Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Guardian Angel of Top Radio is here. Curtis
Leewah guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Woar oh. The hawk is talking outside. It's cold, and
I'm gonna ask to wonder what he's going to be
like when the ball drops in Times Square or the

(00:30):
tourists in town and on. Nobody from our aria is
going into Times Square when the ball drops, you have
to wear it depends. They put you in cattle pens.
You stand there for hours while drunk people are blowing
these horns in your ear, just so you can go
back to your country of origin and tell them you

(00:53):
were there when the ball dropped in Times Square. It
is bizarre or more depend sales on the island of
Manhattan New Year's Eve than any other day of the year.
And these are generally by younger people who are drunk.
You know what that promulgates you to do, as you

(01:15):
stand for six hours or more in a cattle pen,
and if you leave, you can't come back. So we'll
give you updates on that. Again. It's substituting for Mark Simon.
It's been great be able to take here to January second,
and then Mark will be back so I want to
make sure is he who also is a refuge from WABC,

(01:42):
which used to be always broadcasting Curtis. Now it's always
bashing Curtis. And you've found a home of your own
here at seven to ten WOR and I hope so
many of you newfound listeners have done such. It's a
great article if you get a chance to look at
brought to my attention by Tom Cuddy Side Radio, and

(02:02):
the headline is Curtis Lee was radio persona resonates with
a new generation. That means, you know, millennials, gen ze
is I happen to be a baby boom I like
so many of you, seventy one soon to be seventy
two on March twenty six. So that says a lot.

(02:23):
And that how we have to pivot and shift and
understand that the audience that we're talking to, no matter
what platform you're using, it's changing. We baby boomas when
no longer the majority I know for a lot of you,
we pay the bills, we have the wealth yechy Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay,
We're going to talk about that later on because there's

(02:44):
this concept out there and I had quite a battle
yesterday with the Wall Street Journal that he who has
the gold makes the rules, and I said, no, no, no, no,
no no. I operate by the Golden rule. Do unto
others as you would have them do unto you. We'll
get it to that momentarily. We'll get into that momentarily.

(03:07):
But you gotta read this article. It's really great. It
shows you the shifting dynamics and it led to the
election of Zoraimandami that's being talked about with his swearing in,
and I'll get into all those nitty gritty details with you,
but you got to read Inside Radio Curtis Lee was
radio persona resonates with a new generation and how WABC

(03:33):
so desperately wants me to come back, And it's sort
of like I should be like lady God guys, poker
face to them, right, But I can't. My expressions are
and they listen intently, as to so many WABC listeners,
who I hope we'll discover WOR the voice of New

(03:56):
York seven to ten as a place for them to
be as it was for me I was growing up
from time to time, and I'm sure for many of you,
and of course they're the hardcore listeners to this station.
But you got said in the Morning, he's Tessio from
The Godfather. You got Greg Kelly, he's Moe Green. And
then there's Dominic Carter, he's Salazzo. And so some people

(04:18):
are on occasion they'll see me in the streets of
the subways because I'm in the streets and subways every day. Well,
you're going back to WABC, I said, no, I'm substituting
for Mark Simone at war. It for me would be
like remember Lady Gaga. Speaking of Lady Gaga, is he
at the MTV Music Awards in twenty ten when she
showed up dressed up in a raw flank steak dress? Oh?

(04:41):
Is that that was solo budget? But it would be
the equivalent of me walking into a cage of hungry
dobleman pinchers with pork chop pants on. It ain't happening.
So read the article. It's really good. Some of you,
if you connecting the dots, might actually figure out in

(05:03):
which direction I'll be going. But yesterday a very intense
sit down two hours with the Wall Street Journal. And
you know, the Wall Street Journal is owned by Murdoch
and represents the interests of the masters of the universe,
the billionaires, fortune five hundred companies, hedge fund monsters, and

(05:26):
people with a lot of money, and they believe in
this concept. It's clear when you read the newspaper that
he who has the gold makes the rules. Wealth financial
power gives you authority and control, and the person that
has the power to dictate the terms and set the

(05:48):
conditions is he who has the gold. There are a
lot of people, especially in our country, who believe exactly
that I don't. I never have. It was never raised
that way, ashes to ash, his dust to dust. You
come into this world with bupkus and you leave with bupkus.
I don't live along those lines. My belief is from

(06:11):
any of you, no matter how you were raised, the
way you were raised, I'm sure you were exposed to
the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you, and that encourages fairness and empathy.
So it was quite a wrestling match between me and

(06:32):
this very esteemed reporter. He covered me in the after
baths and my lost to Eric Adams in twenty twenty one.
When I warned you, remember heresy, I warned everyone he
would be corrupt, It would be chaos, the most corrupt
mayor in the history of New York City. And boy
that says a lot, because we've had a lot of
corrupt mayors. So then we got into the discussion about

(06:55):
the new kid on the blocks or Hanmandami. Remember a
year ago, not even his neighbors in that storia knew
for sure who's are on my Domie was. I mean,
let's face it, who the hell knew who's are on
Mondamie was? And now he is an international figure, hated
or loved, but he is gonna be sworn in to

(07:17):
office right after midnight, when the ball is dropping in
Times Square and all the outer towns are going cuckolamonga.
Many of you will be in other prices, maybe watching
it on TV, and he will be sworn in. And
this is very cool. I gotta give them props. Uh yeah,

(07:40):
oh w yeah, you see you always four zoro. No,
when you aren't props, you aren't props. They have chosen
the private ceremony of swearing it at twelve midnight, when
the ball drops in the abandoned subway station that's right
underneath City Hall, which I've been into many times, not
supposed to. It's magnificent. It is a remarkable architectural achievement

(08:07):
right under City Hall Park. It's got the terra cotta tiles,
it's got twelve brass chandeliers, there's a curved platform skylights.
It's distinctly European. I mean, I always would go to
Europe and I would look at their train facilities or
their subway system ten times better than ours. Architecture design.

