Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: To larry this thing of ours.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Radio today is National Radio Day, and unfortunately there are
- 0:07Speaker 2: a lot of people out there who won't be talking
- 0:11Speaker 2: about it, even though that's how they've earned their living,
- 0:14Speaker 2: that's how they grew up listening to radio. Maybe a
- 0:17Speaker 2: peripheral mention of it, but not here at iHeart, the
- 0:21Speaker 2: largest radio combine in the nation with more stations, FMAM,
- 0:25Speaker 2: all types of formats where they promote the fact that
- 0:29Speaker 2: it's ar actual intelligence. They're not going artificial intelligence. That's
- 0:34Speaker 2: a major statement for corporation. But it also honors the
- 0:39Speaker 2: tradition and imagine we're coming early to do the morning
- 0:43Speaker 2: show with a lot of other great shows here on
- 0:46Speaker 2: the floor of iHeart and the Centurion. First person in
- 0:50Speaker 2: every morning is Jim Kerr, fifty three years in this business.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Longest running morning radio show hosts in New York City history.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Started in Yipsilanti, Michigan at fourteen, went to Chicago, hosted
- 1:07Speaker 2: WLS in the Morning and then WPLJ Morning Holsted twenty
- 1:12Speaker 2: one and has been doing it straight through. He's so
- 1:16Speaker 2: he's standing at the door like he always is when
- 1:18Speaker 2: I come in, and he's wearing this big shirt that
- 1:21Speaker 2: says raised on radio with a big picture of a
- 1:24Speaker 2: radio on it.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Just so proud to be part of this thing of ours.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Mark Simone, who follows us over forty years, just received
- 1:32Speaker 2: the highest honor in the business number one radio talk
- 1:36Speaker 2: show hosts for all of his years of service, So
- 1:38Speaker 2: we really pay tribute to that. And now the best
- 1:41Speaker 2: program director ever on the FM side and now on
- 1:45Speaker 2: the AM side. Ever since Wor became part of the iheartfamily,
- 1:50Speaker 2: Tom Cuddy has cut us to promo that we have
- 1:54Speaker 2: earned over the last five months. When he did a
- 1:57Speaker 2: shit ah and he brought us together. Larry Mente and
- 2:02Speaker 2: Curtis Lee were in the morning. Thanks to you, our listeners.
- 2:06Speaker 3: In just five short months, you've made Curtis Lewis and
- 2:09Speaker 3: Larry Minty New York's number one morning talk radio show
- 2:14Speaker 3: number six till nine weekdays on sevent ten.
- 2:17Speaker 2: War Oh boy, that's something to be very proud of.
- 2:21Speaker 2: And you, Larry, you come from a radio household your
- 2:25Speaker 2: your wife Dawn is in radio in Philadelphia. You're here
- 2:28Speaker 2: doing radio in New York. I've been doing radio.
- 2:32Speaker 1: For thirty five years.
- 2:35Speaker 2: And all of our listeners, I would bet you there
- 2:37Speaker 2: are a few young Huckleberrys out there like Chris the
- 2:40Speaker 2: Quiet Storm here on loan from Mark Simone, our producer,
- 2:44Speaker 2: while Natalie is at home, who's done eighty years of
- 2:47Speaker 2: service at war since the Gamblings came on board.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I know she'll deny it, but what was it? It
- 2:53Speaker 1: was John B. John A, John R.
- 2:56Speaker 2: And I think she was an intern for them first
- 2:58Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden she became the program director.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Wow.
- 3:02Speaker 2: It is such a special day to be able to
- 3:05Speaker 2: spend all of our time talking to people who grew
- 3:08Speaker 2: up on radio and are proud to continue to listening.
- 3:11Speaker 1: To this thing of ours radio. Yeah.
- 3:13Speaker 4: I love the relationship between people and radio and it's
- 3:18Speaker 4: with them all of their lives. A couple of things
- 3:20Speaker 4: that stand out now and I'm really proud of, especially
- 3:24Speaker 4: because I get to talk about Seacrane radios every single day.
- 3:29Speaker 4: When there is an emergency in the country. When they
- 3:33Speaker 4: had the fires in Los Angeles, when we had Superstorm
- 3:37Speaker 4: Sandy and other forms of communication didn't work, there was radio.
- 3:43Speaker 4: People without a radio were left clueless as to what
- 3:48Speaker 4: was going on, people without a battery powered radio, and
- 3:50Speaker 4: everybody talked about that. Do you know that? And we
- 3:53Speaker 4: should do this, God forbid, there's another disaster like that,
- 3:57Speaker 4: we should do this here. Did you know? The iheartstations
- 4:00Speaker 4: out in Los Angeles sent seacrane radios to everybody that
- 4:03Speaker 4: was affected in the Palisades just so they could stay connected,
- 4:07Speaker 4: because that's.
- 4:08Speaker 1: All you have.
