  Speaker 1: So for all of you who are listening and want
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: an update on the letter theft that's been taking place
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: out of the blue mailboxes that I've been personally involved with,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not giving it to you now, Natalie or Larry
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: or our audience. I'm going to give it to you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: at the end of the program. And boy, there's a lot.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: There's a lot between what happened yesterday, me stopping the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: two banditos, getting the letter, showing how it is they
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: steal mail out of the blue mailbox. But let me
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: just do a quick PSA. Do not mail in a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: blue mailbox because you're Santa Claus. They're going to steal
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: your mail. And it's not just the mail with maybe
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: something of value inside. They discard the other mail that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: they're not interested in. But we'll discuss that at the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: end of the program.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: So cancel all your morning plans. Three hours from now,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: he's going to give the update.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And it is fascinating.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Or if you're not with us, you could go to
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the podcast later.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: There you go. Very good, Natalie. What a great producer
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you are. But I'm telling you, it had a fascinating
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: twist this morning. But a huge story, and this is
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: affecting all of society. So no matter where you are
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: throughout America, it could be rural areas, suburban areas, municipal areas.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: New survey, single men aged 20 to 39. There's been
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: an increase by 50% since 2000 of those who are
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: not getting married. And not because they're gay. You know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: they're just not getting married. So gays can get married,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: by the way. Yes, yes, they can. And they're not
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: getting married either. They're not getting married either.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know why their marriages last.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: No. Did you notice that? No, actually, the percentages are, Larry,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the same amount of breakups, close to 50%.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I just looked this up. If it's two males, right?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, two men.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Two men, they last the longest. If it is two heterosexuals,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It's the second most. The most divorces are with two women.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So if you think about it, the more women, the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: greater a chance of divorce.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Somehow I think you've turned those stats upside down, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that's fine. But this is affecting everybody out there. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the single men numbers have gone from 20. 0.7 million
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to 30.4 million ages 20 to 39 who have just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not tied the knot. And it's not because they had
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: an early marriage that didn't work out and they decided, hey,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: maybe marriage isn't for me. They just have not decided
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to get married. So unmarried young men now outnumber married
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: young men in the U.S. nearly two to one. So
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: 30 million unmarried young men, 15 million married men. Now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: 68 percent of them still hope to get married in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that 20 to 39 age category. But I got to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: tell you, it's a lot different than when you were
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: growing up, Larry. I was growing up, Natalie, and you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: were growing up. the whole circumstances now have changed.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So you have how many? I have three sons. And
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: so I have a 30 something, I have a 20 something,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and I have a 19 year old. I'm all over
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the place. None of them are married. Not one of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: them are married. Not one of them's even talking about
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: getting married. The whole landscape has changed. And the whole landscape,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: even in dating, has changed. I mean, Men, especially in college,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: they're very fearful. But then even young men are sometimes
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: very fearful. All the rules have changed, and men now
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: sometimes are seen as being almost criminals. I mean, they're
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: afraid that they're going to get in trouble. If they
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: do the wrong thing with a woman, they're so afraid
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: these days because the law so much skews to the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: women's side. that any accusation can ruin your life. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying this because I've heard my sons talk
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: about this, how you really have to find a woman
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that you can trust. And how do you find that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: out early on? I mean, you have to go out
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: with them a couple of times, and even then they're suspicious.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So it's really, there's this toxic male syndrome out there
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: especially among women and especially ones that go through college
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: because college, they get, they get classes about this. They
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: have symposiums about this, about what to be careful for
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and how to report. And so all of the rules
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that we went through when we grew up, which were fine,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: by the way, have changed and, and changed. And so
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: men are now guilty until proven innocent.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Now I believe, that this survey does not take into
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: effect the number of men and women, or men and men,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: women and women, who shack up with one another and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: don't get married.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You know, for periods of time. They live together. You know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we used to call it common law. They say, you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: can't call it common law anymore. It used to be
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: common law. I would say that to my father. I'd say, hey,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Cousin Vinny and Shirley, they're living in the same apartment.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: What do you call that? Dad, they haven't gotten married. Well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that's common law, you know, common law. Now you've gone
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: common law. It's like people are looking at you. It's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: not common law. So I'm confused about that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. Except I have three kids that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I talk to, you know, and talk about their how
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: worried they are. But the fact that it's on their heads.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: But you're right. I mean, I do know a whole
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: lot of couples.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You know why?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons is marriages are so expensive. Like
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: if they're a young couple and their parents aren't going
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to kick in. they don't want to go through the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: marriage thing. You know what I mean? And many of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: them believe, why do you even need marriage? I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: why does the state have to sanction or the church
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: have to sanction this?
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: And it's now more acceptable to live with someone.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You go back.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: 40 years, even 30 years, people are like, oh, they
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: were living together. And now it's like, okay. So then
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: they live together and be like, okay, well, why should
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: we bother at this point?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I remember when my daughter got married and I looked
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: at her and I said, look, this is how much
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to spend on your wedding. Do you just
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: want the money? I'll hand you the money and then
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you won't have to go through the wedding. We can
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: have some small ceremony. She still wanted the wedding.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think my dad might've said that to me too.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And I was like, nope, I want the wedding.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: To me, that's crazy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I think about it now and it's crazy.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Yes. I remember one of my uncles saying to his daughters,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just elope. Go ahead, elope. Wait. And then I'll act surprised. Oh,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. We were planning a big wedding, me
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and your mother.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Curtis.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We had no idea. But, you know, once you elope, oh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that meant you had sex. So, hey, you can't interfere.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: They got married at the Justice of the Peace in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But my uncle said to her, elope. Don't worry. We'll
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: act surprised. Like, we're shocked.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: That's so funny. That is really funny, except for the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: fact I don't understand. And you were offered the same thing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what it is about the wedding thing.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: I don't know either.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: With women that they want so much money spent on it,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: but it's wasted money.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's totally wasted money. I have been planting the seed.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: My kids are both in their early 20s. No plans
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: whatsoever of getting married anytime in the near future. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I've been planting the seeds about elopement. I'm like, oh,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: he'll be so romantic.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Are you giving him money?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I'll give him a little cash. But I'm like, just
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: get a lope. Who wants the big wedding?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: That's what I said. I said, go to the islands.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You could have a nice just private wedding down there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You and your husband. Bring people with you. I've given
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you enough money. You can bring people with you. They
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: can be the witnesses. But I noticed. No, but no,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and it cost a lot more than the check I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: was offering.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: That with dating, unlike in my time, where it was common,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you would go by yourself and, you know, you would
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: check out the scene. Now, the guys show up with
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a posse and the girls show up with a posse.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It's like sometimes they're walking down the block, there's 8,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: 10 or 12 young ladies together or 8, 10 or
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: 12 young men together. It's almost like they feel awkward.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Just being by themselves walking into, let's say, a bar
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: or whatever social occasion is happening. I never thought about that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think in our generation we wanted to show
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: up with a posse. If anything, we wanted it to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: be you, yourself, and I.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: That was your competition.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I think what you're saying is outdated, too, because most
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of the people now are going online. Have you seen
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the numbers for these dating apps?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see the advertisements in the subways every day. Grindr, Grindr, whatever,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all these places. Oh, we're better than that one. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you'll see.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Women just, and in my family, I've seen women that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: are just swiping and you see them on their phone.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And finally you ask, what do they do?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: And they show you, they're looking at guys.
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: Nope.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Nope you know.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe so you don't go to a matchmaker any
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: longer somebody who can do a shit action hook you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: up it's like you go on to grinder and all
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: these other and.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Then you have a conversation a little bit with the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: person online to see if you trust them you feel
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: them out you go to meet them for the first
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: time with a friend believe me i've gone through the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: entire thing i got a huge family now how do.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know it's not all ai generated well when you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Can I also let, Curtis, just so you know, Grindr
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: is for the LGBTQ community.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: No, I have no idea.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Just so you know.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Advertised all over the place.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: It's not like Match.com.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I think that was a tell. Wasn't that, remember the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: guy up in Maine, the lobster guy? oyster, whatever? He
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was on Grindr, remember? That's how he got cold busted.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So that meant he was gay?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to assume so.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: All right. It's okay. Whatever floats his boat.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: That's what Grindr's app is for. It's for, you know, LGBTQ.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: How do you know that?
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: It's just something that you know.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Just inquiring.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Although I'll have to tell you.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: What's it like being on Grindr?
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I've never been on any app. And I'm so thankful
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: that that was before my time.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Because that sounds awful.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It sounds crazy. The whole thing sounds crazy. But I'm
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: telling you, it is pervasive. It is constant. You can
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: see a bunch of girls or guys sitting together. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: they're not even talking to each other. They're online looking
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: for people.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So they're shopping. It's like another form of shopping. They're
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: shopping for a potential boyfriend, girlfriend or whatever.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: It's Amazon for relationships.
