Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis lee
Wall guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WOO.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is the place that you should be all the
time to get your talk radio information, news, and most
importantly entertainment, because that's what talk radio should be. If
it's good talk radio. If it's not entertaining, wow, see
you later. And that's uh. Those are your options. Nowadays
(00:39):
you have so many options to be able to listen,
to look at read, many many more than when we
were all growing up. I remember in the wee hours
of the morning, I would be listening to a little
Sony transistor radio underneath the pillow in my room in
Canarsi being raised by my father, Chester merchant symen close
(01:03):
to fifty years my mother Francesca, dental technician, and they
would sort of patrol the area. I wonder if I
was listening, remember the smell from that Sony transistor radio.
I'd be listening to Long John Neville and Candy Jones.
Oh hey had me believing that Candy Jones was a
(01:24):
CIA agent. And you could actually dig a hole all
away from Bayone, New Jersey, the gateway to the world,
down to peeking red China there Malchi tongue. They actually
had you believe in that. That's great. Theodore of the Mind.
Now person I never listened to, but was a fixture
here of you off for years, Gene Shepherd. A lot
(01:45):
of people said over the years, Wow, got a lot
of Gene Shepherd in you. You could take sort of
a story and build a narrative around it and sort
of transition us almost in a time machine to a date,
place and time different than now. And once I listened
(02:06):
to a few of the old tapes, boy, that was
a real great compliment. And that was overnight radio. Good.
Overnight radio is theater of the mind. Lousy overnight radio
as if you try to do normal talk radio and
it falls flat. One of the things I remember talking
about when I did late night radio at the dysfunctional
(02:30):
station of WABC, which used to be always broadcasting Curtis.
Now it's always blaming and always bashing Curtis well Is.
Remember when Scooi Louis Farrakhon came on with it couple
take a couple of nightline. I was talking about the
mothership connection that was circling the world and how many
(02:52):
little jet planes would be emerged and what we clearly
understood and just listening to his Zya tribe. This guy,
that's why I call him School Louis Hurrican and yet
he's had his followers over the years and now even
though he has somehow survived till ninety two, and you
(03:15):
don't want to miss it, I'm gonna tell you a
story where the Grim Reaper could have took him away
and should have in a much earlier time, because, believe
it or not, even at the age of ninety two,
the bile, the anti Semitism continues to pour from his lips.
You know, he's the old school anti Semite. The new Jack,
(03:38):
I guess is Nazi boy. I think he fontes right,
that's the new Jack. But old school O g right, O.
GI Fairy can't. But it's now a litmus tests And
I truly believe if you did a survey in the
African American community of the most respected black African American
figure in America today, first, without a doubt, at Barack
(04:01):
Obama talk about being a smooth operator, like the Shade
song smooth. In fact, if I think if he ran
against Donald Trump, he'd beat Donald Trump nationally, that's how
much love there is for Barack Obama. I mean he
was good.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You know who would come out number two? No, not
not out slim shady, sharpman, No, it would be Lewis Farakhun. Yes,
the legacy of hate continues. It's almost like a litmus test.
I know for a lot of you, you don't follow
(04:39):
the world of rap, but I certainly have. And you
look on the Instagram pages of some of the big
time rappers. Some of them have gone mainstream, some of
them who are doing cartoons, some of them who are
promoting Fortune five hundred products. Some of them who have
escaped going to jail themselves, like Snoop Doggie Dog who
(05:01):
did a drive by shooting in Los Angeles and a
jury all of a sudden said, uh, seeming to suffer
a little dementia, a little Alzheimer's. See, I can't quite
connect the dots. Well. He has gone on to become
a superstar in Hollywood, even though he does puff puff
(05:22):
pass all the time. I mean he's in a let's
face it a drug induce psychosis. This guy love Farra
can still does right Instagram. There's Snoop Dogg with Farakhn
llll cool Jay Right mainstream artist TV shows there he
is the Fhara Khannas. She broke my heart when I
(05:44):
saw Chaka Khan, Chaka Chaka Chakka Cohn performing for Scooy
Louis Farakhan. Oh, you go right on down the line.
Kendrick Lamar was it ice Qbiced, t Ice, trave and
l ice. One of the ice is there. They're all
fat Joe. It's almost like an insistence. And when you
go to the Instagram site, you got to be a
(06:05):
picture somewhere of the most virulent anti Semite that is
approaching one hundred years old. Soon they'll probably live to
them because of all the hate and the bile that
he has. Ninety two still kicking it. Oh, you know,
want to miss the story of how the grim Reaper
could have taken him away, but unfortunately he survived for
(06:28):
another hateful day. Well, now the Anti Defamation League, they're
vetting out people who have been appointed to incoming mayors.
Are on Mondamini's transitional team. One of them is a
lawyer who has a history of praising and associating with
Friar Kine, and the question is should that exclude him
(06:50):
from consideration. I don't fault the ADL for vetting these appointees.
That's what transparency is, that's what should be taking place,
especially when we just went through the anniversary of the
Dreyfus affair. We're the French captain now, for Dreyfus was
(07:13):
wrongfully convicted of passing military secrets to the Germans, sentence
to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and it turned out
it was the result of severe anti Semitism. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, and the term is Jacque's. In fact, I
(07:38):
think that pedophile on a pedestal. Roman Polanski did a
movie about this. I think so after he escaped to Paris.
In fact, little brief side the bar here, I was
named the Grand Marshal of the annual Pulaski Day parade
for Polish Americans. Fifth Avenue. You go to the mass
(08:01):
first at Tank Patrick's Cathedral. I'm coming out with the
tucks and tails and I red beret and a tourist
bus pulls up from San Diego, where I've had guardian
angels down in Balboa Park, the gas Light district over
in southeast San Diego, some relatively tough areas. People get
off to the bus they're gonna go on to Saint
(08:22):
Patrick's Cathedral. They recognize me, they come running up, Curtis,
I didn't know that Polish Americans have a parade to
honor Roman Polanski. No, it's Pulaski. General Pulaski well not
only went into the Deep South and fought regular British
troops in the American Revolution, but they actually have this
(08:45):
huge tomb in statue to him in Savannah, Georgia. You
go throughout the South where I've been Arkansas, you go
to Georgia, you go to Tennessee, they have Pulaski County.
