  Speaker 1: the way it was supposed to be done, with me

  Speaker 1: circulating around WOR, no doubt done by AI, artificial intelligence, sorry, Mr. President,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: not super intelligence, was a picture of me and you, Larry,

  Speaker 1: sign up for that, right? No, I'm not.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking about being the first AI lawsuit. I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: going to sue over that because that was absolute defamation.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Absolute defamation. I can assure you it's gone. It appeared.

  Speaker 2: I think it's a wonderful idea. I think you should
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: dress alike. It would be so cute.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yes. He could wear a Guardian Angels outfit. Is he
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: allowed to? Yes, absolutely. Natalie, what do you think of

• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Flu season coming, and Japan is being ravaged by the flu.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: They've had 36 straight days of rain. So I think
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we've got to really pin down Jimmy don't fail me
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: now failure when he comes in for the eight o'clock hour.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I think he'd be all in, but I love how

  Speaker 2: go ahead and leave us a talk back and say
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you'd like to, but you have to get your flu

• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the morning t-shirt that's going to be awarded every day.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: To the talk back in the morning. Just one request
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on that before we move on. Make sure your hands
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: are not sweaty. The mayor's hands, thankfully, were not sweaty.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you were going to tell me they were.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You remember the texture of his hands?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Man, I will never forget shaking Richard Nixon's hands in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the White House when I was a newspaper boy of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the year. It was 1969. And that was the coldest,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: sweatiest hand I had ever shaken in my life. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: have nightmares from that. So I can assure you that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mondami's hands were not clammy and sweaty. That's why
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I continue to hold them all during that ordeal of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: getting my... What did he smell like? My smell is
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: really not good. I think you know that. You were
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: pretty close, though. I was close. Smell like lilacs? It's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the Department of Health. You know what the Department of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Health smells like? A lot of Lysol. Yeah, exactly. A
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: lot of Lysol. Like a senior citizen home when you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: go to visit, like Lysol. But anyway.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I love that you're reminiscing about that moment, though. That's adorable.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It really is adorable. Man, has it reverberated all over
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Pro and con. For everyone who praises me for crossing
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the political line, another one wants basically to make sure
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I go away for all time. But this is your day, Larry,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to rain on your day because today, Tuesday,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and Wednesday, and this includes you, Natalie, but not me,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: October 6th, October 7th, very big day. because it's prime
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: big deal day with Amazon. Now, when we last visited you, Larry,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you were so into buying Amazon that you had boxes
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in your hallway, your foyer that you hadn't even opened
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: up yet. And you, Natalie, you always looking for Amazon deals.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And I told you about my wife. She's Miss Amazon.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: She orders nonstop, which really pisses me off because I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hate Jeff Bezos. I hate his wife. I hate everything
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he represents. And actually, I think of him first and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: foremost as Mr. Amazon. So Larry, are you looking forward
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to the start of the day? You know, I don't.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know it was today until you mentioned it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I order from Amazon all of the time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I order from Amazon all the time. If I need something,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I look at Amazon and it's amazing how quickly they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: can get it to you. So it is an incredible service,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: an incredible service. But I'm not a person, I never
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: run out for sales. I never think of Amazon.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I should.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's the right thing to do. It's
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: not the proper way to do things. Of course I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: should be looking for sales. I never do. I don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: know why.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Natalie, do you look for sales? Excuse me? I'm looking
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: at Amazon right now. Don't bother me.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I'm looking how I can get a Lego river steamboat
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: set for $ 30.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Percent off wait a second wow now that's a good idea.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: 229 for legos if i can get all of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: christmas presents now see this is why.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Amazon prime that's thank you for that i hate you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: guys for that you want.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You want to know how treacherous and devious i am
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: i come home from the atlantic attic on sunday it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was raining but a big crowd and that's how i
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: know we're doing well larry as i mentioned if people
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: haven't heard it before People knew I was away on Friday.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I was up at the University of Binghamton. They said, oh,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we missed you with Larry on Friday. Very good sign.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Very good sign, which means they've come on over to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: 710WOR in the mornings or they've stayed with 710WOR because
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: they've been tried and true listeners. So Sunday night I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: get home and there is Nancy struggling. She had ordered
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: from Amazon. There was the big Amazon box, which had
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: arrived on Saturday, a filing cabinet. What? Yep. She was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: trying to put it together. She's very good. She's like,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: she grew up reading Popular Mechanics. I did not. She's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: looking for the instructions. I don't know where I put
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the instructions. And in my pile of papers, as you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: see before me now, was the instructions. And guess what?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I tortured her.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: You did not.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I would not give her the instructions because I hate
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: every time she orders from Amazon and It destroys the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: brick and mortar fabric of America, the shops, the mom
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and pop shops. America is based on retail. And look
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: at all the malls. All the malls that have closed.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It's a filing cabinet. Do you expect her to go
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: on the subway, go down to wherever, get a filing cabinet,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: bring it back?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: This makes it a lot easier for her.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I have another question. What kind of instructions come with
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a filing cabinet?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: She has to put it together. Yeah, she has to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: put it all together. It comes, you know, in one
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: rectangular box, and now you've got to build it out.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: She's good at that, but without the instructions, she's not
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that good.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That sounds like a Timu filing cabinet.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: That sounds awful.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Now, I would never have done this to a Larry
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and Natalie if she wasn't constantly ordering from Amazon. I mean,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I'll be there in the afternoon. You know, she has
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to go out and work. You know, the ring and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the bells. She said, make sure you answer the bell
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and you let them in. They shouldn't ring the bell. Well,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they have to get it. We live in an apartment building. Oh,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they don't want it to be. You don't want them
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to leave it in the foyer because then all the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: porch pirates will steal everything. So I got to ring
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the bell and they never get in all the way.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And you got to keep ringing the bell. And then
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: finally they get in. And they look like they could
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: do a home invasion when you actually see them at
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the door. I'm saying, man, if they weren't working for Amazon,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: some of these guys look like they could be doing
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a home invasion.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Well, we have a different experience completely. Our guys are
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the nicest guys in the world. They really are. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: had something delivered the other day that had to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: signed for from Amazon. And so it was wine that
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: we ordered. We ordered like a case of wine.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: You ordered wine from Amazon?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is a new revelation? Yeah, what else have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you ordered from Amazon? You are the celebrity shopper in
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: your household. I didn't know that you did most of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: your shopping by ordering on Amazon.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I insist, by the way, on doing all the grandkids'
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Christmas shopping. So when you mentioned Amazon, I went immediately
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to Amazon to see what toys are on sale. If
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I can get all the Christmas shopping done now and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: not spend a fortune at the last minute, I'd be
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a very happy person.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I'm still shocked about the wine Amazon order. You know
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: what's really bothering you about Amazon now?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Well, it's not even Amazon. It's my ring doorbell.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: See, I used to be able to sneak the Amazon
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: packages in because I'd get home before my husband. Thankfully,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the Amazon usually comes before 3 o'clock. I'd grab them.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I'd stash them away. Now, everybody has a ring doorbell.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: So you get the notifications. Package at door. Packages left
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the door. So my husband's like, what got delivered today?
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: I'm like, ugh.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: There's no way I can sneak the packages in now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: This is not fair.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Because you are addicted. You are addicted to Amazon like Nancy, addicted.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And you, no doubt, next you'll be getting your groceries
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: from Amazon.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I've done it before. Because they give you an ad
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: every single time you buy something. Would you like to
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: buy this? And it's all groceries.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, would you like to add? And one time I looked.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: At it and my son loves to get pizzas. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: so I ordered a frozen pizza, two of them. It
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: showed up in an hour.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: An hour? It was at my door in an hour.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It's because, you see, when you talk about the malls
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and the local stores and you want to support them,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Amazon uses them. Amazon uses a lot of their stuff
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to get to you. So if you talk to a
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: lot of these local stores and local workers, they love Amazon.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: What happened to all the anchor stores? They're gone. Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they're gone. You go to Major Malls, Bergen County, right?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: The mall capital of the world. Natalie, no doubt you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: shopped till you dropped in Bergen County. There's a Macy's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: right down the street from me. I mean, it didn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: close down. Some of them went down. No, but Bergen County,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't. All the stores are closed on Sundays.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They observe the blue laws. It used to be all,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: am I right, Natalie? All malls with anchor stores. Are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you kidding me? Now those anchor stores are empty. They're closing, yeah.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: A lot of them are closing. Because of Amazon. Because
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of Jeff Bezos. And what's the name of his wife?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You know, the one with all the artificial things on her.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: What are the artificial things? Yeah, you know, from boobs
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to everything else. Oh, my God. Lady, do you think
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you can wear a decent pair of clothes instead of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: looking like you're in a strip show?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Only because we're in radio, so nobody can see your
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: hand effects. When you lift up your chest and say
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the artificial things. Yeah, well, hers are lifted. There's no doubt.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And she does it on purpose. She does it on purpose.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I can't.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Larry, you just.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we got to talk about it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The New York Yankees. They're not out. They're not out,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: but they are down. And few teams have come back
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: from where they are now. We'll talk about it next. Plus,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: a chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: starring the man himself from the movie. And he's the writer,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Chaz Palminteri. That's at 825. But first, I do want
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to tell you about LifeVac. You hear me talk about
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: this every day, and the reason I talk about it
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: every day is because I believe in this product so much,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and I think you should have one in your house.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It would make me feel better if you had one
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in your house, because choking can happen anytime, and when
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: it does, seconds matter. LifeVac is the first and only,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: this is important, only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: used for second-line treatment when the recommended choking protocols, like
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the Heimlich or just hitting somebody in the back, have
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: been followed without success.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And here's what's remarkable.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: LifeVac has helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. We had
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Arthur Lee, the founder of LifeVac, in here the other day,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and he had on his phone, he just got a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: notice that day, another person had been saved. So these
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: aren't just numbers. These are real people, real families, real
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby, LifeVac,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: can make all the difference in the world. So learn
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and see how you can be.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Ready when it counts. So go ahead, Curtis. You're the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: big Yankees fan. Go ahead.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Tell us about the game last night.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, total disaster. And I knew Tampa would beat us
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: because they play fundamental baseball like the Milwaukee Brewers do.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see both of them in the World
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Series so Americans can see how you bunt, hit and run,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and do normal baseball other than swing for the fences,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: which is all the Yankees do. So I think yesterday
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: when you saw the debacle, the total collapse of the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Yankees in Tampa, it's the curse of Aaron Boone. He's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: been there nine years as manager. Cashman, the general manager,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: 28 years. Time to go, guys. Four errors.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Completely unacceptable. Three in one inning.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You're in now— every game is the most important game of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the season at this point. And to commit four errors— but
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you've been talking about this for a while, and I
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: saw it for myself, and I agree with you. They
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: play small ball, and you can be extremely successful playing
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: small ball. Rice had two home runs for the Yankees.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: That's all they had. I'm going to take you to
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the fifth inning, and this explains. Two guys got on, singles,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: then stole bases— So they're set up to score. And
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: a guy named Richie Palacios came up. By the way,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Richie Palacios from Tampa Bay is from Brooklyn. He's a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn native. Don't remind me. And here's what he did.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Now you've got second and third two out. He's had
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a misplay and an error in this inning. Palacios, a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: bullet into center field. A base hit. One run is in. Simpson.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Here comes DeLuca and hits the mind. DeLuca scores. Richie Palacios.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Two RBI single makes it 5-1 Ray.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: All the score, everything was singles. Single, single, single, stealing bases, bunts.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, everything was that. And the Yankees all the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: time seemed to be swinging for the fences. How many
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: long fly outs were there to center field?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of strikeouts. By the way, the pitcher against
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: them had failed miserably for the Mets. They brought him
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: over from Milwaukee. And he was just a miserable disappointment,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta. He found a new life in Tampa because
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he won game two. And you're right. And the fielding
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: lapses were just unreal. You would say, they did better
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in the Little League World Series and Williamsport, some of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: those semifinal teams, than the Yankees did in game two. Yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know what they really need? Aaron Judge.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: They need him back.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: No.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Well, it wouldn't hurt. Well, he can run. So maybe
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: he DH. So you're hoping that maybe he hits a
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: homer or two, right? Because that's all he can do.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And then limp around the bases. Can't even do that, apparently,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: at this point. Or he would have been put in,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: not to the lineup, but he would have been available
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to pinch hit. No, it's time. Aaron Boone's got to go.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Nine years. Brian Cashman, 28 years. Now, look, if the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Steinbrenner family, all they want are home runs because they
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think that's what puts the fannies in the seats, you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: where you pay the big bucks, you're have to take
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a reverse mortgage and a payday loan to afford going
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to a game with the parking and, you know, a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: $ 20 dirty water hot dog. Hey, fine.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: But you're not going to win. You're not going to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: get into the World Series. They're not the only team
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that does this. There's a lot of teams in the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: league that try the same thing. But what happens is
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: another team comes along, like Tampa Bay, that wins by
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: small ball. So we should be, if the Yankees are out,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: we should be hoping that Tampa Bay wins.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: The World Series. Because if they do, everybody will try that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Small payroll also. Minuscule compared to the Yankees and the Dodgers.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers is the other team. They may get into
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the finals. They may not. But they had long ball.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: You know, every guy gets up. Ohtani and everybody else. Hey,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: can we hit one out of the park? It's every team.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It's every team these days. Let's get some talkbacks.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Curtis, you just mentioned how treacherous.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And devious you are.
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: And what do you think your listeners should be thinking
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: right now when you're holding hands with the mayor of
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: New York?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Treacherous and devious.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, you couldn't put it any better. You see that?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: They turn on me because I do a good thing
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for a PSA. To prevent people from getting the flu
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: my age and older, and then possibly dying as a result. No,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it was nice you did that. You didn't have to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: hold his hand and look at him lovingly. Excuse me,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: didn't Taylor Swift ask Paul McCartney to play I Want
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to Hold Your Hand?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: See, you can deflect to other people. This is you
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. I'm just talking about you.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Don't be a homophobe. Well, okay. I'll let you be
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you and love be love.
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: I think I have the most obvious question of all
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: for Curtis. Why is your wife buying a filing cabinet
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: in 2026?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Not for her. As you have seen my accumulation of paper. Oh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: that's right. I don't let you throw anything away. See,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a clutterer and she's tired of the files everywhere.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So she's, You know, she's very compartmentalized, and she's an e-attorney,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: so she doesn't have any paper. Everything is, you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: on the computer.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you had your real serious psychological problem with paper,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I've been in your office.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I saw your office. Man, that was piled up to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the ceilings.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: That was wow. I've never seen anything like that. All right,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: let's get the news at 630 with Daria Albinger.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Daria.