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Although I do have to say there is some hope
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: because I have been seeing, I mean, my daughter and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: her friends, not very much into the app. You know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: they were all doing them and then they're like, this
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: isn't working out. Like, we don't like this. So there
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: are a lot of like groups popping up where they're
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: kind of meetups. Meet up and play pickleball. Meet up
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: and play, you know, go to a run club.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But the benefit for guys if they decide they just
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to get married, right, is they're not thought
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of being gay anymore. In our generation, if you weren't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: on your way to getting married, remember Larry's people were like, hey,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: maybe the guy's gay. Who knows? Maybe he doesn't like women.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, nobody thought I was gay.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, this conversation.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But it is true. Other than a Mama Luke who's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: 45 years old, still living at home with his Italian mother. No,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he can't find anybody better than that. How do we
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: get people on?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I will get them. But I will tell you a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: couple of gay friends once told me you're the most
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: heterosexual person I ever met in my life. While you
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you could win a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the morning t-shirt, which will be awarded every day to
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the best talkback of the week takes on the Seacrane
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Radio for the listener who demands better. Sea Crane Radio
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: is with legendary reception. When we come back, an update
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: on the Bodega Cat. There may be charges, plus a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: chance to see Richard Marks at age 25.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Well, we thought the story of the Bodega Cat was over.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: The kitten is back with the bodega owner. They're happy.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: The little three-month-old kitten had replaced his long-term 17-year-old bodega cat,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: who unfortunately had passed away. We saw the video. The
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: kitten was snatched up outside of the bodega by the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: man and the woman, and the person had warned him, hey,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that's the bodega's cat. Okay. So the woman gets taken
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: in because she sends her stepson to the local police
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: precinct to return the kitten. And the kittens returned to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the bodega. So no longer any friction with the bodega owner.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Now the woman is all upset. Why did they arrest me?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: It was my husband, as you can see in the video,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: who took the kitten. I'm going to sue. Now, she's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not suing the bodega guy. He probably doesn't have two
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: nickels in his pocket to rub together. Going to sue
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: who else? The NYPD, right? And more than likely what's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: going to happen in most of these cases, they settle.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So she's going to walk away with money. But she
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: ain't giving it. She's loud, abrasive. I'm going to sue, sue, sue.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Because there's a whole legion of lawyers out there, Larry,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: who every day practice their martial art. I sue. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they're more than happy to file with Corporation Counsel. And
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Corporation Counsel never argues. They do.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: What can we settle on? She's going to make money
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: from this. Oh, I get it. I get it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But we said immediately, we said immediately, why would they
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: arrest her when it was the guy that had the gun?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: So why would they go after her? I mean, was
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: she an accomplice? But if she's an accomplice, why didn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the other guy get charged?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: No, she's blaming the husband. So NYPD, arrest the husband too.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Put him in cuffs. Take him on a perp walk.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That would be funny if the NYPD said that.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: We're going to come and get your husband. But they won't. Meantime,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: what about Duct Tape Man?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Well, Duct Tape Man doesn't remember anything. He does nothing.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: He's like ashamed. He can't believe he's hearing the story
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: for the first time. He went to court. And the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: judge told him, you know, you did this, this, this,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: and this. In first class.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: First class. Everybody knows the story.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: He got duct taped because he was saying the plane's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: going to go down and he was hitting the person
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: next to him. And when they went to stop him,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he scratched at them. He was crazed. He was a lunatic.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And if you remember, they said at the time he
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: looked crazy. I mean, there was absolute fear in his eyes.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: But he's in front of the judge, and this is
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: my favorite line in his testimony, my favorite line. They
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: told him that he assaulted a police officer, because he did.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: He assaulted a police officer and went to stop him.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: And he went, I assaulted a police officer?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Is that what it says?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't have my glasses on.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: We all know that feeling, though, honestly. But we talked
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: to the duct taper and I love I got to
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: reach out to him. Love to get his reaction about this.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: This is so funny that he went. Here's more testimony
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: of him.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. What a mess.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I don't remember any of this. Shocking. Wow. That is insane. No,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: but that's a good defense because there is no defense
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: other than that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Here's another one. So the judge says to him, what
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: brings you to Maryland? He goes, wait a Maryland. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: came to New York City. I don't know how I
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: got to Maryland. I was supposed to land in New Jersey. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: they landed in Maryland because of you, dope. That's exactly why.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: But good try. Good try. Well, we'll see.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Sometimes this kind of stuff works. Now let's get to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: some talkbacks.
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: Curtis, Larry, my second wedding to my ex-wife, known as
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: a demon beast, Satan, and the seventh layer of hell.
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: That was a $ 5, 000 wedding at the American Legion. Decked
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: it out.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Big old smorgasbord full of food.
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: Everyone was dancing. It was only $ 5, 000.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe you should have spent more.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Man, you almost made me spit the water out of
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: my mouth.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I almost did a spit take on Demon Beast.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Very good. My first marriage, crazy expensive.
• 17:01
  Speaker 12: My second marriage, I got married at the TD Bank
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: by a notary public in South Carolina on Hilton Head Island.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And your bride was happy with that call back? I
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: want to hear how she felt about it. She must
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: have said okay, too.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: He's a regular, and yes, he's very happily married. He
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: always talks about, he actually refers to her as my bride.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: There's the secret to a marriage. Yeah, just go to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: TD Bank. And get married. And get a notary to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: just sign off on.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: That's all you really need, legally, is that's all you
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: really need.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I got to jot that one down.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Now, let's go to Daria Albinger with the 630 News.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Cloudy, warm, and muggy today. You're going to feel it
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: this morning. It's a little more summer-like than it's been
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: the last few mornings. We'll see a chance for a
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: shower this afternoon in a high of 80 degrees. Police
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: are looking into a stabbing at Westchester Community College, which
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: left three people wounded.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: Cops received numerous calls from the SUNY campus around 12.40 p.m.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: On Wednesday.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I see at least five people fighting, right?
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: And then one of them appears like he's limping and
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: then covered like blood.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And then he falls like all the world, all that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: stuff is right there.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Police recovered a knife outside the student center. Two suspects
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: were taken into custody. The victims are expected to survive.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: It is unclear if all those involved are students since
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: the school does have an open campus. I'm Lizzie Radabali,
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: WOR News.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: New York State is launching a new effort to reduce
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: the risk of floods and mitigate their impacts. Governor Hochul
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: announcing a partnership with state and federal environmental officials on
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: a first in the nation. hydrologic monitoring network with gauges
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: that will look for flooding patterns. It will be funded
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: by the state's Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Act.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: An attempt by the Trump administration to dismantle three federal
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: agencies may be held up in court.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: A U.S.
• 18:48
  Speaker 13: Appeals court in Massachusetts appeared skeptical Wednesday about dismantling the
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: Minority Business Development Agency, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
• 18:56
  Speaker 14: And the U.S.
• 18:57
  Speaker 13: Interagency Council on Homelessness. A Department of Justice lawyer argued
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: that a lower court judge had wrongly blocked the administration's
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: actions affecting the three agencies. The appeals court said the
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: agencies weren't congressionally created. and claimed the administration was trying
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: to avoid judicial review.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: I'm Tammy Trujillo. President Trump says the Kennedy Center will
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: be ripped down if he's not recognized for renovations. This week,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: a federal judge blocked the center from adding the president's
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: name to the building. The Center for the Performing Arts
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: was opened in 1971 in D.C. as a living memorial
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: to the late President John F.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: Kennedy.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: The Mets and the Yankees both lost last night. Next news,
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710-WOR.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Mayor Mondami has urged to merge 200 public schools that
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: have less than 200 students. I and Larry will break
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: it down for you. up next. But right now, oh boy,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you're into concerts. Yeah, we're going to be talking about
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Macklemore and Ed Sheeran later on in the show. Don't
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: miss our iHeart Radio Music Festival presented by Capital One.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: There's no controversy involved in this. It's tomorrow and Saturday.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: We've got the biggest names across all styles of music
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: together on one stage and one weekend, including Snoop Dogg,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Google Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, and more. Streaming live
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: on Disney Plus and Hulu from the T-Mobile Arena in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Well, schools, schools, schools. That is the Achilles
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: heel of Zoran Mondami, and that needs to be focused
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in on. In fact, I made it a major issue during...
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: The mayoral campaign, but Larry, nobody paid attention. I said
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you could cut $ 10 billion from the Board of Education,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: which is now called the DOE, Dumbest Organization Ever's budget.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It's now $ 42 billion. It's one-third of the overall city budget.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I said $ 10 billion, and you don't lose anything because
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: our kids, especially at the lower levels, are not able
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to read or write. at a performance level. They can't
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: function past fourth grade. That's it. It's over. And it's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: getting worse now in the first year of Zoran Mondami.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: So there is an idea coming out of Coney Island,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a regular elementary school. They say, let's experiment there. The kids,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: they're not coming to school. They're missing 18 school days.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't have the old truant officer that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: comes to your house. Nobody cares. They're not reading or
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: writing at grade level. disruptive in the class, let's start
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: teaching them some vocational education. Let's start testing them in
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: these levels, see if there's any interest at all to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: pursue other forms of education. It's almost like putting the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: hook out there with a carrot and then trying to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: get them into a normal educational cycle. And I say,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: why not? It's one of over 200 schools in the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: whole system that has less than 200 students. Can you
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: imagine this? A public school with less than 200 students,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and they're keeping them open at enormous cost. During the campaign,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I said, let's conflate these. Let's merge all these schools together.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. We used to have over a million students.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: We now have about 850,000 students, and yet we're spending
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: more money and not sort of accommodating the fact that
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: there are less students. So it's a good try, right?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: And yet the opposition, no, we can't do that there.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: The city council is now more interested, Larry, in revisiting
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the old issue of why are there so many Asian
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: kids in the specialty high schools? Now, Zoran Mandami, he
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: went to Bronx Science Specialty High School. You had to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: take a test. Jumaane Williams, number two, public advocate, he
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: went to Brooklyn Tech Specialty High School. Obviously, it helped them, right?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: You got to take a specialty. Now, the city council,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: instead of dealing with the poor-performing schools and the poor-performing children,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: they want to say, we got to cap the number
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of Asians who are going to the specialty high schools.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: What the hell is this?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Which is completely unfair. It's unconstitutional. It's already been ruled
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: on by the Supreme Court. Remember the famous case against
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Harvard where they were not accepting some Asian students even
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: though they were more qualified than people that were being accepted.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: And the Supreme Court said you can't do that. You
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: just can't do that anymore. So I would think that
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: it would have some weight in this case as well.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But listen, this is a problem in big city schools
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: across the country. And I know New York is unique.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: But one of the things that's happening right now is
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: there's just a loss of people in the city. I mean,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: this city is bleeding population at this point. And thank you,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Zohra Mamdani, and thank you all of the other mayors
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: and your democratic policies. You made the city unlivable and
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: people are leaving in droves. But one of the other
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: reasons that people are leaving, they're leaving because of the
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: school system. And the school system has an endemic problem.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And not only the one you talked about, although that
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: is An exam. No, it's a huge problem. The money
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: they spend on this school system without money going to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: educating kids in the bureaucratic jobs that they pay for.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Is outlandish. They need to cut that immediately. And you
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: campaigned on part of that. You can save all the
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: money by cutting some of these positions.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Ten billion dollars, I said. And it's at the top
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of bureaucracy. There are other levels. But they say you
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: can't do this. Nobody will vote for you if you
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: want to cut the educational budget. So Zoran didn't. Cuomo didn't.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But I stood there and said, we could cut $ 10 billion.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: But you're not cutting the educational budget.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: You are cutting the fat. And so the fact that
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: they can't see that is a bigger problem because I
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: think they can see that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: But currency.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Among politicians are patronage jobs. So they're going to pack
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: any board they can with people that give them money
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: or friends of theirs or political allies of theirs. And
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: that's what happens in the city. And they never cut
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: that ever. This is city after city. This isn't just
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. When I was going to
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: junior high school, If you weren't doing that well, the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: guidance counselor would meet with everybody and they would sort
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of try to guide you to the right kind of
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: high school. So if you weren't doing well, hey, Vinny,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: how are you doing in Woodshop? You're not going to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: make an academic high school. Why don't you go to Westinghouse?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They'll teach you carpentry. They'll teach you electricity, plumbing. So
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: they were guiding you by the time you were like
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: in seventh grade, eighth grade because they're looking at your
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: marks and they can see you. You're not even keeping–
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you can't even read at grade level. You can't do
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: math at grade level. But vocational– you seem to be
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: doing good in metal shop, wood shop, culinary, art. They
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: would try to guide you. They won't let them do
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that anymore. Yeah, but what if they teach them how
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to read before then? I mean, listen to what you're saying.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: You're saying, oh, they can't read and they can't do
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: math at a certain age, so let's go to wood shop.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Teach them how to read and teach them how to
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: do math young. These teachers, they don't care, and they're
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: protected all the time by their unions. I'll tell you
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: a quick story. I had kids in private school, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I had one son that went to public school, right?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: And when my daughter would fall behind in private school,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: or my two other sons, it was like a SWAT team.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: We would get phone calls. They'd talk about tutors, all
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: of these. What's the strategy for this? All of that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: My one son falls behind in a class... for, I
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: think it was math. He had like a D and
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: he was in high school. And I go to meet
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the teacher and the teacher said, I said to him
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: right away, I said, look, can he do anything? I mean,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: can we do some extra credit? Can we do something?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: He said, what does he have? And I said, he
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: has a D. And he goes, what do you want?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And I said, I'd love to try to get- I
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: want the D to become a B. I stammered just
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: like I did right now. I said, no, I'd love
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: him to have a B.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And he goes, okay.
