Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Full Show
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, as you know, both Larry and Natalie and our audience,
- 0:04Speaker 1: there's a whole group of people out there who have
- 0:07Speaker 1: labeled me the nightmare. That's what they call me. Oh,
- 0:10Speaker 1: you're the nightmare. Because I roam the streets.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I'm nocturnal.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Subway, streets.
- 0:16Speaker 2: I think it's really important that when they call you
- 0:18Speaker 2: a nightmare, we get the spelling down properly. Is it
- 0:22Speaker 2: M-A-Y-O-R or M-A-R-E at the end?
- 0:27Speaker 1: Or K-N-I-G-H-T. That's what I was just thinking.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I could see you as a knight.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Put you in a suit of armor.
- 0:35Speaker 5: To tell you the truth, when you first started with us,
- 0:37Speaker 5: and we obviously get a lot of social media about you,
- 0:40Speaker 5: and people were calling you the Nightmare, and I was like,
- 0:42Speaker 5: is that a good thing or a bad thing?
- 0:44Speaker 3: Should I be like, I wasn't sure.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Like Nightmare on Elm Street.
- 0:47Speaker 6: Right?
- 0:48Speaker 1: But it's like, no, it is. It's a great thing. Well,
- 0:51Speaker 1: if you're a criminal out there, you don't want to
- 0:54Speaker 1: face Curtis Sliwa. After 12 o'clock, it's the witching hour.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Nothing good happens after 12 midnight. So if you're at
- 1:01Speaker 1: a bar, if you're at a club, whatever it is,
- 1:05Speaker 1: nothing good happens. And especially if you're in the streets,
- 1:09Speaker 1: you really got to watch your back then. It's all
- 1:11Speaker 1: kinds of problems. There's homeless, emotionally disturbed. There are people
- 1:15Speaker 1: who want to rob you. But there is a group
- 1:19Speaker 1: of criminals now that we know exists, and we've talked
- 1:22Speaker 1: about this. At 4 o'clock in the morning, it's their
- 1:25Speaker 1: witching hour. They know that they will be unmolested out
- 1:29Speaker 1: there by law enforcement because there are no cops out
- 1:32Speaker 1: in the streets. So we just talked about that issue
- 1:35Speaker 1: in Middle Village. The sewer guy is coming out. Notice
- 1:38Speaker 1: what time did they emerge? 4 a.m. in the morning. Because,
- 1:41Speaker 1: you know, there are no cops around. The other one
- 1:45Speaker 1: is the case that I've been on repeatedly, and I've
- 1:49Speaker 1: talked about it here from time to time. In fact,
- 1:51Speaker 1: we're going to call it a public service announcement because
- 1:54Speaker 1: I've gotten so many emails and texts from people from
- 1:58Speaker 1: all over the tri-state area who've had this happen to them.
- 2:01Speaker 1: The theft of your mail when you do what you
- 2:06Speaker 1: were taught to do.
- 2:06Speaker 2: As a kid.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Remember when your parents first brought you to one of
- 2:09Speaker 1: those blue mailboxes told you how to open it up,
- 2:13Speaker 1: told you how to put the mail in. We're sending
- 2:15Speaker 1: this to your grandpa and grandma. You know, it's their
- 2:18Speaker 1: wedding anniversary. Here, Curtis, put it in, put it.
- 2:21Speaker 7: In, right?
- 2:23Speaker 1: And yet there is theft of the mail on a
- 2:25Speaker 1: regular basis. Even our program director, Tom Cuddy, has sent
- 2:30Speaker 1: me videos of theft of mail in Connecticut, broad daylight.
- 2:33Speaker 1: You know, they roll up They're on their motorbikes. They
- 2:37Speaker 1: don't even bother covering their face. They might as well
- 2:40Speaker 1: be waving at all the cameras and they just steal
- 2:43Speaker 1: the mail. And I've described it before as to how
- 2:48Speaker 1: they do this and how I chase them out of
- 2:50Speaker 1: the neighborhood. And I had had a confrontation with some
- 2:53Speaker 1: of them, and they had gone away for a while.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But I know, I know they're going to come back,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and they're going to come back in force. It doesn't matter.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I've alerted the 80th Precinct on the west side, West 82nd.
- 3:04Speaker 1: They treat me like a person of no consequence.
- 3:07Speaker 2: The U.S.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Postal Inspectors, because this is a federal crime. When we
- 3:10Speaker 1: were growing up, we were told, I remember my father, oh,
- 3:13Speaker 1: anybody stealing the mail, you know, you walk into the
- 3:16Speaker 1: post office at 10 Most Wanted, your picture could be
- 3:19Speaker 1: up there because you don't steal the mail. They don't
- 3:21Speaker 1: play around. And you would see the postal officers. They
- 3:25Speaker 1: carry guns. They have badges.
- 3:26Speaker 2: You know, feds.
- 3:27Speaker 1: They don't play around.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So I've been on their case. In fact, even on
- 3:33Speaker 1: Natalie Magliore, remember, she took photographs of mail outside a mailbox,
- 3:39Speaker 1: broad daylight, not far from where we broadcast iHeart, all
- 3:42Speaker 1: dumped on the ground. You could see that these banditos
- 3:45Speaker 1: went through the mail. You know, they sliced it open.
- 3:48Speaker 1: If there was nothing of value in it, like a
- 3:50Speaker 1: gift certificate or a check or anything, or cash, which
- 3:55Speaker 1: sometimes older people will send. What do they do with checks?
- 3:58Speaker 1: They wash them. So it's like a place you go
- 4:03Speaker 1: where they'll actually take and bleach the checks and then
- 4:06Speaker 1: they'll write it in and then they'll try to cash it.
- 4:09Speaker 1: And they have all kinds of contacts to do that.
- 4:11Speaker 1: So it can be quite lucrative, but it's all based
- 4:14Speaker 1: on volume. So I've been chasing these guys in the
- 4:17Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning and the cops have warned them, man.
- 4:21Speaker 1: You may not know this guy with that red beret,
- 4:23Speaker 1: but you do not want to meet him. He's on
- 4:25Speaker 1: a mission and he's here to stop you.
- 4:27Speaker 2: And it stopped for a while.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So two guys early this morning, I see them. Brand
- 4:32Speaker 1: new motorbike, same color, same make, same model. No license plates,
- 4:36Speaker 1: of course, not in New York City. They're dressed all
- 4:39Speaker 1: in black. You know, they have the baklavas around their face.
- 4:43Speaker 1: They have the black wool caps on and they're right
- 4:46Speaker 1: on the corner. And I can see they're like they're
- 4:49Speaker 1: preparing to go into action to steal from the blue mailboxes.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So like a ninja, I sneak up on them from behind.
- 4:57Speaker 1: And I have, if you notice, notice I don't have
- 4:58Speaker 1: my dress shoes. I have my sneaker shoes on so
- 5:01Speaker 1: they can't hear me coming. And then I scream it.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Get the F out of my neighborhood.
- 5:09Speaker 1: And I bump one and he drops what he has.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And look at this. I showed it to you, Larry.
- 5:15Speaker 1: They were in the process of putting the stickum on
- 5:18Speaker 1: the belt because they take their belt and they put
- 5:21Speaker 1: it down the slot of the blue mailbox, which they
- 5:24Speaker 1: now make the slot so tiny thin you can barely
- 5:28Speaker 1: get the mail in.
- 5:29Speaker 2: It's funny. He's showing me an envelope and taped on
- 5:32Speaker 2: the front of it, I guess just glue stuck on
- 5:34Speaker 2: the front of it. It says glue traps for mice
- 5:37Speaker 2: and insects. And he was so excited when he came
- 5:39Speaker 2: in today. He said, look at this. Look at this.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I got him. And so I thought he had a
- 5:44Speaker 2: mouse problem because I thought to myself, what is it?
- 5:48Speaker 2: Don't you have cats?
- 5:48Speaker 6: Yes.
- 5:50Speaker 2: We have no rat, no mice problem.
- 5:52Speaker 1: In fact, a cockroach doesn't even feel safe scurrying along
- 5:56Speaker 1: the floor.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Because I was trying to figure out what you were
- 5:57Speaker 2: doing with a glue trap for mice, but it makes sense.
- 6:01Speaker 1: This is what they were. They were preparing their belt.
- 6:03Speaker 1: They were going to go on their mission. And they
- 6:05Speaker 1: had it stuck on this one letter. It was to
- 6:08Speaker 1: an address in Chicago. And let me read this, because
- 6:11Speaker 1: it's mostly people of our generation who send letters in cart.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Oh, you even have the card that was inside.
- 6:16Speaker 8: Yes.
- 6:17Speaker 1: And I doubt there was any money. Who knows? Maybe
- 6:20Speaker 1: they snatched whatever money.
- 6:21Speaker 2: This is legal? This is legal. Okay.
- 6:25Speaker 1: So the outside of the car says, amazing, wahoo, congratulations,
- 6:29Speaker 1: well done, you did it, yay. You can tell it's
- 6:32Speaker 1: like a family. We are all rooting for you and
- 6:36Speaker 1: can't wait to visit. Call us anytime. We love you
- 6:40Speaker 1: so much and miss you already.
- 6:42Speaker 3: It's awful that that person isn't getting that.
- 6:44Speaker 6: Mom.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And it's too.
- 6:45Speaker 2: They will now. They will now.
- 6:47Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I'm going to send it there. And we are also
- 6:50Speaker 1: proud of you as you take this big step forward
- 6:53Speaker 1: towards starting college. We know it will be an exciting
- 6:56Speaker 1: next four years for you as you pursue your dreams.
- 7:01Speaker 1: You know that. We know that. We'll support you with
- 7:06Speaker 1: whatever you need. I mean, this is heartfelt.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. These are grandparents? Is that what that is?
- 7:11Speaker 1: No, they're parents.
- 7:12Speaker 2: They're the parents?
- 7:13Speaker 1: They're mom. XOXO mom. So you say to yourself, this
- 7:18Speaker 1: is our generation. This is how we communicate.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Remember? Oh, you trust the U.S.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Mail. You know, put it in the blue mailbox.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Guess what?
- 7:27Speaker 1: They steal the mail. Most of it is of no
- 7:29Speaker 1: value to them. And then they just discard it. They
- 7:32Speaker 1: throw it on the street. And so there is no
- 7:35Speaker 1: effort on the part of the NYPD or the U.S.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Postal Inspectors to stop these banditos. So I'm taking it
- 7:42Speaker 1: on my own. I'm going to make sure that this
- 7:45Speaker 1: card gets to the person. The address in Chicago is
- 7:49Speaker 1: on it. But now you've seen the evidence. And if
- 7:52Speaker 1: they're not going to do anything about it, I'm taking
- 7:55Speaker 1: matters into my own hands. So to you and Tom
- 7:58Speaker 1: Cuddy and the ownership and management of iHeart, If I
- 8:01Speaker 1: happen to miss a morning, don't worry about it. I'll
- 8:04Speaker 1: be out in an hour.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Don't worry, 80th Precinct.
- 8:08Speaker 1: You can sit on your ass there and do nothing,
- 8:11Speaker 1: but you'll release me in an hour because unless you
- 8:13Speaker 1: kill somebody, everybody gets released in New York City.
- 8:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Yeah, well, nice job. That's really great that you're doing
- 8:20Speaker 2: this because there's a lot of people that send some
- 8:23Speaker 2: heartfelt notes that never get there.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Don't put it in the blue mailbox. Go to your
- 8:28Speaker 1: post office or your postal guy or gal when they
- 8:31Speaker 1: come to give you the mail. Give them the mail
- 8:34Speaker 1: that's going to be mailed out. Do not put it
- 8:36Speaker 1: in a blue box or you're playing Santa Claus. And
- 8:39Speaker 1: if there's any value in that, you can forget about it. Yeah,
- 8:43Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, too. When you were reading that note...
- 8:46Speaker 1: I used to love to get letters. You don't get
- 8:48Speaker 1: letters anymore or cards anymore. Everybody just emails you now.
- 8:52Speaker 9: I know.
- 8:53Speaker 5: I got a couple of cards when I was, you know,
- 8:55Speaker 5: home recuperating from surgery for my knee.
- 8:58Speaker 3: And, you know, a lot of people, a lot of texts,
- 9:00Speaker 3: a lot of calls. But I got a couple of
- 9:02Speaker 3: cards and it was so nice.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Yeah. My sister, who unfortunately has passed, used to write
- 9:09Speaker 2: letters all the time. You used to write letters constantly.
- 9:12Speaker 2: So you'd look forward to it. Oh, it's special.
- 9:15Speaker 1: When you get a handwritten letter, you realize, wow, whoever
- 9:18Speaker 1: wrote this put a lot of effort into it. This
- 9:20Speaker 1: is not junk mail. You know, this is not... Curtis Lee,
- 9:24Speaker 1: we're running for mayor. Please send me money so I
- 9:26Speaker 1: can become your next mayor. This is like, boom, this
- 9:28Speaker 1: is a personalized note. And you really, no matter how
- 9:32Speaker 1: many other messages you get, those are the ones you
- 9:35Speaker 1: always remember.
- 9:35Speaker 2: You save them. Yes. I used to, I still have
- 9:38Speaker 2: my sister's letters that meant so much to me. My
- 9:40Speaker 2: dad did the same thing. My dad wrote to everybody.
- 9:44Speaker 2: And he used to tell stories about them and make
- 9:47Speaker 2: up poems about them. And everybody has saved my dad's stuff. So, Larry,
- 9:52Speaker 2: if I.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Have to do what I have to do, and only
- 9:56Speaker 1: I know what has to be done, you all have
- 9:59Speaker 1: to forgive me. if I happen to be missing an
- 10:01Speaker 1: action one morning in broadcasting here. You know, a little paperwork.
- 10:05Speaker 1: You know, the cops. I'll be out before the cops
- 10:08Speaker 1: finish the paperwork. But this has got to stop. And
- 10:11Speaker 1: if Jessica Tisch, the NYPD commissioner, won't prioritize this or
- 10:16Speaker 1: the U.S. Postal Service, it is a federal crime. And remember,
- 10:20Speaker 1: they also follow the guys and gals in the morning.
