Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Guardian Angel of talk radio is here. Curtis
leewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on sevent ten WOAR.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
As I continue on here in my substitution role for
my new found friend and station seven to ten WOAR,
which I hope will be all of yours, substituting for
the best guy in talk radio in the trich State area,
bar Non Mark Simone. I mean, he's a smooth operator.

(00:38):
And I'll be with you until January second, the day
after the ball drops, you know, I'm in Times Square
with the Guardian Angels. And then the next day we'll
see about the inauguration of Jorhanmandami with Bernie the out
the Coca Sanders standing there in city Hall. Look a
lot to deal with coming up to deal with you

(01:00):
here and now, because is he who's on the boards
formerly a refugee from WABC, used to be always broadcasting
Curtis No more, it's always booked bashing Curtis so good,
good that you hear? Is he much better place? And
as you know from my many years of broadcasting, whenever

(01:21):
the temperatures would get below freezing, I would have a
phrase that was taught to me by my father Chester,
who grew up in the Chicago area right off of
Lake Michigan, when there were real winters with real snow
storms twenty foot more before we had global warming and

(01:44):
climate change. I know a lot of you it's a
fake fake. It's not fake global warming and climate change.
Let me tell you something. It is not fake. But
no hawk is talking. Now, you're not city. I've heard
that phrase over the years. What does that mean? The
hawk is talking? Actually came out of Chicago South Side,

(02:06):
where my dad was from, and his family on the
polar side of my family forty six in Rockwell. I
actually spent four years going up there from ages one
to five and then came back to Brooklyn. But the
hawk was talking, I think was first said by Louis Armstrong.

(02:27):
That's right, play that horn. Louis from North Corona in Queens,
right opposite where Tony Bennet grew up. The crooner from Estoria,
the estorya kid. Yeah, oh they got him. You see
him near the house of Louis Armstrong. But Louis Armstrong
would come into the South Side black jazz clubs frequented

(02:49):
by whites and blacks, interracial crowd and because it felt
like it was forty degrees below zero wind chill fact
up because the winds were coming off of Lake Michigan.
He would say, the hawk is talking because his lips
which is so frozen. Like the other performers, they tell

(03:09):
you basically, it's gonna take like five or ten minutes
from my lips to unfreeze, so I could be able
to play that horn now, which probably didn't know, or
maybe some of you knew that Louis Armstrong probably consumed
and inhaled and exhaled more reef for more marijuana than

(03:30):
anybody else during the jazz era. That's what he was knowing.
In fact, he would actually shotgun you through the horn,
which meant basically he would inhale it and then exhale
it through the horn and right into your schnazola. Long
before the nineteen sixties, peace, Love and happiness, Haye Ashbury
Woodstock half a million strong up the New York State

(03:54):
through it. Yeah, a long time before the era that
we called the counterculture. I grew up in the ear
of the hippies, era of the Hippies. Well, anyway, the
hawk is talking, and it reminded me at the times
we would go visit the Polish side of the family.
Christmas Easter. My dad had put everybody in the fifty

(04:18):
four Ford station wagon Old Betsy, you know, whitewall tires,
wood panels, and we'd be going through all different areas.
I mean, we ended up going across Phillipsburg from Jersey,
across the bridge through Easton, which was the home of
Larry Holmes world champion heavyweight. Obviously not back in the

(04:41):
early sixties when we were riding through there. And then
I remember Allentown and Bethlehem had the US Steel plant
going now it's a casino, and we go through Pittsburgh
three ships round the clock on an orange plume would
hang over the city because of all the steel mills.
And then eventually through Gary, Indiana, the South Chicago, the

(05:01):
steel mills there, going three shifts right into Chicago itself.
That's when Steele was king in the United States. Now
you have US Steel partly owned by the Japanese partnerly
owned by the United States the Trump administration to keep
all that steel being made here, right, boy, that's a throwback.

(05:21):
And I remember we'd go out to the sleep With compound.
By then they were out in Lockport, which was between
Joliet had that walled prison there in Chicago, and they
had the subdivisions, and my job was to go out
and slap the hogs. Oh yeah, slap the hogs after
the feed for the family. And I learned there were

(05:45):
the two of the smartest animals ever, the hogs, the
pigs and the crows who were out there in the cornfields,
you know, with these scarecrows trying to scam away. My dad,
in fact, when he was young, had Jimmy the crow
that was his pet. It would fly with him to
and from school to Sherman Park in his public school,

(06:05):
and he would wait there on the windowsill until my
dad was ready to walk home again to the south side.
Forty six and Rockwell, that's a little bit of that
side issue. But let's talk about this storm warning and
the fact that many of you are you know, well,
you gotta sort of go back in time to remember

(06:26):
when heavy snowfalls were common and now it's an exception
to the rule. And I've always said, why is it
different now? I say global warming, climate change. Look what's
happening in southern California there, It's like a tsunami has
hit the area. But oh no, no, it's of course
not you know, Okay, you could have your opinion. I

(06:49):
have my opinion. But I remember it'd be like fourteen
sixteen foot of snow had to go out, put the
chains on the tires, know, the buses, the klang klang huge,
I mean, the sanitation bulldozers would push the snow all

(07:10):
to an area, you know, almost like a mount rushmore
there on the corners. You don't have that anymore. And
it's interesting as we were hearing these forecasts, because Nancy
was driving me all through the tri state area visiting
her relatives. Uh and uh. Also, oh, some interesting information

(07:31):
I picked up at a copper crow remember as the
crow flies. That's on Broadway and Olmony Capitol Land. What
is that is the crow flies? It's the most direct
straight line distance between two places. Yep, a great place, Coppler.
And man, did I learn a lot about how Republicans
are throwing the party under the bus that will not

(07:56):
have those chains, those old iron chains at all. No, no,
no no, but thrown under the bus with as you know,
Alice Stephonic leaving the race. Oh that's gonna be operation
hush hush much much. You're not gonna want to miss
it because I'm connecting all the dots as I worked
my way through troy Almanies, connected the Hamilton Hill, all

(08:22):
these places again with the predictions where snow. You know
snow is coming. What I said as the crow flies,
a lot of crows up there, smart animals, smart birds
and anyway, I said to myself, Wow. And then people
coming up to me, no matter where I was, because