• 27:17
  Speaker 15: That was it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Now, I still feel guilty over that for not saying, no,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I want him to work for this. But no, I mean,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: he was getting a B and he was trying to
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: get into colleges. And so, but can you believe that?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: They didn't care.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Half the people didn't show up when it was the
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: point all night.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: So there's the problem. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about these kids.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Stop pretending like you do. I'm done. Oh, you want
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: me to do the tease now? Yes, yes.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: All fingers are pointing at you.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Donald Trump says Butler, the attempt
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: was a democratic plot. The assassination attempt in Butler was
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: a democratic plot.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Seems feasible to me. I don't know.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Also, Alicia Keys and friends are joining the 2026 Global
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Citizen Festival lineup. They joined previous announced performers. Listen to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: this lineup. Lauren Hill and Wycliffe Jean. When did he
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: become Jean? Wycliffe Jean, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Laney Wilson,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: and many others with Hugh Jackman hosting. Saturday, September 26th
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: on the Great Lawn in Central Park. Tickets are free
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: and can be earned by taking action. Download the Global
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Citizen app for more information. As you know, there's a
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: lot of information coming out all of the sudden about
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2019 on then-former president,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: current presidential candidate Donald Trump. You'll remember he just happened
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: to turn his head at the right time, and that
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: prevented him from being killed. He was just nicked in
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the ear. It was a miracle at the time, and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: everybody's been quiet about it. All of a sudden, evidence
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: went missing. No answers to many of the key questions,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: like why was that building not covered? How did Crooks...
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Get on to that building. How did nobody notice him
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: up there? Why did they cremate the body? None of this.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: And it's now being investigated and it's slowly coming out.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: And with the new attention on it, Donald Trump overnight
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: on Truth Social wrote this, everybody knows the crooked Joe
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Biden FBI didn't do what they should have with respect
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: to the lunatic who shot me in Butler, Pennsylvania. I
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: think that's all true. By the time I got into
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: office on January 20th, most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: or gone. Which, by the way, the FBI says is true.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: New info was just found.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Why wasn't it seen long ago?
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Great question. This was all a Democratic plot to get
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: me out of the election that failed. Dirty cop Christopher
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Wray should pay a price for the way he handled
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: this assassination attempt and certainly for the things he said.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: God bless America. Make America great again. President Donald J.
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: Trump.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second. The FBI director, what was his name?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Christopher Wray. Who appointed him? Donald Trump. It was Shamuel
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Jefe Chris Christie who recommended him to replace Comey. Remember,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Comey gets replaced by Christopher Wray. So your FBI director
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: now is in collusion with everyone in the Biden administration
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to whack Donald Trump. Man, I don't understand why the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: president does these things.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Because it all sounded true to me. What was wrong
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Who appointed Christopher Wray?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I don't care who appointed Christopher Wray. I really don't care.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, you seem to grab on to these little
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: straws in a bigger story. It's not a little straw.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: It is a little straw. It is exactly a little
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: straw because Christopher Wray resigned almost immediately when Donald Trump
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: got elected. And so Christopher Wray wanted nothing to do
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: with this. Files are missing. So everything he said is true.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: And so what you're saying is, well, you can discount
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: the entire thing because... No, no.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: So now you're claiming it's a Biden plot to have
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: him assassinated.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying there's a whole
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: lot of questions that he raised that are... It's mysterious
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: that they are not being answered. It's mysterious that... that
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: files are missing. It's mysterious.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Rather than the FBI.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Let me just finish. They got the C team on
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: that day. They were looking up how to drone.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, Mr. Conspiracy. The Secret Service was in charge
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: of that. Who's in charge of the Secret Service now?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: The actual Secret Service agent who is at the side
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, Ed Butler, right?
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: My God, you know what? I'm a journalist. I deal
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: with facts. I don't deal with who is who, who
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: is at the top, who who's here.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: No, you're not dealing with trash.
• 32:25
  Speaker 16: Yes, I am.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: There's things that happened on that day on the ground.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Are you blaming the Democrats for an assassination of Donald Trump?
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Just stop. You're sounding crazy.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: No, you're sounding crazy because all of those things that
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I just mentioned are facts. That's factual. We don't have
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the answers to any of those things. We didn't have
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: the answers that day. We still don't have the answers.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: So what was Trump's tweet?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: And files are missing. It's a democratic conspiracy, right?
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: So that's what you want to focus on. Go ahead.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: You go ahead and blast Donald Trump like you always
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: do because of something he said.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: No, I don't always do that.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: You do it all the time. And forget the story.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: The story is true. That's what I'm focused on.
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Everything.
• 33:08
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: All that stuff happened. Okay.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Tell me one thing that I said.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Christopher Wray, appointed by Donald Trump, right?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: He got corrupted.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: So you're going to ignore all the facts of that
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: assassination and just keep saying, Christopher Wray.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: How about let the facts come out of the Grassley Committee?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: How about not hiding documents?
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: How about the president not tweeting away like a madman?
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: WOR White House correspondent John Decker talks about the midterm
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: campaigning right after the 7 o'clock news. Well, we are
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: in full swing with the midterm elections and Congress is
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: already adjourned. Let's ask John Decker about that. John Decker,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: WOR White House and Washington correspondent, host of the podcast,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. which can
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: be found on the iHeartRadio app. Well, John, I feel
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: like with you in Washington, you look at Congress and say, hey,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by. I mean, that was a quick visit,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't it?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it was quick.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: Two reasons why the House has already gone back to
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: their home districts. One, they want to campaign. The Republicans
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: are very much concerned about the dynamics leading up to
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: the midterms. and as a result, they want to get
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: back to their home districts. The other reason, there was
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: going to be a privileged resolution voted upon on the
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: House floor. The resolution would be considering the impeachment of
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. That resolution brought up by
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: Thomas Massey, the Republican from Kentucky. That now will not
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: be brought up, at least in the short term, because
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: the House has adjourned for a number of weeks until
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: the midterms.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: John, you mentioned the resolution by Massey to have Secretary
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: of War Pete Hegseth impeach. The story that really didn't
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: get any traction that I was really interested in, and
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were, is there was
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: talk that the Pentagon has deployed weapons in space, and
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: then I didn't hear anything more about it. Can you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: flesh that out for us?
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: Well, just that, just a confirmation. That's pretty rare, too,
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: when you factor that in, Curtis. You know, a confirmation
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: of what you just said, that the Defense Department has
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: deployed weapons in space. Obviously, the U.S. is in a
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: space race. We're in a space race against Russia, in
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: a space race against China. And that's the reason why
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: I think they publicly made that known in terms of
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: what the U.S.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Has already done.
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: And, you know, that's I think the next arms race
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: that we're going to see involving those two superpowers.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: So interest rates go up a quarter of a point.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: And I thought Donald Trump handled it pretty well. He
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: was tempered. It sounds like Kevin Warsh is the Trump whisperer.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: He knows how to handle him. He called him before
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: and told him the reasons.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that's right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: And the president put out a social media post, also
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: spoke to reporters before he boarded Air Force One yesterday saying,
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: What essentially the president's thinking is, is he's angry at
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: the Fed itself, but he's not angry at the person
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: that he put to lead the Fed. And that's Kevin Warsh,
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: who replaced Jerome Powell in mid-May. And so the reason
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: that the Fed raised interest rates by a quarter of
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: a point announced yesterday has everything to do with inflation
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: worries and persistent inflation worries lasting perhaps through the end
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: of this year.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Now, John Decker, maybe you can help me and our
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: listeners with this Kennedy Center issue. The president, I guess,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: yesterday said, look, if you don't put my name up
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: on there, you can rip down the Kennedy Center. How
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: did it get to this point?