• 19:09
  Speaker 13: In the two days before she actually reported this to
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: the Cornell University Police Department, she called three of the
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: men who allegedly assaulted her and asked them in some
• 19:18
  Speaker 13: ways to recount the evening in their own words. She
• 19:21
  Speaker 13: secretly recorded these phone calls and basically asked them to
• 19:25
  Speaker 13: help her better understand what happened that evening.

• 20:13
  Speaker 11: the group the modern KKK and said we will unmask them,
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: but Danbury police say the group was on the sidewalk
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: and it doesn't look like they broke the law. The

• 20:49
  Speaker 5: 2 of the ALDS to Tampa Bay 5-2. Game 3
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: is tomorrow night in the Bronx. I'm Daria Albinger on
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: 710 WOR.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria. Well, thank God.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Finally, finally, we have some smart people that are delving
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: into the AI issue. New York City Council. We've been
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: waiting for them. Forget all of the brainiacs out in
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Silicon Valley. Forget all the world leaders. The New York
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: City Council is going to solve this problem. And they
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: had a hearing yesterday. Wait till you hear it. You're
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: going to know that I'm being sarcastic. Plus, WOR's Jimmy
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Fallon will be in studio with us for the 8
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: o'clock hour. That's coming up. There is a global initiative
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: right now to handle what are the perceived problems with AI.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: There is a national consortium that's getting together with all
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: the top AI companies that met for the first time
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: at the White House today. And there are congressional and
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Senate hearings on this with many of the experts. But
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: thank God, thank God the New York City Council is
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: weighing in on this. Because when you think of global
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: problems with AI, when you think of artificial intelligence and
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: high tech, right away you think to yourself, well, what
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: does the New York City Council think about this? Because
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: they may be able to solve the problem. And so
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the only person, by the way, for their hearing that
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: showed up in person was was the one guy that's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: everywhere now, Jacob Coxon. He is the anthropic whistleblower that
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: was the first one out to say, you know, AI
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: could destroy the world. There's a 10% chance that AI
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: could destroy the world. So he got up in person
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: and testified first.
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: We do not know how to control any AI system yet.
• 22:39
  Speaker 14: So any AI system that we build, or perhaps more accurately,
• 22:44
  Speaker 14: that we grow, we don't fully control it. We don't
• 22:48
  Speaker 14: understand its drives or why it does the things it does.
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: That was the first thing that became apparent. The second
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: thing is that the pace of capability improvement is accelerating
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: and the capabilities of the models next year will be.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Very high.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: So he's still all doom and gloom. The world is
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: going to end. Nobody else seems to be on board
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: with him, but he's going to get the most attention.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: But I want to take you now to the New
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: York City Council because they had four other representatives from Google,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: from Meta, from OpenAI, from Anthropic. They were all there.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: They had four of them in a box and they
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: were appearing via streaming. And so City Council opened up
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: questions to them. And it didn't go well because the
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: questions that were asked were, you could tell the people
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: thought either weren't appropriate or weren't the best questions to ask.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to give you one of these so
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you can hear the way it went. This is Julie Menon,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the head of the city council leading off questioning.
• 23:56
  Speaker 15: As you all four are under oath, we want to
• 23:59
  Speaker 15: hear how each of you quantify the risk imposed by
• 24:04
  Speaker 15: AI in the worst case catastrophic scenario.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: So she used big words and everything, quantify, and then
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: she was completely shut down by Morgan Dwyer, who is
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: OpenAI's head of policy and operations development.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 24:23
  Speaker 16: I also don't think it matters whether it's 1% or 10%
• 24:29
  Speaker 16: or a 20% chance that something catastrophic will go wrong.
• 24:34
  Speaker 17: None of these levels is remotely acceptable. We should not
• 24:38
  Speaker 17: train models that we cannot make an extremely strong case
• 24:43
  Speaker 17: that we can keep under human control.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So that was a great answer. What she's saying is,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: does the percentage matter? Does the percentage matter at all?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: If it can happen, it can happen. We have to
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: shut that down. But Julie Menon, she was insulted.
• 24:57
  Speaker 15: I'm sorry, but to say you don't know and it
• 25:00
  Speaker 15: doesn't matter is flippant at best.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: That's not what she said. I know most of the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: 51 who serve in the city council. You need actual intelligence, AI,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: actual just to deal with this subject. You and I,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: we've been dealing it for months. We're not qualified to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: speak on it. And yet, you know what they did
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: over the weekend? I got inside information because the staff
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: does all the work, as you know. And staff, you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: people get elected. They come and go. They're term limited.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But staff remains the same. So many of them had
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: no idea what AI was. So they got together and
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: he started binge watching some of the movies about AI
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. The Matrix Trilogy, back to back to back.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And 2001 Space Odyssey. They had their crib notes. They
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: knew nothing about this. Now, Julie meant it. press the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: panic button. She called the committee of the whole meeting.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: This is only done on special occasions. The last time,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: all 51, you got to be there or you get
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: no discretionary funds. When Adams, remember Eric Adams was spending
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: $ 7 billion of our money to shelter the illegal aliens.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: That was a crisis. This is not. You know what
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is a crisis? Legionnaires disease. It's popped up again. North
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Shore Towers, Glen Oaks. They all listen to talk radio.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I've spoken there twice during the campaigns.
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: Packed.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: They're all senior citizens. This is right near the border
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of Nassau County. They got their own golf course. Two
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: people were in the hospital. They don't know the origin. Remember,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: this hit us in the Upper East Side. It hit
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: us recently, the South Bronx, even Yankee Stadium. Do you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: think maybe that's a subject that they ought to be
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: delving into since it seems to be spreading all over
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the place? You know, stay within your lane. Exactly.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: This apparently is a hot topic right now, and we
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: need to stay on top of that Legionnaire's disease. No,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: thanks for bringing that up. That's a big deal.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: There is a benefit here. By her reminding everybody, you're
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: on the oath. I'll tell you what Schumer just did,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and this is what they all do. Schumer's daughter was
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: just hired by OpenAI after she had worked with Amazon. OpenAI,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Sam Altman. So you see... The companies come in. They
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: know they have no power, no jurisdiction because it starts
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: with the feds and then everybody else follows. But you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: can offer jobs to friends and relatives, legislative aides, the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: lobbying firms. You get people placed because now you develop relationships.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It's adversarial, but it's friendly. Just follow the money. That's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: all it is. The city council can't do anything. They
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: still have bureaus, Larry, where they're using floppy disks and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they're worried about artificial intelligence.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, obviously she didn't know what she was talking about.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: But one of the biggest problems I have with all
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: of these hearings and not just at city council, but
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: also the congressional hearings, almost every political hearing is that
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: they go in with an agenda and their agenda was
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to attack these people. And that was it because that
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: would make them look good. They know that people are
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: scared of AI. they wanted to be the Avengers going
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: in to take on AI, and they were out of
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: their depth. So these people, I would love them, if
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: you have the experts in AI, and the people they had,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: they actually sent some pretty good people. I mean, not sent,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: they at least set up on camera that they had some.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Pretty good people.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: You have a Brainpower there. Understand it. Ask them questions.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Get a better understanding of what you're talking about.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: They skipped that part.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: They skipped the knowledge part and went right to attack,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and they end up looking foolish.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Now, Julian Mennon, you know, threatened subpoenas, you're under oath.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: You know who told her go F off? Elon Musk.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I know. He said, why not send in any representative?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: This is nonsense. He said what everybody knows. They have
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: no jurisdiction. They don't understand AI. The president was a
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: little disappointed because nobody, including the experts, referred to AI
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: as super intelligence. I'm sure he wasn't that upset. But
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: up next, oh, people are sitting shiver. The televangelist extraordinaire.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: There was a day he was the number one go-to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: guy in America. Oh yeah, Christian Broadcasting Company, 700 Club.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Baker, remember with Tammy Faye Baker in the mascara
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: when she'd be crying coming down the cheeks, passed away yesterday.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And remember Jessica Hahn? Oh, we've got a lot of
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: ground to cover up next. I heard the announcement yesterday,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie, that televangelist Jim Baker had kicked the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: bucket at 86. And I know for some people, they
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily... gravitate to the name right away but i'm
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: telling you in the 1970s in the era of televangelists
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and that includes billy graham pat robertson of the christian
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: broadcast network who went on to run for president republican
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: uh primary jimmy schwaggart i have sinned and of course
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: jerry forwell who turned uh that into a political movement
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: nobody was bigger nobody was bigger than jimmy baker and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: along with his wife, Tammy Faye Baker, who would always
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: cry at the appropriate time on television, and her mascara
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: would run. A million dollars a day they were bringing in.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Prayer rags, the whole nine yards. They were on TV
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: every day. The PTL Club, top rated of all the televangelists.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: And they ran the third most traveled to amusement park.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: In the country, including they had more people than Dolly
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Parton had coming in, there was Disney World No. 1,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Disneyland No. 2, and Heritage USA Theme Park No. 3
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The money was coming in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: hand over fist. And then all of a sudden, Jim
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Baker was traveling through Nassau County. Don't fail me now, Ophelia.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: We'll be joining us in the 8 o'clock hour. Maybe
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: he remembers Jessica Hahn. The 21-year-old church secretary of one
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of these mega churches out there. And Jim Baker had
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: taken her, along with John Wesley Fletcher, another Holy Roller minister,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: drugged her and raped her at a hotel out near Massapequa,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: where Jessica Hahn was from. They knew they had trouble
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: because she did it. This was not consensual. So he
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: gave her $ 300, 000 in hush money, you know, through the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: PTL club. And then eventually it blew up. The whole
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: world knew. Obviously, the donation stopped. Jessica Hahn became a
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: regular guest of Howard Stern, who was also from Nassau County.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: She did a spread for Hugh Hefner and Playboy magazine.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: She went on to become a girlfriend of Sam Kinison.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: The comedian was in his videos. So he had a
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: whole nother life. But Jim Baker had to go to
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: prison because the feds moved in on him and indicted
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: him on multiple counts of fraud, 25 counts of fraud.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: because he was just bilking all the donors, sentenced him
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to 45 years, but he only did five years, paroled
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: out in 1994, had his comeback, you know, small, minor
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: cable station, but was still ripping off people in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: middle of COVID, telling them you could buy these conic
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: elixirs and it would protect you from COVID-19.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Do you remember in the middle of that scandal, when
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: on Nightline, Tammy Faye and Jim Baker appeared? It was
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: one of the most iconic nightlines. This is a show
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that started with the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, but
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: one of their most famous and one of their most
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: highest-rated shows was this one, when they were not talking.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Tammy Faye and Jim Baker, they were not talking, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Ted Koppel got him on the show.
• 33:06
  Speaker 18: Tammy and I have gone through a devastating time. Tammy
• 33:10
  Speaker 18: started first with pneumonia and then we went through the
• 33:14
  Speaker 18: Betty Ford's program and then this thing came and just
• 33:19
  Speaker 18: crushed us so deeply.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And we didn't want to get in the fight. It
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: was like a circus. We couldn't believe it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: So he never really directly went at the accusations against them.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: It was just poor, poor, pitiful me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 18: In one week, I raised $ 30 million at one time
• 33:35
  Speaker 18: last year. And Tammy's records and our books and all
• 33:39
  Speaker 18: have brought in literally millions of dollars. And instead of royalties,
• 33:43
  Speaker 18: we took a salary controlled by the board of directors.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: And I feel that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 18: We should have said no.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: We will not receive that. That wasn't the problem.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: That's how he tried to deflect all of the financial accusations. That,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: wait a second, I didn't control anything. It never came
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: through me. The board did all of that. Maybe I
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: just should have said no to them because I would
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: have done this for free.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: He decided to turn everything over to Jerry Falwell. Because
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the other guy who came in and tried to take
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: over everything from him with his downfall was Jimmy Swaggart
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I have said. The televangelist movement
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: is so filled with fraud. Guys who turned out to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: be homosexuals who railed against homosexuality. It's just one after
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: another after another. They reach the pinnacle of success and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: they feel they're omnipotent. There's idolatry involved. They may have
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: had a little storefront church at one point. Maybe they
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: were true believers. And then it all went to their head. Boy,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Jim Baker, what a downfall. But Tammy Faye is the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: one you'll always remember. The mascara running down his shoes. Jim, Jim,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: let's say a prayer to Jesus right now. Anyway, up next,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: John Decker is following the president on the campaign trail.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from him right after this 7 o'clock news.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Well, as the president has been barnstorming on his month-long campaign,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: campaign visits from city to city and state to state.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: John Decker has been with him part of the way.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: He is the WOR White House and Washington correspondent. He's
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: also a host of a podcast you really should check
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: out called The White House Breathing Room with John Decker.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: You can find that on the iHeartRadio app. So, John,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: give us a sense of what it's like to travel
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: with the president as he barnstorms from area to area.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: What has the scene been? What have the crowds been like?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: And do you think this might make any difference in
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the midterms?
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Well, I travel with the president on Saturday. That was
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: a trip to Dayton, Ohio. And the president was really
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: well received. It was a high school gymnasium. It was