(08:43):
obviously I'm wearing the red butray, the red Satine jacket,
and they're giving me all kinds of information about what
I should be doing with my life. Yeah, is he
I'm up there in Capitol len oh Man, you should
be on WG wire. I heard you on WO off
and watch someone. I said, why would I want to
be on WGY A ten big station up there in Albany.
But I'm not coming up here at Albany. I spent

(09:05):
time in the South End in Aubury, Hilm. I'm not
coming up to Albany. And then on my way down
at one of those rest stops in the New York
State through a way you know, before we hit Marwall.
You know, we went from Rockland and then into New
Jersey and nown threw Fortney over the GW bridge and
I looked up and there was Eric Adams, a swaggerman

(09:26):
with no plans, apartment that he's lived in for years,
you know, with his what is no his boo, his beard,
Tracy and then the other girl friend, the weightlifter underneath
apartment twenty two eighth. I'm not gonna give you the address,
and I said to myself, man, I've come full circle.
And then as we finally get into the apartment, it's

(09:47):
in the wee hours in the morning. And what does
my wife do? Nancy the best thing that ever happened
to me. She starts binge watching The Office, you know,
the show from Scratton, New Jersey with Steve Carell as
Michael and Dwight and Jim. And she's got on the
episode which is I guess you'd call it the snowball

(10:09):
episode Classy Christmas, in which the whole concept is it's
not a real snowfall if it's just a dusting of snow.
Oh man, if you haven't seen this, you gotta you
gotta watch that episode. Well, one of my favorite TV shows. Again,
Nancy loves to binge watch, you know, as we come

(10:31):
into New Year's I'll be very busy, as I always am,
but uh never busy enough to miss Rod shirling in
the Twilight Zone and the non stop showing of some
of the greatest TV programs of all time. Speaking of
upstate New York state, if he was from Beington, New York,
Day finally put up a statue to his honor in
the park. Dep Boy, I'm moving in a lot of

(10:54):
different directions here, because a true snow snowfall is determined
by whether you can make snowballs, whether it's packing snow,
because if it's too light, you can't make a snowfall.
Even if there's some accumulation, it's all about packing snow.
And already you heard the news reports are there. They're

(11:16):
moving out there with all the rock salt. They're spreading
it in advance. Why why you know is he where
the rock salt comes from? Do you have any idea
underneath Detroit? When I was in Detroit, they have canyons
under ground in which they are mining salt rock salt

(11:37):
now for de icing, But back then when I first
saw it, leather, food, processing, all things underneath Detroit, thousand
feet down, I don't know if people will where are
that That's where the salt comes from. And I'm saying,
why are you gonna throw salt on the ground. First
of all, it's gonna eat up the as fork. Then
you're gonna have potholes of the size of lunar craters.

(12:01):
And then while you're driving along they already hate drivers
in so many places, especially New York City. Now you're undercarriage,
is gonna be thrown out all of a sudden, Your
bull bearings will need adjustment, your trott will end up
sort of becoming bent into shape. You have to end
up in a fender bended shop. And a lot of

(12:22):
that has to do with it's sparing rock salt to ride.
Why not do what they do it up in Wisconsin
where they're used to actual snow or for lake mission
in Milwaukee. Is they spread a combination of beats, yeah, beats,
a brine or a cheese brine so that it doesn't

(12:45):
end up destroying the asphalt and creating those potholes which
become lunar craters. And by the way, then the deer
come out. That's the other problem in Wisconsin. The deer
come out and they want to lick up the beats
and the cheese offs, the asphalt, and boy, we saw
a lot of deer on all way down coming from

(13:07):
Capital Land last night. And I know for some of
you you look at deer as if it's agent Orange
in hooves, because they eat up everything like a pac
Man packed woman. Don't say that to my wife, Nancy,
Oh my god, you'd be going to war with her. Hey. Look,
that's just a little thumbnail sketch where I was and

(13:31):
what we were doing as a family. And also the
information that I learned on this lie hush hush, much
mush about how key Republicans are working in tandem to
destroy the Republican Party as we know it in New
York State, New York City and actually turn it into

(13:54):
a wing of the old moderate Democratic Party. Well, you
don't want to go anywhere, alright? Are you gonna go anywhere?
All this information that I'm bringing to you, Like Paul Revere,
I'm warning you in advance, doing all the groundwork, and
now it's on your place to be. Seven ten War

(14:15):
our favorite radio station in the SLIWA household. And yeah,
our cats love listening to it too, The Voice of
New York. The numbers eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. That's eight hundred three to two one zero
seven ten. The Pulse of New York.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Now on the Voice of New York, Curtis Sleewall guest
host from marximon on seven ten war.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Let's talk about it being the pulse of the tri
state area. That's where I was in the last forty
eight hours, since I was talking to all of U
s ubstooting for Mark and Gary was with the orange cone. Hell,
you know, if you driving around, they got the orange cones,
and they got the orange barrels there with the reflector

(15:08):
tape so you could see it at night. And you
say to yourself, that's symptomatic of the problems that we
have with our infrastructure wherever you see those through out Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, upstate New York, wherever we went here in
New York City. And Nancy had the responsibility to drive,

(15:28):
believe it or not. I don't have a driver's license.
I've driven before when I was a teenager. You know,
it took to test, obviously, no problem. The written part
problem was parallel parking. I had long hair at the time.
My cousin Lenny Beams me on Chino said, hey, just
put a twenty. Just put a twenty there right right,

(15:50):
so that the instructor could see it. You'll pass. I
wasn't going to bribe the instructor. And he did not
like long hair. He attributed it or you must be
a hip, must be part of the anti war movement.
And every time it would get to the parallel parking stage,
I would flub it. No license, but I drove for years,
but I don't drive now. So my wife asked to

(16:12):
do all the driving, and all she asked for all
she needs, Like for so many of you listening wherever
you are, even throughout the world as you're listening, is
seven to ten WR because I know you are. You're
contacting me. Oh, listening to it in Shanghai. That was interesting.

