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 takes your calls! 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):
He knows his way around all this. Hates the Mark
Simone Show on seven to ten. Woo.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, hey, as I said, we're like our fifth Thanksgiving
dinner here, there's like this massive Thanksgiving buffet every day.
The turkey, the stuffing, the cranberry juice, the sweet well,
all this stuff. But here's the good news. There's a
new study out that one of the healthiest things you
can eat is pumpkin. Pumpkin pure is as healthy as
(00:36):
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 health,
(01:00):
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 puree.
Make sure it's organic. Pumpkin is good, make sure it
doesn't have a ton of sugar in it. But pumpkin
(01:20):
pie can be very, very healthy for you. 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
(01:41):
do not have to follow an illegal order. And they're
going on and on and on about illegal orders and
getting everybody all uled 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.
(02:07):
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
and women might disobey in order, well that's the sedition.
(02:28):
You can go to jail for that. You can actually
be executed for a 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
(02:52):
of War is investigating these people. It'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
(03:13):
the military. In other words, he could be called back
to active duty. 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
(03:34):
went into uniform and served our you know, give you
the sanctimonious, pompous speeches. Meantime, he's trying to get the
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
(03:56):
martial this guy for it. You could charge him with addition,
there's a uniform to military justice. Now, there's no illegal
orders being given. Nobody's ever 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,
(04:17):
very nice people, very honorable people. But if some people
came around here and said to everybody, listen, if they're
told to do anything illegal here, we'll have your back.
What Yeah, if you'd 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?
(04:38):
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
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
(05:00):
charges to come against Mark Kelly and some of them.
And also, like I said that, looked for him to
be recalled to service and then court martialed, and nobody
deserves it more than this guy. Hey, here's a really
disgusting story. You know, in nine to eleven, several hundred
(05:20):
people died nine to eleven down there by the World
Trade Center, 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 crap was in that air. And we never knew this,
(05:41):
but it turns out that from the beginning, somebody in
the city, some departments, were some place, they did studies
and detailed exactly what was in the air, the exact
chemicals and toxins, the whole thing, well, in boxes. It's
now twenty four years later. The boxes have been discovered.
(06:04):
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
the air, it might have made it easier and more
(06:26):
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
I mean, you can't believe it, Well, you can believe it.
(06:48):
But our city government back then, we like to think
was very honest and open, but apparently not so.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Mayor Adams went to the Party synagogue that was the synagogue,
but the premier synagogue of Manhattan, Parky Synagogue, where these
they call them protesters, but really they were Muslim terrorists
that descended on Jewish worshippers going to the synagogue, and
Mayor Adams was away at the time. Jessica Tish went
(07:19):
there on Sunday and made a speech and apologized, actually Saturday,
apologized to everybody there for the police not handling it correctly.
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
(07:42):
Rabbi Arthur Schneier and other temple members, and apparently he
apologized to them. The protesters at the Parky Synagogue were
allowed to get way too close. Jessica Tish apologized for that.
They were not protesters, they were Muslim terrorists screaming. Also,
it's a horrible things that the people just simply trying
(08:03):
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
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
(08:26):
are implicated in these events. Full investigation underway with the
US Attorney's Office Southern Districts. So you might see some arrests,
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 later this hour. We'll ask
him about this kind of thing where the Guardian Angels
(08:47):
would come in to and protect people. Hey, speaking of
arresting people, the Louver this brilliant heist. You remember reading
about these twelve guys or whatever, brilliantly unbelievable skilled. They
broke into the louver, they stole the jewels, they got out.
It was so professional, so unbelieved. Well, it turns out
(09:07):
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 some private collectors,
some kind of crazy sultan, some kind of sicko James
Bond type villain who wanted just to own them and
have them something like that. They don't know if it
(09:28):
was that, or they were broken apart, broken down and
the jewels sold. Who knows. Who knows, but a couple
more arrest they'll eventually get to the 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
(09:49):
be released. They're going through them. But apparently the Epstein files,
the actual physical files there are some kind of a target.
