Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis Leewall
guest host the Mark Simone Show on sevent ten woor.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Doesn't get any better than this, be on this iconic
radio station where the call letters the only place I
know of in America, and I've been on most stations
from time to time, there's only three letters wor.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And I remember the time that I had to carry
all the items from Bob Grant to King of Talk
Radio from the studios of WABC where he had been
fired by Bob Iger of Disney. When Disney owned WABC
and other talk radio stations, why would they be in
the talk radio business.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It's controversial, but they were.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And nobody would help Bob Grant, who had helped so
many people at WABC. Nobody could touch Bob Grant, and
so I said, I'll bring it over, and I took
some of the hand trucks. I made trips back and
forth from WABC, which was the seventeenth four to two
Penn Plaza right by Madison Square Garden up to fourteen
(01:21):
forty Broadway, and everybody was amazed that I would do that.
They say, you know, if Bob Iger hears about this,
he'll fire you. You know what words I gave in
his direction, I say, are you kidding? Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
For this?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
A guy who put us on the map WABC, Bob Grant.
And by the way, just a little bit of information
in the past. In nineteen seventy seven, Barry Farba, the
Great Barry Farther, no longer with us, was the overnight
host here at WR. He had just run against Bella
Absick for Congress and had lost as a Conservative Republican.
(02:00):
And then he decided he was going to run for mayor,
as obviously I have twice. And in nineteen seventy seven
he was running against Ed Koch Mario Como. By the way, Andrew,
I knew your father, Mario. You know Mariocomo. He was
on the Liberal party line. There was Barry Farber on
(02:23):
the conservative line, and Roy Goodman, who was the Republican
state Senator of the Upper east Side, the heir to
the ex Lax fortune. He was a Rockefeller Liberal Republican.
They had twelve debates. Gaye Pressman was the moderated twelve debates,
and it was at Coach who won. I think Barry
(02:44):
Farber got four percent and Roy Goodman got about four percent.
It was coch and Mariocomo who split the rest of
the votes. But it was a great race to follow.
So Barry Farber had left. Bob Grant was the old
host at WOR that I listened to, and then later
(03:04):
on he was to return to WOR. As I had
mentioned when being fired by Bob Igar of Disney and
is he I had a substitute for him for the
first month. Uh, those fax machines didn't stop, you know,
it was like NonStop back then. The fax machine would
run you, Trader, why you there? Bob Grant is your mentor.
(03:29):
You wouldn't be on talk radio WABC without him. I said,
exactly right, But.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
This is the business we have chosen.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And if I got fired, Bob Grant would say, why,
I hope he lands on his feet, and I knew
he would. Those fax machines kept running twenty four seven
three six' five for like three straight weeks with the
most vile invectives that people could scratch out and write.
Out and then of course there Was Barry gray mid.
(04:01):
Mornings BUT i remember the personal situation Involving Barry, gray
who has missed a Second.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Amendment tough, guy but also.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
He was the leader of those that wanted to remove
the horse drawn carriages From Central, park WHICH i and
my Wife nancy were in favor, of and so many.
Others he was ahead of his. Time on the morning
Of june, nineteenth nineteen ninety, two on my way TO
wabc to do the morning Show angels in The morning
(04:30):
with my wife at the, Time lisa Now Lisa ever's
over At channel, FIVE i was shot five times with
hollow point bullets on the orders Of John Gotty senior
To John Gotti junior and The gambino crime. Family the
Guy Michael ianatti was the guy who shot me five.
Times he did twenty years for. That but the interesting thing,
(04:52):
is SINCE i was being rushed To Bellevue, hospital they
didn't know IF i would live or. Die lisa was
on her way, there and my producer at that, Time Mike,
thompson took over the, show and the first person to
call in that morning Was Verry, gray who had just
finished the, overnight said W, orr concerned about what had
(05:14):
happened to. Me weeks, later WHEN i came back on the,
air the first caller into the show was Very.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
GRAY i, mean these are the men.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And in some cases, Women like had Mentioned Arlene Francis
Lynn samuels over AT wabc eclectic as she. Was they
paved the way for all of us in talk, radio
AND i will always honor that tradition because without, them
there would be no talk radio as we know it,
now or podcasts or all the other affiliated ways that
(05:52):
you can get your, news your, information your. Talk and,
remember above any and all, things this is enter because
if it's not, entertaining you're not going to be.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
LISTENING i.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Guarantee but this is my homage TO wor Because i've
listened to Wr in, fact does anybody know is He
Where's Eric adams? Today what country is? He in his
tac pay his? Expense the man who got wind dined
in pocket, line The swagerman With No. Plan there was
a crooked mayor many years. Ago Bob hope actually played
(06:29):
him in the. Movie you should get that. Movie it's absolutely.
