FULL SHOW: Senator Mark Kelly under fire; Did Trump play Mamdani?

Tomorrow is expected to be one of the busiest days of the year, with experts predicting it could even break records as the busiest Thanksgiving travel day in history. With airports bracing for large crowds, some are wondering if dressing more casually while traveling might actually foster greater respect and empathy among passengers. In other news, the Trump Administration is appealing the dismissed cases against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faced allegations of mortgage fraud, and former FBI Director James Comey, who was accused of lying to Congress. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Will Mark be on one of the floats at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year? Seafood may be a popular dish to have during Thanksgiving. The Democrats most likely lost support due to a video surfacing that allegedly undermines the military. Mark has intriguing insights to share about the benefits of eating foods containing pumpkin. Meanwhile, a recent discovery in New York City, twenty-four years after the events of 9/11, has brought to light boxes containing detailed records of the air quality at the time. These findings raise new concerns regarding the transparency of political officials who were in charge of the city during that period, especially as more citizens and first responders have reported long-term health issues linked to exposure to the toxic smoke from the collapsing buildings. The revelation of these records may further erode public trust in those officials. Mark interviews former Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Curtis shares his firsthand observations of rising crime across New York City’s boroughs. Sliwa expresses concern about the visible spike in criminal activity, especially after midnight when fewer NYPD officers are on duty, increasing the city’s vulnerability. Also, Andrew Cuomo’s political future, with speculation about whether the former governor plans to remain active in the political arena or seek future office, looks strong.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this is the Mark Simon Show on sevent.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Ten war.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Hey, so what's the day Tuesday? All right, Now, everybody's
kind of leaving. I'm actually taking the rest of the
week off. But everybody's kind of fleeing, leaving radio TV.
You know, you watch Fox whatever, you while, you notice
all the hosts are gone. They're on the C list guests,
same thing, MSNBC. Everybody's leaving, you know, late night TV reruns.

(00:32):
Everybody takes off the rest of the week. The President
will leave later today and head to mar Alago. I
think you can turn that off now, we don't need
a whole soundtrack. The President will go to mar A
Lago later today. They actually have the tree's delivered to
the White House. There's a tree ceremony, and I think

(00:54):
he does that pardoning the turkey in fact, last year's turkey. Yeah,
the should check see if that's auto pen on that.
So that's today, and then late in the day actually
about I think five six o'clock, the President will leave
head tomorrow. Lago arrived there around nine pm tonight and
he'll be there until Sunday night. So he's taking the

(01:16):
rest of the week off. Hey, we we'll get to
call me and Letitia James what this means as far
as their case. We'll get to the MAMDANNI meeting. We're
getting more and more detail on exactly what happened there.
We'll get to everybody loves Raymond. We'll get to Times
Square in New Year's Eve, We'll get to the MAMDANNI
transition team and more. Now, today's Tuesday. Tomorrow's the big

(01:41):
travel day. Most people will travel tomorrow. It's going to
be the busiest Thanksgiving travel season ever. It's expected that
eighty two million people will be traveling. A's by training
car playing eighty two million people traveling this Thanksgiving. Now

(02:01):
the good news. Air traffic controllers are all back to work.
Everything's back full schedule. Everything's back up to speed with
air traffic control. But tomorrow's the biggest travel day of airlines.
They call it their super Bowl. Here's the airline spokesman.
It's going to be a busy week for us, the airlines,
the travel sector in general, airports, TSA, FAA, especially for us,

(02:26):
this week is our super Bowl, all right. I think
our super Bowl is a little more exciting than yours.
But okay, now, hey, Sean Duffy the Transportation secretary. I
don't know what got them on this kick, but you
know they've been having a lot of trouble on airplanes
with the rowdy passengers, fights breaking out, people half naked,

(02:47):
people with bare feet, putting them up on the seat
and like bare feet right next to somebody else's head.
And it's been absolutely disgusting years and years ago. You know,
you're back and watch mad Men when Don Draper has
to fly somewhere either everybody on the plane has a
suit and tie. The stewardesses are all beautiful, well dressed,
and they're serving lobster and champagne. And the cart comes

(03:10):
down the island. They're carving this this juicy steak. This
was airline travel back then, back in the fifties and sixties.
It was Pan America, and it was the most elegant
way to travel. Everybody was dressed beautifully, it was first
class all the Now what happened, well, truth is, airline
travel was expensive back then. You know, you paid today's

(03:33):
in today's dollars. You were pay thousands of dollars for
the airplane ticket. So and then things got cheap. You know,
remember it was the first one was people's Express where
I think that was the first one in the seventies
where you could fly for like sixty eight bucks. All
of a sudden, it's very cheap. And then there were
more cheap airlines, and then the real airlines had to

(03:54):
start competing, so they had to bring down the ticket prices.
So now it's cost nothing to fly. You gotta fly
to Florida and back, it's two hundred dollars a round trip,
whereas back in the Don Draper days it was four thousand,
five thousand. So back then you had all the wealthy,
you know, well dressed to people on planes, and the
people with the cheap tickets were all on greyhound buses.

(04:15):
But now the airlines got cheaper than the greyhound buses.
So everybody's a slob on the airlines. But Duffy, Transportation
Secretary Sean Duffy wants to go back to that golden
age of air travel where people dress up in a
suit and tie, and he thinks if you're dressed up,
that would change your behavior. He's probably right, you know,
if you're dressed up, you behave a little differently. You know,

(04:35):
you gotta go to a wedding or funeral, and people
that never get dressed up or suddenly in a suit
and tie, and it stiffens him up. They behave a
little better.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
But here's Duffy maybe dressing with some respect, you know,
whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt.
I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better,
which encourage us, encourages us to maybe behave all a
little better.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now, he's absolutely right. Of course, he's insane. He's crazy.
Nobody's going to do this. Nobody, nobody's going to do this.
You're not gonna get anybody to do Hey, you go
to a funeral. Now people are in sweatsuits. If people
just don't dress up anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Tomorrow will be the busiest day. There'll be fifty two
thousand flights tomorrow as Americans board aircraft fly across the country.
Maybe they're gonna go to sporting events, they're going on vacation,
or hopefully they're going to spend time with their families.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Now you go to the hottest restaurant in Manhattan, the
most expensive, hottest, everybody's dressed like a slob. Now, there
are certain restaurants that required a jacket and tie, you know,
the twenty one Club, the Four seasons, let's cirque you
had to wear a jacket and tie. You'll notice they're
all clothed and out of business. So it doesn't work
in today's world. You're not I mean, I like to

(05:44):
get dressed up, but you're not going to convince everybody
to put on a suit and tie to get on
the plane. Now. I hate to say it, but nowadays
people somewhere they got one suit and one tie and
it's only for a funeral if they got to go
to court. For a lot of people, especially these badly
behaved people, the only time they're going to wear a
suit is when they're the defendant on trial. And speaking

