Hour 2: Carnegie Deli · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wow. All of a sudden, an amazing eruption has taken
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: place on Ed Sheeran's North America, South America tour. He
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: was going to devote months going from Canada all the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: way down to Argentina and Chile. As you know, he's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: got quite a following out there. He's done a number
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of amazing videos, a number of amazing songs. And his
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: opening act, Macklemore, who's a rapper... white rapper, in fact,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: from Seattle, set it off when they were at MetLife Stadium.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And at MetLife Stadium, right when he got into a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: song that was dedicated, Heinz Hall, to what has happened
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: with the Palestinian people, this was on September 5th, while
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: introducing the song, he said, free Palestine, free Palestine, and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: then added, To all my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide, it is
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in no way criticism of you. Now, there were a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: number of Jewish people who were in attendance who took
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: offense to it. They took videos of it. There were
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: others that didn't seem to have a problem with it,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: but it took on a life of its own because
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the tour is heading up to Gillette Stadium outside of Boston.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: This is where the New England Patriots play. And it's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: owned by Robert Kraft. And in fact, the two hoped-for
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: concert dates, which had already been booked, were taking place
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: next week. Two nights with Ed Sheeran and Macklemore. But
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, within the last 48 hours, Ed
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Sheeran has said, look, Macklemore will no longer be my
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: opening act. It's not anything that I chose. The promoters
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of the tour have decided they can't go forward because
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: there are other venues that will not accept him as
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: part of my concert. He then went on to say,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I have my personal views on this devastating conflict, but
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to do politics. I'm here just to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: entertain the crowd. Macklemore doubled down, and then apparently the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: people who were going to replace Macklemore on the tour
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: as the opening act They also decided that they would
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: not participate. So it's come down to a situation where
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Robert Kraft is the person who lobbied the other venues
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: not to accept the concert with Ed Sheeran if Macklemore
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was part of it. So it wasn't just Gillette Stadium,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: which he controls. He's the owner and operator of it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: but he lobbied the others. And now he's trying to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: backpedal a bit and say, well, look, I agree. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: agree with Macklemore on some of the issues affecting Palestinian people.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'd like to have a sit down and discuss this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But what he did was anti-Semitic. And this gets to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the whole debate that is raging, not just in our area,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but all throughout America. If you criticize the government of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Israel now, does that make you anti-Semitic?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me go back to the concert for a second, though.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I feel so bad for Ed Sheeran at this point.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ed Sheeran didn't ask for this. I've seen
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran in concert a couple of times. I'm a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: fan of his. I've seen many interviews with him. He
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: tries to play it straight down the middle, never talks
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: about politics, never talks about anything controversial. And for this
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to be laid on his doorstep, now all of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: sudden is just completely unfair. So let's just take him
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: out of the conversation because he really had nothing to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: do with this. And now he's been put in this situation,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: which is horrible. Now you have them trying to find
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: other opening acts and they're all now saying, we're not
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: going to do it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: One after another, after another, after half the people you
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: don't know. At Macklemore, by the way, of all the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: people that are listed here, like Boyegas.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Who the heck is that?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: All the other people that are listed, nobody knows, or
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: they have a very small fan base. At least Macklemore
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: was a name. And it wasn't just Kraft, it was
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the promoter as well. The promoter is the one that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was talking to all the owners. Kraft did it at
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: his own place. I'm not sure he pressured everybody else.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: The promoter said, We're not going to do this anymore.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: We're not going to have this.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I really believe, even though Ed Sheeran's statement doesn't say this,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I think Ed Sheeran wants to be as far away
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: from this as he possibly can be. Can you imagine
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: if he went from city to city to city to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: city and each person got up and made some type
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of political statement before he got up? That's the whole show.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: They take all of the attention away from the headliner.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: which is not their job. And so I listen in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: this whole thing. I feel like Ed Sheeran's a victim
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and nobody else is in this whole thing. He's, he's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: taking a lot of incoming people. Aren't following them. People
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: feel like he should be supporting Macklemore, which he did
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: as much as he could without trying to get political.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that everybody listening right now, and I'd
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: love to hear your talk backs, everybody listening right now,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: They don't go to a concert to hear anything political
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: unless they're being told ahead of time this is going
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to be a political concert. Unless they're being told ahead
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of time, like Springsteen used to do. Now he just
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: springs it on you. Springsteen used to say, we're going
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to do a political concert, and I wouldn't go because
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I knew what he was going to say. But listen,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Macklemore was wrong. He was absolutely wrong. I know he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: being hailed as a hero by the left right now,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: but he was wrong. He shouldn't be up there espousing
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: his political opinion when he's the opening act. It's not
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: fair to the venue owner. It's not fair to the promoter.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It's not fair to the headliner. And so I'm glad
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: he's off the tour. I'm glad he is. As a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, Ed Sheeran can handle it by himself.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Well, there's no doubt he could handle it by himself,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but you're assuming that Ed Sheeran did not know this
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about Macklemore. Macklemore has a history of doing this. Did
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran, when they signed him up, because now he's claiming, oh,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's the promoters, the promoters who put him on the bill.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that. When you're the star, you determine
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: who your opening acts are. If you're not happy with
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the opening acts, you don't go on tour. Did Ed
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Sheeran have a conversation with Macklemore? They're friends. He said, hey, Mack,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're on my tour, I'd prefer that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you not do any political references because this is obviously
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a tour that's going to go from North America to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: South America. It's going to take many weeks, many months.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people involved with this. So
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you're blaming Ed Sheeran for this? No, I'm just wondering
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: because obviously Ed Sheeran is not talking.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Ed Sheeran, by the way.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He's blaming the promoters. The promoters don't have that kind
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of power to tell you your opening act has to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be McLemore. Come on. That's what Ed Sheeran does. seems
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to be implying is that this is my opening act.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: This is what I was told to do. This guy
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is a friend of his. He knows Macklemore has done
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this before. And in fact, Macklemore made this announcement in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: midlife right before he did his song, Heinz Hall, which
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: refers to the building at Columbia University that was taken
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: over by the pro-Palestinian crowd that In fact, right now,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it's all part of the news. Mahmoud Khalil is suing
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Columbia because he led that demonstration.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: We know that story.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So all the other people that are now on Ed
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Sheeran's side saying that McLemore shouldn't have done that to him,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: they are all being misguided. Sheeran lied, obviously, because you're saying,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: because he says the promoters decided this, not me. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the promoters are also saying this was our decision. But
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: they're all lying. So now this has turned not only
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in your mind, not only into some guy showing up
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and ruining a concert, but now a big conspiracy against him.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: No. I mean, do you really think as big as
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran is? that he is forced to have Macklemore
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: as his opening act. Do you really believe that? Oh, no,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he was going to do this. I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: did not think he– I think for– because he went
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: way overboard in this because he said F Israel at
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: one point.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: So he went way overboard. He didn't say that. I'll
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: get it for you.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Let me be specific again. because this falls right into
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the trap that if you criticize the Israeli government now
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of Bibi, you immediately get called an anti-Semite, which is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: exactly what Robert Kraft was saying. What he said was,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: free Palestine, free Palestine. And then he went on to say, hey,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: this is not a reflection on Jewish people at all.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: This is a reflection on what obviously McLemore believes is genocide,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: apartheid in Gaza. To all my Jewish brothers and sisters,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide. It
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is in no way criticism of you. So let me go.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Find the clip that we played the other day where
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: we bleeped him out, and then you can believe it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'll play that a little bit later in the show.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: All right, so assuming it is.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But he also said that. That's a direct quote.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: You did say that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Right. But the fact is that he has a history
