Highlights of Curtis & Larry · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, yesterday we got that alert from the National Weather
0:02
Speaker 1: Service that parts of our area would see two to
0:05
Speaker 1: three inches of rain, and just listening to Raised stagic
0:10
Speaker 1: a moment ago, a lot hasn't changed. There are still
0:14
Speaker 1: flash flood warnings for the area. Severe thunderstorms may happen.
0:19
Speaker 1: So let's dig down and get an extended forecast now
0:23
Speaker 1: from Raised stagic Ra sed agic Woor Weather Channel meteorologist
0:28
Speaker 1: Ray thanks a lot for spending some time with us
0:30
Speaker 1: this morning. So what are we looking at all?
0:33
Speaker 2: Right, Well, let's dive in. First, let's separate watch from
0:37
Speaker 2: warning because you mentioned flash flood warnings. There's no flash
0:39
Speaker 2: flood warnings right now. It is a watch and that'll
0:42
Speaker 2: start at two o'clock this afternoon. So the watch means
0:45
Speaker 2: the potential is there for flooding. Now, when we get
0:48
Speaker 2: to a warning and an advisory, which we might, that's
0:52
Speaker 2: when flooding is emined, ore is occurring, and I think
0:54
Speaker 2: later today and especially this evening and especially north central Jersey,
0:59
Speaker 2: Central Jersey, I think that's where the greatest risk is
1:02
Speaker 2: going to Because the flood watch goes only through the
1:05
Speaker 2: five Burroughs, doesn't get up into Rockland in Westchester counties.
1:10
Speaker 2: So there's going to be a cutoff to where we
1:12
Speaker 2: get the worst of the rain and where we do
1:15
Speaker 2: get the highest severe weather risk. I hope all that
1:17
Speaker 2: makes sense.
1:18
Speaker 3: So our producer Natalie is at home recovering from her
1:21
Speaker 3: knee surgery. I've advised her and her family start filling
1:25
Speaker 3: the sand bags and get the gondola ready because they've
1:29
Speaker 3: been clobbered in New Jersey. I think they've been seven
1:32
Speaker 3: cases of flooding in New Jersey since Memorial Day weekend.
1:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, the month of July for New York City had
1:41
Speaker 2: a record amount of flash flood warnings issue. I remember
1:45
Speaker 2: the warnings mean flooding eminent or is occurring. So yeah,
1:49
Speaker 2: North Jersey been hit exceptionally hard to with multiple inches
1:53
Speaker 2: of rain. But here is a question, and let's see
1:57
Speaker 2: who's the smarter of the bunch or the smarter a bunch.
2:01
Speaker 2: Here we go, meteorological question. How much rain do you
2:07
Speaker 2: think that we have received this month? And are we
2:13
Speaker 2: in a deficit for the gear or are we in
2:15
Speaker 2: a surplus for the year. Now, this is for Central Park,
2:18
Speaker 2: where we officially measure.
2:20
Speaker 3: We wait to say, Natalie, you can't answer, I can't answer.
2:24
Speaker 3: We have our own weather guy here. Who is the
2:26
Speaker 3: weather man in San Diego for years?
2:32
Speaker 4: No?
2:32
Speaker 5: No, but let's face it, our weather guy is right here.
2:36
Speaker 5: That's what I meant it.
2:39
Speaker 1: I was a weather guy in San Diego. That doesn't count.
2:43
Speaker 2: You know what.
2:43
Speaker 5: You know?
2:44
Speaker 1: My message machine said, Ray, it said, this is the
2:47
Speaker 1: KFMB weather department. If you're looking for a meteorologist, you
2:51
Speaker 1: might want to try another station, another market.
2:55
Speaker 2: Right, how about this, let's dumb it down for you, Larry.
2:59
Speaker 2: Let's say, how about of the year. What would you
3:01
Speaker 2: think since the first of January? Will we have a
3:03
Speaker 2: surplus or do we have a deficit in terms of
3:07
Speaker 2: rainfall at Central Park at the record?
3:10
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know Central Park. I knew New Jersey,
3:12
Speaker 1: though I knew okay, New Jersey. New Jersey is slightly under,
3:17
Speaker 1: but they may go over. They're definitely gonna go over
3:20
Speaker 1: pretty soon. But they were slightly under. I think I
3:23
Speaker 1: think it was about twenty seven inches for the year.