So the FBI has to deploy hundreds of officers to
guard the files. The files are kept at the Central
Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia, which is a massive two
(10:11):
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 their headquarters, has
them in Winchester, Virginia guarding the Records Complex because Epstein's
brother Mark put out some weird statement about the files
(10:34):
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 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
(10:54):
we TV ME, TV antennatv TV Land. Every night there
Everybody Loves Raymond. It's like the new I Love Lucy
in that even though you've seen the episode 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,
(11:18):
you can get it online. You can stream it. The
whole cast was back, except of course for the parents,
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.
(11:40):
I didn't know that. But no longer with us. But
the special was on last night, some very touching moments.
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 yes, I've told
(12:01):
you they were very careful not to put any technology
in it. So you never saw the TV set, 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
(12:22):
where he has that Apple Macintosh computer from nineteen ninety five,
everything looks so old and out dated. 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,
(12:43):
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 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 at the Rock and Roll Hall 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
(13:05):
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,
Ione said Deblasio. Mandani has putting together the transition team.
They've already got four hundred people on the transition team. Now,
(13:27):
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 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
(13:47):
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. So
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 donate a lot of
(14:09):
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, we
went to meetings, and what did you do in the meeting? Well,
we met. They don't really do anything, they just talk.
It's like it's like those Broadway producers, those investors, you
(14:34):
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 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
(14:56):
how America was founded and born that have seen it
said they've all turned it off after ten minutes. It
was so misleading, deceitful, false, lying about America. We not
only killed all the Indians and stall their land. It
was the Indians that had developed democracy and we simply
copied it. None of this is true, but apparently this
(15:18):
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 on the why would
they defund PBS? Why would the government stop funding PBS.
This is why PBS you were begging to get your
money cut off with this fake news nonsense. But avoid
(15:39):
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 3 (15:52):
Now back to the Mark Simon show on WOR.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
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 4 (16:06):
Ah? Yes, I just wanted to say. When I was
in the military, Uh, 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
(16:27):
up on a court and I had to go to
a court martial. They can they can be really screwy.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Wait wait a tank.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
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. Oh, 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 to do it. That night during the
ring sounds all silly.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
What combat zone was this?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh you were in Vietnam? Oh yeah, oh my god. Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
And 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 2 (17:21):
You're gonna be honest with you. Out of all the
war stories I've heard about bombing missions and air raids,
this is not the most exciting war story. A cigarette.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, this is what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Cleaning a tank a cigarette. But this is not the
biggest war stories.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
But it's this is well, I'm just saying, no, you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Got a good point. They court martial people over silly things.
But oh yeah, yeah, all right, Charles, good, good, good call.
Let's go to Mitchell Monroe Township. Mitchell. How you doing?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Oh? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Inside the sofa? Are you in the trunk of a car?
Are you being kidnapped? Why are you all muffled?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yes, all right, I'll talk. Thank you too. I muffle
my voice.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, a mark, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Do you have are you wearing like six masks? Why
do you sound all muffled?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
No, I'm having trouble in my speech. I'm not a youngster.
Oh okay, 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 buildings down
from the nineteenth precinct.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It's the sixty seventh Street, yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yes, and it's also near the train station. Now these
are protesters. The so called protesters did not arrive by
taxi cab. They must have come up from the subway
or down from the new seventy second Street. Submit.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, these are all good points. You know, 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 what
would you please? I will we'll ask him next. Yeah,
the nineteenth precinct. But you gotta remember, you think, well
it's a precinct right there. What safety not necessarily, you know,
because sometimes cars get broken into right in front of
the precinct. Catt Remember it's a precinct, but the cops
(19:07):
aren't in there, they're all out of patrolling. That that
doesn't mean they're all sitting in the building and looking
out the windows. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,
how you doing, good morning?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
More First things first, I want to wish you and
your family are very happy, healthy and a safe thanksgiving.
The same to Vincent and his family, Mara.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And let's not do the whole audience, but let's get
to the question.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
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. Any
order you were in the military, it is yes, sir,
it was where were you stationed? I was in the
(19:51):
United States Navy during Vietnam. That is correct?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That oh yes. Any any order that consant any superior officer,
whether the commission for not commission, you must obey that
order for you are subject to you see m Jay.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh okay, well, thanks for calling y's veterans in this audience.
Let's go to UH Wagner in Philadelphia. Wagner, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Hey, good morning, mister Mark. Yes, what's going on in
this country right now? With these Democrats?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Leave it all?
