  Speaker 1: Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis Leewall
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: guest host The Mark Simone Show on sevent tenor I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: had my Christmas present last week substuoting for Mark Simon.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: He's the best in the business. And then I get
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: my pre birthday gift substuting for Mark this week up
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: until the second and that birthday March twenty six. I'll
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: be seventy two, and I know more about New York
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: City and politics and anybody alive. There's no doubt about it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I challenge anybody because I know where all the bones
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: are buried in who buried them, And I don't mince
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: my language. We are going to get into subject matter
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that is of incredible importance to all of you if
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you happen to live within New York State, and the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: same philosophy could be coming to a state where you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: live or near you. Because I've spent incredible amount of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: time since losing the election to Zoran Mondomi, and yes
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: he is the may he won fair and square. He
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is going to have his celebration after he has sworn
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in by Bernie the Out the Coca Sanders, originally from
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn who went to Madison High School, which is also
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: where Chuck Schumer went. By the way, update on Chuck Schumer.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a lot of you are not gonna like it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But the masters of the universe, the billionaires, they just
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: can't stop themselves from getting involved in things they know
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: absolutely nothing about. Big story, we're gonna get into it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in this hour. It's how Elon Musk decides to weigh
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in on the new fire commissioner, who he claims, as
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a result of Zarn Mondami's appointment, that people will die
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: as a result. Now he knows nothing at all about
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: New York City. He happens to see somebody else who
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: posted this, who themselves know nothing at all about the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: history of the fire department and fire commissioners in New
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: York City, and he reposts it, and obviously he's in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: charge of X and he's getting millions of hits like
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: he somehow knows all about this about the only thing
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: he doesn't know is how to put out those fires
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: from his Tesla batteries in his electric cars, because when
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: they go on fire, Oh, it takes hours to put
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: him out. He hasn't even yet figured that out. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that momentarily because he couldn't be more
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: hopelessly wrong. And once again, I'll explain it from a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: historical performance. Most of the fire commissioners of late most
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about those appointed by Eric Adams
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: swaggerman with no plan and I can't.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Wait for him to get get out of here, get
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: out of our lives.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But prior yeah, let's see Bloombert Giuliani think it's nobody's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: even mentioning all the fire commissioners who served for those
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: mayors who had never put out a waste paper basket fire.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But do you think that a guy like Elon Musk,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: who's omnipotent, thinks he knows everything, like all those billionaires
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and millionaires because they've succeeded in business, they're very wealthy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You think he'll apologize, of course not.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: They never do.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Like Trump yesterday, I had to turn it off in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the wee hours of the morning. He's he's standing there
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: with Zelensky and he's saying, yeah, Russia really wants to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: see the Ukraine succeed.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Man, they's no way.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if Russia takes over the Ukraine again, By the way,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Ukraine gave up it's nuclear Arsenal.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They had more nuclear weapons.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Than anyone else other than the United States, and the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: old Soviet Union isn't. Back in nineteen ninety one, Bill
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Clinton was president, he convinced him give up your nuclear payload. Yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: how did that work out? But when all of a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sudden Trump is saying, oh, yeah, Russia. I just spoke
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to Putin earlier today on the phone, Yeah, Russia really
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: wants to see the Ukraine succeed. And I'm like, Zelenski
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: say something.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Of course, he.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Ain'sn't gonna say anything, because nobody can ever challenge Donald Trump.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I believe you challenge authority no matter who's in charge,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and when somebody makes absolutely ridiculous comments, you must challenge it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Like when Trump said that it was the Ukraine that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: started the war.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: How many republic challenge him.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: We're getting into Republican leadership, and how so many Republicans
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: are just afraid to challenge authority at any level, local, regional, state, national,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it's not you know it, don't make a big deal
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: about it. I always make big deals about it because
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I believe you have to question authority, especially when it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, like that ridiculous statement yesterday. Of mar
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: A Lago, where the President says, yeah, Zonski, Russia really
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: wants you to be successful in the Ukraine, and Zelenski,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you bite your tongue, don't say anything, or Trump and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the administration will go on a rampage against you. All right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: put that aside, as you know, I've spent a lot
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of time bisecting and dissecting the fact that Republican leadership
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: here in the state of New York has decided they
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: want a Uni party, they don't want a two party system.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: They have can convince themselves, and they have convinced a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: lot of the Republican registered voters that Republicans cannot win
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a city wide election or a state wide election. Now,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for some of you, you may say, well that that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: sounds pretty personal. It is because I went through that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: from the highest levels of the White House to Elon
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Musk himself soon to be a trillionaire, the world's richest guy,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to a guy named Akman.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Who the hell is this guy? Ackman?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Every day he was tweeting Curtis, you can't win, drop out.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Drop out, drop out travel and you know how that went.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And then in the.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Waning days of the campaign, Republican leaders. Republicans decided a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: vote for Sly is a vote for Mondami vo fa cuomo,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: U Discratsiata in every which way. I mean, we could
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: spend the rest of this program just talking about what
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a disgrace that guy was, because in their minds, there
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: are two parties in New York State. Now there are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: moderate Democrats and there are socialist Democrats, and Republicans don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: have a chance to beat them citywide or in statewide elections.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Now put my election aside. Still with at least the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Phonic we talked about her last week. Suddenly she drops
