• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, before we start, I have to tell you, Larry
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and Natalie and all of our listeners, you know, I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: roam the streets in the wee hours in the morning.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Who do you think I saw going to work this morning?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Who's that? Harry Styles. No, no, no, no. He wouldn't
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: be up there. Dr. Gil Lederman. Really? Yeah, I'm at
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the coffee truck getting a cup of coffee. You see
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: my coffee right here, right? With the old Greek cup there.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And who's walking down the street? It's Dr. Gil Lederman.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: He starts early in his office.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Early.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: How early are you talking about? What time was this?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I think he opens his office by 6. I mean,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I've gone there before, early in the morning. But he
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed. We're having a conversation. Like 4.30, right? Yeah.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I'm having my cup of coffee before I came here.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So I just want to give a shout-out to Dr. Gil.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But again, as I'm waiting for my coffee and everything else,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: what do you think people are talking to me about?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: What do you think about Dolly? Dolly Parton? Why she
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: was so great? She was so wonderful. And normally... You know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in a place like New York City, when you're walking
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: around at 4 in the morning with emotionally disturbed homeless people,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: people who are, like, really angry that they have to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: get up and go to work, nothing negative about Dolly.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I have yet to detect anybody saying anything negative about
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: We learned a couple of things since yesterday, and one
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: that's getting a lot of attention and may be the
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: most fascinating is that she has a secret song that's
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: going to be released.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: In what, 20 years? 2045? Listen to this.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: You have a secret song locked away in Dollywood that
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: will be released in 2045.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: That's the truth. No, seriously. We do a lot of
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: things at Dollywood, and one year we.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Thought about that.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: They asked me if.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: I would write a song that nobody would ever hear.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: I'll be dead.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: Gone.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I might not be, because I'll be 99.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You know me. I might still be hopping around.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you'll be 99.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You know me. That makes it sad, doesn't it?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But anyway, there's going to be a new song by
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Dolly Parton out in 2045.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but see, when you said that. I wasn't paying
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: full attention. I thought you were talking about the secret
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: sauce of McDonald's, you know, Ray Kroc for the Big Mac,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the Mac sauce. I got it. Why would
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you think that? Well, because I was, remember, McDonald's night manager,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I was told you only use the secret sauce, the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Mac sauce on the Big Macs, and you never give
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: away the ingredients. Never. You take that to your grave. Oh,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: do you know it? Sometimes. Yes, but I will never
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: reveal it, although you can buy tubs of it in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: supermarkets now, which is so ridiculous.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And you talked about her, something else that I found yesterday,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you talked about her yesterday, and we both did, about
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: how she never got into politics, ever. As a matter
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of fact, if she was ever invited to anything she
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: thought might be political at all, she said no. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: here she is in an interview when she's being pressed
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: on politics. We have a president of the United States
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: who said those things on that bus.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: I'm not addressing that. I do not get into that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Of course I have my opinion about everybody and everything.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: But I learned a long time ago, keep your damn
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: mouth shut if you want to stay in show business.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I'm not in politics. I'm an entertainer.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And yet you're also a role model.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: That's why I don't... talk about people. So if you
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: are deciding you may want to ask me something more serious, don't,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: because I'm not.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Going to ask.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Well, you can ask, but I might still tell you
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: where to put it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, there's nobody like her. She could get
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: away with that. Somebody else would sound angry and nasty
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: by saying, nope, not going to answer it. She just
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: sounded adorable and endearing. I just can't take it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: How can I be Dolly?
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: I want to be her.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Well, go to Dollywood. Why don't you go to Dollywood?
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: No, seriously? I never thought of going. I'm not a
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: music person in the first place, but I am going
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: to go. I definitely am going to go. You know
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: they broke the website? You could not get on it
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: the day she passed away. So many people were jumping on.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: And my daughter and her friends want to go.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, really?