- 10:23Speaker 1: You run into them on the Amazon little bicycles, you know,
- 10:26Speaker 1: with the trailer behind them. The porch pirates, they also
- 10:30Speaker 1: come out at 4 o'clock in the morning because they
- 10:32Speaker 1: know there are no cops around.
- 10:33Speaker 5: I just can't stop thinking about this mom who put this,
- 10:36Speaker 5: you know, letter in there for her son.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I know.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I'm feeling the same thing.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, you know what?
- 10:41Speaker 5: If there was money in it and it's gone, it's gone.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Okay.
- 10:44Speaker 5: But she might think that she sent it. Her son
- 10:47Speaker 5: never responds. Then she gets angry at her son. Like,
- 10:50Speaker 5: how could he not even like call me after that note?
- 10:53Speaker 5: And it could spiral into like a whole family feud now.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. That's a really good point.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You saved a lot of heartache.
- 11:03Speaker 1: You did.
- 11:03Speaker 2: You just saved a whole lot of heartache.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Think of how many thousands every day this happens to.
- 11:08Speaker 2: So now, if you were to get arrested, I'd do
- 11:11Speaker 2: the show by myself?
- 11:12Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 11:12Speaker 10: Oh, boy.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Look at his face. But I expect now, in the
- 11:18Speaker 1: chance that Alvin Bragg may hear it's Curtis Sliwa, America's
- 11:23Speaker 1: number one vigilante, and decide to make an example of me,
- 11:27Speaker 1: will my... Fellow brothers and sisters in solidarity, pony up
- 11:33Speaker 1: the money, the bail money to get me out.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Eventually.
- 11:36Speaker 1: How many days after? After two or three shows. Anyway,
- 11:41Speaker 1: on that note, we've resolved the missing bodega cat issue,
- 11:45Speaker 1: but there are quite a few twists and turns there
- 11:48Speaker 1: in Park Slope in Brooklyn. Plus, a chance to see
- 11:51Speaker 1: Richard Marks at 825.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Well, Jabal the cat is back. I don't remember, and
- 11:59Speaker 2: you would know better than me, Curtis and Natalie. You'd
- 12:02Speaker 2: know better than me. Has a cat, a bodega cat,
- 12:07Speaker 2: ever gotten this much attention? Never.
- 12:10Speaker 1: See, the rules were before you didn't even want to
- 12:13Speaker 1: acknowledge you had a bodega cat because the Department of
- 12:16Speaker 1: Health would come and fine you heavily, both the city
- 12:19Speaker 1: and state. Until recently, they passed legislation, you can have
- 12:22Speaker 1: a bodega cat. Thank God. But, oh, boy, this little
- 12:28Speaker 1: kitten has received more attention than any bodega cat in
- 12:33Speaker 1: the history of bodega cats. A little jabal, right? Yeah.
- 12:37Speaker 2: On first segment, every single newscast last night, every single newscast,
- 12:41Speaker 2: there was the face of this cat. So the cat
- 12:43Speaker 2: has returned. That is the big story. But remember, after
- 12:48Speaker 2: the phone call yesterday— where the woman just called that
- 12:52Speaker 2: was one of the two people, she didn't take the cat,
- 12:55Speaker 2: the guy with her took the cat, but she was
- 12:57Speaker 2: there and she pet the cat and they were walking
- 13:00Speaker 2: down the street on video and somebody even ran after
- 13:03Speaker 2: them and said, no, no, no, no, no, that belongs
- 13:05Speaker 2: to the guy that runs that bodega and they kept going.
- 13:09Speaker 2: And so you'll remember, and I want to play this
- 13:11Speaker 2: for you again because it's important, it plays into everything.
- 13:15Speaker 2: She made a phone call yesterday saying, and said, hey,
- 13:19Speaker 2: I'm going to bring the cat back. And he kind
- 13:22Speaker 2: of blew it.
- 13:23Speaker 1: She called me.
- 13:25Speaker 2: She said, I'm going to bring you the cat now.
- 13:27Speaker 1: I'm ready. I have my clothes on.
- 13:30Speaker 3: I'm going to bring it to you.
- 13:31Speaker 10: How do you feel?
- 13:32Speaker 1: I feel good. I feel relaxed. I feel, you know, relief.
- 13:36Speaker 11: You know what I mean?
- 13:37Speaker 1: Did she say anything? Why she picked up the cat?
- 13:40Speaker 12: I asked.
- 13:40Speaker 1: She said, I don't see no store.
- 13:41Speaker 13: I said, you're lying.
- 13:42Speaker 4: There's one store there, and the guy who follows you
- 13:48Speaker 4: Told you the cat belongs to the store.
- 13:51Speaker 1: And you stole the cat. But you don't want to
- 13:53Speaker 1: give it to them. But say, anyway, anyway, I'm going
- 13:56Speaker 1: to bring it.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she said she'd bring it in an hour
- 13:59Speaker 2: and she never did. And she didn't bring it because
- 14:03Speaker 2: she thought she'd be charged. Because he said, you stole
- 14:07Speaker 2: my cat.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Now, this could have been easy. She could have brought
- 14:10Speaker 2: it back to him. He could have taken it. No harm,
- 14:13Speaker 2: no fuss. But now she's scared. So what do they do?
- 14:18Speaker 2: She has someone else.
- 14:20Speaker 1: She has her stepson, probably of the guy she was with,
- 14:23Speaker 1: bring the kitten to the local precinct in Park Slope. Right.
- 14:26Speaker 1: And then they go and they detain her and not
- 14:30Speaker 1: even the guy who took the cat.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, exactly. So no matter what she was
- 14:38Speaker 2: going to do, she was going to get arrested. Had
- 14:41Speaker 2: she taken the cat back, To the owner of the bodega,
- 14:46Speaker 2: she probably never would have been arrested.
- 14:48Speaker 1: No, nobody gets arrested in Park Slope. Remember, that is
- 14:50Speaker 1: the most progressive liberal area in the world. But now
- 14:55Speaker 1: it's become a big issue. The bottom line is the
- 15:00Speaker 1: kitten is back with the owner of the bodega. The
- 15:03Speaker 1: kitten had replaced his 17-year-old cat who recently died who
- 15:08Speaker 1: had been with him in the bodega. It's just a
- 15:10Speaker 1: great story. It just warms your heart. Except you got
- 15:14Speaker 1: to be wondering right now if the woman is like
- 15:17Speaker 1: saying to herself, and why am I being detained in
- 15:20Speaker 1: the precinct?
- 15:21Speaker 2: I'm sure she's told him that.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It was my.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Boyfriend, as you can see in the video, who took
- 15:25Speaker 2: the cat. And I was the one that tried to
- 15:27Speaker 2: take it back. Yes, I called the guy. He said
- 15:31Speaker 2: I stole it. It wasn't me. It was my boyfriend.
- 15:36Speaker 2: All right. Let's get to some talkbacks. This is amazing.
- 15:39Speaker 13: My taxes are paying for the United States Postal Service
- 15:44Speaker 13: to go out and catch these thieves that are robbing mail.
- 15:48Speaker 13: And Curtis Lewa, who doesn't get paid, who is smart
- 15:52Speaker 13: enough how to find.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Them, finds them.
- 15:55Speaker 13: Maybe, Curtis, you should give a training class to the
- 15:58Speaker 13: United States Postal Police and secure our mail.
- 16:03Speaker 6: I will.
- 16:04Speaker 1: And I'll do it voluntarily. No charge to the taxpayers.
- 16:07Speaker 2: I will.
- 16:08Speaker 1: You're like a ninja. You sneak up on them. Except
- 16:11Speaker 1: my methods afterwards, not my muster constitutional approval.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Another talk back.
- 16:19Speaker 14: I am so sad and disgusted.
- 16:23Speaker 1: You are correct.
- 16:24Speaker 14: But so happy to hear you having brought that story about.
- 16:28Speaker 4: The little girl.
- 16:29Speaker 14: This is just a sign of our times. And it's
- 16:32Speaker 14: just unbelievable. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing that.
- 16:38Speaker 14: And I'm going to share it with people who I
- 16:40Speaker 14: know do not listen to your radio station.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Well, maybe they'll listen now. She's talking about the story
- 16:47Speaker 2: of a six-year-old girl in Washington Borough in Warren Township
- 16:52Speaker 2: who was raped in the middle of the night, kidnapped
- 16:54Speaker 2: out of her room, and raped by someone who was
- 16:59Speaker 2: in the country illegally, and nobody covered it. except for
- 17:03Speaker 2: a couple of outlets that should be mentioned. Channel 12
- 17:07Speaker 2: covered it. The local radio stations there covered it. NJ.com
- 17:12Speaker 2: covered it. Fox in Philadelphia covered it. None of the
- 17:15Speaker 2: network stations in New York covered it, and they had
- 17:18Speaker 2: the chance to make up for that last night. They
- 17:21Speaker 2: didn't cover it again. If you would have switched things
- 17:26Speaker 2: around a little bit, this would have been a national story.
- 17:29Speaker 2: But this little girl got no love from the media
- 17:32Speaker 2: and they should be ashamed. Let's get to Daria Albinger
- 17:35Speaker 2: now with the 630 News. Good morning, guys.

- 18:03Speaker 2: Let's invest more in safety.
- 18:05Speaker 16: The CEO of the most valuable company on Earth, whose
- 18:07Speaker 16: chips power the industry, saying this.
- 18:10Speaker 2: We don't need any new laws. We don't need new regulations.
- 18:13Speaker 16: Huang rejecting the idea that speed and safety are a trade-off.
- 18:17Speaker 2: ABC's Karen Hua.

- 18:35Speaker 7: Maria Inez Granda was found dead with head trauma inside
- 18:39Speaker 7: her Bay Ridge apartment Monday morning after a call for
- 18:43Speaker 7: a wellness check on the 59-year-old from her son. On
- 18:46Speaker 7: a hunch, the son drove Monday to the Sunset Park
- 18:49Speaker 7: apartment where his mother's husband, Mauricio Granda, used to live
- 18:53Speaker 7: and Found him inside. The Daily News says he blocked
- 18:56Speaker 7: traffic as he waited for police to show up. They
- 18:59Speaker 7: arrested the 47-year-old Tuesday evening and charged him with murder.

- 19:33Speaker 2: and now we're hearing from more and more jurors. The
- 19:37Speaker 2: one juror who was the holdout is getting death threats.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Another juror said there was a cause bigger than the
- 19:44Speaker 2: three children. We'll talk about that. You'll hear from them
- 19:48Speaker 2: when we come back. Don't miss our iHeartRadio Music Festival

- 20:36Speaker 1: This Lindsay Clancy case gets ever more complicated, even though
- 20:41Speaker 1: the jury made its decision. It was a mistrial, one
- 20:44Speaker 1: holdout juror, and yet it's taken on a life of
- 20:47Speaker 1: its own. The jurors have all gone home. Some chose
- 20:51Speaker 1: to be interviewed. Some chose, hey, I just want my anonymity.
- 20:55Speaker 1: I want to get back to normal life. Well, the
- 20:57Speaker 1: judge yesterday had to seal the names of the 12 jurors.
- 21:03Speaker 1: who he announced are facing a real and present risk
- 21:08Speaker 1: to their lives. Many of them have contacted the court
- 21:12Speaker 1: and say they fear leaving their homes. There are people outside,
- 21:18Speaker 1: whether they have an agenda or they're sleuths. You know,
- 21:21Speaker 1: they're like self-appointed Nancy Grace. They want to interview the
- 21:25Speaker 1: juror to connect the dots. One juror has been threatened.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Personal information of another has been posted. We know the
- 21:34Speaker 1: woman was arrested. One of the demonstrators in pink would
- 21:38Speaker 1: film them as they were going to and from deliberations.
- 21:42Speaker 1: And the holdout juror that you had applauded for maintaining
- 21:46Speaker 1: his belief system and not caving to the majority has
- 21:50Speaker 1: been identified as a Haitian American who lives in the area. Already,
- 21:54Speaker 1: people have found out that on a previous occasion, he
- 21:57Speaker 1: was arrested for domestic violence. That case was dismissed. And
- 22:01Speaker 1: Governor DeSantis has said, hey, guy, come on down to Florida.
- 22:06Speaker 1: We'll give you sanctuary. And then you say to yourself,
- 22:12Speaker 1: if the DA there decides, let's go for a second
- 22:14Speaker 1: bite at the apple to get the criminal charges, how
- 22:17Speaker 1: are you going to be able to get a jury now?
- 22:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what. The big controversy with the
- 22:23Speaker 2: one holdout is that he had faced charges of assaulting
- 22:28Speaker 2: his own wife. He grabbed her by the neck and
- 22:31Speaker 2: threw her into a chest of drawers They have dropped
- 22:35Speaker 2: the charges a little bit later on, but there was
- 22:38Speaker 2: a restraining order and they finally divorced. And the reason
- 22:41Speaker 2: that's a big deal right now is had the judge
- 22:45Speaker 2: known that ahead of time, he never would have been
- 22:47Speaker 2: on that jury. It never would have happened. So the
- 22:51Speaker 2: fact that that was withheld is becoming a big thing
- 22:54Speaker 2: right now, considering that is the one holdout. And then they,
- 22:58Speaker 2: as you were talking about with the jurors that are
- 23:00Speaker 2: being interviewed, you know, they're asking for anonymity. Well, half
- 23:03Speaker 2: of them have been out there and wanted the TV time.
- 23:07Speaker 2: And a new juror has come forward. And listen, I
- 23:11Speaker 2: think this is really sickening. That they thought, she claims,
- 23:17Speaker 2: they thought that they were giving a symbol, that they
- 23:24Speaker 2: were making a statement. that they were making a change
- 23:27Speaker 2: for the entire country with their ruling. So in the
- 23:32Speaker 2: entire interview, I didn't hear her talk about the children.
- 23:35Speaker 2: She talked about women. And so the women that seemed
- 23:39Speaker 2: to be on that jury, and there were nine of them,
- 23:41Speaker 2: seemed to have taken over and they had a bigger,
- 23:45Speaker 2: bigger issue that they were fighting for. It was almost
- 23:48Speaker 2: like a protest on the streets.
- 23:50Speaker 17: I think that we all felt the enormity of our decision.
- 23:54Speaker 17: We didn't know what was going on outside of that room,
- 23:59Speaker 17: but we knew that we had a chance to get
- 24:03Speaker 17: a conversation started that could change something that could maybe
- 24:11Speaker 17: stop this from ever happening again.
