Hour 1: Is smiling the way to win in politics nowadays? · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Oh, I gotta tell you, Larry, he's chaotic in the
0:03
Speaker 1: Slewer household all day yesterday and the wee hours of
0:07
Speaker 1: the morning as I went out on my mission to
0:11
Speaker 1: catch these male snatchers from the blue mailboxes and during
0:16
Speaker 1: the day the porch pirates snatching up the packages. But
0:20
Speaker 1: in the interim, as I would return to the lair
0:24
Speaker 1: because as you know, there are cats there as a colony.
0:26
Speaker 1: And there's Nancy. She's howling, like her nickname suggests, lone
0:32
Speaker 1: wolf one. She's watching on TV the total solar eclipse
0:38
Speaker 1: of the Sun in Europe taking place. And then to
0:42
Speaker 1: add to that, there was the meteorites that were just
0:47
Speaker 1: like slashing through this guy. Now I couldn't see him
0:49
Speaker 1: in the wee hours of the morning, you know, we
0:51
Speaker 1: got so much cover here in the city.
0:53
Speaker 2: Somehow she was able to spot.
0:54
Speaker 1: Them as she was roaming through Central Park, so it
1:00
Speaker 1: I could double hit for me. And actually the cats
1:03
Speaker 1: are all aroused too, because if Nancy, you know, the
1:06
Speaker 1: caretakers aroused, they're aroused. But did you see those images
1:11
Speaker 1: that were transpiring from Iceland to Spain. It sort of
1:14
Speaker 1: took me back to twenty twenty four when we had
1:17
Speaker 1: our own total solar eclipse of the Sun, and everybody
1:22
Speaker 1: was acting Kukola munge.
1:23
Speaker 3: If you're I know, I know, listen as a recovering
1:27
Speaker 3: TV anchor. I've talked about these things constantly all the time,
1:33
Speaker 3: every meteor shower, the percy is, the Geminid, the Leonid,
1:39
Speaker 3: you know, every there's like three of them that are
1:41
Speaker 3: big a year, and you talk about them constantly, and
1:44
Speaker 3: they're always disappointing. Every single one of them is disappointing,
1:49
Speaker 3: and you fall for it all the time. I'd wake
1:51
Speaker 3: my kids up, because you know, the best viewing time
1:54
Speaker 3: is between three twenty and four h two in the morning,
1:57
Speaker 3: and so you'd rush out and they'd all be a sleep,
2:00
Speaker 3: but you'd stand there and you look up in the
2:01
Speaker 3: sky and nothing happened. And then with the eclipses, what happened.
2:07
Speaker 3: You had to wear special glasses where you couldn't see
2:10
Speaker 3: anything except shadows, or if you wanted to, you could
2:15
Speaker 3: take a white piece of paper and you could see
2:17
Speaker 3: it happen on the piece of paper. I could draw
2:20
Speaker 3: it and have the exact same effect. Is it never
2:25
Speaker 3: is as big of a deal as they say it's
2:28
Speaker 3: going to be. It's always disappointing. So I didn't look
2:31
Speaker 3: at all for the meteors yesterday because I knew from
2:34
Speaker 3: years of experience, i'd be disappointed.
2:36
Speaker 2: Okay, but that didn't satisfy my wife Nancy.
2:41
Speaker 1: But I will tell you they hadn't had a full
2:45
Speaker 1: eclipse of the Sun in Europe for about a hundred
2:49
Speaker 1: and nineteen years.
2:51
Speaker 3: They were lucky.
2:52
Speaker 1: So we just had one in twenty twenty four. And
2:54
Speaker 1: by the way, I remember all the scam scammers that
2:57
Speaker 1: were out there selling these you know, like these three
2:59
Speaker 1: D glass since you would get in some of the movies.
3:02
Speaker 2: You know, they were.
3:03
Speaker 1: Nothing, you know, and ophthalmologists would tell you don't use
3:07
Speaker 1: those glasses. It could damage your iris. If you look
3:10
Speaker 1: up directly at the Sun, it's like iris.
3:13
Speaker 3: You know.
3:14
Speaker 1: I can't even figure out where my solar plexus are,
3:17
Speaker 1: never mind my iris in my eyes.
3:20
Speaker 3: I just turt your eyes.
3:20
Speaker 2: How about that? Just in general?
3:22
Speaker 1: But remember the chaos about that and everybody like Lemmings.
3:26
Speaker 1: I remember coming out of the subway and we were
3:29
Speaker 1: living right next to Central Park at the time, and
3:32
Speaker 1: I saw hundreds of people all staring up, all staring
3:37
Speaker 1: up simultaneously, and I'm the street smart guy. So I'm
3:40
Speaker 1: wanting people, hey, look, the pickpockets are gonna have a
3:44
Speaker 1: field day here, you know, because we have professional pickpockets,
3:47
Speaker 1: mostly from South America here who could pick your pocket
3:50
Speaker 1: without you ever knowing it. They must have had a
3:52
Speaker 1: field day. And what the two minutes or the three minutes?
