Hour 1: Homelessness in NYC. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, Mark sim owners away and curtiusly with
0:05
Speaker 1: his here to play on talk radio, which I've been
0:11
Speaker 1: involved with for what will be thirty six years in
0:14
Speaker 1: January and crashes on the boards. Old WABC alumni will
0:21
Speaker 1: talk about that later on. Not my place to be
0:24
Speaker 1: any longer because it's always bashing Kurdish there. But I
0:28
Speaker 1: am festooned in red and will be taking you the
0:33
Speaker 1: rest of the way to Mark Returns on January second.
0:36
Speaker 1: And you might, you might think that I was actually
0:41
Speaker 1: a form of Santa Claus. What is that the miracle
0:45
Speaker 1: on thirty fourth Street, you know where that crazed woman
0:48
Speaker 1: walked in and stabbed a tourists from California multiple times.
0:52
Speaker 1: Thank god she survived. Yeah, no, not see. I'm always
0:58
Speaker 1: getting people coming up to me actually talking about crime
1:03
Speaker 1: and things that are going wrong. Understood, understood. You see
1:07
Speaker 1: the red beret, you see the red satin jacket that's
1:09
Speaker 1: expected them in the subways and streets every day. But
1:12
Speaker 1: last night, I once again attended in Washington Heights our
1:17
Speaker 1: annual Junior Guardian Angels Christmas extravagance for Lease Navidad. They're
1:24
Speaker 1: predominantly Dominicans. A lot of those kids. We give remedial
1:29
Speaker 1: training after school at our headquarters there, you know, to
1:34
Speaker 1: get them to be able to speak English and assimilate
1:37
Speaker 1: to math, do the things that maybe they're not getting
1:40
Speaker 1: in the public school system, which are many instances, is
1:44
Speaker 1: failing our kids with spending credible amounts of money forty
1:48
Speaker 1: one billion dollars alone in the city. That's one third
1:50
Speaker 1: of the budget. But our program and a lot of
1:54
Speaker 1: other programs around the city nourish these children who were
1:58
Speaker 1: in need, many of them without fathers. The mothers were present,
2:04
Speaker 1: or the older brothers or sisters, and it was great.
2:08
Speaker 1: But I also ended up doing a moonwalk, so to speak,
2:13
Speaker 1: because everywhere I went last night, and I'm always in
2:18
Speaker 1: the subways and streets, I was involved in a flashback.
2:24
Speaker 1: Let me you explain. I was not in a drug
2:26
Speaker 1: induce psychosis. I had not been smoking Maui Wawi or
2:31
Speaker 1: Hindu kush. Like the former mayor who Discratsia to build
2:36
Speaker 1: a basil, who's in his midlife crisis. My god, that
2:40
Speaker 1: guy cannot you know, he should keep his rocket in
2:43
Speaker 1: his pocket because the guy is just chasing skirts all
2:48
Speaker 1: over the place. Anyway, The point being is I'm up
2:51
Speaker 1: there I'm watching Santi Claus give out presents to the
2:56
Speaker 1: children of the Junior Guardian Angels program, and I'm thinking
2:59
Speaker 1: about ten years. Do you know who would come in
3:03
Speaker 1: and entertain the children? Because the leader there, super Stretcher's
3:08
Speaker 1: been with me since he was fifteen years old, fifteen
3:11
Speaker 1: years old in the Bronx nineteen seventy nine. He runs
3:14
Speaker 1: the program. You know he had had in Jordan Neely.