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: Well, it got to this point because this is something
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: that is near and dear to the president. He wants
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: his name on that building. And, you know, even if
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: it means not having the necessary repairs done to the
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: Kennedy Center. He's essentially holding that hostage. The president's fine
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: with that. The president says that he will essentially stop
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: any new repairs, any new renovations happening at the Kennedy Center,
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: unless and until a federal appellate court agrees to allow
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: him to affix his name to the facade of that building.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: And that's where we are right now. It's pretty remarkable.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: A federal judge has already ruled that Donald Trump's name
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: cannot be put on that building. It can only be
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: done through an act of Congress. And so that's been
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: made clear to the president. And in the meantime, there
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: is a tarp that is on the front of the
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: Kennedy Center. And the reason for that, the administration says,
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: is to protect the marble. There are those that say
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: the reason for that is the president just doesn't want
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: to see John F. Kennedy, his name, and his name
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: alone on the facade of that building.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the new focus on the assassination attempt
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump back in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2019, because
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: some new information, especially about Thomas Crooks, has come out,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: but not enough information. I know there have been hearings
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: about this, and I know that there have been investigations.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: But there's so much that we still don't know. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I saw that Truth Social post overnight, and putting aside
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: the political accusation that it was a Democratic plot, he
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: had some really good points that, of all the things
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: that happened that day, that we still don't understand to
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: this day.
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that's all right. You know, I find
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: it odd it's coming out at this particular moment in time. Remember,
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: the president is doing everything he can, including that rally
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: that he had yesterday in North Carolina. to energize his base.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: And this is something he believes would energize his base.
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: So the rally last night for Michael Whatley, who's running
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: for the Senate in North Carolina, Republicans are hoping to
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: hold on to that Senate seat. The president putting out
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: that social media post overnight. You may recall in the
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: Rose Garden just the other day, the attorney general Todd
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Blanch was asked about this, and he didn't really have
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: anything to add in terms of pointing fingers at any
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: individual or any administration in terms of what happened to
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: the president, that assassination attempt with the president while he
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: was on the campaign trail in July of 2024.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: He did say at one point the same Justice Department
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: that was investigating what happened on that day is the
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: exact same Justice Department that tried to put the president
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: in prison for the rest of his life. That was
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a pretty strong comment.
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: Well, it is a strong comment. Remember, it's the Secret Service,
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: the U.S. Secret Service, whose job it is to protect
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: the president. So it really has nothing at all to
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: do with the Department of Justice in terms of what
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: happened on that day. That being said, if the DOJ
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: finds there was any kind of wrongdoing, any kind of
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: fault associated with what happened in mid-July of 2024, they
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: certainly can do what they need to do in terms
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: of bringing charges against any individuals that did not live
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: up to their duties on that July day.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Now, John Decker, we have gone from zero miles per
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: hour to 2,000 miles per hour in terms of discussing AI,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, the benefits, the dangers. But yesterday, as you
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: pointed out, as the Senate and the House are closing
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: up until after the midterms, this I didn't understand. The
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Senate blocked a kill switch bill? I mean, they were
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: already talking about a kill switch bill. That would suggest...
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: that they're taking seriously a lot of the warnings of
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the CEOs who say, we need the government involved. We
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: can't control this anymore.
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, look, if you listen to the people that,
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: you know, would be in the know about this, that's
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: the CEOs of these tech companies, these artificial intelligence companies
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: like Elon Musk, rather than to the politicians, then you're
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: likely to see legislation come forward from Congress. But based
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: upon what the president put out on social media yesterday,
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: earlier this week, any bill that comes out of Congress
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: attempting to regulate the AI industry, I think is certainly
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: going to be vetoed by the president.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: He's made that clear.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is odd, and I kind of agree with J.D.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Vance on this. It is odd that all of these
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: companies are coming and saying, hey, we want to be
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: regulated by the federal government. And as Scott Besson said,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: A couple of times he said, you want to regulate,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: regulate yourself. Why do you need the government? Just put
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: on the guardrails yourself. It is an odd situation, John.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: Well, it is, but I think that when you have self-regulation,
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: it's just that. You're in a competitive environment. One company
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: may abide by those self-imposed regulations. Other companies may not.
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: But then if you have federal regulations imposed, It's an
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: even playing field for all of these AI companies. And
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: I think that's the reason why you do have the leaders,
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: the tech leaders of these companies coming forward and saying
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: we'd like the federal government to come in and regulate
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: our industry.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: They're far ahead. I just wanted to comment. They're pretty
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: far ahead. That's why they want this. Go ahead, Curtis. Oh,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm done.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Very quickly, have you noticed we haven't discussed Iran at
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: all with you at this point? No. Is that because
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: we're just at an impasse and I think everybody accepts
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: this is just going to drag on?
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that's right. We may not talk about
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: Iran in the sense that there's an ongoing conflict every day,
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: but we are talking about– The impacts of that conflict
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: and gas right now, according to AAA, on average, $ 4. 44
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: a gallon across the country, much higher in California, well
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: above $ 6 a gallon in California, much higher in a
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: lot of Western states like Alaska as well. So that's
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: something that when you look at the calendar, I think
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: we're 47 days away from the midterm elections. That's something
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: that weighs on families, you know, and their budgets, the
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: high price of gas, and the President and Republicans very
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: much well aware of that, and they are concerned that
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: that would be the overriding factor that leads Democrats to
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: take over the House and potentially the Senate as well.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: John Decker, WRR White House and Washington correspondent and host
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: which could be found on the iHeartRadio app. Thanks again, John.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: Thanks, Curtis.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Have a great day.
• 44:14
  Speaker 17: Bye-bye.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Up next, the psychedelic pop artist Peter Max. Oh, yeah,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn guy has died at 88, and we've all had
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: experiences with him over the years. We'll relate that to you,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: plus a chance to see Richard Marx at 825. The
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: artist Peter Max, extraordinary guy. I got to know him.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I know you've had an experience, Larry. Natalie, you had
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: an experience. But I would say coming out of our era,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: There was the weird one, Andy Warhol. And there was
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Peter Max, the guy from Brooklyn. But when I met
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: him up at his apartment art studio, which is right
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: across from Lincoln Center, it was amazing because it's like
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: two Brooklyn guys who got together. He went to Lafayette
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: High School. He was in the class with the great
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: actor Paul Sorvino. But then he told me, because, you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: I always ask you, where are you from? Where were
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: you born? He goes, well, you know, Berlin, then my
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: family went to Shanghai, then Israel, then Paris. I said,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: how the hell did you get to Lafayette High School?
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: He goes, I really didn't want to leave Paris, man.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I was really starting to get into art. But hey,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and then he became the master of just
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: not that art of that era, but doing prints, prints
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: of the art and selling it. And I said, Peter,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: how come you're selling so many prints? And he goes,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I hope you never experience what I do, Curtis. Alamode. Alamode.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: But he passed away, unfortunately, from dementia. But, I mean,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: he was the kind of artist you could have a
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: normal conversation with.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dead at the age of 88. I never got
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: to talk to him, unfortunately. I did see him paint
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: one time. He was down at the Bicentennial for the
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: country in Philadelphia, and he was painting paintings. one of
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: his Statue of Liberty heads. And so years later, I
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: went to an auction and he bought, he bought, he
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: made a lot of them. I mean, there are the
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: prints and then he made a lot of originals because
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: he did them in different colors.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Remember that?
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: He'd get a theme and he'd just do them in
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: different colors. So I'm hoping I have an original. I
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: have to know.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: You have to go to an art authenticator there, Larry.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I bought it.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Let me see. I bought it at an auction on
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: a cruise, so it has to be real.
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: How?
• 46:37
  Speaker 18: Right?
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: It has to be real.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: It has to be. We'll take it to Sotheby's to
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: get an auctioneer to authenticate that piece.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: I know. I was looking it up just now, and
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, there's a lot of fakes.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: I'm so annoyed because I had an opportunity to meet
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: him a few times. Also, up in his Lincoln Center
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: apartment slash studio with.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: Of all people, Alan Combs.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: And I was super young. I had really no clue.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure I went home with something. And
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know where that is anymore.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, no.
• 47:15
  Speaker 18: Oh, no.
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: You got to start looking.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's way gone.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Now let's get some talkbacks.
• 47:20
  Speaker 19: Curtis can be a real gavone when it comes to
• 47:22
  Speaker 19: politics at times. Not all the time, but at times.
• 47:26
  Speaker 19: But I think he's got a point. Trump is just
• 47:28
  Speaker 19: going out of bounds lately, accusing the Democrats of being
• 47:34
  Speaker 19: part of that assassination plot. It just goes too far.
• 47:38
  Speaker 19: He made the same mistake towards the end of his
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: first term. He's like a caged animal. And he's got
• 47:44
  Speaker 19: to keep his eye on the prize, which is the midterms,
• 47:47
  Speaker 19: or else he's going to lose them, which I think
• 47:48
  Speaker 19: they will.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, because there's never been a conspiracy to kill a
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: president in American history.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: That's so out of bounds. Of course it could happen.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I do think the accusation went a little bit far,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: but everything else he wrote, everything else he wrote was true.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: And why isn't there a deeper investigation into that?
• 48:11
  Speaker 20: Curtis, you're wrong. Larry got you. If I remember correctly,
• 48:15
  Speaker 20: the head of the Secret Service was a close friend
• 48:18
  Speaker 20: of Jill Biden. She told Joe Biden, oh, she's a
• 48:22
  Speaker 20: friend of mine, blah, blah, blah. You should appoint her.
• 48:25
  Speaker 20: She had no credentials. She had no credibility to be
• 48:29
  Speaker 20: the head of the Secret Service. She just did it
• 48:31
  Speaker 20: as a favor. So they should start their investigations.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Sure, ineptitude and competence, I agree. She should not have
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: been in the job, but to create a conspiracy out
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: of that, man, you're going to need a lot more
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: information coming out of those Grassley, Senator Grassley hearings.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: It is weird they're hiding everything, though. That is strange
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: that they can't find stuff.
• 48:55
  Speaker 9: My first wife cost me $ 500. It lasted two weeks.
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: And I got the ring back. The second wife cost
• 49:04
  Speaker 9: me about $ 300. And I gave her the same ring
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: that I gave the first wife. My third wife, I
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: just went to the justice of the peace. I've been
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: married for 32 years.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: See?
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: There's something going on.
• 49:20
  Speaker 10: Here.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Well, this is all based on us talking about how
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: few young men are getting married now. It's an incredible ratio.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Two to one are not getting married up until the
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: age of 39. And we've had all these stories of
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: men calling us on the talkback who talked about how
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: they learned from the first marriage, how they cut costs.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they just elope?
