• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Greek cup there. And who's walking down the street? It's Dr.

• 0:29
  Speaker 7: Early.

  Speaker 1: was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed. We're having a conversation.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Like 4.30, right?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm having my cup of coffee before I came here.

  Speaker 4: 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 2: What do you think about Dolly? Dolly Parton? Why she
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: was so great? She was so wonderful. And normally... You know, in.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: A place like New York City, when you're walking around
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: at four in the morning with emotionally disturbed homeless people,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: people who are, like, really angry that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: They have to get up and go to work, nothing
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: 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 2: Of course he does. In what, 20 years? 2045? Listen
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to this.
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: You have a secret song locked away in Dollywood that
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: will be released in 2045.
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: That's the truth.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: No, seriously.
• 1:39
  Speaker 10: When we, we do a lot of things at Dollywood,
• 1:42
  Speaker 10: and one year we.
• 1:43
  Speaker 9: Thought about that.
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: They asked me if I would write a song.
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: That nobody would ever hear.
• 1:47
  Speaker 11: I'll be dead.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Gone.
• 1:49
  Speaker 10: Well, I might not be, because I'll be 99.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You know me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I might still be hopping around.
• 1:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you'll be 99.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: 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 2: Yeah, but see, when you said that. I wasn't paying
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: full attention.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about the secret sauce of McDonald's,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, Ray Kroc for the Big Mac, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Mac sauce.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I got it. Why would you think that?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Well, because I was, remember, McDonald's night manager, I was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: told you only use the secret sauce, the Mac sauce.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: On the Big Macs, and you never give away the ingredients. Never.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You take that to your grave. Oh, do you know it?
• 2:29
  Speaker 13: Sometimes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, but I will never reveal it, although you can
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: buy tubs of it in 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.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: We have a.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: President of the United States who said those things on
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: that bus.
• 3:03
  Speaker 10: I'm not addressing that. I do not get into that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: Of course I have my opinion about everybody and everything.
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: But I learned a long time ago, keep your damn
• 3:12
  Speaker 10: mouth shut if you want to stay in show business.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: I'm not in politics.
• 3:15
  Speaker 10: I'm an entertainer.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And yet you're also a role model.
• 3:18
  Speaker 14: Yes, I am.
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: That's why I don't... talk about people. So if you
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: are deciding you may want to ask me something more serious, don't,
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: because I'm not going to ask. Well, you can ask,
• 3:29
  Speaker 10: but I might still tell you where to put it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 15: Oh my gosh, there's nobody like her.
• 3:37
  Speaker 11: She could get away with that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 16: Somebody else would sound angry and nasty by saying, nope,
• 3:42
  Speaker 16: not going to answer it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 11: She just sounded adorable and endearing. I just can't take it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: How can I be Dolly?
• 3:48
  Speaker 11: I want to be her.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Well, go to Dollywood. Why don't you go to Dollywood?
• 3:53
  Speaker 11: No, seriously?
• 3:54
  Speaker 16: I never thought of going. I'm not a music person
• 3:58
  Speaker 16: in the first place, but I am going to go.
• 4:00
  Speaker 16: I definitely am going to go. You know they broke
• 4:04
  Speaker 16: the website? You could not get on it the day
• 4:07
  Speaker 16: she passed away. So many people were jumping on. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 16: my daughter and her friends want to go.
• 4:12
  Speaker 11: I'm like, really? 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 17: 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 Lewin Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: That's going to be awarded every day to our favorite
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: talk back in the morning. And don't forget, the best
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: talk back of the week takes on the Sea Crane Radio.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Sea Crane Radio's deliver the reception and clarity you deserve.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And you know what's amazing?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Not only a great businesswoman, a great philanthropist, started Dolly World,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: so many other things. In the midst of the lockdown
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and pandemic, coming up with the money for the vaccine
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: research that was critical to saving lives.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: 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 madam.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Of a brothel.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Like, remember that movie she was in with Burt Reynolds
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: when she was the madam of the brothel?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the name of that. That was
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a great movie. She did so many great movies. That's right, right.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Whorehouse of Texas. I mean, And she understood that. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that was her path. And I'm saying to myself late
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: last night, who's comparable? Because that was a different era.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be that way any longer. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: who is comparable?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I said, right in our backyard. I love Lucy.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Lucille Ball. She came from Jamestown, New York, little town upstate.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Poor family.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: At the age of 14, she was hanging out with
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a greaser at the time. He was like 21 years old.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Now imagine, she's 14, he's 21. The family is saying,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: we got to get her out of here. You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's like she's with the Fonz of Jamestown, New York,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: if there was even a Fonz. And they said, what
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: do you want to do, Lucy? I want to be
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a chorus girl. I want to dance. I want to sing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I have all this talent. Well, you got to go
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to New York City. So she goes to New York City.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And right away, you know, the teacher who's teaching her,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you know, acting and dancing and all that says, you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: got to.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Have an angle. You can't be bright. They're not going
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to accept you. You're a bright young lady. You got
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to be ditzy. You got to be comedic.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And by the way, everybody here has either blonde hair
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: or brown hair.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: She had brown hair at the time. Try being a redhead.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Down 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 and 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
