Hour 2: Is Gratuity a Tip? · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, Donald Trump talked about I mentioned that crash was
0:04
Speaker 1: on it. He yelled at us because we were so
0:07
Speaker 1: engrossed in conversation about everything that Donald Trump's said yesterday,
0:10
Speaker 1: because he answered it in panoply a question. You know,
0:14
Speaker 1: I disagree with Trump from time to time, but no
0:17
Speaker 1: president has ever taken more questions and gone back and
0:21
Speaker 1: forth with the media than President.
0:23
Speaker 2: Donald He's always available, and especially after Joe Biden. I mean,
0:28
Speaker 2: after having a guy that only would talk to selective
0:33
Speaker 2: reporters and would have the questions, you would know the
0:36
Speaker 2: questions that are going and the answers were written for
0:39
Speaker 2: him to go through that. And now go to a
0:42
Speaker 2: guy that'll talk about anything, anything, anything you throw at him.
0:46
Speaker 2: He'll talk about and he has an opinion about. And
0:48
Speaker 2: he talks going to the plane, he talks going off
0:52
Speaker 2: the plane, he talks while he's in the plane. He
0:54
Speaker 2: talks every time he meets with a foreign leader. It
0:57
Speaker 2: really is incredible.
1:00
Speaker 1: Cannot we'll be talking to w or correspondent in the
1:04
Speaker 1: eight o'clock hour who's up in Alashka. But the point
1:08
Speaker 1: being is man he gives more answers and more impromptu
1:13
Speaker 1: and scheduled press conferences, and I think all the other
1:16
Speaker 1: combined presidents in my lifetime.
1:18
Speaker 3: Because it was rare. And even the reporters he doesn't like.
1:22
Speaker 2: He lets them talk, but then he'll go after them, like, well,
1:25
Speaker 2: this poor woman, quiet.
1:30
Speaker 4: Quiet, quiet, you're very disrespectful in front of this young man. Okay,
1:34
Speaker 4: don't you find her disrespectful?
1:37
Speaker 3: That's the lifeguards to the next time, who are you.
1:39
Speaker 4: With fake news? You're fake news. You're a loud you're
1:45
Speaker 4: a loud, boisterous person your fake news. Be quiet, be quiet,
1:49
Speaker 4: be quiet. You're a fake reporter, and you report fake news.
1:56
Speaker 3: And yet the next time it's like that never happened.
2:00
Speaker 3: Person's question.
2:01
Speaker 2: Well, remember Biden when he called Steve Doocey from Fox
2:06
Speaker 2: News a dumb sob. Yes, he was caught on Mike
2:09
Speaker 2: saying that.
2:10
Speaker 3: Now, remember I've been warning you about Oshkoff. He's a rise.
2:14
Speaker 3: You're out there in Georgia. Yeah, us Off. He's way ahead.
2:18
Speaker 1: Of his Democratic competitor, and the Democrats is saying, man,
2:22
Speaker 1: this guy has presidential timber. You know, Trump is paying
2:26
Speaker 1: attention because that race is not close in the polls.
2:29
Speaker 3: Now, it's funny.
2:30
Speaker 2: You know, we saw a poll just about a week ago,
2:34
Speaker 2: and I was saying, look at this USOF is on
2:36
Speaker 2: the poll like they're now polling him in the presidential polls,
2:40
Speaker 2: and he's doing fairly well.
2:42
Speaker 3: And then I.
2:43
Speaker 2: Heard this yesterday when he spoke, and I thought, oh, oh,
2:45
Speaker 2: he's running for president. There's no question he's running for president.
2:49
Speaker 5: And while the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war,
2:54
Speaker 5: while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the
2:59
Speaker 5: president sleeps through his meetings, He golfs and trade stocks. See,
3:07
Speaker 5: he doesn't want to do the job. He wants to
3:11
Speaker 5: build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently
3:14
Speaker 5: defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
3:19
Speaker 2: It was every cheap shot he possibly could have made
3:22
Speaker 2: in thirty seconds.
3:23
Speaker 3: Wait to the crowd.
3:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Natalie thing is because he has an aide
3:27
Speaker 2: that's attractive, that's always with him. And now now the
3:30
Speaker 2: Democrats are jumping all over that. But it got trom
3:33
Speaker 2: we exempt our own to Natalie. They were not being mentioned, No,
3:37
Speaker 2: they weren't there.
3:39
Speaker 3: Natalie's everywhere what's going on? But Trump took notice.
3:45
Speaker 4: You mean pee wee herman, pee wee herman. Look a
3:48
Speaker 4: lot no, I would much rather do other things. It's say,
3:52
Speaker 4: we're building a great facility here.
3:55
Speaker 2: If that's are talking about the ballroom. By the way,
3:57
Speaker 2: yesterday talked about the ballroom of a lot. Remember I
4:00
Speaker 2: told you weeks ago I said, look at this guy
4:02
Speaker 2: ass Off. I've been looking at his speeches a lot
4:04
Speaker 2: different than when he first ran and he barely won election.