3:18
Speaker 1: Now you may say, who's Jordan Neely? Think about that? Think, think, think,
3:23
Speaker 1: think moonwalk, Think Michael Jackson. He lived right across the
3:28
Speaker 1: street in Washington Heights sink back May one, twenty twenty
3:36
Speaker 1: three at Saint Jordan Neely, who was best known as
3:42
Speaker 1: an impersonator of Michael Jackson. He would do the moonwalk
3:45
Speaker 1: and sing Billy Jean ended up in that subway, remember
3:51
Speaker 1: with Daniel Penny. The marine then ended up choking him
3:55
Speaker 1: out because he was so emotionally disturbed, been living in
4:00
Speaker 1: the subway and a dysfunctional way because he was emotionally
4:05
Speaker 1: disturbed for years, for years, going through garbage cans, trying
4:10
Speaker 1: to find a place to relieve himself, like so many
4:13
Speaker 1: other who live in our subterranean. Dante's inferno that we
4:19
Speaker 1: call the subway. And there's a group out there, the
4:23
Speaker 1: Bowery Residence Committee. You should all know. We've spent millions
4:26
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars for them. It's part of the
4:29
Speaker 1: nonprofit industrial complex dealing with homeless. There's five hundred contracts
4:35
Speaker 1: out there, various agencies. They're always kickbacks, always subcontracts. Really
4:42
Speaker 1: needs to be investigated. But this group goes out there
4:44
Speaker 1: in these orange Sherbet jackets. You almost never see them.
4:48
Speaker 1: I've seen them on occasion. And their job isn't to
4:52
Speaker 1: care for the emotionally disturbed. They're the homeless. It's to
4:55
Speaker 1: count them. Yeah, count it once and count it to
5:01
Speaker 1: And in reference to this very disturbed young man, Jordan Neely,
5:05
Speaker 1: who was quite the entertainer ten years ago before unfortunately
5:11
Speaker 1: he died in the arms of Daniel Penny, who did
5:13
Speaker 1: not want to kill him. Was quite the Michael Jackson impersonated.
5:20
Speaker 1: So you want to know what happened in between that
5:22
Speaker 1: causted him to fall into the abyss. And even though
5:26
Speaker 1: he came into contact with many homeless outreach persons of
5:30
Speaker 1: this Bowery Residence Committee that has failed us over and over,
5:34
Speaker 1: taking our money and provided little of any service. He
5:36
Speaker 1: was put on a list of the fifty most dangerous
5:40
Speaker 1: emotionally disturbed persons who live in the city subway system.
5:44
Speaker 1: They are like four hundred and seventy two platforms and stations.
5:47
Speaker 1: I've been to them all, imagine, and making a list,
5:51
Speaker 1: not taking him to a mental health care facility, not
5:55
Speaker 1: getting him help, but just putting him on a list
5:58
Speaker 1: and checking it twice, madam am I. And then on
6:04
Speaker 1: that fateful afternoon on May first, twenty twenty three, Jordan
6:08
Speaker 1: nearly comes into that car, that f train car right
6:12
Speaker 1: in the Lower east Side where I was yesterday. I
6:14
Speaker 1: think he was at Broadway Lefiete, starts terrorizing the passengers.
6:20
Speaker 1: Daniel Penny was living in the Lower east Side going
6:23
Speaker 1: for a job interview. Did not look like your typical
6:26
Speaker 1: jarhead marine. No, no, he was very very much like
6:30
Speaker 1: almost a hippie so to speak, very bohemian. Puts him
6:34
Speaker 1: inte show cold. Unfortunately, jordanan dies. He goes for the
6:41
Speaker 1: interview or the first police precinct. The DTS say, okay,
6:46
Speaker 1: you did the right thing. And then days later who
6:48
Speaker 1: decides to windem Alvin Bragg, who turns all criminals loose,
6:52
Speaker 1: but in dts, those that are defending themselves and everyone else.
