- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, good morning to you.
- 0:01Speaker 2: I hope you survived the thunderstorms. There was a tornado
- 0:06Speaker 2: warning in upstate New York in Ulster County. Did you
- 0:09Speaker 2: know that? Man, it didn't hit, but there was a
- 0:12Speaker 2: tornado warning.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It was bad. You want to be listening later on
- 0:15Speaker 1: in the program, I'll give you an update on Lone
- 0:17Speaker 1: Wolf Juan Nancy.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Shh!
- 0:21Speaker 1: Baying to the moon in the inclement weather in central
- 0:24Speaker 1: park when the blood moon supposedly appeared i couldn't see.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Anything i don't think anybody could see anything she did
- 0:31Speaker 2: really it must have just peeked through the clouds a
- 0:34Speaker 2: couple of times because it was just unfortunate that we
- 0:37Speaker 2: had this lunar show and then we also had all
- 0:40Speaker 2: these clouds and but a lot of people i i
- 0:43Speaker 2: feel for you in staten island i feel for you
- 0:44Speaker 2: in elizabeth i know there was flash flooding i know
- 0:47Speaker 2: there's A lot of cleanup going on today. So the
- 0:50Speaker 2: only good news is you're going to have some nice
- 0:52Speaker 2: weather over the weekend.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Now, was this appropriate for me? Because, you know, I'm
- 0:55Speaker 1: the guy who knows about the catch basins overflowing. You
- 0:59Speaker 1: need to clean them out, especially with this extreme flash
- 1:04Speaker 1: flooding we get when we this would be like number
- 1:07Speaker 1: eight this summer. And we haven't even reached Labor Day yet.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But a few of the folks in Staten Island, they've
- 1:12Speaker 1: seen my posts lately, you know, the catch basins. Yesterday,
- 1:15Speaker 1: I did one, all the garbage in the tracks that
- 1:18Speaker 1: are backing up the catch basins, which leads to floods
- 1:21Speaker 1: and track fires. Okay, can you come out here with
- 1:24Speaker 1: some of your guardian angels and help us from underwater?
- 1:27Speaker 1: And what do you think I said, Quiet Storm? Chris
- 1:30Speaker 1: on loan from Mark Simone. I love that. Chris on
- 1:34Speaker 1: loan from Mark Simone. Natalie, not away. You know what
- 1:37Speaker 1: I told him? I said, why don't you call your friend?
- 1:40Speaker 1: You're a Cuomo sexual. You voted for him, not me.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Why don't you call Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Why did you bring Chris on that? Do you think
- 1:47Speaker 2: he's a Cuomo sexual? Is that what you're saying?
- 1:49Speaker 1: No, no. But, you know, just to get him active because,
- 1:52Speaker 1: you know, Natalie is not with us today. She'll be
- 1:54Speaker 1: back with us on Monday. So you're going solo in
- 1:58Speaker 1: the producer's seat today.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Let's give him a few minutes.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Go ahead. What do you want to say? I mean,
- 2:02Speaker 1: I have nothing to say on this right now. Hold
- 2:04Speaker 1: on a second. I didn't pay attention. But, you know,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore talked about date night at City Field last night.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Did they get rained out? No, they played. They lost, obviously.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Of course.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a given. Did anybody get
- 2:17Speaker 1: hooked up? Did anybody score? That I don't know. I
- 2:21Speaker 1: was not there.
- 2:22Speaker 2: They didn't keep score on that? That's all anybody cared about.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Not that I saw. The Mets lost, but I'm sure...
- 2:28Speaker 5: Hopefully somebody won last night.
- 2:29Speaker 1: What else is new, right? What else is new? But anyway,
- 2:32Speaker 1: let's get to the number one story. Larry, you were
- 2:36Speaker 1: talking about it right at the tail end of the
- 2:38Speaker 1: show yesterday. We had so many talkbacks. People wanted to
- 2:41Speaker 1: talk about it. The historic settlement. that Zuckerberg and his
- 2:46Speaker 1: lawyers agreed to in the case, the civil case against
- 2:50Speaker 1: him that was being heard in Oakland, California, in California
- 2:54Speaker 1: against him. But it also involved attorney generals from all
- 2:58Speaker 1: over the country. What were the details of that settlement
- 3:01Speaker 1: which protected Zuckerberg from having to get up on that
- 3:04Speaker 1: stand and make a complete fool out of himself?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yeah, this should get a whole lot more attention than
- 3:09Speaker 2: it's getting, actually, because this is going to be the
- 3:12Speaker 2: beginning of a long trend now. It's going to be
- 3:16Speaker 2: years and years and years in this because Meta has
- 3:20Speaker 2: basically admitted that yes, they were manipulating their products to
- 3:25Speaker 2: be more addictive to children, and they're going to end
- 3:28Speaker 2: up paying $ 18 billion in a settlement for that. But
- 3:32Speaker 2: that's not the most important part. The most important part
- 3:34Speaker 2: is the precedent it sets, and that now others, that
- 3:38Speaker 2: X and Twitch and all of the other social media
- 3:41Speaker 2: platforms are going to be forced to follow suit. So
- 3:45Speaker 2: watch what's going to happen. These dominoes are now going
- 3:48Speaker 2: to start falling over the next year. This is what
- 3:50Speaker 2: the meta agreement is. There will be two-hour daily limits,
- 3:56Speaker 2: a default two-hour usage cap on Facebook and Instagram that
- 4:01Speaker 2: requires parental consent to remove. Overnight curfews, restrictions on the
- 4:07Speaker 2: app usage between midnight and 6 a.m., a ban on
- 4:11Speaker 2: push notifications on weekdays between 8 and 3 p.m. There's
- 4:16Speaker 2: a long list of these. But what it does, it's
- 4:21Speaker 2: going to limit what your kids can do and how
- 4:24Speaker 2: long they can stay on social media. Because their own research,
- 4:29Speaker 2: which they hid, they buried, showed that this had a
- 4:35Speaker 2: deletory effect on youth, that it was hurting our youths.
- 4:41Speaker 2: And it was making them angry. It was making them isolated.
- 4:45Speaker 2: And in some cases, it was making them suicidal. And
- 4:49Speaker 2: so this is a tremendous ruling. I'm glad this is
- 4:53Speaker 2: now out in the open. But you also had a
- 4:56Speaker 2: lot to say about this.
- 4:57Speaker 6: Shame on the parents.
- 4:59Speaker 7: It's their responsibility to oversee what their children are doing.
- 5:04Speaker 7: Not Zuckerberg. He knew how to keep his kids away
- 5:09Speaker 7: from social media.
- 5:10Speaker 8: Is it too much work for the parents today?
- 5:13Speaker 1: Take their electronics away.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you a thousand percent, but let's
- 5:19Speaker 2: say I do disagree with some of that. I do
- 5:22Speaker 2: disagree with some of that. You're right. Zuckerberg did keep
- 5:25Speaker 2: children away that he knew, and other people that were
- 5:28Speaker 2: involved with META also kept children away. But that's not
- 5:33Speaker 2: to say that all the blame should be on the parents,
- 5:36Speaker 2: because now that we've seen the settlement, they knew exactly
- 5:40Speaker 2: what they were doing. They knew how they could get
- 5:43Speaker 2: to kids. They knew how they could hold them on.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And then they formed communities online where kids were getting
- 5:50Speaker 2: bullied could now get bullied online. And so, yeah, they
- 5:55Speaker 2: have to take some responsibility. I don't disagree. Parents need
- 5:58Speaker 2: to take some responsibility, too. I don't disagree with you
- 6:01Speaker 2: at all. But you can't let Mark Zuckerberg and the
- 6:06Speaker 2: rest of the social media companies off the hook.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Yeah, it's sort of like letting the drug dealer off
- 6:10Speaker 1: the hook. The drug dealer knows he could get your
- 6:14Speaker 1: kid hooked. Now, you could be like, well, the parents,
- 6:16Speaker 1: you should have had more oversight and that. But meantime,
- 6:19Speaker 1: it's the drug dealer, right, who is the one pushing
- 6:22Speaker 1: the drug. He was pushing a drug. Look at Zuckerberg
- 6:26Speaker 1: and all of his minions. They had the data. They
- 6:29Speaker 1: saw that young people had this insatiable appetite, like adults do, too.
- 6:33Speaker 1: You know, this could be applied to adults. I mean,
- 6:35Speaker 1: how many times are adults scrolling, scrolling, scrolling? Are you
- 6:39Speaker 1: going to get to bed? What are you going to get?
- 6:41Speaker 1: What's so important on that stupid cell phone, Phil? You know,
- 6:44Speaker 1: the wife will say. Well, you know, it's addictive. It
- 6:49Speaker 1: is addictive.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Well, some kids, this became their whole life.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Well, remember, when we were kids, we didn't have that.
- 6:54Speaker 1: But we had the little Sony radio that we would
- 6:58Speaker 1: hide under the pillow so we could listen to radio,
- 7:00Speaker 1: especially baseball games when. For me, the Yankees were way
- 7:03Speaker 1: on the West Coast, and the game started late. And
- 7:06Speaker 1: I know my parents, they'd go on patrol, you know,
- 7:09Speaker 1: to make sure I was asleep, and I'd fake it. Meantime,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I had the radio underneath the pillow. The moment they
- 7:14Speaker 1: went back to their bedroom, boom, I was listening through
- 7:18Speaker 1: the pillow. I don't ever remember my dad or my
- 7:20Speaker 1: mom trying to take that radio away, which would have
- 7:23Speaker 1: guaranteed I couldn't have been listening.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate sometimes when people... criticize parents. And I
- 7:30Speaker 2: don't know who this woman is, so I'm not going
- 7:31Speaker 2: to criticize her, but many times they're not parents and
- 7:35Speaker 2: they don't have kids. When you're at a restaurant and
- 7:37Speaker 2: you give your kids a social media thing, that is
- 7:40Speaker 2: your time to yourself. And now you don't have to
- 7:43Speaker 2: deal with them at dinner. You know what I mean?
- 7:45Speaker 1: It's a passion.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Absolutely. It's a pacifier. And so then you have other
- 7:51Speaker 2: people going, oh my God, look at them. Look at them.
- 7:53Speaker 2: They just gave their kids social media to do.
- 7:56Speaker 1: That's a $ 1, 000 iPhone right there. Why are they giving
- 8:01Speaker 1: a $ 1, 000 iPhone to their kids?
- 8:04Speaker 2: It's like, shut up, please.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I want an hour.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Can I have an hour just to eat? You obviously
- 8:11Speaker 2: don't have kids.
- 8:13Speaker 9: You're missing the whole point with the meta-settlement. Zuckerberg was
- 8:17Speaker 9: right by not allowing his kids to be online that often.
- 8:21Speaker 9: He's being a responsible parent. And that's the heart to
- 8:24Speaker 9: that whole case. Parents have taken their responsibility away and
- 8:28Speaker 9: blaming other.
- 8:29Speaker 1: People for it. And also, where's all that money going
- 8:31Speaker 1: to go?
- 8:32Speaker 9: That's just going to go into some big fund for
- 8:34Speaker 9: the states to spend on whatever they want. They're not
- 8:37Speaker 9: going to do anything with the money to help the kids.
- 8:39Speaker 2: You got to stop demonizing the parents. And that's not
- 8:42Speaker 2: to say that they don't have a responsibility. You just
- 8:45Speaker 2: got to stop demonizing the parents. It's hard enough. And
- 8:48Speaker 2: I know most parents love their children and would do
- 8:53Speaker 2: anything for them. But to be able to look at
- 8:58Speaker 2: them 24 hours a day to find out what they're
- 9:01Speaker 2: doing and to set rules that you know they're going.
- 9:03Speaker 1: To keep is a hard thing. It's a difficult thing.
- 9:06Speaker 2: And again, I don't know this gentleman, but a lot
- 9:08Speaker 2: of the people that criticize Parents are not parents. They're
- 9:12Speaker 2: not parents.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Zuckerberg did the right thing. You think Zuckerberg is at home?
- 9:16Speaker 1: You think his wife is at home? That's a good point.
- 9:18Speaker 1: They're billionaires. They have nannies. They have au pairs. They
- 9:22Speaker 1: have two children now. So they are like the oversight.
- 9:26Speaker 1: You take a single parent raising kids, right? Mostly it's
- 9:29Speaker 1: women nowadays in America. 50% of families end up going
- 9:33Speaker 1: through divorce. Women's got to work a job, right? she's
- 9:38Speaker 1: sometimes having to take on a second job absolutely when
- 9:40Speaker 1: does she have time to super well well zuckerberg does
- 9:43Speaker 1: it what do you mean he doesn't do it he's
- 9:45Speaker 1: not at home.
- 9:46Speaker 2: It's so easy to stand on the sidelines and criticize
- 9:50Speaker 2: and say hey you're not doing it the right way
- 9:52Speaker 2: it's difficult to get in the game.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Yeah so i know meta lost this lawsuit right so
- 9:58Speaker 3: think about this a minute make something addictive let's look
- 10:02Speaker 3: at all of our food all the fast food restaurants
- 10:04Speaker 3: all the products that they have out there that when
- 10:07Speaker 3: you eat them and make you want to have more
- 10:09Speaker 3: are they going to sue all these places because you
- 10:13Speaker 3: might as well you open that door you might as
- 10:14Speaker 3: well step through it now at this point.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Well, it's much different. I know what you're trying to say.
- 10:22Speaker 2: It's much, much different. The addictiveness of social media is
- 10:26Speaker 2: a mental thing and it can cause serious, serious problems.
- 10:30Speaker 2: This will make you fat and that's some serious problems
- 10:32Speaker 2: with that, but you can beat that.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Wait till they start with YouTube. How many people out
- 10:37Speaker 1: there right now listening to us? They're adults mostly. Unless
- 10:41Speaker 1: there's a kid in the back of the seat who
- 10:43Speaker 1: is required to listen to Larry and me in the
- 10:46Speaker 1: morning because they have no choice. How many people are
- 10:49Speaker 1: watching YouTube morning, noon, and night, right? They don't even
- 10:52Speaker 1: watch the big screen TV anymore. They've cut the cord.
