Hour 2: Tuesday’s primaries Takeaways · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, the primary elections nationally are now over with with
0:05
Speaker 1: three less primaries, the biggest of which was Alaska. And
0:10
Speaker 1: those results, because Alaska is four hours behind this in
0:13
Speaker 1: some areas is they came in kind of late, but
0:19
Speaker 1: it is surprising. Dan Sullivan is the incumbent running for
0:22
Speaker 1: the Republican. Now the Republicans, now, let me point out
0:26
Speaker 1: that they have a different kind of primary. They don't
0:28
Speaker 1: have a Democrat and a Republican primary. They all run
0:31
Speaker 1: in one primary. So we got a little indication of
0:36
Speaker 1: what may happen. And because of what happened with the
0:41
Speaker 1: Democrat getting more votes in the primary than the incumbent Republican,
0:48
Speaker 1: many of the polls changed Alaska from leaning Republican to
0:54
Speaker 1: a toss up, which means there are now six toss
0:58
Speaker 1: up states and what is scary for the Republicans about
1:02
Speaker 1: that is that five of them are now held by Republicans. Remember,
1:07
Speaker 1: they need to win four to take control for real
1:11
Speaker 1: cause of tie, and then the vice president comes down
1:14
Speaker 1: and votes, so they need four of those six. But
1:17
Speaker 1: now Alaska is in play. Mary Peltola, who is a
1:22
Speaker 1: forming former commercial fisherman, which is big in Alaska. She
1:27
Speaker 1: won she was a congressman there. She isn't currently, but
1:30
Speaker 1: she was a congressman member. They have won for the
1:32
Speaker 1: entire state there for a long time, and she turned
1:36
Speaker 1: out to be a wonderful, a great candidate. Dan Sullivan
1:41
Speaker 1: has only been in there for one term, and he
1:44
Speaker 1: always was vulnerable because there is an inching towards equality
1:52
Speaker 1: when it comes to Democratic and Republican voters in Alaska.
1:55
Speaker 1: So this is a little bit scary because in the primary,
2:00
Speaker 1: Boltola got forty eight percent of the vote. Sullivan got
2:05
Speaker 1: forty two point eight percent of the vote. So and
2:09
Speaker 1: remember the first four. It's weird Alaska. Alaska elections are weird.
2:13
Speaker 1: The first four move on. So actually Dan Sullivan Junior
2:17
Speaker 1: is going to move on. However, there is going to
2:20
Speaker 1: be an investigation now to find out if the Democrats
2:23
Speaker 1: set this up just to steal votes away from the
2:26
Speaker 1: real Dan Sullivan, the other Dan Sullivan. So it is
2:31
Speaker 1: a little bit scary now for the Republicans if you
2:33
Speaker 1: were thinking to yourself, and I think the Republicans were
2:36
Speaker 1: thinking this, well, we may lose the House, but we're
2:38
Speaker 1: going to keep the Senate. No, Curtis, the Senate is
2:41
Speaker 1: now definitely in play.
2:43
Speaker 2: This final round of four in the general election will
2:47
Speaker 2: have ranked choice voting see unlike ours in New York City,
2:49
Speaker 2: where people got used to it in the Democratic primary.
2:52
Speaker 2: That helped obviously, Zorhan beat Cuomo because he teamed up,
2:57
Speaker 2: whereas nobody voted for Cuomo and the those who voted
3:01
Speaker 2: him for the first choice. But in Alaska, so you
3:04
Speaker 2: have the four remaining and the brilliance of the former
3:07
Speaker 2: congresswoman Patola. Right before the weekend, she fired her campaign manager,
3:13
Speaker 2: she fired her long term aid advisor who has been
3:17
Speaker 2: with her through thick and thin, because they had accepted
3:20
Speaker 2: the endorsement a form of Vice President Harris. So like
3:25
Speaker 2: in baseball, you know when you hit a home run
3:28
Speaker 2: and you're with the opposite team and they'll throw it
3:31
Speaker 2: back onto the field like a Yankee stadium if a
3:33
Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox hits a home run into left field
3:36
Speaker 2: and the Yankee fans don't want to keep it through.
3:38
Speaker 2: So Patola threw it back to I don't want your endorsement, Harris,
3:42
Speaker 2: which to the Alaska they love people who are independent
3:46
Speaker 2: even though they have a party affiliation, like the president senator.
3:51
Speaker 2: So this gives her an advantage. Boy that was a
3:54
Speaker 2: brilliant move. But really, she gets rid of our lifetime
3:57
Speaker 2: campaign manager, her lifetime campaign a who helped her since
4:02
Speaker 2: she first began her political career because they accepted Harris's
4:06
Speaker 2: endorsement and she threw it back.
4:08
Speaker 1: But this isn't her being phony. She has always been
4:11
Speaker 1: a moderate. She is maybe the most moderate of all
4:14
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the House.
4:16
Speaker 2: So this is.
4:19
Speaker 1: Something that she would normally do. And so if you
4:22
Speaker 1: think this is purely a political move, no, I think
4:25
Speaker 1: that she was upset. I think she was legitimately upset,
4:28
Speaker 1: and especially you don't want the taint, especially in Alaska,
4:32
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris coming in.
4:35
Speaker 2: No, but that'll be so, and millions are going to
4:39
Speaker 2: pour into that election because, as you said, that may
4:43
Speaker 2: ultimately be not me, it may ultimately be Alaska that
4:46
Speaker 2: determines who controls the center.
4:49
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because she's got money.
4:51
Speaker 1: Unlike some of the other Democrats, she actually has some money.
4:54
Speaker 1: So yeah, all of a sudden, Alaska is a race.
4:57
Speaker 2: So in Florida, it pretty much turned the way it
5:00
Speaker 2: was expected. It's now a very strong red state. But
5:05
Speaker 2: there was an amazing performance by and you got to
5:10
Speaker 2: call him now not so much DSA. It's sort of
5:13
Speaker 2: like lsaed in Michigan said, I'm not DSA, but they
5:17
Speaker 2: are an aligned candidate with DSA. So a woman named Nixon,
5:21
Speaker 2: no relationship to former President Richard Nixon, who comes out
5:25
Speaker 2: of Jacksonville, the northern part of the state. He's running
5:27
Speaker 2: in the Democratic primary to become the US Senate candidate
5:32
Speaker 2: against obviously the Republican who is going to win that election.
5:36
Speaker 2: It's got no money, didn't buy one TV ad. The
5:40
Speaker 2: candidate running against her is a well known individual, especially
5:43
Speaker 2: if you hate Trump, which a lot of Democrats do.
5:46
Speaker 2: That's Alex Vindman. Remember Alex Vinman, the retired US Lieutenant
5:52
Speaker 2: Army colonel director of European Affairs who won the Purple
5:56
Speaker 2: Heart when he was fighting in Iraq for the United States.
6:00
Speaker 2: Dates came out of Brighton Beach, born in Kiev in Ukraine.
6:04
Speaker 2: So what I can say, so a Jewish guy who
6:08
Speaker 2: was living in southern Florida with his family. Remember he
6:11
Speaker 2: had to look alike twin his twin Eugene, who was
6:15
Speaker 2: in Congress. So he was going to go into the Senate.
6:18
Speaker 2: It was like a slam dunk, right, He sat sixteen
6:22
Speaker 2: million dollars. This woman Nixon, that is what we say,
6:26
Speaker 2: ooh gotts bupkis nothing. But she did what Zorhan did,
6:32
Speaker 2: which I immediately recognized when he had all those Zarin easters
6:35
Speaker 2: everywhere everywhere I would go, they'd beat these are in easters.
6:38
Speaker 2: They'd be knocking on doors. They were all volunteers, none
6:40
Speaker 2: of them paid staffers. And she had brilliant social networking
6:44
Speaker 2: like zorhandaid. And even though there were ten TV markets
6:49
Speaker 2: in Florida, it's the third largest state now in growing
6:51
Speaker 2: in terms of population. You know how difficult it is
6:53
Speaker 2: to get TV ads when you're a major market. She
6:58
Speaker 2: beat this guy over one. Now she will lose the
7:02
Speaker 2: US Senate run against the Republican. But this is why
7:06
Speaker 2: the DSAY and the Socialists can come out of nowhere.
7:10
Speaker 2: Because they're young, they're aggressive, they have energy. They go
7:14
Speaker 2: door to door, which is what Democrats used to do do.
7:16
Speaker 2: They used to be very good because they had union
7:19
Speaker 2: support and that you used to be good. They're no
7:21
Speaker 2: longer good at that, and they've just filled the void.
7:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're good in democratic primaries and they're good
7:28
Speaker 1: in democratic cities. We're gonna see the first big test
7:32
Speaker 1: is going to be lsied in Michigan and he's already
7:34
Speaker 1: well behind in the polls. So I think that this
7:38
Speaker 1: is a bad thing for the Democratic Party, that this
7:40
Speaker 1: is happening right now. I know they keep claiming it's
7:43
Speaker 1: a good thing, and you know, you have Hakeem Jeffries
7:45
Speaker 1: saying I don't agree with anything they say, but if
7:48
Speaker 1: they get elected, we're gonna have a big tent. Still,
7:52
Speaker 1: this is this is horrible for the Democratic Party. Every
7:55
Speaker 1: time one of them wins somewhere. You know who talks
7:58
Speaker 1: about it the most, the Republican. Oh yeah, they're out
8:00
Speaker 1: there saying, look, what's going to happen to our country?
8:03
Speaker 1: Socialism is going to take over. Every time a DSA
8:07
Speaker 1: member wins an election, it helps the Republican.
8:10
Speaker 2: You know, it just reminds me of and you brought
8:11
Speaker 2: this up. This is the effect that the Tea Party
8:15
Speaker 2: had on the mainstream Republicans. Remember they started running all
8:19
Speaker 2: kinds of candidates, French candidates. Remember when they beat Cantor
8:23
Speaker 2: number two in the House of Representatives, who was on
8:27
Speaker 2: his way to becoming a Speaker of the House. Knocked
8:30
Speaker 2: them off, and people say, how the hell did that
8:32
Speaker 2: happen because they got boots on the ground, They had emotion.
8:37
Speaker 2: And when your mainstream, oftentimes you think you got sixteen
8:41
Speaker 2: million dollars, you're running these campaign ads in ten TV markets.
8:45
Speaker 2: Everybody knew Vinmin hated Trump. You had the right pedigree,
8:49
Speaker 2: and you sell it off.
8:50
Speaker 1: To the Tea Party for a second. Because I knew
8:52
Speaker 1: people and the Tea Party extremely well. I knew the
8:54
Speaker 1: person that ran it in Philadelphia, and they went after
8:59
Speaker 1: Mike Memember. Mike Castle, no senator from Delaware, very powerful
9:03
Speaker 1: senator from Delaware, been there forever. Remember the woman that
9:07
Speaker 1: said I am not a witch. Yes, she beat my Castle.
9:11
Speaker 1: I remember I was with her. I spoke in Las
9:13
Speaker 1: Vegas at one of these meetings that brought all different
9:16
Speaker 1: kind of Republicans together. Mike Castle would have won in
9:20
Speaker 1: a landslide, and the Tea Party backed the witch woman
9:25
Speaker 1: and she got killed and the Democrats took that seat
9:30
Speaker 1: and have held on to it ever since. And that
9:32
Speaker 1: is what's happening with the Democratic Socialists right now. As
9:35
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I talked to the guy who
9:37
Speaker 1: was running the Tea Party and I said to him,
9:39
Speaker 1: you just took out Mike Castle. He said, good, we
9:41
Speaker 1: have to prove a point. I said, you're going to
9:44
Speaker 1: lose the Senate. You have to get some priorities in
9:47
Speaker 1: this place. You have awful candidates. And he said, no, no, no, no,
9:51
Speaker 1: we have to tow the line and we have to
9:53
Speaker 1: reduce taxes and we have to balance the budget. I said, well,
9:57
Speaker 1: it's never going to happen now because the Democrats are
9:59
Speaker 1: going to win. You got exactly the opposite of what you.
10:02
Speaker 2: I remember that. But remember also Florida not that long ago.
10:05
Speaker 2: It is very red now, not that Obama won that twice.
10:10
Speaker 2: And then remember if not for the endorsement of Donald
10:13
Speaker 2: Trump for DeSantis. That's what he always reminds. DeSantis, you
10:17
Speaker 2: were behind Andrew Gillim. Remember Andrew Gilman, the mayor of Tallahassee,
10:23
Speaker 2: barely lost to DeSantis. The thing that helped DeSantis in
10:28
Speaker 2: that run for governorship was the Trump endorsement. And then
10:32
Speaker 2: Andrew Gillim's entire life fell apart. Now he's in a
10:35
Speaker 2: gay relationship using crystal meths. But he was a rising
10:39
Speaker 2: star even though he had lost. And ever since then,
10:43
Speaker 2: Florida has become very red, well forever, and I think
10:45
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna remember this forever. Florida was the biggest swing state. Yes,
10:50
Speaker 2: it was the one that everybody wanted to win. You
10:53
Speaker 2: know what the big turning point was COVID. Oh, that's right.
10:58
Speaker 1: COVID was the big turning point when people said, look
11:00
Speaker 1: at we had a free state. They didn't do what
11:03
Speaker 1: Biden said, and since then everything has been Republican. And
11:07
Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people are moving there too
11:09
Speaker 1: because of that. Hey, listen, when we come back, I
11:16
Speaker 1: have to look at what.
11:16
Speaker 2: We oh no, gg top, it's oh my god, gg
11:20
Speaker 2: top right out of Texas, which again Democrats are trying
11:24
Speaker 2: to turn into a swing state. Now, how ironic Florida
11:27
Speaker 2: is no longer that they're trying to do that to Texas.
11:30
Speaker 2: But the drummer passed away. Remember they had to cancel
11:34
Speaker 2: their event. Well, let's talk about it when we come back.
11:36
Speaker 1: The guy with the guy without the beard, Yes, he
11:39
Speaker 1: was the one everbody remembers. Plus you got a chance
11:41

Speaker 1: Defy anyone to say they didn't love zz Top. Everybody
13:14
Speaker 1: loved them. They they hit right at the right time,
13:17
Speaker 1: coming out of Texas. They had that hard driving pop
13:22
Speaker 1: rock and they hit right when the MTV was at
13:26
Speaker 1: its peak. And their videos with the two guys with
13:29
Speaker 1: the long beards were incredible, and they had hit after
13:34
Speaker 1: hit after hit, all driven tush and well dressed man
13:39
Speaker 1: and legs and the lagrange and every single one of
13:44
Speaker 1: them was driven by the drums. And now Frank Beard,
13:49
Speaker 1: now we know why they canceled so many of their engagements,
13:53
Speaker 1: including the first time at the Hollywood Bowl. It's because
13:57
Speaker 1: Frank Beard said, hey, listen, I have to go to hospice.
14:02
Speaker 1: And his death was in hospice care in Texas. He
14:07
Speaker 1: was seventy seven years old. The cause of death still
14:12
Speaker 1: has not been announced, but it and one of the
14:14
Speaker 1: big jokes about Zz top that Frank Beard was part
14:18
Speaker 1: of over the time, his fans kidded about he was
14:21
Speaker 1: the only one without a beard.
14:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember one time he grew a mustache. That
14:25
Speaker 2: was it. No beard. Do you know that you Let
14:28
Speaker 2: Corporation offered the members of zz Toppo had the beards
14:33
Speaker 2: a million dollars to shave off their beards a million dollars.
14:37
Speaker 2: Back then, there was a lot of money you know
14:39
Speaker 2: nowadays what a millionaires trillion is, Elon Mush is billionaires
14:44
Speaker 2: a million dollars, and they wouldn't do it. They would
14:46
Speaker 2: not do it fifty years a half century and they
14:50
Speaker 2: all stayed together. So it's not like one member left
14:54
Speaker 2: had an argument, you know, like we've seen so many groups,
14:57
Speaker 2: or somebody passed away or no longer was. They were
15:01
Speaker 2: together for fifty years a half century of doing great entertainment.
15:06
Speaker 4: Yeah.
15:06
Speaker 1: I saw a documentary about them and they talked about
15:08
Speaker 1: this and they just grew up together, which was really nice,
15:12
Speaker 1: and so they said, why would we ever break up?
15:17
Speaker 1: First of all, were great friends and we got a
15:19
Speaker 1: great thing going. I mean they were tremendous together and
15:23
Speaker 1: at the heart and soul of every one of those songs,
15:27
Speaker 1: like Tush was that driving drum beat. Look, they're going
15:31
Speaker 1: to live on. Frank Beard obviously is going to live
15:34
Speaker 1: on through the music. I'm sure they're going to tour again.
15:37
Speaker 1: I would think they're going to tour again. It's easy
15:39
Speaker 1: top and they'll find another drummer, but they'll always pay
15:42
Speaker 1: tribute to him, and we're always going to remember his
15:45
Speaker 1: greatness again. Frank Beard dead at the age of seventy seven.
15:49
Speaker 1: Now for some talkbacks.
15:51
Speaker 5: When I went to seat in Hall in the seventies,
15:52
Speaker 5: all I had to do to pledge for fraternity he
15:55
Speaker 5: was eat dog food and drink a cord of prujice boit.
15:59
Speaker 1: Things have come along wy wow.
16:02
Speaker 2: So let me get this straight. And I'm wondering if
16:05
Speaker 2: Natalie and Chris had to do that. They both went
16:07
Speaker 2: to seahole. You had to eat dog food. He remember
16:11
Speaker 2: that famous scene at Norton. Remember when all of a
16:13
Speaker 2: sudden he thought it was an old derve dog food
16:17
Speaker 2: with a cracker. He loved it, and wash it down
16:20
Speaker 2: with prune juice, which would have sealed you on the
16:22
Speaker 2: porcelain palace.
16:24
Speaker 3: No, I did not have to do that.
16:27
Speaker 1: What did you have to do?
16:29
Speaker 2: I thought?
16:29
Speaker 1: Was it in a frat?
16:30
Speaker 2: That's because he was a mama luke. He was exactly.
16:35
Speaker 3: I was in a sorority. I did not have to
16:37
Speaker 3: eat dog food.
16:39
Speaker 6: I did have to carry around a pledge can, like
16:41
Speaker 6: a can of you know, the pledge that you use
16:44
Speaker 6: for furniture. We had to carry that around all day long.
16:47
Speaker 3: That is now considered hazing. They cannot do that anymore.
16:51
Speaker 1: Really, that seems kind of mild.
16:53
Speaker 3: That's hazing.
16:54
Speaker 4: Wow.
16:54
Speaker 6: Even wearing a pin identifying yourself as a pledge is hazing.
17:00
Speaker 1: Curtis' next talkbacks for you, Curtis, I just want to
17:02
Speaker 1: tell you that I love.
17:03
Speaker 2: The way you say oh gott I just have to
17:08
Speaker 2: say that, Yeah, st gotts and oh gods a little
17:12
Speaker 2: separate meanings depending on which province of Italy you're speaking
17:16
Speaker 2: the dialect from. For me, it's by days. For me,
17:18
Speaker 2: it's by days.
17:20
Speaker 1: Anybody anybody have those two words in their regular vocabulary? Eddie,
17:24
Speaker 1: Oh you do? Crash raised his head.
17:27
Speaker 2: Of course he's Italian.
17:29
Speaker 3: I just didn't know there was a difference.
17:31
Speaker 2: Oh very much, Okay, depending on calabres, hard headed, si Chiliano,
17:35
Speaker 2: they're not really Italians. Uh. You know, we could go
17:39
Speaker 2: on and on and on.
17:41
Speaker 1: Now, one last talk back about Bruce Blakeman.
17:44
Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman's campaign. I'm going to cut taxes, I'm going
17:47
Speaker 7: to cut electric bills. That's fine. How much Kathy Hill
17:51
Speaker 7: will spend on migrants, but he doesn't even say how
17:54
Speaker 7: much he's spent on building that stadium out of our pockets,
17:57
Speaker 7: which should never even exist. Over eight hundred million dollars
18:00
Speaker 7: for the stadium. And never mind she paid more for
18:03
Speaker 7: COVID tests. We used to pay five dollars. Now she
18:07
Speaker 7: pays eight dollars for a company that never made them.
18:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, whatever happened to the nuclear
18:12
Speaker 1: power and the fracking that was going to happen, never happen,
18:15
Speaker 1: Never ever happened.
18:16
Speaker 2: Don't touch the bills stadium. That course, zeld In an
18:20

21:26
Speaker 2: Nominated teaching now at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers, So
21:32
Speaker 2: right on time, we have Rich DeMuro Rich John Tech
21:35
Speaker 2: has heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven PM on
21:38
Speaker 2: WR and Rich. The blazing headlines everywhere social media addiction trial,
21:46
Speaker 2: the focus on Zuckerberg and Meta. But I gotta tell you,
21:51
Speaker 2: didn't New Mexico have a civil trial against them where
21:55
Speaker 2: he testified lost and then a civil charge five hundred
22:00
Speaker 2: and sixty seven million dollars was waged against Meta.
22:04
Speaker 10: I'm confused, what is this case? Yeah, well there's been
22:08
Speaker 10: a couple of cases. We had one in New Mexico, which,
22:11
Speaker 10: like you said, yeah, a lot of money Meta has
22:13
Speaker 10: to pay out. And then there's also one in Los
22:15
Speaker 10: Angeles from a teenager that said she was addicted to
22:19
Speaker 10: Instagram and all these other platforms, and she was paid
22:23
Speaker 10: out millions of dollars or should be. And now we've
22:26
Speaker 10: got this new trial. This is led by twenty nine states,
22:29
Speaker 10: so it's more of a coalition, but it's being led
22:32
Speaker 10: by four states in general, California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey.
22:37
Speaker 10: So this is a This is probably the largest of
22:40
Speaker 10: all of the trials against Meta. Meta says this could
22:43
Speaker 10: cost them up to one point four trillion dollars. The
22:46
Speaker 10: States argue, no, it's probably closer to two hundred billion dollars.
22:50
Speaker 10: But no matter what, this is a big deal and
22:52
Speaker 10: it's all about the idea that Meta ignored all the
22:56
Speaker 10: signs and kept pushing forward to get teens addicted to
23:00
Speaker 10: this app, Instagram, and they did not care about all
23:04
Speaker 10: the warning signs. That's what's being argued in court right now.
23:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be fascinating to find out what
23:09
Speaker 1: happens with that chat GBT launched a new mode for teens.
23:14
Speaker 1: Is is this related in somehow?
23:17
Speaker 10: Well, that's what I think is interesting. So we have
23:19
Speaker 10: this trial start yesterday, and on the same day, CHATCHYBT
23:23
Speaker 10: comes out with this new feature called CHATCHYBT for teens,
23:26
Speaker 10: so clearly, and we've heard there's been already, you know,
23:29
Speaker 10: issues with teens and chat GYBT. We've heard of suicide,
23:32
Speaker 10: we've heard of you know, these teens thinking that the
23:35
Speaker 10: chat is their friend. And so I think chat Gibt
23:38
Speaker 10: is trying to get ahead of all of these issues
23:40
Speaker 10: that other big tech companies have seen when it comes
23:43
Speaker 10: to teenagers. So basically, if you're thirteen to seventeen, even
23:47
Speaker 10: if you don't put that into the app as your age,
23:49
Speaker 10: because a lot of people lie, especially teenagers, it will
23:52
Speaker 10: look at signals and say, okay, we know you're thirteen
23:54
Speaker 10: to seventeen. Now you're going to be put into this bucket.
23:58
Speaker 10: And it's becoming you know, it acts more like a
24:01
Speaker 10: tutor instead of just an answer machine. So if you
24:04
Speaker 10: ask for an answer for something, it's going to say, hey,
24:05
Speaker 10: why don't we walk you through the steps to finding
24:07
Speaker 10: that answer. And then of course there's a whole bunch
24:10
Speaker 10: of safety guardrails around self harm, eating disorders, violence, explicit content,
24:15
Speaker 10: and so open Aye is really trying to say, hey, look,
24:18
Speaker 10: we've seen what the other tech companies have done with teens.
24:20
Speaker 10: We are trying to get ahead of this, get in
24:23
Speaker 10: front of it, and make this a safe place for teenagers.
24:26
Speaker 2: Now, question, we see that Meta and Zuckerberg are the
24:31
Speaker 2: focus of these prosecutions, but I know there are other
24:35
Speaker 2: social media sites in which there are thousands of suits
24:39
Speaker 2: out there. Why has Zuckerbird chosen to fight instead of
24:43
Speaker 2: just settle like a lot of these other social networking
24:47
Speaker 2: media sites have done.
24:49
Speaker 1: Well.
24:50
Speaker 10: He may think they're not in the wrong, and you
24:52
Speaker 10: know that's what the courts are here to decide. I mean,
24:56
Speaker 10: so far we've seen some of the information come out.
24:59
Speaker 10: You know they're going to have you know, like metas said,
25:01
Speaker 10: they have a whole bunch of safety features they've put
25:03
Speaker 10: in along the years. I mean, you have to understand
25:05
Speaker 10: from the from the side of Meta. You know, they
25:07
Speaker 10: were going along just like we were. We were all
25:09
Speaker 10: trying to understand this new technology, use this new technology.
25:12
Speaker 10: We didn't really know its effects on teenagers or ourselves
25:16
Speaker 10: even as adults. So did they kind of as they
25:19
Speaker 10: went along understand these things and say, okay, let's put
25:21
Speaker 10: these safety features in because we noticed kids can't stop
25:24
Speaker 10: or did they say in their internal documents and emails, Hey,
25:29
Speaker 10: kids can't stop scrolling. Let's get tim let's get them
25:32
Speaker 10: to scroll even more. And I think that's what this
25:35
Speaker 10: case is trying to figure out. Was there some internal documents,
25:38
Speaker 10: was there internal chit chat about how do we addict
25:40
Speaker 10: these children? Or is this just a side effect of
25:43
Speaker 10: this technology that they invented.
25:45
Speaker 1: I see the Fray Federal Trade Commission is out with
25:48
Speaker 1: warning about searching online to pay your bills, and it's interesting,
25:54
Speaker 1: Rich I've been caught up in this before. I've never
25:56
Speaker 1: fallen for it completely, but when I had to pay
25:59
Speaker 1: a bill and it's not already set up in my
26:02
Speaker 1: phone or on my computer, I do a search, and
26:05
Speaker 1: then when you go to it, it just seems a
26:07
Speaker 1: little off. And I've always been wary of that. So
26:12
Speaker 1: now I see from the story it's a.
26:14
Speaker 10: Thing, absolutely, And this is a larger issue that I'm
26:18
Speaker 10: seeing in general with people searching for things online when
26:23
Speaker 10: it comes to customer service, tech support, bill pay. Basically,
26:28
Speaker 10: any time you are not going directly to the URL
26:31
Speaker 10: for a company, there are other companies that are trying
26:34
Speaker 10: to get you to go to their website. They may
26:37
Speaker 10: charge you extra fees, they may scam you. There may
26:40
Speaker 10: be you know, a product that they may push you
26:43
Speaker 10: into buying that you don't actually need. And the FTC
26:45
Speaker 10: is getting hip to this. Basically, they're saying that online
26:48
Speaker 10: bill pay, there are a lot of impersonators out there.
26:51
Speaker 10: So when you're searching for that bill to pay, whether
26:54
Speaker 10: it's for your medical company, whether it's for your phone company,
26:57
Speaker 10: be very careful about the ads or the sponsor links
27:00
Speaker 10: up at the top. It may look like you're paying
27:02
Speaker 10: your phone company, but it might be a third party
27:05
Speaker 10: service that's going to charge you. Could be a dollar
27:07
Speaker 10: or two more, three dollars, five dollars, whatever it is.
27:10
Speaker 10: But still times millions of people doing this, So it
27:13
Speaker 10: went in doubt, and I think the best advice is
27:15
Speaker 10: really to use the address that is printed on your bill,
27:19
Speaker 10: especially when it comes to those random medical bills you get.
27:22
Speaker 10: They all use a different billing system type that url
27:25
Speaker 10: into your web browser.
27:27
Speaker 2: That's the safest way to pay Retchen. Then finally, a
27:30
Speaker 2: lot of people would say to me, you ran familiar twice.
27:32
Speaker 2: I don't want any more of these emails about your
27:35
Speaker 2: fundraising for political ventures. And yet I see that apparently
27:40
Speaker 2: you can do more political fundraising emails on Gmail inboxes.
27:45
Speaker 2: How did that happen.
27:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, I thought this was kind of interesting. Basically, very
27:50
Speaker 10: quiet change from Google. Starting September eighth, Google's launching a
27:54
Speaker 10: program that basically let's verify candidates, political parties, and these
27:58
Speaker 10: packs of Gmail spam filters. I don't know if you
28:02
Speaker 10: remember this, but during the election, Republicans were complaining that
28:06
Speaker 10: gmails spam filters filtered out their fundraising emails and let
28:09
Speaker 10: the Democrat emails slip through. Well, Google says they've got
28:13
Speaker 10: a new program that basically verifies you are who you
28:16
Speaker 10: say you are, you are one of these political groups,
28:18
Speaker 10: and now they will allow those emails to land inside
28:22
Speaker 10: inboxes instead of going straight to spam. But of course
28:25
Speaker 10: there are some restrictions so that this is not abused.
28:28
Speaker 10: So the bottom line here is that if you have
28:31
Speaker 10: a Gmail account, you may see some more political emails
28:34
Speaker 10: going to your inbox, and that's for a reason Gmail
28:37
Speaker 10: changed the way that they handle those.
28:39
Speaker 1: Always great. Thank you, Rich rich DeMuro rich on tech
28:41
Speaker 1: has heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven pm on WLR.
28:45
Speaker 1: You can also reach out and talk to Rich, ask
28:48
Speaker 1: him a question, or see what the latest he has
28:50
Speaker 1: to post at rich on tech on Instagram.
28:54
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Rich, Thanks guys, appreciate it. Ah right on
28:59
Speaker 2: time with tech, said advice from Rich de Muro, And
29:02
Speaker 2: I'm giving you advice when all of a sudden, you
29:04
Speaker 2: see your cell phone is blowing up with spam calls
29:07
Speaker 2: and spam texts, and you hear that your mom and
29:10
Speaker 2: pops are complaining about it, or even grandparents or aunts
29:13
Speaker 2: and uncles of friends. Guess what all that information that
29:17
Speaker 2: is being collected on you, It's all legal. It's being
29:20
Speaker 2: done by data brokers. Oh yeah, yeah, you wonder how
29:23
Speaker 2: did they get your phone on a home address, email,
29:26
Speaker 2: family members, affiliations, political, even where your banking do your financing.
29:31
Speaker 2: Those scammers are blowing up your phone and they didn't
29:34
Speaker 2: get lucky because they bought that information which is out there.
29:37
Speaker 2: They've bundled it, they're selling it, and they don't care
29:40
Speaker 2: who they sell it to. So you got to build
29:41
Speaker 2: a firewall like I've done with Incognitive, get a pad
29:44
Speaker 2: and pen and write it down. That's incog Ni because
29:49
Speaker 2: it automatically removes your personal information from hundreds of data
29:53
Speaker 2: brokers and people's search sites. And then they're not naive.
29:57
Speaker 2: They know that could pop back up. They play whack
29:59
Speaker 2: them hole and they go out to it again to
30:00
Speaker 2: make sure that info stays off the list. So if
30:03
Speaker 2: scammers can't find you, they can't target you. If spammers
30:06
Speaker 2: can't find you, they can't bother you. Goad incogniti dot

30:26
Speaker 2: Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori.
30:30
Speaker 1: Well Zerr and Mom Donnie's city run grocery stores are
30:33
Speaker 1: going to become a reality. How do you feel about it?
30:37
Speaker 1: Natalie Migliori found out in her Beat on the Street.
30:40
Speaker 1: What's the matter? You're making a grimacing face.
30:42
Speaker 11: No, I mean, we're just one step closer to this
30:46
Speaker 11: really coming to life. A bunch of potential operators are
30:49
Speaker 11: touring two of the first sites this week. Earlier this
30:54
Speaker 11: week they toured the Bronx site, and today they're going
30:57
Speaker 11: to tour one in East Harlem. The stores will have
31:00
Speaker 11: I have a thirty percent discount on essential items like milk,
31:03
Speaker 11: meat and produce, and those discounts are going to be
31:06
Speaker 11: paid for by the city. So Mayor Mom Donnie introduced
31:09
Speaker 11: the concept months ago. It's had we've had time to
31:12
Speaker 11: settle in with it, but will it work.
31:15
Speaker 12: I just don't want to see corruption in any way,
31:18
Speaker 12: and that's something like it sounds like it could be
31:22
Speaker 12: pay to play kind of thing. And I've been around
31:25
Speaker 12: long enough to just be suspicious.
31:27
Speaker 13: What are you solving from this? You know, you have
31:30
Speaker 13: meals on wheels, you have pantries, you have all the churches.
31:33
Speaker 13: Our church over here has a pantry, you know, and
31:36
Speaker 13: their snap everywhere you go there's things that are set
31:38
Speaker 13: up and I just find so just continuously layer it
31:43
Speaker 13: and layer it and layer it up. If those things
31:45
Speaker 13: aren't working, fix those they're in place already.
31:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:48
Speaker 11: Mayor Mom Donnie has said building out the store and
31:51
Speaker 11: stocking it's going to cost about thirty million dollars. The
31:55
Speaker 11: site in the Bronx is located in the Hunts Point
31:57
Speaker 11: section and near an affordable housing develop where one hundreds,
32:01
Speaker 11: if not thousands of people live. It's a major multi
32:03
Speaker 11: use complex. So with discount subsidized by the city, our
32:07
Speaker 11: New Yorkers worried about another subsidy, maybe shoplifting in a
32:12
Speaker 11: place like this.
32:13
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean, but if they can put a lot
32:15
Speaker 1: of things, the cameras and everything to be more safety there,
32:18
Speaker 1: I think that would be something good.
32:20
Speaker 9: Unfortunately, that's just the sea of the world, and no
32:23
Speaker 9: matter where you live, that's just how it is, right,
32:26
Speaker 9: But you would hope, like if it's discounted and they're
32:29
Speaker 9: trying to get help and try to reduce processes as much.
32:32
Speaker 9: It wouldn't. But that's just we kind of have to
32:34
Speaker 9: be realistic on that part.
32:35
Speaker 13: Right, everything is going to be taken off of the
32:38
Speaker 13: shelves and you're just going to be replenishing and replenishing
32:42
Speaker 13: stuff that's just going to be stolen.
32:44
Speaker 3: All right.
32:44
Speaker 11: New Yorkers know how expensive it's gotten to live here,
32:47
Speaker 11: with the USDA saying grocery prices across the nation have
32:51
Speaker 11: increased roughly thirty three percent since twenty nineteen and an
32:55
Speaker 11: average of three percent over the past year. So how
32:59
Speaker 11: expensive is it getting to stay here in the city.
33:02
Speaker 12: I'm on a fixed income and it's making me rethink
33:06
Speaker 12: a lot of things.
33:07
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
33:08
Speaker 9: I have to work two jobs to be able to
33:10
Speaker 9: make ends meet, and I live with family, so it's
33:13
Speaker 9: not even that I'm living by myself. I live with family.
33:16
Speaker 9: I have a great paying job. But it doesn't it
33:18
Speaker 9: doesn't matter. Everything is ridiculous, the prices of gas, groceries,
33:23
Speaker 9: daily living expensive, all of it.
33:25
Speaker 13: Well, we're in a rent stabilized apartment, like Curtis, so
33:27
Speaker 13: we kind of we're in a bubble.
33:30
Speaker 2: But if not for that, I don't know where we
33:31
Speaker 2: would be.
33:31
Speaker 13: Parts on parts on our discount. And we're seniors, so
33:35
Speaker 13: we have to use our senior discounts wherever. But we
33:37
Speaker 13: go give me my discount, damn it. And that's basically it.
33:40
Speaker 13: That's the only way we're surviving.
33:42
Speaker 2: Now. He's wrong there. Remember the only one who was
33:44
Speaker 2: in a rent stabilized apartment in the race was Johann Mandami. Well,
33:49
Speaker 2: we have an apartment. It's not rent stabilized. Trust me.
33:53
Speaker 2: We pay a lot of rents.
33:54
Speaker 11: Well, that couple whatever, They they actually are the first people.
34:00
Speaker 11: They're big fans of us, Michael and Roma, and they're
34:03
Speaker 11: the first people who I ever approached. When I said, Hi,
34:06
Speaker 11: I'm Natalie and I'm with w R News, I'm with iHeartRadio.
34:09
Speaker 3: They said, Migliori.
34:11
Speaker 1: Who I was?
34:14
