Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Back.
- 0:01Speaker 2: That's right.
- 0:01Speaker 1: Back where I need to be with Larry Menti and
- 0:04Speaker 1: Natalie in the morning and all of you. I will
- 0:06Speaker 1: tell you one thing before we get into the story
- 0:09Speaker 1: that I've been attached to like an appendage here throughout
- 0:13Speaker 1: New York State, throughout the country, throughout the world, is
- 0:17Speaker 1: I was at the Atlantic Antics yesterday, Larry. And this
- 0:21Speaker 1: is the largest street fair in all of New York City. And,
- 0:24Speaker 1: you know, it was raining. So put a damper on
- 0:27Speaker 1: the Pulaski Day Parade, which I was at with Nancy,
- 0:29Speaker 1: who's all Polish, my oldest son, Anthony. The moment I
- 0:33Speaker 1: got over to Atlantic Avenue between the Barclays Center and
- 0:37Speaker 1: the East River, the place was packed. And I knew
- 0:42Speaker 1: that our show was doing well as I was walking
- 0:45Speaker 1: up and down, and a lot of millennials and baby
- 0:47Speaker 1: boomers were saying.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Hey, missed you with Larry on Friday.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Oh, how nice.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Now that's, I mean, that's a compliment, but also a
- 0:57Speaker 1: compliment to the fact that they're listening to WOR. And again,
- 1:00Speaker 1: I still got a series of the responses, you know,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and listening to WABC, it's all Israel all the time,
- 1:08Speaker 1: Israel First Radio. So that was a good focus group
- 1:12Speaker 1: in the rain, which was packed. Unfortunately, other festivals didn't
- 1:15Speaker 1: have anywhere near the attendance. So I picked the right
- 1:18Speaker 1: place to be as our focus group. And naturally, what
- 1:22Speaker 1: do you think I was getting feedback on also other
- 1:24Speaker 1: than the fact that they missed me on Friday so
- 1:27Speaker 1: they knew I was on with you, Larry, on 710WO?
- 1:31Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 1:31Speaker 2: What do you think? That's wonderful. I want to get
- 1:36Speaker 2: to something else if I can, and you know what
- 1:38Speaker 2: it is. But I don't think you know what I'm
- 1:40Speaker 2: going to say, and I'm upset with myself. Oh, wait
- 1:44Speaker 2: a second. You're upset with yourself, Larry.
- 1:47Speaker 4: I am.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I didn't know. I just had no idea. And I
- 1:51Speaker 2: want to apologize to you. I want to apologize to
- 1:54Speaker 2: you because many times I have accused you of defending
- 1:59Speaker 2: Zora Mamdani just last week.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Yes.
- 2:01Speaker 2: We got into a thing where I said, why won't
- 2:03Speaker 2: you criticize him? And so you kept trying to criticize
- 2:06Speaker 2: anybody else but him. And I said, what about Mamdani?
- 2:08Speaker 2: What about Mamdani? And you wouldn't know. You wouldn't say anything.
- 2:12Speaker 2: You wouldn't. You wouldn't give in to say something. And
- 2:17Speaker 2: now I understand. Now I get it. I understand that
- 2:20Speaker 2: you two have a relationship that many of us didn't
- 2:24Speaker 2: know about until it came out in the open over
- 2:26Speaker 2: the weekend when you were sitting with him, when you
- 2:29Speaker 2: were both getting your flu shots. And then he said, oh,
- 2:34Speaker 2: my God, my heart flutters. He said to you, I'll
- 2:39Speaker 2: hold your hand.
- 2:39Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:40Speaker 2: And you grabbed the hundo and you lit up and
- 2:42Speaker 2: then you turned to the nurse and what you said,
- 2:46Speaker 2: it's like out of a great movie. It's like at
- 2:47Speaker 2: a Titanic. Let me just play that part. I can
- 2:50Speaker 2: hold your hand.
- 2:52Speaker 1: What happens if I faint?
- 2:54Speaker 2: What happens if I faint? What happens if I faint? Listen, again,
- 3:01Speaker 2: I apologize. I just didn't know. You know, love is love.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And that's fine. It is fine with me. And I'm
- 3:08Speaker 2: sure it's fine with everybody else. And I'm glad you're
- 3:11Speaker 2: out in the open with it.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Well, why am I doing it?
- 3:13Speaker 2: I thought you shivered a little bit. I did. I
- 3:16Speaker 2: hadn't eaten anything. I don't know. It timed out. Listen,
- 3:21Speaker 2: you don't have to hide this anymore. We all know now.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It's fine. It really is fine. I support you a
- 3:28Speaker 2: thousand percent. I appreciate that. I support you a thousand
- 3:30Speaker 2: percent in this.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I appreciate that. But remember, this is the second time
- 3:34Speaker 1: I've joined the mayor. The first time was for Inner Circle.
- 3:38Speaker 1: They raised scholarship money for aspiring journalists. And people were
- 3:44Speaker 1: critical of me, Republicans, for playing Dr. Kliwa, giving him
- 3:51Speaker 1: a shot because he's allergic to cats because they were
- 3:54Speaker 1: adopting a cat. And I and Nancy would encourage people
- 3:57Speaker 1: to adopt unwanted cats. So they attacked me for that.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Then in this situation, I get attacked from Republicans because
- 4:05Speaker 1: they say, why would you be sitting there and holding
- 4:07Speaker 1: his hand and taking a flu vaccine? And immediately I say,
- 4:12Speaker 1: excuse me? Oh, what about our president, the leader of
- 4:17Speaker 1: our party, the commander in chief? Three times he's had
- 4:21Speaker 1: a love affair with John Mondami. Not like that one.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Close.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Because remember, every time, and maybe you can figure it out,
- 4:30Speaker 1: why you would always say, he's such a handsome man.
- 4:32Speaker 1: He's such a handsome man. He's such a handsome man.
- 4:35Speaker 1: So if the president can have a relationship with Zoran
- 4:38Speaker 1: Mandami for the good of the country, the good of
- 4:40Speaker 1: the city, and I'm doing PSAs with him, really, what's
- 4:45Speaker 1: wrong with that?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you, he does attack him a lot,
- 4:49Speaker 2: and he calls him a communist, and he attacks his policy,
- 4:51Speaker 2: and he's said publicly that he's ruining New York City.
- 4:55Speaker 2: You haven't done that. And again, listen, I just was
- 5:00Speaker 2: in the dark. And rightfully so. Your business is your business.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I don't need to know anything.
- 5:06Speaker 7: I think he's jealous.
- 5:07Speaker 2: But when I saw that moment, no, I feel good
- 5:11Speaker 2: for him.
- 5:12Speaker 8: I think your relationship with Curtis, you're feeling jealous now.
- 5:15Speaker 2: No, I'm hoping that he's going to stop talking about
- 5:18Speaker 2: consummating the relationship. That's what I'm hoping for. My relationship
- 5:23Speaker 2: is with you. You can't get out of this relationship. No,
- 5:27Speaker 2: there's someone else. There is someone else that I didn't
- 5:30Speaker 2: know about. And I think everybody here is so happy
- 5:34Speaker 2: for you.
- 5:34Speaker 1: What do you think? I'm cheating on you?
- 5:36Speaker 9: No, no, no.
- 5:36Speaker 2: I don't think we ever had anything. That was all
- 5:39Speaker 2: in your head.
- 5:40Speaker 1: But let me give you how this came about. Because
- 5:42Speaker 1: I don't talk to the mayor like the president does.
- 5:45Speaker 8: I want to know because we didn't know anything about this.
- 5:48Speaker 10: Right.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Nobody knew.
- 5:50Speaker 1: No.
- 5:51Speaker 11: Somebody said, did you see? I was like, no. I
- 5:54Speaker 11: was like, wait a minute. How did he not tell
- 5:55Speaker 11: us this was happening?
- 5:57Speaker 2: Well, again, it is just the the handholding or the
- 6:02Speaker 2: flu shot relationship, which what didn't he tell us about?
- 6:06Speaker 1: Well, actually, I was on with our partners, Elvis Duran, C-100,
- 6:10Speaker 1: and they were saying, oh, you're going to get a
- 6:12Speaker 1: flu shot next week with us.
- 6:13Speaker 2: I said, no, I got other plans. I stood them up.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you're loyal. Let me explain the origin of this. Again,
- 6:25Speaker 1: I don't have communication with the mayor, unlike the president.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Both of them have acknowledged they talk to one another.
- 6:30Speaker 1: They text one another. That's fine.
- 6:31Speaker 2: So you don't have his cell phone?
- 6:33Speaker 12: No.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Okay. His aide reached out to me and said, hey,
- 6:37Speaker 1: would you mind- We're doing the flu vaccine, and senior
- 6:42Speaker 1: citizens die at a rate of about 2,000.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I said, oh, you're calling me because I'm a senior citizen.
- 6:46Speaker 2: They said, well, yeah, kind of.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I said, okay, where's it happening? Then he gave me
- 6:52Speaker 1: the daytime and place board of Health Downtown Brooklyn. And
- 6:54Speaker 1: you know who I thought of? And you know I
- 6:57Speaker 1: talked about this a lot. I couldn't figure it out.
- 6:59Speaker 1: A colleague of ours, Ernie Anastas, remember?
- 7:01Speaker 13: Sure.
- 7:02Speaker 1: In better shape than both of us combined. 82 years old.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I used to see him go in and out of
- 7:07Speaker 1: WABC when I was there. I said, man, I only
- 7:09Speaker 1: wish I was that healthy when I'm 82. And he
- 7:12Speaker 1: looked a young 82. Remember how all of a sudden
- 7:14Speaker 1: he caught the flu, then pneumonia. Then he goes into
- 7:17Speaker 1: a hospital in Westchester. One day he's dead and he's
- 7:20Speaker 1: not alone. Unfortunately, it seems you get into that age
- 7:24Speaker 1: range about 80. The flu leads to pneumonia. And naturally,
- 7:27Speaker 1: you can't treat pneumonia at home.
- 7:29Speaker 2: You have to go to the hospital.
- 7:30Speaker 1: And sometimes you pick up things at the hospital you
- 7:32Speaker 1: normally wouldn't pick up. So I say, yeah, yeah, I'll
- 7:35Speaker 1: do it. I'll do it. And of course, naturally, hopefully,
- 7:40Speaker 1: there will be individuals out there who are senior citizens
- 7:43Speaker 1: who will look at that and say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 7:45Speaker 1: here's a tough guy, Curtis. He's taking it. A lot
- 7:47Speaker 1: of guys will not take the needle. Or if they
- 7:50Speaker 1: see a drop of blood, they faint. Some of the
- 7:52Speaker 1: toughest guys who've ever existed. So I did my part.
- 7:55Speaker 1: But naturally, I'm being lampooned. I'm being made fun of
- 7:59Speaker 1: by some. But others just say, well, this is great.
- 8:01Speaker 1: That's awful that they make fun of you. You're reaching out.
- 8:03Speaker 2: That's awful. They should just embrace your relationship.
- 8:05Speaker 1: They should. Like I am.
- 8:06Speaker 2: They should. I think it's wonderful. I really think it's wonderful.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I want to applaud you, Larry, for putting aside– your
- 8:14Speaker 1: political bias in this, because there is political bias involved
- 8:18Speaker 1: at everything and understanding it was for the good of
- 8:21Speaker 1: the city, the good of the state, the good of
- 8:23Speaker 1: the country and the good of our fellow senior citizens.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I think you qualify as a senior citizen now, right?
- 8:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Over 65, right? Yes. That's it.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Yep.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I'm there. But, but I, I, I think there's more
- 8:39Speaker 2: than that. And I, I, Look, I don't want to
- 8:42Speaker 2: belabor the point. I really don't want to belabor it because,
- 8:45Speaker 2: you know. Well, let's get some talk back from our.
- 8:47Speaker 2: You've been uncomfortable with it for a long time. Let
- 8:49Speaker 2: me just finish this. But I am, just know that
- 8:52Speaker 2: you have my support in this. I understand. In your relationship.
- 8:56Speaker 1: And I want you to know I'm not cheating on you.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I am not cheating on you, Larry, in any way, shape,
- 9:01Speaker 1: or form.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Please. Please. Go ahead.
- 9:06Speaker 1: We've never held hands. Oh, by the way, I forgot
- 9:08Speaker 1: to tell you the most important thing. We've got to
- 9:11Speaker 1: give the talk back, and we've got to wait until
- 9:13Speaker 1: Natalie comes in. She'll appreciate this.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Okay. Well, here she's back already. Go to the iHeartRadio
- 9:17Speaker 2: app and leave us a talk back. You could win
- 9:19Speaker 2: a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt,
- 9:22Speaker 2: which is going to be awarded every day to our
- 9:23Speaker 2: favorite talk back of the morning. And while you're on
- 9:26Speaker 2: the free iHeartRadio app, why don't you go ahead, if
- 9:29Speaker 2: you haven't done it already, and set a preset for 710WOR.
- 9:32Speaker 2: You'll be able to find this so much easier. And
- 9:35Speaker 2: don't forget the best talk back of the week. takes
- 9:38Speaker 2: home the Sea Crane Radio. Now, Natalie, you'll appreciate this.
- 9:41Speaker 2: My wife, Nancy, drove me all the way up to
- 9:44Speaker 2: Binghamton University to speak. That's why I couldn't be with
- 9:47Speaker 2: you Friday morning, Larry, and drove me all the way back.
- 9:50Speaker 2: And we had great conversations. Everything was going well. After
- 9:54Speaker 2: I got the shot with.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Zoran Mondami and we held hands, I come home and
- 9:58Speaker 1: she she's not saying anything. I know there's a problem.
