Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is seven tor Boy.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Mark Simoon Show starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well, it's Friday. Tomorrow, the election begins. The mayor all
election begins tomorrow. Early voting starts tomorrow and goes for
ten days. The election itself is a week from Tuesday.
It's almost here. Andrew Cuomo has picked up steam. He
had a good debate performance, which is unusual. He usually
(00:33):
is pretty bad in those debates. But some people think
he got shot up with some of that Joe Biden injection.
You'll suddenly give him some energy, some speed, and so
he was pretty good in that debate. Curtis most just
about everybody agrees won the debate. On content, on issues,
(00:54):
Curtis the winner. But but Cuomo energetic for the first time,
actually able to talk smoothly for the first time. Not great,
not great. The mom Donni still a better debater, But
since then, Clomo's picked up a little steam. I don't
know if it's enough. It may be way too late.
Eric Adams has endorsed Cuomo. Why does Eric Adams suddenly
(01:18):
endorse Cuomo? He just five minutes ago was calling him literally,
called him a snake and a liar. Well, as you know,
there were billionaires, zillionaires, big big, big, big money donors,
trying to help Cuomo like crazy, trying to bribe Curtis
out of the race, trying to bribe Eric Adams out
of the race. A lot of money being offered to
(01:39):
a lot of people to help Cuomo. And suddenly Adams
is endorsing Cuomo. I don't know anything, you do the math,
But there was Eric Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, you criticize Andrew and you call them names, you
know what, and he called me names. But you know what,
now it was time to fight for the family. And
I'm a fight for the family with Andrew Cuomo as
the next mayor of the City of New York.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'm fighting for the family of New York.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
That's why I'm here today to endorse Andrew Cuomo to
be part of this fight.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
All right, all right, yeah, I guess that's true. Cuomo
did call him names. And the fact that Adams kept
calling Cuomo names, called him a snake and a liar.
That's really not that unusual in politics. It happens all
the time. I remember George Bush calling Reagan all kinds
of names in the primary Voodoo Economics all that stuff,
and then when he got chosen as the running mate,
(02:36):
you forget about all that. It happens all the time,
all the time, even Trump. You know, when he was
in the primaries, he was calling Rubio names. Rubio called
him names. Same thing with just about everybody in the
in the primary. So you forget all that when it
comes time for a general election. But Cuomo, I don't
(02:58):
know he thinks. I don't know how much Eric Adams
helps him. He is voting. His numbers were single digits,
so there's not a lot of votes there. But they
stood there. They even hugged each other.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I don't want to thank Mayor Adams for his support,
but more than for his support, the mayor put his
own ambition aside because he cares more about New York City.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I see a little shot at Curtis there.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
New Yorker's vote, I win. New Yorkers reject this socialism,
reject the vision. If New Yorkers vote, I win.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
No, he's back to the slow talking a little. Did
Curtis Curtis sliwa? We think Curtis would make the best mayor.
Curtis Sliwa? Did he want adams endorsement?
Speaker 6 (03:52):
I know they're going to be celebrating today, But when
I look at them today, two corrupt birds of a
feather flock together, they deserve one another.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
No, he didn't want adams endorsement.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
The rough birds of a feather flock to get I'm
not worried about that.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Anybody who was going to vote Ferrick Adams I have
to wonder with.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
They've been these last four years because he is the
most corrupt man in the history of New York. So, hey,
Andrew Cuomo, you can have whatever votes he had. I
don't ever want Eric Adams.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Votes now again. Early voting starts tomorrow, so it's just
about over. But you know, there's still a week and
a half and they're trying to push Curtis out of
the race. Those same big money donors. They have this
fantasy that if Curtis dropped out, the votes would go
to Cuomo. Most people think that's ridiculous. Most of these
(04:48):
SLIWA voters hate Cuomo. Jimmy Faylor put it best. It
stead of like if the Yankees lose and the Red
Sox win and go on to the World Series, they
Yankee fans don't start rooting for the Red sox doesn't
just doesn't work that way. Well, get back to the
mayoral race. Lots to get to there. Leticia James, our sleezy,
dirty attorney General, is in Virginia right now. She's about
(05:11):
to go into court this morning. Looks like she will
be indicted for mortgage fraud if you look at the documents.