6:56
Speaker 1: You know that Jose Alba, remember in the bodega, who
7:00
Speaker 1: unfortunately had to kill the guy who came over the counter,
7:03
Speaker 1: who was threatening his life. It goes on and on,
7:05
Speaker 1: but this case in particular, it's ten years ago. He
7:11
Speaker 1: was entertaining junior Guardian Angels from time to time with
7:13
Speaker 1: his skill level. He had skills, and so I was
7:17
Speaker 1: like moonwalking back and saying, you know how long this
7:21
Speaker 1: has been going on? We have all these emotionally disturbed persons,
7:27
Speaker 1: We have all these homeless nothing being done, nothing by
7:30
Speaker 1: Deblasio and his griff's wife Charlene. Remember they took one
7:34
Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars over five years for a
7:37
Speaker 1: program called Thrive. They never helped one emotionally disturbed person,
7:42
Speaker 1: never investigated because it's a one party system in New
7:44
Speaker 1: York City and New York State. That's why you need
7:47
Speaker 1: a two party system, if not more the checks and balances.
7:51
Speaker 1: So that was my experience there. Then I jump on
7:55
Speaker 1: the A train and I head down to East Broadway
8:00
Speaker 1: Guardian Angel headquarters in Chinatown to accompany them as they
8:04
Speaker 1: go out and they handle the emotionally disturbed and the homeless,
8:09
Speaker 1: many of whom reside in Sarah Roosevelt Park. Now some
8:13
Speaker 1: of you probably have been through that over the years.
8:16
Speaker 1: Goes between Canal Street and He's housed and Forsyth and Christie,
8:22
Speaker 1: and there are all kinds of rules and regulations. Is
8:25
Speaker 1: he let me tell you something, if you ever go there.
8:27
Speaker 1: It says big signe pets are prohibited from the park,
8:31
Speaker 1: but not drug dealers, drug users, or pervs, petophiles. It
8:38
Speaker 1: says no scooters. And yet you see scooters going through
8:41
Speaker 1: like mad crazed individuals who are ready to knock you down.
8:46
Speaker 1: And it's just a miserable park. Miserable park, lots of problems,
8:50
Speaker 1: lots of emotionally disturb lots of homeless. So we go
8:54
Speaker 1: through there and we make sure things are cool, calm
8:57
Speaker 1: and collected, and we have Narkhan with us. You know
9:00
Speaker 1: why these people are on the verge maybe of dying
9:06
Speaker 1: having taken in fentanyl. Later on we're going to discuss,
9:11
Speaker 1: you know, Venezuela, we're on the cusp of starting this
9:13
Speaker 1: war supposedly because Maduro is helping to export the fentanyl
9:21
Speaker 1: into our country. That's a lie, that's like weapons of
9:25
Speaker 1: mass destruction. Remember we got invade the Rock Saddam Hussein, right,
9:29
Speaker 1: Dick Sheney, who was saying, oh, well, you know, forget
9:32
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein, you might as well look at how Kaida
9:37
Speaker 1: there Osama been like and trying to conflate the two.
9:41
Speaker 1: We're still looking for those weapons of mass destruction. Right.
9:44
Speaker 1: There's no fentinol coming out of Venezuela. If anything, it's cocaine.
9:51
Speaker 1: But that's one of the rationalsis. We are on the
9:54
Speaker 1: cusp of war as troops being assembled on the island
9:59
Speaker 1: of Puerto Rico. They're off in the Atlantic Ocean in
10:05
Speaker 1: different parts, ready to strike a task force with a
10:10
Speaker 1: aircraft carrier, the Gerald Ford and others. By the way,
10:13
Speaker 1: have they renamed any of our battleships in honor of
10:16
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump? Apparently he wants new battleships named in
10:20
Speaker 1: his honor. He wants everything named in his honor. Right
10:23
Speaker 1: there it is, see the Kennedy Center, it's now the
10:25
Speaker 1: Trump Kennedy Center. He wants to coin You know, generally
10:29
Speaker 1: these things happen once you're dead. No, I don't need
10:34
Speaker 1: to hear that. Uh, Like the tappan Zee Bridge, right
10:38
Speaker 1: there was renamed in the waning moments of a legislative
10:43
Speaker 1: station by Andrew evilised Coomo the Mario Coumol Bridge. To me,
10:47
Speaker 1: it'll always be the Tappanzee Bridge, which tad happens once
10:49
Speaker 1: you're dead. Trump wants all these things while he's alive.