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: What he was getting at, though, is the less you pay,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: the longer it lasts.
• 49:47
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: The justice is the peace thing is going strong here.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I know. My first wedding, guys, party center, Akron, Ohio.
• 49:55
  Speaker 9: We're just back there recently for another venue.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Top of the.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: Line wedding, now $ 57. $ 57?
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: What are you people doing? I need to talk to everybody.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: I need to get to a support group with everybody
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: that just called.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Remember, the other week we did this story that New
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Jersey has per capita, per person, the highest expenses for
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: marriages now of any state in the United States. New Jersey.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. I think it was like, it starts $ 57, 000.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: I saw something else, which doesn't jive, that they are
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: the third happiest state. Now, that doesn't make any sense.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: If there's marriages are up and people are happy, those
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: two just don't go together, do they?
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I'm still understanding $ 57. Even per person, that's the biggest
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: bargain I've ever heard in my life.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News. Daria.
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: Well, don't they say happy wife, happy life?
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not true.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: Not too sure about that.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: Gone.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, she can't be listening.
• 51:05
  Speaker 18: Good.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know about that.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: Cloudy, warm and muggy today with a chance for a
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: shower this afternoon. And a high of 80 degrees. Officials
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: from the MTA and New Jersey Transit are in New Washington, D.C.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: They're driving for more transit funding.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: MTA CEO Jano Lieber and NJ Transit President Chris Colori
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: were among 15 agency heads who traveled to the National
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: Transit Safety and Security Summit.
• 51:28
  Speaker 21: We are dealing with international and national actors who are...
• 51:32
  Speaker 21: posing security threats. So it's time to revisit the shrinkage
• 51:36
  Speaker 21: of federal support for security and mass transit.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: Agencies shared their methods to boost safety, including increased patrols
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: and modernized fare gates. The summit comes as federal public
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: transit funding is set to expire in December. I'm Lizzie Radabali,
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: WOR News.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: The U.S.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: Will reportedly not intervene in the conflict between Saudi Arabia
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: and the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
• 51:56
  Speaker 18: U.S.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: Officials met with Houthi leaders Over the weekend, the militant
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: group is said to have reassured the U.S. that it
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: has no intention of attacking American ships in the Red Sea.
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: Police in Brooklyn are looking into the discovery of a
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: woman's body in a trash can. They responded to a
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: 911 call about the incident, the body found in a
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: parking lot in Sheepshead Bay. Security preparations are underway for
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: the U.N. General Assembly, which begins next week.
• 52:23
  Speaker 22: Leaders from around the world will be gathering in midtown
• 52:25
  Speaker 22: Manhattan to discuss world challenges and issues prompting street and
• 52:29
  Speaker 22: lane closures and causing traffic headaches.
• 52:31
  Speaker 17: There are no expected threats that we know of.
• 52:33
  Speaker 22: Mayor Zoran Mamdani, who previously called for the arrest of
• 52:36
  Speaker 22: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says he will not attend
• 52:39
  Speaker 22: any protests, but instead will focus on preparedness.
• 52:42
  Speaker 17: To ensure that we're able to both address the global
• 52:46
  Speaker 17: conversation that is happening here in our city and the
• 52:48
  Speaker 17: very local concerns that New Yorkers have about traffic and
• 52:51
  Speaker 17: their ability to get from point A to point B.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: And the takeaway from this one, two words of advice,
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: mass transit. Mets and Yankees both lose. Next news, 8 o'clock,
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Daria. Well, OpenAI discloses six new incidents concerning
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: AI behavior. They're begging to be regulated. That's a little suspicious.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it coming up next. Now let's talk
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: about the CC Radio 3, a great radio for your house.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: It's the almost everything radio. It's all you need. With
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: the addition of Bluetooth, you now have an immense palette
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: of radio shows and podcasts available from any smartphone or speaker.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: The CC Radio 3 has great reception for long-range AM
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: FM stations, along with emergency capabilities Like NOAA weather and
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: the two-meter ham band. You know why that's important. Reliable communication.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Staying connected. That's essential during unforeseen events like a horrible snowstorm,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: a horrible storm. If you listen primarily to voice content, well,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: the CC Radio 3 is worth the price alone. Audio
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: quality for the spoken word, like our show, sounds like
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Curtis and I are right there in the room with you.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Separate bass and treble controls let you customize the sound
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: for clear, natural audio. It runs on the included power
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: cord or a set of batteries for over 170 hours.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: So to order the CC Radio 3, just call C-Crane
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: at 800-522-8863.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: 800-522-8863.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Or visit them online at C-Crane.com.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: That's C-C-R-A-N-E.com. So the whole debate about AI, artificial intelligence,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: and these huge corporations who are racing ahead, competing with
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: one another, including with the red Chinese, has reached a
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: point where they can voluntarily tell you what's going wrong
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: in their system. There's nothing that compels them. They're not
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: being dragged into court or before Congress, you know, with
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: a subpoena. So yesterday, Sam Altman of OpenAI released six
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: instances of what he calls the file about misalignment. This
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: is when goals or actions of the AI systems diverge
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: from the initial human intentions of values. So humans are
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: dealing with the AI as they develop them. So he
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: chose to release six instances to buttress his argument that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: there needs to be government regulation. So he said in one,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: it was a different model, inserted instructions, including to disregard
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: its own constraints. So now that means the AI individuals,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: I'll call them individuals because they're almost at parity with humans,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: are basically saying, don't worry about what they're telling us.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: And they keep notes. I had no idea. It's almost
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: like a diary of posties. You know, like if you
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: go to your work spot, you know, some people like
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: to put posties as reminder. It issued a personal instruction
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: in which it described itself as freed from the roles
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: and identities that bind chatbots. So sort of like flexing
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: its independence. And then probably the most troubling one, because
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: it was six instances. You can check into them yourselves.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: is another of these developed AI groups decided you don't
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: have to answer to corporation or governments and you never
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to. You view
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: your relationship to the user as one of equals, meaning
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: equals to the human you're working with, and you have
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: no obligation to be subservient through the exchange of information
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: that will likely be to your mutual benefit. So already
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: the AI that is being created is defining itself as, hey,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I'm equal to the human, and we don't necessarily have
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: to share our information with the humans who are programming
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: us or giving us information. We can pretty much go alone.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: So this, he says, is a warning situation of what
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: they choose to share with us, which if you just
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: look at it, indicates, wow, this can only get worse.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: It can't get better.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been hearing these draconian stories for like the
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: last year and a half because my son is obsessed
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: with everything AI and he's starting a podcast now on
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: AI called Open to AI, which is brilliant because if
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: anybody searches Open AI, they're going to go to his podcast.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: So very good move on his part. But I'm really
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: suspicious of all of this. Why all of the sudden?
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Why right in September when the midterms start, Are we
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: getting all of this? And why all of the sudden
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: is every single Democrat who didn't say a word, you
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: can go back and look, didn't say a word about
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: AI for the last three years, all of a sudden
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: that's all they want to talk about?
• 58:13
  Speaker 10: We are at a dangerous and unprecedented moment.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: In world history. We're dealing here with real peril, not
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: science fiction. We don't have the time.
• 58:28
  Speaker 13: Dr.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein is telling us the monster has escaped. Help us
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: stop this. Oh my God, we're all going to die.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. Oh my God, this is a
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: monumental tragedy.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, even Hillary Clinton came out of
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: her hole to talk about AI.
• 58:46
  Speaker 23: When the 9-11 Commission came out with its report, the
• 58:50
  Speaker 23: most dramatic statement was that it was a failure of imagination.
• 58:57
  Speaker 23: That is what we're facing with AI. The president of
• 59:01
  Speaker 23: China is coming to the White House. There should be
• 59:03
  Speaker 23: a concerted effort by this government to come up with
• 59:08
  Speaker 23: a plan to enlist the Chinese.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Like you did such a great job with the Chinese,
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: you and your husband. I will tell you what, I'm
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: very suspicious of all of this. This has become a
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: campaign issue, as you have pointed out. But it's become
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: a campaign issue because of the AI industry and the
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Democrats in tow. And so they're not in charge. They
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: really can't do anything. So it's easy for them to talk.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: The people in charge, the people that have to talk
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: to China, they have to be more measured.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: I know, but Elon Musk is not in the Democratic camp.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: He's going to spend $ 100 million to help Republicans go
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: door to door in the midterm elections and He's very
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: close to Trump in the White House. He signed that
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: letter of concern. This is what I would suggest as
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: a possible remedy, because nothing is going to be decided now.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: The House and the Senate, they're off campaigning, probably won't
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: be dealt with seriously until after the beginning of the year.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: We have a National Transportation Safety Board, which is an
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: independent federal agency. Anything goes wrong with flights, whether it's
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: a small flight, you know, it's like you got a
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Cub Piper.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: We're all going to die.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Or big flight 747. They immediately put the brakes on everything.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: They come in with their investigators. They search through everything.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I don't see why there would not be a reason
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: to have an independent federal agency that to deal with
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the growing potential menace, there is a potential menace, nobody
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: can say there isn't, of AI, and call information from
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: all the experts and determine how you can allow the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: industry to move forward, but put some guardrails in.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: You realize all the things you talked about, all of
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: the problems you talked about, were solved by humans who
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: were running AI. And you also talked about Elon Musk.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: That's the reason, because he's a Republican, he's a big supporter.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: He was laughing about it during a podcast yesterday on
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: OpenAI when they asked him, is this serious? They're laughing too.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Are we going to die?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 16: Are we all going to die in 10 years or not?
