- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, as you know, in Dallas, they're having a midterm
- 0:04Speaker 1: convention for the Republicans, something that Donald Trump threw together,
- 0:08Speaker 1: a two-day event. And there was a few surprises there.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Donald Trump, of course, was the main speaker. But we'll
- 0:17Speaker 1: get the latest on everything that happened from John Decker,
- 0:20Speaker 1: WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host of the podcast,
- 0:24Speaker 1: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. That can
- 0:26Speaker 1: be found on the iHeartRadio app. John, you know, I
- 0:30Speaker 1: said there were a few surprises. I want to play
- 0:32Speaker 1: something for you that you know well about, but I
- 0:35Speaker 1: want to play it for everybody that's listening. This was
- 0:38Speaker 1: the biggest surprise.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Why am I.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Here talking to you today?
- 0:46Speaker 2: Because, well, I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm always going
- 0:51Speaker 2: to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the
- 0:54Speaker 2: extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Wow.
- 0:59Speaker 1: He was attacking a lot of Democrats at the end there.
- 1:04Speaker 1: There is a lot of speculation at this point he's
- 1:06Speaker 1: going to become a Republican or at least caucus with
- 1:10Speaker 1: the Republicans after the midterms. What do you think, John?
- 1:15Speaker 4: Well, what I think is that he has said that
- 1:17Speaker 4: he will not switch parties formally, even if there is
- 1:22Speaker 4: a switch in Congress in terms of who controls the Senate.
- 1:25Speaker 4: So he said that publicly. The speech that John Fetterman
- 1:30Speaker 4: delivered by video yesterday got a very muted reaction inside
- 1:35Speaker 4: the convention hall. And that was pretty interesting to me.
- 1:38Speaker 4: I think that John Fetterman is essentially a man without
- 1:42Speaker 4: a party. He is not someone who's welcome in the
- 1:45Speaker 4: Democratic Party. At least I saw the reaction from Republicans
- 1:51Speaker 4: in that convention hall. He's not someone who's necessarily welcome
- 1:54Speaker 4: other than his vote. in the republican party they he's
- 1:57Speaker 4: really an anomaly and i think that this is likely
- 2:00Speaker 4: his last term in the u.s senate.
- 2:02Speaker 1: It's really interesting you say that because the polls in
- 2:05Speaker 1: pennsylvania have him very low with democrats down in the
- 2:09Speaker 1: thirty some in the high twenty or but the polls
- 2:12Speaker 1: with republicans are pretty good for him in pennsylvania so
- 2:16Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter how he did they feel about
- 2:18Speaker 1: him in dallas or how some of the people that
- 2:21Speaker 1: went to that convention when it's gonna matter how the
- 2:24Speaker 1: voters in Pennsylvania feel about him. So if he were
- 2:27Speaker 1: to run, say, as a Republican, as of right now,
- 2:31Speaker 1: he could win.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen this play out before. Remember a guy
- 2:35Speaker 4: named Arlen Specter?
- 2:37Speaker 5: Oh, sure.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Arlen Specter switched parties. Didn't work out well for him.
- 2:41Speaker 4: So look, I'm a person who knows Pennsylvania politics probably
- 2:46Speaker 4: better than anyone. I worked for the most beloved U.S.
- 2:50Speaker 4: senator ever from Pennsylvania, a guy named John Hines. and uh...
- 2:54Speaker 4: you know to me john federman is at some issues
- 2:57Speaker 4: politically uh... and you don't see it whether he can
- 3:00Speaker 4: work out those issues but as you point out uh...
- 3:03Speaker 4: his approval rating within his own party extremely low he
- 3:07Speaker 4: would likely i'd get a primary challenge and he would
- 3:10Speaker 4: likely lose in that primary and that's exactly what arlen
- 3:13Speaker 4: specter faced in his.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Own party uh... way back when.
- 3:17Speaker 4: He switched parties And it didn't work out well for
- 3:20Speaker 4: him ultimately. He was defeated at the polls, and I
- 3:23Speaker 4: think that's the same route that John Fetterman is facing
- 3:27Speaker 4: as he considers what his political future looks like.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Well, John, you were in the hole for the midterm
- 3:34Speaker 3: Republican convention and the theme speech given by the president.
- 3:39Speaker 3: The hook of it that came out is this $ 5, 000
- 3:41Speaker 3: promised dividend. Yeah. if you, I didn't quite get it,
- 3:48Speaker 3: you'll get this bribe if you keep the Republicans in
- 3:52Speaker 3: the House and the Senate in majority, because you can't
- 3:56Speaker 3: give a dividend. That's what you give when you have stocks.
- 3:58Speaker 3: So what the hell was the president talking about?
