Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh, she's back.
- 0:01Speaker 2: She's back.
- 0:02Speaker 1: Natalie is back in studio after doing rehab at home
- 0:07Speaker 1: but still working. With the power of technology that exists now,
- 0:12Speaker 1: you are able to zoom in for us from your home.
- 0:16Speaker 1: But meantime, what it's done is it's knocked out of
- 0:19Speaker 1: the box, the quiet storm, Chris.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Poor Chris.
- 0:23Speaker 1: On loan from Mark Simone, who was starting to come
- 0:25Speaker 1: out of his shell. The guy was completely quiet for
- 0:28Speaker 1: so long. He was slowly but surely climbing out of
- 0:32Speaker 1: that shell, actually expressing himself. And now, I guess, with
- 0:36Speaker 1: your reemergence, Natalie, we've sent him back into his shell.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I just didn't want him to talk
- 0:42Speaker 2: too much because, you know.
- 0:43Speaker 3: He didn't. I don't know what Curtis was talking about.
- 0:47Speaker 3: He went from no words to maybe 15 in his show.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I want to thank Chris, though. I really do.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Thank you. And thank all of you guys for putting
- 0:58Speaker 4: up with it. Crash, you guys, everybody in the newsroom.
- 1:02Speaker 4: I know it wasn't convenient for everybody.
- 1:04Speaker 2: But I appreciate it.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I saw you walking today.
- 1:08Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:09Speaker 3: What were the real McCoys? Remember the real McCoys grandpa
- 1:12Speaker 3: and the real McCoys? That's who you look like when
- 1:13Speaker 3: you're walking. It's still stiff, right?
- 1:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Does it hurt?
- 1:18Speaker 1: Not really.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Although I got to tell you, this was the most
- 1:20Speaker 4: walking I've done in three weeks. I feel like I've
- 1:22Speaker 4: got a muscle cramp in my thigh.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. You just came back with the new entrance.
- 1:30Speaker 3: You had to walk around. You got to walk an
- 1:32Speaker 3: extra like block and a half.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:35Speaker 2: But that's good.
- 1:36Speaker 4: I need the piece, my extra PT I'm getting in today.
- 1:38Speaker 2: So thank you, thank you.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Well, that's it. So from the time of your procedure
- 1:43Speaker 1: to the time that you've walked into the doors here
- 1:46Speaker 1: of iHeart710WOR, it's been how many days?
- 1:49Speaker 2: It's three weeks today.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Three weeks today. Now, do you realize, Natalie, my dad
- 1:55Speaker 1: had this procedure in the 60s.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Oh, I can only imagine.
- 1:58Speaker 1: He had a knee operation. He was on the ship.
- 2:01Speaker 1: A barrel came on loose on deck and crashed down
- 2:05Speaker 1: on his leg. And I remember having to escort him
- 2:09Speaker 1: back and forth to the Merchant Siemens Hospital on Bay
- 2:13Speaker 1: Street in Staten Island. He had to have surgeries. That
- 2:16Speaker 1: was back at a time when Mickey Mantle was well
- 2:18Speaker 1: known for having knee surgery. This is in the 60s. Well,
- 2:21Speaker 1: you go put an ace bandage on it. That was it.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And then you try to walk around. Boy, the progress
- 2:27Speaker 1: that's been made ever since. They didn't cut you, right?
- 2:31Speaker 4: No, I have two little dots. They went in arthroscopically.
- 2:35Speaker 4: So I have two, honestly, dots on my knee.
- 2:38Speaker 2: And that was it. It was unbelievable. You're out the
- 2:42Speaker 2: day of.
- 2:43Speaker 4: I'm weight-bearing the day of, walking out on my own. Yeah,
- 2:48Speaker 4: it was not comfortable for the first two weeks, honestly.
- 2:52Speaker 3: When you say it wasn't comfortable, did it hurt?
- 2:54Speaker 6: You know what?
- 2:55Speaker 4: People keep asking me that. You know how every time
- 2:57Speaker 4: you go to the doctor for something, what's the pain level?
- 2:59Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know, a one, a two. And
- 3:02Speaker 4: they look at me. I said, well, what's pain?
- 3:05Speaker 2: I said, is it stiff and achy?
- 3:07Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:07Speaker 2: I said, but that's not pain.
- 3:09Speaker 1: I don't.
- 3:09Speaker 8: Right.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Equate that to pain. I said, so no, I did
- 3:12Speaker 2: not have pain.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Right.
- 3:14Speaker 3: It was always just stiff, right? You couldn't fully extend.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Still can't, but I'm working on it. But yeah, pain
- 3:19Speaker 4: medication they gave me never took. I did the Advil
- 3:22Speaker 4: Tylenol thing for two days and then I was done
- 3:24Speaker 4: with that.
- 3:25Speaker 3: But Curtis, you're absolutely right. The, the fact that they've
- 3:28Speaker 3: come up, the advances in, in medical sciences are amazing.
- 3:32Speaker 3: I had a, I had a knee injury one time
- 3:34Speaker 3: that they thought was going, may have, may take surgery. And,
- 3:39Speaker 3: This guy, who was very well-known at the time, came
- 3:44Speaker 3: with a bunch of students that were following him, walked
- 3:46Speaker 3: up to me when I was sitting there, took out
- 3:49Speaker 3: a needle, shot it in my knee, and kept walking.
- 3:52Speaker 1: It was cortisone.
- 3:53Speaker 3: They gave me cortisone, and I was fine the next day.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. And just to– this was not a
- 3:59Speaker 2: knee replacement. This was a meniscus. I mean, much different,
- 4:03Speaker 2: much different recovery.
