Speaker 1: Leewah guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten.
0:09
Speaker 2: Woar well, well this is it last time around that
0:18
Speaker 2: I'll be substituting here for Mark Simon.
0:21
Speaker 3: He's back on Monday the fifth. But every time I
0:25
Speaker 3: come here, I meet alumni from where I used to
0:28
Speaker 3: be WABC. Is he the board up here crash so
0:33
Speaker 3: many others who fled like refugees from a station that
0:39
Speaker 3: has become synonymous now with always blaming Curtis for Zorroonmandami
0:45
Speaker 3: being the mayor and always bashing Curtis. But anyway, so
0:49
Speaker 3: is he patronizes me this morning? Oh don't don't do
0:54
Speaker 3: that to me, please, A very busy New Year's Eve,
0:59
Speaker 3: very busy New Year's dam. I'm going to get into
1:01
Speaker 3: it momentarily, by the way, you want to make a
1:05
Speaker 3: New Year's what a promise elected officials at the MTA
1:12
Speaker 3: money taking agency, the most inept of the many state
1:17
Speaker 3: agencies in New York. How about cleaning the subway cars,
1:23
Speaker 3: the number two, three, and number one that are so
1:26
Speaker 3: thick with flotsam and jetsam dirt that it was shameful
1:34
Speaker 3: that I had to explain to tourists who were here
1:36
Speaker 3: in New York City why we can't clean our subway cars.
1:40
Speaker 3: I mean filthy dirty. Oh no, but you know our
1:44
Speaker 3: business here is just to raise the fair and take
1:47
Speaker 3: more money and provide no service. That's number one, number
1:52
Speaker 3: two our New Year's resolution from the Sliwa family, we
1:57
Speaker 3: posted it. You look at all my social network and
2:00
Speaker 3: just go to act Curtis Lee, it's all there. And
2:04
Speaker 3: Nancy and I said we want for New Years to
2:10
Speaker 3: be a time we're all stray and shelter animals will
2:15
Speaker 3: have a loving home. And there were people who attacked
2:19
Speaker 3: us for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, haters, man, they hate
2:23
Speaker 3: animals again. Mahatma Gandhi said, a society that does not
2:29
Speaker 3: take care of its animals does not take care of
2:31
Speaker 3: its people. How many homeless and emotionally disturbed persons that
2:35
Speaker 3: I see today on the way to the studios of
2:37
Speaker 3: wo or more that I could count on my fingers
2:40
Speaker 3: and toes. Let that be said, And then the hawk
2:46
Speaker 3: is talking out there. It's cold. I want to give
2:50
Speaker 3: a shout out to the Guardian Angels because they were
2:53
Speaker 3: at Coney Island yesterday for the annual polar Bear plunge.
2:58
Speaker 3: Thousands on the beach who went running in to the surf,
3:04
Speaker 3: some of them suffering from exposure. But hey, they were
3:09
Speaker 3: out there. I gotta tell you that they were not
3:14
Speaker 3: talking politics. They were saying, the hawk is talking. It
3:19
Speaker 3: is cold out here, and yet they made the annual plunge. Meantime,
3:27
Speaker 3: we might as well play from all the sad sack
3:31
Speaker 3: reports of the inauguration yesterday at City Hall of Zorhan.
3:37
Speaker 3: You know, ri Em, it's the end of the world
3:39
Speaker 3: as we know it. Oh, it's over, My god. How
3:45
Speaker 3: many months of a campaign did we have where Zorhan
3:48
Speaker 3: was out there every day, every day? Right, He whopped
3:54
Speaker 3: Cuomo in the primary, he beat me in Cuomo in
3:57
Speaker 3: the general election. And yet people were shocked because all
4:03
Speaker 3: of a sudden he gave a speech after he took
4:07
Speaker 3: the oath on a Quran. Oh that's it, at the
4:11
Speaker 3: end of the world. We'll get into that momentarily. Some
4:15
Speaker 3: of my friends were like, freaking out, a Koran. You
4:18
Speaker 3: know what that means, Curtis, Well, what does that mean?
4:20
Speaker 3: Tell me, Well, let's get to what he actually said.
4:27
Speaker 3: He said, I was elected as a democratic socialist and
4:31
Speaker 3: I will govern as a democratic socialist. Shocking right. He
4:35
Speaker 3: said that every step of the way, all through the campaign,
4:38
Speaker 3: were you not listening? Were you not listening? Well, let's
4:44
Speaker 3: face it, most New Yorkers have no idea what a
4:47
Speaker 3: communist is a socialist. If I took one hundred people
4:50
Speaker 3: put them up along the wall, they have no idea.
4:53
Speaker 3: A socialist is not a communist. Okay, It's almost like
4:56
Speaker 3: I have to take everybody to school. And then naturally
5:01
Speaker 3: when Bernie the out the Coca Sanders graduate of Madison
5:06
Speaker 3: High School not far away sitting there, shiver me, Timbers,
5:10
Speaker 3: was Chuck E Chees, Schumer, schmuck, the Putts who got
5:14
Speaker 3: up halfway and left. He went to Madison High School.
5:18
Speaker 3: I can run down a whole litany of people went
5:20
Speaker 3: to Madison High School. What Bernie Brooklyn boy went to
5:23
Speaker 3: Brooklyn College. You know the rest of the story. So
5:26
Speaker 3: he swears him in on the frigid steps of city Hall,
5:30
Speaker 3: and then the crowd start screaming tax, the ridge tax,
5:33
Speaker 3: the ridge tax, the ridge. Isn't that what Zaran said
5:38
Speaker 3: all dren the campaign and said, he said, I don't
5:41
Speaker 3: even believe there should be billionaires. Are you forgetting that?