3:27
Speaker 2: So at Newark almost twenty six inches since January first.
3:32
Speaker 2: That's liquid equivalent, and believe it or not a deficit
3:35
Speaker 2: of liquid with a nine inches, Well, since January first,
3:39
Speaker 2: there was probably some snow in there. So it's melted down.
3:41
Speaker 2: You know, you non meteorologists types Slint, Larry and I
3:44
Speaker 2: have this conversation of your meteorologists isn't quotes, by the way,
3:51
Speaker 2: so yeah.
3:52
Speaker 1: I know, I get it. Don't even listen, and you're
3:54
Speaker 1: not going to understand the meteorological talking.
3:56
Speaker 2: Yes, in New York City Central and in Newark it's
4:01
Speaker 2: actually just above four inches in the hole for the year.
4:04
Speaker 2: And this is just kind of that. The lesson here is,
4:08
Speaker 2: you know, the variability of when we get these flash
4:11
Speaker 2: flood events, like it may be at Natalie's house and
4:13
Speaker 2: that part of Central Jersey in one case, but you
4:16
Speaker 2: know somebody else's house, Larry, maybe your house. You don't
4:19
Speaker 2: get anything. So when you get these events with these
4:22
Speaker 2: flash flood risks, it doesn't mean for everybody. The watch
4:25
Speaker 2: is defined as in and around the watch area, and
4:29
Speaker 2: it means the potential for flooding. When you get into
4:31
Speaker 2: the warnings, they're only even for a borough or a
4:34
Speaker 2: couple of boroughs or maybe a few counties. You notice
4:37
Speaker 2: that a lot of times you don't get you know,
4:40
Speaker 2: every county in the tri State under a flash flood warning,
4:44
Speaker 2: something like that would happen in that bigger event like
4:46
Speaker 2: we had back a couple of weeks ago, especially through
4:48
Speaker 2: upstate New York.
4:49
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. I appreciate you, Ray, because you
4:52
Speaker 1: might be the only weather person I've ever talked to
4:55
Speaker 1: the downplays every event and everybody else you never want.
5:00
Speaker 1: You'd never get a TV jump.
5:03
Speaker 2: And I don't want one.
5:04
Speaker 1: Trust me.
5:06
Speaker 5: One last thing.
5:08
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, my uncle would say, it's
5:11
Speaker 3: good that we have a lot of snow because we
5:12
Speaker 3: used to have a lot of snow snowpack, and that
5:15
Speaker 3: goes into the reservoir system. That means we'll have water
5:18
Speaker 3: through the drought season of the summer. We don't get
5:21
Speaker 3: the snowpack like we used to.
5:23
Speaker 2: No, there's been a trend toward less snow. I don't
5:26
Speaker 2: even want to get into what's going to happen this
5:29
Speaker 2: super El Nino winter. That's a song for another time.
5:32
Speaker 2: But who knows. I mean, it's been trending a lot
5:36
Speaker 2: less snow, and there may be an opportunity. I'll just
5:40
Speaker 2: say this for more coastal events. That doesn't mean it's
5:44
Speaker 2: going to be rain and or snow. It could mean
5:46
Speaker 2: more rain, could mean more snow, But an El Nino
5:49
Speaker 2: winter typically it's a little bit more active southern jet stream.
5:54
Speaker 2: You know what the jet stream is, right everybody?
5:56
Speaker 6: You know?
5:58
Speaker 5: Of course, no.
6:00
Speaker 2: Further south, some of our southern states may have an
6:03
Speaker 2: opportunity to get more snow than they would in a
6:06
Speaker 2: typical winter in an al Ninia winteress. I don't know
6:09
Speaker 2: what this super hype super El Nino thing is gonna do.
6:12
Speaker 2: And you know me, I don't want to go beyond
6:14
Speaker 2: three days with any kind of comfort at all. Just
6:16
Speaker 2: take a look at last hurricane season. I'll always point
6:19
Speaker 2: to that was supposed to be this big, above average
6:21
Speaker 2: season and that didn't happen. So seasonal forecasting, my message
6:24
Speaker 2: is extremely tough. It's based on climatology, what's happened in
6:28
Speaker 2: the past, and a pretty good chance that if you
6:30
Speaker 2: take any given like three or four Al Ninio winters,
6:34
Speaker 2: most of them are probably going to be slightly above
6:37
Speaker 2: average here in the East in terms of the Northeast
6:39
Speaker 2: in terms of temperature, and maybe slightly above average in
6:42
Speaker 2: terms of precipt. Doesn't at all mean if that's rain
6:44
Speaker 2: and or snow or a combination of both.