Incredible Bob hope did a magnificent job playing The swagerman
With No. Plan at that time with The flappers during
the time Of Speakeasy's Jimmy, walker he, had Like Eric,
adams about fifty customized suits and he had ladies.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Galore and H fdr was the.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Governor who wanted to run for president on The democratic,
line and he knew he had a problem Because Jimmy
walker was so hopelessly corrupt.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
With the guidance Of Tammany.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Hall and so he Tells Jimmy, walker you, Know i'm
gonna have to use the power of the governorship and fire,
you which a governor can.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Do governor can fire the.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Mayor And Jimmy walker understanding that his days were numbered
and THAT fdr needed to Get Jimmy walker out of

also explain how that kind of corruption could exist WHILE
fdr was the. Governor you know What Jimmy walker did
is he he took an ocean liner with one of his,
(07:34):

you listen to, me you're gonna learn. Stuff you're gonna
(07:54):
hear things that you probably wouldn't have heard from other
Than March simona. Himself more about radio than any other person.
Alive just to give you an, IDEA i sat With
Mark simone early on in the, campaign AFTER i had
announced for The republican, nomination with my very dear Friend
Paul carlucci Aka Johnny legit At nicolas for three. Hours
(08:15):
we sat. There they were gonna give me advice. Politically
we spoke for two and a half hours about. Radio
that's all we talked. About that's the love That Marx
simone has for. Radio poul Car, lucci who at the
time was the publisher of The New York. Post now
actually he had already left that, position he had, retired
and yours truly imagine two and a half hours all
(08:37):
we talked about was. Radio all we talked to because
that when you love, radio like so many of you,
do who listen to it, morning noon and, night you
understand what's good talk, radio and you understand what's bad talk.
RADIO i need you all to do me a, favor
though WHEN i run into you in the, streets WHICH
i do quite, often so many people in so many,
(08:59):
places do.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Not, please do not treat me like a.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Gavon do not tell, me, OH i voted for, you
because so far since the end of the campaign and
the announcement of the results That Zaron mandami would be
sworn in as mayor On january first of this. Year
everybody comes up to me and, SAYS i voted for,
you and, then being The weisenheimer THAN i, AM i
do a pivot in shift AND i, said oh, Really oh, yeah.

My family voted for you. Too where you're. From i'm From.
Scarsdale ha, ha did you do? That he couldn't vote for.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Mayor so don't tell me you voted for, me BECAUSE
i will have to end up embarrassing you sometimes in
front of family and friends because you're trying to pull
my chain and chew my. Shorts don't do. That IF
i had gotten every vote that people claimed that they
had cast on my, BEHALF i would have been the
(09:55):
mayor of the city Of.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Dugak so, please.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Let's get to the other key subject. Today give you
a little background information on what was a terrible loss
for The Republican party, nationally The Republican party in the
state Of New, york and The Republican party in The
city Of New, york where we are extraordinarily. Weak it,
says if we had been exposed to kryptonite by Mostly,
(10:24):
republicans never mind The, democrats by Mostly. Republicans they go
out of their way to damage the brand and to
damage their. Candidates you certainly saw that with.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Me, oh vote asle was a vote For, zoron vote For.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Como, Yeah? Como who did? That President Donald? Trump who did?
That Elon, musk who did? That the, billionaires the masters
of the universe spent twenty million dollars doing that in
the final weeks of the.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Campaign but put me. Aside we had a star in The.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Republican party who could Touch Elise. Stephanic do you not
remember when she was cross examining the presidents of The
Ivy league?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Schools do you not? Remember you?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Know it was two years, Ago, december two years, ago
one by. One first there was The harvard, President Claudine.