5:48
Speaker 3: People elected this guy on three issues, freeze the rent
5:54
Speaker 3: city buses, for free universal childcare, all right, and he
5:58
Speaker 3: engine all of them yesterday. Now. Meantime, while everybody was
6:04
Speaker 3: determining that this is it, it's over, people were like
6:09
Speaker 3: getting in touch with me. And see, wait a second,
6:12
Speaker 3: I'm reading the New York Post. Here it says that
6:15
Speaker 3: you made a surprise appearance at Mandami's inaugural block party.
6:20
Speaker 3: That's right, because I wasn't invited with the elites at
6:22
Speaker 3: city Hall. I certainly wasn't invited like Eric Adams, who
6:28
Speaker 3: one moment people may boom me. I don't know if
6:32
Speaker 3: they want to be there. Oh god, what a crook.
6:35
Speaker 3: The best thing about the dropping of the ball, I mean,
6:39
Speaker 3: the absolute best thing was the way Andy Cohen went
6:45
Speaker 3: off on him with Anderson there Anderson Cooper and just said,
6:52
Speaker 3: get out of here, you cook, your corrupt, You're horrible.
6:55
Speaker 3: I mean, he just went off. I thought we could
6:59
Speaker 3: revive a game, you know, instead of the Wheel of
7:02
Speaker 3: Fortune you or by merv Griffin with Pat Sajack and
7:07
Speaker 3: Vana White. I think came about in seventy five, although
7:09
Speaker 3: I think the first host, correct me if I'm wrong,
7:11
Speaker 3: was Chuck woolry. I think could be wrong. I didn't
7:16
Speaker 3: ask for you, is he man? Just stop patronizing me,
7:19
Speaker 3: do me a favor? Huh? That really bothers me. And
7:23
Speaker 3: we could call it the wheel of corruption. City Hall
7:26
Speaker 3: for sale under Eric Adams as he left twenty nine
7:32
Speaker 3: indictments right either members of his administration, top aids, allies, donors,
7:40
Speaker 3: including himself, and he's in moaning and going on and
7:45
Speaker 3: do nothing wrong. Well, you know, I don't generally like
7:48
Speaker 3: Andy Cohen. Obviously he had been bending his elbow, he
7:54
Speaker 3: was half in the bag. But I give him the applause.
7:57
Speaker 3: Thank god. That is the best thing getting rid of
8:01
Speaker 3: the crook Eric Adams. And by the way, I warned
8:05
Speaker 3: everybody when I ran against him at twenty twenty one,
8:08
Speaker 3: is he You were there, You remember at the time
8:10
Speaker 3: I said, this guy's a crook and this guy is
8:15
Speaker 3: corrupt and we will have chaos. Was that wrong? They
8:20
Speaker 3: had a survey on his way out. It said zero
8:23
Speaker 3: percent of all those surveyed said he did nothing good.
8:28
Speaker 3: I would give him, on one credit, the best night
8:33
Speaker 3: light mayor we've ever had since Jimmy Walker, because that's
8:37
Speaker 3: all he would do is go to a nearby club
8:39
Speaker 3: to the break of dawn. It didn't matter what burrow
8:42
Speaker 3: until four in the morning. Him and Jimmy Walker had that.
8:45
Speaker 3: By the way, if you're watching any movies, you watch
8:49
Speaker 3: the Bob Hope movie about the other corrupt mayor Jimmy Walker.
8:52
Speaker 3: Really good performance. And that's the white version of this
8:57
Speaker 3: swaggerman with no plan Eric Adams. Ooofa. That made me
9:02
Speaker 3: feel good. But then all of these people say, how
9:06
Speaker 3: come you went? How come you stood in line with
9:09
Speaker 3: all the Zorinistas. Because I don't just base what I
9:13
Speaker 3: say on what I hear in the news or I
9:16
Speaker 3: see on TV or I scrolled to. I like to
9:20
Speaker 3: be there in person. And so I came out of
9:23
Speaker 3: the subway and I was online with all the Zorinistas. Yea,
9:28
Speaker 3: the people who elected Mandami Meyer, not the elites at
9:33
Speaker 3: city Hall. And I waited my turn to get in
9:36
Speaker 3: and watch. I was online at twelve. Didn't get into that.
9:41
Speaker 3: What they called that, I guess they said it was
9:44
Speaker 3: going to be a block party. There was no no
9:46
Speaker 3: real party, poorly organized. I didn't get in till two thirty,
9:50
Speaker 3: that's how long the lines were. And oh boy, people
9:54
Speaker 3: were saying, how come. All these Zorinistas were hide fiving
9:57
Speaker 3: you because they under stud I'm standing out there with
9:59
Speaker 3: all them, you know, like a real person, not up
10:05
Speaker 3: in the suites in the streets like I always am,
10:07
Speaker 3: subways in streets and having a lot of conversations all
10:10
Speaker 3: city and State. Was that they can believe it, big
10:14
Speaker 3: article on the Wall Street Journal, Q and A with me.
10:17
Speaker 3: You know at the end of the year, if you
10:19
Speaker 3: get a chance, you gotta read these really good But
10:23
Speaker 3: the main thing is I was saying to h those
10:27
Speaker 3: who hates or On and a lot of my fellow
10:30
Speaker 3: Republicans who are attacking. In fact, this was some of
10:34
Speaker 3: the really crazy stuff Curtis to disease are On and
10:39
Speaker 3: his wife rom the night before. You saw how they
10:42
Speaker 3: went down into that subway that's underneath City Hall, the
10:45
Speaker 3: first subway ever created in a vast subway system. That
10:49
Speaker 3: is really an architect who will wonder he's got the
10:52
Speaker 3: terror courtA Tiles brash shand of Lee is to say,
10:56
Speaker 3: distinctly European appearance. I actually him credit. Remember the other
11:01
Speaker 3: day I said, Wow, if I had been lucky enough
11:04
Speaker 3: to been elected mayor, I would have never thought of that. Good, good, idea.
