  Speaker 1: And now, Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in the morning,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: 710 WOR.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So, Larry and Natalie, what was it like, your weekend
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: vacation extravaganza for the Labor Day weekend? First, let's start
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: with the injured one. Hop along, Natalie. Did you make
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it down to the Jersey Shore for the end of
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the season?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, I did. And it was great.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Gorgeous.
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: Except there was one day of flies.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: The dreaded flies.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: The greenheads?
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Was it the greenheads?
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: On Friday.
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: So when you go down to Jersey Shore, anytime the
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: wind comes off the bay, it's coming from the west,
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: you're going to get greenhead flies. And they bite you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: And it hurts. It hurts when they bite you. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: there's some communities down there that have more greenheads than
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: other communities.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well, if given the choice, though, Larry and Natalie, getting
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: bit by the green-headed flies, as you call them, or
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the jellyfish, which would be preferred?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: A preferred bite?
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: It depends on the jellyfish. I know what I'm getting
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: with the greenheads. Some jellyfish just make you itch. Some
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: do nothing. Some hurt like hell and for a long time. So... Yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: it depends on the jellyfish. But greenheads are a problem.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: Anybody that's been to the Jersey Shore can tell you
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: about greenhead flies.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Wow, never heard of that. So I just learned something.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The thing I didn't learn, though, since I was down
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: in Philly was on the way back, just listening to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: news reports, is that the sharks who have been circling
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: off the Jersey Shore apparently are going to have a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: longer stay because of El Nino sharks. The waters are warmer,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: so they're not going to be vacating all that soon.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So even though people probably won't be going swimming that much,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: sharks are going to be enjoying themselves off the Jersey
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Shore from Point Pleasant down in Cape May.
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's always been sharks, but you're right. The water
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: is cleaner. It's a little bit warmer up here, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: so we're getting more sharks. Same thing in Long Island.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Same thing in New Jersey. I will just do a
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: shout-out real quick to my grandson. He had his birthday
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: this weekend, so I went to his birthday party. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: took him out. He said it was the best birthday ever.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Six-year-olds are great. Everything's the best ever. I mean, he's
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: just a wonderful little kid. I had a whole lot
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: of family events, but I did make it down to
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Ocean City just so I could say I went on
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Labor Day weekend.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Good for you.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: We walked the boardwalk and then I got out of here.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: No greenheads, but they don't come out at night.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: And where did you take your grandchild to? Did you
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: take him to Chuck E.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Cheese?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Legoland. Oh, Legoland.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: We started at Legoland and then we were in a
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: mall and they had that. thing or the trampoline that
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: they strap you on to and it's got the elastic
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: bands oh my god so he did that too and
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: then i took him to dave and busters and of
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: course giving him like unlimited on the different things you
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: know you play the games you get tickets and then
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: you win some prize that's not worth anything compared to
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: what you paid for it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Wow, man, you were a great grandpa. Definitely. Wow, man,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: no wonder why he wants to go with.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: You, Grandpa.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: You know what he did say at the end, though?