- 4:09Speaker 4: I love to see radios when I go to a
- 4:12Speaker 4: football game or go to a baseball game, because they
- 4:15Speaker 4: want to hear the play by play. They want to
- 4:18Speaker 4: hear what radio brings. And so there is this relationship
- 4:23Speaker 4: with radio in your car, which is where people are
- 4:26Speaker 4: listening right now for the most part, listening as they
- 4:29Speaker 4: drive in to get information, to be part of a conversation,
- 4:34Speaker 4: or to listen to music. Like Jim Kerr, but it
- 4:37Speaker 4: is not only the soundtrack of America, but it is
- 4:42Speaker 4: America's conversation, and you want to be a part of it,
- 4:45Speaker 4: and you want to hear what people are talking about.
- 4:48Speaker 4: That's the service we bring, and Jim Kerr entertains them.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Radio is something that, no matter what, more than any
- 4:59Speaker 4: other medium, is a part of your life.
- 5:01Speaker 2: And it is the most intimate form of communication that
- 5:05Speaker 2: has ever been created. The debates will go down who
- 5:08Speaker 2: created it first, Tesla the Croat Serb. You know who
- 5:12Speaker 2: created AC as Edison was over at Edison, New Jersey
- 5:16Speaker 2: with DC. Well, it's AC that ruled. Some would say
- 5:20Speaker 2: he created it. Others would say no, no, no, no,
- 5:23Speaker 2: it was Marconi who had the first wireless broadcast in
- 5:27Speaker 2: fact of the Titanic's distress signal. Wow. So radio has
- 5:31Speaker 2: always been there, and especially here at WR. Think about it.
- 5:36Speaker 2: The FCC in New York City allowed WOA to have
- 5:39Speaker 2: the only three letter call sign wor everybody else has
- 5:43Speaker 2: four letters. So it's been the tradition. Gene Shepherd, who
- 5:48Speaker 2: used to do great storytelling. A lot of people listen
- 5:51Speaker 2: to me say hey, you have a little bit of
- 5:52Speaker 2: Gene Shepherd in you. You can take one idea and
- 5:55Speaker 2: then build a narrative around that. I consider that one
- 5:58Speaker 2: of the highest compliments I've ever been paid in thirty
- 6:01Speaker 2: five years of talk radio. And you look at the
- 6:04Speaker 2: lineup here and all the people who are in the
- 6:06Speaker 2: National Radio Hall of Fame and in the New York
- 6:09Speaker 2: State Radio Hall of Fame. I mean I was. I
- 6:13Speaker 2: accepted the award in the New York State Radio Hall
- 6:15Speaker 2: of Fame in twenty thirteen with flex oh you know,
- 6:19Speaker 2: flex matter and a whole bunch of others. And I
- 6:23Speaker 2: gotta tell you, it is such an honor to be
- 6:27Speaker 2: here at woor fourteen forty Broadway. I can't tell you
- 6:31Speaker 2: how many times I'd be in and out of there.
- 6:33Speaker 2: That was their home for like eighty years. First time
- 6:37Speaker 2: I was ever on the radio and got the radio bug,
- 6:39Speaker 2: I was the national newspaper Boy of the Year, delivering
- 6:43Speaker 2: the daily news. I had rescued some people from a fire.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I'm sitting there with Arlene Francis, Arlene Francis, who was
- 6:49Speaker 2: famous on TV on radio, and I'm like, oh my god,
- 6:53Speaker 2: look at these studios, look at the newsroom, this height,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and that tradition has continued, dude. And remember talk radio,
- 7:01Speaker 2: this thing of ours was developed by Barry Gray right here.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about the tradition continuing, because the tradition
- 7:09Speaker 4: now is continuing on the Internet. No other medium has
- 7:13Speaker 4: been able to integrate its product with the Internet better
- 7:17Speaker 4: than radio. It has been kind of amazing. And we
- 7:20Speaker 4: are sitting at the epicenter of the whole thing. We
- 7:24Speaker 4: are at the center of digital radio because iHeartRadio has
- 7:29Speaker 4: done better at integrating the Internet all types of Internet podcast, Instagram, Facebook,
- 7:36Speaker 4: their own website that you can stream at and you
- 7:39Speaker 4: can treat it like a radio. It has been kind
- 7:41Speaker 4: of amazing and it's always the pinnacle. I talked to
- 7:45Speaker 4: my wife Dawn about it, and she always says, no, no,
- 7:48Speaker 4: you guys. iHeart. It's been amazing. Iheart's been amazing at this.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Everybody tries to do what iHeart is doing now with
- 7:56Speaker 4: the internet because in many ways, iHeart owns the Internet.