11:09
Speaker 3: So that's where he had his original swearing in. Once
11:11
Speaker 3: the ball dropped in Times Square. Do you know what's
11:14
Speaker 3: happened since people come up to me and they say, oh, man,
11:18
Speaker 3: you know he got sworn in on the Koran. I said, yeah,
11:22
Speaker 3: he's a Muslim. Did you you find that surprising? He
11:25
Speaker 3: said that every day of the way. I think he
11:29
Speaker 3: visited every mosque in the five boroughs. Surprise, surprise. Yeah.
11:34
Speaker 3: But by him being sworn in down in that subway tunnel,
11:38
Speaker 3: it was a secret message to Hamas that I got
11:43
Speaker 3: your back, that I support you. I said, you really
11:46
Speaker 3: believe that crap? Oh yeah, yeah, it's all subliminal. It's messaging.
11:51
Speaker 3: I said's just a great location, a great venue. Oh no, no,
11:55
Speaker 3: you don't. You don't understand chritis. I said, well, let
11:58
Speaker 3: me get back to this whole like of being sworn
12:01
Speaker 3: in on a Qur'an. I said, you realize that we've
12:05
Speaker 3: had presidents who are not sworn in on a Bible.
12:09
Speaker 3: In fact, they weren't sworn on any religious book. What
12:16
Speaker 3: I remembered, you folks out there can correct me wrong
12:20
Speaker 3: if I'm wrong, because you know I will admit when
12:23
Speaker 3: I'm wrong. I will fess up when I mess up,
12:26
Speaker 3: and feel free to do so, because that's really what
12:28
Speaker 3: talk radio is. It's your turn to be heard. Eight
12:31
Speaker 3: hundred three two one zero seven ten eight hundred three
12:35
Speaker 3: two one zero seventy ten. If I remember from my
12:39
Speaker 3: history lessons, Thomas Jefferson ever got sworn in as president
12:44
Speaker 3: on a Bible. The guy who followed them, John Quincy Adams,
12:49
Speaker 3: he believed separation of church in state. He got sworn
12:52
Speaker 3: in on a book of laws. He refused to be
12:55
Speaker 3: sworn in on a Bible. Franklin Pierce, another president of laws.
13:00
Speaker 3: I'm not being sworn in on the Bible. And Calvin Coolidge,
13:05
Speaker 3: one of our worst presidents, was a Puritan, and he said,
13:09
Speaker 3: I'm not being sworn in on a Bible. Yeah. But
13:12
Speaker 3: Curticiz's different. He was sworn in on a Koran. He's
13:18
Speaker 3: a Muslim, and anybody voting for him not realize he
13:21
Speaker 3: was a Musclim. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But Curtage, this is
13:28
Speaker 3: not right. I said, excuse me, Do I not remember
13:33
Speaker 3: a visit that Johann Mandami took to the White House?
13:36
Speaker 3: You remember that visit? Right? Oh? Man? Now, Cami Mandamie,
13:40
Speaker 3: I can't wait to take all the money from the city.
13:43
Speaker 3: You can't be electing this guy, this communist, right, Remember
13:47
Speaker 3: it wasn't Trump saying that like every day, and then
13:51
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I love fest. A love fest
13:55
Speaker 3: was like Barney, I love you, you love me. Oh,
13:59
Speaker 3: we're gonna be helping him. We agree on a lot
14:03
Speaker 3: more than I thought. I think he'll do a great job.
14:07
Speaker 3: I'd be comfortable living in New York City with Mondamie
14:10
Speaker 3: is Maya who said that Donald Trump. Oh, they're the best,
14:17
Speaker 3: the best. He's gonna be fine. Hey, Zoon, you wanna
14:22
Speaker 3: call me a fascist, don't worry, call me a fascist.
14:26
Speaker 3: We got played ladies and gentlemen. And so when I
14:30
Speaker 3: turned to Maga people and Republicans, I say, you know,
14:33
Speaker 3: the president is embracing By the way, did the President
14:35
Speaker 3: put out a tweet on truth social condemning Joran Mondamie's
14:41
Speaker 3: swearing in by burning the out the Coca Sanders with
14:44
Speaker 3: AOC they did? He No, he's embraced the guy. Oh no, no, no,
14:52
Speaker 3: But there's a strategy here, Curtis. You gotta understand that
14:57
Speaker 3: he's gonna let Zoron let his guard down. He doesn't
15:02
Speaker 3: really mean it. What do you mean he doesn't really
15:04
Speaker 3: mean it. He said it before the world. Oh you'll
15:09
Speaker 3: see Curtis, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you you you gets like
15:14
Speaker 3: you keep believing that, all right, you keep believing that
15:20
Speaker 3: the President said on November twenty first, in the White House,
15:25
Speaker 3: with zor unerstanding right there, the better he does, the
15:29
Speaker 3: happier I am. And by that, by the way, hours
15:33
Speaker 3: before that, the House of Representatives had passed a resolution
15:39
Speaker 3: denouncing the horrors of socialism. All the Republicans that you
15:43
Speaker 3: hear from here at WOR and other stations, and eighty
15:46
Speaker 3: six Democrats. So you figured that zarn MONDAMMI was gonna
15:53
Speaker 3: catch a verbal beat down, and in fact it was
15:56
Speaker 3: a love fest. So ladies and gentlemen, and don't get
16:00
Speaker 3: on my case. This is what you do to respect
16:04
Speaker 3: the process, the change of one party to another party,
16:10
Speaker 3: one political ideology to another political ideology. That's what our
16:17
Speaker 3: American democracy is about. So I didn't get invited to
16:22
Speaker 3: the inauguration. I just showed up to the block party
16:27
Speaker 3: so I could share some of my experiences with all
16:29
Speaker 3: of you and see for myself. Because I challenge authority.