- 10:03Speaker 1: She's not saying anything at all. She's stoic. I said,
- 10:06Speaker 1: what's the problem? She said, oh, you never hold my hand.
- 10:12Speaker 1: You never hold my hand. Now, to a degree, she's correct.
- 10:16Speaker 2: She's correct.
- 10:17Speaker 1: She's been with me through the whole campaign. No other
- 10:20Speaker 1: woman was with the other candidates, not even the mayor's wife.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Cuomo only had his daughters. I don't know if he's
- 10:26Speaker 1: with anybody now, but Nancy was always at my side
- 10:29Speaker 1: because you never held my hand.
- 10:31Speaker 2: So at the Pulaski Day Parade yesterday, what did I do?
- 10:34Speaker 2: I grabbed her.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Hand because she's all Polish all day. But that barely
- 10:40Speaker 1: made up. Can you imagine? She was the angriest at all.
- 10:42Speaker 2: You never hold my hand. I can see that. I
- 10:45Speaker 2: can understand the anger. But that in these type of
- 10:48Speaker 2: relationships you have, that happens a lot. That does happen
- 10:51Speaker 2: a lot.
- 10:51Speaker 8: I do have to say, though. You know, the video
- 10:54Speaker 8: came out. Everybody was talking about it. And I think
- 10:57Speaker 8: you really did do a good PSA because it sparked
- 11:00Speaker 8: conversation in my household about, oh, when are we going
- 11:02Speaker 8: to get our flu shot?
- 11:04Speaker 11: It wasn't even a thought.
- 11:06Speaker 2: That's not the conversation that sparks in our household.
- 11:10Speaker 11: No, it did. It really did.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Well, you see, it shows you when something is volatile,
- 11:19Speaker 1: either for or against or both at the same time.
- 11:22Speaker 1: people are going to pay attention one way or the other.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to pay attention to something. I swear
- 11:29Speaker 2: I did not cheat on you, Larry. We consummated our relationship.
- 11:33Speaker 2: You've got my blessing. Please, you are just fine. When
- 11:40Speaker 2: we come back, imagine not knowing who your father is
- 11:45Speaker 2: only to find out that he is a famous pop
- 11:49Speaker 2: rock musician. Wait till you hear this story, plus a
- 11:52Speaker 2: chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show starring
- 11:56Speaker 2: Chaz Palminteri at age 25. When he was a young boy,
- 12:00Speaker 2: Michael Gosling always knew that he was adopted, but didn't
- 12:04Speaker 2: know who his biological parents were. And it always nagged
- 12:08Speaker 2: at him. He had a wonderful life. He's the first
- 12:10Speaker 2: to tell you that his adopted parents were just wonderful
- 12:13Speaker 2: to him, but he just always wanted to know. So Finally,
- 12:17Speaker 2: in adulthood, he went to 23andMe, the DNA site that
- 12:23Speaker 2: shows you who you're related to. And he found an
- 12:26Speaker 2: adopted brother. And through the adopted brother, he found his father.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And then I finally said, are you Michael McDonald? And
- 12:35Speaker 2: he said, yeah, I'm afraid so. Yeah, that Michael McDonald.
- 12:40Speaker 1: I keep holding on, baby.
- 12:46Speaker 2: One of the greatest voices in pop and rock history,
- 12:50Speaker 2: Michael McDonald. And he has always been wondering about the
- 12:55Speaker 2: little boy he put up for adoption to.
- 12:57Speaker 10: I always carried that guilt with me. But just to
- 13:01Speaker 10: know that he was OK and that he had a
- 13:02Speaker 10: good life and a life certainly that I wouldn't probably
- 13:05Speaker 10: have been able to afford him at that time in
- 13:07Speaker 10: my life, you know, was was, you know, a great reward.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Now, the two of them are going to have a
- 13:14Speaker 2: relationship now. And the wonderful part about this, and it
- 13:17Speaker 2: makes you love Michael McDonald. Dude, you never heard a
- 13:19Speaker 2: bad thing about Michael McDonald in his whole life. And
- 13:23Speaker 2: this makes you love him even more.
- 13:24Speaker 10: You know, the real rock stars in this story for
- 13:27Speaker 10: us are his adopted parents, who, you know, really gave
- 13:31Speaker 10: Michael everything a child needs, you know, in terms of
- 13:34Speaker 10: love and security.
- 13:36Speaker 2: And so they had the child.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Both were underage, Michael McDonald and the woman he had
- 13:44Speaker 1: the child with. Apparently, they've stayed in contact all through
- 13:48Speaker 1: these years. They've contacted, obviously, the adoptive parents who were
- 13:54Speaker 1: the reason that the young man was able to sort
- 13:58Speaker 1: of have a good life. So it's a real happy
- 14:02Speaker 1: topping on every aspect of this story, which oftentimes you
- 14:05Speaker 1: don't hear. Especially when somebody discovers who their biological father
- 14:10Speaker 1: or mother were, sometimes it really goes south.
- 14:13Speaker 2: When he joined the Doobie Brothers, he completely changed that group.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Do you remember from what they did to what it
- 14:20Speaker 2: was with Michael McDonald? That voice, I've seen him a
- 14:24Speaker 2: couple of times in concert, and that voice I just love.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I've always admired him, always heard nice things about him,
- 14:30Speaker 2: but now I love him. I mean, what a good guy.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I remember he went from Steely Dan, they were no
- 14:34Speaker 1: longer going to tour. Then he was asked to join
- 14:37Speaker 1: the Doobie Brothers, and you are correct. He changed the
- 14:41Speaker 1: whole sound of the Doobie Brothers.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Here's some talkbacks.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Ready?
- 14:45Speaker 2: Ready.
- 14:47Speaker 14: Curtis and Mondani sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love,
- 14:55Speaker 14: then comes marriage, then comes little Curtis in a baby carriage.
- 15:01Speaker 1: I want to assure everybody out there, I have not.
- 15:03Speaker 1: cheating on larry we consummated our relationship this was a
- 15:07Speaker 1: fling to get a flu vaccine.
- 15:10Speaker 2: You have you have a hall pass forever an everyday
- 15:14Speaker 2: hall pass you go ahead find someone else because this
- 15:19Speaker 2: ain't gonna happen.
- 15:21Speaker 15: Oh my god don't you guys get it curtis is
- 15:25Speaker 15: just doing what he's supposed to do you keep your
- 15:29Speaker 15: friends close and your enemies closer That's godfather-esque.
- 15:35Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 15:36Speaker 2: I hate the godfather. So, wrong analogy. Yeah, and there
- 15:40Speaker 2: was more to it than that. I don't know. I mean,
- 15:43Speaker 2: there was absolutely love in the air. I mean, did
- 15:49Speaker 2: you see the look on their faces? Did you hear
- 15:51Speaker 2: when Curtis said, I might faint?
- 15:55Speaker 1: I can hold your hand.
- 15:58Speaker 2: What happens if I faint?
- 16:00Speaker 1: Oh my, what happens if I faint? Possibility, I've seen
- 16:03Speaker 1: many a tough guy faint.
- 16:05Speaker 2: When someone holds their hand? Taking a needle, taking the
- 16:07Speaker 2: needle or seeing blood. Because it happened right after he
- 16:10Speaker 2: held your hand. You turned and said, what happens if
- 16:13Speaker 2: I faint? What was I supposed to say, no? Can
- 16:14Speaker 2: you imagine? No, I'm not going to hold your hand.
- 16:18Speaker 2: I would have easily said it. I bet you would have.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I would have said, oh, no, no, no, thanks anyway.
- 16:22Speaker 2: I think I'll be okay. Let's get the news at
- 16:25Speaker 2: 630 with Daria Albinger.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Daria.
- 16:27Speaker 16: Morning, guys. Sunny today. High 69 degrees. It's the first
- 16:32Speaker 16: Monday in October, and that means the Supreme Court is
- 16:35Speaker 16: back to work.
- 16:36Speaker 17: From gun control to climate change to voting rights, this
- 16:38Speaker 17: is another term filled with high-profile cases. Among them, a
- 16:41Speaker 17: question of whether the Second Amendment guarantees the right to

- 17:04Speaker 17: might be persecuted if they are sent there. Sherry Preston,

- 17:21Speaker 16: thanking its counterterrorism team for the role that it played
- 17:24Speaker 16: in the arrest of two men from Louisiana who are
- 17:27Speaker 16: accused of raising money for Hamas.
- 17:29Speaker 9: Abdel Adami and his brother Omar Adami were arrested last
- 17:33Speaker 9: month for charges of providing material support to a foreign
- 17:36Speaker 9: terrorist organization. Court filings allege that a man in Gaza
- 17:40Speaker 9: who reportedly has ties to Hamas reached out to an
- 17:43Speaker 9: undercover NYPD officer on Snapchat to raise money. The man
- 17:48Speaker 9: directed the officer to the two brothers, saying they will
- 17:51Speaker 9: help get the money overseas. The two brothers are also
- 17:54Speaker 9: facing charges of wire fraud. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.

- 18:23Speaker 16: I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Overnight, the United States made a decision to remove the
- 18:29Speaker 1: 12 B-1 bombers from the RAF base in England because
- 18:34Speaker 1: of fear of terrorist attacks. We'll get into that and
- 18:38Speaker 1: so much more next.
- 18:39Speaker 2: We are learning so much more now about the co-pilot
- 18:44Speaker 2: and attempted hijacker and attempted murderer, Omani National Hamam El Hamami.
- 18:52Speaker 2: on flight, remember what happened on fly Dubai flight 1073,
- 18:56Speaker 2: where he attacked the co-pilot. Well, now we find out
- 19:00Speaker 2: that there were a million red flags about this guy.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Al-Omani had previously been barred from flying or removed from
- 19:09Speaker 2: his job as Oman's national airline due to security concerns
- 19:15Speaker 2: regarding his extremist Islamic views. Think about that. He was
- 19:20Speaker 2: too extreme for Oman. And now it's currently unclear, but
- 19:25Speaker 2: this is being investigated, if Oman shared these vetting concerns
- 19:29Speaker 2: with Fly Dubai before he was then hired by Fly Dubai.
- 19:34Speaker 2: But they should have known too. Israeli officials now have
- 19:39Speaker 2: stated that al-Hammami posted explicitly on social media about intentions
- 19:46Speaker 2: to kill Jews prior to the flight, which was carrying
- 19:53Speaker 2: mostly Jewish passengers, 170 Jewish passengers. So I don't know
- 20:00Speaker 2: how this guy could be a co-pilot, how he could
- 20:03Speaker 2: possibly get through any type of vetting process. And it's
- 20:08Speaker 2: unbelievably disturbing that Oman didn't at least share that information.
- 20:14Speaker 2: And if they did with the Dubai, with Fly Dubai,
- 20:18Speaker 2: why Fly Dubai, Curtis, decided just to ignore that?
- 20:22Speaker 1: Well, I think his flight to Dubai started after the
- 20:24Speaker 1: Abraham Accords, the softening, creating relationships between the UAE, Dubai,
- 20:30Speaker 1: and Israel. And it's a budget airline, so there are
- 20:35Speaker 1: a lot of flights. And I think probably what happened
- 20:38Speaker 1: is what happened. You need pilots, you grab pilots where
- 20:40Speaker 1: you can. You didn't do any kind of vetting whatsoever. Well,
- 20:44Speaker 1: we always find out these things in the aftermath of
- 20:46Speaker 1: when you rush to hire people.
- 20:48Speaker 2: In order to meet the requirements.
- 20:50Speaker 1: The other really disturbing part about this is not only
- 20:54Speaker 1: the co-pilot, his terrorist intentions that he was posting publicly,
- 20:59Speaker 1: you wouldn't even shake a female's hand.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I mean, right there, it's sort of like, wait, there's
- 21:03Speaker 2: something wrong here.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Number two, apparently the attendants, the stewards, There were no stewardesses,
- 21:14Speaker 1: no females, all males. Once the Israelis on board, the
- 21:17Speaker 1: plumber and the others detained the co-pilot, you know, held
- 21:21Speaker 1: him down.
- 21:22Speaker 2: They wanted him to let him go. Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Now, what do you mean let him go? He just
- 21:28Speaker 1: nearly killed. At that point, they didn't even know if
- 21:30Speaker 1: the Indian pilot would die. They wanted the Israelis on
- 21:37Speaker 1: board to release the co-pilot. who had just stabbed him
- 21:42Speaker 1: up and threatened to stab everybody else up. And if
- 21:44Speaker 1: the Israelis hadn't slammed him down and detained him, God
- 21:48Speaker 1: only knows how much more damage he would have done.
- 21:50Speaker 1: So I would want to go into their backgrounds also.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Was this an organized attempt instead of having like we
- 21:57Speaker 1: had in 9-11 where everyone just stormed the cockpit, took
- 22:00Speaker 1: it over, threatened everybody with straight edge razors, and then
- 22:04Speaker 1: piloted the plane into buildings or into the Pentagon and
- 22:07Speaker 1: eventually into western Pennsylvania because they were on their way
- 22:10Speaker 1: to They were on their way to Congress.
- 22:13Speaker 2: You say to yourself, how come that hasn't been explored? Yeah,
- 22:17Speaker 2: it's a great question, although the pilot seems okay now.
- 22:20Speaker 2: And the pilot did an interview. And, of course, because
- 22:23Speaker 2: it's election time in Israel, too, they don't do the
- 22:26Speaker 2: interviews with journalists. They do it with B.B.