- 8:02Speaker 4: There's no better place to go to hear talk, to
- 8:05Speaker 4: hear music, to hear news than iHeartRadio. And now they
- 8:11Speaker 4: have started integrating and you've been brilliant at this. They've
- 8:14Speaker 4: been starting to integrate video as well, so they're no
- 8:18Speaker 4: longer is just one medium. It's not just radio and
- 8:22Speaker 4: TV or the Internet. It's all coming together. And I
- 8:26Speaker 4: truly believe that iHeart has been at the forefront of
- 8:30Speaker 4: that from the very beginning. And so if you are
- 8:33Speaker 4: not on the iHeartRadio app, do it on radio day,
- 8:36Speaker 4: do it on National radio Day. You are going to
- 8:39Speaker 4: get so much content. I don't care what you like
- 8:44Speaker 4: to listen to or what kind of music or what
- 8:46Speaker 4: kind of talk, You're gonna find it on the iHeartRadio app.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And think of it Natalie, our producer who's been a
- 8:52Speaker 2: part of the Wor family for a long long time,
- 8:55Speaker 2: recovering at home from her knee surgery. Is Natalie on Yeah,
- 8:59Speaker 2: she said, Natally, are you there as she's convalescing. I
- 9:03Speaker 2: mean she was with Joan Rivers here at Wor, Joan Hamburg,
- 9:08Speaker 2: Joe Franklin, Sally, Jesse, Raphael, all these great people were
- 9:14Speaker 2: broadcasting from Wor. And you say to yourself, my god,
- 9:19Speaker 2: Larry King, my first overnight show I was hearing Larry
- 9:22Speaker 2: King was here on wr You know it's Bruce from Saskatchewan.
- 9:29Speaker 2: I mean, great shows, great entertainment. You can go back
- 9:32Speaker 2: in the annals. You can listen to some of these
- 9:35Speaker 2: great shows, like The Shadow that was here on Woor,
- 9:39Speaker 2: which is where radio really began to grab hold of
- 9:42Speaker 2: an itentire nation. You realize that in the midst of
- 9:46Speaker 2: the depression and going into World War Two, when FDR
- 9:50Speaker 2: had his fireside chats, four out of every five Americans
- 9:54Speaker 2: had a radio. And if they didn't have a radio,
- 9:56Speaker 2: they went over the family of friends or to the
- 9:59Speaker 2: local groceries, to a candy store to listen. Because that's
- 10:02Speaker 2: how you got all your news and information. That's how
- 10:04Speaker 2: you knew what was going on in World War Two.
- 10:06Speaker 2: That's how you knew what was being done to get
- 10:08Speaker 2: us out of the depression. And radio has not lost
- 10:11Speaker 2: a beat. You know, they said this thing of ours
- 10:13Speaker 2: would be dead many many times. They buried us. They've
- 10:15Speaker 2: done the rip bigger and better than ever before. And
- 10:20Speaker 2: iHeart is the premium place to come and find whatever
- 10:24Speaker 2: it is. Your predilection is towards radio and by Gotti.
- 10:27Speaker 2: The entire combine is celebrating National Radio Day, and I
- 10:30Speaker 2: could tell you there are other radio houses that are
- 10:34Speaker 2: not doing that because they don't even know it's National
- 10:36Speaker 2: Radio Day.
- 10:37Speaker 4: I agree with you, Natalie. We'll get your stories about
- 10:39Speaker 4: radio one other time. We're running out of time now.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I know you've got a long history at this station
- 10:45Speaker 4: and in radio, and I love to hear those stories.
- 10:48Speaker 4: Let's talk about Oh my god, he's now the most
- 10:51Speaker 4: famous river otter in the country. I know that's a
- 10:55Speaker 4: small group, but man, have you heard it's great news
- 11:00Speaker 4: for New York. We'll tell you why when we come back.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Plus a chance to see Journey at a twenty five.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Ah, let me tell you something talking about radio. Talking
- 11:14Speaker 2: about phones, you can listen to your radio on the stream.
- 11:18Speaker 2: So many of you do that now, whether it's an
- 11:20Speaker 2: iPhone or a smartphone or whatever method you use. But
- 11:25Speaker 2: there are all these spam calls and all these spam
- 11:28Speaker 2: texts you get, and you're wondering, hold on, how did
- 11:31Speaker 2: people get all of my personal information? Phone number, home address, email,
- 11:36Speaker 2: family members, political affiliations, even where your bank can do
- 11:40Speaker 2: your financing. Well, there are data banks out there and
- 11:43Speaker 2: they're collecting all of that information and it's all ego,
- 11:46Speaker 2: and they're bundling it and selling it. It doesn't matter
- 11:49Speaker 2: to whoever has the money to buy it. Meantime, how
- 11:52Speaker 2: are you gonna protect yourself and your family members and
- 11:54Speaker 2: friends as you spread the word? Do what I've done.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Put up the firewall. It's called incognit. Let me spell
- 12:00Speaker 2: it for you. If you've got to get a pad
- 12:02Speaker 2: and pen, write it down. I cog ni It automatically
- 12:06Speaker 2: removes your personal information from hundreds of data brokers in
- 12:10Speaker 2: people's search sites, and cognate sends the legal removal requests.
- 12:15Speaker 2: But they're not naive enough to think they're just going
- 12:17Speaker 2: to remove that information. They follow up and they play
- 12:20Speaker 2: whack a mole and they keep them in their place.