- 10:56Speaker 1: They're not watching networks or cable. All they do is
- 11:00Speaker 1: watch YouTube, YouTube, YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. They'll be next in line.
- 11:04Speaker 1: You know they're getting sued. Oh, I think next is TikTok. TikTok.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I think that's what's going to be next. You know
- 11:09Speaker 1: who's going to be angry? Ellison, who did this as
- 11:12Speaker 1: a favor to Trump so we get it away from
- 11:14Speaker 1: the red Chinese. He's going to say, so I buy
- 11:17Speaker 1: in to control TikTok for America, and now I'm going
- 11:21Speaker 1: to be sued as a result? Where do I get relief? Please,
- 11:25Speaker 1: I did everybody a favor. And by the way, TikTok
- 11:27Speaker 1: is not as popular any longer. As when the Red
- 11:30Speaker 1: Chinese ran it.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about that. Oh, no, it's not.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Instagram.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I'll do a deep dive on that. But man, with Chris,
- 11:39Speaker 2: this is more of your generation.
- 11:42Speaker 1: TikTok? I use Instagram more.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Than TikTok?
- 11:46Speaker 1: Personally, yes.
- 11:47Speaker 2: But what about people just a little bit younger than you?
- 11:50Speaker 2: All I hear about is TikTok videos going back and forth.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Every time somebody seems to get arrested, it's a TikTok video.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
- 11:58Speaker 5: It's close. I think it depends on the more specific
- 12:02Speaker 5: age range. But yeah, I think probably a little younger
- 12:04Speaker 5: might be slightly more TikTok. And all the artists are
- 12:07Speaker 5: making it on TikTok. All the people that are trying
- 12:09Speaker 5: to get.
- 12:09Speaker 1: A recording career. Yeah, the young new artists. I think
- 12:12Speaker 1: you got to know their patterns, right? Instagram. And that
- 12:17Speaker 1: was controlled by Zuck, you pig.
- 12:23Speaker 2: When we come back, listen, we want to hear from you,
- 12:25Speaker 2: especially about the weather.
- 12:27Speaker 1: And if you.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Saw that blood-red moon last night or any of the
- 12:33Speaker 2: partial eclipse, that's when we come back. We'll be talking
- 12:37Speaker 2: about weather, the lunar sightings, and you.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Ah, ladies and gentlemen, plus there's a chance to win
- 12:46Speaker 1: tickets for Chicago. Not the city, but the group at 825.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. There is a danger to
- 12:55Speaker 1: people out there who are adults. And let me get
- 12:58Speaker 1: specific with this. Let me take you back to the headlines.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Remember a while back, a guy walks up to the
- 13:07Speaker 1: door of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband walks in
- 13:11Speaker 1: and then just kills him. And everybody said, how could
- 13:15Speaker 1: this happen? And they found a notebook police inside a
- 13:19Speaker 1: handwritten list of 11 websites. And immediately everybody assumed, oh,
- 13:23Speaker 1: it's probably a weapons website. Not one of them. They
- 13:27Speaker 1: were from data brokers and people search sites. And this
- 13:30Speaker 1: guy who was on a mission to kill had found
- 13:34Speaker 1: the home address for just a couple of bucks and
- 13:37Speaker 1: You type in your name. Do it right now. There
- 13:40Speaker 1: you are, your address, your phone number, your family's names,
- 13:43Speaker 1: a photo of your front door, your front door. And
- 13:46Speaker 1: you say, how could this be legal? What they do
- 13:48Speaker 1: is the data brokers is they bundle it up and
- 13:50Speaker 1: they sell it to whoever it is will pay them
- 13:52Speaker 1: a price. Now, it's up to you. You got to
- 13:54Speaker 1: put up the firewall. I've certainly done that. Obviously, I'm
- 13:58Speaker 1: a well-known individual. A lot of people are going to
- 14:00Speaker 1: be searching for me. We know. But I immediately got incognito.
- 14:05Speaker 1: I get a pen and a pen and write it
- 14:07Speaker 1: down because you want to share this information with family
- 14:09Speaker 1: and friends who themselves are being besieged. And they're wondering,
- 14:13Speaker 1: who the hell got all this information? It forces data
- 14:16Speaker 1: brokers and people search sites to delete you. Then keeps
- 14:19Speaker 1: checking because deleted data creeps back. Incognito scrubbed my info
- 14:24Speaker 1: and it can for you. And you don't have to
- 14:27Speaker 1: do anything in the process. And trust me, they're not naive.
- 14:29Speaker 1: They go back and look at it again and again
- 14:32Speaker 1: and again and play whack-a-mole for you. You lock your
- 14:34Speaker 1: doors every night. Tonight, lock down your address. Go to
- 14:37Speaker 1: incogni.com slash Curtis. That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I dot com slash Curtis. Sign
- 14:44Speaker 1: up now. Get 60% off.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Well, it was quite a downpour yesterday and it was
- 14:49Speaker 2: fast moving. It came through, created flash floods throughout North Jersey. Elizabeth,
- 14:55Speaker 2: I think all the TV stations were at and that
- 14:57Speaker 2: was a severe problem. And again, people tried to navigate
- 15:03Speaker 2: it with their cars and several cars got stuck. People
- 15:07Speaker 2: had to climb out of their windows because some of
- 15:10Speaker 2: the water was so deep. Staten Island was the other
- 15:13Speaker 2: one that was badly hit. Now, you had saw some flooding, too,
- 15:18Speaker 2: and you did a video on it.
- 15:20Speaker 1: I did a video a while back about the catch basins.
- 15:24Speaker 1: There are 150,000 in New York City, sewers. They're all
- 15:27Speaker 1: backed up with trash, flotsam, jetsam. They never get cleaned out.
- 15:31Speaker 1: That was true in Staten Island. That's true in most
- 15:33Speaker 1: locales even beyond New York City. Yesterday, I did one
- 15:36Speaker 1: in the subways right where the shuttle train runs from
- 15:39Speaker 1: Times Square to Grand Central. You see all the garbage
- 15:42Speaker 1: in the tracks. It's all collected near the catch basins.
- 15:45Speaker 1: So any water that goes there is going to be
- 15:47Speaker 1: backed up, and then there's flooding there. So we're not
- 15:50Speaker 1: talking a lot of money here. We're talking about good
- 15:53Speaker 1: old-fashioned manual labor, men and women going down and removing
- 15:57Speaker 1: the debris, which allows more of a flow of water.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And we're not talking about what we're seeing on television nonstop,
- 16:03Speaker 1: that horrible flood between Nepal and Tibet.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 16:07Speaker 1: You know, there was part of that glacier breaking off. No,
- 16:10Speaker 1: we're talking about flooding that's going to happen now on
- 16:13Speaker 1: a regular basis because of climate change. We just got
- 16:15Speaker 1: to get ready for it and start doing the basics.
- 16:18Speaker 1: We don't even do that now. Well, we got to dig,
- 16:21Speaker 1: you know, deeper tunnels underground. How about doing the basics
- 16:24Speaker 1: first and then we can look towards a long-term plan?
- 16:27Speaker 2: So I'm driving home in this yesterday and in the
- 16:30Speaker 2: middle of it, I get a flat tire. And so
- 16:33Speaker 2: I have three A's, which is great. And they're tremendous.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And they came and they towed my car. I go
- 16:39Speaker 2: to the tow place and I'm talking to the guy.
- 16:42Speaker 2: And he looked at my name because I was down south.
- 16:44Speaker 2: And he looks at my name and he says, oh,
- 16:47Speaker 2: Larry Menti. He said, you were on TV. What are
- 16:51Speaker 2: you doing now? And I said, I'm up at WOR.
- 16:54Speaker 2: You're going to love this. I said, I'm working with
- 16:58Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa. You know Curtis Sliwa?
- 16:59Speaker 1: He goes, oh, yeah.
- 17:00Speaker 2: My two daughters both went to college up in New York.
- 17:04Speaker 2: I've been there a lot.
- 17:05Speaker 1: He's a hero. How about that?
- 17:07Speaker 10: Wow.
- 17:08Speaker 1: That is great that he remembers that, that we're going
- 17:13Speaker 1: to school here. We were patrolling the subways and streets.
- 17:16Speaker 1: We still do. But back then, in the 80s, there
- 17:19Speaker 1: were no cops. So if you didn't see a Red
- 17:23Speaker 1: Beret sometimes, you were on your own. So I appreciate
- 17:26Speaker 1: the fact that he remembered that and conveyed it to you.
- 17:28Speaker 1: That's why our partnership is so strong. Because it spans
- 17:32Speaker 1: the decades, and both of us have performed a lot
- 17:36Speaker 1: of goodwill for a lot of people that will last
- 17:40Speaker 1: throughout their lifetimes. Can't really say that about a lot
- 17:42Speaker 1: of other radio shows, but we certainly can say that
- 17:45Speaker 1: about this thing of ours that Tom Cuddy put together.
- 17:48Speaker 2: You know, I'm so glad you said that because you're right.
- 17:52Speaker 2: This media has a power, and a lot of people
- 17:56Speaker 2: take that power to ingratiate themselves.
- 17:59Speaker 4: Yes.
- 18:00Speaker 2: To make themselves bigger and make themselves better. And they go.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Give, give, give, give, give.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Part of the gift of being on the media is
- 18:09Speaker 2: to help others. And so, you know, especially when I
- 18:12Speaker 2: did the documentaries, I was able to do that over
- 18:14Speaker 2: and over again. And you've lived a whole adult life
- 18:17Speaker 2: doing that. So you're right. I wish others would know
- 18:21Speaker 2: the responsibility and the power of what they do. Like
- 18:25Speaker 2: Daria Aubiger. who is here now with the 630 News.
- 18:29Speaker 11: Darian.
- 18:29Speaker 7: And I am proud to be in the company of
- 18:31Speaker 7: two heroes.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Oh, that's nice. I'm sitting with a hero. I just
- 18:36Speaker 2: did some good things.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 18:37Speaker 2: He did it every day.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Two, two heroes. And you know what?
- 18:40Speaker 7: If you reach one person, you know you have done
- 18:42Speaker 7: a good job in this business. If you reach many, many,
- 18:45Speaker 7: many more, that's epic. Partly sunny and muggy today. Chance
- 18:49Speaker 7: for an afternoon shower. A high of 82 degrees. The
- 18:52Speaker 7: big cleanup is underway after the latest round of strong
- 18:54Speaker 7: storms that rolled through the area. New Jersey was hit
- 18:57Speaker 7: especially hard.
- 18:58Speaker 6: There were reports of flooding and car rescues coming Thursday
- 19:01Speaker 6: afternoon in Hasbrook and Teterboro and waist-high water in parts
- 19:06Speaker 6: of Elizabeth. Sayreville in Middlesex County reported flooding, quote, all
- 19:10Speaker 6: over town, according to police. A lightning strike also sparked
- 19:14Speaker 6: a house fire in Sayreville. Nearby Old Bridge reported three
- 19:18Speaker 6: inches of rain in three hours Thursday. More storms move
- 19:22Speaker 6: through the region Thursday night. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
- 19:26Speaker 7: Some of the surviving former presidents are expected to be
- 19:29Speaker 7: at ground zero to mark 25 years since the September
- 19:32Speaker 7: 11th attacks. Now we're learning President Trump will not be there.
- 19:35Speaker 7: The White House says he'll be at the Pentagon instead.
- 19:37Speaker 7: The president upping the trade war with Canada by signing
- 19:40Speaker 7: an executive order to rename Lake Ontario, Lake America. And
- 19:45Speaker 7: it was met with considerable pushback.
- 19:46Speaker 8: Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney noting the name of the lake.
- 19:50Speaker 8: dates back more than 400 years, adding this lake is
- 19:54Speaker 8: called Lake Ontario today and forever. The lake borders New York,
- 19:59Speaker 8: whose Governor Kathy Hochul bluntly rejected the president's new name,
- 20:03Speaker 8: posting New York won't be calling it that.
- 20:06Speaker 7: That's ABC's Mary Bruce. The president signed the order in
- 20:08Speaker 7: front of a map that read Making the Great Lakes
- 20:10Speaker 7: Even Greater. The markets will be watching as Fed Chair

- 20:41Speaker 1: Up next, more airline problems, it seems, every week. If
- 20:46Speaker 1: it's not one airline, it's another airline. And finally, a
- 20:49Speaker 1: resolution to the two air traffic controllers who have been
- 20:53Speaker 1: found responsible for that crash. Remember of that Canadian flight
- 20:58Speaker 1: in LaGuardia into that emergency response vehicle. We'll break it
- 21:02Speaker 1: down to you with more details.
- 21:04Speaker 2: And our iHeartRadio Music Festival, presented by Capital One, is back,

- 21:35Speaker 2: Your next chance to text and win happens at 9
- 21:38Speaker 2: o'clock this morning on 710WOR. Well, this is a story
- 21:42Speaker 2: that is shocking when you hear it. It's been five
- 21:45Speaker 2: months since an Air Canada jet crashed into a fire
- 21:49Speaker 2: truck at LaGuardia Airport. We all remember it killing two people.
- 21:54Speaker 2: And while the federal investigators into the accident put together
- 21:59Speaker 2: all the information, we're now told that the FAA... wants
- 22:05Speaker 2: to fire two air traffic controllers, not the people you
- 22:10Speaker 2: heard on the air. Remember how upsetting it was when
- 22:13Speaker 2: they made a mistake and they realized they made a mistake?
- 22:16Speaker 2: Because the crash was caused by a truck, a Port
- 22:22Speaker 2: Authority fire truck that was going to another emergency, given
- 22:27Speaker 2: permission to cross the runway less than 30 seconds before
- 22:31Speaker 2: the crash. And so it was in the way of
- 22:35Speaker 2: an airliner coming in, and that's what caused the crash
- 22:38Speaker 2: and the two people to die. And you heard the
- 22:42Speaker 2: air traffic controller at the time realizing he just had
- 22:45Speaker 2: made a horrible mistake. But it's not him that they're
- 22:50Speaker 2: going after. They're going after the two that left early.
