  Speaker 3: I know. The nicest story, the nicest story in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: world is when you were having trouble walking over here
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and one of the doormen ran out and gave her
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a cane.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Wow, it was the craziest thing I walked.

• 3:39
  Speaker 5: can't walk. And I was hobbling across my regular path

  Speaker 5: every morning, and a guy who works outside the hotel
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: who I see every day, he's always cleaning this the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: front of the hotel. He's like, girl, what's wrong? And

  Speaker 4: I was like, do I work with it on the
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: side of the knee? What anyway?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So they heared it out because as she came in,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I saw her with the cane. I thought to myself, oh,

• 7:37
  Speaker 3: check everything out before they give you the money. So
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: you have to come in every day with a huge
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: smile on your face and not tell us at all

  Speaker 3: why you're smiling.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, now whyry you happen to have been a winner

  Speaker 1: That great Oscar Award winning film Want to Be a Millionaire.

  Speaker 3: You're saying everything but the name of the film.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Uh you want to be a million That's all I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: can remember. But the scenes from Bombay, which I've been to,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: were so perfect. It was really well done. By the way. Yesterday,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: uh yesterday I was at the Dominican Parade in Manhattan,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: had some problems at the end. And before that, the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: day before the first ever Jamaica Parade in Brooklyn, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: actually people were caught up to me and they see
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: me with the red satine jacket the wool red parade,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and they see I'm not fitzing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They said, well, what is your secret?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I say, it certainly isn't my Caucasian persuasion, that's for sure,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: because I get red like anybody does in the sun.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: But I do want my uncle Steve, and I know
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's going to be it's gonna feel like one hundred today.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: My wife she's knocked out if it's over eighty five degrees,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: she can't even move.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I tell her do what my uncle Steve taught me
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to do. You have a nice bowl of hot soup.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And when you have that hot soup, and if you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: could put spices in it. I can't because I had
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Crone's disease. But when you put spices in it, you'll
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: walk outside and you'll feel like you're in an ice box,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like you're in a refrigerator. Everyone else is schmidzing, they're
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: falling over. Isn't that amazing? And he would eat ice
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: cream in the dead of winter when we had real
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: winters back then, like twenty degrees belows here, he'd.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Be eating ice cream. Wow, And it works for him.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Hey, listen, we get a lot to talk about now
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: for the talkbacks. We have your cure to cold weather
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: and the hot weather. We have Natalie's knees, and we
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: have the power Ball. What would you do with the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Powerball winnings and are you gonna play it all? All
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: of it? Go to the iheartrate app look for seven
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: ten wr dot com and then you get the talkback
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: feature and your cord what you want to say? It's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Curtis Leewa and Larry Menti in the morning.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: On sevent ten, war.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Horrible, horrible story, Sarah Sanchez ended up drowning along with
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: her five month year old daughter. She was on a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: boat with her boyfriend Andreas Garcia. They were all there
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the forty first birthday of their friend Paula Rivers.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And they were total of about fourteen people. And this
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: was on the Zeus luxury charted speedboat that left Randalls
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Island and it will go on a route around the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty, which is gorgeous ride at night. You
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: see the Statue of Liberty all lit up, and if
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's not foggy and the surfer is not too rocky,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: it's really great. So they're celebrating the birthday and then
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the boat tips over from the front.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: According to those that survived, there were twelve that were
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: pulled out by the Coastguard and the police. Department and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: other boats in the area. But unfortunately Sarah and her child,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: her baby, ended up drowning. And first question I would
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: have asked is was everybody on that boat wearing life veests?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently they were not. The bigger problem, however, is
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the boat was dangerously overcrowded. So there is an investigation
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: going on right now as to whether they had the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: proper licensing to have this trip, whether they had the
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: right amount of people on board, whether they made certain
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: that everybody had safety equipment. So we're gonna be able
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: to find that in the last few days. But the
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: pictures of this are terrifying, and what happened, as you said,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: it just the boat just flipped over. Each cries out
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: that there was just too many people on board, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: that has got to stop. I mean, there are so
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: many of these boats that you'll see that are having
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: these tours around the Statue of Liberty or down the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Hudson River, and I'm sure ninety nine point nine percent
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: of them are following every regulation as they should. But
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: as with everything, there's going to be a couple of
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: people out there just trying to make a fast book
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: and will take as many people as they can sell
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: tickets to and put them on board, and they're certainly
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: not going to have life jackets for everybody. Now, look it,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to say that was all the case
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: on this. You're just hearing some of the stories that
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: are coming from some of the survivors, and you're hearing
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: some of the stories from the investigators right now. But
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: an investigation is taking place, and there may be depending
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: on how this investigation plays out, there may be criminal charges. Yeah,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: it's federal because this involves the Coast Guard. You have
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: to be properly credentialed, you have to have the proper
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: safety equipment on board, and you have to have a
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: certificate of inspection.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I've spoken with Coastguard officers, many of them that are
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: moored down where the Staten Island Ferry is on the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: South part of Manhattan before Ghosts of Staten Island, and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: they've told me the number one problem out there is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: drunken boat riders. That means guys, gals are teenagers. Sometimes