6:47
Speaker 1: Well, Ray, if you can join us again at eight
6:51
Speaker 1: oh five, that would be great so we can get
6:53
Speaker 1: an update on the weather. And would also like to
6:55
Speaker 1: delve into your absolute bias against TV meteorologists, because I
7:01
Speaker 1: think I think that's worth talking about, Like, well, I
7:06
Speaker 1: would never do that.
7:08
Speaker 2: I love my meteorologists, do you really? Yeah, I just
7:12
Speaker 2: don't want to be one.
7:15
Speaker 5: Well, you don't have a face. You don't have a
7:17
Speaker 5: face for TV.
7:19
Speaker 1: I've met him, I've seen him.
7:21
Speaker 2: You.
7:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been here.
7:23
Speaker 7: Why are you.
7:24
Speaker 5: Going on the plus side with this guy?
7:25
Speaker 1: He's always so.
7:26
Speaker 5: Well, all right, we'll get back to you an eight.
7:32
Speaker 3: But anyway, let's get to the chaos and just well,
7:38
Speaker 3: you're packing up to take his son to college and
7:41
Speaker 3: nothing's gone right so far?
7:42
Speaker 1: Am I right?
7:43
Speaker 5: Larry?
7:43
Speaker 1: No, nothing's gone right. But maybe that's because my entire
7:47
Speaker 1: family left me and went down the shore and I'm
7:50
Speaker 1: just have to deal with everything by myself. Maybe that's
7:53
Speaker 1: part of the reason. Can I nickname you calamity?
7:55
Speaker 5: Larry?
7:57
Speaker 3: I mean everything that you planned yesterday you would telling
8:00
Speaker 3: us about.
8:00
Speaker 5: I was thrilled.
8:02
Speaker 1: I thought I had it all set I did. I
8:05
Speaker 1: was way ahead of it. I made I won't say
8:08
Speaker 1: the name of the rental company because it should I okay, enterprise.
8:15
Speaker 1: So I made a reservation for either a large SUV
8:21
Speaker 1: or a mini van.
8:22
Speaker 5: So yes to pick up, pick it up.
8:29
Speaker 1: Because we have to go to an event later today.
8:31
Speaker 1: I made it for yesterday. I can pick it up.
8:35
Speaker 1: I just haven't sit at my house and would leave, uh,
8:38
Speaker 1: you know, sometime tonight or if forget what time exactly,
8:41
Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow morning. But and then we're gonna fly back.
8:45
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave it off in Raleigh. I get to
8:47
Speaker 1: the smart I go to the rental place and they said,
8:52
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we don't have anything like that. We we
8:55
Speaker 1: can get a pickup truck if you'd like, or maybe
8:57
Speaker 1: a large car, but all the s UV's and all
9:00
Speaker 1: the mini vans have been taken because of people moving
9:05
Speaker 1: back to college. And I said, well, I'm moving back
9:07
Speaker 1: to college. My kids are moving back to college. Is
9:11
Speaker 1: there a special class because I should be involved in that.
9:14
Speaker 1: And they said, no, we they do this to us
9:16
Speaker 1: all the time. You you make your reservation online and
9:20
Speaker 1: they don't check with us. But we haven't had we
9:23
Speaker 1: haven't had a car that size all week. Can you
9:26
Speaker 1: imagine that?
9:27
Speaker 5: Did they have a pickup truck for you?
9:29
Speaker 1: They did have a pickup. I'm not taking up. Come on,
9:32
Speaker 1: I'm not taking a pickup truck because if it starts
9:34
Speaker 1: to Raine, what I have to do get a tarp.
9:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what we do Tema, Texas.
9:42
Speaker 1: All Right, you country boys can get your You can
9:47
Speaker 1: go ahead and get your pickup truck. I'm not driving
9:50
Speaker 1: a pickup truck. Plus I got four people in the car.