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of doing this in concerts. I would just like to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: know if Ed Sheeran, who is a friend of his,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: had a conversation before they started this podcast. huge tour,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: North America and South America. And he said, hey, you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'd like you to just. forget the political stuff.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: He says he didn't know. Ed Sheeran has come out
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and said he didn't know. And he said this was
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: not my decision to have him in there. He didn't
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: know he was going to say that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Should he have known?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: That's your point. That's a stronger point instead of calling
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: him a liar. I don't think this guy is lying.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think Ed Sheeran's lying. I think he got
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: screwed by Macklemore because now there's negative publicity.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: This guy never has any negative publicity about him, ever.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're correct. You're correct. And I and Nancy, we
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: love his songs. We love his videos. I just think
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the person who is going to benefit most from this
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: now is Macklemore. He'll be able to go on his
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: own tours.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're right.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And he'll be able to go to countries that are
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: very pro-Palestinian, including Ireland and Scotland and Spain and a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of countries. So the best to Ed Sheeran,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: obviously the best to everybody who is part of that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: tour who is depending on that income that they're not
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: going to get, all the roadies, all the people we
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: don't even think about that have basically put away a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: year of their life because this is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: How they earn their income. I think it's still going
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: to sell out. People will want to see Ed Sheeran.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to continue.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Nobody comes for the opening act.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: No, I know, but I don't know if Ed Sheeran
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: wants to be at a concert where all of a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: sudden people start pulling out Palestinian flags in support of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Macklemore and the other artists.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you he's not going to cancel this concert
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: because he'll get sued.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: He'll get sued by all of the owners, the venue owners.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And I think Robert Kraft himself should never have inserted
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: himself as the spokesperson for Because he's like the worst
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: possible spokesperson you can have. I mean, here's the rubbing
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: tug guy. Remember at the Super Bowl, decided to go
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: get a kimchi cutie to give him a happy moment.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: This is not the guy you want speaking on behalf
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of all the owners and operators of the arenas in
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: America who said, we're going to cancel out on you, Ed,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: but you got to let Macklemore go.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Have you seen some strange gold cars riding around New
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: York with no driver? Well, we can explain what they
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: are coming up next. Plus, a chance to see Richard
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Marks at 825. Now, I want to talk about Seacrane
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: right now. The Seacrane Radio 3 is the big radio
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to have. That's the main radio you need to have.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: There's a whole lot of Seacrane products that you can
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: use for different things, for going to ballgames. for emergencies
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: so they don't go out, but this is the almost
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: everything radio. With the addition of Bluetooth, you now have
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: this huge palette of radio shows and podcasts available from
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: any smartphone or speaker. The CC Radio 3 has great
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: reception for long-range AM FM stations, along with emergency capabilities
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: like the NOAA weather and the 2-meter ham band. Because
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: reliable communication, staying connected, Those two things are essential during
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: unforeseen events. Now, if you listen primarily to voice content,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the CC Radio 3 is arguably worth the price alone.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Audio quality for the spoken word sounds like the host
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: is sitting.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Right next to you.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Separate bass and treble controls let you customize the sound
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: for Israel, for Israel, for clear, natural audio. Got Israel
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: on my mind. It runs on the included power cord
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: or a set of batteries for over 170 hours. To
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: order the CC Radio 3, call C-Crane at 800-522-8863.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: That's C-Crane at 800-522-8863. Once again, 1-800-522-8863. Or visit them
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: online at C-Crane.com. Also available online. at Amazon Saturday night,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: starting at.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Be seeing a really strange looking futuristic car, something like
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: out of a Jetsons driving around the streets of New
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: York over the next month or so, because it is
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk's Tesla cyber cab.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: That is going to be riding around.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Now these cyber cabs are fully autonomous without a steering
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: wheel and They're going to be driving– they're testing them
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: now in six different areas, including New York City. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the idea is to just at this point get information
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: about how they do and if they stop on time,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: if they don't hit anybody, that kind of stuff. This
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: is just a complete test. So you don't try to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: wave one down because nobody's in there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Nobody's going to stop. But I don't even think now, Curtis,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: you took a look at this thing. Yes. It doesn't
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: look like a taxi.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: No, it's all gold plated. You think, my God, it
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: looks like it could be a military style SUV that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: would be fighting in the Middle East.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like all Tesla vehicles. They don't look like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a normal vehicle. You know, they look like they're geared
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: up to be used for other purposes, but no drivers.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So this is like the Waymos I came across when
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I spoke at Stanford during the Memorial Day weekend about AI.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And remember, I refused to take the Waymos. They have
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: only driverless cabs out there by Waymo. I refuse. I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: walk to and from the campus. I would not get
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: into one of those vehicles simply because I don't want
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: men and women to lose their livelihood as drivers.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I've never gotten into Waymo or any of
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: these driverless cabs. So you can't wave them down, right?
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I think you have to probably use an app.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But that would be cool if you could.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I know, if they could somehow sense that you're waving
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: them down. Because then people would do it constantly and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: not mean it. They'd just wave constantly to screw with it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so anyway, if you see one of these cars,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what's happening.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of talkbacks to get to. Let's
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: get to our first one.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: I think the federal government should take advantage of this
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Danbury police, you know, this new law to sign up...
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: illegals to be police officers. So when they have their
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: recruiting periods, get ICE in there. And as they come
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: in to sign up to be a cop, our ICE
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: friends can put them in cuffs.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: The only problem is, and I'll just make one small correction,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: these are people.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: That aren't here illegally.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: They are non-citizens, but they didn't come over legally on
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the border, or if they did, they have a visa.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I think, Larry, the U.S. military, if you sign up
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and you do a tour, that will earn you an
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: opportunity to get citizenship for you and your family. I
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: think that standard still is in effect. I'm not sure.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to research it after the show. Maybe you'll
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: have AI research.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have it. Mr. AI. I'll have it in
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: a couple of minutes. Okay.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Larry, listening to that juror and the ignorance that
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: she exhibited about her duties and responsibilities as a juror
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: is appalling. We've had jury nullification before in other contexts,
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: racial contexts and other contexts. But when jurors start using
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: the jury system for political purposes or trying to make statements,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: we're in real big trouble. And that's exactly what happened here.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: It's very sad for those three kids.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed like it was a mob of women
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that teamed up on the three men, and two of
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: them cowered and one of them didn't.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: But that does fit the definition of jury nullification, where
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you make up your mind without hearing all the facts.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Right, which is what she basically said when she was interviewed.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: All I can say is we need more Curtis Lee
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: was on the street. Thank you, Curtis, so much. That
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: was very brave of you, but also be careful.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I will tell you what has been really impressive is
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: how much Natalie and Curtis have been trying to find
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the address and the whereabouts of of the people that
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: sent the letters so that you can take it back
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to them.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was stolen by the two banditos that I confronted.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And I got the goods of how they do it
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: with all the glue traps that they then put on
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: their belts. And they put down the slots of the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: blue mailboxes. Do not mail, send any mail in the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: blue mailboxes anywhere, wherever you are. You could be in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Leave it to Beaverland. They steal out there too. Just
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: either bring it to your local post office or give
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it to the postal guy or gal who delivers your
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: mail because they'll take your mail, too.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News, Daria. Morning, guys.