- 4:01Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this is actually, you may recall, Larry, I
- 4:06Speaker 4: actually proposed this idea to him back in July of
- 4:09Speaker 4: last year. I asked the president, would he consider with
- 4:12Speaker 4: all the tens and tens of billions of dollars in
- 4:15Speaker 4: tariff money coming into the U.S. Treasury, whether he would consider,
- 4:19Speaker 4: I called it a tariff rebate check. He calls it
- 4:21Speaker 4: a Trump dividend. But whatever you call it, that's what
- 4:24Speaker 4: the president said he's considering. There are two conditions associated
- 4:30Speaker 4: with it. Let me skip the word proviso. Two conditions. One,
- 4:34Speaker 4: Republicans have to control the House and the Senate after
- 4:37Speaker 4: the midterms. And the other is you have to spend
- 4:40Speaker 4: the money, the president says, on taxes. only American products.
- 4:44Speaker 4: This is going to be problematic. You need congressional approval
- 4:47Speaker 4: to spend something that would be in the order of
- 4:50Speaker 4: one trillion dollars. Yes, that's how much it would cost
- 4:53Speaker 4: the U.S. Treasury if you're going to apply what the
- 4:56Speaker 4: president pledged in reality to every American adult who is
- 5:02Speaker 4: in the country. One trillion dollars. Think about that number.
- 5:05Speaker 4: There are some Republicans, by the way, who were against
- 5:08Speaker 4: the idea that Trump rebate check, saying essentially we need
- 5:12Speaker 4: to pay down our debt before we consider giving money
- 5:14Speaker 4: back to the American taxpayer.
- 5:17Speaker 1: You know, you can usually tell the success of these things,
- 5:20Speaker 1: or maybe that's not the way to phrase it, the
- 5:23Speaker 1: mood in the country by who shows up and who
- 5:27Speaker 1: doesn't show up. Who didn't show up that did so
- 5:33Speaker 1: for good reasons?
- 5:35Speaker 4: Well, I think that you have some individuals who may
- 5:38Speaker 4: not have been welcome at this convention. And the first
- 5:41Speaker 4: person who comes to mind is John Thune. There were
- 5:44Speaker 4: some boos when the president mentioned the Senate majority leader
- 5:48Speaker 4: last night at the convention. He's not here for the
- 5:51Speaker 4: two-day convention. One person who is there, however, someone you're
- 5:55Speaker 4: familiar with, a guy named Mike Lawler. Mike Lawler has
- 5:58Speaker 4: essentially said, I don't care. I'm going to be with
- 6:01Speaker 4: the president. I want to be attached to the president.
- 6:03Speaker 4: I want to be attached to the president's policy. So
- 6:06Speaker 4: he's taking time away from a very, very competitive congressional
- 6:10Speaker 4: race to travel down to Dallas to make a speech
- 6:13Speaker 4: and to be there with the president during the course
- 6:16Speaker 4: of the two days this convention's going on.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Mike Lawler's looking for a job if he loses.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right.
- 6:24Speaker 4: You know, I mean, look, you know that race better
- 6:27Speaker 4: than I do. And, you know, when I was in
- 6:28Speaker 4: New York last week, I saw quite a few Mike
- 6:30Speaker 4: Waller campaign commercials. So maybe he's doing some fundraising down
- 6:35Speaker 4: here in Dallas, along with attending the president's speeches and
- 6:39Speaker 4: also delivering a speech of his own.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Now, John, I really have vertigo on this administration and
- 6:47Speaker 3: how they refer to Whatever you want to call this
- 6:50Speaker 3: thing on whatever given day it is with Iran. The
- 6:53Speaker 3: other day, J.D. Vance says it's not a war. Last night,
- 6:57Speaker 3: correct me because you were there. The president said gas
- 7:01Speaker 3: prices will come down when the war is over with Iran.
- 7:05Speaker 3: So what the hell is it? The president called it
- 7:08Speaker 3: a war last night.
- 7:09Speaker 6: J.D.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Vance, who speaks tonight, said it's not a war. They
- 7:12Speaker 3: can't even get on the same page about what this is.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Yeah, Curtis, you know, I guess someone, it only required
- 7:20Speaker 4: going through the speech and looking to make certain that
- 7:23Speaker 4: the word war was not contained in the president's remarks.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Could have simply X'd that out, deleted it, and changed
- 7:29Speaker 4: it to conflict, maybe. But yeah, the president did use
- 7:33Speaker 4: the word war last night, a week after the vice president, J.D.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Vann, said what the U.S.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Has been involved with as it relates to Iran since
- 7:42Speaker 4: late February, since February the 28th, is not a war.
- 7:46Speaker 4: But there is a blockade going on, and under international law,
- 7:52Speaker 4: a blockade is an action that is only taken during wartime. So, yeah,
- 8:00Speaker 4: I guess you have to get your stories double-checked and
- 8:04Speaker 4: make certain that those who speak on the administration, including
- 8:08Speaker 4: the vice president and the president, are essentially using the
- 8:12Speaker 4: same terminologies.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It's fascinating they picked Texas for this midterm convention. I
- 8:18Speaker 1: think that shows in part the importance of the Senate
- 8:22Speaker 1: race there, because if Telerico were to beat Paxton, I
- 8:26Speaker 1: think they'd lose the Senate, because it shows a mood
- 8:29Speaker 1: across the country. That's a seat they should never lose.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Did you get that feeling as well? Was it very
- 8:35Speaker 1: much about that Senate race?