(08:32):
You go to Paris Metro, they have rubber wheels, you know.
You go up to Montreal, they play they play classical music.
They have rubber wheels. It doesn't attack your senses. This
is a very cool place. He's gonna be sworn in
by Chis James, Attorney General. And I'm sure with family

(08:52):
and friends. That station was actually put out of business
in forty five. And if you take the six ran
to the left stop, which is City Hall, the sixth train,
as you know, continues going downtown, but it goes in
sort of like an oblong it goes around in order
to go back uptown, and that's when it passes through
that station. So the reporter for the Wall Street Channel said,

(09:16):
have you been invited to that ceremony? I said no,
of course, not not family and friends. He goes, well,
what about the next day on the first, when Bertie
the out Takaca Sanders is going to be delivering the
oath of office to Zoran Mandami in the public inauguration
right in front of city Hall. And I haven't been

(09:39):
to one of those since Rudy Giuliani was inaugurated on
the front steps of the City Hall back in nineteen
ninety four. Remember when Andrew his son was climbing all
over the podium and how many times did Chris Farley
do that imitation and lampoon him in Saturday night Life.

(09:59):
It was great, But I remember sitting there was cold,
and the hawk was talking and David Dinkins was there. See,
that is what should happen. And I know of late
in local elections and regional and statewide elections and certainly
the federal election. You know when Trump said I'm not

(10:20):
gonna be there. Uh Biden stole you late. No no, no, no, no, no,
you lose you sit there. This is what's great about
America is that there is the changeover of authority and power.
And you want everybody to see that. It's gracious that

(10:41):
this is what one of the things that are so
great about the country. Well, the sitting mayor who decided
he wasn't gonna run for office because he was gonna
get beat if he ran a second time. Any which
way you looked at it, he's playing this game. You
know what was me? Maybe I'll go possibly could be Hey.
By the way, I want to write a book. I

(11:01):
got that title here. I didn't do nothing wrong. I
didn't do nothing wrong by Eric Adams, and he said
you heard in the news clip. He wants to get
involved in cryptocurrency, which is the world of bitcoin better
known as crime coin. With all those nefarious characters, they're
perfect for him. Cuomo, I don't know. Yeah, he's a

(11:22):
sow loser. He probably slid it under that rock out
in the Hamptons with his billionaire friends. And do you
know something, I have not gotten an invitation. The question
is what should I do? Should I just show up?
I mean I competed against him. Should I sit there

(11:44):
and say, yeah, yeah, this is what our democracy is about.
I lost. I'm not a sol loser like Cuomo or
Eric Adams. And then afterwards, you know they got that
block party there, you know, through the canyony heroes like
gonna be forty fifty thousand zorin easters. So I want
to ask you a question. Should I Should I even

(12:05):
bother showing up? Because look, I'm the mayor of the people. Look,
I'm in the subways and streets every day. You know,
I get it. Zoron is doing his initial swearing in
at midnight in the first subway station ever built in
New York City nineteen oh four. It is magnificent, but
he's trying to say, yeah, you see, I'm synergistic with
the Peter Khans. You don't write this Subways Cormo never

(12:28):
did Adams on occasion, you know, with his posse of
twenty four bodyguards on the NYPD while he was on
his way to a club till the break of dawn,
because you know, man, he didn't leave clubs until like
four in the morning. Part of his problem. Although it's
interesting because Zoron Mandami and his father, the professor of

(12:52):
African Studies at Columbia University, who is infamous in his
own right, actually had dinner at Eric adams invitation. Yeah, yeah,
Ery Gadams, Like, h tough guy, you get out of here.
You had dinner with these guys and you know what
he said his interest was. And this is before Zoran
obviously was running for mayor. He was just the assemblyman

(13:15):
that very few people knew in Estoria. He wanted to
know all about Ed I mean from Uganda, Ed I
men yeah, d I mean in Tebby remember working with
Kadafi at that time? Man, Well, was Kadaffi our friend
or our fae? I don't know one minute? He's a
friend of fall anyway, he was an anti semi. Remember

(13:37):
they took those Israelies. They held them hostage, including BB's
Bebe's brother who went in there with the IDF to
rescue you and unfortunately he was the only one killed.
And Ed I mean who was best known for taking
his political enemies and feeding them to crocodiles in Lake Victoria,

(13:59):
or some times eating them. And then he was drilling
out of Uganda by Hansania and guess who who gave
him a place to stay until he died and went
straight to hell without an asbestos suit. Saudi Arabia the
house of fraud, with the fake phony, fraudulent princes, you know,

(14:21):
with the schmantas on their heads and the fake beards
and mustaches and then when you see him here in Manhattan,
which I've seen many times. They got the knockoff Armani suits,
they're chasing skirts, they're doing blow. It's the Western way.
But when they go back to the land of Mecca
and Medina, all of a sudden they are the guardians
of the faith. Get out of here. So the question

(14:44):
is should I stay or should I go? I haven't
been invited. It's not like I'm asking to be invited.
But the proper courtesy would be to show that this
is how them I because he works. You got a
winner and you got a loser. And we would hope

(15:04):
that jore On Mondami does well because if he does well,
the city does well. Or should I be like a
lot of other people say, oh, you don't want to
be seen there. Nah, he's going to crash and burn.
It's going to be horrible. So I'm gonna leave it
up to you or the audience. What should I do?
Because the Wall Street Journal wanted to know, and I said,

(15:27):
I have no idea what I'm going to do. Maybe
they'll tell me the invitation was lost in the mail.
You know that's typical, right, Oh, we mailed it out
to snall mail. By the way, I opened up that
envelope that came in yesterday. The snail mail is the
uh there was no antras in there. Okay, I know
you took the ship pro a prophylactic just in case

(15:50):
you're okay. So let's fire up the numbers. Here the
voice in New York seven to ten wor your new
station to be eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
I'm gonna put this all on all of you out
there to be my conseclieri, to give me a little guidance.
Tell me what should I do? You know me, I'll

(16:10):
just show up anywhere, anytime, any place I'm missing in
New York City, There's no doubt about it. But would
that be ghosts? Would that be sort of low budget
for me just to show up, especially if you haven't
been invited? Or should I just moan and groan like
I'm Rodney danger Field, you know, the candidate who gets
no respect and just just to avoid going there. I'm

(16:33):
leaving it up to all of you. One eight hundred
three to two one zero seven ten. That's one eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten. Then yeah, we'll
get to the fraud by the Somalians in Minnesota. I
know you're all getting bent out of shape. And what
about all that COVID fraud from fortune five hundred companies
and businesses about five hundred million that they owe us.

