed listening to you on
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: seventy seven WABC. You will never hear my voice on
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: there again, because they're always backstabbing me, blaming me for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Mondami's win, bashing me. I listen less and less to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: WABC and turn into other stations. But I listened less
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and less to talk radio in general, and I understand it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And speaking of WABC, they seem to have gone out
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of their way to find anybody who loves to bash
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: or blame Curtis to bring on the radio. Andrew evilized
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Cuomo Wright.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, Andrew, I.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Said to them, he too su Proviano Spatci man, you
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: are boring radio, but he loves to bash me. Now
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: they're bringing on Frnando Martel, who I beat in the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Republican primary for mayor in twenty twenty one. Yeah, disey
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: is because he's promised for two hours he's gonna do
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: nothing but bash Curtis and blame Curtis for zorn Mondamis.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: And no doubt soon they'll bring the crypto criminal himself,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the blockchain man best known for crime coin aka Bitcoin,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Eric Adams Swaggerman with no plan.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: By the way, where did that million dollars go? Eric? First?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Out of the box? You know, the token token New
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: York City, That nonsense. A million dollars disappeared. But they'll
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: probably give me a job too, and it will be
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: one big echo chamber. So stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It's time for me to get back into the mix
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of talk radio in addition to all the other things
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that I'm doing. Because it's twenty hours out of a

  Speaker 2: Oval Office that it should be renamed Donald Trump Day
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and everybody in the Oval Office, yeah, yeah, of course,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: of course. Oh god, you know how you have Trump
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: derangement syndrome. I think a lot of people are getting
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Trump fatigue. Look, I've known Donald Trump for probably close
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to forty years, a love hate relationship.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Everybody knows that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And originally when he was citizen Trump, you know, he
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: was always an eye and me guy. You could say
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: that about myself a lot of other people Alslim Shady, Sharpton,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese, Shuman. During the eighties, right, we were
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: like Lenslice, Right?
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Right? Does he is?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: He?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: We like Lenzeist? Turn on the TV, you'd see one
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: of the four of us. If that was a crime
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: getting publicity, all four of us would have been in
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the same jail cell. Would have been Donald Trump, would
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: have been Alslim shady sharped in, it would have been
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Chucky che Schumer, the Schmucker Putts, and of course it
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: would have been Curtis Lee. But when he was an
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: iron me guy, and he put his name on hotels
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and casinos and buildings and airplanes and steaks and neckties
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and bottled water. Okay, Narcissistic personality disorder. A lot of
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: people have that. You listen to the mornings over at WABC,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that's Sid Rosenberg. Narcissistic personality disorder. A lot of people
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: have that, and it was sort of entertaining at the time,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: but now I don't know mine. He wants to be
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: on the one dollar coin. He's got his name, It's
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: on the JFK Center. He wants Penn Station named after him,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: the Washington Commander's new stadium named after him. He wants
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Washington Dulles International Airport named after him. And there's a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: move to say he should be up there on Mount Rushmore.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: You know, the sixty foot monuments to our previous president,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: starting with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and of
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: course Abraham Lincoln. Teddy Roosevelt. He had a umongous ego.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Teddy was all about himself, no doubt about it. And
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: other presidents have been that way. I mean, Calvin Coolidge
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: had a coin made for him his face. Calvin Coolidge
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: one of the worst presidents of all time, right, a
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: person of those consequence while he was still alive and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: in office. And then Hoover, you were responsible for the depression.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: You have the Hoover dam the damn named after him.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Then FDR said no, and then Truman reinstalled it. So
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I get it, these cults of personality, I get it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: But wow, this is extreme, and so many of you
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: out there all right, listen.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Oh he's infallible. Guess what.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: The Pope was never infallible. Donald Trump is not infallible.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: He's uniquely qualified. He's divinely delivered. Oh God, enough of this.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: But we've had a lot of bullshnizzle before the Age
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of Camelot. I mean, with JFK and RFK and Teddy Kennedy. Boy,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: they would have been on those Epstein lists. You know
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: that if they were alive with jeffy Epstein, you know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you know, they'd have been on pedophile Island. Oh my god,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: they would have had frequent flyer miles on the Lolita
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Express from a teen a cairport out there off the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Virgin Islands, no doubt about it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna talk about Jeffrey Epstein, you know, out
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: of all finally, you know, we get to Epstein files.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Tribute to Donald Trump for releasing him, because the Democrats
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: never did. But you know what we find out the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein's obsession not only being a high end pimp
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: for those who had the same predilections as him. Remember,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: if you were looking for adult women exotic, you went
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: to Jeffrey Epstein. If you were looking for kids, you
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: went to Jeffrey Epstein. But apparently his predilection that topped
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: all of the of the sicola predilections that he and
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: his followers had was he only ate beef jerkey and
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: it had to be the inner Mongolian style. So out