- 22:29Speaker 15: Netanyahu.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Well, I don't mind this.
- 22:30Speaker 1: It's okay. It's okay.
- 22:33Speaker 2: So, Bibi Netanyahu interviewed Captain Smit Muchar. Tell me, I
- 22:38Speaker 2: wanted to ask you, how did it all begin? Can
- 22:40Speaker 2: you tell me how it began?
- 22:41Speaker 5: It was, it just was a normal flight and the
- 22:52Speaker 5: co-pilot offered, I mean, he demanded, not demanded, but he
- 22:56Speaker 5: wanted to pray, which a lot of locals, they do pray.
- 23:02Speaker 5: and which is not out of the ordinary.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Right, so as he's praying, he notices, the co-pilot notices,
- 23:11Speaker 2: the pilot notices that his co-pilot is starting to sweat
- 23:15Speaker 2: and acting strange.
- 23:16Speaker 5: While he was praying, out of respect, I was just
- 23:20Speaker 5: looking at the front and not at the back. And suddenly,
- 23:26Speaker 5: after I think I would say about four or five minutes,
- 23:30Speaker 5: there was... A big blow to the back.
- 23:33Speaker 10: Of my head.
- 23:34Speaker 2: He was trying to ignore him because it was getting
- 23:36Speaker 2: a little bit strange in the cockpit. And so this
- 23:39Speaker 2: guy is so lucky to be alive. For a while there,
- 23:42Speaker 2: they thought he was going to die.
- 23:43Speaker 5: I pushed against everything I gave, everything that I had,
- 23:48Speaker 5: and just went for the door and opened the door.
- 23:50Speaker 5: And thankfully, people were waiting to bounce back.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Yeah, they talk about the heroes that went into the cockpit.
- 23:58Speaker 2: The ultimate hero in all of this is that pilot,
- 24:03Speaker 2: is Smit Machar, the captain, who just took an axe
- 24:06Speaker 2: in the back of the neck. He was dying, and
- 24:10Speaker 2: he lunges at the door because he knew that if
- 24:14Speaker 2: he didn't keep that door open, it was going to
- 24:16Speaker 2: lock and no one could get in. And if that
- 24:18Speaker 2: were to happen, then, of course, the hijacking would have
- 24:21Speaker 2: taken place and he would have crashed it. wherever he
- 24:24Speaker 2: wanted to crash it into. So he ultimately is the
- 24:27Speaker 2: person that saved lives.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Oh, without a doubt. But notice, the crazies have emerged. Oh,
- 24:32Speaker 1: this was an Israeli false flag Mossad operation. What are
- 24:35Speaker 1: you talking about, false flag? Because Bibi was doing the
- 24:39Speaker 1: initial interview. That is specious. Now, meantime.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Let's take it up to the UK.
- 24:44Speaker 1: We had 12 B-1 bombers at that RAF Air Force
- 24:51Speaker 1: facility and they were outside. You know, they don't put
- 24:54Speaker 1: them inside. There's no hangar big enough. And even if
- 24:56Speaker 1: you had a hangar, you could still do damage to them. Remember,
- 25:00Speaker 1: they had arrested five Iranian nationals who were citizens of
- 25:06Speaker 1: the UK just last week. They picked up a sixth
- 25:09Speaker 1: one just 48 hours ago who appeared to be more
- 25:13Speaker 1: directly involved in some kind of a plot. As a result,
- 25:17Speaker 1: the United States has removed all 12 B-1 bombers, flown
- 25:20Speaker 1: them back to South Dakota. Within like 12 hours, they
- 25:24Speaker 1: made that decision. And I'm thinking, Larry... What would you
- 25:28Speaker 1: be most fearful of when you have such powerful technology exposed? Drones.
- 25:35Speaker 2: You know, it's easy for anybody to get drones nowadays.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Ukrainians have hit some of the most sophisticated bombers of
- 25:43Speaker 1: Russia in far off air bases. Wouldn't be difficult to
- 25:47Speaker 1: put together a drone and have it kamikaze and crash
- 25:51Speaker 1: into one of those planes. weapons of war. So I
- 25:54Speaker 1: think the United States did the right thing. Better safe
- 25:56Speaker 1: than sorry.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Yeah, they are saying the State Department is saying this
- 26:00Speaker 2: was in the works anyway, and it was related, but
- 26:03Speaker 2: not directly related. They said they're going to be moving
- 26:06Speaker 2: a lot of the B-1 bombers out of bases because
- 26:09Speaker 2: they have gotten intelligence about threats at bases all around
- 26:13Speaker 2: the world, including that one. And they were in the
- 26:15Speaker 2: process of trying to get them out. And then this
- 26:19Speaker 2: attack was uncovered. And that makes a lot of sense.
- 26:23Speaker 2: They now have intelligence that the Iranians are planning attacks
- 26:26Speaker 2: at places across the world. Look, it's a war. This
- 26:30Speaker 2: is what happens during war. Yeah, you're right. I'll tell
- 26:34Speaker 2: you what, the disgraced, maybe I shouldn't call him disgraced
- 26:38Speaker 2: because I don't want to get sued because I think
- 26:40Speaker 2: he's going to sue some people. Maybe the former, let's
- 26:43Speaker 2: put it that way, New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell,
- 26:47Speaker 2: he's not going quietly into the night. Did you notice
- 26:51Speaker 2: over the weekend, he was everywhere and he has a
- 26:54Speaker 2: story to tell. We'll share it with you next. I'll
- 26:57Speaker 2: tell you what, Curtis. Former Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell is
- 27:02Speaker 2: not going quietly into the night. I mean, they may
- 27:05Speaker 2: have gotten rid of him, but he's still around. I
- 27:09Speaker 2: will tell you that I was looking at New Jersey, Philadelphia,
- 27:13Speaker 2: New York TV, and he's everywhere now. He must have
- 27:18Speaker 2: done seven interviews since last week when he was finally
- 27:23Speaker 2: let go. He was forced to resign by the governor.
- 27:29Speaker 2: for alleged inappropriate behavior with women. And so he's saying
- 27:35Speaker 2: that the whole thing is a setup. And when you
- 27:38Speaker 2: listen to the interviews, because why else would he be
- 27:41Speaker 2: doing interviews, right? Why else would he be out there
- 27:43Speaker 2: saying all this? Of course, he wants to clear his name,
- 27:46Speaker 2: but he also wants to make certain that he gets
- 27:48Speaker 2: his side out because he is exploring a lawsuit. He
- 27:54Speaker 2: says he wants to clear his name. Now, let's deal
- 27:57Speaker 2: with the one big story, the one where he was
- 28:00Speaker 2: in a limo and he allegedly said to a young
- 28:04Speaker 2: girl that all young girls want these days a young sperm.
- 28:10Speaker 2: They don't want old sperm.
- 28:11Speaker 17: Investigators claim that you told a staffer and I'm not
- 28:15Speaker 17: gonna sugarcoat this you young women are looking for young sperm.
- 28:20Speaker 4: That's one of the big problems I have with the
- 28:22Speaker 4: lawyers that put this this nonsense together she was mentioned
- 28:25Speaker 4: 59 times throughout that report so clearly it's it's that
- 28:28Speaker 4: person's report and and and and and no one else
- 28:33Speaker 4: there's no.
- 28:33Speaker 2: Corroboration so three people in the same car.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Said it wasn't true why did the lawyers use that
- 28:38Speaker 4: for some reason people wanted me out.
- 28:40Speaker 2: If that's true And you have to find out if
- 28:42Speaker 2: that is true, what he just said. If that's true,
- 28:45Speaker 2: it sure does sound like a setup.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he resigned. He didn't have to resign. Could
- 28:51Speaker 1: have fought while remaining lieutenant governor. So the fact that
- 28:54Speaker 1: he resigned gives me credence to think that maybe some
- 28:59Speaker 1: of this is true. Because all of a sudden, as
- 29:02Speaker 1: you pointed out, he's putting up a stellar defense. And
- 29:06Speaker 1: it isn't a to stay in his job and defend
- 29:10Speaker 1: off the critics. But rather prepare for a lawsuit, which
- 29:13Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely correct. He's going to say my
- 29:16Speaker 1: complexion is my protection.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Oh, he said that. He said, I checked the three boxes. Oh, yeah.
- 29:21Speaker 2: I'm single, I'm male, and I'm black.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Well, the thing he's got going for him is I
- 29:27Speaker 1: thought originally he was married.
- 29:30Speaker 2: He's not.
- 29:30Speaker 1: He was single. He was, what, the chancellor of a university,
- 29:34Speaker 1: president of a university. So he's not like, quote, the
- 29:37Speaker 1: professional politician. And then... I thought for sure the NAACP
- 29:43Speaker 1: would mount a defense for him. I think that's starting
- 29:45Speaker 1: to take place. So let's see how this all plays out.
- 29:48Speaker 1: But he's not going quietly, as you mentioned, and I
- 29:51Speaker 1: think it's going to require some money to make him
- 29:53Speaker 1: to go away.
- 29:54Speaker 2: I think so, too. Now, I'll answer a couple of
- 29:56Speaker 2: the questions you had because I've seen several interviews with him.
- 30:00Speaker 2: He says that he resigned because he actually supports Mikey
- 30:04Speaker 2: Sherrill and her agenda, and he didn't want to get
- 30:06Speaker 2: in the way of that, and this would have caused
- 30:08Speaker 2: a huge stink. Well, then why are you doing six
- 30:10Speaker 2: interviews afterwards? But definitely he's suing because he keeps using
- 30:16Speaker 2: the same word over and over again, the same two words,
- 30:19Speaker 2: I should say, set up.
- 30:21Speaker 4: This was a set up from the beginning, from that
- 30:24Speaker 4: staffer one, because if you begin to look at it,
- 30:26Speaker 4: So the trooper, and there was actually someone who I've
- 30:29Speaker 4: never been in the car alone with the staffer in
- 30:31Speaker 4: New Jersey without the other person, they didn't mention that.
- 30:35Speaker 4: Three people said Dale didn't say that.
- 30:38Speaker 2: I'm going to hold out any kind of judgment because
- 30:41Speaker 2: this guy, as you mentioned, he was the black president
- 30:46Speaker 2: of Centenary University. He also was executive director of the
- 30:51Speaker 2: highly exclusive Rothman Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. At Fairleigh
- 30:56Speaker 2: Dickinson University. He also served in the government for a while.
- 31:00Speaker 2: He was the head of the New Jersey Department of
- 31:02Speaker 2: Community Affairs. So my feeling is he's been around for
- 31:07Speaker 2: a long time. He's been around young women for a long,
- 31:10Speaker 2: long time. And there was never any hint of impropriety.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Why now all of the sudden?
- 31:18Speaker 3: Wow.
- 31:19Speaker 1: That's you really making it seem like he was going
- 31:22Speaker 1: to be set up a lieutenant governor that most people
- 31:25Speaker 1: didn't even know. Well, let's face it. Most people don't
- 31:27Speaker 1: know who their lieutenant governors are. So again, let's see
- 31:31Speaker 1: how you say, let's see how all of this evidence
- 31:34Speaker 1: plays out. There'll be a freedom of information act request,
- 31:37Speaker 1: I'm sure by journalists. So everything he's saying that is
- 31:42Speaker 1: attributed to this one accuser, but I'm thinking there's more
- 31:45Speaker 1: than just one accuser.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Look, I'm just allowing the possibility that he's telling the truth.
- 31:51Speaker 2: I don't take sides on this because I have no
- 31:53Speaker 2: idea who's telling the truth. I have no idea if
- 31:55Speaker 2: they wanted him out. And I have no idea if
- 31:57Speaker 2: he did the things he said he was doing. But
- 32:01Speaker 2: I will say the report does seem awfully suspicious. If
- 32:05Speaker 2: they're just quoting the same person over and over and
- 32:09Speaker 2: over again, and they have several people that are saying, no,
- 32:12Speaker 2: that never happened, that never happened, that never happened. It
- 32:15Speaker 2: sounds to me like, listen, he was a distraction. He
- 32:19Speaker 2: was going to get in the way of the governor's agenda,
- 32:21Speaker 2: and they just wanted him out.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Yeah, but his rationale for resigning, oh, I didn't want
- 32:25Speaker 1: to interfere with the governor's agenda. I don't buy that
- 32:29Speaker 1: for a second. Especially if she's going to whack you. Oh, no,
- 32:33Speaker 1: but it's more important your agenda. Hell no, he's mad.
- 32:36Speaker 2: He is mad. He's definitely mad, and he's definitely looking
- 32:39Speaker 2: for some money, and maybe he wants her on his side.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Who knows? It's all kind of strange.
- 32:45Speaker 7: Wow.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Talk about another university. Cornell president speaks out about the
- 32:51Speaker 2: gang rape allegations. And so do women all across the
- 32:55Speaker 2: country calling themselves. I am Jane Doe. That's coming up
- 32:59Speaker 2: after this seven o'clock news.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you had never known where Cornell
- 33:04Speaker 1: University was up in Ithaca, New York, you certainly know now,
- 33:09Speaker 1: not just locally, not just statewide, not just across the nation,
- 33:13Speaker 1: but across the world. Because just as you had an
- 33:19Speaker 1: entire movement that started Me Too, now you have a
- 33:25Speaker 1: movement that has started as a result of this Cornell
- 33:28Speaker 1: investigation that is being done on behalf of Jane Doe.
- 33:35Speaker 1: There are people doxing as we speak, trying to find
- 33:39Speaker 1: out who this young lady is. And no doubt they're
- 33:42Speaker 1: going to put her name out there for public consumption.