4:07
Speaker 2: Remember when Joe went down there after his election and
4:11
Speaker 2: he campaigned for the two Republicans and they both lost.
4:14
Speaker 2: The other guy to war knock.
4:16
Speaker 1: But this guy ass Off, there is no doubt they're
4:19
Speaker 1: grooming him to be a presidential candidate.
4:22
Speaker 2: And the big reason is because he won in Georgia
4:25
Speaker 2: and now he's going to win reelection. It looks like
4:29
Speaker 2: by double digits, and not just against you know, somebody
4:33
Speaker 2: that just has the honor of running and they know
4:36
Speaker 2: he's going to get killed. He's running against Mike Collins.
4:38
Speaker 2: Mike Collins is very well known in Georgia, has been
4:42
Speaker 2: a congressman for a long time. So this is a
4:45
Speaker 2: substantial person running against him, and he's winning by double
4:49
Speaker 2: digits according to the polls. We'll see what happens at
4:52
Speaker 2: the end. But and this is down South Georgia. How
4:55
Speaker 2: long have they been Republican? I mean now they have
4:57
Speaker 2: two Democratic senators.
4:58
Speaker 3: Well, you know, if if you're on Trump's radar screen,
5:02
Speaker 3: your prime time. Yeah, so now he's forever. People just
5:06
Speaker 3: how come he never goes after me? How come he
5:08
Speaker 3: never attest me? Well, now osof is going to use
5:11
Speaker 3: this and say, you see, I'm prime time here.
5:14
Speaker 2: And speaking of the ballroom, he did comment on that too.
5:18
Speaker 2: Asoff talked about the ballroom, He's commented on it, and
5:21
Speaker 2: Donald Trump says, well, if you don't like the ballroom,
5:23
Speaker 2: there's something wrong with you.
5:25
Speaker 4: The people that are opposing the ballroom are people that,
5:29
Speaker 4: in my opinion, are very disloyal to our country, very
5:32
Speaker 4: very disloyal to our country. And I think we're doing
5:35
Speaker 4: very well. We're way ahead of schedule.
5:37
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's me. I'm opposed to this ballroom why.
5:40
Speaker 2: I mean, even past presidents, apparently Obama, if you've never
5:44
Speaker 2: heard anything from him, he's been telling people, well, yeah,
5:47
Speaker 2: we need a ballroom.
5:48
Speaker 3: But I'm opposed to it.
5:49
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I'm disloyal, though, you see that in an
5:52
Speaker 1: extreme position.
5:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I mean I think the ballroom was absolutely needed.
5:56
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous to have huge ceremonies out in the
5:59
Speaker 2: mud in the road.
6:00
Speaker 1: You know what it is. It may well be I
6:03
Speaker 1: got a blank spot in my head. I'm a pretty
6:05
Speaker 1: good dancer, but I never took ballroom dancing. So you
6:09
Speaker 1: mentioned ballroom to me. I said, man, I can't do
6:11
Speaker 1: the waltz. I can't do the foxtrot. I never learned
6:15
Speaker 1: how to do that. Yeah, Natalie, it's true. People will say, hey,
6:18
Speaker 1: you want to do a waltz. I said, believe it
6:20
Speaker 1: or not, I don't know how to do a waltz
6:22
Speaker 1: or a fox trotter, any of that. Great ballroom dancing.
6:25
Speaker 1: A lot of Polish people do ballroom dancing. A lot
6:27
Speaker 1: of other people and they're.
6:28
Speaker 3: Really good at Stare Studios. Oh, Greg, we can get
6:32
Speaker 3: your a membership. Kelly, Kelly, remember I'm singing in the rain. Amazing.
6:39
Speaker 3: I'd love to see you singing in the rain on
6:41
Speaker 3: the light pole.
6:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gene, Kelly, was that was out in the rain.
6:45
Speaker 2: That wasn't in a ballroom.
6:46
Speaker 3: Nobody was a great ballroom dancer.
6:48
Speaker 1: But right fred astere academies where they teach you, I
6:51
Speaker 1: could have easily have gone there.
6:53
Speaker 3: I never did. Boy, I gotta add that to my
6:56
Speaker 3: bucket list. All right, Netty talked about the USS link.
7:00
Speaker 2: Remember there were all these reports that the plumbing wasn't working,
7:04
Speaker 2: that somebody tried to jump overboards. I will say since then,
7:08
Speaker 2: we've talked to a lot of people from the ship.
7:11
Speaker 2: I haven't, but the media has and have talked to
7:14
Speaker 2: a lot of admirals and people that visited the ship.
7:17
Speaker 2: Apparently everything was overblown, and so Donald Trump talked about
7:20
Speaker 2: that it.
7:21
Speaker 4: Was at a big group and he happened to be
7:23
Speaker 4: an admiral retired. He said, I've been on ships are
7:25
Speaker 4: out there much longer than that's there. And I know
7:28
Speaker 4: people on the Lincoln. They say it's beautifully maintained and
7:31
Speaker 4: beautifully taken care of. And other people went out and
7:35
Speaker 4: they found out to be true. It was fake news
7:37
Speaker 4: reporting from CNN.
7:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, the person apparently that it did go overboard didn't
7:42
Speaker 2: try to go overboard. There was a person that went
7:44
Speaker 2: overboard and they saved him. That it had nothing to
7:46
Speaker 2: do with what was going on on the ship at
7:48
Speaker 2: the time he accidentally fell overboard. There have been a
7:52
Speaker 2: lot of people now on the ship that said, look,
7:55
Speaker 2: we didn't have these problems. Were overblown. Remember, the original
7:59
Speaker 2: reporting was from families of the people that were.
8:01
Speaker 3: Stars and Stripes, not CNN.
8:03
Speaker 1: So right, Uh, mister president, you want to blame CNN,
8:07
Speaker 1: Why don't you blame Stars and Stripes. You wouldn't dare
8:09
Speaker 1: blame Stars and Stripes because that's an outlet for the
8:13
Speaker 1: military and for family members.
8:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some people that didn't go with the story,
8:18
Speaker 2: and because it was second, third, fourth hand all the time.
8:22
Speaker 2: And so now that people have visited the ship, they're
8:26
Speaker 2: finding out that a lot of the stuff was overblown.
8:28
Speaker 2: I guess there was a time when they were supposed
8:30
Speaker 2: to get supplies and they didn't on time, but they
8:33
Speaker 2: did show up. And so, uh, straits of her Moose,
8:36
Speaker 2: of course, he always talks about that, always ask a question.
8:39
Speaker 4: We control it. We control it with the blockade. We
8:42
Speaker 4: have a blockade. We control it with the blockade. And
8:46
Speaker 4: I like the idea of declaring the territory.
8:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, she wants declared an American territory.
8:51
Speaker 1: There's nobody in America who wants to declare the straits
8:54
Speaker 1: of her Moose an American territory. Come on, I mean,
8:58
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. By the way, there's infighting going on his
9:02
Speaker 1: own vice president in vance was trying to say, hey, look,
9:06
Speaker 1: I understand Americans are concerned about the price of gas
9:09
Speaker 1: and natural gas as we go into the midterm elections.
9:14
Speaker 1: That's one of the goals he is to clear up
9:16
Speaker 1: that stretch of her moves. And Trump immediately slap down
9:20
Speaker 1: his vice president on his truth SoC She'll say, no,
9:23
Speaker 1: the number one goal is Iran not having a nuclear weapon,
9:27
Speaker 1: and this coming at the same time that he wants
9:30
Speaker 1: to renew his personal relationship with the evil seed of
9:35
Speaker 1: Kim Jung mentally ill behind the Rice Kate curtain of
9:38
Speaker 1: North Korea. Remember, he had three meetings with him, first
9:40
Speaker 1: president ever to meet with him directly to try to
9:43
Speaker 1: encourage him you don't need nuclear weapons. Well, obviously four
9:47
Speaker 1: years of Joe Biden in between, he now has sixty nukes,
9:51
Speaker 1: sixty nukes with missiles to deliver them, and nobody messages
9:55
Speaker 1: with North Korea now because they know they got a
9:57
Speaker 1: new That's he run's goal and ain't nobody's going to.
10:01
Speaker 3: Mess with us?
10:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:02
Speaker 2: Now, the reason that he is cozied up to North
10:05
Speaker 2: Korea even more so in the last few days, and
10:08
Speaker 2: he's even talked about another visit is because the president
10:12
Speaker 2: of South Korea ticked him off, much like a lot
10:15
Speaker 2: of the people in Nido ticked them off.
10:17
Speaker 4: But I called him. I said, would you like to
10:18
Speaker 4: give us a little hand? We don't need help with Ran,
10:21
Speaker 4: but if you'd like give us a head with Arran.
10:24
Speaker 4: He said no, thanks, And I said, where we have
10:27
Speaker 4: thirty nine thousand soldiers over there guarding you from Kim
10:32
Speaker 4: Jong un, your next door neighbor, and you're not going
10:35
Speaker 4: to help us on a very easy military operation in Iran.
10:40
Speaker 4: That's strange.
10:42
Speaker 3: That's not the end of that. Oh no.
10:43
Speaker 1: And by the way, Samsung huge, like the biggest company
10:48
Speaker 1: in the world for manufacturing electronic products, had promised that
10:53
Speaker 1: they would start developing plants in the United States, you know,
10:57
Speaker 1: outsource a out of their development. Apparently that didn't happen
11:01
Speaker 1: as quickly as the president. So South Korea, you're pretty
11:05
Speaker 1: much on your own when it comes to the evil
11:08
Speaker 1: seed of Kim Jung Mentalio.
11:10
Speaker 3: He's going to have another summit with him. You know
11:12
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen.
11:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he probably will. I think it's a
11:15
Speaker 2: smart thing. I think it's a smart thing to meet
11:17
Speaker 2: with your enemies haven't.
11:18
Speaker 3: I said he should try to do that with Iron
11:21
Speaker 3: and that might bring into a He said he would.
11:23
Speaker 2: He said he would, he would, He would have a
11:25
Speaker 2: meeting with Rock if they'd meet with him.