Speaker 7 (20:20):
They they it'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 to assession to our president.
From where you're from, I'm from Dominican Republic. I live
(20:42):
in Philadelphia if you call that living.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But okay, Uh, the Dominican Republic is beautiful, Sonny, right,
nice place.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. And here you have a lot
of baseball players.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh yeah, that's good, that's true. Yeah, they gotta 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. Curtis Ly
when a moment on seven to ten w R.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Mark Simon on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Wo oh, it's time for me. We're looking for Curtis Lee. Well,
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
(21:39):
job now Twitter, I guess. But he put out a
statement about something about the future, 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 you know, he's kind of like herpies, can
never get rid of it complete. It's always comes back
(22:00):
some point. So people a little upset about all of that. Mamdani,
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 Mamdani in the Oval office, and of
course he says, I want to see New York City
(22:21):
do well, but he's sick seeing this. Oh we found
Curtis all right, the guy that should have been the
mayor maybe will be someday in the future, is with us,
the great Curtis Slee. What Curtis? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Not too good? Mark?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I was in Malba and Queens 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 Johann Mandani.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I don't understand the story. This cargang, the drag
races 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 during this?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Well, they've been doing this for in fact two years mark.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
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 signed out at night
in the precincts in the outer boroughs.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
This needs to be dealt with. We don't have enough police.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
So imagine from twelve min night to five, or from
one to five, you only have two squad cars that
are patrolling a precinct area.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Now, let's say there's a nine.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
To one one called domestic dispute, a fight in a bar.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
That's two cars that are tied up.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
They can't go to where this gang was just tearing
up the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But this has been done before.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
In those Zone Parts South, those Zone parts, Massith, 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.
But it did just happened, It's been happening for two years,
and the NYPD has done nothing to shut down these
(24:06):
card gangs.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Okay, that's a precinct. But isn't there like a borough
command or of some isn't there a special task for
isn't there anything that've been called in the middle of
the night to come out?
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
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 their place of business or their home.
So what they do is they cut back on policing
(24:40):
from about twelve midnight 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 from
(25:00):
the mayor right on down to a sanitation worker that
protects them from being sued personally.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
The only department where.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
That does not exist because it was stripped away from
them by the city council in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Other police, if.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
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 personal lawsuit. They cannot bear the
burden of that. So it's going to be impossible to
retain the cops we already have and try to recruit
a new generation of cops.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
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 1 (25:44):
Oh no, she has been. She has been.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
But again, you know I was there last night talking
to the cops. Obviously they were spread everywhere. You know
what happens mart you have no cops. And then all
of a sudden, the situation in city Hall says, I
don't care send the whole precinct, doubt I want cops
bobbing into one another. But I spoke to the cops
and they said, Curtis, this is an ongoing situation. Imagine
(26:08):
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 where it takes you maybe
forty five minutes to go to one one part of
the precinct to the other part of the precinct. There's
just not enough cops. Escatish won't acknowledge that. Obviously, the
(26:31):
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 Lowell. Where is
Matt Lawer today? Where's the mayor today?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Well, 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 1 (26:53):
There, Oh, there it is.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
They blocked the entry into the synagogue, a well renowned syenneagogue.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Nothing was done to them.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
So Jessica Tiss goes in and apologizes to them, swears
it will never happen again.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know it's gonna happen again.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Zorhanmandami said nothing to condemn it, said, oh no, no,
it was a violation of international law. What Jews meeting
to plan 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
(27:31):
violation of international boar. That happens with other countries also,
So again we see Zorhan Mandami, he's not even been
sworn in, not at all condemning the demonstrators who were violent,
who were blocking people's ability to enter that synagogue, and
the police did not.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Do their job.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
And all I heard was Randy Mascro 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 about this.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, yeah, well Spekistan, what was he doing there? In Mark,
nothing good.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Happens to a Usbekistan. What was he coming out with
more bags of money to bring back?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, what did you call it? Wining, dining, pocket lining,
that kind of.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
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 wine, dined in, pocket lined, because that's a
corrupt administration there. Well, why would a mayor need to
be in Uzbekistan or Albania? Remember when he began this
(28:37):
trip around the world at taxpayer's expense on my dad.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
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 3 (28:53):
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
Johan Mondami.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
He got beaten.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
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 zombie. He plots
his revenge, his vendettas, and his return. And I think
we're going to have to live with Andrew Como until
(29:32):
the day we die, always teasing us, talking about what
position he.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Wants to run for. I would suggest to him that
he just leave New York State.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
He go down to Florida, like he threatened to do
if Johan Mandami was elected mayor. Remember he was out
there in the Hamptons he said, hey, look, if Zora's elected,
I'm leaving a Florida.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Try your look in Florida.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
All right, But he in this race, he had every
powerful person in a 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 3 (30:14):
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.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Of us are sheep, and we don't understand.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
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 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.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
And write a memoir. You know, maybe twenty five copies
will be sold. You know, he can invite some of
his friends. Yeah, but it's over. It's over fans who
came on. And by the way, if he wants to
fight for the Democratic.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Party, he's the one who rolled over and sacrificed it
with no cash bar raise the age close Rikers Island.