- 24:13Speaker 2: So they were thinking well beyond the case. They weren't,
- 24:19Speaker 2: The only thing that mattered to me, as I've said
- 24:21Speaker 2: from the beginning, are those three children. That was the
- 24:23Speaker 2: only thing that mattered. That apparently didn't matter to the
- 24:26Speaker 2: women on the jury. This was a big statement about
- 24:30Speaker 2: women's rights and postpartum depression. And it became bigger than
- 24:36Speaker 2: the case. And the case was the most important thing.
- 24:39Speaker 2: And even when the interviewer said, well, you know, when
- 24:42Speaker 2: you're saying all this, you're showing a little bit of bias.
- 24:44Speaker 17: She said, how can you have biased if Only women
- 24:48Speaker 17: can go through postpartum depression. Only women can go through
- 24:53Speaker 17: postpartum psychosis. Only women can deliver a baby. That's not bias.
- 24:59Speaker 17: That's just a fact.
- 25:00Speaker 2: So males can't have empathy. And by the way, you
- 25:03Speaker 2: just defined bias. That's a bias you have. And it's
- 25:08Speaker 2: a bias that you have because you're a woman. But
- 25:11Speaker 2: you're supposed to separate that when you're on a trial
- 25:16Speaker 2: and you're looking at three children being murdered by their mother. Now,
- 25:21Speaker 2: all the other stuff you talked about, you can take
- 25:23Speaker 2: into account. But that shouldn't be the only thing. And
- 25:27Speaker 2: that's the only thing she talked about. Well, I like
- 25:29Speaker 2: the one statement she said.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Which cuts through everything we've heard in the House of
- 25:34Speaker 1: Representatives and Senate when they're doing interviews of potentially people
- 25:40Speaker 1: becoming judges and stuff. She said only a woman can
- 25:42Speaker 1: have a baby. She made that very clear because you
- 25:45Speaker 1: know how many Democrats have been flummoxed. You do realize
- 25:48Speaker 1: that only a woman can deliver a baby in the world.
- 25:51Speaker 1: How many times have Democrats, you know, and they're being–
- 25:54Speaker 1: uh you know ask you.
- 25:56Speaker 2: They can't even define a woman exactly so believe me
- 25:59Speaker 2: they're confused in a lot of.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Things this is this notion that when you see the
- 26:04Speaker 1: jury in a high profile case this is high problem
- 26:06Speaker 1: it's not true in in low profile cases that the
- 26:10Speaker 1: jurors are not going to realize all the attention it's
- 26:13Speaker 1: being focused.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Oh they knew yeah Oh, they knew, and they knew,
- 26:17Speaker 2: and they wanted to make a stand for the entire country.
- 26:20Speaker 2: This was not the trial of this woman. This became
- 26:26Speaker 2: a movement in the jury room.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Well, remember how we discussed on nowhere near at the
- 26:31Speaker 1: level of O.J.? That jury also was making a statement.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Remember?
- 26:36Speaker 1: A racial division in the country it's never happened to
- 26:39Speaker 1: white people why does it happen you know yeah he's
- 26:42Speaker 1: guilty there's no doubt OJ is guilty but how come
- 26:45Speaker 1: it has to happen to a black guy remember how
- 26:47Speaker 1: some of the jurors were like what so I don't
- 26:51Speaker 1: know how you deal with that and if you're the
- 26:53Speaker 1: DA now how do you push forward for a second
- 26:56Speaker 1: case realizing how you're going to get an honest jury
- 27:01Speaker 1: pool of men and women who are going to say
- 27:04Speaker 1: hey I'm just going to deal with the facts.
- 27:05Speaker 2: You get more men Oh, you can't do that. You
- 27:07Speaker 2: get a little bit more men. Yeah, well, you can
- 27:09Speaker 2: split it half and half. Yes, you can.
- 27:11Speaker 1: They'll say you can't do that.
- 27:13Speaker 6: Why?
- 27:13Speaker 2: Why does it have to be a majority of anybody?
- 27:17Speaker 2: Isn't that being sexist? Isn't that being.
- 27:20Speaker 1: The majority of men went with the women. The two
- 27:22Speaker 1: other men went with the women.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Okay, so... Yeah, but I don't think you can do
- 27:27Speaker 2: it just based on gender or race. You just proved
- 27:29Speaker 2: my point. Constitutionally, you can't do that.
- 27:32Speaker 10: But.
- 27:32Speaker 2: To be discussed another day. Constitutionally, you can pick anybody
- 27:36Speaker 2: you want. Constitutionally, the jurors get to pick who they want.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Up next, the City Council of Danbury, Connecticut voted nearly
- 27:45Speaker 1: unanimously to approve non-citizen legal residents serving in their police department.
- 27:54Speaker 1: They are out of their mind.
- 27:57Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, it gets to the point where
- 27:59Speaker 2: you just want to give up. There's so much craziness,
- 28:03Speaker 2: especially in Democratic states and Democratic cities, that after a
- 28:08Speaker 2: while you hear a story and you go, we should
- 28:11Speaker 2: just have a civil war. We should split. Let the
- 28:15Speaker 2: Democrats run half the country. Let the Republicans run half
- 28:18Speaker 2: the country. Because in the half that the Democrats run,
- 28:21Speaker 2: they'll be in debt. They'll be high crime. And they'll just,
- 28:26Speaker 2: it will destroy itself. Because this is the type of
- 28:31Speaker 2: story that makes me feel that way. The Democrat-dominated city
- 28:36Speaker 2: council of Danbury, Connecticut, voted nearly unanimously to approve non-citizen
- 28:44Speaker 2: legal residents to serve as police officers. And the vote
- 28:51Speaker 2: was 18 to 2. And one of the Democratic, it
- 28:57Speaker 2: was almost all Democratic, One of the Democratic council members said,
- 29:02Speaker 2: this sends a message to our immigrant community at large,
- 29:06Speaker 2: that you are all welcome in Danbury. So this is
- 29:11Speaker 2: the same party that lent eight to 10 million people
- 29:15Speaker 2: over the Southern border illegally. The same party that came
- 29:19Speaker 2: up with sanctuary city policies, which has been a nightmare,
- 29:23Speaker 2: both for city budgets and for crime across the country.
- 29:28Speaker 2: that are now saying, hey, guess what? You want to
- 29:30Speaker 2: be a police officer? We'll let you do that, too.
- 29:33Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you were a U.S. citizen. it's
- 29:36Speaker 2: it curtis to me that's crazy time.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Well apparently the whole state has this as a standard
- 29:42Speaker 1: i don't know how many other cities or municipalities or
- 29:45Speaker 1: towns or villages uh utilize that but let's look at
- 29:49Speaker 1: danbury itself i've been there many times it's right on
- 29:51Speaker 1: the border of new york and 90 000 residents nice
- 29:56Speaker 1: community they have 160 cops There was no talk of
- 30:01Speaker 1: there being a shortage of police officers. You know, sometimes
- 30:04Speaker 1: a municipal police department, oh, we're like 40, 50 officers down. No, no, no.
- 30:10Speaker 1: They just decided to do this. By the way, starting pay, $ 70, 000.
- 30:14Speaker 1: You know what starting pay is for NYPD? $ 38, 500. So
- 30:19Speaker 1: you get double the amount. You can work up to
- 30:21Speaker 1: $ 97, 000 plus you have extras, you know, overtime and special
- 30:26Speaker 1: duties and all that. So it's not like they were
- 30:28Speaker 1: having a hard time getting recruits or possibly men and
- 30:31Speaker 1: women who wanted to join the department. No, they just wanted,
- 30:34Speaker 1: as you said, to make this statement that if you
- 30:37Speaker 1: were DACA or if you had a green card, you
- 30:40Speaker 1: weren't a total citizen, we welcome you on board.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Again, why?
- 30:46Speaker 1: Why the extreme measures? You weren't short of police officers.
- 30:49Speaker 1: You were meeting your quota of what you needed each
- 30:52Speaker 1: year as there were retirees. You just wanted to make
- 30:55Speaker 1: a statement. But I think the bigger concern— You're trying
- 30:57Speaker 1: to use common sense.
- 30:58Speaker 2: You're just trying to use— common sense does not apply to
- 31:02Speaker 2: almost any Democratic policy these days. None. And I used
- 31:05Speaker 2: to agree with Democrats on a lot of things, a
- 31:08Speaker 2: lot of things in the past. They've gone so far
- 31:11Speaker 2: to the left, I don't agree with anything.
- 31:13Speaker 1: But you see, I think they're relying on the state
- 31:17Speaker 1: statutes for police. They're saying, well, this is what the
- 31:20Speaker 1: state now calls for. We can do this. So that
- 31:23Speaker 1: means whatever community you are in the state of Connecticut,
- 31:28Speaker 1: from the border with Rhode Island to the border with
- 31:30Speaker 1: New York, you could do exactly what they did and
- 31:32Speaker 1: rely on the state statutes.
- 31:35Speaker 16: Right.
- 31:35Speaker 2: You exactly got it. The state says you're allowed to
- 31:38Speaker 2: do this. They still have to do it. They don't
- 31:41Speaker 2: have to do it. They're not forcing it. They're just saying,
- 31:44Speaker 2: if you want to, you can do this. But they're
- 31:47Speaker 2: making news because apparently this is the first. And this
- 31:50Speaker 2: is the first time it's happening. And it's 18 to
- 31:53Speaker 2: 2 that they're saying this. So the only good thing
- 31:56Speaker 2: about it is that maybe now we don't have to
- 31:58Speaker 2: pay benefits to these people. Maybe now they have a
- 32:01Speaker 2: working salary, so they're not going to be sucking from
- 32:04Speaker 2: the teat of the federal government.
- 32:06Speaker 10: All the time.
- 32:06Speaker 1: This is the problem, the creep. It's right on the
- 32:09Speaker 1: border with New York. It's not all that much difference
- 32:12Speaker 1: between the politics of Connecticut, as you know, and New York.
- 32:15Speaker 1: It's blue and blue. What community in New York is
- 32:18Speaker 1: going to look at Danbury right on its border and say, well,
- 32:22Speaker 1: if they're doing it, we should be able to do
- 32:25Speaker 1: it too. You know how this all starts. And you
- 32:28Speaker 1: say to yourself. Wait, you have more than enough capable recruits.
- 32:32Speaker 1: You're not in a recruiting crunch. It's not like you're
- 32:36Speaker 1: 60 officers down, all hands on deck, emergency, emergency. You're
- 32:40Speaker 1: not at that point.
- 32:41Speaker 2: The big argument for having more migrants here is that
- 32:45Speaker 2: they take jobs Americans don't want. You're telling me Americans
- 32:50Speaker 2: don't want a $ 70, 000 job to be a law enforcement?
- 32:54Speaker 2: To start? That's double the NYPD. Of course they do.
- 32:57Speaker 2: You're taking jobs at this point. You're taking jobs away,
- 33:01Speaker 2: which is exactly what the Republicans have said from the
- 33:04Speaker 2: very beginning. No, this is horrible that this is happening.
- 33:08Speaker 2: And what you said is extremely scary. Will this now spread?
- 33:12Speaker 2: Because if it does, it really is time to split
- 33:14Speaker 2: up the country.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Up next, Macklemore is off the Ed Sheeran tour. But, oh, man,
- 33:21Speaker 1: it's all blown up with every element in this that
- 33:25Speaker 1: you can imagine. And we're going to get into all
- 33:28Speaker 1: the layers of this up next after this 7 o'clock news. Wow.
- 33:34Speaker 1: All of a sudden... An amazing eruption has taken place
- 33:39Speaker 1: on Ed Sheeran's North America, South America tour. He was
- 33:43Speaker 1: going to devote months going from Canada all the way
- 33:47Speaker 1: down to Argentina and Chile. As you know, he's got
- 33:52Speaker 1: quite a following out there. He's done a number of
- 33:54Speaker 1: amazing videos, a number of amazing songs. And his opening act, Macklemore,
- 34:01Speaker 1: who's a rapper, white rapper, in fact, from Seattle. set
- 34:06Speaker 1: it off when they were at MetLife Stadium. And at
- 34:10Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium, right when he got into a song that
- 34:15Speaker 1: was dedicated, Heinz Hall, to what has happened with the
- 34:19Speaker 1: Palestinian people, this was on September 5th, while introducing the song,
- 34:25Speaker 1: he said, Free Palestine, Free Palestine, and then added, To
- 34:30Speaker 1: all my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel, criticism
- 34:34Speaker 1: of apartheid, being against genocide, it is in no way
- 34:38Speaker 1: criticism of you. Now, there were a number of Jewish
- 34:42Speaker 1: people who were in attendance who took offense to it.
- 34:44Speaker 1: They took videos of it. There were others that didn't
- 34:47Speaker 1: seem to have a problem with it, but it took
- 34:50Speaker 1: on a life of its own because the tour is
- 34:53Speaker 1: heading up to Gillette Stadium outside of Boston. This is
- 34:57Speaker 1: where the New England Patriots play. And it's owned by
- 35:01Speaker 1: Robert Kraft. And in fact, the two hoped-for concert dates,
- 35:07Speaker 1: which had already been booked, were taking place next week.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Two nights with Ed Sheeran and Macklemore. But all of
- 35:15Speaker 1: a sudden, within the last 48 hours, Ed Sheeran has said, look,
- 35:21Speaker 1: Macklemore will no longer be my opening act. It's not
- 35:25Speaker 1: anything that I chose. The promoters of the tour have
- 35:29Speaker 1: decided they can't go forward because there are other venues
- 35:32Speaker 1: that will not accept him as part of my concert.
- 35:36Speaker 1: He then went on to say, I have my personal
- 35:39Speaker 1: views on this devastating conflict, but I'm not here to
- 35:44Speaker 1: do politics. I'm here just to entertain the crowd. Macklemore
- 35:49Speaker 1: doubled down, and then apparently the people who were going
- 35:53Speaker 1: to replace Macklemore on the tour as the opening act
- 35:57Speaker 1: They also decided that they would not participate. So it's
- 36:02Speaker 1: come down to a situation where Robert Kraft is the
- 36:05Speaker 1: person who lobbied the other venues not to accept the
- 36:10Speaker 1: concert with Ed Sheeran if Macklemore was part of it.