- 8:38Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely. Ken Paxton was the first Senate candidate who's
- 8:42Speaker 4: in a competitive race to address the convention, and he's addressing,
- 8:47Speaker 4: when he did so, his fellow Texans. And I agree
- 8:50Speaker 4: with you. You know, it's pretty remarkable that some polls
- 8:54Speaker 4: show him trailing Tallarico in this head-to-head contest for November,
- 9:00Speaker 4: and that's pretty remarkable when you consider what a red
- 9:03Speaker 4: state Texas is. Now, Republicans have their own opportunity to
- 9:08Speaker 4: flip a Senate seat. That's in Michigan. So, you know,
- 9:11Speaker 4: you could actually see a situation where Texas is lost
- 9:16Speaker 4: by Republicans, but they gain a seat in Michigan to
- 9:20Speaker 4: offset the loss in Texas. We'll just have to wait
- 9:24Speaker 4: and see. Obviously, it's up to the voters. But Republicans
- 9:27Speaker 4: are increasingly feeling more and more confident about flipping the
- 9:31Speaker 4: Senate seat now held by a Democrat in the state
- 9:33Speaker 4: of Michigan.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Now, question, John Decker, the president once again said, I
- 9:40Speaker 3: am asking you to pretend that I am on the ballot.
- 9:44Speaker 3: I have never heard anybody ever mention pretend I'm on
- 9:50Speaker 3: the ballot in order to get you to vote. I
- 9:55Speaker 3: don't think that's a working strategy.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he's said it a few times. times over
- 10:00Speaker 4: the course of the past few weeks, said it last night,
- 10:02Speaker 4: of course, in his remarks, nearly two hours. That's how
- 10:06Speaker 4: long the president spoke. And that's what the president believes
- 10:09Speaker 4: is necessary to energize Republicans. Imagine he says that I'm
- 10:14Speaker 4: at the top of the ticket. He is not at
- 10:16Speaker 4: the top of the ticket. This is a midterm. And
- 10:19Speaker 4: Turnout for midterms is always considerably less than turnout in
- 10:24Speaker 4: general elections. And what Republicans fear is that the energy
- 10:28Speaker 4: level that they see on the Democratic side will not
- 10:31Speaker 4: be there on the Republican side. In all elections, Curtis,
- 10:35Speaker 4: you know this quite well, it's all about turnout, getting
- 10:38Speaker 4: your people to vote more than your opponents. And right now,
- 10:43Speaker 4: there's a fear on the Republican side that they, the Republicans,
- 10:46Speaker 4: will not be able to match the enthusiasm that Democrats
- 10:50Speaker 4: have for going to the polls, either early voting or
- 10:54Speaker 4: on November the 3rd.

- 11:06Speaker 1: trip to Texas, John.

- 12:38Speaker 1: Or visit them online at C-Crane.com. I don't know about you,
- 12:41Speaker 1: but every year I spend a few hundred bucks on
- 12:43Speaker 1: Girl Scout cookies. Because how do you turn down somebody
- 12:57Speaker 1: when you're in a mall and they have a stand?
- 12:58Speaker 1: How do you turn down your own granddaughter? How do
- 13:01Speaker 1: you turn down colleagues' kids that send out the emails
- 13:04Speaker 1: and say, hey, it's Girl Scout cookie time again?
- 13:07Speaker 3: You never watched that Larry David episode in his Beverly
- 13:11Speaker 3: Hills mansion when he slammed the door on him and
- 13:14Speaker 3: he was cursing them. Get out of, get off of
- 13:16Speaker 3: my property. I'm going to call the cops.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Well, that's what makes it so funny because nobody else
- 13:21Speaker 1: can do that. Nobody else can turn down the Girl Scouts.
- 13:24Speaker 3: The cookies are great. They are good. They are good.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I love the Samoas. Great's a strong word. Just unbelievable. And,
- 13:32Speaker 3: by the way, the best salesperson in the world, even
- 13:36Speaker 3: the Boy Scouts have pimped their ride and recruited the
- 13:40Speaker 3: Girl Scouts to join the Boy Scouts.
- 13:41Speaker 7: Oh, I know.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Specifically just to sell the cookies to raise money for
- 13:46Speaker 3: the Boy Scouts of America.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I try to find other ways out of the supermarket.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Why?
- 13:51Speaker 1: Because I know I'm going to end up buying. It's
- 13:55Speaker 1: some little girl. And the parents are smart. They stand back.
- 13:59Speaker 1: They stand back and just let.
- 14:00Speaker 3: The little girl. Why don't you want to buy?
- 14:02Speaker 1: Because I spend a lot of money on these cookies.
- 14:05Speaker 1: I can't eat them all. Send them to the troops.
- 14:07Speaker 3: I end up giving them away.
- 14:08Speaker 8: You can always send them to the troops.
- 14:11Speaker 3: I'm a good salesperson. I've done it for a lot
- 14:13Speaker 3: of years.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
- 14:15Speaker 4: I know.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Thank God I don't have to deal with you.
- 14:17Speaker 3: So did you do it as a Girl Scout? I
- 14:19Speaker 3: did it as a Girl Scout and as a mom
- 14:23Speaker 3: and as a troop leader. Send it to the troops.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Does that work?
