Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Red Beret has returned to radio. Curtis lee
Wall guest host the Mark Simone Show on sevent ten. Woo.
This is the place that you should be all the
time to get your talk radio information, news, and most
(00:25):
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
you have so many options to be able to listen,
to look at read, many many more than when we
(00:47):
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 Syman close
to fifty years my mother Francesca, dental technician, and they
(01:07):
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
CIA agent. And you could actually dig a hole all
away from Bayone, New Jersey, the gateway to the world,
(01:31):
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 you off for years, Gene Shepherd. A lot of
people said over the years, Wow, got a lot of
Gene Shepherd in you. You could take sort of a
(01:51):
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
to a few of the old tapes, boy, that was
a real great compliment. And that was overnight radio. Good.
(02:13):
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
station of WABC, which used to be always broadcasting Curtis.
(02:34):
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
little jet planes would be emerged and what we clearly
(02:58):
understood and just listening to his diatribe. This guy, that's
why I call him School Louis Hurricane. And yet he's
had his followers over the years and now even though
he has somehow survived till ninety two, and you don't
want to miss it, I'm gonna tell you a story
where the Grim Reaper could have took him away and
(03:20):
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, I
guess is Nazi boy. I think he fontes right, that's
(03:42):
the new Jack. But old school O G right, O
GI fairy can. But it's now a litmus stets 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
Obama talk about being a smooth operator, like the Shade
(04:05):
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. Uh. You know who would come out number two? No,
not not out slim shady sharpman, No, it would be
(04:25):
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 the world of rap, but I certainly have.
And you look on the Instagram pages of some of
(04:48):
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 did a drive by shooting in Los Angeles
and a jury all of a sudden said, uh, seeming
(05:11):
to suffer 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 pass all the time. I mean he's in a
let's face it a drug induce psychosis. This guy love
Fara can still does right Instagram. There's Snoop Dogg with
(05:32):
Farakhn llll cool Jay right mainstream artists TV shows there
he is the Fhara Khannas. She broke my heart when
I saw Chaka Khan, Chaka Chaka Chakka Khan performing for
Scooy Louis Farakhan. Oh, you go right on down the line,
Kendrick Lamar was it ice qbiced, t Ice, trave and
(05:55):
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
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
(06:17):
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
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
(06:40):
lawyer who has a history of praising and associating with
far Kine. And the question is should that exclude him
from consideration. I don't fault the ADL for vetting these appointees.
That's what transparency is, that's what should be taking place,
(07:02):
especially when we just went through the anniversary of the
Dreyfus affair. We're the French captain now for Dreyfus was
wrongfully convicted of passing military secrets to the Germans, sentence
to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and it turned out
(07:24):
it was the result of severe anti Semitism. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, and the term is Jacque's. In fact, I
think that pedophile on a pedestal. Roman Polanski did a
movie about this. I think so after he escaped to Paris.
(07:48):
In fact, little brief side the bar here, I was
named the Grand Marshal of the annual Pulaski Day parade
for Polish Americans. Up Fifth Avenue, you go to the
mass first at Tank Patrick's Cathedral. I'm coming out with
the tucks and tails and my red beret, and a
tourist bus pulls up from San Diego, where I've had
(08:10):
guardian angels down in Balboa Park 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
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
(08:36):
only went into the Deep South and fought regular British
troops in the American Revolution, but they actually have this
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
(08:58):
the county was named after Pulaski. In fact, they unearthed
his tomb recently because they said he was a harmaphrodite.
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
(09:20):
hundred and fifty anniversary this coming year, on onearthed his
body try to determine if he was a harmaphrodite. Uh.
And then of course it was Kaysjewsco not casiasco General Kyjusco,
who helped George Washington and convinced him the West Point
should become the college for not just the United States military,
(09:46):
but for engineering, against the will of Thomas Jefferson, the
fellow Virginian of George Washington, who wanted that to be VMI. Yep,
cause Jewso 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
(10:08):
General Pulaski, but in honor of Roman Polanski. So the
Dreyfish affair, which was based on the Protocols of the
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
(10:31):
up again as it always does. But the one fixture
of anti Semitism that has been around forever and ever
is screwy Louis Farka, 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
(10:52):
was he in Israel? Uzbekistan? He probably can't even find
Uzbekistan on the map. Then recently in Mexico. And we're
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
(11:19):
in the monopoly game that we all hoped that we
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
(11:40):
which Trump suggested openly for the first time that he
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 booted out of
a prison cell which he would have shared with gold
(12:04):
Bars Bobby Menendez the center of New Jersey in his
striped 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.
(12:26):
Andrew Eviliscomo never did anything wrong. Donald Trump never did
anything wrong. 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
(12:48):
in ten years, as if anything that went on in
his corrupt and chaotic administration which led to the election
of Johan 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
(13:09):
first thing was probably a load of cash in a
red envelope stuffed inside of an open bag of hers
sour cream and onion ripple potato chips. That his very
dear grifter and bag lady. Oh my god, Oh she
(13:29):
was so bad, this woman in attempting to bribe Katie
honan of the city. Oh man, it's like he's trying
to reinvent history. But his love affair with Fhara Khan
goes back quite a bit. In fact, in the nineties,
(13:51):
he decided that he would run for Congress against Major
Owens because Major Owens, along with David Dinkins and Maya
said no can should not speak in New York. And
at that time Eric Adams took money from the Nation
of Islam, had Nation of Islam members collecting signatures to
(14:11):
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, people didn't want to talk about that
in the election of twenty twenty one. They basically took
the etcher sketch out And if you ever asked Eric
(14:35):
Adams about Scooy Louis Farakhan, he would sidestep that issue. Look,
he's not an anti Semite Eric Adams, there's no doubt
about it. But he did have a major love affair
with Scooy Louis Farakhan. That's well noted. People didn't want
to talk about it then. So the question is any
(14:56):
kind of relationship that you had or you have with
Skooy Louis Parrik Canada, Nation of Islam, should that immediately
disqualify you from having anything to do with the government,
the boy. A lot of people in government would now
have to recuse themselves and may have to look for
a different occupation. Our numbers one eight hundred and three
(15:19):
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
