• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hour all eight o'clock.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Larry and natalie will be joined by jimmy failure you
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: go to sleep with him at night at 7 10
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: wr 9 and 10 you wake up with larry and
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: me in the morning at 6 and we have something
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: planned for him didn't have a chance to discuss it
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: with you larry or natalie things have been moving so
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: quickly ever since the Department of Health of the City
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of New York actually released the PSA, the way it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be done, with me and Zoran Mandami
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: getting our flu shots, I noticed that circulating around WOR,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: no doubt done by AI, artificial intelligence, sorry, Mr. President,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: not super intelligence, was a picture of me and you, Larry,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: holding hands while getting our flu vaccine.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Although you didn't sign up for that, right? No, I'm not.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And I'm thinking about being the first AI lawsuit. I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: going to sue over that because that was absolute defamation.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Absolute defamation. I can assure you it's gone. It appeared.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But I have convinced Tom Cuddy that why not the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: merging of the PM and the AM, me and Jimmy
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: failure together forever. sitting next to one another, right, holding hands,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: doing a PSA for all of our WOR listeners, those
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that choose to take the vaccine for the flu. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: both of us get the shots. I think that's a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: great idea. I think it's a wonderful idea. I think
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you should dress alike. It would be so cute.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: He can wear a guardian angel's outfit. Is he allowed to? Yes, absolutely.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Natalie, what do you think of this tremendous idea doing
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a public service for our W.R. listeners who can hear
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: this program all over the United States? Flu season coming,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and Japan is being ravaged by the flu. They've had
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: 36 straight days of rain. So I think we've got
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to really pin down Jimmy Don't Fail Me Now failure
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: when he comes in for the 8 o'clock hour.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I think he'd be all in, but I love how
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Larry is just pushing it over to Jimmy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, if you'd like to have
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: your picture taken holding hands with With Curtis Lewa. Just
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: go ahead and leave us a talkback and say you'd
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: like to, but you have to get your flu shot
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: at the same time. Go to the iHeartRadio app, leave
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lewa and
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt that's going to be
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: awarded every day to the talkback of the morning.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Just one request on that before we move on. Make
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: sure your hands are not sweaty. The mayor's hands, thankfully,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: were not sweaty.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you were going to tell me they were.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You remember the texture of his hands? Oh, yes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Man, I will never forget shaking Richard Nixon's hands in
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the White House when I was a newspaper boy of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the year. It was 1969. And that was the coldest,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: sweatiest hand I had ever shaken in my life.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I have nightmares from that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So I can assure you that Zoran Mondami's hands were
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: not clammy and sweaty. That's why I continue to hold
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: them all during that ordeal of getting by.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: What did he smell like? My smell is really not good.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think you know that. You were pretty close, though.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I was close. Smell like lilacs?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's the Department of Health. You know what the Department
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of Health smells like? A lot of Lysol. Yeah, exactly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of Lysol. Like a senior citizen home when
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you go to visit, like Lysol. But anyways.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I love that you're reminiscing about that moment, though. That's adorable.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It really is adorable. Man, has it reverberated all over
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Pro and con.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: For everyone who praises me for crossing the political line,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: another one wants basically to make sure I go away
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: for all time. But this is your day, Larry, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I don't want to rain on your day because today, Tuesday,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and Wednesday, and this includes you, Natalie, but not me,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: October 6th, October 7th, very big, because it's prime big
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: deal day with Amazon. Now, when we last visited you, Larry,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you were so into buying Amazon that you had boxes
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in your hallway, your foyer that you hadn't even opened
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: up yet. And you, Natalie, you always looking for Amazon deals.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And I told you about my wife. She's Miss Amazon.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: She orders nonstop, which really pisses me off because I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: hate Jeff Bezos. I hate his wife. I hate everything
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he represents. And actually, I think of him first and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: foremost as Mr.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Amazon. So Larry, are you looking forward to the start