3:55
Speaker 3: And it's never that good. So look it, I feel guilty.
4:00
Speaker 3: Part to blame, you know what I mean, And all
4:01
Speaker 3: the people in the TV news are part to blame.
4:03
Speaker 3: Because it's a shared experience of affects everybody. You get
4:07
Speaker 3: a wider audience, you know, when you talk about a
4:09
Speaker 3: particular community, you're narrowing your audience. That's why Weather, that's
4:13
Speaker 3: why they love the lead with Weather on TV news
4:16
Speaker 3: because it's your shared experience. And so you would over
4:20
Speaker 3: promote and over promote these things. And I don't care.
4:23
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of people that go, oh,
4:25
Speaker 3: it was amazing. No, it wasn't amazing. You just gave
4:29
Speaker 3: up a lot of time to see it. It's never amazing.
4:32
Speaker 3: Remember how many times, by the way in New York
4:35
Speaker 3: that you were told, hey, if you look at the
4:36
Speaker 3: northern skies, you may get a glimpse of the Aurora borealis.
4:40
Speaker 3: Never never did I get a glimpse of the Aurora
4:43
Speaker 3: borealis in the northeast.
4:45
Speaker 2: Where is that on your body? Oh?
4:48
Speaker 4: Solar plexus irish? What was that term again, the Aurora borealis.
4:53
Speaker 4: It's it's the northern lights. That's how it's black. I
4:57
Speaker 4: felt incredible. But know what this reminded me of as
5:02
Speaker 4: Nancy was watching on TV, all wide eyed and all
5:06
Speaker 4: the cats were surrounding and watching what was transpiring in Europe.
5:11
Speaker 2: The song by Don McClain is so cool. That's a
5:14
Speaker 2: great pull by you. I know, I remember that song.
5:17
Speaker 2: I never heard that song.
5:18
Speaker 1: He was a great He was a classic American songster.
5:23
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, Don McClain, and I've heard lots of his songs.
5:27
Speaker 3: I had never heard that long. Oh I love that song.
5:29
Speaker 1: That's why I had an instant memory recall, because you
5:33
Speaker 1: feel like that when you meet somebody for the very
5:36
Speaker 1: first time and you say, oh God, that's the one.
5:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a.
5:39
Speaker 2: Great It's like an eclipse of the son.
5:42
Speaker 3: That's perfect because everybody else, even ABC was using the
5:45
Speaker 3: Bonny Tyler song.
5:46
Speaker 2: Oh we're gonna use that later on.
5:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, that does total clips of the heart right, the
5:52
Speaker 4: Welsh woman there right.
5:53
Speaker 1: But anyway, that point was when I was a youngster.
5:57
Speaker 1: My aunt Mary was like my second mother.
6:00
Speaker 5: My mom.
6:01
Speaker 1: Francesca was the thirteenth last drop of Nicoletta and Fidela Bianchino,
6:06
Speaker 1: who were from Andrea, right on the adriaticosin what they
6:10
Speaker 1: call body, the provincia their body. And Aunt Mary would
6:13
Speaker 1: tell me these old wives tales. And she would say,
6:16
Speaker 1: you know, when there was any kind of cover of
6:20
Speaker 1: the sun, it didn't have to be a total eclipse,
6:22
Speaker 1: but you know, he had partial eclipses. She would say,
6:25
Speaker 1: any woman who was pregnant in Andrea had to go
6:29
Speaker 1: inside the house, had to stay inside of their mud
6:32
Speaker 1: hovels there and not theme out, because the fear was
6:35
Speaker 1: that you could end up possibly losing your child. This
6:39
Speaker 1: is the old wives tale. The other thing she said
6:42
Speaker 1: is to protect yourself when these eclipses would come, you
6:47
Speaker 1: would have to wear red undergarments, red with safety pins,
6:53
Speaker 1: metal safety pins, which would act as a shield. And
6:56
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I look at her incredulously. See
7:00
Speaker 1: that Chris quiet storm. That's a five dollar word, that's
7:03
Speaker 1: multi syllabic. Look at her increduliously.
7:06
Speaker 2: Let Chris try it. Try that word, Chris.
7:08
Speaker 1: Come on, Chris, your first words in the morning, go ahead?
7:14
Speaker 2: Can you can you say for me?
7:15
Speaker 3: What?
7:15
Speaker 2: Can you spell it for me?
7:16
Speaker 1: Increduliously I can barely pronounce it. Now you want me
7:20
Speaker 1: to spell yes? But that's his first words of the morning.
7:27
Speaker 1: The quiet stole on Loan from March morning. Natalie's still
7:31
Speaker 1: recovering from her knee surgery. But there are other wives
7:35
Speaker 1: tells depending on where you were from, you know, if
7:39
Speaker 1: you and China, they would say that the dragon would
7:42
Speaker 1: come out and swallow the sun and they call fit
7:46
Speaker 1: back up, you know, for a total eclipsed. So each
7:49
Speaker 1: every FNK group, they had all of these superstitions surrounding
7:53
Speaker 1: an eclipse partially clips or as we saw yesterday, the
7:57
Speaker 1: full eclipse of this.
7:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, even the last cup eclipses again because we covered
8:01
Speaker 3: the agnausea. And they'd say, oh, they have more berths
8:05
Speaker 3: every time there's an eclipse. There's no berths. That's completely
8:08
Speaker 3: not true. I've looked into it. It's completely not true.
8:12
Speaker 3: An eclipse of the sun of the moon has no
8:16
Speaker 3: effect on the human body unless it's the sun and
8:19
Speaker 3: you stay right into it. Now, that's the only bad effect.
8:21
Speaker 1: Now again, the other old wives tale is if it's
8:24
Speaker 1: occurring near your birthday, you're gonna have health problems, true
8:29
Speaker 1: or not true?
8:29
Speaker 2: You sooth share. No, absolutely, how could that be true?
8:33
Speaker 3: Tell me how that goes.
8:35
Speaker 2: You know what?
8:35
Speaker 1: In order to find out when we return tomorrow, I'm
8:38
Speaker 1: going to the local gypsy down the box. I can't
8:42
Speaker 1: understand how they can rent these storefronts right at like
8:45
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars a month and all they do is
8:48
Speaker 1: read your palms.
8:49
Speaker 2: Right, I'm gonna ask, oh, that's right. You gotta call
8:51
Speaker 2: them Roma people. Now you can't call them.
8:54
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask them if that's true, because they are
8:56
Speaker 1: the guardians of all the old wives tales. They go
8:59
Speaker 1: from India to Ireland as they travel the tinkers across
9:03
Speaker 1: the European planes.
9:05
Speaker 3: You know, as I think about it, you go to
9:06
Speaker 3: the gypsies. I go to AI for information, and it's
9:10
Speaker 3: probably basically the same thing. It's pretty close in that
9:14
Speaker 3: I would love to hear from people about their experiences
9:18
Speaker 3: with these these lunar effects or solar effects. You know,
9:22
Speaker 3: the eclipses and solar flares we got before, the northern lights,
9:28
Speaker 3: all the things you've been told we're going to be exciting.
9:30
Speaker 3: You had to look at did it ever live up
9:33
Speaker 3: to the hype for any of you? And did you
9:36
Speaker 3: go outside to try to see this stuff? You go
9:38
Speaker 3: to the iHeartRadio app and you can leave us a
9:40
Speaker 3: talk back. You could win Curtis Leiwa and Larry Menti
9:43
Speaker 3: in the Morning t shirt. But that's going to be
9:45
Speaker 3: awarded every day at the end of the show. And
9:47
Speaker 3: while you're on the free I Heeart Radio app, go
9:49
Speaker 3: ahead and set a preset for seven to ten wor
9:52
Speaker 3: and don't forget the best talk back of the week
9:55
Speaker 3: takes home a sea crane radio for the listener who
9:58
Speaker 3: demands better Sea crane radio with legendary receptions. Hey do
10:02
Speaker 3: you like pop tarts?
10:04
Speaker 2: Oh? I loved pop tarts, but I was deprived of
10:07
Speaker 2: them in my ute.
10:09
Speaker 3: Oh what to get that story there?
10:11
Speaker 2: Never get over it.
10:12
Speaker 3: Let's get that story next. Because there's one guy that
10:15
Speaker 3: everybody knows that apparently has the secret affection for pop tarts.
10:22
Speaker 3: We'll tell you who that is. Plus get a chance
10:26
Speaker 3: to win tickets to see John Fogerty and Steve Winwood.
10:29
Speaker 3: That's coming up at eight twenty five. But I feel
10:31
Speaker 3: so sad for you, Curtis, your mother wouldn't let you
10:34
Speaker 3: have pop tarts.
10:35
Speaker 2: No, Francesca, he would not. I remember.
10:39
Speaker 1: I think it was nineteen sixty four, if memory serves
10:42
Speaker 1: me correctly.
10:43
Speaker 2: If not, then I gotta worry.
10:46
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I had just been transferred out of
10:49
Speaker 1: Catholic school Joe just fight nuns Saint Matthews, because the
10:53
Speaker 1: mother superior told my mother he's being stifled. You know,
10:57
Speaker 1: you got forty kids in a class summer learning, some
11:00
Speaker 1: ameds and MEDSA, some are slowly. You gotta send them
11:03
Speaker 1: to a public school. My mother thought I had done
11:05
Speaker 1: something wrong. So I get transferred. Halfway through the session
11:09
Speaker 1: and the first time I'm in the lunch room, some
11:12
Speaker 1: of these kids have pop tarts and they're swapping them.
11:15
Speaker 1: Had no idea what the hell a pop tart was?
11:18
Speaker 3: Really? Wow?
11:19
Speaker 1: No one of the kids, Lee Rosen, said to me,
11:23
Speaker 1: you don't know you want pop tart?
11:25
Speaker 3: Yeah?
11:25
Speaker 2: I got two. Here, I'll give you one.