(16:56):
We're gonna go after them too, or are we just
stopping with us Allians? Think about that? You see, challenge authority.
Don't just repeat what you last heard. This is good.
We're gonna after corruption. But are we gonna draw a
line and say, well, it's just the some Alians? But
we're gonna go after religious groups and secular groups that

(17:17):
we know all about that we want to protect because
they've been ripping us off for years, for millions and billions.
On eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten.
Gotta be careful, is he? I don't want to blow
it up here for Mark Simon. This is his show,
So I'm just gonna give you a few orders. Hang
around for the entrees and your place to be seven

(17:38):
ten War.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
The Pulse of New York Now on the Voice of
New York Curtis Sleewald guess host from Mark Simon on
seven ten.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Woar, what a great song as an entry it would
have been for this segment Should I stay or should
I go? By the greatest counter call a band of
all time, the Clash. Now, how would I know about that? Right?
You said? Oh, well, they actually dedicated a song to
me and the Guardian Angels Red Angel Dragnet. A lot

(18:13):
of people come up to me, Wow, that song was
about you and your guys in Galaxy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because we've always been thought of as counterculture in many ways.
That's the question all of you. Should I say a
Should I go to this inauguration that I haven't been
invited to, or the party that block party that takes place,

(18:33):
or would that be stirring it up? Because you know,
you got the Mama Luke here, Eric Adam know your
people may boom me get the hell out of here.
And of course Cormoll the Mama Luke. If we Curtis
had dropped out, if only Curtis had dropped out, they
could have won. Yeah. Maybe if we had done a
two year election. Right yeah, yeah, you're lost. And the

(18:56):
Wall Street Journal guy was saying, and where did he
lose it? He had he had all the masters of
the universe, he had one hundred million dollars, he had
pack money, he's being investigated now because of some of
that pack money. And I said he lost it in
the black vote. What are you talking about? I said,
in the primary, he whooped Zorhan Mandami in the black vote.

(19:20):
He beat him by about six seven percent, although he
lost by thirteen percent of z on Mandami because Cromo
thought he was going to have a coronation. Hey, I'm
angel Cuomo. He as I said it at first debate. Hey, Andrew,
I knew your father, Mario. You'll know Mario Cmo never was,
never will be. So he loses the primary and he

(19:42):
decides I'm not going away because I'll get the black
majority of the vote in a general election. Now you
would think if you did that in the primary, he
got a pretty good chance because most blacks are Democrat,
they are not Republicans. Do you know that Zorhan Mandami
won the black vote in the general election by twenty

(20:03):
five percent, So that shows you how Cuomo was asleep.
He couldn't even protect the vote that he had that
should have been his because he had only two focuses,
Black vote, Jewish row. That's it. He didn't care about
anybody else. Meantime, the Latinos who are the minority fastest

(20:23):
going minorities soon to be the majority. The two and
a half million, thirty percent of the population, right, seventeen
percent of the vote. It didn't spend no time going no, no, no, no,
I'm gonna win this with a black vote in Jewish show.
And it turns out that as the Jewish people were
making all the noise on my nomini anti Semitism, bb Israel,

(20:50):
Zarhaimandammy got thirty three percent of the Jewish vote in
the general as he did in the primary. And it
pretty much came down along these lines. By one third
of the vote was very pro issue, one third yes Jews,
very pro Palestinian, and the other third had no relationship
to Israel whatsoever. They were secular, They just they just

(21:11):
made their own choice. I remember that morning. I went
to the Fifth Avenue synagogue in the morning. That synagogue
is not on Fifth Avenue, by the way, but anyway,
I go to fifth. I've been there many times in
the morning for the notch the breakfast. You know, I
get my bagel and deshmian. Oh you gotta drop out,

(21:31):
you gotta drop out? What do I gotta drop out? Oh?
For the good of Jewish people. Sorry. Then that night
I go to the slope the Park Avenue Synagogue, old
Jewish crowd. Oh zoha, and he's the best. He's the best, boy.
Why don't you figure it out amongst yourselves? Huh, figure

(21:53):
it out, argue with yourselves. But he won, Zohaman dami
when you look at the percentages, because he got the
Muslim vote first time. I remember the million Muslims in
New York City that most of you don't pay attention to.
They got all the coffee wagons and the uber drivers,
their businessmen, business women, growing population. Generally, only about ten

(22:18):
percent of them ever showed up to vote before, although
many were able to vote, well, forty to fifty percent
came out because these are on mandami. Most importantly, because
so many Republicans vilified Muslims, both their religion and their culture.
Was who was a mistake, A huge mistake. That's how

(22:38):
we won. Well you know it was rig No, it
wasn't rigged. Well you know it was fixed.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
No.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Two million, one hundred thousand people showed up to vote
in the mayoral election, the highest turnouts in sixty five,
when I was eleven years old and John Lindsay won
the mayoralty against Abraham Beam and Bill Buckley, who is
the conservative. But then again, you could weigh in the

(23:06):
class song should I stay or should I go? To
this inauguration? My mom, I'm not invited, but that hasn't
prevented me from showing up before. As many of you know,
I numbers one eight hundred three to one zero seven ten.
That's one eight hundred three to one zero seven ten.
On this your place to be from now? On seven

(23:26):
ten w r the Voice of New.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
York Curtis Leewa guest hose for Mark Simone. On sevent
ten woor.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
WHOA, phones are blazing? Please do me in solid. Don't
be glazing me. Don't be glazing here. Oh we're gonna
be talking about Somalia. Most of you can't even find
it on a map, but you've all become self appointed experts.
By the way, uh Medicaid Mills member oxy Contons still

(24:02):
out there oxy coding. Remember in those Appellachian areas? How
much did we get ripped off by the Purdue family,
You know, the Sackler family. What do they make billions
and billions our money? How many Americans died anybody go
after Oh, that's right, they didn't go to jail, they

(24:23):
just had to pay funds. Hmmm, Jesse, if you're gonna
go after the Somalians, I'm all for you, but don't
stop there. There's a lot of other people who have
ripped us off over the years, and as a result,
people who have died. Right the Perdue Company, the Sackler family.