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of the day?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't, I didn't even know it was
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: today until you mentioned it. I order from Amazon all
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: of the time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I order from Amazon all the time. If I need something,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I look at Amazon and it's amazing how quickly they
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: can get it to you. So it is an incredible
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: service and incredible service, but you know, I'm not, I'm
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: not a person. I never run out for sales. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: never think of Amazon.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I should.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's the right thing to do. It's
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: not the proper way to do things. Of course I
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: should be looking for sales. I never do.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Natalie, do you look for sales?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Excuse me? I'm looking at Amazon right now. Don't bother me.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: I'm looking how I can get a Lego river steamboat set.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: For 30% off.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. Wow. Now that's a good idea. $ 229
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: for Legos. Can you imagine?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: If I can get all of the Christmas presents.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Now through Amazon Prime, that's, thank you for that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I hate you guys for that. You want to.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Know how treacherous and devious I am? I come home
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: from the Atlantic attic on Sunday. It was raining, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a big crowd. And that's how I know we're doing well, Larry.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: As I mentioned, if people haven't heard it before, People
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: knew I was away on Friday. I was up at
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the University of Binghamton. They said, oh, we missed you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: with Larry on Friday. Very good sign. Very good sign,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: which means they've come on over to 710WOR in the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: mornings or they've stayed with 710WOR because they've been tried
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and true listeners. So Sunday night I get home and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: there is Nancy struggling. She had ordered from Amazon. There
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: was the big Amazon box, which had arrived on Saturday,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a filing cabinet.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: What?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: She was trying to put it together. She's very good.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: She grew up reading Popular Mechanics. I did not.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: She's looking for the instructions. I don't know where I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: put the instructions. And in my pile of papers, as
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you see before me now, was the instructions.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And guess what?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I tortured her.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You did not. I would not give her the instructions
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: because I hate every time she orders from Amazon. It
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: destroys the brick and mortar fabric of America, the shops,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the mom and pop shops.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: America is based on retail. And look at all the malls.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: All the malls that have closed. It's a filing cabinet.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Do you expect her to go on the subway, go
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: down to wherever, get a filing cabinet, bring it back?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: This makes it a lot easier for her.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I have another question. What kind of instructions come with
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: a filing cabinet?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: She has to put it together. Yeah, she has to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: put it all together.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It comes, you know, in one rectangular box, and now
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you've got to build it out. She's good at that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: but without the instructions, she's not that good.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a Timu filing cabinet. That sounds awful.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Now, I would never have done this to a Larry
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and Natalie if she wasn't constantly ordering from Amazon. I mean,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I'll be there in the afternoon. You know, she has
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to go out and work.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You know, the ring and the bells. She said, make
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: sure you answer the bell and you let them in.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't ring the bell. Well, they have to get
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it when you live in an apartment building. Oh, they
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to be.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You don't want them to leave it in the foyer
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: because then all the porch pirates will steal everything. So
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I got to ring the bell, and they never get
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in all the way, and you got to keep ringing
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the bell, and then finally they get in. And they
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: look like they could do a home invasion when you
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: actually see them at the door.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, man, if they weren't working for Amazon, some
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of these guys look like they could be doing a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: home invasion.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Well, we have a different experience completely. Our guys are
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the nicest guys in the world.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: They really are.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I had something delivered the other day that had to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: be signed for from Amazon. And so it was wine
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: that we ordered. We ordered like a case of wine.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: You ordered wine from Amazon?
