0:00
Speaker 1: You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
0:03
Speaker 1: it all means. Hey, smart simone on seven to TENR.
0:11
Speaker 2: Well, we'll get to the mayor old debate. The final
0:13
Speaker 2: mayoral debate is tonight at seven o'clock. Will go over
0:16
Speaker 2: all the whole thing, and then we'll get to Donald Trump.
0:19
Speaker 2: You won't believe what the Democrats are melting down over
0:23
Speaker 2: this time. We'll get to there's some other races going
0:27
Speaker 2: on here in New York City. You should be where,
0:29
Speaker 2: very very important. We'll get to Johnny Carson coming up
0:33
Speaker 2: a little later this hour, don't miss that. We'll get
0:36
Speaker 2: to Broadway, we'll get to Hunter, we'll get to the
0:39
Speaker 2: next indictments, the awful law fair guys from the Biden administration,
0:44
Speaker 2: one by one going down. We'll tell you who's next. Hey,
0:48
Speaker 2: Tonight is the final mayoral debate. It's it's seven o'clock.
0:52
Speaker 2: It'll be a ninety minute debate. That last one on
0:54
Speaker 2: Channel four was two hours. It was too long. You
0:56
Speaker 2: couldn't After about an hour and a half you couldn't
0:59
Speaker 2: watch anymore. So it'll be a ninety minute debate tonight. Unfortunately,
1:03
Speaker 2: it's on New York One, which has very few viewers.
1:06
Speaker 2: And the other problem with New York One is the
1:08
Speaker 2: most slanted left wing place. In fact, the debate moderator
1:13
Speaker 2: will be Errol Lewis, very nice guy, but you couldn't
1:16
Speaker 2: get more left wing, slanted partisan than Errol Lewis. A
1:20
Speaker 2: lot of people think that's a ridiculous choice, that he
1:23
Speaker 2: should recuse himself. Try to find somebody moderate, somebody neutral
1:29
Speaker 2: to run the debate. So you know they stack these debates.
1:32
Speaker 2: If you watch the Channel four debate with four moderators,
1:36
Speaker 2: three candidates, four moderators, but all of them against you,
1:41
Speaker 2: very very left wing. They you barely let Curtis talk
1:44
Speaker 2: for the first twenty minutes. And then if you're watching
1:46
Speaker 2: debate laters, it's pretty frustrating. Every time we tried to talk,
1:49
Speaker 2: they kept switching subjects, cutting them off. So that could
1:52
Speaker 2: be even worse tonight with the very slanted Errol Lewis
1:57
Speaker 2: running this New York One debate. Now the other problem,
2:00
Speaker 2: who sees New York won nobody anymore? But it'll also
2:03
Speaker 2: be streaming, It'll be online, the clips will go everywhere,
2:06
Speaker 2: so hopefully it'll get some attention. Curtis, you know, he
2:11
Speaker 2: won the last debate everybody agreed on that. The question
2:14
Speaker 2: is did anybody notice? And the problem is, you know,
2:17
Speaker 2: do does anybody really pay attention to these debates? So
2:20
Speaker 2: tonight he's got to He'll do fine, he'll win the debate,
2:23
Speaker 2: but he's going to need some real viral moments, things
2:27
Speaker 2: that go all over the place. He's got to take
2:29
Speaker 2: out Mom Donnie keeps going. Everybody says, what do he
2:32
Speaker 2: keep going after Cuomo? How can you help it? You
2:36
Speaker 2: can't help going after Cuomo. But it is Cuomo in
2:39
Speaker 2: the way. You know, there's all these calls that Curtis away,
2:41
Speaker 2: he's got to drop out. Why doesn't he drop out?
2:44
Speaker 2: Where are the calls for Cuomo to drop out? You know,
2:48
Speaker 2: Curtis has a very little baggage, you know, maybe a
2:51
Speaker 2: carry on Cuomo he's got more baggage than Paris Hilton.
2:55
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be a problem in tonight's debate.
2:59
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to answer for all that stuff. I
3:02
Speaker 2: know people are saying, yeah, but there was a poll
3:04
Speaker 2: that showed if it was just Cuomo and Mam Donnie,
3:06
Speaker 2: you would be tied. And not a poll I would trust.
3:10
Speaker 2: It's a little poll from a polling company. Nobody ever
3:13
Speaker 2: heard of. That's run by Cuomo supporters, So I wouldn't
3:17
Speaker 2: take that. I don't take that poll seriously. But tonight
3:22
Speaker 2: will be the final, the final straw, the final blow.
3:27
Speaker 2: After tonight, there's not much else that could change the election.