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: She's like, yeah, we love her.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I wonder how many people feel the exact same way
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: you feel. You answered the question a second ago by
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: saying that the website was jammed up.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: But I'd love to hear from people. If anybody else
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: out there was inspired by this to go to Dolly World,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: to listen to some Dolly Parton songs, you just go
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback. You
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: could win a Curtis Lee, when Larry Menti in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: morning t-shirt. That's going to be awarded every day to
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: our favorite talk back in the morning. And don't forget,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the best talk back of the week takes on the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Sea Crane Radio. Sea Crane Radio is to deliver the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: reception and clarity you deserve.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And you know what's amazing? Not only a great businesswoman,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a great philanthropist, started Dolly World, so many other things.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: In the midst of the lockdown and pandemic, coming up
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: with the money for the vaccine research that was critical
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to saving lives. We can go on and on and on.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But she knew early on for her to be accepted,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that part of her could not be revealed. She had
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to have that self-deprecation, the wigs, the platinum wigs, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: six-inch stiletto heels that oftentimes made her look like the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: madam of a brothel. Like, remember that movie she was
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in with Burt Reynolds when she was the madam of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the brothel? I'm trying to remember the name of that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That was a great movie. She did so many great movies.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: That's right, right. Whorehouse of Texas. I mean, And she
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: understood that. And that was her path. And I'm saying
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to myself late last night, who's comparable? Because that was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a different era. You don't have to be that way
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: any longer. But who is comparable? And I said, right
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in our backyard. I love Lucy. Lucille Ball. She came
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: from Jamestown, New York, little town upstate. Poor family. At
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the age of 14, she was hanging out with a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: greaser at the time. He was like 21 years old. Now, imagine,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: she's 14, he's 21. The family is saying, we've got
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to get her out of here. It's like she's with
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the Fonz of Jamestown, New York, if there was even
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a Fonz. And they said, what do you want to do, Lucy?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I want to be a chorus girl. I want to dance.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I want to sing. I have all this talent. Well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you've got to go to New York City. So she
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: goes to New York City. And right away, you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the teacher who's teaching her, you know, acting and dancing
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and all that says, you got to have an angle.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: You can't be bright. They're not going to accept you.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You're a bright young lady. You got to be ditzy.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You got to be comedic. And by the way, everybody
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: here has either blonde hair or brown hair. She had
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: brown hair at the time. Try being a redhead. There
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: aren't that many redheads in show business. So, boy, she
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: was out there. She had that chorus girl. She became
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a B-grade movie starlet in Hollywood in all those B movies.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: She never made it to the A stage. And then
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: she met Desi Arnaz, you know, the band leader, the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Cuban band leader. Back then, band leaders were like, oh,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: my God, they were the big thing. They were like
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the Harry Styles at the time. And Desi Arnaz had
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: quite the following. So CBS, they're just getting involved in TV.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: She goes, I have this idea. Me and my husband,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Desi Arnaz, the band leader, you know, we talk about
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in our home. No, no, no. America is not going
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to go for this guy who has this thick accent
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: who's Cuban. No, no, no, no. We'll go with an
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: American guy to do that. No, I'm not going to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: do it. I'm going to take it on the road.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And she went on the road and it was received
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: really well in Vaudeville. And she comes back to CBS.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They said, Lucy, we told you. no we ain't doing
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it with Desi Arnaz America will not go for that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: accent and the guy from Cuba she says well guess
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what then we're not going to do it and he
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: thought about it and thought about it and they folded
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just like remember when Dolly Parton was approached by Elvis
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Presley and his manager Colonel Parker and they wanted to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: use her song and they didn't want to give her
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the rights you know say you should be honored you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: know Elvis you know blue suede shoes wants to do
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and she was honest no no no but that's my
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: song Those are my rights. And she wouldn't give him
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the song. So all this stubbornness leads to something. We