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is a new revelation? Yeah, what else have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you ordered from Amazon? You are the celebrity shopper in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: your household.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that you did most of your shopping
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: by ordering on Amazon.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I insist, by the way, on doing all the grandkids'
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Christmas shopping. So when you mentioned Amazon, I went immediately
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: to Amazon to see what toys are on sale. If
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I can get all the Christmas shopping done now and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: not spend a fortune at the last minute, I'd be
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: a very happy person.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I'm still shocked about the wine Amazon order. You know
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: what's really bothering you about Amazon now? Well, it's not
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: even Amazon. It's my ring doorbell. See, I used to
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: be able to sneak the Amazon packages in because I'd
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: get home before my husband. Thankfully, the Amazon usually comes
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: before 3 o'clock.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I'd grab them. I'd stash them away.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Now, everybody has a ring doorbell.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: So you get the notifications, package at door, packages left
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: the door.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So my husband's like, what got delivered today?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, there's no way I can sneak the
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: packages in now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: This is not fair.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Because you are addicted. You are addicted to Amazon like Nancy, addicted.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And you, no doubt, next you'll be getting your groceries
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: from Amazon.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I've done it before.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Because they give you an ad every single time you
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: buy something. Would you like to buy this? And it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: all groceries.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, would you like to add?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And one time I looked at it and my son
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: loves to get pizzas. And so I ordered a frozen pizza,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: two of them. It showed up in an hour.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: An hour?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: It was at my door in an hour. It's because,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: you see, when you talk about the malls and the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: local stores and you want to support them, Amazon uses them.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Amazon uses a lot of their stuff to get to you.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: So if you talk to a lot of these local
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: stores and local workers, they love Amazon.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: What happened to all the anchor stores? They're gone.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks, they're gone. You go to Major Malls,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Bergen County, right? The mall capital of the world. Natalie,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: no doubt you shopped till you dropped.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: In Bergen County. There's a Macy's right down the street
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: from me. I mean, it didn't close down. Some of
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: them went down.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: No, but Bergen County, you know, you can't. All the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: stores are closed on Sundays. They observe the blue laws.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It used to be all, am I right, Natalie? All
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: malls with anchor stores. Are you kidding me?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Now those anchor stores are empty. They're closing, yeah. A
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: lot of them are closing. Because of Amazon. Because of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And what's the name of his wife? You know, the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: one with all the artificial things on her.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: What are the artificial things?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, from boobs to everything else. Oh, my God.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Lady, do you think you can wear a decent pair
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: of clothes instead of looking like you're in a strip show?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Only because we're in radio, so nobody can see your
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: hand effects. When you lift up your chest and say
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the artificial things.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hers are lifted. There's no doubt. And she
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: does it on purpose. She does it on purpose. I can't. Larry,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you just.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we got to talk about it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: The New York Yankees. They're not out. They're not out,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: but they are down. And few teams have come back
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: from where they are now. We'll talk about it next. Plus,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: a chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: starring the man himself from the movie. And he's the writer,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Chaz Palminteri. That's at 825. But first, I do want
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to tell you about LifeVac. You hear me talk about
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: this every day, and the reason I talk about it
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: every day is because I believe in this product so much,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and I think you should have one in your house.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: It would make me feel better if you had one
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: in your house, because choking can happen anytime, and when
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: it does, seconds matter. LifeVac is the first and only,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: this is important, only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: used for second-line treatment when the recommended choking protocols, like
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the Heimlich or just hitting somebody in the back, have
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: been followed without success.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And here's what's remarkable.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: LifeVac has helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. We had
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Arthur Lee, the founder of LifeVac, in here the other day,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: and he had on his phone, he just got a
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: notice that day, another person had been saved. So these
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: aren't just numbers. These are real people, real families, real
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby, LifeVac,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: can make all the difference in the world. So learn
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: and see how you can be ready when it counts.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So go ahead, Curtis. You're the big Yankees fan. Go ahead.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Tell us about the game last night.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, total disaster.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And I knew Tampa would beat us because they play
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: fundamental baseball like the Milwaukee Brewers do. I'd like to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: see both of them in the World Series so Americans
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: can see how you bunt, hit and run, and do
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: normal baseball other than swing for the fences, which is
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: all the Yankees do. So I think yesterday when you
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: saw the debacle, the total collapse of the Yankees in Tampa,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: it's the curse of Aaron Boone. He's been there nine
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: years as manager. Cashman, the general manager, 28 years. Time
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: to go, guys. Four errors.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Completely unacceptable. Three in one inning.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: You're in now, every game is the most important game
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: of the season at this point. And to commit four errors,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: but you've been talking about this for a while, and
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I saw it for myself, and I agree with you.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: They play small ball, and you can be extremely successful