11:26
Speaker 1: Oh man, that was so great, and once I ate it,
11:29
Speaker 1: I wanted it again. So I told my mother Francesca.
11:32
Speaker 1: When we were shopping, you know, in the supermarket Scaturo's.
11:36
Speaker 1: I think the Italian supermarket. I said, Mom, can we
11:39
Speaker 1: have a box of pop tarts? Not in my house?
11:42
Speaker 3: Why?
11:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, too much sugar? She said too much.
11:45
Speaker 1: She said, you'll be bouncing off the walls. You have
11:48
Speaker 1: toasts in the morning. You want butter on it? I said, Mom,
11:52
Speaker 1: I want Missoula margarine. It'll put a crown on my head. No, no, no, margarine,
11:56
Speaker 1: and that's fake butter for jelly. Yeah no, no, She
12:00
Speaker 1: much sugar.
12:01
Speaker 3: Wow, pop tarts were one of the greatest things that
12:04
Speaker 3: I remember from being a kid. I love pop tarts.
12:07
Speaker 3: I could eat a whole thing full of pop tarts
12:10
Speaker 3: and I kept eating pop tarts. I guess it's been
12:13
Speaker 3: years now, but man, I kept you to my adult
12:18
Speaker 3: I would I like them natural better than toasted. And
12:21
Speaker 3: I did like the icing on top when it came
12:24
Speaker 3: with it. Normally I wouldn't get it that way, but
12:26
Speaker 3: if they had icing, I would love it on top.
12:28
Speaker 3: I derived it was tremendous. You know who loves pop tarts?
12:31
Speaker 3: We found out Marco Rubio, or the Secretary of State.
12:35
Speaker 3: So he sat down for an interview with his wife, Jeanette,
12:39
Speaker 3: who is a WoT. She's funny. She I this is
12:42
Speaker 3: the first time I've seen her. But she's a riot,
12:45
Speaker 3: like she's not going to be held out. I'd almost
12:47
Speaker 3: like to see her as first Lady because she's she's
12:49
Speaker 3: gonna talk all the time. She might interrupt his speeches.
12:53
Speaker 3: So they were doing this interview when he was trying
12:55
Speaker 3: to be very officious, you know, because yes, and then
12:59
Speaker 3: they talked about something controversial. Do you support Maha? Do
13:02
Speaker 3: you support this new diet put by RFK? And he said,
13:06
Speaker 3: I like the idea of Maha, you know, he started
13:08
Speaker 3: giving a political answer. I like the idea. I have
13:10
Speaker 3: to say I don't follow it all the time. And
13:13
Speaker 3: then she interrupted, are you Maha?
13:16
Speaker 2: I'm in favor of Maha, like I think people should be.
13:19
Speaker 2: But I think ultimately he.
13:20
Speaker 1: Is completely not pop tarts.
13:23
Speaker 2: No, I don't need pop tarts every day.
13:25
Speaker 3: Okay, you eat sweets.
13:27
Speaker 2: Pop tart is one of the great American innovations.
13:30
Speaker 3: He went on from there, by the way, it's one
13:32
Speaker 3: of the great American innovations. I can't believe how they
13:35
Speaker 3: fold up the fruit inside like an envelope and you
13:39
Speaker 3: can actually just stuff it in your place.
13:41
Speaker 2: He's a junkie. He's a pop touch junkie.
13:43
Speaker 3: Doors pop tarts, but she kept interrupting through the whole thing. Oh,
13:47
Speaker 3: he's lying, he eats it every day. Yeah.
13:49
Speaker 1: And by the way, remember Robbie Kennedy Junior said that
13:52
Speaker 1: sugar is a killer and poptarch are loaded.
13:57
Speaker 3: As my mother Francesca said with sugar. You know, as
14:00
Speaker 3: I've watched as he's loosened up. Marco rubiov always been
14:03
Speaker 3: a huge fan of I do. I believe he's always
14:06
Speaker 3: many times he's the smartest guy in the room, and
14:09
Speaker 3: he's been doing a tremendous job as Secretary of State.
14:12
Speaker 3: I used to think this was JD. Vance's job to
14:15
Speaker 3: lose to get the nomination for president and the Republican Party.
14:19
Speaker 3: I would rather see Marco Rubio. I just think there's
14:23
Speaker 3: something much more human about him. And to have somebody
14:28
Speaker 3: with a Latino name on the ballot, to have the
14:32
Speaker 3: first Latin American president, would be great for the Republican Party.
14:37
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna happen. You don't think sta hillbilly, I'm sorry,
14:40
Speaker 2: it's stack hill billy.
14:42
Speaker 3: J Actually he was a hillbilly, So I can't even
14:49
Speaker 3: any to Silicon Valley gave that a he can be
14:53
Speaker 3: whatever you want.
14:54
Speaker 2: JD. Vans to be Remember Trump is Hitler twenty sixteen.
14:58
Speaker 2: Now he's the vice president.