3:30
Speaker 2: Early voting starts on Saturday, and a lot of people
3:35
Speaker 2: do that early voting. Sometimes that's half the votes of
3:38
Speaker 2: the early voting. It starts Saturday, it goes for about
3:40
Speaker 2: ten days. The election is two weeks from yesterday, so
3:46
Speaker 2: it's not looking good. Mam. Donnie still has a lead,
3:49
Speaker 2: but these polls have been wrong before. And Curtis is
3:53
Speaker 2: one of these type of guys like Trump in the beginning,
3:56
Speaker 2: who tends to underpoll. In other words, he's actually better
3:59
Speaker 2: than the polls are showing. Cuomo, Well, you got a
4:05
Speaker 2: couple of problems. One, people just can't stand the guy,
4:08
Speaker 2: especially in the political world. He's threatened everybody, you know,
4:11
Speaker 2: that whole bully routine of threatening everybody in the in
4:15
Speaker 2: the in the world, the government wise, you got no friends,
4:18
Speaker 2: no allies. When he left office, he had to leave
4:21
Speaker 2: in disgrace and resign. But when he left he did
4:24
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time there wooing the big donors,
4:26
Speaker 2: which is a group you can easily reach there in
4:30
Speaker 2: the Upper east Side, there in the Hampton's there in
4:32
Speaker 2: Palm Beach, you can run down there, go to all
4:34
Speaker 2: their dinners, hang out with them, win them. He won
4:37
Speaker 2: them over. That's why you see all these big, big, big,
4:39
Speaker 2: big donors backing Cuomo. They are behind him. That's his base,
4:44
Speaker 2: you know, that's the most important thing. Who's your base?
4:47
Speaker 2: That's his base? The big donors. Unfortunately, when it comes
4:50
Speaker 2: to voting, they're only like, there's seventy five of them.
4:52
Speaker 2: It's it's not a lot of votes. And remember they
4:55
Speaker 2: have a track record of being one hundred percent wrong
4:58
Speaker 2: every time, those big donors. Who's Curtis's base, Well, definitely
5:03
Speaker 2: Staten Island, a lot of Queens, a lot of Brooklyn,
5:06
Speaker 2: a lot of working class, a lot of people behind Curtis.
5:08
Speaker 2: Who's a mom Donnie's base. He's got younger voters, they
5:11
Speaker 2: love them. He's got all the left wing Democrats, and
5:15
Speaker 2: they've convinced themselves that it's these oligarchs. If only we
5:19
Speaker 2: could get rid of these oligarchs, everything would be great,
5:23
Speaker 2: it'd be affordable. They kind of works the opposite way.
5:28
Speaker 2: That's the problem with Mom Donnie and those type of socialists.
5:31
Speaker 2: They've never understood the relationship between capitalism and everybody having
5:37
Speaker 2: a good economy, a strong economy. Now, the other problem
5:41
Speaker 2: is with these socialists, they don't really it's not really
5:43
Speaker 2: anything the stuff they claim, they're not even really for.
5:47
Speaker 2: If you're Mom Donnie, you don't live that way. You know,
5:49
Speaker 2: socialists live more like oligarchs. In fact, oligarchs comes from
5:53
Speaker 2: the communist socialist world. So tonight seven to nine thirty,
5:57
Speaker 2: this will be crucial if there's any chance of blooding up,
6:01
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. Verbally it'll be tonight, it's gotta happen. Now.
6:07
Speaker 2: The other thing, you know, Mom Donnie is a good talker.
6:11
Speaker 2: You know, he talks very fast. When you talk very
6:13
Speaker 2: fast and you speak quickly and you talk like, people
6:15
Speaker 2: think he must be very smart. How else could you
6:16
Speaker 2: talk to this fast? And looks good. He's got that.
6:19
Speaker 2: Those eyes look good. He looks sharp, he looks like
6:21
Speaker 2: a dynamic young guy. The problem is, look, he just
6:25
Speaker 2: looks like a salesman. He's clearly not a manager. He's
6:27
Speaker 2: just a salesman. And the problem is for him, maybe
6:35
Speaker 2: even with his base. They don't really deep down think
6:38
Speaker 2: he's authentic or sincere. There's no clarity. You know, He's
6:42
Speaker 2: got these visions of things but no specifics, So there's
6:45
Speaker 2: no authenticity, no clarity. The other problem with Cuomo he
6:49
Speaker 2: used to be a good salesman years ago, but and
6:52
Speaker 2: he was never a manager because as governor, it was
6:54
Speaker 2: a disaster. Disaster. He screwed up the police, he screwed
6:59
Speaker 2: up I'm fighting. He screwed up the nursing homes. I mean,
7:02
Speaker 2: he's just the worst management. That decision to send patients
7:06
Speaker 2: with the virus into all the nursing homes may go
7:08
Speaker 2: down in history. It's the single dumbest management decision ever
7:11
Speaker 2: made in the world. So and nobody looks at Cuomo
7:15
Speaker 2: and thinks authenticity or clarity. You know, he's he did
7:20
Speaker 2: something awful. Now he says it was wrong. I wouldn't
7:22
Speaker 2: do it again. He's flip flopping all over the place
7:24
Speaker 2: on things. So when you look at Curtis, here's the
7:27
Speaker 2: only guy you see with at real authenticity. There's even
7:30
Speaker 2: a Colin in The New York Post today pointing this out.