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: A few clouds warmer and humid today with a high
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: of 78 degrees. The Fed will wrap up its latest
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: policy meeting later today, and it's expected to say something
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: that we haven't heard from in a while. They're going
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: to raise interest rates in an effort to slow down inflation.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: But analyst Andrew Lippo says if this happens, consumers are
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: going to feel it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: Bad news for the consumer.
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: Not only are they paying more for gasoline to fill
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: up their car, but the auto loan on that car
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: is now going to be more expensive.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: So let's try to look for the good in this.
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: It might be a good time, experts say, to start
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: an interest-earning savings account. Police are looking for a woman
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: in connection with an attempted kidnapping in Brooklyn.
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: The NYPD has released images of the suspect who approached
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: a four-year-old boy Monday afternoon in the Crown Heights section
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: of Brooklyn. Cops say the woman aggressively tried to grab
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: at the boy in front of a McDonald's and pharmacy
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: located at 1133 Eastern Parkway around 5 p.m. She failed
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: to grab him and ran down Utica Avenue. Anyone with
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: information is being asked to come forward.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: WOR News.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: The House has voted down a Democratic-led effort to impeach
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: President Trump 232 to 147. It was introduced by Texas
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: Democrat Al Green over what he called the conduct of
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: ICE agents and border protection. There are now two cases
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: of Legionnaire's disease and one death in the South Bronx.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, 12 cases. I stand corrected. City health officials
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: told a packed town hall last night that they don't
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: expect the cluster to grow and that the 10 cooling
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: towers for Legionella bacteria, which causes Legionnaire's disease, including Yankee Stadium,
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: they've all been disinfected. You know what they say about
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: politics and bedfellows? Well, meet the newest couple, Vermont Senator
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: Bernie Sanders and former Trump administration official Steve Bannon. They
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: will appear together today at the Pro-Human Assembly in D.C.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: to call for restrictions on artificial intelligence. The Yankees beat Minnesota,
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: and the Mets fell to Baltimore. Next news, 8 o'clock,
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Up next, right on time, our tech guy Rich DeMuro
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: about everything dealing with artificial intelligence because it's dominating the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: news cycle. Whether you happen to be pro, con, or
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you haven't quite figured out where you stand on the issue.
• 20:54

  Speaker 1: on the free iHeartRadio app this Friday and Saturday night. Well,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the whole world is talking about AI and the many
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: ancillary subjects that affect artificial intelligence. Yesterday, Rich DeMuro, Rich
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: on Tech, which is heard Sunday nights from 8 to 11,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: right here on 710WOR. Conference in San Francisco. You had
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the CEO of Anthropic and the CEO of OpenAI on
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: one side of the stage saying, hey, we got to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: put the brakes on this thing. It's starting to get
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: out of control. But the guy who provides almost all
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the chips from the video, the CEO, Jensen Wang, taking
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the Trump attitude, no, no, no, no, full speed ahead,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: no guardrails, no government interference. It's very, very confusing for everyone.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Can you help us sort this out? What are the pros?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: What are the cons? So that maybe some of our
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: listeners can come to their own conclusions.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I agree.
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: This is, and I'm sure at that conference in San Francisco,
• 22:35
  Speaker 12: it is a hot topic. Everyone has a take on this,
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: whether you work at one of these AI companies or
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: whether you're a consumer. And, you know, when you throw
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: around things like AI is going to eliminate humanity, that's
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: a big claim. And we don't know if that's possible
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: or how that would happen, or if that could happen.
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: But we do know one thing, AI is advancing. It
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: is unlike anything that we've ever had, I think, that
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: I've ever seen as a tech tool in my lifetime.
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: And I think that it is advancing at such a
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: rapid clip. And the thing is, this is what we
• 23:07
  Speaker 12: don't know. We don't know what happens to these systems
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: when they are left to do what they want to do.
• 23:13
  Speaker 12: And so there's one term I think that people should understand,
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: and it's alignment. This is the idea that AI is
• 23:20
  Speaker 12: on our side, right? On the side of humanity. But
• 23:23
  Speaker 12: guess what? There are always bad people out there. There
• 23:26
  Speaker 12: are always people that are going to program this stuff
• 23:28
  Speaker 12: to not be aligned with us. And we don't know
• 23:31
  Speaker 12: if AI will continue to stay aligned with our values.
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: And by the way, lots of us have different values.
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: So what are those values exactly? So I understand that
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: the CEOs of these companies that want to get this
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: debate out in the open are I also think there's
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: a lot of money at stake, obviously, on the side
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: of NVIDIA. They have invested a lot in this. They
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: stand to make a lot of money based on all
• 23:54
  Speaker 12: the investment in AI. And these companies, OpenAI and Anthropic,
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: are already well-established. So any regulations may continue to help
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: them thrive versus a startup. But the bottom line, I think,
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: Larry and Curtis, is that there are many players in
• 24:09
  Speaker 12: this industry, not just here in the U.S., not just
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: these big companies we're talking about. There are so many
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: different sides to this entire situation.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: There was a couple other things they kept mentioning at
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the conference, and it was the first time I heard it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: They kept saying every once in a while it left containment.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: We have 18 cases of it leaving containment. And I
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: kept wondering, what the heck does that mean? And I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: did some digging, and all it means is that it
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: was autonomous. It went out on its own. It was
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: thinking on its own, and it did something. That's a
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: little frightening.
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: It is, and it's one of these things where, you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: if you use OpenAI, if you use, you know, ChatGPT
• 24:49
  Speaker 12: on your computer, there's this idea that it can take
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: over your computer, right? It can actually do things. We
• 24:54
  Speaker 12: call this agentic AI, and smartphones are getting the same
• 24:57
  Speaker 12: way where your phone can actually take action. And a
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: simple example is if you wanted to call an Uber,
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: you would just tell your AI, hey, I need a
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: ride to the airport, and it would grab you that
• 25:09
  Speaker 12: ride in the background and And then it would just say, okay,
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: I found you your top three options. Which one do
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: you want me to book? Now, that's a simple, easy
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: use of AI autonomously. But when you think about all
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: the things that people may program AI to do, hey,
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: go out and find that nuclear reactor and see if
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: there's any issues in their programming that we can exploit. Now,
• 25:31
  Speaker 12: and this thing is like a pit bull, right? It
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: goes out there and it just figures out any way
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: it can to get into that system. And that's the
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: scary part.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: One last question on this, Rich, before we move on
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to other issues involving the tech world. They have this
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: one level they call superintelligence. I'm assuming that means even
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: if Einstein was sitting there, that form of AI could
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: outbattle intellectually anything that Einstein laid on the table. What
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is the difference when they say, well, there's superintelligence?