9:53
Speaker 8: But I have to go back to this so you
9:56
Speaker 8: can actually make a reservation for a car. You request
9:59
Speaker 8: the car, a car you want, you go and they
10:02
Speaker 8: don't have it, and they say, ooh.
10:03
Speaker 5: Sorry, then why are you even reserving it?
10:05
Speaker 1: I know, I don't understand the process. And the local
10:08
Speaker 1: people said it happens to them all the time. But
10:10
Speaker 1: I will say this, when my my wife called and
10:13
Speaker 1: complained to them yesterday and said, you know you have
10:16
Speaker 1: to you should get us something, and they said, we'll
10:19
Speaker 1: give you two free rentals in the future because we
10:22
Speaker 1: really apologize. And they said she can use it anytime
10:25
Speaker 1: you want. And so I called them back and said,
10:27
Speaker 1: can I use it Friday because that's when I need it.
10:33
Speaker 1: So they yeah, they took back the anytime you want.
10:37
Speaker 1: That wasn't going to happen. Yeah, but it's crazy out
10:40
Speaker 1: there because of kids going back to school. So and
10:42
Speaker 1: I just I just fell prey to it. Go to
10:45
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talk back about
10:47
Speaker 1: anything we talked about today. You could win a courteous
10:50
Speaker 1: lee when Larry MENTI in the Morning t shirt, which
10:52
Speaker 1: will you award it every day to our favorite talk
10:54
Speaker 1: back of the morning if you want to go ahead,
10:57
Speaker 1: like Ray Stage, I can blast TV meteorologists. Go ahead
11:00
Speaker 1: or who's your favorite? And while you're on the free
11:03
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset for seven
11:05
Speaker 1: to ten wor Also, don't forget the best talkback of
11:09
Speaker 1: the week takes on the sea Crane Radio. Sea crane
11:12
Speaker 1: radios that work when it matters most the feat New
11:16
Speaker 1: York's Knew Wake Up Call.
11:17
Speaker 5: Curtius Leewa and Larry Minty in the Morning on sevent
11:21
Speaker 5: ten wr.
11:24
Speaker 3: Hey Data Filing Centers that Larry first bought to everyone's attention.
11:29
Speaker 5: Here.
11:30
Speaker 3: Only time I heard it on talk radio was when
11:33
Speaker 3: Larry talked about all the meetings that were taking place
11:36
Speaker 3: from Vinelin right throughout northern New Jersey town hall meetings.
11:42
Speaker 3: People were enraged at the fact that there was a
11:45
Speaker 3: noise that was coming from the data filing centers, their
11:49
Speaker 3: use of electricity, raising uprates, and the use of water,
11:53
Speaker 3: and people wanted answers and answers. So the industry sent
11:57
Speaker 3: out Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank, who was gonna have
12:00
Speaker 3: the biggest STATI filing center in Utah, and he crashed
12:03
Speaker 3: and burned.
12:05
Speaker 5: He goes, what noise.
12:07
Speaker 3: And people say, I'm a mile away, what do you
12:09
Speaker 3: think this is, Kevin? And then locally Steve Moore did
12:13
Speaker 3: exactly the same thing. What noise, what noise? So people
12:16
Speaker 3: were really enraged. Now as we come to the congressional
12:21
Speaker 3: elections in the midterms, which will determine who is the
12:24
Speaker 3: next Speaker of the House, whether it remains Johnson or
12:27
Speaker 3: jakeem Jeffries, there are two hundred data centers being built
12:31
Speaker 3: in dozens of competitive house districts and the industry means
12:36
Speaker 3: a lifeline. And apparently the President of the United States
12:40
Speaker 3: has said, move over, Kevin O'Leary, move over, Steven Moore.
12:43
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you why we need AI and
12:46
Speaker 3: data filing centers to help spur that industry.
12:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, he certainly has been out in front in this
12:52
Speaker 1: Now for a while, but this is what he says
12:56
Speaker 1: when he's trying to sell these AI centers. And by
12:59
Speaker 1: the way, before I play all this, you have to
13:00
Speaker 1: realize he wants to stay ahead of China and Russia
13:04
Speaker 1: and our adversaries on this. And you know, he also
13:08
Speaker 1: knows it's great for the economy.