- 36:15Speaker 1: So it wasn't just Gillette Stadium, which he controls. He's
- 36:18Speaker 1: the owner and operator of it. but he lobbied the others.
- 36:21Speaker 1: And now he's trying to backpedal a bit and say, well, look,
- 36:24Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with Macklemore on some of the
- 36:26Speaker 1: issues affecting Palestinian people. I'd like to have a sit
- 36:29Speaker 1: down and discuss this. But what he did was anti-Semitic.
- 36:33Speaker 1: And this gets to the whole debate that is raging,
- 36:36Speaker 1: not just in our area, but all throughout America. If
- 36:40Speaker 1: you criticize the government of Israel now, does that make
- 36:45Speaker 1: you anti-Semitic?
- 36:48Speaker 2: Yeah, let me go back to the concert for a second, though.
- 36:51Speaker 2: I feel so bad for Ed Sheeran at this point.
- 36:54Speaker 2: I mean, Ed Sheeran didn't ask for this. I've seen
- 36:56Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran in concert a couple of times. I'm a
- 36:59Speaker 2: fan of his. I've seen many interviews with him. He
- 37:03Speaker 2: tries to play it straight down the middle, never talks
- 37:06Speaker 2: about politics, never talks about anything controversial. And for this
- 37:11Speaker 2: to be laid on his doorstep... now all of the
- 37:14Speaker 2: sudden is just completely unfair. So let's just take him
- 37:19Speaker 2: out of the conversation because he really had nothing to
- 37:23Speaker 2: do with this. And now he's been put in this situation,
- 37:26Speaker 2: which is horrible. Now you have them trying to find
- 37:30Speaker 2: other opening acts, and they're all now saying, we're not
- 37:33Speaker 2: going to do it.
- 37:34Speaker 1: Correct.
- 37:35Speaker 2: One after another, after another, after half the people you
- 37:37Speaker 2: don't know. At Macklemore, by the way, of all the
- 37:41Speaker 2: people that are listed... Like Boyegas? Who the heck is that?
- 37:45Speaker 2: All the other people that are listed, nobody knows. Or
- 37:49Speaker 2: they have a very small fan base. At least Macklemore
- 37:52Speaker 2: was a name. And it wasn't just Kraft. It was
- 37:56Speaker 2: the promoter as well. The promoter is the one that
- 38:00Speaker 2: was talking to all the owners. Kraft did it at
- 38:02Speaker 2: his own place. I'm not sure he pressured everybody else.
- 38:04Speaker 2: The promoter said, we're not going to do this anymore.
- 38:08Speaker 2: We're not going to have this. I really believe, even
- 38:11Speaker 2: though Ed Sheeran's statement doesn't say this, I think Ed
- 38:15Speaker 2: Sheeran wants to be as far away from this as
- 38:17Speaker 2: he possibly can be. Can you imagine if he went
- 38:20Speaker 2: from city to city to city to city and each
- 38:23Speaker 2: person got up and made some type of political statement
- 38:25Speaker 2: before he got up? That's the whole show. They take
- 38:28Speaker 2: all of the attention away from the headliner, which is
- 38:32Speaker 2: not their job. And so, listen, in this whole thing,
- 38:38Speaker 2: I feel like Ed Sheeran's a victim and nobody else
- 38:41Speaker 2: is in this whole thing. He's, he's taking a lot
- 38:44Speaker 2: of incoming people. Aren't following them. People feel like he
- 38:47Speaker 2: should be supporting Macklemore, which he did as much as
- 38:50Speaker 2: he could without trying to get political. And I'm sure
- 38:55Speaker 2: that everybody listening right now, and I'd love to hear
- 38:57Speaker 2: your talk backs, everybody listening right now, they don't go
- 39:00Speaker 2: to a concert to hear any, anything political unless they're
- 39:04Speaker 2: being told ahead of time, this is going to be
- 39:06Speaker 2: a political concert. Unless they're being told ahead of time,
- 39:09Speaker 2: like Springsteen used to do. Now he just springs it
- 39:12Speaker 2: on you. Springsteen used to say, we're going to do
- 39:14Speaker 2: a political concert and I wouldn't go because I knew
- 39:17Speaker 2: what he was going to say. But listen, Macklemore was wrong.
- 39:23Speaker 2: He was absolutely wrong. I know he's being hailed as
- 39:27Speaker 2: a hero by the left right now, but he was wrong.
- 39:31Speaker 2: He shouldn't be up there espousing his political opinion when
- 39:34Speaker 2: he's the opening act. It's not fair to the venue owner.
- 39:38Speaker 2: It's not fair to the promoter. It's not fair to
- 39:40Speaker 2: the headliner. And so I'm glad he's off the tour.
- 39:43Speaker 2: I'm glad he is. As a matter of fact, Ed
- 39:45Speaker 2: Sheeran can handle it by himself.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Well, there's no doubt he could handle it by himself.
- 39:49Speaker 1: But you're assuming that Ed Sheeran did not know this
- 39:52Speaker 1: about Macklemore. Macklemore has a history of doing this. Did
- 39:56Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran, when they signed him up, because now he's claiming, oh,
- 39:59Speaker 1: it's the promoters, the promoters who put him on the bill.
- 40:02Speaker 1: I don't buy that. When you're the star, you determine
- 40:04Speaker 1: who your opening acts are. If you're not happy with
- 40:06Speaker 1: the opening acts, you don't go on tour. Did Ed
- 40:09Speaker 1: Sheeran have a conversation with Macklemore? They're friends. He said, hey, Mack,
- 40:14Speaker 1: you know, if you're on my tour, I'd prefer that
- 40:17Speaker 1: you not do any political references because this is obviously
- 40:21Speaker 1: a tour that's going to go from North America to
- 40:23Speaker 1: South America. It's going to take many weeks, many months.
- 40:26Speaker 1: There are a lot of people involved with this. So
- 40:29Speaker 1: you're blaming Ed Sheeran for this? No, I'm just wondering
- 40:32Speaker 1: because obviously Ed Sheeran is not talking.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran, by the way. Ed Sheeran.
- 40:36Speaker 8: Right.
- 40:36Speaker 1: He's blaming the promoters. Promoters don't have that kind of
- 40:40Speaker 1: power to tell you your opening act has to be Macklemore.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Come on.
- 40:45Speaker 1: That's what Ed Sheeran seems to be implying is that
- 40:49Speaker 1: this is my opening act. This is what I was
- 40:51Speaker 1: told to do. This guy is a friend of his.
- 40:53Speaker 1: He knows Macklemore has done this before. And in fact,
- 40:56Speaker 1: Macklemore made this announcement in midlife right before he did
- 41:01Speaker 1: his song, Heinz Hall, which refers to the building at
- 41:05Speaker 1: Columbia University that was taken over.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Right.
- 41:07Speaker 1: By the pro-Palestinian crowd that, in fact, right now it's
- 41:11Speaker 1: all part of the news. Mahmoud Khalil is suing Columbia
- 41:14Speaker 1: because he led that demonstration.
- 41:17Speaker 2: We know that story. So all of the other people
- 41:21Speaker 2: that are now on Ed Sheeran's side saying that Macklemore
- 41:25Speaker 2: shouldn't have done that to him, they are all being misguided.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Sheeran lied, obviously, because you're saying, because he says the
- 41:34Speaker 2: promoters decided this, not me. And the promoters are also
- 41:38Speaker 2: saying this was our decision, but they're all lying. So
- 41:40Speaker 2: now this has turned not only in your mind, not
- 41:44Speaker 2: only into some guy showing up and ruining a concert,
- 41:49Speaker 2: but Now a big conspiracy against him.
- 41:52Speaker 6: No.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I mean, do you really think, as big as Ed
- 41:56Speaker 1: Sheeran is, that he is forced to have Macklemore as
- 42:00Speaker 1: his opening act?
- 42:00Speaker 2: Do you really believe that? Oh, no. I didn't think
- 42:03Speaker 2: he was going to do this. I did not think he...
- 42:05Speaker 2: I think for... Because he went way overboard in this.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Because he said F Israel at one point. So he
- 42:12Speaker 2: went way overboard.
- 42:13Speaker 6: No, no.
- 42:13Speaker 2: He didn't say that.
- 42:14Speaker 1: I can get it for you. Let me be specific again.
- 42:18Speaker 1: because this falls right into the trap that if you
- 42:22Speaker 1: criticize the Israeli government now of Bibi, you immediately get
- 42:27Speaker 1: called an anti-Semite, which is exactly what Robert Kraft was saying.
- 42:34Speaker 1: What he said was, free Palestine, free Palestine. And then
- 42:38Speaker 1: he went on to say, hey, this is not a
- 42:41Speaker 1: reflection on Jewish people at all. This is a reflection
- 42:45Speaker 1: on what obviously McLemore believes is genocide, apartheid in Gaza.
- 42:51Speaker 1: To all my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel,
- 42:54Speaker 1: criticism of apartheid, being against genocide. It is in no
- 42:58Speaker 1: way criticism of you.
- 43:00Speaker 2: So let me go find the clip that we played
- 43:02Speaker 2: the other day where we bleeped him out, and then
- 43:04Speaker 2: you can believe it. I'll play that a little bit
- 43:07Speaker 2: later in the show.
- 43:07Speaker 1: All right, so assuming it is.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Okay.
- 43:09Speaker 1: But he also said that. That's a direct quote.
- 43:13Speaker 2: You did say that. Right.
- 43:15Speaker 1: But the fact is that he has a history of
- 43:18Speaker 1: doing this in concerts. I would just like to know
- 43:21Speaker 1: if Ed Sheeran, who is a friend of his— Had
- 43:25Speaker 1: a conversation before they started this huge tour, North America
- 43:29Speaker 1: and South America. And he said, hey, you know, I'd
- 43:32Speaker 1: like you to just forget the political stuff.
- 43:34Speaker 2: He says he didn't know. Ed Sheeran has come out
- 43:36Speaker 2: and said he didn't know. And he said this was
- 43:38Speaker 2: not my decision to have him in there. He didn't
- 43:41Speaker 2: know he was going to say that. Should he have known?
- 43:43Speaker 2: That's your point. That's a stronger point instead of calling
- 43:46Speaker 2: him a liar. I don't think this guy is lying.
- 43:49Speaker 2: I don't think Ed Sheeran's lying. I think he got
- 43:52Speaker 2: screwed by Macklemore because now there's negative publicity. This guy
- 43:57Speaker 2: never has any negative publicity about him, ever.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Oh, you're correct. You're correct. And I and Nancy, we
- 44:02Speaker 1: love his songs. We love his videos. I just think
- 44:05Speaker 1: the person who is going to benefit most from this
- 44:07Speaker 1: now is Macklemore.
- 44:08Speaker 2: He'll be able to go on his own tours.
- 44:10Speaker 1: And he'll be able to go to countries that are
- 44:13Speaker 1: very pro-Palestinian. including Ireland and Scotland and Spain and a
- 44:18Speaker 1: whole bunch of countries. So the best to Ed Sheeran,
- 44:23Speaker 1: obviously the best to everybody who is part of that
- 44:26Speaker 1: tour who is depending on that income that they're not
- 44:28Speaker 1: going to get, all the roadies, all the people we
- 44:30Speaker 1: don't even think about that have basically put away a
- 44:33Speaker 1: year of their life because this is how they earn
- 44:35Speaker 1: their income.
- 44:36Speaker 2: I think it's still going to sell out. People will
- 44:38Speaker 2: want to see Ed Sheeran.
- 44:40Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to continue.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Nobody comes for the opening act.
- 44:43Speaker 1: No, I know, but I don't know if Ed Sheeran
- 44:46Speaker 1: wants to be at a concert where all of a
- 44:48Speaker 1: sudden people start pulling out Palestinian flags in support of
- 44:52Speaker 1: Macklemore and the other artists.
- 44:54Speaker 2: I guarantee you he's not going to cancel this concert
- 44:57Speaker 2: because he'll get sued. He'll get sued by all of
- 44:59Speaker 2: the owners, the venue owners.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Robert Kraft himself should never have inserted himself as the
- 45:05Speaker 1: spokesperson because he's like the worst possible spokesperson you can have.
- 45:10Speaker 1: I mean, here's the rub and tug guy. Remember at
- 45:12Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, decided to go get a kimchi cutie
- 45:16Speaker 1: to give him a happy moment. This is not the
- 45:18Speaker 1: guy you want speaking on behalf of all the owners
- 45:21Speaker 1: and operators of the arenas in America who said, we're
- 45:24Speaker 1: going to cancel out on you, Ed, but you got
- 45:26Speaker 1: to let Macklemore go.
- 45:27Speaker 2: Have you seen some strange gold cars riding around New
- 45:31Speaker 2: York with no driver? Well, we can explain what they
- 45:35Speaker 2: are coming up next. Plus, a chance to see Richard
- 45:38Speaker 2: Marks at 825. Now, I want to talk about Seacrane
- 45:43Speaker 2: right now. The Seacrane Radio 3 is the big radio
- 45:48Speaker 2: to have. That's the main radio you need to have.
- 45:50Speaker 2: There's a whole lot of Seacrane products that you can
- 45:54Speaker 2: use for different things, for going to ballgames. for emergencies
- 45:57Speaker 2: so they don't go out, but this is the almost
- 46:00Speaker 2: everything radio. With the addition of Bluetooth, you now have
- 46:04Speaker 2: this huge palette of radio shows and podcasts available from
- 46:09Speaker 2: any smartphone or speaker. The CC Radio 3 has great
- 46:12Speaker 2: reception for long-range AM FM stations, along with emergency capabilities
- 46:18Speaker 2: like the NOAA weather and the 2-meter ham band. Because
- 46:22Speaker 2: reliable communication, staying connected, Those two things are essential during
- 46:28Speaker 2: unforeseen events. Now, if you listen primarily to voice content,
- 46:32Speaker 2: the CC Radio 3 is arguably worth the price alone.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Audio quality for the spoken word sounds like the host
- 46:39Speaker 2: is sitting right next to you. Separate bass and treble
- 46:43Speaker 2: controls let you customize the sound for Israel or For Israel.