(06:08):
of trials, the Comy case and the Letitia James case
both thrown out by a left wing judge. They will
bring back the cases. They will be appealed. You know,
Komy was out there doing his victory dance. He should
probably stop that because it is going to get appealed. Definitely.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Sure, we'll be taking all available legal action, including an
immediate appeal, to hold Letitia James and James Comy accountable
for their unlawful conduct.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Now they will be on trial. This here's the thing.
Remember when it first happened, call mey put out that video.
You know, Comy is this weirdo, pompous, sanctimonious guy, and
he put out this video. I am innocent, Let's go
to trial. I want to try this to show you
how innison I am. Let's go to trial. Well, they
got no court and he didn't argue the case at all.
All they did was try to find some technical difficulty

(07:02):
with the prosecutor to get the case dismissed on a technicality,
and that's how the judge threw it out. So there
was no ruling of any kind on Komy's guilt or
Letitia James's guilt. Nothing. This was strictly the technical stuff
about the prosecutor that you have to be confirmed by
the Senate. This prosecutor was appointed as an interim prosecutor,

(07:26):
interim temporary prosecutor. So they argued that it was she
had used up her allotted one hundred and twenty day
interim appointment and then she was beyond one hundred and
twenty day dead. It's just silly nonsense, but that's how
got turned out. Now they can simply get another prosecutor,
which would be easy to do. They could do that.
They could have somebody else to do the case. The

(07:48):
only problem with Komy there is a statute of limitations,
and I think we just went past it, so they'd
have to. But it was in the middle of this trial.
So normally you could argue to get a grace period,
a six to eight month grace period on that statute
of limitations. The judge can deny it. In fact, in

(08:08):
the ruling, this was a Bill Clinton, left wing Comy
lovin swamp judge who in the decision puts something in
there about I don't feel this is this case would
have a grace period apply to it for statute of limitations.
So this judge was doing everything to protect Camy. Comy

(08:31):
was again doing his victory dance all over TV yesterday.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me,
which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence and
a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become
under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh god, it's heartbreaking. Oh my god. There are a
couple of cases you could argue that maybe it's a
weapon is SA. You could maybe argue a couple of
these cases, well, call me there were a thousand cases
that were no doubt. Weapon is a total weaponization. This
guy made up the whole Russia hoax, total weaponization. Look,

(09:08):
I call me went after everybody and anybody. Uh So,
it's I mean, that's the irony of this whole thing
that he's being accused of doing. He's accusing Trump of
doing what he's the most guilty of in the history
of the FBI, worse than j Edgar Hoover.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters
most because a message has to be sent that the
President of the United States cannot use the Department of
Justice to target his political enemies.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
No, that's call me's job. Let him do that.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
I don't care what your politics are. You have to
see that as fundamentally Unamerican and a threat to the
rule of law that keeps all of us free.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah. I've met called me a few times. He actually
talks like this, believe it or not. When you meet
him just socially, he's like the sanctimonious Hello, he's very
she's a very serious, pompous voice. So the case will
come back. Now in the case of Letitia James, there's
no statute of limitations problem that case will proceed. She's

(10:10):
absolutely If you look at the paperwork, it looks like
she's absolutely guilty of mortgage frauds. So her they got
I don't see how they don't end up convicting her.
She's going to have a real problem. But call me.
They got to go over all these technicalities. Hey, if
you watch fake news NBCCBSABC, MSNBC, if you watch the

(10:30):
fake news networks, they'll give you this stuff about the
prosecutor who has no experience as a prosecutor. She was
appointed prosecutor without any experience as a prosecutor. She has
no prosecutorial experience. They keep making a big point out
of this, but because it's fake news, they never point
out that that's not unusual. Many many US attorneys that
are appointed have no experience as a prosecutor. It's pretty

(10:53):
I mean, many of them do, but many of them don't.
You know what good example is Chris Christy. He was
never a prosecutor. He was appointed US attorney with no
experience as a prosecutor. In fact, he'd just been a
regular corporate lawyer. He'd never even been in a courtroom before.
When he was made US attorney. And if you watch
him on that Sunday morning show, you know he's always

(11:15):
giving you that. You know, as a prosecutor. As a
former prosecutor, I can tell you well, he became a
prosecutor just because he was a big donor, bundler for
George W. Bush And the reward was US attorney in
New Jersey. Never been a prosecutor. It's not unusual. Happens
all the time. So we'll see where that case goes.
Nothing will happen till after Thanksgiving. This everybody's going away. Hey,

(11:37):
the Trump Mam Donnie meeting. All right, here's so we're
learning more and more about this meeting. It was broken
by he doesn't want his name mentioned. It's a big, big, big, big,
big New York business name, huge business name who had
a very good relationship with Mam Donnie. Big business guy.

(11:58):
He broke at the meeting. He admits it was Mam
Donnie who wanted the meeting. A top Mom Donnie inner
circle person approached him to see if he could set
up the meeting. He talked with the President, he talked
with the White House. They were open to the meeting
and they agreed to it. Now one of the conditions

(12:21):
was that Mam Donnie, they asked that he not come
in there and if there were a press conference afterwards
starts spewing his left wing nonsense. He agreed not to
do that, to keep it, keep it in check, and
they agreed to the meeting. So, uh, it took place. Now,
apparently the why would Mamdani reach out and pull strings
trying to get a meeting with the president. Why was

(12:43):
it so important to him, Well, apparently after he got elected.
One of the things that happens is you meet with
the current mayor, the current city hall people, the current governor,
the current government. You meet with them and they show
you the books. Basically, they show you everything, show you
all the inside stuff, the files, the secrets. So he's

(13:04):
looking through the financials of it and he realizes New
York has a huge budget problem and then if he
wants to do any of these programs, pay for even
a few of them, he's going to have a problem.
And he also under law, now you have to balance
the city budget. You can't go into debt. So he
was briefed on the budget and he saw that a

(13:26):
major part of it is seven point five billion in
federal aid. There's no way you can get that budget
to work without that seven point five billion in federal
aid to the city. So he saw it was crucial.
The whole budget is going to face a seventeen billion
dollar budget deficit in the next fiscal year. You have

(13:48):
to balance that according to the law. So he absolutely
has to have that federal money. If Trump cuts off
the federal money, he is dead. Not only do all
his programs disappear. Anything he wants to do is going
without the federal money. But he's got a major budget crisis.
He could have a shortfall of as much as eight

(14:09):
billion dollars. So that's why he's got to make sure
that federal money doesn't stop. It's the only thing that
keeps his administration alive. So that's why he wanted the meeting.
That's why he wants to get along with Trump. Trump
wants the meeting because he wants me. You know, like
any crazy person you're dealing with, Kim Jong un or

(14:30):
Putin or whoever, you want to meet with them, try
to work something out with them. Trump is playing nice
for now, but he can go, you know, rough at
any time. So they want to work out something with
to keep deporting the illegals, the criminal illegals and all that.
He wants the police. Trump wants the police force to
be top notch here in New York, total law enforcement.