- 22:54Speaker 2: They want them fired. But here is the even more
- 22:58Speaker 2: shocking part. A lot of air traffic controllers say that
- 23:02Speaker 2: happens all the time. When there's not a lot of traffic,
- 23:06Speaker 2: when there's not a lot of work to do, we
- 23:09Speaker 2: go home early and leave it with the backup crew
- 23:13Speaker 2: or the crew that just came in. We don't all
- 23:17Speaker 2: have to be there. Well, you did that day. And
- 23:21Speaker 2: so we're going to see what's going to happen. This
- 23:22Speaker 2: is going to be fought out between the union and
- 23:25Speaker 2: the federal government and the FAA. It's all going to happen.
- 23:28Speaker 2: But it seems clear at this point the FAA wants
- 23:33Speaker 2: the air traffic controllers, and apparently there are two of them,
- 23:36Speaker 2: who went home early that day right before a deadly crash.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Yeah, and as the union has said, this has consistently
- 23:46Speaker 1: gone on. They call it, quote, early departure. The federal government,
- 23:51Speaker 1: rightfully so, our transportation secretary is saying that's time card fraud.
- 23:56Speaker 1: So probably what happened, because we don't have all the details,
- 23:59Speaker 1: is that because this is systemic now, you have two
- 24:02Speaker 1: guys in the tower where you had four. OK, you
- 24:05Speaker 1: two go out early. We'll punch your cards out in
- 24:08Speaker 1: a little while. Same thing. We've seen that on the
- 24:10Speaker 1: Long Island Railroad. We've seen that with other things with
- 24:12Speaker 1: fellow employees. We'll say, yeah, I'll punch your time card
- 24:16Speaker 1: out for you, even though they've already left. But to
- 24:19Speaker 1: find out that this has been systemic because the argument
- 24:23Speaker 1: by the union is, well, these men and women have
- 24:25Speaker 1: to work six days a week mandatory. That is true
- 24:28Speaker 1: because it was a shortage of air traffic controllers. But
- 24:31Speaker 1: that doesn't give you the right to basically be on
- 24:35Speaker 1: the clock and not be there. Particularly, this is such
- 24:40Speaker 1: a sensitive area where it's life and death decision. Who's
- 24:45Speaker 1: making the decision that there should be only two in
- 24:48Speaker 1: the tower and When four should have been there and
- 24:50Speaker 1: you're letting the other two go home early.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Right. And it might have saved two lives. In this case,
- 24:55Speaker 2: it may have saved two lives. But you're right. The
- 24:57Speaker 2: most ridiculous part of this is that the union came
- 25:01Speaker 2: back and said, oh, this happens all the time. What
- 25:04Speaker 2: are you talking about? This is standard operating procedure. That's
- 25:07Speaker 2: the worst argument in the world.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I mean, we have seen, remember, they decided to move.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Newark International Airport had such horrific problems. Because somebody in
- 25:19Speaker 1: the Biden administration, Buttigieg, Buttigieg, Buttigieg, decided to move the
- 25:24Speaker 1: center of air traffic control down in Philadelphia, remember? Yeah.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Instead of keeping it there in Newark. And you had
- 25:31Speaker 1: all kinds of delays and there were problems and near misses.
- 25:36Speaker 1: And finally, our transportation secretary, who happens to be from
- 25:40Speaker 1: New Jersey, said, Well, you know, part of the problem
- 25:42Speaker 1: was that Buttigieg, Buttigieg, Buttigieg, I want to be president
- 25:45Speaker 1: over my dead body, decided in order to cut costs,
- 25:50Speaker 1: we'll have the air traffic control center in Philadelphia to
- 25:53Speaker 1: monitor all the flights coming in and out of Newark.
- 25:55Speaker 1: You say to yourself, how crazy is that? Yeah, I know.
- 25:58Speaker 2: And then they didn't put in the optic lines. I mean,
- 26:00Speaker 2: there was, it was huge problems. Buttigieg, I can't believe
- 26:04Speaker 2: that guy wants to run for president. There were other
- 26:07Speaker 2: problems in the sky. Listen to this one. Marine One,
- 26:11Speaker 2: which is the helicopter, coming into Washington, D.C., tries to
- 26:16Speaker 2: call air traffic control to make sure everything's secure. And
- 26:20Speaker 2: this is what happened.
- 26:21Speaker 1: I can't hear Marine One.
- 26:22Speaker 7: If you hear Marine One, can you let me know?
- 26:25Speaker 1: They couldn't.
- 26:26Speaker 2: The communication was dead. Communication was down because they were
- 26:29Speaker 2: doing some construction.
- 26:31Speaker 1: They were doing some construction.
- 26:33Speaker 2: And so Marine One couldn't get information on whether it
- 26:37Speaker 2: was secure to land. And they're saying that this– another
- 26:41Speaker 2: time they're saying, oh, this happens all the time. It happens–
- 26:45Speaker 2: that's not an excuse and it's not constructive. You have
- 26:49Speaker 2: to fix these problems. If you knew it happened all
- 26:53Speaker 2: the time, it's on you at that point.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Well, remember at– I think it was either Reagan National
- 26:59Speaker 1: or it was at Dulles. Remember the helicopter pilot who
- 27:04Speaker 1: came too close and then crashed? because of a lack
- 27:08Speaker 1: of proper communication, you know, as they were tailing an
- 27:11Speaker 1: airline flight. I mean, it is so congested in D.C.
- 27:15Speaker 1: around Reagan National Airport. It's such a small airport to
- 27:19Speaker 1: begin with.
- 27:19Speaker 2: You know why a lot of it's congested? Because those
- 27:22Speaker 2: fat cats at the Pentagon who take military planes to
- 27:25Speaker 2: fly over the airport instead of putting their rear ends
- 27:28Speaker 2: in a in a limo or a car and driving
- 27:31Speaker 2: over there. That's why it's so congested. You can talk
- 27:34Speaker 2: to the people that work down there. That's half of
- 27:36Speaker 2: the things they do, is taking people back and forth
- 27:39Speaker 2: from the airport to the Pentagon.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Drive. Get a driver. Now, remember, there's two stories affecting
- 27:47Speaker 1: Las Vegas. One has to do with an airline, but
- 27:49Speaker 1: I want to get this in quickly because... You focused
- 27:52Speaker 1: on this. Remember that crazy guy in Philly who was
- 27:54Speaker 1: stalking women with that mask on? And then that black woman,
- 27:58Speaker 1: I call her SWA, Sister With Attitude, wasn't going to
- 28:00Speaker 1: have it no more. Threw a reverse kick, knocked him out.
- 28:04Speaker 1: The guy fled. They didn't catch him. Guess where they
- 28:07Speaker 1: caught up to him in? He was so terrified, he
- 28:10Speaker 1: fled to Vegas. They just nailed him in Vegas. I do.
- 28:13Speaker 2: I saw that. Here's the other story. A cargo plane
- 28:17Speaker 2: catching fire. This is from Las Vegas as it landed
- 28:20Speaker 2: at Los Angeles International Airport. This happened just last night.
- 28:25Speaker 2: DHL and the FAA says the brakes on the Boeing
- 28:30Speaker 2: 737 malfunctioned on landing. And here's what the ATC saw.
- 28:35Speaker 2: I don't know if we blew a tire, but it
- 28:37Speaker 2: feels like the brakes locked up. Yeah, it does feel
- 28:41Speaker 2: like the brakes locked up. And you know what happens
- 28:42Speaker 2: when the brakes locked up?
- 28:44Speaker 8: You do have a small fire.
- 28:53Speaker 2: So the brakes lock up and it causes a fire
- 28:56Speaker 2: almost immediately. Again, this is not the first time this happened, apparently.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Did you hear how calm they were? Looks like your
- 29:04Speaker 2: brakes locked up. You got a small fire down there
- 29:07Speaker 2: on the thing. That, again, is a major problem that's
- 29:11Speaker 2: not being addressed. All three of these problems in the
- 29:15Speaker 2: air that we've been talking about, the air traffic controllers
- 29:18Speaker 2: not being there on time, construction causing communication delays that
- 29:23Speaker 2: almost caused a major accident again at Ronald Reagan International,
- 29:28Speaker 2: and another problem with Marine One, and this. If you know,
- 29:33Speaker 2: that's what gets me about this. If you know that
- 29:36Speaker 2: these are continuing problems, then it's on you. Then it's
- 29:41Speaker 2: on the FAA. Then it's on the airlines. It's not
- 29:44Speaker 2: on these pilots and air traffic controllers. It's on them.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Well, speaking of air traffic controllers, we can never forget
- 29:51Speaker 1: what happened on 9-11 25 years ago, the commemoration this
- 29:53Speaker 1: year The president was scheduled to be in New York City.
- 29:58Speaker 1: He's chosen instead to be at the Pentagon commemoration. We'll
- 30:03Speaker 1: give you an update on that next.
- 30:08Speaker 2: And I want to talk to you about LifeVac. I
- 30:12Speaker 2: believe so much in this product. You've heard me talk
- 30:15Speaker 2: about it all the time. And the reason I talk
- 30:17Speaker 2: about it all the time is because I know it
- 30:21Speaker 2: saves lives. It saved lives in our area. It saves
- 30:26Speaker 2: lives across the world. And it saved a life just
- 30:29Speaker 2: about a week and a half ago out west. It
- 30:32Speaker 2: was a patrol car that had a life vac in
- 30:34Speaker 2: the patrol car when he got a call about a three-year-old,
- 30:38Speaker 2: a three-year-old that was choking. He got there, he applied
- 30:43Speaker 2: the life vac, and a life was saved, and a
- 30:45Speaker 2: life gets to continue because of life vac. This happens
- 30:50Speaker 2: all the time. This isn't a one-off story. 6,000 lives
- 30:56Speaker 2: worldwide have been saved by LifeVac. Again, that's not a
- 31:00Speaker 2: number that we're just throwing out there. Those are real people,
- 31:05Speaker 2: real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
- 31:11Speaker 2: tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
- 31:15Speaker 2: So do yourself a favor and learn more about LifeVac
- 31:18Speaker 2: today at LifeVac.net. That's lifevac.net. Lifevac.net. And see how you
- 31:26Speaker 2: can be ready the next time it really counts.
- 31:29Speaker 1: So already, Larry, people are trying to make something out
- 31:33Speaker 1: of what is really just something in the past that
- 31:36Speaker 1: has been done by a president or a vice president
- 31:39Speaker 1: serving our country, Democrat or Republican. Originally, it was scheduled
- 31:43Speaker 1: that President Donald Trump would be in attendance at the
- 31:46Speaker 1: 25th commemoration of the attack on 9-11. downtown Manhattan. They
- 31:52Speaker 1: had decided it would be better for him to be
- 31:54Speaker 1: at the Pentagon. He will give a speech, which you
- 31:58Speaker 1: can do at the Pentagon. Presidents have done that before.
- 32:01Speaker 1: When you're at the commemoration in lower Manhattan, there are
- 32:04Speaker 1: no speeches. I remember originally, Larry, and it was pretty ridiculous.
- 32:08Speaker 1: They had the officials who would attend, the elected officials,
- 32:12Speaker 1: read either a poem or some statement from some document
- 32:18Speaker 1: in history. And I think the families came to the
- 32:21Speaker 1: conclusion along with the museum people that was put together
- 32:25Speaker 1: by former mayor, Michael Bloomberg. Now just stand there silently, uh, commemorate, uh,
- 32:30Speaker 1: the anniversary. Obviously this one, the 25th, the big one.
- 32:33Speaker 1: So with, uh, Donald Trump going to the Pentagon, he
- 32:37Speaker 1: will be replaced by vice president Vance. And the interest
- 32:40Speaker 1: now is in what will the queue look like? Because
- 32:44Speaker 1: they all stand together. Generally it's Michael Bloomberg, the former
- 32:47Speaker 1: mayor in the middle. because he has funded the museum.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I would assume that Vice President Vance stands next to him.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Where will Schumer be? You're going to have Obama's going
- 32:58Speaker 1: to be there, Bush 43. And of course, the mayor
- 33:00Speaker 1: has said he will be there. So what will the
- 33:03Speaker 1: queue look like? And remember, they cannot speak at this event.
- 33:07Speaker 1: They just stand there as the family members come up
- 33:11Speaker 1: and start reading the names on the rolls. They go
- 33:14Speaker 1: for a few hours.
- 33:15Speaker 2: When I hear something about what will the queue look like,
- 33:18Speaker 2: I think these poor staffers, because that's going to be
- 33:21Speaker 2: on them. They're the ones that have to have these conversations.
- 33:24Speaker 2: And then they have to go back and be told, no,
- 33:27Speaker 2: that's not good enough. And then they have to have
- 33:30Speaker 2: another conversation. And you'd think on a day like this,
- 33:33Speaker 2: who cares? Who cares where you are? As long as
- 33:36Speaker 2: you're there.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 33:38Speaker 2: I don't get it at all. By the way, I
- 33:40Speaker 2: was busy last night because I have some maps in
- 33:43Speaker 2: our basement down in the wall.
- 33:45Speaker 1: You're a map guy, huh?
- 33:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I was crossing out Ontario and the Great Lakes
- 33:50Speaker 2: and writing in America because I'm not sure I'll be
- 33:52Speaker 2: able to ever buy one. But I don't know if
- 33:54Speaker 2: you heard. Yeah, it's now Lake America. It's not Lake
- 33:58Speaker 2: Ontario anymore.
- 33:59Speaker 11: And finally, I guess the purpose of this more than
- 34:02Speaker 11: anything else is we're going to be changing the name
- 34:05Speaker 11: of Lake Ontario. Effective immediately to Lake America. That's going
- 34:11Speaker 11: to take place right now as I sign the order.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Don't ask me.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you are the official map makers? Now,
- 34:20Speaker 1: this is an executive order. So regardless of what your
- 34:23Speaker 1: opinion is, any new maps, if this stays in effect,
- 34:28Speaker 1: would have to reflect the executive order. Remember the Gulf
- 34:33Speaker 1: of Mexico? He declared we were having a problem with Mexico,
- 34:36Speaker 1: the Gulf of America. I don't know if that's reflected
- 34:39Speaker 1: on the maps. And recently he said the Straits of
- 34:41Speaker 1: Hormuz will be a territory of the United States, you know,
- 34:44Speaker 1: like Guam. I understand this is the president being the president,
- 34:51Speaker 1: but I don't think anybody is going to start referring
- 34:55Speaker 1: to Lake Ontario as Lake America.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Just ain't going to happen. It is amazing to me.