(24:43):
How many movies were made about that? I think we're
gonna talk about in the next hour. No, no, no,
always question authority. Always. Don't just repeat what is being
said to you without saying Wait. The Similians aren't the
only ones ripping us off in our own tri state area,
New York, New Jersey. Kinetic N Beyon. How many religious

(25:04):
and secular groups have ripped us off since nineteen seventy five. Oh,
I'm gonna mention NTY because is Mike Simone's show, and
it'll have to deal with it. But you know what
I'm talking about. Let's go if we can. A David
calling from Jersey. Your turn to be heard? He at
seventy ten wo or.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Thank you for taking my call, Curtis, Happy New Year, everybody.
I wanted to say Spence Abraham was George Debbie Bush's
Secretary of Energy and he was a Muslim, but he
raised a valid point. And for everybody who is a
liberal or who's Jewish who voted for communist Mandami, I

(25:44):
really hope you guys will one day look in the mirror.
With that being said, I would highly recommend you wear
your regal robe and show up as prince at this
RSVP who has a block party in January. With that
being said, I would recommend bringing botox Bondie. She likes
the limelight. She's not very good at her job, and

(26:06):
she's quite incompetent, and it's a twofer. Maybe she can
pick up the millions of documents on her desk that
are still in New York.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Oh oh, we're gonna mention the Epstein files. And apparently
what pushed Marjorie Taylor Green over the edge from being
the number one supporter of President Donald Trump is when
he was screaming at her on the phone, and it
was amplified. Her whole staff heard it. You gotta stop, Marjorie,

(26:35):
this involves some of my friends. Well, we know that
nobody's implicating you, Donald Trump president, but we know that again,
and it goes back to my arguments yesterday with the
Wall Street Journal. He who has the gold makes the rules.
Do you believe that I don't? By the way, what

(26:56):
is the origin of at We know what the origin
is of the rule that I that I live and
die by many of you the Golden Rule do unto
others as you would have them do unto you. But
the masters of the universe, you always think they get
their way. Now let's go if we can right here

(27:16):
to animals calling from New Jersey. Your turn to be
heard here at seven to ten wor.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Good morning, Curtis. I just want to bring up the
subject about Somalia, Land and wondering maybe you can put
all the dots together for this thing that's going on
now between Somalia, Samalia, Land, Minnesota, Yahoo, if you can
put all the things together there and let me know

(27:44):
what's going on in the world.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Oh hey, look, I'm gonna do that because.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
All right, I'm gonna listen. I'll be waiting for you.

Speaker 2 (27:54):

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about there, But
I don't eat wings anymore. I don't eat meat anymore.
I don't eat chicken, that fowl, not venison, not fish.
I am a vegetarian, believe it or not, having won
many international gastronomical eating contests over the year, having finished

(28:31):
third place in the Hot Dog Eating Contest and Nathan's
Famous in nineteen ninety six. Yep, no more. I can
thank my wife Nancy for that, who herself is a vegetarian,
and I am for a number of reasons, including health reasons.

(28:52):
Some of you should try it out there, by the way,
in preparation for Somalia talk that most of you all
seem to be now self appointed experts, like a lot
of our officials. I think we should take a David
Bowie song. Think of that? Is he David Bowie? Because
who did he end up marrying one of the most

(29:14):
drop dead gorgeous women of all time? Iman, right, whenever
you're your just one name like chaer Emon, you know, hey,
you're a superstar. She was from Mogadishu. Oh yeah, have
a Sachi. Calvin Klein tree snaps up. Fact, they think
she was married to that basketball player Spencer Haywood before
that who never went to college. Oh wait, back to

(29:37):

was calling from Ozone Park. Your turn to be heard

Bring a clue and why the Americans player do it?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
That'll be very interesting. Will an American flag be flown
at any of these inaugural events? So we talk about
the private event that's in the old City Hall subway
station at twelve midnight when the ball drops. Then the

(30:24):
public event is swearing in by Bernie, the out the
Cocas Sanders in front of City Hall, and then obviously
the block party. I think there'll be any American flag Shong,
I don't think so. Palestinian flag shaw yeah, other flags yeah,
Scott Levado yeah, the relentless Patriot. That'll be good. But see,

(30:44):
I'm used to bowguarding places. I'm used to just showing
up and they say, who are you say? I'm Curtis Shleiewer,
I don't care who you are, get the hell out
of here. That's happened to me too, and they'd thrown
me right out on my dupa, my tukus, kick me
right the kurb. Are you ready? Is he is studying
on Somalia, you know, at one time an Italian province

(31:07):
under Benito Mussolini, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya, Somalia. A lot of
guys in Somalia, whether they're here or over there, they're
still named Vincens, Minnie and Salo, although their last name
is Mohammed. Oh yeah, I got a lot to teach you,
a lot to teach you about Somalia, which is in
the news, and rightfully so, I'm just asking all of

(31:29):
you good, we're going after these people who are ripping
our money off tax stock. But are we gonna stop
here because we don't like them? Well, maybe they don't
share all politics? Are we going to go after people
who share all politics and rip us off even worse

(31:49):
than what you are witnessing now? In midnight Sota Now more.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
With New York's iconic straight Shooters, Curtis guest hosting from
Marximone on sevent ten.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Woo, what a freak Jeffrey Epstein is. We all knew that,
But the more I look into this monster, just release
all the files and let the mighty fall. Yeah. Remember
it starts in what I said, he who has the

(32:24):
gold makes the rules. I don't believe in that at all.
I believe in the Golden rule. But we got a
million more files that need to be downloaded. Apparently, Marjorie
Taylor Green, what broke her maga support for the president
is when he was screaming at her and saying stop

(32:45):
at no more of Epstein. These are some of my friends. Now,
do you believe Mardrie Taylor Green was as loyal as
anybody could? Beat it? Donald Trump? Or probably what the
Trump White House will say that didn't happen. But there
was a psych colleges and a report that said, you
know that Jeffrey Epstein was ordering from Amazon all these

(33:10):
boxes of Drakes coffee cakes, ring Dings, Twinkies, devil Dogs,
and that she was able to figure out that that
could be a window into his appalling sexual predations junk food.
Imagine how many of you would be a Jeffrey Epstein