10:56
Speaker 1: Oh boy, But let's discuss that, because we are at
11:05
Speaker 1: a point with this holiday Christmas extravagance in New Year's
11:09
Speaker 1: where a lot of men and women are overseas and
11:13
Speaker 1: it comes on the cusp of another war that is
11:17
Speaker 1: raging in the Ukraine. Putin, responsible for invading the Ukrains.
11:23
Speaker 1: Zolenski did not take the opportunity to leave. He stood
11:27
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian's battle back somewhat at an impasse. Putin wants
11:34
Speaker 1: Zelenski to say no Mass, no Mass, and the carnage continues.
11:39
Speaker 1: The carnage continues. And it was interesting that Zelenski, right
11:46
Speaker 1: before the holiday, said, hey, I tell you what Putin
11:51
Speaker 1: wants the eastern part of the Ukraine. Instead of arguing
11:56
Speaker 1: over what you get and we get. If there is peace,
11:58
Speaker 1: an armistice, why don't we set up a dmz DE
12:02
Speaker 1: militarized zone And a certain number of miles would separate
12:07
Speaker 1: both sides, and then of course there would be troops
12:11
Speaker 1: that would guarantee the Ukrainian security on the NATO side. Now,
12:18
Speaker 1: let's explore that, because that's a pretty damn good idea
12:22
Speaker 1: to stop this carnage, because it doesn't seem like at
12:26
Speaker 1: this point anything is going to do that, so a
12:31
Speaker 1: mutual area in between it. And it sort of reminded
12:34
Speaker 1: me as I do the moonwalk, I go into the
12:36
Speaker 1: time machine slowly, I turn step by step, and hey,
12:43
Speaker 1: we're still involved. In Korea, the Korean Peninsula thirty eighth parallel,
12:49
Speaker 1: there is what one hundred and sixty mile long wall
12:54
Speaker 1: barbed wire three miles wide in between, in which there
13:00
Speaker 1: are sharpshooters on the North Korean side if you attempt
13:03
Speaker 1: to bolt the cross to leave, to leave the horror
13:09
Speaker 1: of Kim Jung mentally Ill's evil seat, that cult in
13:14
Speaker 1: North Korea, which barely has about it one million, two
13:19
Speaker 1: hundred thousand soldiers ready to go to battle, if not more.
13:26
Speaker 1: South Korea has four hundred and fifty thousand on their
13:28
Speaker 1: side of the DMZ, which was set up just about
13:32
Speaker 1: the time I was born in nineteen fifty four, twenty
13:36
Speaker 1: eight thousand United States troops across one hundred and sixty
13:43
Speaker 1: miles to keep the peace. Hopefully you'll all understand the
13:50
Speaker 1: sacrifice that those men and women are making and being
13:52
Speaker 1: on the front line, knowing that any moment especially there's
13:57
Speaker 1: a little portion there where you saw then President Donald
14:00
Speaker 1: Trump in his first term walk like halfway across, and
14:04
Speaker 1: then you saw a guy who was in need of
14:08
Speaker 1: ozempic who was at the evil see the Kim Jung
14:10
Speaker 1: mentally ill who's coming across. They shook hands there and
14:15
Speaker 1: you have the North Korean guards staring at the South
14:17
Speaker 1: Korean guards, I fortigating, mad dogging one another. Do you
14:22
Speaker 1: know that war is still going on? It was never ended.
14:26
Speaker 1: It was called the police action. Yeah, and the Americans died.