Gay she knocked her. Out Claudine gay resigned after being
cross examined By Elise. Stefani number two Was Elizabeth Magill
(11:40):
university Of. Pennsylvania knocked her. Out she resigned right after
that interrogation By Elis. Stefanic the only one who suffered
A tko at the hands Of Elis stefanic Was Sally
kornbluth OF. Mit she somehow held on and.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
What was it? About it was.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Simple all that Eleast stephonic asked them is would you
call would you suggest that calling for genocide Of jews
violated the code of conduct at your? University and they
all did the chicken dance and.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Said, well depends on whether this was.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Amazing it depends on whether your speech crossed into.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Action after, that they were dead on.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Arrival but that was the first of many cross examinations
to come from what everyone realized was the star of
The Republican, party, tough, smart, young think she's a millennial
that thinks she's like forty or forty, one gave up
(12:57):
a prestigious position as THE us ambassador to The United.
Nations she would have been a clone Of Gene. Kirkpatrick,
oh we have a lot to talk, about because there
were so many other situations that were taking place behind
the scenes that none of.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You are aware.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Of why, oh why you saying to, yourself would at
least The phonic have dropped out on this Late friday

(14:55):
Ten we're talking about h sephonic star of The Republican
party dropping out unexpected to sum On. Friday not to.
Me she was my most loyal supporter during the mayoral.
CAMPAIGN i can remember we were at The Union League.
(15:18):
Club it was in the, summer and she was speaking
to a group of people and she called me up
from the audience and she gave me the. Microphone midway
through her, speech she, said this is the guy That
i'm supporting For, Maya Curtis lee and nobody. Else and don't,
ever don't ever say he should be dropping. Out he's
The republican. CANDIDATE i, said to a last you really
(15:39):
want to.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Give me the?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Microphone you may never get it. Back she, said go for.
It she remained. Loyal she was a, woman a, character
and you may have remembered In september of twenty twenty
four the performance up on The hill when she Eviscerated
andrew Evilized, cromo That Coronavirus committee hearing in which she
(16:03):
said you will never be elected to anything ever. Again
and boy has she been so right on. That and
let's not forget all the other appearances she made at
the be hest of The Republican party for a very
Weak speaker of The House, johnson who is having problems
with female. Members that's become quite. Apparent and she gave
(16:28):
up the. Prize she was announced to be our NEXT
Un Ambassador United STATES Un ambassador boy shades Of Jeane,
kirkpatrick shades Of Adeleie. Stevenson the cameras would have been
there every time it would have been indicated that at
least a phonic in The General assembly or before The
(16:51):
Security council was speaking on behalf of our.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Nation but.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Because she is the ultimate team, player she gave up
that position so she could come back and be the
deciding vote For President Donald trump's. Legislation he needed that
vote because the margin in The house was so, slim
and it was anticipated that that favor would be returned
(17:16):
to her at some. Point and then when she announced
that she was running for the governorship on The republican,
line so Many, republicans myself, included was so. Happy he
got a superstar here fundraising. Machine she had twelve million
dollars that she had already, raised and The President Donald
(17:38):
trump realized that he had to clear out any competition
in a. Primary so he Convinced Congressman Mike lawler to bow,
out and he did, so and he cleared the. Field
but then things began to go. Arrived i'll never forget
this state for.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Me it was a day in.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Infamy november twenty, Feet Zoron mondami has been invited to
come to The White. House four Months President Donald trump
had been calling him The. Kami mandami had cast all
kinds of, aspersions talked about how he would move, in
he would run the city Of New. York he would
(18:17):
not give him an. Opportunity in, fact he was with
whole federal. Funds if the voters Elected Joran, mondami that
was a mistake because that just Strengthened Joron mondami because
it was Now david Versus. Goliath Joron mondami didn't have
to campaign Against Eric, adams didn't have to campaign Against Andrew,
cuomo didn't have to campaign against. Me he could campaign
(18:38):
Against Donald, trump who couldn't keep himself out of the.
Race and then all of a, sudden this love fest
that The White. House it was sort of Like barney.