15:00
Speaker 3: That's my point. That's exactly my point. He's he's too
15:04
Speaker 3: phony sometimes. I mean he's great at I agree, he's
15:06
Speaker 3: wonderful at it. This guy's real. I mean, this guy
15:10
Speaker 3: is like you know why.
15:11
Speaker 1: I like Marco Rubio. When he was running against Trump,
15:14
Speaker 1: TMG stopped him before he was born in a flight
15:16
Speaker 1: at Miami International. He said, what are you listening to?
15:19
Speaker 1: He at headphone? John He said, ed electronic dance music.
15:23
Speaker 1: Nobody ever talked about that. Dan, That's my favorite in
15:27
Speaker 1: my wife Nancy's favorite.
15:28
Speaker 3: Yeah. I really liked the guy a lot. And I
15:30
Speaker 3: think he's just very natural and uh and I liked Look.
15:34
Speaker 3: I like Joey d Van's he's amazing. He's great on
15:36
Speaker 3: the stump. I watched him when he was campaigning for
15:39
Speaker 3: vice president. I thought he was electrifying. He was one
15:42
Speaker 3: of the best I've ever seen. But Marco Rubio, it's
15:46
Speaker 3: a real chance for the Republican Party to win that election.
15:50
Speaker 3: Let's let's get to your talkback.
15:52
Speaker 5: Larry, don't be sad. I know you couldn't see the
15:54
Speaker 5: Aura Burrayalis or the solar eclipses. But what's most important
16:00
Speaker 5: is that you you did experience the solar eclipse of
16:04
Speaker 5: the heart. But when you consummated your relationship with Curtis.
16:07
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh my god.
16:11
Speaker 1: And let's face it, if you're like Gumby, you can
16:15
Speaker 1: see the planet Uranus.
16:17
Speaker 3: Right.
16:18
Speaker 2: Uh, they changed that to Uranus. They did for obvious reasons.
16:22
Speaker 2: And they got rid of Pluto.
16:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got rid of Pluto because it's just a
16:25
Speaker 3: big rocket. Turns out it's not a planet. But then
16:27
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, what are the other planets?
16:29
Speaker 2: Oh, no, Pluto. Who is Popeye gonna battle with?
16:33
Speaker 3: Oh, you wouldn't mean the dog, Okay, now, Blueto, Blueto,
16:36
Speaker 3: blut blue dough. You don't remember from the cartoons, Bluto.
16:39
Speaker 3: He was the big guy that Popeye would have a
16:42
Speaker 3: little spinach. I'm gonna give you a Popeye twister punch, Bluetoo.
16:46
Speaker 3: It's really hard to stay up with you. I can't.
16:48
Speaker 3: I just can't catch up all the time You're changing
16:51
Speaker 3: You change direction.
16:52
Speaker 2: Right too much, Bluto. Now, let's get to the news
16:58
Speaker 2: at six point thirty.
16:59
Speaker 6: With Dairy al Bingerderia money. Guys, Pluto is actually kind
17:02
Speaker 6: of a planet. It's a dwarf planet.
17:06
Speaker 3: You can't say dwarf anymore. Yeah, it's a little person planet.
17:11
Speaker 6: And I have to tell you the only reason I
17:12
Speaker 6: knew that is because I did the special report for
17:14
Speaker 6: ABC Radio when it was declared not a planet, and
17:17
Speaker 6: then I did the special report when they declared.
17:19
Speaker 2: It kind of a planet.
17:20
Speaker 6: So I know far more about Pluto than I ever
17:23
Speaker 6: thought I would want to know. That's even after working
17:25
Speaker 6: for Disney for a while.
17:26
Speaker 2: So I can make it now part of the planet.
17:28
Speaker 6: So it's like kind of like eight and a half,
17:31
Speaker 6: you know, not really nine.
17:33
Speaker 2: Just these people have to make up their mind.
17:35
Speaker 5: I know.
17:35
Speaker 6: Maybe we can get Neil Degrass, Tyson or somebody to
17:38
Speaker 6: explain it for us, right, he could do that. Chance

17:53
Speaker 6: anything to say about it.
17:54
Speaker 3: But it appears to be arbitrary and capricious.
17:56
Speaker 6: It appears to be in violation of a number of laws,
17:59
Speaker 6: including constitution. She and Governor Kathy Hoklell say if anyone
18:03
Speaker 6: in New York is hurt by those gloves, there will
18:05
Speaker 6: be legal action. Who controls the strait of Hormos Ron

18:39

20:10
Speaker 3: Alexandria Ocasio Cretez put out a video this week where
20:14
Speaker 3: she made it. She said, I'm going to tell you
20:16
Speaker 3: something very personal. I'm going to share with you some
20:20
Speaker 3: personal information. And then she said she was freezing her eggs.
20:25
Speaker 3: You know, my body, my choice. That's what the modern
20:28
Speaker 3: woman does, at least the modern democratic woman. You put
20:31
Speaker 3: career first, Always put career first. I have made the
20:35
Speaker 3: decision to start freezing my eggs, and I want to
20:41
Speaker 3: share that. So it was a very personal thing to share.