They don't even teach the kids in the schools why
the county was named after Pulaski. In fact, they unearthed
his tomb recently because they said he was a harmaphrodite.
(09:09):
You know what that is is he look it up?
Look it up, go google it. Why would you take
the guy's body out? He was one of the reasons
we won the American Revolution. As we approach our two
hundred and fifty anniversary this coming year, onearthed his body
try to determine if he was a harmaphrodite. Uh. And
(09:31):
then of course it was kaysjewsco not Casiasco, General Kyjewsko,
who helped George Washington and convinced him the West Point
should become the college for not just the United States military,
but for engineering, against the will of Thomas Jefferson, the
fellow Virginian of George Washington, who wanted that to be VMI. Yep,
(09:55):
cause jewsto they don't teach you that in school. But anyway,
I mean, there were as people were thinking getting off
of that tour bus from San Diego, that that parade,
the annual Pulaski Day parade, was not in honor of
General Pulaski and in honor of Roman Polanski. So the
Dreyfish affair, which was based on the Protocols of the
(10:18):
Elders of Zion, which was circulated by the Czar of
Russia and fed anti Semitism, which has been a problem
for so many decades and has reared its ugly head
up again as it always does. But the one fixture
of anti Semitism that has been around forever and ever
(10:39):
is screwy Louis Farak, and so coming up, got to
discuss a little bit about Eric Adams Swagerman with no plan,
who's been traveling around the world at taxpayer's expense. What
was he in Israel? Uzbekistan? He probably can't even find
Uzbekistan on a map. Then recently in Mexico. And we're
(11:00):
paying for all this stuff, right, we're paying for this.
This guy was hopelessly corrupt. Should have been actually put
in jail, put on trial for corruption. I know all
about it. And you remember, you remember is the piece
in the monopoly game that we all hoped that we
(11:21):
would get under the Christmas tree as a president from
Santy Claus, remember missed the monopoly in his tuxedo as
he flies out of an open bird cage. That was
the corrupt Eric Adams at that annual Alsmith didn't remember
which Trump suggested openly for the first time that he
(11:45):
was a victim of law fare, the over extending reach
of Joe Biden's Department of Justice, instead of not realizing
as anybody else would, that he got wooted out a
prison cell which he would have shared with gold bars
Bobby Menendez the center of New Jersey in his striped
(12:07):
convict uniform instead, and now he's acting like he did
nothing wrong. It's interesting. Three key figures on the political scene.
Eric Adams with Discraciada never did anything wrong, andrewis Eliscomo
never did anything wrong. Donald Trump never did anything well,
(12:29):
they never did anything wrong. They're the perfect people. Everything
was perfect, perfect, except that's not the case. And I
was amazed that last week. I guess he took a
pit stop here, you know, and being mayor, he decided
to bury a time capsule to be dug up in
ten years, as if anything that went on in his
(12:52):
corrupt and chaotic administration which led to the election of
Zorhan Mandami should be put in a capsule and buried
and then brought up in ten years for everybody to
take a look at. And I would say the first
thing was probably a wad of cash in a red
envelope stuffed inside of an open bag of hers sour
(13:16):
cream and onion ripple potato chips that his very dear
grifter and bag lady. Oh my god, Oh she was
so bad, this woman in attempting to bribe Katie honan
of the city. Oh man, it's like he's trying to
(13:42):
reinvent history. But his love affair with Fhara Khan goes
back quite a bit. In fact, in the nineties he
decided that he would run for Congress against Major Owens
because Major Owens, along with David Dinkins and Maya said
no and should not speak in New York. And at
(14:03):
that time Eric Adams took money from the Nation of Islam,
had Nation of Islam members collecting signatures to qualify him
to run, and was endorsed by Skooy Louis Fara Khan
and used to hang out with his very dear friend
Conrad Muhammad at the Nation of Islam mosque in Harlem. Now,
(14:25):
people didn't want to talk about that in the election
of twenty twenty one. They basically took the etcher sketch out.
And have you ever asked Eric Adams about Scooy Louis Farakh.
He would sidestep that issue. Look, he's not an anti Semite,
Eric Adams, There's no doubt about it. But he did
(14:45):
have a major love affair with Scooy Louis Farakh. That's
well noted. But people didn't want to talk about it then.
So the question is any kind of relationship that you
had or you have with Skooy Louis Farrick Canada, Nation
of Islam, should that immediately disqualify you from having anything
to do with the government. The boy. A lot of
(15:09):
people in government will now have to recuse themselves and
may have to look for a different occupation. Our numbers
one eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten.
That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
On this your place to be from now on sevent
ten WR, The Pulse.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Of New York On the Voice of New York, Curtis
Sleiewald Guess hosts for Marx them on sevent ten WR.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I have a suggestion for the outgoing Eric Adams Swagerman
with no plan got wine dying the pocket line, so
that Bob Barker remember the price is right. He got
his price and then he dropped out of the mayoral
race in September, and he's been moaning and groaning ever
since and traveling around the world at taxpayer's expense. Apparently
(16:10):
he's meeting with Kathy Hockel today. Maybe Kathy Hochel can
do for him what was done for the one hundredth
mayor of New York City a long time ago. I
think it was actually in nineteen fifty for William O'Dwyer.
(16:33):
He was the one hundredth Mayor of New York City corrupt.
When he had been Brooklyn DA from nineteen forty to
nineteen forty five, he was in the back pocket a
Murder Incorporated, the Jewish mob run by lepk and the
Italian faction of Albert Anastasia and quick Kid twist Rellis,
(16:55):
who was a hit man if you looked at his
LinkedIn page at the time, wht's what is your rocket patient?
Hitman for Murder Incorporated, which was out of Brownsville, and
he decided to be a rat eat the parmesan chief.