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: TV she goes I have this idea Me and my husband,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Desi Arnaz, the band leader.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You know, we talk about in our home. No, no, no.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: America is not going to go for this guy who
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: has this stick.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Accent who's Cuban no no no no you gotta we'll
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: go with an American guy to do that no I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: not gonna do it I'm gonna take it on the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: road and she went on the road and it was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: received really well in vaudeville and she comes back to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: CBS they said Lucy we told you no we ain't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: doing it with Desi Arnaz America will not go for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that accent and a guy from Cuba she says well
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: guess what then we're not gonna do it and he
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: thought about it and thought about it And they fold it,
• 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, hey, you should be honored.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You know, Elvis, you know, blue suede shoes wants to do,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and she was honored. She said, no, no, no, but
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that's my song. Those are my rights, and she wouldn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: give him the song. So all this stubbornness leads to something.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: We 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.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: We don't want you to do it. We want you
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to do it. You can't do it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And yet, if you hold out for what you believe in,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: there's success. And then she goes on, number one sitcom
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in America, I Love Lucy. Her husband is cheating on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: her like there's no tomorrow. He's seen with every starlet imaginable.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So she goes, I'll fix your wagon. So they start
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Desilu Productions, right? She divorces him.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: That's it. Kicks him out.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Said, I had it with you. Do you know they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: created Mission Impossible, Star Trek?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: 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.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Community and didn't get any blowback.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Most drag queens, if you ask them who you want
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to dress up as, they'll tell you Dolly Parton. Imagine
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in the heart of the South. You could do that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: 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.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, at that point, she was so big at that point, though.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's too big to fail almost.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: You can't go after somebody when they're that big. 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
• 10:23
  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 2: That's not it. You mean Little Shop of Horrors? Yeah,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: that's not it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: No, I know.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: The horror picture show, the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You see, I know, Larry, you never went 12 midnight
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to your local theater.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I did. Rocky Horror?
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: 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 2: Oh, there are things you are learning here 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 2: You ever been?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: One time.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: One time only. Why are you making that face?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just suggesting that you 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 2: 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 2: 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 4: Yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: How many times did you go to Rocky Horror Night?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Probably four.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Transsexual, huh?
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: 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 2: Just asking. Just inquiring. Yeah, that's so weird.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I'm a man. 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 9: I'm going out to look for him.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: What?
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: With all due respect, madam, your son is lost in
• 13:23
  Speaker 12: one of the biggest cities in the world.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: 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
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Horror Picture Show. He was in Clue, as we said,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Home Alone 2. He was in Spam a lot. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: he was on Broadway many, many times in Amadeus and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: My Favorite Year.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: He was an.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Actor's actor and loved by just everybody. And then he
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: suffered a stroke in 2012. and he wasn't able to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: do any of the film roles or the stage work,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: and he slowly really was paralyzed in most of his body.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: And they did an interview with him a few years ago,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and he's in his wheelchair and his head's over, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: they 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. Wow. So 80 years old,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: coming on the heels of Dolly Parton, unfortunately dead also
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: at 80. And as you pointed out earlier when we
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: came on the air, these things happen in threes.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Who's the next.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Person that's 80 that unfortunately is going to keel over
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and leave this plane?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: That would be freaky if it was three 80-year-olds.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: That would really be strange because I've never really bought
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: into that they come in threes because sometimes there's four
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and they discount the last one. to make it true,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: but if it's three people 80 years old.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: That's bizarre.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Does Polymarket have any prediction on that? They predict on everything.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Even the Little League World Series in Williamsport. I will
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: have to take a look. All right, so we got
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: some talkbacks.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Well, this is a layup.
• 15:18
  Speaker 18: Person that doesn't get the recognition, but is outstanding.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Person of comedic talent.
• 15:26
  Speaker 18: While maintaining her femininity as Lucy did, but also sticking
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: to her convictions, looking Hollywood right in the eye, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 18: telling her exactly.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: What she thinks when Miss Patricia Heaton.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Patricia Heaton, man, that's really a reach. I'm glad that
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: she has such fans. We talked about, obviously, Dolly Parton
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: leads the way. I said Lucille Ball in my lifetime. Well,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Patricia Heaton? She's the mom in Everybody Loves Raymond?
• 15:58
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm sorry. Here's the thing about Patricia Heaton. It's
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: 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. She hasn't reached the stardom
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: of Dolly Parton. That's the only reason it's a bit
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: of a reach.
