Hour 2: AI Threat · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, everybody across the country, and especially in Washington, D.C.,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is now talking about AI and the potential future dangers
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of AI. So let's bring in John Decker, WOR White
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: House and Washington correspondent, host of the podcast, The White
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: House Briefing Room with John Decker, which can be found
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app, because Donald Trump certainly has weighed
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in on this issue, but Congress also wants to get involved. And, John,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: AI has become the issue of the week ever since
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: several of the people in the industry are issuing warnings
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: about going too quickly with AI. What does the president
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: have to say about it, and what is Congress talking
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: about doing?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Well, you're absolutely right, Larry. This issue rose to the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: forefront because a number of tech leaders, including Elon Musk,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: are calling for federal regulations concerning AI. They're concerned about
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: their own industry. An anthropic CEO put out a statement
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that got a lot of attention over the weekend, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that also drew the attention of President Trump. And so
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: what he's saying is he doesn't believe there should be
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: any guardrails. He doesn't believe there should be any federal regulations.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And the reason he says that, Larry, is because he
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: believes it's a national security issue as it relates to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the U.S., and the competition is that the U.S. has
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: with China. So the president has weighed in on this.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Nine social media posts on this topic alone yesterday. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're done with it. And of course,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: keep in mind, Larry, that next week, President Trump will
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: meet with President Xi Jinping at the White House. He's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: hosting him for a state visit. This topic will certainly
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: be on the agenda.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Now, John Decker, he was really harsh in his commentary.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: He said, meaning the president, He dismissed safety concerns as
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: a hoax. Now, we've heard that term used before. The
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: president is bright. He knows about a lot of things
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: in life. But there aren't that many of us Americans
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: that know much about AI, including the president. This might
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: be an opportunity for the vice president, J.D. Vance, who
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: spent a lot of time in Silicon Valley, was helped
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: by Peter Thiel and others. He knows all these players.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: to basically delegate this to him. I mean, this is,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I would say, J.D. Vance's strength, not negotiating peace with Iran,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and let him try to figure out something with the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: CEO executives who seem to be warning us. I mean,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: normally companies don't warn you about problems because they don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: want government interference. These guys are pretty much saying, no,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: we need government to get involved. I think that might
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: be the better route.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think that is a good idea.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You might be right. Right now, as you know, what
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the vice president's main task is, is ferreting out fraud
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in the government. We'll see if the president also tasks
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: him with this. But I think the president's comments that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: he made in Ireland over the weekend and then those
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: truth social posts have made it pretty clear that even
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: if he delegates this issue to the vice president, The
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: president has made it clear he doesn't see any need
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for federal regulation. Zero. And as a result, I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that if any legislation were somehow to make it out
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of Congress, and we're still in the early stages of that,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it's pretty clear that President Trump would veto that legislation.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the Supreme Court for a second, because
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just in case that nobody knows, you're a constitutional attorney
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: as well. And the Supreme Court blocked sweeping mail ballot
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: restrictions for midterm elections, including giving the U.S. Post Office
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: more power. But they were pretty definitive. The vote was
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: very lopsided. So tell us what they said, why they
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: came up with this ruling.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Well, this was a majority opinion signed on to essentially
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: by seven justices, two justices dissented, an eight-word dissent written
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: by Samuel Alito, joined by Clarence Thomas. And what they
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: essentially said was they will let a lower court's ruling
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: on this issue to stand, which means that the president's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: executive order will not take hold. It will not be implemented.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And that would have involved the U.S. Postal Service, their
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: involvement with mail ballots for this election cycle, for the midterms. Now,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the interesting thing here is they were only ruling on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: whether or not that injunction should remain in place. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that's where that 7-2 decision came into play. But what
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they did not rule on is whether the executive order
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: itself is or is not constitutional. And I think that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: what the president's executive order says It's still out there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It's going to be litigated. And in fact, some of
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the things that are contained in that executive order could indeed,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Larry and Curtis, be implemented in time for the 2028
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: presidential election. So the focus here is whether or not
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: essentially the post office had the time to implement what
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: was contained in that executive order. And a majority of
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the court said they did not have the time and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: they did not want to impact this upcoming election in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that way.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Now, John Decker, just to try to simplify this, because