So they were housing him at the Half Moon Hotel
in Coney Island, sixth floor six detectives from William Old
Dwyer's DA's office in Brooklyn, and suddenly Albert Twistdrellers proved
(17:21):
that men could not fly because somehow he fell or
was pushed out of that sixth floor window. He had
already testified against six members of Murder Incorporated, all of
whom got the juice in their caboose in sing sing
old sparky Jews and Italians, and then the last one
(17:41):
he was going to testify against was Albert Anastasia. Well,
he never made it to the witness stand, and so
this all came back to haunt William Oldwyer as mayor.
They were going to indict him, convict him, when all
of a sudden the phone rang from the White House.
Was President Truman at that time. He said, you know,
(18:02):
we're desperately in need of a US ambassador to Mexico, desperate,
and I want you to leave being mayor. We're gonna
give you a ticket tape parade to the Kenyon of Heroes. Yeah,
ticker tape parade for this crook. And he went on
to become the ambassador to Mexico eventually to come back
(18:25):
and help put together the first Israel Day Parade, which
there's a question as to whether Zorahanmandami will participate as
mayor we know that ain't happening, or if he would
cancel it. I don't think he'll do that, but that's
for another day. Maybe what should have been done when
(18:46):
Kathy Hokl had Eric Adams on the ropes, Remember she
could have fired him. A governor has the right to
fire a may an. O. It's never been done before close,
but they didn't quite do it, and she could have
fired him, but he held on basically did whatever she asked. Yes, ma'am,
Yes ma'am, Yes ma'am. Now you remember Tom Holman when
(19:09):
Eric Adams was singing sitting on that sofa there at
Fox and Friends in the morning, and Tom Holman is
talking to the crew there and he says, Eric Adams
on National TV, and if I come back here, Eric
and I find out the NYPD is not working with ICE,
I will put my boot up your butt. And Eric
(19:32):
Adams proud, righteous, your old Asiatic black man, right, didn't
even blink. I have seen that video over and over
every time I go into an African American community, they said,
could you believe what the brother did here? He didn't
even object to that. He didn't even turn to Tom
Holman and say, don't use that language towards me, because
(19:54):
he knew they had him by the short hairs. That
the only reason he got that get out of jail
pass was because he promised to cooperate with ICE, even
though the sanctuary city laws here in New York City,
which I opposed, say that you cannot. But he was
(20:21):
looking there and he will never ever overcome that in
the African American community because he had sold them Wolf tickets.
You know, at some point I got to discuss Atlantic
City now that we have the three casinos, including the
(20:42):
Resorts World that got one of them, Thessino there, remember
Yonkers at the track got it there. They decided they
didn't want to go for the full license. Three two
in Queens, one in the Bronx, and talk about how
that may be the last. Now in the coffin for
Atlantic City, which is a place that Eric Adams could
have easily been the mayor of since so many of
(21:04):
them have been indicted five since nineteen eighty one, including
the most recent one Marty Smalls Junior for voter fraud.
Hoh shocking. Oh, you don't want to go anywhere. Oh,
by the way, I did promise you we will go
to the phone so your voice could be heard at
your newfound station for some your old friend seven ten
(21:26):
wor are numbers one eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. That's one eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The voice that fights for New York. Literally Curtis Leewah,
guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Woor has promised, it's your turn to be heard here.
And when I'm hoping so many of you will turn
to seven to ten WOR for all your talk radio
content as I have. Let's go to if we can't, Mike,
Who's calling from Long Island? Your turn to be heard
(22:05):
here at seven ten wor.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Mikey, Hey, Curtis, how you're doing. It's great to hear
you back on the radio. I'm an old Khanassie boy
had a store on Avenue Well in Kanasi. I'm pretty
sure you used to shop there many years ago. My
wife and I started it. It's about fifty years ago
we started it, and I remember how you used to
help that community when mister Shopton had his march down
(22:30):
Avenue Well and prisce Realty was doing all of his things.
And listen, I just want to tell you I thank
you for everything you've done in the past, and how
certain people were promoting Crolo to be a mayor with
his background. He's a criminal. Politics is a dirty business. Unfortunately,
you were trying to do the right thing. And even
(22:53):
though my vote wouldn't count, I did contribute to your
running for election. And you're a brooklynman and everything you've
done be proud of. And I'm proud to know that
you're from a neighborhood I grew up there.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
We'll let me tell you. Canarsi ail roads lead to
Kanarsie the good and I might add the bad. Give
me an idea Avenue L best Pizza Paula, the original
pizza of Avenue L still there. Cross Street is Channel twelve.
The news outlet used to be like a bull hack
a wall bomb supermarket no more. And got to tell
(23:28):
you they were the little Casey's on one side of
Avenue L. The Gambinos on the other side. They used
to have to run the gauntlet and the Avenue L
boys who were total degenerates. But I survived that. It
was like running through an Apache line from time to
time because I would not avoid going down Avenue L. Oh. Yeah,
(23:52):
Andrew evilized como. How many of them are out there?
And they keep You know, these bots, they're like like
the wave of drones. They get used in the war
between Russia and the Ukraine. Right, they come in pots, spots, spots,
and so you split the vote in the New York
(24:12):
Mayor's race to guarantee that more crime could happen, Right, Curtis,
you took money from Zorhan, you know, and you could
tell where they're being generated from countries all over the world,
and they come in and waves waves, And it all
started with Cuomo and their supporters of Cromo. By the way,
where is he? Oh yeah, he probably slit it under
(24:32):
his rock in the Hampton's hanging out with all of
his billionaire friends, the influencers, the insiders. They got him nowhere.
Maybe he should run for mayor of Southampton, since he
spent all of his time in Southampton. Let's go if
we can to ann who's calling from Staten Island? Your
turn to be heard here on seven ten wr ann, Well,
(24:58):
let's see.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I'm my sister, and Merry Christmas to you and your
sweet wife who we met. Well, they met at a
fundraiser at the Belvedere with a Feel and we gave
to your campaign. We miss you. Greg Kelly's unhinged. You
should sue the station the slander because you're excellent and
you should be the mayor. And we're heartbroken for you,
(25:21):
but you know what you do so much good. I
wish your good health and happiness and financy. I missed her.