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: completely full. There were a few dozen protesters outside the
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: venue where this rally took place. You know, the president,
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: as you know, Larry and Curtis, is traveling to a
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: lot of red states. In fact, I'm going to travel
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: once again with the president this coming Saturday. I'm going
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: to Tennessee with the president, and then we'll travel from
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: there to Tuscaloosa for an Alabama-Georgia football game. So you
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: get a sense the president is trying to essentially energize
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: his base in the red states He's playing defense, Larry.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: You know, he's not going to states in which there
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: are really competitive races going on. I mean, you certainly
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: could argue Nebraska, which is where he was yesterday, and Texas. Well,
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Texas has a very competitive race, but Alabama, Tennessee, they
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: are not competitive at all. They're solid red states.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Now, John Decker, if we can use a football analogy
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: for the president, In 2016, when he first ran, he
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: was all offense because he didn't have a record. You know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: he wasn't in an elective office. Then he had to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: play defense in 2020. Then in 2024, he's on offense
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: again because he's out of office. My sense is he
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't do well when he has to play defense, when
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: he has to defend his record, his issues, what he's done.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And I see the Democrats, they're just going at him
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: wherever he's gone in that Midwest, using his own words
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to counteract what he's saying.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not just a sense, Curtis. It's factual because
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: you saw what happened in 2018. That was the midterm
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: election in the president's first term. And Republicans lost the
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: House in that midterm election, and they lost the Senate.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: And obviously, Republicans don't want to repeat history. That's the
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: reason for the president's barnstorming. that's taking place all across
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: these battleground states over the course of the next month
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: or so. The president will be traveling to some of
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: these states which do have competitive Senate races. Michigan is
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: certainly on the agenda. That's a pickup opportunity for Republicans.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: He says he's not traveling to Maine. That's where Susan
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Collins is running for A sixth term in the U.S. Senate.
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: I don't think she wants to campaign alongside the president
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: because the president not popular there. He's lost Maine all
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: three times he's run for president. So she's trying to
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: win that seat re-election on her own. But the president,
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: you know, is to your point, Curtis, playing defense. And
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: we'll see if it works for him and if the
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: Republicans can pick up a seat or two. Michigan is
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: certainly one of those opportunities.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: There was some arguments made in a Supreme Court case
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: yesterday that could have some real ramifications on the country,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: especially for the oil companies. And I guess at the
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: crux of this, and you can explain it better than
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I can, but at the crux of this is, do
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: you have the ability to sue oil companies over climate change?
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: And that's going to the Supreme Court. There were some
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: tough questions yesterday on both sides of the issue. So
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I have two questions for you first you can better
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: explain that case than i can and then secondly also
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: if by the questions you can see where the court
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: is leaning.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Well i think absolutely i think in this particular case,
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: and I think you explained it very well, Larry, in
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: terms of what's at stake in that Supreme Court oral
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: argument in case that was argued before the nine justices yesterday.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: What we heard from justices on both sides is they
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: don't see any difference between this issue and the tobacco
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: companies being.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Sued, for instance.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: No difference at all. We actually heard a number of justices,
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: liberal justices and conservative justices expressing that point of view.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: So you get the sense when they're expressing that view
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: out loud that the energy companies, the oil companies are
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: likely to lose at the U.S. Supreme Court. I did
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: not sit in those oral arguments yesterday. I always get
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: a better feel when I'm actually in the court. But,
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: you know, that's what I've read some of the back
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: and forth between the justices and the lawyers arguing for
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: both sides, and you do get the sense that the
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: oil companies should prepare for defeat at the U.S. Supreme Court.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Wow. That's going to change everything.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: Well, it's going to cost them a lot of money, certainly.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: It'll open up the doors to a flood of lawsuits
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: against the oil companies. That's why this is such an
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: important case for them. We're talking about not just millions,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: but potentially billions of dollars that will be the damages
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: if the plaintiffs are successful in suing the oil companies.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Now, generally, John, in the areas the president has gone, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of cattle, cattle country, and cattle ranch is
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: generally a very Republican, very conservative, and very pro-Trump. But
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: he did something that has just rocked their world. Already,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: 30,000 pounds of the Trump-backed Argentina beef have been recalled.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: And his argument for helping Argentina is they're fighting for
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: their life. They're dying. That's not America first, is it?
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: You know, it's so funny that you say that, Curtis,
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: because I essentially raise the same point to the deputies.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Secretary of Agriculture last week when I interviewed him, I said,
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: it doesn't sound like an America first policy. And this
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: is someone who's worked for President Trump in both the
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: first term and now in the second term. And it's
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: difficult to argue that this is an America first strategy.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: They say it's short term in terms of the purchases
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: of this foreign beef. And that's to try to lower
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: beef prices here in the U.S., But I don't know
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: if it's having the intended impact. Instead, it has angered
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: many of the ranchers because of what the administration has
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: done and what they will continue to do with these
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: purchases of foreign beef.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: You know, we've learned so much more about the fly
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Dubai hijacker. We know that he was radicalized. It sounds
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: like he wanted to hijack the plane and fly it
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: into Israel. They're reporting it was going to fly it
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: into Israel. But, I mean, we don't know that for certain,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: but now there is a lot of talk that there
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: were Iranian ties. And some of the people with the
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: administration have backed off of that and said it still
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: has to be investigated. Do we know anything more?
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: No.
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: I've seen various reporting that this was essentially a lone wolf,
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: someone who, as you point out, Larry, was radicalized. But
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: there's nothing specifically tying this individual to direction coming from
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: the Iranian government.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Or the IRGC.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: Now, the investigation is continuing. That individual, as you know,
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: is still alive in custody. And so we'll see what
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: is learned through the interrogation process. But we do know
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: from what the administration says that that move to move
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: all of those B-1 bombers out of the UK back
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: to the US, that was because of a concern of
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: a possible drone attack on that UK airbase directed by
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: the IRGC. So Iran, according to the president, said this yesterday.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: The vice president confirmed it yesterday as well. Iran certainly
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: taking its war beyond the Middle East, if indeed that
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: proves to be true.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: John, I want to take you to Texas. And the
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: president has put all of his collateral in the candidacy
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: of Paxton, the attorney general there against Tallarico. Yeah, not
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: doing too well. They're pouring $ 7 million a day into
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Paxton's campaign. And every other day, it's almost like he's
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: smacking the president. He was heard saying the midterm convention
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: that Trump hosted in Texas hurt him and other Republicans.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: And now another tape has come out and he admits
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: he has zero control of his campaign. What can they
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: do to get this guy in line? Yeah, I've seen that.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: You know, the president, when he went down to Texas
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: last week, didn't invite Ken Paxton up on the stage
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: to say some remarks. I think it's gotten under the
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: president's skin. I don't think the president is very pleased
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: with the person that he endorsed, that he put the
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: thumb on the scale to make him the Republican nominee
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: for the U.S. Senate. The president, however, is traveling back
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: down to Texas this week. He's going to San Antonio, Texas.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: I believe that's going to be on Wednesday, tomorrow. And
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: we'll see. I'm sure Ken Paxton will be there. We'll
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: see if the president allows him to say some remarks
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: during that campaign rally.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: I was saving this to the end because Natalie Harp
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: now has become a national figure. I don't know if
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: you saw, but Saturday Night Live now has someone that
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: is portraying Natalie Harp with the president and threatening all
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: his enemies to stay away from him. Natalie Harp is
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: the White House appointment secretary, but it sounds like she
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: just runs social media, but she's always with the president.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: And that's, I think, why there is so much attention
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: on her. Nobody knows a lot about her. They just
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: see her a lot. You must see her a lot
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: up close. Have you talked to her? What is their relationship?
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: I see her practically every day. I travel with her
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: to Ohio on Saturday. I see her in the Oval Office.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: I say hello to her. I'm friendly with her, but
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: I'm not friends with her, so I can't tell you
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: all that much about her. I did notice out on
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: the campaign trail in Ohio, among those protesters holding signs,
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: there were signs that specifically referenced her. Well, so it's
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: not just a Saturday Night Live thing. This has reached
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: middle America in terms of the focus that she's getting
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: in terms of her interactions with the president. So I
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: can't add anything more to that. The president sees her
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: as a trusted aide. And that's one of the reasons
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: why She travels with the president on every trip the
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: president takes, whether it's a domestic trip or a foreign trip.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And is she always right with him?
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: When you say right with him, she's always traveling. So
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: she was aboard Marine One yesterday on the flight out
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: to Andrews Air Force Base, Joint Base Andrews. And she
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: was on the trip down to Nebraska yesterday as well.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: And I would imagine she'll be with the president when
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: he travels to Baltimore, Maryland today. and the other trips
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: that the president has on his schedule throughout the week.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: By the way, let me compliment you on that podcast.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: It is wonderful. It is really, really good. So I listen.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I'm now an avid listener, and I think everybody else
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: should too. Check it out on the iHeartRadio app. John,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: thanks a lot.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Larry.
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: Thanks, Curtis. Have a great day, and I'll talk to
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: you real soon. Bye-bye.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: When we come back, well, it started.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Chipotle now has a record out with new songs, and
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: listen to this. They're all played with instruments made out
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: of vegetables.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: What?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: We'll let you hear for yourself, plus a chance to
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: at 825. I'll play that Chipotle song in a second.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: We're going to change things up just a little bit
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: and get right to some talkbacks.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: I decided to go to source itself concerning the dangers
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: of AI.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I asked chat.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: Is your primary purpose self-preservation and reproduction? I think you
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: should try it and see what the answer is. You'll
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: find that that is not its primary purpose. Its primary
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: purpose is to help solve problems that humans give it
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: to solve. But the problems that humans give it may
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: trigger self-preservation.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Ah, now you see, you have to have actual intelligence
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: to follow what our caller said. Nobody in the city
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: council yesterday, 51, was that astute. And this is just
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: our caller who knows more about it than any of
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the 51 city council people who all acted like, you know,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: they were Einstein on this subject. Yeah, I wouldn't say.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Just a caller because some of the people that listen
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: to this show are smarter, not only than anybody in
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: city council, but certainly smarter than the two of us.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: So thank you so much.
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: For that.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: That was wonderful.
• 48:37
  Speaker 19: Guys, Halloween is only a few weeks away and I've
• 48:39
  Speaker 19: got the perfect combo Halloween costume for you. I think
• 48:44
  Speaker 19: Larry and Curtis should dress up as Jim and Tammy
• 48:48
  Speaker 19: Faye Baker. I think Curtis would make an excellent Tammy Faye,
• 48:53
  Speaker 19: especially with that mascara. He could do the fake tears
• 48:56
  Speaker 19: and Larry, I think you're the perfect with, with your
• 48:59
  Speaker 19: hair would be perfect for, for Jim.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: What do you say? He had much better hair than
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I have. No, no. You have good hair on your head, Larry.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: And he was. Jim Baker, out of all the televangelists,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: had good hair. But I could pull off a Tammy
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Faye Baker if Drag Queen would sort of skill me
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: in how to do a Tammy Faye Baker. with the
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: you know the the alligator tears on the mascara letting
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: it drip down my side of my face well.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: This really has to happen then we have to have
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: this happen as a matter of fact we'll pay you
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: let's set.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Up a GoFundMe page and And where would you give
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: the money to? Oh, we'd have to find a really
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: good charity. Maybe to keep Jimmy Failure, who joins us
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: in the 8 o'clock hours, sober. So he doesn't drink
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: any longer.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Because just the fact that you would dress up like
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Tammy Faye with the mascara running down, that's worth it.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, I used to love watching PTL. I would laugh
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: my tuchus off. That's wonderful. We've got to do it. Hey,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Curtis and Mandami holding hands.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: You need to cue up a Beatles song, I Want
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: to Hold Your Hand, and then follow it up with
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Let It Be.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I would love to hear this song.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: He also mentioned Let It Be, and that's one of
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: the greatest songs of all time. How do you turn
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: vegetables bad? How do you make.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: That a horrible thing? Well, because they and Taco Bell
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: have been implicated time and time again.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, but vegetables are good for you.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Vegetables are very good for you. Man, you attack everything.