- 12:23Speaker 2: They will monitor that to make sure that those lists
- 12:27Speaker 2: don't have your personal information. And if scammers can't find you,
- 12:30Speaker 2: they can't target you. If scammers can't find you, they

- 12:46Speaker 4: Well, this is incredible news for conservationists. It's incredible news
- 12:50Speaker 4: for ecologists. It's also incredible news for animal lovers. And
- 12:55Speaker 4: Otter at River. Otter has been spotted in the Bronx
- 13:00Speaker 4: River for the first time in more than one hundred years.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Why is that so important. It is a sign that
- 13:09Speaker 4: New York's previously polluted waterways are recovering to ecological health.
- 13:18Speaker 4: Now nobody's seen the otter with their own eyes. Cameras
- 13:23Speaker 4: were set up by R. J. Hawkins, who's a scientist
- 13:26Speaker 4: affiliated with the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo. The camera
- 13:33Speaker 4: caught the otter and the otter was just playing and
- 13:36Speaker 4: having a good time and diving in the river. But
- 13:39Speaker 4: this is significant.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Otters are kind of the indicator species of freshwater ecosystem health.
- 13:46Speaker 5: So to have them back in the Bronx River just
- 13:48Speaker 5: shows how much the restoration efforts over the years have
- 13:52Speaker 5: really helped impact the health of the river and shows
- 13:56Speaker 5: just how healthy the river is today.
- 13:58Speaker 4: The first otters to be spotted in the Bronx River
- 14:02Speaker 4: since the early nineteen hundreds.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Well, I know that they had two dolphins up near
- 14:09Speaker 2: Starlight Park. That was a few years ago. So yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 2: it's coming back to where it needs to be. But
- 14:15Speaker 2: for a while there, especially as you would go south
- 14:17Speaker 2: from West Yesha into the Bronx into the South Bronx,
- 14:21Speaker 2: My god, you'd have dead bodies that it would be.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Floating in all kind of toxins. Man, it was bad.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:30Speaker 6: I don't get it though, because first off, I was
- 14:33Speaker 6: shocked when you said nobody saw it, but okay, they
- 14:35Speaker 6: saw it on cameras and now I get that. But
- 14:38Speaker 6: and I get that it's there because things are not
- 14:41Speaker 6: as polluted and it's cleaner. But how did it get there?
- 14:44Speaker 6: Where did it come from? Why did it't know it
- 14:46Speaker 6: could come back? These are the questions I want to know. Yeah,
- 14:50Speaker 6: that is that's really curious, Like where did it travel from.
- 14:53Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fascinating. It probably slammed down from some other places,
- 14:57Speaker 4: you know, and then I think it swims and then
- 14:59Speaker 4: it gets it's to an area where it goes on.
- 15:01Speaker 4: I can't go there, and then it goes back, and
- 15:02Speaker 4: it goes back, and then it goes back in here.
- 15:05Speaker 4: And by the way, the other point that was made
- 15:06Speaker 4: by they can't just be one there's there's gonna be
- 15:10Speaker 4: more than one here. And so that that to me
- 15:13Speaker 4: was fascinating. I think, Natalie, you don't account into the effect.
- 15:17Speaker 4: If this is a male order, it's looking for a
- 15:20Speaker 4: female and it will travel anywhere and everywhere.
- 15:23Speaker 6: True, you're right, you are absolutely correct.
- 15:29Speaker 4: And the females are running away. That's the problem. So
- 15:33Speaker 4: it's just like in a dance club. All right, let's
- 15:37Speaker 4: talk about AI because that's what you want to talk about.
- 15:40Speaker 7: All right, guys, you really got to get off the
- 15:43Speaker 7: data centers. Come on New York Post this morning. There's
- 15:47Speaker 7: an article in there Loudon County, Virginia. Check it out.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Next year, they're gonna.
- 15:52Speaker 7: Revenue exceed one point three billion dollars. Their property taxes
- 15:56Speaker 7: have been cut by thirty percent, and they're building parks
- 16:01Speaker 7: and schools and doing all kinds of things because.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Of these dairy centers. So let's go.
- 16:06Speaker 4: We got to beat the Chinese communist I understand. I
- 16:10Speaker 4: have to say this almost every single time. I'm not
- 16:13Speaker 4: against the building of AI data centers. I'm not again.
- 16:16Speaker 4: I think Curtis is the same way. I'm not against AI.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I know it's part of the next evolution. I know
- 16:22Speaker 4: we have to beat the Chinese. I'm wondering why they
- 16:26Speaker 4: constantly have to be built in the middle of communities,
- 16:30Speaker 4: and it's only for speed. That's exactly the reason they
- 16:33Speaker 4: want to go in and build these fast, because there
- 16:36Speaker 4: is going to be an AI bubble. Everybody is talking
- 16:40Speaker 4: about the AI bubble that's to come. Everybody's got to
- 16:43Speaker 4: get their money now. Everybody's got to get built fast,
- 16:46Speaker 4: and we're going so fast that we don't care about
- 16:50Speaker 4: the community. So what I'm saying is like in Kenilworth,
- 16:54Speaker 4: which is right across the river here, they saw a facility,
- 16:58Speaker 4: an old mirk facility, and they said, oh, we build
- 17:00Speaker 4: an AI center there, but they didn't tell the community.