16:35
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's Trump Zorhan, Democrats, business leaders,
16:40
Speaker 3: cultural leaders. I don't just repeat and regurgitate whatever I
16:45
Speaker 3: hear from the people I like. I challenge authority, and
16:50
Speaker 3: there's nobody out there who's gonna give you a better
16:52
Speaker 3: analysis of what took place yesterday in the freezing cold.
16:57
Speaker 3: And by the way, really didn't matter because most of
17:00
Speaker 3: the zoronista's young millennials gen zas. If they had been older,
17:07
Speaker 3: oh boy, it would have been ice cube. Hell. Our
17:12
Speaker 3: numbers one eight hundred and three to one zero seventy ten.
17:16
Speaker 3: That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
17:18
Speaker 3: While online, I was alerting all these Zorinistas that artificial
17:25
Speaker 3: intelligence is coming for you. We're gonna talk about that later.
17:29
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do my tribute to Bernard McGirt that I
17:32
Speaker 3: used to do every year at WABC that they never do.
17:35
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a radio guy. And we're gonna
17:39
Speaker 3: talk about the crime of the century. Up next, Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
17:45
Speaker 3: I call it crime coin and the biggest Ponzi scheme
17:49
Speaker 3: that has ever existed in American history. And some of
17:53
Speaker 3: you are being lured into it because Trump, who said
17:56
Speaker 3: it was bitcrime at one time, then got all that
18:00
Speaker 3: money from the crypto monsters, and now he's the number
18:03
Speaker 3: one advocate of crime coin one eight hundred three two
18:07
Speaker 3: one zero sevent.
18:08
Speaker 1: Ten Street Smart Straight Talk Curtis leewa guest host for
18:13
Speaker 1: Mark Simone on sevent ten woor.
18:20
Speaker 3: But I tell you, is he stopped glazing me. Huh.
18:23
Speaker 3: Don't patronize me, huh. Now I'm gonna teach everybody something
18:27
Speaker 3: about crime coin aka bitcoin, the biggest Ponzi scheme ever,
18:33
Speaker 3: Bernie Madoff, he can't touch this anyway. The other night,
18:38
Speaker 3: before New Year's Eve, before the ball dropped, they're running
18:41
Speaker 3: across some of these young millennials. You know, they're all
18:44
Speaker 3: into bigcoin. You know they're financial advisors. So let me
18:49
Speaker 3: ask you a question. Who created crime coin aka bitcoin?
18:54
Speaker 3: I don't know. Sato Shi Nakamoto, Hi Hi hi Ho
19:00
Speaker 3: Shi na Kamoto. I didn't know that. You know, nobody
19:04
Speaker 3: ever saw this guy. They claim he created this electronic
19:08
Speaker 3: care system mind like one million bitcoin, and then all
19:15
Speaker 3: of a sudden, nobody hears from them, nobody sees them,
19:18
Speaker 3: And in twenty eleven, three years later, he goes, I
19:21
Speaker 3: moved on to other things. Ha moved on to other things.
19:25
Speaker 3: That's a racket. So he created this bitcoin and first
19:31
Speaker 3: blockchain database that pave the way for cryptocurrency and what
19:37
Speaker 3: I call a Ponzi scheme. And right away the FBI
19:42
Speaker 3: and Interpol were warning us that organize international crime is
19:47
Speaker 3: gonna lawn the money through bitcoin and beware this wallet exploitation.
19:54
Speaker 3: And so I'm talking to these folks and yeah, yeah,
19:57
Speaker 3: but it's the coming way. Man. You can make a
20:00
Speaker 3: lot of money. Ponzi schemes make a lot of money too.
20:04
Speaker 3: Remember Bernie Madoff and Sam Blake Minfried. Remember the guy
20:10
Speaker 3: who looked like he fell out of his bunk, that
20:13
Speaker 3: FTX boy who is in prison, but no doubt he's
20:16
Speaker 3: probably gonna try to seek a pardon like the guy
20:19
Speaker 3: who funded him into business originally. And this is what's
20:24
Speaker 3: got my blood boiling with Donald Trump now, who at
20:28
Speaker 3: first used to call bitcoin crin coin, used to say
20:34
Speaker 3: it was a scam, it was a Ponzi scheme, And
20:37
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, he has become the first crypto president.
20:40
Speaker 3: He's ended regulations, he launched a trump Coin, He's linking
20:45
Speaker 3: crypto to the stock market world, liberty financial Oh boy, well,
20:54
Speaker 3: all this money borrowing for crypto and then there'll be
20:58
Speaker 3: a crash and then and everybody will say that's what happens.