- 14:28Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. All the time.
- 14:30Speaker 1: So do I just buy it and you send it
- 14:32Speaker 1: or do I have to send it myself?
- 14:33Speaker 6: No, no, no.
- 14:34Speaker 3: You don't have to send it yourself. We do all
- 14:35Speaker 3: the work.
- 14:35Speaker 5: All right.
- 14:36Speaker 4: All right.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Why do these young ladies become such proficient salespeople? Is
- 14:42Speaker 3: it because nobody wants to say no when they come
- 14:45Speaker 3: to your door? And it's a great product.
- 14:47Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if they're great salespeople. They just have
- 14:50Speaker 1: to show up to your door and say, do you
- 14:52Speaker 1: want to buy some Girl Scout cookies? How do you
- 14:54Speaker 1: say no? How do you say no?
- 14:55Speaker 3: They're selling a good product and they're adorable. And it
- 14:59Speaker 3: gives them confidence. It's a great idea. Now they have
- 15:01Speaker 3: an additional offering.
- 15:03Speaker 9: I know.
- 15:04Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with human beings.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Two additional offerings. You go first with the one the
- 15:09Speaker 1: dog wants.
- 15:10Speaker 3: To doggy cookies. And you know people, a lot of people,
- 15:13Speaker 3: some don't have children, but they have a dog. So
- 15:16Speaker 3: they'll say, oh, but we have now a cookie for
- 15:19Speaker 3: your dog.
- 15:21Speaker 9: Right.
- 15:21Speaker 3: That's what they're going to say. Exactly that.
- 15:23Speaker 10: I'm telling you.
- 15:24Speaker 3: The Girl Scouts are marketing geniuses. They do.
- 15:27Speaker 1: They make a lot of money. And the Boy Scouts,
- 15:29Speaker 1: the poor Boy Scouts keep trying and they can't come
- 15:31Speaker 1: up with anything. Cub Scouts, nothing. Nobody wants a blueberry
- 15:35Speaker 1: muffin flavored cookie developed by Bark, which is a New
- 15:40Speaker 1: York based seller of dog treats and toys. The cookies
- 15:44Speaker 1: dubbed Patch Pals will be sold online. Also joining the
- 15:50Speaker 1: Girl Scouts cookie lineup in January are Sparkables. The organization's
- 15:55Speaker 1: first allergy-friendly cookie. Oh, there goes that excuse, too. The
- 15:59Speaker 1: crunchy oatmeal cookie, which has chocolate chips and colored sprinkles,
- 16:04Speaker 1: was developed by New Jersey's Partake Foods. They're good for
- 16:10Speaker 1: egg allergies, milk allergies, peanut allergies, wheat allergies, tree nut allergies,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and sesame allergies. They have all the allergies covered.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Got it all covered for you.
- 16:20Speaker 1: No more excuses from anybody.
- 16:22Speaker 3: You have to come up with something else. Just buy
- 16:25Speaker 3: a box or two. Come on.
- 16:28Speaker 5: I buy 30.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Good for you. Without exaggerating, I buy about 30.
- 16:32Speaker 3: So you could buy a case. Yeah, you could buy
- 16:35Speaker 3: by the case. It's not any cheaper, though, by the case.
- 16:37Speaker 1: I do buy cases for my granddaughter. How do I
- 16:40Speaker 1: turn her down?
- 16:40Speaker 5: I know.
- 16:41Speaker 1: All right, let's get a couple talkbacks in.
- 16:43Speaker 11: I'm going to make a quick prediction, and that is
- 16:46Speaker 11: if gas prices remain high, I don't care if Trump
- 16:50Speaker 11: has given away a house. a Maserati, I don't care
- 16:54Speaker 11: what it is, because every time you go to that
- 16:56Speaker 11: gas station and fill up with gas prices where they
- 16:59Speaker 11: are right now, you're just going to be mad every
- 17:02Speaker 11: single day. And that is what people are going to
- 17:05Speaker 11: recognize every time they fill up.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. The only thing the Republicans
- 17:12Speaker 1: are going to have going for them is they have
- 17:13Speaker 1: a whole lot more money. And the Democrats have some
- 17:17Speaker 1: good candidates, but they have some real stinkers.
- 17:20Speaker 3: And so I.
- 17:22Speaker 1: They might have some problems just because of candidates, but
- 17:24Speaker 1: I agree with you. That has to come down.
- 17:28Speaker 12: Larry Maldoni's been sitting on this report until this week.
- 17:32Speaker 12: He waited all this time to say, hey, look, a
- 17:35Speaker 12: lot of people died, but more died in the aftermath.
- 17:37Speaker 12: You should be mad about that, not mad about the
- 17:39Speaker 12: people that actually attacked the building.
- 17:41Speaker 3: That's kind of what he's saying.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that.