7:32
Speaker 2: And the post is not for Curtis, but even they
7:34
Speaker 2: point out when it comes to clarity, authenticity, it's only Curtis.
7:39
Speaker 2: So you know, they keeps saying, Curtis, why do you
7:42
Speaker 2: go after Cuomo? Go after Mom Donnie. But on the
7:44
Speaker 2: other hand, I'm listening to Cuomo the last couple of days.
7:47
Speaker 2: He's going after Curtis more than Mom Donnie.
7:49
Speaker 3: Curtis cannot will not be Mayor of New York. He
7:54
Speaker 3: could cause Mandami to be Mayor of New York. Those
7:59
Speaker 3: are his options.
8:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, But who did cause Mam Donnie to be in
8:03
Speaker 2: the league, Well, it was Cuomo. Unfortunately, in the Democratic
8:07
Speaker 2: primary instead of Adams, he had Cuomo against Mom Donnie,
8:11
Speaker 2: and Cuomo was a disaster in that race. He lost
8:13
Speaker 2: both debates, he lost the popular vote by a lot.
8:17
Speaker 2: So if it's Cuomo that gave us Mom Donni by
8:20
Speaker 2: his poor performance in the primary, we got stuck with
8:23
Speaker 2: Mam Donnie.
8:24
Speaker 4: It's not about you. It's not about you.
8:28
Speaker 2: It he keeps going after Curtis.
8:29
Speaker 4: It's not about you. It's not about you, Curtis. It's
8:33
Speaker 4: not about me. It's not about Mayor Eric Adams. It's
8:36
Speaker 4: not about any of us. It's about New York City.
8:40
Speaker 4: That's why we're here. That should be why we're here.
8:45
Speaker 4: And if that's not why we're here.
8:48
Speaker 3: Uh, it's God's way of telling us we shouldn't be here.
8:53
Speaker 3: Curtis cannot will not be Mayor.
8:55
Speaker 2: Of New York.
8:57
Speaker 3: He could cause Mandani to be Mayor of New York.
9:03
Speaker 3: Those are his options.
9:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the real problem everybody thinks Mamdanni would be
9:08
Speaker 2: a nightmare as mayor of New York. The problem is,
9:11
Speaker 2: deep down everybody knows Cuomo could be a disaster. He
9:15
Speaker 2: might do the same crap he did as governor. Remember
9:17
Speaker 2: as governor he was so far to the left, so
9:19
Speaker 2: much left wing woke kind of stuff. It caused the
9:23
Speaker 2: crime wave. He's closed Indian points, screwed up our electric
9:27
Speaker 2: bills are electricity. You could go on and on all
9:29
Speaker 2: the decisions, but through in a position he could have
9:33
Speaker 2: a total nightmare with Mamdannie or a bad dream with Cuomo.
9:37
Speaker 1: I don't know.
9:37
Speaker 2: Here's Curtis.
9:38
Speaker 5: I don't see any sign of a Cuomo campaign other
9:42
Speaker 5: than every day at knowledge him slee wool must drop
9:46
Speaker 5: out or I can't win.
9:48
Speaker 2: Why not wait the white flag now?
9:51
Speaker 6: Yeah?
9:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's another thing. Have you ever seen a
9:53
Speaker 2: race like that where a guy can't get his own votes.
9:56
Speaker 2: He has to beg everybody else to drop out. Yeah,
10:00
Speaker 2: I saw it once. It was in the Democratic primaries.
10:04
Speaker 2: Remember when Joe Biden was one of twelve candidates and
10:07
Speaker 2: he was horrible in the debates and he wasn't winning.
10:09
Speaker 2: You remember, and then they came to South Carolina and
10:13
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party made everybody else drop out of the race.
10:16
Speaker 2: You remember that they made Buddha Jetge drop out. They
10:19
Speaker 2: made Elizabeth Warren drop out, Bernie Sanders, they all had
10:22
Speaker 2: to resign from the race the day before the South
10:24
Speaker 2: Carolina primary so that Joe Biden could win. It worked,
10:28
Speaker 2: they all dropped out and Biden won. But look what
10:31
Speaker 2: you ended up with. So that's whenever you got to
10:33
Speaker 2: make people drop out of a race to get yourself
10:36
Speaker 2: a winner, you end up with a bad, bad candidate. Hey,
10:41
Speaker 2: it happened with Cuomo years ago. He was running for
10:43
Speaker 2: governor and he had the very popular David Patterson out
10:47
Speaker 2: there ready to challenge him, and they made Patterson get
10:50
Speaker 2: out of the race. They had then President Obama get
10:55
Speaker 2: Patterson out of the race so Cuomo could win. I
10:58
Speaker 2: talked to Patterson about this the other day. Farmed it
11:00
Speaker 2: absolutely said it was heavy pressure from the Obama administration
11:04
Speaker 2: that forced him out of the race so Cuomo could win.
