- 0:00Speaker 1: And it is a sad day today. The word legend
- 0:04Speaker 1: is thrown around a lot, but in this case, it
- 0:07Speaker 1: absolutely works. There was the passing of a legend yesterday.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Dolly Parton, dead at the age of 80. Now, you remember,
- 0:17Speaker 1: we've been talking about Dolly Parton now for several months,
- 0:21Speaker 1: going back a year because she was opening a play
- 0:24Speaker 1: on Broadway called And she was never able to come
- 0:27Speaker 1: to Broadway, and she was never able to promote it,
- 0:29Speaker 1: and she was never able to get out on the road,
- 0:31Speaker 1: and she had to cancel many appearances. And she kept
- 0:34Speaker 1: putting videos out saying, I'm okay, I'm all right, don't
- 0:37Speaker 1: worry about me. But the entire time, she was apparently
- 0:41Speaker 1: fighting cancer. And she thinks that she got sick when
- 0:45Speaker 1: she was caring for her husband, Carl Dean, someone she
- 0:49Speaker 1: was married to for 52 years. He passed away Last year,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and apparently Dolly Parton since then has never been the same.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Her passing was announced by her nephew, Brian Seaver. Now,
- 1:04Speaker 1: they have a close relationship with both her brother-in-law and
- 1:13Speaker 1: her nephew because the brother-in-law helped her launch her music career.
- 1:19Speaker 1: The nephew, Brian Seaver, is head of security and is
- 1:22Speaker 1: always with her, so that's why he made the announcement.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in
- 1:29Speaker 2: a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life
- 1:31Speaker 2: wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and
- 1:35Speaker 2: have some rest. Rest in peace, Aunt Dolly, Aunt Granny, Gigi.
- 1:41Speaker 2: May God bless Dolly Parton, and may God bless you all.
- 1:44Speaker 2: She will always love you.
- 1:46Speaker 1: That was beautiful. Songs like She Will Always Love You
- 1:50Speaker 1: that was made a hit by Whitney Houston, 9 to 5,
- 1:54Speaker 1: the theme of the movie that she played in. She
- 1:58Speaker 1: starred in two movies. She was nominated for an Oscar.
- 2:02Speaker 1: She was very close to getting the EGOT. She just
- 2:05Speaker 1: needed that Tony to get the EGOT. She might be
- 2:09Speaker 1: the biggest star in the country. Think about it. And
- 2:12Speaker 1: never a scandal. Never got involved in politics. I've never
- 2:16Speaker 1: heard her say a bad word about anyone. And Curtis,
- 2:20Speaker 1: she is the American dream because if you think about it,
- 2:25Speaker 1: she was born in the Smoky Mountains in a cabin
- 2:30Speaker 1: that only had one room. There were 12 kids and
- 2:35Speaker 1: it never seemed to get to her. She always thought
- 2:38Speaker 1: she was going to be a star. At the age
- 2:41Speaker 1: of six, She sang her very first song that she
- 2:45Speaker 1: wrote about a doll that her father gave to her.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And just a couple of years ago, when she was
- 2:51Speaker 1: on CBS this morning, she sang that song.
- 2:54Speaker 3: And she kept writing from that song.
- 3:08Speaker 1: And made it to Nashville first. She was on a
- 3:10Speaker 1: local radio show and then a TV show. And then
- 3:14Speaker 1: she went to Nashville where her uncle was waiting for her.
- 3:18Speaker 1: She signed Curtis a recording contract when she was in
- 3:24Speaker 1: high school. And when she graduated, she performed at the
- 3:28Speaker 1: Grand Ole Opry. And after that, she was a star.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Well, you know, obviously I wasn't a follower of her music,
- 3:37Speaker 4: Dolly Parton. I liked it when she teamed up with
- 3:40Speaker 4: Kenny Rogers, because I always liked Kenny Rogers, and that's
- 3:42Speaker 4: really when I was introduced to Dolly Parton. They did
- 3:45Speaker 4: great duets together. But I also liked her because she
- 3:50Speaker 4: reminded me of a more beautiful Yogi Berra. Give me
- 3:54Speaker 4: a moment to explain that.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Please.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Yogi Berra, if you ever went to Little Falls, Montclair State,
- 4:00Speaker 4: they have the Yogi Berra Museum, and they have all
- 4:02Speaker 4: of his yogisms, you know, things that he's famous for saying.
- 4:06Speaker 4: It ain't over till it's over. When you come to
- 4:09Speaker 4: a fork in the road, take it. You know, and
- 4:11Speaker 4: it goes on and on. And people love that because
- 4:13Speaker 4: it was very genuine. There are a whole list of dollyisms,
- 4:18Speaker 4: of things that she has said in interviews and publicly
- 4:22Speaker 4: that are pretty much the same thing, except naturally she
- 4:25Speaker 4: was much better looking than Yogi Perrault was. And I
- 4:29Speaker 4: love the story she told. She said, look, I finally
- 4:32Speaker 4: had that music contract. And the executives, they're saying to me,
- 4:37Speaker 4: you won't be taken seriously. You look more like a
- 4:41Speaker 4: hooker the way you dress than a singer. And she
- 4:44Speaker 4: used one of those dollyisms. Don't judge me by the
- 4:47Speaker 4: cover because I'm a real good book. That's right out
- 4:52Speaker 4: of Yogi Berra, right? You start thinking of it.
- 4:54Speaker 5: Wow.
- 4:55Speaker 4: And, you know, when it came to interviews, I watched
- 4:58Speaker 4: some of her interviews yesterday when I heard of her passing.
- 5:01Speaker 4: You could ask her a question as an interviewer. Go out,
- 5:05Speaker 4: get a cup of soup, a sandwich at the diner,
- 5:08Speaker 4: come back, and she'll still be answering the question because
- 5:11Speaker 4: as she always said, ask me anything and I'll tell
- 5:15Speaker 4: you what I want to hear, which meant she was
- 5:19Speaker 4: in total control. But in a nice way.
- 5:21Speaker 6: Yes.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Always smiling, always laughing and self-deprecating.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Who do you see any longer who's self-deprecating?
- 5:30Speaker 1: No, absolutely. Absolutely. And she was such a kind person
- 5:34Speaker 1: and never, ever got involved with any controversies. Hers or
- 5:39Speaker 1: anybody else's. Never talked about it. Always smiling. Always was nice.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And we have to point out one other thing about
- 5:46Speaker 1: her that she is especially proud of. And that is
- 5:51Speaker 1: the Imagination Library, where she gave 300 books to children
- 5:57Speaker 1: around the country from the age of one all the
- 6:00Speaker 1: way up to 12 to promote literacy. She spent $ 600
- 6:05Speaker 1: million in her lifetime in philanthropy projects. And when she
- 6:11Speaker 1: was asked what her legacy should be, she didn't talk
- 6:14Speaker 1: about the music. She didn't talk about the movies. She
- 6:18Speaker 1: didn't talk about Dolly World or her Broadway play. She
- 6:22Speaker 1: talked about the charity.
- 6:24Speaker 7: Do you ever think about what you'd want your legacy
- 6:27Speaker 7: to be?
- 6:28Speaker 3: There's a lot of wonderful things that's happened to me.
- 6:30Speaker 3: One of the things I'm proudest of is the Imagination Library. But,
- 6:34Speaker 3: of course, I'm a writer and a singer, and I'm
- 6:37Speaker 3: in both Songwriter Hall of Fame, you know, the big one,
- 6:41Speaker 3: the country music, and the other one up there with
- 6:43Speaker 3: the big guys. I'm just trying to leave as much stuff.
- 6:45Speaker 3: I just want to see how much I can do
- 6:46Speaker 3: in a lifetime. And I've been blessed, and I've been lucky,
- 6:50Speaker 3: and I don't take any of that for granted. But
- 6:52Speaker 3: I just wanted to be remembered well.
- 6:55Speaker 1: She's being remembered well today. $ 600 million she gave in
- 7:00Speaker 1: charities during her lifetime. Natalie, did you want to say something?
- 7:04Speaker 8: You know what? That last cut got me.
- 7:07Speaker 9: It teared me up because she was such a kind
- 7:11Speaker 9: human being, and you just— don't see that anymore. She
- 7:16Speaker 9: just wanted to help people, whether it was helping somebody
- 7:19Speaker 9: with a song or helping somebody who was unfortunate and
- 7:23Speaker 9: couldn't afford books for their children. I mean, she wanted
- 7:27Speaker 9: to make people happy. She made an amusement park. I mean,
- 7:31Speaker 9: this woman did everything. And sometimes you can't connect with
- 7:36Speaker 9: your kids on people that you grew up with. And
- 7:40Speaker 9: my daughter, she was the first one who texted me
- 7:44Speaker 9: yesterday to tell me about it.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I hadn't even seen it yet. She may be the
- 7:48Speaker 1: biggest star in America. She was the biggest star in America.
- 7:53Speaker 1: As you think of everybody else, I mean, Tom Cruise,
- 7:56Speaker 1: you go through all the names. They rise and fall
- 7:59Speaker 1: and rise and fall. Dolly Parton's always there. And you
- 8:02Speaker 1: know why? All these for decades.
- 8:05Speaker 10: Because.
- 8:06Speaker 9: She didn't alienate one group of people.
- 8:09Speaker 1: That's true.
- 8:10Speaker 9: Everybody felt connected to her in some fashion.
- 8:14Speaker 1: In fact.
- 8:15Speaker 9: Whether it was her music or her, you know, philanthropies.
- 8:18Speaker 4: In fact, I'm creating theater of the mind now. Imagine
- 8:21Speaker 4: we're in a gin mill and on one side you
- 8:24Speaker 4: got these truckers with their Confederate flag caps on and
- 8:28Speaker 4: the drag queens dressed like Dolly Parton on the other
- 8:31Speaker 4: side cheering her on.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Can we hear like.
- 8:33Speaker 4: A potpourri of her songs now?
- 8:36Speaker 5: You play that?
- 8:37Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 8:37Speaker 1: You know why that's important to play her songs? Because
- 8:41Speaker 1: at the core, what made her Dolly Parton, what made
- 8:44Speaker 1: her famous was songwriting. She was one of the best
- 8:49Speaker 1: songwriters in America for decades.
- 8:53Speaker 9: That is going to sell out in a second. I'm
- 8:58Speaker 9: sad that the tickets weren't on sale yet because I
- 9:00Speaker 9: was going to get one. So now it's going.
- 9:02Speaker 12: To be tough.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's going to be the biggest play
- 9:06Speaker 1: on Broadway for a long time. I think it's going
- 9:08Speaker 1: to run for a while. I know it didn't get
- 9:11Speaker 1: great reviews the first time it opened. They say they
- 9:13Speaker 1: fixed it. I don't think it's going to matter. I
- 9:15Speaker 1: think people just want to go as a tribute to her.
- 9:18Speaker 4: I think her best contribution outside of music is when
- 9:21Speaker 4: she set up Dolly World right outside of Knoxville where
- 9:25Speaker 4: it was basically Dixieland where they would recreate Confederate victories
- 9:31Speaker 4: over the Bluecoats. And she walked onto the premise because
- 9:35Speaker 4: they said, yeah, you could have your Dollywood here and
- 9:37Speaker 4: we'll do our recreations here. She goes, you know, this
- 9:40Speaker 4: Dub Mland ain't nobody's fool, but we ain't going to
- 9:43Speaker 4: get no northerners down here. They get 4 million people
- 9:46Speaker 4: a year to Dollyworld because she said, what are you, crazy?
- 9:51Speaker 4: The South didn't win the war? You're going to continue
- 9:54Speaker 4: to do that? I can't be a part of that.
- 9:56Speaker 4: And she basically bought him out lock, stock.
- 9:58Speaker 5: And barrel.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Well there's still joy in Bayonne. You know how they
- 10:03Speaker 1: say there is no joy in Mudville? Well, there's still
- 10:05Speaker 1: joy in Bayonne. They couldn't be prouder of their team,
- 10:09Speaker 1: even though they lost last night and were eliminated from
- 10:12Speaker 1: the Little League World Series. We'll talk about that. Plus,
- 10:15Speaker 1: we want to hear from you. about Dolly Parton, go
- 10:18Speaker 1: ahead and leave us a talk back, plus a chance
- 10:20Speaker 1: to see Chicago at 825. And now I do want
- 10:24Speaker 1: to talk to you about the CC Radio Solar with Bluetooth,
- 10:29Speaker 1: also called C-Crane's Wind-Up Emergency Radio, because no matter what happens,
- 10:35Speaker 1: no matter when the power goes out, if the batteries die,
- 10:38Speaker 1: if it's not even sunny out, this radio is going
- 10:41Speaker 1: to work because it has a wind-up feature in the back.
- 10:44Speaker 1: But it has a solar panel. So you can just
- 10:47Speaker 1: leave it in the sun and it's going to power
- 10:49Speaker 1: all the time. And it's got Bluetooth. It's a great
- 10:52Speaker 1: radio for those inevitable powerless times. The CC Radio Solar
- 10:58Speaker 1: with Bluetooth. It features an oversized solar panel, built-in LED flashlight,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and a battery strength meter. So It's going to be charged.
- 11:07Speaker 1: It is going to run no matter what happens. And
- 11:10Speaker 1: you got a flashlight right there. Put it right next
- 11:12Speaker 1: to your bed. The CC Radio Solar with Bluetooth is
- 11:15Speaker 1: about the size of a brick with a clean, modern
- 11:18Speaker 1: digital design. It has five easy one-touch memories, superior reception,
- 11:25Speaker 1: and excellent audio that you can enjoy at home, on
- 11:27Speaker 1: the road, camping, off the grid. It covers AM, FM, weather,
- 11:32Speaker 1: and NOAA weather alerts. It even doubles as the Bluetooth speaker,
- 11:37Speaker 1: as I said, for your favorite shows, podcasts, and music.
- 11:40Speaker 1: So it's not just for emergencies. You can use it
- 11:43Speaker 1: all the time. But when an emergency happens, you're going
- 11:46Speaker 1: to be glad you have it. To order the CC
- 11:48Speaker 1: Radio Solar with Bluetooth, call C-Crane now at 800-522-8863. Once again,
- 11:51Speaker 1: that's 800-522-8863. Or visit them online at ccrane.com. That's C-C-R-A-N-E
- 12:03Speaker 1: dot com. It's also available on Amazon. They own Bees,
- 12:08Speaker 1: the little league baseball team that lost and was eliminated
- 12:13Speaker 1: last night from the World Series. They're holding their heads
- 12:16Speaker 1: up because everybody's proud of you. Everybody in the area
- 12:20Speaker 1: is proud of what they have done. They won 18
- 12:22Speaker 1: straight games. blowing through New Jersey, blowing through the regionals.
- 12:28Speaker 1: They won their first two World Series games, and then
- 12:31Speaker 1: they went up against the best of the best, and
- 12:33Speaker 1: they held their own, but it all ended last night
- 12:38Speaker 1: when they played a Little League team from Hamilton, Ohio,
- 12:41Speaker 1: in Williamsport, and lost 5-2. But Bayonne, man, couldn't be prouder.