21:03
Speaker 3: It's a gamble on Wall Street. No, no, no is
21:07
Speaker 3: a difference. It was this guy Jao who actually put
21:14
Speaker 3: Sam Bankman Freed into business at FTX. He's the richest
21:19
Speaker 3: man in crypto. He admitted to a federal government that
21:24
Speaker 3: he did money laundering that allowed terrorists and other criminals
21:28
Speaker 3: to move money on finance. They sent him to jail,
21:33
Speaker 3: and guess who pardoned him, Donald Trump, the crypto president
21:41
Speaker 3: who owns his own crypto empire with his family. And
21:47
Speaker 3: it's now called what is that, liberty, liberty world, liberty,
21:51
Speaker 3: financial outrage. Oh you can't say that, Yes, I can
21:58
Speaker 3: come on. Any of you out there, know this is
22:01
Speaker 3: a Ponzi scheme. People are gonna be lord in now
22:05
Speaker 3: that the president and his family are all involved, and
22:09
Speaker 3: you know they're giving their sanctifying it, and they're gonna
22:12
Speaker 3: be investing money, and then the crypto criminals are gonna
22:16
Speaker 3: rip them off. In fact, they're gonna use what they
22:20
Speaker 3: call a wrench attack. The thief enters your house or
22:24
Speaker 3: your place of business. It's like being hitting ahead with
22:27
Speaker 3: a wrench until you give up the password. You know
22:30
Speaker 3: what that is? You have any ideas? He study up
22:34
Speaker 3: on it, because your generation is getting all geeked up,
22:37
Speaker 3: you know. Oh yeah, Bitcoin douche coin. Yeah, so these steams,
22:45
Speaker 3: many of them degenerate gamblers because they're young, and you know,
22:48
Speaker 3: they're on FANDU and they're gambling away money they don't have.
22:52
Speaker 3: There's still millions from bitcoin users. They empty their crypto wallets,
22:59
Speaker 3: they under the money and then they laugh about it.
23:03
Speaker 3: But are you being told about that? Ladies and gentlemen,
23:06
Speaker 3: do you ask about that? Do you challenge authority? Do
23:09
Speaker 3: you say, why is the most powerful man in the world,
23:12
Speaker 3: the President of the United States and his family, getting
23:16
Speaker 3: involved in his business that appears to be by anyone
23:23
Speaker 3: looking at it, a Ponzi scheme. Oh but you can't
23:26
Speaker 3: say that, Yes I can. I'm an American citizen. I
23:29
Speaker 3: have a right to challenge authority, as all of you should.
23:34
Speaker 3: And when I'm giving the opportunity to do talk radio,
23:36
Speaker 3: I don't do talk radio like everybody else. You know,
23:39
Speaker 3: they get their talking points, whether they're on the left
23:41
Speaker 3: of the right, God forbid, they actually question their gods.
23:45
Speaker 3: Zorhanmandamis he's now you know he's going to a form
23:51
Speaker 3: of idolatry, Donald Trump idolatry. You dare question anything that
23:58
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense? Oh you're a call me whatever you want,
24:04
Speaker 3: because I am Curtis Leewer. And when he doesn't sound
24:08
Speaker 3: right and it looks crooked, look at Eric Adams, the
24:14
Speaker 3: most crooked mayor of all time. And I told you
24:18
Speaker 3: about that when I ran against him in twenty twenty one.
24:21
Speaker 3: And thank god Andy Cohen when the ball dropped in
24:24
Speaker 3: Times Square, reiterated that I get the hell out of here.
24:29
Speaker 3: Eric Adams. He has left a stain on the soul
24:33
Speaker 3: of this city. And I told you about that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:39
Speaker 3: It's I'm on, dummy. I was elected as a democratic
24:43
Speaker 3: socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist. Isn't
24:47
Speaker 3: that what He's at every step of the way. Shocked?
24:50
Speaker 3: And the President has said nothing, but it stole his virtues.
24:56
Speaker 3: Wake up. I number's one eight hundred and three two
25:00
Speaker 3: one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred three two
25:03
Speaker 3: one zero seven ten.
25:04
Speaker 1: Talk Radio with Street Crag literally Curtis Sliwad joined sevent
25:10
Speaker 1: ten wor to guess those from Mark Samos.
25:15
Speaker 3: It's right. You know you have guests or callers. I
25:18
Speaker 3: don't want them glazing me either, you know, patronizing me.
25:22
Speaker 3: Really what you want as a guest who is an adversary?
25:25
Speaker 3: And then you have a discussion likewise with callers who
25:30
Speaker 3: needs this Barney talk all the time? I love you,
25:32
Speaker 3: you love me? You know. You go to MSNBC, it's
25:36
Speaker 3: all the same people. It's like they're in their court,
25:39
Speaker 3: acquire same thing Fox News Channel. The whole idea is
25:44
Speaker 3: you get different points of view and you come to
25:47
Speaker 3: your own conclusion. What's wrong with that? Oh no, it's
25:51
Speaker 3: got to be all I love you, you love me. Get
25:54
Speaker 3: out of here. That's that's not Curtis Sleeverer. Anyway, let's
25:57
Speaker 3: go to the phones. First up, it's in Brooklyn. Your
26:02
Speaker 3: turn to be heard here on sevent ten wor Curtis.
26:07
Speaker 4: I just want to tell you from that other station
26:10
Speaker 4: they censored me, going back to the month of October
26:14
Speaker 4: when they started to ramp up their rhetoric against you.
26:17
Speaker 4: I think you know who I am, and I was
26:20
Speaker 4: one of your biggest cheerleaders, not only on that station
26:24
Speaker 4: but everywhere. They would not take my calls. I tried
26:28
Speaker 4: to point out to everyone. I did a deep dive
26:31
Speaker 4: into the details of all of these so called polls,
26:36
Speaker 4: and I explained to them how there was no way
26:39
Speaker 4: that Cuomo could ever win that election, and because of that,
26:42
Speaker 4: they stopped taking my calls and I stopped listening to
26:45
Speaker 4: that station.