- 35:03Speaker 2: You know, I just Googled it. I did an AI
- 35:06Speaker 2: search on Google because when you said that about the
- 35:09Speaker 2: Gulf of America, I thought, did anybody really change it?
- 35:12Speaker 1: And it says yes.
- 35:14Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Google Maps says Gulf of America for users located in
- 35:19Speaker 2: the United States. If you're outside of the United States,
- 35:23Speaker 2: it says Gulf of Mexico.
- 35:24Speaker 10: Now, interesting.
- 35:24Speaker 1: When I was in Bahrain in Dubai, I was giving speeches. And,
- 35:28Speaker 1: you know, you have mostly Sunnis. The minority is Shias.
- 35:32Speaker 1: The Shias refer to it as the Persian Gulf, right?
- 35:36Speaker 1: Persian Gulf. The Sunnis refer to it as the Arabian Gulf. Oh,
- 35:40Speaker 1: that's funny. Their maps reflect that. Now, naturally, we accept
- 35:45Speaker 1: it as the Persian Gulf. It's been the Persian Gulf
- 35:47Speaker 1: for like forever. But they'll get into those nuances. So
- 35:51Speaker 1: in Bahrain, we have our naval, big naval base in
- 35:54Speaker 1: the Middle East. And they have to be, they have
- 35:58Speaker 1: to reflect that on the map. Both, both names. Both
- 36:02Speaker 1: names so as to not to offend the Sunnis or
- 36:05Speaker 1: the Shias.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Now, so if you want to know as a journalist,
- 36:09Speaker 2: and I'm sure Derry has already looked at this. If
- 36:11Speaker 2: you want to know as a journalist what you should
- 36:14Speaker 2: be saying now, if it's the Gulf of Mexico or
- 36:17Speaker 2: the Gulf of America, where do you go? You go
- 36:19Speaker 2: to the AP Style Guide. Guess what they say? Golf
- 36:23Speaker 2: of Mexico. They are not going along. And I don't
- 36:28Speaker 2: think they're going to do Lake America either. I think
- 36:33Speaker 2: the map members, Google's smart politically because they need some money.
- 36:37Speaker 2: AP doesn't need the money. And AP is saying, nope,
- 36:41Speaker 2: we're not going to make that change. Well, when we
- 36:45Speaker 2: come back, Curtis, what are we doing when we come back?
- 36:47Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy, the jury has been charged. The mother who
- 36:51Speaker 1: killed her three children. We'll break it down to you
- 36:54Speaker 1: up next. But first, the news at seven. So all
- 36:58Speaker 1: eyes were riveted to the closing remarks yesterday in that courthouse.
- 37:02Speaker 1: I believe it was Plymouth, Massachusetts. Yes, it actually spent time.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Plymouth Rock when I was a kid. It's really kept
- 37:10Speaker 1: the old traditions of Americana alive, and it really looked
- 37:14Speaker 1: like one of these old courthouse scenes. As you saw
- 37:18Speaker 1: the defense attorney making his closing remarks in defense of
- 37:23Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy, who sat very stoically there, who is being
- 37:28Speaker 1: charged with the murder of three of her young children.
- 37:34Speaker 1: And then the prosecutor's closing remarks, and she really bore
- 37:38Speaker 1: down on Lindsay Clancy saying this was premeditated, this was
- 37:43Speaker 1: not a result of psychiatric, psychotropic drugs that she had
- 37:48Speaker 1: been prescribed, that this was cold, calculated, and she even
- 37:54Speaker 1: planned to have her husband away when she used the
- 37:58Speaker 1: stretch materials that you use when you're doing exercises to
- 38:03Speaker 1: basically strangle all three of her children. One of the jurors,
- 38:08Speaker 1: we couldn't see it, but it was explained to us
- 38:10Speaker 1: by court observers who were giving us the descriptions, was
- 38:14Speaker 1: actually crying when the prosecutor made her closing remarks to
- 38:19Speaker 1: the jury. They deliberated briefly. They went home. They will
- 38:23Speaker 1: return today. And, Larry, they have different levels of potential
- 38:28Speaker 1: guilt to find her responsible of. And there's one point
- 38:34Speaker 1: there that when it was mentioned to the jury by
- 38:36Speaker 1: the judge of their options, I was saying to myself, oh,
- 38:40Speaker 1: my God, this is what John Hinckley Jr. was found
- 38:44Speaker 1: guilty of. Insanity. Remember when he attempted to kill Ronald Reagan? Right.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Shot so many others. And instead of being incarcerated or
- 38:55Speaker 1: even sent to a mental institution, the hospital, Elizabeth Hospital
- 39:00Speaker 1: in D.C., and then once you're deemed to be sane again,
- 39:03Speaker 1: you go to prison. No, he was released. We now
- 39:07Speaker 1: see that Hinckley from time to time is scheduled to
- 39:09Speaker 1: do little castros, little concerts at little bistros and cafes
- 39:15Speaker 1: across America. And potentially that's one of the charges that
- 39:19Speaker 1: The jury can conclude that she was guilty of, and
- 39:23Speaker 1: that is that she was mentally incapacitated at the time
- 39:27Speaker 1: she committed these murders.
- 39:29Speaker 2: I'll tell you the difference. between Hinckley and her. First
- 39:32Speaker 2: of all, these were three murders, not an attempted murder. Big,
- 39:37Speaker 2: huge difference. These were her kids. Listen, she is saying
- 39:44Speaker 2: that she had post-mortem depression and psychosis and that she
- 39:50Speaker 2: was going through something. The husband didn't know much about that.
- 39:54Speaker 2: They waited for her husband to leave and then took
- 39:58Speaker 2: the kids in the basement and one by one strangled
- 40:02Speaker 2: them before she threw herself out of a window to
- 40:06Speaker 2: try to kill herself. Does that sound like it wasn't premeditated?
- 40:11Speaker 2: Does that sound like a crazy person when you wait
- 40:14Speaker 2: for your husband to leave so you can kill your children?
- 40:17Speaker 2: And by the way, I hope you said there was
- 40:19Speaker 2: a woman on there. I hope it's a mother because
- 40:22Speaker 2: there's no mother in the world that wouldn't convict this person.
- 40:27Speaker 1: I wish they had.
- 40:31Speaker 2: The death penalty in Massachusetts because this woman apparently wanted
- 40:35Speaker 2: to die. They should grant her her wish. They'd be
- 40:38Speaker 2: doing her a favor. Because if she truly had a
- 40:43Speaker 2: moment of psychosis that apparently she's over with now, but
- 40:46Speaker 2: she had a moment of psychosis, postpartum psychosis, and she
- 40:53Speaker 2: killed her own children, I'm sure at this point she
- 40:55Speaker 2: would want to die. Because what mother wouldn't? But when
- 40:59Speaker 2: you see her in the courtroom, when you watch.
- 41:02Speaker 1: This, I.
- 41:05Speaker 2: I couldn't be a juror on this case because I
- 41:09Speaker 2: am so filled with hate for this woman that it
- 41:12Speaker 2: would be difficult for me to give an objective verdict.
- 41:18Speaker 2: And I would imagine that there's a lot of people
- 41:21Speaker 2: sitting on that jury that are looking at her and
- 41:25Speaker 2: all they see is somebody that murdered her own children.
- 41:29Speaker 2: And so at the end of this, if life is fair,
- 41:32Speaker 2: she gets life in prison. And if life is fair,
- 41:36Speaker 2: since she wanted to kill herself and she killed her
- 41:38Speaker 2: three children and she claims she wanted to be with them,
- 41:43Speaker 2: maybe they should leave her alone for a couple of
- 41:45Speaker 2: hours so she can off herself.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you'd have to recuse yourself. That's for sure.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Nine women and three men. And again, I'm thinking if
- 41:55Speaker 1: I am the defense. I'm looking at that juror who
- 41:59Speaker 1: was crying when the prosecutor, the prosecutor was really drilling down.
- 42:03Speaker 1: She was not showing any empathy or sympathy. She pretty
- 42:05Speaker 1: much had the same demeanor that you've just had in
- 42:09Speaker 1: making your plea to our audience about her guilt. Remember,
- 42:15Speaker 1: hung jury. All you need is one person for a
- 42:18Speaker 1: mistrial hung jury. It's been a lot of testimony, a
- 42:22Speaker 1: lot of what I find difficult. to accept when you're
- 42:27Speaker 1: talking about not guilty by reason of insanity, and they're saying, well,
- 42:32Speaker 1: she was pumped full of drugs. She had a lot
- 42:34Speaker 1: of drugs that were prescribed to her, but when they
- 42:38Speaker 1: actually searched her home, her medicine cabinet, she took such
- 42:43Speaker 1: a small fraction of them. Many of them were not
- 42:45Speaker 1: even opened up. They had been delivered, but they were
- 42:48Speaker 1: never even opened up. So she wasn't even taking that.
- 42:52Speaker 1: That was a lie. Yeah, prescribed. But again, when you say...
- 42:56Speaker 1: Within four months, she had 13 different medicines prescribed to her,
- 43:01Speaker 1: 32 separate prescriptions. Some of them are psychiatric drugs, sleep aids,
- 43:07Speaker 1: anti-anxiety meds. If you just exclude what you've been told
- 43:12Speaker 1: that when they searched the home, she just used a
- 43:15Speaker 1: small fraction of them, didn't even open up some of
- 43:17Speaker 1: the prescriptions that, you know, get delivered to your home.
- 43:20Speaker 1: And then you put it in your medicine cabinet and
- 43:22Speaker 1: you're supposed to take it according to the prescription.
- 43:24Speaker 10: Got it.
- 43:25Speaker 1: They hadn't even been opened up. So I would say
- 43:27Speaker 1: right there, oh, wait a second, there goes that defense.
- 43:30Speaker 1: So you have, as you had pointed out, jury number
- 43:34Speaker 1: one decision could be guilty, first-degree murder, life, no parole.
- 43:39Speaker 1: The judge threw in there something that sort of gave
- 43:42Speaker 1: a lifeline to the jury in case they didn't want
- 43:44Speaker 1: to put her away forever, manslaughter, which would be voluntary,
- 43:49Speaker 1: which you get when it's like a sudden fight. You know,
- 43:52Speaker 1: you're outside of a bar restaurant. You have a sudden
- 43:54Speaker 1: fight with somebody, they hit their head, they die. That's
- 43:57Speaker 1: voluntary manslaughter. Involuntary, they could find her guilty of that.
- 44:03Speaker 1: That would be a maximum of 20 years. Not criminally responsible,
- 44:08Speaker 1: the insanity defense or the hung jury. It will be
- 44:12Speaker 1: interesting in the deliberations if they send any notes out or...
- 44:18Speaker 1: if it really gets very emotional in the jury room.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Well, if life is fair and the jurors are sane,
- 44:25Speaker 2: there'll be no notes. It'll be a quick verdict come today.
- 44:28Speaker 2: You just read all of the charges. Let me read
- 44:31Speaker 2: something to you, a more important list to me. She
- 44:35Speaker 2: took her three children into the basement and strangled them
- 44:39Speaker 2: one by one. She, by the way, took them one
- 44:42Speaker 2: by one into the basement and strangled them. Five-year-old Cora said,
- 44:48Speaker 2: three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Five, three, and eight. And
- 44:57Speaker 2: she strangled them to death. So think of yourself, if
- 45:00Speaker 2: you're a mother or you're a father, taking a look
- 45:05Speaker 2: into your child's eyes and strangling them to death.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. She's crazy.
- 45:12Speaker 2: There's something wrong with her. But she should be put
- 45:15Speaker 2: away in prison for the rest of her life. And again,
- 45:17Speaker 2: you know, this.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Is the— it' s.
- 45:20Speaker 2: Cases like this one that you have the death penalty
- 45:24Speaker 2: for something like this. This is a person that wanted
- 45:26Speaker 2: to die anyway. I have no— not an ounce of sympathy
- 45:32Speaker 2: for this woman. I understand, and I've seen people go
- 45:35Speaker 2: through postpartum depression.
- 45:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 45:36Speaker 2: And I understand it exists.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Well, we had two cases nowhere near— as severe as
- 45:43Speaker 1: this because of the number of children involved. But I
- 45:46Speaker 1: remember there was a woman who took her child to
- 45:48Speaker 1: the falls in Patterson. You could turn your child into
- 45:52Speaker 1: a local police precinct or a firehouse if you were
- 45:55Speaker 1: in need. And she chose instead to throw that child
- 45:59Speaker 1: over the falls. And then she was fully prosecuted. I
- 46:01Speaker 1: forget what the outcome of that case was. And then
- 46:04Speaker 1: more recently in Coney Island, we had a woman who
- 46:07Speaker 1: clearly was emotionally disturbed who took her child, it may
- 46:11Speaker 1: have been children, out into the ocean in Coney Island
- 46:14Speaker 1: and drowned them. And then, obviously, she was committed for observation.
- 46:19Speaker 1: And I don't know how that case was adjudicated. But
- 46:24Speaker 1: this one was a case that the whole world was watching,
- 46:27Speaker 1: the whole nation. Three children, five and under. Three children, five.
- 46:32Speaker 1: That's all this jury should be thinking about. They should
- 46:35Speaker 1: have those pictures in there with them. Yep.
- 46:38Speaker 2: That's all they should be thinking about. No, I don't
- 46:40Speaker 2: know what our audience is going to say about this.
- 46:43Speaker 2: I can just imagine. But go ahead and leave us
- 46:47Speaker 2: a talk back because we would love to get your
- 46:49Speaker 2: take on this. Maybe there's somebody that can explain to me.
- 46:53Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to be able to. But
- 46:54Speaker 2: maybe there's somebody that can explain to me, no, the
- 46:56Speaker 2: psychosis after postpartum can be that deep that you can
- 47:00Speaker 2: do evil things.
- 47:03Speaker 1: This evil?
- 47:04Speaker 2: To your own children, I won't argue with you. If
- 47:07Speaker 2: you have some information, you go ahead and leave it.