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: Well, I think superintelligence refers to beyond the capacity of
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: humans to understand it. I think that's really what it
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: comes down to. Right now, when you think about it,
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: if you use AI, you're sitting there and some of
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: the things it does, you're like, oh, that's pretty good.
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: But I understand that. I can do better. But when
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: we get AI that is smarter than any human anywhere,
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: and by the way, we already have kind of access
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: to this. If you think about AI as an extension
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: of your brain, we don't know all the answers instantly
• 26:33
  Speaker 12: about everything. There may be experts in fields that know
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: very specific things, But when you think about AI, it's
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: been programmed to know almost everything about everything in the world.
• 26:42
  Speaker 12: And that's really super intelligence when you think about it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: And right now, it's just locked into these chatbots. But
• 26:47
  Speaker 12: in the future, that may be walking around in some
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: sort of robot that understands everything, not just in the world,
• 26:54
  Speaker 12: but around it as well. And it just kind of
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: blows your mind when you start thinking about all of
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: the implications of this.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Let's get away from the scary stuff for one moment
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: and get to the fun stuff. I understand that you
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: have been able to handle one of Apple's iPhones that
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: are foldable. What was the experience like?
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: I mean, I've used a lot of foldable phones over
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: the past seven years, back to the very first one
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: that Samsung had, and I think it was 2019. This
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: is the iPhone Duo. It's basically a small... passport style
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: screen outside. It opens up to a big screen inside,
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: almost eight inches. So it's almost like a mini iPad
• 27:34
  Speaker 12: in your pocket. It's expensive, $ 2, 000. But Apple really addressed
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: many of the concerns I've had with foldables, which is
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: the software is usually terrible.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Apple made it great.
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: The apps usually don't take advantage of this big screen
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: and larger form factor. Of course, app developers are very
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: excited to make their apps look great on this. And
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: they didn't have MagSafe. They weren't very durable and they
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: didn't have, you know, stylus support. Apple has given this
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: thing all of those. So pre-order start in October. This
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: thing will be in Apple stores on October 23rd. I
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: believe it will sell out. I think if you travel,
• 28:12
  Speaker 12: if you like having two apps open side by side,
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: or you just want the latest, coolest, greatest thing from Apple,
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: you'll love it. Camera's not going to be as good
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: as the pro models.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: That's for sure. Well, I do appreciate that. Thank you, Rich.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: A very momentous occasion, and you brought a lot of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: clarity to this AI subject. It still has people wondering,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: which way do we go? Do we go any way?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you, thank you again, Rich, again.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: You can hear Rich Sunday nights right here on the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: biggest talk radio station in the nation, WOR710, 8 to 11.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And you can just go to at Rich on tech
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: on Instagram if you want to continue the conversation with Rich.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Well, the Carnegie Deli has officially reopened. And guess who
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: was there? Natalie Migliore. That's where she did her beat
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: on the street. It is up next.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: It's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Well, so you returned to the final Sour Garlic Pickle
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Championship that I earned outside of the old Carnegie Valley
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: for its grand reopening. What was it like, Natalie?
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: Pretty magnificent in a way of the idea of bringing
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: old New York back to new, in a sense, recreating history.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: really the original deli in a sense they have the
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: wall of fame pictures all over of famous people and
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: celebrities who have graced the iconic deli just a few
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: steps away from where it originally started now After nearly
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: a decade of only sending out products via e-commerce, that's
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: how they were doing it. They were selling stuff online
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: with other things and putting their items in stands at
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: sporting arenas like MSG or.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: At the US Open.
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: When I was at the US Open, I saw the
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: Carnegie Deli there. They've finally got a permanent place in
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: New York to call home, just steps away from the
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: old one. Now, Carnegie CEO Sari Hunter, who is the
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: granddaughter of the original owner, says Carnegie's return is really
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: a credit to one thing.
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: Just all the emails, all the DMs, all the people
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: just say, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back.
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: That's really what it was, the fans. It feels great.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: It's really exciting. I'm so happy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: All these people, making them happy, making them smile. the
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: iconic New York foods in Midtown.
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: You need your cheesecake.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: You need your pastrami in Midtown.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: And we're here.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: Okay, so we're dozens of people steadily lining up to
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: get a table in the eatery that has about 110 seats.
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: The sandwiches are huge, a testament to what patrons remember
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: standing in line with a pastrami sandwich. Sandwich?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Sandwich?
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Running?
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Running?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: A sandwich.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: A sandwich. But we're talking pastrami, so there's no mozzarella
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: in it. What do you say, sandwich?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Sandwich.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: There's a D.
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: Sandwich.
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: I don't want any sandwich.
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: Sandwich.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Sandwich. I don't want any sand in my witch. Anyway.
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: It'll run you about $ 29, you know, tax and tip
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: if you're sitting down and stuff. So Michael was actually
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: an actor on the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel set when Carnegie
• 31:45
  Speaker 11: Deli did a pop-up in Soho eight years ago. He
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: never had it before that day, but he tells me
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: he's been thinking about what he had that day nearly
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: a decade ago, and he had a return for more.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: So when I heard they were reopening, I'm like, wow.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Just to have that cheesecake again, and all those sandwiches,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and they've never missed a step.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I love this place.
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: I grew up in New York.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I live in North Carolina now. I thought, that's where
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going. We have to, I have to have for
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Stormy and I. Okay, well, I've been to a Carnegie
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Dome before. You saw it there 50 years ago.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I happen to be in town in its opening, so
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I knew it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: They had a place in Las Vegas. We were at
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: the one in the garage. We've been coming here for
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: like 40 years.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: How does it taste compared to 10 years ago?
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: Spot on. Spot on.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: It's delicious.
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: We would have it flown in. They're shipping it out.
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: And I think I've saved the best for last because
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: that gentleman, Marty from Pittsburgh, who's probably made headlines since
• 32:42
  Speaker 11: he was the first person there yesterday, literally that's what
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: they call him because he used to go four times
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: Times a year to the Carnegie Deli from from Pittsburgh
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: was the first one there won a lotto was going
• 32:57
  Speaker 11: to get his picture on the Hall of Fame, brought
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: his family with him. But I had to ask him,
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: how does a guy from Pittsburgh. Find a place in
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: the heart of New York City.
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: I work for a company. The Javits Center has just opened,
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: and the guy that brought me up here was training
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: me to be a buyer. When we were done working,
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: he said, I'm going to take you to the Mecca
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: of Jewish delis. And we went in the place up
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: the street, and it was amazing. I had the muscle
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: ball soup and the corned beef that day, and just
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: kept on coming here ever since.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Now, Larry. You got to come with us for the reopening,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and I want you to order in your classic way,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: pastrami on rye with mayonnaise.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: With mayonnaise? Is that controversial? I'm not going to have
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: mayonnaise on pastrami. Yeah, but you did when you went
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: to the original. No, I had roast beef. Roast beef.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: With mayonnaise. With mayonnaise.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Mike.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I was in there yesterday.
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: Okay, with the sandwiches, our huge people are taking them home,
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: like half a sandwich home. I just, I can't wait.