20:45
Speaker 3: I mean, my god, if women do it all the time,
20:49
Speaker 3: but they don't tell everybody, she let the world know.
20:53
Speaker 3: So then people started saying, well, she's still seeing her boyfriend.
20:58
Speaker 3: I mean, she's been dating this for a long time.
21:01
Speaker 3: Is she still with him? And then there was rumors,
21:05
Speaker 3: now long before she did that video, months before she
21:09
Speaker 3: did that video, she broke up with them. So of course,
21:12
Speaker 3: when she was out walking her dog, a reporter asked,
21:16
Speaker 3: are you and Riley Robbers still together?
21:18
Speaker 5: I don't comment on my private life, but thank you.
21:20
Speaker 3: Your mother wants that she loves Riley and wants to
21:24
Speaker 3: see you guys get married.
21:25
Speaker 2: Is she gonna get her wish again.
21:28
Speaker 1: I don't comment on my private life, but thank you.
21:31
Speaker 6: All right, is there anything else well you can tell
21:34
Speaker 6: us about the relationships?
21:35
Speaker 2: No, I'm sing she is.
21:37
Speaker 3: A good reporter and the barking was good in the
21:40
Speaker 3: background because she was a dogged reporter going after her.
21:43
Speaker 3: But how about the fact, Curtis, that she decided to
21:46
Speaker 3: share with the world one of the most personal things
21:49
Speaker 3: a woman can do and then just two days later
21:52
Speaker 3: say no, no, no, my private life is probably well.
21:55
Speaker 1: It wasn't just day one of introducing us to freezing
21:59
Speaker 1: her egg and taking those horse hormonal shots that my
22:03
Speaker 1: sister Alita did. Remember I told you Alita, at the
22:06
Speaker 1: age of fifty five, was the oldest woman ever to
22:09
Speaker 1: have twins in the United States. Wow, And she had
22:13
Speaker 1: to use that same procedure because of her age. But
22:17
Speaker 1: she's done a day too, and she's going to do
22:19
Speaker 1: a day three every time she has to take the shots.
22:21
Speaker 1: She's guiding women through the process. Okay, that's very personal, right,
22:26
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's anybody who knows more about
22:29
Speaker 1: AOC all out crazy Alexandrowo, Cassio Cortez, and ustruly Curtis
22:33
Speaker 1: Sliba because when she got elected. She claimed she was
22:37
Speaker 1: living in Parkchester in the Bronx. Her family had had
22:40
Speaker 1: an apartment. They left there and they went up to
22:43
Speaker 1: Yorktown in west Chester. You have to have some money there.
22:48
Speaker 1: She went to Yorktown High School. She wasn't Jenny on
22:51
Speaker 1: the block in the Bronx going up. She was Sandy,
22:55
Speaker 1: who then went on to Boston University, but claimed she
22:58
Speaker 1: was living in part Chesters. So what I did was
23:01
Speaker 1: I took a milk cart and then I put her
23:03
Speaker 1: picture on it. And it's a very vast complex. It's beautiful.
23:07
Speaker 1: And I went from a complex the complex, say did
23:10
Speaker 1: you ever see this woman? No, nobody saw it. Well,
23:13
Speaker 1: it turns out she's living in East Elmhurst now and
23:17
Speaker 1: apparently did break up with this guy. I used to
23:20
Speaker 1: call him carrot Top. He has red hair. They had
23:23
Speaker 1: met each other at Boston University. Then they broke up
23:26
Speaker 1: and they rediscovered one another, and apparently she decided that
23:32
Speaker 1: was it. It was over in twenty twenty four. We
23:34
Speaker 1: had no idea. So when she was being asked about this,
23:38
Speaker 1: you got to understand that, Hey, if you're going to
23:42
Speaker 1: open up part of your private life to the most
23:45
Speaker 1: intimate things that you're doing for yourself and maybe for
23:49
Speaker 1: your future child. You can't suddenly shut the door on
23:52
Speaker 1: a guy. You know, when it was embarrassing for her
23:56
Speaker 1: during the lockdown and pandemic of twenty twenty, you know,
23:58
Speaker 1: she was obviously a fauci i. You know, she's part
24:02
Speaker 1: of that devoted worship masks six feet. She went down
24:06
Speaker 1: to Miami Beach with Riley. You know, he's carat top,
24:09
Speaker 1: he's got the red hair. They were sitting there, they
24:11
Speaker 1: were drinking cocktails, no masks, no distance, laughing it up.
24:15
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no AOC. The rules are. You're running
24:19
Speaker 1: for public office. Everything is subject now to being on
24:22
Speaker 1: the radar screen. Trust me. I've been through the process.
24:25
Speaker 1: But so is Cuomo, so is Zorhan, so is Eric Adams.
24:29
Speaker 1: It's part of the projet. You can't suddenly close it
24:31
Speaker 1: just six all right. We went our separate ways, right,
24:34
Speaker 1: They were engaged. They went to Puerto Rico. They got
24:36
Speaker 1: engaged with a family. Oh, by the way, she can
24:39
Speaker 1: answer the questions she wants to answer.