(14:53):
So if mont Donnie, you know, doesn't do the right
thing on either of those, Trump can stop the turn
off the money flow, and Mom Donnie will be in
huge financial trouble. So he agreed to a lot of things.
He agreed not to antagonize Trump. Next year they're going
to have this big, big budget problem. So that's the

(15:13):
reason it all took place. They got off to a
good start. Now Trump can go nasty at any point
if he wants. Mom Donnie really doesn't have any leverage
on this, As Trump said Tola Zelenski, you don't have
the cards right now. So Mam Donnie will probably behave
most important thing is of the crime situation. He will

(15:34):
leave the police department alone. We hope that's the one
thing he agreed with Trump on leave the police department alone,
let him clean up the crime. Anyway, we'll get back
to that. We'll get to the Ukraine. It looks like
there's going to be a peace deal. As crazy as
that peace plan was, as pro Russia as that police
plan was. Looks like they're working something out. You may

(15:54):
have an agreement within a week. Meetings are taking place
as we speak. We'll get to hey. New Year's Eve,
they unveiled the new ball. You know, every fifteen twenty
years they do a new ball. You know, the ball
drops on New Year's Eve. It used to be light bulbs,
and it became LEDs and then when all digital. The

(16:15):
new ball. This one is huge. It's twelve feet in diameter.
It's much much, much bigger than the other balls, be
much more visible. It's all circles. The old one was triangles.
It's all circles, so it can do amazing effects. It's
it's on display in times square if you want to
go look at it. Anyway, We've got a lot to

(16:36):
get to. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Set up preset on the iHeartRadio app to dou wor

Speaker 8 (17:19):
Stop why you want me to stop? I'm up to five.

Speaker 3 (17:24):

Okay. Now I call to wish you a happy Thanksgiving?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Well thanks? Now, how do you what is Thanksgiving like
in Nevada in the desert.

Speaker 8 (17:34):
Well, I'm going to tell you. You know him a
very old day, Mark, So I don't know how many
Thanksgivings God has for me if he wants. I'll be
ninety six in February. Do you believe that we're.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Still working as a hooker in Las Vegas?

Speaker 8 (17:48):
I know, well no, all my clients are dead and
buried and not but Mark, this is going to be
the first year with having prime roast, no term. Well,
I always like the sides anyway. I'm not a turkey fan.
I like the side stuffing sweet potato.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
But all right, well that's good. Well, have a great Thanksgiving. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know. Do we still have that turkey every year?
I love turkey, but a lot of people don't. And
she's right, have whatever you want for Thanksgiving. You know,
every day for a week and a half, we've had
these Thanksgiving buffets here at iHeart. There's one right now
in front of the Elvis studio. This is the one

(18:28):
fifth full Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey Cranberry's are stuffing pumpkin. Fifth
one I've had in a week and a half. I've
gotta be honest, I can't have another Thanksgiving dinner. It's
enough for the rest of the year. Let's go to
Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich how you doing.

Speaker 9 (18:44):
Thanks walk pretty good? Happy Thanksgiving? I just call me.
He's not off the hook.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
That's just going to refile once you get past the holidays, right, Oh.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, yeah, No, the case is that there was nothing
against the case. It was just simply technicality on how
the prosecutor got appointed. So it doesn't nothing to help.
Call me. He's going to argue.

Speaker 10 (19:01):
You can't wait to see these people are handcuffs and
see their mug shots for Faltitian James call me to
be'd be so awesome to see these sanctimonials.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Do we losen? Yeah, these two lawfara idiots, but call
me will now argue statute of limitations. So you remember
that video he put out the first day of this
he said, I'm ready for a trial. Let's go to trial.
Now he's fighting every technicality not to go to trial.
Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing,
Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.

Speaker 11 (19:32):
I agree they should be prosecuted it, but it's no
less infuriating that they are able to stall these cases.
You know, nobody said anything when Coangelo went to New
York from the DJ to prosecute Trump. I mean, oh,
you know what a shock, you know, in the hush
money case.

Speaker 12 (19:49):
And not the least of which any two bit, you know,
second third court judge can rule on every you know,
every order that the president may and nobody says anything.
And it's a delay tactic that works.

Speaker 11 (20:03):
Because time runs out, the buck is running on the
on the administration, and so you know.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Really what this is. It's just they got very lucky
geography wise. If this case were in a normal place,
a normal court, a normal judge, Cami would have a
big problem. But when you do it in Washington, d C.
Or this district in Virginia where it's really part of Washington,
d C. Or if you do it in New York City,
get a left wing kook, Trump hating judge who will

(20:30):
always rule against anything Trump. That's the problem. So then
if they could get this move to a normal place.
That's why Trump had a easy time in the documents cases.
It went to Florida, we had a normal, neutral, legitimate
judge instead of these left wing kooks. Let's go to
Paul in white Stone. Paul, how you doing?

Speaker 9 (20:49):
Hey, Mark, how you doing?

Speaker 13 (20:50):
You know my Bommy's bringing in.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
There's a guy on his transition team focusing on community
safety named Alex Vitally. Alex is a book college professor
who wants to abolish the police and legalize prostitution. He
doesn't allow any comments on his Facebook posts. I tried
to comment on it. I tried to call his office
at Brooklyn College.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Why why are you calling him?

Speaker 9 (21:17):
Because I want to debate him.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
I want to I want to challenge Why should you
debate him? Why should he debate you? This guy's a
left wing kook professor, that's what he believes. You're not
going to change his mind.

Speaker 14 (21:27):
You never know.

Speaker 9 (21:28):
You got to get the job.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Don't leave them, leave them alone. He's a left wing cock.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I'm not going to leave them alone.

Speaker 9 (21:35):
In fact, I'm going to expose his hypocrisy because I
asked Brooklyn college security. Has he has he indicated abolishing
campus security. They said, no, we've never.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Had any time, right, but we know what he is.
He's a left wing kook, professor. He's never been out
in the real world, probably never had a real job, he's.

Speaker 9 (21:50):
Aid, all right, so we should just ignore him instead of.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
There's nothing to expose. We know what he is as
soon as you said, professor Brooklyn, as soon as he said, profess,
you know he's a left wing cook.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
Yeah. But you can't. You can't just say, oh, all
of those people are crazy. Now I have given examples
of whyde that crazy?

Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know they're crazy. Of course they're crazy. We know
they're crazy. All right, you're not going to do anything
about it. Just devote your energy to something more useful
than a crazy kook of a college professor. They're all nuts.
If you want to do something, actually get these colleges
to start hiring normal people instead of just left wing
radical kooks to be the professor's Hey, when we come back,

(22:31):
Bill O'Reilly, We'll be with us next on seven to
ten wor.

How you doing getting ready for Thanksgiving? I hear the
rumor you're gonna be on one of the floats, amone?
Is that true?

Speaker 3 (23:11):
No, it's gonna be windy and cold and freezing.

Speaker 14 (23:16):
Have you ever been to one of those parades?

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, I've been in a few parades, not to Thanksgiving
Day one, but other parades. No, it's kind of strange
marching down the road.

Speaker 14 (23:25):
I had to work it a few times when I
was at Channel two. I just don't know why people
like to see people on floats waving. Do you have
any idea why they like to see that?

Speaker 3 (23:38):
No, I don't know why anybody would stand there for
twelve hours when you go watch the TV.

Speaker 14 (23:42):
But why do they Millions of people turn on TV's
is to watch people on floats waving everyone like animal
house and they will destroy each other. That'd be all right,
but I'm not getting it. They are they're waving, so.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
What you know?

Speaker 3 (23:59):
It's also very generational. This Donald Duck comes by and
every kid goes, who the hell is that? You know?

Speaker 2 (24:05):
They right?