(16:34):
But anyway, my wife, she just needs a good cup cool.
So yesterday, as you know, a lot of places that
closed for Christmas, the only time of the year they closed,
And we're at a Starbucks and all places Troy, New York.
It's open and not far from Russell Stage College, great,

(16:55):
great college. Yeah, and were you in there like an hour?
Just get a cup colfee and like, I'm not gonna
complain my wife, Nancy. She's doing all the driving, but
it's like an hour for a cup coolfee. We could
have gone to one of the gas stations and she goes,
I ain't drinking gas station coffee, No way. And we

(17:19):
waited an hour and Nancy got her coffee in Oh,
it was like a mood elevator without that coffee. Lookout,
you're like like Sybil, multiple personalities, I mean, quite ease,
and I'm sure there are a lot of people out
there the same way. But she got that cup of octane,

(17:39):
that coffee, and she was good to go, and we
continued on our way. But there's fear, fright and hysteria
over the coming snow. And I'm saying it's as we
talk about now the segue into Zora and Mandami being
sworn in as mayor. And I know a lot of
you are moaning and groaning, and you you can't get

(18:00):
over the election. He won the election. Get used to it.
If he does good, the city does good, we all
do good, the state does good, America does good. But
for some of you, you want the guy to crash
and burn. I mean every step of the way. Look
that's your thing, but I'll tell you this, one of
those litmus tests used to be not just in Chicago,

(18:24):
where my dad would take us during the holidays to
visit that side of the family, and I remember there
was a Mayor Blandict there. He didn't get the snow up,
and guess what, he lost the election in a primary
to Mayor Jane Burn simply because he couldn't get the
snow up. Had that happened in New York City? John
Lindsay Forest Hills, Oh, the mounds of snow, and he

(18:48):
lost the Republican line to run for reelection in sixty
nine and one on the Liberal line instead because of
the miracle mets of sixty nine winning and him claiming
he was a lifelong med fan, of which he couldn't
be like life long at that time. I only came
around since the early sixties. But typical political form, he
lied and he rode that to victory. But the point

(19:09):
being is with the snows. I remember Rudy Giuliani getting elected,
and I had campaigned with him when he lost first
against David Dinkins I eighty nine and then when he
won ninety three, and that first two years he had
more snow than I ever saw before. In fact, it
was that one which I think it was like h

(19:32):
January twentieth, if I'm gonna remembering nineteen ninety six, so
like maybe the second year of his mayoralty at thirty
inches in Staten Island, they were twenty inches here in
the city. They were using like salt everywhere. It was
like eleven storms that clobbered us in that year alone.
I remember it, and you say to yourself, we don't

(19:53):
have that now, And so you ask yourself, well, why
don't we have that. We're not talking about back into
the sixties or the seventies as I began this program,
right back to nineteen ninety six and a series of snowstorms,
and now we don't have them anymore. And unfortunately Eric

(20:16):
Adams is still the mayor. Is he in any country today?
Is he in Switzerland? Is he in the Caribbean? Western?
Who knows that taxpayers expense? And who cares? But the
city claims they're ready, they got all the rock salt ready,
They're already putting a little salt out into the asphalt.
And I'm saying to myself, man, that's gonna eat up

(20:38):
you go along that FDR driver is already a mess.
Right you go south from forty second Street the FTERR Drive,
you're going down past Houston Street a mess. It's like
lunar crater. Hell, nobody fixes it, and this will make
it that much worse. But oh my god, people are
ready to hunker down. How will we survive?

Speaker 3 (20:59):
What?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Four inches six inches maybe eight inches? Imagine when it
was regular twenty inches thirty inches. Oh, so much to
reminisce about, but so much to talk about, because it's
really your turn to be heard. That that's really what
talk radio is about. And I'm gonna give you all

(21:20):
an opportunity on my newfound station on what I hope
will be yours. Listen to station seven ten wor to participate.
So is you gotta be ready? You're multitasking here this morning.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. That's eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten. And by the way,

(21:43):
if you're stun god, you know, if you drank too
much of the eggnog they was spiked, Hey, don't bother
call it because I can talk my way to the
break of dawn. As you know, I said, boy, what
a great Christmas present to be able to do it
here on seventy ten, wor to all of you in

(22:06):
the Tri State area. Beyond number it's one eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten. And up next, a
bunch of brothers who were handling those orange cones last
night told me I should be doing something else. Yeah,
everybody's an expert out there. Everybody tells me I voted

(22:27):
for you. How'd you vote for me in Hamilton Hill
in Schenectady. Oh, well, I would have voted for you
if I was in the city. You cocka down, you Pinocchio.
You're lying. I know you want to make me feel better.
But some of the brothers is he were telling me
what I should be doing with my life now. Everybody

(22:48):
is a program director, everybody is a soothsayer. Everybody wants
to tell me what I should be doing here. Uh,
when in fact, you couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong.
What eight hundred three to one zero seventen.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
The Voice that fights for New York literally Curtis Sleewalk
guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Woor oh, you don't want to miss it. As I
was up in the Capitol Land area for the Christmas
holiday to be with Nancy and her family members. Also
is doing some side work getting information about how the
Republican leadership has thrown the party under the bus, this

(23:39):
time against Congresswoman at least stophonic for Kathy the Grifter Hockel,
who was in New York City meeting with key Republicans
lining them up because it's all about following the money.
It's all about follow the money. Oh, I learned a
lot at the Copper Crow right there on Broadway in Almany.

(24:01):
Remember as the crow flies cool and by the way,
the hawk is talking out there, So we'll talk about
this hysteria and fear and is sweeping the area because
oh my god, there might be six to eight ten
inches maybe more of snow. And I'm saying to myself, boy,
he used to be that all the time as we

(24:24):
would approach the new year. But let's go to the
phones right now, and it's Rob Who's calling from Montclair,
New Jersey. Your turn to be heard? He on seven
to ten WR Rob.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Hey, Curtis. During that campaign, I heard you maligned a lot,
and I told my friends, you know, I know one
thing about this guy, and it tells me everything about him.
I teach you the school when Montclair Montclair State University,
and many many years ago, you came with. I guess
it was a WABC basketball team to play the local people.