Animal show ABC should go down the tubes and I
have been listening now a few months to Oh. I
used to listen to Handity too, and I'm back with them.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I enjoy them.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
And Greg Kelly's a total disgrace. I think he's nuts.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, he is a little bots, a little titched, but
you know, he is doing what free speech allows you
to do in America. He has a right to do that.
Men have died in battle for us to have free
speech and also to be able to vote, which two million,
(26:03):
one hundred thousand people did in this last mayoral campaign,
a record that hadn't been seen since nineteen sixty five,
since I was all of eleven years old. And so
unfortunately John Lindsey get elected mayor of the City of
New York. By the way, I'm pretty sure don't we
have here w Or the dog Smart radio show? Don't
(26:27):
we have that? I think a w Or? I mean
used to be on the weekends here Wor you would
have all the shows that were talking about gardening, talking
about finance, investments, retirement animals. I mean, that was a
fixture that I would listen to. Bernie Meltzer. Oh yeah,
(26:49):
oh wow, what a following he had, Old Bernie. But no,
ant is right. Best thing they ever happened in my
life was when I met Nancy. We got married, and boy,
she is an animal rescuer. Like so many of the
listeners here, a wr are throughout the Tri State area
(27:11):
and throughout the country, and without her, I could not
have survived many many ordeals. I owe everything that I
am or I have at this point in my life
to my beautiful wife, Nancy, And they don't get any
better than that. You know, as Mahatma Gandhi said, is
society that takes care of its animals will take care
(27:33):
of its people. But a society that does not take
care of its animals will not take care of its people.
And that's exactly what we have in New York City.
As I began the show telling you about the year
anniversary of the horrible, horrific death of Dobrina Kawama at
the subway station in Coney Island on the F train
when she was set up into a human torch, and
(27:57):
how a year later they won't even say her name
because they don't even remember her name. Well, we did
that yesterday and I want to aploy wor Natalie in
the morning for introducing that in the news the New
York Posts for covering it, but many people out there
just have no idea what happened. Let's go to Sergio,
(28:20):
who's calling from New Jersey. Your turn to be heard
here at seven to ten WOA Sergio.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Hi, Curtis. I was wondering if you can elaborate on
Bob Grant one time. Apparently he took some tile expensive
towels on the studio and you had to go and
mediate for him to bring him back.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I'll let me correct you. The king of talk radio,
Bob Grant, who is my mentors the reason that I'm
in talk radio because when I was first on the
air at the old WABC, they didn't want to have
me on the air, and he said, you gotta have
Curtis on the air because he knows where all the
bones buried and who buried them. And he had the
force in the talk radio world at that time that
(29:05):
his wish basically became the command of the suits, the
big markers. But he was a kleptomaniac in many many ways,
no doubt about it. I think you're conflating two separate stories.
But let me tell you the best one that I
was personally involved in. He was given a loaner Cadillac
back then, in order to promote somebody purchasing a new
(29:29):
car used car, they have a new fangled expression now
pre owned car. You know, for used cars. They would
give you a loaner car. And Bob Grant, I think
it was in Englewood, was promoting Cadillacs from Englewood. Everybody
back then they wanted to the El Dorado, they wanted
the Fleetwood, the Seville. He had a car and his
driver would take him back and forth to Manalapan on
(29:52):
The Jersey Show where he was living, and you have
to give it back after a certain point of time.
And the program director of the Joe Manelli, was intimidated
by Bob, as he could intimidate many, and Bob wouldn't
give the Cadillac back. So John Minelli said, he's your friend.
Go in there and tell them there are new rules
(30:12):
in the business. You can't schnore like a lot of
radio people did, both AM and FM four years schnore
free stuff. It's called pay for play, and we could
get in trouble. So I said, I got it, John.
I went in there. It took me maybe an hour
and a half to convince the King of talk radio
Bob Grant, responsible for my career, to give me the
(30:34):
keys and that we would get it back to the
Cadillac dealership before they would report that to the FCC
to be in violation of pay for play. But man,
it was not easy. It's Bob Grant back then, the
king of talk radio. Thought. I'm entitled to the treasures
(30:55):
like so many others. And if you listen to me
up until January second, as I substitute for or Mark Simone,
You're gonna hear a lot of other stories you had
no idea about that I want to share with you
about this thing of ours, talk radio, because this is
the business that we have chosen.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Now more with New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis Leewah
guest hosting from Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Woo you know, yes it is. I was leaving the
studios here day number one of my substitution for Mark
Simon till January tewcond and oh, I got a lot
of other great stories to share with all of you,
and that's why you got to listen every day or
get it on the podcast. But I heard the voice
(31:46):
of Brett Winterble, who's substituting up next for the boys.
I said, that's Bretton Winterble, that's Boy Limbaugh. He used
to be the phone screener for the Great Rush Limbaugh.
We used to share facilities at the old WABC seventeen
to Flour High above Madison Square Garden. And Brett was great,
(32:08):
always wanted to be in talk radio. And he used
to live in Morris Park in the Bronx. Take the
two of the five chain up there, say really Bretton, Yeah, yeah,
live up here. Family up there, extended family. And he's
gone on to become a great talk show host in Charlotte,
where they had like two attacks on their light rail system.
(32:29):
Two not one the one you knew about the Ukrainian
immigrant woman, no no, no, no two another recent one. I
think it was an illegal alien. And he's urged me
to bring the Guardian Angels down to Charlotte, which I
think I'm gonna have to do it. All the Yankees
who were fleeing down there. Everybody from up north in
our area was moving down to that area. Unfortunately, the
crime is skyrocketing. But he's a great town and there's
(32:54):
been a lot of young upcoming talk radio show hosts
and hostesses who've unfortunately not had that opportunity. But I
think you're going to enjoy bread. And there's another guy
out there, the liberty loving Latino Rich Valdez, who actually
was the only one to listen to me for four
(33:14):
years that I wasted in my life over at AM
ninety seventy. The answer when I think Rich Valdez was
the only one who listened to me. I did morning
drive and afternoon Drive and now substituting at WOOR where
my radio life began back when Arlene Francis, the midday hostess,
(33:34):
interviewed me as the newspaper Boy of the Year in
nineteen seventy one. I've had the bug ever since. And boy,
I hope you'll be listening tomorrow or Christmas Eve extravaganza
coming up, and stay with me until January second, because
I got a lot of radio talk radio gifts to
(33:55):
leave for all of you under the Christmas tree.
Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis lee
Wall guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WOO.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is the place that you should be all the
time to get your talk radio information, news, and most
importantly entertainment, because that's what talk radio should be. If
it's good talk radio. If it's not entertaining, wow, see
you later. And that's uh. Those are your options. Nowadays
(00:39):
you have so many options to be able to listen,
to look at read, many many more than when we
were all growing up. I remember in the wee hours
of the morning, I would be listening to a little
Sony transistor radio underneath the pillow in my room in
Canarsi being raised by my father, Chester merchant symen close
(01:03):
to fifty years my mother Francesca, dental technician, and they
would sort of patrol the area. I wonder if I
was listening, remember the smell from that Sony transistor radio.
I'd be listening to Long John Neville and Candy Jones.
Oh hey had me believing that Candy Jones was a
(01:24):
CIA agent. And you could actually dig a hole all
away from Bayone, New Jersey, the gateway to the world,
down to peeking red China there Malchi tongue. They actually
had you believe in that. That's great. Theodore of the Mind.
Now person I never listened to, but was a fixture
here of you off for years, Gene Shepherd. A lot
(01:45):
of people said over the years, Wow, got a lot
of Gene Shepherd in you. You could take sort of
a story and build a narrative around it and sort
of transition us almost in a time machine to a date,
place and time different than now. And once I listened
(02:06):
to a few of the old tapes, boy, that was
a real great compliment. And that was overnight radio. Good.
Overnight radio is theater of the mind. Lousy overnight radio
as if you try to do normal talk radio and
it falls flat. One of the things I remember talking
about when I did late night radio at the dysfunctional
(02:30):
station of WABC, which used to be always broadcasting Curtis.
Now it's always blaming and always bashing Curtis well Is.
Remember when Scooi Louis Farrakhon came on with it couple
take a couple of nightline. I was talking about the
mothership connection that was circling the world and how many
(02:52):
little jet planes would be emerged and what we clearly
understood and just listening to his Zya tribe. This guy,
that's why I call him School Louis Hurrican and yet
he's had his followers over the years and now even
though he has somehow survived till ninety two, and you
(03:15):
don't want to miss it, I'm gonna tell you a
story where the Grim Reaper could have took him away
and should have in a much earlier time, because, believe
it or not, even at the age of ninety two,
the bile, the anti Semitism continues to pour from his lips.
You know, he's the old school anti Semite. The new Jack,
(03:38):
I guess is Nazi boy. I think he fontes right,
that's the new Jack. But old school O g right, O.
GI Fairy can't. But it's now a litmus tests And
I truly believe if you did a survey in the
African American community of the most respected black African American
figure in America today, first, without a doubt, at Barack
(04:01):
Obama talk about being a smooth operator, like the Shade
song smooth. In fact, if I think if he ran
against Donald Trump, he'd beat Donald Trump nationally, that's how
much love there is for Barack Obama. I mean he
was good.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You know who would come out number two? No, not
not out slim shady, sharpman, No, it would be Lewis Farakhun. Yes,
the legacy of hate continues. It's almost like a litmus test.
I know for a lot of you, you don't follow
(04:39):
the world of rap, but I certainly have. And you
look on the Instagram pages of some of the big
time rappers. Some of them have gone mainstream, some of
them who are doing cartoons, some of them who are
promoting Fortune five hundred products. Some of them who have
escaped going to jail themselves, like Snoop Doggie Dog who
(05:01):
did a drive by shooting in Los Angeles and a
jury all of a sudden said, uh, seeming to suffer
a little dementia, a little Alzheimer's. See, I can't quite
connect the dots. Well. He has gone on to become
a superstar in Hollywood, even though he does puff puff
(05:22):
pass all the time. I mean he's in a let's
face it a drug induce psychosis. This guy love Farra
can still does right Instagram. There's Snoop Dogg with Farakhn
llll cool Jay Right mainstream artist TV shows there he
is the Fhara Khannas. She broke my heart when I
(05:44):
saw Chaka Khan, Chaka Chaka Chakka Cohn performing for Scooy
Louis Farakhan. Oh, you go right on down the line.
Kendrick Lamar was it ice Qbiced, t Ice, trave and
l ice. One of the ice is there. They're all
fat Joe. It's almost like an insistence. And when you
go to the Instagram site, you got to be a
(06:05):
picture somewhere of the most virulent anti Semite that is
approaching one hundred years old. Soon they'll probably live to
them because of all the hate and the bile that
he has. Ninety two still kicking it. Oh, you know,
want to miss the story of how the grim Reaper
could have taken him away, but unfortunately he survived for
(06:28):
another hateful day. Well, now the Anti Defamation League, they're
vetting out people who have been appointed to incoming mayors.
Are on Mondamini's transitional team. One of them is a
lawyer who has a history of praising and associating with
Friar Kine, and the question is should that exclude him
(06:50):
from consideration. I don't fault the ADL for vetting these appointees.
That's what transparency is, that's what should be taking place,
especially when we just went through the anniversary of the
Dreyfus affair. We're the French captain now, for Dreyfus was
(07:13):
wrongfully convicted of passing military secrets to the Germans, sentence
to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and it turned out
it was the result of severe anti Semitism. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, and the term is Jacque's. In fact, I
(07:38):
think that pedophile on a pedestal. Roman Polanski did a
movie about this. I think so after he escaped to Paris.