11:26
Speaker 3: Full speed ahead.
11:27
Speaker 1: He should determine that people don't want to go my
11:30
Speaker 1: route to meet with them in Tehran, I get it.
11:32
Speaker 1: But somewhere else in the Middle East. Boy, I think
11:35
Speaker 1: that could be a real icebreaker. Yeah, he said he
11:38
Speaker 1: absolutely would. He said that very early on. As a
11:41
Speaker 1: matter of fact. By the way, just real quick, he
11:43
Speaker 1: did mention the flock cameras. Somebody brought it up.
11:46
Speaker 2: Actually Reagan Reese, who was a friend of the show,
11:48
Speaker 2: brought it up, and he said, we're looking into it.
11:51
Speaker 2: There's a study going on right now, should have something
11:53
Speaker 2: in about a week. And coming up there is a
11:57
Speaker 2: there's a big fight going on on gratuity versus tips.
12:02
Speaker 2: I thought they were the exact same thing. We'll tell
12:05
Speaker 2: you what the difference is and what the fight is
12:07
Speaker 2: coming up. Plus a chance to see Journey at age
12:10
Speaker 2: twenty five. And now I want to talk to you
12:13
Speaker 2: more about life back. I could talk about life back
12:16
Speaker 2: all day because it simply saves lives. And there are people.
12:21
Speaker 2: I think that we all know that have choked at
12:25
Speaker 2: some unexpected time, at Thanksgiving dinner, at a kid's birthday party.
12:29
Speaker 3: And when you're.
12:30
Speaker 2: There in that moment, sometimes you're just figuring out what
12:34
Speaker 2: can you do because some of the other methods just
12:37
Speaker 2: don't work. That's why we have life Back because choking
12:40
Speaker 2: is one of the moments that can happen to any family.
12:43
Speaker 2: It can happen to a child, it can happen to
12:46
Speaker 2: a parent, it can happen to a grandparent, and when
12:48
Speaker 2: it does, seconds matter. Life Back is the first and
12:52
Speaker 2: only FDA authorized suction anti choking device to be used
12:57
Speaker 2: for second line treatment when recommended protocols have been followed
13:02
Speaker 2: without success. Did I say FDA authorized? And here's what's remarkable.
13:07
Speaker 2: Life Back has helped save over six thousand lives worldwide.
13:13
Speaker 2: If save families, it's given them a second chance. Preparedness matters,

13:32
Speaker 2: net and see how you can be ready when it counts.
13:36
Speaker 4: No.
13:36
Speaker 2: Curtis and Natalie we've all been out right to a
13:39
Speaker 2: restaurant where they say, especially with a large party, they'll
13:42
Speaker 2: say gratuity included. Yep, yep, And that's like eighteen to
13:46
Speaker 2: twenty percent of the bill that you have to pay.
13:49
Speaker 2: So it's a substantial amount of the bill. But you figure, okay,
13:52
Speaker 2: the tips, that's it. I don't have to pay anything else.
13:55
Speaker 2: I just paid the tip. Well, there's a woman on
13:59
Speaker 2: TikTok and is a waitress Natalie, Yes, this woman's server. Yeah,
14:03
Speaker 2: this woman a server. I'm sorry, there's always new names
14:06
Speaker 2: for everything.
14:08
Speaker 1: Server.
14:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I have to I have to learn millennial.
14:12
Speaker 2: It's no longer a waitress, it's a server. So she
14:16
Speaker 2: is saying, even if you pay the gratuity, that's separate
14:22
Speaker 2: than the tip.
14:23
Speaker 6: Listen, gratuity the the server also has to pay the barback.
14:28
Speaker 6: Who are the people who come and help clean up,
14:30
Speaker 6: take make sure the table stay clean. So when I
14:33
Speaker 6: give somebody a receipt and I look at me and
14:35
Speaker 6: they say, oh, gratuity is included, I say, gratuity is included,
14:38
Speaker 6: but a tip isn't that. And if you can't afford
14:41
Speaker 6: the tip, then you shouldn't be out, all.
14:43
Speaker 2: Right, before I tell you what I looked up on this.
14:46
Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
14:48
Speaker 7: Well, I did wonder what it was, but I always
14:52
Speaker 7: assumed it was kind of the same thing. I you know, tick, taxi, tip,
14:56
Speaker 7: gratuity and tip. I wasn't sure. I'm a little annoyed
14:59
Speaker 7: that if I can't tip, I shouldn't go out.
15:01
Speaker 2: But I know, well, if you don't pay more than
15:05
Speaker 2: the twenty percent gratuity you were just forced to pay,
15:08
Speaker 2: then don't come to our restaurant.
15:11
Speaker 1: Well that that lady is looking to not be employed,
15:15
Speaker 1: you know, going on employment. But interesting, you know the
15:18
Speaker 1: bus boy they generally, I don't know if that's politically
15:21
Speaker 1: correct anyone, the bus boy is the one who cleans
15:23
Speaker 1: up the table, comes around, sometimes cleans up while you're
15:26
Speaker 1: eating there. You know, I'm I thought the waitress or
15:30
Speaker 1: the waiter splits the tip with the busboy.
