Phil from Brooklyn, NY, wanted to know why the Conservative Party in New York City didn’t support Curtis during his mayoral campaign earlier this year. Kevin from Putnam County called Curtis to say he wished he could have voted for him, but since he lives outside NYC, he wasn’t able to.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The voice that fights for New York. Literally, Curtis leewa
guest hos for Mark Simone on sevent ten WOR. All right,
let's make sure. Wow, those phone lines are blazing, he
is he, But don't be glazing. You mean when you
(00:20):
get on, I don't need to be glazed. Let's just
say what is on your mind. That's what talk radio
is all about. And now you have a friend of
your own WOR seven ten, And if you listen to
anyone else, you don't need to listen to them anymore.
Let's go to Phil, who is calling from Brooklyn. Your
(00:42):
turn to be heard here at WOR seven ten.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Phil Rt. Curtis, there is one part of the story
that hasn't been told yet that a lot of people
are very curious about. And that is why didn't the
Conservative Party give you their nomination Familier after you had
been loyal to them and had such greig relations with
them for decades.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, to be honest with you, I'm not a conservative.
They are purists. To their credit, you have to agree
with them on all their policy positions. As you have stated, Phil,
I got along with them all the time. I went
to the same events. But you know Rudy Giuliani didn't
run on the conservative line. He wasn't a conservative, at
(01:24):
least when he was running for mayor of the City
of New York. I've never really been a conservative. I
disagree with them on some subjects, but I respect them.
Let's go if we can to Kevin, who's calling from Putnam?
Your turn to be heard here at seven to ten.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Wr Oh, Curtis, we love you. No better way to
say that we love you up in Putnam. I wish
we could have voted for you for other things, but
maybe consider run for governor. I don't know. Call me crazy,
(02:03):
but no, no.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
No, you're not. You're not crazy, Kevin. But I am
so upset with my Republican Party and I am a Republican.
I'm nothing else. Even though you will hear know that
detractors at my old place of business, WABC, said that
I was working for Jorhan Mandami, I was being paid by.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
To throw the election to him. I was listening to
all of that from w ABC, and I can tell
you the guy you picked out to be the I
won't say it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, I will see you hesitate, but as you know,
I don't have a filter. It starts with the owner operator,
John Katzmatitis. He gave the signal to attack and undercut
courteously when create the image that Joran Mandami was somehow
paying me off to deprive Andrew Cmo of an opportunity
(03:03):
to destroy the city of New York like he did
the State of New York. And then naturally sid Rosenberg,
Tessio and Greg Kelly and Dominic Carter, they all follow
because whatever John tells him to do, they do. They're dutiful,
you know, They're like little dancing bears. Whereas when I
worked there, I had any agreement with John was if
I'm wrong, I'm gone. And I broke a lot of
(03:26):
news there and the station benefited. They went right to
number one. They will no longer be number one because
if I have to, I'll be listening to wo or morning,
noon and night wherever I go, and I'm everywhere in
this city. Let's go if we can to Mike, Who's
calling from Queen's your turn to be heard here at
(03:46):
seven to ten wor Mike.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yes, sir, welcome back to the sermon never ends up.
I'm glad to hear you on the Aircutter. That's what counts. Listen,
the staphanic thing is making my board boil because I
could read the teelees on a whole thing. We finally
get a star who can beat Hulko, and now she's gone.
And let me tell you something, Pal, One of the
big reasons you lost, in my opinion, is the chickens
(04:10):
voted for Colonel Sanders, if you know what I mean,
so they can't blame you for everything. And if you
would have withdrawn, then what do you have? You have
focus you either have a Republican party or you don't
have a Republican party. I'd never heard of any Democrats
throwing their elections to get a Republican elected. So anyway,
welcome back, Kid, and you're doing a great job. And
happy new Year, and tell them missus we all said
hello too. Why night.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I liked that he called me kid. I'm seventy one
years old. That makes me feel great. That's that's that's
other than substituting from March simon until January tewcond that's
the second best Christmas present I've gotten so far, being
called kid, And it really is a present. This is
such a powerful vehicle and that again, I want you
(04:58):
to understand what's happened. The Republican Party in New York
City and New York State is being destroyed by Republicans,
not by the Democrats. Republicans put me aside. Obviously, I
can't compare with Elis Stefani. She was the star of
(05:20):
all stars. There is nobody out there they could do
combat with her verbal combat in the ring and survive
a cross examination and interrogation by Elistefani. Everybody would agree that.
Look at the three presidents of the Ivy League schools
who went down. Claudine Gay Harvard after that retired, Elizabeth
(05:46):
Megel of University of Pennsylvania after her cross examination by
Elistephan retired. Sally Cornbluff was holding on to the ropes TKO.
The referee said, no, us, it's over. It's overally no more,
or she would have retired. She eviscerated Andrew evilized Cuomo
at the Corona's Virus Committee hearing. And then remember it
(06:11):
was June of this year, she crossed examined Kathy Hokel
on the hill and said, who are these migrants who
are killing citizens in New York State? Who are these
illegal aliens? Do you know any of them? Uh? Do
you know who that woman was who was turned into
(06:33):
a human torch on January twenty second on that F
train in Coney Island. Do you know who her name is?
Say her name? No?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know who the migrant killer was? They was being
housed that is Amaredian House shelter in East New York.
I thought they only deal with drug issues, but they
were in it for the oney, that's for sure. You
know his name. Kathy Hokel Sebastian Zapeta of Guatemala, that pyromaniac. Oh,
(07:15):
I'm gonna you don't want to go anywhere. I'm gonna
give you more details on it. How quickly everybody forgets
Nobody could step into the ring with Elis Stephanic and survive.
Nobody wanted to. They hesitated. You really think that Bruce
Blakeman would have stood up in a debate against at
(07:35):
least Stephonic. Come on, or guy like Bruce. I like
some of his policies. If given the choice to vote
between Bruce Blakeman and Kathy Hokel, obviously I'm gonna vote
for Bruce Blakeman, But I'm not excited like I was
with Elis Staphonic, who also had a lot of young followers.
Young you know, millennials, gen zs. They are the majority
(07:56):
of the population. I hate to tell your baby boomers
out there, and I'm one of you, we are no
longer the majority. We are no longer the majority of
the voters. We are no longer going to be the
shot callers. Baby boomers may have most of the equity
in wealth, but that will soon change too. Bruce Waitman
is not going to be able to attract younger voters.
(08:17):
That's just not his style. It's not what got him
elected the county executive in Nassau County. And you really
think that Kathy Hokel could have stood on a debate
stage and survived the withering cross examination of elist Stephanic
(08:39):
A say she brings in a bazooka and what were
Kathy hokklea ad a pop gun in return? And now
we're being deprived of all that. Who did that? Not
the Democrats, the Republicans. It goes right to the White
House itself. I donld Trump flipped the script on at
(09:02):
least Stephonic. You knew he was gonna do that to me.
I was not his most loyal Maga following at least
the phonic was uber maga. Could you have been any
more loyal to the president, any more of a team player?
(09:23):
Stop drinking the kool aid. The problem of a Republican
party is that, depending on what mood the President is
in on any given day, he will side against the
Republican candidates. You don't cross the line. You don't cross
the line, and you don't listen to any other stations
(09:46):