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: playing small ball. Rice had two home runs for the Yankees.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: That's all they had. I'm going to take you to
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the fifth inning, and this explains. Two guys got on, singles,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: then stole bases. So they're set up to score. And
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: a guy named Richie Palacios came up. By the way,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Richie Palacios from Tampa Bay is from Brooklyn. He's a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn native.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Don't remind me. And here's what he did.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Now you've got second and third two out.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: He's had a misplay and an error in this inning.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Palacios, a bullet into center field.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The base hit. One run is.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: In.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Simpson. Here comes DeLuca and hits the nine. DeLuca scores.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: Richie Palacios.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Two RBI single makes it 5-1 Rays. Everything was singles.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Single, single, single. Stealing bases.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Bunts.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, everything was that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: And they.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And the Yankees all the time seem to be swinging
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: for the fences. How many long fly outs were there
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: to center field?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of strikeouts. By the way, the pitcher against
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: them had failed miserably for the Mets. They brought him
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: over from Milwaukee. And he was just a miserable disappointment,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Freddy Peralta. He found a new life in Tampa because
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: he won game two.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And you're right. And the fielding lapses were just unreal.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: You would say, they did.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Better in the Little League World Series and Williamsport, some
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: of those semifinal teams, than the Yankees did in game two.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what they really need? Aaron Judge.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: They need him back.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: No.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Well, it wouldn't hurt.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Well, he can't run. So maybe he DH. So you're
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: hoping that maybe he hits a homer or two, right?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Because that's all he can do.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: And then limp around the bases.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Can't even do that, apparently, at this point. Or he
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: would have been put in, not to the lineup, but
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: he would have been available to pinch hit.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: No, it's time. Aaron Boone's got to go. Nine years.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Brian Cashman, 28 years. Now, look, if the Steinbrenner family,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: all they want are home runs because they think that's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: what puts the fannies in the seats, you know, where
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you pay the big bucks, you're I have to take
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: a reverse mortgage and a payday loan to afford going
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to a game with the parking and, you know, a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: $ 20 dirty water hot dog.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, fine.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: But you're not going to win. You're not going to
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: get into the World Series. They're not the only team
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: that does this. There's a lot of teams in the
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: league that try the same thing. But what happens is
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: another team comes along, like Tampa Bay, that wins by
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: small ball. So we should be, if the Yankees are out,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: we should be hoping that Tampa Bay wins the World Series.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Because if they do, everybody will try that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Small payroll also. Minuscule compared to the Yankees and the Dodgers.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers is the other team. They may get into
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the finals.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: They may not.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But they had long ball. You know, every guy gets up.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Ohtani and everybody else. Hey, can we hit one out
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of the park?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: It's every team. It's every team these days. Let's get
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: some talkbacks.
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: Curtis, you just mentioned how treacherous and devious you are.
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: And what do you think your listeners should be thinking
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: right now when you're holding hands with the mayor of
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: New York? Treacherous and devious. Wow, you couldn't put it
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: any better.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: You see that? They turn on me because I do
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a good thing for a PSA. To prevent people from
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: getting the flu my age and older and then possibly
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: dying as a result.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: No, it was nice you did that. You didn't have
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: to hold his hand and look at him lovingly.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, didn't Taylor Swift ask Paul McCartney to play
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I Want to Hold Your Hand?
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: See, you can deflect to other people. This is you
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about. I'm just talking about you.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Don't be a homophobe. Well, okay. I'll let you be
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you and love be love.
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: I think I have the most obvious question of all
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: for Curtis is, Why is your wife buying a filing
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: cabinet in 2026?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Not for her.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: As you have seen my accumulation of paper.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. I don't let you throw anything away.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: See, I'm a murderer and she's tired of the files everywhere.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: So she's, You know, she's very compartmentalized, and she's an e-attorney,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: so she doesn't have any paper.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Everything is, you know, on the computer.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you had your real serious psychological problem with paper,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I've been in your office. I saw your office. Man,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that was piled up to the ceilings. That was wow.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like that. All right, let's get
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: the news at 630 with Daria Albinger.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: Daria.
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: Cool, breezy, and bright today with a high of 61 degrees,
• 18:49
  Speaker 12: and we've got a frost advisory for some places tonight.
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: Hundreds of students took part in a demonstration at Cornell
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: University yesterday to protest the school's handling of an alleged
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: 2024 rape at a fraternity house. ABC News obtaining recorded
• 19:03
  Speaker 12: phone calls from the former student who's now being referred
• 19:06
  Speaker 12: to as Jane Doe that she made to her alleged attackers.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: In the two days before she actually reported this to
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: the Cornell University Police Department, she called three of the
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: men who allegedly assaulted her and asked them in some
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: ways to recount the evening in.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Their own words.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: She secretly recorded these phone calls and basically asked them
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: to help her better understand what happened that evening.