(33:30):
or you don't want to go anywhere, keep it right
here on Your Newfound Friend seven w or the Voice
of New York. Now the Red Beret has returned to radio.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Curtis leewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Woor substituting for Mark, will be back on January second.
So I want to tiptoe around the tulips a little
bit and we talk about Somalians and ripoffs of the taxpayers,

(34:07):
because a lot of sensitive people out there, they know
that I know where all the bones are buried and
who buried it. So I'll do a tiny tin dance
around the tulips a little bit, so it's to not
aggravate Mark upon his return. Play the ukulele? Who's Who's

(34:28):
his girlfriend? Remember he saw it on Ed Sullivan and
quite a merv Griffin the talk shows. Remember who is it?
A quick little trivia here one eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten. Who's the girlfriend? And he played
the ukulele? Two? But also I just want to before

(34:51):
we talk about Somalian I give you a geography and
a history lesson and a lesson about ripoffs that didn't
start with the Somalians actually started. I first learned about
them in nineteen seventy five, and it wasn't in Minnesota,
was right in our tri state area. Get ready. But
as Tom Cuddy brought to my attention our program director

(35:12):
here WOR, you got to get the inside radio edition.
The headline Curtis Lee was radio persona resonates with a
new generation. And as you know, I'm on here my
new found friendly station at seven to ten WOR that
I and Nancy listened to. But there's another station on

(35:32):
also that's broadcasting talk and that's WNYC, which I actually
was there for a while. Believe it or not. You've
been in this business, you've been fired, you've been hired.
That's just the nature of it. It's like counting the
rings of a tree to determine how long the tree
is out. So yes, they I'm out there, and there

(35:52):
are a number of Zorinistas. They listen to WNYC and
Brian Lair on forever like from ten to twelve, and
apparently he had a contest on his show and the
first question was which mayoral candidate listened to EDM in

(36:15):
this last mayoral election, And apparently a caller a zerin
East and nailed it first right out of the box
at the start of his program. Oh that's chain Smokers,
you know, Curtis EDM. Electronic dance music, that's for sure.
Under the kajjuiceco bridge. We saw Nancy and him there

(36:37):
like really grooving into it, and it was. It was
a great concert. And we loved Chain Smokers all their songs,
but especially Don't Let Me Down. I liked the version
with Daya singing. And then you got to Alex Paul
and Drew Taggart And this is what we do in
the wee hours in the morning to decompress at the
slaverer household with our six cats. That's tried. If you

(37:01):
don't like it, tough noogies. But we listen to a
lot of EDM and we watched the reruns of The Office.
As I told you, my favorite episode is the snowball fight.
Was that not great? You know when there was a
little dusting of snow and Scranton, Pennsylvania. Now there's a

(37:21):
threat of more inclement weather in the air. Anyway, the
point is that's what we do to decompress. I can
I listen to talk radio all day. Sorry, gives me
a headache, gives me a migraine. It's two repetitious. It's
like you want to do good talk radio, You've got
to do two hours of preparation for every one hour

(37:42):
on the air, and you gotta be entertaining. I don't
need to hear what was on the news from the
day before. I got it already. But maybe, like you'll
hear coming up a little education on Somalians and Somali's
and also the ripoffs that have taken place there that
have gotten everyone bent out of shape, as they should.

(38:03):
But now that it started, and this is good FBI,
you know, Department of Homeland Service says, are we going
to do that in other communities, including amongst many of
our political allies in France. Oh, that maybe is where
you want to draw the line. But anyway, High five

(38:23):
to Lenny Lowpate of having me as the first question
out of the box. Quick point I had been fired.
I think it was like ninety three, right at the
point that Rudy Giuliani was elected mayor, and as I mentioned,
I went to his inauguration, sitting there watching little Andrew
Giuliani climb up the podium at Chris Farley popularized on

(38:46):
Saturday Night Live. Those were great bits. But also David Dinkins,
who I did not support, felt was a horrible mayor,
was a gentleman and attended the inauguration to show the
passing of the mayoralty. And Rudy calls me up. He says,

(39:07):
I understand he got fired at WABC. I like you
to come over to WNYC, which at that time was
owned by the City of New York along with its
TV station. And when we said we got to get
out of the business of subsidizing radio and TV, we
got these two big sticks. I'm sure there are commercial
outlets that'll be more than happy to have them. I

(39:28):
want you to come over do a program. You know,
they're all bent out of shape thinking you're going to
come over and just do it about communities. Nobody knows
more about New York City than you. I said, of course,
we couldn't know everything about the three hundred and fifty
neighborhoods to make up the city. And I went over
there and it was like mixing among you with bleach.
They were all bent out of shape. Oh, very liberal,

(39:50):
very progressive. And the guy on before me, because I
was on from two to four was the cultural guy,
Lenny Lopate no longer alive, and he introduced me to
the audience by saying, and now you're gonna hear from
the guy that was forced on to us by Mayor
Alec Rudy Giuliani, a guy who, uh, the best he

(40:12):
can do is read magazine covers and comic books. And
I said, oh, really, Lenny, huh, that's that's all I'm
known for, reading magazine covers and comic books. And then
he broke wild on me. He just he lost it.
He says, I know you. You went to a prestigious
Judguit high school. They kicked you out Brooklyn Prep. I

(40:34):
went to Eastern District High School. I lived in a
coldwater flat where the toilet was all the way down.
We had to share it on the floor. Guy went,
I mean wild, He went Ghettowamie. I lasted all the
seven months I could not be there. That was not
my place to be WNYC And I ended up being

(40:55):
hired back at WABC. He had to do overnights by
a guy named Don Belucas, who is the channel manager.
Because the program director, John Minelly said, you will never
work here at w ABC and come on, I noticed business. Okay,
they come, they go, and I got back there, but
I shout out to Lenny Loped. You know, he was

(41:15):
one of the three moderators in that second debate that
broke all records in terms of people watching, the New
York one hosted at LaGuardia Community College. You had Eron Lewis,
he was the moderator. You had Katie Katie hanland oh
Man mis pronouncing her name, I get it right from