• 16:14
  Speaker 20: Doesn't federal law supersede state law and local law? So
• 16:18
  Speaker 20: if the federal law says that Bruce Blakeman can cooperate
• 16:24
  Speaker 20: with ICE— Isn't he in the right? I'm so confused
• 16:27
  Speaker 20: 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 2: And that would be law enforcement. Well, excuse me, on
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Truth Social, the president makes it very clear with all
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: capitals when he puts it out there, right? It's pretty
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: clear to me. Well, I'll tell you what.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's clear to him, but it's going to go
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court if they try to stop it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: The weird thing is he just won a case with
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court that you would think he would have
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: lost when it comes to elections. And because elections are
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: handled by the states, not federal elections. And yet he
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: wrote an executive order. And so far, the Supreme Court
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: has backed him up. So it could go to the
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Bruce Blakeman later on, later on in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the show. His press conference yesterday on that very issue.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Now let's get the news at 630 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Morning, guys.
• 17:24
  Speaker 21: Showers becoming heavier as we head through the day. Chance
• 17:26
  Speaker 21: for severe storms in a high of 80 degrees. Well,
• 17:29
  Speaker 21: it isn't too bad right now. But with that rain
• 17:32
  Speaker 21: in the forecast and those storms and the chance for
• 17:34
  Speaker 21: hail and high winds, the city's activated its storm emergency plans.
• 17:38
  Speaker 21: If you live in flood-prone areas, especially in basement apartments,
• 17:41
  Speaker 21: make sure you have a plan to leave if need
• 17:44
  Speaker 21: be and make sure that plan includes your pets. The
• 17:47
  Speaker 21: search is on for a suspect. Police say stabbed an
• 17:49
  Speaker 21: MTA worker in Times Square.
• 17:51
  Speaker 17: The attack happened inside the 42nd Street Times Square station
• 17:55
  Speaker 17: around 10.30 p.m. Monday night. A man got into an
• 17:59
  Speaker 17: argument with a 30-year-old on-duty MTA worker. It's not clear
• 18:03
  Speaker 17: what that was about. He then stabbed the worker in
• 18:06
  Speaker 17: his left arm. He was treated at a hospital. His
• 18:09
  Speaker 17: attacker jumped onto a southbound one train. Police have released
• 18:13
  Speaker 17: photos of the man. They're asking anyone with info to
• 18:16
  Speaker 17: call them or the Crimestoppers line. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 18:20
  Speaker 21: It's been nearly 25 years since the September 11th attacks,
• 18:24
  Speaker 21: and now the man authorities say orchestrated them is headed
• 18:27
  Speaker 21: to trial. A military judge has set the proceedings for
• 18:30
  Speaker 21: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to begin in June of 2028. At
• 18:34
  Speaker 21: least 165 bodies have been recovered from the flooding along
• 18:39
  Speaker 21: the border of Nepal and Tibet. Hundreds are still missing.
• 18:42
  Speaker 21: The State Department says that includes dozens of Americans. Well,
• 18:46
  Speaker 21: there are no longer any legal holds on President Trump's
• 18:49
  Speaker 21: executive order limiting mail-in voting.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: The bottom line at this stage is that this executive
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: order that seeks to put the Postal Service as the
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: mail ballot police, something never done before, to make them
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: the ultimate verifier of who's eligible and not eligible to
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: be voting through the mail is uninhibited today.
• 19:11
  Speaker 21: It's ABC's Devin Dwyer.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Looking for love?
• 19:13
  Speaker 21: You might find it tonight at Citi Field when the
• 19:16
  Speaker 21: Mets host Singles Night, when they host the Brew Crew.
