Hour 2: Zohran's criticism of Israel. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: To Mark Simone on, Hey, we got a lot to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: get to this hour. So Mom, Donnie, how did this happen?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: How did we have stuck with this crazy guy with
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: angry acceptance speech like we've never seen before. He held
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a press conference yesterday.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of voters for whom
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the trust comes from the actions that you actually take.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Many have, like you know, I've understandably been disappointed by
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: politics and the promises that have been made by many
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: before me. Now my opportunity is actually to deliver it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Now, that's one of the secrets. He looks good, he's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: got a nice smile, and he talks very fast. You know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: when you talk like this and you keep going in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and talk very quickly, people think you must be very smart. Otherwise,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: how would you talk so fast if you weren't that smart?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: As opposed to Andrew Cuomo, who talks like this, but
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: he's a great salesman, can he actually get anything done?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to show the power of an example
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: here in New York City, an example of what it
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: means to not just diagnose the despair in working people's
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: lives is the cost of living crisis, but to deliver
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: on it. And that's the contrast between myself and President Trump.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see you use those kind of words. He was
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: going to diagnose the despair of the cost of living crisis.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It just sounds good. But you know, this is a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: frightening time for him because this is the first time
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he's ever going to actually have a job. This is
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the first job on his resume. I know he was
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in the legislature, but that assembly, that's like a part time.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: It's not a real job. He's in the Puerto Rico
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: right now, believe it or not. Every year the Democrats
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: here in New York, the Democrats have some sort of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you call it. I guess they
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: would claim it's a conference, a convention. I don't know
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what the hell it is. It's in Puerto Rico. Every
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: year they all go down there for a few days,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a whole weekend in Puerto Rico. They give it some
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: fancy business like name, but it's really just wasting a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: lot of money in Puerto Rico. But what it really
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is all the lobbyists flying down there, all the big
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: lobbyists and donors, and they mingle and mix with these
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: politicians and all kinds of Weasley deals are made down there,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: so Mom Donnie has flown down there to be a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: part of all of this. Now, a lot of business leaders, billionaires,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: all these CEOs, they've been quietly reaching out to him.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: There have been a lot of meetings, conversations. He's trying
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to make peace with them. They're trying to start some
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: kind of relationship with him, you know. Whatever. There's a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: new mayor, the billionaires all have to get to know him.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And what they usually do. The billionaire calls around to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: see who knows this guy, who can set up a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: lunch or dinner or a phone call, and usually they'll
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: find somebody they know who knows them and can arrange
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the luncheon. If not, every billionaire has lobbyists on the payroll.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Big lobbyists are usually very well connected, democratic city hall types,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and they arrange the meeting and then you meet with
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the guy and you try to you know, start a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: relationship with him. Now, some of them were easier than others.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Built Deblasia was the easiest because he was looking for
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: looking for billionaires. He would show up at the Al Smith,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Dion or wherever it was where every billionaire in town
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: would be there he'd just walk right up to me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: You have my cell number, right, No, well, let me
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: give it to you. They know what that man. You
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: call me anytime you need anything, We'll be calling you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: if we need donations. So you can start that kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of relationship with here's more a mom dohnny businesses.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: The city's inability to provide childcare means that businesses often
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: have to provide stipends for that childcare. Right now, the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: absence of universal childcare means that a family will pay
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: around twenty two dollars a year.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: See, it sounds very smart, very smart with his stipends
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and all that, and it's very sounds very academic about it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And one good thing about academic they can never actually
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: make it work in the real world. But again, the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: socialism stuff. The end result of socialism. Whenever they try
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this stuff, it screws up the poor even more and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it really helps the rich. Nobody profits more in these
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: socialist things than the rich, the oligarchs. That's where that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: term comes to. The oligarchs. They all came from these
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: socialist places. You know, like the inflation is coming down