He's set it up for Zorahan Mandami and the Democratic
Socialists of America.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
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 1 (31:15):
Oh, you know they will some no show job. You know,
he'll be in charge of some kind of think tank
he will need to be in. Maybe he could run
for the mayor of Southampton.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You know, he spends more time in the Hamptons than
he does in the city of New York.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That's you know, that's the position he might be able
to win. Mark.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, no, that's a good job. Who's that young guy,
Jesse whatever his name was, the mayor of Southampton?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah, no, no, he could make headlines from there.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You know, a lot of influential people obviously have homes
out there.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's what I would suggest he do.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
That he needs to go home to the Hamptons and
be with his brother Fredo Chris and this this way
they can talk about how how they're victims.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Oh poor, the poor Quall boys. We're victims again. Oh
foh yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
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 1 (32:05):
There uh at Curtishlee you can check out.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I was in Malba last night and getting down 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 with Johann Mandami
in town.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Oh god. Well, everybody check out Curtis on Instagram and
Twitter and I'll follow him there. Curtis Lee, Well, thanks
for being.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
With us always.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Mark all right, take care. Don't forget Buck and Clay
coming up noon today seven to ten wor mister.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
New York marks them on seventh al.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Woa, we're out of time. Actually, I'm taking the rest
of the week off. I think I deserve it. I've
been here two days this week. I said, no, no, actually,
I'm taking the week off. Have a great Thanksgiving. I'll
be back Monday ten to noon. And don't go away
Bucking Clay next to your Monday. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Seven to ten wo
He knows his way around all this. Hates the Mark
Simone Show on seven to ten. Woo.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, hey, as I said, we're like our fifth Thanksgiving
dinner here, there's like this massive Thanksgiving buffet every day.
The turkey, the stuffing, the cranberry juice, the sweet well,
all this stuff. But here's the good news. There's a
new study out that one of the healthiest things you
can eat is pumpkin. Pumpkin pure is as healthy as
(00:36):
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 health,
(01:00):
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 puree.
Make sure it's organic. Pumpkin is good, make sure it
doesn't have a ton of sugar in it. But pumpkin
(01:20):
pie can be very, very healthy for you. 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
(01:41):
do not have to follow an illegal order. And they're
going on and on and on about illegal orders and
getting everybody all uled 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.
(02:07):
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
and women might disobey in order, well that's the sedition.
(02:28):
You can go to jail for that. You can actually
be executed for a 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
(02:52):
of War is investigating these people. It'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
(03:13):
the military. In other words, he could be called back
to active duty. 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
(03:34):
went into uniform and served our you know, give you
the sanctimonious, pompous speeches. Meantime, he's trying to get the
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
(03:56):
martial this guy for it. You could charge him with addition,
there's a uniform to military justice. Now, there's no illegal
orders being given. Nobody's ever 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,
(04:17):
very nice people, very honorable people. But if some people
came around here and said to everybody, listen, if they're
told to do anything illegal here, we'll have your back.
What Yeah, if you'd 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?
(04:38):
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
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
(05:00):
charges to come against Mark Kelly and some of them.