• 19:19
  Speaker 21: The Yankees beat Houston and the Mets fell to Milwaukee
• 19:22
  Speaker 21: last night. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm
• 19:25
  Speaker 21: Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates comes out with a full interview in which
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: he talks about the dangers of AI, but also the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: benefits of AI as this topic just keeps heating up
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: 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. They said if you would ever respond, they
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: could tell you themselves.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: 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
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: centers that are important for AI to exist.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It's just, as you've taken the position.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Larry, and you've nobly presented it, we call it in Italian, mezzo, mezzo, poco, poco,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: half and half.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: You look at the benefits.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: But you also say, but not in people's residential neighborhoods
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and backyards, which is a very honorable thing to do.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: But I'm assuming you're still getting people who are claiming that, Larry,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: don't succumb 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 3: people are really upset. And so I get the feeling
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: that a lot of the people that are writing to
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: me aren't affected by it. They don't have one coming
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: into their community. They have one next door. The people
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: that are really affected 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,
• 22:28
  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.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: He just killed his credibility before.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: 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.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And if you happen to be three, four, five, you're gone. Yeah,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: he's one of the preeminent voices on high tech and
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: on AI.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. He started Microsoft.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: But the headlines are a little disconcerting. It says AI warning.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates gives AI warning. Even I bought into that
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: until I read the full story and I said, no, no.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: This is more measured. This is more like what Larry
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Mendte has said. He first pointed out the bad. He
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: says there will be surging unemployment and public distrust will
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: grow as a result of it. Like we have now
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: public distrust in these data filing centers, AI, because the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: PR for them has been horrible. And it's like 75, 25, 80, 20,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: depending on what poll you look at. regardless of whether
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: you're Republican, Democrat, or independent. So he points out the negatives.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But then what you have to read later on in
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the article, he says he points out all the positives,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: which you don't get from the headline of Bill Gates.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: AI will accelerate advances in clean energy, agriculture, and obviously health.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: We talked about that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: So when you completely You do an analysis of what
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates said, who's one of the leaders of this movement.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: He's telling you the good and the bad and his
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: way of reining it in. He says, hey, we got
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to have some guardrails, whether it's international or it's within
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the U.S.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Even if AI.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Can perform all the tasks that we think it can,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: there should be a category human reserved.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: That means only humans can do this.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Even if, let's say, an AI robot could do it better,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: there should be a tax on AI. Someone said that's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: how you bring that debt down, a tax on AI usage.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: That would be you, Larry. You'd have to pay a
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: tax because you like using AI. I use it every day.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And tax the robots.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And coming on the heels of what we saw in
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Red China, where that robot beat Usain Bolt's record for
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the 100-meter dash. Remember, running down there, and you see
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: them marching around, but some of them are collapsing, some
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of them are falling, so we realize it's a work
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in progress. I thought this was a very well-thought-out statement
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: of somebody. who is heavily invested in this industry and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: could easily have just put a positive slant, although the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: headline suggests 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. But when he talks
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: about having some type of global understanding, some some global
• 25:33
  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.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: A 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.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: In the field. Sometimes it's always a little self-serving out there.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's slow it down because we're behind in this race.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: We've invested billions, which Microsoft has, but they're not one
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: or two. So if you ain't one or two, ultimately
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: it's going to be Red China versus the top two
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: American companies, and they're going to fight for all of
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the business out there. This may be a little self-serving.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Let's slow it down so we have a chance to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: 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.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: We can't put guard rails on the whole world. It's
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: just impossible. We're not going to be able to do that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: There's never going to be a come together of China
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: and Russia and ourselves and the EU to say, hey,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: we're going to slow this down a little bit because
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: how would you believe anybody? And that's what he's talking
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: about on this. It's just never, ever going to work.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: We have to get AI up and running as fast
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: as possible. without inflicting harm on U.S.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Citizens?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Well, you talked about will it ever, ever, ever. Will
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9-11 attack on
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: 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.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: That's how he was able to get that home address
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: of the couple.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And more importantly, how he was able to get their information, emails,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: phone numbers, even a picture of their front door. So
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: once he got there, he knew he was at the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: right location. And you say, well, there has to be
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: something illegal about that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: No, there's not.
• 28:52
  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 incognito. Get a pen and pen and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: write it down.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I've done it. I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: It forces data brokers and people's search sites to delete you.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: And then they keep checking up on it. They're not naive.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: They play whack-a-mole. They know it'll creep back. Incogni has
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: scrubbed my info from over 400 sites, and I didn't
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: do anything at all.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You lock your doors every night.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Tonight, lock down your address and let your friends and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: relatives know they should go to incogni.com slash Curtis now,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and 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 Kurdish. You know, Larry, Natalie,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: we're just days away from the 25th commemoration of the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: attack on 9-11, engineered by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: that did so much damage, destruction, the killing, the maiming,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and the scars that remain on the healed wounds of
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: many who carry on. And they heard yesterday that the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: mastermind of that attack, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, I think most
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: people just assume this guy's dead. Well, he's been on
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Gitmo with his terrorist al-Qaeda guys, it seems, ever since
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: he was captured in Pakistan years ago. He's been waterboarded.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I think even Dick Cheney went out there to waterboard him.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: They've done everything to this guy. He dyed his beard
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: with henna. He's got a red beard now. And I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: remember when all of a sudden they decided he would
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: not be up for the death penalty. In fact, it
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: would be triple life without parole. Families were not happy.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: The defense secretary at the time, Lloyd Austin, in the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Biden administration revoked that. He said, absolutely not. We're going
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: for the death penalty on him and the other guys.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: And now apparently that's back on. But That won't take place,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that military tribunal, until 2028. And just to show you, Larry,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: the synergy between the first attack of the World Trade
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Center in 1993, that was the attempt to make Tower No.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: 1 collapse into Tower No. 2 and kill as many
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: people as possible. The mastermind of that attack was his nephew,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Ramzi Youssef.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: 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 this.