(41:37):
the city. And then of course there was Brian Lair
and they had it was a good debate, a fair debate,
fair to Cuomo, fair to me, fair to zor on
olthough that's the one he was schmitzing it. Remember that's
the one where we had him on the ropes. It
was a TKO. It wasn't a ko. And all of
this leading into his inauguration and as I said, the

(41:59):
song by the Class, the greatest counterculture band of all time.
Should I stay or should I go? Hm to be determined,
But this light of the Cheech and Chang album, remember Class,
Class Class, and everyone shut up? Was that systema Mary

(42:25):
Mark and common Sita whatever, We're gonna have a little
lesson on Somalia, since everyone is a newfound expert on
the corruption in Minnesota that has come with the migration
of refugees from the Somalian Civil War. It occurred back
in the early nineties. Remember it was Bush forty one

(42:47):
who was going to bring him bread and peace and love.
And then all of a sudden the warlords turned their
guns on the Americans and we were at war. There's
no other way to describe it. Oh, it's a police act.
You know, it was a war. And again, Somalia was
part of the Italian provinces then Benito Mussolini was before

(43:11):
World War Two. Somalia. Then there was Eritrea, always at
war with Ethiopia, and then of course Libya before Momar
Kaddafi came around with in his drug induced psychosis. They
were all Italian provinces. You know. I found out about it.
I was gone to a Lady of Miracles rectory where

(43:31):
the head preached, the monsignor was Father Siminetti, and he
had a big picture of Benito Mussolini taking care of
all the natives from and that case was Ethiopia. My
mother had taken me there because she wanted me to
be an altar boy. I did not want to be

(43:52):
an altipoi for a lot of reasons. You know what
I'm hinting at. But I was patronizing the monseie, your
father Samenetti, who was eyeballing me a little too nicely,
and he was explaining to me how Yeah, Benito Muzzolini
was a benevolent dictator. He took care of the people
in Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya. It would have been better

(44:15):
for them better. Wasn't he our enemy? Yeah? Yeah, but
there was a lot of misunderstandings. I knew right then
and there. I didn't want to be anywhere near this
munds in your father semene years ahead. He is one
of many of the priests that were found to be
perving yep, altar boys, in which the Archdiocese of Brooklyn,

(44:41):
Queens was paying out millions and millions of dollars. You see.
My intuition was, Mom, Francesca, my beloved mother, who would
go to the Olvina's, would go to the stations of
the Cross whenever cursed, would do the rosaries. Mom, I'm
not becoming an altar boy. So I became a choir boy,
and you wore all red nuns took care of you.
The nuns, they were pious, they were chased, they were

(45:04):
true believers, they were married to Jesus Christ. They had
the wedding band on. You went into the rectory. Boy,
the priests were ostentatious. Hey, you know, where'd you get this?
You didn't get this carpet from Kalfumi carpet, that's for sure. Wow,
that looks like design of furniture. Trust me, never liked
the priests. I always trusted the nuns. And that's where

(45:26):
my intuition saved me at that point from who knows,
possibly becoming another victim of that monster. But let's talk
him all about Somalia. Many of you became familiar with
Somalia when you were in your rock and roll days,
you know, following David Bowie, Ziggi, Stardust, You remember those
great albums. You wouldn't know is he that's before your time,

(45:50):
The Rising Fall of Ziggi, Stardust, Starman, Oh Space. Out
of these were great. But he married Iman. Whenever you
you're a one named person, you're like super spectacular. Sheery
Mom she was a high profile model for Hasace Calvin Kleines.

(46:10):
She had been married at Spencer Heywood, the basketball player.
They divorced. She had been born in Mogadishu, well before
Black Hawk Down. By the way, that reminds me a
black Hawk Down. You know what that was the result
of Bill Clinton was in charge at the time, and
he was seeking out the warlord Adid, who, by the way,

(46:32):
was doing interviews with every network in the world. You know, hey,
we're out there gonna find a deed. He's right there
in Mogadishu. He's doing interviews with CNN, with Fox News Channel,
to BBCHD couldn't find them, so they send the helicopters
in to get add the warlord, and uh, you know

(46:52):
the disaster they followed. By the way, Adid's son was
in a United States Marine trans slater at that time
for the Marines that were in Somalia. He had been
raised in Long Beach, California. When his father died because
we never got him guests who went back to Somalia

(47:14):
from Long Beach, California and declared himself to be the
warlord taking over for his father. What a mess. And then,
of course the Somalian pirates during the time of the
smooth operat of Barack Obama so much about Somalia, and
so many of you have no idea where it is
in the map, what its history is. All you want

(47:36):
to know is about all the fraud as you should
want to know of what maybe ten billion dollars they
got ripped off from the tax bears. When we come back,
I'll explain a little bit of that, But then I'll say,
we're not gonna stop here, are we? Because you know
they're Democrats, they voted in a block they vote in

(47:56):
a block code language. We're not gonna stop here, are we.
We're gonna go after our friends too, those that are
supportive of our politics, those who have ripped us off
over the years to the tune of billions and billions
of dollars. Right, we are gonna go the whole nine yards, right, FBI,
all the federal agencies. Not just after our perceived political enemies.

(48:20):
We're gonna go after our friends. Still want to bet
we don't one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
It's seven ten war. This is your new place to
be street smart, straight talk.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Curtis leewa guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten War.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Well, all the talk is about Somalia and Somalians who
migrated to America during the Civil War, mostly in the Minneapolis,
but some to Lewiston, Maine, where I saw them back there.
That was the site of the second Cassius Clay Sonny

(49:08):
Listening fight. Although Cassius Clay had become Muhammad Ali, he
all of a sudden was following the teachings of the
nation of this almost sixty five. They chose Lewiston because
they wanted to have the fight in the Boston Garden
round two, but they were threats because he was now
Muhammad Ali said, they went to Lewiston, Maine. God, And

(49:32):
when I went up there after being in Portland, Maine,
very nice town. It's sort of like a lot of
Samaralans there. And some of the same charges of being
made of fraud investigations, mostly involving medicaid. And you heard
it all and seen it all. That young man Nick Shirley,
who I've met many times, he sort of like a documentarian,

(49:55):
did a forty five minute video I suggest you or
look at it. Talks about to ten years of investigations
that supposedly were taking place about no children being inside
the building, daycare, universal childcare, money being paid out billions,
and obviously people getting lined. They were getting wine, dine

(50:18):
pocket lined in the Somalian community. And ilhan Omar when
elected had nothing, had belly button lint, and all of
a sudden, the next year she had thirty MILS. So
this is all good. We want this, We want us
to root out fraud because it costs you and me money.