• 52:07
  Speaker 5: on 710WOR.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Ah, and up next... Remember, get ready, Jimmy. Don't fail
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: me now, failure. We'll be with us the full 8
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour. But up next, we're going to be talking
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: about the Cornell case. Demonstrations galore yesterday and a call
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: that the chancellor must resign now.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: It just keeps growing and growing and growing. It is
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: by far the biggest national story right now, the Cornell
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: gang rape. There is now huge protests happening. On Cornell campus,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: there are calls now for Letitia James to stand down.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: We have new information, new tapes, and let's go through it.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: All for you.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Let's start with the Letitia James part because apparently she
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: weighed in on the case before she was called the
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: special prosecutor on the case, before she was put in
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: as the special prosecutor on the case. And she said
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: things like, I believe that the university did not do enough,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: that I believe that that woman had to endure so
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: much and that there's no confidence or integrity or independence
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: in the investigation at this point. And so she already
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: weighed in, not only on the investigation, not only in
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: the district attorney, not only in the guild of those involved,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: But the fact that the victim in this case had
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: to endure a rape. And so the first thing that
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: one of the attorneys now for the Cornell 7, as
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: they're being called, was for her to step down.
• 53:51
  Speaker 21: If this was a normal investigation that was done in
• 53:54
  Speaker 21: New York City, for example, they would have gotten search warrants.
• 53:57
  Speaker 21: They would have grabbed every single one of these phones
• 53:59
  Speaker 21: of these guys. They would have downloaded all this material.
• 54:02
  Speaker 21: There were other photos. There were videos. And you know
• 54:05
  Speaker 21: where I think those photos and videos are now? I
• 54:07
  Speaker 21: think they're in the bottom of Lake Cuyahoga because once
• 54:09
  Speaker 21: they knew there was a problem, they cleared everything out
• 54:11
  Speaker 21: and they got rid of it.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's him talking about the investigation itself. He was
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: also asking that she step down from the investigation. Because
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: they said she's biased. She's already said that she wants
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: to get these guys and that she should step down.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Letitia James, to her part, is saying, no, no, no,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: that's not ever going to happen. I'm going to stay
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: with this case no matter what. In the meantime, there's
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: been protest. The I Am Jane Doe movement is growing.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: There are people now that are allegedly on the tape.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: or on the talk chat and on the tape of
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: the conversation that are now being confronted at school. And
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: it's making it very difficult for anybody in that fraternity
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: to go around school at this point because people are
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: confronting them constantly. And for the first time, we are
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: now hearing from one of the Cornell seven who was
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: recorded by Jane Doe on the phone call that that
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: she had afterwards.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: You did tell me you were sober, by the way.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: You did. You said you hadn't been anywhere.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: That was him claiming that she knew completely what she
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: was doing.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: So you come in, say hi.
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: We start dancing for like maybe three to five minutes.
• 55:41
  Speaker 20: And then I pop the question.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: You say yes. Then I remember like we didn't know
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: who else to bring.
• 55:48
  Speaker 19: So I go up to * * * * who was.
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: On the dance floor too. And I popped the question,
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: and he's like, yeah, and then we go upstairs.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this was obtained by ABC News. Now, remember that
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: she said in the interview, Jane Doe said in the
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: interview with the campus police, that she was okay with
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: the first two.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: It was after that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: It was after that that people were coming, but these
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: two apparently said, invited other people, so They're not. They
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: are culpable no matter what.
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: The party was sort of like crowded. So people started
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: like going up the balcony just because there was nowhere
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: else to go.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Hanging out on the balcony because there was nowhere else
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: to go. Now, remember, this guy who obviously is on
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the phone because he's trying to build a defense for himself.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: This is a while back. was also the one who
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: told his frat through the group chat, come whip it out,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: free you-know-what here. And he's basically the guy who stirred
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: the pot. There's no doubt about it. And he's the
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: one probably who would face... worst of the situations because
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: he opened up the doors to the frat and said,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: take care. Plus, he had so much ketamine and booze himself,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: he fell asleep. And then according to others, he woke
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: back up and then rejoined the effort of having sex
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: with her, with everybody else at that point.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me get back to one of these attorneys,
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: if I can, talking about Letitia James, because this is
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: going to be a big part of this case going forward.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: whether she is objective, they're going to challenge that over
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: and over again, and especially to the courts once a
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: judge is assigned.
• 57:38
  Speaker 22: Attorney General James made very public, posted Facebook comments that
• 57:45
  Speaker 22: seemingly have prejudged or at least shown a bias towards
• 57:55
  Speaker 22: the alleged victim in this case.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: He is also very upset with not only the coverage
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: of the story, but the way that people are now
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: talking about the story. And he wants to remind everybody
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: that for right now, these are all just allegations. These
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: are not allegations that should be tried on video on Instagram.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: These are very serious allegations.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: No, you can't. You can't put the genie back into
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the bottle now. Everything is going to come out now
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: that should have come out originally, but obviously was being
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: redacted by the university itself. Because the six pages that
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: the university police turned over to the prosecutor, who never
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: came back to ask any more questions, and so I'm satisfied,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: indicated that this young lady, Jane Doe, had indicated, all right, 100%
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: I was raped. That's why these demonstrations, as you saw,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: a thousand strong, and they're going to grow. The chancellor
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: is going to have to resign. There's got to be
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: a series of resignations so that the upper echelon of
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the university can fall on their swords. You know they're
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: going to get uh uh the golden parachute as they
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: leave their office uh tenured or whatever but they have
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: to do that or there's just going to be more
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: and more and more focus and it's really not fair
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: uh to all the kids who are going for their
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: education now and the parents who are paying extraordinary amounts
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: of money in many instances to fund their education. Absolutely.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Here's a little bit of... You said a thousand, and
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: I saw that reported. It certainly, when you look at it,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: looked like more. It looked like a whole lot more.
• 59:41
  Speaker 10: Justice for.
• 59:46
  Speaker 22: Jane Doe!
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Justice for Jane Doe! Justice for Jane Doe is located... Now!
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Injustice Now, they went on and on. They had a
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: lot of different chants and a lot of different speakers.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: And there's so many people now coming forward that said
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: something like this happened to me, not only at Cornell,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: but across the country. This has really struck a nerve.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: The people who contribute to the endowment, which is not
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: as large as like Columbia's or Harvard's or Yale's or Princeton,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: but it's sizable, have really got to weigh in now
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, look, this university that I attended years
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: ago now has this black eye. You've got to remove yourselves.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: You're not on trial, meaning the leadership of the university.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: You can resign, make sure you have a nice parachute
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: to leave, but you've got to leave because if not,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: then you're the ones responsible initially for not– doing due
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: diligence when she came forward. So just fall on the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: sword and leave because you're going to make this university
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: untenable for people who want to come to. I agree
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: with you.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: And there is absolutely no winning this case at this point.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: It is now the genies left the bottle because now
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: everybody across the country is internalizing this and talking about
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: things that have happened to them or happened to their friends.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: So this is beyond Cornell University. And you're absolutely right
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: when you say the administration messed up very early on
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: because they did all the right things initially. They had
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: a real investigation initially. Then they hid it. They hid
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: what was in that investigation, especially when she said, when
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Jane Doe said.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I was raped.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: And so once that happens, and many of the investigators
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: have talked about that, Once she says those words, well,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: then immediately the investigation kicks into high gear. That didn't
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: happen because that information was hidden. Well, flu season is here,
• 1:01:55