• 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 Ramzi,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Now, Ramzi 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
• 32:20
  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 collecting the project.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know, I know. But let's
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: stay with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for a second, because this
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: is emotional to a lot of the families. This is
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: important to them. 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
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: June 5th, 2028.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Seriously? Seriously?
• 33:06
  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 4: Really?
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: And these families now have to get their hopes up again.
• 33:24
  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. He's the guy who went.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Osama bin Laden and sold him this idea of planes
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: crashing in to the towers. He sold them because Osama
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: bin Laden said, well, your nephew failed. Why should I
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: believe in you? And then he laid out the documents
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and he said, OK, go ahead. And from then on,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: it was full speed ahead. And we still, even though
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the 9-11 Commission said he was the mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: there still is the thought that some of the Saudi
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: royal family was involved in aiding and abetting them in
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: this process.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Those answers have 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 4: Up next.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I'm confused. Maybe John Decker can help us. Our WOR
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: White House correspondent, the president, posted, Victory... While Oman and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Iran said we're charging congestion pricing through the Straits of
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Hormuz at 7 o'clock.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: We'll get the news. Oh, I got to tell you,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the quiet storm is with us.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Chris on loan from Mark Simone, while Natalie is mending
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: from the operation she had on her knee.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I'm ready.
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: I'm ready to come back soon.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: She's ready and ready and waiting for us right now
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is John Decker, our White House correspondent for WOR.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Good morning, John.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Curtis.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Larry.
• 35:12
  Speaker 13: Hope you're doing well today.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm a little confused. Maybe you can help me.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at Truth Social yesterday. The president posted, mission accomplished.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: It was a picture of him and the old Ayatollah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: father of, we think, Ayatollah, who's alive. And it was
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: almost like a redo of Bush 43 when he was
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: on the aircraft carrier claiming a mission accomplished in Iraq.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: But it was on the same day that Oman said
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: that they had an agreement with Iran to share revenue
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: for ships passing through the straits of her moves like
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a toll and i thought just last week the president
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: said to oman you dare do that we're gonna bomb
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: you uh help me help me here john.
• 35:59
  Speaker 13: I wish i could help you i can't help you
• 36:01
  Speaker 13: it's uh it's inexplicable uh you know in terms of
• 36:05
  Speaker 13: what the president put out there uh the mission has
• 36:07
  Speaker 13: not been accomplished if the mission is the goal the
• 36:10
  Speaker 13: president set out at the very beginning of this conflict
• 36:13
  Speaker 13: which is denuclearizing Iran, that mission has not been accomplished.
• 36:18
  Speaker 13: If the mission is making certain that Iran no longer
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: funds its proxies in the region, that mission has not
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: been accomplished. So it's a little premature to be writing that.
• 36:30
  Speaker 13: In addition to what you just said, Curtis, the Strait
• 36:32
  Speaker 13: of Hormuz essentially remains shut down. And it has been
• 36:36
  Speaker 13: shut down since the beginning of this conflict when it
• 36:38
  Speaker 13: began in late February.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: I wanted you to explain to me something that happened
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: yesterday because I thought it was very emotional and I
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: thought it was extremely important, but I don't quite understand
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: what happened. The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, hosted a
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: ceremony at the Pentagon to present upgraded Valor Awards to
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: three retired Marines who served during the 2021 Abbey gate
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. There was a terrorist attack. Some
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: of the service members died. Why did this have to
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: happen this many years later? Why didn't they get this
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: award before?
• 37:21
  Speaker 13: Well, they could have gotten the award last year. I
• 37:24
  Speaker 13: think that what the administration wanted to do is to
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: remind the public that was paying attention to what you
• 37:30
  Speaker 13: just referenced of that chaotic withdrawal of Afghanistan. And one
• 37:35
  Speaker 13: way to do it is to honor the individuals that
• 37:38
  Speaker 13: you just mentioned, give them a V for valor for
• 37:42
  Speaker 13: the mission that they were involved with. That really was
• 37:46
  Speaker 13: a mission that was a pretty dangerous one, given the
• 37:49
  Speaker 13: fact that 13 service members died on that day when
• 37:52
  Speaker 13: that chaotic withdrawal from Kabul occurred. So I think that
• 37:56
  Speaker 13: is the reason for doing the event which occurred yesterday.
• 38:00
  Speaker 13: But to your point, Larry, it could have happened last year.
• 38:03
  Speaker 13: It was just simply that, you know, I think the
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: The Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense just thought,
• 38:09
  Speaker 13: what can we do to remind people of what happened
• 38:13
  Speaker 13: during the Biden years?