• 34:06
  Speaker 11: for a knish my dad always says oh yes knish
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: is the dish and I'm just so excited for a
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: knish so that's like what.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: We have to get I'm all there as.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I told you when I won my last garlic sour
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: garlic eating pickle championship he's so proud of this he's
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: still living off.
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: Of that now everybody I'd like to remind you it
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: closed 10 years ago so now we're going to have
• 34:28
  Speaker 11: to hold another.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Contest there's an addition here is there a plaque we
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: can put on it We need to get him plaques
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: for these things.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda, the Dodger manager, should be up there in
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the Wall of Fame. His family was there the day
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I won. You know who's playing Tommy Lasorda in the movie?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Who's that? Robert De Niro.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: They just announced it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: He's probably up on that wall, too. We're going to
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: make you walk around.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Am I on the wall?
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: If not, we're going to get you on it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't make a promise.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Don't make a promise.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, you'll be on Dancing with the Stars.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Don't make a promise. You just made the biggest mistake.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: That was a big, big mistake. I'm going to push
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the envelope. That's going to haunt you. A lot of
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: things haunt me. All the years that he is alive,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: he's going to come after you. A lot of things
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: haunt me. He's going to show up at your wedding
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: and say, you promised.
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: He haunts me for a lot of things, though, so
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: it's fine. Giving me a tough time all the time.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I'll be checking every day on my way home to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: see if I'm up on the wall of a fan.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, you're right.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: But anyway.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: He's going to be back tomorrow.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Well, the Salesforce Dreamforce conference in San Francisco with all
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: of the top leaders of AI was yesterday. And stealing
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: the show for the most part was CEO Sam Altman
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: because he said some really frightening things. He said, that
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the world has the right to be afraid of AI
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: companies gaining too much power and undue economic influence, which
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: was a fascinating statement because he's not saying in particular
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: that AI is the problem, but the companies that run
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: AI and the power that they will then have over everybody.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Which is really fascinating because it's the very first time
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I've heard that. I heard everybody talking about the mechanism
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: of AI, not the people that run AI. And that,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: to me, what he said is a little bit scarier
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: than what everybody else has been talking about. Because I
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: think that there's a lot of fear with AI because
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: it is the unknown. And that it will unleash itself somehow.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: It will break containment, as they kept saying. But that
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: being said, Curtis, I'm not sure Sam Altman, who is
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: the CEO of OpenAI, is the best spokesperson for AI.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Just because of the way he sounds. Tell me if
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: this doesn't sound familiar.
• 37:02
  Speaker 14: The world should trust that we are going to do
• 37:05
  Speaker 14: the right thing. Because it's the right thing and because
• 37:08
  Speaker 14: we feel the magnitude of this.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: When have you heard that voice before?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Boy, it's creepy.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: It's Hal from 2001. That's who that is.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Well, first off, understand the lineage of Sam Altman.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: He's a creepy guy. Obviously very successful. Put into business
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: by Peter Thiel, best friend of Donald Trump. strong Republican
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: who's now gone to Argentina with his family. Because remember,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: in his way, he's thinking there's going to be some
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: kind of Antichrist return. These are all eccentric people. They're
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: very successful. But when you're successful, you're eccentric. And he
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: was a Democrat, big Democrat. But then he came over
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to the Trump side. So but he's been putting this
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: out there, you know, this fear, this fright, this hysteria.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Have you heard that before, though, that they say it's
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: not the fear of the tool, it's the fear of
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: the people who will be wielding the tool?
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: No, he never got that specific.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: That was incredible, and that makes sense.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: So the anthropic guy was there who has been joining
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: him in a chorus line because they're way ahead of
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the race with AI in America, and they don't want
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the competition. The one I want to hear from, because
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: he's really not way up there with AI, is Elon Musk,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: who signed on to everything they said. And we know
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: he's a Trumper. He's pouring his money into this midterms,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: $ 100 million to get out to vote. He's been quiet,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: but he signed on to what they had written about
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: over the weekend about the possible dangers of AI and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: why it has to be reined in. Yesterday, who was
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: up on the Hill? I mean, you talk about us,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the odd couple. Is this not the odd couple? Bernie
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the Alta Cocker Sanders, leading of the Socialists of America,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: standing with Steve Bannon, you know, who's like the far, far,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: far right, standing together in opposition of AI in Washington, D.C.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have one thing in common. That I
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: saw when they spoke from the stage. They're both crazy.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: They look crazy.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: From either ends of the spectrum, but man, were they
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: saying some outlandish stuff. That's why nobody's really covering them today,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: because all they were doing was fear mongering. You've been
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: talking about for a while, and it's a fascinating point.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I think you're the first person I heard say this.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: That some of the people that want restraints now put
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: on AI are way out in front.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In the race, nobody has come close. You can't
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: even see their backsides. Like if this were a horse race,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: they're not even– they're almost lapping the rest of the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: competition in America.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: So in the middle of a race, being in first,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: being able to say, oh, now we need rules. We
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: need rules that's just going to benefit them. And the
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: guy that you keep talking about that you have been
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: listening to on AI, J.D. Vance, is also suspicious.
• 40:04
  Speaker 12: The fact that you have so many frontier AI tech
• 40:07
  Speaker 12: companies kind of coming to the government and begging the
• 40:10
  Speaker 12: government to regulate them, it.
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: Feels a little bit to me like a bit of
• 40:13
  Speaker 14: a Trojan horse.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: So Trump, who's taking the lead on this and saying, no, no, no.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: No guardrails. We're in a race with Red China. They're
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: not operating with guardrails. And he's got the meeting with
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Xi coming up in almost a week. You know, that's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: going to be a prime part of their discussion when
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Xi from Red China comes to the White House. He
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: has allied himself with Wang, who makes all the chips,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: not the potato chips, but those super chips. Wang is
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: the one saying, no guardrails, no rules, no regulations, charge forward.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: And he was there yesterday in San Francisco. So I'm
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: saying this is not Donald Trump's ballywick. He knows about
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: as much about this as I do, as you do, Larry,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: as others do. He's on the periphery. J.D. Vance grew
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: up in Silicon Valley from being the hillbilly, remember? He
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: goes to Silicon Valley. He meets Peter Thiel, who bankrolls
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: all these guys. He works with Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: mentors him. He was introduced to all of them. So
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: he knows their eccentricities. He knows their language. So right
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: away he said, look, I'm telling you that there's a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: race here and they're so far ahead, they want everyone
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: to pump the brakes because they're so far ahead. But,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and I like what he said, and I think the
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: president would be wise at this point, to just delegate
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: him to deal with all of these different personalities. He
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: must have done that because he gave an interview to
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the New York Post, J.D. Vance, our vice president on
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Air Force Two, exclusively to the Post. You know he
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: had to clear that through the chief of staff at
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the White House with the permission of Trump, in which
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: he said, look, just as you said, I'm skeptical of
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: companies coming to us wanting the government to regulate them.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: No companies have ever said that before. But I understand
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: how Americans view this as possibly the movie, the Terminator,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: you know, where, oh, we're going to get wiped out
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: by these AI robots. He said, I can assure you
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: that part is not going to happen. But what I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: do want to address with all of these individuals is
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: how this will foster greater economic inequality. That's something the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Democrats would say. That's not a Republican ethos. That sort
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: of goes back to hillbilly allergy. And also, I am concerned,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: as Americans are, of surveillance technology, which brings that whole
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: flock camera issue and surveillance into it. So I think
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: he's better balanced. He also said, look, these companies want
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to shield themselves from antitrust laws, which were brought together
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: by Theodore Roosevelt to break the monopolies.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: They want a monopoly. It's clear they want a monopoly.