- 17:45Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I mean, I want to not believe that. You're saying
- 17:49Speaker 1: he's covering for the people that hit the building. I
- 17:52Speaker 1: don't know about that. I mean, you're right. The timing
- 17:54Speaker 1: of it is political. I get that. It takes a
- 17:58Speaker 1: lot of the heat off of him that they didn't
- 18:00Speaker 1: want him to go. I get that, too. But he
- 18:03Speaker 1: did a good thing. I don't really care about any
- 18:05Speaker 1: of that.
- 18:06Speaker 3: And remember, everything is political. That's why I don't trust
- 18:09Speaker 3: any politicians. He had it for three months. They discovered
- 18:13Speaker 3: it three months ago. It obviously takes some time to
- 18:15Speaker 3: go through 170,000 reports, but the timing was very favorable
- 18:24Speaker 3: to Zoran, who was getting hammered about him going to 9-11.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Yeah, which makes it suspect, which makes it fodder. But
- 18:31Speaker 1: the information we needed.
- 18:33Speaker 3: No, absolutely. And he provided the portal.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And more than anything else, I don't care about all
- 18:38Speaker 1: the rest of this stuff. I just, I don't care.
- 18:41Speaker 1: This is so important. A lot of people that I
- 18:44Speaker 1: know have been waiting for this information. A lot of
- 18:46Speaker 1: people I know have been dying for this information. Now
- 18:49Speaker 1: let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News.

- 20:44Speaker 8: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Oh my God, we'll be talking to Joe Neumeier, our
- 20:51Speaker 3: movie guy up next, and this Kips Bay closing of
- 20:54Speaker 3: its theaters. has tremendous demonstrations taking place. I can't figure
- 20:59Speaker 3: this out. Maybe he can help us. But I will
- 21:02Speaker 3: rip from the headlines a story that is replicated all
- 21:06Speaker 3: over America and could victimize you or someone you know
- 21:11Speaker 3: or someone you love because of the availability of of
- 21:15Speaker 3: personal information that you think is sacred, sacrosanct, that should
- 21:19Speaker 3: not be available to everyone. Well, guess what? Welcome to
- 21:22Speaker 3: the new world where if you run a data bank
- 21:26Speaker 3: or a personal site page, You can basically make available
- 21:33Speaker 3: people's personal information for two bucks, and it's legal, and
- 21:37Speaker 3: they're doing it all the time. So in this particular case,
- 21:40Speaker 3: it was 2.40 in the morning. A woman sees a
- 21:43Speaker 3: flashlight and a shadow outside her window. Police say the
- 21:46Speaker 3: man in her backyard was a registered sex offender. He
- 21:50Speaker 3: had let himself into her bedroom with a sailor's key card,
- 21:55Speaker 3: and he watched her sleep. He's a freak. He never
- 21:59Speaker 3: met the woman in bed. He's sure on social media,
- 22:03Speaker 3: researched her, found all of her personal information for two bucks,
- 22:07Speaker 3: and it was legal to get. This could be happening
- 22:10Speaker 3: to you or someone you love or someone you know.
- 22:12Speaker 3: You need to spread the word because you've got to
- 22:14Speaker 3: build your own firewall like I have with Incogni. That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
- 22:19Speaker 3: It sends requests to more than 420 data brokers and
- 22:23Speaker 3: people's search sites on your behalf to eliminate that information,
- 22:27Speaker 3: and then they stay on them to make sure that
- 22:30Speaker 3: It remains off their sites. Incogni.com slash Curtis. If you

- 22:57Speaker 3: I don't know, my Joe Neumeier, a movie guy, I've
- 23:01Speaker 3: never seen this in my life in New York City.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Community rallies to save the Kips Bay Movie Theater, which
- 23:09Speaker 3: is right by Bellevue and NYU. It's 15 small chop
- 23:14Speaker 3: shop theaters, nothing special about it. It's not like a
- 23:17Speaker 3: landmark theater. What is this, Joe? I mean, some have
- 23:22Speaker 3: said they've never seen a bigger reaction to any local issues.
- 23:27Speaker 5: I support this 100%. I think this is one of
- 23:31Speaker 5: those things about living in New York that you sort
- 23:34Speaker 5: of forget about, like the livability aspect. I actually used
- 23:36Speaker 5: to live right near there. I went to that movie
- 23:38Speaker 5: theater a lot.
- 23:39Speaker 3: At Kips Bay.
- 23:39Speaker 5: I used to live on Lexington Avenue in like 28th Street. And,
- 23:43Speaker 5: you know, there's nothing really around there movie-wise that if
- 23:47Speaker 5: it shuts down, you know, you've got... If you want
- 23:50Speaker 5: to walk to Union Square, I mean, it's sort of
- 23:52Speaker 5: such a New York-y thing, right? But you can go
- 23:54Speaker 5: to Union Square, which is 20 blocks and two avenues away.
- 23:57Speaker 5: So pack a lunch and, you know, hope that your
- 24:00Speaker 5: movie is going to be longer than your commute to there.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Or 19th Street and Broadway or up to 42nd Street.