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Is there any reason why it didn't happen under President Biden?
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Were they just trying to not call attention to what
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: happened that day?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 38:24
  Speaker 13: When you look at that day and you look at
• 38:26
  Speaker 13: what happened, that to me, you know, when you look
• 38:29
  Speaker 13: at President Joe Biden's approval rating, that marked the beginning
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: of the precipitous decline in in his approval ratings. He was,
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: when he took office, at mid-50s. And after the chaotic withdrawal,
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: that's when his approval rating steeply declined. And it's all
• 38:47
  Speaker 13: attributable to what happened in Kabul, Afghanistan, in his first
• 38:51
  Speaker 13: year in office.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: So, John Decker, we were told very publicly that our
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: CIA director, John Radcliffe, had flown to Moscow to have
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: one-on-one meetings, we think, with Vladimir Putin. generally your CIA
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: guy is pretty stealth. What was the message from that,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: if any, that we are to derive from that?
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: Well, according to the Wall Street Journal's reporting, the message was,
• 39:18
  Speaker 13: do not think about moving further into NATO territory in
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: terms of your territorial ambitions. Now, this is not the
• 39:27
  Speaker 13: first time that a CIA director has traveled as you
• 39:31
  Speaker 13: put it, Curtis stealthily to Moscow to deliver a message
• 39:34
  Speaker 13: to Russia. It happened during President Joe Biden's time in office.
• 39:39
  Speaker 13: It was in November of 2021. And William Burns traveled
• 39:44
  Speaker 13: to Moscow to deliver a message, do not think about
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: invading Ukraine. And what happened several months later in February
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: of 2022, that's exactly what happened. So this message was
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: delivered by our CIA director under President Trump. And, you know,
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: we'll see whether that message was heard loud and clear
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: by the leadership of Russia, including Vladimir Putin.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, after Labor Day, John, I can't
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: imagine you're not going to be on the road a
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: lot during these midterms. I think that President Trump is
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: already kind of signal that he's going to be traveling
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: around the country. This is extremely important to his agenda,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: and maybe his future as president, if they were to
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: take the House and the Senate, I would think they'd
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: surely try to impeach him. So have we got any
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: insight to how much he's going to be out there?
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: Oh, he's going to be out there. And, you know,
• 40:40
  Speaker 13: when you think about those competitive Senate races, the races
• 40:43
  Speaker 13: in which Democrats believe they can flip Senate seats Those
• 40:46
  Speaker 13: are the places that the president will travel to. So
• 40:50
  Speaker 13: one place is actually Texas, and that's where the president
• 40:53
  Speaker 13: will travel to today.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: He'll be in Houston. There's a Texas Senate race.
• 40:57
  Speaker 13: And that is something that Democrats believe they can flip
• 41:01
  Speaker 13: and gain that seat. That would be pretty remarkable in
• 41:04
  Speaker 13: red Texas to flip a seat to the Democratic side.
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: The president will likely also travel to places like Ohio
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: and North Carolina, Iowa. maybe even all the way out
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: to Alaska to help out Dan Sullivan, who's in a
• 41:19
  Speaker 13: very tough re-election fight to win a third term.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: In the U.S. Senate.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Now, John, all the candidates out there, because it seems
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: like they're neck and neck races all over the place.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: saying to the president and his staff, we want a
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: little Darlene Graham love. We need the love. We need
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the support.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: And most importantly, we need that PAC money.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: You gave her close to a million dollars in the
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: waning days of her primary victory. We need some of
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: that love. Is the president ready to give out that money?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's sitting on about $ 300 million that could
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: be utilized in the campaign. And what about Elon Musk,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: who promised $ 100 million to Republicans so they could pay
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: people to go door-to-door to get their vote out?
• 42:06
  Speaker 13: Well, it's actually $ 400 million that MAGA Inc. has in
• 42:09
  Speaker 13: its campaign coffers, and you're right, they opened up those
• 42:12
  Speaker 13: coffers to help out Darlene Graham, and it worked. She
• 42:16
  Speaker 13: was the winner in that runoff election just the other day.
• 42:20
  Speaker 13: She'll be the Republican nominee for Senate in South Carolina.
• 42:24
  Speaker 13: But as you point out, That's a lot of money.