  Speaker 2: on the street.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, Natalie.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 24: Hey, well, you know, flu season is starting to ramp up,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 24: but we all know Curtis is protected. Since he got
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 24: his shot with Mayor Mom Donnie on Friday, he looks
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 24: like he's feeling A-OK.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: Are you feeling A-OK?
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, I'm fine. I'm ready to get my second
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: shot with Jimmy Failure when he comes in studio for
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: the full hour at 8. 8 to 9.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: And if you haven't seen the flu shot, for some reason,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: if you haven't seen it, just follow us on 710W1,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Facebook and Instagram.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: And you can watch the Love Fest.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 24: And then maybe the three of you, Curtis, Larry, and Jimmy,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 24: can all do one together while holding hands. And maybe
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 24: you'll break like a, what's the Guinness World Record on that?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: But anyway. 4-3-3. For a threesome? Absolutely. I'm ready. There
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 24: Threesome and double for you because you get two shots then. Now,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 24: you two, you and Mom Donnie managed to get your vaccinations,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 24: but are New Yorkers planning to do the same?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: Did you get your flu shot yet?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: Are you going to get one?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 25: No, I never do.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 26: And I never get the flu.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: Tell me why you never get one.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 25: Because I don't need one.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: And I know I don't need one.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 10: I eat properly, I take the right vitamins and minerals,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 10: and I just don't need one.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: So I definitely am going to go get that, now
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: that you reminded me. I got it last year and
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: the year before.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 14: I completely forgot that I even needed to go get
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 14: it this year, so I'm going to go get it
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 14: now before I get even more sick.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I don't play about the sick. I don't. I think
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: I might.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 25: What about you?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: I think I might as well.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 24: So two friends just like Curtis and Zoran agreeing to
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 24: get their shots together. Now, it seems like the whole
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 24: world saw the, you know, some people would call you
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 24: two an unlikely pair rolling up your sleeves.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: So what did people think when I.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 24: Literally pulled out a blown up picture out.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Of my pocket.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 24: And showed them the snapshot?
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine that. It's hard to see that.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 24: I don't want you to imagine it.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: I have a photo of it.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: That's ridiculous.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 15: Good for Curtis.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: It shows his willingness to be part of the answers
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: to things. I know I have the feeling Mondamius probably is,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: but good for Curtis.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. It's a little romance. It was
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: funny because they was competing before, but you know, it's cool.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: I got no complaints about that. You know what? Maybe
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: we need to get ours done like that too. Holding hands? Yes.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 21: Always.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 26: See?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 24: So now these two friends are going to be getting
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 24: the shot, holding hands.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: You're starting a trend, Curtis.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a trend.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: It's going to be all over. Everyone's going to post videos.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: Holding hands with their friend, getting a flu shot.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 24: Yeah, now Larry and I are going to go through it.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: We're feeling left out.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 24: But for real, that picture might have changed the hearts
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 24: and minds of some fellows because I specifically was looking
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 24: for someone wearing a mask to tell me whether.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: Or not they're going to get their flu shot.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 8: I don't think so. I never get it.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 24: You seem like you're precautioning with masking up. So why
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 24: not get the flu shot during the season?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 8: Honestly, I'm not against it. It's just that growing up,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: I never got it. So I just continued that into
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 8: my adulthood.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 24: Mayor Mamdani and Curtis Lewa got their vaccination together, their
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 24: flu vaccine together.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: Wondering what you think of that. There's a picture of them.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: I have it in my pocket. They were holding hands.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: Wondering what you think of that.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: Considering the overall popularity of Mamdani's- I actually... When you
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 8: said that, it warmed my heart, honestly. It makes me
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 8: want to go and get it almost.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: She was crying?
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 24: She was tearing up.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: She was a sweet girl, but she was tearing up
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: after I told her that.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Was she tearing up before the picture or after you
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: showed the picture? No, after.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Like, wow, this is such a moment. It is sweet.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: It is sweet. It's like a tearjerker. It's like a
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: romance movie. Is she this selfless service of mine for
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: the good of humanity? You always changed her mind.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: The girl with the mask won't get a flu shot.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I know, I was like looking for the masked up person.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: What the hell are you wearing a mask for and
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: then you don't get a flu shot? Outside, by the way,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: in the fresh air.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: I was like, but I was zoned in.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 24: I was like, now the next person I get needs
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 24: to be wearing a mask.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 5: And there she was in her pink mask. And I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: zeroed in, and I went for the kill, and.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: I went, are you going to get a vaccine? And
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: she was like, no.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 5: And I was like, what?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 24: Yeah, in my head, I think I sounded pretty cool,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 24: like calm, cool, and collected for somebody who was so like,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 24: but you're wearing a mask. Because you've got to word
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 24: it delicately. You don't want them to pull away. You know,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 24: you don't want them to be like, well, you.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Know, I'm not talking to you anymore.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: You never sounded more like a Gen Z-er than just then.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: And I was like, are you going to get a mask?
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: And she was like, no. And I was like, no.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I think we're on to something. This is my internal dialogue.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: We're on to something with Jimmy Fallon. You're joining us

• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: do a threesome together and get the shot. No, no, no.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 7: Wow. No.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Even the word threesome. I don't care what it is.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be involved.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 15: Group.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: Wow.

• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: wake up with Larry and Curtis in the morning at 6. Well,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: first off, we have to give salutations and greetings to
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: you and your other family at the Fox News Channel
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: because apparently... It's their 30th birthday.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 27: Think about that. Fox News is 30. 50 years from now,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 27: we'll be old enough to run for Congress. You look
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 27: at the milestones, you know, where does the time go?
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 27: So were you even birthed with the birth of Fox News?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 27: I was in, nobody likes a show off, but you
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 27: know this. I was going to Nassau Community College. I
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 27: was a freshman in college and I was getting ready
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 27: to watch the Yankees win the World Series. So there's
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 27: a lot of parallels between then and now, except this
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 27: whole Yankees winning the World Series thing. Aside from that,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 27: a lot of it feels the same.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Are there any plans what's going to happen at Fox
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: for the 30th?
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 27: Well, tomorrow is a massive building-wide party. So they're having
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 27: a town hall where they will address the entire company
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 27: will be there. And they'll kind of walk us through
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 27: the years.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: We added this. We did that. This show came. All
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: that jazz. And they feed you all day.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 27: So the one thing about Fox that I wish everybody
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 27: could spend five minutes experiencing this just once in their life,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 27: in that way, it really is like a big Italian family.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 27: Like they always feed you. They're like, it's election night.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 27: Catering's on the second floor. Snacks are on the fifth floor.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 27: They're always feeding you. And because of that social component,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 27: it feels like a well-dressed high school. I always explain
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 27: this to my friends. Okay, everybody thinks we're just there,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 27: you know, throwing darts at Obama posters, you know, but
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 27: you're actually, it's like a high school where, You know,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 27: in high school, you run into your best friends in
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 27: the hall for two minutes, the bell rings, you run
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 27: the class.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: That's Fox.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 27: But instead of running the class, you run to a
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 27: TV studio and then you throw the darts at Obama
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 27: right at him, you know, whatever. No, but the point is,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 27: it has a very communal vibe and it spills onto
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 27: the air. And that's why people watch it all day,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 27: because they feel like they're with their family. And they
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 27: are whenever somebody meets me and like, I feel like
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 27: I know you.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you do. You know, you can't you
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: wouldn't script this level of ridiculousness. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 27: And for that reason, the vibe around the building is
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 27: actually really good right now. And people are excited for tomorrow.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: Do they share the ratings with you? Yes. Do you
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: see time spent watching? Because you're right. People sit down
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: to watch Fox and they watch it for hours. Days, weeks.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 7: Is it really?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: You want to know my favorite? It's my favorite Fox thing. Okay.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 27: People will come up to me and they'll go, yo, man,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 27: when do you sleep? I saw you on Fox and
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 27: Friends first five in the morning. Then I saw you
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 27: on Hannity at 10 at night. And I'm like, yo, man, when.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: Do you sleep? Out of curiosity. Exactly.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 27: I'm like, this is my job. I come and go.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 27: I bounce back on and off the air.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Now, let me explain to you. You haven't quite figured
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: it out. Why to make sure that they have so
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: much food and so many snacks at the ready? Because
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: they don't want these guys sneaking out to the gin
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: mill across the street, knocking back a few and coming
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: back after the bag. Well, that's not working. Maybe they're
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: trying to sober us up.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: That is a corporate way of getting people to stay
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: in the building and to stay and work. You go
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: out to Palo Alto, you can get food all day.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: They have places to sleep. You can get your laundry done.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. A massage, too. Yeah, a massage. They haven't
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: provided that, have they? A little Chinese massage. Whoa, curse.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: Free flu shots, maybe?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Oh, you kids today. Now, let me give
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: you a little side story because I am somewhat responsible
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: for Fox News. I love this. So I get fired
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: at the old WABC with Lisa Angels in the morning.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: She goes her way. I go mine. Rudy calls me up.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: He's just been elected mayor of the city of New York.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: I want you to come over to WNYC, the public
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: radio station. Curtis, we own a radio station and a
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: TV station. We own the sticks. I want to be
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: able to sell it and showcase it. Bringing you over,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: I may get people to be able to listen that
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: are interested in buying. So I did seven months. It
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: was pure hell. They hated me there. The one benefit
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: is they ended up selling the TV stick. WNYC TV
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: to who? Roger Ailes, who negotiated it for Rupert Murdoch.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: And that's the stick that became the Fox News channel.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: It's because of me.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: He finds a way to take credit for everything. It's
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: pretty amazing. But you are the Wally Pip of television.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: You know, the Yankees had a first baseman. He took
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: a night off. And then Lou Gehrig played for 30
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: straight years. Curtis Wally Pips Lewa. Is there anyone at
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: Fox News that has been there for the entire 30 years?
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Steve Doocy. Lauren Green is there. Hannity. They're all 30. Well,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Lauren Green. I used to work with Lauren Green.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 27: And I do believe more, but off the top of
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 27: my head, those are the first three that come to
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 27: mind because I saw Steve and Lauren in the lobby
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 27: and Hannity because I sell counterfeit Hannity autographed footballs to
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 27: my friends around the holidays. So, you know, the rent
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 27: don't pay itself, guys. What are we doing here?
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: How does that go? Listen, you know, I, if, if
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: you can't answer this question, please don't answer. But what
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: is the relationship now between Fox news and Donald Trump?
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: It sounds like he's a little upset with you.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 27: I wish this is what I wish. I wish everybody
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 27: in the media ecosystem would acknowledge these moments and Because
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 27: they always say, like, you know, Fox is just running
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 27: a human shield for Trump. I'm like, dude, we wake
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 27: up to one of these anti-Fox tweet barrages, like, you know, two,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 27: three times a year.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: Somebody gets up to pee in the middle of the night.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: he's in a bad mood, and he's like, screw Tarloff,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: cover the rally. What are you guys doing?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 27: And I wish people would see this and understand that
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 27: that is the truth. Like, we are calling balls and strikes,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 27: and there's this misconception that our party is the Republican Party.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 27: I mean, the truth is our party is America. And
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 27: that's where so many people relate to us is the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 27: things we prioritize are human. They're not political.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: They're human. Crime and safety is very human. The border
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: is human. You know, affordability, stuff like that.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: Human.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Defund the police. Human.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 27: So what happens is at times. if we're not in
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 27: sync with what he might decide would be, you know,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 27: his preferred way of us tackling a particular news cycle,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 27: he lets us hear about it. But if you notice,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 27: I think what, what he was screaming about was like,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 27: we weren't covering his rallies or something like that. We
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 27: didn't break into nonstop rally coverage after that.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing you need to understand. And this
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: is the, maybe the distinction for him. Okay. Of course
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: we covered his rallies when he was the candidate. You
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 27: In a general election, You cover the Republican, you cover
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 27: the Democrat, you're on the campaign trail nonstop. Same with
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 27: the primary season in the general election. Okay, now you're
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 27: stumping for a congressional seat somewhere and you're doing 16
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 27: rallies a day.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: That's great. These seats matter, but we're not rally TV.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And we should clarify what
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: you're saying. When you say cover, you cover them. Yeah,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: of course. It's just you don't take them live.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 27: Yeah, you don't take them live for two hours. Or
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 27: three or four or more.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure there are times where they will because
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: there's news being made. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 27: But if it's just him calling CNN fake news and
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 27: doing the YMCA, I mean, we don't necessarily need the
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 27: full two hours. You know what I mean? It's like
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 27: the end of an NBA game. You know, it doesn't
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 27: get good until they start fouling each other. So when
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 27: we see the village people walk up, we're like, all right,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 27: we should break into coverage now.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: You've had an off and on. Fox News has had
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: an off and on relationship with Trump because he does
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: get upset with you every once in a while. Because
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: you started this, though, I will say that. You used
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: to have him on for hours. You do interviews and
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: I'd keep going back and I'm thinking, my God, is
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: he still on? Remember that when he first ran?
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: When he in 2016, it was really funny because it
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: was I remember watching this through the lens of Morning Joe.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: It was like he'd be doing a Fox. He'd be
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: calling the Fox and friends and just air it out.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: And it was good entertainment too. You know what I mean?
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Because it's getting personal. Here's a guy's phone number. Call
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: him up if you don't like him. It was good.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 27: And then on the other side, it was funny because
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 27: he was doing like the same thing on Morning Joe.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 27: They were having him on constantly. And then I saw
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 27: that strategic pivot, you know, because I didn't work at
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 27: Fox when this happened. I came on in 2017. But
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 27: I saw the immediate pivot after the election where Trump
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 27: had spent a summer on MSNBC.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: And the minute he won, they were like, Hitler! Hitler's
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: in the Oval Office!
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 27: I'm like, well, can you give Hitler his royalty check?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 27: Because Hitler had a show on your network for 15 years.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: Now, on that note, the last time we spoke to
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: you about some of the internal intrigue within the Fox
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: News Channel family. Happy birthday. Happy 30th birthday. Maria Bartiromo.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: What's she doing now? I knew nothing. What do you
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: mean you know nothing? She's down on her luck. She's
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: going to be fine. Wouldn't you love to be that
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: down on your luck? I mean, come on, man. Remember,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: we thought, oh, my God, she's going to become the
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: next press spokesperson for the Trump administration. And we see
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: now that somebody's gotten a new job at the Fox
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: News Channel. I love that.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 27: I happen to love Caroline Leavitt. You know what the
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 27: funniest thing about her announcing this new job? She obviously
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 27: left the White House press gig to say she has
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 27: another newborn kid. She wants to spend more time with
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 27: her kid. So, so many people, you know, there's people
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 27: that just read the news cycle for an angle, an
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 27: angle to be mad about. Let me show you why you're,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 27: you know, you're an idiot, you know.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 22: You're right.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 27: She said she was leaving because, you know, she wanted
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 27: to spend some more time with the kids. Now she's
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 27: going to work at Fox. Like, listen, I don't want
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 27: to let you stand completely behind the magician. But being
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 27: a Fox contributor who does TV for eight minutes a
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 27: night is a little bit less demanding than running the
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 27: White House press shop. Did you hear her hours? She
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 27: complained about it afterwards.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: I know. She was on the phone at like two
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: in the morning. And this isn't a normal White House.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 27: This is a guy who's firing off a statement at
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 27: 313 in the morning because he's watching the replay of
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 27: the Jets game, thinks it's live.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: They missed the field goal. Fire the coach. Now she's
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: got to get out of bed. The baby's crying. Good
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: for her.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Plus, she said the biggest mistake I made was giving
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: my personal cell phone number to the reporters.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Because they call all night long. All night long. Like
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: a Lionel Richie song. All night long.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 27: And there's no time at all for dancing on the
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 27: ceiling with that job.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get right to the talkbacks, because the
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: first one right off the bat is about Jimmy and
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: an event that he has coming up.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 7: Hey, Jimmy, big fan of the show. Look forward to
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 7: seeing you on the 28th at Kuchina's. Anyhow, I want
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: to hold your hand and do a flu shot.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 27: I got to tell you, the mayor sounds different on
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 27: the phone. I didn't know all the OR hosts get
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 27: the handhold.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: I'm honored. We have something in mind for you. Remember,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: that gentleman was talking about the night of comedy at
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Cucina Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey on October 28th. And
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: how can people get tickets? Well, let me tell you
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: that they added some tickets. He actually sold the thing out,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: but they've now added some tickets. So if you want
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: to go, you got to call today. You have to
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: call today because there's only a few tickets left. Jimmy's
• 1:24:28