24:40
Speaker 3: I get that. I understand that it's her personal life.
24:43
Speaker 3: She can answer the questions she wants to answer. But
24:45
Speaker 3: don't be a hypocrite about it, like you can't share
24:47
Speaker 3: certain things and then keep certain things secret, especially when
24:51
Speaker 3: they're related. You know that the two things are tightly related.
24:55
Speaker 1: Well, remember animal rights activists would normally take it at
24:59
Speaker 1: tesk because she didn't yet a rescue dog a French
25:02
Speaker 1: bulldog pedigree.
25:03
Speaker 2: But no, she has tughlon. You know, some politicians have it,
25:08
Speaker 2: other politicians don't.
25:09
Speaker 1: But she's the direct reverse of the speaker for the
25:13
Speaker 1: President of the United States who conducts those daily press conferences.
25:17
Speaker 1: We'll be able to ask John Decker about her leaving,
25:20
Speaker 1: and she is leaving for family because she had just
25:23
Speaker 1: recently brought her second child into the world.
25:26
Speaker 3: Think about this. First of all, she is the youngest
25:28
Speaker 3: Press secretary in history. She got the job at twenty
25:31
Speaker 3: seven years old. Already she had her second child, so
25:35
Speaker 3: she has two little children at home. She's very conservative,
25:39
Speaker 3: very Christian. You see that she wears a cross all
25:42
Speaker 3: of the time. She is the antithesist of AOC. We
25:47
Speaker 3: have complete opposite people that show us what the democratic,
25:53
Speaker 3: modern woke woman does. She freezes her eggs, and then
25:57
Speaker 3: what a woman who is a conservative Christian does. She
26:00
Speaker 3: goes home and makes the choice to be with her children,
26:04
Speaker 3: and man, I'm gonna miss her. She was a firestorm.
26:08
Speaker 3: She was maybe the best at twenty seven, the best
26:11
Speaker 3: press secretary I have ever seen, and the way she
26:14
Speaker 3: would take on reporters and she would do it all
26:16
Speaker 3: with a smile.
26:18
Speaker 2: How many have a criminal.
26:19
Speaker 6: Record versus those who are just in the country illegally.
26:22
Speaker 8: All of them, because they illegally broke our nation's laws,
26:24
Speaker 8: and therefore they are criminals as far as this administration goes.
26:27
Speaker 8: I know the last administration didn't see it that way.
26:29
Speaker 8: So it's a big culture shift in our nation to
26:31
Speaker 8: view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal.
26:33
Speaker 8: But that's exactly what they are. They all had a
26:37
Speaker 8: criminal record and welcome to the If they broke our
26:39
Speaker 8: nation's laws, yes they are criminal.
26:42
Speaker 3: She was amazing. I mean, she had the party line
26:46
Speaker 3: down perfectly, and she always defended the president. She never
26:51
Speaker 3: slipped up. She wasn't like Krarine Jean Pierre who had
26:54
Speaker 3: to find notes all the time and hemmed and hawed constantly.
26:58
Speaker 3: She was a motor mouth and that was not noticed
27:00
Speaker 3: by President Trump, who loved her.
27:02
Speaker 2: It's Caroline great. You know when she goes on television
27:08
Speaker 2: Fox like, I mean, they dominate.
27:11
Speaker 1: They dominate when she gets up there with that beautiful
27:13
Speaker 1: face and those lips.
27:15
Speaker 2: That don't stop pa pup like a little machine gun.
27:20
Speaker 3: He got criticized a lot for talking about her lips,
27:23
Speaker 3: but he adores her. The question is who now? Who
27:28
Speaker 3: takes that job?
27:29
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully he doesn't bring back the mooch Garmucci, who
27:33
Speaker 1: maybe was the absolute worst. What did he lasts like
27:35
Speaker 1: all of one week? I mean that guy looked like
27:38
Speaker 1: he was running a pumping dump scheme, you know, in
27:40
Speaker 1: a basement in bench hers. But we'll get into it
27:43
Speaker 1: with John Takey. He probably has a heads up on
27:45
Speaker 1: that in a seven o'clock hour.
27:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to know if there's anybody in
27:49
Speaker 3: mind and who's filled in. If you remember the last
27:51
Speaker 3: time they kept bringing in the cabinet, they didn't even
27:54
Speaker 3: let anybody. She was irreplaceable, and I think that she
27:58
Speaker 3: probably still is. Well, we want to go back to
28:03
Speaker 3: the midterm elections and the elections to come, because there
28:07
Speaker 3: is a huge scandal, as you know, in Ohio, and
28:11
Speaker 3: it's getting crazier by the day. We're going to talk
28:14
Speaker 3: about that when we come back. Also, let's talk about
28:18
Speaker 3: Sea Crane radio because the one that I love to
28:22
Speaker 3: have with me is the CC Skywave Radio two because
28:28
Speaker 3: it's always there for an emergency. Sea crane has what
28:33
Speaker 3: you need to stay ready when severe weather knocks out
28:36
Speaker 3: our power, and it's happened several times just this summer
28:39
Speaker 3: to many of you. It gives you a distinct alarm.