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: slowly but surely, prices are dropping on everything, but they'll say,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and this is what Democrats did in the election. You know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: they may say the price of this is down, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the price of that, but healthcare universities that's way up. Well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: price at universities has nothing to do with inflation. It's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a whole separate thing. And the price of healthcare all
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: has to do with the government taking it over and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: making it inefficient. And you know that sort of healthcare
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is government run inefficiency regulations that drives up that cost.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It's not a direct result of inflation. But how the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: hell did Mom Danny do this? Mom Donnie came out
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. He was an absolutely zero in the polls,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: absolutely the zero. He put together a coalition. A lot
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of it was young young Brooklyn, the gentrifiers, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the queen, all these hipster young Brooklyn people, and there's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a ton of the millions of them, and then a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: lot of the working class of Queens, the poor of queens.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: He put them together and just harnessed all this. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: there were also a lot of backroom deals that followed.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You know, way back then, in the beginning, this is
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: early in the year, he started arranging meetings with the CEOs,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: intimate phone calls all sorts of things. There's a woman
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: named Kathy Wilde who runs the whatever they call that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: partnership from New York. It's like a club for CEOs,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: all the billionaires and CEOs. It supposedly does some kind
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of work. Nobody knows what the hell they do. And
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the people that worked there overpay themselves like crazy. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: she made a lot of the introductions. She introduced them
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of people. They had a series of events
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and then billionaires got to know him. And it wasn't
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that he was trying to win them over, become friends
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and them. He's just trying to calm them down a little.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Then all these young people that got behind Mom Donnie,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he knew how to harness it. And the problem with
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the guy like Cuomo, he's still in the nineteen seventies
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: with bumper stickers and buttons that you wear. Well, that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything one thing about all these young people
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they want a lot of them have a loneliness to them.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know, they are kind of isolated and they're always
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: on their phone. Everything is online. They socialize on TikTok
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but not in person. So Mom
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Donnie started to create events instead of hanging out to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: bumper stickers and campaign buttons. He did a citywide scavenger hunt.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: He did a soccer tournament Coney Island, all sorts of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: events where people showed up and it created a whole
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: social life for them. It also got them organized into
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a movement and they became volunteers. He recruited a lot
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of people that way. While he's doing that, he does
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that CEO charm Offensive met with a lot of people
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: black Rock, Blackstone, all these hedge funds. You're not supposed
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to know this, but while he was wooing all the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: young crazy socialist types, he's meeting with all the CEOs privately,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of them started to develop relations with him. Now, Mom,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Donnie is a child of two very rich people, comes
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: from a rich family, so he's quite at ease with
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: all the billionaires and the CEOs, quite natural at ease
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: with them. And they kind of saw that and they
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: liked that. Now, the problem was Kathy Hokeel was against him.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Hokel was going to do everything to stop him. She
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: did not like him. But after one of those parades,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they went back to the hotel where everybody was headquartering,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and he met privately with Hokele, and he apologized to her.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It was the City Pride parade. He apologized to her
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: from some things he said, really apologizing, so he kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of won her over. She was quite surprised, so she
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: said she would consider endorsing him. She said, I'd like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you to keep Jessica Tish. I want to endorse you,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but you got to agree to keep Jessica Tish And
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he said he would certainly consider that and made it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: sound like he would do that. Then his harsh criticism
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: criticism of Israel made it impossible to win over Bloomberg.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: He tried Michael Bloomberg. They met at Bloomberg's Midtown headquarters
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and it was a good hour. They kind of debated
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: management styles. Bloomberg, you know, Bloomberg was mayor twelve years,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: tried to tell him some things about it. But as
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: much as he tried to get along with Bloomberg, Bloomberg
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: kind of saw through him and kind of saw that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: he wasn't really listening to all this sage advice Bloomberg
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was giving. So Bloomberg got behind Cuomo. Like a lot
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of these billionaires, they decided Cuomo is the guy. Now
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Cuomo was a disaster in the primaries. He was the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: worst debater in two debates. He was just awful, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he was the worst campaign. Hardly did anything, very few interviews,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: no rallies, very few speeches, the lazy, outdated old campaign.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But Bloomberg kept back in him. And then there came
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a point where Bloomberg privately told people he was done