- 46:48Speaker 2: For clear, natural audio. Got Israel on my mind. It
- 46:52Speaker 2: runs on the included power cord or a set of
- 46:55Speaker 2: batteries for over 170 hours. To order the CC Radio 3,
- 46:57Speaker 2: call C-Crane at 800-522-8863. That's C-Crane at 800-522-8863. Once again, 1-800-522-8863.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Or visit them online at C-Crane.com. also available at Amazon.
- 47:19Speaker 14: Saturday night, starting at.
- 47:20Speaker 2: You'll be seeing a really strange-looking, futuristic car, something like
- 47:27Speaker 2: out of a Jetsons, driving around the streets of New
- 47:30Speaker 2: York over the next month or so because it is
- 47:34Speaker 2: Elon Musk's Tesla CyberCab that is going to be riding around. Now,
- 47:40Speaker 2: these CyberCabs are fully autonomous, without a steering wheel, They're
- 47:45Speaker 2: going to be driving, they're testing them now in six
- 47:48Speaker 2: different areas, including New York City. And the idea is
- 47:52Speaker 2: to just at this point get information about how they do.
- 47:57Speaker 2: And if they, you know, they stop on time, if
- 47:59Speaker 2: they don't hit anybody, you know, that kind of stuff.
- 48:02Speaker 2: This is just a complete test. So you don't try
- 48:04Speaker 2: to wave one down because nobody's in there. Nobody's going
- 48:07Speaker 2: to stop. But I don't even think now, Curtis, you
- 48:10Speaker 2: took a look at this thing. Yes.
- 48:12Speaker 1: It doesn't look like a taxi. No, it's all gold plated.
- 48:15Speaker 1: You think, my God, it looks like it could be
- 48:19Speaker 1: a military style SUV that would be fighting in the
- 48:22Speaker 1: Middle East.
- 48:23Speaker 2: I mean.
- 48:24Speaker 1: Well, it's like all Tesla vehicles. They don't look like
- 48:26Speaker 1: a normal vehicle. You know, they look like they're geared
- 48:29Speaker 1: up to be used for other purposes, but no drivers.
- 48:32Speaker 1: So this is like the Waymos I came across when
- 48:35Speaker 1: I spoke at Stanford during the Memorial Day weekend about AI.
- 48:40Speaker 1: And remember, I refused to take the Waymos. They have
- 48:43Speaker 1: only driverless cabs out there by Waymo.
- 48:46Speaker 2: I refused.
- 48:46Speaker 1: I walked to and from the campus. I would not
- 48:49Speaker 1: get into one of those vehicles simply because I don't
- 48:51Speaker 1: want men and women to lose their livelihood as drivers.
- 48:55Speaker 2: You know, I've never gotten into Waymo or any of
- 48:59Speaker 2: these driverless cabs. So you can't wave them down, right?
- 49:03Speaker 2: I think you have to probably use an app.
- 49:05Speaker 3: But that would be cool if you could.
- 49:07Speaker 2: I know, if they could somehow sense that you're waving
- 49:10Speaker 2: them down. Because then people would do it constantly and
- 49:12Speaker 2: not mean it. They'd just wave constantly to screw with it.
- 49:18Speaker 2: But yeah, so anyway, if you see one of these
- 49:20Speaker 2: cars that's exactly what's happening we have a lot of
- 49:22Speaker 2: talkbacks to get to let's get to our first one i.
- 49:25Speaker 18: Think the federal government should take advantage of this uh
- 49:28Speaker 18: danbury police uh you know this new law to sign
- 49:32Speaker 18: up uh illegals to be police officers so when they
- 49:36Speaker 18: have their recruiting periods Get ICE in there, and as
- 49:42Speaker 18: they come in to sign up to be a cop,
- 49:47Speaker 18: our ICE friends can put them in cuffs.
- 49:51Speaker 2: The only problem is, and I'll just make one small correction,
- 49:54Speaker 2: these are people that aren't here illegally. They are non-citizens,
- 50:00Speaker 2: but they didn't come over illegally on the border, or
- 50:02Speaker 2: if they did, they have a visa.
- 50:04Speaker 1: I think, Larry, the U.S. military, if you sign up
- 50:07Speaker 1: and you do a tour... that will earn you an
- 50:11Speaker 1: opportunity to get citizenship for you and your family. I
- 50:14Speaker 1: think that standard still is in effect. I'm not sure.
- 50:17Speaker 1: I'm going to research it after the show. Maybe you'll
- 50:20Speaker 1: have AI research.
- 50:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have it. Mr.
- 50:22Speaker 1: AI.
- 50:23Speaker 2: I'll have it in a couple of minutes.
- 50:26Speaker 8: Yeah, Larry, listening to that juror and the ignorance that
- 50:29Speaker 8: she exhibited about her duties and responsibilities as a juror
- 50:33Speaker 8: is appalling. We've had jury nullification before in other contexts,
- 50:37Speaker 8: racial contexts, other contexts. But when jurors start using the
- 50:40Speaker 8: jury system for political purposes, we're trying to make statements.
- 50:44Speaker 8: We're in real big trouble. And that's exactly what happened here.
- 50:47Speaker 8: It's very sad for those three kids.
- 50:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed like it was a mob of women
- 50:52Speaker 2: that teamed up on the three men and two of
- 50:55Speaker 2: them cowered and one of them didn't.
- 50:57Speaker 1: But that does fit the definition of jury nullification, where
- 51:00Speaker 1: you make up your mind without hearing all the facts.
- 51:03Speaker 2: Right, which is what she basically said when she was interviewed.
- 51:07Speaker 12: All I can say is we need more Curtis Lee
- 51:10Speaker 12: was on the street. Thank you, Curtis, so much. That
- 51:13Speaker 12: was very brave of you, but also be careful.
- 51:17Speaker 2: I will tell you what has been really impressive is
- 51:21Speaker 2: how much Natalie and Curtis have been trying to find
- 51:26Speaker 2: the address and the whereabouts of of the people that
- 51:29Speaker 2: sent the letters so that you can take it back
- 51:32Speaker 2: to them.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that was stolen by the two banditos that I confronted.
- 51:36Speaker 1: And I got the goods of how they do it
- 51:39Speaker 1: with all the glue traps that they then put on
- 51:42Speaker 1: their belts. And they put down the slots of the
- 51:46Speaker 1: blue mailboxes. Do not mail, send any mail in the
- 51:50Speaker 1: blue mailboxes anywhere, wherever you are. You could be in
- 51:53Speaker 1: Leave it to Beaverland. They steal out there too. Just
- 51:56Speaker 1: either bring it to your local post office or give
- 51:58Speaker 1: it to the postal guy or gal who delivers your
- 52:00Speaker 1: mail because he'll take your mail, too.
- 52:02Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News, Daria. Morning, guys.
- 52:06Speaker 15: A few clouds warmer and humid today with a high
- 52:08Speaker 15: of 78 degrees. The Fed will wrap up its latest
- 52:11Speaker 15: policy meeting later today, and it's expected to say something
- 52:14Speaker 15: that we haven't heard from in a while. They're going
- 52:17Speaker 15: to raise interest rates in an effort to slow down inflation.
- 52:20Speaker 15: But analyst Andrew Lippo says if this happens, consumers are
- 52:24Speaker 15: going to feel it.
- 52:25Speaker 6: Bad news for the consumer.
- 52:26Speaker 4: Not only are they paying more for gasoline to fill
- 52:29Speaker 4: up their car, but the auto loan on that car
- 52:33Speaker 4: is now going to be more expensive.
- 52:36Speaker 15: So let's try to look for the good in this.
- 52:37Speaker 15: It might be a good time, experts say, to start
- 52:40Speaker 15: an interest-earning savings account. Police are looking for a woman
- 52:43Speaker 15: in connection with an attempted kidnapping in Brooklyn.
- 52:46Speaker 19: The NYPD has released images of the suspect who approached
- 52:49Speaker 19: a four-year-old boy Monday afternoon in the Crown Heights section
- 52:53Speaker 19: of Brooklyn. Cops say the woman aggressively tried to grab
- 52:56Speaker 19: at the boy in front of a McDonald's and pharmacy
- 52:59Speaker 19: located at 1133 Eastern Parkway around 5 p.m. She failed
- 53:03Speaker 19: to grab him and ran down Utica Avenue. Anyone with
- 53:06Speaker 19: information is being asked to come forward.
- 53:09Speaker 3: Natalie Migliore.
- 53:11Speaker 15: The House has voted down a Democratic-led effort to impeach
- 53:14Speaker 15: President Trump 232 to 147. It was introduced by Texas
- 53:19Speaker 15: Democrat Al Green over what he called the conduct of
- 53:22Speaker 15: ICE agents and border protection. There are now two cases
- 53:25Speaker 15: of Legionnaire's disease and one death in the South Bronx.
- 53:29Speaker 15: I'm sorry, 12 cases.
- 53:30Speaker 2: I stand corrected.
- 53:31Speaker 15: City health officials told a packed town hall last night
- 53:34Speaker 15: that They don't expect the cluster to grow and that
- 53:37Speaker 15: the 10 cooling towers for Legionella bacteria, which causes Legionnaires disease,
- 53:42Speaker 15: including Yankee Stadium, they've all been disinfected. You know what
- 53:46Speaker 15: they say about politics and bedfellows? Well, meet the newest couple,
- 53:49Speaker 15: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Trump administration official Steve Bannon.
- 53:53Speaker 15: They will appear together today at the Pro-Human Assembly in D.C.
- 53:56Speaker 15: to call for restrictions on artificial intelligence. The Yankees beat
- 54:00Speaker 15: Minnesota and the Mets fell to Baltimore. Next news, 8 o'clock,
- 54:05Speaker 15: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Up next, right on time, our tech guy Rich DeMuro
- 54:14Speaker 1: about everything dealing with artificial intelligence because it's dominating the
- 54:20Speaker 1: news cycle. Whether you happen to be pro, con, or
- 54:24Speaker 1: you haven't quite figured out where you stand on the issue.

- 55:07Speaker 1: the whole world is talking about AI and the many
- 55:12Speaker 1: ancillary subjects that affect artificial intelligence. Yesterday, Rich DeMuro, Rich
- 55:18Speaker 1: on Tech, which is heard Sunday nights from 8 to 11,
- 55:22Speaker 1: right here on 710WOR. Conference in San Francisco. You had
- 55:28Speaker 1: the CEO of Anthropic and the CEO of OpenAI on
- 55:33Speaker 1: one side of the stage saying, hey, we got to
- 55:35Speaker 1: put the brakes on this thing. It's starting to get
- 55:37Speaker 1: out of control. But the guy who provides almost all
- 55:40Speaker 1: the chips from the video, the CEO, Jensen Wang, taking
- 55:45Speaker 1: the Trump attitude, no, no, no, no, full speed ahead,
- 55:48Speaker 1: no guardrails, no government interference. It's very, very confusing for everyone.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Can you help us sort this out? What are the pros?
- 55:59Speaker 1: What are the cons? So that maybe some of our
- 56:01Speaker 1: listeners can come to their own conclusions.
- 56:04Speaker 2: I mean, I agree.
- 56:05Speaker 20: This is, and I'm sure at that conference in San Francisco,
- 56:08Speaker 20: it is a hot topic. Everyone has a take on this,
- 56:11Speaker 20: whether you work at one of these AI companies or
- 56:13Speaker 20: whether you're a consumer. And, you know, when you throw
- 56:16Speaker 20: around things like AI is going to eliminate humanity, that's
- 56:20Speaker 20: a big claim. And we don't know if that's possible
- 56:23Speaker 20: or how that would happen or if that could happen.
- 56:26Speaker 20: But we do know one thing, AI is advancing. It
- 56:29Speaker 20: is unlike anything that we've ever had, I think, that
- 56:33Speaker 20: I've ever seen as a tech tool in my lifetime.
- 56:36Speaker 20: And I think that it is advancing at such a
- 56:38Speaker 20: rapid clip. And the thing is, this is what we
- 56:40Speaker 20: don't know. We don't know what happens to these systems
- 56:43Speaker 20: when they are left to do what they want to do.
- 56:47Speaker 20: And so there's one term I think that people should understand,
- 56:49Speaker 20: and it's alignment. This is the idea of that AI
- 56:53Speaker 20: is on our side, right? On the side of humanity.
- 56:56Speaker 2: But guess what?
- 56:57Speaker 20: There are always bad people out there. There are always
- 56:59Speaker 20: people that are going to program this stuff to not
- 57:01Speaker 20: be aligned with us. And we don't know if AI
- 57:05Speaker 20: will continue to stay aligned with our values. And by
- 57:09Speaker 20: the way, lots of us have different values. So what
- 57:11Speaker 20: are those values exactly? So I understand that the CEOs
- 57:15Speaker 20: of these companies that want to get this debate out
- 57:18Speaker 20: in the open are I also think there's a lot
- 57:20Speaker 20: of money at stake, obviously, on the side of NVIDIA.
- 57:23Speaker 20: They have invested a lot in this. They stand to
- 57:25Speaker 20: make a lot of money based on all the investment
- 57:27Speaker 20: in AI. And these companies, OpenAI and Anthropic, are already well-established.
- 57:33Speaker 20: So any regulations may continue to help them thrive versus
- 57:37Speaker 20: a startup. But the bottom line, I think, Larry and Curtis,
- 57:40Speaker 20: is that there are many players in this industry, not
- 57:44Speaker 20: just here in the U.S., not just these big companies
- 57:46Speaker 20: we're talking about. There are so many different sides to
- 57:49Speaker 20: this entire situation.
- 57:51Speaker 2: There was a couple other things they kept mentioning at
- 57:54Speaker 2: the conference, and it was the first time I heard it.
- 57:57Speaker 2: They kept saying every once in a while it left containment.
- 58:01Speaker 2: We have 18 cases of it leaving containment. And I
- 58:05Speaker 2: kept wondering, what the heck does that mean? And I
- 58:07Speaker 2: did some digging, and all it means is that it
- 58:10Speaker 2: was autonomous. It went out on its own. It was
- 58:13Speaker 2: thinking on its own, and it did something. That's a
- 58:16Speaker 2: little frightening.