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: even on jet skis. You see them out there who
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: are so drunk and impaired, just like drunk and driving,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you know, sailling wild drunk. I think the references and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: they say oftentimes they have to go out and seize
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the boat, they have to bring it back to the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: port area and arrest the.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: People who were drunk.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We don't know if in fact that was the case
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: involving the pilot of this boat, but we do know
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they were celebrating a birthday. Have to assume that there
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was probably some liquor involved in the celebration on the boat.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But a horrible, horrible tragedy. You have to ask yourself,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: do you really want to bring a five year old
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: actually mean five month old baby out into the water.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Well, this isn't the first time this has happened. No,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: it's the first time it's happened there, but it's happened
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: three times in New Jersey just this year alone. I mean,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: you have Berkeley Township. A thirty foot boat struck a
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: channel marker in the Barnicut Bay, ejecting a seven year
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: old boy and a nine year old girl who were
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: later pronounced dead. Tom's River a twenty sixth This was
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: in July, so that was July nineteenth. This is also
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: in July. A twenty six year old man was killed
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and two others were hurt when a vessel hit a
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Barnicut Babe marker every single time. They're hitting markers that,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: by the way, if you've ever seen them, they're pretty
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: big and they sometimes have lights on them, but they're
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: white and it's really hard to not see them. So
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: you're right. It goes back to where they drinking. But
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: these are all tragic. Barnegat Bay Memorial Day, a twenty
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: year old man died and multiple people were injured when
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a boat struck another marker, throwing passengers overboard.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: World Challenge New York's Knew Wake Up Call Curtis Sliwa
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and Larry Minty in the Morning on seven ten WR.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Well, there has been a lot of blowback over something
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: we were talking about last week because Connecticut was talking
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: about putting a moratorium on flock safety Automated license plate readers,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: also known as flock cameras. These are cameras that there's
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: well over one thousand in New York. There's fifteen hundred
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. They're on bridges, they're on street lights,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: they are on traffic stops, they're everywhere, and as you
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: drive down the street, what they do is they record
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: your license plate and they keep it forever, so they
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: can where you go when you leave your house in
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the morning, everywhere you've gone since then. Because there's fifteen
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: thousand of them across the country and in state after
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: state after state, they're finding problems with them, mostly from
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: law enforcement themselves. There's been almost a dozen states now
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: that have faced internal investigations, resignations, and even criminal charges
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for using Flock Safety database for non law enforcement purposes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: If somebody has a crush on a woman, these police
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: officers will follow her to find out where they can
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: meet up with her if they think that their wife
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: is cheating on them, they use it for themselves. It's
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: completely illegal and there have been calls now from the
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: ACLU and others saying, listen, this is mass surveillance. This
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: is unlawful surveillance. You're surveilling people that have no ideas
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: happening to them, and it's completely illegal. Now. In Connecticut,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: we talked about them last week because they had some
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: legislation that they were debating as to whether they should
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: have a moratorium on the flock cameras until they can
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: be discussed, and it seemed like that the legislature was
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: not going to go ahead with this moratorium. They think
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: It is that important because it does serve crimes, It
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: finds missing persons, and it solves crimes. But why are
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: they keeping your information? So Governor Lamont has now called
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: for a review of all safety cameras and automated license
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: plate readers in the state. So he's going to have
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: this statewide review. They're going to stay up, but he's
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: going to have this statewide review to find out what's
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: going to happen with them. By the way, the latest
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: problem is Savannah, Georgia, where four officers were using it
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: for personal reasons and tracking some love interest to find
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: out and that is going way above and beyond. There
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: may be criminal charges filed for using this. But this
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: has gotten it seems like it's getting out of control.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: This is something that I think a lot of people
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: didn't even know was happening. But it's happening to you,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: it's happening to me, and so it's something you should
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: know about and be concerned about.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: In fact, there's such agitation out there around the country
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that flock cameras have been vandalized because people are so
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: upset that they're not getting answers. Now interesting. Governor Lamont
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is running for a third term. His primary happens to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: be tomorrow. Now he's well ahead in the polls against
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a very liberal, progressive challenge named Joshua Elliott. I think
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of it this also is Lamont was the peace candidate.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Remember when he ran against Joe Lieberman, he was the progressive.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: He beat Joe Lieberman in the US Senate primary Democratic primary,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: but then lost the Leaderman in the general election was
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the dependent, but he was.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Considered the progressive, left wing one.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Now now he's considered the moderate Democrat and his challenger
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is on the far left, Joshua Elliott from the state legislature.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: But I think this was also timed just as a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: precaution to say no, no, no.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: That's why you want to elect me governor.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna let this be dealt with by
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the legislature. We're doing a full review to make sure
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: it doesn't become a last minute issue in the vote
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that is tomorrow.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: But these are the concerns that people.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Have, and rightfully so, Larry, because we you and I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: we discussed this on Friday. How long will the information