15:33
Speaker 3: The bust girl absolutely correct.
15:35
Speaker 2: My wife dog was a waitress for four years and
15:38
Speaker 2: was excellent at it, and she said, one of the
15:40
Speaker 2: reasons they loved me so much is I shared every
15:43
Speaker 2: tip with the rest of the staff.
15:45
Speaker 1: Now you know where it's considering an insult. And I
15:47
Speaker 1: found out the hard way. My first trip to Japan.
15:50
Speaker 1: No tipping. Not the cab drivers, who are the best
15:53
Speaker 1: in the world, even better than the London cab drivers.
15:56
Speaker 1: Restaurants in that now the prices are high, but there's
15:59
Speaker 1: no tip. You try to tip, they look at you
16:02
Speaker 1: like you've insulted that.
16:03
Speaker 3: Wow.
16:04
Speaker 2: But to clear this up though, just in case you're
16:07
Speaker 2: going to go out, I looked it up. When a
16:09
Speaker 2: gratuity is included or added automatically to your bill, you
16:14
Speaker 2: do not need to leave an extra tip, although you
16:18
Speaker 2: can if you choose to, if it was exceptional service,
16:21
Speaker 2: you can, but it is not a requirement, and most
16:25
Speaker 2: restaurants will put that on there that if there is
16:29
Speaker 2: a gratuity included, you do not need to leave a tip.
16:33
Speaker 3: She was completely wrong.
16:34
Speaker 2: It doesn't go to the cleaning crew, it doesn't go
16:37
Speaker 2: to everybody else in the building. It goes to the
16:40
Speaker 2: wait staff. So she was just trying to make some
16:43
Speaker 2: extra money. She was upset that every once in a
16:46
Speaker 2: while she didn't get a tip because it was already
16:48
Speaker 2: included and she wanted some she wanted something to put.
16:50
Speaker 3: In her pocket.
16:51
Speaker 1: Well, the worst thing in the world is and I've
16:53
Speaker 1: seen this happen at diners. A lot of senior citizens
16:56
Speaker 1: have you know, very stressed income and really leave like
17:01
Speaker 1: the twenty percent of the fifteen percent. So the waiter
17:04
Speaker 1: or the waitress, you know, they I think they understand
17:06
Speaker 1: they're on minimal income.
17:08
Speaker 3: But then there are others who come in there and
17:09
Speaker 3: you can tell that they could afford it, and they
17:12
Speaker 3: stiff them.
17:13
Speaker 2: Yeah when did fifteen percent become twenty percent? Everybody leaves
17:17
Speaker 2: twenty percent now?
17:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like if you don't leave twenty percent,
17:20
Speaker 1: you'll pershona on grade.
17:21
Speaker 2: People look at you like know, but it used to
17:23
Speaker 2: be fifteen percent, fifteen percent with standard, Now it's twenty percent.
17:26
Speaker 2: My wife over tips all the time drives me crazy.
17:30
Speaker 2: I sometimes go back and take a five away.
17:32
Speaker 3: People know who you are, do not don't tell that
17:37
Speaker 3: you do that.
17:38
Speaker 8: You know.
17:38
Speaker 3: She's do the opposite to me.
17:39
Speaker 2: When I leave the tips, she goes back and adds more, Wow,
17:43
Speaker 2: hold on, this was a waitress, I know.
17:45
Speaker 1: But she also recognizes that people are gonna know who
17:48
Speaker 1: you are and they don't want to be said, well,
17:51
Speaker 1: you know, Larry meant it.
17:52
Speaker 3: He's a real cheap skate. He throws Nichols around like
17:55
Speaker 3: manhole come no. I used to give celebrity tips, but
17:57
Speaker 3: not anymore with that Chims once you know the seventh
18:03
Speaker 3: in moments, I got a good tip on this. Let's
18:07
Speaker 3: get to some talkbacks according to the polls. Oh god, Mary,
18:11
Speaker 3: please stop, please stop, Oh my god.
18:13
Speaker 2: We keep having this talk all the time. People that
18:16
Speaker 2: don't like the polls. You're right in some situations. Polls
18:20
Speaker 2: don't matter. You're exactly right, and polls have been off,
18:25
Speaker 2: horribly off. But Curtis can tell you polls are extremely
18:31
Speaker 2: important in politics. Policy is made, candidates are chosen, money
18:37
Speaker 2: is distributed because of polls.
18:39
Speaker 3: So to ignore the.
18:41
Speaker 2: Polls, well, if you're ignoring a big part of the
18:43
Speaker 2: story made it worse.
18:46
Speaker 3: The polygrip and what's the other things, right, that's made
18:51
Speaker 3: it really worse because if you don't do well on those,
18:55
Speaker 3: people are not going to contribute to your campaign. They'll
18:57
Speaker 3: look at that first before they'll look at the polls.
19:00
Speaker 2: It's amazing, isn't it that that's taken over the betting sites.