- 17:04Speaker 4: They just went in and started doing it. They made
- 17:06Speaker 4: a deal with Kenilworth. So you should have some say
- 17:09Speaker 4: in whether you want it, If you want one in
- 17:11Speaker 4: your community, God bless you, God bless you, and then
- 17:15Speaker 4: you should be there saying, yes, we need this, we
- 17:17Speaker 4: need this. Somebody agree, Yeah, some communities don't it.
- 17:22Speaker 6: And it's the secrecy of it. I think so many
- 17:25Speaker 6: towns are keeping it under wraps and then all of
- 17:28Speaker 6: a sudden people find out about it. Just be transparent,
- 17:31Speaker 6: let us know if you're putting it in. Let us
- 17:33Speaker 6: know why you're putting in, what the benefit for the
- 17:35Speaker 6: community is going to be. Instead, it seems really sneaky.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Yeah, And part of the secrecy is because they're trying
- 17:41Speaker 4: to pull.
- 17:41Speaker 2: A fast one and let us know how many bribes
- 17:44Speaker 2: you've accepted in order to allow no transparency, you know,
- 17:47Speaker 2: under the radar screen. All of a sudden, the board
- 17:50Speaker 2: is supervisors has voted to accept it.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Yeah, how much did they grease you?
- 17:54Speaker 4: Pal?
- 17:55Speaker 2: By the way, the spokesperson now couldn't be the worst
- 17:57Speaker 2: spokesperson in the world for the ailing centers.
- 18:01Speaker 4: I know your favorite guys.
- 18:02Speaker 2: He's running the optimism campaign through Meta Zuckerberg, who's on
- 18:07Speaker 2: trial now for allowing perverts to come into Meta and
- 18:12Speaker 2: Facebook to take advantage of kids and that's the guy
- 18:16Speaker 2: you're using as a spokesperson.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's talk about the AI data centers. Yeah,
- 18:21Speaker 4: we're for them. I'm for AI data centers. I just
- 18:24Speaker 4: think the communities have been screwed over and then there's
- 18:27Speaker 4: some I'm really sure about the bribes, but there is
- 18:31Speaker 4: some money being taken away from communities. Just got to
- 18:34Speaker 4: work that out. You just got to work some of
- 18:35Speaker 4: these problems out with the community and talk to the communities.
- 18:38Speaker 4: That's all. I'm not against them. I'm not against them.
- 18:42Speaker 4: I don't I'm not the person that thinks there's bribes.

- 23:05Speaker 1: Well, we have a.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Number of stories of people who shouldn't be in this
- 23:10Speaker 4: country but were let in during the Biden administration and
- 23:14Speaker 4: continue to cause death and mayhem across the country. First
- 23:18Speaker 4: of all, in our area, the man accused of operating
- 23:21Speaker 4: an overcrowded, unlicensed boat tour the capsized near Liberty Bay.
- 23:26Speaker 4: You'll remember that story we made. We talked about it
- 23:29Speaker 4: a lot, and also it was all over the news.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Had killed a mother and her infant daughter earlier this month.
- 23:36Speaker 4: He was living in the US illegally and is now
- 23:39Speaker 4: in ice custody. He was charged. His name is Manuel Hernandez.
- 23:44Speaker 4: He's an El Salvador national. He was taken into immigration custody.
- 23:48Speaker 4: This is after the US Coastguard Investigative Service investigation confirmed
- 23:54Speaker 4: he was unlawfully present in this country. He also faces
- 24:00Speaker 4: thirteen counts of reckless endangerment and was later federally charged
- 24:06Speaker 4: with two counts of misconduct and neglect of a ship officer.
- 24:10Speaker 4: So they're trying to figure this out now. It sounds
- 24:12Speaker 4: like he's going to be prosecuted. First. He may spend
- 24:16Speaker 4: time in jail, but then he is going to be
- 24:20Speaker 4: leaving the country. The one that is making national news
- 24:24Speaker 4: right now is a man in Fairfax, Virginia. And why
- 24:29Speaker 4: does it always seem to be in Virginia? But he
- 24:35Speaker 4: stabbed several times a woman he met in the park.
- 24:39Speaker 4: He is nineteen years old. His last name, well, here's
- 24:43Speaker 4: his full name, Alexis Antonio Sedeos Campos, age nineteen, and
- 24:49Speaker 4: he killed a forty two year old woman, Carmen Lezette Pousche.