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: there have been so many courts involved in this process,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and now, obviously, the United States Supreme Court. This cycle,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: with the midterms, about one-third of Americans now vote by mail.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: They have that as a choice. That's all going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: be the same. None of that is going to change
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: on November 3rd?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Not one bit of it's going to change for November
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: 3rd for the midterm. So if the president was trying to,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and he was trying to affect the way that mail
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: ballots are counted and cast, he is not going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: be successful in that endeavor, at least for the 2026
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: midterm election. He could ultimately be successful. We'll have to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: wait and see as it relates to the way ballots
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: are cast for 2028, the presidential election year. that would
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: give the states enough time to implement the changes that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: would be necessary in order to comply with that executive order.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Well, the Republicans in the Senate have to be happy
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they got one more vote back. Mitch McConnell has returned,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and I know you can't be everywhere at once, but
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: did you by any chance happen to see him?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I have not. I'm not on that side of Pennsylvania Avenue.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I'm at the White House. I saw the video. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: saw the still photos of Mitch McConnell arriving back after
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a month. I think the last time that he cast
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a vote was way back in June, if I'm not mistaken.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So it's been months since Mitch McConnell has been on
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. Now he's back and now he can exercise
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: his vote on behalf of the people of Kentucky. Of course,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: he is not running for reelection. There is an open
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: seat uh, to serve six years, uh, in Kentucky. And, uh,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: we'll see where that goes, but Mitch McConnell is back
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and Republicans can now count on his vote. Um, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: in terms of the various pieces of legislation that get
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: voted upon between now and the end of this term.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Now, John, give us a little insight. If you can,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and president Donald Trump
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: have a very good working relationship. Very good. Uh, apparently
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the crown Prince who's getting squeezed from all sides now
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: by the, uh, these sort of covert operations that Iran
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: supports in Yemen and also the Shia militias in Iraq,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: called up the president twice, either before he went to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Ireland or afterwards, and said, help, we need military help.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: We've had to stop pumping out any oil. We're the
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: number one oil exporter in the world. We've had to
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: pretty much bring that to a halt. Is it true
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: that the president said to the crown prince, no, you're
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: not getting any military assistance from us?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that it's evident that the president said no,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: because you don't see the U.S. military being moved or
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: repositioned in any way to help out Saudi Arabia deal
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: with their oil flow situation. As you know, the Houthi
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: rebels have attacked oil facilities that Saudi Arabia maintains. along
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the Red Sea. And that's problematic. And it's problematic. You know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it's the reason why we've seen oil prices tick up
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: even higher just over the course of the past few
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: days because of these attacks by the Houthi rebels on
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: oil facilities that are maintained and owned by Saudi Arabia.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, I heard a whole lot of
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: dissension in the Republican Party, and from Democrats especially, who
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: were going very public with their dissension about that midterm convention.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: But now, afterwards, I've talked to a couple of people,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and they, even Democrats, say, hey, you know what, that's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a good idea. It actually turned out to be a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good idea. Do you think we're going to see
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more of these in the future?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a very good question. You know, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: think it really depends upon where we are in any
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: election cycle. Democrats, they considered it, this election cycle, to
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: match Republicans and have their own midterm convention. But from
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: their perspective, the dynamics were such that they felt they
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: already had the energy necessary on their part heading into
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the midterms that a midterm convention like the Republicans just
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: had in Dallas wasn't necessary. Now, things can change. Who
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: knows what may happen? We'd have to look all the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: way ahead to 2030 you know, in terms of the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: next potential midterm convention. And maybe Democrats will rethink their
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: decision as to whether or not to hold one in 2030.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Do appreciate that, John Decker. Live White House correspondent for WOR.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Always has his finger on the pulse. We appreciate you
• 10:18

• 10:29
  Speaker 3: in Park Slope, the kitten that was missing that had
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: been snatched up outside his bodega? Apparently, the woman in
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: question called. They were halfway there, and now they're not
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: halfway there anymore. What the hell went wrong? We'll give

• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Now another episode of the continuing story of Jabal the Kitten,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: who was stolen or found, stolen or found, one of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the two, outside of a mini-mart, a bodega at 8th
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Street in Park Slope. And the owner of the place
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just loves the cats and the kittens. He had one
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: just die, and then this new kitten that's three months
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: old reappeared in his life. So Imadi Nab... was heartbroken,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people did stories on him. He
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: was on TV just almost crying about losing this kitten.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And then yesterday, he got an anonymous phone call.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: She called me. She said, I'm going to bring you
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: the cat now. I'm ready. I have my clothes on.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I'm going to bring it to you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: How do you feel?