• 42:27
  Speaker 13: That's a ton of money. And it certainly can help
• 42:30
  Speaker 13: Republicans get out the vote. That's what the money was
• 42:32
  Speaker 13: used for in Darlene Graham's case. And, you know, when
• 42:36
  Speaker 13: you're talking about a very narrowly divided Congress, every little
• 42:40
  Speaker 13: bit counts. You also mentioned Elon Musk. He has made
• 42:44
  Speaker 13: that promise. I'm sure he'll fulfill that promise that he's
• 42:47
  Speaker 13: made in terms of spending money to get out the
• 42:49
  Speaker 13: vote for Republicans leading up to the midterms. So, you know, look,
• 42:54
  Speaker 13: I think that Republicans realize what's at stake and the
• 42:58
  Speaker 13: president realizes what's at stake. As you point out, Larry,
• 43:02
  Speaker 13: I do believe that if Democrats retake control of the House,
• 43:05
  Speaker 13: they will pursue impeachment proceedings against the president. I don't
• 43:09
  Speaker 13: know what on what grounds. But that's something that I
• 43:11
  Speaker 13: do expect will happen.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Has the head of the DNC been fired yet? Because
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: the money they've raised is pitiful. I mean, they're talking
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: about $ 16 million. The RNC has almost 10 times that
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: at $ 130 million. I don't understand what the Democratic National
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Committee has been doing all this time, if not raising money.
• 43:33
  Speaker 13: Well, yeah, they have some catching up to do, to
• 43:35
  Speaker 13: say the least. But what Democrats believe they have on
• 43:39
  Speaker 13: their side, it may not be money, but they believe
• 43:41
  Speaker 13: they have the energy. And it's a midterm election. So
• 43:44
  Speaker 13: President Trump's name will not be at the top.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Of the ballot.
• 43:47
  Speaker 13: And energy really matters in these midterms, you know, which
• 43:50
  Speaker 13: side can get out their side in greater numbers. And
• 43:53
  Speaker 13: Democrats believe that they can do just that. You know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: they point to what happened in that primary in Alaska
• 44:00
  Speaker 13: just the other week in which Mary Totola finished as
• 44:04
  Speaker 13: the top vote getter. in that primary over a sitting
• 44:08
  Speaker 13: incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. So that's just one example.
• 44:12
  Speaker 13: And there may be others as well. Susan Collins is
• 44:15
  Speaker 13: another one who's facing a tough re-election race. And, you know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 13: I mentioned where the president will travel. Let's not forget Maine.
• 44:22
  Speaker 13: The president most certainly will travel to Maine as well.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, very quickly, what's up with this fight with Canada?
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, couldn't have come at a worse time. We're
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: having an economic war with Iran. announced by the Treasury Secretary.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: What gives with this tariff war with Canada?
• 44:43
  Speaker 13: Well, I don't know. I mean, they are not only
• 44:46
  Speaker 13: our neighbor to the north, they are our second largest
• 44:50
  Speaker 13: trading partner. And now we're in the beginning stages of a,
• 44:54
  Speaker 13: not just trade dispute, but a trade war with Canada
• 44:57
  Speaker 13: that's going to affect both countries and potentially the economies
• 45:01
  Speaker 13: of both countries. Now, there's still time to call things off,
• 45:05
  Speaker 13: to let cooler heads prevail, to come to the negotiating table.
• 45:09
  Speaker 13: But there are no plans to do that just yet.
• 45:12
  Speaker 13: That's what our trade representative, Jameson Greer, said yesterday. He
• 45:15
  Speaker 13: did an interview with the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,
• 45:19
  Speaker 13: and he has indicated that the U.S. and Canada remain
• 45:24
  Speaker 13: far apart as it relates to sticking points, trying to
• 45:28
  Speaker 13: get a deal, a trade deal, between both countries.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: That can be found on the iHeartRadio app, and it's
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: a must listen. Thank you so much, John.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Larry. Thanks, Curtis.
• 45:46
  Speaker 13: Take care. Talk to you soon.
• 45:47
  Speaker 19: Bye-bye.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Well, we were just talking about the popularity of Donald
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Trump and how he has to get on in the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Republican Party, I should say, in the Republican Party. Just
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: how popular is he? Wait till you hear this CNN poll.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Even I was shocked at it. Plus, a chance to
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: see Chicago at age 25. Well, you just heard John Decker,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: a WOR White House correspondent, say a moment ago that
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: it is enthusiasm, either hatred, it's emotional, either hatred or
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: love or admiration or following that gets people out during
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: the midterms. And the popularity... Donald Trump in the Republican
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Party can't be discounted. That is going to drive Republican
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: votes more than anything else. Just like the other side,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: the hatred of Donald Trump is going to drive Democratic votes.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: But here's an interesting question. Just how popular is Donald
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Trump in the Republican Party? Now, you've seen the polls
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: that say he's got 90%, 92%, 89% approval in the
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Republican Party. But CNN, and this is CNN conducting this poll,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: CNN had a really interesting one. Who is the greatest
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Republican president of all time?
• 47:11
  Speaker 22: The president Republicans most admire.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: It's Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison.
• 47:16
  Speaker 22: A majority of Republicans say, 53% say he is the
• 47:19
  Speaker 22: Republican president they most admire. Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has
• 47:23
  Speaker 22: won that much. Donald Trump nearly triples up on this.