14:31
Speaker 1: Fifty two thousand Americans died in that Korean War. How
14:38
Speaker 1: many thousands were taking his POW's And I think once
14:43
Speaker 1: there was the armistice, remember didn't end. The war was
14:48
Speaker 1: to continue. It's officially a war now. I think there
14:52
Speaker 1: were twenty one soldiers who decided to stay back in
14:55
Speaker 1: North Korea. Well, I think they're in need of a
14:59
Speaker 1: psychiatric Hey, can you imagine that I want to stay
15:03
Speaker 1: in North Korea? But that's where a DMZ exists as
15:08
Speaker 1: we speak. I'll never forget. I was going down from California,
15:13
Speaker 1: from San Francisco, where I had a chapter of The
15:16
Speaker 1: Guardian Angels, to Los Angeles, Why Beautiful. On the coach
15:20
Speaker 1: stopped in Carmel where Clint Eastwood remember The Good, the Bad,
15:24
Speaker 1: and the Ugly. He was the mayor at that time
15:26
Speaker 1: and continuing to make films. I remember an old coat.
15:29
Speaker 1: They was telling me, Oh, yeah, you know, Clint, he
15:31
Speaker 1: was in the Korean War. He was, oh, tell me,
15:34
Speaker 1: you know, I want to sop up all the information.
15:37
Speaker 1: So yeah, he was stationed at Fort Ord. He was
15:40
Speaker 1: a swimming instructor, he said. But it came into handy
15:44
Speaker 1: use because he was on a flight that crashed. I
15:46
Speaker 1: don't know if it was in the ocean somewhere, it
15:49
Speaker 1: was in water, and he swam to chore saved his life.
15:53
Speaker 1: But he did service like so many other men and
15:57
Speaker 1: women stationed around the world this Christmas New Year's holiday
16:02
Speaker 1: that oftentimes we just don't think of at all, don't
16:08
Speaker 1: think of at all. And then, of course there was
16:12
Speaker 1: the DMC that I grew up with, like so many
16:16
Speaker 1: of the baby boomers in the Cold War, the Wall,
16:20
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall, in fact, I think it was put
16:24
Speaker 1: up in nineteen sixty one on the orders of Nikita
16:28
Speaker 1: kruz Jef remember said he would bury us at the
16:31
Speaker 1: General Assembly in a drunken stupor too much vodka, he
16:35
Speaker 1: took his shoe off, he banged the table, he said,
16:38
Speaker 1: we will bury you. And man, whenever you took a
16:41
Speaker 1: subway or a bus there was it was an area
16:44
Speaker 1: that showed that on television and every day we'd have
16:47
Speaker 1: to get underneath our our classroom tables that we worked
16:53
Speaker 1: from desks, and we had to put our hands behind
16:58
Speaker 1: our necks and kiss Artuka sardupa air rage siren will
17:04
Speaker 1: go on. You never know, the big one could be
17:06
Speaker 1: dropped at any moment in the midst of the Cold War,
17:12
Speaker 1: and how many many women were assigned to guarding that
17:18
Speaker 1: wall on the western side West Germany obviously much larger
17:22
Speaker 1: than East Germany. But helping the Stasi at that time
17:25
Speaker 1: was who Vladimir putin kg B guy on the eastern side.
17:31
Speaker 1: And that all came to me because I remember, I
17:35
Speaker 1: remember the scenes of the guard towers, the trenches, the
17:39
Speaker 1: death strip that separated East from West because The Communists
17:44
Speaker 1: were worried that so many of their people each day
17:46
Speaker 1: were fleeing to the West and freedom, about one thousand
17:50
Speaker 1: a day, that they decided to cut him down with
17:52
Speaker 1: machine gun fire if you did try to cross over
17:55
Speaker 1: for freedom. Some of the buildings actually were partially on
17:58
Speaker 1: one side and another side of the wall. I happened
18:02
Speaker 1: to be able to see it up close and personal
18:05
Speaker 1: after the wall came down. I was that nineteen eighty
18:09
Speaker 1: nine Bush forty one asleep at the wheel, CIA asleep
18:13
Speaker 1: at the wheel. They had no idea this was happening.