(50:39):
But does it stop here because it is a block vote?
Remember the term block vote. Does it stop here because
they're Democrats, They're going to vote for Democrats. It's a democratic,
predominaly democratic state. And for any of you you want
to get that governor one way or the other. Right, No, okay, good, good.

(51:01):
If the investigation leads to that, good you gotta go.
And by the way, the call is is that if
you are a naturalized Somalian citizen and your foul guilty
of fraud, you gotta go too. Well, you gotta have
due process. But I don't have a problem with that.
But now that was starting in twenty fifteen, is he

(51:25):
twenty twenty? You remember the lockdown and pandemic, right, you
remember all the money that the Trump administration had to
issue unprecedented because our country and the world was becoming
well dissolving fiscally. So the Secretary of Treasury was writing
out checks, writing out checks, stimulus checks, paycheck protection programs,

(51:51):
moneies for businesses big and small to keep employees working.
Remember that it was like four trillion dollars. So we
did is what we always do in the federal government
print money. That's why we have a thirty eight trillion
dollar debt that both parties contribute to. None of them
want to cut to it. Are so four trillion more dollars?

(52:12):
You know how much of that was stolen? They asked
the man about five hundred billion out of four trillion.
Were some allions part of the I don't know, maybe,
but fake businesses that were set up loans on behalf
of nonexistent or shell companies. That's a little sophisticated businesses

(52:33):
claim hundreds of nonexistent employees to secure larger payments, and
companies receive loans but laid off workers anyway and spent
the money on bling bling sports cars and mansions were
some of them. Some allions possibly, but a lot of

(52:54):
them were people just like you and me that are
listening now. Some of you, in fact, may say, oh, Curtis,
please don't mention my name. They haven't caught up to
me yet. Yeah. By the way, they haven't caught up
to almost everybody. Five hundred billion dollars that was stolen
from the COVID money they had to be issued to

(53:14):
keep to the country solvent. There was no oversight whatsoever.
We could go back over that and say they should
have been, could have, would have. But that's not the
only thing. We got medicaid mills all over our Chi
state area, three or four practitioners, high volume. They build medicaid,
not comprehensive care. You walk in there, are you a doctor?

(53:39):
Why you need to know? And they built us for
millions and millions of dollars. And then the president likes
to say, hey, we're bombing more of those boats off
of Venezuela because you know they're bringing infent and on
it's killing like close to well, you say, the other
day two hundred and fifty thousand a boat, two hundred

(54:01):
and fifty thousand people whose lives are saved. Such nonsense.
First of all, there's no fenton All going through Venezuela.
But I would say to the president. He was very
concerned about oxy contin and oxy codone. And a lot
of Americans died every year on that one hundred thousand, right,
especially annaplasia. A lot of Red States too, painkiller. You

(54:27):
see that. You see that documentary, that movie you see
dope sic? Did you see that one? I'm trying to
remember who we see actor? They did a great job,
Michael Keaton about the Sacler family, the Purdue Pharmaceutical company
family owned, how they made billions and were responsible for

(54:48):
the crime of the century addicting America the oxy conton
an oxy codone. Uh. Did they go to jail for that?
Is he No? Did they pay fines for that?

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Did we send in F fourteen jets and bomb their mansion?

Speaker 1 (55:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:16):
And there were a lot of Republicans that knew that
was taking place in the medicaid mills and through medicare
in their states. Nothing was done, So no problem going
after the fraud by the Somalis in Minneapolis and ilheiomar

(55:36):
aploit or well, let's not stop. What about all the
pelgrants that were issuing on Chi State area for students
that didn't exist, for schools that didn't exist. You know
what I'm talking about. Come on, I know you're getting
nervous out there. Look, this is Mark some own show.
He will be back in fac on the fifth. I'll

(55:58):
be here on the second. So before we start pointing
the fingers, let's make sure now that we go after
all the fraud. Are we ready to do that? Or
are we only ready to go after the fraud perpetuated
by political enemies and not political friends? Huh? You see,

(56:21):
this is a question you get a chance to answer here.
It's your turn to be heard. One eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten on what I hope is
your newfound station for some of you who have been
wandering up and down on the dios sevent ten, the

(56:41):
Voice of New York, because it certainly is for me
and Nancy. One eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Are we gonna go after our friends, those that we
know stole from us the taxpayers? Or are we gonna
protect them because they'really aligned with us? There's gonna be

(57:02):
a double standard. I bet you there will be talk
radio with Street Crab literally.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Curtis Leewad joined sevent ten w R to guess those
from Mark Zamo.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
All right, my phone is blowing up, people saying, you're
not gonna be talking about me, are you? Curtis? Wait
and see. Well, not on the Mark Simo show. He'll
be back on the fifth. But there will be a
time and a place. I'm gonna set it off because
I know where everybody's bones are buried and who buried them.

(57:40):
So when we talk about this fraud by Somalians in Minneapolis, Minnesota, good,
let's get that money back. Let's put them in jail
if necessary, to port them. Let's do that from ilin
holm Omar right on down. But are we gonna stop there?
Are we going to look in our own backyard, to
our own communities, see in the Tri state area and
beyond where those ripoffs have been going on since nineteen

(58:04):
seventy five by different religious groups, ratio groups, secular groups,
what I call the industrial complex, nonprofit centers. Just with
our shelters here in New York City, you know there
are five hundred contracts that result in kickbacks. When Eric

(58:28):
Adams on the way out, crying, moaning and groaning, I
didn't do anything wrong. Seven billion dollars, he spent on
the illegal aliens, no big contracts and his crony's got
kickbacks on what are we gonna get that money? Huh?
They're gonna go after him, of course not. And what
about comrade Buildeblasil the part time may have the dope

(58:49):
from part Slope over five years one point five billion
dollars on a fake phony, fraudulent PAGESI program called Thrive
that he had his gryftil wife Charlene in charge of.
And I never heard one testimonial of one emotionally disturbed
persons that were supposed to being served to say. You know,
if not for Thrive, I might have taken my own life.