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Because we ordered a bunch of presents for him, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: they just came after his birthday. And at the end
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: of it, he said, Granddad, that was the best birthday ever.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: And I said, oh, thank you. We'll do it again
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: next year if you want to, Timmy. And his daughter says,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: can I do this for my birthday? And I said, yeah,
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: you can do it for your birthday. You can do
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: it for your birthday. And then he said, but is
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: this all the presents I get?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: He was mooching. He was mooching.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: He knew the regular load didn't show up.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: The nice thing, yeah, it's true. The nice thing about
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: a six-year-old is they're going to be honest with you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Nothing gets held back. And I said, no, no, there's more.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: There's more. They just didn't come yet.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you something.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I was talking to the kids at the University of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania founded by. your favorite revolutionary personality that you've done
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a documentary on, Benjamin Franklin, 1751. And all the kids
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that came to hear me could have been my grandkids.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I could have been their grandpa because I'm 72. Like 22, 21, 20,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you know, in that age range. Just having started their school,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Ivy League school. Oh, great campus. Walking that campus. I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: remember years ago walking that campus. But it has maintained
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the aging status so well. I love that campus, even
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: though it's down right in the heart of the city.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah. It is a gorgeous campus. My favorite concert ever
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: was in the quad there. I got to see Bonnie
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Raitt when she was kind of first starting out, when
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: she just, before her big album, Nick of Time.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Man, it was unbelievable. And it's gorgeous.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Do you know what the quad is? I passed the quad, yeah. Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: it's beautiful.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And then I passed, obviously, where Army-Navy plays and not
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: far away in that old.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Franklin Field.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: That's the old... That's where the Eagles used to play. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: And throw snowballs at Santa Claus, right?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But... It was great, and the kids couldn't be nicer,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: many of them from all over the world, because being
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: an Ivy League school, it attracts a real diverse number
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of students. So we went to all the subjects that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Gen Zers are interested in, did my typical presentation, spent
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of time on AI, and artificial intelligence data
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: centers and flock cameras and all the key issues that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the young people are very hip to now. But afterwards,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: when I had a receiving line, because it was a long,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: long line, I had a chance to converse with a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: lot of the young people naturally on the eve of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the attack of 9-11, 25th anniversary. I was asking them
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: what their knowledge is. of what happened on that date
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: because none of them were born at that point. None
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of them were birthed. One-third of our American population was
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not born at the time of the attack on 9-11.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So now these are considered the brightest of the.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Brightest, right?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Ivy League, you had to do very well in order
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to get into that Ivy League school unless you were
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a legacy entrant, and these didn't strike me as legacy entrants.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: And their knowledge was limited, very limited. And I asked them.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: There were people there from St. Louis, the suburbs, very
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: affluent suburbs, Ladue, Clayton. There were people from California. There
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: were people from all over the country. Very limited. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I would ask them all, as I've asked my own sons, well,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: did they teach you about 9-11 in school?
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Was there?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: A dedicated time, a curriculum maybe on the anniversary itself
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of 9-11 because everybody goes to school.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It's not a day off.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: No.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Do you know why?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: It was just mentioned. They didn't go in-depth.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And so when we have a generation now, which oftentimes
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: is starting to question, if you go along the lines
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of Hassan Piker, who said, America deserved 9-11, there is
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: an element of thought amongst young people.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: They're not quite sure, but they basically say, did we
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: do anything wrong? to deserve it or to cause it?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Or was there a history there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: That was so provocative that it caused these hijackers to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: crash into the buildings and into the Pentagon, into the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: fields of Western Pennsylvania? That is some of the thought now,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: as opposed to during the attack, Larry, first five years.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I know you and I and others were dealing with
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: all these 9-11 truthers, you know, these deniers like Rosie O'Donnell,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen for a while.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no, no.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: It was George Bush who wanted this.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Sort of the way they said about Roosevelt wanted to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: set us up at Pearl Harbor to get us into
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the war because Americans didn't want to get into the war. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: But him and Churchill won.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: But I don't want you to talk about them and
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: people think that was the prevalent feeling.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: If you remember that time.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: I don't remember a time when there was more pro-American
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: feeling in this country, when there were flags everywhere. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: they were the minority, a slim, slim minority. I'd say
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: for the first five years that lingered. And then the
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: more prevalent thing was about the charter flights. that the
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Bush administration had gotten the Saudis, including relatives of Osama
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: bin Laden, that was the biggest construction company in all
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: of the Middle East, two dozen of them, got them
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: out of here and flew them right to Saudi Arabia
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: when there were no flights permitted.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: That lingered a long time, right on up to Tom
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Kane Sr., And I forget who the congressman was from Ohio.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Remember where they put out the 9-11 commission?