- 58:17Speaker 20: It is, and it's one of these things where, you know,
- 58:20Speaker 20: if you use OpenAI, if you use, you know, ChatGPT
- 58:22Speaker 20: on your computer, there's this idea that it can take
- 58:25Speaker 20: over your computer, right? It can actually do things. We
- 58:27Speaker 20: call this agentic AI, and smartphones are getting the same
- 58:30Speaker 20: way where your phone can actually take action. And a
- 58:34Speaker 20: simple example is if you wanted to call an Uber,
- 58:36Speaker 20: you would just tell your AI, hey, I need a
- 58:39Speaker 20: ride to the airport, and it would grab you that
- 58:42Speaker 20: ride in the background and And then it would just say, okay,
- 58:44Speaker 20: I found you your top three options. Which one do
- 58:47Speaker 20: you want me to book? Now, that's a simple, easy
- 58:50Speaker 20: use of AI autonomously. But when you think about all
- 58:54Speaker 20: the things that people may program AI to do, hey,
- 58:57Speaker 20: go out and find that nuclear reactor and see if
- 59:00Speaker 20: there's any issues in their programming that we can exploit. Now,
- 59:04Speaker 20: and this thing is like a pit bull, right? It
- 59:06Speaker 20: goes out there and it just figures out any way
- 59:09Speaker 20: it can. to get into that system. And that's the
- 59:12Speaker 20: scary part.
- 59:13Speaker 1: One last question on this, Rich, before we move on
- 59:15Speaker 1: to other issues involving the tech world, they have this
- 59:19Speaker 1: one level they call super intelligence. I'm assuming that means
- 59:23Speaker 1: even if Einstein was sitting there, that form of AI
- 59:28Speaker 1: could out-battle intellectually anything that Einstein laid on the table.
- 59:32Speaker 1: What is the difference when they say, well, there's superintelligence?
- 59:38Speaker 20: Well, I think superintelligence refers to beyond the capacity of
- 59:42Speaker 20: humans to understand it. I think that's really what it
- 59:45Speaker 20: comes down to. Right now, when you think about it,
- 59:47Speaker 20: if you use AI, you're sitting there and some of
- 59:49Speaker 20: the things it does, you're like, oh, that's pretty good.
- 59:51Speaker 20: But I understand that. I can do better. But when
- 59:54Speaker 20: we get AI that is smarter than any human anywhere...
- 59:58Speaker 20: And by the way, we already have kind of access
- 1:00:00Speaker 20: to this. If you think about AI as an extension
- 1:00:02Speaker 20: of your brain, we don't know all the answers instantly
- 1:00:06Speaker 20: about everything. There may be experts in fields that know
- 1:00:09Speaker 20: very specific things. But when you think about AI, it's
- 1:00:11Speaker 20: been programmed to know almost everything about everything in the world.
- 1:00:15Speaker 20: And that's really super intelligence when you think about it.
- 1:00:18Speaker 20: And right now, it's just locked into these chatbots.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: But in the future.
- 1:00:21Speaker 20: That may be walking around in some sort of robot
- 1:00:24Speaker 20: that understands everything, not just in the world, but around
- 1:00:28Speaker 20: it as well. And it just kind of blows your
- 1:00:32Speaker 20: mind when you start thinking about all of the implications
- 1:00:34Speaker 20: of this.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: Let's get away from the scary stuff for one moment
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: and get to the fun stuff. I understand that you
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: have been able to handle one of Apple's iPhones that
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: are foldable. What was the experience like? Oh my gosh.
- 1:00:49Speaker 20: I mean, I've, I've used a lot of foldable phones
- 1:00:51Speaker 20: over the past seven years back to the very first
- 1:00:53Speaker 20: one that Samsung had. And I think it was 2019. Um,
- 1:00:57Speaker 20: this is the iPhone duo. It's basically a small passport
- 1:01:01Speaker 20: style screen outside. It opens up to a big screen
- 1:01:04Speaker 20: inside almost eight inches. So it's almost like a mini
- 1:01:06Speaker 20: iPad in your pocket. It's expensive $ 2, 000. Um, but Apple
- 1:01:11Speaker 20: really addressed many of the concerns I've had with foldables,
- 1:01:15Speaker 20: which is the software is usually terrible. Um, Apple made
- 1:01:19Speaker 20: it great. The apps usually don't take advantage of this
- 1:01:22Speaker 20: big screen and larger form factor. Of course, app developers
- 1:01:25Speaker 20: are very excited to make their apps look great on this.
- 1:01:29Speaker 20: And they didn't have MagSafe. They weren't very durable. And
- 1:01:32Speaker 20: they didn't have, you know, stylus support. Apple has given
- 1:01:35Speaker 20: this thing all of those. So pre-orders start in October.
- 1:01:39Speaker 20: This thing will be in Apple stores on October 23rd.
- 1:01:42Speaker 20: I believe it will sell out. I think if you travel...
- 1:01:45Speaker 20: If you like having two apps open side by side
- 1:01:48Speaker 20: or you just want the latest, coolest, greatest thing from Apple,
- 1:01:51Speaker 20: you'll love it. Camera's not going to be as good
- 1:01:53Speaker 20: as the Pro models, that's for sure.
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: I do appreciate that.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Thank you, Rich.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: A very momentous occasion, and you brought a lot of
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: clarity to this AI subject. It still has people wondering,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: which way do we go? Do we go any way?
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you, thank you again, Rich, again.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: You can hear Rich Sunday nights right here on the
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: biggest talk radio station in the nation, WOR710, 8 to 11.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: And you can just go to at Rich on tech
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: on Instagram if you want to continue the conversation with Rich.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Well, the Carnegie Deli has officially reopened. And guess who
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: was there? Natalie Migliore. That's where she did her beat
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: on the street. It is up next.
- 1:02:44Speaker 7: It's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Well, so you returned to the final Sour Garlic Pickle
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Championship that I earned outside of the old Carnegie Valley
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: for its grand reopening. What was it like, Natalie?
- 1:03:04Speaker 19: Pretty magnificent in a way of the idea of bringing
- 1:03:08Speaker 19: old New York back to life. new in a sense,
- 1:03:12Speaker 19: recreating really the original, uh, deli in a sense. They
- 1:03:16Speaker 19: have the wall of fame pictures all over of famous
- 1:03:21Speaker 19: people and celebrities who have graced the iconic deli just a.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: Few steps away from where it originally, uh, started.
- 1:03:31Speaker 19: Now, after nearly a decade of only sending out products
- 1:03:35Speaker 19: via e-commerce, uh, That's how they were doing it. They
- 1:03:38Speaker 19: were selling stuff online with other things and putting their
- 1:03:41Speaker 19: items in stands at sporting arenas like MSG or at
- 1:03:45Speaker 19: the U.S.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Open.
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: When I was at the U.S. Open, I saw the
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Carnegie Deli there.
- 1:03:49Speaker 19: They've finally got a permanent place in New York to
- 1:03:52Speaker 19: call home, just steps away from the old one. Now,
- 1:03:56Speaker 19: Carnegie CEO Sari Hunter, who is the granddaughter of the
- 1:03:59Speaker 19: original owner, says Carnegie's return is really a credit to
- 1:04:04Speaker 19: one thing.
- 1:04:05Speaker 9: Just all the emails, all the DMs, all the people
- 1:04:10Speaker 9: just say, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back.
- 1:04:13Speaker 9: That's really what it was, the fans. It feels great.
- 1:04:16Speaker 9: It's really exciting. I'm so happy. Like all these people,
- 1:04:20Speaker 9: making them happy, making them smile. The iconic New York
- 1:04:24Speaker 9: foods in Midtown. You need your cheesecake, you need your
- 1:04:27Speaker 9: pastrami in Midtown.
- 1:04:28Speaker 12: And we're here.
- 1:04:30Speaker 19: Okay, so we're dozens of people steadily lining up to
- 1:04:33Speaker 19: get a table in the eatery that has about 110 seats.
- 1:04:37Speaker 19: The sandwiches are huge, a testament to what patrons remember
- 1:04:42Speaker 19: standing in line with.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: A pastrami sandwich.
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: Sandwich?
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Sandwich? Running? A sandwich.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: A sandwich. But we're talking pastrami, so there's no mozzarella
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: in it.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: What do you say, sandwich?
- 1:04:58Speaker 12: Sandwich.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Sandwich.
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: There's a D.
- 1:05:00Speaker 20: Sandwich.
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: I don't want any sandwich.
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: Sandwich.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: I don't want any sand in my witch.
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: Anyway.
- 1:05:08Speaker 19: It'll run you about $ 29, you know, tax and tip
- 1:05:12Speaker 19: if you're sitting down and stuff. So Michael was actually
- 1:05:14Speaker 19: an actor on the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel set when Carnegie
- 1:05:19Speaker 19: Deli did a pop-up in Soho eight years ago.
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: He never had it before that day, but he.
- 1:05:25Speaker 19: Tells me he's been thinking about what he had that
- 1:05:28Speaker 19: day nearly a decade ago, and he had a return
- 1:05:32Speaker 19: for more.
- 1:05:32Speaker 11: So when I heard they were reopening, I'm like, wow,
- 1:05:35Speaker 11: just to have that cheesecake again.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: And all those sandwiches, and they've never missed a step.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: I love this place.
- 1:05:40Speaker 21: I grew up in New York.
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: I live in North Carolina now. I thought, that's where
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: I'm going.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: We have to, I have to have for Stormy and I. Okay, well,
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: I've been to a Connie's Owl before. You saw it
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: there 50 years ago.
- 1:05:50Speaker 11: I happen to be in town in his.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Opening, so I knew Sidola knew it.
- 1:05:53Speaker 11: They had a place in Las Vegas. We were at
- 1:05:55Speaker 11: the Waddington Mirage. I've been coming here for like 40 years.
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: How does it taste compared to 10 years ago?
- 1:06:01Speaker 11: Spot on, spot on.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: It's delicious.
- 1:06:04Speaker 11: We would have it flown in. They sourced the ship
- 1:06:07Speaker 11: and get out.
- 1:06:08Speaker 19: And I think I've saved the best for last because
- 1:06:11Speaker 19: that gentleman... Marty from Pittsburgh, who's probably made headlines since
- 1:06:15Speaker 19: he was the first person there yesterday. Literally, that's what
- 1:06:19Speaker 19: they call him because he used to go four times
- 1:06:22Speaker 19: a year to the Carnegie Deli from Pittsburgh, was the
- 1:06:28Speaker 19: first one there, won a lotto, was going to get
- 1:06:31Speaker 19: his picture on the Hall of Fame, brought his family
- 1:06:34Speaker 19: with him.
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: But I had to ask him, how does a guy
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh.
- 1:06:40Speaker 19: Find a place in the heart of New York City.
- 1:06:43Speaker 11: I work for a company. The Javits Center has just opened,
- 1:06:47Speaker 11: and the guy that brought me up here was training
- 1:06:49Speaker 11: me to be a buyer. When we were done working,
- 1:06:51Speaker 11: he said, I'm going to take you to the Mecca
- 1:06:53Speaker 11: of Jewish delis. And we went in the place up
- 1:06:56Speaker 11: the street, and it was amazing. I had the muscle
- 1:07:00Speaker 11: ball soup and the corned beef that day, and just
- 1:07:02Speaker 11: kept on coming here ever since.
- 1:07:05Speaker 7: Now, Larry.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: You got to come with us for the reopening, and
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: I want you to order in your classic way, pastrami
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: on rye with mayonnaise.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: With mayonnaise?
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: Is that controversial?
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: I'm not going to have mayonnaise on pastrami. Yeah, but
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: you did when you went to the original. No, I
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: had roast beef. Roast beef. With mayonnaise. With mayonnaise.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: I don't know, Mike.
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: I was in there yesterday.
- 1:07:29Speaker 19: Okay, with the sandwiches, our huge people are taking them home,
- 1:07:36Speaker 19: like half a sandwich home.
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: I just, I can't wait.
- 1:07:40Speaker 19: For a knish my dad always says knish is the
- 1:07:43Speaker 19: dish and I'm just so excited for a knish so.
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: That's like what we have to get I'm all there.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: As I told you when I won my last garlic
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: sour garlic eating pickle championship he's still living.
- 1:07:56Speaker 17: Off of that now everybody I'd like to remind you
- 1:07:59Speaker 17: it closed 10 years ago so now we're going to
- 1:08:01Speaker 17: have to hold another.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: Contest there's an addition here is there a plaque we can.
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: Put on it We need to get him plaques for
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: these things.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda, the Dodger manager, should be up there in
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: the Wall of Fame. His family was there the day
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: I won. You know who's playing Tommy Lasorda in the movie?
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Who's that?
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: Robert De Niro. They just announced it.
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: He's probably up on that wall, too. We're going to.
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: Make you walk around.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Am I on the wall?
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: If not, we're going to get you on it.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Oh, don't make a promise. Don't make a promise. Oh,
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: you'll be on Dancing with the Stars. Don't make a promise.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: You just made the biggest mistake. That was a big,
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: big mistake.
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: I'm going to push the envelope.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: That's going to haunt you. A lot of things haunt me.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: All the years that he is alive, he's going to
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: come after you. A lot of things haunt me. He's
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: going to show up at your wedding and say.
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: You promised.
- 1:08:49Speaker 19: He haunts me for a lot of things, though, so
- 1:08:51Speaker 19: it's fine. Giving me a tough time all the time.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: I'll be checking every day on my way home to
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: see if I'm up on the wall of a fan. Oh, no,
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: you're right. But anyway.
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: He's going to be back tomorrow. Well, the Salesforce Dreamforce
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: conference in San Francisco with all of the top leaders
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: of AI was yesterday. And stealing the show for the
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: most part was CEO Sam Altman because he said some
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: really frightening things. He said that the world has the
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: right to be afraid of AI companies gaining too much
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: power and undue economic influence, which was a fascinating statement
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: because he's not saying in particular that AI is the problem,
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: but the companies that run AI. and the power that
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: they will then have over everybody, which is really fascinating
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: because it's the very first time I've heard that. I
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: heard everybody talking about the mechanism of AI, not the
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: people that run AI. And that, to me, what he
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: said is a little bit scarier than what everybody else
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: has been talking about because I think that there's a
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: lot of fear with AI because it is the unknown.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: And that it will unleash itself somehow. It will break containment,
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: as they kept saying. But that being said, Curtis, I'm
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: not sure Sam Altman, who is the CEO of OpenAI,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: is the best spokesperson for AI. Just because of the
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: way he sounds. Tell me if this doesn't sound familiar.