11:06
Speaker 2: So he's got a history of this. He can't win,
11:09
Speaker 2: can't go out there and get the votes, but he's
11:10
Speaker 2: got to get other people out of the race. Here's
11:12
Speaker 2: more a curtisy.
11:13
Speaker 1: I am not dropping out under no circumstance.
11:18
Speaker 2: I've already been offered money to drop out.
11:20
Speaker 6: I said no.
11:23
Speaker 3: Distant from that, with threats against Stancy and myself, I
11:26
Speaker 3: now have to have armed security with me former NYPD officers.
11:31
Speaker 2: Never had that in my life.
11:33
Speaker 1: I trust the people they are able to choose the
11:38
Speaker 1: next mayor.
11:39
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, stop arguing about it. Wait till tonight seven
11:42
Speaker 2: to eight thirty. The mayoral debate is tonight seven o'clock.
11:46
Speaker 2: Watched that and then afterwards then you'll know. Then you'll
11:51
Speaker 2: know what's going. I'll have some idea. And again early
11:53
Speaker 2: voting starts Saturday. And now here's another thing, this is
11:55
Speaker 2: very important. Uh, you got to get rid of Alvin Bragg.
11:59
Speaker 2: This is the district attorney who lets all the criminals out.
12:02
Speaker 2: He doesn't put people in jail. It's one reason we
12:04
Speaker 2: have such a bad crime wave. So you got to
12:08
Speaker 2: get rid of Alvin Bragg. There's a woman running against him.
12:11
Speaker 2: She's the Republican candidate. She's really a Democrat, been a
12:14
Speaker 2: Democrat for years, but running as a Republican. She's got
12:17
Speaker 2: a very good track record as a DA she puts
12:20
Speaker 2: criminals in jail. So this could be a big, big,
12:23
Speaker 2: big change. Get rid of Alvin Bragg. Vote for maud
12:26
Speaker 2: merin election day or early voting. If you get Alvin
12:30
Speaker 2: Bragg out of there and get her in there, at
12:31
Speaker 2: least you got some protection against a possible mom Donnie mayoralty.
12:38
Speaker 2: Now President Trump. The Democrats that Trump derangement syndrome is amazing.
12:47
Speaker 2: No matter what he does, they go nuts. He's building
12:50
Speaker 2: a spectacular ballroom at the White House. It needs it,
12:56
Speaker 2: it really needs it. They don't you know that beautiful
12:59
Speaker 2: East Room of the White It can only hold about
13:01
Speaker 2: two hundred people. So when they have these big parties
13:03
Speaker 2: and big events, they have to put a tent on
13:05
Speaker 2: the lawn, so it looks like a wedding in New
13:09
Speaker 2: Jersey with the tent on the lawn. It's not appropriate
13:12
Speaker 2: for the White House. And the other problem is, you
13:14
Speaker 2: know half the time it's raining, it's cold, it's wet,
13:17
Speaker 2: the grass is wet. You can't keep having a major
13:20
Speaker 2: White House event in a tent on the lawn. So
13:24
Speaker 2: he wants to build this ballroom and it's going to
13:26
Speaker 2: be spectacular. It'll hold about eight hundred beautiful ballroom. It's
13:31
Speaker 2: going to extend out the East wing of the White House.
13:33
Speaker 2: So to start this, they have to tear down one
13:36
Speaker 2: of the walls of the East room of the East
13:39
Speaker 2: Wing and attach this. So you've seen the pictures. It's demolition,
13:44
Speaker 2: the wrecking balls, the cranes. They've taken down one of
13:47
Speaker 2: the walls on the east end of the White House,
13:51
Speaker 2: the East Wing, and what's actually there is the First
13:54
Speaker 2: Lady's office. She's had to move to somewhere else temporarily.
13:57
Speaker 2: And this will go quickly because it's Trump who's an
13:59
Speaker 2: expert at construction. It's not like the government building it.
14:03
Speaker 2: And yesterday he was doing a press conference. You can
14:05
Speaker 2: hear the construction going on and you could hear the
14:08
Speaker 2: noise in the distance, and he said, ah, the sound
14:10
Speaker 2: of construction. I love that sound. Well, think about it.
14:13
Speaker 2: We hate that sound. But to a guy who's been
14:15
Speaker 2: a builder all his life, he loves it. Now This
14:17
Speaker 2: is not unusual to tear down something in the White
14:20
Speaker 2: House build something else. Happens all the time, even the
14:23
Speaker 2: West Wing. In nineteen oh two, President Roosevelt added the
14:26
Speaker 2: West Wing. You know Trump is adding a ballroom. It
14:29
Speaker 2: was President Theodore Roosevelt that added the West Wing to
14:34
Speaker 2: the White House. Franklin Roosevelt added a second floor to
14:37
Speaker 2: the West wing. They had relocate the Oval office for
14:41
Speaker 2: a while. Nineteen forty eight, President Harry Truman, no listen
14:45
Speaker 2: to this. Nineteen forty eight, Truman completely gutted the White
14:49
Speaker 2: House interior and rebuilt the whole thing, preserving only the
14:53
Speaker 2: exterior walls. He completely gutted the White House, and it
14:58
Speaker 2: has always been changing. Be a swimming pool in the
15:01
Speaker 2: White House. Nineteen seventy Nixon got rid of it, removed
15:04
Speaker 2: the swimming pool, converted into the press briefing room that
15:08
Speaker 2: you see. He also added a bowling alley. President Obama
15:13
Speaker 2: took away the tennis court. There was a beautiful tennis
15:15
Speaker 2: court there. He got rid of it, put in a
15:17
Speaker 2: basketball court. So things go on all the time like this.