- 24:53Speaker 4: He killed her in the park. She has a little
- 24:57Speaker 4: girl at home, so it is a mother he came
- 25:00Speaker 4: across and decided to kill, and it is just a
- 25:04Speaker 4: harrendous crime. He is from Guatemala and he is in
- 25:10Speaker 4: the country illegally. How many times do we have to
- 25:13Speaker 4: go through this do we realize it's a pretty good
- 25:17Speaker 4: idea to try to get some of these people out
- 25:21Speaker 4: of the country. Here is what the prosecutor down in Fairfax,
- 25:25Speaker 4: Virginia had to say about it.
- 25:27Speaker 8: A mother, a loving mother of a three year old
- 25:29Speaker 8: little girl, who took care of a little girl. Certainly,
- 25:33Speaker 8: no one exists, No one deserves to be treated the
- 25:37Speaker 8: way that our victim was treated, and she was stabbed repeatedly,
- 25:42Speaker 8: repeatedly by our nineteen year old killers.
- 25:45Speaker 4: And of course everybody across the country is now looking
- 25:48Speaker 4: at these cases and saying they should never have been here.
- 25:51Speaker 4: And then why are we fighting Ice to take some
- 25:54Speaker 4: of these people out of the country. I mean, the
- 25:57Speaker 4: first guy we talked about that, but the local guy,
- 25:59Speaker 4: he probably wasn't a criminal, but it wasn't a danger
- 26:04Speaker 4: to society. But there's two people to be alive because
- 26:06Speaker 4: he was acting illegally.
- 26:08Speaker 2: You know who should not be left off the hook
- 26:10Speaker 2: because obviously, as ICE now has him in custody, is
- 26:14Speaker 2: the Zeus's Luxury Rental Company Incorporated. Because you remember he
- 26:19Speaker 2: also drove limousine for them and then they would subcontract
- 26:23Speaker 2: out to him these unlicensed boat rides. So they knew
- 26:28Speaker 2: that he was operating under the radar screen with no
- 26:33Speaker 2: Coastguard certification. It is incumbent on the company to check
- 26:37Speaker 2: these records. So I hope the fact that we now
- 26:41Speaker 2: have this guy in custody and obviously he'll probably be
- 26:44Speaker 2: sent back to El Salvador Is and he's got to
- 26:47Speaker 2: go through the criminal process here in New York first
- 26:51Speaker 2: is that they go after this Zeus Luxury Rental Inc.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Because I'll bet you where they smoked his fire. They
- 26:59Speaker 2: probably have a lot of other illegals that they're using
- 27:02Speaker 2: that they're claiming, oh, well, we didn't know.
- 27:04Speaker 1: It's your job to find out. It's your job.
- 27:08Speaker 2: You have them as licensed limousine operators, and then you
- 27:12Speaker 2: have them you're subcontracting them to take out boat tours
- 27:16Speaker 2: with unlicensed boats that have not passed Coast Guard certification.
- 27:22Speaker 4: I would hope they're going I think you're absolutely right.
- 27:24Speaker 4: What you're talking about is a very important thing because
- 27:27Speaker 4: the lore of this country is jobs, and so the
- 27:31Speaker 4: people that hire are just as culpable. You're absolutely right,
- 27:35Speaker 4: and we should be going after them as well. One
- 27:37Speaker 4: last thing I want to talk while we're on this topic.
- 27:40Speaker 4: The mayor of Arcadia in California has been charged in
- 27:44Speaker 4: federal court with acting as an illegal agent of the
- 27:47Speaker 4: People's Republic of China, the Justice Department announced today. Now
- 27:52Speaker 4: she pled guilty in court, not.
- 27:55Speaker 13: A crime as published pro Chinese pieces. What makes it
- 27:58Speaker 13: a crime is that she was working at the direction
- 28:00Speaker 13: of the PRC. So this wasn't her on her own
- 28:02Speaker 13: writing these things. She was directed and instructed. She had
- 28:05Speaker 13: a handler by the PRC that would tell her what
- 28:08Speaker 13: to do.
- 28:08Speaker 4: She pled guilty to a federal felony charge of Espionade's
- 28:12Speaker 4: She had ten years mandatory in prison Federal Prison, California.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Did she have any knowledge of Fang Fang who wanted
- 28:21Speaker 2: to be a double agent both for the CCP and
- 28:24Speaker 2: for the Feds when she was having the urge to
- 28:27Speaker 2: merge was swall well.
- 28:29Speaker 4: But think about it. She was working for the communist
- 28:32Speaker 4: government while being a mayor. How many more are there?
- 28:35Speaker 4: We were talking about this the other day, that all
- 28:39Speaker 4: of the Chinese where are coming to the country to
- 28:41Speaker 4: either have babies here or to arrange marriages here with
- 28:45Speaker 4: somebody from overseas so they can automatically become a citizen.
- 28:49Speaker 4: It is in a giant scam. She's not that we
- 28:51Speaker 4: know of. She's not illegal, She's here.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Legally, yeah, and they oftentimes she'll put the arm on
- 28:57Speaker 2: you and say, we know what your family is from
- 28:59Speaker 2: which problem back in Red China. You do what we
- 29:02Speaker 2: say or they all die. And so now all of
- 29:05Speaker 2: a sudden the pressure is on. Although in this case
- 29:07Speaker 2: I think they sweetened her up with various gratuities and
- 29:11Speaker 2: gifts like brand new cars and diamonds and jewels and
- 29:17Speaker 2: mansions to living.