18:15
Speaker 1: It was part of Gorbachev, you know, with the weinstain
18:20
Speaker 1: on his head, the glass nose, Perestroika. Communism was falling,
18:24
Speaker 1: and we didn't move quickly enough to start teaching those
18:29
Speaker 1: folks about democracy and capitalism. We were just stunned. So
18:34
Speaker 1: by the time I got there organizing Guardian Angels. In Berlin,
18:37
Speaker 1: you could take the Uban and the s Bahn one
18:40
Speaker 1: was the underground subway that went from West Berlin to
18:42
Speaker 1: East Berlin, and then the elevated and the trains were
18:48
Speaker 1: graffited just like they were in the nineteen seventies and
18:52
Speaker 1: eighties here, and I was stunned as I walked through Berlin,
18:56
Speaker 1: walking through parks and plaza where everybody thought, oh this
19:02
Speaker 1: is this is the American Way graffiti. But I will
19:07
Speaker 1: tell you this, how many men and women served there,
19:09
Speaker 1: how many were killed and attempting to flee a DMC
19:14
Speaker 1: that existed. I think this is a pretty good idea
19:19
Speaker 1: that Zelenski has to end this carnage and think about it.
19:25
Speaker 1: Think about it, and think about all those men and
19:29
Speaker 1: women who continue to serve in including those men and
19:32
Speaker 1: women who already at a moment's notice to invade Venezuela
19:37
Speaker 1: when our commander in chief gives them the word. Right
19:40
Speaker 1: here at your place to be, Our number is eight
19:42
Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten. That's eight hundred
19:46
Speaker 1: three to two one zero seven ten. This is the
19:49
Speaker 1: station that maybe you're discovering for the very first time
19:53
Speaker 1: in a long time. This is the station you should
19:56
Speaker 1: be listening to from now on. Is I and my

Speaker 1: of Beef Steak Charlie's up there in Fordham. Roll remember
21:48
Speaker 1: Beef Steak Charlie's. They were everywhere. There were like sixty
21:50
Speaker 1: of them in the eighties. Well you can eat salad,
21:53
Speaker 1: barn limited beer, wine, sangreia, you know, the cheapest of
21:57
Speaker 1: the cheap, but you leave with a belly full, as
22:00
Speaker 1: many of the folks who went to Fordham did. Great
22:03
Speaker 1: radio guy and he came. He kept us at Rosenberg
22:08
Speaker 1: show alive. He threw him a lifeline. Yeah, you see
22:13
Speaker 1: this thing of ours. You know, what comes around goes around.
22:18
Speaker 1: But now I'm at my place to be w R
22:22
Speaker 1: seven ten that I listened to along with my wife,
22:24
Speaker 1: was going to give you an update in the eleven
22:26
Speaker 1: o'clock arrow. You know, she's all animal welfare all the time.
22:31
Speaker 1: And before we head out on the road to visit
22:33
Speaker 1: family and relatives for this Christmas vacation, boy' is a
22:38
Speaker 1: lot to catch up too with all of you, but
22:41
Speaker 1: up next, as promise your turn to be heard right
22:45
Speaker 1: here at seven ten wor.
22:47
Speaker 2: The beret is Batch Curtis Sleepwa guest host the Mark
22:52
Speaker 2: Simone Show on seven ten woo.
22:57
Speaker 1: As promised to the phones, we go because it's your
23:01
Speaker 1: turn to be heard here at seven ten w Pam
23:05
Speaker 1: in Patterson, New Jersey. Thanks for joining us, then thank you.
23:11
Speaker 3: And you probably remember me from the past and I
23:15
Speaker 3: missed Nancy's Animal Hour. Also, you and I have something
23:19
Speaker 3: in common from that other station called all day Bullying Callers.
23:26
Speaker 3: The person who's on one to five in the morning
23:29
Speaker 3: weekdays spent three out of the four hours mocking me
23:34
Speaker 3: because I rescue cats and calling it a psychopathy. There
23:39
Speaker 3: were a couple people who defended me. Your name was
23:42
Speaker 3: mentioned in vain as a cat person who's you know,
23:46
Speaker 3: we all have copathies and there's something wrong with us
23:50
Speaker 3: and we don't like people. Just coming from a person
23:53
Speaker 3: who has no children and no pets. Interesting. Interesting, And
23:59
Speaker 3: I did not I because I was one of the
24:01
Speaker 3: people responsible for helping that station get on its seat.