(25:00):
You probably don't even remember. Well, you got there really
early and I was going to teach a class and
I recognized you, and I said, Curtis, could you speak
to my class. You came, you spoke to him, You
answered questions. You were as sweet as kind as a
person could be. And that tells me everything I need
to know about you.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Wow. And you remember, and I remember, we got beat
badly the leader of the team at that point basketball team,
because I was known for my sharp elbows. You got
into the paint. I was going to put a herding
on your kidneys and your ribs. Don't come into the paint.
You better be shooting from three point range. Was Mitch Dolan,

(25:43):
who was the general manager and Grandpoopa of all the
stations at that time over at WABC, and that guy
was a sharp shooter from the outside. He used to
call him, Hey, you know, he's like the six man
off the bench. He come in boom in a knock.
A fewback oh, I remember those memories. That was good, Rob,

(26:05):
that was good. Let's go if we can to Ellen,
who's calling also from New Jersey. Your turn to be
heard here at seven to ten wor Ellen.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Hi, Curtis. I am so thrilled to speak with you,
and so thrilled that you're back on the air. I've
listened to you for so many years with Angels in
the Morning and Curtis and Coolbe and then of course
I got very little sleep because I was listening to
on the weekends overnight on that other station, in additional
listening to your friend Frank overnight also. But I wanted

(26:39):
to ask you something about your father. It's been bothering
me for years. Do you happen to know if your
father was a member of the National Maritime Union.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
YEP, for close to fifty years he was a delegate.
He would actually go to battle with the trustees and
the lead of the National Maritime Union who was corrupt?
Joe Kern, I know.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
And the reason I'm asking is because for years my
father had had a wholesale optical business and then he
lost it and he wound up working for the National
Maritime Union in that building where all the seamen would
come for their medical needs. And I worked there in
the summers, so chances are I sore your father I

(27:25):
met your father?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Oh yeah. And plus back then, you'd have to shape
up for work. So I'd go with my dad and
he'd have to shape up. He was a boson at
that time, which is like an equivalent of his sergeant.
You know, he's part of the union, National Maritime Union,
but really a part of management. Also you can't win
for it, and he'd have to shape up like everyone
else to catch a ship that was going out right

(27:49):
near Fourteenth Street where you had the National Maritime Union headquarters.
And it's that building that makes it look like it's
the side of a passenger ship with all those windows.
No longer obviously National Maritime Union. But boy, tremendous stories
that my dad would tell me when he would come home.
He'd be shipped out eight months a year, at home

(28:11):
four months a year, and to make ancillary income, he'd
go out there because he was a master craftsman, and
he worked for my cousin Joey g to teach from
Howard beat you at a construction firm in order so
that me my older sister a leader, my younger sister
Maria to get all the things that we wanted or

(28:33):
didn't want, like my mother forcing me to play the
piano for four years. I hated that every second of
the day that I played. And then when it was
time for my recital at a nearby synagogue in Canarsi,
I was playing rockmanin Off on the stage. My younger
sister Maria had played, made every mistake in the world,
got a standing ovation, didn't bother her. My oldest sister

(28:56):
are very accomplished pianist, and I played rockmano Off. Half
way through is He I forgot where I was. I
walked away from the piano and never came back to
play the piano again. I hated that my friends should
be outside. Hey, come on, Curtis, gotta practice my piano. Really,

(29:18):
are you a mama Luke? Look as my mom and
dad said, as long as we pay the bills here
and you're living under our roof in our house, you'll
follow our rules. Or hey, you're welcome to hit the
highway out there. See how difficult life is. Oh what
what great role models they were. They're no longer with

(29:40):
us anyway. Let's go to Glenn who was calling from
New Jersey. Your turn to be heard here on seven
ten wo R Gun.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
Goodbody. Curtis over at the other station there, Greg Kelly
has been disparaging you incredible For the first hour of
his show. He spoke nothing about anything but Curtis and Curtis, Curtis, that,
and so forth. He's a loser. And I had to

(30:12):
call in and tell and tell Greg that he and
w R O you a debt of gratitude for giving
one hour of free publicity because I mentioned to him
two quotes. T. T. Barham said, famously, any publicity is

(30:34):
good publicity, and Oscar Wilde said, the only thing in
the world worse than being talked about is not being
talked about.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
I gotta tell you, Glenn, so you know Greg Kelly
never comes prepared for a show. That's why you would
listen to Mark Simon. That would be his show prep.
You would actually admit that I'm listening to Mark and
then taking notes. He has no Mark to listen to.
He hates listening to me and gives him something to
talk about because he'd always run out of steam. That's

(31:04):
why they had me in the bullpen. You better jump
in there with Greg. He's growing, he's running out of
things to talk about because he didn't do his show prep.
You just don't come on the air and think think
you're gonna be able to do talk radio. Oh no, oh, Bob,
by the way, a suggest for me by a work
coup at the MDA coming up, You're never gonna Oh, yes,

(31:26):
you might actually conceive it. This you don't want to
go anywhere, And I'll tell you the true nitty gritty
secret of what's going on behind the scenes as the
Republican leadership in New York State now, as they did
in New York City, are selling out to moderate Democrats,
and they did it against elist Dephonic Now More with.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis Leewah guest hosting from
Mark Simone on seven ten.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Woo No. I came out of the subway this morning.
I always do with the MTA money taking agency. Some
workers they're the brothers, and they were telling me everybody
is giving me advice. Yo, man, you should be on
Hot ninety seven. More gangs, more drugs, more dry bites.
No no, no, no no. Apparently they had a show

(32:15):
that got wiped out. Hebro in the morning. I only
knew the one guy there, Peter Rosenberg. But hey, that's
tough times. I get that, but I ain't. I'm not
doing hip hop Rightio and Jo while we heard you
on charlamagnea God the Breakfast Glove. Yeah, during the campaign,
and I could kick it with people about hip hop

(32:36):
in the streets, no doubt about it. By the way,
I see, iHeart products Charlemagne that got signed up rebooted
for like Aaron Judge money. Hey, he deserves me. He
told the great story how his wife took him to
his first internship. He didn't have a car, he didn't
have a nickel diamond penny to his name at a

(32:56):
radio station and had to drive him to him from
the job. Well, the rest is history. And then the
brothers were saying, you saw Nicki MINAJATOI yeah, man, she
was attacking the Muslims for killing Christians in Nigeria. And
the President heard it and he responded, I say, you
don't really think that. Trump responded to Nicki Minajati, Well,