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I feel good. I feel relaxed. You know, relief, you
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: know what I mean? Did she say anything while she.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Picked up the cat?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I asked.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: She said, I don't see no store.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I said, you're lying.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: There's one store there, and the guy who followed you
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: told you the cat belongs to the store. And you
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: stole the cat, but you don't want to give it
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: to them. But say, anyway, anyway, I'm going to bring it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So she was on her way over a moment ago.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Like when she first called, she said, I'm going to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: bring it over right now. I'm on my way over.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Still hasn't shown up. What do you think happened?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Well, look, because he threw in, oh, you stole a cat.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: She's thinking the entire NYPD is going to be there,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: undercover officers outside. Right, right, right. It's like he should
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: have just encouraged, oh, thank you, thank you. Oh, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: owe you everything in my life. You know, one of
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: those kind of things. But he decided to throw that
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: red flare up. Not a good idea. Oh, my God.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: To his defense, I was going to say credit, but
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to his defense, he's upset.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, of course.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He's upset. But you know what? You heard the person
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: with the cat say, I found it. And he went, oh, no, no, no,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you stole it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that somebody told them, went after them
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: when they had the cat and said, no, it belongs
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to them. It belongs back there, and they kept taking
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it anyway.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Get the cat back, then tell her that you stole
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: my cat.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It's easy to say afterwards.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I know. Of course. He was full of emotion. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: totally get why he said it. But now, no cat.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Many people listening out there have had this when their
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: cell phone is found and somebody calls them up. Now,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: was it stolen? Do they want a reward? What's the reason? Man,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: you got to be so sugary sweet that if they
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: were a diabetic, they would have insulin shock. You just
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: want them to bring it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll keep paying attention to find out when Jabal
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: finally comes home. But let's get to some talkbacks. The
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: first one about the return of Mitch McConnell.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Apparently, you haven't seen the video of Mitch McConnell. He
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: looks like Biden 2.0.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Well, no, at least he's walking.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Well, he wasn't walking.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Biden is.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, Biden is, yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one of them was walking.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Mitch was in a wheelchair.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. But he was as good as Biden.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Larry and Curtis, this whole issue you're talking about
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: really shows the damage that the Biden administration's policy created
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: with allowing all of these people to come into the
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: country without the– historical requirement that they be as supportable
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: or support themselves. As a Judeo-Christian nation, we just can't
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: throw people out and treat them inhumanely. But there is
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: a tipping point, and that's the point that we're at now.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I concur. It used to be you had to
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: have a sponsor. You had to dot every I, cross
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: every T. And the sponsor was told, Larry, you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: if this family or this person that you're sponsoring is unemployed,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: you're paying for all their services, food, clothing, housing, or
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: they go back.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we're talking about this because mom Donnie and Letitia
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: James and some other cities are going to sue the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Trump administration for expanding the public charge. And the public
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: charges just makes a lot of sense. Many countries have it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: If you come here, you have to be able to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: support yourself. We're not going to pay for you. And
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so the public charge now is saying, even if you're
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: here already, not if you accept you at the border
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: or you apply for a visa, uh, Even if you're
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: here already, the public charge still goes into effect.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: Funny, all of a sudden the Democrats made fun of
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: trickle-down economics. Now it's going to be trickle-down that they're
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: not going to be able to stay open to grocery stores.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: They're such fake, phony forges, these Democrats. Can't stand them.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You notice everybody uses your terms?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, that's Bob Grant. Oh, is it really? Oh, yes.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: You fake, phony, fraudulent, forgated.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I use a lot of grantism. And I always give
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: them credit. I always give them credit.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: I would rather pay for people's health care and food
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: than bombs.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Huh. That's an interesting. You'd rather pay for the illegals
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: or those who are here. Haven't yet gotten a green
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: card or visa. You'd rather pay for all their amenities
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: rather than bombs. Well. we need bombs now because we've depleted.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Our source of defensive weaponry is depleted. We need bombs.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: You know why everybody wants to come here? Because of
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the bombs. Because we keep everyone else. We're the strongest
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: country in the world, and we get to thrive, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: we get to do basically what we want because of
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: those bombs.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: About this whole Thomas Matthew Crooks thing, all I can
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: say is his last name is Crooks. And the Secret
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: Service director at the time's name was Cheadle.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You got a crook and a cheat. That's all you
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: really got to say.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: And a new wrinkle, Larry, from what we were talking
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: about early, now that the Grassley Commission and the Senate
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: has released documents about who this kid was and the family.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Somebody anonymously paid for the 10 days later that you
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: talked about where the body was taken from the coroner
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: and then it was cremated. Anonymous. We want to find
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: out who Mr. Anonymous is. But up next, this is
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: real serious to you. You've been talking about this all morning.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: And but first, let's get our updated news from Nadia.