13:10
Speaker 9: Your community and your state's going to become rich and
13:13
Speaker 9: there's very little disruption. And again, if you don't take
13:17
Speaker 9: all that money, somebody else is going to take it,
13:20
Speaker 9: you might as well do it yourselves.
13:21
Speaker 1: So we've rose three points there, and I agree with
13:24
Speaker 1: the first one and the last one as far as
13:27
Speaker 1: the disruption, mister president, And I will say this to
13:31
Speaker 1: everybody that's listening right now. I would go to YouTube
13:36
Speaker 1: and just put in community AI disruption and you're going
13:42
Speaker 1: to hear a lot of people, and you'll hear some
13:44
Speaker 1: examples of the noise it makes and the fact that
13:48
Speaker 1: electricity bills went up. But now Trump is taking this
13:52
Speaker 1: so seriously. Let me talk about the electricity right yet first,
13:55
Speaker 1: because he talked about the electricity yesterday as well and
14:00
Speaker 1: said now they are pushing for them to come up
14:03
Speaker 1: with their own electric generators.
14:06
Speaker 9: They're actually giving the excess electricity into the grid. But
14:09
Speaker 9: they're building power plants that nobody's ever seen anything like it.
14:12
Speaker 9: We're not using the power from the grid, we're using
14:15
Speaker 9: a brand new power So it's a great thing.
14:17
Speaker 2: All right.
14:17
Speaker 1: That's fair if they were able to do that.
14:20
Speaker 5: That's not happening now.
14:21
Speaker 1: No, But I'm what I'm saying, if that would happen,
14:23
Speaker 1: if you make that part of the requirements to put
14:26
Speaker 1: up an AI center, that you get your own generator,
14:30
Speaker 1: and that you give back the excess electricity to the community,
14:34
Speaker 1: that's fair. There's still some other problems, but that's fair.
14:37
Speaker 1: That doesn't eliminate the noise, and it doesn't eliminate the
14:40
Speaker 1: water problem. But this might all be moot because now
14:43
Speaker 1: he's looking for federal legislation.
14:46
Speaker 9: We want to have it regulation where they can continue
14:49
Speaker 9: to lead, not regulation that's going to stifle a very
14:53
Speaker 9: important industry I think, maybe bigger than the Internet, bigger
14:56
Speaker 9: than anything anyone's seen.
14:57
Speaker 5: Can't get that all done before November. Before and here's
15:01
Speaker 5: the latest survey.
15:03
Speaker 3: People would rather see a nuclear power plant built in
15:06
Speaker 3: their neighborhood than an AI data filing center.
15:09
Speaker 7: You know, for years people no, no, no, nuclear power plan. No, no,
15:13
Speaker 7: no no. And even though the quiet storm here Chris
15:17
Speaker 7: on loan from Mark Simone is the gen Z product here.
15:22
Speaker 7: Gen Zers want Ai more than any other age group.
15:25
Speaker 7: Except even they say, but not in my backyard, absolutely
15:29
Speaker 7: not in my backyard. I don't want those filing centers.
15:31
Speaker 7: They got to learn how to put a muffler on
15:33
Speaker 7: those filing centers. Now, you would think with all the technology,
15:37
Speaker 7: with all the science available, they would figure out how
15:40
Speaker 7: to deal with that incessant hum instead of ignoring it,
15:44
Speaker 7: in denying it. Because that's the number one complaint that
15:47
Speaker 7: is coming from people.
15:47
Speaker 1: And there's an easy answer to that, a really easy answer.
15:51
Speaker 1: Don't put it in communities. We have industrial centers, and
15:56
Speaker 1: we've dealt with this problem with other industries. They go
15:58
Speaker 1: to an industrial center, they open it up there. We
16:01
Speaker 1: have a lot of open space. Open it up there.
16:03
Speaker 1: The only reason it's going in communities right now, it's
16:06
Speaker 1: only one reason is because they want to put these
16:09
Speaker 1: in fast. Because they know there's going to be a
16:11
Speaker 1: bubble that's going to burst and not everybody's going to survive,
16:14
Speaker 1: So they want these in now so they can make
16:17
Speaker 1: their money now on the manufacturing and on the jobs
16:21
Speaker 1: that are created and all the people that are gonna
16:23
Speaker 1: get paid off for a day AI center that may
16:26
Speaker 1: not be needed in a year and a half because
16:28
Speaker 1: they're not all going to be needed.