And also, like I said that, looked for him to
be recalled to service and then court martialed, and nobody
deserves it more than this guy. Hey, here's a really
disgusting story. You know, in nine to eleven, several hundred
(05:20):
people died nine to eleven down there by the World
Trade Center, 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 crap was in that air. And we never knew this,
(05:41):
but it turns out that from the beginning, somebody in
the city, some departments, were some place, they did studies
and detailed exactly what was in the air, the exact
chemicals and toxins, the whole thing, well, in boxes. It's
now twenty four years later. The boxes have been discovered.
(06:04):
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
the air, it might have made it easier and more
(06:26):
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
I mean, you can't believe it, Well, you can believe it.
(06:48):
But our city government back then, we like to think
was very honest and open, but apparently not so.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Mayor Adams went to the Party synagogue that was the synagogue,
but the premier synagogue of Manhattan, Parky Synagogue, where these
they call them protesters, but really they were Muslim terrorists
that descended on Jewish worshippers going to the synagogue, and
Mayor Adams was away at the time. Jessica Tish went
(07:19):
there on Sunday and made a speech and apologized, actually Saturday,
apologized to everybody there for the police not handling it correctly.
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
(07:42):
Rabbi Arthur Schneier and other temple members, and apparently he
apologized to them. The protesters at the Parky Synagogue were
allowed to get way too close. Jessica Tish apologized for that.
They were not protesters, they were Muslim terrorists screaming. Also,
it's a horrible things that the people just simply trying
(08:03):
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
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
(08:26):
are implicated in these events. Full investigation underway with the
US Attorney's Office Southern Districts. So you might see some arrests,
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 later this hour. We'll ask
him about this kind of thing where the Guardian Angels
(08:47):
would come in to and protect people. Hey, speaking of
arresting people, the Louver this brilliant heist. You remember reading
about these twelve guys or whatever, brilliantly unbelievable skilled. They
broke into the louver, they stole the jewels, they got out.
It was so professional, so unbelieved. Well, it turns out
(09:07):
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 some private collectors,
some kind of crazy sultan, some kind of sicko James
Bond type villain who wanted just to own them and
have them something like that. They don't know if it
(09:28):
was that, or they were broken apart, broken down and
the jewels sold. Who knows. Who knows, but a couple
more arrest they'll eventually get to the 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
(09:49):
be released. They're going through them. But apparently the Epstein files,
the actual physical files there are some kind of a target.
So the FBI has to deploy hundreds of officers to
guard the files. The files are kept at the Central
Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia, which is a massive two
(10:11):
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 their headquarters, has
them in Winchester, Virginia guarding the Records Complex because Epstein's
brother Mark put out some weird statement about the files
(10:34):
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 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
(10:54):
we TV ME, TV antennatv TV Land. Every night there
Everybody Loves Raymond. It's like the new I Love Lucy
in that even though you've seen the episode 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,
(11:18):
you can get it online. You can stream it. The
whole cast was back, except of course for the parents,
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.
(11:40):
I didn't know that. But no longer with us. But
the special was on last night, some very touching moments.
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 yes, I've told
(12:01):
you they were very careful not to put any technology
in it. So you never saw the TV set, 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
(12:22):
where he has that Apple Macintosh computer from nineteen ninety five,
everything looks so old and out dated. 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,
(12:43):
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 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 at the Rock and Roll Hall 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
(13:05):
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,
Ione said Deblasio. Mandani has putting together the transition team.
They've already got four hundred people on the transition team. Now,
(13:27):
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 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
(13:47):
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. So
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 donate a lot of
(14:09):
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, we
went to meetings, and what did you do in the meeting? Well,
we met. They don't really do anything, they just talk.
It's like it's like those Broadway producers, those investors, you
(14:34):
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 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
(14:56):
how America was founded and born that have seen it
said they've all turned it off after ten minutes. It
was so misleading, deceitful, false, lying about America. We not
only killed all the Indians and stall their land. It
was the Indians that had developed democracy and we simply
copied it. None of this is true, but apparently this
(15:18):
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 on the why would
they defund PBS? Why would the government stop funding PBS.