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: Okay, that sounds good.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Hello, Nadia.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. Give him credit.
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: He tried.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: He tried. Nadia Comaneci.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Nadia Comaneci.
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: I love Nadia Comaneci.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Wait a second.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I'll take that as a.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Let's take a pause for a second. Let's all do
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it together. You ready? Daria.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Daria.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Daria.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: So, Curtis, you can call me whatever you want.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You know I love you.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, watch that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Be careful with that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: As long as it's, you know, within broadcast standards. It'll
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: be sunny and cooler today. It's going to feel like fall.
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: I have 71 degrees. So here's a question that a
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: lot of parents are wondering about. How much screen time
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: is too much in public schools? We know about the
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: limits on AI that are now taking effect in the
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: New York City public schools. And now the city council
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: wants to take it a step further. And they're going
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: to discuss it at a public hearing later today. There
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: are some council members... And a number of parents who
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: are taking issue with the use of things like YouTube
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: and what's known as gamified learning in the classroom. They're
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: worried that it gets kids hooked too early. A former
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: Columbia University student is suing the school. Mahmoud Khalil says
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: it failed to protect him and other pro-Palestinian protesters.
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: Khalil, who spent 104 days in immigration jail and whose
• 19:24
  Speaker 12: deportation case remains active, filed suit Monday in federal court.
• 19:29
  Speaker 12: It says Columbia's deliberate indifference led to Khalil's detention by
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: ICE and to the doxing of other group members. The suit,
• 19:37
  Speaker 12: accusing Columbia of civil rights violations, seeks to restore Khalil's
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: access to the Manhattan campus and monetary damages. Andrew Whitman,
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: WOR News.
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: Senator Mitch McConnell returned to the U.S. Senate for the
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: first time since June. He was in a wheelchair yesterday.
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: The 84-year-old is continuing to recover after falling at his D.C.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Residence.
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: Well, get your appetite ready because the Carnegie Deli is
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: reopening today.
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: After closing for a decade, the famed deli is making
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: a return to 7th Avenue, just steps away from its
• 20:09
  Speaker 13: original location that first opened in 1937. The Carnegie Deli
• 20:13
  Speaker 13: announced its return last month, putting up signage at its
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: location between 53rd and 54th Streets. The 2,500-square-foot restaurant has
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: 110 seats, with a menu offering popular pastrami and corned
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: beef sandwiches.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: On rye, all-beef hot dogs... And cheesecake.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: In New York, I'm Natalie Migliore.
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: And I'm hungry already. Today is National Voter Registration Day.
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: It was created in 2012 with the goal of trying
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: to get as many Americans registered to vote as possible
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: before an upcoming election. The Yankees are in the playoffs
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: with a win over Minneapolis. The Mets are out after
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: a loss to Baltimore. And Kansas City wins Monday night football.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger.