In fact, little brief side the bar here, I was
named the Grand Marshal of the annual Pulaski Day parade
for Polish Americans. Fifth Avenue. You go to the mass
(08:01):
first at Tank Patrick's Cathedral. I'm coming out with the
tucks and tails and I red beret and a tourist
bus pulls up from San Diego, where I've had guardian
angels down in Balboa Park, the gas Light district over
in southeast San Diego, some relatively tough areas. People get
off to the bus they're gonna go on to Saint
(08:22):
Patrick's Cathedral. They recognize me, they come running up, Curtis,
I didn't know that Polish Americans have a parade to
honor Roman Polanski. No, it's Pulaski. General Pulaski well not
only went into the Deep South and fought regular British
troops in the American Revolution, but they actually have this
(08:45):
huge tomb in statue to him in Savannah, Georgia. You
go throughout the South where I've been Arkansas, you go
to Georgia, you go to Tennessee, they have Pulaski County.
They don't even teach the kids in the schools why
the county was named after Pulaski. In fact, they unearthed
his tomb recently because they said he was a harmaphrodite.
(09:09):
You know what that is is he look it up?
Look it up, go google it. Why would you take
the guy's body out? He was one of the reasons
we won the American Revolution. As we approach our two
hundred and fifty anniversary this coming year, onearthed his body
try to determine if he was a harmaphrodite. Uh. And
(09:31):
then of course it was kaysjewsco not Casiasco, General Kyjewsko,
who helped George Washington and convinced him the West Point
should become the college for not just the United States military,
but for engineering, against the will of Thomas Jefferson, the
fellow Virginian of George Washington, who wanted that to be VMI. Yep,
(09:55):
cause jewsto they don't teach you that in school. But anyway,
I mean, there were as people were thinking getting off
of that tour bus from San Diego, that that parade,
the annual Pulaski Day parade, was not in honor of
General Pulaski and in honor of Roman Polanski. So the
Dreyfish affair, which was based on the Protocols of the
(10:18):
Elders of Zion, which was circulated by the Czar of
Russia and fed anti Semitism, which has been a problem
for so many decades and has reared its ugly head
up again as it always does. But the one fixture
of anti Semitism that has been around forever and ever
(10:39):
is screwy Louis Farak, and so coming up, got to
discuss a little bit about Eric Adams Swagerman with no plan,
who's been traveling around the world at taxpayer's expense. What
was he in Israel? Uzbekistan? He probably can't even find
Uzbekistan on a map. Then recently in Mexico. And we're
(11:00):
paying for all this stuff, right, we're paying for this.
This guy was hopelessly corrupt. Should have been actually put
in jail, put on trial for corruption. I know all
about it. And you remember, you remember is the piece
in the monopoly game that we all hoped that we
(11:21):
would get under the Christmas tree as a president from
Santy Claus, remember missed the monopoly in his tuxedo as
he flies out of an open bird cage. That was
the corrupt Eric Adams at that annual Alsmith didn't remember
which Trump suggested openly for the first time that he
(11:45):
was a victim of law fare, the over extending reach
of Joe Biden's Department of Justice, instead of not realizing
as anybody else would, that he got wooted out a
prison cell which he would have shared with gold bars
Bobby Menendez the center of New Jersey in his striped
(12:07):
convict uniform instead, and now he's acting like he did
nothing wrong. It's interesting. Three key figures on the political scene.
Eric Adams with Discraciada never did anything wrong, andrewis Eliscomo
never did anything wrong. Donald Trump never did anything well,
(12:29):
they never did anything wrong. They're the perfect people. Everything
was perfect, perfect, except that's not the case. And I
was amazed that last week. I guess he took a
pit stop here, you know, and being mayor, he decided
to bury a time capsule to be dug up in
ten years, as if anything that went on in his
(12:52):
corrupt and chaotic administration which led to the election of
Zorhan Mandami should be put in a capsule and buried
and then brought up in ten years for everybody to
take a look at. And I would say the first
thing was probably a wad of cash in a red
envelope stuffed inside of an open bag of hers sour
(13:16):
cream and onion ripple potato chips that his very dear
grifter and bag lady. Oh my god, Oh she was
so bad, this woman in attempting to bribe Katie honan
of the city. Oh man, it's like he's trying to
(13:42):
reinvent history. But his love affair with Fhara Khan goes
back quite a bit. In fact, in the nineties he
decided that he would run for Congress against Major Owens
because Major Owens, along with David Dinkins and Maya said
no and should not speak in New York. And at
(14:03):
that time Eric Adams took money from the Nation of Islam,
had Nation of Islam members collecting signatures to qualify him
to run, and was endorsed by Skooy Louis Fara Khan
and used to hang out with his very dear friend
Conrad Muhammad at the Nation of Islam mosque in Harlem. Now,
(14:25):
people didn't want to talk about that in the election
of twenty twenty one. They basically took the etcher sketch out.
And have you ever asked Eric Adams about Scooy Louis Farakh.
He would sidestep that issue. Look, he's not an anti Semite,
Eric Adams, There's no doubt about it. But he did
(14:45):
have a major love affair with Scooy Louis Farakh. That's
well noted. But people didn't want to talk about it then.
So the question is any kind of relationship that you
had or you have with Skooy Louis Farrick Canada, Nation
of Islam, should that immediately disqualify you from having anything
to do with the government. The boy. A lot of
(15:09):
people in government will now have to recuse themselves and
may have to look for a different occupation. Our numbers
one eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten.
That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
On this your place to be from now on sevent
ten WR, The Pulse.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Of New York On the Voice of New York, Curtis
Sleiewald Guess hosts for Marx them on sevent ten WR.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I have a suggestion for the outgoing Eric Adams Swagerman
with no plan got wine dying the pocket line, so
that Bob Barker remember the price is right. He got
his price and then he dropped out of the mayoral
race in September, and he's been moaning and groaning ever
since and traveling around the world at taxpayer's expense. Apparently
(16:10):
he's meeting with Kathy Hockel today. Maybe Kathy Hochel can
do for him what was done for the one hundredth
mayor of New York City a long time ago. I
think it was actually in nineteen fifty for William O'Dwyer.
(16:33):
He was the one hundredth Mayor of New York City corrupt.
When he had been Brooklyn DA from nineteen forty to
nineteen forty five, he was in the back pocket a
Murder Incorporated, the Jewish mob run by lepk and the
Italian faction of Albert Anastasia and quick Kid twist Rellis,
(16:55):
who was a hit man if you looked at his
LinkedIn page at the time, wht's what is your rocket patient?