- 47:10Speaker 2: You go to the iHeartRadio app and you look for
- 47:12Speaker 2: the talkback section. And remember that the best talkback of
- 47:16Speaker 2: the day gets a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in
- 47:19Speaker 2: the morning t-shirt. And don't forget, the best talkback of
- 47:23Speaker 2: the week takes on the C-Crane Radio. C-Crane Radio has
- 47:25Speaker 2: delivered the reception and clarity you deserve. When we come back, Hey,
- 47:32Speaker 2: do you have a will for your cats?
- 47:36Speaker 1: No, but I think Nancy does. Does she? Yeah. If,
- 47:39Speaker 1: God forbid, anything happened to her, ain't nothing coming to me.
- 47:42Speaker 1: It's going to the cats. Well, let's talk to Ann-Margaret
- 47:47Speaker 1: Carozza about that. Maybe she can help you with her problems.
- 47:50Speaker 2: She is the host of The Laws of Your Money
- 47:53Speaker 2: with Ann-Margaret Carozza, and this is what she specializes in.
- 47:57Speaker 2: She might be able to represent you. That's coming up next.
- 48:01Speaker 11: Comment.
- 48:02Speaker 2: We're happy to have one of our favorite people, Ann-Margaret Carrozza,
- 48:05Speaker 2: host of The Laws of Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza,
- 48:08Speaker 2: Sundays on WOR at 1030 in the morning. Ann-Margaret Carrozza,
- 48:15Speaker 2: and I'm sure you already know who she is, but
- 48:16Speaker 2: just in case, she's considered the best asset protection attorney
- 48:21Speaker 2: who served for 14 years as a New York State legislator,
- 48:25Speaker 2: where she chaired the Trust Reform Committee. task force so
- 48:30Speaker 2: if you want somebody on your side that is the
- 48:32Speaker 2: person and let me tell you and margaret first of
- 48:34Speaker 2: all thank you so much thanks for coming in guys
- 48:37Speaker 2: uh curtis really needs you because curtis has got a
- 48:40Speaker 2: problem uh when it comes to pets and i know
- 48:43Speaker 2: that's what we're talking about today they have 14 cats
- 48:46Speaker 2: and really and his wife says if she were to
- 48:49Speaker 2: go first cats get.
- 48:51Speaker 1: Everything everything the uh matriarch who is athena the patriarch
- 48:56Speaker 1: apollo and all the other cats She goes, you don't
- 48:58Speaker 1: get a nickel, dime, or penny. Oh, dear.
- 49:01Speaker 11: Okay.
- 49:02Speaker 12: Well, this is a huge issue, guys. 66% of us
- 49:10Speaker 12: have a furry family member, right? And we love these
- 49:14Speaker 12: creatures in many cases more than we love our human relatives.
- 49:19Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 49:20Speaker 12: Whenever I sit down with someone to make a will,
- 49:23Speaker 12: to make a trust, I ask them, do you have
- 49:27Speaker 12: a pet? And how are we providing for that pet?
- 49:31Speaker 12: You can't just wing it. And especially if we live alone,
- 49:37Speaker 12: we want to think about making provisions in the event
- 49:41Speaker 12: that I have a medical issue. I want to put
- 49:45Speaker 12: the contact name and number on the refrigerator of who
- 49:49Speaker 12: the paramedic should call because you know, Curtis, you have cats.
- 49:54Speaker 12: When strangers come in the door with a stretcher, those
- 49:58Speaker 12: cats are going to hide and they might not even
- 50:01Speaker 12: know that there are cats that live in that house.
- 50:04Speaker 12: So paramedics are trained to look at the refrigerator. to
- 50:09Speaker 12: find out who my emergency contact is to make.
- 50:13Speaker 7: Health care decisions.
- 50:14Speaker 12: But we should also have the pet care person there
- 50:18Speaker 12: as well.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Yeah, you are exactly right. The moment they hear a stranger,
- 50:23Speaker 1: all the cats immediately dive into a closet under the bed,
- 50:27Speaker 1: under the couch. You would never know that there were
- 50:31Speaker 1: cats there unless you saw a bowl there of food
- 50:33Speaker 1: or water.
- 50:34Speaker 10: That's it.
- 50:35Speaker 12: So you have to put a plan in place. And
- 50:37Speaker 12: I know many seniors that I work with who would
- 50:41Speaker 12: benefit from the companionship of.
- 50:44Speaker 7: A pet, lower blood pressure.
- 50:46Speaker 12: It helps deter criminals when we're talking about a dog.
- 50:50Speaker 12: But they say, I don't want to adopt a pet
- 50:53Speaker 12: at this point because I will outlive the pet and
- 50:56Speaker 12: it's not fair to the pet. But in all 50
- 50:59Speaker 12: states now, We can put provisions into place to protect
- 51:05Speaker 12: the pet when we are gone. That is a pet
- 51:10Speaker 12: care trust. You don't have to fund it now. And
- 51:15Speaker 12: for people who don't have the money to go to
- 51:18Speaker 12: an attorney to have this set up for like $ 2, 500,
- 51:20Speaker 12: I have it free on my website.
- 51:23Speaker 13: Wow.
- 51:24Speaker 12: What's the website again?
- 51:26Speaker 1: It's mylawyerann.com.
- 51:31Speaker 12: There's a section for free forms. Download this pet care trust,
- 51:36Speaker 12: fill in the names. You can get a tax ID
- 51:40Speaker 12: number for this trust, and it can then be named
- 51:44Speaker 12: as the beneficiary of a little bank account or of
- 51:49Speaker 12: a little life insurance policy. So upon my death, The
- 51:53Speaker 12: money goes into this trust where I have laid out
- 51:57Speaker 12: instructions for the care, the vet contact information, and I
- 52:03Speaker 12: really have a plan in place.
- 52:05Speaker 2: That's so wonderful you're doing that. I can't imagine or
- 52:08Speaker 2: I can imagine that a lot of people that come
- 52:10Speaker 2: into you and they want to do estate planning. They've
- 52:13Speaker 2: never thought of any of this, about putting their pets
- 52:17Speaker 2: into their estate plan. I'm sure some do, you know,
- 52:20Speaker 2: real big pet people. But, you know, if you have
- 52:22Speaker 2: a family and you think to yourself, oh my God,
- 52:24Speaker 2: if something were to happen, what's going to happen to
- 52:26Speaker 2: the pets? That's one of the last things they think of. Exactly.
- 52:30Speaker 12: And, you know, we all know about the Leona case,
- 52:33Speaker 12: Leona Helmsley, when she left $ 7 million to her Maltese,
- 52:38Speaker 12: and then there was a family feud. But For most
- 52:42Speaker 12: of us, when we're presented with a reasonable option, we
- 52:46Speaker 12: do want to make provisions for them.
- 52:48Speaker 1: You know what I learned about this, Ann-Margaret Carosa? I
- 52:51Speaker 1: went up to the Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, where they
- 52:54Speaker 1: have these tremendous monuments to pets. And I went inside,
- 52:58Speaker 1: and there are always people inside the office. And they
- 53:01Speaker 1: explained to me how people had bequeathed money to their pets,
- 53:05Speaker 1: that there were all kinds of monuments to their pets.
- 53:09Speaker 1: that in many instances the pets had outlived the people
- 53:13Speaker 1: who were caring for them, and that there were other caretakers,
- 53:17Speaker 1: and part of that demand was that they be buried
- 53:20Speaker 1: in the Hartsdale Cemetery. I was amazed at how much
- 53:24Speaker 1: care and how much concern people had for their pets
- 53:28Speaker 1: for their aftercare, even when that person was no longer there.
- 53:33Speaker 12: Absolutely, and I think it's becoming more We have a
- 53:36Speaker 12: number of states that have bills pending to give a
- 53:40Speaker 12: tax credit for the care and feeding of animals. Right now,
- 53:44Speaker 12: it's only service animals or if you're fostering an animal
- 53:48Speaker 12: that you can deduct some expenses.
- 53:50Speaker 1: So I shouldn't take it personally, right? That my wife
- 53:53Speaker 1: would be pleased with any of her money to all
- 53:56Speaker 1: the cats and basically leave me bupkis.
- 53:58Speaker 7: Well, you know what?
- 53:59Speaker 12: If she does the trust for the cats, you can
- 54:02Speaker 12: build a little air hole that Curtis can also get
- 54:06Speaker 12: some money out of that trust.
- 54:08Speaker 2: Hey, real quickly, when couples break up, Is there a
- 54:11Speaker 2: fight over the pets?
- 54:13Speaker 12: Unfortunately, there often is, and the pet is used as
- 54:16Speaker 12: a bargaining chip in a messy breakup. Most states say
- 54:22Speaker 12: whoever adopted or purchased the pet gets the pet. So
- 54:27Speaker 12: if you want to do something different, you want to
- 54:29Speaker 12: put it in a prenup, a postnup, or a cohabitation agreement.
- 54:34Speaker 2: Ann-Margaret Carrozza, thank you so much. By the way, you

- 55:03Speaker 2: Well, you've already been told that. It's not going to
- 55:06Speaker 2: be a huge surprise. Maybe you should hire Ann-Margaret Carrozza. Oh.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Speaking of that, now we have the news with Daria
- 55:17Speaker 1: at 7.30. Morning, guys.
- 55:18Speaker 7: Partly sunny and muggy today. Chance for an afternoon shower.
- 55:21Speaker 7: We'll see a high of 82 degrees. It's time to
- 55:24Speaker 7: change the geography textbooks.
- 55:25Speaker 4: We're going to be.
- 55:27Speaker 11: Changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately to Lake America.
- 55:34Speaker 11: That's going to take place right now as I sign
- 55:36Speaker 11: the order.
- 55:38Speaker 7: President Trump signing that executive order as a trade war
- 55:41Speaker 7: with Canada continues to intensify. He was sitting in front
- 55:44Speaker 7: of a map that read, making the Great Lakes even greater.
- 55:47Speaker 7: Now the Canadian government says it doesn't change a thing.
- 55:49Speaker 7: It's still Lake Ontario, always will be. New York Governor
- 55:52Speaker 7: Kathy Hochul agrees. The FBI is offering $ 25, 000 for information
- 55:57Speaker 7: leading to the arrest of Jesus Acosta. Police believe he's
- 56:00Speaker 7: behind two fatal shootings, one at a bodega in the Bronx,
- 56:03Speaker 7: the other at a fast food restaurant in Brooklyn. If
- 56:06Speaker 7: you have information about either case, you're asked to call
- 56:08Speaker 7: Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. New Yorkers will be in D.C.
- 56:14Speaker 7: today to rally against President Trump's changes to mail-in voting laws.
- 56:18Speaker 14: A number of buses left from the National Action Network
- 56:20Speaker 14: headquarters in Harlem earlier with New Yorkers protesting against Trump's
- 56:24Speaker 14: attempt to track mail-in ballots. possibly reject some that are
- 56:28Speaker 14: not on the federal list of eligible voters.
- 56:30Speaker 1: So we are going there to basically preserve the dream.
- 56:33Speaker 9: I mean, Dr.
- 56:34Speaker 1: King had the dream.
- 56:35Speaker 2: There's a lot of people out here right now trying
- 56:37Speaker 2: to kill the dream.
- 56:38Speaker 14: A federal judge on Thursday blocked a postal service regulation
- 56:41Speaker 14: to exert control over mail-in ballots. This is leading up
- 56:44Speaker 14: to the midterm elections. The judge ruled the regulation is
- 56:47Speaker 14: likely unlawful because the federal government cannot interfere with elections
- 56:50Speaker 14: without congressional permission. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 56:54Speaker 7: Twitter is back. A new social network with that name
- 56:56Speaker 7: is looking for early access users. And no, it's not
- 56:59Speaker 7: affiliated in any way, shape, or form with X, the
- 57:02Speaker 7: company that's owned by Elon Musk, which used to be
- 57:04Speaker 7: called Twitter. Yankees and Mets both lose. Jets and Giants
- 57:08Speaker 7: will meet tonight. It's the last game of the NFL
- 57:10Speaker 7: preseason for them. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
- 57:13Speaker 7: I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 57:16Speaker 1: Up next, our own Rob Astorino and his buddy Mike
- 57:19Speaker 1: Lawler is in a neck-and-neck race to keep his congressional seat,
- 57:23Speaker 1: and it may come down to the AI data filing
- 57:27Speaker 1: center that they want to put up in Orangetown. That's right,
- 57:31Speaker 1: right in the district. We'll break it down for you
- 57:34Speaker 1: up next with Rob. In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen,
- 57:37Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I've already told you my
- 57:39Speaker 1: favorite teacher of all time was Alan Topol at PS114,
- 57:43Speaker 1: my fifth-grade teacher. I never took a day off, and
- 57:46Speaker 1: I was always looking to take days off, but teachers
- 57:48Speaker 1: make a difference. Each and every day. Now's your chance
- 57:53Speaker 1: to say thanks. iHeartRadio's Thank You Teachers, powered by DonorsChoose.
- 57:58Speaker 1: Nominated outstanding public school teacher who goes above and beyond
- 58:02Speaker 1: for students. They could be one of our $ 5, 000 winners
- 58:05Speaker 1: for classroom supplies and resources. Teachers give so much. Now
- 58:10Speaker 1: it's our turn to give back. Nominated teacher now at
- 58:13Speaker 1: iHeartRadio.com slash teachers. On the line right now, Rob Estorino,
- 58:18Speaker 1: former county executive, Westchester, ran against Andrew Cuomo, gave him
- 58:24Speaker 1: the race of his life for governor and gave great
- 58:26Speaker 1: advice to Bruce Blakeman a few weeks ago when he said,
- 58:31Speaker 1: keep your powder dry. Don't be so quick to support
- 58:35Speaker 1: the development of the AI data filing centers based on
- 58:39Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul declaring a moratorium. And boy, right in your
- 58:43Speaker 1: backyard with your buddy Mike Lawler in that neck-and-neck race
- 58:47Speaker 1: to keep his congressional seat against the Democratic challenger Kate Conley.
- 58:51Speaker 1: All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Rob, this issue
- 58:54Speaker 1: has become one of the big issues. The AI data
- 58:59Speaker 1: filing center that they want to build right in the Orangetown,
- 59:02Speaker 1: Orangeburg area that would feed all of that data to Manhattan.