26:45
Speaker 3: Good good, Well, let me tell you, Jacqueline, for many
26:48
Speaker 3: of you, and I know you're out there because you
26:50
Speaker 3: come up to me all the time. You're texting me,
26:55
Speaker 3: you're sending me emails, all of that. Good. Hey, you
26:58
Speaker 3: don't need to go back to that back and Curtis stuff.
27:02
Speaker 3: You stay right here seven ten w what right? You
27:05
Speaker 3: got enough good talk here to satisfy your needs. Don't
27:11
Speaker 3: be a massive kiss and go back there. By the way,
27:13
Speaker 3: updates when I do my tribute to Bernard mcgirka, they
27:16
Speaker 3: never do with WABC any longer. Is that the guy
27:20
Speaker 3: in the morning, you know, Sid Tessio. He's planning to
27:24
Speaker 3: move to Florida. Oh yeah, yeah, they're hurts you a
27:29
Speaker 3: get right there out of here. They're not gonna stay
27:33
Speaker 3: and fight. No, no, no, no, they don't believe improved.
27:35
Speaker 3: Don't move. They want out. Look, you're free to go.
27:41
Speaker 3: This is the greatness of America. If you're not happy
27:44
Speaker 3: in our trach state area here or anywhere you move around,
27:47
Speaker 3: it's called migration. It's what's made America great. I don't
27:50
Speaker 3: fault any of you if you do that. I've chosen no, no, no, no,
27:55
Speaker 3: I improve, I don't move. I fight for what I
27:57
Speaker 3: know is right. Unsure. I'm ondami is going to initiate
28:00
Speaker 3: ate something that I'm in opposition to with others. It's
28:03
Speaker 3: to the barricades, right out of them? Me? Is that
28:05
Speaker 3: up to the barricades? See got a place you can come.
28:11
Speaker 3: They don't need to go to WABC, always bashing Curtis
28:16
Speaker 3: and obviously where the talk show hosts and hostesses are
28:22
Speaker 3: all preparing to abandon ship. Oh I know I have
28:26
Speaker 3: it on good authority. Let's go to Russ who's calling
28:29
Speaker 3: from White Plains. Your turn to be heard here at
28:34
Speaker 3: WABC lost toys down there? Did they not know that
28:39
Speaker 3: you sacrificed an Ivy League education for freedom from Jackson Tis?
28:44
Speaker 3: I mean, Curtis your crusader. Oh stop placing me. Here's
28:49
Speaker 3: another one patronizing me. I did not sacrifice an Ivy
28:53
Speaker 3: League education. Let's get the record straight. I was going
28:58
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn Prep. I was a senior there. Jesuit High
29:02
Speaker 3: School was the last year they were open, seventy two.
29:05
Speaker 3: I was the student government president. We took a pleb
29:10
Speaker 3: site not to wear the jacketson ties, which were part
29:13
Speaker 3: of the tradition. I tried to enforce the plever site.
29:18
Speaker 3: The Jesuit's warned me, say, there will be consequences for
29:21
Speaker 3: your actions. Why do you think your mom and dad
29:24
Speaker 3: and other parents worked so hard so their kids can
29:27
Speaker 3: come and get a good Jesuit education. Part of it
29:30
Speaker 3: is the discipline of wearing a jacket in tie. But hey,
29:34
Speaker 3: as in the sixties the counter culture, don't trust anybody
29:38
Speaker 3: over thirty. Challenge authority, as I always dot. But the
29:44
Speaker 3: best lesson that I ever got taught was there are
29:48
Speaker 3: consequences for your actions. Uh. The headmaster was a guy
29:55
Speaker 3: named Father Alexander. It was a prefect of discipline. Always
30:00
Speaker 3: hated me. They marched me to my locker. I had
30:04
Speaker 3: a clearer out. I thought everybody else would join me,
30:07
Speaker 3: right to a walk out. They looked at me as
30:11
Speaker 3: if I was a member of the Leper college. And
30:13
Speaker 3: I never heard from any of them. And I headed
30:17
Speaker 3: home to Canarsy and I never looked back, never looked back.
30:22
Speaker 3: Spent a few weeks in Canarsie High School, pretty good
30:25
Speaker 3: local high school, but that was it. I had it
30:29
Speaker 3: one out, started working. I was pumping gas, packing shelves
30:34
Speaker 3: at NAP and A and P, and then ended up
30:37
Speaker 3: going up to the Bronx where I became the night
30:39
Speaker 3: manager of Mickey D's. And that's where I started the
30:42
Speaker 3: Guardian Angels. So I never finished high school technically, never
30:45
Speaker 3: got a GED. I did have a partial scholarship that
30:50
Speaker 3: was being offered to me from Brown in Providence because
30:54
Speaker 3: they had just set up an environmental studies program. I
30:58
Speaker 3: had started some of the first recite kling centers all
31:01
Speaker 3: over the country, although right there in Brooklyn, and they
31:06
Speaker 3: wanted to give me a half scholarship, which I probably
31:09
Speaker 3: would have taken if I graduated. But I my decisions
31:18
Speaker 3: caused me to suffer the consequences. And this is what
31:22
Speaker 3: you have to learn and teach your children and grandchildren
31:25
Speaker 3: growing up. And sometimes you have to learn the hard way.
31:28
Speaker 3: There are consequences for your actions, and that's the way
31:34
Speaker 3: it should be. Let's go to Leonora's calling from Connecticut.
31:37
Speaker 3: Your turn to be heard on what I Hope is
31:39
Speaker 3: your favorite station seven to ten w or Leoni.