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: on 710WOR.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria. If you're in the car and you're
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about to get where you're going, stay in the car.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: If you were going to change the channel for any reason, don't.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Because when we come back from a short break, I'm
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: going to fill you in on a story that when
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I heard about it made me absolutely furious because nobody
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: is covering it. And it deserves to be covered. Wait
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: until you hear the details of this story It is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: absolutely sickening. Details after the break. I'm about to tell
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: you a story that is so sick, so horrendous, it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: hard to believe that it even happened. Sick and horrendous,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: but it's also harder to believe that you're just hearing
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: about it now because it happened last week, on Wednesday
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: of last week. September 8th. Maybe that was earlier than Wednesday, actually.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But Once you hear the story, you can't forget it.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And once you hear the story, I hope you're just
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: as outraged as I am with the media in New
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: York and Philadelphia and the national media who just ignored
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: this story. And when I give you the details, you'll
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: figure out for your own why they ignored the story.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So it was Tuesday. Early morning. September 8th.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Just after midnight, when somebody broke into a window on
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the second floor of a home in Washington Borough in
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Warren Township, New Jersey.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: In New Jersey. Really close by. He kidnapped a six-year-old girl.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And the parents, who check on their child all the time,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: opened the door, didn't see her there, called the police frantically.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: They put out a search to find her. They found
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: her about an hour later, walking on the street, crying.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: All she had on was her t-shirt, no pants, and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: blood running down her leg. She had been abducted and raped.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Six years old, abducted and raped. It took about 30 hours,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: 32 hours to be exact. with several forces, and they
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: don't mention this, but I'm sure ICE was involved in
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a story like this because the local police, they were
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: reaching out to everyone, even though they're not supposed to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey, because it's a sanctuary state and they
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: need to protect people who are not here legally. His
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: name is Lester Noe Perez Amador. 27 years old, and
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he's in the country illegally. ICE knew about him, certainly.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: He now faces several charges, including rape, including kidnapping, with
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: intent to harm. He will spend the rest of his
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: life in prison, so I doubt he's ever going to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: be deported because he's going to be in the prison
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: system here. But you're hearing this story probably for the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: first time, right? And that's why I'm enraged. Not a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: TV station in New York covered this story. Not one.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, do a search. Not one. Don't you think
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: this is big enough of a story for that? Don't
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you think that this should have been leading every newscast
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: in this town?
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Nobody.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And please, check the New York papers. See if you
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: can find it. Nobody covered it. In Philadelphia, same thing.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Same thing. The only place we could find stories was
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: patch locally, a local radio station. NJ.com finally picked it up.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And after several days, Fox News picked it up. And
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the Fox station in Philadelphia did a reader. ABC, NBC, CBS.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: New York Times, none of them, Philadelphia Inquirer, none of
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: them covered the story. They ignored it. So why do
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you think that's the case? In a story like this,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: which should be, by the way, a national story, the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: networks are just as much to blame. This has all
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the markings. Trust me. I was in news departments, both
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: network and local, for 40 years. This is an enormous story.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: This is a story that will touch every single person
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that hears it. And they'll be aghast. But nobody covered it. Why?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: You know the answer. You already know the answer. It's political.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: It was purely political. No one wanted the backlash from
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: saying that this person should never have been in this country.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now. where the media, even
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: local media, they're taking sides on this issue. Shame on them.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Shame on them. Do me a favor. Would you call?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Call all of the local stations and tell them how
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: upset you are that they didn't cover the story of
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: what happened in Washington Borough and Warren County. That they
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: didn't care anything about this little girl. They cared more
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: about a 27-year-old rapist who shouldn't even be in the country.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Let me give you some names, by the way. Instead
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: of just calling the listener line, ask for John Antonio
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: at WABC. He's the general manager. Ask for Sarah Burke
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: at CBS. She is the news director. Ask for Ana
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Hernandez at WNBC. That's the news director. Ask for Ben
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Dobson of WPIX or ask for Imad Ashgar of Fox
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: 5 New York. Maybe you won't remember the names, but
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: just call and ask for the news director and tell
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: them how upset you are that this story wasn't covered.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And then ask them why. Ask them if they knew