(33:21):
we come back right here on your new place to
be seven ten war.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis Leewall
guest host The Mark Simone Show on sevent tenor.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
After spending so much time in the Tri State area
during the Christmas holidays, visiting Nancy's part of the family.
By the way, she's busy working the phones this morning
now that we're back, making sure that folks are caring
for their ferral cats, those who live doors, making sure

(34:01):
you have those houses out there to protect him from
the inclement weather. That's what my wife, Nancy does, with
so many other mostly women, but some men, who rescue
animals in distress. So she's busy, busy, busy. So was
Nicki Minajatois. I got to discuss it because in the

(34:24):
aftermath of that Turning Point gathering they had yearly in Phoenix,
and Charlie Kirk was alive, now hosted by his wife
after he got assassinated, and some interesting characters who showed up,
two of whom I know, we'll talk about it later,
Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson, but most of them I

(34:45):
really don't know. I couldn't understand why Russell Brand would
be there, by the way, charged with two more rapes
since he appeared there in England. We'll discuss that later on,
but out on the stage hand in hand with Erika
Kirk was Nicki Minajhaty and I'm here all the conspirators

(35:11):
conspiratory talk out there, said oh oh, Nicki Minajatoy. You
know she was talking about Christians under attack in Nigeria
by Muslim extremists, pokoharam isis all of that true? And
by her making this like a key point using her
public platform, it certainly may have been like the accelerant

(35:35):
to President Donald Trump to actually go in there and
take them out, which apparently he did over the Christmas
holiday with the cooperation of the Leader of Nigeria. And
many people were saying, yeah, yeah, yeah. When Nicki Minajatoy
was on that stage with Erika Kirk and was praising

(35:58):
the president, is yeah yeah, even though we're the cool kids, Erica,
the real role models for young men, Donald Trump, And
then she called JD. Vance the assassin. I ain't quite
get that. Maybe somebody out there knows. It was very
confusing to me. But then again, Nicki Minajetois, the rapes,

(36:24):
the hip hop queen, has always confused me. And no,
I don't think that her talk of this issue was
the catalyst to have the President of the United States
launch a Christmas Night airstrike on compounds of Isis and Bocahram,
who have kidnapped school children before, mostly girls, have killed

(36:50):
many Christians worshiping as that sectarian violence continues in the
most well the wealthiest country in all of Africa, just
because of the oil reserves in Nigeria and also one
of the most corrupt, there's no doubt about it. We'll
get into all of that. But what I remember a
Nicki Minajah toy is that she went to Fiorello H.

(37:13):
LaGuardia High School. Oh yeah, School of Performing Arts and
Izzy if I remember correctly. Maybe you'll have to nourish
my memory. You know. Her hip hop classics were say
so win again. What that would appear appeal to Donald Trump? Right,

(37:33):
we're winning, We're winning. And Super Freaky Girl, which was
really a takeoff. If you remember up there in Orchard Park,
in the land of Kathy the Grifter HOCl that's where
the Buffalo Bills used to have their old stadium when O. J.
Simpson was the star, and now they have the News Stadium,

(37:58):
which is in Orchard Park not far from Rick James. Oh.
He had his campaign upound there and the Mary Jane girls, remember,
and who came up there and gave up a year
of his life to get a number one hit song.
Party all the time, Eddie Murphy, Yeah, as they were
doing lines. There's no doubt about it. But Rick James,
he came up remember super freak. See, that's why people

(38:21):
think that I could do hip hop radio. Ain't happening.
I may know a lot about it, but it ain't.
Ain't no way, but it can certainly hit on this
because there are some people who were trying to connect
the dots and saying Nicki Minajatoi, he has this epiphany.
She announces how horrible it is. It is the Muslim

(38:45):
extremists from Boko Haram, and isis kidnapping and killing Christians
and burning down churches at his shoe, and that something
has to be done about it. And then all of
a sudden, somehow there was the the the trifecta, so
to speak. So it went from Nicki Minajatoi to Erika

(39:07):
Kirk who went out on the stage with her, and
then all of a sudden, President Donald Trump, who had
commented on that, decided to light those terrorist camps up
on Christmas night, which apparently he did. And you say

(39:27):
to yourself, could there be a connection there. I don't
think so. But in this day and age of the influencers,
I don't know what they influence. They influenced Maghan Hud
nothing Bupkis. But you know these self appointed influencers are
already making this correlation. But remember, this is an opportunity

(39:49):
for all of you to get involved with what For
some of you, I'm sure it's your newfound station for
talk seven to ten wor By being hurt because that's
always been a part of my thirty five years in
talk radio. I love taking calls. I treat the callers
like it's a mosh pit, whether you're a friend of
full When I died, right in our numbers eight hundred

(40:11):
three two one zero seven ten, that's eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten. So they're having this
massive gathering as had every year for a turning point.
Charlie Kirk would host it when he was alive. After
being assassinated, his wife Erica, has taken on the duties.
I never really paid attention to it, obviously, like the

(40:34):
rest of you, we're hearing more about it this time.
And what I couldn't understand. It's like, how is it
they had Russell Brand up there. Now, for those of
you whom may not know Russell Brand, he was married to.
I just kissed the girl, Katy Perry for a while.

(40:54):
Obviously it didn't work out. He went his way, she
went hers. So he's up on the stage and I'm
watching him at turning point and he's talking about how yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm no longer with Katie. I really love her. Okay,
those are all the right things. And you know I
didn't object when she was with Orlando Bloom. I didn't

(41:15):
even know you get to weigh in any longer, but
he did. But now that she's with Justin Trudeau Junior,
that globalist stooge, and the crowd went't crazy. And what
I'm saying, what the hell is this guy doing on
the stage. He was already accused in England of like
five rapes and sexual assault, and since his appearance there,

(41:37):
two more counts have been added on. He claims he's
a sex addict, but he never raped anybody. Yeah sure, right, okay,
you'll have your day in court over there. I've been
in the old Bailey, the old old Barey after I
got stabbed in Wandsworth in the South end of London
while organizing the Guardian Angels and a Council of State.