- 4:05Speaker 3: So– Remember I told you when you first had it,
- 4:08Speaker 3: I said, go get a shot of cortisone because I
- 4:10Speaker 3: think that solves everything but not everything.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Not everything. But your tolerance for pain. You see, different
- 4:16Speaker 1: people have different tolerances for pain. Like when the doctor prescribes,
- 4:21Speaker 1: let's say, a painkiller, a strong painkiller, Percocets. They like
- 4:26Speaker 1: to give people Percocets. Some people can't take enough Percocets.
- 4:30Speaker 1: because they just have no tolerance for pain or stiffness
- 4:34Speaker 1: or anything that really gives them anxiety. What would you
- 4:39Speaker 1: say your tolerance for pain is?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Oh, it's pretty high. Considering I was walking for a
- 4:44Speaker 2: year with this problem.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Well, that's the problem. I have a high tolerance for
- 4:49Speaker 3: pain too. The problem is you catch things too late.
- 4:52Speaker 9: Right.
- 4:53Speaker 3: And some serious things you might catch too late. Like
- 4:56Speaker 3: you might have a nagging pain in your stomach and
- 4:58Speaker 3: think it's nothing and some something you can deal with,
- 5:01Speaker 3: and then it turns into something serious. I've heard that
- 5:03Speaker 3: happen many, many times. So anytime you have the smallest pain,
- 5:08Speaker 3: you should get it checked.
- 5:09Speaker 1: You should. Yeah, but it is incredible because when I
- 5:13Speaker 1: think of all those boomers at the time in the
- 5:17Speaker 1: 60s who would end up with a serious knee injury
- 5:21Speaker 1: or a hip injury or a back injury or a
- 5:24Speaker 1: shoulder injury, and then you would never see them. They'd
- 5:27Speaker 1: be like sitting. You know, either in a wheelchair or
- 5:30Speaker 1: they'd be at home. They could barely get up. And
- 5:33Speaker 1: now through the modern medical miracles of whether it's surgery
- 5:38Speaker 1: or medication or lasers and even stem cells, which they
- 5:42Speaker 1: won't permit in this country, but you can go overseas
- 5:45Speaker 1: and get stem cells. It's just tremendous, the strides that
- 5:50Speaker 1: they've made. And it's even going to get better. Well,
- 5:52Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about AI, the data filing
- 5:54Speaker 1: centers later. It really now has become a national issue
- 5:57Speaker 1: for the midterms. The president is waiting on it. But
- 6:00Speaker 1: one of the positives clearly is in the field of medicine.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of the greatest examples of exactly what
- 6:06Speaker 3: you're talking about is sports. Remember, it used to be
- 6:10Speaker 3: if you had a knee injury, you were out for
- 6:12Speaker 3: the season. I mean, some of the knee injuries that
- 6:15Speaker 3: are easily fixed now, now people are back in a
- 6:17Speaker 3: week and a half. It has been incredible, especially with
- 6:24Speaker 3: that type of injury, especially with the one that you
- 6:26Speaker 3: went through. That was amazing.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And I don't know why you were convalescing if you
- 6:31Speaker 1: saw in the New York Post the article on how geezers,
- 6:35Speaker 1: as they call them, Our generation, geezers, right? Baby boomers
- 6:40Speaker 1: are dealing with pain in New York. They're going to
- 6:43Speaker 1: get reefer. They're going to get weed. They're smoking weed
- 6:47Speaker 1: in greater amounts than millennials or Gen Zers. And I
- 6:51Speaker 1: attribute this to the generation we grew up in in
- 6:55Speaker 1: the 60s where that was like crossing the Maginot Line.
- 6:59Speaker 1: You don't smoke marijuana. But now it's legal. And I
- 7:03Speaker 1: think the pent-up frustration of a generation in the 60s
- 7:06Speaker 1: that was told, no, no, no, no, don't smoke, no, no, no.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Now that they see that it's legal, they can't get
- 7:11Speaker 1: enough of it. I find that unbelievable that the number
- 7:15Speaker 1: of users is greater, 55 plus, than amongst millennials who
- 7:19Speaker 1: are younger and obviously Gen Zs who are younger. I
- 7:22Speaker 1: don't think it's them who are vaping at 12 noon
- 7:26Speaker 1: in Midtown here when the purple haze rolls in. But
- 7:29Speaker 1: apparently the stats, they have to keep stats, you know,
- 7:32Speaker 1: at these legal dispensaries where they sell marijuana.
- 7:36Speaker 3: It's 55 plus. You know, I have a hard time
- 7:39Speaker 3: believing that only because what I see with my own eyes.
- 7:42Speaker 3: I mean, when I'm walking around the streets of not
- 7:44Speaker 3: just New York, but any city that is now legalized marijuana.
- 7:49Speaker 3: Tell me if I'm not right about this. Everybody you
- 7:51Speaker 3: see smoking marijuana on the streets, they're younger. They're in
- 7:55Speaker 3: their 20s or 30s.
- 7:56Speaker 2: But I think they're not doing it in the streets.
- 7:58Speaker 2: They're doing it in their homes. I think it's a
- 8:01Speaker 2: different group.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Do you know anybody?
- 8:03Speaker 6: Yes.
- 8:03Speaker 3: You do know people that smoke pot at home?
- 8:06Speaker 7: Oh, God, yes.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Really?
- 8:07Speaker 3: I don't know a person. I don't know a single person. Yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 3: I do.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Well, maybe, Larry, they do it, but they know your opinion,
- 8:15Speaker 1: so they don't let you know.
- 8:16Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, maybe.
- 8:17Speaker 3: I don't care if they do. I really don't care
- 8:19Speaker 3: if they do. When I was younger, I tried it.
- 8:22Speaker 3: It's just that, you know, like I curled up in
- 8:24Speaker 3: the corner in a fetal position, so I knew it
- 8:26Speaker 3: wasn't for me. You know, that was not– it was
- 8:28Speaker 3: not going to work for me, but– But yeah, I
- 8:32Speaker 3: didn't care. I used to go to parties where they
- 8:33Speaker 3: were smoking. I got secondhand smoke and went and curled
- 8:37Speaker 3: up in the fetal position again because it had a
- 8:40Speaker 3: horrible effect on me.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Well, guess what? You're getting secondhand smoke in the streets
- 8:44Speaker 1: of New York City with a purple hand.