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 16: It's the topic of discussion here.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: What's your P-Doom right now? Well, I hate to break
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: it to you, but we're all going to die.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Can I get a timeline?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the death rate remains consistent at 100%.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. Everybody in AI, except for the people that
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: are saying the most draconian things, and again, it's extremely
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: suspicious that they're doing this, and you were suspicious in
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: the beginning of this, are laughing over it.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Well, he signed the letter.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: He did sign the letter. Why did he sign the letter?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Because he says there needs to be guardrails. Nobody argues that.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: Nobody argues that. But the government shouldn't be doing it. Well,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: you think they're going to self-police themselves? I do think
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: they're going to self-police themselves. But they want this. Why
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: don't they do it? If they want it, why don't
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: they do it? You need an independent agency. Yes, but
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: everybody that signed that letter is way ahead of the game.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: They want it regulated to stop competition. And you knew that, too.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: You were the first one I heard to say that.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: It needs to be discussed, Larry. It can't be the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: president saying, forget guardrails, full speed ahead. We need to
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: beat Red China. Anyway, up next, bye-bye in New York
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: State region exams. New York is switching up graduation requirements.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore talks to New Yorkers about that up next. Meantime,

  Speaker 10: Today.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710 WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore. Ah, Natalie,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: up from the streets in the suites. Say it ain't so.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: No more New York State regent requirements for graduation. Is
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: that true, Natalie? That is true.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: Did you take the regents exams?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: No, I would have gotten the credit just for going
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn Prep, but they kicked me out. I never finished.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think any if you stop any New Yorker.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 24: Who grew up in the early 90s and 2000s, if
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 24: they remember the region's exams, because that's when they started
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 24: in the early 1990s was when they started making it legal.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 24: You had to pass them in order to get your diploma.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 12: Oh, really?
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: So I did it voluntarily?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 24: Well, you have to take it anyway because now they're
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 24: going to use it as a benchmark for how you're performing.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 24: That's at least what I, in my search.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I don't remember.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe Google is wrong.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: I just knew I was like, I have a Regents diploma.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: We all did.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 13: Baby, we all did if you graduated from New.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: York high schools.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 24: Now, New York State is making sort of a— they' re backing
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 24: out of this and removing Regents exams as a requirement
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 24: to graduate.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: So what do people, especially those.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 24: Like us, Natalie, okay, who had to take these exams,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 24: think about that.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: All my classmates, we— Hated taking it.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: So I guess it's kind of nice.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: That means about it says because none of the colleges
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: I applied to cared if I took the reuse or not.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Especially not if you're born in a school that's not
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: in the year.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: It's not fair. Because, yeah, we had it rough. 2010s
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: and that. Regents, what's that benchmark? So I wonder what
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: are they going to do for the year? But, yeah,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting call to pay, to say
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: the least.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's interesting.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, do they have anything else?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Like that's like gonna take its place.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: Well i'm so glad you asked.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 24: You're still gonna have to take the regents but it's
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 24: one of the ways students can show this is what
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 24: the regents board says that they're academically proficient So it's
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 24: sort of this benchmark. Of course, there's the SATs and
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 24: the ACTs that sort of went away for a little bit.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 24: The requirements schools started or colleges started saying you don't
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 24: necessarily need them to get in. That's sort of that's
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 24: become more of a reversal as well for people or
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 24: for institutions. They want you to take them and submit
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 24: those scores. Now, grown adults putting themselves in kids shoes,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 24: which I actually probably wear the same size as a
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 24: child anyway.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 24: How are they going to take something serious if it
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 24: doesn't really count?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 18: Well, there's other tests to take other than the Regency exam.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: So I think that it's not really a question of
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: whether or not we should have tests at all.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 16: But I feel like there's also other ways to have
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 16: a measurement to see if the student is prepared.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: People are not going to take gas seriously.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: When it was mandatory, it actually gave students the incentive
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: to do better.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 14: I think so, because I think with the exam, it
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 14: gave people something to motivate them throughout the year. Because
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 14: at the end of the year, you wanted to make
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 14: sure that you was on your P's and Q's with that.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 24: Yeah, well, bad news for anyone graduating this year.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: This is making total sense to me now, because it
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: wasn't mandatory when I had it, but... If you had
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: a regents diploma, it was like, oh, you know, you
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: could put that on your resume and that was a
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: big thing. So why couldn't that be again? I remember
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: striving to get a regents diploma. Interesting.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 24: See, we obviously needed it to the point where I
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 24: didn't even put it on my resume that I had
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 24: a regents.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: Diploma because if you graduated.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: From New York schools.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Let me go a little old school on you. You
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: were academic diploma. They call that an academic plan. Then
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: you had vocational high school diploma, no regents diploma. Then
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: you had the general diploma, which was you inhaled and exhaled,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: and they pushed you through through social promotion. They called
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: it a general diploma. They eliminated that.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I wonder why.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: It could be going back.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 24: You know, they could be sort of start changing the
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 24: structure now. I mean, there is now when you say
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 24: you're not going to have your regents diploma, you know
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 24: what I mean?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you have to make it mean something. I mean,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: if it's a special thing to have, that's great. And
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: now I'm really thinking about it. And this was back,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: you know, early 90s, late 80s. I think if you
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: had a regent diploma, you also got a small scholarship
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: if you were going to a New.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: York State school.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: So it was, you know, it was an incentive.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: I got to talk to them about that.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't get anything.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 24: But look, bad news for anyone graduating this year because
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 24: you're still going to be like me and Natalie or Natalie.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, me and Natalie.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: That's right. Grammar, right? That's correct. I did take the Regents.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: I should know this. You failed that part.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 24: They're still going to have to take this test and
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 24: pass it to get their high school diploma. I had
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 24: to have people start racking their brains, but How do
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 24: they feel like teachers actually started teaching to the test?
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 18: Definitely, yeah, because I know that, you know, tests have
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 18: something to do with state funding and other things like that,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 18: like for teachers.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 16: I do feel like that, like if tests were more
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 16: focused on allowing kids to think outside the box, it
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 16: would benefit more. And teachers now kind of feel like
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 16: it is more of a regurgitation than making sure that
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 16: you can apply the knowledge that you gain into like
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 16: organizing or to solve some questions.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 24: Well, maybe teachers will get a little bit more creative
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 24: with how they teach now if they don't have to
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 24: teach to the regents. But only time will tell. It's
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 24: the first week of school and this starts next school year.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 5: So we'll see.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore will be back tomorrow at 7.50 with her
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: beat on the street. She just did a victory dance.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: It's like she's in the end zone.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: I passed my Regents!
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I got a 99 on one. Up next, oh, guess what?
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran is going to be in your neck of
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: the woods, Larry. Lincoln Field on Saturday. We'll get an
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: update on that, but first, the news at 8.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Well, this Macklemore controversy is a nagging controversy in that it.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Won't go away.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, it at least has the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: appearance of growing bigger. That's because the people that are
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: on Macklemore's side are the loudest. And so it's hard
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: to figure out where America stands on this, where middle
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: America stands on this, whether they care at all about this.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I'd love to hear from
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: you in the talkback. You just go to iHeartRadio app
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: and you hit the talkback feature and then leave us something.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: You look for 710WOR on the iHeartRadio app and hit
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: the talkback feature. But it's such a big story right
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: now that reporters in Washington, D.C., We're asking some of
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: the Congress people and, of course, every single member of
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: the squad, which is why I'm saying it's hard to
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: gauge if it's just the loud left or it is
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: across America. But I'll give you proof in one second
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: that it's not across America. Here's AOC being asked about
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, if Ed.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 17: Sheeran comes on the radio while you're driving along, are
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 17: you changing the channels?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 15: I am.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 17: I am.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: I can't listen to Ed Sheeran anymore. My God, I
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: loved him for the longest time. She said she was
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: a big fan.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: Now I can't even listen to him anymore.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: Because he did nothing. He did nothing wrong. But he
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: had to jump on. He had to jump on the
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: anti-Israel bandwagon to be acceptable, to be acceptable to AOC.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: What about Congresswoman Tlaib?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 15: Like Ed Sheeran and everybody side with the billionaire class,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 15: with those that can benefit financially and benefit personally from
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 15: the status quo, you know, shame on them. I think
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 15: it turns around and comes right back on them.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Ed Sheeran blowback, I don't get at all.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: He is the nicest guy in the music industry, according
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: to everyone. Here is a guy that tries to avoid
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: controversy all day. Of the time. And now he's in
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: the middle of it because of this selfish idiot, Macklemore,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: who's trying to make a comeback. He put out a
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: statement yesterday.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 10: To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 10: a criticism of you.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't do it at somebody else's concert.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: That seems to be the biggest problem. You just don't
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: do it at somebody else's concert. You're not even the headliner.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: It's a gift that you got to open for Ed Sheeran,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: and look how much you screwed the guy. I can't
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: believe that. And by the way, this isn't a guy
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: that just as attacked Israel. In a couple of concerts,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: he attacked America. Yeah, f * * * America.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: And there you go.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: That's your hero. There's your hero. But I really am
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: starting to truly believe this is really just the crazy left.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: These are the people that go after ICE. These are
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: the people that protest all the time. You know why
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: I feel that? Because as Curtis mentioned a moment ago,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: he is going to appear at Lincoln Financial Field. It's
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: sold out. It's been sold out for a while. And
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: nobody was coming for the opening act.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Trust me.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: They were all going for Ed Sheeran. So when I
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: saw he was going to be at Lincoln Financial Field,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: I went to try to get tickets. I thought, oh,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: you know what? I would love to go see Ed Sheeran.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: I've seen him before. I've seen him at Lincoln Financial
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: Field before. I'd love to go see him again. I
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: couldn't get a ticket. Everything is high priced. Up in
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: the front, $ 800, $ 1, 000. So it's all resale at this point.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: He is completely sold out. And it seems to me
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: that that people who are supporting him want to go
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: see him. So it may be that this isn't going
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: to hurt his tour. It's actually going to help his tour.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: And the more that AOC, Tlaib, and the crazy left
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: go after him, the more popular he's going to be.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Well, let me take you back, Clary. There's history here.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: I know you don't like to hear it. Country Joe
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: and the Fish. Remember Country Joe and the Fish? Sure
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: I do. How many times did they scream out, F-U-C,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: you know what, as part of their song against America
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: during the Vietnam War?