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: ABC's Peter Haralumbus. Governor Hochul has declared a state of
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: emergency in New York as measles cases continue to rise
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: and urges residents to make sure that they're up to
• 19:36
  Speaker 12: date on their MMR vaccinations. In a related story, New York,
• 19:40

• 19:43
  Speaker 12: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over changes to the
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: childhood vaccine schedule. Well, it isn't often that Republicans and
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: Democrats agree on things, but officials in both parties in
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: Connecticut are condemning a white power rally over the weekend
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: in Danbury.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Officials say it was a group called Northeast Action that
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: took to Main Street Danbury Saturday night and, with faces covered,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: chanted white power, did the Nazi salute, and held a
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: sign reading, keep New England white. Danbury's Democratic mayor called
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: the group the Modern KKK and said we will unmask them,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: but Danbury police say the group was on the sidewalk
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't look like they broke the law. The
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: top Republican in the state Senate among those condemning what
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: he called a disgusting event. There have been pro-immigrant rallies
• 20:28

• 20:43
  Speaker 12: Instead, his body was placed in another man's casket and
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: displayed at the man's wake. Yankees lose Game 2 of
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: the ALDS to Tampa Bay 5-2. Game 3 is tomorrow
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: night in the Bronx. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria. Well, thank God.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Finally, finally, we have some smart people that are delving
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: into the AI issue. New York City Council. We've been
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: waiting for them. Forget all of the brainiacs out in
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Silicon Valley. Forget all the world leaders. The New York
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: City Council is going to solve this problem, and they
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: had a hearing yesterday.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Wait till you hear it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: You're going to know that I'm being sarcastic. Plus, WOR's
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon will be in studio with us for the
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: 8 o'clock hour. That's coming up. There is a global
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: initiative right now to handle what are the perceived problems
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: with AI. There is a national consortium that's getting together
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: with all the top AI companies that met for the
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: first time at the White House. And there are congressional
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: and Senate hearings on this with many of the experts.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: But thank God, thank God the New York City Council
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: is weighing in on this. Because when you think of
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: global problems with AI, when you think of artificial intelligence
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: and high tech, Right away, you think to yourself, well,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: what does the New York City Council think about this?
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Because they may be able to solve the problem. And
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: so the only person, by the way, for their hearing
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: that showed up in person was the one guy that's
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: everywhere now, Jacob Coxon. He is the anthropic whistleblower that
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: was the first one out to say, you know, AI
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: could destroy the world. There's a 10% chance that AI
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: could destroy the world. So he got up in person
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and testified first.
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: We do not know how to control any AI system yet.
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: So any AI system that we build or perhaps more
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: accurately that we grow, we don't fully control it. We
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: don't understand its drives or why it does the things
• 22:50
  Speaker 13: it does. That was the first thing that became apparent.
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: The second thing is that the pace of capability improvement
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: is accelerating and the capabilities of the models next year
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: will be.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Very high.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: So he's still all doom and gloom. The world is
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: going to end. Nobody else seems to be on board
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: with him, but he's going to get the most attention.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: But I want to take you now to the New
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: York City Council, because they had four other representatives from Google,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: from Meta, from OpenAI, from Anthropic. They were all there.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: They had four of them in a box, and they
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: were appearing via streaming.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: And so.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: City Council opened up questions to them, and it didn't
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: go well because the questions that were asked, you could
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: tell the people thought either weren't appropriate or weren't the
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: best questions to ask. So I'm going to give you
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: one of these so you can hear the way it went.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: This is Julie Mennon, the head of the City Council,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: leading off questionings.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: As you all four are under oath, we want to
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: hear how each of you quantify the risk imposed by
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: AI in the worst case catastrophic scenario.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: So she used big words and everything, quantify. And then
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: she was completely shut down by Morgan Dwyer, who is
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: OpenAI's head of policy and operations development.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 24:23
  Speaker 14: I also don't think it matters whether it's 1% or 10%
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: or 20% chance that something catastrophic will go wrong.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: None of these levels is remotely acceptable. We should not
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: train models that we cannot make an extremely strong case
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: that we can keep under human control.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: So that was a great answer. What she's saying is,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: does the percentage matter? Does the percentage matter at all?