19:03
Speaker 2: It's a prediction site. Remember that yet, for it's not betting,
19:06
Speaker 2: it's a prediction s sures. Now let's get to Daria

Speaker 9: eighty four degrees. New Jersey is among a group of
19:16
Speaker 9: states suing Meta in what could be a landmark case
19:19
Speaker 9: on social media. It accuses a company of knowingly making
19:23
Speaker 9: platforms like Instagram addictive to kids and teenagers.
19:26
Speaker 10: In court filings, Meta estimates it could be forced to
19:28
Speaker 10: pay damages up to one point four trillion dollars if
19:31
Speaker 10: it loses this case, though Judge Ivonne Gonzales Rogers has
19:35
Speaker 10: called that number unreasonable. According to the outlet Law three sixty,
19:39
Speaker 10: Meta recently revealed it spent two point four billion dollars
19:42
Speaker 10: on legal expenses in the second quarter of twenty twenty
19:44
Speaker 10: six alone, and while that's relatively small potatoes for such
19:47
Speaker 10: a large company, it could add up with hundreds of
19:50
Speaker 10: similar cases expected to go to trial in the coming months.

20:03
Speaker 9: serious about peace. It's called the ABC tax deduction, but
20:07
Speaker 9: it's costing New Jersey nearly one hundred and ninety Let
20:10
Speaker 9: let's try that again, nearly one hundred ninety million dollars
20:13
Speaker 9: a year.
20:14
Speaker 11: It was created to help business owners offset losses, but
20:17
Speaker 11: a new report by the New Jersey Policy Perspective shows
20:21
Speaker 11: this deduction disproportionately benefits millionaires. Researchers say filers who earn
20:26
Speaker 11: more than two and a half million dollars a year
20:28
Speaker 11: claim more in ABC deduction benefits than all households in
20:33
Speaker 11: New Jersey earning less than five hundred thousand dollars a
20:36
Speaker 11: year combined. Peter Chen, one of the Policy Perspective researchers,
20:39
Speaker 11: says the ABC deduction was never meant to be a
20:42

21:22
Speaker 9: wor oh.
21:24
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, people, no matter who you
21:27
Speaker 1: are out there, you're getting club at morning, noon, and night.
21:30
Speaker 1: Your phone is blowing up their spam call, spam text,
21:34
Speaker 1: Your parents tell you about it, the elderly tell you
21:37
Speaker 1: about it. What should I do? And you wonder how
21:40
Speaker 1: can you get rid of all that? And how is
21:42
Speaker 1: it to get all this personal information? Well, it's through
21:44
Speaker 1: data brokers, and they're doing it legally. They're bundling your
21:47
Speaker 1: personal information as if they got it at a clearance sale.
21:51
Speaker 1: Your phone number, home address, email, family members, political affiliations
21:56
Speaker 1: that you've had, and even where you do your banking
21:58
Speaker 1: and financing. Those scamming are blowing up your phone and
22:02
Speaker 1: it didn't get they didn't get lucky they had access
22:05
Speaker 1: to the information. And now you've got to build a
22:07
Speaker 1: firewall the way I've done with Incognitate, Get a pet
22:09
Speaker 1: and pen write it down because you want to share
22:11
Speaker 1: this information with family and friends, who likewise are being
22:15
Speaker 1: bombed with spam calls and spam text I n ceog
22:19
Speaker 1: n I automatically removes your personal information from hundreds of
22:23
Speaker 1: data brokers and people's search sites, and then they stay
22:27
Speaker 1: on it, like whack them hole, so that if all
22:29
Speaker 1: of a sudden, oh, we won't do it again, and
22:31
Speaker 1: they do it, wham, they serve them with legal removal
22:35
Speaker 1: requests and they stay on it. They can't target you
22:39
Speaker 1: if spamers can find you. If scammers can't find you, they,
22:45
Speaker 1: let's face it, they got nowhere to go. The incognitive
22:48
Speaker 1: dot com slash curtis is the place to go. You
22:51
Speaker 1: save sixty percent when you sign up. Share this information
22:55
Speaker 1: with family and friends. I n coog ni dot com
22:58
Speaker 1: slash curtis. Is that so Larry interesting? The other day,
23:03
Speaker 1: Vice President Vance was sort of appealing to fellow Republicans.
23:08
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of people think that the race to
23:11
Speaker 1: become the next president at the Republican nomination will be
23:14
Speaker 1: between him and Secretary of State Rubio. You never know
23:18
Speaker 1: if anybody else emerges, but right now that's what it's
23:21
Speaker 1: looking like. And I think he's trying to define himself
23:24
Speaker 1: as the candidate who has better contact amongst young men
23:30
Speaker 1: young women who lean right. That was so important to
23:34
Speaker 1: the victory of Donald Trump in twenty twenty four, especially
23:37
Speaker 1: amongst gen Z men. He was able to actually win
23:40
Speaker 1: that vote. A lot of people were surprised because they
23:43
Speaker 1: put a tremendous focus. Obviously, when Charlie Kirk was alive,
23:47
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA very strong. They've had some problems since
23:51
Speaker 1: his assassination and execution, but he's always been close to them.