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: about it and why they ignored it. This little girl,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: this little girl deserved a lot better. than what she got.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: From the state of New Jersey and its sanctuary city policy,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to the people who run these stations and don't care,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: to everybody involved in this story who looked the other way,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: shame on you.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Well done. Well done, Larry. One point of information, when
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you say a station does a reader, what does that mean?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: That means that they don't send a reporter, but they
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: take the facts of the story. And sometimes what they'll
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: do is they'll just cover it with some pictures that
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: are generic. So they don't even send a reporter. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: they heard about it. They said, so God bless the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: one Fox station in Philadelphia that picked it up. They
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: saw it on the network and said, oh, we should
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: be covering this story. But Fox News was the only
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: network that covered this. No local station sent a reporter
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and covered this.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Not one.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: No local newspaper, except for NJ.com, did pick it up,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: did this. Thank God for Patch. Thank God for whoever
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: wrote that story for Patch out in Warren County, because
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: that's how the information got out. Otherwise, this would have
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: been buried. And for all the wrong reasons, not for
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the victim, but to protect the assailant, to protect the rapist.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I just, I can't tell you how upset I am
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: at this story. I'm so embarrassed by the media right
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed what happened to the whole country, how people
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: are now deciding on whether to cover a story because
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of political leanings. We're lost. You don't want to talk
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: about a threat to democracy? That's the threat to democracy.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: We're lost if we don't have a free and fair media.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: And I think we lost that long ago.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Well done, Larry. Well done. Up next, Natalie Migliore down
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: in the streets about the issue that John Decker said
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: is number one on the lips of everybody in dc
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: artificial intelligence.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And i want to talk to you about the cc
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: radio 3 it's the almost everything radio with the addition
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of bluetooth you now have an immense palette of radio
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: stations and podcasts available from any smartphone or speaker The
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: CC Radio 3 has great reception for long-range AM FM stations,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: along with emergency capabilities like NOAA weather and the 2-meter handband.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Reliable communication and staying connected is essential during unforeseen events.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: If you listen primarily to voice content, the CC Radio
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: 3 is arguably worth the price alone. Audio quality for
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the spoken word sounds like the host is sitting right
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: next to you. Separate bass and treble controls let you
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: customize the sound for clear, natural audio. It runs on
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the included power cord or a set of batteries for
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: over 170 hours. So to order the CC Radio 3,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: call C-Crane at 800-522-8863. Once again, that's 800-522-8863, or visit
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: them online at C-Crane.com. It's also available on Amazon.
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: Veggie.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore. Ah, Natalie,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: back from the streets, questioning people about the talk of
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the nation, artificial intelligence. But first... What was the actual
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: intelligence of the people you were talking to today? Because
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: it varies from day to day.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: They were all right.
• 31:14
  Speaker 13: I'm not, you know, at least I didn't run into
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: any robots, which I've been. Honestly, I actually went to
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: a restaurant the other night and they're using a robot
• 31:23
  Speaker 13: to serve people.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: So it's very interesting.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Do you tip a robot? That's what my fiance.
• 31:28
  Speaker 13: And I were talking about. I was like, what do
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: you do when I want to? Like when a robot
• 31:33
  Speaker 13: brings you your food.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Give him a can of oil. I don't know.
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: But a guy takes your order and then the robot
• 31:40
  Speaker 13: comes over. But anyway, that's the start of it. The
• 31:43
  Speaker 13: tip of the iceberg. Artificial intelligence, which is stirring up
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: a lot of debate between me and my fiance is
• 31:48
  Speaker 13: whether we tip the AI robot that comes to your table.
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: But as several researchers sound the alarm calling for more guardrails.
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: When it comes to AI, this comes after the Anthropic
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: CEO cautioned that a swarm of AI agents might be
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: able to take over the Internet in six months to
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: a year, essentially saying AI poses a threat to humanity.
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: I do believe it's going to take over. It's already
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: taking over our everyday lives. So all over the Internet,
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: in our homes, on our phones.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Everywhere. I believe so at the rate of this going.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I think I use it daily for anything, honestly. Assignments,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: help with an email.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Heavily invested in it, yes.
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: Take over the world?
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: No.
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: It's entertaining.
• 32:35
  Speaker 15: I'm not sure about taking over the world, but it
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: is entertaining.
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: Okay, so notice how every guy said no and every
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: woman said yes. I was noticing that as I was
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: editing it together.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: But that's the pattern I'm seeing.