- 59:08Speaker 4: Well, don't... blame lawler this is not a this is
- 59:12Speaker 4: not a congressional issue this is this is as it
- 59:15Speaker 4: would be throughout new york state local issues so the
- 59:17Speaker 4: town potentially the county um you know there could be
- 59:22Speaker 4: what's called an ida industrial development agency which is Either
- 59:26Speaker 4: towns have it or counties have it to bring in business,
- 59:30Speaker 4: sometimes give tax breaks. You could have like the New
- 59:34Speaker 4: York Power Authority could be involved giving them breaks. So
- 59:37Speaker 4: all of these agencies, which is why to put a
- 59:42Speaker 4: moratorium to figure out how this should work going forward.
- 59:46Speaker 4: You know, look, there's a lot of misinformation, too, about
- 59:50Speaker 4: data centers and there's a lot of fear about them.
- 59:53Speaker 4: I think you got to let the boil go down,
- 59:57Speaker 4: you know, take off the flame a little bit. So people,
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: instead of screaming with pitchforks can understand what it is.
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: And then, then put the rules in, which is why,
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: as you mentioned before, I mean, for Blakeman, if he
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: loses the whole race based on AI data centers and
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: allows focal to get away with this, it would be
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: such a travesty because it's such an emotional issue that
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: people don't really understand yet. And yet, it could be
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: deciding on how they vote so but don't blame lawler.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: You're saying don't blame lawler and because it's not a
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: federal issue yet he said in the debate he wants
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: to make it a federal issue he said there has
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: to be federal oversight over all of this so uh...
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: if he gets his way that's what's going to happen
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: well i.
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: Mean that that's fine so but i'm saying like on
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: this particular issue or these local ones They're not. They're
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: state and local issues. Now, should the federal government get
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: involved in some way? It depends, I think. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: there are national security issues and there are other issues
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: involved with it. But mainly speaking, it's a land use issue.
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: It's a jobs issue for whatever jobs are created by
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: this thing. And there are a host of local issues
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: that i think local governments uh counties and states really
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: need to deal with.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Well last time you were with us rob you freaked
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: out as i freaked out when we got our electricity
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: bills like yeah we can't even repeat the words you
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: said or i said through the roof and i know
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: everybody out there is experiencing that now to his credit
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: mike lawler is saying we need to repower up indian
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: point You know, it's a dormant nuclear power plant that
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: supplied so much of our energy. His opponent, Kate Connolly,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: is saying no. So she has no answer in terms
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: of how to bring down these accelerating electricity energy rates.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: Whereas Mike is coming up with an answer that a
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: lot of people have said, yeah. Why did Cuomo shut
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: that down? It provided like one-third of all of our
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: energy needs, not just Westchester, but Manhattan, throughout the city
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: of New York, and it was clean energy.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: Wait, it's not a state issue. That's not a state issue.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: Well, what's a state issue?
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, right?
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: It's a local issue in that congressional race. Well, they
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: all are issues. Yeah, that's what I'm getting at.
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: I still remember that day very clearly when I found
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: out I think I was listening to the radio. I
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: was in the car going to an event or something,
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: and I heard that Indian Point was being shut down.
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: Cuomo reached a deal with Entergy. It wasn't a deal.
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: It was a mafia deal. It was a deal with
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: a gun to their head. You're going to close this or.
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: And so they had to close it down, and it
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: made zero sense. I remember having a press conference the
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: next day. And I was asking Democrats to come, too,
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: because of not only this issue about rate hikes, which
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: we knew was going to happen, but also environmentally. I mean,
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: his whole thing was skipping all the environmental laws because
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: I can do that. I'm the governor. He had no
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: legal right to do that. And yet all these, quote, environmentalists, including,
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: by the way, Bobby Kennedy. This is the fight he
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: and I had at that time. They were all dead silent.
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: They all said, let's just ignore all the environmental laws,
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: which we've spent our whole life talking about and promoting.
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden they meant nothing. And
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: that's a really bad precedent that could come back at
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: some point, not just what they use for Indian point.
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: But I mean, you didn't have to be, you know,
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: in the smart class to understand that this was going
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: to have enormous consequences. And now we're feeling them.
- 1:03:36Speaker 11: Oh, yes.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Enormous consequences. And it's amazing how everybody is switching their
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: positions now on nuclear power, on fracking, on pipelines, all
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: across the country because they look at a state like, well, Pennsylvania, nearby,
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: that has– low tax, lower taxes, and lower electricity bills
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: because they frack.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: I don't really.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: Understand what the Democrats thought they were doing when they
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: were against that, but slowly, one by one, just over
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: in New Jersey, Mikey Sherrill, three nuclear power plants are
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: going to go up. So it's got to happen here
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: in New York as well.
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: Yeah, and, you know, the stupid windmills that they put
- 1:04:15Speaker 4: in the oceans and everywhere else. I was up in
- 1:04:18Speaker 4: Rhode Island, you know, blue state Rhode Island with all
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: these environmentalists. And you see all these lawn signs, you know,
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: stop the windmills from coming up here.
- 1:04:28Speaker 10: We don't want windmills.
- 1:04:31Speaker 4: It's so funny to watch them when it comes to
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: their backyard, like anything. They're such hypocrites.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: There's no repercussions, though, for that. I mean, to be
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: wrong and wrong and wrong over and over and over again.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Nothing happens at the ballot box.
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: Well, if you're a Democrat, you reward stupidity. And wait,
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: how many times were you wrong? You were only wrong 100?
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: All right, I'll still vote for you. No problem. But
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: the point should be re-fired. It should be fired up again,
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: no question about it.
- 1:05:02Speaker 10: And they can do it.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: Rob Astorino, the number one issue in poll after poll affordability.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: The president is now out on the campaign trail. He's
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: ready to unloosen all the money he has, pack money
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: to help fellow Republicans. What would your advice be to
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: him to address that since so many people have soured
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: on his ability to bring prices down?
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: Well, don't spend a day talking about Lake America. Talk
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: about affordability. Because every day we talk about Lake America,
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: it's a day that the media will just consume. People
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: will roll their eyes and say, I got a blankety-blank
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: Con Ed bill, and I don't care about a lake.
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: And so that's what he's got to focus on. I mean,
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: I know we've got a war going on, too, and
- 1:05:51Speaker 4: he's going to have to deal with that. But if
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: the economic sanctions are what we're going to be using
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: right now, then that'll keep it off the headlines and
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: probably have the same effect, thankfully, without military operations. But
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: that's it, man. Just be on the stump. Just talk
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: about that and let the members of Congress and Senate
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: who are running, that's all they should be focusing on.
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: Because I experienced it when I was county executive. Every
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: day he said something, microphones were put in my face
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: about what he said. And that's not what the Lawlers want.
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: That's not what Mike Lepetri wants or any of these
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: candidates running. They want to deal about their local issues.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Yeah, but Republicans, they do have a good story to
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: tell when it comes to that. They just haven't been
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: able to tell it really well because the amount of
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: money you have to spend is way up. Taxes are
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: way down, so there's more money in people's pockets. Yes,
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: when you go to the grocery store, things may be
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: more expensive, but they also have pharmaceutical prices coming down.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand the strategy right now because
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: I'm not hearing a lot of that.
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: And your investments have gone way up. I mean, everyone's
- 1:06:58Speaker 4: involved in the market in some way, whether it's pensions, 401ks,
- 1:07:02Speaker 4: 529 accounts for college. All of that have gone through
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: the roof, done very, very well. Trump has a really
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: great story to tell. So to the Republicans, tell it
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: and stick to that for the next 70 days.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Although I kind of like the Lake America thing.
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: Lake Euron. We should take Lake Euron. What the hell
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: is that?
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: Well, I do appreciate it. Rob Astorino, you can hear
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: him here on WOR45 on Saturday afternoons. Up next, we
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: got to talk about Zoran Mondami. He gave sympathies to
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: a prisoner on Rikers Island who died at 5 a.m.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: in the morning but was a murderer but never reached
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: out to the family of the original victim. And they're saying,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: what about us, Zoran? What about us? Trump have secured.
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: President was in Texas last night to stump for Paxton
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: against a man that he calls Telefrico now because of
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: some of the past clips that have been coming up
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: about Telerico, the man that is running against him, the
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: assembly person who's running against him. And Telerico has had
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: some problems because All of this stuff coming up about
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: him has been pretty bad. It's been, you know, the
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: things that he's for. Somebody said, what is your greatest love?
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: And he said, trans children. That's my greatest love.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: That didn't play well in Texas. And that's been everywhere.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Well, Telerico came back, while the president was there, pretty
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: darn strong.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: He wanted... His campaign, and.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: You'll appreciate this, Curtis, because you've run for campaign. He
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: wanted to take the attention away from that moment.
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: Because Trump was coming to town. And Trump is the
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: one that propelled Paxton to win in the primary over
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: John Cornyn. And now. if Trump comes in and has
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: that same mojo in a Republican state, that could flip
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: the election. But then you're the one that called my
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: attention to this. Why don't you tell us what happened?
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: Trump is also there to raise money because Telerico has
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: more money than Paxton because Republicans have been a little
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: slow in donating. So with Trump there, it's sort of
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: like give money to Paxton. But Telerico's people learn from Cornyn.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: As you know, Cornyn took that loss very personally. And
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: when he was running against Paxton, he created an ad.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: about a pen, a thousand dollar pen. And you would say, well,
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: what's the importance of a thousand dollar pen? He basically
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: said that Paxton had been a kleptomaniac and had taken
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: it from somebody that he sat with. Well, Telerico saw
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: it wasn't effective amongst Texans, you know, who pride themselves on,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: you know, you just don't do those kinds of things.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: And man, listen to this ad. which is actually competing
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: for the attention of voters in what is a very
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: tight race now for the new U.S. Senate seat that
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Cornyn will no longer be occupying.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Let me set this up a little bit because everything
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: you said was accurate, but it was on a plane
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: ride when he showed them the pen. So it was
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: on a plane ride, and since you can't see it,
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: the video that they're talking about is him going through security.
- 1:10:29Speaker 15: This is Ken Paxton. And this is Ken Paxton stealing someone's.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: $ 1, 000 pen. Here's what happened.
- 1:10:35Speaker 15: The incident happened at the Collin County Courthouse, the same
- 1:10:38Speaker 15: courthouse where Paxton would later be indicted for investment fraud.
- 1:10:42Speaker 15: Paxton walked up to the trays next to the metal detectors,
- 1:10:44Speaker 15: rummaged through them, and came across someone else's expensive Montblanc pen.
- 1:10:48Speaker 15: He decided to take it for himself. After the police
- 1:10:51Speaker 15: got involved, Joe got his pen back. He could have
- 1:10:54Speaker 15: pressed charges, but he decided against it. Because Joe's a
- 1:10:57Speaker 15: nice guy. He'd never take someone else's pen, but he
- 1:11:00Speaker 15: also hasn't forgotten who took his.
- 1:11:02Speaker 16: Hi, I'm Joe Joplin, and I endorse James Tallarico for
- 1:11:06Speaker 16: the United States Senate.
- 1:11:08Speaker 15: Vote for James Tallarico.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: He won't steal your pen.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, it was security at a courthouse, and he
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: had just talked to him before that. But yes, it
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: looks like an airport security, so I'm sorry I got
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: that wrong.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: You say to yourself, out of all the really important
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: issues that affect Texas— immigration— illegals, we can go on, affordability,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: cost of living, the whole nine yards, the cattle industry,
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: which is screaming now because the president is bringing in
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: foreign imports. This is resonating with some voters. And the
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: reason it is, it resonated in the Republican primary and
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: the Telerico people said, well, if it worked there, we
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: want to use this for independence. Because ultimately what happens
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: when you have these very close races between Democrats and
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: Republicans is The growing number of independents are going to
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: determine who the next U.S. senator in Texas is. So
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: that's why Trump is in there. He's raising money. He's
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: also getting his chops ready because he's got to go
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: on the road. And he has basically said, I got
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: $ 400 million in a pack. And we're going to use
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: it to promote what I've done for the country, because
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: as goes Trump, so goes Republicans. And that makes a
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: lot of sense because Republicans, as Rob Astorino said, don't
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: want to be put in a position if they're running
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: for Senate or the House where they have to constantly
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: comment on what Donald Trump said that day about other issues.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: So if the president is focused on all these important
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: issues and he's putting out the campaign TV ads and
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: the drops and the texts and the phone calls and
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: sticking to the issue that is going to help the Republicans,
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: that can go a long way. But the president is
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: basically saying, I know what happens. We either sink or
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: swim with me, and you've got to imagine I'm at
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: the top of the ticket, because I know what brings
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: out the Republicans.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: I will tell you, they don't really have a money problem.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: They have a money problem in Texas. You're absolutely right
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: about that. But the Republicans haven't started spending their money yet,
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: and they have as much as eight times more money
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: than the Democrats. did an awful job of spending money.
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: And you know who didn't help them? Kamala Harris. Kamala
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: Harris was in debt at the end. They had to
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: repay her debt. That was a big part of the problem.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: So not only did she not win the election, not
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: only was she awful, but she hurt all future Democratic elections.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: And so this ad, look, I think in September, this
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: ad's not going to hurt at all. I mean, this
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: ad is going to be forgotten. Maybe they'll joke about
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: it every once in a while. This ad was released
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: exactly the time when Trump was coming in because that's
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: what they fear the most in Texas. They feared Donald
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Trump coming in and talking to Republicans and saying, I
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: need this. It's this isn't for Paxson. This is for me.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: You need to do this for me because he has a,
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: historic popularity in the Republican Party. And the ones that
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: love him, so the ones that support him and like
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: him are over 90%. The ones that love him are
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: over 50%. The ones that think he's the best president
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: of all time are over 50%. There's two sides to
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: Donald Trump. He's going to Democrats, that's all they're running on.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: That's all they run on. Every time they talk about
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: an issue, they talk about Donald Trump.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: Brilliant.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: That's what they should be doing. Donald Trump is also
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: the person that can get Republicans out. So the weird
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: thing is he can get Democrats and Republicans out. But
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: what he needs to do is speak right to the
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: Republicans to get more of them out. And that's what
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: you're seeing right now. But as far as the money goes,
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: they got money. Well, let me ask you a question.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: You are correct. The DNC had to pay the debt
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris, who left them with quite a debt.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Not quite the $ 40 trillion we owe as a country,
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: but a lot of money. Did that include the $ 250, 000
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: she paid the pre-interview with Alsham Shady Sharpton and MS Now,
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: and then the additional $ 250, 000 she gave him after an interview?