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: with Cuomo, said I wasted eight million on this guy
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in the primary. He just was awful, awful. He just said,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I just threw away eight million on this guy who
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: can't win.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Then he met with Mam Donnie again and he kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of got angry at mam Donni. Mom Donnie said things
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: about Israel he didn't like. So Bloomberg decided to go
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: back at the end last couple of weeks to Cuomo.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg wrote a checks for five million dollars to two
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: big super packs to attack Mam Donni like crazy and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: try to win it for a Cuomo. But this was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: like six days before election day started running all those commercials.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It was way too late, and Cuomo didn't help himself
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: at all. He was just caught himself together the last week.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: But that was about it. Hey, we'll talk to Curtis
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: later this hour. We'll go over all of this. Now,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Curtis being in the race did not interfere with Cuomo.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: If Cuomo had gotten every single Curtis voter, he still
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: would have lost by three points. So he had nothing
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to do with Curtis. But we'll talk to Curtis later.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Now turns out that Curtis talked to him. I'm downey
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: after the election. We'll ask him about that. Are we
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: done with Cuomo once and for all? Everybody's hoping we
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: never have to deal with Cuomo again. Wall Street Journals,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: big article, half a century, fifty years of the Cuomos
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in New York comes to an end. Mario Cuomo for
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: all those years, Andrew Cuomo by his side, his campaign
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: director'll be on the sidelines. Now he'll go back, maybe
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: back into the private sector. You know, before this may
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: all race, Cuomo had his own private consulting firm. He
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: worked as a consultant in his own consulting firm called
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Innovation Strategies. Apparently he made five million in twenty twenty four,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: so five million a year. He'll be very happy. What
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: does he do for these clients? I don't know, high
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: paid consulting work. You know, if you're a former governor,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: former attorney general, supposedly have a lot of expertise and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: connections with the state government, and you can help out
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: businesses and people and make phone calls for him, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of these guys, these billionaires, will pay Cuomo
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: as a consultant just to have him around. He's like
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a celebrity. You can bring to lunch, bring to dinner,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: have him in your office to meet people, that kind
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of stuff. So he'll go back to that most likely,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you probably most people believe will never ever ever see
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: him again as a candidate. And let's hope. But Wall Streets.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You're in an article about the end of all this.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Now they point out Melissa de Rowe, who worked for him.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He thought they had a great chance. There was polling
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: in the beginning that showed him having no chance. She
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: dismissed the polling, didn't think it was real. Then the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: June primary, everything reality came crashing down on them, total loss.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But over the summer, his campaign decided to create a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: new Cuomo. Well, the new Cuomo was exactly the same
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: as the old Cuomo, but they had him making appearances
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of out there meeting voters for the first time, but
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: again and he got good at in the last week,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but it was too little, way way way too late.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: You know, Chuck Schumer, you always give him credit, you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: for being the biggest weasel ever, there's no bigger weasel
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: than Chuck Schumer. So he voted on Tuesday in the election,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and the press, of course, as to who did you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: vote for? He wouldn't say, Look, I voted, That's all
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he said. Look, I voted. I look forward to working
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: with the next mayor. He wouldn't say who he voted for.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine being more of a weasel than that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You're the leading number one Democrat in the state, you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: won't say who you voted for. There's rumors everywhere the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: shutdown will get settled in the next day or two.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We'll see f AA slashing ten percent of the flights
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in forty cities. It's already backed up, it's already a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: mess at the airport. This will make it even worse.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving holiday's big getaway weekend. They're going to have to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: settle it by then. Shutdown. It's an all time record
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: now thirty seven days. The old record was thirty five
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: even Democrat Senator John Fetterman says, it's all I can't
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: say the word a blanky political game. It's the S word.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: It's all a game. Even he admits, Hey, Curtis will
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: be with us in a few minutes. Let's see what
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he has to say about the election. And after it's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: all over, and we'll take some calls.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is

• 16:25
  Speaker 6: Square was, and how it's changed for so much better.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: It's I'm I'm scared for you, guys, I really am.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: I'm really concerned about what's going to happen to that city.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, where are you in Florida?