This is why PBS you were begging to get your
money cut off with this fake news nonsense. But avoid
(15:39):
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 3 (15:52):
Now back to the Mark Simon show on WOR.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
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 4 (16:06):
Ah? Yes, I just wanted to say. When I was
in the military, Uh, 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
(16:27):
up on a court and I had to go to
a court martial. They can they can be really screwy.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Wait wait a tank.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
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. Oh, 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 to do it. That night during the
ring sounds all silly.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
What combat zone was this?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh you were in Vietnam? Oh yeah, oh my god. Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
And 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 2 (17:21):
You're gonna be honest with you. Out of all the
war stories I've heard about bombing missions and air raids,
this is not the most exciting war story. A cigarette.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, this is what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Cleaning a tank a cigarette. But this is not the
biggest war stories.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
But it's this is well, I'm just saying, no, you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Got a good point. They court martial people over silly things.
But oh yeah, yeah, all right, Charles, good, good, good call.
Let's go to Mitchell Monroe Township. Mitchell. How you doing?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Oh? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Inside the sofa? Are you in the trunk of a car?
Are you being kidnapped? Why are you all muffled?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yes, all right, I'll talk. Thank you too. I muffle
my voice.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, a mark, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Do you have are you wearing like six masks? Why
do you sound all muffled?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
No, I'm having trouble in my speech. I'm not a youngster.
Oh okay, 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 buildings down
from the nineteenth precinct.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It's the sixty seventh Street, yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yes, and it's also near the train station. Now these
are protesters. The so called protesters did not arrive by
taxi cab. They must have come up from the subway
or down from the new seventy second Street. Submit.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, these are all good points. You know, 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 what
would you please? I will we'll ask him next. Yeah,
the nineteenth precinct. But you gotta remember, you think, well
it's a precinct right there. What safety not necessarily, you know,
because sometimes cars get broken into right in front of
the precinct. Catt Remember it's a precinct, but the cops
(19:07):
aren't in there, they're all out of patrolling. That that
doesn't mean they're all sitting in the building and looking
out the windows. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,
how you doing, good morning?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
More First things first, I want to wish you and
your family are very happy, healthy and a safe thanksgiving.
The same to Vincent and his family, Mara.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And let's not do the whole audience, but let's get
to the question.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
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. 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?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Wow?

whether the commission for not commission, you must obey that
order for you are subject to you see m Jay.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh okay, well, thanks for calling y's veterans in this audience.
Let's go to UH Wagner in Philadelphia. Wagner, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Hey, good morning, mister Mark. Yes, what's going on in
this country right now? With these Democrats?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Leave it all?
Speaker 7 (20:20):
They they it'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 to assession to our president.
From where you're from, I'm from Dominican Republic. I live
(20:42):
in Philadelphia if you call that living.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But okay, Uh, the Dominican Republic is beautiful, Sonny, right,
nice place.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. And here you have a lot
of baseball players.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh yeah, that's good, that's true. Yeah, they gotta 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. Curtis Ly
when a moment on seven to ten w R.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Mark Simon on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Wo oh, it's time for me. We're looking for Curtis Lee. Well,
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
(21:39):
job now Twitter, I guess. But he put out a
statement about something about the future, 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 you know, he's kind of like herpies, can
never get rid of it complete. It's always comes back
(22:00):
some point. So people a little upset about all of that. Mamdani,
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 Mamdani in the Oval office, and of
course he says, I want to see New York City
(22:21):
do well, but he's sick seeing this. Oh we found
Curtis all right, the guy that should have been the
mayor maybe will be someday in the future, is with us,
the great Curtis Slee. What Curtis? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Not too good? Mark?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I was in Malba and Queens 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 Johann Mandani.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I don't understand the story. This cargang, the drag
races 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 during this?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Well, they've been doing this for in fact two years mark.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
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 signed out at night
in the precincts in the outer boroughs.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
This needs to be dealt with. We don't have enough police.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
So imagine from twelve min night to five, or from
one to five, you only have two squad cars that
are patrolling a precinct area.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Now, let's say there's a nine.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
To one one called domestic dispute, a fight in a bar.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
That's two cars that are tied up.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
They can't go to where this gang was just tearing
up the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But this has been done before.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
In those Zone Parts South, those Zone parts, Massith, 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.
But it did just happened, It's been happening for two years,
and the NYPD has done nothing to shut down these
(24:06):
card gangs.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Okay, that's a precinct. But isn't there like a borough
command or of some isn't there a special task for
isn't there anything that've been called in the middle of
the night to come out?
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
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 their place of business or their home.