- 24:05Speaker 5: The folks who live in that community and that neighborhood
- 24:07Speaker 5: really are underserved by movie theaters, which, as we know,
- 24:11Speaker 5: people from, look at everything that's made money from Spider-Man
- 24:14Speaker 5: to The Odyssey, people want to go to movies and
- 24:17Speaker 5: people want to, you know, enjoy the community feel. And
- 24:20Speaker 5: for this theater to shut down, it leaves them with
- 24:22Speaker 5: sort of nothing. Going uptown is even worse. It's 30
- 24:25Speaker 5: blocks up to like 62nd Street. So I support this.
- 24:29Speaker 5: And the community there, a lot of the folks, I
- 24:32Speaker 5: guess Natalie and I were just talking, a lot of
- 24:33Speaker 5: the folks who go to the hospital there, if they've
- 24:36Speaker 5: got family members in there and they want a break,
- 24:38Speaker 5: they go to the movie theater to relax a little
- 24:40Speaker 5: bit as a chance to kind of get their head together.
- 24:43Speaker 5: What are they going to do, go to the CVS
- 24:45Speaker 5: now or a Chase ATM? I think this is a
- 24:47Speaker 5: horrible thing. It shuts at the end of the year.
- 24:50Speaker 5: I hope that the AMC company can somehow find it to,
- 24:54Speaker 5: you know, I'm sure the rent is extraordinary. I mean,
- 24:57Speaker 5: it's a huge real estate footprint, but I'm with the community.
- 25:01Speaker 5: Keep going on it. You know, fight back.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, we're coming up on the 25th anniversary of 9-11,
- 25:07Speaker 1: and I have two young boys that weren't born when
- 25:11Speaker 1: 9-11 happened.
- 25:11Speaker 7: They're 18 and 22.
- 25:12Speaker 1: They've learned a little bit about it in schools, but
- 25:18Speaker 1: I found, and I've talked to them about it, but
- 25:20Speaker 1: I found that one of the ways to really get
- 25:24Speaker 1: their attention and learn more about it is through movies.
- 25:28Speaker 1: And so recently, I'll tell you the one I showed
- 25:31Speaker 1: them first. You probably have a great list of movies
- 25:35Speaker 1: about this, but I showed them United 93. Yeah. And
- 25:40Speaker 1: I thought that was just a wonderful movie. By the way,
- 25:44Speaker 1: if you're going to watch that movie, I'm telling people
- 25:46Speaker 1: that are listening now, Don't watch Flight 93. There's a
- 25:49Speaker 1: movie out called that. Not that good. But United 93
- 25:53Speaker 1: is wonderful. Don't you agree?
- 25:56Speaker 5: I absolutely agree. In fact, I think it's one of
- 25:57Speaker 5: the best films about 9-11. That director, Paul Greengrass, by
- 26:00Speaker 5: the way, has a movie out this weekend called The Uprising.
- 26:02Speaker 5: But United 93 is the.
- 26:05Speaker 3: One to watch.
- 26:06Speaker 5: It is a tough watch.
- 26:07Speaker 3: It's tough, but it helps.
- 26:09Speaker 5: The kids are folks who, you know, especially like you mentioned,
- 26:12Speaker 5: your kids weren't born at that time to really understand
- 26:15Speaker 5: the drama and the heroism that went on on that flight.
- 26:19Speaker 5: Another good one is World Trade Center. Also a tough
- 26:21Speaker 5: watch with Nicolas Cage as a firefighter who's trapped in
- 26:24Speaker 5: the rubble. It has a, you know, he's saved at
- 26:29Speaker 5: the end of that movie, but it is a. That's
- 26:32Speaker 5: also really dramatic. Oliver Stone directed it. There's also Extremely
- 26:35Speaker 5: Loud and Incredibly Close.
- 26:37Speaker 1: I saw this.
- 26:39Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't successful at the time. Tom Hanks is
- 26:42Speaker 5: a father who dies in the attacks, and his son,
- 26:46Speaker 5: who has some issues, is trying to reconnect with the
- 26:49Speaker 5: idea of him through these sort of treasure hunts that
- 26:52Speaker 5: they went on. That's also a really good movie for kids.
- 26:55Speaker 5: And then there's even one called, it's a musical called
- 26:59Speaker 5: Come From Away. And it was on Broadway. They made
- 27:03Speaker 5: a film of it on Apple TV. It's about the
- 27:07Speaker 5: town in Newfoundland that like 38 flights landed in, and
- 27:11Speaker 5: they kind of welcomed folks in the days after. That's
- 27:15Speaker 5: also a really good film to show kids to sort
- 27:17Speaker 5: of have the understanding. You kind of think it's not
- 27:19Speaker 5: about 9-11, but it is. And then one last one
- 27:23Speaker 5: that I want to throw out there, just because it's
- 27:25Speaker 5: also an early Adam Sandler performance doing a series, and
- 27:28Speaker 5: it's called Rain Over Me. And it's a really good
- 27:31Speaker 5: film where Sandler is a guy who lost his family
- 27:35Speaker 5: on 9-11 and he reconnects with a friend and he
- 27:37Speaker 5: has sort of just kind of fallen apart in the
- 27:39Speaker 5: years since. And he and his friend sort of kind
- 27:43Speaker 5: of get him back going into life. And it's a
- 27:46Speaker 5: dramatic performance from Adam Sandler, but it's really good. And
- 27:50Speaker 5: I would recommend that as well. And even for kids,
- 27:52Speaker 5: because it's not, it's an adult movie, but it also
- 27:56Speaker 5: works with the emotions of that.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Would you consider Zero Dark Thirty a 9-11 movie?