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: saw it with Stallone and Rocky. He wrote the script.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Hollywood said, no, no, we don't want you to do it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: He said, well, then you can't have the script. Chaz Palminteri,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Bronx Tale. We don't want you to do it. We
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: want you to do it. And yet, if you hold
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: out for what you believe in, there's success. And then
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: she goes on number one sitcom in America, I Love Lucy.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Her husband is cheating on her like there's no tomorrow.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He's seen with every starlet imaginable. So she goes, I'll
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: fix your wagon. So they start Desilu Productions, right? She
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: divorces him. That's it. Kicks him out. Said, I had
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it with you. Do you know they created Mission Impossible,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Star Trek? So many shows. It was her. It was her.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: She devised having more than one camera on set. She
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: was brilliant, but that never came out in terms of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: her acting, her dancing, her performance as America's sweetheart, Lucille Ball,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the person you wanted to be next door, to be
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: your next door neighbor, the redhead, the ditzy redhead. Somewhat
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: similar in terms of the rise. And bulletproof to criticism.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Bulletproof to criticism as Dolly Parton was. Look, Dolly Parton
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in the heart of the Deep South with the Holy Rollers,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the Southern Baptists, embraced the LGBTQ community and didn't get
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: any blowback. Most drag queens, if you ask them who
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you want to dress up as, they'll tell you Dolly Parton.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Imagine in the heart of the South. You could do
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that in Greenwich Village. You could do that in West Hollywood.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Try doing that in the hills of Tennessee with the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Holy Rollers up there. Yeah, at that point, she was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: so big at that point, though.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's too big to fail almost.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: that you can't go after somebody when they're that big
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: and as you pointed out she was that self-deprecating no
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that's a that's a pretty good one uh if you
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: can think of any others someone else that has been
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: universally loved and beyond criticism Lucille Ball is a great one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe you have another one. Give us a talkback. Go
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: to the iHeartRadio app and look for the talkback section.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: We're going to be playing them next. We're also going
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to be talking about, well, they say these celebrity deaths
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: come in threes, right? Well, the very next day, Tim Curry,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the actor from many movies, Home Alone 2, he was
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: on Broadway for a long time with, what was it,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Little House of Horrors? Did I get that one wrong?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: That's not it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: You mean Little Shop of Horrors? Yeah, that's not it. No,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I know. The horror picture show, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. You see, I know, Larry, you never went
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: 12 midnight to your local theater.
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: I did.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I did. Rocky Horror?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Which character did you mimic?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't mimic characters. I watched other people mimic characters.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to watch the event. But I've gone
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: a couple of times. A couple of times?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, there are things you are learning here
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: about Larry.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Because once you go, you've got to take someone else
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: to go. You have to say, oh, you've got to
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: see this. You've got to see this. And so, yeah, no,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I've been a couple of times.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You ever been? One time. Okay. One time only. Why
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are you making that face? I'm just suggesting that you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: like that artsy-fartsy stuff.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: It wasn't artsy-fartsy at all. It was a bunch of
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: kids spraying water and shooting each other with stuff and
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: yelling out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: During the show. It's okay, Larry. It's okay. You're getting weird.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Plus a chance to see Chicago at age 25. Everybody
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: knows Tim Curry. Even those who may not know the name,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you know Tim Curry. You've seen him before. He's a
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: British actor. He's got swagger. He's got this big Cheshire
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: cat smile. He starred, and most people know him from this,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, if you.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Remember, as Dr. Frankenfurter.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: It was a bomb when it first hit, and then
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: it It came along with a cult following, and people
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: that went to see it used to have to bring props.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: They'd bring rice. They'd bring newspapers to cover their heads
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: when it's raining, water pistols so you could make it
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: rain in the theater, rubber gloves, toilet paper, all kinds
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: of props. It became an event, and it was played
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: in movie theaters across the country. And here is Tim
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Curry prancing and preening as Frankenfurter. You can almost see him,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: can't you?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: How many times did you go to Rocky Horror Night?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Probably four. Pansexual, huh?