16:30
Speaker 5: Well.
16:30
Speaker 3: Speaking of AI, another survey, fifty percent of US adults
16:34
Speaker 3: use AI chatbots like our own quiet storm. Chris gen
16:40
Speaker 3: Z again uses chatbots more than any other group. Forty
16:44
Speaker 3: eight percent have conversations with AI chatbots on the job
16:49
Speaker 3: that are not about work.
16:51
Speaker 1: That's weird.
16:52
Speaker 3: So what, Chris, who are you conversing with your chat
16:56
Speaker 3: bot day? When you're here at work and I notice
16:59
Speaker 3: you're sitting there? What are you talking about with your checkbot?
17:02
Speaker 5: I do not use AI frequently.
17:05
Speaker 10: Oh, here you are? You're doing a doctor fauci here?
17:08
Speaker 10: What are you gonna take the I promise I don't
17:10
Speaker 10: use it that often. Wait a second, this alleged girlfriend
17:15
Speaker 10: is it AI?
17:18
Speaker 1: I was hanging out with yesterday AI.
17:21
Speaker 10: Yes, I was hanging out with AI in mcaren Park
17:25
Speaker 10: in Boklyn yesterday.
17:26
Speaker 5: Yes, remember your phone.
17:29
Speaker 3: Yes, we are proudly part of this corporate combine largest
17:34
Speaker 3: radio divisions in the world. iHeart that is pledged. AI
17:39
Speaker 3: is actual intelligence. They will never use artificial intelligence. Get
17:44
Speaker 3: that straight, Christmaster, quite Master gen Z, I'm on board.
17:48
Speaker 3: That's in my my email, so I'm good. Well, anyway
17:52
Speaker 3: up next melanoma. Oh my god, you would hear melanoma.
17:55
Speaker 3: You would think, God, that could be a death sentence
17:59
Speaker 3: so many people. I'll tell you the story when I
18:01
Speaker 3: first heard about it a long time ago and just
18:04
Speaker 3: couldn't understand it. And now potentially this is a vaccine
18:08
Speaker 3: that everybody's gonna want to get it.
18:10
Speaker 5: I guarantee you this RFK Junior.
18:12
Speaker 3: They were gonna say, no, no, no, no, I want
18:15
Speaker 3: this vaccine because it may actually stop melanoma in its tracks.
18:21
Speaker 1: I think, and perfectly imperfect.
18:24
Speaker 5: Curtis Leewa and Larry Minty in the Morning Guaranteed Human.
18:29
Speaker 5: On seven tenor.
18:33
Speaker 3: The other night, there was the debate in South Carolina
18:38
Speaker 3: in reference to who will be the Republican candidate that
18:41
Speaker 3: will be in the general election to replace Lindsey Graham
18:46
Speaker 3: who passed away. As you know, was the idea President
18:49
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, why not let the interim US senator be
18:53
Speaker 3: his sister, Darlene Graham. And then there was a whole
18:58
Speaker 3: movement to say, no, no, no, let's make her the
19:00
Speaker 3: permitting candidate to run for office so that she can
19:05
Speaker 3: serve a six year term, and so she was running
19:09
Speaker 3: against one of the Freedom Caucus candidates, long term congressman, uh,
19:15
Speaker 3: you know, very conservative. But then I guess it was
19:17
Speaker 3: the question about national security, and by it was quite
19:23
Speaker 3: a fumble on her part.
19:24
Speaker 4: Senator, Are Taiwan in the South China Sea national security
19:29
Speaker 4: issues for the United States? If so, why, I'm sorry,
19:34
Speaker 4: could you repeat the question, Are Taiwan and the South
19:36
Speaker 4: China Sea national security issues for the United States? And
19:40
Speaker 4: if so, why or how? I'm just going to be
19:44
Speaker 4: honest to you. I'm not on national security that I'm
19:47
Speaker 4: not that informed on national security, so.
19:52
Speaker 1: But I do support the military.
19:56
Speaker 3: You notice the crowd is showing respect because she, you know,
20:00
Speaker 3: it's the sister of the past Lindsey Graham. But I
20:03
Speaker 3: think even they were a bit shocked at the fact
20:06
Speaker 3: that she would say national security is not my thing.