- 28:01Speaker 5: I mean, I wouldn't, to be honest. I know a
- 28:03Speaker 5: lot of people throw it in there. It's obviously about
- 28:05Speaker 5: the hunt for Bin Laden. I kind of think it
- 28:08Speaker 5: obviously uses that as the launching off point, but I wouldn't.
- 28:11Speaker 5: I think that's more sort of a CIA block apps,
- 28:14Speaker 5: you know, special forces thing.
- 28:15Speaker 1: But it's so good.
- 28:16Speaker 5: I wouldn't.
- 28:16Speaker 1: It's so good.
- 28:17Speaker 3: It is so good, though. Yes, it is so good.
- 28:19Speaker 5: I mean, so is the Hurt Locker in its own way, too, right?
- 28:22Speaker 5: In which one best picture. But, right, Zero Dark Thirty
- 28:25Speaker 5: is really good, but I don't know if it just
- 28:27Speaker 5: uses it as a launching off point. And especially for
- 28:32Speaker 5: kids or for folks who maybe want to have something
- 28:34Speaker 5: a little bit more kind of down to earth, a
- 28:35Speaker 5: little bit more kind of understanding the grasping the emotions
- 28:39Speaker 5: of that day.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:40Speaker 5: But the United 93.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Is the one that.
- 28:43Speaker 5: Still is so impactful, so impactful, and really immediate. You
- 28:48Speaker 5: really feel like you're on that plane.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Well, thanks a lot, Joe Neumeier. It's going to be
- 28:52Speaker 1: a tough week, but you're right. These movies will live
- 28:56Speaker 1: on and will explain 9-11 to a whole generation to come.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Thanks so much. That was wonderful.
- 29:02Speaker 3: You're welcome.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Well, Natalie Migliore's Beat on the Street is coming up next.
- 29:06Speaker 1: She's got kids returning to school one day. After the
- 29:09Speaker 1: 25th anniversary of 9-11, are there any solid lesson plans
- 29:15Speaker 1: to teach about that day? I know Curtis has been
- 29:18Speaker 1: all over this. We'll talk about it next. We'll find
- 29:22Speaker 1: out if it's being taught to these kids. The countdown
- 29:25Speaker 1: is on for the most talked about music festival on

- 30:03Speaker 9: Now, it's 710 WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 30:10Speaker 6: Natalie, we're one day away from the commemoration tomorrow, Friday,
- 30:15Speaker 6: and you've been doing great with your series on 9-11 memories.
- 30:20Speaker 3: What do you have in store for us today? Well,
- 30:22Speaker 3: really what.
- 30:23Speaker 14: We're focusing on today before I head down there tomorrow,
- 30:26Speaker 14: because every year I go down there for the coverage
- 30:29Speaker 14: and this is a momentous milestone year, 25 years. Really,
- 30:34Speaker 14: it comes as it'll come the day after New York
- 30:37Speaker 14: City kids go back to school. They're going back to
- 30:40Speaker 14: school today. And we're focusing on maybe some people who
- 30:43Speaker 14: don't have memories of this day because they weren't even here.
- 30:47Speaker 14: So as time goes on, the importance of Never forgetting
- 30:50Speaker 14: seems to strengthen for those directly impacted by the events
- 30:53Speaker 14: and even those just in the area at the time.
- 30:57Speaker 14: And the city council recently announced free field trips to
- 31:01Speaker 14: the 9-11 Memorial and Museum for.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Public School Students.
- 31:04Speaker 14: But the question has become whether or not kids are
- 31:07Speaker 14: learning about the day in the classroom. I had a
- 31:10Speaker 14: lengthy conversation with Aaliyah, who says her most impressionable lesson
- 31:16Speaker 14: did not come from the classroom.
- 31:19Speaker 7: I've heard a lot about 9-11. I personally wasn't alive
- 31:22Speaker 7: when it happened, but I remember reading a book about it.
- 31:25Speaker 7: It really changed my point of view. It changed how
- 31:27Speaker 7: I saw it, changed my empathy and how I understood it.
- 31:30Speaker 7: I think that it was really important reading it. It
- 31:32Speaker 7: was in sixth grade. It was such a monumental book
- 31:35Speaker 7: for me because it was stuff that I didn't know.
- 31:38Speaker 7: It was stuff that wasn't necessarily talked about, but the
- 31:41Speaker 7: book really went into depth about it. It talked about
- 31:44Speaker 7: the personal experiences of people that were in 9-11. And
- 31:47Speaker 7: I think it just really helped me. And I feel
- 31:48Speaker 7: like it would be able to help other New Yorkers
- 31:50Speaker 7: as well.
- 31:51Speaker 14: Yeah, Leah says it's not just reading about that day
- 31:54Speaker 14: in facts, but hearing personal stories that allowed her to
- 31:59Speaker 14: connect with what happened.