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: And I'm embarrassed because I interviewed both of them and
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: I forget the other one.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. I'll look it up.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Now, remember, some of it was redacted.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So there are a lot of families that were upset
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: about the Saudi involvement or the perceived Saudi involvement into
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the Bushes. Were they favoring the Saudis at that point?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And then it's sort of like nothing for a while there, nothing.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: And now this sort of amongst young people that I
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: talk to who are Gen Z is some, not all.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Did we do anything to trigger this off? Because there
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: are others out there who are suggesting that. that there
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is a long history to this before the attack itself.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Can I give you the reason for this?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: There is a void in this country and even an
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: aberration in this country of American history. We're leaving out
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: in the schools anything that might be controversial, anything that
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: was too pro-American. And then we have this alternate history, like,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: for instance, of slavery. And we have an alternate history,
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: as if it's not bad enough. You know, there's things
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: that are now added to it. And if you try
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: to teach history the way that we learned it, there's revolt.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: How dare you? How dare you say that? So many
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: schools have dropped history, just dropped it. Many schools found
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: it too controversial. History shouldn't be controversial. And so there's
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: a void. And what happens when there's a void? Somebody
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: fills it. And who fills it? Influencers, people on the Internet.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: So all the things you're hearing don't come from schools
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: that they're learning because they didn't learn anything there. It
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: comes from them going on the Internet and being influenced
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: by the Hassans, pikers and others of the world.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll certainly have an opportunity.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: The British students at the University of Pennsylvania seem to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: know more about the history of 9-11 than our own
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: American students.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Guess what came in? An invitation over the weekend from Oxford. Oh, wow.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: So I'll be able to find out when that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Data set what the British students learned about that in
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: growing up because most they are British, but they also
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: have an international student body.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Is that coming up soon?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: No, not soon. Probably won't be until after the beginning
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: of the year. But San Francisco State, very liberal, very progressive.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: A few other schools that have come in.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I'll always, at the end, start in my conversations with
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: individual students, start sort of layering it in. What were
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: you taught about 9-11? Because I've told you what my
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: three sons, I would ask them. They went to public
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: schools here. Did they talk about 9-11?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: No, Daddy.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: They didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: What?
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: It's getting silly. Everything about history is like that. That's
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: why it's not being taught. All right, when we come back,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: first of all, leave us a talk back. We're going
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: to be talking about 9-11 all week, and we want
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: to hear your experience, and we want to also hear
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: what your thoughts, especially with everything that Curtis just said
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: right now. You can go to the iHeartRadio app, leave
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: us a talk back. And remember, the best talk back
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: of the week takes on the C-Crane radio. C-Crane radios
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: that work when it matters most. And listen to this.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Could dental floss... replace vaccine shots it's being tested right
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: now and it's very positive we'll share it with you
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: plus a chance to see andrea bocelli at 8 25 curtis.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Sliwa and larry menti in the morning on 7 10
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: wor the voice of new york.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Guaranteed human.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Now if you're somebody that's afraid of getting a vaccine
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: getting a shot i've got great news for you it's
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: not going to happen right away it's probably at least
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: a year off. But researchers say there may be a
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: new way to administer vaccines to patients who are afraid
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: of needles. It's something many of us do every single
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: day anyway. Many of us do it. Some of us
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: do it once in a while. And all of us
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: should do it every day. Dental floss. They're experimenting now
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: with using dental floss to administer vaccines. So you just
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: go to the pharmacy, buy a special dental floss, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: then you can use it, and it'll be just as
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: good as getting a vaccine. It's being looked at at
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: North Carolina University.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Harvinder Singh Gill is the lead researcher.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: We should expect a good response through this route. In addition,
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: we should expect a mucosal immune response.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he says almost anything can be used for this
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: because it is the gum area between your teeth that
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: will go right into your system.
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: You could do it yourself so you didn't have to
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: stand in the line so you could buy it, get
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: it from somewhere and do it right there.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: So it's going to be tested. It just started there.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: They have nothing but positive results right now and they're
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: going to start testing it around the country. So if
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: you're somebody, and I know there's a lot of people
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: that do this, that look for these different tests... Look
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: for this one. This might be a fun one to
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: get involved with.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: So let me ask you a question. A lot of
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: people don't floss at all.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: They either don't have the patience or they don't want
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to go in and out between the teeth. So this
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: would be a way to get them to get their
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: vaccine and also floss simultaneously.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: It's win-win.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: They'll have nicer breath and they'll have cleaner teeth and they.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Won't be sick.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: They also said what's really good about this, and it
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: could maybe bring down the cost of things possibly, that
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: it doesn't have to.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Be refrigerated like other vaccines have to be. So the
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: distribution would be... Probably a lot less expensive.