- 12:49Speaker 1: At Coles Tavern, which is the real popular spot to go,
- 12:54Speaker 1: the drinking and eating spot owned by Kevin Call, when
- 12:58Speaker 1: the game was over, guess what happened? There was no sadness.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Everybody applauded.
- 13:04Speaker 13: They played their hearts out. They did something no other
- 13:08Speaker 13: Bayonne team ever did before. So no Bayonne team ever
- 13:12Speaker 13: went past the regionals. I told them we're going to
- 13:15Speaker 13: personally throw them a pizza party here. That was Kevin Call,
- 13:18Speaker 13: the owner of the tavern. Man, people couldn't be prouder.
- 13:21Speaker 13: I didn't see anybody that looked down walking out of
- 13:25Speaker 13: that place.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Remember, most people couldn't find Bayonne on a map if
- 13:28Speaker 4: their life depended on it. They put Bayonne on the map.
- 13:32Speaker 4: The only previous time of significance was when Chuck Wepner
- 13:36Speaker 4: got in the ring with Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight
- 13:39Speaker 4: championship of the world. He was the bouncer. They have
- 13:41Speaker 4: a statue in his honor in Bayonne. But boy, they
- 13:45Speaker 4: got to be busting their buttons and bridges with pride.
- 13:47Speaker 4: Because normally in our region, it's either Tom's River in
- 13:51Speaker 4: New Jersey who goes to Williamsport or the South Shore
- 13:54Speaker 4: of Staten Island. So for Bayonne to actually get into Williamsport,
- 13:59Speaker 4: those are memories that will be with people in Bayonne
- 14:03Speaker 4: forever and all those who left Bayonne and have settled
- 14:06Speaker 4: in different parts of the United States forever.
- 14:09Speaker 5: Boy, they'll cherish those memories.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Yeah, they won 18 games in a row. And they
- 14:13Speaker 1: won on the biggest stage two games in a row. Yeah,
- 14:16Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's great teams across the country. And frankly,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I want to check the birth certificates of some of
- 14:23Speaker 1: the kids that I've saw play.
- 14:25Speaker 5: They look like they're shaving already.
- 14:28Speaker 1: I know. They get in their car, they drive home.
- 14:30Speaker 1: That's your first sign. But congratulations. Listen, I think they're
- 14:35Speaker 1: coming back today. And I know there's going to be
- 14:38Speaker 1: a huge welcome, and we'll talk more about them tomorrow. But,
- 14:43Speaker 1: you know, we continue to remember the legacy of Dolly Parton,
- 14:46Speaker 1: who died yesterday at the age of 80 from a
- 14:50Speaker 1: battle with cancer that she was not public about. And
- 14:53Speaker 1: I know that many of you want to share your
- 14:56Speaker 1: memories about her and talk about Dolly Parton. Self-deprecating, and
- 14:59Speaker 1: I love you.
- 15:01Speaker 14: I love you as a talk show host, as a politician,
- 15:04Speaker 14: and you and Dolly are going to be a Long live,
- 15:08Speaker 14: in this world, everybody's hearts and minds.
- 15:11Speaker 4: I think he was talking about you. Yeah, well, I
- 15:13Speaker 4: am self-deprecating. I am the politician here. I've run twice
- 15:17Speaker 4: for mayor. But put me up next to Dolly Parton.
- 15:21Speaker 4: My God, that's a superstar. Hey, I'll take that compliment.
- 15:26Speaker 4: You ain't getting that back, pal. Oh, by the way,
- 15:28Speaker 4: let me give a compliment. We are number two in
- 15:31Speaker 4: talkbacks in the nation, second only to KFI, the superstation
- 15:36Speaker 4: in L.A. And you know who's made us number two? Natalie,
- 15:39Speaker 4: our producer. For all the great talkbacks that she brings
- 15:42Speaker 4: to the airwaves. That means we are number two in
- 15:45Speaker 4: the nation with the number of talkbacks that we've received.
- 15:48Speaker 1: That's amazing. You know who else deserves some credit? The
- 15:51Speaker 1: people that call in and give us the talkbacks.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 15:53Speaker 1: They're the only reason we get that, so thank you
- 15:55Speaker 1: for that.
- 15:56Speaker 15: Last week, my granddaughters, ages seven and five, went on
- 16:03Speaker 15: their requested vacation to Dollywood. And they had a wonderful
- 16:10Speaker 15: time learning all about her. Because they can sing all
- 16:18Speaker 15: her songs. And I'm proud that they're growing up.
- 16:24Speaker 5: Do you ever.
- 16:25Speaker 4: See the young girls who will come on with the
- 16:28Speaker 4: coat that Dolly Parton said her mother sewed for her
- 16:31Speaker 4: from all the scraps? You know, it's the multicolored coats.
- 16:34Speaker 4: And you see them. And that's paying tradition to how
- 16:37Speaker 4: difficult it was for so many Americans where they'd have
- 16:40Speaker 4: to gather scraps together and they'd wear whatever they could.
- 16:44Speaker 4: And she always kept that tradition alive. And to this day,
- 16:48Speaker 4: young girls come with that. Their mothers bring them to Dollywood.
- 16:50Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Phil, I just love that talk back.
- 16:53Speaker 1: I can tell it's somebody that normally would not leave
- 16:56Speaker 1: a talk back. And it's just a proud grandmother who
- 16:58Speaker 1: wanted to talk about her granddaughters and and how Dolly
- 17:02Speaker 1: touched their lives. So thank you so much for that talkback.
- 17:05Speaker 1: And all the talkbacks, we have some still here. We're
- 17:07Speaker 1: going to get to them in the next hour. But
- 17:09Speaker 1: right now, Daria Albinger is waiting patiently for the 630 News.
- 17:14Speaker 16: Daria.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Good morning, guys.
- 17:14Speaker 7: Sunny and warm today with a high near 80 degrees. Well,
- 17:17Speaker 7: her first duets were with Porter Wagner, and one of
- 17:20Speaker 7: her last was with Pitbull. And she was amazing in
- 17:24Speaker 7: both of them. The world is mourning Dolly Parton, who
- 17:27Speaker 7: lost her battle with cancer at the age of 80.
- 17:29Speaker 7: Channel 7 entertainment reporter, Joelle Grosciullo.
- 17:32Speaker 17: Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 co-star, Jane Fonda, writing in part,
- 17:35Speaker 17: More than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always
- 17:38Speaker 17: be with us because she was so present, so powerful,
- 17:41Speaker 17: so generous and playful. that she is woven into all
- 17:44Speaker 17: our lives and hearts forever. Sally Field took to social
- 17:47Speaker 17: media alongside a photo from their film Steel Magnolias saying,
- 17:51Speaker 17: if there are truly angels on earth, then we have
- 17:54Speaker 17: just lost one. And here in New York, a musical
- 17:57Speaker 17: about the life of Dolly Parton has been planned to
- 18:00Speaker 17: officially open on what would have been Dolly's 81st birthday.
- 18:04Speaker 7: And the city honoring the singer, songwriter, businesswoman and philanthropist
- 18:08Speaker 7: and so much more by lighting the Empire State Building
- 18:12Speaker 7: pink last night. At least three teenagers are dead after
- 18:15Speaker 7: a crash on the Belt Parkway.
- 18:16Speaker 16: A vehicle with five males inside crashed with another vehicle
- 18:20Speaker 16: while both were going eastbound on the Belt. This was
- 18:22Speaker 16: around 11.30 last night near 65th Street in Bay Ridge.
- 18:25Speaker 16: Police say 16, 17 and 18-year-old males died and two
- 18:29Speaker 16: other males in the vehicle were sent to the hospital.
- 18:31Speaker 16: Two adult women in the other vehicle were also sent
- 18:34Speaker 16: to the hospital. Police are now looking into what led
- 18:36Speaker 16: up to the crash. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 18:39Speaker 7: President Trump says the Strait of Hormuz has been cleared
- 18:42Speaker 7: of all mines, and he's warning any vessel attempting to
- 18:44Speaker 7: lay new.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Ones, they will be destroyed.
- 18:46Speaker 7: Well, the boys from Bayonne are returning to New Jersey
- 18:48Speaker 7: today after they fell to Ohio 5-2 last night at
- 18:52Speaker 7: the Little League World Series. And while they're coming home
- 18:54Speaker 7: earlier than they would like, they showed us what it
- 18:57Speaker 7: is like to win and lose like a champ.
- 19:01Speaker 1: The Mets won.
- 19:02Speaker 7: The Yankees lost. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once.
- 19:05Speaker 7: I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 19:07Speaker 4: So they're out there trying to lobby our own Larry
- 19:14Speaker 4: Mendte against standing with me and so many others against
- 19:19Speaker 4: the AI data centers that are being built in residential neighborhoods.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Wait till you hear.
- 19:24Speaker 4: Listen to the onslaught coming up next as they're blaming
- 19:27Speaker 4: it all on red Chinese propaganda. But also, you should
- 19:31Speaker 4: know that iHeart has its musical festival once again presented

- 20:01Speaker 4: happens at 9 a.m.
- 20:03Speaker 5: On 710WOR.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Well, Curtis, we've been talking about AI data centers and
- 20:09Speaker 1: the fact that communities are uprising against them. For the
- 20:12Speaker 1: last few months, we've been talking about it. We were
- 20:15Speaker 1: talking about it when nobody else was.
- 20:16Speaker 5: Talking about it.
- 20:16Speaker 4: You're the one who brought it to everybody's attention, all
- 20:19Speaker 4: those town hall meetings in Jersey. Now, everybody else is
- 20:24Speaker 4: starting to mention it because it may impact the midterm elections.
- 20:28Speaker 1: Yeah, all of a sudden it's become a big issue
- 20:30Speaker 1: for a long time. It was just a community issue.
- 20:33Speaker 1: There were some communities throughout New Jersey especially, but it's
- 20:36Speaker 1: across the country now, that were saying, look, we don't
- 20:39Speaker 1: want one of these things next to our homes. That's
- 20:43Speaker 1: a reasonable request, right? And if it's going to be
- 20:46Speaker 1: next to our homes, we want these safeguards. That's a
- 20:49Speaker 1: reasonable request, right? And so we were calling attention to
- 20:54Speaker 1: it because they had a point there. These things were
- 20:57Speaker 1: being forced down their throats because there is a huge
- 21:01Speaker 1: conglomeration of AI companies and high-tech companies that are putting
- 21:08Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars into making this happen. And
- 21:12Speaker 1: everybody wants to do it fast. What I was surprised about,
- 21:16Speaker 1: I guess, is the pushback to that. Not by the politicians.
- 21:21Speaker 1: I understand the politicians. have some people that they owe,
- 21:25Speaker 1: that they get some money into their campaigns. I get that.
- 21:28Speaker 1: That's all legal, but they're going to now speak out
- 21:32Speaker 1: for all these AI data centers. There is a lot
- 21:35Speaker 1: of money to be had. It's great for the economy.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I think AI is the next great human innovation. I'm
- 21:41Speaker 1: all for AI, but the data centers don't have to
- 21:45Speaker 1: be in communities. And yet I constantly– we got it yesterday, Curtis.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Remember the talkbacks yesterday?
- 21:51Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, sure.
- 21:52Speaker 4: Remember, they're all– they're like bots. Blame it on the
- 21:55Speaker 4: red Chinese. Blame it on the red Chinese.
- 21:57Speaker 5: Just stop already. This was organic.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Yeah, but some of them are not bots because I
- 22:03Speaker 1: was talking to them yesterday. My mailbox was flooded with
- 22:07Speaker 1: social media. Wait, you were talking to chatbots?
- 22:09Speaker 18: No, maybe. Maybe.
- 22:12Speaker 5: Don't go there, Larry. Don't go there, Larry.
- 22:15Speaker 4: Pretty soon you'll be talking more to the chatbots than
- 22:18Speaker 4: your lovely wife.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Who knows these days, but I feel like I was
- 22:22Speaker 1: talking to people because for some reason, I'm the target.
- 22:27Speaker 5: For some reason, they're coming after me. You are, I
- 22:31Speaker 5: would say... more um.
- 22:34Speaker 4: Moderate in this position than me they know they're wasting
- 22:37Speaker 4: their time with me yeah we're gonna knock ourselves out
- 22:41Speaker 4: but maybe we can get larry who's like halfway there
- 22:44Speaker 4: to begin with maybe we could get him to jump
- 22:47Speaker 4: over to offside and blame everything on the red.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Chinese wow but we you know what i'm talking about
- 22:52Speaker 1: because we had talkbacks to.
- 22:53Speaker 19: This hey larry and curtis the whole ai data center
- 22:57Speaker 19: thing yeah that's chinese propaganda i think people on the
- 23:01Speaker 19: inside truly know that. However, the media is driving the message.
- 23:07Speaker 19: It's the same stupid messaging that drove the NIMBY crowd
- 23:11Speaker 19: back in the day and put us so far behind
- 23:14Speaker 19: on nuclear technology. Look, industrial centers run factories that we
- 23:20Speaker 19: don't hear. The same can be done with AI.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Now, that's very reasonable and you sound like a smart guy,
- 23:27Speaker 1: but I don't believe you're right. And the reason I
- 23:29Speaker 1: don't believe you're right is because this started months ago.
- 23:33Speaker 1: We're just paying attention to it now. Well, we were
- 23:36Speaker 1: paying attention to it months ago, but most people are
- 23:38Speaker 1: now paying attention to it. And now that people are realizing,
- 23:43Speaker 1: especially the high-tech industry is realizing, uh-oh, we got a
- 23:47Speaker 1: problem here. I think a lot of the talk about
- 23:52Speaker 1: Russian propaganda is actually high-tech propaganda. Because they want you
- 23:57Speaker 1: to believe that there's nothing wrong with these AI data centers,
- 24:02Speaker 1: that this is all the Chinese trying to be first,
- 24:05Speaker 1: and that's why then you jump on board. I believe
- 24:09Speaker 1: that's what's happening, a lot of it. Is there Chinese propaganda? Sure, absolutely.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Now there is, but that's not how this started. That
- 24:17Speaker 1: is not how this started.
- 24:19Speaker 4: And also, Larry, the spokespersons for the industry did such
- 24:23Speaker 4: a poor job. Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank.
- 24:27Speaker 5: He tanked.
- 24:28Speaker 4: He got eviscerated on TV. Steve Moore on radio, Zoey Swift,
- 24:33Speaker 4: Mark Simone, right?
- 24:34Speaker 5: He tanked. And now the latest one coming.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Out of Silicon Valley who's on trial, civil trial for
- 24:41Speaker 4: using metaphor pervs is Mark Zuckerberg.
- 24:45Speaker 5: You couldn't have three worse spokespersons.
- 24:47Speaker 4: So it's a little late to start catching up now.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and to everybody that called, and again, you seem
- 24:54Speaker 1: like you're extremely knowledgeable, and you seem like you're well-read,
- 24:57Speaker 1: and I've had two hours of conversations yesterday online going
- 25:02Speaker 1: back and forth with people, and I know they know
- 25:05Speaker 1: what they're talking about. But let me ask you this.
- 25:09Speaker 1: What is unreasonable? about working with the communities? What is
- 25:14Speaker 1: unreasonable about putting safeguards on when it comes to water
- 25:19Speaker 1: and it comes to power and it comes to noise?