- 1:10:36Speaker 10: The world should trust that we are going to do
- 1:10:38Speaker 10: the right thing. Because it's the right thing and because
- 1:10:41Speaker 10: we feel the magnitude of this.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: When have you heard that voice before?
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: Boy, it's creepy.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: It's Hal from 2001. That's who that is.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Well, first of all, understand the lineage of
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Sam Altman. He's a creepy guy. Obviously very successful. Put
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: into business by Peter Thiel, best friend of Donald Trump.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: strong Republican who's now gone to Argentina with his family.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Because remember, in his way, he's thinking there's going to
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: be some kind of anti-Christ return. These are all eccentric people.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: They're very successful. But when you're successful, you're eccentric. And
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: he was a Democrat, big Democrat. But then he came
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: over to the Trump side. So but he's been putting
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: this out there, you know, this fear, this fright, this hysteria.
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Have you heard that before, though, that they say It's
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: not the fear of the tool. It's the fear of
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: the people who will be wielding the tool. Yes.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: No, he never got that specific.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: That was incredible. And that makes sense.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: So the anthropic guy was there who has been joining
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: him in a chorus line because they're way ahead of
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: the race with AI in America. And they don't want
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: the competition. The one I want to hear from, because
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: he's really not way up there with AI, is Elon Musk,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: who signed on to everything they said. And we know
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: he's a Trumper. He's pouring his money into this midterms,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: $ 100 million to get out to vote. He's been quiet,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: but he signed on to what they had written over
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: the weekend about the possible dangers of AI and why
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: it has to be reined in. Yesterday, who was up
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: on the Hill? I mean, you talk about us, the
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: odd couple. Is this not the odd couple? Bernie, the
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Alta Cocker Sanders, leading of the Socialists of America. standing
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: with Steve Bannon, you know, who's like the far, far,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: far right, standing together in opposition of AI in Washington, D.C.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have one thing in common that I
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: saw when they spoke from the stage. They're both crazy.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: They look crazy. They're at either ends of the spectrum,
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: but man, were they saying some outlandish stuff. That's why
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: nobody's really covering them today, because all they were doing
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: was fear-mongering. You've been talking about for a while, and
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: it's a fascinating point. I think you're the first person
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: I heard say this, that some of the people that
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: want restraints now put on AI are way out in front.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Yeah, in the race, nobody has come close. You can't
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: even see their backsides. Like if this were a horse race,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: they're almost lapping the rest of the competition in America.
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: So in the middle of a race, being in first,
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: being able to say, oh, now we need rules. We
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: need rules that's just going to benefit them. And the
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: guy that you keep talking about that you have been
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: listening to on AI, J.D. Vance, is also suspicious.
- 1:13:37Speaker 20: The fact that you have so many frontier AI tech
- 1:13:40Speaker 20: companies kind of coming to the government and begging the
- 1:13:43Speaker 20: government to regulate.
- 1:13:44Speaker 10: Them, it feels a little bit to me like a
- 1:13:46Speaker 10: bit of a Trojan horse.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: So Trump, who's taking the lead on this and saying, no, no, no.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: No guardrails. We're in a race with Red China. They're
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: not operating with guardrails. And he's got the meeting with
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: Xi coming up in almost a week. You know, that's
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: going to be a prime part of their discussion when
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Xi from Red China comes to the White House. He
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: has allied himself with Wang, who makes all the chips.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: Not the potato chips, but those super chips. Wang is
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: the one saying, no guardrails, no rules, no regulations, charge forward.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: And he was there yesterday in San Francisco. So I'm saying,
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: this is not Donald Trump's ballywick. He knows about as
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: much about this as I do, as you do, Larry,
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: as others do. He's on the periphery.
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: J.D.
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: Vance grew up in Silicon Valley from being the hillbilly, remember?
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: He goes to Silicon Valley. He meets Peter Thiel, who
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: bankrolls all these guys. He works with Peter Thiel. Peter
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: Thiel mentors him. He was introduced to all of them.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: So he knows their eccentricities. He knows their language. So
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: right away he said, look, I'm telling you that there's
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: a race here and they're so far ahead, they want
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: everyone to pump the brakes because they're so far ahead. But,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: and I like what he said, and I think the
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: president would be wise at this point, to just delegate
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: him to deal with all of these different personalities. He
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: must have done that because he gave an interview to
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: the New York Post, J.D. Vance, our vice president on
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Air Force Two, exclusively to the Post. You know he
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: had to clear that through the chief of staff at
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: the White House with the permission of Trump, in which
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: he said, look, just as you said, I'm skeptical of
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: companies coming to us wanting the government to regulate them.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: No companies have ever said that before. But I understand
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: how Americans view this as possibly the movie, the Terminator,
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: you know, where, oh, we're going to get wiped out
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: by these AI robots. He said, I can assure you
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: that part is not going to happen. But what I
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: do want to address with all of these individuals is
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: how this will foster greater economic inequality. That's something the
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: Democrats would say. That's not a Republican ethos. That sort
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: of goes back to hillbilly allergy. And also I am
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: concerned as Americans are of surveillance technology, which brings that
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: whole flock camera issue and surveillance into it. So I
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: think he's better balanced. He also said, look, these companies
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: want to shield themselves from antitrust laws, which were brought
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: together by Theodore Roosevelt to break the monopolies. They want
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: a monopoly. It's clear they want a monopoly.
- 1:16:32Speaker 6: Right.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: So I say, you know, Mr. President, you got to
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: meet with Xi. That's a big thing on your plate.
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: And then you got to go on the road for
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: all these candidates. You're not going to have a lot
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: of time to deal with this. Delegate it to him.
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: He wasn't a good negotiator in Pakistan with Iran. Foreign
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: relations is not his expertise. That should have been Marco Rubio.
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: Have you met Donald Trump?
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: Have I met him?
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: He's not going to say, you go ahead and handle
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: the campaigning. It's just not going to happen.
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: Not the campaigning, but meeting with the CEOs.
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were saying going out and go.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: No, Trump does that best. But he's going to be
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: so involved in that because he said there's upwards of
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: 38 candidates who need him, both in the Senate races
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: and the House races. And as you pointed out earlier,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: before we even started the program, A lot of the
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Republicans on this issue of AI and AI data filing
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: centers are beginning to distance themselves from the president of
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: the United States because they feel this might be one
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: of the defining issues that caused them to lose.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not just on this issue. They're now
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: also voted for the War Powers Act. Seven of them
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: crossed over to vote for the War Powers Act. I
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: think that what you're seeing right now, and it has
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: nothing to do with AI, and I don't think it
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: has anything to do with the Iran war. It has
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: to do with all of these Republicans in purple districts
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: where they're behind in the polls, and they have to
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: show that they're willing to stand up to Donald Trump.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: This is all about the political environment. It is not
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: about any issue specifically.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Remember, there was a fundraiser last Thursday here in New York.
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: Barack Obama was hosting it. He had Hakeem Jeffries, all
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: the prime Democrats, moderate Democrats. He said, if I was
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: running for reelection in 2028, my issue would be AI.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: So basically, that's like marching orders. From the guy who
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: is the titular head now, because there is no head
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't need those orders from him. Let me
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: just tell you what Speaker Johnson said. Speaker Johnson said,
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: I'm surprised to come to Capitol Hill, come back to
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, and hear all these Democrats now talking about AI.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: They've talked more about AI in the last week than
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: they had in the last 10 years. All of a sudden,
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: they've decided, uh-oh, now we have an issue. They keep
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: switching issues week by week. I'm trying to figure out
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: what it's going to be next week. Last week, it
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: was Flock. The week before that, it was the data centers.
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: I'm hoping... I'm hoping they're all over the place like this.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: But in reality, comparing Johnson to Barack Obama as somebody
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: who is the titular head of the Democrats because they
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: don't really have a leader of the party now. Nobody
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: listens to Schumer. Nobody listens to Hakeem Jeffries because they
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: know they're vulnerable to potentially lose their own races. He
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: speaks with authority to them.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: He does. Ride AI to victory. For the House Democrats,
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: Johnson speaks with the most authority because he tomorrow can say, hey,
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: we're all going home today. So, you know, he he
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: does have an amazing amount of authority there, as would
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: any speaker of the House. You mean for the Republicans
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: in the House, not the Democrats? The entire House, because
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: he he sets the schedule. I mean, he has power
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: over them as well. Yeah, he has immense power. Hey,
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars started last night. I wanted to
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: say those words to you to see how you would react.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: Oh, and did I get served wolf tickets by our
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: own producer, Natalie, and including our FM sisters in solidarity
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: from Z100, Elvis Duran, Diamond, and Gandhi. All three of
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: them professed, we will get you on Dancing with the
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: Stars for the 35th season, which debuted last night. And
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: guess what? I wasn't even invited to try out. Well, Natalie,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to defend yourself up next, plus
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: a chance to see Richard Marks next. Anyway, Alicia Keys
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: and friends are joining the 2026 Global Citizens Festival lineup.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: They joined previously announced performers, Ms. Lauren Hill and Wyclef Jean.
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Laney Wilson, and many others with
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman hosting. That's Saturday, September 26th on the Great
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: Lawn in Central Park. Tickets are free and can be
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: earned by taking action. Download the Global Citizen app for
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: more information. Marana Mai. What a bunch of kakarans, female Pinocchios. First,
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: our own Natalie. Producer here since the very first gambling
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: was broadcasting at WOR.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: Yes, in 1922.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: And there I am on the I Heart Float. Gay
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: Pride stole the parade with my dancing from beginning to end.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Everyone acknowledged that. Natalie then says, oh... I'm going to
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: get you on Dancing with the Stars. And then like
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: a roller derby match, the two other gals from Z100,
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: Elvis Duran, Gandhi, and Diamond said, no, no, no, no.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: We'll get you on Dancing with the Stars. Well, let's
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: look at last night's debut of season number 35. No, Curtis,
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: no attempt by any of you to get me into
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: that lineup, a lineup I can't even pronounce the names
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: of the people participating. Exactly.
- 1:22:07Speaker 5: I do apologize because I did find out about your
- 1:22:10Speaker 5: dancing ability at the Pride Parade this year, which was
- 1:22:14Speaker 5: in June. I will say that they started teasing the
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: contestants in April.
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: So this season was already packed up.
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: So we got to work on next season.
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: Can I promise getting you on?
- 1:22:25Speaker 5: No, but I do promise I am going to reach
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: out and I'm going to try to get somebody to
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: consider auditioning.
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: You should consider getting into politics because you sound like
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: a politician.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: Because I've been working in talk radio my entire life.
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: So I'm good at this. I've been working with a
- 1:22:40Speaker 5: lot of politicians.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: You sold me wolf tickets.
- 1:22:42Speaker 11: I know, I know.
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: But I also want to say, I'm sorry, Larry, but
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: I am also preserving your marriage.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: What do you mean?
- 1:22:51Speaker 5: Because you would be doing the waltz, the foxtrot, the tango,
- 1:22:56Speaker 5: the quick step with probably some of the hottest women
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: in the world. And I know, you know, Nancy being
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: a wife, I don't know. Would she be able to
- 1:23:05Speaker 5: handle that?
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: Oh, that's the worst excuse in the world.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: No. If you notice on the entire gay pride, I
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: did not dance with any of the women or men,
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: by the way, on the floor.
- 1:23:15Speaker 16: I don't know.
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: You're pretty close to some of the men out there.
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: But no, you're right.
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: It's something.
- 1:23:20Speaker 5: Those women are something.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: That's a problem. I only dance with Nancy.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: Oh, is that right? That is correct.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: Even if you're on Dancing with the Stars? That's going
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: to be a problem. I hadn't thought of that. All right.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: That's my promise to Nancy. I will only dance with her.
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: Oh, that's a beautiful promise, actually. It's amazing as I'm
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: looking at the cast here. I can't believe they didn't
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: pick you because I don't know any of these people.
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: I mean, Ezra Frech?
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: Huh?
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: Who's Ezra Frech?
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: Well.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Who's that? Jackson Olsen? What? I don't know.
- 1:23:51Speaker 5: Well, the guy who was kicked off last night, Connor Leavitt,
- 1:23:55Speaker 5: he was from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: I know. It's going to be all like B-list cable stars.
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: But I will tell you, I only saw a little
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: bit of it last night because it was from 8
- 1:24:06Speaker 5: to 10, crazy long. The guy from the Savannah Bananas,
- 1:24:09Speaker 5: you know, the baseball team?
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: Yeah, they're great.
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: He was awesome.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:24:13Speaker 7: No, no, no.
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: They're great. They put on a great performance.
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: Not exactly an A-list star, though.
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: He will be now.
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: Watch his social media blow up.
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: Let's get to some talkbacks. Well, first we're going to
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: talk about opening acts because we talk about Macklemore opening
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: for Ed Sheeran.
- 1:24:30Speaker 14: Sometimes people do go see the opening act. I saw
- 1:24:34Speaker 14: Billy Joel at the Capitol Theater in Passaic.
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: I can't even remember who he.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: Was opening for.
- 1:24:39Speaker 14: We left.
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: So sometimes it is the opening act that's appealing.
- 1:24:42Speaker 14: But I agree with you. I think the concert will
- 1:24:45Speaker 14: go on.
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: Yeah, with young upcoming stars, you're right. Many times they
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: become hotter than the main act. But Macklemore is kind
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: of on the way down. I mean, he had a
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: rise and he was big for a while.
- 1:25:00Speaker 4: Macklemore and these others for Palestine are such fakers. Where
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: have they been for years when this was going on?
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: And then from the safety of a stage at.
- 1:25:10Speaker 14: A concert, oh, I have a lot of support.
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: Okay, great, fly over there, do concerts over there. Sit
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: there with him. They've never been there. They've never supported him.
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: It's a way to make his name big. That's all
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: it is, a publicity stunt. Now we're talking about Macklemore.