28:43
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. The CC Skywave Radio two gives you
28:46
Speaker 3: a distinctive alarm that alerts you when Noah issues warnings,
28:51

Speaker 3: eight hundred five two to two eight eight sixty three,
29:53
Speaker 3: or visit them online at scrane dot com. It's also
29:56
Speaker 3: available on Amazon Tunes instead. Well, I I'm still it's
30:02
Speaker 3: unbelievable that Max Miller. I'm still stunned that Max Miller
30:07
Speaker 3: is in the race. What a narcissist. Max Miller is
30:12
Speaker 3: a congressman from Ohio, and he was going to win
30:15
Speaker 3: his seat easily. He's in a Republican district. He was
30:18
Speaker 3: way ahead in the polls. It was something like sixty
30:21
Speaker 3: two to thirty three percent. Now all of this has
30:25
Speaker 3: come out about him. He's having a nasty, nasty child
30:30
Speaker 3: custody fight with his ex wife, who happens to be
30:35
Speaker 3: the daughter of the Senator of Ohio, Bernie Marino, and
30:41
Speaker 3: all of this is played out nationally. And you'll remember
30:45
Speaker 3: that Bernie Marino, because you know, the press was after
30:48
Speaker 3: him constantly to talk about it, to talk about it,
30:50
Speaker 3: to talk about it, and finally he stopped and said,
30:53
Speaker 3: I'll talk about it once. I'm not going to talk
30:55
Speaker 3: about it again. And he took a whole lot of
30:58
Speaker 3: questions and it was obviously emotionally straining on him. But
31:02
Speaker 3: one of the things really stood out that he said,
31:05
Speaker 3: because no one had heard this before. Now, Max Miller,
31:09
Speaker 3: in the fight with his ex, came out and said
31:15
Speaker 3: at one point that I'm going to release everything. We're
31:18
Speaker 3: going to put everything online so everybody can see all
31:21
Speaker 3: the back and forth and everything involved with the case.
31:24
Speaker 3: And oops, he puts something out there he shouldn't, and
31:28
Speaker 3: his former father in law was furious about.
31:31
Speaker 9: It Sunday when he went out and did what he did,
31:34
Speaker 9: including releasing photos of my granddaughter completely naked. That now
31:42
Speaker 9: you have hundreds and thousands of psychotic human beings that
31:46
Speaker 9: have that and they say, oops, is grotesque. My personal
31:50
Speaker 9: opinion is that this is a felony and that every
31:54
Speaker 9: single human being that touched that photo and transmitted electronically
31:59
Speaker 9: should go to jail.
32:01
Speaker 3: I'm a grandfather myself. I can understand everything he was feeling.
32:05
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if he was exaggerating a little bit
32:10
Speaker 3: about what happened, it doesn't matter. I'd be just as
32:13
Speaker 3: furious if a picture of my granddaughter was released. And
32:16
Speaker 3: of course, now what is happening is Emily Marino, his daughter,
32:21
Speaker 3: has filed a lawsuit saying that Max Miller, Congressman Max Miller,
32:28
Speaker 3: who's about to lose his congressional seat, recklessly published and
32:32
Speaker 3: disclosed to the world a nude image of their two
32:36
Speaker 3: year old daughter. Moreno contends the daughter is entitled to
32:42
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in liquidated damages for
32:46
Speaker 3: each time her image was downloaded from Max Miller's account.
32:53
Speaker 3: That can be a lot of money, Oh, no doubt.
32:55
Speaker 3: But here's a guy had two chances to opt out
32:59
Speaker 3: of the race. Uh ignored him, basically said I'm going
33:03
Speaker 3: to crash and burn and go down with the ship.
33:04
Speaker 2: He can't win.
33:05
Speaker 1: And Trump, he used to be an aid for Trump
33:08
Speaker 1: in his first administration, had a conversation with him, but
33:12
Speaker 1: did not tell him he needed to drop out. Told
33:15
Speaker 1: him it looks really bad. But I think what's happening
33:19
Speaker 1: because there are men on both sides of the aisle
33:21
Speaker 1: who have had major, major personal issues, that there's a
33:28
Speaker 1: thought process now in both parties that if we can
33:30
Speaker 1: find a capable female always go with the female because
33:35
Speaker 1: you never know the baggage that a guy has. And
33:38
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see that increasingly because yeah,
33:42
Speaker 1: women politicians have problems. It's usually money or other things,
33:47
Speaker 1: you know, and they're having an affair. On this side,
33:49
Speaker 1: we've seen that a few times. But these kind of
33:53
Speaker 1: really personal issues like Platner the Democrat, and what's happening
33:58
Speaker 1: with this guy, the Republican, I think is going to
34:03
Speaker 1: start affecting how choices are made. You're less likely to
34:07
Speaker 1: have a problem with a female candidate. If she can
34:09