We assume the documents are all authentic, and if they are,
it looks like she's pretty guilty of mortgage fraud, deceiving
the bank. Now when you watch the reports, all you
hear about is Trump targeting, is targeting, is political enemies. Uh,
(05:34):
when Letitia James was inviting indicting here, you never heard
one person say she's targeting her political enemies. You never
heard the same anchors say that Governor Kathy Hogel jumps
in to defend Letitia James. You know, there's a lot
of sleezy deals around the whocal world. That stadium deal,
that virus testing deal, a lot of people that was
(05:56):
really sleezy. She didn't need anybody looking into That might
be one reason she's being so supportive of the attorney general.
But here she was defending Letitia James. The whole bunch
of slimy Jerry Nadler type democrats on stage with her.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If they can do this to an attorney general of
a state like New York, heaven helped the rest of us,
because they can come after anyone.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, actually they do all the time. People do get
arrested and indicted for this exact same crime, this mortgage fraud.
And this is not like what Trump did. You know
what they accused Trump of doing overvaluing his apartment, which
first of all, he didn't. If you look now at
the comparable you know, that's what they do in real estate,
you look at the comparable apartments and what they sold for.
He was pretty much right with his evaluation. But if
(06:44):
you look at his case, the crime, there was no crime.
He couldn't possibly have committed a crime because he knew
the bank knew, everybody knew that whatever evaluation he put
would never be seen by the bank. They would never
look at it. It says right in the documents, we're
not to look at your numbers. We won't use your numbers.
It says right in his document, don't use this number,
(07:05):
do your own. But they all know the bank doesn't
look at your number when they want to give you
an eight hundred million dollar loan. They send a team
of appraisers, they'll come decide what the number is. They
never even look at your number. Never. Now, in the
case of Letitia James, this is a crime that it's
easy to commit because the bank only looks at your number.
(07:28):
And in the words, if you say it's going to
be my primary residence, they take your word for it.
They don't follow you around for a year. They take
your word for it. And the reason she said it
was her prime going to be our primary residence. She'd
get a much better mortgage rate, she'd get a much
better tax rate. She was saving a lot of men.
So it was clearly when you do something like this,
it's clearly to defraud the bank, and you're on your taxes.
(07:52):
So she is going to have a problem today in court.
Now they're trying to go after the prosecutor who what
I was I believe a Trump attorney at one point,
But that's not unusual. Many times somebody's president and their
attorney or their legal team people like that all get
appointed as US attorneys. And then they attack her by saying,
(08:13):
even Hockel did that, she's a US attorney who has
no experience as a prosecutor. Well, that's pretty common. That
happens a lot. Chris Christy's a good example. He had
absolutely no experience as a prosecutor. I don't think he'd
ever even been in a courtroom before. But he'd been
a huge fundraiser for George W. Bush, so they appointed
(08:35):
him US attorney. Now, there's a lot of US attorneys
who are very experienced prosecutors, but there's a lot of
them get that appointment and they've never been a prosecutor.
So it's not unusual at all. But this is the
double standard the media Democrats are famous for. Another good
example is this what they're calling BDS. BDS is the
new disease. It's ballroom derangement syndrome. Liberals media melting down
(09:02):
over the ballroom, the construction which has taken place fourteen times,
the same exact corruption construction with the with the wrecking
ball and the cranes at fourteen times it's been done
at the White House. You know what's interesting the ballroom.
Have you seen the pictures of it. It's spectacular. This
Versailles like ballroom is absolutely enormous, spectacular, ornate, luxurious, three
(09:27):
hundred million. When Obama did his construction, he tore out
the was it the tennis courts? He tore out the
tennis courts and built a basketball court. He spent three
hundred and seventy six million, which is about four hundred
and fifty million in today's dollars. So the media totally corrupt.