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: Not only was it a softball interview, but... Why the
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: hell are you paying Al Slim Shady Sharpton to do
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: an interview for what is your constituency to begin with?
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: I know. It was such a poorly run campaign. And
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: how about the money they were paid to Beyonce? Everybody thought, oh,
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: look at all these celebrities. She must be loved by
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: these celebrities. No, she was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars,
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: sometimes millions of dollars to depending on how big they were,
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: for all these celebrities to appear with her. So that
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: was one of the most poorly run campaigns I have
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: ever seen. One of the things that helped Donald Trump
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: so much was when he sat down for well over
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: an hour with Joe Rogan. If you remember that, that
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: was brilliant.
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: Kamala Harris was given the exact same invitation. She said, no,
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: it can't be an hour. It can only be 25 minutes,
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: and you have to come to our studio.
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: So now, while the focus in Texas, rightfully, is on
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: the president coming to help Paxton versus Tallarico, it's now
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: a nationally significant race. Tallarico was here the other day
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: to appear with Charlemagne Tha God on Power 105, you know,
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: his breakfast show. Everybody running comes to get interviewed by
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: Charlemagne Tha God. And so he's doing better than anticipated. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: He's going to lose. Why the hell, in the midst
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: of all this, the president touching down, focus on Paxton.
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: Who decides to pop up his head and start talking?
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. Now, Ted Cruz has been in some pretty
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: close races himself, which he's won, re-election. He decides to say,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: I want to be president. Don't think about J.D. Vance
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: and don't think about Marco Rubio. And I'm like saying,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: Wrong time, wrong place to be saying this and distracting
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: what should be a total focus of the Republicans to
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: try to get Paxton elected, because Paxton has a lot
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: of baggage. He needs help. But notice how Ted Cruz, egomaniacal,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: oh no, I want to run for president, which takes
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: away from the presidential visit, because then you know what
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: the president's going to be asked. Well, what do you
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: think about Senator Ted Cruz saying he's interested in running
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: for the presidency, the Republican nomination? when you're out of office?
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: He was asked.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: He was asked that very question, and what he said was, oh,
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: I like Ted Cruz. He'd be a good president.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: That was it. He was done. I know, but still.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: But it doesn't take that much attention away. It really doesn't.
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it affected his visit. I
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: don't think it's going to affect the election. I don't
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: even think, I don't think Cruz was doing it just
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: to get attention and take it away from them. I
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: think he was asked the question, and he answered it,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: and so... You know, are you still considering running for president?
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I am.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: And it came up. I mean, but it's going to
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: be it's it's forgotten.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm telling you, this is this organization. You
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: really got to be tightened up because a midterm election,
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: the haters come out and the haters are Democrats and
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: the swing vote of the independents. Now, the question is,
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: are the independents going to go for Telerico or are
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: they going to go for Paxton? And the president has
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: to have a locked down message to them because, you know,
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: in their minds, it's affordability, cost of living, the war
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: in Iran, immigration, ICE, all these key issues that are
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: in the national news cycle. The president's message must be
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: very disciplined because this is now a sprint. We're in
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: a sprint. This is not a marathon. And Rob Astorino
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: had the best advice in the world. Mr. President, stop
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: playing around. You're going to rename, you know, Lake Superior,
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: Lake America. You just distract away from the campaign because
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: now everybody in Texas got to answer for that. It
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: was a Republican and everywhere else. You really got to
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: button down. He's got to look at these polls. And
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: his polls are not favorable, and he's got to break
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: out because he's the messenger.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Yeah, the campaign really hasn't even started yet. And let's
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: wait until September is when it's going to start. And
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: the Republicans, the one thing they have is a whole
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: lot of money. And as far as the independents go
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: in Texas, he gets Republicans out. He doesn't even need
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: the independents. Republicans in the voter registration way ahead in Texas.
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: That's the biggest problem. Right now, they're undecided. When we
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: come back, who is going to replace Caroline Leavitt as
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: press secretary? Well, one name has risen to the top,
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: and you know him. He's been on this show. We'll
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: talk about it when we come back. Also, a chance
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: to see Chicago coming up next. Let's talk about the
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: CC Radio Solar with Bluetooth. This is my favorite of
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: the C-Crane radios. I know, it's like take picking a
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: favorite of your kids, but I'll tell you what, in
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: an emergency, this is the one you have to have.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: Seacrane's wind-up emergency radio, because you can wind it up
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: in the back. If everything else goes wrong, it's still
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: going to work. But it's got a solar panel as well,
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: and it's got Bluetooth. It is a great radio for
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: those inevitable powerless times. It features an oversized solar panel,
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: built-in LED flashlight, and a battery strength meter. The CC
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: Radio Solar with Bluetooth is about the size of a brick.

- 1:21:24Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Caroline Leavitt is amazing. 29 years old.
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: And she may be the best I've ever seen. I
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: know Trump said she's one of the best, but... Yesterday,
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: she said goodbye.
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: I'll miss you guys.
- 1:21:40Speaker 15: I know that's probably not something anyone would expect me
- 1:21:43Speaker 15: to say, but obviously it's been great working with all
- 1:21:46Speaker 15: of you.
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: She's going to have a position now with the press office,
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: but she's going to work from home because she's got
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: two small children, only 29 years old. And if you
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: think about it, you think, well, what.
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: Does she have to do? It's a 24-hour-a-day job. 90%
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: of it is work.
- 1:22:04Speaker 12: Taking all of your calls at five in the morning
- 1:22:07Speaker 12: and 11 p.m.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: At night.
- 1:22:08Speaker 6: And I won't really miss that, but I will miss
- 1:22:11Speaker 6: working with you guys every day.
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: So who replaces her?
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. Whoever the president chooses, he's got
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: to have somebody stay on message. Oh, yeah.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: It's going to be hard to replace her because she
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: had a lovability about her. You know, she was so nice.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: She smiled all the time. But man, was she on
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: message all the time and she would take people on.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: The name that's being bandied about the most that you
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: hear a lot is Scott Jennings, the conservative pit bull
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: from CNN.
- 1:22:42Speaker 17: I do think Democrats have made a huge mistake with
- 1:22:45Speaker 17: Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. But I think all these races
- 1:22:48Speaker 17: are going to be close. I think the Republicans do
- 1:22:50Speaker 17: have good candidates. And I think the Republicans are going
- 1:22:52Speaker 17: to have plenty of resources. And I think they've got
- 1:22:54Speaker 17: a story to tell. Just Friday, we learned that for
- 1:22:57Speaker 17: the first time in six years.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: I just wanted to play that so you get a
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: taste of him, heard the voice and recognize it. really
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: has nothing to do with what we're talking about right now.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: I just want to let you know that's who he is.
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: If you don't know Scott Jennings, he is the one
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: that takes all the liberals on, and it's just him
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: at CNN, and he does an incredible job.
- 1:23:15Speaker 10: Thoughts?
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: Would he be good?
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. I think a little bit of
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: a woman's touch helps because he has testosterone. There's no
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: doubt about it, and obviously nobody has more testosterone than
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: President Trump.
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think it should be a woman.
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: But Scott Jennings would be at least fun for us.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: Now let's get to your talkbacks.
- 1:23:35Speaker 16: No, no, no, Curtis and Menti. Let this woman live.
- 1:23:41Speaker 16: Deny her what she wants. Let her cook in her
- 1:23:48Speaker 16: remembrance that she killed her three kids. Let her die
- 1:23:52Speaker 16: of old age with the three kids in her head.
- 1:23:59Speaker 16: that's punishment for her.
- 1:24:00Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: That's a great thought. I didn't think of that.
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: Well, that's, uh, Lindsay Clancy who saw the arguments, uh,
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: to lock her up, uh, or to get her at least, uh,
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: what her defense attorney was saying was a lifetime help
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: for her mental instability.
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: Yeah. She strangled her three kids in the basement. Uh,
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: I was saying that was a reaction to me more
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: than anybody else that said she should be put to death. But, uh,
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: I get it. That's really a great thought.
- 1:24:30Speaker 9: Hey, Larry, Curtis, I love all these people that say
- 1:24:33Speaker 9: they're crazy. They commit the crime, but they know enough
- 1:24:35Speaker 9: to run away or do something to get away with it.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: Tired of listening to mental illness. Friar.
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: Well, she jumped out of a window. She wasn't trying
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: to get away. She was trying to kill herself.
- 1:24:48Speaker 13: Yeah, guys, it's true about the Gulf of Mexico becoming
- 1:24:52Speaker 13: the Gulf of America. I actually have a legit... map
- 1:24:57Speaker 13: in my room that I bought that has the Gulf
- 1:25:01Speaker 13: of America listed now over the Gulf of Mexico. Which
- 1:25:05Speaker 13: is only right because most of our states make up
- 1:25:07Speaker 13: that Gulf. But the Lake of America... I think that's
- 1:25:13Speaker 13: pushing a little too far.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. It's good for the map makers. It
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: keeps them making new maps. Yeah.
- 1:25:22Speaker 13: Okay, seriously, with these people blaming the parents, just stop, okay?
- 1:25:27Speaker 13: You can't blame the parents for everything your kid does. Otherwise,
- 1:25:32Speaker 13: you're going to be a helicopter parent, and your kid's
- 1:25:34Speaker 13: really going to resent you. You want to be hovering
- 1:25:37Speaker 13: around your kid 24-7 seeing what they do? See how
- 1:25:41Speaker 13: well they like you in 20 years.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: Yeah, that's talking about meta. We had a lot of
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: people call for saying, it's not all meta, it's the parents.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: And I think you're right.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: It's a shared responsibility, but I'm glad he stood up
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: for the parents.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: Well, now at 8.30, let's get Daria with the news.
- 1:25:58Speaker 7: Good morning, guys. Partly sunny today. It's going to be
- 1:26:00Speaker 7: on the muggy side, but we will see a chance
- 1:26:02Speaker 7: for an afternoon shower and a high of 82 degrees.
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: All right, geography book editors, it's time to make that change.
- 1:26:08Speaker 11: We're going to be Changing the name of Lake Ontario,
- 1:26:13Speaker 11: effective immediately to Lake America. That's going to take place
- 1:26:18Speaker 11: right now as I sign the order.
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: The president signing an executive order yesterday as a trade
- 1:26:24Speaker 7: war with Canada continues to intensify. He did so as
- 1:26:27Speaker 7: he sat in front of a map which read, making
- 1:26:29Speaker 7: the Great Lakes even greater. The Canadian government says that
- 1:26:33Speaker 7: doesn't change anything. It's always going to be Lake Ontario.
- 1:26:36Speaker 7: New York Governor Kathy Hochul agrees. The FBI is offering
- 1:26:39Speaker 7: $ 25, 000 now for information leading to the arrest of Jesus Acosta.
- 1:26:44Speaker 7: Police believe that he's behind two fatal shootings, one at
- 1:26:47Speaker 7: a bodega in the Bronx, the other a few days
- 1:26:49Speaker 7: earlier at a fast food restaurant in Brooklyn. If you
- 1:26:52Speaker 7: have information about either of these cases, you are asked
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. New Yorkers are going
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: to be in Washington today. They'll be rallying against the
- 1:27:02Speaker 7: president's changes to mail-in voting laws.
- 1:27:04Speaker 14: A number of buses left from the National Action Network
- 1:27:07Speaker 14: headquarters in Harlem earlier, with New Yorkers protesting against Trump's
- 1:27:11Speaker 14: attempt to track mail-in ballots and possibly reject some that
- 1:27:14Speaker 14: are not on the federal list of eligible voters.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: So we are going there to basically preserve the dream.
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: I mean, Dr.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: King had the dream.
- 1:27:21Speaker 4: There's a lot of people out here right now trying
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: to kill the dream.
- 1:27:24Speaker 14: A federal judge on Thursday blocked a postal service regulation
- 1:27:27Speaker 14: to exert control over mail-in ballots. This is leading up
- 1:27:30Speaker 14: to the midterm elections. The judge ruled deregulation is likely
- 1:27:33Speaker 14: unlawful because the federal government cannot interfere with elections without
- 1:27:37Speaker 14: congressional permission. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 1:27:40Speaker 7: California's state senate has passed a first-in-the-nation bill which adds
- 1:27:45Speaker 7: Jewish as an ethnicity in the state's democratic data collection.
- 1:27:49Speaker 7: That proposal will now head to the statehouse. And the
- 1:27:52Speaker 7: markets will be watching as Fed Chair Kevin Walsh delivers

- 1:29:26Speaker 2: just an absolute legend, Dolly Parton and Tim Curry is
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: what we're talking about. As we talk to Joe Neumeier,
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: film journalist and WOR movie minute host, Joe, we want
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: you to remember the two of them, but we want
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: to do something a little bit different. We're going to,
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: and it's, you know what, it's a test and it's
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: like giving Einstein a test on physics. You're going to
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: nail this very easily, but I'm going to play clips
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: of you for you from Dolly Parton movies. You tell
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: us the movie and then, you know, share your remembrance
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: of her as you're answering the questions. You ready?
- 1:30:01Speaker 10: Sounds good.
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: I'm all set.
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: I got my coffee.
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: I'm all set.
- 1:30:03Speaker 10: Okay.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: Look, I got a gun out there in my purse.
- 1:30:06Speaker 12: And up to now, I've been forgiving and forgetting because
- 1:30:09Speaker 12: of the way I was brought up.
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing.
- 1:30:11Speaker 12: If you ever say another word about me or make
- 1:30:13Speaker 12: another indecent proposal, I'm going.
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: To get that gun of mine, and I'm going to
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot.
- 1:30:21Speaker 12: Don't think I can't do it.
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: Go ahead.