Speaker 14 (24:06):
How about the rockets? I don't know one human being
who's ever seen the rockets? Do you know anybody w's
ever seen the rockets?

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, privately, I've seen a few, but not the show
as I left them. So, hey, the great historian. The
first Thanksgiving we pictured the beautifully dressed Pilgrims. They came
over in the Wonderful Mayflower. Tell us what really happened
back then?

Speaker 14 (24:30):
Well, sixteen twenty two, they're Unna may Flower. Sixty six
days they show up. They think they're in Virginia, but
they're not. They're in Cape cot Oh and it's cold, windy.
But they want off the ship because sixty six days
and they couldn't go on top of the ship. They

(24:52):
had all stayed beneath the deck. And you can imagine
the just the odor alone down there. So they all
want to can't where they were. I just want to
get off the stupid mayflower. So they row in and
they show up Plymouth. If you go up to Massachusetts,

(25:13):
the town of Plymouth, there's no rock, all right, But
they show up and then they look at each other
and goes, well, what do we do now? Any drive
in restaurants or any door dash It's like, okay, we
have to find food or will die. Half of them die,
half of them whoa yeah, within a year. And I

(25:36):
read about this in Killing the Witches, how this harrowing
voyage and the reason that they had to make it.
And they weren't called pilgrims to one hundred years later
in the nineteenth century they labeled them pilgrims. They were
called separatists or Puritans, and they were very harsh religious people,
and everybody in Europe hated them. The Dutch hated them,

(25:59):
the English hated them because they were like fanatics. They're
like the people that come to your door, you know,
and they want to convert you. That's what they were.
And so they somehow survived somehow with the help of
the Native American the guy named Squanto showed them how
to get food out of the forest, so I have

(26:20):
of them survived. But they're all quibbling and yelling at
each other in church for five hours and all of that.
So it wasn't exactly club med there, if you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
So the first Thanksgiving dinner everybody was fighting too, not
just today.

Speaker 14 (26:35):
Well now they had a dinner a courtesy of Squanto
in his a few tribe members, most of the tribe
with white gap by smallpox. And Squanto was an Indian
who was kidnapped by an English sailor and brought the Spain,
learned how to speak English and Spain, and then somehow

(26:58):
got back to Massachusetts. I don't know whether he flew
Jet blue. I don't know how he got back there.
But Squanto was a good guy and he helped him out.
So they had a three days celebration where they all
got you know, they weren't supposed to get drunk, but
believe me, they were getting drunk. And they had oysters,
mostly seafood, not turkey, not turkey or you know, mashed potatoes.

(27:24):
It's mostly seafood day ate. But they had a good
time and then From there, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
So how come we have to have turkey and stuffing
and all that. Why can't we have seafood?

Speaker 14 (27:38):
Well, a better question is why do we have the
President of the United States pardoning the turkey? Now I
heard a rumor that Senator Kelly's going to be on
that line, He's going to get partnered along with the
Kelly But I don't think that's true.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Hey, those Congress people with their silly stunt. Although it worked,
it was a pretty good stunt. But we go to
an era of trolling and stunts, and that's how we're
going to do our nation's politics.

Speaker 14 (28:06):
I know. It's so ridiculous. And a man, Donnie Trump, mean,
he was a stunt too. I wrote a column on
Billowiley dot com about this, called a stunt Factor. Yeah.
I think you're right. I think this is the future
politics as you set up this contrived nonsense. But I
don't think this worked out well for the Democrats, the

(28:27):
six of these people. I don't think they gained any currency,
except for the far left cranks. Because even if you
don't like Trump and you're going you're undermining the military. Now,
is that what you're doing here. If they had a beef,
a legitimate beef of an order that might be beyond

(28:47):
the constitutional authority of the president, I'm willing to listen
to that. But they didn't have anything. They just want
to get on television and wail about how noble they
are with a bunch of garbage.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
It was a bold solution for a problem that doesn't
exist and has So.

Speaker 14 (29:06):
The problem is there in a sense that there are
all orders given in every campaign by every president that
are dubious. I imagine being in Theanola gay I wrote
this on the column, and you got to drop the
a bomb on civilians and kill one hundred thousand of them.
I mean, that's still being debated to this day, Harry
Truman's order. But you're in the plane. I don't think

(29:27):
I think this is your leg I'm not dropping a bomb. No,
he can't, he can't have that nothing.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
So hey, Ukraine. It seemed like a silly kind of
a peace plan, too much in favor of Russia. But
it looks like they've made some progress on it looks
like something could happen.

Speaker 14 (29:44):
What do you think, Well, this is what usually happened
some Slimeball leaked out the original outline of the peace
deal to the Telegraph newspaper in London. But you know,
any negotiator, if you've ever done in negotiation in your life,
you always start with craziness. I want this, I want that,

(30:06):
and then you come back to the center. So the
President don't care about any of that. They just report
the league. I don't know exactly how this is going
to come out, but I do know that Russia is
much more powerful than Ukraine. And you know you're getting
all these dispatches from the White House saying, well, we
got this, we got that. I wouldn't count on Putin cooperating.

(30:30):
You know, if you read Confronting Evil and thank you
for mentioning it, a pop, this is a bad guy.
I mean beyond I mean, if you really want evil,
if you really want to understand it, you can read
my book. But you can also look at this Putin
and this guy he enjoys killing women and children. He
likes it, and he can. There's no restraint on him.

(30:52):
He's Hitler, he's Stolin. He does what he wants. He's
not like he has to confer with somebody. So I
don't get too optimistic about this thing. And Zelensky's got
no power at all, none, And so where is his
bargaining position? He didn't have one.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, if you want to read an amazing book, Bill O'Reilly's,
lay this book Confronting Evil. If you want to really
be stunned, read the Putin chapter. You won't believe this
guy eight. But also it's Christmas coming up. People need
to get gifts. What do you have a good deal
on your books for gifts?

Speaker 12 (31:25):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (31:25):
You know, we had a lot of good stuff. Because
I feel bad for working men and women, particularly in
the New York area. We're being gouged every time we
turn around. Fifteen dollars tun of sandwiches now and come on,
you know. So what I did on Bill O'Reilly dot
com Christmas store was we have a bundle of all

(31:46):
of my books, all fifteen thirteen, Killing two Confronting for
a very good price. And these books are in demand.
Even if you don't like me, the books are good.
And see you buy the bundle keep something for yourself
if you want, but you can give them away. You
save a ton of money on gifts, and I'll sign them.
I can. I signed five thousand books Tom and over

(32:08):
the weekend. Wow, five thousand books.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, people, you don't think, but a book is a
great Christmas gift for somebody perfect.

Speaker 14 (32:16):
Yeah, especially if it's a good book. Yeah, if they
like it. And then we got you know, the not
woke stuff we got. I have a knot woke matt
in front of my house. I saw a little message,
you know, I don't want to really hear it. And
then we have Christmas ornaments and hats and shirts and
all that stuff. And what this does is it allows
me to give nice Christmas bonuses to my staff. Yeah,

(32:39):
so so everybody, everybody wins here.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
All right, Well we're out of time, but if you
want to do some Christmas shopping, you want to get
it all taken care of, go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Books are great gifts, and all those other gifts go
to Bill O'Reilly dot com. You also get the TV show,
the column. Everything is there Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly,
thanks for being with us.