20:09
Speaker 5: Pretty much.
20:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta believe that's going to cost her in
20:12
Speaker 3: a Republican primary where even if Lindsey Graham had been
20:16
Speaker 3: running when he was alive, many people thought in South
20:19
Speaker 3: Carolina he wasn't conservative enough.
20:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was still going to win in South
20:24
Speaker 1: Carolina pretty easily, and I think she is still going
20:28
Speaker 1: to win just because there's such good feeling for her.
20:31
Speaker 1: She was ahead in the polls, but she didn't get
20:33
Speaker 1: fifty percent in the primary. That's why there's a runoff election.
20:37
Speaker 1: And that's what this debate was all about with Representative
20:40
Speaker 1: Ralph Norman. And You're right, this is just not a
20:43
Speaker 1: good answer.
20:44
Speaker 4: I'm just going to be honest to you. I'm not
20:46
Speaker 4: on national security that I'm not that informed on national security.
20:51
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I don't blame her as much
20:55
Speaker 1: as I blame her staff. Isn't there a debate prep?
20:58
Speaker 1: How long were they prepping for this? You know? I
21:01
Speaker 1: that had to be on somebody that was telling going,
21:05
Speaker 1: you've been in debates? Sure, and so you go through.
21:09
Speaker 1: And I worked for a guy who was in the
21:11
Speaker 1: Reagan debates. See he came up with the line there
21:14
Speaker 1: you go again and one other great line Miles Martel.
21:18
Speaker 1: I was an intern on his book when he wrote
21:22
Speaker 1: it about debating and the debate prep is intense. It
21:26
Speaker 1: is I can imagine intense.
21:28
Speaker 8: And so to URTIs Larry, I know you've been on
21:33
Speaker 8: the other side of the debate, I don't think you've
21:35
Speaker 8: been on the debate.
21:37
Speaker 1: I was with the I was on the stage.
21:40
Speaker 8: Right exactly prep for someone who's never been part of
21:44
Speaker 8: it at all, like this woman. She's never been on
21:46
Speaker 8: either side. I mean, I can't even imagine what it
21:49
Speaker 8: must have been like. Well, I don't know how you
21:52
Speaker 8: can absorb that.
21:52
Speaker 3: All I think is just this confidence that because it's
21:56
Speaker 3: nepotism here, and she was chosen President Donald Trump, who's
22:01
Speaker 3: very popular in South Carolina. You know, let's not put
22:06
Speaker 3: too much on her plate, which is a problem in
22:09
Speaker 3: debate preparation too, when you put too much on somebody's plate. Now,
22:13
Speaker 3: she's not She's not the only one to fumble on Taiwan.
22:16
Speaker 3: She won't be the first nor the last. But our
22:19
Speaker 3: own AOC all out crazy Alexandrio Cassio Cortes, in her
22:24
Speaker 3: first foreign visit to members of the European Union, was
22:29
Speaker 3: asked pretty much that same question, yeah, by a reporter,
22:32
Speaker 3: would and should the US actually commit US troops to
22:37
Speaker 3: defend Taiwan if China were to move? You know, I
22:42
Speaker 3: think that.
22:45
Speaker 4: This is such a you know, I think that.
22:50
Speaker 1: This is a.
22:53
Speaker 2: This is of course, a very long standing.
22:58
Speaker 3: Policy of the United States.
23:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I think a more honest answer
23:03
Speaker 1: was from Graham, who said, I'm not that informed on
23:06
Speaker 1: the history.
23:07
Speaker 5: Going what is it about Taiwan?
23:10
Speaker 8: Foremost, seriously, if I'm prepping anyone for a debate right
23:14
Speaker 8: now and they're like, Okay, we're gonna talk Taiwan right now.
23:17
Speaker 5: Well they did?
23:17
Speaker 1: You know they should have. You just said, it's way
23:20
Speaker 1: too much to absorb it the way they do it.
23:22
Speaker 1: It's not you just have to have an answer. You
23:24
Speaker 1: just have to be able to say, this is where
23:27
Speaker 1: I stand in Taiwan. That's why you see so many
23:29
Speaker 1: people in debates pivot because they can't answer the direct
23:32
Speaker 1: question I ask something about it. Probably then they go
23:35
Speaker 1: to that answer.