TALK i love, you love, ME i tell you all
the times THAT i Watched barney that cartoon with my
sons growing. UP i wanted to pull a forty four
magnum ounta and Blow barney away on THE. TV i
(19:00):
Hated barney with a. Passion and there it Was Barney. Talk, Oh,
zorn you want to call me a, fascist go. Ahead
you're gonna be a great. Mayor in, fact you may
be the best mayor. Ever and, then all of a,
sudden towards the end of the one hour sit, down
the love fest That President Donald trump had Doing Barney
talk With Jorhan, MANDAMI i report her as Mister, president
(19:25):
do you agree With Congresswoman Elista fanic who Calls zorhangie.
Hottist in, fact they think her nickname was The Jihadis
souran Or Zoran.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Dotis and he could have sidestepped. That he did.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Not he's very good at side stepping questions and ignoring.
Questions but, no, no on this. One he threw at
least the fonic under the.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Bus he. GOES i disagree with.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Her in, fact he'll probably turn out to be the
greatest mayor Of New York. City he's a very reasonable. Guy,
hey you want to call me fascist?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Again go? Ahead zora throw it right under the.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bus, okay that was, bad.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
But the worst was just about ten days.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Ago he was asked at The White, house you, know
your Friend Bruce, blakeman who just won reelection as A
Nasau county executive as A, republican says he wants to
run for The republican. Nomination what do you make of? It,
OH i Like, ELISE i Like Bruce. Blakeman he never
bothered to try to Convince Bruce blakeman not to. Run
(20:35):
there's no doubt that's Why Alise stefani dropped. Out could
you have been any more loyal and a team player
Than Elise? Staphonic the answer is. No in, fact you
know what the campaign would have been if she went
into the. PRIMARY i guarantee you somewhere along the, line
a vote For Elise stafonic is a vote For Kathy
(20:58):
hocal vote For Bruce. BLAYE i guarantee you. That and
so now she'll serve out her term in The. House
she will not run for. Reelection she dropped. Out so
although she wasn't asked to drop, out wasn't that pretty
much the same? Thing come, on ladies and, GENTLEMEN i
know how many of you. Are come, on we can't
(21:20):
say anything bad About PRESIDENT.

to them and had such great relations with them for.
Speaker 2 (22:51):

his most loyal maga following at least The phonic was uber.
(31:05):
Maga could you have been any more loyal to the?
President any more of a team? Player stop drinking the kool.
Aid the problem of The Republican party is that depending

day he will side against The republican.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Now seventy ten wor
Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis Leewall
guest host the Mark Simone Show on sevent ten woor.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Doesn't get any better than this, be on this iconic
radio station where the call letters the only place I
know of in America, and I've been on most stations
from time to time, there's only three letters wor.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And I remember the time that I had to carry
all the items from Bob Grant to King of Talk
Radio from the studios of WABC where he had been
fired by Bob Iger of Disney. When Disney owned WABC
and other talk radio stations, why would they be in
the talk radio business.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It's controversial, but they were.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And nobody would help Bob Grant, who had helped so
many people at WABC. Nobody could touch Bob Grant, and
so I said, I'll bring it over, and I took
some of the hand trucks. I made trips back and
forth from WABC, which was the seventeenth four to two
Penn Plaza right by Madison Square Garden up to fourteen
(01:21):
forty Broadway, and everybody was amazed that I would do that.
They say, you know, if Bob Iger hears about this,
he'll fire you. You know what words I gave in
his direction, I say, are you kidding? Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
For this?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
A guy who put us on the map WABC, Bob Grant.
And by the way, just a little bit of information
in the past. In nineteen seventy seven, Barry Farba, the
Great Barry Farther, no longer with us, was the overnight
host here at WR. He had just run against Bella
Absick for Congress and had lost as a Conservative Republican.
(02:00):
And then he decided he was going to run for mayor,
as obviously I have twice. And in nineteen seventy seven
he was running against Ed Koch Mario Como. By the way, Andrew,
I knew your father, Mario. You know Mariocomo. He was
on the Liberal party line. There was Barry Farber on
(02:23):
the conservative line, and Roy Goodman, who was the Republican
state Senator of the Upper east Side, the heir to
the ex Lax fortune. He was a Rockefeller Liberal Republican.
They had twelve debates. Gaye Pressman was the moderated twelve debates,
and it was at Coach who won. I think Barry
(02:44):
Farber got four percent and Roy Goodman got about four percent.
It was coch and Mariocomo who split the rest of
the votes. But it was a great race to follow.