15:22
Speaker 2: It's going to look great, But liberals are all over
15:24
Speaker 2: the place. The left wing online crying emotional about this.
15:28
Speaker 2: A picture of that wrecking ball hitting the wall and
15:31
Speaker 2: the headlines desecration, heartbreaking. What he's doing to the lighthouse,
15:35
Speaker 2: it's going to look spectacular. And those tweets in those
15:39
Speaker 2: posts you're putting up aren't going to age well. So, hey,
15:43
Speaker 2: we'll get to the President wants the Department of Justice
15:46
Speaker 2: to pay him two hundred and thirty million dollars. Now,
15:50
Speaker 2: this will really get these left wing people crazy. He's
15:54
Speaker 2: probably wrong about that. I mean, he's owed something for
15:58
Speaker 2: the whole fake which the Russia hoax, the raid on
16:02
Speaker 2: mar A Lago, which was absolutely disgusting. He's owed something
16:05
Speaker 2: for that, the law fairy, he was put on trial
16:08
Speaker 2: in four cities. What is he owed? I don't know,
16:11
Speaker 2: maybe several million to pay all his legal fees, all
16:14
Speaker 2: his expenses pay. Obviously he's owed that. I don't two
16:18
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty million might be a ridiculous figure, but
16:21
Speaker 2: you know that might be a starting figure. Anyway. Hey,
16:23
Speaker 2: we'll get to Johnny Carson coming up. Don't miss that.
16:27
Speaker 2: We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
16:30
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
16:34
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten, Hey, let's take some calls.
16:38
Speaker 2: Let's go to U Rich and Myrtle Beach. That line works, Rich,
16:41
Speaker 2: How you doing good?
16:43
Speaker 7: Thanks? Mark? You know everything we talk about here, day
16:46
Speaker 7: after day, subject after subject, awfles back to this honesty
16:51
Speaker 7: of the press. The plenty of presents of torn aport
16:54
Speaker 7: the White House for centuries, but it's only Donald Trump
16:57
Speaker 7: that's a criminal about it. It's only Donald Trump this
17:00
Speaker 7: and he's using his own money. It's really unbelievable. All
17:03
Speaker 7: comes back to the dishonesty of the press.
17:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's tough to run a democracy, you're right,
17:08
Speaker 2: without without an honest press, with the totally distorted media.
17:12
Speaker 2: It's some of his own. He's going to put in
17:14
Speaker 2: a couple million, but most of the renovation will be
17:17
Speaker 2: paid for by donors, and so that'll be another that's
17:22
Speaker 2: the next left wing attack. They're going to hit him
17:23
Speaker 2: with that a special interest in oligarchs are buying favors.
17:27
Speaker 2: And again it's done all the time. Every president has
17:30
Speaker 2: done renovation to the White House. Let's go to Mike
17:33
Speaker 2: and Florida. Mike, how you're doing good morning?
17:36
Speaker 8: Mark?
17:37
Speaker 9: Yes, Mike, you played a SoundBite yesterday with Colomo claiming
17:41
Speaker 9: that as part of his platform, he's going to build
17:43
Speaker 9: eighty thousand affordable, how impousing units once he gets elected,
17:49
Speaker 9: and people should be remembered.
17:50
Speaker 6: This is what he did at HUD, and it caused
17:53
Speaker 6: the housing clash that the tooth ere in the early
17:57
Speaker 6: two thousands, and it's something Democrats keep doing every few generations.
18:00
Speaker 6: We call them the projects in the old days. And
18:02
Speaker 6: it doesn't work. And he's just going to do the
18:05
Speaker 6: same thing here, and he's a he's a fraud. And
18:09
Speaker 6: you know, it's amazing that Republicans can't have the guts
18:14
Speaker 6: to get behind Curtis's shame.
18:17
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think Clonmo's a fraud. I
18:19
Speaker 2: think he's actually sincere. He believes he's doing the right
18:21
Speaker 2: stuff all the time, like with this right bail, no jail.
18:24
Speaker 2: I think he's just wrong. He as head of HUD
18:27
Speaker 2: the housing stuff. Many people think he was a major
18:30
Speaker 2: factor in causing the housing crash which almost took down
18:33
Speaker 2: the whole American economy. And as governor, you saw a
18:37
Speaker 2: disaster after a disaster. So he's not a fraud. He
18:40
Speaker 2: just I don't know what it is. He just screws up.