Speaker 14 (32:58):
All right, Happy Thanksgiving, have fun, Mark to you, take care.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Hey, don't forget Bucking Clay coming up at noon today
right after this show. Then you got the most listened
to radio show in America, Sean Hannity at three, Jesse
Kelly at six, and Jimmy Fayla does an excellent show.
You love it. You got to listen to it tonight
at nine on seven to ten wor here's more.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Marx Simone on seven ten WR.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Well, Hey, Curtis will be with us in the next hour.
We'll talk to him about well, lots of talk to
him about, don't right after the news on seven to
ten wo.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
He knows his whay around all this. HET's the Marximone
Show on seven ten WR.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Well, Hey, as I said, we're on are like our
fifth Thanksgiving dinner here. It's like this massive Thanksgiving buffet
every day. Turkey, the stuff, the cranberry juice, the sweet well,
all this stuff. But here's the good news. There's a
new study app that one of the healthiest things you
can eat is pumpkin. Pumpkin pure is as healthy as

(34:11):
can be. Pumpkin puree and pumpkin seeds, boost, fiber intakes,
support hard health. Now listen to this. Now we're talking
about good pumpkin you know, pumpkin pure not you know
some pumpkin pie mix with a ton of sugar and
all that which is talking about real good pumpkin pure.
It's a great source of fiber and potassium, boosts hard

(34:35):
health and counters sodium's effects on blood pressure, so it
can help lower your blood pressure. Now again important to
read the labels carefully when you're buying items like canned
pumpkin pure. Make sure it's you know, organic pumpkin is good.
Make sure it doesn't have a ton of sugar in it.
But pumpkin pie can be very, very healthy for you,

(35:00):
So that's good news. Now, the idiotic senators Mark Kelly
and the men and women in Congress, crazy Democrats, came
up with a stunt this video that they put out
addressing the military people saying if you're given an illegal order,
you do not have to follow an illegal order. And
they're going on and on and on about illegal orders

(35:21):
and getting everybody all riled up. It was just a stunt.
Nobody knows of anybody ever in our military getting an
illegal order in the last fifty years. I mean the
Meli massacre. Maybe something was illegal there, but it's absolutely ridiculous.

(35:42):
It's just a stunt. It's just trolling. But you know,
if you made up something and spread it around that's politics,
that's government. It happens. But if you're screwing around with
our military and ginning up stuff so that military men
women might disobey and order, well that's the sedition. You

(36:04):
can go to jail for that. You can actually be
executed for his sedition. If you talk about a threat
to democracy, it wasn't trespassing in the capital. It's screwing
up our military and getting our military to disobey in order.
So then you got this Senator Mark Kelly, and they're
already looking at prosecuting people. Now the Department of War

(36:29):
is investigating these people. That's the Defense Department. The other
people are out and out. They're gone from the military.
They've completely severed any ties to the military. Apparently Kelly
has not. Senator Mark Kelly is in some sort of
a retirement situation where he's still attached to the military.
In other words, he could be called back to active duty.

(36:52):
So there is talk of the Department of War calling
him back to duty and then court martialing him for
what he did. And they'll get all sanctimonious, these senators,
these congressmen and women, and they'll tell you, like Mark Kelly,
a guy who served our nation. I went into uniform
and served, you know, give you the sanctimonious, pompous speeches. Meantime,

(37:16):
he's trying to get military people all scared and frightened
and convince him that they're getting illegal orders. I mean,
that's usually what a foreign power does. That's the kind
of thing the CIA does. You go around and you
try to overthrow militaries and governments and get them to disobey.
So you could court martial this guy for it. You
could charge him with addition, there's a uniform code of
military justice. Now, there's no illegal orders being given. Nobody's ever,

(37:42):
for a second ever thought there were any illegal orders given.
They just made up this whole fake thing to create
chaos in the military. You know, Like here at iHeart,
we have very fine management, very nice people, very honorable people.
But if some people came around here and said to everybody, listen,
told to do anything illegal here, we'll have your back.

(38:03):
What Yeah, if you told anything illegal, Now seven different
people came to you and said listen, if they tell
you to do anything illegal, Well you start wondering, why
is everybody telling me? Is there's something illegal going on?
So it would cause a big problem, a morale problem,
a chaos problem. So for Mark Kelly to do this,
if you're going to do this in the agriculture department

(38:26):
is one thing, but you're doing it to our military.
You're screwing up the heads of our military men and women.
Very very very bad thing to do. So look for
charges to come against Mark Kelly and some of them.
And also, like I said that, look for him to
be recalled to service and then court martialed. And nobody
deserves it more than this guy. Hey, here's a really

(38:51):
disgusting story. You know, in nine to eleven, several hundred
people died nine to eleven down there by the World Trades,
and there were about one hundred and forty thousand people,
first responders, residents, city officials that were affected healthwise by
the nine to eleven air, by the chemicals, toxins, whatever

(39:14):
crap was in that air. And we never knew this,
but it turns out that from the beginning, somebody in
the city, some departments, some place, they did studies and
detailed exactly what was in the air, the exact chemicals
and toxins, the whole thing. Well, they've been in boxes.

(39:36):
It's now twenty four years later, the boxes have been discovered.
Apparently were a couple of hundred boxes, thousands of pages
of documents detailing what was in the air. They've discovered them,
about twenty four of them. These boxes have been made
public now. Apparently, if way back then they were released
to everybody, especially the healthcare people, detailing what was in

(39:59):
the air, it might have be made it easier and
more effective to treat the people if they knew exactly
what the chemicals and toxins were. But they were never told.
So the FDNY and other groups are furious that this
was covered up. They're demanding an investigation. Who hid those boxes,
who covered it up? Who buried this whole thing? And

(40:21):
I mean, you can't believe it, well, you can believe it.
But our city government back then, we like to think
was very honest and open, but apparently not so. Hey
Mayor Adams went to the Parky Synagogue that was the synagogue,
but the premier synagogue of Manhattan, Parky Synagogue, where these

(40:42):
they call them protesters, but really they were Muslim terrorists
that descended on Jewish worshipers going to the synagogue, and
Mayor Adams was away at the time. Jessica Tish went
there on Sunday and made a speech and apologized actually Saturday,
apologized to everybody there for the police not handling it correctly.

(41:03):
But Mayor Adams went there yesterday posed for pictures with
the Rabbi Schneier, who's one of the most influential prominent
people in the Jewish community and in New York, and
the Mayor was there. He said, I stood proudly with
Rabbi Arthur Schneier and other temple members and apparently he
apologized to them. The protesters at the Parquy Synagogue were

(41:27):
allowed to get way too close. Jessica Tish apologized for that.
They were not protesters. They were Muslim terrorists screaming all
sorts of horrible things at the people just simply trying
to go to synagogue. The President has been looking at this.
A high ranking Trump administration official said, the Feds are
getting involved. They're going to try to identify some of

(41:49):
these Muslim terrorists and go after them. Justice Department says
Assistant Attorney General said New York may have failed to
protect these congregants. Multiple federal civil rights and criminal statutes
are implicated in these events. Full investigation underway with the
US Attorney's Office Southern Districts. So you might see some arrests.