- 8:46Speaker 3: I've heard it. What is the one that smells like skunk?
- 8:49Speaker 3: There is one that smells like skunk. Have you smelled
- 8:53Speaker 3: it as you're walking around? Oh, my God.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Cheap.
- 8:56Speaker 3: They should outlaw just that.
- 8:58Speaker 1: It's cheap weed. It could be cheap, yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 4: Speaking of purple, I don't know if you guys have
- 9:02Speaker 4: heard this. Have you heard about the purple meanie? The
- 9:05Speaker 4: jellyfish that's hitting the Jersey Shore?
- 9:07Speaker 2: I have, yeah. That's stinging people?
- 9:09Speaker 3: I know, I know. And it's supposedly a vicious sting.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I saw a kid over the weekend.
- 9:17Speaker 4: come out of the water with his mom up to
- 9:19Speaker 4: the lifeguard station, you know, in tears, holding his hand.
- 9:23Speaker 4: He's like, and he wasn't talking. The mom's like, he
- 9:26Speaker 4: was stung.
- 9:27Speaker 2: He was stung.
- 9:28Speaker 4: And I really think this could have been it because he,
- 9:31Speaker 4: it didn't look like a regular jellyfish problem.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Over the weekend, you saw this?
- 9:38Speaker 1: I did.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I went to the beach.
- 9:39Speaker 3: You went to the beach? You didn't come into work, though.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 9:43Speaker 1: As part of your rehab, you went to the beach.
- 9:45Speaker 1: You know what?
- 9:46Speaker 4: The funny thing is, I did get cleared by the doctor.
- 9:49Speaker 4: So I went, and they told me, sand is going
- 9:53Speaker 4: to be tough. You make sure somebody's holding you. They're
- 9:56Speaker 4: absolutely right.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I was wondering.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Like a step a minute.
- 10:02Speaker 1: On the matter of the jellyfish, when I was a kid,
- 10:04Speaker 1: I went and spent a summer down in Miami Beach
- 10:06Speaker 1: with my uncle and aunt, Lou Chia and Jimmy Scavone.
- 10:12Speaker 1: And they had the lifeguards put out the jellyfish warnings.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Don't go into the surf jelly. Ah, what do you
- 10:17Speaker 1: mean jellyfish? I went in there. Boy, did I get stung. Afterwards,
- 10:22Speaker 1: whenever I saw a jellyfish wanting in the surf, I
- 10:26Speaker 1: wasn't going in. Man, does that hurt.
- 10:29Speaker 3: I don't mind the stinging one. What are the little
- 10:31Speaker 3: ones that make you itch?
- 10:33Speaker 4: Oh, the ones that are like little pieces that get
- 10:35Speaker 4: stuck in your hair?
- 10:37Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can't get it off you. You take
- 10:40Speaker 3: a shower, you're trying to get it off you. Whatever
- 10:43Speaker 3: that is, I hate them. I'd rather be stung than
- 10:46Speaker 3: deal with that.
- 10:47Speaker 1: What about you?
- 10:47Speaker 3: Go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us a talkback. You
- 10:50Speaker 3: could win a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the
- 10:52Speaker 3: morning t-shirt. That's going to be awarded every day to
- 10:54Speaker 3: our favorite talkback of the morning. While you're there, you
- 10:57Speaker 3: might as well just go ahead and set a preset
- 10:59Speaker 3: for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talkback of the
- 11:04Speaker 3: week takes on the Seacrane Radio for the listener who
- 11:06Speaker 3: demands better. Seacrane Radio's with legendary reception. When we come back,
- 11:13Speaker 3: I don't know if you've heard about it, but another
- 11:15Speaker 3: aging popular music star, Lionel Richie, had to be taken
- 11:19Speaker 3: to the ICU. We'll update his condition. Plus, you have
- 11:24Speaker 3: a chance to see, who do you have to see?
- 11:28Speaker 1: Air Supply.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Air Supply, yeah, at age 25. Now, as somebody who
- 11:33Speaker 3: spent a career reporting the news, I know how quickly
- 11:36Speaker 3: an ordinary moment can turn into an emergency. It just
- 11:39Speaker 3: happened out in California. Happened within the last 10 days.
- 11:43Speaker 3: A child was choking. They called the police. Luckily, the
- 11:47Speaker 3: police officers in this small California town had a life
- 11:51Speaker 3: vac in the patrol cart. They saved this child's life.
- 11:55Speaker 3: That child would not be living if it wasn't for
- 11:57Speaker 3: life vac. Choking is one of those moments that can
- 12:01Speaker 3: happen to anyone at any time. A child, a parent,
- 12:05Speaker 3: a grandparent. When it does, seconds matter. That's why I
- 12:09Speaker 3: want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is the first
- 12:11Speaker 3: and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device that can be used
- 12:17Speaker 3: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
- 12:22Speaker 3: without success. Think about how many people that has saved
- 12:28Speaker 3: worldwide LifeVac. How many situations where the first-line treatments didn't work,
- 12:34Speaker 3: like the Heimlich. We're talking about over 6,000 people worldwide.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Real people, real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having
- 12:44Speaker 3: the right tool nearby can make all the difference in
- 12:48Speaker 3: the world. So you need to go to LifeVac today

- 12:58Speaker 3: can be ready when it comes. Well, Lionel Richie is
- 13:02Speaker 3: certainly a performer that needs no introduction, right? Yeah, so
- 13:16Speaker 3: many hits, including All Night Long. He was one of
- 13:20Speaker 3: the key forces in bringing together all of those entertainers,
- 13:24Speaker 3: much loved in the music industry, and bringing together all
- 13:27Speaker 3: those performers. performers for We Are the World. And if
- 13:30Speaker 3: you saw the documentary, when somebody was getting out of line,
- 13:33Speaker 3: it was Lionel Richie that went over and talked to them. Well,
- 13:37Speaker 3: he's having trouble going all night long these days. He's
- 13:41Speaker 3: 77 years old. And this is first reported by TMZ.