- 32:01Speaker 3: And when I asked if she feels people her age.
- 32:05Speaker 14: In their 20s truly understand what happened that day, She
- 32:09Speaker 14: says some of her peers could use to take a
- 32:12Speaker 14: deeper dive.
- 32:14Speaker 7: I think they do. I just don't think that they
- 32:16Speaker 7: take it serious enough. I think there are way too
- 32:19Speaker 7: many jokes made about it, considering how many people died
- 32:22Speaker 7: in such a tragedy, how many people have trauma about
- 32:24Speaker 7: it now, how many people are still reliving that moment.
- 32:28Speaker 7: I think that it's one of those situations where it
- 32:30Speaker 7: shouldn't be a joke because there are people still alive
- 32:33Speaker 7: that experienced 9-11.
- 32:34Speaker 14: Now, FDNY First Deputy Commissioner William Fiam died responding to
- 32:39Speaker 14: the attacks that day, but his son and grandson weigh
- 32:42Speaker 14: in on how this day in history differently makes its impact.
- 32:47Speaker 10: Informing, especially younger generations, I don't know, anything that happened
- 32:51Speaker 10: before us, it's like, yeah, we're taught about it, but
- 32:53Speaker 10: the emotional stamp isn't there. And I don't know if
- 32:55Speaker 10: anybody's at fault for that. And I don't know if
- 32:57Speaker 10: that necessarily needs to change because This is what happens
- 33:00Speaker 10: in the world, you know, and it's terrible to say that.
- 33:02Speaker 3: But tragedies happen.
- 33:04Speaker 10: And this is unique to us because it happened to us,
- 33:06Speaker 10: but tragedies happen all around the world and they're all
- 33:08Speaker 10: equally terrible.
- 33:09Speaker 15: You know, the other part, what inspiration are we taking? What,
- 33:12Speaker 15: you know, what is our North Star in.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Life, right?
- 33:15Speaker 15: And we saw a lot. We saw the actions of
- 33:17Speaker 15: those people that day. And then we saw the actions
- 33:19Speaker 15: of all the people that came to help and supported us.
- 33:21Speaker 3: And, you know, what are we doing?
- 33:23Speaker 15: And, you know, what is our focus? And so I
- 33:25Speaker 15: think I consider it a sacred obligation, you know, to
- 33:28Speaker 15: try to do my best to emulate that in whatever
- 33:30Speaker 15: small way that I'm given the opportunity to do.
- 33:33Speaker 14: Now, even though 40 states mandate 9-11 to be taught
- 33:36Speaker 14: in some form, there's no tight curriculum. There's no true
- 33:41Speaker 14: curriculum that needs to be followed. Simply put, from one
- 33:45Speaker 14: impacted directly there are so many resources to learn about
- 33:50Speaker 14: this day.
- 33:51Speaker 16: Listen we are 25 years post disaster with a lot
- 33:56Speaker 16: of people that clearly don't understand what occurred that day
- 34:00Speaker 16: educate and talk about it just like you and i
- 34:02Speaker 16: sitting here talking about it now i mean somebody needs
- 34:05Speaker 16: to get on google.
- 34:06Speaker 14: Simply Google it maybe rather than sitting there and not
- 34:10Speaker 14: knowing about it. But really that deeper dive, there is
- 34:13Speaker 14: no true curriculum in New York City public schools.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Today, as you pointed out, first day of registration, 885,000 students,
- 34:21Speaker 3: less than we've had before. Tomorrow is a mandatory school day.
- 34:25Speaker 3: There's no day off. You would think they would devote
- 34:28Speaker 3: the entire day to explanations on what had happened. As
- 34:32Speaker 3: you pointed out, none of these folks were alive. Many
- 34:35Speaker 3: of the teachers weren't alive at that time. And just
- 34:39Speaker 3: deal with the facts so that young people are at
- 34:42Speaker 3: least exposed to this. Many of them will not be
- 34:44Speaker 3: exposed to this at home. And I guarantee you, when
- 34:48Speaker 3: we return on Monday, because I'm going to be asking around,
- 34:51Speaker 3: it's probably not going to be discussed. It hasn't been
- 34:55Speaker 3: discussed in previous years. My own sons who have gone
- 34:57Speaker 3: to public schools have said, Oh, Daddy, they don't discuss
- 35:00Speaker 3: it because they say it will hurt people's feelings.
- 35:04Speaker 14: That's the reasoning behind it for some teachers or you
- 35:08Speaker 14: think schools as a whole?
- 35:10Speaker 3: Well, it starts at the top and it filters down.
- 35:15Speaker 3: So at the very top, we'll see if it's done
- 35:18Speaker 3: on Friday, not just here, but other school districts outside
- 35:21Speaker 3: of New York City. Thanks, Natalie.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow morning with
- 35:25Speaker 1: several reports from downtown at the 9-11 ceremony. Thank you, Natalie. Well,
- 35:33Speaker 1: FDNY unions are now responding to 9-11 toxic air records.
- 35:38Speaker 1: That's after the 8 o'clock news.