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: So I say, you know, Mr. President, you got to
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: meet with Xi. That's a big thing on your plate.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: And then you got to go on the road for
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: all these candidates. You're not going to have a lot
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of time to deal with this. Delegate it to him.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: He wasn't a good negotiator in Pakistan with Iran. Foreign
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: relations is not his expertise. That should have been Marco Rubio.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Have you met Donald Trump? Have I met him?
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: He's not going to say, you go ahead and handle
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the campaigning. It's just not going to happen.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Not the campaigning, but meeting with the CEOs. Oh, I
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: thought you were saying going out and go. No, Trump
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: does that best.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: But he's going to be so involved in that because
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: he said there's upwards of 38 candidates who need him,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: both in the Senate races and the House races. And
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: as you pointed out earlier, before we even started the program,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of the Republicans on this issue of AI
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: and AI data filing centers are beginning to distance themselves
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: from the president of the United States because they feel
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: this might be one of the defining issues that cause
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: them to lose.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not just on this issue. They're now
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: also voted for the War Powers Act. Seven of them
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: crossed over to vote for the War Powers Act. I
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: think that what you're seeing right now, and it has
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with AI, And I don't think it
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: has anything to do with the Iran war. It has
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: to do with all of these Republicans in purple districts
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: where they're behind in the polls. And they have to
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: show that they're willing to stand up to Donald Trump.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: This is all about the political environment.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: It is not about any issue specifically.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Remember, there was a fundraiser last Thursday here in New York.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama was hosting it. He had Hakeem Jeffries, all
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: the prime Democrats, moderate Democrats. He said, if I was
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: running for reelection in 2028, my issue would be AI.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: So basically that's like marching orders from the guy who
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: is the titular head now because there is no head
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't need those orders from him.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Let me just tell you what Speaker Johnson said. Speaker
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Johnson said, I'm surprised to come to Capitol Hill, come
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: back to Capitol Hill, and hear all these Democrats now
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: talking about AI issues. They've talked more about AI in
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: the last week than they had in the last 10 years.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, they've decided, uh-oh, now we have
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: an issue. They keep switching issues week by week. I'm
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out what it's going to be next week.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Last week, it was Flock. The week before that, it
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: was the data centers. I'm hoping, I'm hoping they're all
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: over the place like this.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: But in reality, comparing Johnson to Barack Obama as somebody
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: who is the titular head of the Democrats because they
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: don't really have a leader of the party now. Nobody
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: listens to Schumer. Nobody listens to Hakeem Jeffries because they
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: know they're vulnerable to potentially lose their own races. He
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: speaks with authority to them.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Ride AI to victory.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: For the House Democrats, Johnson speaks with the most authority
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: because he tomorrow can say, hey, we're all going home today. So,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: you know, he does have an amazing amount of authority there.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: As would any Speaker of the House.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: You mean for the Republicans in the House, not the Democrats?
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Well, the entire House, because he sets the schedule. I mean,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: he has power over them as well. Yeah, he has
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: immense power. Hey, Dancing with the Stars started last night.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: I wanted to say those words to you to see
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: how you would react.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, and did I get served wolf tickets by our
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: own producer, Natalie? And including our FM sisters in solidarity
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: from Z100, Elvis Duran, Diamond, and Gandhi, all three of
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: them profess, we will get you on Dancing with the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Stars for the 35th season, which debuted last night. And
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: guess what? I wasn't even invited to try out. Well, Natalie,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to defend yourself up next, plus
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: a chance to to see Richard Marks next. Anyway, Alicia

• 47:38
  Speaker 1: more information. Marana Mai. What a bunch of kakarans, female Pinocchios. First,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: our own Natalie. Producer here since the very first gambling
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: was broadcasting at WOR.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, in 1922.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: And there I am on the I Heart Float. Gay
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Pride stole the parade with my dancing from beginning to end.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Everyone acknowledged that. Natalie then says, oh, I'm going to
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: get you on Dancing in the Stars. And then like
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: a roller derby match, the two other gals from Z100,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Elvis Duran, Gandhi, and Diamond said, no, no, no, no.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: We'll get you on.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. Well, let's look at last night's
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: debut of season number 35. No, Curtis, no attempt by
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: any of you to get me into that lineup. A
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: lineup I can't even pronounce the names of the people participating. Exactly.
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: I do apologize because I did find out about your
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: dancing ability at the Pride Parade this year, which was
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: in June. I will say that they started teasing the
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: contestants in April. So this season was already packed up.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: So we got to work on next season. Can I
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: promise getting you on? No, but I do promise I
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: am going to reach out and I'm going to try
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: to get somebody to consider auditioning.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: You should consider getting into politics because you sound like
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a politician.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: Because I've been working in talk radio my entire life.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm good at this.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: I've been working with a lot of politicians.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: You sold me wolf tickets.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: I know, I know. So, but I also want to say,
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Larry, but I am also preserving your marriage.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Because you would.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: Be doing the waltz, the foxtrot, the tango, the quick
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: step with probably some of the hottest women in the world.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: And I know, you know, Nancy being a wife, I
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: don't know, would she be able to handle that?
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's the worst excuse in the world.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Have you noticed on the entire Gay Pride, I did
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: not dance with any of the women or men, by
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: the way, on the floor.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: You're pretty close to some of the men out there.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: But no, you're right. It's something.
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: Those women are something.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: That's a problem. I only dance with Nancy. Oh, is
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: that right?
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: That is correct.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Even if you're on Dancing with the Stars?
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a problem. I hadn't thought of that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: That's my promise to Nancy. I will only dance with her.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a beautiful promise, actually.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: It's amazing as I'm looking at the cast here. I
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: can't believe they didn't pick you because I don't know
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: any of these people. I mean, Ezra Frech?
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Who's Ezra Frech?
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: Who's that? Jackson Olsen?
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: What?
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: Well, the guy who was kicked off last night, Connor Lovett,
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: he was from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be all like B-list cable stars.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: But I will tell you, I only saw a little
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: bit of it last night because it was from 8
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: to 10, crazy long. The guy from the Savannah Bananas,
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: you know, the baseball team?
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're great. He was awesome.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. They're great. They put on a great performance.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Not exactly an A-list star, though.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: He will be now. Watch his social media blow up.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Let's get to some talkbacks.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Well, first we're going to talk about opening acts because
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: we talk about Macklemore opening for Ed Sheeran.
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: Sometimes people do go see the opening act. I saw
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: Billy Joel at the Capitol Theater in Passaic.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I can't even remember who he.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Was opening for.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: We left.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: So sometimes it is the opening act that's appealing.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: But I agree with you.