18:43
Speaker 2: He just he's a salesman. He's not a manager. And
18:46
Speaker 2: that's the problem with some people. They can just talk there,
18:48
Speaker 2: they can campaign, but they're not managers. They can't run stuff.
18:51
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joe in Babylon. Joe, how you doing.
18:56
Speaker 5: Good? Mark? I just want to make one point about
18:59
Speaker 5: Curtis was candidacy for mayor as far as his situation
19:06
Speaker 5: as a Republican candidate. From my understanding, he's also running
19:09
Speaker 5: on the Independent line, and it's not being emphasized for
19:13
Speaker 5: those Democrats will not vote for a Republican.
19:18
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think Democrats going to vote for him anyway.
19:20
Speaker 2: I Democrats love Mom Donnie and a lot of them
19:24
Speaker 2: like Cuomo. It's a Republican. It's going to be a
19:26
Speaker 2: turnout election. If you get the eighteen percent model. That's
19:30
Speaker 2: how Deblasio got elected. It was eighteen percent turnout. If
19:33
Speaker 2: you get the eighty percent model, everything changes. That's how
19:36
Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani got elected. Hey, by the way, if you
19:40
Speaker 2: look at the ballot, at the top of the ballot
19:42
Speaker 2: is Mom Donnie. Second is Curtis. Those are the two.
19:45
Speaker 2: You got to really hunt for Cuomo's name. You gotta
19:48
Speaker 2: go down eight spaces to find Cuomo. He's got a
19:50
Speaker 2: problem with his ballot position. Let's go to Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry,
19:55
Speaker 2: how you doing.
19:57
Speaker 8: I'm doing very well, Mark. Could you know it's to
19:59
Speaker 8: share what's had been in New York. It was beautiful.
20:02
Speaker 8: But anyway, may I be allowed to wish good luck
20:05
Speaker 8: to my friend Heather. She's rerunning for a text collector
20:09
Speaker 8: in Greenwich.
20:10
Speaker 2: All right, I wish your love to look and we
20:12
Speaker 2: want everybody in Greenwich. We want everybody to vote for
20:15
Speaker 2: Fred Camillo. He's the mayor. He's a great mayor.
20:18
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, agreed that he's up for reelection.
20:21
Speaker 2: Make sure you vote for Fred Camillo. And who's the
20:23
Speaker 2: who's the tax collector?
20:25
Speaker 8: I'm on the lane for that, you know. And but Heather,
20:28
Speaker 8: she's a very lovely lady and she's she cares for
20:31
Speaker 8: the Greenwich people. Anyway, I want to thank you very
20:34
Speaker 8: much for let me to say that.
20:36
Speaker 2: All right, don't worry, that's fine, We'll send you the bill.
20:38
Speaker 2: But one more, let's go to Sandy in the New
20:40
Speaker 2: York Sandy, what's going on?
20:43
Speaker 10: Good morning? Mark?
20:44
Speaker 7: Yes, Mark, I think about that beautiful ball that Donald
20:47
Speaker 7: Trump is building in the White House.
20:50
Speaker 10: I went to mari Alago once and oh you're one
20:53
Speaker 10: of those.
20:54
Speaker 2: If you go to mar A Lago, it's these women everywhere.
20:56
Speaker 2: They chase every everybody around the room. How are you
21:00
Speaker 2: can I take up? And they take selfies with everybody.
21:03
Speaker 2: That's if you look at the pictures of mile Logo,
21:05
Speaker 2: it looks beautiful, but that crowd. When we come back,
21:10
Speaker 2: we'll take a look at Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson. You
21:14
Speaker 2: look at what's on Late Night today. Oh listen, I know.
21:21
Speaker 2: I was like the Johnny Carson expert. I knew everything
21:23
Speaker 2: you could know about Johnny Carson. Then I started listening
21:25
Speaker 2: to this thing called the Carson Podcast. There's six hundred episodes.
21:28
Speaker 2: By the time I got done, I learned like three
21:30
Speaker 2: million things I never knew. It was the greatest look
21:33
Speaker 2: at Johnny Carson ever done by Mark Malcoff. He interviewed
21:38
Speaker 2: everybody that every celebrity was on the Tonight Shoe Brady worked.
21:40
Speaker 2: It's well, it's turned into a book. The book just
21:43
Speaker 2: came out, The definitive book on Johnny Carson. We'll talk
21:47
Speaker 2: to Mark Malcoff, the author next on seven to ten
21:50
Speaker 2: WR seven ten WRS.
21:54
Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show continues now.
21:59
Speaker 2: Whoa, I still can't find it. We're looking for Mark Melcoff,
22:03
Speaker 2: author of the great New Johnny Carson book. I'm sure
22:06
Speaker 2: he'll turn up. A pretty reliable guy. We couldn't find him.
22:14
Speaker 2: All right, hang on here, let me send him a text.
22:19
Speaker 2: He's not Steve Moore. He's not Steve Moore. We'll get him. Uh,
22:24
Speaker 2: there we go. He wrote this book based on for years,
22:30
Speaker 2: I guess about five six years, he's been doing something
22:32
Speaker 2: called the Carson Podcast. And if you haven't heard it,
22:36
Speaker 2: start listening to it. You'll get addicted. If you love
22:38
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson, if you love that whole world of television
22:42
Speaker 2: and the Golden Age, it's called the Carson Podcast. And
22:45
Speaker 2: he interviewed every big star you can imagine that was
22:47
Speaker 2: ever on The Tonight Show. But even more fascinating are
22:51
Speaker 2: the interviews with all the people that worked on the show,
22:55
Speaker 2: even though people he wouldn't think it'd be interesting, like
22:57
Speaker 2: the guy that held the curtain open. They're fascinating interviews,
23:01
Speaker 2: all sorts of insights and stories behind the scenes the
23:04
Speaker 2: Tonight Show and about Johnny Carson and everything. So after
23:10
Speaker 2: years of this it became so popular it turned into
23:13
Speaker 2: a book and It just came out yesterday. It's called
23:16
Speaker 2: Love Johnny Carson. It's the definitive, full, fascinating story of Carson.
23:25
Speaker 2: What made him so successful? What went on behind the scenes.
23:28
Speaker 2: You love the book. It's called Love Johnny Carson. Get
23:32
Speaker 2: the book. So we still didn't find him, Well that's funny,
23:37
Speaker 2: all right. Well if he doesn't turn up, we'll get
23:40
Speaker 2: him later in the week. But it's a great book.
23:43
Speaker 2: You know, if you read this book, it'll, you know,
23:46
Speaker 2: just make you think about what we're stuck with today.
23:48
Speaker 2: Late Night you got Stephen Colbert, who is just you know,
23:52
Speaker 2: it's like a DNC show every night at eleven thirty.
23:55
Speaker 2: It's kind of an angry, mad kind of a show.
23:58
Speaker 2: And then Fallon started off, all right. He can be
24:00
Speaker 2: funny at times, he can be entertaining at times, but
24:04
Speaker 2: it's just it's not Johnny Carson. It's like it's more
24:09
Speaker 2: like a game show than Johnny Carson. And then you
24:11
Speaker 2: got Kimmel, who nobody knows what that is. Half funny,
24:15
Speaker 2: half angry, just very angry stuff. The Tonight Show was
24:18
Speaker 2: actually created by Steve Allen in nineteen fifty three fifty four.
24:23
Speaker 2: He invented the whole thing, and he when the network
24:26
Speaker 2: gave me assignment, they thought it would be like the
24:28
Speaker 2: Today Show. The Today Show was already a big success,
24:31
Speaker 2: so they wanted to duplicate it, do the same thing
24:33
Speaker 2: at night, call it the Tonight Show instead of Today.
24:36
Speaker 2: And they told Steve Allen, you know, you'll do newscasts
24:39
Speaker 2: on the half hour, you'll do weather reports, you'll do
24:43
Speaker 2: news and feature. He didn't want any of that. He
24:45
Speaker 2: just decided, I'll come out and I'll tell jokes and
24:48
Speaker 2: I'll be funny, and I'll have guests come on and
24:50
Speaker 2: I'll bring out comedians and singers. And at the end
24:53
Speaker 2: of the day, people don't want another newscast. They want
24:55
Speaker 2: to be entertained. So he created the Tonight Show and
24:58
Speaker 2: was a huge, six, huge monster success. It became the
25:02
Speaker 2: hottest thing in TV. It became so big they switched
25:05
Speaker 2: him to a primetime variety show. Then they bring in
25:09
Speaker 2: a guy named Jack Parr, who wasn't that well known,
25:11
Speaker 2: to take over the Tonight Show. And he he's the
25:15
Speaker 2: guy that created the exact format we used today. He's
25:18
Speaker 2: the guy that decided to have a desk, a chair,
25:21
Speaker 2: a couch. He designed the set. It's exactly the same
25:24
Speaker 2: set still being used today. And he's the guy that
25:27
Speaker 2: made it little less of a variety entertainment show and
25:30
Speaker 2: just talk, lots of guests, lots of talk. Carson came
25:34
Speaker 2: along later. Parr was a huge success, the biggest thing
25:39
Speaker 2: in television. He had enormous ratings. She couldn't be bigger
25:42
Speaker 2: than Parr. It was tough for Carson to take over.
25:44
Speaker 2: He struggled for a year or two. First year or
25:47
Speaker 2: two were rough. A lot of people didn't know if
25:49
Speaker 2: he'd make it, but then slowly but surely, gradually took off,
25:54
Speaker 2: became a major, major, major television institution, and stayed thirty years.