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Well, everything.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: That's the big problem with it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: The pharmaceutical industry will come out against it because they're
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: going to lose a lot of money on this.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Now, question. Was this run by RFK Jr.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: who, depending on which vaccine, is not necessarily always on board?
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Does he floss?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen his smile. What's his smile like?
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's got a Kennedy.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: He's got a Kennedy smile.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he's had work done on those teeth.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I was trying to find something and I didn't read up,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I guess, enough about it. But did you hear anything like,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: is this a one-time floss? Do you have to floss
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: for a while for it to take effect?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Anything I say would be guessing.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I was going to say, I floss not
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: as regularly as I should.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm holding a press conference. At this point,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: there's more questions than answers.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I would say when I've watched people, they come in
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: three categories. People who would never floss. Maybe they'd hang
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: themselves with a floss. But other than that, people who
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: occasionally in the privacy of their bathroom will floss. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: then others right after a meal will start flossing at.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: The freaking table. I hate that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: You said, what are you doing?
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: You'll be sitting on the subway.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Watching someone floss.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: It's like you're swallowing that, right? Whatever you just picked out,
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: that's not ending up on the seat, is it? Or
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: flicking into the air. I floss constantly. And the reason
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: I do is I just hate the feeling of having
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: stuff caught in my teeth.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I hate it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: And now it's so easy with those little floss picks.
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Also, you've developed a technique to it so that you
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: can get it over lickety split. Because before, you'd have
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to go like sawing wood, you know, back and forth,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: back and forth.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: And then it bleeds sometimes.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, thank God you're not a studio flosser. They don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: have to watch you floss. No, no, no.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I do floss in the car on the way here, though.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I do with the little pick. I have picks in
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: my car. I went from never flossing to being a
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: flossing maniac.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I'll never forget the time. Well, let's go, Larry.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I could save this for another day. You want to
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: do the talk back?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: My daughter was a U.S.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: History Ph.D.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: Candidate about 15 years ago, and her advisor.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Well-known professor.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: was writing a book on U.S. history for a textbook
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: for U.S. history and asked her to review it. She
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: had one chapter on what kind of food you can
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: eat and one paragraph on September 11th.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: That's amazing, isn't it? How we're burying this. It is
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: happening throughout history classes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And again, I think my appearance at the University of Pennsylvania,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I had to be over 150 kids there.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Coming from all over the country.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Is an indication of that because he's considered the brightest
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: of the bright in Ivy League school and yet little, if.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Any, information.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: And if you don't have information, and as you pointed out, Larry,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: if influencers are putting out this concept, well, maybe America
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: did things to deserve it. Like Hassan Piker had said, remember,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: America deserved 9-11. If you don't have information to buttress that, like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You might be like open-minded to say, well, maybe we
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: did do something I'm unaware of that caused them to
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: get so aggravated they would want to hijack planes and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: crash them into buildings and kill 3,000 people at the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: World Trade Center site and others at the Pentagon and
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: in western Pennsylvania.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: That seems to be the answer to everything these days,
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: especially among Gen Zers, is that if something bad happens,
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: America is to blame.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: There is a petition online.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Right now that has been signed by over.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: 100,000 people asking New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani not to
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: be there at the 9-11 ceremony on Friday.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: And they're doing so because of past comments that he
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: has made and associates that he has who either said
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: derogatory things about the investigation of 9-11 or said pro
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: things about Islam leaders connected to 9-11.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: And it's growing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, right now, not only did it jump from
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: 80,000 to 100,000 just in the past week, but But
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: you have some big names out. As a matter of fact,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: the mayor of 9-11, the mayor who rose to national
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: and international prominence because of the way he handled 9-11,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Rudy Giuliani, has said very publicly that Zoran Mamdani should
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: not go.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: He doesn't agree that September 11 was an Islamic terrorist
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: attack on the United States of America. One that is
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: in terms of a war or effort continuing today. and
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: maybe even worse today. So having lost friends there and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: being very close to many of the families, it offends
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: me that he's coming.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and Governor Pataki has said something similar, and so
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: has Nicole Malliotakis, the congresswoman from Staten Island.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: You know, when he pals around with people like Hassan Piker,
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: who said that America deserved 9-11, of course these families
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: don't want to see him there. They're offended and rightfully so.