- 13:45Speaker 3: He's had a couple incidents recently, one just on Sunday
- 13:51Speaker 3: night when he was performing in Minneapolis. And it was
- 13:54Speaker 3: during that song, All Night Long, that he had to
- 13:58Speaker 3: motion to people offstage to bring out a chair so
- 14:01Speaker 3: he could sit in a chair and finish the song. Now,
- 14:04Speaker 3: he went to the hospital and he was put in
- 14:06Speaker 3: the ICU immediately. They believe it's only dehydration this time.
- 14:12Speaker 3: But if you remember, this also happened in St. Louis
- 14:16Speaker 3: just a couple of weeks ago when he said to
- 14:20Speaker 3: the audience, hey, I'm a little dizzy right now. And
- 14:25Speaker 3: he took a break and he went to the hospital
- 14:27Speaker 3: back then. And there is a concern right now, which
- 14:30Speaker 3: is why he's released from the hospital, but there's a
- 14:34Speaker 3: concern by doctors that there might be something else going on.
- 14:38Speaker 3: So they're going to give him further tests. So I
- 14:42Speaker 3: will tell you what, this is just the latest in
- 14:46Speaker 3: a string of performers of that age, anywhere from you know,
- 14:52Speaker 3: 65 to 85 that are still performing and just can't
- 14:57Speaker 3: make it through a whole tour.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Well, you'd say to yourself, Rod Stewart, a whole bunch
- 15:02Speaker 1: of others, why even go out there, sell tickets only
- 15:08Speaker 1: to have to cancel at the last second, or maybe
- 15:11Speaker 1: in the midst of your performance have to bag out
- 15:14Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense. The previous engagement you
- 15:18Speaker 1: were talking about, remember I questioned, they said that a
- 15:21Speaker 1: member of Earth, Wind & Fire had gotten ill before
- 15:24Speaker 1: the start of the concert. They were the opening act
- 15:26Speaker 1: for Lionel Richie. I said, that doesn't make sense. Earth,
- 15:30Speaker 1: Wind & Fire? Okay, if one of the members isn't available,
- 15:33Speaker 1: the show must go on, right? Lionel Richie, obviously, there's
- 15:37Speaker 1: nobody to replace him. Right then and there, you began
- 15:40Speaker 1: to realize that was a full arena, 18,000 people. So
- 15:44Speaker 1: I just say, if you can't do it, don't push it.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I know the money's good.
- 15:49Speaker 3: It's really good. That's where they make their money because
- 15:53Speaker 3: they don't make as much money on the records. It's
- 15:55Speaker 3: the composers. Especially now. It's the people that write them.
- 15:58Speaker 3: It's kind of always been that way. The writers make
- 16:01Speaker 3: most of the money. It's their song, after all. So
- 16:05Speaker 3: the money is made on this, on touring, and we're
- 16:09Speaker 3: talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, so it's really
- 16:13Speaker 3: difficult to give up. Lionel Richie still sells out. I mean,
- 16:17Speaker 3: there's a lot of current performers that have had to
- 16:20Speaker 3: cancel their tours because they don't sell out. Guys like
- 16:22Speaker 3: Lionel Richie still sell out.
- 16:24Speaker 1: My suggestion to Lionel, please, one more facelift and your
- 16:28Speaker 1: face will snap like an old rubber band. Leave it alone.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Leave it alone, Lionel.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I thought you were going to tell him to rest.
- 16:34Speaker 3: That's interesting.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Wow.
- 16:36Speaker 3: All right, let's get some talkbacks.
- 16:39Speaker 9: I had to see your back and feeling better. It's
- 16:43Speaker 9: like you were a missing part of a family or
- 16:48Speaker 9: whatever because the other kid really didn't see anything. But
- 16:52Speaker 9: as far as the weed, yeah, my father's a baby boomer,
- 16:57Speaker 9: and I'm a millennial, and he smokes way more weed
- 17:00Speaker 9: than I do. I got to go to the dispensary
- 17:03Speaker 9: like once a week because of him.
- 17:05Speaker 3: He sounds like he's talking right now, doesn't he?
- 17:09Speaker 4: I love that he goes to the dispensary for his
- 17:12Speaker 4: dad to get the weed.
- 17:13Speaker 2: That's a nice son.
- 17:15Speaker 3: It is a nice son, although he takes his Vick.
- 17:18Speaker 3: He takes his cut. I'm 62 years old right now,
- 17:22Speaker 3: and I've smoked marijuana for the last 40 years.
- 17:25Speaker 9: No cigarettes.
- 17:26Speaker 5: It's marijuana.
- 17:28Speaker 3: And the stinky stuff you're smelling, we call it skunk weed.
- 17:33Speaker 9: Really good stuff.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Oh, well, now I'll know when I'm smelling skunk. At
- 17:41Speaker 3: least I know somebody's enjoying themselves.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I am telling you the baby boomers out there are
- 17:47Speaker 1: consuming more than the millennials and the Gen Zers. They
- 17:50Speaker 1: just don't do it as publicly as those young huckleberries do.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Well, now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 630 News. And, Daria,
- 17:59Speaker 3: I know you're bracing for it, but I promise you
- 18:02Speaker 3: I won't ask you. About it?
- 18:04Speaker 1: You know what? I'll just say this.
- 18:05Speaker 6: The generation that said don't trust anybody over the age
- 18:08Speaker 6: of 40, they're now saying don't trust anybody under the
- 18:11Speaker 6: age of 60.