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: of the millions and millions of patpers worth of files
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that have been dropped, finally by Pam Bondi, who said, oh,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: they're all on my desk, but she lied. Susie Wiles,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the chief of staff, said, hey, she lied about that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: We finally got most of it and we find out
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: that he would fly a chef in from Long Island
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: because all you would eat was beef jerky. So with
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: all these dinners that he hosted or he attended, am
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I to believe that on his plate was beef jerky?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Really And people didn't look at that and say, man,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: this guy is freaky, deeky. He's a sicola.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Just from that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: So much more. And I got to say, for all
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: of these people, they reminded me of Sogeant Schultz. You
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: remember Hogan's heroes Stalog thirteen. I see nothing, I hear nothing,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I know nothing, this even after two thousand and eight
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: for pedophilia. And I gotta give credit to Donald Trump
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on this. Donald Trump, apparently, in a phone call to
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the Palm Beach police chief at the time, said everyone
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: knows about Jeffrey Epstein's aberink behavior. I threw him out
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: of the club marl Largo. People in New York knew
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: he was disgusting. Yeah they did, and yet they still
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: did business with him, especially Steve Tish, co owner of
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: the Giants, who loved those babies got back. Oh my god,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you see you should have the sir mix a lot song.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Baby got back. I like big butts and I cannot lie.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And that's why Steve Tish would go to Jeffrey Epstein hook.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Me up with Baby got back.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: But I didn't do nothing wrong trying to light up
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: those phones to be heard here on your newfound station.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: WOOR one eight hundred three two one zero. That's one
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one. Seven ten.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: The Beret is back.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Curtis leewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: ten WOO.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Back to save talk radio.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's the mission I've been given so many people telling me, Oh,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: you gotta come back, you gotta come back.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: On the air. This stuff is killing me out there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: You know, like a guy like Greg Kelly over at WABC,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: what's he gonna do?
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Mark Simones away today, will be back tomorrow. And that's
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Greg Kelly show prep. Without Mark Simone, He's got nothing
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: to talk about. He basically repeats everything that Mark said
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: on his show. Oh enough enough, we gotta go to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the phones. I promised you that. Let's go to Jane,
• 23:53

• 25:03
  Speaker 2: and streets because I'm there every day.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Uh oh, I've voted for you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: If they had voted for me, I would have been
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: the mayor of the City of New York and we
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: would have been in a much better shape, right, but
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: please don't glaze me. Wait a second, that's that's for
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: the millennials and Gen zee Is people who are my generation, right,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you baby boomers out there, you probably think I'm talking
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: about glazed doughnuts. No, no, no, that's the term that
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: has made me uber popular with the millennials in gen
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: z Is. I say, don't be glazing me, because a
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: lot of people do, and on this format here, Worr,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: don't be glazing me.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Don't be pulling my chain and chewing my shorts. That's
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the way we would have said it in the old neighborhood.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: By the way, curling, you know, Olympic sport, Winter Olympic
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: sport couldn't be any more boring, like some of talk
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: radio I've listened to lately, And so my wife was
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: asking me about I say, it's like Bacchi. You know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: my grandfather if he Dela Bianchino played Bacci with the
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: other gumbas in Keanarsi, you know, they'd be smoking a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: crooked Italian cigars at Deanobla. They'd be speaking their dialect,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: cursing one another. It was boring with Bacci. It's boring
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: with curling. Oh, we got to under this boring repetition
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: of talk radio. It's like, God, be curious, challenge your Dougherty,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: ask questions. Don't be sickle fans, Tody's and lackeys and
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: allow for other points of you to be hurt. That's
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: the American way. Let's go to Chris, who's calling from
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Beth Page. Your turn to be heard here? Seven to
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: ten w or R Chris.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Hey, Curtis, I got even money back with a friend
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: that somehow Steve from Manhattan sneaks onto the air in
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: some way today anyhow. But I know you're good at
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: rooting him out anyhow, Curtis. The reason I called was
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: I vote it for Trump. Trump, and I disagree with
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: you most of us, I'd say, like ninety of us.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Aren't these lackeys that everything he says, we think he's
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: stupid a lot of stuff. We voted for his policies.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: He's got great economic policies. He closed the border. Gas
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: is cheaper. You know, you can go on and on
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: with his great policies. He's a great president, I think,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: but he's not a good human being. I'm sorry. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: would never hang out with the guy. He sounds like
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: a morn half the time. But I like his policies
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: and that's what we voth right.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Well, no, no, that's that's extraordinarily fair Chris like wanting to
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: take over Canada, wanting to take over Greenland. Like, really,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: do you think if he had said that, let's say,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: in the campaign against first Biden and then Harris the
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: bifer kated campaign. Do you think if he had said, oh,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: when I become president, we're going to take over Canada,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to take over Greenland, do you think he