(42:10):
You might see some people prosecuted for terrorism, and that'll
be a good thing, good deterrent too for this happening again. Actually,
Curtis will be with us lady this hour. We'll ask
him about this kind of thing where the Guardian Angels
would come in to and protect people. Hey, speaking of
arresting people the louver. This brilliant heist, you know, remember

(42:31):
reading about these twelve guys or whatever, brilliantly unbelievable skill
they broke into the louver, they stole the jewels, they
got out. It was so professional, so unbelieva. Well, it
turns out it wasn't so great because two of them
were caught. Another four were just arrested today, So one
by one they're getting them all. They haven't found the
jewels yet. They don't know if it was given to

(42:53):
some private collectors, some kind of crazy sultan, some kind
of sick oh James Bond type villain who wanted just
to own them and have them something like that. They
don't know if it was that, or they were broken apart,
broken down and the Jewels sold who knows, who knows,
But a couple more arrests, they'll eventually get to the

(43:13):
bottom of this. Hey, the Epstein files, which implicate all
kinds of Democrats, Trump is not in them because Trump
had nothing to do with Epstein. After two thousand and four,
they're going to be released. They're going through them. But
apparently the Epstein files, the actual physical files, are some
kind of a target, so the FBI has to deploy

(43:35):
hundreds of officers to guard the files. The files are
kept at the Central Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia, which
is a massive two hundred and fifty thousand square foot building,
and that's where they keep billions of pages of FBI documents.
So the FBI, normally with a lot of police guarding

(43:57):
their headquarters, has them in Winchester, Virginia guarding the records
complex because Epstein's brother Mark put out some weird statement
about the files are being doctored, evidence is being removed,
so they're worried about protesters, and also they are guarding
the files right now as we speak. Hey did you

(44:20):
are you? And everybody loves Raymond Fan I'm addicted to it.
I still watch it. Every night there's a twenty episodes
of Everybody Loves Raymond on one channel or another. There's
all those we TV, ME, TV antennatv TV Land. Every
night there's Everybody Loves Raymond. It's like the new I
Love Lucy in that. Even though you've seen the episode

(44:41):
two hundred and seventy five times, you can watch it again.
But last night on CBS there was an Everybody Loves
Raymond reunion special. It was great, ninety minutes. If you
missed it, you can get it online, you can stream it.
The whole cast was back exce of course for the parents,

(45:01):
Frank and Marie. They died and I didn't know this.
We didn't know this, but remember Everybody Loves Raymond. That
had a daughter and two twin sons. Well, one of
the twin sons, the actor, committed suicide a few years ago.
I didn't know that, but no longer with us. But
the special was on last night, some very touching moments.

(45:22):
If you love Everybody Loves Raymond, you'll love it. You
can stream it, go take a look at it. Thirtieth anniversary,
boy in thirty years, so it's it was like nineteen
ninety five. Everybody loves Raymond started. But yeh, as I've
told you, they were very careful not to put any
technology in it. So you never saw the TV set,

(45:43):
you never saw him on a phone, you never saw
a computer, because they knew this would get dated. You
know when you look at Seinfeld and he picks up
the desk phone and he pushes the buttons to dial
the phone where he has that Apple Macintosh computer from
nineteen ninety five, everything looks so old and out dated.

(46:05):
And if there is a cell phone, it's like a
big Gordon Gecko kind of nineties cell phone, but on
every bailer's room. And they made sure there was no technology.
That's why you can watch it over and over again.
Does not look dated. It could have been filmed a
week ago. Hey, by the way, the set, they rebuilt,
the whole set. I don't think it's the original set.
I think they had to rebuild it or they found

(46:26):
the original set. But it's going to Long Island. Show
took place in Long Island, but it's going to the
Long Island Hall of Fame, Rise, the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, some hall of fame, and it'll be out.
I think it's Beth page. It'll be there. You'll be
able to walk through it. Just go online and google it.
You'll be able to actually walk through the set, take
a selfie on it, all that sort of stuff. Hey, Mandani,

(46:54):
I almost said to Blasio. Mandani has putting together the
transition team. They've already got four hundred people on the
transition team. Now, don't get too alarmed. They've named a
lot of these Democratic socialists to the transition team, a
lot of Deblasio x Deblasio people. Transition team doesn't mean

(47:14):
a lot. It's kind of an honorary thing. You have
a transition team. Usually you stick all your donors on there.
If you're really great and you got a lot of
skill and talent and they really want you, they'll put
you in the administration. They'll give you a real type.
But if you're just a donor and they got to
reward you and give you something, you're on the transition team.

(47:35):
So if you're Scott Bessett and you're a genius, Trump
makes you the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury.
But if you're some Wall Street guy who donated a
lot of money and they don't want you for anything,
they'll put you on the transition team. So you gave
a ton of money and that's your reward. You can
go around and tell people I was on the president's
transition team. Wow, what did you do on the transition team? Well,

(47:59):
we went to meetings, and what'd you do in the meeting? Well,
we met. They don't really do anything, They just talk.
It's it's like those Broadway producers, those investors. You know
these a lot of your friends and neighbors might tell
you I'm a producer Broadway producer. They're just investors. They
put five hundred thousand in and they let you call
yourself a producer. And they hold fake meetings for these

(48:20):
people to make it look like they're involved somehow. But
it's the same thing with the transition team. So don't
get too worried about who's on the transition team. Hey,
Ken Burns. This new documentary on the American Revolution and
how America was founded and born. Reviewers that have seen
it said they've all turned it off after ten minutes.
It was so misleading, deceitful, false, lying about America. We

(48:45):
not only killed all the Indians installed their land. It
was the Indians that developed democracy, and we simply copied it.
None of this is true, but apparently this awful ken
Burns is trying to push this in this new PBS documentary.
So don't even bother to watch it. And if you're wondering,
how come in the why would they defund PPS? Why
would the government stop funding PBS? This is why PBS

(49:09):
you were begging to get your money cut off with
this fake news nonsense. But avoid the ken Burns documentary. Hey,
Curtis will be with us in a few minutes. When
we come back, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
three to two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Now back to the Mark Simon show on wor.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Well, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Charles
in Smithtown. Charles, how you doing?

Speaker 8 (49:42):
Ah?

Speaker 15 (49:42):
Yes, I just wanted to say. When I was in
the military, you had to obey all orders. One night
it was raining and we had to do some preventive
maintenance on the tank. And the guy that was in
charge of the tank says, oh, we could do it
the next day, but the platoon sergeant wanted it done.
Then the platoon sergeant brought the E five up on

(50:04):
a court and I had to go to a court martial.
They can, they can be really screwy. We it was
a it was just a maintenance It was a recovery
tank and we were doing maintenance on it. It was
in the combat zone and so we were doing maintenance
on it one night. That could have been done the
next day during the day, but the sergeant wanted us

(50:26):
to do it that night during the ring.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Silly. What combat zone was this Vietnam? Oh you were
in Vietnam? Oh yeah, Oh my god.

