Now back to the Mark Simone Show on w o R. Hey,
let's take some calls. Let's go to Roger, a story
of Queen's Roger, how you doing.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Good? How about you?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Let me check? Not bad?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Not bad? What'd you want to say, Roger?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's good?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, a little bit of good news by one poll.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
At last the phonic it looks like she's a point.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, no, wait a poll. A poll wouldn't mean anything.
It's over a year away. Poole wouldn't mean anything right now,
but it's that's next year, a year from now. We
hope she wins. But let's go to Let's go to
Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing, hey, Mark.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
You know, anytime you hear any politician talking about sending
social workers with greae off, you have to know that
they have no clue what in the world they're talking about.
Any messer's call can go go bad in seconds, I
mean turned deadly in seconds. That helster has to worry
about protecting the social worker and protecting himself in the

(01:17):
absolute nightmare. They have no clue what they're doing it.
Any social worker would have is in their minds to want.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
To do that.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
No, No, they don't want to do it. They don't
want any part of that. But the good point Stewart,
that's another thing, not only as the social worker in danger,
but now the cops got to protect one more person. So,
as Ray Kelly has pointed out, nobody knows more about
the NYPD than he does. Through the decades, they have
tried this out a number of times, having social workers

(01:45):
respond to domestic violence. They have tried it out every
possible way, and it absolutely doesn't work. In fact, it's
extremely dangerous for the social worker, and none of them
want to do this stuff. Let's go to uh, let's
go to lou and Union, New Jersey. Lou, how you.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Doing, Yeah, Mark, did you know that the guy who
owned FedEx passed away?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh? Yeah, I knew the guy, Fred Smith. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
He had a two couple of hearts from the Vietnam
War and he was worked about fifty billion.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Dollars that he had that much in his golf pants.
He read a lot of money. Now, he was a
wonderful guy. In fact, if you look at my Instagram.
There's a picture of us together from oh Well, a
couple of months ago. Yeah, fred Smith a great guy.
He started FedEx, he dreamed up the whole thing, he
built it. He had something like eight hundred thousand employees.

(02:37):
He was running the most complex operation in the world.
Let's go to at Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
What do you think I thought it. Curtis did a
very very good job last night. I thought Mondami was
an absolute fool. What he was talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh, the poor prostitutes on Roosevelt Avenue. It would be
a double crime if we're going to prosecute people who
were just holing to make a living. Well, Hello, dude,
you're not talking about the fact that a lot of
these women are taking uber or lifts to get to
the point where they tricked. And not only that, you're

(03:17):
not talking about the fact that in this day and age,
these people could be spreading venereal diseases. Stewart from South
Carolina is one hundred percent correct, and Curtis pointed this
out about the danger you're imposing upon a social worker
that has to go out with the empire ripd. I

(03:41):
saw that in the fifties they used they tried that
in the fifties. I remember there was a nut job
throwing stuff out the wind and the woman was out
of a bird and on a Sunday, two cops and
two doctors came from Bellevue to put this woman in
a straight jacket. And thank god it was only a

(04:03):
crazy woman who didn't have access to a gun or
something like that. But still, it's right. They did away
with that a long time ago, and nobody oh Mandami
were citing as paradigms of district attorneys Alvin Bragg and
Roberto Gonzalez of Brooklyn, who were not prosecuting prostitution cases.

(04:29):
Usually these women who were involved in that are also
involved in other things. I better. If you looked in
their bag, you're gonna find drugs. You might even find guns,
knives or whatever. And what about the pimps who were
controlling these women, They're usually involved in other stuff. But

(04:50):
this is the answer we got from Mandami. Oh Eric Adam,
Alvin Bragg and Roberto Gonzales says it's a double crime
to prosecute these women. These women need job training, These
women need a night in lock up. That's what they need.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, sounds like they've had both. But Vincent, great call,
great point, Thanks for calling. I saw Eric Adams last
night at the Al Smith dinner. He looked he always
looks happy, but he looked much happier now, much much
happier to be totally out of this mess and not
have to be going through all of this right now. Hey,
when we come back, we'll talk to Ann Coulter. I hope,

(05:29):
I hope she knows we switched to Friday. But we'll
talk to her in a moment on seven to ten