- 25:22Speaker 1: What is unreasonable about getting money up front instead of
- 25:26Speaker 1: money promised? What is unreasonable about making certain that all
- 25:32Speaker 1: the things they say are going to happen positively to
- 25:35Speaker 1: these communities really happen? There was a tremendous, there was
- 25:39Speaker 1: a guy that was working in the industry that went
- 25:42Speaker 1: to a town hall in Michigan. We played them on
- 25:44Speaker 1: the air here. And he said, look, they're all trying
- 25:47Speaker 1: to get in fast because there's going to be a
- 25:49Speaker 1: bubble and not everybody's going to survive. And that's happened
- 25:51Speaker 1: every single time one of these high-tech explosions has happened.
- 25:55Speaker 1: So it's reasonable that that's going to happen. He said,
- 26:00Speaker 1: if they're promising all this stuff, if they're promising this
- 26:04Speaker 1: many jobs for this many years, then pay the money
- 26:07Speaker 1: up front and have the state hold it And pay
- 26:11Speaker 1: it out. And that way, when they close up in
- 26:15Speaker 1: a year, we have that money. I don't know why
- 26:21Speaker 1: you're fighting for the AI data centers. And you're giving
- 26:27Speaker 1: them carte blanche on where they should be and what
- 26:30Speaker 1: they should do and what they should impose on a community.
- 26:33Speaker 1: I really don't understand that. I would side with the
- 26:36Speaker 1: communities every single time. But I'm a little concerned about you. Natalie,
- 26:41Speaker 1: I think you're going to have to do an intervention.
- 26:43Speaker 1: You know how chatbots.
- 26:45Speaker 5: Clone one another?
- 26:46Speaker 1: Yes.
- 26:47Speaker 5: I think they're going at Larry now. These chatbots.
- 26:51Speaker 9: We noticed that specifically on this topic.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Be careful, Larry.
- 26:54Speaker 1: The first time. The first time. But I know these,
- 26:57Speaker 1: look at these people, many of them write to me
- 26:59Speaker 1: a lot. And so I know they're real. I know
- 27:03Speaker 1: they're real. And I'm not going to, Just brush them
- 27:06Speaker 1: aside by saying, oh, they're chatbots. These are real people,
- 27:09Speaker 1: and they have real opinions. I just think in this case,
- 27:14Speaker 1: your opinion needs to develop more because you're being misguided.
- 27:19Speaker 1: You're being misguided, and there are some people that are really,
- 27:22Speaker 1: really concerned. If you don't have one of these places
- 27:25Speaker 1: right next to you, certainly you shouldn't even be in
- 27:27Speaker 1: the conversation. Because they're the ones that are affected all
- 27:31Speaker 1: of the time. So we'll continue the conversation. I really
- 27:34Speaker 1: enjoyed it yesterday. I don't mind talking to you about it,
- 27:37Speaker 1: but it can't be two brick walls. There is a
- 27:40Speaker 1: middle ground in all of this, and I've given you
- 27:43Speaker 1: the middle ground. And so we should follow it as
- 27:46Speaker 1: some states already are.
- 27:47Speaker 20: So.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Now I guess I'm spending another two hours today.
- 27:51Speaker 5: Yeah, they're going to keep coming at you. They're going
- 27:54Speaker 5: to keep coming. Well, South Carolina's U.S.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Senate Republican primary, they determined that it would be Lindsey
- 28:01Speaker 4: Graham's sister who would.
- 28:03Speaker 5: Go on, but it was a real close race.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Well, you remember when Lindsey Graham died, his sister Darlene
- 28:13Speaker 1: Graham was sworn in to replace him and just to...
- 28:17Speaker 1: For the rest of the term. That's what everybody thought
- 28:19Speaker 1: at the time. And then she announced, guess what? I'm
- 28:21Speaker 1: going to run for Senate. And immediately Donald Trump supported
- 28:25Speaker 1: her for Senate. And then she had some problems in
- 28:29Speaker 1: the debates. She didn't know foreign policy. She was asked
- 28:31Speaker 1: a question about Taiwan. And she said, I'm going to
- 28:33Speaker 1: be honest with you. I know nothing about this. And
- 28:36Speaker 1: so she took a big hit. But she won anyway
- 28:40Speaker 1: in a special election. In the primary, you'll remember, nobody
- 28:43Speaker 1: got 50%. So there was a runoff of the top two.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Ralph Norman, who's been a congressman there, very popular for
- 28:50Speaker 1: a long time against Darlene Graham. And everybody thought Darlene Graham.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I just said it yesterday. I said yesterday, Darlene Graham,
- 28:57Speaker 1: she's going to win easily. She didn't win easily. She
- 29:00Speaker 1: won by just a few percentage points. She got 52%
- 29:04Speaker 1: of the vote to 48% of the vote for Ralph Norman.
- 29:08Speaker 1: So this easily could have gone the other way. So
- 29:12Speaker 1: let's talk about that in a second. But first, Here
- 29:15Speaker 1: is Darlene remembering her brother.
- 29:18Speaker 8: Thank you, Lindsay, for your service to South Carolina and
- 29:22Speaker 8: to this country. It's just not the same without you here.
- 29:27Speaker 1: So that's why she won. She won because not because
- 29:32Speaker 1: of a history of service to the country, not because
- 29:35Speaker 1: she knows a lot about foreign policy because she doesn't,
- 29:39Speaker 1: not because she's was absolutely qualified for the job. She
- 29:42Speaker 1: won because she was Lindsey Graham's sister. That's what it was.
- 29:46Speaker 1: And there's a lot of emotion and a lot of
- 29:47Speaker 1: good feelings about Lindsey Graham. So Ralph Norman gives a
- 29:51Speaker 1: concession speech. And I don't know how to phrase this.
- 29:57Speaker 1: It was the most bizarre concession speech I've seen in
- 30:01Speaker 1: a long time because he was not happy.
- 30:04Speaker 21: But, you know, the president got involved.
- 30:06Speaker 1: He has that right.
- 30:07Speaker 21: That's his prerogative. As I told, I never, well, y'all,
- 30:13Speaker 21: his policies are good. I never understood why he got
- 30:17Speaker 21: in this race to beat, you know, but it is
- 30:22Speaker 21: what it is, and I'll accept it.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Had Donald Trump not endorsed Darlene Graham, she would have lost.
- 30:31Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt. She's not ready for primetime.
- 30:35Speaker 4: Same way we criticize AOC much younger for when she
- 30:39Speaker 4: went over to the European Union and didn't.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Know our policy towards Taiwan, a.k.a.
- 30:44Speaker 5: Formosa. You know, she was flummoxed. She has time to recover.
- 30:49Speaker 4: You know, she's probably hitting the books now, all kinds
- 30:51Speaker 4: of geopolitical, you know, advisors and mentors. But... Let's face it,
- 30:57Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham's sister, nice woman, but not ready for prime
- 31:03Speaker 4: time for the U.S.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Senate.
- 31:04Speaker 4: She only got it because Trump chose her. Notice he
- 31:08Speaker 4: had to come into Myrtle Beach over the weekend. He
- 31:10Speaker 4: had to use his Trump cred. He dumped a million
- 31:12Speaker 4: dollars of his PAC money in the final vote. And
- 31:17Speaker 4: as you pointed out, she only beat him by 4%.
- 31:20Speaker 4: And Norman, if he had had another week, probably would
- 31:22Speaker 4: have beaten her.
- 31:24Speaker 1: I think so. And also, it wasn't just the million dollars.
- 31:27Speaker 1: There was the Republican National Committee poured money into that.
- 31:30Speaker 1: He didn't have any of the cash that she had.
- 31:33Speaker 21: We did this for service, and I hate it for
- 31:35Speaker 21: the state. But the public, South Carolina, made the decision.
- 31:42Speaker 21: We had $ 8 million spent against us.
- 31:44Speaker 6: I couldn't.
- 31:45Speaker 21: We couldn't come up with that much money.
- 31:47Speaker 1: And he almost won.
- 31:49Speaker 4: I know if we went to, what is that, Polygrip?
- 31:52Speaker 4: What do they call that again?
- 31:53Speaker 1: The two- Polymarket.
- 31:54Speaker 22: Right.
- 31:55Speaker 4: We could do a prediction on the fact that Joe Bartlett,
- 31:59Speaker 4: now a proud resident of South Carolina in retirement, Mr. W-O-R,
- 32:03Speaker 4: is not going to be voting for any Republican down
- 32:06Speaker 4: in South Carolina.
- 32:07Speaker 5: I can assure you that.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Why is that?
- 32:10Speaker 5: Oh, he's so anti-Trump. Yeah, he is.
- 32:12Speaker 1: He is. It's interesting. I wonder if he is registered
- 32:16Speaker 1: as a Republican. And I wonder if he voted for Norman.
- 32:21Speaker 9: Well, I think we're going to have to talk to
- 32:23Speaker 9: him soon.
- 32:23Speaker 5: Well, talk to him, but you can look that up
- 32:25Speaker 5: in registration. That's public.
- 32:27Speaker 4: You can find out if he's registered as a Democrat,
- 32:29Speaker 4: an Independent, or a Republican.
- 32:31Speaker 6: All right.
- 32:31Speaker 5: That's open to everybody.
- 32:33Speaker 1: I'll get on that.
- 32:34Speaker 5: While he's playing bocce so he doesn't find out.
- 32:38Speaker 4: But what this may do, not to say that a
- 32:41Speaker 4: Democrat can win that seat, that is solid Republican seat,
- 32:44Speaker 4: is some Republicans may be so disappointed they stay home.
- 32:48Speaker 5: They just stay home.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Maybe, but she's still going to win the seat. I mean,
- 32:52Speaker 1: she's going to win it pretty easily. And I think
- 32:54Speaker 1: Donald Trump is pretty happy about this because she's probably
- 32:56Speaker 1: going to do anything he wants. She's going to vote
- 33:00Speaker 1: any way he wants. And so he's happy. She's going
- 33:03Speaker 1: to be in there.
- 33:04Speaker 4: He's worried a little bit more, though, about Tom Cotton,
- 33:07Speaker 4: who basically is the new Lindsey Graham, you know, in
- 33:11Speaker 4: terms of his support for the president, in terms of
- 33:13Speaker 4: his support for the military. And for our intervention around
- 33:17Speaker 4: the world. That recent poll had Tom Cotton in Arkansas behind.
- 33:22Speaker 5: The Democrat who nobody knew.
- 33:23Speaker 15: Mr.
- 33:24Speaker 4: President, you got a lot of work out there. You
- 33:27Speaker 4: better be getting out there. Leave Mar-a-Lago, Bedminster, the White House.
- 33:32Speaker 4: You better get into those 50 states and start campaigning
- 33:36Speaker 4: for the Republicans.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'll tell you what, the one
- 33:39Speaker 1: thing we didn't need for the midterms was we have
- 33:42Speaker 1: a war with Iran, but now we're going to have
- 33:45Speaker 1: a tariff war with Canada. I really don't get this one.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I'm kind of with Curtis on this. I don't understand
- 33:52Speaker 1: what Donald Trump's doing, but we'll talk about the both sides.
- 33:56Speaker 1: That's coming up right after the 7 o'clock news. Oy vey,
- 34:00Speaker 1: oy vey, oy vey. I'm looking at the Wall Street Journal.
- 34:04Speaker 1: As you know, I like the hard copy, Larry. And
- 34:08Speaker 1: the lead story, U.S. launches new wave of sanctions against Iran.
- 34:12Speaker 1: All economic. No bombs, no missiles, no war. It's economic war. OK,
- 34:20Speaker 1: I can deal with that.
- 34:21Speaker 5: All right. Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't work. But
- 34:23Speaker 5: nobody gets killed in the process.
- 34:25Speaker 6: Right.
- 34:25Speaker 4: It's a hell of a lot better than when you're
- 34:27Speaker 4: bombing one another. and causing all kinds of chaos. Okay,
- 34:31Speaker 4: so let's give the president a try. It may work,
- 34:34Speaker 4: it may not work. But side by side in the
- 34:36Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal, Trump escalates threats against Canada. He imposes
- 34:42Speaker 4: new tariffs on autos and parts, the latest in a
- 34:45Speaker 4: growing trade battle that began this past Friday night when
- 34:50Speaker 4: both sides reached an impasse. And the President of the
- 34:54Speaker 4: United States said, hey, we're issuing 50% tariffs on a
- 34:58Speaker 4: number of products. The Prime Minister of Canada, who has
- 35:04Speaker 4: benefited from all this, oh boy, has he, Mark Carney, said, okay,
- 35:08Speaker 4: dollar for dollar, whatever you impose a tariff on, by
- 35:12Speaker 4: September 9th, we're going to impose the same tariff. And
- 35:15Speaker 4: then the President upped the ante and he increased the
- 35:19Speaker 4: number of products. Now, I'm saying to myself, At this time,
- 35:24Speaker 4: with the midterm elections a little more than two months away,
- 35:29Speaker 4: why do we have to have an economic war against Canada,
- 35:33Speaker 4: which is our number one trading partner in the world?
- 35:37Speaker 4: We do more exports to Canada than anywhere else. So
- 35:39Speaker 4: if you're concerned about the outcome of what might be
- 35:42Speaker 4: close elections in Michigan, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, Alaska, you have
- 35:47Speaker 4: to be concerned for Republicans because, man, this ain't going
- 35:51Speaker 4: over well. Then you had Vice President Vance. He's in Maine,
- 35:56Speaker 4: and he has a slip of the lip in which
- 35:58Speaker 4: he referred to Canada as a state, not as a
- 36:02Speaker 4: sovereign country.
- 36:03Speaker 5: So now Canadians are all angry.
- 36:07Speaker 4: And then Carney yesterday dropped the bomb, rhetorical bomb. He
- 36:12Speaker 4: said in English and French, because remember, 40% of the
- 36:16Speaker 4: population also speaks French.
- 36:17Speaker 5: He said, you will never own Canada, Trump.
- 36:21Speaker 23: Why?
- 36:22Speaker 1: I know.
- 36:23Speaker 5: And then one last insult to injury.
- 36:26Speaker 4: And the president has done this before and it doesn't work.
- 36:28Speaker 4: That's why he's much better when he's a candidate on
- 36:32Speaker 4: offense than when he's a president campaigning for reelection or
- 36:36Speaker 4: for Republicans on defense. Remember, he tried that thing, the
- 36:40Speaker 4: Gulf of Mexico.
- 36:41Speaker 5: You must refer to it as the Gulf of America.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Nobody does.
- 36:46Speaker 4: So he gets cute and he says, oh, we're going
- 36:48Speaker 4: to rename Lake Ontario Lake America.
- 36:51Speaker 5: I said, why?
- 36:53Speaker 10: Why?
- 36:53Speaker 4: Oh, why are you making it even more difficult for Republicans?
- 36:58Speaker 4: I'm beginning to wonder if Donald Trump really wants to
- 37:01Speaker 4: win these midterms because he seems to be doing so
- 37:04Speaker 4: much that is hurting that process for many of those
- 37:08Speaker 4: candidates who are in neck and neck races who need
- 37:11Speaker 4: all the help they can get. And a trade war
- 37:13Speaker 4: in Canada is I don't see any Republicans jumping up and.