Speaker 15 (50:38):
I had another I had another incident. We used to
have a police call in the morning with cigarette butts
and I had this one guy, he was one rank
above me, and he's pointing out cigarette butts and call son,
there's one there, son, there's another one. I said, you're
not my father, So you know what, I had to
go see the company commander.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I'm going to be honest with you. Out of all
the worst stories I've heard about bombing missions and air raids,
this is not the most exciting war story.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
A cigarette Well, this is what happens.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
Cleaning a tank a cigarette. But this is not the
biggest war stories.

Speaker 15 (51:09):
But it's this is what I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
No, you got a good point. They court martial people
over silly things.

Speaker 15 (51:16):
But oh yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Charles, good, good, good call. Let's go to Mitchell, Monroe Township. Mitchell.
How you doing?

Speaker 16 (51:24):
Why? Thank you? Mark?

Speaker 3 (51:25):
I'm wondering what are you inside the sofa? Are you
in the trunk of a car? Are you being kidnapped?
Why are you a muffled hello? Yes, yes, I'm all right.
I'll talk like you too. I muffle my voice.

Speaker 16 (51:38):
Yeah, I'm Mark.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Do you have are you.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Wearing like six masks? Why do you sound all muffled?

Speaker 16 (51:45):
No, I'm having trouble in my speech. I'm not a youngster.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
Oh okay.

Speaker 16 (51:50):
I'm wondering with all the talk on this dreadful attack
on the synagogue, Yes, no one has brought up the
fact that the synagogue is two building down from the
nineteenth precinct.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
It's the sixty seventh street, yeah.

Speaker 16 (52:06):
Yes, and it's also near the train station. Now these
are protest is. The so called protest did not arrive
by taxi cab. They must have come up from the
subway or down from the New seventy second Street.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Well, these are all good points.

Speaker 15 (52:23):
You know.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Who's going to be here next. I bet he'll know
all about this. Curtis Sliwell, we'll ask him about this protest,
and would you please I will. We'll ask him next. Yeah,
the nineteenth precinct. But you gotta remember, you think, well,
that's a precinct right there. What safety not necessarily, you know,
because sometimes cars get broken into writ in front of
the precinct. Can't remember it's a precinct. But the cops
aren't in there. They're all out patrolling that. That doesn't

(52:46):
mean they're all sitting in the building and looking out
the windows. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel, how you.

the question.

Speaker 10 (53:06):
Well, only part of it. And yes, indeed, if you're
in the military, then they had done that. If you're
in the military and you're given an order of any kind,
you must obey your order. If not, you watch subject
directly to the u CMJ at the court martial.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
Any order you were in the military, it is, yes, sir,
it was where were you stationed.

I was in the United States Navy during Vietnam, That
is correct.

Okay, Well, thanks for calling y's veterans in this audience.
Let's go to uh Wagner in Philadelphia. Wagner, how you doing?

Speaker 13 (53:49):
Hey, good morning, Mark. Yes, what's going on in this
country right now? With these Democrats?

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Leave it all?

Speaker 13 (53:56):
They he's gotta be uh intersected by the by the
Supreme Court because these people they they're doing illegue with
stuff and it's really danger Yeah. They to assession to
our president.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Hey, wam, where are you from.

Speaker 13 (54:15):
I'm from Dominican Republic. Oh I live in Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
If you call that living. But okay, the Dominican Republic

Speaker 13 (54:25):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. And here you have a lot
of baseball players.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Oh, yeah, that's true, that's true. Yeah, they have to
give them a franchise. They got the best baseball players
down there anyway, thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back,
Curtis will be with us next. Now this will be interesting.
Lots to talk to him about coming up next. Curtisly
in a moment on seven to ten, wo.

Speaker 7 (54:46):
R mark them on sevent ten, Oh, it's time for me.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Uh, we're looking for Curtis sliwa nothing yet. Well, we'll
see if we can find them. He'll turn up all
kinds of things. I want to ask Curtis. Andrew Cuomo
tweeting away. That's his full time job now Twitter, I guess.
But he put out a statement about something about the future,

(55:21):
but in the statement was the horrifying implication that he
might run again for something. Last thing anybody wants to
see is Cuomo come back? But he's uh, you know,
he's kind of like herpies, can never get rid of
it completely. It's always comes back at some point. So
people a little upset about all of that. Mam Donnie,

(55:42):
of course, is the mayor elect. Rudy Giuliani put out
a statement saying he's absolutely He says, I'm sick to
my stomach seeing Mamdannie in the Oval office, and of
course he says, I want to see New York City
do well. But he's sick seeing this. Oh we found Kurt.
It's all right. The guy that should have been the

(56:02):
mayor maybe will be someday in the future, is with us,
the great Curtis Lee. What Curtis? How you doing?

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Not too good? Mark?

Speaker 17 (56:10):
I was in Malba and Queen's last night talking to
the residents whose neighborhood was taken over by a car gang.
It's just a symptom of things to come in the
era of Johan Mandami.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Yeah, I don't understand the story. This car gang, the
drag racist cars. They picked this beautiful neighborhood, quiet neighborhood
in Malba. They come down there from the Bronx. They
do this, total chaos. People are being beaten up. It's awful.
Where were the police doing this?

Speaker 17 (56:37):
Well, they've been doing this for in fact two years, Mark,
and they go from community to community in Queens, especially
residential communities, because they know it'll take the police a
long time to catch up to them. So there are
only two squad cars that are assigned out at night
in the precincts in the outer boroughs.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
This needs to be dealt with. We don't have enough police.

Speaker 17 (57:00):
Imagine from twelve min night to five or from one
to five, you only have two squad cars that are
patrolling a precinct area. Now, let's say there's a nine
to one one called domestic dispute, a fight in a bar.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
That's two cars that are tied up.

Speaker 17 (57:15):
They can't go to where this gang was just tearing
up the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
But this has been done before.

Speaker 17 (57:22):
In those zone parts South, those Zone parts Massmith, Middle Village, Glendale.
And now that it's hit Malba, which is a very
upscale neighborhood in the shadow of the white Stone Bridge
on the Queen's side, everybody's taking notice of it.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
But it didn't just happen.

Speaker 17 (57:36):
It's been happening for two years, and the NYPD has
done nothing to shut down these card gangs.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Okay, that's a precinct. But isn't there like a Burrough
command or of some isn't there a special task for
isn't there anything that's been called in the middle of
the night to come out?

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 17 (57:52):
The problem is though they're so far away from one another,
and they're just so few cops. We need forty thousand
police officers, we only have thirty two thousand and five
hundred and so they spread them around during the day
when obviously most people are awake, they're up, they're working,
they're going to and from.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Their place of business or their home.

Speaker 17 (58:12):
So what they do is they cut back on policing
from about twelve mid nine to six in the morning
because they just don't have enough cops. So if we
don't hire more cops, we're going to see more of
that because of attrition. We won't be able to retain
the cops we already have, recruit the cops we need.
And the other thing that's not discussed at all mark
is qualified immunity. That's the insurance that every civil servant has,

(58:36):
from the mayor right on down to a sanitation worker
that protects them from being sued personally. The only department
where that does not exist because it was stripped away
from them by the city council in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Other police, if.