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: No one was before.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: Well, number one, you can't fly over there and do
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: a concert. You have to go through Israel. Number two,
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: they've been consistent with this. It's just they never had
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: the venue that they had with, obviously, Ed Sheeran leading
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: the bill. Anyway, let's get the news with Daria.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
- 1:25:44Speaker 15: Few clouds warmer and humid today. High 78 degrees. Don't
- 1:25:47Speaker 15: mean nothing when it comes to inflation. We're going to
- 1:25:49Speaker 15: have to see what the Fed says today. It is
- 1:25:51Speaker 15: expected to make an announcement that we haven't heard in
- 1:25:54Speaker 15: three years that it's going to raise interest rates.
- 1:25:57Speaker 22: President Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve for years
- 1:26:01Speaker 22: to lower interest rates. Now the president's appointment. Kevin Warsh
- 1:26:05Speaker 22: is at the helm of the Fed. He and his
- 1:26:07Speaker 22: team will have to make this pivotal decision today, and
- 1:26:10Speaker 22: the markets are anticipating an interest rate hike. That would
- 1:26:14Speaker 22: make borrowing more expensive, but it would hopefully put pressure
- 1:26:18Speaker 22: on many of those consumer prices.
- 1:26:20Speaker 15: ABC's Rebecca Jarvis. Police say a son may have led
- 1:26:23Speaker 15: them to his mother's killer. The man drove to Maria
- 1:26:26Speaker 15: Ines Granda's Brooklyn apartment after he hadn't heard from her
- 1:26:29Speaker 15: in a few days, and then he found her body inside.
- 1:26:31Speaker 15: He called police and stayed on the scene until they
- 1:26:34Speaker 15: got there, and Granda's husband, Mauricio, showed up. Granda's now
- 1:26:39Speaker 15: charged with murder. Well, it's still officially summer, feeling a
- 1:26:44Speaker 15: little more like fall, but the city's already looking for
- 1:26:46Speaker 15: some winter temp workers, and they're going to pay more
- 1:26:49Speaker 15: this year.
- 1:26:50Speaker 21: Mayor Mamdani and Sanitation Commissioner Gregory Anderson have launched a modernized,
- 1:26:54Speaker 21: streamlined process for emergency snow shovelers. There's early registration, a
- 1:26:59Speaker 21: paid December orientation, and a pay increase to $ 30 an hour.
- 1:27:03Speaker 21: That's up from just over $ 19. Last winter, more than
- 1:27:06Speaker 21: 7,800 New Yorkers stepped up amid bad weather and freezing temperatures.
- 1:27:11Speaker 21: Candidates need to be at least 18 years old and
- 1:27:13Speaker 21: legally authorized to work in the U.S. The first snow
- 1:27:16Speaker 21: shoveler registration event is September 19th at Taft High School
- 1:27:20Speaker 21: in the Bronx. Liz Warner, WOR News.
- 1:27:23Speaker 15: First, President Trump renamed Lake Ontario, Lake America. That was
- 1:27:27Speaker 15: actually after he renamed the Gulf of Mexico.
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: Gulf of America.
- 1:27:30Speaker 15: Well, now the city council in Cleveland says it's going
- 1:27:33Speaker 15: to give part of Lake Erie a new moniker. It's
- 1:27:35Speaker 15: voted to call the area from the city's shoreline out
- 1:27:39Speaker 15: to two miles into the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Cleveland.
- 1:27:42Speaker 15: Members say they don't want to feel left out. Yankees
- 1:27:45Speaker 15: beat Minnesota. Mets fall to Baltimore. Next news, 9 o'clock,
- 1:27:48Speaker 15: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.

- 1:29:18Speaker 2: Congress was must-see TV yesterday. Oh, man, it is so good.
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: when there's a congressional hearing, when there's an election coming up,
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: when a midterm election's coming up, because everyone is trying
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: to have their viral moment. They're not getting anything done.
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: There's really no oversight. It is just about the act.
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: It's about being the one that you hit when you're
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: scrolling down on YouTube or you're scrolling down on Instagram
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: or it gets posted on Facebook. That's all this is.
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: And so let's start with a couple of them. How
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: about one of our favorite people, of course, is Cory Booker, Spartacus,
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: who is so good at trying to get the cameras
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: to capture everything he says. And he was talking to
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Kash Patel. And the chair is Senator Chuck Grassley, who is,
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: I don't know how old, 92 at this point, 92.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: And I've never really seen him get that angry. But
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: Cory Booker was insufferable. He kept going after Patel and
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: his time was way up and he went after his
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: time because he said he was being interrupted. And Chuck
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: Grassley finally had to put him in his place. This
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: is ridiculous. What a mockery you are.
- 1:30:44Speaker 6: You are the biggest mockery in the United States Senate,
- 1:30:46Speaker 6: and you're sitting next to Schiff.
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: Yeah, well, 8 million people in New Jersey don't think so.
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: At least I didn't get my job the way you
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: got your job.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: Are you going to interfere with Senator Graham asking her
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: questions too?
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: I certainly will not. Too, as well? I certainly will not.
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: Are you done now? I am done. Are you ready
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: to shut up?
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: Thank God. You know, Cory Booker with his eyeballs bugging
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: out of his skull. Man, what drug is Cory Booker on?
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: He is so sad. You know, and I like him.
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: I've met him several times, and he's the most likable
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: guy in the world. But for some reason, when he
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: gets into... in front of a camera, he turns into
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: a little kid. I mean, he's just craving attention all
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: of the time. And he's going to run for president again.
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: I can promise you he's going to run for president again.
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: And he'll be out after the first primary. No, he's
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: not likable.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: By the way, he could have asked some really important
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: questions of the FBI chief with everything going on in
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: the world.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: He didn't. He didn't. He just.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: Yeah, just slam the guy. And what did we get
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: out of it?
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: Nothing. No, no. And all of the hearings were like
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: that yesterday. Every single one of the hearings, one of
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: the most fascinating things, and I'll get back to the
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: hearings just because they're fun to listen to. But one
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: of the things that happened yesterday, and it was completely
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: unknown that this was going to happen. Thomas Massey from Kentucky,
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: you remember, he lost his primary. after bragging, oh, I
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: can take on Donald Trump. He'll come after me, but
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: what will that mean? 10 points? I'll still win by 10. Well,
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: he lost by 20 after Donald Trump went after him
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: for going off the reservation. So he kept this a
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: secret because he knows his time would have been killed.
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson would have made sure this never happened. He
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: initiated impeachment proceedings against Secretary of the War, Pete Hegseth.
- 1:32:44Speaker 6: Well, frankly, I was concerned that Mike Johnson would end
- 1:32:47Speaker 6: Congress again, like shorten even our already truncated work period
- 1:32:53Speaker 6: if he found out I was doing this. So I
- 1:32:55Speaker 6: shared the idea with nobody.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: And when he got up there, they thought he was
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: going to talk about something else. And he introduced articles
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. So now they have to
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: take it seriously. Now, Johnson can bury it. Johnson can
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: never have the hearings. But which the Senate did for
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: Donald Trump, if you remember. And so, not the Senate
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: for Donald Trump, I'm talking about the Senate did for
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: Joe Biden. So who was the Secretary of State that
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: they did that for, remember? They tried to impeach the
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: Secretary of State. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It went to
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: the Senate, so they're able to bury it if they
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: want to. So that was part of the drama yesterday.
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: Part of the drama also happened in the hallways. Now,
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: John Fetterman... the poor guy, he has been hounded ever
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: since he's been more of a Republican than a Democrat.
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: And now they keep saying, which I've heard, I've heard
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: this rumor from some pretty darn good sources have said that, well,
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: you know what? After the midterms, he's going to become
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: a Republican. If the Republicans really need his vote, he's
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: going to become a Republican. So if I heard it,
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: everybody in the press in Washington heard it. They were
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: following him down the hallway and yelling him questions about
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: him switching over to be a Republican. And Fetterman finally
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: turned when he got to the elevators and said this.
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: I'm not going to be a Republican. And why can't
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: you guys just wait till the midterm? You know, and
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: if I turn a Republican and then I'll be a
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: liar then. Like, it's just like my name is not
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: on the ballot. Like, chill and wait for the midterm here.
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: I've always been a Democrat.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: And he always generally votes with the Democrats on most issues.
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: What's interesting here is even though they always shadow him,
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: they'll follow him, he'll always stop and address them, unlike
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: some of the others who are Republicans and Democrats who
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: just dismiss the press. He'll always answer their question at
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: some point. But what's your gut reaction? He sort of
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: opened the door a little bit. Let's wait until after
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: the midterm elections. I can't see him winning a Democratic
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: primary election. but I could see him possibly keeping his
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: seat as a Republican.
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, listen, I know that there's six people already
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: saying they're going to primary him and some pretty big,
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: big names in Pennsylvania are talking about primarying him. And
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: right now in the polls, it does not look good.
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: He is more popular among Republicans in Pennsylvania than he
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: is among Democrats. So if he were to look at
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: the poll numbers and the poll numbers alone, uh, Switching
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: to the Republican Party personally would be a good move.
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: But now he pretty much stated, now he's going to
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: be a liar, as he just said. Now he's pretty
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: much stated, I'm not going to be a Republican. I
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: am a Democrat. I've always been a Democrat. So, you know,
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: Joe Manchin went through the same thing from West Virginia.
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: If you remember, he went back and forth. He was
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: a middle of the road. There's nobody middle of the
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: road anymore.
- 1:36:02Speaker 11: He is.
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: John Fetterman is, and he's a dying breed. And so
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: he's getting frustrated, and rightfully so, because he, as you
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: pointed out, 87% of the time he votes for the
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: Democratic Party. Yep. 87% of the time.
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: Up next, the other big issue in addition to artificial intelligence,
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: the artificial intelligence data filing centers that might be coming
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: to a neighborhood near you are the flock cameras. And
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: New Jersey has done something. I'm not quite sure what
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: it amounts to, but our New Jersey expert, obviously, Larry Mendte,
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: is going to weigh on that. And also some surveillance
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: cameras in the parks of Wayne, New Jersey, that some
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: people are not at all happy with. Man, unbelievable how
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: all these issues have surfaced simultaneously.
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: So flock cameras have taken a backseat to AI right now,
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: but there is still some controversy across the country. And
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: there's a new bill being introduced in Trenton right now
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: that would ban private companies and individuals, by the way,
- 1:37:10Speaker 2: from operating automated license plate readers in New Jersey. Now,
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: you might be hearing me say that and go, oh,
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: what do you mean private companies? Yeah, private companies, they
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: can buy flock, too. And the police tap into their
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: flocks as well. So you have the ones that the
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: city puts up, but then you have private companies that
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: also can use flock to find out who's coming on
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: their properties and stuff like that. And now they want
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: to put a stop to that and restrict who can
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: and how they can use them. But also with police departments,
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: this bill would say that they can only keep the
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: information they get from flock. for two days. And here
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: is the problem with this legislation, Curtis. Flock keeps the
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: information and they share it with police departments. So you
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: would have to pass a national bill unless somehow you
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: can just say in New Jersey, you can't access that
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: till past two days. But how are you going to,
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: I mean, if they have a big case or a
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: missing child, Do you not go after the license plates?
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: Do you not see where the person was? If you
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: can save a life, if you can solve a crime. Again,
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: I think that... we don't want to throw out the
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: baby with the bathwater, that there has to be a
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: middle ground. This bill is nice, especially when it comes
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: to the private companies. But again, everybody's searching for an answer,
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: and it's not easy to find.
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: Well, it's all part of this wave of Americans being
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: opposed to this accelerated surveillance technology. Even the vice president yesterday, J.D. Vance,
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: with his exclusive interview with the New York Post, mentioned that.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: He goes, I'm well aware. I'm well aware. I'm concerned
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: about accelerated surveillance technology. I know a lot of Americans are,
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: and that includes Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. But here's another case. Wayne,
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: New Jersey, two parks. They put up surveillance cameras. You
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: would think, okay, people wouldn't get all that upset making
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: sure nobody's– doing anything wrong in the park. Well, there's
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: opposition to that. What is this, Red China? Every move
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: that I make, every time I hit a tennis ball
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: on the tennis court, you know, I'm under the camera.
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: Or if I'm smooching in the corner with my girlfriend
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: or Gumata, then all of a sudden that's brought to
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: the forefront. So whereas before, there probably wouldn't have been
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: much opposition. Now, there is to any kind of surveillance technology.
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: There's a wave here now. There's anger in America. And
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: they're not doing a very good job of explaining it
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: to sort of try to negate that.
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: Yeah, they try. They try. But there's this wave of ignorance,
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: I believe. And we've seen this happen before where everybody
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: rallies for a cause. Everybody thinks that they're now in
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: the front of a cause. And they don't stop to think.
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: And they don't– and they keep saying, I mean– To
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: your point, you just said maybe they're not getting out
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: in front of this. They keep saying how many crimes
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: are solved with Flock, how many missing people are found
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: every single week with Flock, and all of that could
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: go away. So you might have a murderer that would
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: normally be caught that now gets away and can murder
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: somebody else. You may now have somebody that stole something
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: from you that they get away with it now because
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: there wasn't flock. So you have to, you really have
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: to think it out and go a little deeper than
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: your privacy is being invaded. And by the way, and
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: I'll say this again, there is no constitutional protection of
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: privacy when you're outside. They're allowed to look at your life.
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: That's why they have license plates in the first place,
- 1:40:59Speaker 2: just to identify you and to be able to find
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: out where you're going. So look, I get the emotional
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: reaction to this, but it is going way overboard considering
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: all of the problems have just been some jilted police officers.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's Orwellian. And when you get Democrats and
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: Republicans being upset about it, You better get out ahead
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: of this everywhere in advance of it becoming an issue
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: in a town hall meeting. Anyway, the talkback of the
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: morning and winner of the Curtis Lee and Larry Menti
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: in the morning T-shirt seemed to be worried about me
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: after confronting these two banditos stealing mail this morning out
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: of one of those blue mailboxes in my neighborhood.
- 1:41:49Speaker 12: All I can say is we need more Curtis Lee
- 1:41:51Speaker 12: was on the street. Thank you, Curtis, so much. That
- 1:41:55Speaker 12: was very brave of you, but also be careful.
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: Well, look.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: My PSA was do not mail in the blue mailbox
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: because people are openly stealing mail. If you want to
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: be Santa Claus and lose your mail or have stolen
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: items from your mail, just go to your blue mailbox.
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: And remember, the Talkback of the Week will win a