(09:50):
Not one reporter, anchor media writer New York Times, nobody
has started to ask why would a basketball court, which
is just a slab of concrete, why would a basketball
court cost fifty percent more than this ballroom? It should
cost one fiftieth of what the ballroom costs. Not only
did it cost off more than the ballroom, Obama built
(10:13):
it to the tax beyers. In this case, Trump is
having it, he's paying for it, and some donors are
paying for it. So total total corruption on the part
of the media, never asking anything they should be asking, Hey,
that NBA scandal. A lot of arrests, reputed mobsters, thirteen
reputed mobsters busted alongside NBA stars, sweeping historic gambling bust
(10:40):
and the NBA terrified of this. They're tangled up in it.
Players throwing games, all sorts of stuff. Four teams, four
mob families, millions and millions and millions of dollars. It's
hard to believe anybody would fall for this, though. They
get a couple of famous athletes to lead high rollers
into this poker game where everything is real. The card
shuffler is rigged, the deck is rigged, everything is rigged.
(11:05):
This is like a real, uh, Henry Hill, Jimmy Burke
kind of a card game. Now what was his name
of the movie, Jimmy Conway, Remember Goodfellas, Henry Hill, Jimmy
Conway with that poker game. So why would you if
you're a big NBA star and these guys, If you
look at these guys, they've each made like one hundred
and fifty million, two hundred million, you're multi, multi, multi millionaires.
(11:28):
Why would they get involved in something like this? Well,
it's usually two reasons. One, they're in debt to the mob,
the gambling debts, or something in debt somehow. But again,
if you're worth one hundred and fifty million, it's hard
to believe they're in debt to the mob. It could
be that could be it, or it could be they
were involved in something else, some other total sleazy, dirty,
(11:50):
bad behavior. Something they were doing that the mob knew
about or had something to do with it, and are
blackmailing him into this. It could be that too, who knows.
But the bust was pretty pretty big yesterday. Here's a
cash pttel FBI director on it.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
It's not one hundreds of dollars. It's not thousands of dollars.
It's not tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even
millions of dollars. We're talking about tens of millions of
dollars in fraud and theft and robbery across a multi
year investigation.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yeah, the sports books themselves are victims in this case.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
They at themselves did not as far as our.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Investigation has concluded, they did not perpetrate anything unlawful.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, now you gotta wonder a big high roller players,
what are they doing in this kind of game? You
know you can bet anywhere now? They got legal betting,
They got those betting sites. You can go to Las Vegas.
You don't need to go see Jimmy Conway and Henry
Hill here.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Once the game was underway, the defendants fleeced the victims
out of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per game.
The defendants used a variety of very sophisticated cheating technologies,
some of which were provided by other defendants in exchange
for a share of the profits from the scheme.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
It does sound pretty good. This is going to be
one big movie one day.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Between December twenty twenty two and March twenty twenty four,
these defendants perpetrated a scheme to defraud by betting on
inside non public information about NBA athletes and teams. The
non public information included when specific players would be sitting
out future games or when they would pull themselves out
(13:36):
early for purported injuries or illnesses.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
All right, but that's gone on before. We've seen that
through the years, and in the age of Twitter and
social media and TikTok and all that stuff, you'd think
that information would fly around a lot more than it
even does now.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Cash Betel, not only did we crack into the fraud
that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage the NBA,
but we also entered and executed a system of justice
against La Caasanoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino, Geneveci and
New Chase crime families.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
La Coosa and Nostra. When is the last time you
heard that phrase.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation
that spanned the course of years. The FBI let a
coordinated takedown across eleven states to arrest over thirty individuals
today responsible for this case, which is very much ongoing.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, pretty amazing. It's quite a story. The only problem
I wish this would happen in a few weeks from now.