(42:00):
Part of that is when they stitched me up, I figured,
how the hell am I gonna pay this bill? I
don't have up Back then it was the pound, those
sterling hey, the sterling pound. I don't have any money.
They said, mate, you're lucky. As I went to the
casualty ward to get stitched up. This is national healthcare service.
You don't have to pass it. But I'm an American. Yeah,

(42:21):
we could tell that you don't have to pay. Let's see,
I'm off on a bit of attention. But Russell Bran
clearly a brit He's made his mark as comedian. I've
seen him on YouTube, he's been on radio over there,
you know, the BBC one, two, three, four, whatever. But
I don't know how the hell he made the cut.

(42:43):
Is this the kind of role model you want? You're
talking about all the right kind of role models. I
just said, I can't figure that one out. Maybe somebody
out there can help connect the dots for me. At
one eight hundred three to one zero seven ten, So
you got NICKI minajatoag Uh, you got Russell Brand and

(43:07):
a whole bunch of others, But the only really two
that I knew who were featured there was Ben Shapiro
basically torched all of his adversaries on the conservative right.
I mean, he laid down verbal napalm to the Canvas
Owens of the world, the Tucker Colson's of the world,

(43:28):
the Megan Kelly's of the world, and of course Nazi
boy Nicki Flantez. He just he laid out rhetorical napalm.
And then of course it was Tucker Carlson. He spoke
in reaction to what Ben Shapiro had said about him
earlier in that day in Phoenix, and uh, I'm gonna

(43:53):
share with you my personal experiences with both, because again
I never knew Nicki minajatois, though supposedly the Influenzias has
said her talk about the attacks against Christian Christians in
Nigeria by Muslim extremists is what propelled the president actually

(44:15):
fire up those Tomahawk missiles offshore and battleships that he's
going to want a name after himself when they come
out of the dry dock. Oh that's coming up. Milton Bradley.
Remember Remember that was the game you wanted for Christmas,
Milton Bradley Battleship. There didn't have Tomahawk missiles at that time. Wow.

(44:40):
And I think there's somehow a connection there, somehow. Nicki
Minaj talked about it and the President did something about it. Well, look,
you fired them up. The ISIS terrorists in Syria in
their camps because they had killed the Americans National guardsmen
from believe it was Arkansas to the point Arkansas, Oklahoma. And

(45:08):
I get that. I know our troops are poised right
outside of Venezuela to be flying in there and bombing
areas that were claiming is where drug manufacturing is taking
place by Maduro. I wonder about that. I don't trust government.
I never had, whether it's Democrats or Republicans, because we

(45:31):
have been told so much about wars. We have gotten
involved in LBJ, the Gulf of Tonkin resolution so good
that the Pentagon papers revealed what really was going on.
LBJ and others created that rationale to continue with the
carnage in Vietnam. And Daniel Elsburg deserved a salute and

(45:55):
instead he was attacked viciously. He was whistle blower. This
is what they do, the whistle blowers, and then the
weapons are massed destruction. You know that Dick Cheney told
us is the reason we had to invade Saddam Hussein
in Iraq? How did that work out? And how we
took out Momar Kadaffi in Libya because at the time

(46:16):
the Secretary of State Hillary decided we needed to fire
them up, take out Momar Kadaffi. How did that work out?
What a mess that is now? But oh oh no,
they never apologized and there's never apology. We made a mistake.
I'm sorry, it was wrong. No before John, So when

(46:41):
we come back, I'll tell you a little bit about
what they know about Ben Shapiro, who I've been in
his company, and Tucker Carlson, who I've been in this company.
The others I really haven't been. I don't want to
surmise what's going on in their minds. How all the
furniture is arranged in the wrong rooms for some like
Candice Owens by Nazi boy, Nikki Fuentes and others. But

(47:06):
I can't tell you about the people that I know.
And then you you'll be the determiner because it's your
turn to be heard here at what should be a
Newfound radio station seven ten wor at eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten. That's eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten Street Smart Straight Talk.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Curtis leewa guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten war.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
So I see Vladimir Zelenski never seems to be in
the Ukraine any longer, either in Europe or other parts.
Nina negotiated piece now his ideas to have a DMC.
I think it's a good idea. He's going to be
down in Mari Lago with President Donald Trump and probably

(48:00):
Trump's team trying to dot the eyes and cross the
tea on his peace plan. He'll be in mari Lago
on Sunday. But the interesting thing is about Manage Chatouage
as I call her, and no doubt one of your

(48:22):
favorites is he Nicki Minaje sort of while triggering the
President to fire off those Tomahawk missiles into deep into Nigeria.
The training camps for Isis and Boca Haram for burning
down Christian churches and kidnapping and killing sometimes the women,

(48:44):
the young women. We'll deal with that. But now let's
deal with what I had talked about Ben Shapiro, who clearly,
with his appearance at turning Point, decided to drop verbal
napalm on Candic and Carlson, Megan Kelly and those who
would differ from him politically in terms of his conservative event.

(49:08):
He is pro Zelenski. I know he interviewed Zelensky on
his podcast pro BB pro Israel. A Orthodox Jew and
he is a practitioner. He is a true believer, and
he's taken on many on the right who clearly do
not support Zelensky or the Ukraine, or support BB in

(49:30):
Israel and have been labeled anti Semites in many respects
for doing that. It's Candice Owen, Tucker Carlson, let's talk
about Ben Shapiro. First. I first met Ben Shapiro over
at AM ninety seventy the answer when I was doing
mornings in Hasberg Heights, New Jersey, a placebo city that
I never saw anybody come in and out of their

(49:52):
house and where I had to walk up the hill
after doing morning drive and go to the boulevard. That's right,
it's not even aname to it is he You're from Jersey.
The boulevard in order to catch the New Jersey Transit
bus back to the Port Authority and then walk over
to the Pennsylvania Hotel to do afternoon drive there. What

(50:15):
was so interesting is that Benjapiro was there and he
was doing a simulcast with the station, the Salem Radio station.
He was like, I think, co hosting at that time
in LA and management there said hey, he's got to
get to New York City. Will you take him back

(50:36):
to New York City. Certainly we had a great conversation.
We went to downtown Newark, took the Path train from
Newark Tense station, and he said, Hey, Curtis, I'm just
going in the men's room and I saw man guys
iph indicating him. Man. I mean, it was like Christmas
come early for them. He was like a walking atm

(50:58):
They were going to rob him, no doubt about it.
And I could feel it right in the marrow of
my bones. So I walk into the men's room and
I say, Yo, you see that guy there. Don't even
think about it. Oh, no, Curtis, and don't even think
about it that I had a great conversation on the
Path training into the city. He was going to visit
some friends and he talked to me about his philosophy,

(51:20):
and at that time he would ghost write books for
some well known people. I won't reveal to you who
they are, who claim they write their own books. And
he said, yeah. It was a way to accumulate resource
because one day he wanted to have his own vehicle,
which became the Daily Wire. So apparently he got paid.