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: If it can happen, it can happen. We have to
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: shut that down. But Julie Menon, she was insulted.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, but to say you don't know and it
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: doesn't matter is flippant at best.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: That's not what she said.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I know most of the 51 who serve in the
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: city council. You need actual intelligence, AI, actual... Just to
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: deal with this subject. You and I, we've been dealing
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: it for months. We're not qualified to speak on it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: And yet, you know what they did over the weekend?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I got inside information because the staff does all the work,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: as you know. And staff, you know, people get elected.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: They come and go. They're term limited. But staff remains
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the same. So many of.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Them had no idea what AI was.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: So they got together and he started binge watching some
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: of the movies about AI over the weekend.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: The Matrix trilogy, back to back to back. And 2001
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Space Odyssey. They had their crib notes. They knew nothing
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: about this. Now, Julie Menett.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Press the panic button. She called the committee of the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: whole meeting. This is only done on special occasions. The
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: last time, all 51, you got to be there or
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you get no discretionary funds. When Adams, remember Eric Adams
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: was spending $ 7 billion of our money to shelter the
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: That was a crisis. This is not.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: You know what is a crisis? Legionnaires disease. It's popped
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: up again. North Shore Towers, Glen Oaks. They all listen
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: to talk radio. I've spoken there twice during the campaigns.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Packed.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: They're all senior citizens. This is right near the border
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: of Nassau County. They got their own golf course. Two
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: people were in the hospital. They don't know the origin. Remember,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: this hit us in the Upper East Side. It hit
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: us recently, the South Bronx, even Yankee Stadium.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Do you think.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's a subject that they ought to be delving
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: into since it seems to be spreading all over the place?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: You know, stay within your lane. Exactly.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: This apparently is a hot topic right now, and we
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: need to stay on top of that Legionnaire's disease. No,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: thanks for bringing that up. That's a big deal.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: There is a benefit here. By her reminding everybody, you're
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: on the oath. I'll tell you what Schumer just did,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: and this is what they all do. Schumer's daughter was
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: just hired by OpenAI after she had worked with Amazon.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: OpenAI, Sam Altman. So you see.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: The companies come in, they know they have no power,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: no jurisdiction because it starts with the feds and then
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: everybody else follows. But you can offer jobs to friends
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: and relatives, legislative aides, the lobbying firms. You get people
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: placed because now you develop relationships. It's adversarial, but it's friendly.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Just follow the money. That's all it is.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: The city council can't do anything. They still have bureaus, Larry,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: where they're using floppy disks. And they're worried about artificial intelligence.
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: Oh, no.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Obviously, she didn't know what she was talking about. But
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest problems I have with all of
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: these hearings, and not just at city council, but also
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the congressional hearings, almost every political hearing is that they
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: go in with an agenda and their agenda was to
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: attack these people. And that was it because that would
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: make them look good. They know that people are scared
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: of AI. They wanted to be the Avengers going in
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: to take on AI and they were out of their depth.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: So these people, I would love them. If you have
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: the experts in AI and the people they had, they
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: actually sent some pretty good people. I mean, not sent, they,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: they at least set up on camera. that they had
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: some pretty good people. You have a brain power there.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Understand it. Ask them questions. Get a better understanding of
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about. They skipped that part. They skipped
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: the knowledge part and went right to attack, and they
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: end up looking foolish.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Now, Julia Menon, you know, threatened subpoenas, you're under oath.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You know who told her, go F off?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk. I know.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He said, why not send in any representative? This is nonsense.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: He said what everybody knows. They have no jurisdiction. They
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: don't understand AI. The president was a little disappointed because nobody,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: including the experts, referred to AI as super intelligence.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he wasn't that upset.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: But up next, oh, people are sitting shiver. The televangelist extraordinaire.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: There was a day he was the number one go-to
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: guy in America. Oh yeah, Christian Broadcasting Company, 700 Club.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Baker, remember with Tammy Faye Baker in the mascara
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: when she'd be crying coming down the cheeks, passed away yesterday.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And remember Jessica Hahn? Oh, we've got a lot of
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: ground to cover up next.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I heard the announcement yesterday, Larry and Natalie, that televangelist