- 33:45Speaker 1: on the many internet formats that exist. We've gotten further
- 33:49Speaker 1: information from the university after it was announced by Governor
- 33:54Speaker 1: Hochul that she is assigning, as a special counsel for
- 33:57Speaker 1: the investigation, the Attorney General Tish James to take over
- 34:03Speaker 1: for the local DA, that records show that campus police
- 34:08Speaker 1: had informed the DA that they had conducted additional interviews
- 34:12Speaker 1: with the suspects beyond taking a statement, and apparently he
- 34:17Speaker 1: declined to look into it or accept the information. And
- 34:21Speaker 1: we've learned more about how the assault took place. Apparently
- 34:25Speaker 1: the young lady told the authorities that she had been
- 34:27Speaker 1: placed in a closet. She was like bait for a
- 34:32Speaker 1: group of hungry lions, and she was continuously assaulted. We
- 34:37Speaker 1: also learned that as a result of the investigation, Two
- 34:41Speaker 1: of the students were expelled. Two were suspended for two
- 34:44Speaker 1: semesters and welcome back. One had graduated and two were
- 34:48Speaker 1: found not responsible. But Cornell is looking worse and worse
- 34:54Speaker 1: as time goes on. I know the chancellor had something
- 34:57Speaker 1: to say publicly over the weekend, Larry.
- 35:01Speaker 18: We must do everything we can to prevent what happened
- 35:05Speaker 18: to Jane Doe and everyone before her and anyone after her.
- 35:10Speaker 18: from ever happening again.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Curtis, he was awful. The president was awful in his statement.
- 35:17Speaker 2: I know he had all of these legal things he
- 35:20Speaker 2: needed to hit and stay away from, but he showed
- 35:25Speaker 2: no emotion. He didn't show any kind of caring for
- 35:29Speaker 2: Jane Doe. All he was trying to do was get
- 35:32Speaker 2: out in front of criticism and lawsuits against Cornell University. Look,
- 35:37Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of people that are
- 35:39Speaker 2: fired at Cornell University. He might be one of them
- 35:42Speaker 2: because there are so many people that failed this young girl.
- 35:47Speaker 2: It sounds like she did all the right things and
- 35:51Speaker 2: there was nobody there for her.
- 35:53Speaker 18: There are real legal and privacy limits on what we
- 35:57Speaker 18: can say. But we will make a greater effort to
- 36:00Speaker 18: explain what we can to provide context about the actions
- 36:04Speaker 18: Cornell has taken and to be more transparent.
- 36:08Speaker 2: And that's all we get from this doof. Did you
- 36:10Speaker 2: hear any, did you hear for a moment there any sorrow? Any,
- 36:15Speaker 2: oh my God, I can't believe this would happen. Oh
- 36:17Speaker 2: my God, if this was my daughter, I'd want to
- 36:19Speaker 2: kill the person.
- 36:20Speaker 12: No.
- 36:21Speaker 1: No, no.
- 36:22Speaker 2: He was very staid. It's almost like he was reading
- 36:25Speaker 2: a statement. It was almost like a hostage statement.
- 36:28Speaker 1: From the, no doubt, the massive number of attorneys who
- 36:31Speaker 1: were at the beck and call of Cornell University. But,
- 36:35Speaker 1: He made it seem like he was handcuffed, like he
- 36:38Speaker 1: had no other choice because of privacy concerns. And that's
- 36:43Speaker 1: not true. Uh, you have a defense counsel now, uh,
- 36:47Speaker 1: who is suing the university. I'm sure it'd be more
- 36:51Speaker 1: than happy to meet with the university because you're going
- 36:53Speaker 1: to have to resolve this civil suit and boy, Cornell
- 36:56Speaker 1: is going to be paying a lot. But in the interim, uh,
- 37:00Speaker 1: university might learn of some information if the defense council
- 37:04Speaker 1: wanted to reveal it as part of a settlement that
- 37:07Speaker 1: would be extraordinarily helpful to them they don't seem interested
- 37:10Speaker 1: in doing any of that seems like they're just going
- 37:13Speaker 1: to put their backs to the wall going to take
- 37:15Speaker 1: a public beating continuously i mean whoever heard of cornell
- 37:19Speaker 1: before dartmouth most people didn't even know where they were
- 37:22Speaker 1: even brown to an extent it was always the big
- 37:25Speaker 1: ones you know Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton. Those were the
- 37:30Speaker 1: big four Ivy League schools. But now, the whole world
- 37:34Speaker 1: knows about Cornell.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Everybody knows them now. And you said they look like
- 37:38Speaker 2: they were putting their backs against a wall and making
- 37:41Speaker 2: some type of hostage statement. No, it was a firing squad.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Everybody that made a statement, everybody that covered this up,
- 37:49Speaker 2: everybody that finagled that report... So the word rape wasn't
- 37:54Speaker 2: used in it, although she said it twice in her
- 37:57Speaker 2: statement to the police department, should resign. I can't believe
- 38:02Speaker 2: people haven't already resigned. The head of the Cornell Police Department. Gone.
- 38:08Speaker 2: You're going to be gone either way. Do it nobly.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Just get out of there. Anybody that turned that report
- 38:14Speaker 2: over to the DA and hid all that information, gone.
- 38:19Speaker 2: You should be leaving. And I think the only reason
- 38:21Speaker 2: they're not right now is because Letitia James has taken
- 38:26Speaker 2: over the investigation. And that means there's going to be
- 38:29Speaker 2: a lot of people that are going to jail. Not
- 38:32Speaker 2: just those men that were in the gang rape, but
- 38:35Speaker 2: anybody that tried to cover it up.
- 38:36Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think also, I'm sorry, Larry, I think
- 38:39Speaker 1: very quickly also, based on the local DA who has
- 38:44Speaker 1: limited resources and didn't appear in his initial statements to
- 38:48Speaker 1: be a bit of a country bumpkin, when you're the
- 38:50Speaker 1: attorney general of any state, you have endless resources, lots
- 38:55Speaker 1: of staff lawyers who deal with civil and also criminal complaints.
- 38:59Speaker 1: So she has the staff that can do the deep dive.
- 39:02Speaker 2: Sorry about that. Yeah, you heard Trump talk about her
- 39:04Speaker 2: and said, the people that she's gone after, you're not
- 39:07Speaker 2: going to get a fair shake.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Did we have Cuomo talk about her and the 13
- 39:11Speaker 1: sexual harassment charges?
- 39:12Speaker 2: No, he didn't say anything. Oh, he ain't the president.
- 39:15Speaker 19: We will review the facts, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and
- 39:23Speaker 19: if warranted, pursue prosecutions.
- 39:26Speaker 2: If warranted. There's got to be prosecutions because she needs
- 39:32Speaker 2: another head on her bed stand.
- 39:33Speaker 1: What's going to happen is you have the seven, the
- 39:37Speaker 1: Cornell seven. One of them, if their defense attorney is
- 39:43Speaker 1: aggressive and bright, is going to break ranks first and
- 39:46Speaker 1: rat everybody else out and become the state's witness. I'm
- 39:51Speaker 1: sure that's taking place behind closed doors as we speak,
- 39:54Speaker 1: where whatever defense attorneys have been hired by family are saying, look,
- 39:59Speaker 1: we can break out of this. We can become the
- 40:02Speaker 1: state's witness. I can reach out to the attorney general's
- 40:04Speaker 1: office and say, you're willing to cooperate because whoever goes
- 40:07Speaker 1: first will end up doing no time. But you're going
- 40:10Speaker 1: to be expected to rat out all the others. But
- 40:13Speaker 1: if you don't, somebody is going to become state's witness
- 40:16Speaker 1: and then you're going to jail.
- 40:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you know who they're going to be. I mean,
- 40:19Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious who's going to turn evidence and it's
- 40:22Speaker 2: the first two. Because if you remember in her statement,
- 40:25Speaker 2: she says, I was okay with the first two guys.
- 40:28Speaker 2: I said no after that. After that, all these people
- 40:31Speaker 2: started coming and they were violent with her. So there
- 40:34Speaker 2: can be assault charges too. So those first two, and remember,
- 40:38Speaker 2: she texted one of them the next day and they
- 40:40Speaker 2: had a conversation. So they apparently kept going with a relationship.
- 40:45Speaker 2: And she said in her text- No, I had a
- 40:48Speaker 2: good time until a billion other guys showed up, is
- 40:51Speaker 2: the way she phrased it in her text.
- 40:53Speaker 1: And the other thing is that a day before the
- 40:56Speaker 1: sexual assault, the police, the campus police responded there was
- 41:00Speaker 1: an overdose on ketamine in that same frat. Hours before,
- 41:05Speaker 1: on the day of the sexual assault, they had made
- 41:09Speaker 1: a drug bust in that frat for ketamine. So then
- 41:13Speaker 1: a few hours later... You know, it was back to
- 41:16Speaker 1: Animal House. You say to yourself, what were the guardrails
- 41:19Speaker 1: in that frat? I mean, A, you had an OD
- 41:22Speaker 1: the day before on ketamine, one of the frat brothers.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Then hours before the actual sexual attack, the Cornell Police
- 41:29Speaker 1: Department makes an arrest of one of the frat members
- 41:33Speaker 1: for possession of ketamine. And then they continue this aberrant behavior.
- 41:38Speaker 1: You would have thought that would have been a warning, like, guys,
- 41:40Speaker 1: we got to chill out, man. The cops are all
- 41:43Speaker 1: over us. No, it didn't matter to them.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you don't know the alias for ketamine,
- 41:48Speaker 2: it is called the date rape drug. It is given
- 41:51Speaker 2: to women so that they can go ahead and have
- 41:55Speaker 2: sex with you. That's what they're doing. I'm not going
- 41:57Speaker 2: to say it's rape, because I'm sure in certain times
- 42:01Speaker 2: it's not. But it's supposed to loosen up women for
- 42:04Speaker 2: you on the date. Let me talk about the wonderful
- 42:07Speaker 2: thing that's come from this, the only really good thing.
- 42:10Speaker 2: is that women across the country, in colleges across the country,
- 42:15Speaker 2: or who graduated from colleges across the country, now have
- 42:19Speaker 2: the courage to come forward. And they're all calling themselves
- 42:22Speaker 2: Jane Doe in support of the victim at Cornell University.
- 42:27Speaker 2: And they're all sharing their stories online. And I would
- 42:30Speaker 2: tell you that you really should search some of them
- 42:33Speaker 2: out because they are heartfelt and they are emotional. And also,
- 42:38Speaker 2: at Cornell University, they've now had two town halls with students,
- 42:43Speaker 2: and they've come out with their own demands on what
- 42:46Speaker 2: should be happening on their campus. Isn't it amazing that
- 42:49Speaker 2: they're the ones that are coming out and said, here's
- 42:52Speaker 2: the things that have to change? But how wonderful is that?
- 42:56Speaker 2: And there are women that are now banding together looking
- 43:00Speaker 2: for more victims on Cornell campus. Now, this is going
- 43:04Speaker 2: to be an enormous story, not just in Cornell University,
- 43:09Speaker 2: but across the country, because now you've unleashed the silent.
- 43:13Speaker 2: They've now got the voice to come forward and say,
- 43:18Speaker 2: remember it before? Me too. This happened to me.
- 43:21Speaker 1: A lot of the student journalists at Cornell University did
- 43:24Speaker 1: not let this story die. Some of the same people
- 43:27Speaker 1: who interviewed me, although I was unaware of this last
- 43:30Speaker 1: year when I spoke at Cornell, some really young, bright
- 43:34Speaker 1: men and women from around the country who go to
- 43:36Speaker 1: Cornell were doing the deep dive all the time. I'd
- 43:39Speaker 1: be interested to see if the university was trying to
- 43:43Speaker 1: stop that. You see, that's the other story that has
- 43:46Speaker 1: been told. The young journalists at the school have been
- 43:48Speaker 1: given credit for keeping that story alive. But was there
- 43:51Speaker 1: any attempt by the administration to thwart their effort.
- 43:54Speaker 2: As we've seen at other universities? Yeah, that'll be fascinating.
- 43:58Speaker 2: Do you know Olivia Dean? Big star right now. Yeah.
- 44:01Speaker 2: She's another one of your stars.
- 44:04Speaker 13: She is.
- 44:05Speaker 2: What was that one about Texas? What is that song?
- 44:08Speaker 2: The number one song in the country for 24 straight weeks. Yeah,
- 44:11Speaker 2: that was a.
- 44:11Speaker 1: Pretty big deal. New York Times has just done a
- 44:14Speaker 1: glowing portrait. I am doubting Thomas about her. And what
- 44:18Speaker 1: about Olivia Deen?
- 44:19Speaker 2: Olivia Deen's got the number two song in the country
- 44:22Speaker 2: right now and has had several huge hits. But this one,
- 44:27Speaker 2: she may have ripped off. and she's in some big trouble.
- 44:30Speaker 2: I'll play the two songs for you coming up next,
- 44:33Speaker 2: and you be the judge. Plus, a chance to see
- 44:35Speaker 2: A Bronx Tale, the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri at 825. Well,
- 44:42Speaker 2: yet another music star has been accused of ripping off
- 44:46Speaker 2: a song. You get tired of all these accusations after
- 44:51Speaker 2: a while. This is filed against Olivia Dean, if you
- 44:54Speaker 2: haven't heard from her. Olivia Dean's one of the biggest
- 44:57Speaker 2: stars in the country right now. Olivia Newton-John, when she
- 45:00Speaker 2: was alive, I get that. But Olivia Dean? Yeah, she's
- 45:03Speaker 2: a big, big star. She's got the number two song
- 45:05Speaker 2: in the country right now.