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: would have won that an election?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Not at all? Okill no, But that's but that's him,
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: you know, him art of the deal hung out with
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: me know his deal. He does what he can to
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: get what he wants and then he goes bat so
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: and that's you know, I do that, I know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: But you see the problem is now, if you believe
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: that we have to have balance in government and Republicans
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and I am a Republican, we need to win the
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: midterm elections, those kinds of attitudes are gonna be hurtful
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: to the ability to maintain the majority. And you know,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: if the Democrats Hakeem Jeffries becomes a speaker, he loves
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: for that you imagine the schmuck to putch CHUCKI Chi
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Schumer returning his majority leader of the Senate. Oh my god,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: that guy is an advertisement for term limits. And it's
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: not just him. They're Republicans senators there. What are they
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: going to be one hundred years old until death? Do
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: us part term limits for everyone? Let's go if we
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: can to at this point, I believe it is Sophie
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: who was calling from Connecticut, your turn to be heard
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: here on seven ten wo.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Sophie, good morning, Courtis we spoke years and years ago.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: I am also Polish that you have Polish in Connecticut,
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: as you know. The reason I'm calling I listening to
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: what was happening the election and how wrong it was.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: And I'm very concerned about the power of WABC owner
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: into this whole election and political issues. Even this morning.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I know, Sophie, they bashed me all the time. It's
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: over three months. Dominic Carter wouldn't have a show unless
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: he spent half of it bashing me and blaming me
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: for Johann Mandami. And they had no impact. First they
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: supported Eric Adams right the Swagerman with no plan to cook.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Then they supported Andrew evilized Coomo Facha Brutta and he
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: lost too.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: So don't think they're all that powerful.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you just based on the people who
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: come up to me who identify themselves as WABC listeners,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: they say, I missed you on WABC. Okay, I get that,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And since the mayor's race has ended, I listen less
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: and less to WABC and tune into other stations. And
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: that's true. You look at the ratings they have plummeted
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: at WABC. Time spent listening is down noticeably. They run
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: around pat each other on the back so hard they'll
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: have to go for a chiropractic adjustment. But it's not
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: good talk radio, it really is. That's why my wife
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: has finally said to me, your job is to get
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: back into action in that thing that you've done for
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: thirty five years, talk radio with everything else that I'll
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: be doing, because I have a mission to save talk
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: radio and make it compelling and interesting and non predictable.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Why should I listen to a show today? What I
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: know they're gonna say the same thing today that they
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: said last week that they're gonna say next week, which.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Is ball.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: The Balls of.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: New York on the voice of New York's Curtis Sleewald,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: guest host for Marximon on sevent ten DOUBLEO.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: You know, for thirty five years, I was the voice
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: of New York over at WABC. It was always broadcasting Curtis,
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: and then it's turned into nothing more but always bashing Curtis,
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: always blaming Curtis for zarn Mondamie winning the mayoral election.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: We'll deal with Zaron up next. But I was also
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: like the Quay's Eye program. I'm director there for many years.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Because I would listen, I would get constructive criticism. I had,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: you know, Dizzy is He. The Curtics Slee were boot
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: camp for talk radio show hosts had to because when
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you're starting TV, because there's some people in talk creadio.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: They have no business being in talk creator they're starting
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: on TV. Then they go to radio, it just doesn't work.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: You're used to highly produced segments, teleprompters, no improv it's dull.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Greg Kelly is an example of that. He's lost without
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a teleprompter. Dominic carter Man, he was like special ed
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: when it came to this, Well, I'm a journalist, I'm
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: a journalists and I say you ain't no journalists no more.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: You're a talk radio show host. You got to have
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: an opinion. You remember that Dizzy is he the guy
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: couldn't have an opinion. He wouldn't be on WABC.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: If not for me.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: But as part of that critics Slie boot camp for
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: talk radio show hosts at Dominic Carter, he was my
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: primary focus. And I had to get Frank moronalds Now
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the counselor and from South Beach, Staten Island, doing a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: great job by my dad. Had to get him back
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: on the beam. He needed a little help there, a
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: little remedial help. And then we had Richie Valdez, the
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: liberty loving Latino, great talk show hosts.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I was mentoring him, and then they got rid.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Of him there at WABC, And I said to myself,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: are you kidding? How many Latino voices and Latino voices
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: are there in what we call Anglo talk radio?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Right? Almost? Note what guy's gone on.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I have syndicated talk radio programs across the nation, now
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: across the world.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I did my job as a.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Program director, but now I'm a talk show host who
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: is
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: So help bent on saving this thing of ours, talk
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: radio