So Barry Farber had left. Bob Grant was the old
host at WOR that I listened to, and then later
(03:04):
on he was to return to WOR. As I had
mentioned when being fired by Bob Igar of Disney and
is he I had a substitute for him for the
first month. Uh, those fax machines didn't stop, you know,
it was like NonStop back then. The fax machine would
run you, Trader, why you there? Bob Grant is your mentor.
(03:29):
You wouldn't be on talk radio WABC without him. I said,
exactly right, But.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
This is the business we have chosen.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And if I got fired, Bob Grant would say, why,
I hope he lands on his feet, and I knew
he would. Those fax machines kept running twenty four seven
three six' five for like three straight weeks with the
most vile invectives that people could scratch out and write.
Out and then of course there Was Barry gray mid.
(04:01):
Mornings BUT i remember the personal situation Involving Barry, gray
who has missed a Second.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Amendment tough, guy but also.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
He was the leader of those that wanted to remove
the horse drawn carriages From Central, park WHICH i and
my Wife nancy were in favor, of and so many.
Others he was ahead of his. Time on the morning
Of june, nineteenth nineteen ninety, two on my way TO
wabc to do the morning Show angels in The morning
(04:30):
with my wife at the, Time lisa Now Lisa ever's
over At channel, FIVE i was shot five times with
hollow point bullets on the orders Of John Gotty senior
To John Gotti junior and The gambino crime. Family the
Guy Michael ianatti was the guy who shot me five.
Times he did twenty years for. That but the interesting thing,
(04:52):
is SINCE i was being rushed To Bellevue, hospital they
didn't know IF i would live or. Die lisa was
on her way, there and my producer at that, Time Mike,
thompson took over the, show and the first person to
call in that morning Was Verry, gray who had just
finished the, overnight said W, orr concerned about what had
(05:14):
happened to. Me weeks, later WHEN i came back on the,
air the first caller into the show was Very.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
GRAY i, mean these are the men.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And in some cases, Women like had Mentioned Arlene Francis
Lynn samuels over AT wabc eclectic as she. Was they
paved the way for all of us in talk, radio
AND i will always honor that tradition because without, them
there would be no talk radio as we know it,
now or podcasts or all the other affiliated ways that
(05:52):
you can get your, news your, information your. Talk and,
remember above any and all, things this is enter because
if it's not, entertaining you're not going to be.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
LISTENING i.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Guarantee but this is my homage TO wor Because i've
listened to Wr in, fact does anybody know is He
Where's Eric adams? Today what country is? He in his
tac pay his? Expense the man who got wind dined
in pocket, line The swagerman With No. Plan there was
a crooked mayor many years. Ago Bob hope actually played
(06:29):
him in the. Movie you should get that. Movie it's absolutely.
Incredible Bob hope did a magnificent job playing The swagerman
With No. Plan at that time with The flappers during
the time Of Speakeasy's Jimmy, walker he, had Like Eric,
adams about fifty customized suits and he had ladies.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Galore and H fdr was the.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Governor who wanted to run for president on The democratic,
line and he knew he had a problem Because Jimmy
walker was so hopelessly corrupt.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
With the guidance Of Tammany.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Hall and so he Tells Jimmy, walker you, Know i'm
gonna have to use the power of the governorship and fire,
you which a governor can.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Do governor can fire the.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Mayor And Jimmy walker understanding that his days were numbered
and THAT fdr needed to Get Jimmy walker out of
here so he could run for president without having to
also explain how that kind of corruption could exist WHILE
fdr was the. Governor you know What Jimmy walker did
is he he took an ocean liner with one of his,
(07:34):
gumadas one of his many, females went To, paris lived
there for about ten, years came back in the early,
forties and you know what his first job back was
a talk show host here AT. Wor you, see when
you listen to, me you're gonna learn. Stuff you're gonna
(07:54):
hear things that you probably wouldn't have heard from other
Than March simona. Himself more about radio than any other person.