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: out and says, not only is she dropping out of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a Republican primary against Bruce Plaateman, but she's not going
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to run for reelection in the House. We lose a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: superstar because Republican leadership was working behind the scenes to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: throw her under the bus. You see, as much as
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the President, threw her under the bus. The
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: worst part was is that Alista Phonic had put together
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a campaign team mostly from upstate New York, people that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: she knew, people that she trusted, and the Park Avenue
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: crowd down here, most of whom are not Republicans, but
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they act like they can tell Republicans what to do.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And it's not Park Avenue in Brooklyn and Park Avenue
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx, which they've never traveled to. It's Park
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Avenue in Manhattan. Decided there's nobody from downstate involved in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: at least the Phonics campaign. We're gonna go all on
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: board with Bruce Blakeman because Bruce Blakeman is a winner.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: This is what they said.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And he won very convincingly the Nassau County executive position
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: re election against his Democratic opponent. And then I hear
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: them tell the yeah, and he's a winner. He's a winner.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: If you've been around long enough in politics, you've probably
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: lost more than you won. Remember, Donald Trump was an
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: exception to the rule. Twenty sixteen. He's on the stage
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they announcements the president. He shocked Hillary Rodham. Clinton was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in a fetal position at the Jacob Chavits Convention Center,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: spent maybe a month in a fetal position.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I couldn't accept the fact that she had lost. Very unusual.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm saying, look, I know Bruce Blakeman. I like
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the guy, but let's face it, who would you want
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to be running against Kathy Hockel. I mean, I remember
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman. He ran for state Controller as a Republican
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: ninety eight against Carl McCole loss. He ran for the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Nassau County Legislature ninety nine loss, ran for the US
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Senate special election twenty ten, remember when Hillary decided she
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: would become Secretary of State and he lost the primary
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to Joe the Aguardi. And in twenty fourteen he ran
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for the House and lost to Kathleen Rice. So that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't disqualify him because you know, people say, well, well
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you got all no, no, no, no. If he can run,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he should run. But why did all of a sudden
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you notice people of great influence surround Kathy Hockel, and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we're meeting with her, and they have come to the conclusion.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And I know because people have shared the conversations with
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: me that rather than put all of their fiscal resource
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and support behind Bruce Blakeman, that they're actually gonna work
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: for Kathy Hulkl to get reelected because she'll keep Zora
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Mandami and the Democratic Socialist in check.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, but they figure.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They'll have more control with her because they don't think
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a Republican can win this is coming off the mayoral election.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And by the way, President Donald Trump did Elie Stefaniki disservice,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: throwing her under the bus on a number of occasions
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that led to her unexpected dropping out. Although I kind
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of felt it, I kind of felt it was coming.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And now we have what you're really not going to like,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and that's why we got to stop this. I was
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: at a major gathering of Republicans yesterday.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: In Midtown.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And I broke the news to all of them who
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: had gathered for their holiday party, is that there are
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Republican leaders now, and there are Republican business people Park
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Avenue people who are meeting with Chuck Schumer Despise loath
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: right the lowest of ratings of any major political figure
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in the country. It's down to about twenty eight percent.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And they have come to the conclusion that if he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: decides to run for reelection, and let's face it, all
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: these guys and gals, that's why you need term limits.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It's until death do they part. They'll run forever. Get
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the defibriator next to them. They could be in the ICU.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They want to run. But if Chuck Schumer decides to run,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: already Republican leaders and people, you know, the acmens of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the world, who know nothing about politics. You know, they
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: know a lot about Wall Street, a lot about hedge funds.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: They've done very well in business, but they know nothing
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: about not when it comes to politics because they made
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: all the wrong choices. Are now meeting privately with Chuck
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Schumer and saying, you know, you probably can't win a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Democratic primary if you run like Cuomo, but they'll probably
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: either be AOC running against you in a Democratic primary,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: or if she decides to run for the presidency the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Democratic primary, there'll be somebody else from the socialist wing
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party and you'll lose. But then in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the general election, we'll do like we did for Cromo.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: We'll get Republicans to support you, independence Conservatives, and moderate
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Democrats to stop a socialist from becoming a US Senate.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: He's entertaining that why would they be doing that, because
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they have already cast their lot into a UNI party.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: They don't think that Republicans can win in statewide elections
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: or citywide elections. So they are the masters of the universe.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: They think they know everything, and they know nothing about nothing,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: as you will learn when we discuss the how can
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we be kind to him? The very eccentric Elon Musk,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: who decided to tweet his way into New York politics
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a second time, because remember he had tweeted to his
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: massive following on x A vo for Slee is avomandami
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: vo for Cuomo. Why wouldn't he He got a billion
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: dollars from the Buffalo billion and did nothing up there,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars to do nothing, and seven Cuomo cronies
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: went to jail for that cause he likes Cuomo. But
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: now he's tweeted into something that he knows nothing about
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the Fire Department in New York City. And you will
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: not have heard this analogy from anybody. That's why I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: know where all the bones are buried and who buried them?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Right now on my station at the station that I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: listened to along with Nancy seven ten WR and it
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: should be yours too. Our numbers one eight hundred three
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten one eight hundred three two
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten