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I guess every single movie that you go to see,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: if it's about something, you must be that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Just asking. Just inquiring. Yeah, that's so weird. I'm a man.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: He was also in Home Alone, if you remember. He
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: was the desk attendant and the concierge who was on
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: to the little boy that was there without his parents.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going out to look for him.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: What? With all due respect, madam, your son is lost
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: in one of the biggest cities in the world.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Could you stay out of this place? As you wish.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And then he gets slapped by her for still going out.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: He was in 30 film roles, not just the Rocky
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Horror Picture Show.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He was in Clue, as we said, Home Alone 2.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He was in Spamalot.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And he was on Broadway many, many times in Amadeus
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: and My Favorite Year. He was an actor's actor and
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: loved by just everybody. And then he suffered a stroke
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: in 2012. and he wasn't able to do any of
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the film roles or the stage work, and he slowly
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: really was paralyzed in most of his body. And they
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: did an interview with him a few years ago, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: he's in his wheelchair and his head's over, and they
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: asked him about death.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't fear death. I tried to avoid it, as
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I think we all do, but I suspect that in
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the end I will welcome it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So 80 years old, coming on the heels of Dolly Parton,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: unfortunately dead also at 80. And as you pointed out
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: earlier when we came on the air, these things happen
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: in threes. Who's the next person that's 80 that unfortunately
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: is going to keel over and leave this plane?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: That would be freaky if it was three 80-year-olds. That
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: would really be strange because I've never really bought into
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: that they come in threes because sometimes there's four and
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: they discount the last.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: One to make it true.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: But if it's three people 80 years old.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: That's bizarre. Does Polymarket have any prediction on that? They
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: predict on everything.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Even the Little League World Series in Williamsport. I will
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: have to take a look. All right, so we got
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: some talkbacks.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a layup.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: Person that doesn't get the recognition, but is outstanding. Person,
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: her comedic talent, while maintaining her femininity as Lucy did,
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: but also is sticking to her convictions, looking Hollywood right
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: in the eye and telling exactly what she thinks is
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: what Miss Patricia Heath.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Patricia Heaton, man, that's really a reach.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that she has such fans. We talked about, obviously,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton leads the way. I said Lucille Ball in
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: my lifetime, but Patricia Heaton? She's the mom and everybody
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: loves Raymond. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Here's the thing about
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Patricia Heaton. It's a good call.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I get why you're saying it, but she hasn't reached
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the stardom of Lucille Ball.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: She hasn't reached the stardom. of Dolly Parton. That's the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: only reason it's a bit of a reach.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Doesn't federal law supersede state law and local law? So
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: if the federal law says that Bruce Blakeman can cooperate
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: with ICE, isn't he in the right? I'm so confused
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: by this.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't always. It's kind of laid out in
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: the Constitution. Anything that's not spelled out specifically for the
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: federal government to take care of goes to the states.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And that would be law enforcement. Well, excuse me. On
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Truth Social, the president makes it very clear with all
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: capitals when he puts it out there, right? It's pretty
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: clear to me.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. Yeah, it's clear to him.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: But it's going to go to the Supreme Court if
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: they try to stop it. The weird thing is he
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: just won a case with the Supreme Court that you
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: would think he would have lost when it comes to elections.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: And because elections are handled by the states, not federal.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And yet he wrote an executive order. And so far,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court has backed him up. So it could
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: go to the Supreme Court.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Bruce Blakeman later on, later on in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: His press conference yesterday on that very issue. Now let's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: get the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Showers becoming heavier as we head through the day. Chance
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: for severe storms in a high of 80 degrees. Well,
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: it isn't too bad right now. But with that rain
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: in the forecast and those storms and the chance for
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: hail and high winds, the city's activated its storm emergency plans.
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: If you live in flood-prone areas, especially in basement apartments,
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: make sure you have a plan to leave if need
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: be and make sure that plan includes your pets. The
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: search is on for a suspect. Police say stabbed an
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: MTA worker in Times Square.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: The attack happened inside the 42nd Street Times Square station
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: around 10.30 p.m.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Monday night.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: A man got into an argument with a 30-year-old on-duty
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: MTA worker. It's not clear what that was about. He
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: then stabbed the worker in his left arm. He was
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: treated at a hospital. His attacker jumped onto a southbound
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: 1 train. Police have released photos of the man. They're
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: asking anyone with info to call them or the Crimestoppers line.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: It's been nearly 25 years since the September 11th attacks,
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: and now the man authorities say orchestrated them is headed
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: to trial. A military judge has set the proceedings for
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to begin in June of 2028. At
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: least 165 bodies have been recovered from the flooding along
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: the border of Nepal and Tibet. Hundreds are still missing.
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: The State Department says that includes dozens of Americans. Well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: there are no longer any legal holds on President Trump's
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: executive order limiting mail-in voting.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: The bottom line at this stage is that this executive
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: order that seeks to put the Postal Service as the
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: mail ballot police, something never done before, to make them
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: the ultimate verifier of who's eligible and not eligible to
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: be voting through the mail, is uninhibited today.
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: It's ABC's Devin Dwyer.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Looking for love?