- 29:20Speaker 4: Yeah, well, listen, I'm sure she's not the only one
- 29:24Speaker 4: across the country. I'm sure she's not bioween. By the way,
- 29:28Speaker 4: Pauline A Luna had something fun to say about this.
- 29:30Speaker 12: The essay is absolutely funded and tied to the Communist
- 29:34Speaker 12: Chinese Party. We know, for instance, in their mega donors
- 29:37Speaker 12: like Never or Seeing Him, who are currently under investigation
- 29:40Speaker 12: by the Department of Justice, that they're not only pushing Marxism,
- 29:43Speaker 12: but they're also joining with other groups like the Party
- 29:46Speaker 12: of Socialism and Liberation, working in conjunction to target these
- 29:50Speaker 12: moderate democrats and flip these seats.
- 29:52Speaker 4: She wants because the woman we were talking about from
- 29:55Speaker 4: Rcatie I should have mentioned his DSA as well. She
- 29:58Speaker 4: wants a congressional investigation into the fact that the DSA
- 30:03Speaker 4: is heavily funded by the People's Republic of China. So
- 30:06Speaker 4: I wanted to play that because that's a story to come.
- 30:09Speaker 4: If that is the case, that would have an enormous
- 30:13Speaker 4: effect on the midterm elections. When we come back the
- 30:19Speaker 4: Carnegie Deli is it coming back? Natalie Mglori is going
- 30:23Speaker 4: to be talking about that. And teachers make a difference
- 30:26Speaker 4: each and every day. Now's your chance to say thank you.
- 30:29Speaker 4: Iheartradios thank a teacher. Powered by donor's choice. You nominate
- 30:33Speaker 4: an outstanding public school teacher who goes above and beyond
- 30:37Speaker 4: for students. They could be one of our five thousand
- 30:40Speaker 4: dollars winners for classroom supplies and resources. Teachers give so much.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Now it's your turn to give back. Nominated teacher now
- 30:49Speaker 4: at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Now it's seventen w rs Beat on the Street with
- 30:58Speaker 3: Natalie Migliori.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Coming off the first personal idea of our own. Natalie
- 31:04Speaker 2: Migliore in the streets the other day, that couple, Oh you,
- 31:07Speaker 2: Natalie Curtis w a WA seven ten in the morning.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Oh boy, you're all pumped up.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Look at that smiling He's still living in the glow
- 31:18Speaker 4: of that moment.
- 31:20Speaker 10: Should she thank you?
- 31:23Speaker 2: You realized those that older couple glazed you. It glazed you.
- 31:27Speaker 1: What does that mean? That felt good? Yeah? Well I
- 31:30Speaker 1: just was.
- 31:31Speaker 10: This job is very humbling, just being on the street
- 31:34Speaker 10: every morning, every day, asking people questions and getting rejected
- 31:38Speaker 10: or whatever, and it was very celebratory for me. Sometimes
- 31:42Speaker 10: you ask yourself, is anybody listening?
- 31:46Speaker 1: And does anybody even know? And you know, we're in radio.
- 31:49Speaker 10: Nobody really, you know, un once you got out of
- 31:51Speaker 10: your way to find out what we look like, nobody know.
- 31:53Speaker 10: They got to know your name and they did, and yeah,
- 31:56Speaker 10: I'm living off of it good. And so it's it's
- 31:59Speaker 10: kind of as we come. I'm in with I'm the
- 32:01Speaker 10: new I guess in radio sometimes, but it seems like
- 32:04Speaker 10: every few years what's old becomes new again and trends
- 32:07Speaker 10: change along with ever evolving culture.
- 32:11Speaker 6: So one thing that's making your return to.
- 32:13Speaker 10: Midtown Manhattan, specifically the Cornegie Deli all right, the sign
- 32:18Speaker 10: is up, a social media post confirming the secrets out
- 32:21Speaker 10: the deli that closed in twenty sixteen after eighty years
- 32:25Speaker 10: in business will make a comeback. So what other things
- 32:30Speaker 10: do people in the area want?
- 32:32Speaker 9: To see make a comeback.
- 32:33Speaker 10: You know, Converse for really comfy shoes, whatever happened to them.
- 32:37Speaker 4: I feel like maybe the thin eyebrows I've been seeing kind.
- 32:41Speaker 14: Of like some people getting back into that, and that's
- 32:43Speaker 14: kind of iconic. I love the chokers. Well, we used
- 32:45Speaker 14: to do the chokers. Oh my gosh, those are so cute.
- 32:48Speaker 14: I remember just being like twelve with a choker on
- 32:50Speaker 14: blew Ma Scarrow were moments.
- 32:52Speaker 1: It was actually the flip phones. I want my girls
- 32:55Speaker 1: all music.