• 1:24:31

• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: dinner buffet plus a meet and greet.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 7: Jimmy.

  Speaker 1: A few more. What'd you say? I said Jimmy. When
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: you say meet and greet, I always just finish and
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you a great story. Go ahead.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 12: Oh, good.

  Speaker 2: A few more seats have been made available, but they're
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: going to go fast. So make your reservation today. You
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: can get all the detailed tickets right now if you'd
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: like to at 710WOR. com slash Jimmy.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: How about it?
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 27: So really quick meet and greet. I'm wrapping up the
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 27: other night, Richmond, Virginia. I feel a vice grip on
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 27: my right butt cheek. A very strong, I assume it's
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 27: like an old woman with an arthritic hand that locked up.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 27: And then I hear a whisper in my ear. I
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 27: just got to know what a TV butt feels like.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 27: So I can't even see this person, but I go, well,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 27: I'm sorry if it wasn't the one you've been dreaming about.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: And I hear, oh, it was. I was like, oh, man. Well,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: this is so good.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Because it's the perfect lead in. Jimmy, you have a natural.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 21: Oh, no.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: You said he squeezed his butt cheek and he thought
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: of Zora Momdadi immediately.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Immediately. So, Jimmy, you have a national audience from coast
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: to coast. I'm known in New York, Connecticut, Larry in
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, Pennsylvania. So in honor of the fact that
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: we are now hitting the flu season, you're going to
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: be in this crowd, other crowds. You're going to get
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: a free flu shot holding hands with me, and I'll
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: hold Larry's hands. We'll do a threesome together as a
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: PSA here at 710WOR, the biggest talk radio station in
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: the nation, and you'll be a mensch, a double mensch
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: for helping so many people.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 27: I love the premise of this, okay? But as a
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 27: former cab driver, my immune system has interacted with germs
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 27: the flu's never heard of. OK, if you guys like
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 27: I don't mean to ruin the momentum here on the
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 27: get flu thing here. But if you really want to
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 27: protect yourself, guys, go down to Mott Street and eat it.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: Have some fried Chinese food. Two in the morning. That's
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: what happened to me with COVID. COVID ran out of
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: my body. It got in. It looked around.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 27: It was like, I don't feel safe. I don't know
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 27: what he's breathing in in that taxi, but I don't
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 27: feel safe.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: Also, whoa hop in the basement. If you really want
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: to mess with those waiters because they're nasty. You just
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: tell them, I'm here for a bowl of chop suey.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: What the hell is chop suey? When I was a kid,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: these places were called chop suey joints.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: And then they throw you out of Wohop. Throw you
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: right out of Wohop. But it's fun. No, I love it.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: I love all of this. Another talkback? Yeah, give it
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: to me. I love that. Love you. You know that.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm so grateful.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 5: For your help with thrift stores throughout the country, your
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: selection of your jackets and wardrobe are.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: Keeping them in business. However, you have to go up
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: to the next size if you're eating all that food
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: at Fox. But love you.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: I love you. I love you.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 27: You dress like a homeless woman and you're fat. I
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 27: love you. What aisle of a Hallmark store was that
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 27: card at?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never seen it before. But she's
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: suggesting that maybe a few shots, Charles Barkley's Ozempic.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 27: Won't happen, man. Listen, I am so concerned that I'd
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 27: be one of those people. You know the people who
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 27: lost the happiness in their face?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy. You know what
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: I mean? There's like that sort of face. You lose
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: too much weight too fast, and I wouldn't look like me.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 27: My whole hook as a TV host is that if
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 27: you're watching at home, I make you believe you could
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 27: get a TV show, too.
• 1:28:15

  Speaker 25: Police just released video and photos of the suspect in

  Speaker 25: hopes the public can identify him. It's unclear if the
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 25: victim and suspect knew each other. The victim is recovering
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 25: from injuries. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.

• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: to love to know that most people now don't think
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: that's very important anymore.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: We'll have that information. Jimmy failure. You go to sleep
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: with Jimmy. 9 to 12. Monday through Friday. Then you
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: wake up with Larry and me in the morning at 6.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: I want to take you back memory lane. Little club
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: called Pips. Sheepshead Bay opposite Lundy's and Randazzo's. Guy made
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: his debut, brought the house down within a year or two.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: He was the first comedian ever to sell out Madison
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: Square Garden. Two straight nights. It was called Dice Mania. Yep,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I was going to say the Dice Man. I had this.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: I had this. You had it. And I think you
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: had it too, Larry. I had it too, yep. 1989, 1990,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: nobody was bigger. The peak, what happened?
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 27: Well, the Dice Man, he was a cartoon character. So
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 27: we were in that tail end of 80s comedy where
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 27: a lot of people were playing, you know, insane versions
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 27: of themselves.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like, Roseanne was a character.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 27: You know, the housewife that hated her whole family. You know,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 27: the Dice Man was that. A guy kind of dressed
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 27: in costume. Sam was a screaming fire and brimstone preacher.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 27: And I think that was just the tail end of
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 27: the comedy boom, is all I think it was. I mean,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 27: the Dice Man remains, you know, revered in comedy circles.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 27: People love Dice. But he came out of Pips, which
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 27: the Garvey brothers who ran Pips over there in Brooklyn...
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 27: are iconic in their own right because Pips was a
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 27: hardcore room. Like Otto and George used to play Pips.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 27: And Otto and George, they were an X-rated ventriloquist act.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 27: And they did a lot of ethnic humor. And Otto
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 27: was such a good ventriloquist that one night he was
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 27: telling Puerto Rican jokes and a guy stabbed the puppet.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 27: The puppet was stabbed with a knife. That is a
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 27: true comedy story. Everybody knows it. But but do you
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 27: know what else? Just so if you want to bring
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 27: it full circle, since you gave Jimmy a comedy regents exam. OK,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 27: because what was I doing in 1989?
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: I was 13.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 27: I was staying up watching HBO. And then around midnight,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 27: I was hitting three and seven on the cable box
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 27: and trying to get scrambled Playboy in.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: The middle of the night. OK, that's what I was doing.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 27: So you know what I was doing before Scrambled Playboy
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 27: came on? I was watching Rodney Dangerfield's Young Comedian specials.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 27: And when they ended, that was in a roundabout way
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 27: the end of the boom. Carson went off the air
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 27: and you lost that Rodney platform because the Rodney platform
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 27: was a big deal. He used to have six comics on.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 27: And Dice hit on the Rodney special. So did Roseanne
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 27: Barr hit on the Rodney special. Because he had a
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 27: great five to seven minutes. He had the nursery rhymes, remember? Yes,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 27: it was great. A guy, Barry Sobel, who was in
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 27: the movie Punchline with Tom Hanks and Sally Field, was
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 27: a white guy who rapped. And that was a unique
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 27: thing in 1982. He wound up guest hosting like 30
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 27: Tonight shows and being in that Tom Hanks movie. So
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 27: a lot of people really blew up off that Rodney special.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 27: And when that went away, you lost that instant pop.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 27: And when Carson went away, it was gone for good.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: But some people were able to make a career over
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: that time. Others flamed out. You get five, seven minutes.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: You can be great.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: But when you have to do an hour of comedy.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 27: If you have the chops, you're fine. But the truth
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 27: is you need the repeated exposure. So guys, I mean,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 27: Freddie Prinze is a sad story, but he was on
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 27: The Tonight Show, 76, I believe it was, had the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 27: greatest sit we've ever seen. A month later, they gave
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 27: him Chico and the Man. And then, you know, he
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 27: was dead within a few years. Unfortunately, it was a
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 27: wild ride. But the point is, it could happen that
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 27: fast back then because the whole country was watching the
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 27: same thing. So if Carson had 50 million viewers and
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 27: you killed, you were famous to 50 million people. Conversely,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 27: now in a weeknight, Greg will win. Three million's a
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 27: lot nowadays. Gunfell gets three million. okay, on a good night,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 27: but understand that's 47 million smaller than what TV.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: Used to be. And with streaming, it seems like everybody
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: has a comedy special.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 27: It is so fragmented between, you know, there's 80, I mean, listen,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 27: I'm watching the Yankee games. Every inning, I have to
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 27: download a new app to watch. The Yankees are up.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 27: I think they're on Apple TV this inning. It's impossible.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 27: So no one's watching the same thing.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to this story about college because
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: you're sending a son off to college.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: Very proud moment for a father.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 14: Oh, Lincoln.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: Did you go up with him? Oh, yeah, I sure did.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: It was heavy.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 27: It was very emotional. We only have one kid. So
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 27: when we got him up there, we had a good,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 27: fun day of packing. But by the time we were leaving,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 27: we were upset.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: I was crying.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 27: I felt it. It was a good one. It was
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 27: actually a good one. It was very heavy for me.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 27: And I didn't have that experience. And Lincoln is.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: One kid.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: We have one kid because the state didn't want us
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: to have two. You know what I mean?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: They saw the first report card and they were like,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: get a dog, a couple of cats. You have a
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: debt to society. So it was heavy, but he's doing good.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: We're having fun. But yeah, I'm excited about this story.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: Explain this to me.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the lowest level ever in the history of
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: them taking the Gallup poll. And the question is, Is
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: college extremely important or very important? And right now, only 31%
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: of the youth, of people that are going to go
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: to college, say it's very important.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: I would agree with that because, you know, two things.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 27: One, people's appreciation for college flew out the window in
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 27: the last two years because of all of this garbage
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 27: Gaza-free Palestine protest stuff. You know, all of the tents
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 27: on the quad, you know, all of the anti-Semitic stuff
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 27: we've seen out of these universities and these professors. So
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 27: I think on that level, the Ivy Leagues have tarnished
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 27: their reputation because everybody thinks they're like a one note
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 27: indoctrination factory. Then there's this other reality that the student debt,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 27: regardless of what school you're going to, isn't always coming
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 27: with a commensurate job to go with it. So you're
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 27: paying a mortgage, but you don't actually have a house,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 27: let alone a job to furnish that house. So I
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 27: think there's a degree of that just the same. But
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 27: then I think the third reality. And I hear Mike
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 27: Rowe talk about this all the time. The guys working
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 27: trades are making the most money now. And so it's
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 27: hard to justify $ 100, 000 worth of overhead. You can go
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 27: to DeVry, get your toolkit, and go be an electrician
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 27: or a plumber. Heaven forbid you get in a union.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 27: You're making a lot of money. And you're making more
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 27: money than doctors because they have so much debt. So
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 27: the only real reason, and I do mean this, some
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 27: kids need to go away and grow on their own,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 27: live beyond their parents. And then those other 31% of
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 27: kids who still think college is important It's because they
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 27: haven't learned how to drink yet.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: You know? How is this going to do that for you?
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Why didn't you follow
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: the guy? Remember, he used to be an iconic figure
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: on TV, Apex. The guy, the bald guy. You could
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: do refrigerator maintenance. Yes, Apex Tech. Heat installation, right? You
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: get your pelvis. You go there. Whatever you didn't learn
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: in high school or Nassau Community College will give you
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: a trade. You never went that route, did you? No,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: I was taking police tests. You're going to laugh.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 27: I got hired by the Port Authority and the NYPD
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 27: because both my brothers are cops. So everybody in our
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 27: family takes the police tests, every male member. My dad
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 27: was a cop 43 years. Both of my brothers, city cops.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 27: My uncle, nine of my cousins. I am the only
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 27: male member of my family who is not a cop.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 27: That's a true story. And I would have been a
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 27: cop if it weren't for this thing called a background check.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: You know, once I heard about that during the application process,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I'm going to get out
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: of here.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: That is so ridiculous that they didn't even do a
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: background check to be a cop.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: It was different back then.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 27: But I will never, because by the time I got
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 27: hired by the Port Authority, I got hired. I was
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 27: an open mic comedian by then. And I was like,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 27: I don't need your health care and your benefits. I'm
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 27: making $ 3, 700 a year. You know what I mean?
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: Come on, man. I'm performing at a ground round tonight
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: in Parsippany. You're living the good life.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: And one last thing I want to say about this
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: poll that we just did a second ago, and this
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: is the reason sometimes I hate headlines.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, 31% think it's very important. Well, 39% think it's
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: fairly important.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: So you've got 70% of the people out there that
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: still think it's important.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: But the lead is, nobody cares about power anymore.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: But that, of course, is not the headline. It was
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: great to have you with us today. That was wonderful.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Well, up next. Oh, wait, you're staying with us here. Bonus, fella. Hey, Russia, Putin, Siberia,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: they've got that fatal case of pneumonic plague. Hey, the
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: president said it's just pneumonia.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: Are you worried, Jimmy? We'll find out up next. Oh, ties. No, Jimmy,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: don't fail me now. You can hear him every night,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, 9 to 12. You go to sleep
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: with Jimmy, wake up with Larry and Curtis in the
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: morning at 6. Putin is dealing with a, I would
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: call it a severe problem, mnemonic plague. Sounds intense, right?
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: Woman dies in a lab. 200 others are now kept
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: in a hospital.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 19: Sheesh.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: Quarantined. The president just said, nah, it's just severe pneumonia.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: What do you think? I mean, you know more about
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: this guy Putin than the rest of us combined, right?
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 27: Yeah, well, I've read up on it, and they're saying,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 27: in terms of the plague, they're putting it at nine
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 27: on a scale of one to Taco Bell lettuce. So
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 27: let's not just flush this one down the toilet.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: The story matters.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 27: What I was reading last night, okay, is that if
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 27: it is actual plague, It is treatable with antibiotics, which
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 27: we have a lot of in this country. What the
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 27: actual detail that we need to find out, and Russia
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 27: is not the most forthright country in the world when
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 27: it comes to revealing information that might be embarrassing to them,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 27: is that if this was some type of manufactured version
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 27: of a plague, then it might be resistant to certain antibiotics.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 27: So if it's plague, because they were studying plague and
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 27: making a bioweapon, let's be clear, we can deal with it.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: But if it's a.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 27: New plague that we're not familiar with yet, if it's
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 27: not original recipe plague, then things get interesting.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, there's seven cases of pneumonic plague
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: a year in this country. And what you said is perfectly,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: is exactly true. that it's treatable. You can beat it
• 1:41:49