Alive just to give you an, IDEA i sat With
Mark simone early on in the, campaign AFTER i had
announced for The republican, nomination with my very dear Friend
Paul carlucci Aka Johnny legit At nicolas for three. Hours
(08:15):
we sat. There they were gonna give me advice. Politically
we spoke for two and a half hours about. Radio
that's all we talked. About that's the love That Marx
simone has for. Radio poul Car, lucci who at the
time was the publisher of The New York. Post now
actually he had already left that, position he had, retired
and yours truly imagine two and a half hours all
(08:37):
we talked about was. Radio all we talked to because
that when you love, radio like so many of you,
do who listen to it, morning noon and, night you
understand what's good talk, radio and you understand what's bad talk.
RADIO i need you all to do me a, favor
though WHEN i run into you in the, streets WHICH
i do quite, often so many people in so many,
(08:59):
places do.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Not, please do not treat me like a.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Gavon do not tell, me, OH i voted for, you
because so far since the end of the campaign and
the announcement of the results That Zaron mandami would be
sworn in as mayor On january first of this. Year
everybody comes up to me and, SAYS i voted for,
you and, then being The weisenheimer THAN i, AM i
do a pivot in shift AND i, said oh, Really oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
My family voted for you. Too where you're. From i'm From.
Scarsdale ha, ha did you do? That he couldn't vote for.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Mayor so don't tell me you voted for, me BECAUSE
i will have to end up embarrassing you sometimes in
front of family and friends because you're trying to pull
my chain and chew my. Shorts don't do. That IF
i had gotten every vote that people claimed that they
had cast on my, BEHALF i would have been the
(09:55):
mayor of the city Of.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Dugak so, please.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Let's get to the other key subject. Today give you
a little background information on what was a terrible loss
for The Republican party, nationally The Republican party in the
state Of New, york and The Republican party in The
city Of New, york where we are extraordinarily. Weak it,
says if we had been exposed to kryptonite by Mostly,
(10:24):
republicans never mind The, democrats by Mostly. Republicans they go
out of their way to damage the brand and to
damage their. Candidates you certainly saw that with.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Me, oh vote asle was a vote For, zoron vote For.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Como, Yeah? Como who did? That President Donald? Trump who did?
That Elon, musk who did? That the, billionaires the masters
of the universe spent twenty million dollars doing that in
the final weeks of the.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Campaign but put me. Aside we had a star in The.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Republican party who could Touch Elise. Stephanic do you not
remember when she was cross examining the presidents of The
Ivy league?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Schools do you not? Remember you?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Know it was two years, Ago, december two years, ago
one by. One first there was The harvard, President Claudine.
Gay she knocked her. Out Claudine gay resigned after being
cross examined By Elise. Stefani number two Was Elizabeth Magill
(11:40):
university Of. Pennsylvania knocked her. Out she resigned right after
that interrogation By Elis. Stefanic the only one who suffered
A tko at the hands Of Elis stefanic Was Sally
kornbluth OF. Mit she somehow held on and.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
What was it? About it was.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Simple all that Eleast stephonic asked them is would you
call would you suggest that calling for genocide Of jews
violated the code of conduct at your? University and they
all did the chicken dance and.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Said, well depends on whether this was.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Amazing it depends on whether your speech crossed into.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Action after, that they were dead on.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Arrival but that was the first of many cross examinations
to come from what everyone realized was the star of
The Republican, party, tough, smart, young think she's a millennial
that thinks she's like forty or forty, one gave up
(12:57):
a prestigious position as THE us ambassador to The United.
Nations she would have been a clone Of Gene. Kirkpatrick,
oh we have a lot to talk, about because there
were so many other situations that were taking place behind
the scenes that none of.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You are aware.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Of why, oh why you saying to, yourself would at
least The phonic have dropped out on this Late friday

party dropping out unexpected to sum On. Friday not to.
Me she was my most loyal supporter during the mayoral.
CAMPAIGN i can remember we were at The Union League.
(15:18):
Club it was in the, summer and she was speaking
to a group of people and she called me up
from the audience and she gave me the. Microphone midway
through her, speech she, said this is the guy That
i'm supporting For, Maya Curtis lee and nobody. Else and don't,
ever don't ever say he should be dropping. Out he's
The republican. CANDIDATE i, said to a last you really
(15:39):
want to.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Give me the?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Microphone you may never get it. Back she, said go for.