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: be stored, how is he going to be used, how
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it may or may not be shared outside of the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: local state authorities, because you know, there are a lot
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: of entities that would love to have this information. The
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: more information they have on you in the cloud, the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: better it is for them. So people are like really upset,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and rightfully so this was never fully explained. This was
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: basically just done. And this is a situation where public
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: safety is saying, trust us, We're doing this for all
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the right reasons. But as you pointed out, without proper guardrails,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: there are people you know, uh, you get a personal
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: situation going, whether it's the guy or the gal or whatever,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and now you have access to this information in the cloud,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: or even drug dealers, organized criminals who have followed the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: license plates before that used to be called into them.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're opening up a Pandora's box unless you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: have this stuff locked down and used only for the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: purpose that it was meant for.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy that runs the company that owns flock
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: has been out on front of this. He was in Connecticut,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: he's in Savannah right now. He keeps trying to put
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: out fires all across the country. He answered your question.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Flock Safety stores vehicle data for a default period of
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: thirty days before it's permanently deleted. However, there's always a
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: how effort, isn't there? The exact storage length can vary
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: because of individual law enforcement agencies or private customers. They
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: can adjust their retention setting based on local laws, state statutes,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: or specific contract. In that whole statement put out by Flock,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: you know what bothered me the most private customers? You
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: mean you could be driving by a house and they're
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: recording it for private use. You mean that there are
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: some people that can buy these and put them around themselves.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that they sold them to private people.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that this wasn't just a government thing.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: That to me, is just as concerning as everything else.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Imagine knows the neighbors right right exactly want to know
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: everything about everybody, every car that moves down a block.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: They want all this information.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: But see, that's the problem if you have a corporate
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: entity that is doing this without proper government regulation and restrictions.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: It's a business. It's got to make money.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And if they think that they can make money outside
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of what it was prescribed to do for public safety concerns,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: got it. You know there's a missing child, a missing person,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: any number of that there's a bank robber who's on
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the loops, and these are the licensed plate, license plates
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: we're looking for, make and model of the vehicle.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Got it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would object to that, But for
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the private personal use of people, what good would that do?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And that immediately opens up a Pandora's.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Box exactly, And this is one of those that you
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: have to weigh the good versus the bad, right. I mean,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: if you look at their statistics, they have helped solve
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: twenty five percent of the cases in this country. They
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: have found hundreds of missing people that have helped solve
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: crimes all across the country, and so it is an
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: extremely important, important law enforcement tool. However, why should we
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: all be afflicted by it? I mean, if there is
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: no interest, for instance, in my license plate, if they
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: have AI already looking at everything, AI can tell you
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: right away this is not a person of interest, this
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: is not one of the people you're looking for a
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: race it right away. They have the ability to do that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I think that would cure a lot of their problems
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: if they were just more adamant about saying we're not
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: storing private information and we're not selling it to anybody.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: And so if we have your private information and you
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: haven't committed a crime and you're not being looked for,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: right now, we get rid of it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: How many times did you think, especially your sons lifted
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: your keys and took your family caught for a joy
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ride and then got back right on time and then
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: crawled into bed, no problem, right, And you didn't think
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: twice about it because you're not checking your sphenomenon, you're
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: not checking a little less gas. Maybe I didn't guess
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: up and up now you would have a recourse, right, See,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: what the.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Hell has my car bin? Yeah, if you've got it privately,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: you're right. But my kids wouldn't do that.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Are you sure?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I'm positive? I'm absolutely positive.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I certainly did it. I mean, if the keys
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: are there, Yeah, we are.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: So giving in that kind of stuff.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Cat's away, The mice will play, right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: I get calls from my son saying, hey, listen, I'm
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: gonna take your cars. That's okay, No, that's good.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yesdinarily good.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: But you know there are situations yeah, mostly boys, sometimes girls,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: but mostly boys who figure, oh the keys are lining,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: or I'll just take it for a quick cride.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I'll have it back in an hour.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: You know what I find out with parenting not bluffing, ever,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: really helps. Like if you say you're gonna do something,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: do it, and after a while the kids get the message.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Like when you say, hey, guess what, I'm not paying
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: for your college anymore. If you do this, they listen.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: WHOA that is definitely his street.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go to vocational trade school, learn
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: how to become an electrician, a plummer, or a competent
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that actually may be a benefit to them.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: And you're right now, you're right. Oh you kidding? Meet
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: college life. You think they're gonna give that up? Insurance
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: agency