(51:41):
Quite why, I said, what don't you, Ben, don't you
object to the fact that others are taking credit for
what you wrote? He goes, the money's good and it'll
help me achieve my mission, which clearly a dick. So
that's Ben Shapiro. Now Turk Carlson, on the other hand,
I remember meeting. It was I think two thousand and five,

(52:01):
two thousand and six. He was over. He was over
at MSNBC. Yeah, he was a liberal back then. He
was a moderating water bow Tie had the show at night,
nine pm, and he was going on vacation with his
family and he and the producer of this said, Curtis,
could you substitute for me for the week? Now, this
is before MSNBC what you know now to the far left.

(52:25):
But it was pretty pretty liberal, pretty progressive. I think
it was called Tucker on MSNBC. I said, sure, no problem,
So I came over and I did the guest hosting.
Day number one went well. Day number two I was
interviewing Rachel Meadow was not yet on MSNBC. She was
part of Air America at that time, which was the

(52:47):
liberal progressive way of trying to have talk radio outlet
across the nation that had basically liberal progressive values. A
nice try just say. Didn't entertain enough, and they didn't
have enough advertising because it was so busy bashing people
who might have advertised that her show she was on.

(53:10):
It was called Unfiltered. I remember listening to it. You
couldn't listen to it. It was Rachel Maddow obviously not
doing show prep, and Chuck d of Public Enemy, Oh
my god, he didn't know show prep. You see, if
you're gonna do good talk radio, for every hour you're
on the air, you have to do two hours of
show prep. Two hours you cheat on the audience. It's
gonna be obvious. And so that wasn't very good talk radio.

(53:33):
Now they had out Frank and I remember I've seen
him on the Upper West Side outside of Fairways on Broadway. Recently,
Randy Rhoades, Ronnie Reagan, Yeah, son of Ronald Reagan. It
was Jerry Springer. He was on there wild remember Randy Roads,
who's the other person. RFK Junior was on there. This
is before the big Maha movement. But anyway, talker was

(53:56):
very liberal, a moderate, and then he went from MSNBC
to CNN moderate. Then he went to Fox News Channel
replaced O'Reilly. Now he's more conservative, more of a libertarian
now that he does his own podcast. He has been
labeled the anti Semite of the year because he questions

(54:23):
our relationship with Israel. He seems very friendly to the
Gulf regions, especially Qatar, and so now he's been labeled
the anti Semite of the year. Now the question is,
are these true idea logues or as I've told you

(54:45):
for years if you followed me, many of them are
actors and actresses, their teesmians. They could easily win an
Academy Award winning performance if you pay him enough. They'll
say what you want. But some of you get all
in a tizzy and a ladder. Oh my god, what
did they say? Trust me? It's all for clicks for

(55:06):
many of them. For many of them, they are true believers.
But for some of them, they could just as easily
take one position or another if the price was right,
you know, like Eric Adams the price was right. I
think it was like twenty mil for him to drop
out of the race to run for me. I think
you know, if you listen to the Grapevine anyway, I numbers.

(55:28):
This is the time for all of you to be
hurt at what should be your newfound station that you're
listening to seven to ten w orwhen I was up
in Albany and Rensseilli and Schenectady and Troy for the
holiday to be with Nancy's relatives and to do a
operation Hush Hush Mush much to find out why Republican

(55:50):
leadership has thrown at least to phonic under the bus.
Oh I did that at the Copper Crow on Broadway.
Am I gonna be shared that with you? You don't
want to go anywhere, but your time, your time to
be hurt whatever it is that's on your mind. In
the words of my mentoring radio the great Bob Grant,

(56:12):
who had two different stints here at w O War
during his long illustrious career eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten. That's eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. And also tell me how the world will
end when Bernie the outa Kakha Sande squares in zoron

(56:33):
Mandami twelve noon from City Hall, January first, when he
officially becomes the new mayor of the City of New York.
Can you explain to me how it's all over? I mean,
we've had horrible mayors, Comrade builde Blasio, the part time
mayor of the Dope from Park Slope, smoking Maui Wowie
and Hindu Kush with his grift to wife Charlene, Eric
Adams swagger man with no plan getting wine dined in

(56:56):
pocket line and yet everyone, Oh my god, it's gonna
be the end a moment. I'm on it. Yeah, Yo,
come on, this is Curtis Slee. What you're talking to
This Curtis is talk radio with street crag.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Literally Curtis Leewad joined seven ten wor to guess os
for Mark zamof.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Now it's turned your turn to be heard here at
seven ten war should be your place to be reb
You got your talk radio before you can forget about it.
Keep it right here. Anyway, Let's go if we can
to Allen, who's first up in the queue calling from Pennsylvania.

(57:39):
Your turn to be heard here at seven ten war Alan.