- 45:06Speaker 1: That's like Ella Langley, you know.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got the number one song in the country.
- 45:10Speaker 1: I've never heard of either one of these.
- 45:12Speaker 2: That's not surprising. We can go down the list of
- 45:16Speaker 2: all of the people. I don't think you've been listening
- 45:18Speaker 2: to Top 40 Stations, have you? Yeah, Z100, right? That's
- 45:22Speaker 2: our sister station. They play both those songs.
- 45:25Speaker 1: I don't think so. Larry, I think you're going to
- 45:30Speaker 1: have to be corrected. But how did she get into trouble?
- 45:33Speaker 1: Who did she rip off here?
- 45:36Speaker 2: Oh, man, I don't know if I can go on.
- 45:38Speaker 2: So anyway, let me play the song for you, and
- 45:42Speaker 2: you try to figure out who she ripped off. So
- 45:46Speaker 2: a lawsuit has been filed in California by Maddie Music Group,
- 45:52Speaker 2: the publisher, the administer's of a Great Ones catalog. This
- 45:57Speaker 2: guy was so talented. Think of the songs he... Lean
- 46:02Speaker 2: On Me, Lovely Day, Ain't No Sunshine. These are huge hits.
- 46:10Speaker 1: That's right. Lean On Me, remember, was the actual film
- 46:14Speaker 1: was done in Patterson, New Jersey about... Remember Principal Clark?
- 46:19Speaker 2: I covered him.
- 46:20Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 46:20Speaker 2: I was at his school a lot, and I would
- 46:23Speaker 2: try to ask him questions... And he'd always go, oh,
- 46:26Speaker 2: go ahead, Mike Wallace. East Patterson High School, yeah, with
- 46:31Speaker 2: the bullhorn and the bat.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 46:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked him. I really liked him a lot.
- 46:37Speaker 1: I got along well with him. He was so good.
- 46:39Speaker 1: He was forced out of education unfairly. But in this case,
- 46:44Speaker 1: how could the people involved in the production putting this together?
- 46:48Speaker 2: All they would have had to do is a Spotify check.
- 46:51Speaker 1: And they would immediately have seen that this was like
- 46:54Speaker 1: almost bar for bar, sound for sound, a ripoff of
- 46:57Speaker 1: Bill Withers' classic.
- 46:59Speaker 2: And here we go. And here is the difference with generations.
- 47:02Speaker 2: So you didn't know who Olivia Deen is, even though
- 47:05Speaker 2: she's a huge star. My guess is the people that
- 47:08Speaker 2: work with her don't know who Bill Withers is, you know,
- 47:12Speaker 2: because it's all these young people that are putting this together,
- 47:15Speaker 2: telling her what a great song it is, kind of
- 47:17Speaker 2: kissing up to her because she's going to be their
- 47:20Speaker 2: meal ticket. And now they're going to end up paying
- 47:23Speaker 2: a fortune. They need to settle this out of court.
- 47:25Speaker 2: Because that's one of the most obvious I've ever heard.
- 47:28Speaker 1: You know, we haven't heard anything further about Sean Puff's
- 47:31Speaker 1: daddy Combs and all of his indiscretions in jail. But
- 47:34Speaker 1: he was the king of the remix. But he would
- 47:37Speaker 1: tell you, I'm remixing this classic. What they did was
- 47:42Speaker 1: a redo of Bill Withers' song without paying any residuals.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Do the people own the copyright trademark? They basically were
- 47:50Speaker 1: like Red China here. You know how Red China just
- 47:52Speaker 1: steals everything and denies everything. No residuals and no credit
- 47:56Speaker 1: as well. They should be giving a writing credit. All right,
- 47:59Speaker 1: let's get some talkbacks.
- 48:01Speaker 13: Hey, can you guys just clear up a couple of
- 48:03Speaker 13: facts for us? It's not like Cornell did nothing. They
- 48:09Speaker 13: expelled two people. That's a big deal. I believe they
- 48:13Speaker 13: closed down the frat fraternity, did they not? at the time.
- 48:18Speaker 13: And thirdly, it's not up to them whether the DA prosecutes, correct? So,
- 48:27Speaker 13: I mean, if that's all the way it is, then
- 48:29Speaker 13: they did something.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Right.
- 48:31Speaker 2: They did something. They didn't do enough. So, let's go
- 48:34Speaker 2: through the three things you just mentioned. Yes, they did
- 48:37Speaker 2: expel two students. You're absolutely correct. But there were seven involved.
- 48:41Speaker 2: and one of them got a writing assignment, at least
- 48:44Speaker 2: one of them, but all of them got a slap
- 48:46Speaker 2: on the wrist. And you would acknowledge that deserves more
- 48:50Speaker 2: than a slap on the wrist. But you're right, we
- 48:53Speaker 2: need to know all the facts before we say anything
- 48:56Speaker 2: about the punishment. Yes, there was an investigation, as you mentioned.
- 49:00Speaker 2: There absolutely was an investigation, but they didn't share her
- 49:04Speaker 2: interview where she said, yes, I was raped with the DA. So, no,
- 49:10Speaker 2: they are culpable in all of this.
- 49:12Speaker 1: They scrubbed it.
- 49:13Speaker 2: They scrubbed it. Absolutely. And so, no, they did some
- 49:16Speaker 2: wrong things. I forget your third one. When I remember it,
- 49:19Speaker 2: I'll get back to you. back to it. Letitia James,
- 49:22Speaker 2: are you serious? Letitia James is going to solve this.
- 49:26Speaker 18: There is no Donald Trump in Cornell.
- 49:30Speaker 2: So, how could she possibly be successful? It has to
- 49:35Speaker 2: be something Donald Trump did, because that's all she cares about.
- 49:39Speaker 13: So.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Why put this woman in charge of what she can't do?
- 49:44Speaker 1: Well, ask Hans Weaver-Lyce Cuomo. 13 sexual harassment charges from
- 49:51Speaker 1: his staff and a state trooper. And by the way,
- 49:53Speaker 1: we're still paying.
- 49:54Speaker 2: Out $ 60.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Million in settlements while he just bought a mansion for
- 49:59Speaker 1: $ 9 million next to his brother Fredo in the Hamptons.
- 50:02Speaker 2: Yeah, no, those people at Cornell University are in trouble
- 50:05Speaker 2: because now she has to succeed with this. Because trust me,
- 50:10Speaker 2: she's running for something else. Governor? Maybe. Let's get to
- 50:15Speaker 2: Daria Albinger now with the 730 News, Daria.
- 50:18Speaker 3: Morning, guys.
- 50:19Speaker 2: Sunny today.
- 50:19Speaker 16: We'll see a high of 69 degrees. Police are investigating
- 50:22Speaker 16: a deadly hit-and-run crash this morning in Brooklyn.
- 50:25Speaker 7: Police say a 62-year-old male driver is dead. His backseat
- 50:29Speaker 7: passenger in the hospital with injuries after being involved in
- 50:32Speaker 7: a chain reaction crash just after midnight. This was on
- 50:35Speaker 7: Ocean Parkway between Avenue R and Avenue S in Gravesend.
- 50:38Speaker 7: That forced police to shut down the parkway in that area.
- 50:41Speaker 7: The driver of one of the three vehicles involved took off.
- 50:44Speaker 7: Police are trying to find that person. I'm Scott Pringle,
- 50:47Speaker 7: WDOR News.
- 50:48Speaker 16: City Council Speaker Julie Menins called all 51 members to
- 50:51Speaker 16: a hearing today on artificial intelligence. The council will hear
- 50:54Speaker 16: from top executives about the potential dangers of the rapidly
- 50:58Speaker 16: emerging technology.
- 51:00Speaker 6: A U.S.
- 51:00Speaker 16: Marine is under arrest accused of killing a Japanese woman
- 51:03Speaker 16: in Okinawa.
- 51:05Speaker 20: The Japanese Broadcasting Corporation reports a cord-like object was still
- 51:09Speaker 20: wrapped around the victim's neck when her body was found.
- 51:11Speaker 20: Authorities say they have video of 20-year-old Lance Corporal Devin
- 51:15Speaker 20: Ballard and the victim entering a hotel together and video
- 51:18Speaker 20: of Ballard leaving with her belongings. He denies involvement.
- 51:23Speaker 16: ABC's Hannah Bataa. One of the people arrested for exploring
- 51:28Speaker 16: the city's sewer system is now in ICE custody. The
- 51:31Speaker 16: feds say Samuel Reveron Escanio was one of two men
- 51:34Speaker 16: arrested last month for trespassing as they emerged from a
- 51:37Speaker 16: manhole near a hotel in Midtown where many foreign dignitaries
- 51:40Speaker 16: were staying for the U.N. General Assembly. NYPD released him
- 51:44Speaker 16: despite DHS saying that he's here illegally from Venezuela. Well,
- 51:49Speaker 16: with less than a month to go to the midterms,
- 51:51Speaker 16: President Trump is hitting the campaign trail again. this time
- 51:53Speaker 16: in support of Republican candidates in Nebraska. The Giants and
- 51:57Speaker 16: the Rangers won.
- 51:58Speaker 2: The Jets lost.
- 51:58Speaker 16: The Yankees look to tie up Tampa Bay in Game
- 52:01Speaker 16: 2 of the American League Divisional Series tonight. Next news,
- 52:05Speaker 16: 8 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 52:09Speaker 1: Oh, right on time, sportsmeister extraordinaire Warner Wolfe on the
- 52:13Speaker 1: cardiac giants who win again, the Jets who failed, and
- 52:17Speaker 1: the Yankees who were lucky to get one hit. Well,
- 52:20Speaker 1: right on time, sportsmeister extraordinaire Warner Wolfe. First, Warner, about the.
- 52:27Speaker 2: Cardiac New York Giants.
- 52:29Speaker 1: If you're a Giant fan like I am, you're on
- 52:32Speaker 1: the verge of cardiac arrest, but you're happy, right?
- 52:34Speaker 2: You're happy.
- 52:36Speaker 21: Oh, yeah, but let me say that I'm going to
- 52:38Speaker 21: put an asterisk in you. When I was a sportscaster,
- 52:42Speaker 21: I was always neutral. I didn't want to become a homer,
- 52:45Speaker 21: so I was never anybody's fan. Just show me the
- 52:49Speaker 21: right play. But anyway, get to the point. For the Giants,
- 52:54Speaker 21: second straight week's a game-winning interception, one in the end zone,
- 52:59Speaker 21: one at the two. Last week was 17 seconds left,
- 53:02Speaker 21: and yesterday with 11 seconds left. So the Giants win. Otherwise,
- 53:08Speaker 21: they would be 1-3 rather than 3-1. And as long
- 53:13Speaker 21: as Jameis Winston can keep the Giants in the game,
- 53:17Speaker 21: you know, he had 250-yard street touchdowns, and Dominic Zavada
- 53:22Speaker 21: can keep making field goals. This guy's now 9-9. The
- 53:27Speaker 21: Giants won't need Jonathan James McCarthy, otherwise known as J.J. Now,
- 53:33Speaker 21: last week, You guys laughed at me when I said
- 53:37Speaker 21: John Harbaugh would go after his old Super Bowl winning quarterback,
- 53:41Speaker 21: 41-year-old Joe Flacco. My source said he did, but that
- 53:49Speaker 21: the Bengals wanted too much for him. Do you know
- 53:53Speaker 21: who my source was?
- 53:55Speaker 1: No, who?
- 53:56Speaker 2: Joe Flacco.
- 53:58Speaker 13: Me.
- 54:07Speaker 21: Meanwhile, Geno Smith, man, if he continues to play like that,
- 54:12Speaker 21: just eight completions all day with just 119 yards, you
- 54:17Speaker 21: can forget the one and three Jets now. The Jets
- 54:21Speaker 21: were outgained by the Bears and backup quarterback, Bajan Tyson,
- 54:27Speaker 21: who he 414 yards to only 157. And once again,
- 54:30Speaker 21: I have to ask, Can Aaron Glenn, can he handle
- 54:38Speaker 21: being both a head coach and call the defensive signals
- 54:43Speaker 21: at the same time? So far, he hasn't shown he can.
- 54:47Speaker 21: And it was a huge week for the underdogs and
- 54:51Speaker 21: the points. If you bet the 15 underdogs and took
- 54:56Speaker 21: the points, you were 12-3. The underdogs beat the spread
- 55:01Speaker 21: 12 out of 15 games. And the Falcons are two-and-a-half
- 55:05Speaker 21: point underdog against the Saints tonight.
- 55:09Speaker 1: All right.
- 55:10Speaker 21: Raising Yankees again tonight in Tampa game two. Cam Schlittler
- 55:14Speaker 21: against Freddy Peralta. He's the guy that pitched for the Mets,
- 55:18Speaker 21: and they traded him at the deadline.
- 55:21Speaker 1: They gave up on him.
- 55:23Speaker 21: Yes, they did. And he's been great for the Tampa Ravens. Gosh,
- 55:30Speaker 21: here's the advantage of winning game one in the best
- 55:33Speaker 21: three out of five. Because the winner only has to
- 55:37Speaker 21: split the remaining four games. The loser of game one
- 55:41Speaker 21: must now win three out of four. By the way,
- 55:44Speaker 21: here's one for you. The Yankees' payroll is $ 342 million
- 55:50Speaker 21: with taxes. The Rays' payroll... There's only 113 million.