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: You might find it tonight at Citi Field when the
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: Mets host Singles Night, when they host the Brew Crew.
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: The Yankees beat Houston and the Mets fell to Milwaukee
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: last night. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Up next, Bill Gates comes out with a full interview
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in which he talks about the dangers of AI, but
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: also the benefits of AI as this topic just keeps coming.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Heating up and heating up.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And our iHeartRadio Music Festival, presented by Capital One, is back,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: featuring live performances by what a lineup. Benson Boone, the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney Wilson, and much more.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: September 18th and 19th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: It takes two nights. It's all in one stage. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: while the world is listening on iHeartRadio, you could be there.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Three chances every weekday for you to win your trip
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: for two plus a thousand dollars in spending money. Your
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: next chance to text and win happens at nine o'clock
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: this morning on 710WOR.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: So yesterday when we left the airwaves, Larry, you were
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: continuing to engage some of our listeners in a conversation
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: about the AI data filing centers. I was concerned that
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You were talking to chatbots.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: By the way, many have written letting you know they're
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: not chatbots.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: They said if you would ever respond, they could tell
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you themselves. That's true. You have the patience that I don't.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And thank you for doing that due diligence of responding
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to people who send in the emails or text you
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: or end up meeting you and having a conversation about
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: what is a growing issue that now everyone agrees is
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: will be one of those issues that has an impact
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: on these midterm elections, the growth of the data filing
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: centers that are important for AI to exist. It's just,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: as you've taken the position, Larry, and you've nobly presented it,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we call it in Italian, mezzo, mezzo, poco, poco, half
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and half. You look at the benefits... But you also say,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: but not in people's residential neighborhoods and backyards, which is
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a very honorable thing to do. But I'm assuming you're
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: still getting people who are claiming that, Larry, don't succumb
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to all the red Chinese propaganda out there.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: And the weird thing, it's the majority. And I never
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: would have thought that because when you see this uprising
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: in the communities and when you see all the news
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: pieces done across the country by local news stations, these.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: People are really upset.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: And so I get the feeling that a lot of
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: the people that are writing to me aren't affected by it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: They don't have one coming into their community. They don't
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: have one next door. The people that are really affected
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: by it are upset.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So yesterday, the man from Microsoft weighed in on it,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates, most synonymous of late with the Epstein files.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: As you know, he was behind a close to a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: congressional hearing about his long-term friendship with Jeffrey Epstein that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: cost him his marriage. And by the way, he was probably,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I would say, at his mansion, the biggest mansion in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: all of Manhattan, Jeffrey Epstein's mansion, at least a dozen
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: times that he acknowledged. So something was going on. He
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: just killed his credibility before. To some. But let's face it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: When it comes to AI, he's invested billions as others
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: have in Silicon Valley. It's a race to be number
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: one or two because they've acknowledged in Silicon Valley that
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: there will be a bubble. And if you happen to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: be three, four, five, you're gone. Yeah, he's one of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the preeminent voices on high tech and on AI. Absolutely.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: He started Microsoft. But the headlines are a little disconcerting.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It says AI warning. Bill Gates gives AI warning. Even
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I bought into that until I read the full story
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and I said, no, no. This is more measured. This
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: is more like what Larry Mendte has said. He first
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: pointed out the bad. He says there will be surging
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: unemployment and public distrust will grow as a result of it,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: like we have now, public distrust in these data filing centers, AI,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: because the PR for them has been horrible. And it's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: like 75, 25, 80, 20, depending on what poll you look,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: regardless of whether you're Republican, Democrat, or independent. So he
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: points out the negatives. But then what you have to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: read later on in the article, he says he points
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: out all the positives, which you don't get from the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: headline of Bill Gates. AI will accelerate advances in clean energy, agriculture,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and obviously health. We talked about that. So when you
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: complete you do an analysis of what Bill Gates said,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: who's one of the leaders of this movement. He's telling
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: you the good and the bad and his way of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: reining it in. He says, Hey, we got to have
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: some guardrails, whether it's international or it's within the U
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: S even if AI can perform all the tasks that
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: we think it can, there should be a category human reserved.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: That means only humans can do this. Even if, uh,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: let's say an AI robot could do it better. Uh,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: This should be a tax on AI. Some have said