23:55
Speaker 1: So he was basically telling his Republicans, don't condemn these
24:00
Speaker 1: young people who start sort of being attracted by socialism.
24:05
Speaker 1: Understand what it is that is bringing them on board.
24:11
Speaker 8: The Democrat Party has become run by the universities and
24:15
Speaker 8: by the professors. This is not working class union Democrats.
24:18
Speaker 8: This is not socially conservative people who just want a
24:21
Speaker 8: fair shake at life. This is fundamentally a view that
24:25
Speaker 8: the United States is an evil country that must be
24:28
Speaker 8: dismantled from the ground and then built back up. That's
24:31
Speaker 8: communism at its core.
24:33
Speaker 1: That is certainly true, and there are some people on
24:35
Speaker 1: campuses who are like that, but that's not necessarily socialism.
24:40
Speaker 1: So vice PREADI in Advance then made the appeal to
24:44
Speaker 1: members of the GOP to be a little more understanding.
24:49
Speaker 3: Oh you don't have that, Okay, I show you. I
24:53
Speaker 3: found it, just couldn't get it cut in time. Yeah.
24:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:56
Speaker 3: It was with Will Caine when he talked about this.
24:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let me base explain to everybody what this is.
25:03
Speaker 1: Vice President Vance, because of his working with young people,
25:08
Speaker 1: was saying, my warning to fellow Republicans would be, if
25:12
Speaker 1: we don't get this right, don't blame young people for
25:15
Speaker 1: being sympathetic to socialism. We've got to blame ourselves. You
25:19
Speaker 1: don't stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the
25:24
Speaker 1: free market. You've stopped socialism by making people's lives better.
25:29
Speaker 1: And I concur with that. But I also have a
25:32
Speaker 1: remedy since I've spoken at so many college campuses, especially
25:36
Speaker 1: ever since I was hooked up with you by Tom
25:39
Speaker 1: Cuddy and we cohabitated and consummated our relationship, Larry. But
25:44
Speaker 1: I want to use our gen z guy here, Chris,
25:47
Speaker 1: as an example. Chris, did you go to college university?
25:51
Speaker 3: I did? Yes, all right? Which one was it? I
25:53
Speaker 3: went to Seaton Hall?
25:54
Speaker 1: Wow, Seaton Hall, That's Natalie's favorite college.
25:58
Speaker 3: Right, Natalie, we're both alumni. Yes, Oh my god, that's so.
26:03
Speaker 1: This is what I'm suggesting, having seen young men and
26:06
Speaker 1: young women of your age just searching, searching, and obviously
26:11
Speaker 1: socialism is very popular on some of the campuses. Remember Larry,
26:16
Speaker 1: how we had there for a while was very much
26:18
Speaker 1: in vogue. The drag queen reading hours get to the question.
26:23
Speaker 1: But I'm going to suggest, and everybody was upset drag
26:26
Speaker 1: queen reading our Now you don't hear about it anymore,
26:30
Speaker 1: I would suggest because most people don't know that capitalism
26:35
Speaker 1: was created in seventeen seventy six, and it wasn't here
26:38
Speaker 1: in the United States.
26:40
Speaker 3: It was in Scotland by Adam Smith. I'm taking notes.
26:45
Speaker 3: There's a question at the end of it.
26:48
Speaker 1: Quite the eccentric, but can you imagine if the four
26:52
Speaker 1: K girls came in, who are the biggest capitalists in America?
26:56
Speaker 1: The Kardashians, Chris Courtney, Kim Chloe. I think a lot
27:01
Speaker 1: of young people would be paying attention to them as
27:03
Speaker 1: they read from Adam Smith. Probably, yeah, of course that
27:08
Speaker 1: is that is the dogma.
27:10
Speaker 2: After all that the question was three paragraphs, he said.
27:13
Speaker 3: Probably.
27:15
Speaker 12: He just asked if i'd pay attention to the Kardashians
27:17
Speaker 12: that they were teaching about.
27:20
Speaker 2: They are talking all around socialism without talking about how
27:24
Speaker 2: horrible this is. But we're taking it way too seriously
27:29
Speaker 2: right now. It is a political movement that's going to die.
27:32
Speaker 2: It's a political movie that's going to die.
27:34
Speaker 3: It's going to die American history.
27:40
Speaker 2: No, you say that, you think FDRUS one communists?
27:47
Speaker 3: So can we stay in this century at least? No,
27:49
Speaker 3: because he's three.
27:51
Speaker 2: You always want to ignore history. No, I don't want
27:54
Speaker 2: to ignore it. There's just so many important things going
27:57
Speaker 2: on today and we go back to the and then
28:00
Speaker 2: we don't have time to talk about what's going on
28:02
Speaker 2: right now. And this, what's going on right now with
28:05
Speaker 2: socialism is unique.
28:08
Speaker 3: It's unique.