- 18:13Speaker 3: That's a great point.
- 18:15Speaker 6: And you can fill in the blanks between there. So
- 18:17Speaker 6: there is heavy rain in the forecast today. Good day
- 18:19Speaker 6: to stay inside doing whatever it is you like to
- 18:22Speaker 6: do inside.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Or you can do that outside too, I guess.
- 18:24Speaker 6: City storm emergency plan is in effect. Take some extra
- 18:27Speaker 6: time on the commute this morning. If you live in
- 18:30Speaker 6: a flood-prone area... like a basement apartment, have a plan
- 18:33Speaker 6: to move to higher ground before the water rises. Emergency
- 18:36Speaker 6: work on the A, B, C, and D subway lines
- 18:39Speaker 6: is over and service is back to normal in time
- 18:42Speaker 6: for the morning commute, but the work yesterday to fix
- 18:44Speaker 6: those cracks under the tracks at 81st Street and Central
- 18:47Speaker 6: Park is just a temporary fix. The Supreme Court says
- 18:51Speaker 6: construction can continue on the White House ballroom.
- 18:54Speaker 10: The justices did not rule on whether the project is legal,
- 18:57Speaker 10: only that the preservation group that sued to stop it
- 19:00Speaker 10: has no standing to sue. So the bottom line, this
- 19:03Speaker 10: all but guarantees the ballroom will be substantially completed before
- 19:06Speaker 10: any final judgments, even though Justice John Roberts himself acknowledged
- 19:11Speaker 10: the project is likely unlawful.
- 19:13Speaker 6: That's ABC's Karen Hwan. Washington Chief Justice John Roberts joined
- 19:17Speaker 6: the court's three liberal justices in the 5-4 ruling. There
- 19:20Speaker 6: was a deadly standoff in Times Square.
- 19:23Speaker 5: A woman armed with two knives at 41st and 7th,
- 19:26Speaker 5: a little before 4.30 p.m. Monday.
- 19:29Speaker 8: The subject, armed with two knives, approached a man who
- 19:32Speaker 8: had just exited the subway and was standing with his
- 19:36Speaker 8: wife waiting to cross the street.
- 19:38Speaker 5: Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the attacker stabbed the 68-year-old
- 19:42Speaker 5: man in the abdomen.
- 19:43Speaker 1: He's stable.
- 19:45Speaker 5: She then stabbed a 32-year-old woman also in the abdomen.
- 19:48Speaker 5: She died. The woman confronted by cops.
- 19:51Speaker 8: She told the officers, quote, I'm not dropping anything. I
- 19:55Speaker 8: would rather kill both of you. She repeated, I will
- 19:59Speaker 8: kill you.
- 20:00Speaker 5: After that, officers shot and killed the woman. Andrew Whitman,
- 20:04Speaker 5: WOR News.
- 20:05Speaker 6: Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple today
- 20:07Speaker 6: in his final memo to the company. He praised employees, saying,
- 20:11Speaker 6: the truth is, whatever there is to say about my success,
- 20:14Speaker 6: I know it is all because of you. The Mets
- 20:17Speaker 6: won and the Yankees lost. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins
- 20:20Speaker 6: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 20:21Speaker 1: 17 hours of deliberation in the Lindsay Clancy trial. Jurors
- 20:28Speaker 1: went home yesterday at 4. They'll be back at 9
- 20:31Speaker 1: this morning. We'll discuss the deliberations up next. Let me
- 20:35Speaker 1: tell you, there's a nurse on Long Island, 33 years old.
- 20:41Speaker 1: She sold an old iPhone on Facebook Marketplace. It was
- 20:46Speaker 1: just one listing. That was it. It was over. Sale done.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, the guy who answered it,
- 20:51Speaker 1: who was a total stranger from New Jersey. Over the
- 20:55Speaker 1: next three years, he became obsessed. He collected her phone number,
- 21:00Speaker 1: all of her personal information, data about family and friends.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Then he found her parents' home address. Then he showed up. Threats, packages,
- 21:11Speaker 1: unwanted arrive, late night visits to the house, the complete catastrophe.
- 21:17Speaker 1: She did everything right, and she still couldn't get them
- 21:20Speaker 1: off her doorstoop.
- 21:21Speaker 10: Why?
- 21:22Speaker 1: Because we have data brokers and people search sites that
- 21:26Speaker 1: collect all of your information, bundle it up, and then
- 21:29Speaker 1: sell it to whoever's willing to pay for it. And
- 21:31Speaker 1: believe it or not, it's legal. So what you have
- 21:34Speaker 1: to do is build a firewall. And don't be selfish.
- 21:36Speaker 1: It shouldn't just be for yourself. This can affect family members,
- 21:40Speaker 1: especially older folks who are a little more naive about
- 21:43Speaker 1: these kind of things. I use Incogni and you should too.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Get a pen and a pen. You want to write
- 21:49Speaker 1: this down because it forces the data brokers and people
- 21:53Speaker 1: search sites to delete you and then keeps checking to
- 21:55Speaker 1: make sure that your information is no longer online. So
- 22:01Speaker 1: if you lock your doors every night, responsibly, right? And
- 22:05Speaker 1: you need to lock down your address and your personal information.
- 22:08Speaker 1: The way to do it, build that firewall with incogni.com
- 22:12Speaker 1: slash Curtis. You get 60% off now. Remember, go to
- 22:16Speaker 1: incogni.com slash Curtis. So Larry, 17 hours of deliberations by
- 22:25Speaker 1: the jury in the case of Lindsay Clancy, mother killing
- 22:30Speaker 1: her three kids. No notes, no sense of this tension
- 22:34Speaker 1: in the jury room, at least that we can tell.