Speaker 17 (58:50):
They take any physical intervention, which is part of what
is the requirement of their job, they can be personally sued.
So that's why you see the police are not at
all aggressive. They fear a personal lawsuit. They cannot bear
the burden of that so it's gonna be impossible to
retain the cops we already have and try to recruit
a new generation of cops.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Well, hey, that part of Queen's has a great councilwoman,
a real loudmouth. I mean that in a good way,
Vicki Palladino. Why isn't she screaming for help?

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Oh? No, she has been, she has been.

Speaker 17 (59:22):
But again, you know, I was there last night talking
to the cops.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Obviously they were spread everywhere. You know what happens, Mart,
you have no.

Speaker 17 (59:30):
Cops, and then all of a sudden, the situation in
city Hall says, I don't care send the whole precinct
out there. I want cops bobbing into one another. But
I spoke to the cops and they said, Curtis, this
is an ongoing situation. Imagine from twelve midnight at night
to five in the morning, you only have two cars
to cover an entire district, especially in a residential area

(59:55):
where it takes you maybe forty five minutes to go
to one one part of the pre sink to the
other part of the precinct.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
There's just not enough cops.

Speaker 17 (01:00:04):
Jessica Tish won't acknowledge that obviously the incoming mayor won't
address that. And Eric Adams, where's he today? By the way,
Mark Samo, where is the mayor today? It's sort of
like the old Matt Lawell. Where is Matt Lauer today?
Where's the mayor today?

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Well, uh, he is getting ready for the next vacation.
This is coming up pretty soon. But now tell me
about the Parky Synagogue. That was a horrible incident. That
was Muslim terrorism.

Speaker 13 (01:00:29):
There, oh, there it is.

Speaker 17 (01:00:31):
They blocked the entry into the synagogue, a well renounced synagogue.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Nothing was done to them.

Speaker 17 (01:00:37):
So Jessica Tiss goes in and apologizes to them, swears
it will never happen again.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
You know it's going to happen again.

Speaker 17 (01:00:44):
Zorhanmandami said nothing to condemn it, said, oh no, no,
it was a violation of international law.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
What Jews meeting to plan.

Speaker 17 (01:00:53):
On doing alia, which is part of their Talmud Torah.
Jews are encouraged if at some point in their lives
to return to Israel, if not to have dual residency,
maybe they live there permanently. That's not a violation of
international boy. That happens with other countries also, So again
we see Zorhan Mandami. He's not even been sworn in,

(01:01:15):
not at all condemning the demonstrators who were violent, who
were blocking people's ability to enter that synagogue, and the
police did not do their job. And all I heard
was Randy Mastro complaining, the real mayor of the city
of New York and the mayor complaining. Where was he again,
Eric Adams when he was complaining and tweeting.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
About this Uhistan?

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Yeah, yeah, Spekistan.

Speaker 14 (01:01:38):
What was he doing there?

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Mark?

Speaker 17 (01:01:40):
Nothing good happens to it Uspektistan. What was he coming
out with more bags of money to bring back?

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Well, what did you call it? Whining, dining, pocket lining,
that kind of.

Speaker 17 (01:01:50):
Stuff exactly in Tashkent. How many people I know from
Uzbekistan who are here from tash Kent, they cut hair,
A lot of them have become hairstylists, and they'll tell
me the only reason the mayor is over there is
to get weindein in pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
Line, because that's a corrupt administration there.

Speaker 17 (01:02:06):
Well, why would a mayor need to be in Uzbekistan
or Albania? Remember when he began this trip around the
world at taxpayer's expense on my dad?

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Yeah, Hey, Curtis Leewell. Let me ask you something. Andrew
Cuomo put out this tweet. He's talking about the future
of the Democratic This he implied in there. He made
it sound like he's gonna run again. Is that possible
that we have to deal with this guy again?

Speaker 17 (01:02:29):
Of course, Mark, Remember he's like Napoleon who's retreated to
his island of Elba. Probably the Hampton's plot is comeback.
I don't think he gets it. People are tired of him,
They don't want him. He had two opportunities to beat
Zohan Mandami.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
He got beaten.

Speaker 17 (01:02:46):
Effectively, his own Democrats have turned against them. But hey,
you know what else is Andrew Cmo gonna do all day?
Mark Simon, you know Andrew Cmo. I know Andrew Cmo
all he does. He's like a political zombi be. He
plots his revenge, his vendettas, and his return.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
And I think we're.

Speaker 17 (01:03:06):
Going to have to live with Andrew CRMO until the
day we die, always teasing us, talking about what position
he wants to run for. I would suggest to him
that he just leave New York State, you go down
to Florida like he threatened to do. I Jorhan Mandami.
He was elected mayor. Remember he was.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Out there in the Hamptons.

Speaker 17 (01:03:25):
He said, hey, look, if Zoran's elected, I'm leaving in Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Try your luck in Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
All right, But he in this race, he had every
powerful person in America pushing him, telling everybody to vote
for him, trying to chase you out of the race.
He was up against a lunatic Democrat, everybody including the President,
telling everybody vote for him. If you can't win, then
what makes you think you could ever win.

Speaker 17 (01:03:50):
Well, remember, if you're if you're a child of entitlement,
if you felt that your position in this world was
to be the sheep herder and the rest of us
as sheep, and we don't understand. He'll continue, he'll continue
to keep attempting to push his name upon us. I
would suggest to him that he go and he write

(01:04:11):
his memoirs. Nobody bought his other two books, even though
he got paid five million dollars for that book during
the pandemic that was written by his staff. I write
a memoir, you know, maybe twenty five copies will be sold.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
You know, he can invite some of his friends. Yeah,
but it's over. It's over. Fans who came on.

Speaker 17 (01:04:28):
And by the way, if he wants to fight for
the Democratic Party, he's the one who rolled over and
sacrificed it with no cash. Baire raised the age closed
Rikers Island. He's set it up for Zorhan Mondami and
the Democratic Socialists of America.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Yeah. Well, uh, and all those billionaires trying to give
you money to get where are they with him? Why
aren't they giving him something to do, some job or something.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Oh, you know, they will some no show job.

Speaker 17 (01:04:53):
You know, he'll be in charge of some kind of
think tank he'll need to be in. Maybe he could
run for the mayor of Southampton. You know, he spends
more time in the Hamptons than he does in the
city of New York.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
That's you know, that's the position he might be able
to win. Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Yeah, no, that's a good job. Who's that young guy,
Jesse whatever his name was, the mayor of Southampton?

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Yeah no, no, you can make headlines from there.

Speaker 17 (01:05:15):
You know, a lot of influential people obviously have homes
out there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
That's what I would suggest he do.

Speaker 17 (01:05:21):
That he needs to go home to the Hamptons and
be with his brother Fredo, Chris and this way they
can talk about how how they're victims.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Oh poor, the poor Quall boys. We're victims again, oh Fox.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
All right, well, Curtis Lee, we're great having you on
working that people can follow you on Twitter and Instagram
and all that keep track of you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
There, uh at Curtis Lee, you can check out. I
was in Malba last night and getting down.

Speaker 17 (01:05:48):
To the nitty gritty of how to stop these card
gangs from taking over a neighborhood near you, because they
will be coming to a neighborhood near you, was Johann
Mandami in town.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Well, everybody check out Curtis on Instagram and Twitter and
I'll follow him there, Curtius ly, Well, thanks for being.