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: I think the concert will go on.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with young upcoming stars, you're right. Many times they
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: become hotter than the main act. But Macklemore is kind
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: of on the way down. I mean, he had a
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: rise and he was big for a while.
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: Macklemore and these others for Palestine are such fakers.
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: Where have they been for years when this was going on?
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: And then from the safety of a stage at a concert, oh,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of support.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, great, fly over there, do concerts over there.
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: Sit there with him.
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: They've never been there.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: They've never supported him.
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: It's a way to make his name big.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: That's all it is, a publicity stunt.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Now we're talking about Macklemore.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: No one was before. Well, number one, you can't fly
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: over there and do a concert. You have to go
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: through Israel. Number two, they've been consistent with this. It's
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: just they never had the venue that they had with, obviously,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran leading the bill. Anyway, let's get the news
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: with Daria.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: Morning, guys.
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: Few clouds warmer and humid today. High 78 degrees. Don't
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: mean nothing when it comes to inflation. We're going to
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: have to see what the Fed says today. It is
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: expected to make an announcement that we haven't heard in
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: three years that it's going to raise interest rates.
• 52:24
  Speaker 15: President Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve for years
• 52:28
  Speaker 15: to lower interest rates. Now the president's appointment. Kevin Warsh
• 52:32
  Speaker 15: is at the helm of the Fed. He and his
• 52:34
  Speaker 15: team will have to make this pivotal decision today. And
• 52:37
  Speaker 15: the markets are anticipating an interest rate hike. That would
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: make borrowing more expensive, but it would hopefully put pressure
• 52:45
  Speaker 15: on many of those consumer prices.
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: ABC's Rebecca Jarvis. Police say a son may have led
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: them to his mother's killer. The man drove to Maria
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: Ines Granda's Brooklyn apartment after he hadn't heard from her
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: in a few days, and then he found her body inside.
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: He called police and stayed on the scene until they
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: got there, and Granda's husband, Mauricio, showed up. Granda's now
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: charged with murder. Well, it's still officially summer, feeling a
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: little more like fall, but the city's already looking for
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: some winter temp workers, and they're going to pay more
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: this year.
• 53:17
  Speaker 13: Mayor Mamdani and Sanitation Commissioner Gregory Anderson have launched a modernized,
• 53:21
  Speaker 13: streamlined process for emergency snow shovelers. There's early registration, a
• 53:25
  Speaker 13: paid December orientation, and a pay increase to $ 30 an hour.
• 53:30
  Speaker 13: That's up from just over $ 19. Last winter, more than
• 53:33
  Speaker 13: 7,800 New Yorkers stepped up amid bad weather and freezing temperatures.
• 53:38
  Speaker 13: Candidates need to be at least 18 years old and
• 53:40
  Speaker 13: legally authorized to work in the U.S. The first snow
• 53:43
  Speaker 13: shoveler registration event is September 19th at Taft High School
• 53:47
  Speaker 13: in the Bronx. Liz Warner, WOR News.
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: First, President Trump renamed Lake Ontario Lake America. That was
• 53:54
  Speaker 8: actually after he renamed the Gulf of Mexico Gulf of America. Well,
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: now the city council in Cleveland says it's going to
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: give part of Lake Erie a new moniker. It's voted
• 54:03
  Speaker 8: to call the area from the city's shoreline out to
• 54:06
  Speaker 8: two miles into the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Cleveland.
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: Members say they don't want to feel left out. Yankees
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: beat Minnesota. Mets fall to Baltimore. Next news, 9 o'clock,
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Daria, and congratulations to Manny Kazanis from Holmdel,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, who just won a pair of tickets to
• 54:25

• 54:33
  Speaker 2: win at 825. Well, it was a wild day at

• 54:43
  Speaker 2: had Papers introduced to Pete Hegseth and John Fetterman talks
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: about whether he's going to be a Republican. We're going
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: to have all that coming up next. And don't miss

• 55:36
  Speaker 2: you can listen on Hit Nation on the free iHeartRadio app.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: It's this Friday and Saturday night. Well, if you like
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: street fights, Congress was must-see TV yesterday. Oh, man, it
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: is so good when there's a congressional hearing, when there's
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: an election coming up, when a midterm election's coming up,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: because everyone is trying to have their viral moment.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: They're not getting anything done. There's really no oversight. It
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: is just about the act.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: It's about being the one that you hit when you're
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: scrolling down on YouTube or you're scrolling down on X
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: or it gets posted on Facebook. That's all this is.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: And so let's start with a couple of them. How
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: about one of our favorite people, of course, is Cory Booker, Spartacus,
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: who is so good at trying to get the cameras
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: to capture everything he says. And he was talking to
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: Kash Patel. And the chair is Senator Chuck Grassley, who is,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know how old, 92 at this point, 92.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: And I've never really seen him get that angry. But
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: Cory Booker was insufferable. He kept going after Patel, and
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: his time was way up, and he went after his
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: time because he said he was being interrupted. And Chuck
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: Grassley finally had to put him in his place. This
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous. What a mockery you are.
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: You are the biggest mockery in the United States Senate,
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: and you're sitting next to Schiff.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, 8 million people in New Jersey don't think so.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: At least I didn't get my job the way you
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: got your job.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Are you going to interfere with Senator Graham asking her questions, too?
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: I certainly will not.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Too, as well? I certainly will not. Are you done now?
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I am done. Are you ready to shut up? Thank God.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You know, Cory Booker with his eyeballs bugging out of
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: his skull. Man, what drug is Cory Booker on? He
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: is so sad.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: You know, and I like him.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: I've met him several times, and he's the most likable
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: guy in the world. But for some reason, when he
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: gets in front of a camera, he turns into a
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: little kid. I mean, he's just craving attention all of
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: the time. And he's going to run for president again.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: I can promise you he's going to run for president again.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: And he'll be out after the first primary. No, he's
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: not likable.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, he could have asked some really important
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: questions of the FBI chief with everything going on in
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the world. He didn't.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: He didn't.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: He just slammed the guy.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: What did we get out of it?
• 58:18
  Speaker 12: Nothing.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: And all of the hearings were like that yesterday. Every
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: single one of the hearings. One of the most fascinating things,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: and I'll get back to the hearings just because They're
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: fun to listen to. But one of the things that
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: happened yesterday, and it was completely unknown that this was
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: going to happen. Thomas Massey from Kentucky, you remember, he
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: lost his primary. After bragging, oh, I can take on
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. He'll come after me. But what will that mean?
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: 10 points? I'll still win by 10. Well, he lost
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: by 20 after Donald Trump went after him for going
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: off the reservation. So he kept this a secret because
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: he knows his time would have been killed. Speaker Johnson
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: would have made sure this never happened. He initiated impeachment
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: proceedings against Secretary of the War Pete Hegseth.