- 37:16Speaker 5: Down and going, yay, yay. They're all going, you're kidding.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Oh, no, there are some that are. I mean, the
- 37:23Speaker 1: trade deals with Canada have always been unfair, especially when
- 37:27Speaker 1: it comes to automobiles and steel. And Donald Trump has
- 37:30Speaker 1: been upset about that for years. This didn't just start.
- 37:33Speaker 1: He was upset about this. in his first term, and
- 37:36Speaker 1: he thought he had a deal. The only reason this
- 37:39Speaker 1: is coming up again, the only reason. Remember, we had
- 37:43Speaker 1: some heavy tariffs on Canada anyway, because we were upset
- 37:47Speaker 1: with them from the very beginning. And so now they
- 37:51Speaker 1: wanted to come to the table and talk about this,
- 37:53Speaker 1: and then they pulled away after we thought we had
- 37:55Speaker 1: a deal. That's what Donald Trump is reacting to. And
- 37:59Speaker 1: so I just, I agree with you on one point,
- 38:03Speaker 1: one point only. The timing is awful. And I just
- 38:07Speaker 1: wonder if the Canadians knew that.
- 38:10Speaker 5: Oh, of course.
- 38:11Speaker 1: That that's the time to say, let's negotiate because you
- 38:14Speaker 1: have the midterms coming up and we have some power
- 38:17Speaker 1: over him. And Donald Trump said, screw you. I'm not
- 38:21Speaker 1: going to let me just tell you what he said.
- 38:23Speaker 5: And we've come to a deal with Canada.
- 38:25Speaker 6: As you know, the 50 percent tariffs across the board
- 38:28Speaker 6: were going on against Canada today. And they called yesterday
- 38:32Speaker 6: and they gave us the points that we had to have.
- 38:35Speaker 6: Very fair deal for both. The tariffs will be non-existent
- 38:39Speaker 6: for our farmers. Our farmers were paying tremendous tariffs. into Canada,
- 38:44Speaker 6: and those tariffs are going to be totally eviscerated, down
- 38:47Speaker 6: to zero.
- 38:48Speaker 1: Right, so it's 50% on everything else, not for the farmers.
- 38:52Speaker 1: He was able to work that out with them. But remember,
- 38:54Speaker 1: Carney has been an anti-Trumper. He won the election on
- 38:59Speaker 1: being an anti-Trumper. This helps him.
- 39:02Speaker 4: Who helped him win that election? Remember, the Canadians were
- 39:06Speaker 4: upset with Trudeau Jr. Too long, 10 years, not only
- 39:10Speaker 4: head of the Liberal Party in Canada... but also the
- 39:13Speaker 4: son of the former prime minister. They all wanted him
- 39:16Speaker 4: out there. That's why he's lip-locking with Katy Perry now.
- 39:19Speaker 4: I kiss the girl. She's now kissing the guy, Trudeau Jr.
- 39:23Speaker 4: Everybody hated Trudeau Jr. So the conservative in Canada had
- 39:27Speaker 4: a lead in the polls. So what did Donald Trump
- 39:30Speaker 4: start saying? Donald Trump started saying, yeah, Alberta should become
- 39:33Speaker 4: the 51st state. Yeah, maybe we'll just take over Canada. Well,
- 39:38Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the liberal guy Carney, who had
- 39:40Speaker 4: no shot, Mark Carney, because he's running in the same
- 39:43Speaker 4: party as Trudeau Jr., just shot up because he was defiant.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Then he goes to Europe, When nobody in the NATO
- 39:51Speaker 4: confab was speaking out against Trump because they feared him.
- 39:54Speaker 4: And he goes, oh, you're not taking Greenland. Over my
- 39:56Speaker 4: dead body. Remember, he led that charge. This is all news.
- 39:59Speaker 4: They all got on board. EU all got on board,
- 40:02Speaker 4: except for maybe England. But everybody else has worked out
- 40:06Speaker 4: trade deals with us and very beneficial trade deals with EU.
- 40:10Speaker 1: And Canada did not. No, don't say Larry.
- 40:13Speaker 4: The Supreme Court said that tariffs are illegal.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Why do you talk forever and then you talk over
- 40:17Speaker 1: me when I go to talk?
- 40:18Speaker 5: No, no, because quite frankly, you're wrong. Did the United
- 40:20Speaker 5: States Supreme Court say that tariffs are illegal in February?
- 40:23Speaker 5: We now had to pay for it.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Except we got a deal.
- 40:26Speaker 4: Listen.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Do we have a deal or don't we have a deal?
- 40:29Speaker 1: Are you going to say that's not true either?
- 40:30Speaker 5: Do you think Americans are in favor of tariffs?
- 40:31Speaker 1: You are so anti-Trump that everything you do, you're pro-Canada,
- 40:34Speaker 1: pro-EU because of Trump.
- 40:36Speaker 5: Who is pro-tariff here?
- 40:37Speaker 1: Because of Trump.
- 40:39Speaker 5: Who's pro-tariff? Who's pro-tariff? Who's jumping up and down saying
- 40:42Speaker 5: this is great?
- 40:43Speaker 4: We're going to economic war against Canada.
- 40:45Speaker 1: No, I didn't say that. I said it's bad timing.
- 40:48Speaker 1: It's bad for the midterms. Other than that, they have
- 40:51Speaker 1: been screwing us forever, and you seem like you're pro-Canada.
- 40:54Speaker 1: They have been screwing us forever on their tariffs. This
- 40:57Speaker 1: is the first president to go in and say, no,
- 41:01Speaker 1: that's going to stop.
- 41:02Speaker 4: You have two wars going on simultaneously. The first president
- 41:06Speaker 4: ever to take on Iran. That's big enough, right? Big
- 41:09Speaker 4: enough problem.
- 41:10Speaker 5: So now you're going to take on Canada, too.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Would you listen to me? Did I just agree with
- 41:14Speaker 1: you on the timing? Yes, I don't think the timing
- 41:16Speaker 1: of this politically is a question.
- 41:18Speaker 4: Stop!
- 41:19Speaker 5: For one second! Did the United States Supreme Court say
- 41:21Speaker 5: that tariffs are illegal?
- 41:22Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to listen to you until you
- 41:24Speaker 1: let me finish the sentence. Let me finish the sentence.
- 41:28Speaker 1: The tariffs have always been unfair. We have been gotten
- 41:31Speaker 1: screwed on tariffs for a long time. This is the
- 41:34Speaker 1: first president to go in and actually deal with the tariffs.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Should it have been done with before?
- 41:42Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 41:42Speaker 1: I don't think he should have come in and had
- 41:43Speaker 1: to do this. I don't think that should have happened.
- 41:46Speaker 1: The timing of this is awful. And I think you're right.
- 41:49Speaker 1: He was set up for this by Carney. And look,
- 41:53Speaker 1: we don't need trade with Canada. We really don't. We
- 41:56Speaker 1: can make the automobiles here. We help Canada more than
- 41:59Speaker 1: they help us. So I don't even know what Carney's
- 42:03Speaker 1: doing because he's going to suffer with this as well.
- 42:06Speaker 1: He said he's going to go to the EU and
- 42:08Speaker 1: all that's going to be fine with the EU. We'll
- 42:10Speaker 1: see if that works out. They're going to suffer more
- 42:12Speaker 1: than we're going to suffer.
- 42:13Speaker 5: He's going to China. China will do trade. Come on, Larry.
- 42:18Speaker 4: Who's saying, Carney, welcome to Beijing. We'll do all the
- 42:22Speaker 4: trade with you. We got products galore.
- 42:25Speaker 1: You really have no facts to back that up except
- 42:27Speaker 1: for the fact you think it's going to happen. What
- 42:29Speaker 1: he said is he's going to go to the EU.
- 42:31Speaker 1: That's what he said. He's going to go to the EU.
- 42:34Speaker 1: And you think the EU is going to say, oh, perfect.
- 42:37Speaker 5: Now back to the more important issue.
- 42:40Speaker 4: The Supreme Court is predominantly Trump-like, right, in their decisions.
- 42:44Speaker 4: mostly conservative. You know, they ruled that the tariffs are
- 42:48Speaker 4: illegal in February. We had to give so much money
- 42:51Speaker 4: back to contribute. Do you, you would not recognize that, Larry?
- 42:55Speaker 4: That's a fact. Yes, but we worked out deals. So
- 42:58Speaker 4: the tariff, the Supreme Court ruling, you're absolutely correct. That
- 43:01Speaker 4: is what happened. We've worked out deals since then. And
- 43:04Speaker 4: EU is happy and we're happy. The tariffs are fine now.
- 43:08Speaker 4: Why couldn't Canada do the same thing? Why couldn't they
- 43:11Speaker 4: do the same thing? You can't go and keep reaching
- 43:14Speaker 4: for things that are anti-Trump to help your argument, especially.
- 43:17Speaker 1: When they're old and they've been taken care of.
- 43:19Speaker 5: This is dumb.
- 43:20Speaker 4: The Lake of Ontario will now be the Lake of America.
- 43:23Speaker 5: How stupid is that?
- 43:24Speaker 1: You love that kind of stuff, and so does every
- 43:26Speaker 1: other Democrat. They jump on that kind of stuff. He
- 43:29Speaker 1: said it to tick them off. Yeah, because he's ticked off.
- 43:32Speaker 4: Well, that really helps Republicans who are running in those
- 43:34Speaker 4: states like Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Maine. It's not even going
- 43:38Speaker 4: to be talked about next week. Nobody's going to care
- 43:41Speaker 4: next week. The tariffs are a big deal. I agreed
- 43:43Speaker 4: with you on the tariffs. Let's see, the last time
- 43:45Speaker 4: America had tariffs was right before the Depression, and that helped.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Me to a depression. We're going to have a depression.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Well, be a historian, Larry. I know you don't like history.
- 43:54Speaker 1: No, I love history when it's correct.
- 43:55Speaker 5: History repeats itself, Larry.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. So when we have the Depression, you can
- 44:01Speaker 1: be happy because you can say I was right.
- 44:03Speaker 4: No, because I'm saying Trump, get focused. Cost a living.
- 44:09Speaker 4: That is the key issue in America. Affordability and get
- 44:13Speaker 4: the hell out of the Iran war or we're going
- 44:15Speaker 4: to lose the midterms. And then it's impeachment for Trump
- 44:18Speaker 4: and it's chaos the last few years.
- 44:20Speaker 1: And I agreed with you on that. That's what I
- 44:22Speaker 1: agreed with you. Nothing else you said that I agree
- 44:24Speaker 1: with you on, but I agree with you on that.
- 44:26Speaker 4: I'm just saying, nobody's talking about tariffs. Why you had
- 44:29Speaker 4: to do this all of a sudden when you have
- 44:31Speaker 4: an economic war against Iran?
- 44:33Speaker 5: Let's see how that works.
- 44:34Speaker 1: That was the one thing you were right about. I
- 44:36Speaker 1: agree with you.
- 44:36Speaker 4: Why do you launch an economic war against Canada at
- 44:39Speaker 4: the same time?
- 44:40Speaker 1: Got it.
- 44:40Speaker 19: Dumb.
- 44:41Speaker 4: Yep.
- 44:42Speaker 1: I agree with that part. Everything else, no. I'm pro-American,
- 44:46Speaker 1: not pro-Canada. All right. Let's figure out. Well, first of all,
- 44:50Speaker 1: we'd love to get your talkbacks on this. Also, guess what?
- 44:55Speaker 1: we have, there's some video online. You got to see,
- 44:57Speaker 1: remember the other day, we got a call, somebody saying it,
- 45:01Speaker 1: was that a comment? Was that a, what was that
- 45:04Speaker 1: in the air? Well, it ends up being SpaceX and
- 45:06Speaker 1: we got video of it online that we will take
- 45:08Speaker 1: you to. Also, we get another show in the sky
- 45:12Speaker 1: coming up the next couple of nights, a lunar eclipse.
- 45:16Speaker 1: We'll tell you how you can see it coming up next. Also,
- 45:21Speaker 1: Teachers make a difference each and every day. Now's your

- 45:47Speaker 1: a teacher now at iHeartRadio.com. slash teachers. Well, yesterday morning,
- 45:53Speaker 1: you might remember, we got a talk back about somebody
- 45:55Speaker 1: that saw something strange in the sky and immediately went
- 46:00Speaker 1: to our talk back page to tell us about it.
- 46:02Speaker 1: I'm calling from New Jersey.
- 46:03Speaker 24: I was just calling to ask your listeners if anybody
- 46:07Speaker 24: saw what was over Route 80 by Parsippany heading towards,
- 46:13Speaker 24: you know, the 280 divide over there, Route 80 and 280.
- 46:18Speaker 24: Something in the sky, like, it looked like a like
- 46:21Speaker 24: a comet, but it, you know, it was, it was weird.
- 46:24Speaker 1: I never saw it. That's why I'm just calling to
- 46:26Speaker 1: see if anything was reported. If anybody can find out
- 46:29Speaker 1: what the hell was that. And of course we had
- 46:32Speaker 1: other listeners call right away.
- 46:34Speaker 4: My jerk reaction right away was the guy's half in
- 46:37Speaker 4: the bag.
- 46:38Speaker 5: What is he talking about?
- 46:39Speaker 22: Right.
- 46:40Speaker 1: And it was proven that I was wrong. It was SpaceX,
- 46:43Speaker 1: which apparently had just taken off from Florida. And Natalie,
- 46:46Speaker 1: you say there's video of this.
- 46:48Speaker 9: Oh my gosh. Coming over Manhattan or the city, it was,
- 46:53Speaker 9: I mean, it wasn't like, oh, what is that? It
- 46:56Speaker 9: honestly looked like, I don't even think it looked like
- 47:00Speaker 9: a comet. It did look like a huge plume. There
- 47:05Speaker 9: was a trail, like a tail.
- 47:06Speaker 23: Wow.
- 47:08Speaker 9: It was incredible. And it was plain as day. I mean,
- 47:11Speaker 9: you could not miss it. You knew it was something
- 47:13Speaker 9: that is not normal.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's exactly what he said. So that's what
- 47:18Speaker 1: he saw when he saw it. So how can people
- 47:21Speaker 1: see the video of this?
- 47:23Speaker 6: You know what?
- 47:23Speaker 9: I'll get it up on Instagram.
- 47:24Speaker 1: Okay. It's really fun. 710WOR on Instagram. Now, tomorrow night,
- 47:31Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about this tomorrow, but tomorrow night,
- 47:33Speaker 1: you're going to want to look up in the sky too,
- 47:36Speaker 1: because we are going to have for our entire area,
- 47:39Speaker 1: a deep partial lunar eclipse happening. That's going to be
- 47:43Speaker 1: seen across New York and across New Jersey and Connecticut. Actually,
- 47:46Speaker 1: the whole East Coast. So it'll start tomorrow night and
- 47:50Speaker 1: the moon will turn a reddish blood moon.
- 47:54Speaker 4: Oh, no. You know what's going to happen. Nancy's going
- 47:56Speaker 4: to be in Central Park baying to the moon. You know,
- 48:00Speaker 4: her nickname is Lone Wolf Juan. She does that. She
- 48:03Speaker 4: howls anyway. Now she's going to be howling all day
- 48:07Speaker 4: and all night like a wolf.