It she remained. Loyal she was a, woman a, character
and you may have remembered In september of twenty twenty
four the performance up on The hill when she Eviscerated
andrew Evilized, cromo That Coronavirus committee hearing in which she
(16:03):
said you will never be elected to anything ever. Again
and boy has she been so right on. That and
let's not forget all the other appearances she made at
the be hest of The Republican party for a very
Weak speaker of The House, johnson who is having problems
with female. Members that's become quite. Apparent and she gave
(16:28):
up the. Prize she was announced to be our NEXT
Un Ambassador United STATES Un ambassador boy shades Of Jeane,
kirkpatrick shades Of Adeleie. Stevenson the cameras would have been
there every time it would have been indicated that at
least a phonic in The General assembly or before The
(16:51):
Security council was speaking on behalf of our.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Nation but.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Because she is the ultimate team, player she gave up
that position so she could come back and be the
deciding vote For President Donald trump's. Legislation he needed that
vote because the margin in The house was so, slim
and it was anticipated that that favor would be returned
(17:16):
to her at some. Point and then when she announced
that she was running for the governorship on The republican,
line so Many, republicans myself, included was so. Happy he
got a superstar here fundraising. Machine she had twelve million
dollars that she had already, raised and The President Donald
(17:38):
trump realized that he had to clear out any competition
in a. Primary so he Convinced Congressman Mike lawler to bow,
out and he did, so and he cleared the. Field
but then things began to go. Arrived i'll never forget
this state for.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Me it was a day in.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Infamy november twenty, Feet Zoron mondami has been invited to
come to The White. House four Months President Donald trump
had been calling him The. Kami mandami had cast all
kinds of, aspersions talked about how he would move, in
he would run the city Of New. York he would
(18:17):
not give him an. Opportunity in, fact he was with
whole federal. Funds if the voters Elected Joran, mondami that
was a mistake because that just Strengthened Joron mondami because
it was Now david Versus. Goliath Joron mondami didn't have
to campaign Against Eric, adams didn't have to campaign Against Andrew,
cuomo didn't have to campaign against. Me he could campaign
(18:38):
Against Donald, trump who couldn't keep himself out of the.
Race and then all of a, sudden this love fest
that The White. House it was sort of Like barney.
TALK i love, you love, ME i tell you all
the times THAT i Watched barney that cartoon with my
sons growing. UP i wanted to pull a forty four
magnum ounta and Blow barney away on THE. TV i
(19:00):
Hated barney with a. Passion and there it Was Barney. Talk, Oh,
zorn you want to call me a, fascist go. Ahead
you're gonna be a great. Mayor in, fact you may
be the best mayor. Ever and, then all of a,
sudden towards the end of the one hour sit, down
the love fest That President Donald trump had Doing Barney
talk With Jorhan, MANDAMI i report her as Mister, president
(19:25):
do you agree With Congresswoman Elista fanic who Calls zorhangie.
Hottist in, fact they think her nickname was The Jihadis
souran Or Zoran.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Dotis and he could have sidestepped. That he did.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Not he's very good at side stepping questions and ignoring.
Questions but, no, no on this. One he threw at
least the fonic under the.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Bus he. GOES i disagree with.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Her in, fact he'll probably turn out to be the
greatest mayor Of New York. City he's a very reasonable. Guy,
hey you want to call me fascist?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Again go? Ahead zora throw it right under the.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bus, okay that was, bad.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
But the worst was just about ten days.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Ago he was asked at The White, house you, know
your Friend Bruce, blakeman who just won reelection as A
Nasau county executive as A, republican says he wants to
run for The republican. Nomination what do you make of? It,
OH i Like, ELISE i Like Bruce. Blakeman he never
bothered to try to Convince Bruce blakeman not to. Run
(20:35):
there's no doubt that's Why Alise stefani dropped. Out could
you have been any more loyal and a team player
Than Elise? Staphonic the answer is. No in, fact you
know what the campaign would have been if she went
into the. PRIMARY i guarantee you somewhere along the, line
a vote For Elise stafonic is a vote For Kathy
(20:58):
hocal vote For Bruce. BLAYE i guarantee you. That and
so now she'll serve out her term in The. House
she will not run for. Reelection she dropped. Out so
although she wasn't asked to drop, out wasn't that pretty
much the same? Thing come, on ladies and, GENTLEMEN i
know how many of you. Are come, on we can't
(21:20):
say anything bad About PRESIDENT.