- 55:58Speaker 1: But I got to tell you, I got to tell you, Warner,
- 56:00Speaker 1: I'm watching the tail end of the game. Austin Wells
- 56:03Speaker 1: gets a double down the right field line. And he
- 56:06Speaker 1: decides that you're going to stretch it into a triple.
- 56:09Speaker 1: This guy is the catcher. There's two outs in the eighth.
- 56:13Speaker 1: He should have stayed at second. The third base coach said,
- 56:15Speaker 1: stay there, stay there. He runs right to him. He
- 56:17Speaker 1: gets thrown out by Country Mile. What a dumb thing
- 56:21Speaker 1: to do.
- 56:22Speaker 21: That's right. With two outs, you know, a single scores
- 56:24Speaker 21: you from second, period. You don't try and stretch it. Now,
- 56:29Speaker 21: maybe with one out or no outs, okay, because then
- 56:32Speaker 21: a sacrifice fly.
- 56:33Speaker 15: But, no, you're right.
- 56:35Speaker 21: By the way, you know what that proves with the payrolls?
- 56:40Speaker 21: It's not how much you spend. It's how you spend it.
- 56:44Speaker 21: That's for Steve Cohen. Now, he was the worst response
- 56:49Speaker 21: trying to cover up a blunder. Mets incompetent general manager
- 56:54Speaker 21: David Stearns, who when asked about giving away his all-star
- 56:58Speaker 21: first baseman, Pete Alonzo, and without a replacement, said, I
- 57:04Speaker 21: don't get a mulligan.
- 57:06Speaker 4: Mulligan?
- 57:07Speaker 2: Come on, man, this ain't golf.
- 57:11Speaker 21: A mulligan is a do-over when everyone else agrees and says, okay,
- 57:15Speaker 21: you can do it. No one agreed with you letting
- 57:18Speaker 21: Alonzo go. And all Alonzo did... was lead the American
- 57:22Speaker 21: League in home runs with 43 and RBIs with 113.
- 57:28Speaker 21: And unlike your injury-prone Mets, he never missed the game. Okay,
- 57:35Speaker 21: I'm assuming you guys are old enough. This week in sports,
- 57:40Speaker 21: October 3, 1951, it's the 75th anniversary of the Giants'
- 57:46Speaker 21: Bobby Thompson's pennant-winning home run over the Dodgers. Here was
- 57:50Speaker 21: the call by Giants radio announcer Russ Hodges. Okay, now
- 58:07Speaker 21: you guys remember.
- 58:08Speaker 2: That, right?
- 58:09Speaker 4: 1951?
- 58:10Speaker 2: How old do you think we are?
- 58:11Speaker 21: Well, I know Curtis is 72. I don't know about you.
- 58:16Speaker 1: What I do know is after that game, Bobby Thompson
- 58:19Speaker 1: took the Staten Island ferry home to Staten Island.
- 58:23Speaker 2: What a difference between now and then.
- 58:25Speaker 21: That's right. Now, let me ask you something. Here's my
- 58:29Speaker 21: take on this. It's been looked upon as one of
- 58:33Speaker 21: the most famous home runs in baseball history. But was it?
- 58:37Speaker 21: Because 50 years after the home run, it was revealed
- 58:41Speaker 21: that the Giants used a high-powered telescope from center field
- 58:46Speaker 21: connected to a buzzer, stealing the Dodgers catcher's signs to
- 58:51Speaker 21: the pitchers and then flashed to the Giants' batters. So
- 58:55Speaker 21: the Giants' batters knew what was coming. Okay, yes, they
- 58:59Speaker 21: did have to hit it, but they knew what was coming.
- 59:01Speaker 21: Although Thompson always denied he didn't know the pitch Here's
- 59:09Speaker 21: something for you. After the Giants installed that system, they
- 59:15Speaker 21: won 37 games and lost only seven. Also, keep in mind,
- 59:25Speaker 21: the Giants didn't need a home run to stay in
- 59:27Speaker 21: the game. There was only one out, not two outs.
- 59:31Speaker 21: And they had runners at second and third. In other words,
- 59:34Speaker 21: a base hit would have tied the score with Willie
- 59:36Speaker 21: Mays on deck. I'm thinking maybe Kirk Gibson's two-run pinch hit, Homer,
- 59:42Speaker 21: and I know you guys remember that, on one leg.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Oh, sure.
- 59:47Speaker 21: Two outs, not one out like Thompson. I think that's
- 59:51Speaker 21: just or maybe more impressive.
- 59:53Speaker 1: I think you're a doubting Thompson.
- 59:57Speaker 21: That's good. That's good, Curtis. That's good for you. All right,
- 1:00:04Speaker 21: the stooge of the week has to go to New
- 1:00:06Speaker 21: York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen, whose headline read, Mam Dummy
- 1:00:14Speaker 21: is showing the world how it's done. You've got to
- 1:00:18Speaker 21: be kidding. Yeah, if you want socialism or communism, which
- 1:00:23Speaker 21: has never worked anywhere for the people, and you want
- 1:00:27Speaker 21: someone who has anti-Semitic views and is ruining the city,
- 1:00:32Speaker 21: then yes, you want Mamdani to show the world how
- 1:00:36Speaker 21: it's done. Come on, Lydia, man, get real. And finally.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: Warner, Warner, Warner, stop for one second. Didn't you know
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: that they have a special relationship, Mamdani and Curtis? Didn't
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: you see them holding hands over the weekend?
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:00:51Speaker 15: Oh, no, I missed it.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: I'm cutting you off, Warner. I'm cutting you off because
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: that was a shot at me.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: That was a shot below the belt. We'll hear from
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: you same time, same place next week. But up next
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: from the streets, Natalie Magliore, AI. They don't even have
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: actual intelligence at the city council. Are they going to
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: be talking about AI today?
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Well, it's ground into camera.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Natalie. I am so happy because
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: I think this AI thing has gotten out of control.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: And the industry leaders tried to take it on. They
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: haven't done well. World leaders tried to take it on.
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: They haven't done well. Thank God the brainiacs at the
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: New York City Council are finally tackling this issue. And
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: you talk to New Yorkers about that. They must be thrilled.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: I am.
- 1:01:46Speaker 11: Love the sarcasm that is just seeping from you right now. Yes, look,
- 1:01:52Speaker 11: major tech companies are preparing to testify at the New
- 1:01:56Speaker 11: York City Council hearing about artificial intelligence today. The hearing
- 1:02:01Speaker 11: follows an outpouring of public concern over just how powerful
- 1:02:06Speaker 11: AI is and is becoming, with industry insiders sounding the
- 1:02:10Speaker 11: alarm last month, one of which saying AI could kill
- 1:02:14Speaker 11: all humans and in the next decade, if you guys
- 1:02:17Speaker 11: remember that headline. That was pretty striking. We did stories
- 1:02:20Speaker 11: in connection to that, too. So President Trump has dismissed
- 1:02:24Speaker 11: these concerns, but New Yorkers looking at the technology with
- 1:02:28Speaker 11: a more critical mind.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: I think it's a slippery slope.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: I think it's useful in certain areas, and I think
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: it's harmful in certain areas.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: I mean, I've used chat GPT for, like, write, like,
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: assistance to write, like, emails for work and stuff like that.
- 1:02:42Speaker 12: Well, on one hand, I understand it's really convenient. It's
- 1:02:44Speaker 12: like how we used Google back then with just searching
- 1:02:48Speaker 12: things up and it gives you a summary and everything.
- 1:02:52Speaker 12: But what I don't like about it is replacing your
- 1:02:55Speaker 12: thinking process.
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: Actually, anything that Donald Trump is pushing or is into,
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: I'm totally against because everything that he's against represents sort
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: of like me.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: And you are biased. The president has called it superintelligence, SI.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Haven't you gotten the memo on that?
- 1:03:15Speaker 11: We're moving into it right now, Curtis. I love this.
- 1:03:18Speaker 11: The president has gone as far.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: Ready?
- 1:03:21Speaker 11: My next line in my little script that's now gone awry, everybody.
- 1:03:25Speaker 11: The president has gone as far as attempting to rebrand
- 1:03:28Speaker 11: artificial intelligence. I love that it's not renaming. He's rebranding it.
- 1:03:32Speaker 11: That's the new thing that people do. Signing an executive
- 1:03:35Speaker 11: order mandating the federal government stop referring to it as
- 1:03:39Speaker 11: artificial intelligence and start calling it super intelligence. The president
- 1:03:45Speaker 11: had said artificial made it sound fake, but there's no
- 1:03:48Speaker 11: shortage of reaction from people who are skeptical, skeptical. Who
- 1:03:53Speaker 11: are wary of the technology?
- 1:03:56Speaker 22: That seems very disturbing to me. And, you know, I'm
- 1:04:00Speaker 22: concerned for the people of the world, you know. It
- 1:04:02Speaker 22: makes it inhumane because it could get through the wrong hands,
- 1:04:05Speaker 22: you know. There's different type of people around the world.
- 1:04:09Speaker 22: Some are doing it for good, but some are doing
- 1:04:11Speaker 22: it for bad.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't hear that, but I'm not surprised either.
- 1:04:14Speaker 12: There's no point in doing so. Like, it's not super
- 1:04:18Speaker 12: in any way. The things it does are all accumulated
- 1:04:20Speaker 12: from human knowledge. Like, we're clearly capable of doing it.
- 1:04:24Speaker 12: Why are we naming it super when it's not? It's
- 1:04:26Speaker 12: just accumulating all of the things we already did.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: I guess not a Trump crowd down there today.
- 1:04:32Speaker 7: Right there.
- 1:04:33Speaker 11: Really?
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: You're in New York.
- 1:04:36Speaker 11: It's not even a mixed bag sometimes. Like when somebody
- 1:04:39Speaker 11: starts talking about support for Trump, I'm like, keep going.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: We don't get.
- 1:04:42Speaker 11: This a lot. We got to get both sides as
- 1:04:44Speaker 11: much as we can. Now, the city council says it
- 1:04:47Speaker 11: will use today to focus on the risks of AI
- 1:04:50Speaker 11: with members expected to introduce a series of bills. One
- 1:04:54Speaker 11: would include a requirement to have a human kill switch
- 1:04:57Speaker 11: that could shut down AI systems. If it gets out
- 1:05:00Speaker 11: of control or even give New Yorkers the right to
- 1:05:02Speaker 11: sue certain companies for specific harms. And as debate swells,
- 1:05:08Speaker 11: the question really becomes, should we be afraid of AI?
- 1:05:12Speaker 6: That's a good question.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: I don't know that I can answer it.
- 1:05:15Speaker 6: I would say that I'm generally afraid of things I
- 1:05:17Speaker 6: don't understand that seem to have a lot of prevalence
- 1:05:20Speaker 6: in society.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: You should be.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: I was reading an article about how they copied a
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: man's voice and opened his house door and his kids
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: didn't know and they robbed his entire house. I would
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: never want that. I didn't grow up like that. I mean,
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: technology does advance, but it gives you no sort of privacy.
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: It could put you in any situation. It could put
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: you in situations financially. I'm just not really interested in it.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. The city council that
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: doesn't even have AI, actual intelligence, is going to try
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: to figure out this complicated issue. The young lady made
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: a very good explanation, you know, the problem. They wouldn't
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: even be able to understand what that woman was talking about. Right.
- 1:06:06Speaker 11: Well, I think that maybe you need to show up
- 1:06:09Speaker 11: and teach them what actual intelligence is. I like that.
- 1:06:13Speaker 11: That was a good line.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: Speaking of actual intelligence, say this word one more time.
- 1:06:17Speaker 11: Skeptical.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: There you go.
- 1:06:20Speaker 11: I can't do that. I was like trying to figure
- 1:06:26Speaker 11: it out. Gosh, couldn't get it out this morning.
- 1:06:28Speaker 13: It's Monday.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: That was quick to come up with wary, though. I know.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: That was very good.
- 1:06:33Speaker 11: Thank you.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Well, Natalie Magliore will be back with us same time,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: same place tomorrow at 750.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Facing. So Curtis was not here on Friday during his
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: tryst with Mom Donnie. And so I was talking about
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: the election. And I was extremely optimistic because all these
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: new polls had just come out and they show that
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: the Republicans were gaining ground, that Paxton was now tie
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: in Texas. Oh, up one, I should say. Collins was
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: up two. Everywhere you looked, Ohio looked good. And then
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: it took that quick. So I did the show in
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: the morning and people even called and said, why, why
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: are you so optimistic? And I played Harry Enten saying that,
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: The Republicans always do better than the polls and sometimes
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: like plus nine in Ohio. And then polls came out
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: over the weekend that quickly, that quickly after all of
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: my optimism was, It was drenched by the CBS News
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: and the New York Times. They came out with their polls. Now,
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: I know what you're saying. You're thinking, well, it's CBS
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: News and the New York Times. What are they going
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: to say? But, you know, I don't question a lot
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: of polls. There are some outliers. They are pretty bad.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: But I've actually been at some of these polling institutes,
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: and I know how seriously they take it. So I
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: hate to say, unless it's a political poll that somebody
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: pays for and it's specifically to try– to create an agenda,
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: to create a movement, to say, look, I'm doing better
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: than I thought I am. Your guy, Andrew Cuomo, was
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: great at that. He would release those fake polls all
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: the time, and they'd get reported on all the time,
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: and they were fake.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Most of those polls that indicated that he was competing
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: were all fake, but that's the media now. They'll print
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: any poll. It used to be, if you had a
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: legitimate background in doing polls, which means nowadays... You can't
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: just depend on calls because a lot of people just
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: won't answer their cell phones. You have to do it
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: a number of ways, and it takes time, and it
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: costs money. Now you have polling data that comes from groups.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: You say, what group is that? Yeah, it's a made-up group.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it just appeared out of nowhere.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: And listen, so the New York Times and CBS, if
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: you want a couple of sites that I go to
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: to look at polls where they get rid of some
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: of those polls that are fake, go to Real Clear
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Politics and you'll see right at the top of the
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: page polling. You can go down to all of the
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: polls there. And also the Cook Report. You can go
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: to there and you can see a lot of the polls.