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: Well, frankly, I was concerned that Mike Johnson would end
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: Congress again, like shorten even our already truncated work period
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: if he found out I was doing this. So I
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: shared the idea with nobody.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: And when he got up there, they thought he was
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: going to talk about something else. And he introduced Articles
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. So now they have to
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: take it seriously. Now, Johnson can bury it. Johnson can
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: never have the hearings, but which the Senate did for
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, if you remember. And so not the Senate
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. I'm talking about the Senate did for
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden. So who was the secretary of state that
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: they did that for? Remember, they tried to impeach the
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: secretary of state and went to the anyway. It doesn't matter.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: He went they went to the Senate. So they're able
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: to bury it if they want to. So that was
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: part of the drama yesterday. Part of the drama also
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: happened in the hallways. Now, John Fetterman, the poor guy,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: he has been hounded ever since he's been more of
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: a Republican than a Democrat. And now they keep saying,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: which I've heard, I've heard this rumor from some pretty
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: darn good sources, have said that, well, you know what,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: after the midterms, he's going to become a Republican. If
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: the Republicans really need his vote, he's going to become
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: a Republican. So if I heard it, everybody in the
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: press in Washington heard it. They were following him down
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: the hallway, yelling him questions about him switching over to
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: be a Republican. And Fetterman finally turned when he got
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: to the elevators and said this.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to be a Republican. And why can't
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: you guys just wait till the midterms? You know, and
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: if I turn a Republican and then I'll be a liar,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: then like it's just like my name is not on
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: the ballot. Like chill and wait for the midterm here.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: I've always been a Democrat.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: And he always generally votes with the Democrats on most issues.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: What's interesting here is even though they always shadow him,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: they'll follow him. He'll always stop and address them, unlike
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: some of the others who are Republicans and Democrats who
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: just dismiss the press. He'll always answer their question at
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: some point. But what's your gut reaction? He sort of
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: opened the door a little bit. Let's wait until after
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: the midterm elections. I can't see him winning a Democratic primary,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: but I could see him possibly keeping his seat as
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: a Republican.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, I know that there's six people already saying
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: they're going to primary him. And some pretty big, big
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: names in Pennsylvania are talking about primarying him. And right
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: now in the polls, it does not look good. He
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: is more popular among Republicans in Pennsylvania than he is
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: among Democrats. So if he were to look at the
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: poll numbers and the poll numbers alone, switching to the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Republican Party personally would be a good move. But now
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: he pretty much stated, now he's going to be a liar,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: as he just said. Now he's pretty much stated, I'm
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: not going to be a Republican. I am a Democrat.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: I've always been a Democrat. So, you know, Joe Manchin
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: went through the same thing from West Virginia. If you remember,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: he went back and forth. He was a middle of
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: the road. There's nobody middle of the road anymore.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: John Fetterman is, and he's a dying breed. And so
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: he's getting frustrated, and rightfully so, because he, as you
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: pointed out, 87% of the time he votes for the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: Yep. 87% of the time.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Up next, the other big issue, in addition to artificial intelligence,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: the artificial intelligence data filing centers that might be coming
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: to a neighborhood near you are the flock cameras. And
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: New Jersey has done something. I'm not quite sure what
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: it amounts to, but our New Jersey expert, obviously, Larry Menti,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: is going to weigh on that. And also some surveillance
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: cameras in the parks of Wayne, New Jersey, that some
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: people are not at all happy with. Man, unbelievable how
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: all these issues have surfaced simultaneously.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: So flock cameras have taken a backseat to AI right now,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: but there is still some controversy across the country. And
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: there's a new bill being introduced in Trenton right now
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: that would ban private companies and individuals, by the way,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: from operating automated license plate.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: Readers in New Jersey.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Now, you might be hearing me say that and go, oh,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: what do you mean private companies? Yeah, private companies are
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: They can buy flock, too, and the police tap into
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: their flocks as well. So you have the ones that
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: the city puts up, but then you have private companies
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: that also can use flock to find out who's coming
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: on their properties and stuff like that. And now they
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: want to put a stop to that and restrict who
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: can and how they can use them. But also with
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: police departments, this bill would say that they can only
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: keep the information they get from Flock for two days.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: And here is the problem with this legislation, Curtis. Flock
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: keeps the information and they share it with police departments.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: So you would have to pass a national bill unless
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: somehow you can just say in New Jersey you can't access.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: That till past two days.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: But how are you going to– I mean if they
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: have a big case or a missing child, do you
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: not go after the license plates? Do you not see
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: where the person was? If you can save a life,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: if you can solve a crime. Again, I think that
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: we don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: that there has to be a middle ground. This bill
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: is nice, especially when it comes to the private companies.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: But again, everybody's searching for an answer, and it's not
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: easy to find.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it's all part of this wave of Americans being
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: opposed to this accelerated surveillance technology. Even the vice president yesterday, J.D. Vance,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: with his exclusive interview with the New York Post, mentioned that.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm well aware. I'm well aware. I'm concerned
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: about accelerated surveillance technology. I know a lot of Americans are,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: and that includes Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. But here's another case. Wayne,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, two parks. They put up surveillance cameras. You
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: would think, okay, people wouldn't get all that upset, making
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: sure nobody's... doing anything wrong in the park. Well, there's
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: opposition to that. What is this, Red China? Every move
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: that I make, every time I hit a tennis ball
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: on the tennis court, you know, I'm under the camera.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Or if I'm smooching in the corner with my girlfriend
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: or gumata, then all of a sudden that's brought to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: the forefront. So whereas before there probably wouldn't have been
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: much opposition, now there is to any kind of surveillance technology.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: There's a wave here now, this anger in America, and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: they're not doing a very good job of explaining it
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: to sort of try to negate that.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they try. They try. But there's this wave of ignorance,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: I believe. And we've seen this happen before where everybody
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: rallies for a cause. Everybody thinks that they're now in
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: the front of a cause and they don't stop to
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: think and they don't. And they keep saying, I mean,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: To your point, you just said maybe they're not getting
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: out in front of this. They keep saying how many
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: crimes are solved with Flock, how many missing people are
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: found every single week with Flock, and all of that
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: could go away. So you might have a murderer that
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: would normally be caught that now gets away and can
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: murder somebody else. You may now have somebody that stole
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: something from you that they get away with it now
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: because there wasn't flock. So you have to you really
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: have to think it out and go a little deeper
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: than your privacy is being invaded. And by the way,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: and I'll say this again, there is no constitutional protection
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: of privacy when you're outside. They're allowed to look at
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: your life.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: That's why they.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: Have license plates in the first place, just to identify
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: you and to be able to find out where you're going. So, look,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: I get the emotional reaction to this, but it is
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: going way overboard considering all of the problems have just
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: been some jilted police officers.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's Orwellian. And when you get Democrats and
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Republicans being upset about it, You better get out ahead
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: of this everywhere in advance of it becoming an issue
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: in a town hall meeting. Anyway, the talkback of the
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: morning and winner of the Curtis Lee and Larry Menti
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: in the morning T-shirt seemed to be worried about me
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: after confronting these two banditos stealing mail this morning out
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: of one.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: Of those blue mailboxes in my neighborhood.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: All I can say is we need more Curtis Lee
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: was on the street. Thank you, Curtis, so much. That
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: was very brave of you, but also be careful.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Well, look, my PSA was do not mail in the
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: blue mailbox. Because people are openly stealing mail. If you
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: want to be Santa Claus and lose your mail or
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: have stolen items from your mail, just go to your
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: blue mailbox. And remember, the Talkback of the Week will