24:06
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I know, Ben, but I know you're
24:10
Speaker 1: talking about lying that one. He's not alone. Look, the
24:13
Speaker 1: President of the United States in the middle of the
24:16
Speaker 1: mayoral campaign that he should have stayed out of, decided
24:20
Speaker 1: to chastise me and my wife Nancy for rescuing cats.
24:25
Speaker 1: Like so many others listening here in the Tri State
24:28
Speaker 1: area and throughout the world on the Worldwide Net seven
24:33
Speaker 1: wor who are going to be euthanized in shelters. Oh,
24:38
Speaker 1: this is a bad thing. Well, I guess Mahatma Gandhi
24:41
Speaker 1: was a bad person, right, who said a society that
24:44
Speaker 1: does not take care of its animals does not take
24:47
Speaker 1: care of its people. Look obvious, emotionally disturb people everywhere,
24:52
Speaker 1: Homeless people, no way to go for Christmas and the
24:54
Speaker 1: holidays other than the subways and parks and streets. And
25:00
Speaker 1: they want to make fun of people who rescue animals.
25:06
Speaker 1: That's the President of the United States in this case.
25:10
Speaker 1: She was referring to Lionel others at Greg Kelly over
25:13
Speaker 1: at w ABC, same thing, same thing. Interesting low update.
25:18
Speaker 1: The incoming mayor Zoron Mandami. His wife has been a
25:23
Speaker 1: bit of an enigma. The incoming first lady. Her name
25:27
Speaker 1: is Rama, She's an artist from like Bushwick. She's going
25:31
Speaker 1: to have a cat at Gracie mansion. I had no
25:34
Speaker 1: idea that Zoron was allergic to cats, But in order
25:39
Speaker 1: to satisfy the desire of his wife, he's going to
25:42
Speaker 1: take the shots because he would have an allergy with
25:45
Speaker 1: the cat. President in Gracy Mansion. Good thing you don't
25:49
Speaker 1: hear anybody attacking him. Of course not they attack him
25:52
Speaker 1: for other things. But oh, if the worst thing we
25:56
Speaker 1: ever did in the world was to rescue animals in need.
26:02
Speaker 1: These people hate animals and that's what they do. Need
26:06
Speaker 1: to look at the Pew Research study last year. Check
26:10
Speaker 1: it out right now. If I would ask Crash, I
26:13
Speaker 1: wouldn't even have to google a chat chet. He would
26:19
Speaker 1: conjure it right up. So ninety seven percent of Americans,
26:25
Speaker 1: whether they voted for Trump, will voted for Harris. So
26:27
Speaker 1: they don't vote now view their pets as family members,
26:32
Speaker 1: as people ninety seven percent. So let them make fun
26:39
Speaker 1: of people who rescue animals in distress or people in
26:45
Speaker 1: distress who are homeless or emotionally disturbed, because let's face it,
26:49
Speaker 1: they have self centered iron me in many instances, miserable lives.
26:58
Speaker 1: We will be talking to animal rescue rescue up Nancy
27:02
Speaker 1: in the upcoming hour. Let's go to Stuart, who's calling
27:06
Speaker 1: from the Lower East Side, the East Village. Your turn
27:10
Speaker 1: to be heard here at seven ten wo R.
27:14
Speaker 4: Thank you, myn was Stu, pardon the voice and World
27:18
Speaker 4: Trade Center. I'm one of those idiots that ran in
27:20
Speaker 4: the wrong direction to help that day. And thank God
27:24
Speaker 4: for the World Trade Center Health Registry. I just wanted
27:28
Speaker 4: to say one. I love animals and to bid they
27:31
Speaker 4: don't have a shot for an incoming mayor that wants
27:34
Speaker 4: some handle cats. Stoley also likes New York Jews. They
27:38
Speaker 4: don't have a shot for that too. Bet You I've
27:41
Speaker 4: met three times. I've always liked you. I voted for
27:45
Speaker 4: you twice. You would have been the best man of
27:47
Speaker 4: the city ever had. And I hate what they did
27:51
Speaker 4: at ABC. I can't listen to the station. I hate betrayal.