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: I think what I would like to do is just
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: take away the spotlight from him because this day is
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: not about him in any way. Yes, he's the mayor.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, he will be there.
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: But the day is not about him.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: You're exactly right. It shouldn't be about him. So we
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: shouldn't make it about him at this point. If he's
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: going to go, he's definitely going to go. So maybe
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: we get to the point now where we can just
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: talk about the families and the victims. One last person,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: John Gorman, who was at the site in 9-11. He's
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: now a trustee with the retired Port Authority police. He
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: said his membership has voted and they do not want
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Zoram Mamdani to go.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: We've recognize her authority to issue proclamations like she did
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: for Muslim American Heritage Month.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, he also doesn't want Kathy Hochul to go.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: This is why he's asking that. He says they voted
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: on Mamdani. They also, the Port Authority, they don't want
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Governor Kathy Hochul to be there either because of this.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: We recognize her authority to issue proclamations like she did
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: for Muslim American Heritage Month, but we question her decision
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: to illuminate the World Trade Center as one of the
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: 16 sites that she chose. We believe there were other
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: sites available, and it was completely insensitive and tone-deaf to
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: pick that. The World Trade Center was attacked twice and
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: ultimately destroyed by radical Muslim, radical Islamist terrorists.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Okay, now everybody had this, said their piece. Everybody's signed
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: the petition. Everybody's made their complaint. Kathy Hochul and Zura Mamdani...
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: The mayor of New York City and the governor of
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: New York are going to be there. So we need
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: to get used to that. You've made your point. You
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: yelled and screamed. Now we should just talk about 9-11
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: and remember the people that died on that day and
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: pay some respect to the families by just focusing on
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: that day and what happened. And I believe, as you do,
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: that we should just leave the politics out of it
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: at this point.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not going to happen. There's going to be
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: a series of days where the people who don't want
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Zoran Mandami to come are going to continue to make
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: their arguments.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: It's a waste of time. He's coming.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: They asked him not to come. He's coming, as you
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: pointed out. Now Governor Hochul, you don't want her to come?
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: You're going to have a list of people you don't
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: want to come? They stand there. They don't speak. They
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: pay their respects. But some are going a little too far.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Rudy.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: In addition to asking that Mandami not show up, said
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: about Muslims, they have every desire to take us over.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: This is not just another religion. They want to dominate us. Look,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Rudy deserves all the credit in the world for what
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: he did for us in the aftermath of 9-11. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to suggest that all Muslims, they're in the police department,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: they're in our military, They're in government. Nancy Mace has
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: suggested that every elected Muslim be removed from office in
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the United States. Where are they coming up with these things?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: This is America. You said we, and it's Rudy.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not sure he has that much support
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: on that particular issue.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Maybe he does.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Be surprised.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm saying maybe he does because there's a root
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: of anti-Muslim feelings in this country.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: But I don't think it's anywhere near the mainstream issue.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: By the way, there's been a lot of talk over
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: the last couple of days as to whether there could
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: be another 9-11 or an attack like that. And the
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: FBI and the CIA feel confident that an attack of
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: that size with that much planning and that much planning
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: in the United States, they said we have an operation
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: in place that would be able to handle that. What
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: they're afraid of is something we've seen now for the
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: last couple of years. And luckily, they've got them before
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: they've went through with their attacks, for the most part,
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: or the attacks have failed. And that are lone wolves
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: being inspired by ISIS or Al Qaeda.
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: We see people getting radicalized from the comforts of their
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: own homes. through social media, the internet. Those are the
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: folks that keep me up at night because it's just
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: so hard. It's so much harder for us to detect those.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: That was Chris Rea, who is FBI co-deputy director.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Curtis, you were saying something?
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: No, no, I'm saying, obviously, we've seen that.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: We saw that from the two guys who were going
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: to high school in Bucks County. In fact, I was
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: talking to some people from Bucks County when I was
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania. I said, do
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: you happen to know these two guys?