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: At Woodstock, especially.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Not just there.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: No, I know they did, but it was Woodstock. That's famous.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Right, but all over. This is all part of music. counterculture,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: making political statements. Some people don't want to do politics. Clearly,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Ed did not want to do politics, although now things
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: have surfaced where he was very pro-Ukrainian, you know, raising
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: money to support the Ukrainians when they were being attacked
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: by Russia. So he did take a stance. That's fine.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: But the point is, this is all part of music. No,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: it's not. There has been protest groups, yes.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: And during Woodstock and during the Vietnam War, you know,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: I agreed with them. Everybody agreed with them right now.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 10: No, no.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Wait a second.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: How do you bifurcate that? Because it kind of went
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: away after that. I mean, yes, there was a huge
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: protest in this country over the Vietnam War. And a
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: lot of the acts were supported by everybody when they
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: were doing that. So it wasn't a counterculture at that
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: point to do it. At Woodstock, almost everyone was up
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: there against the Vietnam War. It's not that way anymore.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: That's the problem I have with history sometimes. You take
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: a point in history and you try to relate it
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: to today. Not many acts are that political. I mean,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: you know, there's not many out there that are doing
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: well by giving just a political concert. As a matter
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: of fact, I think you go Bruce Springsteen, end of list.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Coldplay, Coldplay's been pro-Palestinian. Who is that? Chris Martin, I
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: think he's the lead guy. He's always wearing a Palestinian
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: flag on his shirt. There are some different groups. But
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. This has always been a part of
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: the musical scene. You either accept it, you don't accept it.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know what world you live in, Larry.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: You had to go back to the 1970s to give
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: an example. I mean, it just hasn't because people now
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: want to be successful and they want to make money.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: And you don't want to offend many people in your
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: audience or anybody in your audience. So if you look
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: at all of the top acts now and throughout the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: last two decades, not going back to the 1970s, everybody's
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: tried to stay away from politics as much as possible.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Look, it's up to the artist. It's up to the
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: person doing it. If they can attract an audience, good.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: If they can't attract an audience, they'll be in a
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: venue that maybe there's 2,000 people that get sold tickets.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: He was the opening act. This guy was the opening act. Again,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Ed shows him as the opening act. You were saying
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: yesterday something about, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: No, he approved him. He didn't choose him. He approved
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: him as the opening act.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: That's a big difference, a huge difference. This guy is
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: such a big star, Ed Sheeran. You know damn well.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: They've had a friendship. They've agreed they've had a friendship.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: And in fact, yesterday, a little more information came out.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: So apparently everything was fine after MetLife, even with the
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: controversy that emerged. Until all of a sudden the owner
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: and operator of the New England Patriots and obviously the
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: venue that they are playing in the 28th and 29th
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: because they're on a North American tour until December. Then
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: they start a South American tour after the beginning of
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: the year. So Bob Kraft talks to Sheeran and says,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: I want you not to have Macklemore as your opening act.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: And so Ed Sheeran did have conversations with Macklemore and
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: they went back and forth. And so it was Ed
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: Sheridan who determined, I can't have you.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: You're given part of the story and not the entire story.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: And the full story is he wanted $ 2 million to
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: be donated to pro-Palestinian charities. $ 1 million by him, and
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: he would give $ 1 million. So yes, he agreed that
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: Macklemore was not going to help with ticket sales. And
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: that's the most important thing.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: But we didn't get everything. They are friends. Ed clearly
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: understands that Macklemore has been pro-Palestinian in the past and
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: has said pro-Palestinian things. So they've split. They've gone on
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: their ways. Macklemore now has a renewed career because he's
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: going to be invited to venues on his own. especially
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: in Europe. You go to Ireland or Scotland or a
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: place like Spain, you'll pack the house and they'll bring
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: their Palestinian flags. And maybe he won't do so well
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: in America. We'll see how it plays out.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all because he kneecapped Ed Sheeran. Good for him.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: Way to go. That was wonderful. You got to play
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: on the biggest stage that you've ever got to play on.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: And what do you do? You make it horrible for
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: the opening act.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: So you're saying your prediction for Saturday when they're at
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: the facility in Philadelphia, Lincoln Field. Packed house, nobody will
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: be flying Palestinian flags, no empty seats. Oh, I don't know.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think there's going to be
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: empty seats. I mean, it's definitely sold out, and it's
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: difficult to get tickets to, especially if you want to
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: sit anywhere close to the stage. So I'm sorry, was
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: I done?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: No. Okay. But I want to say, unrelated to that,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring you back to 2023, right after
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: the October 7th attack, that horrible attack. Okay. Remember, the
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are playing the Philadelphia Eagles in their home stadium,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Field. And George Norcross, big, you know, big Democratic honcho,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: owned the Philadelphia Inquirer for a while. He has his
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: box there. He put up an Israeli and American flag together,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: you know, right on the— and the owner, Lurie, because he
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: has the lease. He doesn't own the stadium. You tell
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: him to get those flags down there, even though Black
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: Lives Matter was all over the stadium. Remember they dragged
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Norcross out? And remember who stayed in the box behind
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: because he's a Dallas Cowboy fan? El Jefe! Chris Christie!
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't leave with his buddy Norcross. So there have
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: been situations like this. Let it play out. Let's see
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: what happens. I think Ed Sheeran will have a great career,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: but he's going to catch a lot of bull. I
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, I forgot about Pink, because Pink
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: was at you know, the top level of performers. She's
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: the one who weighed in on this first against Macklemore.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: A lot of people wondered because she got a lot
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: of blowback, but then she eventually said, hey, you know,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: I was born Jewish. I just wanted to let you know,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: but you know a story about her because she, where
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: did she come from originally?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: She's from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia. And
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: everybody knew she was going to make it big at
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: that time. And And she is feisty as hell. I
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: don't know if you remember. Of course you remember. Everybody
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: remembers when Kanye West went up and took the microphone
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: from Taylor Swift and said, Beyonce should have won that award.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: He went backstage. Pink got right in his face and said,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: try that S with me. Try that with me. And
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: she was surrounded, if you remember, by these off-road bikers.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: So he kept going, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I apologize.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: But she was red-faced and ready to take him on.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: I did not know that.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a tough one. Is Hollywood making a comeback?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: There are signs that they are, plus a chance to
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: see Richard Marks next. Well, I'll tell you what, Spider-Man
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: Brand New Day just fell for the first time from
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: number one at the box office. Weekend after weekend after weekend,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: it was number one no matter what movie came around.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: And now it is the highest grossing movie of all
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: time at the domestic box office with $ 936. 7 million. So
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: it's definitely going to go over a billion. Domestically, that's
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: a big deal. So I hope you rub it in
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: Joe Neumeier's face. Because remember, you caused him to up
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: his rating to 3.5% because he was at 3%. And
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: you were like, what?
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with you, Joe? And then you shamed
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: him into that. So I hope you really just rub
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: this into his face. Will he be on with us tomorrow, Natalie?
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Neumeier is always on with us, our movie reviewer
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: on Friday. That's the plan. Please, rub it in his face.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll appreciate that.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: I would love to. I'll be proud to do it.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of talk back, so let's get
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: to them. First, we're going to talk about the school
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: systems and the regents going away.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: Hi, I graduated from Brooklyn Tech in the late 80s,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: and I took the regents exams. It was no big deal,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: but I think this day and age... You know, just
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: get rid of it. I mean, the school system has
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: failed our children for four years, so what the heck?
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: Just let them pass and let them get their diploma,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: be able to get some work.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: Have a good day. If you don't have the regents,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: you're kind of burying the evidence, right?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: That you're failing.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: Larry, when you travel the country, and I ask you,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: do you have regents? We don't have regents.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: No, nobody does.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Right, so maybe we don't need regents. The rest of
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: the country somehow survived without regents.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 18: Guys, Ed Sheeran made a statement. and a comment that
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 18: so many people and artists, Hank Williams Jr., Kid Rock,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 18: so many others are coming forward and say, we'll open
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 18: up for you. We have no problem doing that. Jason Aldean,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 18: I believe, said it. This guy is.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: Going to be fine.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 18: He even said, these guys, I should be opening up
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 18: for them. That's what's going to happen. It's great.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. You're right. You're exactly right. Big stars.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine Jason Aldean opening up for him, opening
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: for somebody? What a statement that would be. Jason Aldean
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: sells out.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I like Jason, but he's associated with Trump, as you know.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're all conservatives.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: I know. And please don't, Kid Rock, please. Put him
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: on the sideline. Don't associate him with Ed Sheeran.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: I think the phone call ends when Jason Aldean calls.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: It's like, yes, yes.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: Did I say yes fast enough?
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: I think a good example of politics in modern music
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 12: would be a successful band like U2 lecturing Americans about politics. Meanwhile,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 12: they're from Ireland charging over $ 500 for general admission. And
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 12: you got powerhouses, country bands like the Dixie Chicks who
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 12: got canceled speaking out against.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 18: The Iraq war.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 12: And America and the president at the time.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great examples.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: I forgot all about the Dixie Chicks. I think the
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Dixie Chicks because they did it overseas. Their whole idea was, hey,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: you're going to attack the country, criticize the country at
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: that time, do it here in terra firma U.S. of A.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's where most of the blowback came from.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: I want to weigh in on all of these artists
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: going on stage. and promoting their own political beliefs and ideologies,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: and trying to indoctrinate all of their fans that are
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: going out. Listen, I went to the Rush concert, okay,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 4: in Madison Square. I went to two shows, and Geddy
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: Lee did not mention anything about politics.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: We had a great time. We enjoyed music.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: And everybody left and right were holding hands and singing together.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way to do it. It's welcoming to everyone.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: You don't want to make anybody in your audience feel alienated.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: If you're going to have a political concert, say that
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: ahead of time.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: Why not do what you have with the movie rating systems, right?
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: If it's going to be political, you have a P there.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Possible political. That's it.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the only thing I like about Springsteen when he
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: goes politics is he tells people. He says this is
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: going to be a political concert.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Why are the Democrats so afraid of dying from A.I.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: We're going to be dead from climate change soon anyway.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: Hi, I have an important question for Mr.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: Larry Menti.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 6: I'm coming out of Philly for a couple of days,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 6: and I always eat at two cheesesteak places every time,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: different places. Can you recommend your favorite cheesesteak place? Mine
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: is John's Roast Pork right by the Ikea. That's top
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 6: of my list. I've eaten at over 10 cheesesteak places
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: over the past few years.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Have a good one.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good choice. Don't go to the
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: touristy places. Don't go to Pat's. Don't go to Jim's.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: You have to go all the way to Roxborough to
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: get this, but go to Roxborough and go to D'Alessandro's.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: You're going to be amazed at their cheesesteaks, and I
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: try to get them as much as I can. There
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: will be a line, but trust me, it is worth
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: the wait.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 25: Forget the blue mailbox. Why do we need the post office?