27:54
Speaker 4: I hate what they did to you. I can't even
27:56
Speaker 4: listen to him when that.
27:57
Speaker 1: One, No, No, you don't. You don't have to. You
27:59
Speaker 1: don't have to. You may not have been listening to
28:01
Speaker 1: seven to ten wor for a long time. Now you
28:03
Speaker 1: have a friend of your own back. When Nancy joins
28:07
Speaker 1: me in the next hour. What we used to do
28:09
Speaker 1: is for the holidays, we would come on here and
28:13
Speaker 1: tend to all the shut ins and people at no one.
28:17
Speaker 1: You know, these times of year for them can be
28:20
Speaker 1: the most miserable times of the year. While others are
28:23
Speaker 1: enjoying family and friends, there are a lot of people
28:27
Speaker 1: they don't have family and friends who are either available
28:30
Speaker 1: to them or are no longer around. And we used
28:32
Speaker 1: to talk directly to them for hours and hours and hours.
28:38
Speaker 1: Let's go to if we can. Anita, who is calling
28:45
Speaker 1: from Maspith your turn to be heard here at seven
28:48
Speaker 1: ten wor Anita, how you doing?
28:51
Speaker 5: Curtis? I love listening to you on the radio now
28:55
Speaker 5: and even more to actually speak to you in person.
28:58
Speaker 5: I want you to know, on my property and on
29:02
Speaker 5: my block, I had all the vote for Curtis signs
29:06
Speaker 5: and I have a theory that I would like to
29:09
Speaker 5: ask your opinion on. When I heard Greg Kelly and
29:15
Speaker 5: Sid Rosenberg tell us to vote for Como, inside my
29:20
Speaker 5: body I kept saying, what if they had said vote
29:24
Speaker 5: for Curtis or wouldn't you I believe then have become
29:29
Speaker 5: our mayor. Now if they would have talked in.
29:31
Speaker 1: That vein, no, I would have had a much better shadow.
29:34
Speaker 1: We'll tell you this though, I will be traveling with
29:37
Speaker 1: my wife Nancy to visit her side of the family.
29:41
Speaker 1: We'll be up in Capital Land, Albany, Rensalier, Troy, and
29:46
Speaker 1: we'll be going for her mom and her stepdad's house
29:49
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania, so we'll be on the road. I have
29:53
Speaker 1: it on pretty good authority. I have to check it
29:55
Speaker 1: out in Capital Land while I'm there. The Republican leadership
30:01
Speaker 1: through Congresswoman Elised staphonic under the bus YEP again on
30:07
Speaker 1: behalf of a Democrat. That grifter Kathy Hokl who you
30:13
Speaker 1: saw in New York City yesterday basically having a love
30:17
Speaker 1: fest with Eric Adams swagger man with no plan. Maybe
30:21
Speaker 1: she's going to give him a parade through the canyony
30:23
Speaker 1: heroes just to get him the hell out of here.
30:26
Speaker 1: You know where he was. He traveled at our expense
30:29
Speaker 1: to Israel, Uzbekistan that he can't even find on a map, Mexico,
30:33
Speaker 1: and now we find out he went to Georgia and
30:36
Speaker 1: not Atlanta, Georgia, the country the home of Joe Stalin.
30:41
Speaker 1: He was in Tubilisi for a grand opening of a
30:44
Speaker 1: five star hotel, probably getting wine dined in pocket lined man.
30:50
Speaker 1: I can't wait till we are finished with a guy
30:57
Speaker 1: who for four years pimped or row at tax pay
31:02