- 32:57Speaker 15: And everything like that.
- 32:58Speaker 4: I prefer some of the old music, you know, that
- 33:01Speaker 4: made more sense.
- 33:02Speaker 15: Basically everything is here right now because there's Polazzo's in
- 33:06Speaker 15: the multicolors is in everything.
- 33:09Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of people okay, yeah, I know you
- 33:11Speaker 10: were saying the blue miscarra.
- 33:12Speaker 6: Thinn eyebrows, uh blue miscarra No, and uh neck chokers No.
- 33:19Speaker 10: I liked a good choker in college now, but the
- 33:23Speaker 10: blue miscara was never really my thing. Now, I thought
- 33:26Speaker 10: we were going to get some nostalgia around I don't know,
- 33:29Speaker 10: like New York City centric things, the Metro card, maybe
- 33:32Speaker 10: how everything in New York City used to be open
- 33:35Speaker 10: twenty four hours a day.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Right now we actually have things that are closed. We
- 33:39Speaker 1: used to be the city that never sleeps.
- 33:41Speaker 10: But there's a lot of sleeping done, especially for us
- 33:43Speaker 10: when we walk around at four or five o'clock in
- 33:45Speaker 10: the morning. But ask a New Yorker what they actually
- 33:48Speaker 10: miss about the city, and it really comes down.
- 33:50Speaker 9: It seems to the people here.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Kindness, everybody who tied to each other.
- 33:55Speaker 15: It wasn't so much a lot left friendlier.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Do you blame it on social media?
- 34:00Speaker 15: Not only social media, but overall the crisis of today's
- 34:05Speaker 15: living arrangements, society, earnings pustop living is too high.
- 34:11Speaker 16: You know, people have changed. Things have changed because people
- 34:14Speaker 16: were things that are more convenient to them. So whether
- 34:16Speaker 16: it's shopping, well, this music, whether it's anything, you know,
- 34:19Speaker 16: the more the more convenient to them. It is definitely.
- 34:21Speaker 10: Act Now Carnegie Deli isn't the only thing coming back.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Neopets. Do you guys know what neopets are? Nope?
- 34:29Speaker 10: Okay, Chris, do you remember neopets?
- 34:33Speaker 1: Okay?
- 34:34Speaker 10: So basically neopets, they were somewhat like weapons. Kids used
- 34:37Speaker 10: to be able to adopt online pets, Okay, and they
- 34:42Speaker 10: we've like all these websites have shut down in a sense,
- 34:45Speaker 10: like people they're not active in a sense, but they'll
- 34:48Speaker 10: actually be able to go physically to a Neopets pop
- 34:52Speaker 10: up in New York City this weekend and yeah and
- 34:56Speaker 10: meet with their Larry and Curtis are not thorld, but my.
- 34:59Speaker 4: God, just ignorant that no idea what you're talking about?
- 35:03Speaker 10: Really like this idea of color coming back and like
- 35:06Speaker 10: you know, trends, like as more things come back, trends
- 35:10Speaker 10: places devices.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I had to ask people, what's what do they think?
- 35:15Speaker 10: The appeal is, Well, it's.
- 35:16Speaker 1: The cycle of life.
- 35:17Speaker 16: You know, everything gets everything gets recycled, and it's about
- 35:20Speaker 16: that time.
- 35:21Speaker 14: The old coming back is news giving us that opportunity
- 35:23Speaker 14: to do more in this time that we have with
- 35:25Speaker 14: the knowledge that we have. So I feel like it's
- 35:27Speaker 14: just like the feeling of nostalgia and just missing what
- 35:29Speaker 14: once was. And because we are changing and social media
- 35:32Speaker 14: has changes, it's like less things for us to hold
- 35:34Speaker 14: on to. So yeah, just looking back and like wanting
- 35:38Speaker 14: stuff to be how it was before.
- 35:40Speaker 10: And b how does it feel to see these things
- 35:42Speaker 10: coming back?
- 35:43Speaker 2: Good?
- 35:43Speaker 15: Because I'm bold at heart, so.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Am I I'm always I yearn for the return of
- 35:48Speaker 2: shaeing the Quiet Storm. Krish Jenji on loan from Mark Simon,
- 35:53Speaker 2: wearing a pair of corduroy pants coming in the Return
- 35:57Speaker 2: of Corduroy.
- 35:58Speaker 10: He wears them occasionally, not coduroy, but I have some
- 36:01Speaker 10: different fabric pants that.
- 36:03Speaker 4: I do they when you walk, do they make a noise?
- 36:06Speaker 1: No? No.
- 36:07Speaker 4: I like to be as you know, quiet, so I don't.
- 36:10Speaker 4: I don't want to be wearing clothes that I'm making noise.
- 36:14Speaker 4: I don't want attention drawn to me. Your pants could
- 36:16Speaker 4: talk for you.
- 36:17Speaker 1: I don't want that.
- 36:18Speaker 10: Do you feel though that there are trends that from