23:36
Speaker 3: Probably the biggest faux pas I ever saw, because it
23:40
Speaker 3: turned out to be an extraordinarily close election, was the
23:44
Speaker 3: governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter, very bright, you know, very knowledgeable,
23:49
Speaker 3: against the sitting president Gerald Ford, who had been Speaker
23:52
Speaker 3: of the House and then elevated because of Watergate and
23:56
Speaker 3: Nixon leaving office. Is their second debate and October in
24:00
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six, and for some reason, our commander in chief,
24:05
Speaker 3: Gerald Ford, who might have gotten hit in the head
24:07
Speaker 3: a few too many times. When he was wearing that
24:09
Speaker 3: leather helmet playing for the University of Michigan, he said,
24:13
Speaker 3: there is no here we have it.
24:14
Speaker 1: You want to hear it?
24:15
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I don't believe, mister Franco, that the Yugoslaviians
24:20
Speaker 6: consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. I don't believe
24:25
Speaker 6: that the Romanians consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union.
24:30
Speaker 6: I don't believe that the polls consider themselves dominated by
24:34
Speaker 6: the Soviet Union.
24:36
Speaker 1: And yet they were all dominated by the Soviet Union.
24:39
Speaker 1: But only one gaff in the debate caused a candidate
24:43
Speaker 1: to actually drop out, and that's the most famous one
24:47
Speaker 1: of all time.
24:48
Speaker 11: Childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to supreme
24:52
Speaker 11: strength in our healthcare system, making sure that we're able
24:55
Speaker 11: to make every single solitary person eligible for When I've
25:00
Speaker 11: they going to do with the UH, with the COVID,
25:03
Speaker 11: I could be with dealing with everything we have to
25:07
Speaker 11: do with. Look if we finally beat Medicare.
25:15
Speaker 1: And then Trump had the tremendous line, yes he beat
25:17
Speaker 1: it to death.
25:18
Speaker 3: You see, that's when your campaign manager, who is on
25:21
Speaker 3: the stage or nearby, should throw in the white towels.
25:25
Speaker 5: No, mus we give up, can we redo this, can
25:27
Speaker 5: we come back?
25:28
Speaker 1: Well, they did actually throw in the white towel because
25:31
Speaker 1: he was then out of the race. That's the first
25:33
Speaker 1: time ever for that.
25:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
25:34
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you, on these kind of issues, especially
25:37
Speaker 3: when you're running for a national office like US Senate
25:40
Speaker 3: or like aoc is hinting that she'd like to do
25:44
Speaker 3: for the presidency of the United States, these are the
25:46
Speaker 3: kind of issues where all of a sudden you say it.
25:48
Speaker 3: But that's what we expect senators to know. Yes, congress
25:52
Speaker 3: people more the local issues, you know, local politics rules.
25:56
Speaker 3: But US senators, man, you really got to know you
26:00
Speaker 3: old political stuff.
26:01
Speaker 1: I think Darlene Graham's gonna get away with it. And
26:05
Speaker 1: one of the reasons is they don't consider her a politician.
26:08
Speaker 1: They don't consider her somebody that has to be up
26:10
Speaker 1: on every issue. She's still learning. I mean, she she
26:13
Speaker 1: was thrown into this because of her brother's death, and
26:18
Speaker 1: so I think she's still gonna win. And and by
26:20
Speaker 1: the way I went, I run immediately to all the
26:23
Speaker 1: betting markets, you know, the prediction markets. Everybody seems to
26:26
Speaker 1: think she's still gonna win. Even the people in South Carolina,
26:29
Speaker 1: so she may be impregnable to.
26:32
Speaker 3: This well up Next boy, I want to be like
26:36
Speaker 3: Gene Kelly and be dancing in the rain today if
26:39
Speaker 3: it actually rains heavy. Because the Duke and Duchess are
26:44
Speaker 3: packing up their badge after six years of being dead
26:46
Speaker 3: beats here in the United States, Prince Harry and Megan
26:49
Speaker 3: are going back.
26:50
Speaker 5: To the uk Ufah. Get out of here. I hate you,
26:54
Speaker 5: I don't want you here. Don't come back.
26:57
Speaker 1: Jeez.