The only problem with this case, it's grabbing all the headlines.
It's covering up the Letitia James indictment. In fact, the
James indictment last night, if you were watching the news,
it was like fifteen minutes into the news because this
thing took up the whole first ten minutes. But sometime
(14:52):
this morning we'll hear that Tish James was indicted. But
this NBA thing looks like over thirty people so far
have been indicted. You'll see more names added to that.
This will grow and mushroom and anyway, Hey, we got
a lot to get to. Hey, we'll get to Johnny Carson.
It's the one hundredth birthday of Johnny Carson, the greatest
talk show host ever, the greatest late night host. We'll
talk about him in a few minutes. Oh, we'll take
(15:14):
some calls. Next eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten
This is seven tor Boy.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Mark Simoon Show starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well, it's Friday. Tomorrow, the election begins. The mayor all
election begins tomorrow. Early voting starts tomorrow and goes for

It's almost here. Andrew Cuomo has picked up steam. He

You'll suddenly give him some energy, some speed, and so
he was pretty good in that debate. Curtis most just
about everybody agrees won the debate. On content, on issues,
(00:54):
Curtis the winner. But but Cuomo energetic for the first time,
actually able to talk smoothly for the first time. Not great,
not great. The mom Donni still a better debater, But
since then, Clomo's picked up a little steam. I don't
know if it's enough. It may be way too late.
Eric Adams has endorsed Cuomo. Why does Eric Adams suddenly
(01:18):
endorse Cuomo? He just five minutes ago was calling him literally,
called him a snake and a liar. Well, as you know,
there were billionaires, zillionaires, big big, big, big money donors,
trying to help Cuomo like crazy, trying to bribe Curtis
out of the race, trying to bribe Eric Adams out
of the race. A lot of money being offered to
(01:39):
a lot of people to help Cuomo. And suddenly Adams
is endorsing Cuomo. I don't know anything, you do the math,
But there was Eric Adams yesterday endorsing Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, you criticize Andrew and you call them names, you

really sleezy. She didn't need anybody looking into That might
be one reason she's being so supportive of the attorney general.
But here she was defending Letitia James. The whole bunch

some of which were provided by other defendants in exchange
for a share of the profits from the scheme.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
It does sound pretty good. This is going to be
one big movie one day.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Between December twenty twenty two and March twenty twenty four,
these defendants perpetrated a scheme to defraud by betting on
inside non public information about NBA athletes and teams. The
non public information included when specific players would be sitting
out future games or when they would pull themselves out
(13:36):
early for purported injuries or illnesses.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
All right, but that's gone on before. We've seen that
through the years, and in the age of Twitter and
social media and TikTok and all that stuff, you'd think
that information would fly around a lot more than it
even does now.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Cash Betel, not only did we crack into the fraud
that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage the NBA,
but we also entered and executed a system of justice
against La Caasanoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino, Geneveci and
New Chase crime families.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
La Coosa and Nostra. When is the last time you
heard that phrase.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation
that spanned the course of years. The FBI let a
coordinated takedown across eleven states to arrest over thirty individuals
today responsible for this case, which is very much ongoing.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, pretty amazing. It's quite a story. The only problem
I wish this would happen in a few weeks from now.
The only problem with this case, it's grabbing all the headlines.
It's covering up the Letitia James indictment. In fact, the
James indictment last night, if you were watching the news,
it was like fifteen minutes into the news because this
thing took up the whole first ten minutes. But sometime
(14:52):
this morning we'll hear that Tish James was indicted. But
this NBA thing looks like over thirty people so far
have been indicted. You'll see more names added to that.
This will grow and mushroom and anyway, Hey, we got
a lot to get to. Hey, we'll get to Johnny Carson.
It's the one hundredth birthday of Johnny Carson, the greatest
talk show host ever, the greatest late night host. We'll
talk about him in a few minutes. Oh, we'll take
(15:14):
some calls. Next eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten