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I'm in Fort Myers.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: House prices are yeah, with the higher house prices are
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: already taken up.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're pretty safe over there Fort Myers.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Although Naples has become a very crowded place. Saint Petersburg
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: is like the new hotspot that's taken off. But you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: people listening to us right now, Palm Beach, West Beageport Lauderdale, Bulgertin,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you are going to have a traffic nightmare. If you
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: know you're you're laughing at all these people are gonna
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: move down there. Traffic is already out of control down there.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be an absolute mess. In the East coast
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of Florida. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you doing.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara. Let's see how much
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: all these rich people like the owner of Balthazar and
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Cynthia Nixon likely when especially Balthazar the owner, when you
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: have to pay the bus boy thirty dollars an hour
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: and that already overpriced plate of pasta goes from twenty
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: five dollars to thirty five dollars, and to you, Cynthia Nixon,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: you better hire some private security because if you call
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: that a husband, that guy Christopher Maloney, if anybody goes
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: to VIC you don't count on don't count on it
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: to defend you. I know some wise guys who owned us.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you associated with what is guys.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: This is now, this is the truth, this is real.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: I live in a very, very liberal neighborhood where a
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: lot of these kids that you spoke of that stay
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: in their mother's basement and can't afford to pay their
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: internet bill live. When I went to my polling place,
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: there was more of them voting than during the presidential election.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: And when I came home, I told my girlfriend, I said,
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: I knew we were in trouble, meaning Guomo and the
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: people who had half for brain in their head when
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: I went to go vote. And my advice to all
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: the landlords who are afraid of Mandami raising the taxes
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: target figure out who your liberal tenants are and sock
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: it to them, because that's what I do. I know
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: in advance who the liberals are who live in my properties,
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: and they're the first ones I give.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: It in the How do you know who they are?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: How do you know who you are?
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: You see the mail they get? Oh yeah, you see
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: the flyers they get. I didn't get any, uh, I
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: didn't get any political flyers from Zora and Mandami. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: only got I got robo calls from from Rudy for
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Curtis and also from that other Republican Janine Aquafreda. I
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: get them from all the because unfortunately for the city,
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: I still have to have a landline because I own
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: properties and stuff and you can't just have a cell
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: phone number.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Vincent't great stuff, great call as always, Thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. You know, if you're starting,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: if you're getting all these left wing flyers, if you're
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: getting Mamdani mail and all that stuff. It means you've
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: contributed to a Democrat, because if you ever made any
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: kind of a political donation, even for five bucks, you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: then end up on every mailing list from everybody in
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the same party. In other words, you contribute to this
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Democratic candidate. Well, next year, all the other Democratic candidates
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: by his mailing list, and they got your e so
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you can. It's a good good way to check, just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: see what kind of mail they're getting. Hey, when we
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: come back, Curtis will be with us. Curtis sliwa. Let's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: get the after aftermath or report from the election. Election night.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I heard he talked to mom Donnie, and we'll ask
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: him about that and more coming up next on seven
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to ten wor.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: The Marximone Show on WR.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Well, hope we'll talk to Curtis in a moment. What happened?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: We lost him? We had him, You had him and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you talked to him, right, Okay, So then it dropped.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Then we can't get him back. So this knowing Curtis,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he's traveling somewhere, he's some cell signal. I don't know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: but we'll keep trying and we'll get him back. He
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: could be on the train somewhere. But you know, Curtis,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: he could be anywhere anywhere in the city, although it's
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: hard to go anywhere in New York City and not
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: get a cell signal. You know, out in the suburbs,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: do you have all these dead spots. It's really I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: don't know how people live like that. You know, well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're in the suburbs, there's always an area.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: If you're in Long Island, for instance, if you're on
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Northern Boulevard as you head into East Norwich Laurel holl
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: you know you're gonna lose the cell service. There's no
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: cell signal for like two miles around there. Westchester, you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of areas there's just no cell service.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The Hamptons. If you could be in Southampton, the nicest
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of the Hampton's, beautiful Southampton, unbelievable no cell service. East
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Hampton very little cell service. You know why because nobody
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: wants a cell tower near their house and nobody will