- 48:09Speaker 1: The red moon is just the beginning of an eclipse.
- 48:12Speaker 1: So the eclipse is going to start Friday morning, right
- 48:15Speaker 1: after midnight, 12, 13 a.m. Then you're going to have
- 48:18Speaker 1: a partial eclipse beginning. You have a maximum peak eclipse
- 48:24Speaker 1: at about 147 when 96% of the moon will be eclipsed.
- 48:29Speaker 1: So it's never going to be fully covered, but about 96,
- 48:32Speaker 1: which is actually cooler because you're able to see something then.
- 48:36Speaker 1: And then it's all going to end at 3 a.m.
- 48:38Speaker 1: So if you're not working Saturday and you want to
- 48:41Speaker 1: take a nap and get up and watch a red
- 48:44Speaker 1: moon and then a partial eclipse, there are your times.
- 48:47Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it tomorrow.
- 48:48Speaker 4: And if you hear anybody howling in Manhattan, it's Nancy,
- 48:51Speaker 4: her nickname Lone Wolf One.
- 48:55Speaker 1: Now let's get some more talkbacks. And of course, almost
- 48:59Speaker 1: all of the talkbacks, as they should be, are about
- 49:02Speaker 1: Dolly Parton.
- 49:03Speaker 25: Which path do you take in life? Someone like Dolly
- 49:08Speaker 25: Parton stayed on the positive path no matter what. I
- 49:14Speaker 25: was truly beaten as a child by my mother. it
- 49:20Speaker 25: paid me an a-hole for a good part of my
- 49:23Speaker 25: life but looking back at people like dolly i just
- 49:29Speaker 25: wow they were still good no matter what.
- 49:33Speaker 8: That's amazing.
- 49:34Speaker 1: We're getting some really heartfelt talkbacks from people we haven't
- 49:39Speaker 1: heard from before.
- 49:40Speaker 26: Ditto on everything you said about Dolly. I really began
- 49:45Speaker 26: to rediscover her the last couple of years. She did
- 49:48Speaker 26: a bunch of beautiful duets or collaborations, they call them,
- 49:54Speaker 26: with Christian music for King & Country. God Only Knows,
- 49:59Speaker 26: what a great song, and Zach Williams, Then There Was Jesus,
- 50:02Speaker 26: and they made videos. They were beautiful. Go check those out,
- 50:06Speaker 26: and God bless Dolly.
- 50:09Speaker 4: I will.
- 50:10Speaker 1: I haven't seen them. Thanks for that.
- 50:12Speaker 10: Who didn't like Dolly Parton and self-deprecating? She says, boy,
- 50:17Speaker 10: it takes a lot of money to look this cheap.
- 50:20Speaker 1: I loved.
- 50:22Speaker 15: Her.
- 50:23Speaker 5: She was funny.
- 50:24Speaker 4: Yes. And she understood self-deprecation would set her apart from
- 50:29Speaker 4: everyone else who was too full of themselves. They would
- 50:32Speaker 4: never self-deprecate because they would think, oh, my God, that's
- 50:35Speaker 4: like taking away from whatever it was that they were doing.
- 50:39Speaker 5: That was her charm.
- 50:41Speaker 4: That's what made her somebody's like you say, she looks
- 50:45Speaker 4: like she was attacked by a flea market. She'd say,
- 50:48Speaker 4: who knew you'd spend so much money to look so cheap?
- 50:53Speaker 1: I think that if.
- 50:54Speaker 22: Each and every one of us took a little piece
- 50:58Speaker 22: of what Dolly was, the world might be a better place, right?
- 51:02Speaker 22: She was so caring, giving, loving. She was just a kind,
- 51:06Speaker 22: kind person. And she will be remembered for that. Isn't
- 51:09Speaker 22: that beautiful? Man, I think that's just so amazing. She
- 51:15Speaker 22: will be remembered for all those beautiful things.
- 51:18Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. Yeah, that was really nice. And I'll
- 51:21Speaker 1: tell you what, she was never in a feud, never
- 51:23Speaker 1: talked bad about anybody else. I mean, it was so
- 51:26Speaker 1: unlike the stars of today.
- 51:27Speaker 27: Hello, Dolly. Good night, Dolly. I know you're gone. It's
- 51:31Speaker 27: kind of hard to accept. You're always so authentic, never shifting.
- 51:37Speaker 27: Like other people, always consistent. Actress, singer, songwriter. All-around good person.
- 51:46Speaker 27: I guess heaven needed someone to sit on their board
- 51:50Speaker 27: of angels.
- 51:52Speaker 1: Godspeed.
- 51:53Speaker 5: Oh, they're so beautiful.
- 51:55Speaker 1: You guys are so good today.
- 51:57Speaker 4: Well, you can see she touches people's hearts.
- 52:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Nobody has anything bad to say about Dolly Parton. Now,
- 52:04Speaker 1: Daria Albinger with the 730 News. Daria.
- 52:07Speaker 18: Morning, guys.
- 52:07Speaker 7: You know, I was listening to a lot of Dolly
- 52:10Speaker 7: Parton yesterday after I heard about this. And one thing
- 52:12Speaker 7: I ran across, and I recommend listening to it if
- 52:15Speaker 7: you really love Dolly Parton, is Pink's introduction to her
- 52:19Speaker 7: when she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
- 52:21Speaker 7: of Fame. She says not only did Dolly Parton get
- 52:26Speaker 7: the jokes about her, she wrote the jokes about her.
- 52:30Speaker 7: And all she cared is that you listened. Because if
- 52:33Speaker 7: you listened, you know, she touched you. Sunny and warm
- 52:37Speaker 7: today with a high near 80 degrees. Flags across the
- 52:40Speaker 7: country are at half staff today and they will be
- 52:42Speaker 7: for a week in honor of Parton.
- 52:44Speaker 18: President Trump made the order for the iconic country music
- 52:46Speaker 18: star who died Tuesday at the age of 80. Trump
- 52:49Speaker 18: posted on his Truth Social platform in her honor. calling
- 52:52Speaker 18: her death a true loss for millions of people. He
- 52:55Speaker 18: ordered flags at half-staff for one week. Her publicity team
- 52:58Speaker 18: said that Parton died peacefully in Nashville.
- 53:00Speaker 5: I'm Mark Mayfield.
- 53:01Speaker 7: The Empire State Building was lit up pink last night
- 53:04Speaker 7: in honor of the country music legend and humanitarian who
- 53:08Speaker 7: lost her battle with cancer. In 1978, Dolly Parton got
- 53:11Speaker 7: a key to New York City from then-Mayor Ed Koch.
- 53:14Speaker 7: Are you old enough to ride a city bike, and
- 53:17Speaker 7: should you have to prove it for that matter?
- 53:19Speaker 16: Council Speaker Julie Bennett is pushing the Department of Transportation
- 53:22Speaker 16: to work with Lyft on putting an age verification system
- 53:25Speaker 16: in place to stop underage riders. Mayor Zoran Mamdani seems skeptical.
- 53:30Speaker 18: We were in front of a number of the risks
- 53:32Speaker 18: that would come with the implementation of this.
- 53:34Speaker 12: Risks that include... handling of data of minors in New
- 53:38Speaker 12: York City.
- 53:38Speaker 16: Mennon is hoping it can be done while protecting personal information.
- 53:42Speaker 16: Right now, there's no way for authorities to verify user ages.
- 53:45Speaker 16: City bike riders must be at least 16 years old.
- 53:48Speaker 16: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 53:50Speaker 7: We are in the dog days of summer, so it's
- 53:52Speaker 7: only fitting that today is National Dog Day. It was
- 53:54Speaker 7: created back in 2004 to raise awareness of the huge
- 53:58Speaker 7: numbers of dogs that need adoption and to honor the
- 54:01Speaker 7: many contributions that service dogs make. And congratulations to the
- 54:05Speaker 7: boys from Bayonne on a great showing at the Little
- 54:06Speaker 7: League World Series. They're coming home today after they fell
- 54:09Speaker 7: to Ohio 5-2 last night, but they still made New
- 54:13Speaker 7: Jersey pretty darn proud. Mets won, Yankees lost. Next news,
- 54:18Speaker 7: 8 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 54:22Speaker 4: Oh, right on time up next, tech expert Rich DeMuro.
- 54:27Speaker 4: I hope you don't mind, Larry. I'm going to be
- 54:29Speaker 4: asking him about your conversations with these chatbots now. Maybe
- 54:36Speaker 4: there's a problem here. You don't mind. I mean, he's
- 54:38Speaker 4: the expert, right?
- 54:38Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 54:39Speaker 5: You're not. Natalie's not.
- 54:40Speaker 4: The quiet storm here on Alone from the Mark Simone Show.
- 54:45Speaker 5: Chris, he's not. So don't take offense to this.
- 54:48Speaker 4: We're going to ask Rich a lot of tech questions
- 54:50Speaker 4: up next, but especially about chatbots. Rich DeMuro, our tech
- 54:55Speaker 4: expert here at WOR, I need a favor from you.
- 54:59Speaker 4: You may have to do an intervention. There's information that 50%
- 55:03Speaker 4: of U.S. adults use AI chatbots. 48% have conversations with
- 55:10Speaker 4: AI chatbots not about work. And our own Larry Menti
- 55:16Speaker 4: is engaged with chatbots trying to convince them that the
- 55:20Speaker 4: people protesting about AI data filing centers in their neighborhoods
- 55:26Speaker 4: are justified.
- 55:28Speaker 5: Can you do an intervention with Larry, please?
- 55:30Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on. This is fake news, Rich. These weren't.
- 55:34Speaker 1: These word chatbots, that's just him thinking that. These are
- 55:37Speaker 1: actual people that are upset with me because I was
- 55:40Speaker 1: saying that there's a middle ground on these AI data centers.
- 55:44Speaker 1: You can talk about the chatbots. Let's talk about the
- 55:47Speaker 1: AI data centers afterwards.
- 55:49Speaker 20: A middle ground? I didn't think there was a middle
- 55:51Speaker 20: ground anywhere anymore. I thought it had to be one
- 55:54Speaker 20: way or the other for everything, including data centers.
- 55:57Speaker 1: I think you're right. The people I talked to yesterday
- 56:01Speaker 1: feel the way you do, that's for sure.
- 56:03Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 56:04Speaker 20: So, I mean, look, these chatbots, we are asking so
- 56:07Speaker 20: many questions of the chatbots. I'll be honest, I'm running
- 56:10Speaker 20: almost any decision I make through a chatbot. And it's
- 56:13Speaker 20: not because I overwhelmingly trust it with everything. I think
- 56:16Speaker 20: there's two levels of this. Number one, there's romance and relationships.
- 56:20Speaker 20: People are asking for advice and they're trying to learn
- 56:23Speaker 20: more about themselves and their friends and their loved ones.
- 56:26Speaker 20: That's number one. Number two is offloading a little bit
- 56:30Speaker 20: of the tiny decisions we have to make on a
- 56:32Speaker 20: daily basis. Like, you know, which hotel do I stay at?
- 56:36Speaker 20: Give me an itinerary for this place. I'm traveling. What
- 56:38Speaker 20: do you think is better time to go? You know,
- 56:40Speaker 20: like those kinds of questions. So I don't think it's
- 56:42Speaker 20: necessarily bad. I think where it gets kind of weird
- 56:45Speaker 20: is when people are developing a relationship and Larry, you're
- 56:48Speaker 20: not there just yet.
- 56:49Speaker 5: Are you?
- 56:51Speaker 1: I don't even know if they were chat bots. That's
- 56:53Speaker 1: just a Curtis assuming they were because, uh, We were
- 56:57Speaker 1: talking about AI data centers. We've been talking about this
- 56:59Speaker 1: for a long, long time, actually. And we're getting blowback
- 57:03Speaker 1: from a whole number of people that think it's all
- 57:07Speaker 1: Russian propaganda. That the fact that there's anybody that doesn't
- 57:11Speaker 1: want these AI data centers in their communities or springing
- 57:14Speaker 1: up all across the country, that that is all Russian propaganda.
- 57:18Speaker 1: And what I've been saying, Rich, just so you know,
- 57:21Speaker 1: is I said, look, we were on to this for
- 57:24Speaker 1: several months, almost six months we've been talking about this.
- 57:26Speaker 1: before a lot of people were talking about it, because
- 57:29Speaker 1: we watch the town hall meetings and we watch the
- 57:31Speaker 1: city council meetings. But it's funny, Rich, and I'm sure
- 57:36Speaker 1: you're dealing with this too, is that there's two distinct
- 57:39Speaker 1: sides and nobody's willing to come up with a solution.
- 57:43Speaker 20: Well, and here's what's going to happen. If we don't
- 57:45Speaker 20: allow any of these data centers, and obviously they need
- 57:48Speaker 20: to be regulated, they need to be in places where
- 57:50Speaker 20: they are benefiting the communities that they're putting them in.
- 57:53Speaker 20: They need to create jobs. They need to not take
- 57:55Speaker 20: power away from the people in the immediate area and
- 57:58Speaker 20: make sure water is still available. But the reality is,
- 58:01Speaker 20: if we don't build these things, we will fall behind.
- 58:04Speaker 20: And that's not a joke. We need to be able
- 58:06Speaker 20: to compute with AI. It takes a lot. And we
- 58:10Speaker 20: just don't have the resources. And so if we don't
- 58:12Speaker 20: do this, other people will do it, like China, like
- 58:15Speaker 20: other countries, that will open source these models that they're
- 58:18Speaker 20: coming up with, and there goes all the money that
- 58:21Speaker 20: the U.S. people have invested in these major companies because
- 58:25Speaker 20: they thought it was going to work out.
- 58:26Speaker 1: I agree with you a thousand percent, and you basically
- 58:29Speaker 1: said many of the things that I've been saying to people,
- 58:31Speaker 1: but there's two distinct sides, and they don't see a
- 58:33Speaker 1: middle ground. I don't want to spend all the time
- 58:35Speaker 1: on this. You have other things to talk about. We
- 58:37Speaker 1: can talk about it another time, but yeah, it is
- 58:40Speaker 1: the issue, and it's going to be a big issue
- 58:42Speaker 1: in the midterms coming up.
- 58:44Speaker 20: Yeah, that's for sure. And look, I think that a
- 58:46Speaker 20: lot of people are latching onto it because of that.
- 58:49Speaker 20: So anytime you get a hot topic issue that people
- 58:51Speaker 20: are very invested in one side or the other, it
- 58:54Speaker 20: becomes the only thing to talk about, whether people really
- 58:57Speaker 20: have an opinion on it or they really know what
- 58:58Speaker 20: they're talking about or not.
- 59:00Speaker 4: Rich DeMuro, let me do a pivot and shift. We
- 59:02Speaker 4: have a Gen Z-er amongst us. He is the Quiet Storm, Chris,
- 59:07Speaker 4: our producer in studio while Natalie is recovering from knee
- 59:10Speaker 4: surgery at home. She's participating. But Chris is one who
- 59:14Speaker 4: would jump at any offer. of a party invitation that
- 59:19Speaker 4: comes online. He's like Spuds McKenzie. You invite him to
- 59:23Speaker 4: a party, he's there with his PlayStation.