• 32:47
  Speaker 13: Now, several other tech moguls have stepped in To back
• 32:51
  Speaker 13: these concerns, including chat GPT CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk,
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: some brushing off the concern more than others, including President
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: Trump and those on the street, since they use it
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: for daily tasks.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Rather than, you know, what's being dubbed computer warfare.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: I think it depends on the person. If you know
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: how to use it wisely, you can just use it
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: as a template to help you out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: But I have friends that do.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: What do they use it for?
• 33:16
  Speaker 15: They basically make spoofs on things that happen in New
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: York City a lot.
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: I think it makes people think deeper and learn more.
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: I think it's going to make the world a better place,
• 33:26
  Speaker 14: like me.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: What's an example?
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: Not knowing how something operates and then getting more insight
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: much quicker and easier.
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: I see a lot of people I know using ChatGPT, etc.
• 33:36
  Speaker 11: It was just nothing I was ever interested in. I'm
• 33:39
  Speaker 11: more of a real-life type of person.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: She lives in the real world, is what she's saying.
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: But maybe they are using it, people, the general public,
• 33:47
  Speaker 13: for stupid things. As tech CEOs warn about AI taking
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: over humanity, we've got maybe some gems of society making
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: AI adult films, if you catch my drift. It all
• 34:01
  Speaker 13: comes as the Manhattan District Attorney announced yesterday that he
• 34:05
  Speaker 13: shut down about a dozen websites selling these kinds of
• 34:08
  Speaker 13: deep fake products, sort of a You know, putting videos
• 34:14
  Speaker 13: and some are celebrities and sexually explicit ideas.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: A fake deep throat. A fake modern day Linda Lovelace.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: You are correct.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But it looks a little real, I guess, to people.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I beg to differ. That would be a wonderful way
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to wake up.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: We're not getting into that.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I need another cup of.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Coffee before I talk about this. What about the classic
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Debbie does Dallas, the Dallas Cowboys, right? Debbie does Dallas AI. Okay.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Deep fake.
• 34:52
  Speaker 13: So really what we're, that was a great line. What
• 34:58
  Speaker 13: you said, I'm just going to, I'm just going to
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: roll past it. Cause I'm going to get in trouble
• 35:01
  Speaker 13: with HR if I keep going with this. So is
• 35:03
  Speaker 13: it getting harder for people to spot AI?
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't say hard, because most of the time it's
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: common sense, but it will get harder.
• 35:13
  Speaker 15: No, there's still leagues away from being totally deepfake material,
• 35:19
  Speaker 15: like shadows, stuff like that.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Things that they can't replicate fully. Glare of the Sun, probably.
• 35:24
  Speaker 15: Not too sure, but things along that line, you can
• 35:27
  Speaker 15: still kind of tell that it's not there yet.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: There's been a few where I'm like, oh, this is A.I.?
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: But there's always like a little bit of something that
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: gives it away in the background because it can never
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: produce like a perfect image.
• 35:38
  Speaker 14: Deep fakes.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: How do we combat that?
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: I have no idea. It's above my pay grade.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: That's an Elon Musk question.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: So we must turn to Elon Musk. I'd rather not.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I still can't get over this.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: What what we okay but anyway move on i know
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: i need to um but a lot of lately too
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: with these deep fakes even coming under into question is
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: also brands are now starting to allegedly use ai to
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: to generate product sales in a sense so they're coming
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: under fire too which a lot of people we were
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: talking about on the street as well so there are
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: just so many.
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: Different levels to ai in a sense like Lawmakers seem
• 36:21
  Speaker 13: to be thinking about, you know, our security and our
• 36:24
  Speaker 13: national security in a sense. And people are, you know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: talking about making spoofs, you know, and porn and all
• 36:30
  Speaker 13: this stuff in the general thing.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: So really differing.
• 36:34
  Speaker 13: Concerns and varying levels, I guess, depending on what kind
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: of clearance you have on our national security level.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I'm still interested in the robot who served you at
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: the restaurant. Is this a coming wave? I'll take a
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: video of it next time. We go there often. Not
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: for the robot, just because the food's pretty good, I
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: got to say.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore will be back tomorrow morning at 7.50.