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: They're pretty legitimate sites. So I go to Real Clear
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: Politics and I'm looking at this and state after state.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Let me just do a couple. I won't go through
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: all these.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: Texas.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: The New York Times, Siena poll has now Siena does
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: lean Democratic, but I'll leave that out of it. Let's
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: just say that I'm going to trust their poll. Tallarico 51,
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Paxton 45. That's there. In Iowa, Hinson is ahead, but
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: 48 to 47 in Republican Iowa, that's basically a toss-up.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: When you get to Alaska, Peltola up, he's 50. He's
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: up seven on Sullivan, 43. It goes on and on
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: and on and on. And that's CBS, New York Times,
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: the exact same thing. It is not good at this point. Now,
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: a lot of money is going to be spent. The
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: Republicans have a lot more money than the Democrats, and
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: we'll see what Donald Trump does while he's out on
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: the campaign site. If you're trying to figure out exactly
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: what he's doing, because you look at his approval rating
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: and you go to yourself, oh, what's he going to
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: be out there for? Isn't he going to hurt the Republicans? No.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: Among the MAGA group and among Republicans, he has well,
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: with MAGA, it's 98% approval. With Republicans, it's 92% approval.
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: And midterms, a lot of midterm elections are just getting
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: your base out. So if he can get that base out,
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: they might pull, especially in places like Ohio and Texas,
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: strong Republican places, if he gets the vote out, They
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: can win just on that. So that's why he's out there.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Yeah, but every time he shows up, it just enrages
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: the Democrats. They have the majority of the voters across
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: the country. They're 36 percent. Republicans are 30 percent. And
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: the independents are breaking for the Democrats in every poll.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: The president did a very good thing. He told the
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: masses at all of his rallies, vote by mail if
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: you have to. Remember, previously he was chastising people for
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: voting by mail. He tried to alter the way you
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: vote by mail, but it didn't work. So thank God
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: he decided, encourage everybody to vote by mail, early voting.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: I hope he enters that into the discussion because we
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: know the Democrats do. And you have to use every
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: tool in the toolbox, as he successfully did in 2024
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: at the urging of his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who is
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: the co-chairperson of the RNC. She had a heart-to-heart talk
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: with her father-in-law. She said, look, Dad, The Democrats, look
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: at what they've done. They've used every tool in the toolbox.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: It's hurting us. And as a result of that and
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: other factors, he won all seven battleground states and won
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: the popular vote.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: So you say to yourself, yeah, yeah, use every tool
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: in the toolbox.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: His problem is, is like when he was in Ohio
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: and it was a stark contrast to some of his
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: other lines that he always gets a good response to.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: He brought up the data centers, the data filing centers.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: That's hurting the Republicans in Ohio. It's not true in
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: every state, but definitely Ohio. And he said, hey, look,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: we want them. The crowd was quiet. That should have
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: been an indicator to him. This was a Trump crowd.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: That is hurting the Republicans. Now, there's ways to amend
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: that as you continue on, because he'll be out on
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: the stump. Well, since he started 32 straight days and
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: then he keeps offering. It sounds more like a bribe.
- 1:12:42Speaker 13: Hey.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: If we control the House or the Senate, you'll get
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: $ 5, 000 if we keep control. Look, you're never going to
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: get everybody to agree to that. That's never going to happen.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: So I think he's got to focus on affordability, cost
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: of living, what most people are talking about, and give
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: people an idea of what's going to happen in Iran
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: because people have no idea.
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: No, I think he's absolutely correct when he says, Look,
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: I wish he didn't attack Iran when he did. I
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: do support the invasion of Iran. I think it's great.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: It's not really an invasion, the bombing of Iran. I
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: think it's wonderful for the world. I think it's going
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: to end up being, when history looks back on it,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: that it was a positive move. But the timing of
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: it was bad for the Republican Party. It was just
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: horrible for the Republican Party. And it is hurting them.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Not only is the war hurting them, but also the
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: prices and the price of gas. And I think he's
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: correct when he says Iran's going to cut a deal
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: with us right after the midterms. It sounds like they're suffering.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: They're dying right now. They're getting no oil out right now,
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: at least through the Straits of Hormuz, maybe through land
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: to China, but they're not getting anything out. And so
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: they're dying. And so our Everything now is the cost
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: of living because of that, as Curtis just said. And
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: the ridiculous part about it is if you look at
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: every other factor in the economy, it's booming. Jobs are
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: doing great and manufacturing is doing great and the GDP
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: is doing great and the unemployment rate is low. And inflation,
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: even though it's a little higher than it should be,
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: is still way lower than it was under past presidents before.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: And it's almost down to the mark that they want
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: it at. All that's happening, but nobody cares. Nobody cares.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: All they care about is what do I pay for
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: groceries and what do I pay for gas? Well, it's
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: the thing you see almost every day. Oh, yeah, I
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: get it.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: The other thing is, look, he's got a limited amount
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: of time, and he's got to keep his friends and
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: not alienate them. So there were two things he did
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: over the weekend that I said, oh, my God. Tom Cotton— U.S.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Senator in Arkansas is about as loyal a Trump supporter
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: as you can get. With the death of Lindsey Graham,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: he's pretty much taken over that position. But he disagrees
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: with Trump on turning the clock back, right?
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: I know, the daylight savings tax.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: So what does Trump do? He reaches into the playbook
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: of 2016 when he gave out Lindsey Graham's personal cell
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: phone number. But Lindsey Graham was a critic then. Tom
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: Cotton is not a critic. So he gives out his
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: personal telephone number.
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: Now, Look, why?
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: And the other thing is, you couldn't have a network
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: more favorable to you than Fox Network, right?
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Fox News. He started attacking Fox and Friends.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: You're not promoting my rallies enough. You're not covering the
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: full events.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: Why? To me, they're small things.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: I know, but the point is, it distracts from the
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: overall message.
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: No, only when somebody brings it up, and like you're
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: bringing it up, and not many other people have.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: The one thing he ought not do, because it'll just
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: energize the base of the Democrats to come out in
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: incredible numbers.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: Is he keeps saying to the crowds, they're going to
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: impeach me if they take over the House.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: If they're going to impeach me, yeah, you tell that
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: to the Democrats, it's salivating. Oh, I'm going to make
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: a joke.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: I think they already know that. Listen, he can't hide that,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: and he's got to get out of his base. And
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: if you notice now, every one of the candidates, they
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: must have researched this. All the money is going to
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: be going into, yes, there are some problems in the country,
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: but do you want these freaks in? I mean, the
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: communists and the socialists. All they keep talking about over
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: and over is about how weird the other side is.
- 1:16:39Speaker 21: Ohio is going to prove that America does not belong
- 1:16:42Speaker 21: to those who hate it.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: America belongs to those who love it.
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: They're going to talk more and more about the fact
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: that many of the Democrats are down on the thought
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: of America. And there's quotes on this. And so you're
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: going to hear that a lot. Is it enough? Is
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: it going to work? I don't know. But that is
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: their playbook right now. Hold on. That's definitely their playbook
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: right now.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: Why doesn't he just say the Republicans are for the USA,
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: the DSA isn't? You know, something simple.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: Well, they have. I mean, there's all kinds of ways
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: they've been saying this.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: I know, but you know something? It's not working. It's
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: not working. And amongst Latinos... His numbers are dropping dramatically
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: because of ICE. And the face of ICE, his own
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: Hispanic Republicans are starting to give him blowback.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: He said, Mr.
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: President, you were doing so well with Hispanics. You're down
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: a 29% nationally, which affects midterm elections.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Why don't you sometimes look at Donald Trump like you
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: look at Mom Donnie and just have Have some more
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: affection for the president of the United States.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm competing with the president who's met
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: with Mondami three times and had a love fest and
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: always calls him such a handsome man.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: I didn't see him holding hands. And when we come back,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: Taylor Swift on SNL, it was a surprise, a big shocker.
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: And Paul McCartney, remember, played a song at their wedding.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: And now we have some inside information about that. Plus,
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: all this is going to be in the next segment.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: A chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: starring Chaz Palminteri. That's coming up next. Now let me
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: tell you about, I'm always excited to tell you about
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: Life Fact because I believe in this. I have one
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: in my home because I have grandchildren. I bought one
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: for my grandchildren and my daughter because I know how
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: quickly just an everyday experience can turn into an emergency.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: I've covered the news. I've seen this over and over
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: and over and over again. And choking is one of
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: the most common moments that can turn into a life
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: or death situation. It can happen in an instant. And

- 1:19:45Speaker 2: next time it counts. You know, I'm starting to like
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live again. They lost me for a while,
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: although I don't really watch it ever live. I just
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: watch bits from it so I can ignore all the
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: political stuff and a lot of the stuff from the
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: weekend update, but last night, apparently Dakota Johnson, who's now
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: hosted it several times. Cause she's good. She really is
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: a good guest host. She was on last night and
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: I'll set up the bit she did in the beginning.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: She started talking about how she gets depressed all the
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: time and she needs help from friends. And that one
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: of her top therapists is Taylor Swift, that she relies
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: on Taylor Swift all the time. And while she's telling
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: this story, Taylor Swift makes a surprise appearance. And there's
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: uproarious applause. You can barely hear anything that Dakota is
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: saying at that point. But here is when they both
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: get out and talk together. Ladies and gentlemen, my literal therapist.
- 1:20:52Speaker 6: I'm not your therapist, actually.
- 1:20:53Speaker 19: You just show up once a week at my house
- 1:20:55Speaker 19: with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I
- 1:20:57Speaker 19: want some.
- 1:20:58Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I have manners.
- 1:21:00Speaker 8: And then you flop on my couch and overshare, and
- 1:21:03Speaker 8: every so often I just say, damn, that's crazy.
- 1:21:07Speaker 13: Is that not a therapist?
- 1:21:10Speaker 10: And then I go, well, you know, oh, it's getting late,
- 1:21:13Speaker 10: I should probably go to bed.
- 1:21:14Speaker 13: And then you say.
- 1:21:16Speaker 5: Reap over, yay!
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: Yay!
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: So it was a little bit lame. It wasn't as funny.
- 1:21:22Speaker 15: As I think it was.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: It was totally lame. But it got huge applause. Nobody cared.
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: Of course. But did it mean she didn't go out
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: and watch the Las Vegas Raiders lose to her beloved?
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and her Maytag playing tight end. She
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: wasn't in the box. I don't think she goes to
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: the away games.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Thank God she was. I don't think she ever goes
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: to the away games.
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: But the bigger one involved Paul McCartney, who finally acknowledged
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: what had happened in Madison Square Garden when they tied
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: the city up in knots and had the marriage ceremony.
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: Apparently Taylor Swift had asked Paul McCartney as a personal
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: favor to her and her Maytag, that he please sing
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: I Want to Hold Your Hand, the 64 classic that
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: he rarely, if ever, does. And he said, look, I'll
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: tell you what, Taylor. I'll do it as long as
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: you sing along with me and we sing it to
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: your Maytag man. And that's how that came about.
- 1:22:20Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: We have to get video of that or some audio.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: I'm sure there's video somewhere. I just hope it leaks out.
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: I would love to see that. That's an amazing moment.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: That will go down in history. That's an amazing moment. Yeah,
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: it's McCartney and Taylor Swift.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Had enough of Taylor Swift attacking Joe Jonas. This guy,
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: I'm telling you, her husband now, when she divorces him,
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: there'll be four albums dropped attacking him and just incinerating him.
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: I really like Taylor Swift, and I think she's lived
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: a great life.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: When you took on Taylor the first time, the Swifties
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: came at you like a band of bees.
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: I didn't take her on. I was getting upset about
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: the way New York City was treated for the wedding,
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: and somebody raised a great point. And I listened to it,
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: and I thought, you know what? He has a great point.
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: He said, you tell me a bride that doesn't think
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: that day is all about them. And I thought to myself,
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: you're right, I'm holding Taylor Swift to a different standard.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: And so I changed. You should try that every once
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: in a while. Not to blow back from all the Swifties, right?
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Because you're wrong a lot. You should try that every
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: once in a while. Here's our talkbacks. Hey, this whole
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: Cornell thing. Remember Duke Lacrosse? That was all made up. Now,
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: my problem with this is this young lady said she
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: was conscious and it was consensual. when she started this off,
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: and that's why they didn't pursue charges. So now you've
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: got Letitia James. And, by the way, why is Letitia
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: James walking around free? Why hasn't she been charged and convicted, indicted,
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: and put in prison, or at least taken out of
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: that position?
- 1:23:54Speaker 9: Come on.
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: Well, if your whole point is Tish James, forget it.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: It's about Jane Doe. It's not about Tish James or
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: anyone else.
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: And you're right. It was consensual in the beginning, but
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: that doesn't excuse what happened after that.
- 1:24:07Speaker 23: So, Curtis, let me see if I understand this correctly.
- 1:24:10Speaker 23: Did you miss your show with Larry on Friday so
- 1:24:15Speaker 23: you could be holding hands with Mondami? That's why you
- 1:24:19Speaker 23: didn't do the show on Friday? To be with Mondami?
- 1:24:23Speaker 13: What's wrong with you?
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: I know I hurt Larry's feelings because we had consummated
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: our relationship and he thinks I cheated on him. But
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: that was well after the show. I was just returning
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: from Binghamton University. So, Larry, no disrespect. I didn't cheat
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: on you. I'm happy for the two of you. You
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: really do. You look wonderful together.
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: But we'll discuss that up next. Yeah, that's exactly right.
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: Now let's give away some tickets.
- 1:24:50Speaker 4: Sonny, trust me.
- 1:24:50Speaker 6: That man can't trust anybody.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: The sooner you know that, the better.
- 1:24:54Speaker 6: How many times do I have to tell you?
- 1:24:55Speaker 18: People don't respect him.
- 1:24:56Speaker 6: They fear him.
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: There's a big difference.
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: You want to be somebody?
- 1:25:00Speaker 18: Be somebody who works for a living and takes care
- 1:25:02Speaker 18: of his family.
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you look away. Ah, I love that monologue from

- 1:25:34Speaker 5: Morning, guys.
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: Sunny today.
- 1:25:35Speaker 16: We'll see a high of 69 degrees. It's the first
- 1:25:37Speaker 16: Monday in October, and that means the Supreme Court is
- 1:25:39Speaker 16: back to work. One of the cases that the justices
- 1:25:43Speaker 16: will hear this term is about climate change. It asks
- 1:25:46Speaker 16: if energy companies have any responsibility in causing it.
- 1:25:50Speaker 17: The Supreme Court is starting a new term, and one
- 1:25:52Speaker 17: of the biggest cases on the docket includes the case
- 1:25:55Speaker 17: being argued today at issue whether local governments have the
- 1:25:58Speaker 17: right to sue oil, gas, and coal manufacturers for the
- 1:26:01Speaker 17: effects of climate change. It's a first-of-its-kind case that could
- 1:26:05Speaker 17: decide whether cities and states have the right to hold
- 1:26:08Speaker 17: energy companies accountable for the expensive impacts of climate change
- 1:26:12Speaker 17: and whether they are owed money to help offset the
- 1:26:14Speaker 17: cost caused by it. Sherry Preston, ABC News.
- 1:26:17Speaker 16: The City Council will hear from tech companies today about
- 1:26:20Speaker 16: the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. The executives who will
- 1:26:24Speaker 16: answer the questions are some of the same ones who
- 1:26:26Speaker 16: were at the White House to talk about AI last week.
- 1:26:29Speaker 16: Senator Chuck Schumer is demanding answers about a nationwide license
- 1:26:33Speaker 16: plate surveillance camera program.
- 1:26:35Speaker 7: Schumer wants more information from the company Flock Safety on
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: what it does with data from its national lookup tool,
- 1:26:40Speaker 7: which lets agencies search camera data. There's also reports of
- 1:26:43Speaker 7: hacked cameras and stolen decryption keys.
- 1:26:46Speaker 18: It logs what your car looks like, exactly when and
- 1:26:50Speaker 18: where you drove past.
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: It keeps a history of your trips. that agencies across
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: the country can reach.
- 1:26:56Speaker 7: Schumer wrote a letter to Flock requesting more details and
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: demanding personal data not tied to crime be deleted from
- 1:27:02Speaker 7: Flock's servers. Flock has deployed its cameras in 49 states.

- 1:28:07Speaker 1: Me and Zoran Mondami getting our flu vaccines side by side.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: Another great reflection of our relationship put together by Tom
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: Cuddy back in March. Larry, I was at the Atlanta
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: Atlantic Antics yesterday. That's the city's largest street festival going
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: from the Barclays Center and downtown Brooklyn all the way
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: to the East River. It was packed, even though it
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: was raining. I know other festivals had less of an attendance.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: but not Atlantic Annex. And to hear from people from
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: time to time, Miss you on Friday with Larry. And oh, yeah, yeah,
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: listen to you guys all the time at 710WOR. Can't
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: be listening to Israel First with that Sid Rosenberg at WABC.
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: That was heartening.
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: And then, of course, as I worked through the crowd,
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: The majority of responses from Gen Zers, millennials and baby
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: boomers were about my sit down with the mayor on
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: Friday late in the morning to receive a flu vaccine
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: shot with the flu season coming. And obviously there was
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: opinions flying fast and furiously. But I would say mostly
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: from that crowd, it was good to see that you
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: had bridged the political divide since I was the Republican
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: in the election period. He was the Democrat, and he
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: won the general election. Yeah, it was nice. It was
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: a nice moment. And I hope people weren't snarky with
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: you at all. I hope not, because your relationships.
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: Are your own business. And I don't know if people
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: were listening at the top of the show, and I
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: want to repeat this because it's really important. I needed
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: to apologize to you. Thank you. I have come after
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: you about your relationship with Zorin Mamdani. And I really
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: didn't understand it because, in my opinion, he has been
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: a failure. You know, he killed 20 people in a snowstorm.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: He couldn't take care of that. He couldn't take care
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: of the trash. All the promises seemed to be going
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: by the wayside. So I couldn't understand. Now I understand.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: Now I get it.
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: Well, that's because you're a senior citizen. Now I understand
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: that the. Flu kills 2,000 senior citizens a year in
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: New York City.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: That's a nice deflection, but that obviously isn't true because
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: here's the moment. The moment was when he said this.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: I can hold your hand. What happened to my face?
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: So you took his hand and you didn't let go.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: You guys were holding hands for a while, and then
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: you said, what if I faint? I mean, you were
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: really overwhelmed with the moment, and you could see it
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: in your face. Your face got flush. It's as if
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: there's been something going on for a while that I
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: didn't understand, and it's none of my business. It's really
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: none of my business. Love is love. I get that,
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: and now I get it, and I apologize. I'm sorry.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: You sound like you're spurned. You know, even though we've
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: consummated our relationship, Larry, I can assure you, I did
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: not cheat on you.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: No, I don't believe that. I don't know. Maybe it's
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: the fake relationship you think that we have, that you
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: have with Zora Mamdani. And that's what I thought all along,
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: except when he reached out and held your hand. And
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: when you didn't pull it away, it was sweet. It
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: was a nice moment at that moment. And both of
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: you look like Your whole expression's his, too.
- 1:31:34Speaker 5: Changed.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: Well, you know, I was motivated by our president, Donald Trump,
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: who on three separate occasions has had a love fest
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: with Zohra Mondami, the most recently in Gracie Mansion, in
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: which every.
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: Time he meets him, he goes, golly, you're such a
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: handsome man.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: So if the president can do that, Larry, why can't
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: I do that as a PSA to try to get
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: people my age or age to take the flu vaccine
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: so that they.
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: Don't unfortunately become ill or die. I get it. I
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: get it. You want to deflect. I get it. I
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: get it. And again, it's none of my business. So
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: I love that you're close with somebody, and I love
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: that that goes on. Natalie, Natalie, he does sound like
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: a scorned lover, does he not? You do sound a
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: little jealous. No, I'm really not. It explains a hell
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: of a lot. I mean, listen, I have said from
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: the beginning, please stop saying that. It's weird. That consummate thing.
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: It's weird, and there's no way. Well, if you listen
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: to the show, you know that I take on Curtis
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: all the time. Well, I will tell you. But not
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: Wazir Mamdani. He doesn't take him on ever. I will
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: tell you one thing.
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: I had a great night coming back from Binghamton University.
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: My wife, Nancy, had driven me there and back. That's
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: a long ride. And as you know, I can't drive
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: because I don't have a license. But she was so affable.
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: We were discussing so many things. And then when I
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: came back from the Board of Health late on Friday,
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: she was stony quiet. Uh-oh, what did I do? You know,
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: this is like husbands and wives. Whenever the other partner
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: is quiet, you know you're in the doghouse, right? Can't
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: be in the cat house in my house. You're in
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: the doghouse. And then it finally came out of her.
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: She goes, you know, you held the mayor's hand. I said, yeah,
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: the whole world knows that now. You've never held my
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: hand in public.
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: That's, oh, my God.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: And I realized in the many public appearances that we've made,
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: because Nancy was side by side with me in many
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: instances in the campaign.
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: She's right.
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: So to try to make it up to her yesterday
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: in the rain at the annual Pulaski Day Parade, because
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: Nancy's all Polish. I had Anthony, my oldest son, and me.
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: I reached out and I held her hand. Do you
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: think I made up for that? I got a lot
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: of making up to do. Yeah, I think you did.
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: Even if she didn't respond to that, she knew you did.
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: And she knew you did. I think that was a
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: really smart move. And by the way, Donald Trump's never
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: held Mom Donnie's hand. But I regress. When we come back,
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: you know, Natalie Migliore did it a little bit. But
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: city council is going to be taking up AI.
- 1:34:10Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: No, don't laugh. Well, they don't even have actual intelligence.
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: I think they can actually solve this problem. I don't
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: think the brainiacs that work in high tech, I don't
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: think the world leaders, I think the New York City
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: Council can handle this.
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: Can't even handle e-bikes and horse-drawn carriages, but they're going
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: to handle it.
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Who else? Who else in the world is
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: going to handle that? We'll talk about that when we
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: come back. So let me get this straight, Larry.
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: The city council, 51 deadbeat slackers who do little, if anything,
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: but always have press conferences. They were supposed to resolve
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: the horse carriage issue, right? One way or the other.
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: That was in the summer. Having done Jack Diddley's squat.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: Who gots?
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: They had, what, about 24 different bills submitted to them,
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: and there were major groups demonstrating at City Hall about
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: these craziness of these e-bikes that are harming people, killing people, unregulated,
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: like demolition derby out there in the streets. They haven't
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: done Jack Diddley squat. But they have decided today, the
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: 51 who lack AI, actual intelligence, that they're going to
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: delve into the sophistication of artificial intelligence. And don't call
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: it super intelligence, Mr.
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: President. Please stop that. Stop that. What are they going
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: to do, Larry? They're going to hold hearings. They have
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: 10 bills that they're talking about doing to make New
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: York and New Yorkers safer from AI. And thank God
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: they have gotten involved. Because I don't think that the
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: brainiacs out in Palo Alto have been able to do anything.
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: And certainly the world leaders that got together, the smartest
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: people in the world. But everybody knows the real bright people.
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: The real smart people are in the New York City Council.
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: So let me just play for you Councilman Oswald Feliz,
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: who is the chair of the Public Safety Committee. This
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: is his idea.
- 1:36:21Speaker 6: One of the most important guardrails to help ensure that
- 1:36:25Speaker 6: these devices are being used responsibly is creating the right
- 1:36:30Speaker 6: to sue these companies directly.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: What is he, a lobbyist for lawyers? Wait a second.
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: You can already sue the companies directly. There's nothing that prevents–
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: they've been sued a lot, a whole lot. And is
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: that your bill? That you want to create a law
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: that allows New Yorkers to now sue the AI companies? Oh,
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: my God. I was completely wrong. They're not brainiacs. They
- 1:36:58Speaker 2: aren't the best and the brightest. They lack AI actual intelligence.
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: Jeez.
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: I immediately went, when I heard him say that, I
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: immediately went and go, you can't sue AI? Are there
- 1:37:10Speaker 2: really laws about that? He goes, no, there's lawsuits constantly.
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: You can sue AI all you want. And so if
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: that's the best they're going to do, this is embarrassing.
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: Well, you know, we do have a downtown campus for Google.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: They've spent millions and millions of dollars to develop it.
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: They're one of the many companies trying to develop AI products.
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: I hope they bring them up as an example of
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: what are you going to do? This is a national issue.
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: Maybe the state can do something. But what can you
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: do locally? You're going to have a kill switch? I
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: wish we had a kill switch to stop the nonsensical
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: debate that sometimes takes place on the floor of the
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: city council.
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: You know exactly what happened. Hey, AI is becoming big.
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about AI. We should do something. We should
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: have public hearings. And they have no power. They have
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: no power. And could you imagine when you are, let's
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: just say, at Meadow or you're at Elon Musk's company,
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: you're at X, and you get chosen to go and testify?
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: At the New York City Council, they ain't getting the
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: best and the brightest. They're not getting Zuckerberg. They're not
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: getting Musk. And so all these people have to go
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: there today and listen to these idiots. ask questions.
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: This strikes me as a group of people who have
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: attention deficit disorder. They talk about one problem and never
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: resolve it. And then the next headline, and they talk
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: about the problem and never resolve it. And now all
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: of a sudden the headlines, obviously internationally are AI, artificial intelligence.
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: And they'll talk about it and they'll never resolve it because,
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: as you said, they can't.
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: They don't have the power to resolve it.
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: So how about getting back to the work of the people?
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: You know, average things. Well, we were discussing the other
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: day before I left to Binghamton, $ 528, 000 that the mayor
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: wants to spend to rehab an apartment in NYCHA.
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: Like, where's the money going to come from? How about
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: discussing that? I get it. But I have to give
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: Oswald Feliz, the councilman, some credit. Because already, already he's
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: done something. You're allowed to sue AI now. Did you
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: know that? He mentioned it, and now it actually happened. Well,
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: the talk back in the morning and winner of the
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt had
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: a song to sing for the Mamdani and Sliwa flu

- 1:39:39Speaker 14: Curtis and Mamdani sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love.
- 1:39:46Speaker 14: Then comes marriage. Then comes little Curtis in a baby carriage.