31:45
Speaker 5: It absolutely is, especially now that you're on it. Curtis,
31:48
Speaker 5: I just want you to know I checked out for
31:50
Speaker 5: the holidays. I didn't know where you were when I
31:53
Speaker 5: put on War, and there you are. I freaked out.
31:56
Speaker 5: I can't believe it. I'm thrilled you' here in. Anybody
31:59
Speaker 5: who's who was pissed off that you didn't drop out
32:01
Speaker 5: of that race can go spin because anybody who knows
32:05
Speaker 5: you knows that you are not going to back down.
32:07
Speaker 5: And I'm proud you didn't. Mcdonmie was gonna win no
32:10
Speaker 5: matter what. Cuomo was never gonna take it. I don't
32:13
Speaker 5: care who was paying him or what was going on.
32:15
Speaker 5: Mcdonmie was gonna take it. And I am proud you're
32:18
Speaker 5: on w O War And I'm so excited to start
32:20
Speaker 5: my new year out this way. So keep it going, Curtis.
32:23
Speaker 3: All right, Well, remember remember Leonora. For everyone who's just
32:26
Speaker 3: listening now, I'm only here's upstanding for Mark Simon, the
32:29
Speaker 3: best in the business. I mean, this guy's the smooth operator.
32:33
Speaker 3: All right. I've worked side by side with Mark Simon.
32:37
Speaker 3: I competed against Mark Simon. There were none betic, none
32:41
Speaker 3: better than the business and the person who is jumping
32:44
Speaker 3: up and down looking forward to Mark's return on Monday.
32:48
Speaker 3: The fifth is Greg Kelly over at WABC, because I'd
32:52
Speaker 3: walk in. I'd walk into that studio. BB's sitting there
32:57
Speaker 3: snacking off of Mark Simone's shows, taking off all kinds
33:00
Speaker 3: of notes. That's how we would do a show prep,
33:02
Speaker 3: which is a pretty good idea, especially when you're like
33:06
Speaker 3: Greg Kelly and you don't do any show prep and
33:09
Speaker 3: you think you could sit there for three hours and
33:11
Speaker 3: just do a stream of consciousness. Now it doesn't work.
33:15
Speaker 3: So he'd be taking notes, you know, like comedians would
33:19
Speaker 3: be stealing lines from one another. By the way, we're
33:22
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about AI in the next hour, let
33:26
Speaker 3: me quantify it. It's like Joe Biden. It's a plagiarism
33:32
Speaker 3: machine that steals and plunders all kinds of information. So
33:37
Speaker 3: like comedians used to steal from one another, and Greg
33:40
Speaker 3: Kelly steals from the best in the business, Mark Simon.
33:44
Speaker 3: Not they're wrong with Dad. I know you're listening now, Greg,
33:46
Speaker 3: You're disappointed because you the kind of stuff I'm talking about,
33:49
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be picking my pocket. But It's okay. Mark's
33:52
Speaker 3: coming back on Monday. You'll have somebody to do your
33:56
Speaker 3: show prep for you. Up next, gotta pay tribute to
34:05
Speaker 3: one of the greats. I know he's on every Monday
34:09
Speaker 3: with Larry Mente Warner Wolf. Oh, what a great story
34:14
Speaker 3: about Warner Wolf still kicking it down to Fort Myers.
34:19
Speaker 3: And then the tribute to Bernard McGirt that they don't
34:21
Speaker 3: even do a WABC any longer, I mean, the most
34:25
Speaker 3: loyal person ever ever in this thing of ours.
34:31
Speaker 6: Radio Now more with New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis
34:37
Speaker 6: Slaywah guest hosting from Mark Simone on seven ten wo
34:42
Speaker 6: wo oh.
34:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:44
Speaker 3: I look forward a Monday morning when Warner Wolf joins
34:48
Speaker 3: Larry Minty as he does every Monday. I'm down there,
34:52
Speaker 3: I think Fort Myers and Naples, Florida. I remember the
34:55
Speaker 3: last I heard big time from Warner not him personally,
34:59
Speaker 3: but scrolling through I saw the news that Warner Wolf
35:03
Speaker 3: had decided to go out to the sign outside of
35:07
Speaker 3: his home in an uh you know, a compound, a
35:11
Speaker 3: gated community where it was a homeowner's association and take
35:15
Speaker 3: down the sign plantation. He didn't want it, thought that
35:18
Speaker 3: they lived on a plantation. He didn't like the connotation,
35:23
Speaker 3: and they locked him up and he fought it and
35:27
Speaker 3: asked Warner Wolf a great, okay, let's go to the videotape. Well,
35:31
Speaker 3: you need to know about Warner Wolf's He spent many
35:33
Speaker 3: years with him at WABC. That was a tough job
35:37
Speaker 3: getting him over there because he no longer was doing
35:41
Speaker 3: sports on television. Tim McCarthy, who was our general manager
35:46
Speaker 3: at that time, comes to me, I'm doing the morning
35:49
Speaker 3: program with Ron Koby, whose mommy is a coming the
35:53
Speaker 3: predecessor to zoron mondomi. If you want to know anything
35:56
Speaker 3: about zoraon Mondomie, he's ron Coooby. Except now you could
36:03
Speaker 3: get elected Maya saying that back then they'd want to
36:06
Speaker 3: lock you up. But anyway, the point is, Tim McCarthy says,
36:08
Speaker 3: I got a great addition in the morning show, what
36:10
Speaker 3: a Wolf wants to do sports for you guys in
36:14
Speaker 3: the morning. I said, Oh man, it doesn't get any
36:16
Speaker 3: better than that. Oh, ron Koby, Well he'll cut into
36:20
Speaker 3: talk time, I said, trust me, Ron, people would much
36:24
Speaker 3: rather listen to Warner Wolf than you and me, because
36:26
Speaker 3: he doesn't just talk sports. He'll talk about whatever's on
36:29
Speaker 3: his mind. I said, you know, Warner Wolf both made
36:33
Speaker 3: his moans in radio before television. I said, his parents
36:37
Speaker 3: were out in vaudeville. This guy's a great entertainer. No, no, no, Well,
36:42
Speaker 3: eventually I was able to hold sway. Warna joined us.