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: We knew of them.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: We didn't know them, but they were well-educated, smart, happened
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to be of Arabic background, and they were taking courses
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: from ISIS online. Exactly what the FBI guy said. Remember,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: it came with those bombs to Gracie Mansion when there
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: was a protest against Mandami.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Luckily, They didn't go off.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Up next, every mayor swears they're going to eliminate the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: violence at the annual West Indian Day Parade.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: They try all different schemes. More violence yesterday.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I'll break it down for you both before the parade
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and after the parade. But also, in addition to all
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the great costumes and the great music at every West
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Indian Day Parade, there is music of a West Indian
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: and Caribbean flavor. Well, every mayor tries with every police commissioner.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I've been with the West Indian Caribbean Day Parade going
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: back to Ed Koch. And Ed Koch with his police
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: commissioners and followed by David Dinkins and followed by Rudy
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and Bloomberg.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: And then de Blasio and Adams and now Mondami.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: They all try different ways to eliminate the violence that
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: is associated with this parade. So for the non-cognoscente, it
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: really comes in two separate parts. There is something called juve,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: which originally used to start overnight. It used to start
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: like 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock at night, go through the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: streets of East Flatbush, Flatbush, Crown Heights, and there'd be
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of violence associated with that. So the authorities decided, okay,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you can have your juve, but it's got to start
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: at 6 a.m.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: In the morning, you know, daybreak.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: So we can see what's going on and everybody gets
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: funneled into an area and they search everybody and you
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: can't bring bags in. But still, there's violence. There's lots
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: of barricades. There's cops doing triple, triple overtime. So they
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: don't mind it. I mean, it's platinum time. Remember, it's
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: a holiday. It's Labor Day. Plus, it's overtime. So it's
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: really platinum time. And the place is filled with uniformed
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and undercover cops.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: But inevitably, no matter.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: How you move the chess pieces on the chessboard, you
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: end up with violence. So yesterday, you had Jouvet starts
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: at 6 in the morning. They're all moving down flat push,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and they go through Empire Boulevard, mostly younger people. And
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: at the end of it, about 11 o'clock, three people
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: get stabbed, one gets slashed. Now, that's before the start
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: of the big parade. So the big parade starts at
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock. And in the beginning of the big parade,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Larry and Natalie in our audience, it's mostly older people.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: It's the politicians. They come through. They make their speeches.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: The big group that was missing this year, they usually
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: started off or the Catholic groups that were filled with Haitians.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: No Haitians. They were fearing that they'd get picked up
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: by ICE.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: The one place that I would never rate is the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: West Indian Caribbean Day Parade. There's a million people out there.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: They would never try to snatch you up, but they
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: have fear. So eliminate that group, but every other group
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: had their attendance. So the older people come first, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: then it gets to about 3 o'clock, Larry, and the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: younger people take over. And they start yelling at one another,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: flags up, flags up. So imagine you have 13 separate groups.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Island countries represented 18 territories. They all have their own flags.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: They wear them around their neck. So when they're up
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: to no good, trouble, they say flags up, flags up.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: So the flags now cover their face like they're going
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: to come into a bank like Jesse James and hold
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: up the bank. And if they have a dispute with
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: one another, a lingering dispute or maybe a dispute that
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: goes back to the biggest two groups that don't like
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: one another and they're the largest groups of the Jamaicans.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: And those from Trinidad and Tobago, they'll start fighting.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Or it could come about because some women will allow
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: themselves to be daggered. These are women who are scantily clad.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: You know, they're in the parade. And they will start
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: shimmering and then drop down and touch their toes. And
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: that's an invitation to a guy to come behind them
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: and simulate sex. They call that daggering, being like a caterpillar.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: But there are some women. That don't want any men
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: coming anywhere near them. And if the men have had
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: a little red stripe beer or they've been smoking spliffs,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: they get a little too frisky. Then other guys jump
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: in and you have an immediate fight. So at the
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: end of the parade at about. four o'clock, you had
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: three shootings. Now, this year, they wanted to truncate the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: parade a little earlier. They took a half hour off
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: of the parade. So would it officially end at 530?
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Half hour is going to do much.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: OK, this all sounds awful.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: It sounds awful.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: It's insane.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Just a giant crime.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: But it's also like, why are we putting all of
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: these different groups together for a parade when they don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: seem to mix? It's like the Jets and the Sharks
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: having a parade together.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
