| 0:00.0 | to hear Mark Simone and all the WOR hosts in an instant. |
| 0:05.3 | Now back to the Mark Simone show on WOR. |
| 0:11.5 | 800, 321-0-7-10 is the number. |
| 0:15.0 | Let's take some calls. |
| 0:15.8 | Let's go to Dave in Chicago. |
| 0:18.1 | Dave, how you doing? |
| 0:20.3 | Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well. Thank you. |
| 0:22.9 | Mark, regarding the mayoral race in New York, if the local channels, either 247 covered it, |
| 0:29.5 | would they continue to be corrupt? |
| 0:32.8 | What do you mean? You're supposed to cover the mayoral race? |
| 0:36.8 | No, I understand that but uh just like |
| 0:39.9 | when david new or world news tonight was covering oh well no i i know what i know what you mean yeah |
| 0:46.2 | channel four uh totally uh rigged the debate last time around that's another thing you got to |
| 0:51.5 | watch out for uh it was Curtis versus Eric Adams, |
| 0:55.4 | and Curtis is a much, much better debater. So Channel 4 deliberately rigged the debate. They made it |
| 1:01.7 | just a ridiculous, silly game show. They decided it'll be only 30-second answers. You can only |
| 1:07.2 | talk for 30-s. Well, if you're asking about a very, very important issue, |
| 1:17.1 | 30 seconds is silly. In most debates, political debates, you got two minutes. You should let them talk. And then what they would do with Curtis, whenever he would start to get to, you know, |
| 1:22.2 | or go after Adams, they said, we have to talk about climate change. They would change the subject to |
| 1:26.2 | climate change or something that's really not a mayoral issue. Then the other thing they did, like the last 10 minutes, we only want a yes or no answer. The reason they do this, Curtis is a great debate or Adam stinks. They knew Curtis would really overshadow Adam. So we're only allowing one word answers. This should be against the law. In a presidential debate, you should not allow one-word answers. Or a mayoral debate. It's important. You want to hear them speak. And then they would ask these, the last five minutes were ridiculous game show questions. Like, if you could be a tree, what kind of tree would you be i mean ridiculous stuff so |
| 2:02.3 | hopefully channel four they are the first debate by the way hopefully they will not rig it this time |
| 2:08.0 | and hopefully i've talked to curtis about this that he's got to go after them if they try to rig the |