Hitman for Murder Incorporated, which was out of Brownsville, and
he decided to be a rat eat the parmesan chief.
So they were housing him at the Half Moon Hotel
in Coney Island, sixth floor six detectives from William Old
Dwyer's DA's office in Brooklyn, and suddenly Albert Twistdrellers proved
(17:21):
that men could not fly because somehow he fell or
was pushed out of that sixth floor window. He had
already testified against six members of Murder Incorporated, all of
whom got the juice in their caboose in sing sing
old sparky Jews and Italians, and then the last one
(17:41):
he was going to testify against was Albert Anastasia. Well,
he never made it to the witness stand, and so
this all came back to haunt William Oldwyer as mayor.
They were going to indict him, convict him, when all
of a sudden the phone rang from the White House.
Was President Truman at that time. He said, you know,
(18:02):
we're desperately in need of a US ambassador to Mexico, desperate,
and I want you to leave being mayor. We're gonna
give you a ticket tape parade to the Kenyon of Heroes. Yeah,
ticker tape parade for this crook. And he went on
to become the ambassador to Mexico eventually to come back
(18:25):
and help put together the first Israel Day Parade, which
there's a question as to whether Zorahanmandami will participate as
mayor we know that ain't happening, or if he would
cancel it. I don't think he'll do that, but that's
for another day. Maybe what should have been done when
(18:46):
Kathy Hokl had Eric Adams on the ropes, Remember she
could have fired him. A governor has the right to
fire a may an. O. It's never been done before close,
but they didn't quite do it, and she could have
fired him, but he held on basically did whatever she asked. Yes, ma'am,
Yes ma'am, Yes ma'am. Now you remember Tom Holman when
(19:09):
Eric Adams was singing sitting on that sofa there at
Fox and Friends in the morning, and Tom Holman is
talking to the crew there and he says, Eric Adams
on National TV, and if I come back here, Eric
and I find out the NYPD is not working with ICE,
I will put my boot up your butt. And Eric
(19:32):
Adams proud, righteous, your old Asiatic black man, right, didn't
even blink. I have seen that video over and over
every time I go into an African American community, they said,
could you believe what the brother did here? He didn't
even object to that. He didn't even turn to Tom
Holman and say, don't use that language towards me, because
(19:54):
he knew they had him by the short hairs. That
the only reason he got that get out of jail
pass was because he promised to cooperate with ICE, even
though the sanctuary city laws here in New York City,
which I opposed, say that you cannot. But he was
(20:21):
looking there and he will never ever overcome that in
the African American community because he had sold them Wolf tickets.
You know, at some point I got to discuss Atlantic
City now that we have the three casinos, including the
(20:42):
Resorts World that got one of them, Thessino there, remember
Yonkers at the track got it there. They decided they
didn't want to go for the full license. Three two
in Queens, one in the Bronx, and talk about how
that may be the last. Now in the coffin for
Atlantic City, which is a place that Eric Adams could
have easily been the mayor of since so many of
(21:04):
them have been indicted five since nineteen eighty one, including
the most recent one Marty Smalls Junior for voter fraud.
Hoh shocking. Oh, you don't want to go anywhere. Oh,
by the way, I did promise you we will go
to the phone so your voice could be heard at
your newfound station for some your old friend seven ten
(21:26):
wor are numbers one eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. That's one eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The voice that fights for New York. Literally Curtis Leewah,
guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Woor has promised, it's your turn to be heard here.
And when I'm hoping so many of you will turn
to seven to ten WOR for all your talk radio
content as I have. Let's go to if we can't, Mike,
Who's calling from Long Island? Your turn to be heard
(22:05):
here at seven ten wor.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Mikey, Hey, Curtis, how you're doing. It's great to hear
you back on the radio. I'm an old Khanassie boy
had a store on Avenue Well in Kanasi. I'm pretty
sure you used to shop there many years ago. My
wife and I started it. It's about fifty years ago
we started it, and I remember how you used to
help that community when mister Shopton had his march down
(22:30):
Avenue Well and prisce Realty was doing all of his things.
And listen, I just want to tell you I thank
you for everything you've done in the past, and how
certain people were promoting Crolo to be a mayor with
his background. He's a criminal. Politics is a dirty business. Unfortunately,
you were trying to do the right thing. And even
(22:53):
though my vote wouldn't count, I did contribute to your
running for election. And you're a brooklynman and everything you've
done be proud of. And I'm proud to know that
you're from a neighborhood I grew up there.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
We'll let me tell you. Canarsi ail roads lead to
Kanarsie the good and I might add the bad. Give
me an idea Avenue L best Pizza Paula, the original
pizza of Avenue L still there. Cross Street is Channel twelve.
The news outlet used to be like a bull hack
a wall bomb supermarket no more. And got to tell
(23:28):
you they were the little Casey's on one side of
Avenue L. The Gambinos on the other side. They used
to have to run the gauntlet and the Avenue L
boys who were total degenerates. But I survived that. It
was like running through an Apache line from time to
time because I would not avoid going down Avenue L. Oh. Yeah,
(23:52):
Andrew evilized como. How many of them are out there?
And they keep You know, these bots, they're like like
the wave of drones. They get used in the war
between Russia and the Ukraine. Right, they come in pots, spots, spots,
and so you split the vote in the New York
(24:12):
Mayor's race to guarantee that more crime could happen, Right, Curtis,
you took money from Zorhan, you know, and you could
tell where they're being generated from countries all over the world,
and they come in and waves waves, And it all
started with Cuomo and their supporters of Cromo. By the way,
where is he? Oh yeah, he probably slit it under
(24:32):
his rock in the Hampton's hanging out with all of
his billionaire friends, the influencers, the insiders. They got him nowhere.
Maybe he should run for mayor of Southampton, since he
spent all of his time in Southampton. Let's go if
we can to ann who's calling from Staten Island? Your
turn to be heard here on seven ten wr ann, Well,
(24:58):
let's see.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I'm my sister, and Merry Christmas to you and your
sweet wife who we met. Well, they met at a
fundraiser at the Belvedere with a Feel and we gave
to your campaign. We miss you. Greg Kelly's unhinged. You
should sue the station the slander because you're excellent and
you should be the mayor. And we're heartbroken for you,
(25:21):
but you know what you do so much good. I
wish your good health and happiness and financy. I missed her.
Animal show ABC should go down the tubes and I
have been listening now a few months to Oh. I
used to listen to Handity too, and I'm back with them.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I enjoy them.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
And Greg Kelly's a total disgrace. I think he's nuts.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, he is a little bots, a little titched, but
you know, he is doing what free speech allows you
to do in America. He has a right to do that.
Men have died in battle for us to have free
speech and also to be able to vote, which two million,
(26:03):
one hundred thousand people did in this last mayoral campaign,
a record that hadn't been seen since nineteen sixty five,
since I was all of eleven years old. And so
unfortunately John Lindsey get elected mayor of the City of
New York. By the way, I'm pretty sure don't we
have here w Or the dog Smart radio show? Don't
(26:27):
we have that? I think a w Or? I mean
used to be on the weekends here Wor you would
have all the shows that were talking about gardening, talking
about finance, investments, retirement animals. I mean, that was a
fixture that I would listen to. Bernie Meltzer. Oh yeah,
(26:49):
oh wow, what a following he had, Old Bernie. But no,
ant is right. Best thing they ever happened in my
life was when I met Nancy. We got married, and boy,
she is an animal rescuer. Like so many of the
listeners here, a wr are throughout the Tri State area
(27:11):
and throughout the country, and without her, I could not
have survived many many ordeals. I owe everything that I
am or I have at this point in my life
to my beautiful wife, Nancy, And they don't get any
better than that. You know, as Mahatma Gandhi said, is
society that takes care of its animals will take care
(27:33):
of its people. But a society that does not take
care of its animals will not take care of its people.
And that's exactly what we have in New York City.
As I began the show telling you about the year
anniversary of the horrible, horrific death of Dobrina Kawama at
the subway station in Coney Island on the F train
when she was set up into a human torch, and
(27:57):
how a year later they won't even say her name
because they don't even remember her name. Well, we did
that yesterday and I want to aploy wor Natalie in
the morning for introducing that in the news the New
York Posts for covering it, but many people out there
just have no idea what happened. Let's go to Sergio,
(28:20):
who's calling from New Jersey. Your turn to be heard
here at seven to ten WOA Sergio.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Hi, Curtis. I was wondering if you can elaborate on
Bob Grant one time. Apparently he took some tile expensive
towels on the studio and you had to go and
mediate for him to bring him back.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I'll let me correct you. The king of talk radio,
Bob Grant, who is my mentors the reason that I'm
in talk radio because when I was first on the
air at the old WABC, they didn't want to have
me on the air, and he said, you gotta have
Curtis on the air because he knows where all the
bones buried and who buried them. And he had the
force in the talk radio world at that time that
(29:05):
his wish basically became the command of the suits, the
big markers. But he was a kleptomaniac in many many ways,
no doubt about it. I think you're conflating two separate stories.
But let me tell you the best one that I
was personally involved in. He was given a loaner Cadillac
back then, in order to promote somebody purchasing a new
(29:29):
car used car, they have a new fangled expression now
pre owned car. You know, for used cars. They would
give you a loaner car. And Bob Grant, I think
it was in Englewood, was promoting Cadillacs from Englewood. Everybody
back then they wanted to the El Dorado, they wanted
the Fleetwood, the Seville. He had a car and his
driver would take him back and forth to Manalapan on
(29:52):
The Jersey Show where he was living, and you have
to give it back after a certain point of time.
And the program director of the Joe Manelli, was intimidated
by Bob, as he could intimidate many, and Bob wouldn't
give the Cadillac back. So John Minelli said, he's your friend.
Go in there and tell them there are new rules
(30:12):
in the business. You can't schnore like a lot of
radio people did, both AM and FM four years schnore
free stuff. It's called pay for play, and we could
get in trouble. So I said, I got it, John.
I went in there. It took me maybe an hour
and a half to convince the King of talk radio
Bob Grant, responsible for my career, to give me the
(30:34):
keys and that we would get it back to the
Cadillac dealership before they would report that to the FCC
to be in violation of pay for play. But man,
it was not easy. It's Bob Grant back then, the
king of talk radio. Thought. I'm entitled to the treasures
(30:55):
like so many others. And if you listen to me
up until January second, as I substitute for or Mark Simone,
You're gonna hear a lot of other stories you had
no idea about that I want to share with you
about this thing of ours, talk radio, because this is
the business that we have chosen.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Now more with New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis Leewah
guest hosting from Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Woo you know, yes it is. I was leaving the
studios here day number one of my substitution for Mark
Simon till January tewcond and oh, I got a lot
of other great stories to share with all of you,
and that's why you got to listen every day or
get it on the podcast. But I heard the voice
(31:46):
of Brett Winterble, who's substituting up next for the boys.
I said, that's Bretton Winterble, that's Boy Limbaugh. He used
to be the phone screener for the Great Rush Limbaugh.
We used to share facilities at the old WABC seventeen
to Flour High above Madison Square Garden. And Brett was great,
(32:08):
always wanted to be in talk radio. And he used
to live in Morris Park in the Bronx. Take the
two of the five chain up there, say really Bretton, Yeah, yeah,
live up here. Family up there, extended family. And he's
gone on to become a great talk show host in Charlotte,
where they had like two attacks on their light rail system.
(32:29):
Two not one the one you knew about the Ukrainian
immigrant woman, no no, no, no two another recent one. I
think it was an illegal alien. And he's urged me
to bring the Guardian Angels down to Charlotte, which I
think I'm gonna have to do it. All the Yankees
who were fleeing down there. Everybody from up north in
our area was moving down to that area. Unfortunately, the
crime is skyrocketing. But he's a great town and there's
(32:54):
been a lot of young upcoming talk radio show hosts
and hostesses who've unfortunately not had that opportunity. But I