36:47
Speaker 3: What a great combination, and I will never forget one
36:49
Speaker 3: of the greatest talk radio moments. He's describing how he
36:54
Speaker 3: and his wife had gone on a tour of Europe
36:56
Speaker 3: and I don't know if they were visiting Paris at
36:58
Speaker 3: the time or Vienna. One of those balconies were Hitler,
37:03
Speaker 3: after taking over the country with the Nazis, had come
37:05
Speaker 3: out onto the balcony, and you know there were cheering
37:09
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of Vshi or Nazi sympathizers. And Warner said,
37:17
Speaker 3: I walked out towards the balcony. I could imagine Adolf
37:20
Speaker 3: Hitler standing there, and I had a twenty two, and
37:26
Speaker 3: I walked up behind him and I pulled the trigger
37:29
Speaker 3: and I blew his brains out. I don't care if
37:34
Speaker 3: they would have shot me dead right there his body. Guy,
37:37
Speaker 3: I said, you actually says yes, I've had that that
37:41
Speaker 3: that thought when I was there with my wife and
37:44
Speaker 3: I thought about him many times, if only somebody had
37:46
Speaker 3: done that when this monster was rising up. Man, I
37:52
Speaker 3: was riveting talk radio. It was so good. And then
37:59
Speaker 3: of how, of course his emphasis on sports talking about
38:05
Speaker 3: other issues of the day. I'll never forget. He's up
38:08
Speaker 3: at a gym like fifteen nine Street, Columbus Circle nearby.
38:12
Speaker 3: He lived there, and he'd be working out in the
38:14
Speaker 3: public gym and guess who would come in and work
38:16
Speaker 3: out next one Madonna. Yeah. And the guy was like
38:22
Speaker 3: a Germapholbe. He would never open up the bathroom with
38:27
Speaker 3: his hands. You'd always have tissue paper and toilet paper
38:32
Speaker 3: and you know, bounty towels, just like some of you
38:35
Speaker 3: out there Germa folks. He would never talk on on
38:37
Speaker 3: he doesn't touch it. And if I remember correctly, he
38:40
Speaker 3: said I never drank water. It's like a Drummond Derry,
38:44
Speaker 3: you know, a one hum camel never drank water. What
38:47
Speaker 3: a great personality. Best thing that ever happened to me
38:51
Speaker 3: in radio was bringing Warre a wolf on board, who,
38:54
Speaker 3: by the way, remember had been with Imus in the
38:56
Speaker 3: morning doing sports when the World Trade Center was attacked
39:03
Speaker 3: on nine to eleven, And he didn't lived too far
39:06
Speaker 3: away and he gave great commentary as to what was transpiring. Unfortunately,
39:15
Speaker 3: too many people never were exposed to warn a Wolf,
39:20
Speaker 3: not only in terms of his great ability on television
39:23
Speaker 3: doing sports, but how vaudevillian he was, what a great entertainer,
39:29
Speaker 3: what great stories he could tell, which is everything that
39:33
Speaker 3: makes radio great. It isn't just regurgitating what was in
39:37
Speaker 3: the news. Anybody could do that. It's connecting the dots
39:42
Speaker 3: and relating it to stories that not only you grew
39:46
Speaker 3: up with, but maybe you were personally involved with. And
39:51
Speaker 3: the fact that you can turn to wr and he
39:56
Speaker 3: won a Wolf with Larry MENTI in the Morning is
39:59
Speaker 3: truly blessing of talk radio, because if you're listening to
40:04
Speaker 3: WABC always bashing Curtis, you end up listening to the
40:08
Speaker 3: Eye and Me guy. You know, Sid Rosenberg, it's all
40:12
Speaker 3: about him. He thinks he knows everything about sports. At
40:17
Speaker 3: that time, it was Warner Wolfe who was doing the
40:19
Speaker 3: sports on the I Miss in the Morning Show, and
40:22
Speaker 3: the guy who made that show work was its executive producer,
40:28
Speaker 3: Bernard McGirk. I will share with you some stories up next.
40:32
Speaker 3: I do it. I did it every year when I
40:34
Speaker 3: was at WABC, when he used to be always broadcasting
40:37
Speaker 3: Curtis because they didn't do it, which they should have.
40:43
Speaker 3: This guy knew more about radio, the ins and outs.
40:47
Speaker 3: He would be a consigliary with the guests off I
40:50
Speaker 3: miss when Imus would blow up. He'd booked the guests.
40:53
Speaker 3: He'd read the books. That's why he was a constant
40:58
Speaker 3: reader of books. And he would speak to I Miss
41:01
Speaker 3: in the headphones, and I Miss would repeat what Bernie said,
41:05
Speaker 3: and then I Miss, in a break, would scream unmentionables
41:09
Speaker 3: to Bernie and his staff. Oh yeah, yeah, you don't
41:11
Speaker 3: want to go anywhere. Attribute to Bernard McGirt, one of
41:16
Speaker 3: the great voices in all of talk radio.