- 1:30:25Speaker 10: Great 9 to 5. 9 to 5, of course. She's
- 1:30:27Speaker 10: so funny in there. That was her first film. So
- 1:30:29Speaker 10: feisty and fiery. She's in there with Jane Fonda and
- 1:30:32Speaker 10: Lily Tomlin going after Debbie Coleman. Yeah, that's 9 to 5, right?
- 1:30:35Speaker 10: Am I right on that one?
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: Absolutely correct. Yeah, and she was funny. I think that
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: showed her, Chops is a great actress.
- 1:30:46Speaker 10: I totally agree. And I think that none of the
- 1:30:48Speaker 10: other films, she only did about five films in total, really.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: Let me play another clip before you get to another film.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: Are you ready? Here you go.
- 1:30:54Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 1:30:55Speaker 10: I'm all set.
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: It's probably just one of those last minute jitter things.
- 1:30:59Speaker 14: No, but the wedding's still on.
- 1:31:01Speaker 16: Well, thank goodness, because this is going in the hairdo
- 1:31:05Speaker 16: hall of fame.
- 1:31:06Speaker 13: Go ahead.
- 1:31:08Speaker 10: It's Steel Magnolias. She's the owner of the beauty salon, right?
- 1:31:13Speaker 10: That's in her house, and I think Truvy was her name,
- 1:31:16Speaker 10: I think. So that is Steel Magnolias.
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: That was still Magnolia.
- 1:31:19Speaker 13: Of course.
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: I know you're going to get all of these. No,
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: I'm a little bit of a doubter here. Really? We've
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: got two more to go, right?
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: Well, these are the two hardest ones. Yes, these are
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: the two most difficult.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: But this is Joe Newman. No, no, no. He's been
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: a dollar short and a day late on some things lately.
- 1:31:35Speaker 10: Now the clutch is on here, guys. I don't know. Okay,
- 1:31:38Speaker 10: let's try.
- 1:31:39Speaker 13: This is a treat.
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: Nobody around here ever wants a manicure.
- 1:31:43Speaker 13: Why, I don't think I would even.
- 1:31:45Speaker 10: Know what to charge for a fool that is beauty.
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to need one, too.
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: Well, I am going to paint my front door.
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: Red and change my name.
- 1:31:52Speaker 10: To Elizabeth Arden. Uh-oh. I'm thinking, is that Best Little
- 1:31:58Speaker 10: Whorehouse in Texas? Because that I haven't seen in a
- 1:32:02Speaker 10: long time. That came out in 82, and she plays
- 1:32:05Speaker 10: the madam of the whorehouse there with Burt Reynolds, the comedy.
- 1:32:08Speaker 10: It's a musical comedy. I like it, actually. Is it
- 1:32:10Speaker 10: Best Little Whorehouse?
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: No, I apologize. We played a trick on you. That's
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: Steel Magnolias again.
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: Oh, look at that. You see, was I right? Was
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: I right about this?
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: No, he obviously thought it was going to be four
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: different movies. We kind of changed it up on him.
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: Oh, come on. Let's not give him a curve.
- 1:32:29Speaker 10: I've only got three coffees on me. I need another
- 1:32:31Speaker 10: few coffees to pick the other side.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: Wait, we got another one.
- 1:32:34Speaker 13: One more.
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: I know you're going to get this.
- 1:32:38Speaker 9: Listen to him cuss and shout just like on TV.
- 1:32:42Speaker 13: You're just a kid playing at being a cowboy.
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: You ain't never going to grow up.
- 1:32:48Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: A little hesitation there.
- 1:32:50Speaker 10: Uh-oh is right.
- 1:32:51Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:32:52Speaker 10: I mean, that sounds like best little whorehouse.
- 1:32:56Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: When I said yes, I was trying to help you.
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: All right. In baseball, you would be the triple crown winner. 75%
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: you got right. But let me tell you something, Joe.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: You're supposed to be number one, second, and none. You
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: should have gotten all four.
- 1:33:12Speaker 10: I should have gotten all four.
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:33:13Speaker 10: And I should have actually. Well, I have to say,
- 1:33:15Speaker 10: I haven't. seen any of them since they came out.
- 1:33:18Speaker 10: You know, they just weren't on my rewatch thing. I
- 1:33:20Speaker 10: should have gotten them. But I will say, of the
- 1:33:22Speaker 10: five films that she made, really, I mean, those are
- 1:33:26Speaker 10: all good ones. I like Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,
- 1:33:28Speaker 10: Charles Durning's Oscar-nominated for it, Burt Reynolds, a lot of fun.
- 1:33:31Speaker 10: But Rhinestone gets a lot of guff, because it was
- 1:33:35Speaker 10: the movie that Stallone sang in, and it was a
- 1:33:37Speaker 10: flop when it came out. But I think it's okay.
- 1:33:40Speaker 10: She's funny in it. She's a country music star who...
- 1:33:42Speaker 10: says she can make anybody a singer, and he's a
- 1:33:44Speaker 10: cabbie that she tries to do. It's goofy, but it's funny.
- 1:33:47Speaker 10: And then there's one that you guys may know. It's
- 1:33:48Speaker 10: called Straight Talk. It's a comedy drama. It's more of
- 1:33:53Speaker 10: a comedy from, like, 92. But she falls into having
- 1:33:57Speaker 10: a job as a radio host. And so it's a
- 1:33:59Speaker 10: great radio movie in a lot of ways. Her and
- 1:34:00Speaker 10: James Woods. So both of those are ones that people forget.
- 1:34:03Speaker 10: But I'm a fan of 9 to 5 and Best
- 1:34:05Speaker 10: Little Whorehouse in Texas.
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: All right, you've come back. That's a major comeback from
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: where you were. Yeah, he's amazing. Let me give you
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: a real easy one now.
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: You ready?
- 1:34:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: Go ahead.
- 1:34:17Speaker 10: Of course, you know, Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's the
- 1:34:19Speaker 10: one that you guys, I'm sure, are singing every morning, right,
- 1:34:21Speaker 10: when you guys start the show. I think, you know,
- 1:34:24Speaker 10: the thing I think about with Tim Curry... And that's,
- 1:34:27Speaker 10: of course, you know, Rocky Horror Picture Show, is that
- 1:34:30Speaker 10: he makes that character who, you know, he just described
- 1:34:33Speaker 10: himself in there as, you know, he's a sweet transsexual
- 1:34:35Speaker 10: from transsexual, transvestite. Transsexual Transylvania. He makes that character, though,
- 1:34:41Speaker 10: like slimy and and and weird, but also like, you know,
- 1:34:45Speaker 10: kind of sympathetic. And it's a comedy. It's a goofy thing.
- 1:34:48Speaker 10: But Tim Curry had this ability to sort of bring
- 1:34:51Speaker 10: the biggest characters to life in the most sympathetic ways
- 1:34:55Speaker 10: and kind of weird ways. And I think that he
- 1:34:57Speaker 10: played the devil in Legend and he's great in it.
- 1:35:00Speaker 10: He played under all this makeup. He's great. And he
- 1:35:02Speaker 10: plays the clown it in the original TV movie of that.
- 1:35:06Speaker 10: um he played he was in muppet treasure island as
- 1:35:08Speaker 10: uh as long john silver but i love him in
- 1:35:11Speaker 10: clue and in annie he's great in both of those
- 1:35:13Speaker 10: movies too he thought he was such a funny guy
- 1:35:15Speaker 10: and on broadway and spam a lot uh such a.
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: Crazy british great actor funny you know what i learned
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: in his passing i had no idea about this yeah
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: that our own uh larry mentee had gone to rocky
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: horror about four or five times in his life, I said, whoa, yeah,
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: that's interesting.
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: Would you please explain to him, because he thinks for
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: some reason that everybody that went there must be a transvestite,
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: that that was a cultural experience?
- 1:35:47Speaker 10: Yes, Curtis, it was a cultural experience. It was something
- 1:35:50Speaker 10: that you go to in college or even not in college,
- 1:35:52Speaker 10: just go. It's a midnight thing at the Bleeker Cinema
- 1:35:55Speaker 10: in New York. It played at midnight like every Friday
- 1:35:58Speaker 10: and Saturday. You don't have to go and dress up.
- 1:36:00Speaker 10: It also was part of the, I will say it
- 1:36:03Speaker 10: was a flop when it came out in 75, when
- 1:36:05Speaker 10: a few years later it became this cult thing. People
- 1:36:07Speaker 10: went to have the experience of, like, people throwing things
- 1:36:10Speaker 10: at the screen, people joking, people singing along. Like, you
- 1:36:13Speaker 10: didn't have to dress up. The two or three times
- 1:36:16Speaker 10: I went when I was young, I never dressed up.
- 1:36:18Speaker 10: But you go to kind of have this communal experience.
- 1:36:20Speaker 10: And that's movie-going, right? I mean, it's not every movie
- 1:36:24Speaker 10: you're throwing things at the screen, even if it's a
- 1:36:25Speaker 10: bad movie, like the Dog Stars, which is out this weekend.
- 1:36:28Speaker 10: You might want to throw something at the Dog Stars.
- 1:36:30Speaker 10: But the experience of Rocky Horror was to really have
- 1:36:33Speaker 10: that communal experience. Some of the music is really fun.
- 1:36:37Speaker 10: You know, Time Warp is obviously great. And Meat Loaf's
- 1:36:40Speaker 10: got a great song in there. But it's about the
- 1:36:42Speaker 10: experience of going there with people and being raucous and
- 1:36:45Speaker 10: crazy and kooky. And kind of, you know, it was
- 1:36:48Speaker 10: a show in the audience as well.
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: Good cover for Larry. You're a good colleague here at
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: the movie reviewer show. Good cover for Larry going how
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: many times? Sorry, four or five times. Four or five, yeah. Yeah, okay.
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: Always had fun, was always with the group. Tells me
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: a lot about you, Larry.
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: What, that I had friends?
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: No, Joe, good cover. Good cover, but we appreciate you.
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: Same time, same place next week, Joe.
- 1:37:13Speaker 10: Sounds great, guys.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Thanks. Up next, CTE. Very serious situation. New stats have
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: come out about football players who've come down with this
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: cognitive disease. And with the Jets and Giants having their
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: final exhibition game against one another on the weekend. But meantime,
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: for any of you, whether you're into sports or you're
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: not into sports, there's a serious thing affecting your lives.
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: The lives of your friends, your relatives, maybe your older
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: mom or dad or even your grandparents. And that is
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: how these data brokers and people search sites are gathering
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: up your information. In fact, you maybe have remembered the
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: headlines from months ago when a guy walks into this
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: Minnesota lawmaker's home with her husband and kills him. They
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: find a notebook, law enforcement, and inside a handwritten list
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: of 11 websites, none of them having to do with weapons. Again,
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: data brokers and people search sites. They had collected all
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: the information that he used to assassinate them. And guess what?
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: It was legal evidence. These data brokers and people search sites,
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: they get your information and they sell it out there.
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: Now it's up to you. to put up the firewalls. Yeah,
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: they got your address, your phone, your family's names, a
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: photo of your front door, everything. You do it with
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: incognito as I do. Let me spell it out for you. I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: And it forces data brokers and people's search sites to
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: delete you, and then they stay on top of them
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: to make sure they don't come back with your information.
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: Incogni can scrub your info from site after site. So tonight,
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: you like your doors. But how about locking down your
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: address and personal information? Go to incogni.com slash Curtis. You
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: get 60% off. Recommend it to family and friends. That's
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: incogni.com slash Curtis. So this weekend, it's Jets-Giants, the last
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: exhibition game. They play one another before the season begins.
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: And America is into smash-mouth football, both at the professional level,
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: the college level, and also high school level. In some places, Larry,
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: you know this well, Friday night, high school football night,
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon or Saturday night, college football night, and then
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: professional football on Sunday. And still people can't get enough.
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: But an alarming study just came out about CTE. These
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: are the problems that you develop when you've had a
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: concussion or a series of concussions that's led to a
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: brain injury that causes tremendous problems for you, maybe during
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: your life or later on in your life. And the
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: only way they can diagnose it is once you're dead
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: and the family has donated your brain to be researched.
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: And I'm saying to myself, yeah, it's a big problem.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: But with the advances in medical science and all the
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: money now that the NFL makes more than ever before,
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: Why aren't they pouring more money into this so that
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: these men who are out there like gladiators can have
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: a diagnosis while they're alive so maybe they can be
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: a remedy so they don't suffer? Yeah, it's a great question.
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: I know that there was a settlement and the NFL
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: gave tens of millions of dollars to research. Except that
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: they keep saying over and over again they need large
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: tissue samples from multiple areas of the brain, not just
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: the top of the brain, but deep inside. And there's
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: no way, right now at least, to do that while
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: someone's alive. It's not good enough. to take a probe
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: and get a little piece out. You need a large
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: sample to see if CTE is taking place. But this
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: study was really, really alarming. I mean, the study is
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: that 24.5% of football players that played professional football that died,
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: so they played through high school, played through college, 24.5%,
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: so let's say 25%, one in four, that died between
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: 2016 and 2021 had CTE. But they're saying that it's
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: much likely more than that because more than 60% of
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: brain donors with confirmed CTE exhibited dementia while alive, and
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: they believe that with all the donations of brain cells,
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: it could be as high as, listen to this number, 97.7%. 97.7%
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: have some form of CTE. Now, there's four stages of it,
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: and the fourth one is the most serious. And so
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: you could be okay with like stage one. By stage four,
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: you get dementia. And sometimes you have muscle problems. And
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: sometimes it causes you to die. I mean, you eventually
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: just pass away. So it is, you're right to call
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: attention to this. The NFL was horrible for some time
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: trying to hide it and got into trouble in a lawsuit. Now,
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: at least they're out in front of it too and
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: putting money into it. Of course, that was part of
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: the settlement. But yes, it's something that every parent should
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: be aware of. And certainly I was. My son played
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: middle school football and then high school football and had
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: a concussion, had a pretty bad concussion. when he was
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: in high school and that's it. No more, no more football. Yeah.
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: A lot of parents are making that decision and they
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: steer their kids towards soccer. Well, guess what? You can
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: get a concussion when you head the ball into the net.
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: I'm still somebody who loves American smash mouth football, but
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: I want to listen to more of these results coming in. Meantime,