(59:14):
I thank for it now it's a rip off. This
is just one of many Democrats and Republicans. So remember,
don't just look at those who are on the opposite side.
Gotta look at your own too. Let's go if we
can to murphew, I think he's calling from. Is that Pennsylvania?

(59:40):
Your turn to be heard here at seven to ten?
Wor yes, Murphy, No, it's Keith, Oh, Keith, I see
is he here? Spelling problem? Were you a product of
social promotion? Is he okay?

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Curtis got a question for you. Any chance you and
Avery get back, because that was the funniest radio I've
ever heard, better than Stern in his heyday. Oh yeah,
that I used to do overnight with Avery. He was
the board hop and we would do riffs that were
very entertaining. That's why, you know, enough of the political
talk it gives me migrating. So know it's maybe Avery

(01:00:23):
too will eventually end up here at w or right right, Well,
see that would be goodeah man. There are so many
refugees from WABC, which is always bashing Curtis, probably doing
that as we speak. Let's go to Kathy's calling from Brooklyn.
Your turn to be heard here at seven to ten.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
Wor Hey, Curtis, I just wanted to say that you
know that most of the common denominator is Dems. The
Dems knew what was going on, most likely in Minnesota,
they did nothing about it because everybody was getting their
pockets line. But don't sound hurt, Curtis. Don't change who

(01:01:04):
you are by the way many of your so called
friends and co workers treated you, and I and many
others believed in you, so don't disappoint us by turning
into the same two faced people who stabbed you in
the back. Curtis, Please don't change who you are.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
No, no, no, I won't. I won't. I promise you
that everybody listening crush my heart and hope to die.
Remember how we would say that as kids, crush my
heart and hope to die. How many of our friends
and our cousins said that just to play kate their
parents or anyone of course my aunt and hope to die.
I didn't love. I didn't look no, no, no no,

(01:01:45):
I'm not going to follow some of them who believe
that gold. Whoever has the gold makes the rules. They
follow the money. Like Eric Adams. Oh yeah, the price
was right for him to drop out. You ever admit
how how many millions he gotta as he you think
they offered me? Ten? I hear they offered him double

(01:02:07):
that he dropped out. I didn't so extrapolate from that. Well,
do you believe as I believe in? I know most
of you who are listening in the Golden rule do
unto others as you would have them do unto you.
And it's not about following the money. Let's go to Pam,
who's calling from New Jersey. You're turning to be heard

(01:02:29):
he on seven to ten wor Pam.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
Hey, Curtis, I've got a funny story, at least it
is to me. You know, those hosts that were mocking
people who like cats and calling us, you know, crazy
and disturbed and all this and that, and they think
they're all that. Well, within a seventeen hour period, I
would say, Steve, you know Steve, he calls them like
four to seven times at the minimum, sometimes twice in

(01:02:56):
the same hour, and with a different name and a
different access, and they fall for it every time. I
have to chuckle about that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
No, you're absolutely right. They got no ear for that.
Remember the first call I took here substudy for Mark Simone,
I realized that was a fake name and a fake voice.
If you've been doing this long enough, I've been doing
it a total love in Uh. When the ball drops
in Times Square will be thirty six years doing talk

(01:03:28):
radio in one form or another. You could be if
you're listening, you see, that's the point. You gotta listen,
and then you get these callers who will get through
and you as the listeners out there, most of you
who will never call a talk radio program. It's such
a miniscule number of the call and really more of
you should kind of talk radio that I do. I

(01:03:48):
really like new callers. I want adversarial callers. I want
people who make you think and make you maybe reassess
the positions that you took instead of the amen choir.
I mean, I know listening. I know he's listening right
now doing the show prep. Greig Kelly at w ABC

(01:04:11):
all the same callers, sickle fans. Dominic called it the
same caller, sickle fans. Hey can't handle a negative phone
call or the phone screen that drops them? What do
you mean drop them? I want to hear what that
person has to say, because sometimes you, as the host,
the host, that you have to acknowledge Now you got me,

(01:04:31):
you were right. I've had to do that many times
in my life. You see our elected officials they never
say that. Trump never does, Adams never did, Cuomo never did.
That's so synonymous with elected officials will never acknowledge when
they're wrong, or they'll never acknowledge like you just taught

(01:04:52):
me something. Let me reassess the position that I took
to Oh, by the way, I had teased you all
about that freak. Jeffrey Epstein and the number of shrinks
and psychologists now who all are self appointed experts on
why this guy was such a degenerate with so many

(01:05:14):
rich friends and influential people who knew what he was
doing but decided to put window shades on their eyes
and cotton balls in their ears. And this one psychologists
who actually attributed to him binging on junk food as
a direct contributor to his degenerate, perverse way of life. Wait,

(01:05:39):
wait till you hear this. You ain't going nowhere. Let's
keep it right here on your newfound station seven to
ten w OR the Voice of New York. The Beret
is back.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
Curtis Leeva guest host The Mark Simone Show on sevent ten.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
WOA, Big Story, Madre Telor Green No More. Trumper says
the final straw was when President Donald Trump was screaming
at her over the phone how she could not vote
to release all the Epstein files, not because he's implicated
he's not, but because some of his friends are. Now

(01:06:16):
the question is do you believe her or do you
believe him? I believe her. And then out of the
many files that have been released with us supposedly a
million more to come right, Pam Bondi, where are all
those files? What a liar she was. There's a psychologist
who waited in and said that Jeffrey Epstein is sexual freak,

(01:06:39):
that his appalling sexual predations with the result of him
ordering all these young foods on Amazon that went to
pedophile Island. Now look at this list. See if you
yourself have an insatiable appetite for Hostess ding Dongs, for
Drake's coffee cakes, ring Dings, Twinkies, Devil Dogs, tutsiro pops,

(01:07:04):
and baby Ruths. She claims that his appalling sexual predations
could be culturally associated with adolescence and his massive need
to consume junk food, and she gets paid for that.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