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that's how you bring that debt down, a tax on
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: AI usage. That would be you, Larry. You'd have to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: pay a tax because you like using AI. I use
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it every day. And tax the robots. And coming on
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the heels of what we saw in Red China, where
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that robot beat Usain Bolt's record for the 100-meter dash, remember?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Just running down there. And you see them marching around.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: But some of them are collapsing. Some of them are falling.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: So we realize it's a work in progress. I thought
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this was a very well thought out statement of somebody
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: who is heavily invested in this industry and could easily
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: have just put a positive slant, although the headline suggests
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a negative slant and it's really not.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Well, there was some alarmist in it. I mean, the
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: things you pointed out, you're absolutely correct in that he
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: was saying, we just have to slow down a little
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: bit and we have to put some guardrails on it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: We got to protect human jobs.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: But when he.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Talks about having some type of, global understanding, some global
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: police to make sure that nobody gets carried away is ridiculous.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a nice concept. That ain't ever going
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: to happen. And he's saying that. And he also said
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: at one point, Self-regulation on the most dangerous tool ever invented.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: No thanks. Yeah, that statement makes a lot of sense.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: What's the alternative? What exactly is the alternative? Because if
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: we slow down, like he's talking about, he is talking
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: about slowing down a little bit. If we slow down,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: then somebody else is going to get it faster and
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: will have an advantage over us. And there are so
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: many bad actors in the world who aren't going to
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: pay attention to any of this if they get a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: hold of AI.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: You know, this is interesting because Microsoft is not one
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: or two in this. So if you slow it down.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it gives Microsoft an opportunity to keep up with the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: top two American players in the field. Sometimes it's always
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a little self-serving out there. Yeah, let's slow it down
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: because we're behind in this race. We've invested billions, which
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Microsoft has, but they're not one or two. So if
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: you ain't one or two, ultimately it's going to be
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Red China versus the top two American companies, and they're
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: going to fight for all of the business out there.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: This may be a little self-serving. Let's slow it down
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: so we have a chance to catch up.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: I will say this. I mean, a lot of what
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: he said, as you pointed out, makes a lot of sense.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think a whole lot of
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: it is self-serving. And a lot of it is so alarmist,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: it gets to the point of being ridiculous. We can't
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: put guard rails on the whole world. It's just impossible.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: We're not going to be able to do that. There's
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: never going to be a come together of China and
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Russia and ourselves and the EU to say, hey, we're
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: going to slow this down a little bit because how
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: would you believe anybody? And that's what he's talking about
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: on this. It's just never, ever going to work. We
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: have to get AI up and running as fast as possible.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: without inflicting harm on U.S.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Citizens? Well, you talked about will it ever, ever, ever.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Will Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9-11 attack
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: on the 25th anniversary, ever end up getting the death penalty? Well,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: we got some information on that and his dreaded colleagues
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: up next. But ladies and gentlemen, something that everybody has
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to be cogent of, regardless of your politics or where
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you stand on AI and the data filing centers, is
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: there was a news item a while back. Remember in Minnesota,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a guy walks up to a door, walks in, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: kills a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in their own home.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: They end up finding a notebook inside. There was a
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: handwritten list of 11 websites, none of them having to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: do with weapons. They were data broker sites and people's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: search sites. That's how he was able to get that
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: home address of the couple. And more importantly, how he
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: was able to get their information, emails, phone numbers, even
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a picture of their front door. So once he got there,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: he knew he was at the right location. And you say, well,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: there has to be something illegal about that. No, there's not.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: It's not illegal. They can gather up the information. They
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: can bundle it. They can sell it. They don't care
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: who buys it. But you got to protect yourself from
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: becoming part of that bundle. And the way you do
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: it is with Incogni. Get a pen and pen and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: write it down. I've done it. I-N-C-O-G-N-I. It forces data
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: brokers and people's search sites to delete you. And then
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: they keep checking up on it. They're not naive. They
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: play whack-a-mole. They know it'll creep back. Incogni has scrubbed
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: my info from over 400 sites. And I didn't do
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: anything at all. You lock your doors every night. Tonight,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: lock down your address and let your friends and relatives