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: let them put it up, so it can drive you crazy.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Also, if you in these see you across the street
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: over there where they got this over on Billionaire's Row,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they got these hundred story apartment buildings. Have you ever
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: see those beautiful apartments they show you in the ads.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Look at this one hundredth floor, the ninety eighth floor.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: You know, one thing they never tell you, there's no
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: cell service up there. None. You know, most cell towers
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: in New York City are around the twentieth floor. They
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: figured out that's the perfect spot to hit the ground,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: is the twentieth floor, and it'll go down to the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: ground and up and we'll go up to about the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: fiftieth floor, and after that you're not getting any cell service.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: So it is a pain in the neck to live
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: like that. And if you live up there on the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: hundredth floor, your cable company will give you some cell signal,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: but if you lose your cable, you'll lose your cell
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: service too. So what happened with Curtis? We find him? Oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: we got him all right. Curtis, of course, was the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: best candidate in the race, the only crime fighter in
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the race. And it's great to have back with us. Curtis, sliwa,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: how you doing good?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Except my phone just went dead. Lucky Nancy was side
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: by side with me, so I'm talking to you York
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: her phone. Everything's fine, calling up all my supporters, you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: thanking them for the nine months that we were on
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: the campaign trail twenty hours a day of a twenty
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: four hour day, and obviously getting ready. We're the loyal opposition.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: We're not moving, we're improving. And as I said on
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: my concession speech that night, when I knew that it
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: was over, I said, look, the moment that zon mondami
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: mayor electric to impose socialist concepts and ideas into the
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: running of the city, when he continues to weekend and
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: render our police impotent, and when public safety gets worse
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: than it is now, he will have me and my
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: followers as his worst nightmare. We will fight, fight, fight, Mark.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: We're not going anywhere.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that now, Is this true? I read
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: that election that you called mom, Donnie, you spoke to him.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Sure, this is what you're supposed to do. You get
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: a concession speech, you call the person, you say to him, congratulations,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: and we want him to do well. You always want
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: to mayor to do well.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: I tried calling Eric Adams the last time twenty twenty one,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: and that guy, who I knew was going to be
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: a complete disaster. You still do the courtesy of making
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: the call, I would have wished him good luck because
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: if they do well, we do well. But I also
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: clearly warned in my concession speech speech that we will
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: be here, we will be fighting, we are not going
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: to leave. So it's a two edge short. This is
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: what you're supposed to do. Yeah, but you haven't anybody
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: else did it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: What kind of conversations you have with mom, Donnie? What
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: do you say to you?
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Oh? No, very brief.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: He said thank you, and I said we'll be talking
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: in the future, but it's not going to be a
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: happy talk, I think. And he said thank you again,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: because you know me, I warn you an advance, Mark,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I always do. The heat is going to come. And
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I'm an organizer. I'm a community organizer. I go into
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: communities when you need to battle city Hall, when it's
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: David versus Goliath, I organize the people. And that's what
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I will continue to do here in the city.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: All right, now, let's point out a couple of things
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you did not cost Cuomo the race. Cuomo, if he
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: got first of all, the myth that if you dropped out,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: he'd get all your voters was insane. Obviously all your
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: voters are not going to go to him. But even
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: if they did, he still wouldn't have won. He's still
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: would have lost by a couple of points. Said, can
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you assure us at least we will never hear from
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cromo again as a candidate.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, Because he's like Napoleon. He will shrink
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: back to his island of elbow, best known as the Hampton.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: He will lurk. Mark, you know this guy. He is
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: obsessed with becoming relevant again. He will look at every angle.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: He will look. He will do his internal polls because remember,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: he's sitting on millions and millions of dollars that he
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: got for that book that he wrote in the middle
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: of the lockdown and pandemic, five million dollars that he
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: wrote with his staff that he should have been forced
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: to give back, but sits on it and counts the interest.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: He will be plotting his comeback. I'm telling you, Mark,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: I've known this guy.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: You know, We've been like.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Two scorpions in a brandy glass. I hate him. I
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: despise him because his failures as governor and Eric adams