- 59:26Speaker 5: I mean, he's going. Could you warn him and the
- 59:29Speaker 5: other Gen.
- 59:29Speaker 4: Zers that there are a lot of fake invites out there,
- 59:33Speaker 4: and why are they doing that?
- 59:36Speaker 20: This one is, this is like the scam that will
- 59:39Speaker 20: not die. This has been going on for a while now,
- 59:41Speaker 20: but I continue to get these personally on a daily basis.
- 59:45Speaker 20: My wife got one yesterday. She emailed me. She said,
- 59:47Speaker 20: are you sure I know this person? I said, it's fake.
- 59:50Speaker 20: And what's happening is these scammers are hijacking people's email addresses. So,
- 59:56Speaker 20: you know, when you have a weak password and a
- 59:58Speaker 20: weak login, scammers get access to your account.
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: What do they do?
- 1:00:01Speaker 20: They immediately use it to their advantage. So they send
- 1:00:04Speaker 20: out these invitations or anything else from your email. So
- 1:00:07Speaker 20: it looks like it came from a trusted friend and
- 1:00:10Speaker 20: it's either an Evite or a paperless post or a
- 1:00:12Speaker 20: punch bowl or any other of a thousand different party invites.
- 1:00:16Speaker 20: And it says, hey, you're cordially invited to my party invitation,
- 1:00:20Speaker 20: whatever it is. And it says, click here to learn
- 1:00:23Speaker 20: the details. And you're like, well, I know this person.
- 1:00:25Speaker 20: Let me click. Well, you click there. It's going to
- 1:00:27Speaker 20: download something on your computer. It's going to put malware
- 1:00:30Speaker 20: on there. It might put remote access software.
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: Don't do it.
- 1:00:34Speaker 20: I've had so many people email me saying, Rich, I
- 1:00:37Speaker 20: fell for this. I did it. It took me all
- 1:00:39Speaker 20: week to get my computer back to normal.
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: I got one of those.
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Rich.
- 1:00:45Speaker 5: Did you click?
- 1:00:46Speaker 9: No, I did not because it was a lunch invitation
- 1:00:49Speaker 9: from a friend. I'm like, she would not be sending
- 1:00:51Speaker 9: me a lunch invitation. So I sent her a text.
- 1:00:53Speaker 9: I said, did you want to go out with the
- 1:00:55Speaker 9: lunch with me?
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: She's like, what?
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: I got this e-bike.
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: I don't even know.
- 1:01:00Speaker 14: Exactly.
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: She had no idea. She's like, oh, no. Now, Natalie,
- 1:01:04Speaker 5: did she ask you if you were paying for the lunch?
- 1:01:08Speaker 8: She's like, yeah, if you pay, where are we going?
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: It's amazing, Rich. You were always working. I see you
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: were at a restaurant show. I know you go to
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: these tech shows all the time, but you went to
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the restaurant show because there's some advances in tech at
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the restaurants?
- 1:01:23Speaker 20: Well, you know, I mean, restaurants, huge adopters of technology
- 1:01:27Speaker 20: because everyone I talk to says that, and this is
- 1:01:30Speaker 20: wild to me to understand this, but they all say,
- 1:01:32Speaker 20: every single person I talk to at any restaurant show
- 1:01:34Speaker 20: says there's not a lot of people that want to work.
- 1:01:37Speaker 20: It's tough to find people to make the pizzas, to
- 1:01:39Speaker 20: make the food, to serve the food, which I still
- 1:01:42Speaker 20: can't believe. You would think there'd be unlimited amounts of
- 1:01:45Speaker 20: people to do this stuff, but they are turning to
- 1:01:47Speaker 20: technology to try to fill some of those gaps and
- 1:01:49Speaker 20: obviously automate some things. I saw a pizza oven that
- 1:01:53Speaker 20: can make up to 200 pizzas in an hour thanks
- 1:01:56Speaker 20: to a robot that stretches the dough. I also saw,
- 1:01:59Speaker 20: and I thought this was probably the best thing that
- 1:02:01Speaker 20: I saw. I thought it really solves a problem. You
- 1:02:03Speaker 20: know how you go to a restaurant, you're on the patio,
- 1:02:06Speaker 20: And it's got those space heaters, you know, they have
- 1:02:08Speaker 20: to move around. I'm a little cold. I'm a little hot.
- 1:02:10Speaker 20: It's such a pain for everyone involved, right? You got
- 1:02:12Speaker 20: to flag someone down. The guy doesn't want to do it.
- 1:02:14Speaker 20: They light it for an hour. So this company called Focal,
- 1:02:17Speaker 20: it's a San Francisco startup. They put in basically the
- 1:02:20Speaker 20: idea of like almost like hanging lights, it looks like.
- 1:02:24Speaker 20: But each one is a tiny mini heater that's directed
- 1:02:26Speaker 20: at each individual seat. And you from your seat can
- 1:02:30Speaker 20: turn it on, turn it off and adjust the level.
- 1:02:33Speaker 20: So if you're sitting with one other person... They want
- 1:02:35Speaker 20: it hot. You want it cold. You can have it
- 1:02:37Speaker 20: that way. And nobody has to move anything around. I
- 1:02:39Speaker 20: thought that was brilliant. I think every restaurant is going
- 1:02:41Speaker 20: to have that in the future.
- 1:02:42Speaker 5: Love that.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: Genius.
- 1:02:44Speaker 8: That's great.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: Can I have that in my house?
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: Rich on Tech is heard Sunday nights from 8 to
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: 11 p.m.
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: On WOR.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: At Rich on Tech on Instagram is how you can
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: reach out to him. Rich, thanks so much.
- 1:02:57Speaker 20: Larry, stay off those chatbots, please.
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: Yeah, Larry, stay off those chatbots.
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: But anyway, up next, Natalie Migliore was down in the
- 1:03:05Speaker 4: streets asking New Yorkers about the passing of Dolly Parton.
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: But you heard our tech guy, right, Rich DeMuro, talk
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: to you about how scammers are getting you into these
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: fake online party invitations in which you're giving personal information.
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: And you're beginning to wonder, wait, wait, wait, wait. How
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: do they have my home address? How do they have
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: my email? How do they have my phone number? It's
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: these data brokers and these people search sites.
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: They can do this legally. They can bundle it. And oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: It doesn't matter.
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: The person that's trying to scam you, they're claiming it's
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: from Evite, Paperless Post, or Punchbowl. All they want to
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: do is get your data. And then all of a sudden,
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: that's double trouble. So now you've heard it from a
- 1:03:56Speaker 4: tech expert, and it's happening all over the place. So
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: do yourself a favor. Set up the firewall. In fact,
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: encourage your family and friends to do likewise as I've
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: done with Incogni.
- 1:04:08Speaker 5: I'll spell it out for you. I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: It has scrubbed my info from over 400 sites while
- 1:04:15Speaker 4: I did exactly nothing. And then they go back to
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: make sure they're not naive. Whack them all that it's
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: off those sites. So you lock your doors every night. Tonight,
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: lock down your address and your personal information. Go to
- 1:04:28Speaker 4: incogni.com slash Curtis for 60% off and let your family
- 1:04:32Speaker 4: and friends know they should too. That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I dot com
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: slash Curtis.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: So you were down in the streets to sort of
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: get the sense of people's loss with the passing of
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: Dolly Parton.
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: How was it, Natalie?
- 1:04:56Speaker 28: Yeah, I mean, it's a legacy that transcends generations. Dolly Parton,
- 1:05:01Speaker 28: really everyone celebrating her life with fans like Jane Fonda
- 1:05:05Speaker 28: or friends, I should say, giving back.
- 1:05:08Speaker 8: Touching tributes saying, Fonda.
- 1:05:11Speaker 28: Says, more than anyone she has ever known, Dolly will
- 1:05:15Speaker 28: always be with us because she was so present, so powerful,
- 1:05:19Speaker 28: so generous and playful that she is woven into all
- 1:05:23Speaker 28: of our lives and hearts forever. That was one of
- 1:05:25Speaker 28: the first tributes I saw when it happened. And I
- 1:05:29Speaker 28: think that a lot of people are Are really taking
- 1:05:32Speaker 28: that into account. Dolly, not just an American icon, but
- 1:05:36Speaker 28: known worldwide.
- 1:05:38Speaker 8: She had a great heart. She was just wonderful.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: She was a wonderful person.
- 1:05:42Speaker 8: She was full of goodness and kindness and she loved
- 1:05:44Speaker 8: her family.
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: I'm not a fan of hers, but the name is
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: very familiar. She's been around for decades, years, and it's sad.
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: She's a legend. She's been around forever, man. I was
- 1:05:54Speaker 5: a little child watching her on TV.
- 1:05:56Speaker 12: I never was really too much into that. But when
- 1:05:59Speaker 12: I heard about it, obviously I was devastated because she
- 1:06:02Speaker 12: was like a legend for country music. And I know
- 1:06:05Speaker 12: she did so much for the people in that community
- 1:06:08Speaker 12: and even the queer community.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: You know what I didn't think about that one of
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: your talkbacks said? The longevity. Of her career.
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: She's been around for, like he said, from when I
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: was a little kid. That's amazing.
- 1:06:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:06:19Speaker 8: And he was grown.
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: Trust me. He was grown man.
- 1:06:23Speaker 28: So Dolly was long an ally of the LGBT community,
- 1:06:28Speaker 28: often saying in interviews that it wasn't her job.
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: To judge others.
- 1:06:32Speaker 28: She told Larry King, judging others was God's job, and
- 1:06:35Speaker 28: she had plenty of things to do other than God's job.
- 1:06:39Speaker 28: Dolly wasn't just a singer. She was a successful businesswoman,
- 1:06:43Speaker 28: but an avid philanthropist. She always said she knew who
- 1:06:47Speaker 28: she was, encouraging people to find out who they were,
- 1:06:52Speaker 28: and to do it on purpose.
- 1:06:53Speaker 8: That's one of her famous quotes.
- 1:06:55Speaker 28: People weighing in on how she managed to stay so
- 1:06:57Speaker 28: true to herself while also donating so much.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much awesome that she did that
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: and kept it real and did her thing and a
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: lot of positivity. So, yes, she will be missed. It's
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: all to her, you know, the type of person she was,
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: real person.
- 1:07:16Speaker 9: She just had a kindness and she didn't... have a
- 1:07:19Speaker 9: lot to do with her money, I suppose.
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: She made a lot of it.
- 1:07:22Speaker 8: So she was just generous and kind.
- 1:07:25Speaker 12: I mean, no one has to give to people. So
- 1:07:28Speaker 12: the fact that she did that out of the goodness
- 1:07:29Speaker 12: of her heart and she gave so much of what
- 1:07:32Speaker 12: she has to people that don't have anything or little
- 1:07:35Speaker 12: to anything, especially for the fans or people that don't
- 1:07:38Speaker 12: even know her, it's inspiring.
- 1:07:40Speaker 8: So inspiring that the Empire State Building glowed pink for
- 1:07:43Speaker 8: her last night and the president ordered flags be flown
- 1:07:47Speaker 8: at half-staff in her honor.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: She was an icon, so I think it should happen.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Each president does their own thing, you know? It's not
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: changing anything I do, so. To her testament, she deserves
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: whatever she gets. She was a real person.
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: I think that it's awesome.
- 1:08:02Speaker 12: I know that the flags are not usually flown half-mass
- 1:08:06Speaker 12: for civilians, so that was really cool to see, and
- 1:08:08Speaker 12: I did see the Empire State Building last night. It
- 1:08:10Speaker 12: was beautiful.
- 1:08:11Speaker 28: Yeah, and she's on track to get her Broadway musical
- 1:08:14Speaker 28: still That's supposed to open on what would have been
- 1:08:16Speaker 28: her 81st birthday, December 7th.
- 1:08:18Speaker 8: But really, guys, her.
- 1:08:20Speaker 28: Legacy is just, it's almost, it's not controversial in a way.
- 1:08:24Speaker 28: You've got people from all political points of views, all
- 1:08:28Speaker 28: walks of life who know her, who love her, and
- 1:08:31Speaker 28: who are happy to honor her, really.
- 1:08:33Speaker 5: Well, she never was political. You understand?
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: I don't ever remember her siding with somebody running for
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: office or a particular issue or And like I said,
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: you could see her entertaining with a group of rebels
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: there wearing confederate caps right next to the drag queens.
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: And they're all getting along. I don't know of anybody
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: else who could have been able to do that. Right.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: She's so smart to do that. I mean, you never
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: saw her at the. White House. You've never seen her
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: at any political event. You've never seen her appearing with
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: a politician in all those years and decades. That was brilliant.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: And that had to be planned. That had to be
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: thought out.
- 1:09:11Speaker 5: She was brilliant.
- 1:09:13Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:09:13Speaker 9: She was a smart woman.
- 1:09:14Speaker 28: And she would say that. She would say the jokes
- 1:09:17Speaker 28: on everyone else. They think I'm this blonde. I'm not
- 1:09:19Speaker 28: even blonde.
- 1:09:20Speaker 5: That's what she would say.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore, that was great. She'll be back tomorrow at
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: the exact same time. Well, the leches in Congress better
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: watch out. The women are after them. We'll explain after
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: the 8 o'clock news. Congress seems to have a real problem.
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: They have a lot of leches in their midst. Let
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: me give you a list. This is just over the
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: last couple of years. The names of congressmen and senators
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: who are either under investigation, have had to give up
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: their jobs, or were disciplined in some way for sexual misconduct,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: usually with aides, usually with women that work with them,
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: that adore them and would do anything for them except
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: what they are asking for. which is way out of bounds.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: These are men of power that are forcing themselves on
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: aides that are working for them. I'll give you the list.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Jimmy Gomez, Matt Gaetz, Pat Meehan, Eric Swalwell, Chuck Edwards,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, Corey Mills.
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: And right now.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: There's an investigation going into Ruben Gallego, who was allegedly
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: with Eric Swalwell, when he was forcing himself on women.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: And some of them are much, much younger than them.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: So now there is a coalition of women, congressmen and senators,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: who are getting together to form a task force to
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: fight sexual misconduct in the workplace. And it's run by,
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: and she is a pit bull, Kat Kamak of Florida.
- 1:11:05Speaker 23: A reoccurring problem, which is why we have now had
- 1:11:09Speaker 23: to form a working group, that being myself as chair
- 1:11:12Speaker 23: of the Republican Women's Caucus and Teresa Ledger Fernandez as
- 1:11:16Speaker 23: the chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus. We've come together
- 1:11:19Speaker 23: to put together a reform package that is actually going
- 1:11:22Speaker 23: to have teeth, because if it doesn't bite, then it
- 1:11:25Speaker 23: really is not doing much except for rearranging the deck
- 1:11:28Speaker 23: chairs on the Titanic in this regard.
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: Right, it won't be back room anymore, and it's not
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: going to just be a slap on the wrist anymore.
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: There's going to be real consequences. And some of those consequences,
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: which they should have been in some of the names
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: I just read and may still be when it comes
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: to Eric Swalwell, will be criminal.
- 1:11:47Speaker 23: Many of this activity, it's criminal. And so just because
- 1:11:50Speaker 23: you resign from Congress doesn't mean that the investigation shouldn't
- 1:11:54Speaker 23: follow you. It should be concluded. It should be made public.