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: know they should go to incogni.com slash Curtis now and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: you'll get a 60% off on the price of incogni.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I dot com slash Curtis. larry natalie we're just
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: days away from the 25th commemoration of the attack on
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: 9-11 engineered by osama bin laden and al-qaeda that did
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: so much damage destruction the killing the maiming and the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: scars that remain unhealed wounds of many who carry on
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And they heard yesterday that the mastermind of that attack,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, I think most people just assume this
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: guy's dead. Well, he's been on Gitmo with his terrorist
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: al-Qaeda guys, it seems, ever since he was captured in
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Pakistan years ago. He's been waterboarded. I think even Dick
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Cheney went out there to waterboard him. They've done everything
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to this guy. He dyed his beard with henna. He's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: got a red beard now. And I remember when all
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: of a sudden they decided he would not be up
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: for the death penalty. In fact, it would be triple
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: life without parole. Families were not happy. The defense secretary
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: at the time, Lloyd Austin, in the Biden administration revoked that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: He said, absolutely not. We're going for the death penalty
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: on him and the other guys. And now apparently that's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: back on.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: But.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: That won't take place, that military tribunal, until 2028. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: just to show you, Larry, the synergy between the first
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: attack of the World Trade Center in 1993, that was
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the attempt to make Tower No. 1 collapse into Tower No.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: 2 and kill as many people as possible. The mastermind
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of that attack was his nephew, Ramzi Youssef. I know.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to believe this trial when I see it.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I've been you know, this gets emotional for me because
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I spent so much time with the families of the
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: loved ones doing story after story after story. How many
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: times have we heard this guy's going to go on trial?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: How many times? And now it's going to be in 2028?
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Where is Colonel Jessup with the
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: code red? That's what we need. We need this guy
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to be dead in his cell. And I can't believe
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: how long it's over two decades to get justice for
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: this guy. We should be ashamed of ourselves. No other
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: criminal justice system in the world, no other government in
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: the world would put up with.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: And it's just him and a few of the other
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: terrorists left on Gitmo. The rest have either died or
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: been sent back. None of them are left except for Ramji,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Now, Ramji Youssef was eventually
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: caught in the Philippines where he said, you know, fail once,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you can do it again. He's the guy, remember who?
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Leased the Ryder truck in Jersey City. They packed it
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: full of explosives, rode it into Tower No. 1, blew
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it up, hoped it would collapse into Tower No. 2.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: The only reason they ever found out it was Ramzi Youssef,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he went back to collect the project.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know. But
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: let's stay with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for a second, because
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: this is emotional to a lot of the families this day.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: This is important to them.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Many of them have died waiting for this.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: I've spent so much time with these families, and all
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: they want is justice. And they've now waited 25 years.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: It just makes me furious that we're now talking about June.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: 5th, 2028. Seriously? Seriously?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Just kill this guy. We know what he did. We
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: know the horror he brought to our nation. It was
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: one of the most heinous attacks in the history of
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: the world, and he's still breathing the air?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: And these families now have to get their hopes up again.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: The ones that are still living have to get their
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: hopes up again that finally they're going to get justice.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I'll believe it when I see it, because if the
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: rug gets pulled under their feet again, every elected official,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: everybody in the Justice Department should be fired. This is
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: a huge national embarrassment. Yeah, it's gone back and forth.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely correct.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: He's the guy who went to Osama bin Laden and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: sold him this idea of planes crashing in to the towers.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: He sold them because Osama bin Laden said, well, your
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: nephew failed. Why should I believe in you? And then
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: he laid out the documents and he said, okay, go ahead.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: And from then on, it was full speed ahead. And
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: we still, even though the 9-11 Commission said he was
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, there still is the thought
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that some of the Saudi royal family was involved in
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: aiding and abetting them in this process. Those answers have
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: never come up. But up next.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Can I just say one thing? For all of you
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: listening to this that had family that died, that had
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: a loved one that died, we're thinking about you right now.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: We're thinking about you, and we hope this really happens.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Up next... I'm confused. Maybe John Decker can help us.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Our WOR White House correspondent, the president, posted, Victory... While
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Oman and Iran said we're charging congestion pricing through the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz at 7 o'clock. We'll get the news.