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: failures as mayor paved the way for a guy a
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: year ago. They're not even his neighbors knew Jorhanmandami.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: But when you say, comeback, where what you run for Senate?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: What would he do?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: You know him, He'll plot, He'll he'll deal with every
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: angle he still has. You know, imagine this mark. He
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: basically he's like a bumblebee without a stinger, because he
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: always would threaten people with engines and then debta. That's
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: how the Working Families Party got so strong. I don't
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: think people understand that when Zorahan Mandami voted for himself
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: and voted down the Working Families Party line, that was
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: on purpose. That was an f you to Andrew Como, who,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: if you remember, tried to destroy that party. When how
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: dare she sent you a Nixon of Sex in the
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: City run against him as governor on the Working Families
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: party line. You know what he succeeded in doing and
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: trying to destroy them, destroyed the New York State Reform
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Party that I was chairman of, the Libertarian Party, the
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Green Party, the Femist Party, and he just made the
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Working Families Party stronger. And they came back and they
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: bit him right in the neck. Because this is a
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: guy who lives for the vendettas and blood feuds, and
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: they got him good. You know, look, he's an evil person,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: he's the prince of darkness. But he will continue to
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: plot his comeback and he will change, and he will
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: he will act like what he said yesterday, he didn't
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: really say as you saw all during these two failed
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: campaigns of his against or On Mandami. Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know, nobody was a bigger booster of Andrew
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Cuomo than Donald Trump, President Trump promoting him. Like did
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you notice yesterday President Trump twice called him a thug?
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: So I guess that changed to your relationship.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you know, Mark that many of the
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: people who were voting for me originally listen to the President.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: And you know there was Elon Musk and Stephen Miller
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: and everybody else piling on me. The masters of the
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: universe said, determined the courtious Lee, what was not going
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: to become a mayor was not going to have a
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: fair chance. But that's politics, And Mark, you've been around
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: this game for so long. How many times have we
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: had discussions where I say, this is the dirtiest business
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: that exists. The only difference between this and organized crime,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: of which I've had my battles is you don't have
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: a dead body at the end of the line, except
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: if it's involving the Clinton family. Other than that, they
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: will have dinner with you at night. They'll pat you
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: on the back so hard you have to go for
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: a chiropractic adjustment. Everybody is singing home by eye and
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: they have a press conference in the morning in which
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: they stab you in the back. It happens again and
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: again and again. And this is the business that I
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: have chosen. So I have no regrets.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Now let me ask you. I'm sure the answer is no.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But did you take a day off and rest at
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: least after the campaign?
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not. Remember, I have a responsibility to call everybody
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: who put their lives on hold for nine months, you know,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: went to the mats against the most powerful people in
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: the world, the most powerful forces, and continue to grind
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: it out. And I wanted them to hear from me,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: not a text, you know, not an email, a personal
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: call in which I could personally thank them and say, hey,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: this is one battle of many battles to come. We're
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: not going away. Remember Richard nick since said you won't
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: have me to kick around anymore when he lost. Actually,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: the election was stolen from him by JFK. I'm the
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: person who has told everybody you will have me to
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: kick around because I ain't going nowhere.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Well that's good. Here now we only like a minute left.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: What what are you planning to do next? Radio? What
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: are you going to do?
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: No?
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, you know I'm never going back
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: to that old boy. No no, never going back to
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: w ABC. I'm sorry. You guys at WO R have
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: been fair and square to me, but I have to
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: continue to organize. We know what Zoran Mondami intends to do,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: and if we don't organize in advance, stain on us.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: We've seen Zora Mondami. He made it very specifically he's
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: going to war in his acceptance speech. I mean that
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: was a difference on Mondami March tomorrow. That wasn't the affable,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: smiling khumbay, We love everybody, this whole pool. No no,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: he basically threw the lightning bolts out and said war, war, war.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: And there's nobody who loved going to war politically better
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: and more often than your truly Curtis Lee. When I
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: will lead the loyal opposition.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's good to hear Curtis Lee, Well,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: we'll talk again soon. Keep it up. And if anybody