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Jim Baker had kicked the bucket at 86. And I
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: know for some people, they don't necessarily... gravitate to the
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: name right away, but I'm telling you, in the 1970s,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: in the era of televangelists, and that includes Billy Graham,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcast Network, who went on
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: to run for president, Republican primary. Jimmy Swaggart, I have sinned.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: And of course, Jerry Falwell, who turned that into a
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: political movement. Nobody was bigger. Nobody was bigger than Jimmy Baker,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: along with his wife, Tammy Faye Baker. who would always
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: cry at the appropriate time on television, and her mascara
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: would run. A million dollars a day they were bringing in.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Prayer rags, the whole nine yards. They were on TV
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: every day. The PTL Club, top rated of all the televangelists.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: And they ran the third most traveled to amusement park
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: in the country, including they had more people than Dolly
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Parton had coming in. It was Disney World number one.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Disneyland No. 2 and Heritage USA Theme Park No. 3
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The money was coming in
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: hand over fist. And then all of a sudden, Jim
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Baker was traveling through Nassau County. Don't fail me now, failure.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: We'll be joining us in the 8 o'clock hour. Maybe
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: he remembers Jessica Hahn, the 21-year-old church secretary of one
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: of these mega churches out there. And Jim Baker had
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: taken her, along with John Wesley Fletcher, another Holy Roller minister,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: drugged her and raped her at a hotel out near
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Mass Pequot, where Jessica Hahn was from. They knew they
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: had trouble because she did it. This was not consensual.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: So he gave her $ 300, 000 in hush money, you know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: through the PTL club. And then eventually it blew up.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: The whole world knew. Obviously, the donation stopped. Jessica Hahn
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: became a regular guest of Howard Stern, who was also
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: from Nassau County. She did a spread for Hugh Hefner
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: and Playboy magazine. She went on to become a girlfriend
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: of Sam Kinison. The comedian was in his videos. So
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: he had a whole nother life. But Jim Baker had
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: to go to prison because the feds moved in on
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: him and indicted him on multiple counts of fraud, 25
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: counts of fraud. because he was just bilking all the donors,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: sentenced him to 45 years, but he only did five years,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: paroled out in 1994, had his comeback, you know, small,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: minor cable station, but was still ripping off people in
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the middle of COVID, telling them you could buy these
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: conic elixirs and it would protect you from COVID-19.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Do you remember in the middle of that scandal, when
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: on Nightline, Tammy Faye and Jim Baker appeared? It was
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: one of the most iconic nightlines. This is a show
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: that started with the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, but
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: one of their most famous and one of their most
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: highest-rated shows was this one, when they were not talking.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Tammy Faye and Jim Baker, they were not talking, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Ted Koppel got him on the show.
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: Tammy and I have gone through a devastating time. Tammy
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: started first with pneumonia. And then we went through the
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: Betty Ford's program. And then this thing came and just
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: crushed us so deeply. And we didn't want to get
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: in the fight. It was like a circus. We couldn't
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: believe it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: So he never really directly went at the accusations against them.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: It was just poor, poor, pitiful me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: In one week, I raised $ 30 million at one time
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: last year. And Tammy's records and our books and all
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: have brought in literally millions of dollars. And instead of royalties,
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: we took a salary controlled by the board of directors.
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: And I feel that... We should have said no. We
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: will not receive that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: That wasn't the problem.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: That's how he tried to deflect all of the financial accusations. That,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: wait a second, I didn't control anything. It never came
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: through me. The board did all of that. Maybe I
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: just should have said no to them because I would
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: have done this for free.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: He decided to turn everything over to Jerry Falwell because
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the other guy who came in and tried to take
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: over everything from him with his downfall was Jimmy Swaggart
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I have said. The televangelist movement
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: is so filled with fraud. Guys who turned out to
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: be homosexuals who railed against homosexuality. It's just one after
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: another after another. They reach the pinnacle of success and
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: they feel they're omnipotent. There's idolatry involved. They may have
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: had a little storefront church at one point. Maybe they
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: were true believers. And then it all went to their head. Boy,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Jim Baker, what a downfall. But Tammy Faye is the
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: one you'll always remember. The mascara running down his cheek. Jim, Jim, oh,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: let's say a prayer to Jesus right now. Anyway, up next,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: John Decker is following the president on the campaign trail.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: We'll hear from him right after this 7 o'clock news.