- 1:11:56Speaker 23: And if there are criminal activity that has been uncovered,
- 1:11:59Speaker 23: it needs to be fully investigated and followed up and
- 1:12:02Speaker 23: prosecuted by the full extent of the law.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: There are some male legislators right now on Capitol Hill
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: that I would believe are shaking in their boots because
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: now you have a group, a posse of women who
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: are going to come after them saying no more. And
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: by the way, just so I don't make this men
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: versus women, they did say, Kat Kamak said, and we're
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: talking about young men too, and young men that are
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: pressured for sex as well. We're going to be talking
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: to them. But We want a place for them to
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: go where they can feel safe and they can tell
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: us confidentially this is what's happening. And we'll look into
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: it confidentially.
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: Well, remember, this used to happen with pages in the Senate.
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: The very famous congressman I met in Lake Worth, Florida,
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: his family owned a restaurant there, Lake Worth, Florida, Palm
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: Beach County, only one square mile. Oh, he was so debonair.
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: He was crazy. really engaging. I said, this guy's going
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: to be a politician. He went on to become the congressman.
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: He was hitting on some of the Guardian Angel guys.
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: Little did I realize that eventually he would end up
- 1:13:12Speaker 4: hitting on the pages in the House, and he had
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: to leave. Remember, he just picked up and he left.
- 1:13:17Speaker 4: So there were a lot of those kinds of cases.
- 1:13:19Speaker 4: There was a guy named Fred Richmond, believe it or not,
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: was hitting on a page, a male page.
- 1:13:25Speaker 5: We're not even talking an adult page. He was found guilty.
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: He was from Brooklyn. He was the congressman. They re-elected him.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: Well, some of these other guys are up for re-election
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: right now. Some of the people I just named, including
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: Corey Mills. Yeah, I mean, it's an enormous problem there,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: and I don't know why. I mean, I guess I
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: know why, but if you think about it, you have
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: these young women who believe in you, who are part
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: of your campaign.
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: You win.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: They get a job as an aide. This is the
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: biggest job they ever had. And you say, hey, listen,
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: come over to my apartment because we have to work
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: on some legislation. That's a big moment. That's a big
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: step forward.
- 1:14:03Speaker 5: They get Swalwelled. Swalwelled. That's a new term. You've been Swalwelled.
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: Now, let's go back, and we need to remember who
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: first blew the whistle in the Senate. It was the
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: brand-new junior senator of New York State, Gillibrand. Gillibrand said,
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: you know, when I entered the cloakroom with a lot
- 1:14:24Speaker 4: of these old guys, Democrats and Republicans, they were busy
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: passing the Viagra around, and they were like, They.
- 1:14:30Speaker 5: Were all over me.
- 1:14:32Speaker 4: And everybody said, well, name names, name names. You can't
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: just malign the entire Senate body. And then all of
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: a sudden, her mentor, who was a senior senator, Chuck Schumer,
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: who helped get her the position to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton, who,
- 1:14:44Speaker 4: if you remember, became the secretary of state of Barack Obama.
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: So there was the opening for Congresswoman Gillibrand. She took
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: the coat of all matter, but she was alone. Nobody
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: else was speaking up. Now you have a collection of women...
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: across party lines, older, younger, who are saying enough is enough.
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: These guys don't want to use the Curtis Lee with solution,
- 1:15:10Speaker 4: salt Peter, you know, in the food, they all eat
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: that free food in the, in the kitchen of the
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: house and the Senate where you can lace it in there.
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: It will make them flash it instead of Turkish. These
- 1:15:21Speaker 4: guys are out of control. And now they're going to
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: have to pay the price because these women are saying,
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: even if you're no longer in.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: The house or the Senate, Speaking of being sexually out
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: of control, you have some new information on the 49ers
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: owner who went to Ohio to, what should I say,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: to have rendezvous?
- 1:15:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a little bent out in terms of
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: why this guy who's originally from what they call Little Chicago,
- 1:15:52Speaker 4: their youngstown, Pennsylvania, You know, he was part of the
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: DiBartolo family that built so many malls in America when
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: a mall building was popular out of Youngstown. DiBartolo bought
- 1:16:04Speaker 4: the San Francisco 49ers. Then he had to give up
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: the ownership because he was caught bribing, dining, and pocket
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: lining the governor of Louisiana, where they're all corrupt down there.
- 1:16:15Speaker 4: So he had to step aside and turn it over
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: to the family. So this guy, Jed York, became the CEO.
- 1:16:21Speaker 4: I'm saying to myself, this guy has experience in Ohio.
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: He could have gone anywhere outside of Youngstown, Warren. He
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: could have gone to Ashtabula. I'll never forget driving to Ashtabula.
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: They even had these places. You know, trailer parks where
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: women would put a red light on in the window
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: to let you know they were available. I mean, this
- 1:16:43Speaker 4: goes back to last time I saw that was in
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: Basel Heath.
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: In Birmingham in England. You know, there's old school.
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: And then I realized it had to be something special
- 1:16:54Speaker 4: for him to go all the way to East Palestine.
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: Most famous for the derailment, remember, of those train cars
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: with the chemicals and really propelled Donald Trump back into
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: the presidency because he went to East Palestine and Biden
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: and Buttigieg did not. Remember, they did not. And so
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: people said, yeah, this is a man who cares, Trump.
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: And that's J.D. Vance was there. And I think that's
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: where they started to develop that relationship. Buttigieg was not there.
- 1:17:23Speaker 6: No.
- 1:17:23Speaker 5: Biden was not there. No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:17:26Speaker 4: In fact, when Buttigieg showed up, remember he had on
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: those like fancy boots on, you know, like the mother
- 1:17:31Speaker 4: people said, you didn't come prepared to help the people.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: It was like a half a year later.
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: So I figured out why Jed York answered this ad.
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: to have sex in this trailer park in East Palestine,
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: population 2,850. Apparently there is a guy there named Daniel Hodder,
- 1:17:51Speaker 4: who is like the lead special detective for the Columbian
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: County sex trafficking group.
- 1:17:58Speaker 5: He's really good.
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: What he does is he posts invitations in which they
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: pretend to be a mother and a daughter, and they
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: offer sex. And apparently for a lot of freaks out there, guys,
- 1:18:13Speaker 4: this is a dream come true to have sex with
- 1:18:17Speaker 4: the mother and daughter at the same time.
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: So this is not the only guy they've caught.
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: Jed York, he's obviously the biggest fish, a billionaire who
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: owns the San Francisco 49ers, who has roots in Youngstown, Ohio.
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: But there are other very prominent men who have.
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: Traveled all the way to East Palestine to go to
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: that trailer park to have sex with what they thought
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: would be a mother and a daughter right at the
- 1:18:41Speaker 4: same time.
- 1:18:41Speaker 5: And guess what? Psych! We're here to bust you.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: I have never heard of this mother daughter thing i
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: guess that's why you have to go to east palestine
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: to get with a mother and daughter because it's so rare.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: I've never heard of that fetish.
- 1:18:56Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
- 1:18:56Speaker 4: There are a lot of freaks out there. This is
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: what they dream of. They're psychosexual.
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: You know some?
- 1:19:02Speaker 4: I don't know many, but in England, I remember when
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: I was there, not only did they have the dominatrixes
- 1:19:07Speaker 4: offering their services.
- 1:19:09Speaker 5: I'll whip you, Larry. I'll whip you.
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: I've heard of them.
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: But there also were those kind of ads. And you
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: said to yourself, He must really be a freak. So
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: here's a guy who basically could have had sex with
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: prostitutes anywhere. Over in Covington, Kentucky, across from Cincinnati, where, remember,
- 1:19:28Speaker 4: Jerry Springer bounced checks to the prostitutes and got in
- 1:19:31Speaker 4: trouble when he was mayor of Cincinnati. But that's why
- 1:19:34Speaker 4: he went there. And this guy, there's got to be
- 1:19:37Speaker 4: a place for him, for Patel in the FBI. This
- 1:19:41Speaker 4: guy has caught so many people in sex trafficking situations pretending. Oh,
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: good for him. that there is a mother and daughter
- 1:19:48Speaker 4: willing to have sex, he was paying $ 140 for that.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the problems I have with all
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: of these people who are now defending sex workers. You know,
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: a lot of them are forced into this. A lot
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: of them, it's like human slavery sometimes. So be careful
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: what you're advocating for. When we come back, who would
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: have known that a movie theater closing... would be leading
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: all of the newscasts. I mean, it was in the
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: first segment. I shouldn't say leading, but in the first
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: segment of all of these newscasts last night. And there's
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: an uprising in the community. We're going to tell you
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: where and why when we come back. Our iHeartRadio Music Festival,
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: presented by Capital One, is back. featuring live performances by
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: Benson Boone, the Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney Wilson,
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: and much more. September 18th and 19th at T-Mobile Arena
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. It's two nights all on one stage.
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: While the world is listening on iHeartRadio, you could be there.
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: You got three chances every weekday for your chance to
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: win a trip for two plus $ 1, 000 in spending money.
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: The next chance to text and win happens this morning,
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: 9 a.m. on 710WOR. Comes from the heart. Well, listen,
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: movie theaters are closing around the country because of streaming.
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: People now watch at home. They learned to do that
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: during the pandemic. And I feel bad for the movie
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: theater owners. They've tried everything. They've tried better food, more
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: comfortable seats, bigger screens, but nothing seems to be working.
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: Since 2020, AMC has shut down 213 locations nationwide. And
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: in 2025, the company closed six theaters alone. So it's
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: still happening. This is just what happens. There's a contraction
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: and a growth in industries. It's growing online. It's not
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: growing so much at the movie theaters anymore. But I've
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: never heard of the outrage over a movie theater closing
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: than I have with the AMC Kips Bay 15. Apparently,
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: that is beloved because every station did a story in
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: their first segment last night about it closing. Now, it
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: may have been a slow news day, but it doesn't
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: seem that way. Politicians jumped on it. They want some answers.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: It seems like it's already been done. The NYU Langone
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: is going to take over the space. It's a huge space.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: It's got 15 screens. And now with politicians involved, it's
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: going to be really fascinating what happens. But did you
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: know it was that popular?
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: Yes. Did you see it was leading the protests that
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: popped up organically? Our own Joe Neumeyer. We'll have to
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: ask him on Friday, our movie reviewer. Oh, they're all
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: out there.
- 1:22:49Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: Remember, free shows for Joe, you know, to go in
- 1:22:53Speaker 4: and review the movies. Free popcorn, free good and plenty,
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: plenty good. You know, Joe Neumeyer, yeah, free, free, free.
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, we'll continue to cover the story,
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: but this is something that's happening across the country. I
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: know you might love your movie theater, but you got
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: to get used to it or go support them. A
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: lot of talkbacks today. We'll try to squeeze a few
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: more in before the contest, which is coming up in
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes. Of course, people still wanted
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: to talk about Dolly Parton.
- 1:23:23Speaker 10: Who didn't like Dolly Parton and self-deprecating? She says, boy,
- 1:23:29Speaker 10: it takes a lot of money to look this cheap.
- 1:23:32Speaker 10: I love that.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: That quote has been used a couple times today, and
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: it is wonderful. Curtis and I got into it a
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: little bit over Canada, as we do maybe once or
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: twice a week. That's what's so great about the show.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: We have different opinions on a lot of different things,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: and we don't have to hide it, and nobody tells
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: us to rail it in, so we go at it
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: every once in a while. But that's healthy, and I
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: hope you appreciate it.
- 1:23:57Speaker 29: Curtis and Larry, you guys are hilarious. You sound like
- 1:24:00Speaker 29: an old married couple. You remind me of my grandparents,
- 1:24:04Speaker 29: God rest their soul. They used to argue over the
- 1:24:06Speaker 29: dumbest things. full on argument over something like so minimal
- 1:24:12Speaker 29: we just crack up you guys are hilarious man arguing
- 1:24:16Speaker 29: over Canada out of all the things you guys can
- 1:24:19Speaker 29: argue arguing over Canada I love you guys you remind
- 1:24:23Speaker 29: me of my grandparents.
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: Well I agree an old couple two guys together except
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: I'm the pitcher and you're the catcher let's make that very.
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: Clear no I don't think so especially not in that
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: argument Curtis, you.
- 1:24:38Speaker 30: Are so far off here, and I'm starting to doubt
- 1:24:41Speaker 30: about you as a historian. We've had tariffs every year
- 1:24:45Speaker 30: since the Depression. Tariffs have been in effect for decades
- 1:24:48Speaker 30: and decades. But you keep saying, no, that was the
- 1:24:51Speaker 30: last time, and it furthered the Depression. Yes, it did,
- 1:24:54Speaker 30: but it's been in. Your facts are wrong. Canada's not
- 1:24:57Speaker 30: the largest trading partner, not even close. Get your facts right.
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: We export more products to Canada than any other nation.
- 1:25:05Speaker 12: Psych!
- 1:25:07Speaker 4: Do your research before you put in a talkback. By
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: the way, let me give credit where credit is due.
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: We are the number two receiver of talkbacks in the nation.
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: That's due to Natalie, our producer. Not because of the
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: quiet storm, I might add. Chris, who is your substituted.
- 1:25:25Speaker 8: No, it's because of you guys.
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 1:25:27Speaker 9: Because those little dust-ups you have definitely.
- 1:25:30Speaker 5: Get people going. They do.
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: They love them.
- 1:25:32Speaker 8: No, but you know what it is?
- 1:25:33Speaker 9: You allow people in to give their opinion, and no
- 1:25:36Speaker 9: matter what their opinion is, you receive it, and it's good.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: And even from each other, although we go after each other,
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: not like we go after the talkbacks. Let me think.
- 1:25:44Speaker 20: How about Canada take all the tariffs off our goods
- 1:25:47Speaker 20: that they've had on there for years?
- 1:25:49Speaker 5: They don't pay an ounce for their military because we
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: protect the whole.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: Atmosphere, right?
- 1:25:56Speaker 5: Can't they at least give us some free trade? Come on, guys.
- 1:25:59Speaker 5: Wake up.
- 1:26:01Speaker 4: Free trade? My God, that goes back to Bush, right?
- 1:26:06Speaker 4: To the free traders. That's not what Bernie Sanders nor
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: Donald Trump campaigned on in 2016. They're not free traders.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: And Canada makes way too much money off of us.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: It's always been lopsided. So, no, we have to even
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: the playing field. I agree with Trump on that. I
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: just think his timing is really bad.
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: But now at 8.30, let's get the news from Derek.
- 1:26:29Speaker 12: It is sunny.
- 1:26:30Speaker 7: It is going to be warm today. We'll see a
- 1:26:31Speaker 7: high near 80 degrees.
- 1:26:32Speaker 4: Good morning, guys.
- 1:26:33Speaker 7: For the first time in more than 80 years, the
- 1:26:36Speaker 7: world is waking up today without Dolly Parton. The music
- 1:26:39Speaker 7: legend and humanitarian lost her battle to cancer yesterday.
- 1:26:45Speaker 17: You could call it a life well lived, but in
- 1:26:48Speaker 17: the case of Dolly Parton, it feels like we've been
- 1:26:50Speaker 17: robbed of so much time. That's because of her spirit.