- 22:37Speaker 1: But the jury went home yesterday at four o'clock. They'll
- 22:40Speaker 1: reassemble today at nine. But an interesting side issue that's
- 22:46Speaker 1: emerged was brought to our attention by our own Gen Z-er,
- 22:49Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore. And it's not coming from the people who
- 22:53Speaker 1: are outside professing support for Lindsay Clancy, mostly women wearing pink,
- 22:59Speaker 1: some men. But apparently, if you go online, and I
- 23:03Speaker 1: couldn't believe it when she told us yesterday, there's this
- 23:06Speaker 1: whole sort of subculture that's trying to blame this killing
- 23:11Speaker 1: on the husband, even though Lindsay Clancy herself has said,
- 23:14Speaker 1: I did it. I killed my three kids. And her
- 23:17Speaker 1: defense attorney has said, oh, yeah, my client has killed him.
- 23:21Speaker 1: But because of her psychological status, we believe she's guilty
- 23:27Speaker 1: by reason of insanity and needs to be committed. She
- 23:29Speaker 1: needs help. They got it so that they're claiming that
- 23:36Speaker 1: the husband was having an affair. He plotted this. He
- 23:40Speaker 1: drugged her. He made her crazy. He killed her kids.
- 23:44Speaker 1: And the defining reason they use for Patrick Clancy is
- 23:49Speaker 1: that within four months, he was already remarried. So they've
- 23:52Speaker 1: gone into their whole world. So the longer this deliberation
- 23:56Speaker 1: goes on, the crazier it gets out on the social
- 24:00Speaker 1: networking world.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Well, you heard me yesterday with Natalie, and I don't
- 24:04Speaker 3: want to speak for Natalie, and I don't want to
- 24:05Speaker 3: talk about her position that much because she's not here
- 24:08Speaker 3: to defend herself. But you're right. She is just one
- 24:13Speaker 3: of apparently thousands of people, women mostly, who want to say, no,
- 24:19Speaker 3: the guy did it. They don't want to believe that
- 24:22Speaker 3: a mother would do this. They don't want to believe
- 24:24Speaker 3: that a woman would do this. And for that reason,
- 24:27Speaker 3: even though we have GPS to prove that he was
- 24:31Speaker 3: not there at the time of the murder, even though
- 24:33Speaker 3: we have phone calls to prove that he was not
- 24:35Speaker 3: there at the time of the murder, even though we
- 24:37Speaker 3: have eyewitnesses to prove he was not there at the
- 24:40Speaker 3: time of the murder, they want so much to believe this.
- 24:46Speaker 3: that they will go online, that they'll argue that, no,
- 24:49Speaker 3: this is what had to happen. Now, look, I get it.
- 24:53Speaker 3: There are some bad things. The fact that he remarried
- 24:56Speaker 3: four months later, the fact that they had arguments all
- 24:59Speaker 3: the time, the marriage wasn't going well. She obviously had problems.
- 25:03Speaker 3: He was not as sympathetic to those problems as he
- 25:06Speaker 3: should be. He was a horrible witness. showing very little
- 25:10Speaker 3: emotion when he took the stand. So there was a
- 25:13Speaker 3: problem with that marriage. And that may have been why
- 25:17Speaker 3: she killed these children, to get at him and then
- 25:19Speaker 3: to try to kill herself to make him feel bad.
- 25:23Speaker 3: That's not a good reason to kill three children.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Kill yourself.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Just go ahead and kill yourself.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Well, the other strain of sympathy seems to come, as
- 25:32Speaker 1: you know, at the end of her killing all three
- 25:34Speaker 1: of her children and the last one trying to run
- 25:36Speaker 1: away from her. And she grabbed the child and strangled
- 25:40Speaker 1: the child is when she threw herself out the play
- 25:43Speaker 1: class window, the second floor, and now is a paraplegic
- 25:46Speaker 1: because she's in the wheelchair. So some people are saying, well, look, look,
- 25:50Speaker 1: she's a paraplegic for life. What are you going to do?
- 25:52Speaker 1: Keep her in a state prison, you know, for the
- 25:55Speaker 1: rest of her life. So I wonder if any of
- 25:59Speaker 1: these things that we've talked about are preying on the
- 26:01Speaker 1: minds of jurors, because, you know, as much as they've
- 26:03Speaker 1: been told by the judge, don't pay attention to what's
- 26:06Speaker 1: going on out there. newspapers, online, TV, especially online. You
- 26:12Speaker 1: know they're all online.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I do, and the way I believe what's going on,
- 26:18Speaker 3: and I really don't know. I have no idea. It's
- 26:20Speaker 3: just that I can't believe that after seeing all this
- 26:25Speaker 3: testimony that points to her as the killer, that did
- 26:30Speaker 3: it meticulously, that planned everything, that bought the material for
- 26:35Speaker 3: that went online looking up what she should do and
- 26:38Speaker 3: how she should do this. This wasn't just that day.
- 26:41Speaker 3: This wasn't just a psychotic moment for her. She was
- 26:46Speaker 3: planning this. And then all of a sudden later, oh yeah,
- 26:50Speaker 3: now I heard voices. My fear is that there's one
- 26:53Speaker 3: person in that jury room, one person just like we
- 26:58Speaker 3: hear about the Gen Zers that bought this.
- 27:01Speaker 1: I think, Larry, you won't get the life without parole.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I don't think you'll get that. I think it's closer
- 27:08Speaker 1: if you want to see that she does time the
- 27:11Speaker 1: manslaughter because there to prove that there's no premeditation, didn't
- 27:16Speaker 1: act with malice. You know, it's a much easier lane.
- 27:21Speaker 1: for jurors to take, and I think that's why the
- 27:23Speaker 1: judge threw that in at the last second when he
- 27:25Speaker 1: charged the jury.