26:00
Speaker 2: It was an incredible thing. Then he left. It was
26:04
Speaker 2: never the same since Jay Leno was a big step down,
26:07
Speaker 2: but still a big step up from what we have now.
26:11
Speaker 2: And a lot of people think at some point these
26:15
Speaker 2: shows will just go. You know, Colbert is going to
26:17
Speaker 2: be canceled. He's been canceled. He'll go off the air
26:20
Speaker 2: in I think it's March or is it May, and
26:24
Speaker 2: watch carefully. I don't think they'll replace him. There won't
26:27
Speaker 2: be another talk show. They'll probably they'll run reruns of
26:31
Speaker 2: a game show. You know when they took Kimmel off
26:32
Speaker 2: for three four days, they just put reruns of Celebrity
26:36
Speaker 2: Family Feud. It got triple the ratings that kim will get.
26:39
Speaker 2: So don't think CBS hasn't noticed that. And they're looking
26:42
Speaker 2: to make major cutbacks, so Fallon goes. When Colbert goes
26:48
Speaker 2: off the air, you'll see reruns of primetime dramas or
26:52
Speaker 2: game shows that'll take its place. It'll be down to
26:55
Speaker 2: two late night shows. Kimmel may pick up the whole
26:58
Speaker 2: Colbert audience. That might help help them. If not, don't
27:02
Speaker 2: be surprised if he goes. One thing about Jimmy Fallon,
27:05
Speaker 2: If he's the only one left, he's got the ability
27:10
Speaker 2: to switch from an angry political show to just a
27:13
Speaker 2: fun entertainment show. But they don't have the money to
27:16
Speaker 2: do these shows anymore. You know, I don't know if
27:18
Speaker 2: you know this, but Colbert Fallon, they're not on five
27:21
Speaker 2: nights a week. They're really four nights a week, and
27:23
Speaker 2: they run a rerun the other night. There's big, big
27:27
Speaker 2: cuts coming to CBS is now owned by sky Dance,
27:32
Speaker 2: and it's about to happen, might happen next week. Major, major,
27:36
Speaker 2: major layoffs, thousands of people will be cut there. It'll
27:39
Speaker 2: happen at all the networks. A lot of people don't
27:41
Speaker 2: watch network TV anymore. You know. Network TV's only twenty
27:45
Speaker 2: five million people watching Network TV. Twenty five million. That's it.
27:52
Speaker 2: AM talk radio sixty three million. It's a much, much,
27:55
Speaker 2: much bigger medium. So hey, wait, we didn't find him,
27:57
Speaker 2: Mark Melcoff didn't turn out. That's funny. But get the book.
28:01
Speaker 2: It's a great book. It's called Love Johnny Carson. It's
28:04
Speaker 2: got great pictures in it. Uh, it's everything you everyone to
28:08
Speaker 2: know about that whole era, about Johnny Carson, all that stuff.
28:11
Speaker 2: And uh, well, should we take some calls. Yeah, let's

Speaker 2: at seven o'clock. It's on New York One, which is
30:43
Speaker 2: channel that doesn't have a lot of viewers, and it's
30:45
Speaker 2: not on every cable system. It's only on Spectrum, but
30:49
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be online. It'll be on YouTube. You'll
30:52
Speaker 2: be able to watch it. It's an hour and a half.
30:54
Speaker 2: Last debate was too long. It was two hours. Nobody
30:56
Speaker 2: could nobody could make it to two hours. But this
30:59

31:11
Speaker 2: coming up in the next hour, we'll get the hunter Biden.
31:13
Speaker 2: He's speaking out big mistake. I don't know what he
31:16
Speaker 2: thinks he's going to achieve by all of this, And
31:18
Speaker 2: we'll get back to the mayoral race. We'll get to
31:21
Speaker 2: President Trump, the Middle East, and a whole lot more.
31:25
Speaker 2: Remember Kamala Harris, you remember her, Kamala Harris. The DNC
31:30
Speaker 2: quietly paying her another two million they're trying to pay off.
31:34
Speaker 2: She racked up this huge campaign debt. You know, it
31:37
Speaker 2: was only one hundred and seven days that campaign. Somehow
31:40
Speaker 2: she's think about this, one hundred and seven days. She
31:44
Speaker 2: spent one point five billion, one point five billion, and
31:48
Speaker 2: still ran out of money and is in debt. Apparently
31:52
Speaker 2: the DNC has already paid about twenty million trying to
31:54
Speaker 2: pay off her debt, which is a little questionable for
31:57
Speaker 2: the DNC to pay that. They don't have a lot
31:59
Speaker 2: of care on hand. But they gave her another one
32:02
Speaker 2: point six million yesterday paying off her debt. That's a
32:05
Speaker 2: little weird. Anyway, we got a lot to get to
32:07
Speaker 2: in the next hour. I'm here every day ten to noon,
32:10
Speaker 2: and if you can't listen ten to noon, you can
32:12
Speaker 2: listen anytime day night. Just get the podcast back right