- 1:26:56Speaker 17: It made its way into everything she touched. The music, movies, Dollywood,
- 1:27:01Speaker 17: the imagination library that's put hundreds of millions of books
- 1:27:04Speaker 17: into kids' hands. Queen of country, cultural icon, America's sweetheart.
- 1:27:09Speaker 17: That's Channel 7 Entertainment reporter Joelle Gargiulo. The Empire State
- 1:27:13Speaker 17: Building was lit up in pink last night in memory
- 1:27:16Speaker 17: of Parton. Immigration advocates are demanding Nassau County Executive Bruce
- 1:27:20Speaker 17: Blakeman comply with the new state law. which outlines what
- 1:27:23Speaker 17: ICE can and cannot do in New York. It bans
- 1:27:26Speaker 17: local police cooperation with ICE on civil immigration enforcement, and
- 1:27:30Speaker 17: Governor Hochul says that any department that doesn't comply will
- 1:27:33Speaker 17: face legal challenges. Blakeman, a Republican who is running for
- 1:27:37Speaker 17: governor against Hochul, has said the region is safer because
- 1:27:40Speaker 17: of local police cooperation with ICE. The same day, a
- 1:27:43Speaker 17: 15-year-old Bronx boy was laid to rest, the victim of
- 1:27:47Speaker 17: what police are calling An accidental shooting, officers picked up
- 1:27:50Speaker 17: his suspected killer.
- 1:27:52Speaker 11: That gunman is a 16-year-old boy. The victim has now
- 1:27:56Speaker 11: been identified as 15-year-old Riley Billingsley. According to a 13-year-old
- 1:28:01Speaker 11: who was grazed by a shot, the trio were hanging
- 1:28:03Speaker 11: out last Wednesday in a Kingsbridge apartment, horsing around with
- 1:28:07Speaker 11: a gun. It went off, hitting the two boys. The
- 1:28:10Speaker 11: teen suspect is charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, and
- 1:28:14Speaker 11: a weapons count. Billingsley's funeral was Tuesday, hours after the

- 1:29:04Speaker 1: great Dolly Parton who passed away yesterday at the age
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: of 80.
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: Remember, we were listening to Richard Muro, our tech expert
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: in the previous hour, and he said, watch out for
- 1:29:15Speaker 4: fake online party invitations coming to you. Natalie, our producer, said, yeah, yeah,
- 1:29:20Speaker 4: I thought that was a fake one coming from a friend.
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: And you're probably saying to yourself, how do these people
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: get all this information? How do they pretend to be
- 1:29:29Speaker 4: somebody I know and they have such personal information of mine?
- 1:29:33Speaker 4: Phone numbers. They know who my relatives are. They have
- 1:29:37Speaker 4: my email. They text me. Well, this is what data
- 1:29:41Speaker 4: brokers do. And also, this is what these personal online
- 1:29:46Speaker 4: sites do, people sites they call them, is collect your information,
- 1:29:51Speaker 4: bundle it up, and then to whoever was going to
- 1:29:54Speaker 4: pay for it, they sell it.
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: And you say, how could that be legal? Well, it
- 1:29:57Speaker 5: is legal. So you got to protect yourself.
- 1:30:00Speaker 4: And the way you do that is to put up
- 1:30:01Speaker 4: a firewall the way I have with Incogni.
- 1:30:04Speaker 5: That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: Share it with friends and relatives because they are subject
- 1:30:10Speaker 4: to being preyed on as you are with texts and
- 1:30:13Speaker 4: unwanted phone calls and an invasion of what you consider
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: to be so private. And yet what they're doing is legal.
- 1:30:21Speaker 4: So get Incogni. That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I. They'll not only go out
- 1:30:25Speaker 4: there and scrub you from all those data bank sites
- 1:30:30Speaker 4: and those people search sites, but they'll stay on top
- 1:30:34Speaker 4: of it and play whack-a-mole because they're not naive. They
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: know it might surface again. So go to Incogni.com slash Curtis.
- 1:30:41Speaker 4: You get 60% off right now. And don't be selfish.
- 1:30:44Speaker 4: Don't keep it for yourself. Share it with friends, relatives,

- 1:30:52Speaker 5: Wow, it's been a morning.
- 1:30:54Speaker 4: So many adulations that have been paid to Dolly Parton
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: with the information of her passing due to some form
- 1:31:03Speaker 4: of cancer that she had. One thing that we have
- 1:31:06Speaker 4: not discussed between our listeners calling in, Larry, all the
- 1:31:10Speaker 4: great information you and Natalie gave, and even some that
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: I contributed, is that in our darkest hour, when President
- 1:31:18Speaker 4: Donald Trump in his first term was trying to get
- 1:31:20Speaker 4: as many vaccines out there as possible, not only for us,
- 1:31:24Speaker 4: but for the world, because we were developing the vaccines,
- 1:31:28Speaker 4: it was Dolly Parton who used her own money. To
- 1:31:32Speaker 4: fund the Moderna vaccine. She took the Moderna vaccine. She says, hey,
- 1:31:36Speaker 4: this is what you got to do. We all got
- 1:31:38Speaker 4: to come together. And that was just a magnificent gesture
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: when everyone was so frightened. And the president just took
- 1:31:46Speaker 4: control of it and said, we got to get vaccines
- 1:31:48Speaker 4: out there, not just for us in the world. And
- 1:31:51Speaker 4: Dolly Parton played a huge role in that.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: There's so many things to say about her. It's difficult.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: because she was not only an amazing songwriter, and that's
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: what gave her the fame and fortune, but she was
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: a tremendous actress, and she was an incredible business person,
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: and in philanthropy. I mean, there is nothing, think about this,
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: of all the people that you know that are famous,
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: everybody that you know that's famous, never a rumor about
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: Dolly Parton, never anything negative said about Dolly Parton, Never
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: a scandal with Dolly Parton. Over five decades of celebrity.
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: That is a unicorn. There is no one else like that.
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: I dare you to find someone else like that. I
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: dare you to find somebody else like that. And somebody
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: who has kept up a level of stardom for all
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: that time. Yes, there are some people that were flashes
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: in the pan, maybe, that didn't have any controversies and
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: lasted for a few years. But the last five decades
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: like that, do you know that she made, she was
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: worth about $ 600 million. You know how much she gave
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: to charity? $ 600 million. So she gave half of her
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: fortune to charity. And we played it before, and I'll
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: just say it again. She believes that's her greatest legacy.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: was her charity where she gave books to children starting
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: at the age of one all the way to the
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: age of 12, 300 books to a child that just
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: needed somebody to buy the books for them. And she
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: spent tens of millions of dollars on that charity, and
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: that wasn't the only one. The saddest thing is, and
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: this happens so many times with couples, her husband was
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: an enormous part of her life. And her husband got
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: sick and died last year. And when she was doing
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: an interview and when she talked to some people personally,
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: and it's now all getting out, she said it just
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: took the life out of her. That she was with
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: him for 52 years. 52 years married together. And you
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: didn't hear much about him. He was always the one
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: that let her have the spotlight. He didn't need it.
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: He was behind the scenes. Carl Thomas Dean is his name.
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: I said 52, I'm sorry. They were married for 59 years.
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: They were going to go on to 60 years this year.
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: But she said losing him was losing everything. And it
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: seems like she got sick when she was tending to him.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: And so now, as her nephew said so well, he's
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: waiting for you up in heaven, and now they're back
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: together again.
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: Well, I will tell you this, what I liked about
- 1:34:50Speaker 4: Dolly Parton was her self-deprecation. It completely represents a different era.
- 1:34:56Speaker 4: You almost never hear that, except from a comedian. You know,
- 1:35:00Speaker 4: then we'll start chastising the audience after they self-deprecate.
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: Not her. She said, I'm not a fashion icon. I'm
- 1:35:08Speaker 5: an eyesore.
- 1:35:09Speaker 4: My hair is so fake, it was considered to be
- 1:35:13Speaker 4: a fire hazard.
- 1:35:14Speaker 23: Yeah.
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: And people ask, why do I have so many wigs?
- 1:35:18Speaker 4: Because I'll never have a bad hair day. She had
- 1:35:20Speaker 4: a wig for every day of the year. She said,
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: I'm not going to be using the hairspray and the peroxide.
- 1:35:26Speaker 4: I'm not a blonde. That'll ruin my hair. I got
- 1:35:29Speaker 4: a wig here. I got my rhinestone outfits. I got
- 1:35:32Speaker 4: my six-inch stack heels.
- 1:35:35Speaker 5: I am who I am. You can consider me whatever
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: you want.
- 1:35:39Speaker 4: But she would always say, I am an entertainer. I
- 1:35:42Speaker 4: am a writer. I am a performer. And that's what
- 1:35:45Speaker 4: I want to be known for. And truly, as she
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: is laid to rest, and I'm sure there's going to
- 1:35:51Speaker 4: be a huge gathering of people in so many places
- 1:35:55Speaker 4: honoring her life and times.
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: Funny thing is she wants something private.
- 1:35:58Speaker 6: Yes.
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that's been said now. It's not going to be.
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: I hope that there's a tribute somewhere. I hope you're right.
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: There's some place that people can go to. But the
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: family has said, no, they want just a private ceremony. Um,
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: and she did have one final request.
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: Dolly called me and said, she wants to rest in
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: have some rest, rest in peace. And Dolly and granny Gigi,
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: may God bless Dolly Barton and may God bless you all.
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: She will always love you. You listed a lot of
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: the things that she did. She was a wonderful business woman.
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: She was one of the country's great philanthropists. She was
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: an actress. She was a star, more than anything else.
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: But it all started with the songwriting. There was no
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: star more loved than Dolly Parton. There's no star where
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: I've never heard a bad thing about them. And now
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: we've lost her. Dolly Parton, dead at the age of 80.
- 1:37:02Speaker 4: Bob, next we'll discuss what will become the primary issue tomorrow.
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: It's ICE in Nassau County.
- 1:37:09Speaker 4: There are good things said about them and there are
- 1:37:12Speaker 4: bad things said about them.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Just in the last 10 days, a life has been
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: saved by life vac. A police officer out west luckily
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: had one in his car when he got a panic
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: call that there was a child choking just three years
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: old and he took the life vac. and he saved
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: her life. Seconds matter when someone is choking. Having the
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: right equipment nearby matters. That's why I want to tell
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: you about LifeVac. LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: suction anti-choking device to be used for second-line treatment when
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: recommended choking protocols have been followed without success. I'll tell
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: you what, it's so lucky, so fortunate that that that
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: patrol officer had a LifeVac in his car. It should
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: be in every restaurant. It should be in every cafeteria.
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: It should be in your home because seconds matter. LifeVac
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: has helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. Think about that.
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: It's just like that child. Real people, real families, real
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: make all the difference in the world. So learn more
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Go ahead and
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: visit them at LifeVac.net, and then you can see firsthand
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: how you can be ready when it counts. I'll tell
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: you what, Curtis, this is going to be fascinating today
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: because Bruce Blakeman is going to hold a news conference
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: to make an announcement regarding the future of NASA County's
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: agreement to work with ICE. This comes in the wake
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: of a new New York law banning police cooperation with
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: ICE across the state. It's going to be tough for
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman because this is what he has bragged about
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: all throughout the campaign. Remember, he is the Republican candidate
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: for governor running against the governor, Kathy Hochul.
- 1:39:24Speaker 31: We have the most comprehensive agreement with ICE in the
- 1:39:27Speaker 31: United States. I've dedicated 50 jail cells to ICE. And
- 1:39:30Speaker 31: I've dedicated 10 detectives from our Nassau County Police Department
- 1:39:34Speaker 31: to ICE. And we're doing it because we want to
- 1:39:37Speaker 31: make our communities safer. And we've done that. We have
- 1:39:39Speaker 31: the safest county in America, according to U.S. News &
- 1:39:42Speaker 31: World Report.
- 1:39:43Speaker 4: All of that is true. The other thing is he's
- 1:39:46Speaker 4: being sued because he has civilian patrols. that actually cooperate
- 1:39:51Speaker 4: with ICE. So they're trying to get him in for
- 1:39:53Speaker 4: a deposition before the election. And Bruce is very smart
- 1:39:56Speaker 4: to avoid that because they tell you a deposition is private.
- 1:39:59Speaker 5: Get out of here. They'll release all of that before
- 1:40:02Speaker 5: the midterm elections.
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody tried to get him to talk yesterday when
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: the law was passed and Hochul had her press conference yesterday.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: and he's not talking, it'll be fascinating to see what
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: he has to say today. Hochul preemptively said this.
- 1:40:17Speaker 32: I expect him, like everybody else in this state, to
- 1:40:19Speaker 32: follow the laws of New York. And there are consequences
- 1:40:23Speaker 32: if you do not. And again, someone like that will
- 1:40:27Speaker 32: intentionally misrepresent, which is a nice way of saying lie,
- 1:40:31Speaker 32: about what we're actually talking about. Because we are not
- 1:40:37Speaker 32: disallowing cooperation with local law enforcement when it comes to crimes.
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: Here we go. You've been waiting for Bruce Blakeman to
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: go add Hochul and Hochul to go after him. It's
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: going to happen starting today at 2 o'clock. That's when
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: the news conference is going to be.
- 1:40:52Speaker 4: Now, we're only going to have one debate. Shame on
- 1:40:55Speaker 4: the process for only allowing one debate. Even when I
- 1:40:57Speaker 4: ran for mayor, I had two debates, first against Adams
- 1:41:00Speaker 4: and then against Cuomo and Zorhan.
- 1:41:03Speaker 5: There should be a minimum. Two debates.
- 1:41:06Speaker 4: They can be seen throughout the state, all 62 counties,
- 1:41:09Speaker 4: because the debate is going to be on New York One,
- 1:41:11Speaker 4: which has limited viewership. It's not seen in a lot
- 1:41:16Speaker 4: of the other counties. The people who are entitled to this,
- 1:41:19Speaker 4: ICE will become one of the many defining issues that
- 1:41:22Speaker 4: people want to hear about. What does Bruce Blakeman think?
- 1:41:25Speaker 4: What does Hochul think? Let them discuss it. Let them
- 1:41:28Speaker 4: debate it. And the moderator, please stay the hell out
- 1:41:31Speaker 4: of it and let them have a discussion so that
- 1:41:33Speaker 4: the voters... can determine for themselves, at least on this
- 1:41:36Speaker 4: one issue.
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: By the way, my guess is that New York One
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: will make this available to stations across the state and
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: that many can pick it up. And I think they
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: will end up going across the state. We've done that
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: before at stations I've worked at. So I believe that's
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: what's going to happen. By the way, everybody wanted to
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: talk about Dolly Parton this morning. And why not? And
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: the talk back in the morning and winner of the
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, might
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: have said it best.
- 1:42:07Speaker 9: I received a message this morning from one of my
- 1:42:09Speaker 9: friends who lives in England, and he was sending his
- 1:42:13Speaker 9: condolences for the.
- 1:42:15Speaker 5: Queen of America.
- 1:42:18Speaker 9: I think that really fits Dolly because everybody loved her.
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: Yeah, so many were good today. It was hard to choose.
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: So many of you were wonderful in talking about Dolly Parton.