- 27:26Speaker 3: But there's obvious premeditation, right? There's obvious premeditation.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I believe so, yes.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Yeah, so how do you ignore that? You would have
- 27:34Speaker 3: to now lie to say, I don't believe there was premeditation. No,
- 27:38Speaker 3: the jurors don't believe that. I know that they have
- 27:41Speaker 3: to agree on something, but wow, that would be a
- 27:44Speaker 3: greater injustice.
- 27:45Speaker 1: I think the hardest thing for a juror, whether male
- 27:48Speaker 1: or female... It's why would a mother do this unless
- 27:52Speaker 1: she was really psychiatrically impaired?
- 27:55Speaker 3: I think you're exactly right. I think you're exactly right. But,
- 27:59Speaker 3: you know, any murderer has something wrong with them. There's
- 28:02Speaker 3: not anybody that's going to take another person's life that
- 28:05Speaker 3: doesn't have something a little bit off. I get that
- 28:09Speaker 3: people look at a mother killing three children and say
- 28:12Speaker 3: that just can't happen in this world, that there has
- 28:15Speaker 3: to be something else wrong with her. I get that.
- 28:17Speaker 3: But she did it. She did it. And she planned
- 28:21Speaker 3: it and she carried it off. And as you stated
- 28:23Speaker 3: a second ago, she chased after one of the children.
- 28:26Speaker 3: And this was days of planning this. They have her
- 28:30Speaker 3: Internet records. This was days of planning this. Now, there's
- 28:33Speaker 3: something wrong with this world if this woman doesn't get
- 28:36Speaker 3: life in prison where she can sit and stew. And
- 28:39Speaker 3: as a talkback said yesterday, think about what she did.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Real quick, you know, our own Natalie Megalorius right now
- 28:46Speaker 1: getting opinions from people in the streets on this very issue.
- 28:49Speaker 1: She'll be with us at the end of the seven.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Good. Yeah, let's not ask her about her theory on it.
- 28:55Speaker 1: No, no. But apparently it's common with a lot of
- 28:59Speaker 1: Gen Zers, believe it or not.
- 29:01Speaker 3: I didn't believe.
- 29:02Speaker 1: It until I actually researched it.
- 29:04Speaker 3: But you know what I'm like. She may never get
- 29:06Speaker 3: to a soundbite. That would be a real problem. When
- 29:11Speaker 3: we come back, man, the flock cameras. We started talking
- 29:16Speaker 3: about this over a month ago, and it has grown
- 29:19Speaker 3: to one of the biggest issues in the country. More
- 29:23Speaker 3: communities are now banning it. We'll talk about it when
- 29:27Speaker 3: we come back. The iHeart Radio Music Festival, presented by
- 29:33Speaker 3: Capital One, is back, featuring live performances by Benson Boone,
- 29:37Speaker 3: the Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey.

- 29:44Speaker 3: and 19th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two nights,
- 29:47Speaker 3: one stage. While the world is listening on iHeartRadio, you
- 29:52Speaker 3: can be there. Three chances every weekday for you to

- 30:00Speaker 3: Next chance to text and win happens at 9 o'clock
- 30:03Speaker 3: this morning on 710WOR. Well, Curtis, this flock issue that
- 30:09Speaker 3: we've been talking about very early on in the issue
- 30:12Speaker 3: has blown up across the country. Dozens of cities and
- 30:17Speaker 3: towns have canceled. suspended or just rejected flock contracts. Communities
- 30:23Speaker 3: like Walton County in Florida now have gotten rid of
- 30:26Speaker 3: their contracts. Hoppington, Massachusetts, Oconee County in South Carolina. We've
- 30:33Speaker 3: been talking about Governor Abbott in Texas, but also Governor
- 30:39Speaker 3: Josh Shapiro has stated that the state police and the
- 30:42Speaker 3: Department of Transportation have Do not use flock cameras anymore
- 30:46Speaker 3: and bar them from any state property. Now, a lot
- 30:50Speaker 3: of other places across the country have said in Florida,
- 30:53Speaker 3: by the way, in Florida, they said you can't use
- 30:56Speaker 3: it on any of the state roads anymore.
- 30:58Speaker 1: So it is growing.
- 31:00Speaker 3: And the problem is, Curtis, it's not the flock system.
- 31:05Speaker 3: It's human beings. It is police officers all across the
- 31:09Speaker 3: country that get on there, sometimes in the middle of
- 31:12Speaker 3: the night, to track their ex-wife or an old girlfriend.
- 31:16Speaker 3: One guy that is in a small town in Texas
- 31:19Speaker 3: that's a police chief used to sneak in in the
- 31:22Speaker 3: middle of the night, and apparently he looked every single
- 31:25Speaker 3: night as to where she was. He looked at her
- 31:28Speaker 3: 10,000 times. 10,000 times. How is that even humanly possible?
- 31:35Speaker 1: Well, that's what Greg Abbott did. The governor of Texas
- 31:38Speaker 1: was talking about. So I know the CEO of Flock
- 31:42Speaker 1: has been more involved in trying to put up guardrails
- 31:47Speaker 1: than the CEO of the companies that are trying to
- 31:50Speaker 1: push an AI data filing center in your backyard. That's
- 31:53Speaker 1: for sure. But he's trying to run and put out fight.
- 31:57Speaker 1: There is anger out there. There is anger from citizens, period.
- 32:01Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, Republican, Democrat, Independent. This is angry anger.
- 32:06Speaker 1: at a system that never consults them, all of a
- 32:09Speaker 1: sudden they find out this is what this technology is
- 32:12Speaker 1: doing and they say, How come we weren't ever told?
- 32:14Speaker 1: How come we're finding out after the fact? That's why
- 32:18Speaker 1: the CEO of Flock, who's doing a good job, I
- 32:21Speaker 1: recognize it. He's humbling himself. He's not like the defenders
- 32:26Speaker 1: of the AI data filing centers, arrogant, belligerent. He's saying, no, no,
- 32:30Speaker 1: we're going to put guardrails in. We want partners. He's
- 32:34Speaker 1: using that language. We need partners to be able to
- 32:36Speaker 1: do this.