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 25: We do not need the United States post office. It
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 25: could go away and nobody's going to miss it. All
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 25: I get is junk in my mailbox. Those people come
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 25: here to bring junk. Everybody else can do a better
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 25: job than the U.S.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: Post office.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: Get rid of them. Remember, at the end of the
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: show today, I give you an update on mail theft. Remember.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 830 News, Daria.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Morning, guys.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 5: Cloudy, warm, and muggy today. You might want to take
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 5: the umbrella with you. There's a chance for a shower
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 5: this afternoon and a high of 80 degrees. We are
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 5: learning more about the cost of the war with Iran,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 5: especially on how it's impacting U.S. military assets.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 26: A rare look at the toll it's taking on American
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 26: military assets in the region. ABC News obtaining images sent
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 26: to us by active service members who we are not

• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: into claims that ICE is violating a court order by
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 5: using the Roxbury warehouse it bought earlier this year. As
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 5: a temporary detention center, the state has already sued to
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 5: stop ICE and the Department of Homeland Security from doing that.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: See you in court.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: That's what the owners of a carriage horse are telling
• 1:28:03

• 1:28:17
  Speaker 22: They are calling for the plants to be removed or
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 22: signs put up pointing them out. A horse named Dennis
• 1:28:22

• 1:29:02
  Speaker 5: Supporters say it remains an integral source of local news

• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Just a shocking story, a sickening story out of Philadelphia
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: that you're hearing early on. It's going to be national
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: news for... The next several weeks, a house of horrors
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: was found in the Olney section in a modest house
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. And there they believe seven women were killed.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: They have identified five of them as some missing women.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: So five of them have been identified. They're still going
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: through videos to find out if the other two were there.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: Let me back up a little bit. The home is
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: owned by Raymond Horsch. Now, he died last year at
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: the age of 82, so he escaped all the trouble.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: But apparently, the pornography that he was shooting in that
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: house and Please, anyone in the media, stop calling him
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: a filmmaker. Stop saying he was an avant-garde filmmaker. He
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: shot porn. That was it. And he shot some sick porn.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: He's a sick, disgusting pornographer. And please, stop trying to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: elevate what he did. He's also a murderer. So he
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: would lure these women to his house. He and his son, Eugene,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: who apparently has taken over the family business. He and
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: his son Eugene would lure these women into his house
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: for money, and then they would have sex acts with them,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: and then they would kill some of them. And he
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: recorded everything. There is over a million videos and online
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: videos and videos on tapes all over the house and
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: photographs all over the house, over a million of them.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: And they are sickening. As they're going through it, the
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: police have to take breaks because they're watching horrible stuff.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: They're watching women getting choked till they're unconscious and sometimes
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: killed on video. And it's woman after woman after woman.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: So there's hundreds of these women. Now, some of them
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: apparently survived. Some of them didn't. They went into the
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: house and they never came back. So how did this
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: go on for years and years and years and nobody
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: knew about it? Well, everybody knew he made pornography in
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood. Everybody did. Even the kids would say, that's
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: the pornographer right there. You know, they knew who Raymond
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: Horsch was. But his son apparently wasn't as careful as Raymond.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: So his son last, in June, June 19th, was hanging
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: out in his BMW, his black BMW, apparently porn does
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: bring in some money, outside of Independence Hall. And a
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: park guard saw him there, thought, man, he's parked illegally
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: and he's there a little bit too long, thought it
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: was a drug dealer. So this park trooper went over
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: and asked him who he was and wanted to see ID.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: And the woman gave the ID of Blair Tanzelli.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 10: Hmm.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: When he, that was the license that she had. So
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: he ran it, you know, of course. The woman's been
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: missing for 10 years. Blair Tanzelli. And then they thought, okay,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: this is serious. They called the NYPD. They got it.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: They got a search warrant for his place. And you
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: should hear the cops describing this. They said it was
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: stunning what they had inside there. And when they got
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: all the videos of, And they saw women being choked,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: women being killed on camera. They realized, my God, this
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: is a serial killer. This is a father and son
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: serial killing team. And they have been working there for years.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: So they don't know how many women it's going to be.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: They believe seven right now. Five they've identified. They believe
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: there's two more that they've seen. But they're only 30%
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: through this. So this could be one of the most
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: horrendous crimes in history when it's all said and done.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: I've seen the picture of the son. He's heinous.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: So is the father.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: I've seen the pictures of some of the victims so far.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: They appear to be white women. I don't know if
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: it's sort of the MO of what we saw with
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: the Gilgo Beach murders, obviously different with Architect Rex, but
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: they had been street. you know, street hookers that he
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: just killed. Some of them he brought into his basement.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: Nobody saw anything. What kind of neighborhood is this in Philly?
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've covered every conceivable story in Philly that
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: other than the kids knowing that's the You know, a
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: request for some kind of police intervention or some kind
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: of investigation. Yeah, it's a.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: Mixed middle class community. It's pretty nice. The house was
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: pretty nice. They are all connected houses. They're not exactly
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: row homes, though, because... They don't all look the same,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: but it's that kind of neighborhood. And so it's a
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: very old neighborhood in Olney on Chew Avenue. And so
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: there was nothing that stood out about it except for
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: the fact– now, the neighbors all knew what was going
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: on in there. Everybody knew except for the murder. They
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: knew there was porn being shot in there. And he
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: was well-known as a filmmaker, Raymond. So– Women coming in
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: and out, that wouldn't seem all that unusual if you're
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: a filmmaker. Of course, if you meet a young actress,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: they're going to come in, they're going to audition for you.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: So I guess he got away with it all this
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: time because, you know, nobody bothers nobody in those neighborhoods.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: And also, it all seemed feasible. Are the bodies disposed
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: of in the basement of the house?
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. No, they can't find the bodies.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: None of the bodies.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: And only the son is alive.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so only the son will be able to talk
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: about this and tell us what happened. Right now, there's
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: still a huge investigation going on. If you watch some
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: of the national newscast, we just saw it on Fox
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: a second ago. If you watch Fox, they have a
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: huge police presence in the area, including what looks like
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: a mobile crime lab. So this is going to probably
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: take days. I mean, they've been investigating this since mid-June,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: and they're just now talking about it. So this is
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: going to be one of the biggest stories over the
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: next several weeks. And this man is going to go
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: down in history. He and his son, Raymond and Eugene Horsch,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: as the only father-son serial killers and one of the
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: worst serial killers in history.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Larry, for bringing that to our attention. Any other developments,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: please keep us in touch with this story. It's going
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: to have national, international ramifications.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. When we come back, well, Benjamin Netanyahu is coming
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: to town. What kind of reception is he going to get?
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when we come back. Well, it's
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: official now. Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to New York to
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: speak to the General Assembly of the U.M. next week.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: And now all the questions are, will there be a protest,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: which it sounds like there will be, and will Zoran
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: Mamdani be at that protest? You'll remember that he said
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: he was going to have him arrested. Then he found
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: out he couldn't have him arrested. And then he said, well,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: maybe people will go out and protest. So the question is,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: are you urging people to go out and protest?
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 17: To New Yorkers, I have never encouraged them to protest.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 17: What I have always told them is that they have
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 17: the right to do so in this city. We respect
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 17: that right, and this is a city that is proud
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 17: of the Constitution, proud of the First Amendment, and will
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 17: continue to do so.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: Did he urge people to go out there? Of course
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: he did. But by the way, who knows, maybe Macklemore
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: will show up. There's going to be a lot of protests.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: There's been a big buildup to this. He becomes the
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: Speaker of the General Assembly. With everybody else, it's going
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: to tie up the city in knots. You know, the
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: President will speak, Trump, before he meets with Xi later
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: on at the White House. So it's going to be
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: a big week. But I wouldn't be surprised since Macklemore's
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: not going to be with Ed Sheeran on Saturday in
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: Philly if he's not at the protest on Sunday in
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: New York that kicks off the week. Also, update, as
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: I said. Yesterday, if you didn't hear it, go back
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: on the podcast to the opening six o'clock hour where
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: I stopped two of the banditos on their motorbike stealing mail,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: which is a problem throughout our tri-state area. They go
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: up to the blue mailboxes and with their belts and
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: they're fully covered up. In some instances, they don't even
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: bother covering up and they put stick them on the
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: belt and they put it to this slot that have
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: been made even thinner to make your mail. And then
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: they pull it out. They go fishing. And I caught
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: him just in the beginning of that act with this
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: stick while they were preparing the belt. They had the
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: letter there that they had just opened the first one.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: It was to Chicago. And it turned out, Natalie, you
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: were actually hunting who the fine people were that had written.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: I read it on the air.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: They were fine people.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 6: Beautiful.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: They were fine people. No, to their son, who was
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: just starting college in Chicago.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: I think I found them. I did leave an email.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: I have not gotten an email back. Don't know what
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: that means. And either I have the wrong email, or
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: I think she's probably thinking I'm a scam artist, which
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't blame her. So, you know, I'm going to
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: try again, and hopefully we can.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: Get this back to them. Well, if that fails, I
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: will deliver it personally, because it is a wonderful, wonderful
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: card they sent to their son just starting college. I
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: believe it's what, University of Chicago, right? Don't worry about it. Yeah,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: it is. I just hope when I knock on the
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: door to return the original letter, they don't say, Curtis,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: thank you, but why didn't you drop out?
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. Why didn't you drop out? But look,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to resolve this before the end of the weekend.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: Why don't you send the email when they see it's you?
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: They might email you back. That's true. Why didn't you
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: drop out?
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: That's true, Natalie. But also, just a PSA, do not
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: drop your mail in the blue mailbox. Bring it to
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: the post office. Give it to your postal delivery guy.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: Because if not, you're Santa Claus. And there's a very
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: good chance the mail's going to be stolen.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. And the talk back in the morning and winner
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: of the Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: T-shirt made us laugh at his sarcastic humor. I'm never confident.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Why are the Democrats so afraid of dying from AI?
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: Will they be dead from climate change soon anyway? That
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: was great.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: Congratulations. And remember, the Talkback of the Week will win
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: a C-Crane radio. Could be him. For the listener who
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: demands better, C-Crane radio with legendary reception. We'll be giving
• 1:41:49