Speaker 7 (57:43):
Happy in a healthy media, My brother from another mother.
And I gotta tell you that I got to meet
you in nineteen eighty four for the first time. And uh,
whenever I think of the gladiator door at the College
seat and how few gladiators have walked through that door,

(58:05):
You're a gladiator in my book. Many people get to
be in the arena, but fewer gladiators, and I commend
you for that. I think you're an incredible New Yorker
and someone that deserves great thanks from people that have
followed him. As long as.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
I have the first I'll tell you what. I'll tell
you what, Ellen, Slowly I turned, step by step. Nineteen
eighty four. That was the year the subway gunman Bernard
gets remember that was right before Christmas, in which while
writing downtown on the Number two train to join his
nerdy wonky friends talking about the recent edition of Popular Mechanics,

(58:46):
he ended up shooting. Let me see if I can
remember Barry Allen, Troy Knty, James Ramsoor and Daryl Kaby
writing two books about that They've written two books about
that that are coming out, and now they all want
my opinion. Since I was there side by side knowing

(59:09):
what all the intricate details I see. That's why you
got to listen. Because whether it happened before, or whether
it's happening now, or there are rumors about the future
with I'll share with you towards the end of this
show on twelve, you don't want to go anywhere, and
continue to do so as I substitute for Mark Simon
after the dropping of the ball, the welcoming in and

(59:31):
the New York Year, the swearing inns are on Mondami
and obviously I'll be here till January second. But I
love being a gladiator. The question is who's better as
a gladiator, Russell Crowe or Denzel Your turn to be heard?
Let's go if we can to Bob, who's patiently waiting

(59:54):
on the line from Long Island. Your turn to be
heard here at seven to ten wr.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Hey is Bob Hey? I want to let you know
you're totally wrong about your snowfall. Statements of the earlier
part of the show, the snowy swiners we've had in
New York of occur since two thousand and if you
recall in twenty fifteen, we had sixty consecutive days of
one is a more snow on the ground in Central Park,
which was a record. So you're saying that way back

(01:00:21):
when those mountains of snow with the snowy swinters, You're
actually absolutely wrong. Oh hoasly checked Central Park records.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Hold on, shake Bob, you know what records I check?
How many times you had to put on my goloshes
in order to get out there and go to the snow.
So you're telling me that what we're hearing all this
fear of fright in hysteria about this snow fall might
be four, six, eight inches or more, that it's comparable

(01:00:53):
to what was happening when I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Curtis just checked the Central Park weather records.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
When I want to check Central Park weather records, how
about my glotchis how about how many times I was
out there? You were going to compare this to when
you were growing up nineteen ninety six, Rudy Giuliani eleven snowstorms,
twenty inches of snow in the city, thirty in Staten Island. Really,

(01:01:24):
I say, the reason when I'm having these kinds of
snowfalls any longer. See, this is what bugs people because
I believe in global warming and climate change. Oh my god,
how could you say that? Well, because I believe it's true.
I'm sure many of you think it's fake. Well guess what,
it's not fake. That's good to Jackie is calling from Pennsylvania.

(01:01:48):
Your turn to be heard? He at what should be
your newfound station seven ten war.

Speaker 8 (01:01:55):
Oh yes it is, Curtis High. I am born and
raised in the You could take the kid out of
the Bronx, but you can't take the Bronx out of
the kids.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Now.

Speaker 8 (01:02:04):
I'm a big, big fan of yours, Curtis. Were you
aware that Greg Kelly during the Democrat Democratic Primary was
asking people to vote for Mendanni because he hated Cuomo?
Were you aware of that? And you know I called
him after the November election and I brought that up

(01:02:25):
to him and he was taken back. My husband is
a witness to this, and he goes, well, I have
a right to change my mind, and I'm like, what
a phony?

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Curtis again, Oh yes, And he said it over and
over again during the Democratic primary. Greg Kelly, who never
does show prep, who knows nothing, about politics, and in fact,
he'll tell that to his audience. He goes, I really
don't know anything about politician, and then for the next
three hours he'll tell you everything he doesn't know. But

(01:02:57):
you're right. All during the Democratic primary he was encouraging
the listeners, which is his right to vote for Zorhanmandami
and not for Angewl Cmo. He called Andrew Cormo the
Prince of darkness constantly and rightfully so talked about the
fifteen thousand elderly who died as a result of his

(01:03:17):
executive orders during the lockdown and pandemic. And then, boy,
you talk about a pivot in shift. All of a sudden,
he was a Cuomo sexual. He couldn't get enough of
Angewel Crmo, and there's a reason for that. Again, don't
take these people seriously, Jackie. They are like actors and actresses.

(01:03:39):
If they're given their script, their lines, they're talking points,
they can because this is what they believe and understand
this to all listeners, whether it's talksho hosts, hostesses, whether
it's politicians, Democrats or Republicans, they believe that you're all sheep,
that you're stupid. I've been in many conversations where I've

(01:04:00):
defended people because I trust people. I don't trust politicians.
I don't trust talk show hosts. I just don't because
I've known them. And what they'll do is they'll say, oh,
you don't trust uh, don't trust them. They won't remember
what you said five seconds ago, five minutes ago, five
weeks ago, five days ago, five months ago. They need

(01:04:21):
sheeap burdise like us. And Greg Kelly is a perfect example.
Come on, he never listened to talk radio going up.
You knew that h Garden City, Long Island, tough guy
out there right protected by his daddy. Was a great guy.
Ray Kelly longest serving police commissioner, but not a talk
radio guy. Maybe talk TV, talk radio. No, he just

(01:04:45):
he runs out of gas and he doesn't want you
to remember what he was saying during the Democratic primary.
And as much as I hate, I loathe, I despise
Andrew evilized Cuomo. Hey, Andrew, I send them you prove
your us fat chiem and you are what happened to him.
He's hanging out there in the Hamptons, slid back under

(01:05:07):

with his billionaire millionaire friends. And this guy Greg Kelly
was actually telling everyone to vote for Johan Mandami. Hey,
by the way, you know who else was telling him
during the Democratic primary that he chose not to run
in Eric Adams Swagerman with no plan. Yeah, him and

(01:05:28):
his Jewish advisor in city hall, manage and the rest
were telling members of the Orthodox and Ha city community, Hey,

a vote so that Eric Adams can get back into
the race and it'll knockout Andrew cormol. Right. They're fake, phony,

(01:05:48):
fraud lymph the keysies. And the reason that a lot
of people don't want my voice to be heard is

buried them, and who was that Gavon who had called

nuns told me that I had to repeat that Saint
Brendan the navigator discovering the New world that was on
Eastern parkla Utica Avenue, and because they all lived in
the convent, you had to get to school. They don't

(01:06:32):
have that any longer. By the way, the cardinal is gone,
dole it ooh fo, thank god, did not like that
guy closed all these Catholic schools. And by the way,
how much the parishian is having to pay for all
these sexual assault charges by priests against kids. I mean, god,

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.