- 32:37Speaker 3: But think about him.
- 32:37Speaker 1: It's not his fault. It's not his fault. But I
- 32:40Speaker 1: think there's this angry wave in America. I sense everywhere.
- 32:46Speaker 1: People are just angry. And I think in many instances,
- 32:50Speaker 1: it's like Orwellian. They're wondering, why is all this information
- 32:54Speaker 1: being collected? What are people doing with it? And nobody
- 32:57Speaker 1: ever explains it to them until all of a sudden
- 33:00Speaker 1: their backs are to the wall.
- 33:01Speaker 3: There's a lot of information out there. People just form
- 33:05Speaker 3: an opinion and they stick with that opinion. And that's
- 33:07Speaker 3: one of the biggest problems. We were talking about the
- 33:09Speaker 3: guy in Texas. This is happening across the country. There
- 33:13Speaker 3: was a police chief in Georgia. And it turns out
- 33:15Speaker 3: it's a police chief in small towns a lot. that
- 33:18Speaker 3: was looking up his old girlfriend and would go and
- 33:21Speaker 3: like 50 times a night would look at where she's going.
- 33:24Speaker 3: And she spoke out yesterday.
- 33:26Speaker 9: I was angry.
- 33:27Speaker 1: I was disgusted.
- 33:28Speaker 10: I thought, it's like, there's no way this is possible.
- 33:32Speaker 10: Most of his searches were, you know, after work, middle
- 33:36Speaker 10: of the night, you know, midnight to the morning.
- 33:39Speaker 8: I know one of the days he looked me up
- 33:42Speaker 8: 29 different times in one day.
- 33:44Speaker 3: So Derek Langley is the CEO you're talking about.
- 33:47Speaker 1: You think that guy is obsessed at a police chief?
- 33:50Speaker 3: But he's not alone. It's the same story all across
- 33:54Speaker 3: the country. People go in the middle of the night
- 33:56Speaker 3: and use this to look up old girlfriends. And so
- 33:58Speaker 3: you feel bad for Derek Langley, the CEO of Flock, who, yeah,
- 34:03Speaker 3: he's come out and said, look, we're going to get
- 34:04Speaker 3: written permission from now on. We're only going to keep
- 34:08Speaker 3: the information for seven days because he's 90% of the
- 34:11Speaker 3: crimes can be solved in seven days. So he's doing everything,
- 34:15Speaker 3: but nobody's really listening to him now.
- 34:17Speaker 7: I value my privacy. My family values their privacy. My
- 34:20Speaker 7: employees value their privacy. But what we're talking about is
- 34:23Speaker 7: safety as well. And so I think when people talk
- 34:25Speaker 7: about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing
- 34:29Speaker 7: the wrong thing. What we have to prioritize as a
- 34:31Speaker 7: country is compromise. How do we have our safety and
- 34:34Speaker 7: how do we balance privacy?
- 34:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that ship has sailed. There is such
- 34:40Speaker 3: a movement in this country against flock. I know.
- 34:43Speaker 1: And this is going to impact midterm elections. People don't understand.
- 34:46Speaker 1: People come out when they're angry, not when they're happy.
- 34:49Speaker 1: You know, when they have full bellies and they're happy.
- 34:51Speaker 1: You know, I'll wait for the next. When people are angry,
- 34:55Speaker 1: no matter what it is.
- 34:56Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 34:56Speaker 1: They come out.
- 34:57Speaker 3: But it's a weird anger. It's a weird anger, not
- 34:59Speaker 3: based on anything. But, oh, I just learned something. Let
- 35:02Speaker 3: me get mad about it.
- 35:03Speaker 4: I just think I think one of you might have
- 35:05Speaker 4: spoken about this before. You know, CEOs always used to
- 35:09Speaker 4: be very methodical and look at all of the angles.
- 35:13Speaker 4: I just think with technology, it's fast, first, furious. Like,
- 35:17Speaker 4: you've got to move fast, fast, fast. And they're forgetting
- 35:19Speaker 4: about all these other parts that they used to do. Like,
- 35:22Speaker 4: let's look at the implications of what possibly could happen
- 35:25Speaker 4: if somebody wanted to do something bad with this.
- 35:27Speaker 2: They just want to get it out fast.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we have to remember, because we always say
- 35:33Speaker 3: negative things about Flock. It's been involved in solving one
- 35:36Speaker 3: million crimes.
- 35:37Speaker 9: Right.
- 35:38Speaker 2: But if they had taken one extra step beforehand.
- 35:42Speaker 3: How did they know? How did they know that there
- 35:43Speaker 3: was going to be a human being in the middle
- 35:45Speaker 3: of the night that was going to sneak in and
- 35:46Speaker 3: look at his girlfriend?
- 35:47Speaker 2: Because we all know people do bad stuff.
- 35:50Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. The CEO didn't see that coming.
- 35:54Speaker 3: And he's shocked at it. And that's why he's out
- 35:58Speaker 3: in front. He's going, don't blame me. But we found
- 36:02Speaker 3: seven missing kids this week. He feels like a hero.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Red states, blue states, it doesn't matter.
- 36:07Speaker 1: But up next, we're going to be talking with WOR
- 36:10Speaker 1: White House correspondent John Decker, the latest on the war
- 36:14Speaker 1: with Iran, also Trump's ballroom. United States Supreme Court gives
- 36:20Speaker 1: him the okay to continue. And also AI. Yep, the
- 36:25Speaker 1: president had to address the data filing centers. And boy,
- 36:29Speaker 1: he was.
- 36:31Speaker 1: He was rough on any of you who are out
- 36:34Speaker 1: there protesting it. All of that after the 7 o'clock news.