So what they do is they cut back on policing
(24:40):
from about twelve midnight 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 from
(25:00):
the mayor right on down to a sanitation worker that
protects them from being sued personally.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
The only department where.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
That does not exist because it was stripped away from
them by the city council in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Other police, if.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
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 personal lawsuit. They cannot bear the
burden of that. So it's going to be impossible to
retain the cops we already have and try to recruit
a new generation of cops.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
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 1 (25:44):
Oh no, she has been. She has been.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
But again, you know I was there last night talking
to the cops. Obviously they were spread everywhere. You know
what happens mart you have no cops. And then all
of a sudden, the situation in city Hall says, I
don't care send the whole precinct, doubt I want cops
bobbing into one another. But I spoke to the cops
and they said, Curtis, this is an ongoing situation. Imagine
(26:08):
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 where it takes you maybe
forty five minutes to go to one one part of
the precinct to the other part of the precinct. There's
just not enough cops. Escatish won't acknowledge that. Obviously, the
(26:31):
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 Lowell. Where is
Matt Lawer today? Where's the mayor today?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Well, 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 1 (26:53):
There, Oh, there it is.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
They blocked the entry into the synagogue, a well renowned syenneagogue.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Nothing was done to them.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
So Jessica Tiss goes in and apologizes to them, swears
it will never happen again.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know it's gonna happen again.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Zorhanmandami said nothing to condemn it, said, oh no, no,
it was a violation of international law. What Jews meeting
to plan 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
(27:31):
violation of international boar. That happens with other countries also,
So again we see Zorhan Mandami, he's not even been
sworn in, not at all condemning the demonstrators who were violent,
who were blocking people's ability to enter that synagogue, and
the police did not.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Do their job.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
And all I heard was Randy Mascro 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 about this.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, yeah, well Spekistan, what was he doing there? In Mark,
nothing good.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Happens to a Usbekistan. What was he coming out with
more bags of money to bring back?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, what did you call it? Wining, dining, pocket lining,
that kind of.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
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 wine, dined in, pocket lined, because that's a
corrupt administration there. Well, why would a mayor need to
be in Uzbekistan or Albania? Remember when he began this
(28:37):
trip around the world at taxpayer's expense on my dad.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
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 3 (28:53):
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
Johan Mondami.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
He got beaten.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
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 zombie. He plots
his revenge, his vendettas, and his return. And I think
we're going to have to live with Andrew Como until
(29:32):
the day we die, always teasing us, talking about what
position he.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Wants to run for. I would suggest to him that
he just leave New York State.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
He go down to Florida, like he threatened to do
if Johan Mandami was elected mayor. Remember he was out
there in the Hamptons he said, hey, look, if Zora's elected,
I'm leaving a Florida.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Try your look in Florida.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
All right, But he in this race, he had every
powerful person in a 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 3 (30:14):
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.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Of us are sheep, and we don't understand.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
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 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.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
And write a memoir. You know, maybe twenty five copies
will be sold. You know, he can invite some of
his friends. Yeah, but it's over. It's over fans who
came on. And by the way, if he wants to
fight for the Democratic.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Party, he's the one who rolled over and sacrificed it
with no cash bar raise the age close Rikers Island.
He's set it up for Zorahan Mandami and the Democratic
Socialists of America.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
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 1 (31:15):
Oh, you know they will some no show job. You know,
he'll be in charge of some kind of think tank
he will need to be in. Maybe he could run
for the mayor of Southampton.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You know, he spends more time in the Hamptons than
he does in the city of New York.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That's you know, that's the position he might be able
to win. Mark.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, no, that's a good job. Who's that young guy,
Jesse whatever his name was, the mayor of Southampton?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah, no, no, he could make headlines from there.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You know, a lot of influential people obviously have homes
out there.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's what I would suggest he do.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
That he needs to go home to the Hamptons and
be with his brother Fredo Chris and this this way
they can talk about how how they're victims.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Oh poor, the poor Quall boys. We're victims again. Oh
foh yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
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 1 (32:05):
There uh at Curtishlee you can check out.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I was in Malba last night and getting down 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 with Johann Mandami
in town.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Oh god. Well, everybody check out Curtis on Instagram and
Twitter and I'll follow him there. Curtis Lee, Well, thanks