28:09
Speaker 2: It's a growing socialism that wants to get rid of
28:11
Speaker 2: the Senate. They want to get rid of the Supreme Court,
28:14
Speaker 2: they want to get rid of the Electoral College, they
28:16
Speaker 2: want to get rid of police. This is dangerous what's
28:19
Speaker 2: happening right now. But it's only dangerous in theory, it's
28:24
Speaker 2: not dangerous in reality.
28:26
Speaker 1: So who is going to actually preach about the alternative capitalism?
28:30
Speaker 2: Everybody is even democrats are right now, Democrats are. By
28:34
Speaker 2: the way, FDR, who you said was a socialist, used, yes,
28:38
Speaker 2: some socialist policies to bring back capitalism. He had to
28:42
Speaker 2: bring back the country. There's no historians don't agree with you.
28:47
Speaker 2: Historians there is you're I am, you think think you are,
28:53
Speaker 2: except if you go online. I tell people right now,
28:56
Speaker 2: go to AI online look up as FDR socialist sagree
29:02
Speaker 2: with that. Most historians absolutely disagree with you. And he
29:06
Speaker 2: was not a socialist. And so the rise of socialism
29:09
Speaker 2: right now is not even really socialism can finish? Can
29:13
Speaker 2: I just finish the place he spoke for like ten minutes,
29:16
Speaker 2: Let me just finish. Democratic socialism is now just a
29:23
Speaker 2: a malignant part of the Democratic Party that they are
29:26
Speaker 2: trying to get rid of, and the Republicans also are
29:30
Speaker 2: using it as a political tool to win elections.
29:33
Speaker 3: That's all it is right now. Can I ask you
29:35
Speaker 3: a question, what's the last college group you spoke to? Oh? God,
29:39
Speaker 3: that means anything to college kids. I live with the.
29:42
Speaker 1: Young people adhering to socialism now, and I talk to
29:47
Speaker 1: them every single day. Not just speak at them speakers
29:51
Speaker 1: who are going to attract them to capitalism. Lighten up
29:55
Speaker 1: a bit here, what're you talking about no heart attack.
30:00
Speaker 2: I'm having a heart attack because you're pushing this whole
30:02
Speaker 2: thing of socialism.
30:03
Speaker 3: That pushing it.
30:04
Speaker 1: I'm telling you how to veer young people away from
30:07
Speaker 1: it by having speakers who are capitalists, who have attracted
30:11
Speaker 1: their attention. And don't tell me the Kardashians haven't had
30:15
Speaker 1: an effect on an entire generation.
30:17
Speaker 3: They are uber capitalists.
30:19
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't care about the Kardashians at all. As
30:21
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I could go through shows without
30:24
Speaker 2: ever bringing them up, years without there.
30:26
Speaker 3: Talking about young people.
30:28
Speaker 2: Young people follow the Kardashians. Now the young people I
30:31
Speaker 2: mean young people?
30:32
Speaker 3: Did? I think they've grown up a lot?
30:34
Speaker 12: I personally don't, but I do think some they are
30:38
Speaker 12: quite popular.
30:38
Speaker 3: So among what group not in.
30:41
Speaker 12: I think I think older gen zers and younger millennials
30:47
Speaker 12: between like between like twenty five to thirty five forty
30:51
Speaker 12: probably they're their key market.
30:53
Speaker 1: They are super capitalists right in every quest, of course,
30:56
Speaker 1: so they've done quite well.
30:58
Speaker 3: They've had an impact on a whole generation. Let them
31:01
Speaker 3: talk about their benefits of capitalism. By the way, when
31:04
Speaker 3: you say, look at you're getting all upset, I only
31:06
Speaker 3: get upset because I'm trying to talk and you keep
31:08
Speaker 3: talking over me. That's why I get upset. So I
31:10
Speaker 3: have to talk louder and go loud. If I'm an
31:12
Speaker 3: expert on a sub you're not, though you're not. I
31:15
Speaker 3: talked to college groups.
31:17
Speaker 2: That doesn't make your own college groups, that doesn't. I
31:20
Speaker 2: raised two kids, I'll take kids in college.
31:22
Speaker 1: I talked to college every single credentials to your credentials
31:27
Speaker 1: in this area.
31:28
Speaker 3: And I'm suggesting you want to confuse capitalism to with socialism,
31:32
Speaker 3: you do it with celebrities who benefited from capitalism, because
31:36
Speaker 3: that's what the gen Zis have grown up with.
31:38
Speaker 2: It's in a celebrity cause it's gonna die on its
31:40
Speaker 2: own vines. Well, it's not dying, Yes it is. Oh,
31:44
Speaker 2: it's it is right now. Look at Michigan.
31:46
Speaker 3: No, they don't want it.
31:47
Speaker 2: Really, the only Pican, the only places where it is.
31:52
Speaker 3: It's not happen. Okay, you keep thinking that it's gonna die. Okay,
31:56
Speaker 3: you think he's gonna win and it's gonna die. Somebody
32:00
Speaker 3: loves polls like you thinks he's going to win. It's ridiculous.
32:05
Speaker 2: Anyway, when we come back, Natalie Migliori can be the
32:08
Speaker 2: peacekeeper here, she's going to be talking about shoplifting.
32:14
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. I had to look it up.