• 47:26
  Speaker 22: Reagan at just 18%. And then Abraham Lincoln, who by
• 47:30
  Speaker 22: most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time.
• 47:33
  Speaker 22: But Republicans say that the president that they most admire
• 47:37
  Speaker 22: by what is this?
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: This is six, seven times as many. Donald John Trump
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: at 53 percent.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: OK, now, I love Donald Trump. I really like him.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: I think he is a great president. But come on.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: It's a party of Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln. It's a party
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: of Lincoln.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: It's like you want to say Trump is second or
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: battle back and forth between Reagan.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: But acknowledge the roots of the party was Abraham Lincoln
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: in the roughest time other than the American Revolution and
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: George Washington. But they're not comparable.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: The country was going to split apart. He fought a
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: war to keep it together. And he had to navigate Congress.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: And it was there is really no comparison. It's just
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: it does show you the power of Donald Trump. And
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: you can remember that going in, by the way. They
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: would definitely be the three Republicans on Mount Rushmore if
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: there was a Republican great president, Mount Rushmore.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, you'd have to have Teddy Roosevelt.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: That's who I would say.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, you're speaking of the president in Texas.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz said yesterday, I want to be president. Not
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: in my lifetime, pal. Not in my lifetime. He's run
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a couple times.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: You know what? Let's see. He's going to run.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Everybody said that about Trump, too. Let's get to your talkbacks.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Good morning, guys. I was thinking Mary Tyler Moore, Louise Lasseter.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Mary Tyler Moore is a good one if you're talking
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: about people that have the popularity of someone like Dolly Parton.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: And others.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Who was the one you mentioned?
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, Lucille Ball. Yeah, Lucille Ball.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Lucille Ball, except that when you talk about Lucille
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: Ball and you talk about Dolly Parton, they were able
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: to build an empire. It wasn't just what they did
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: on TV.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Although, on National Dog Day yesterday, best friend the dogs
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: ever had was Mary Tyler Moore.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: So she's got that going for her.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: A good one, though.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: You know, she was absolutely universally loved.
• 49:39
  Speaker 23: Hey, just a note of information for tonight. A celestial doubleheader, potentially,
• 49:46
  Speaker 23: with a lunar eclipse that will happen, along with the
• 49:50
  Speaker 23: potential of seeing the northern lights. So hopefully the weather
• 49:56
  Speaker 23: will cooperate.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: You know how many times I've been told I'm going
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: to see the northern lights in my area, and I
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: get up and I look, and you don't see them?
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not falling for that again.
• 50:08
  Speaker 16: Larry, I saw them last year or the year before,
• 50:11
  Speaker 16: maybe both, for the first time. I never believed I
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: could see it up here in northern New Jersey.
• 50:16
  Speaker 11: It was incredible. And it was just a tinge of what,
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: you know, you would see in a really good location.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it doesn't matter for Nancy, my wife.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: She'll be howling to the blood moon that comes at
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: about 12 midnight tonight going into Friday.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: You going to be out there with her? Have to.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I have to.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 50:34
  Speaker 23: You going to howl?
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to watch her howl.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 50:40
  Speaker 19: So guys, guys, real quick before you dismiss Miss Heaton,
• 50:44
  Speaker 19: just make note, two successful series, not one, two Emmy
• 50:51
  Speaker 19: Awards for Outstanding Actress, her own production company, and outstanding
• 50:56
  Speaker 19: charitable work.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: That's not just in name only.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: The head of the Patricia Heaton fan club.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Man, I love the admiration.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: You have for her.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: That's from Everybody Loves Raymond, right? Yeah, yeah. No, I'm sorry.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton and Lucille Ball, to put her at that
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: same level?
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry. But she's up there in his opinion. Yeah,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: I would say B, B team, but not the A team.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 51:23
  Speaker 14: Just hearing your question, what's going on with Canada? I
• 51:27
  Speaker 14: think President Trump has completely miscalculated just how much influence
• 51:34
  Speaker 14: China has in Canada. They are very heavily vested in
• 51:40
  Speaker 14: that country, and that gives Carney a lot of leverage
• 51:45
  Speaker 14: when it comes to negotiating.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they have a wacky far-left leader. Of course,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: he's been over there. I heard him pledging allegiance almost
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: to Canada when he was visiting over there. So, yeah,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: that is absolutely in play. But let's not call a
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: game in the middle of it. Let's let this play
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: out and see what happens. But right now at 7.30,
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: we've got to get the news with Daria Albinger.
• 52:14
  Speaker 21: We'll see a high of 80 degrees and the city
• 52:16
  Speaker 21: is activating its storm emergency plan. If you live in
• 52:19
  Speaker 21: a flood-prone area, especially if you live in a basement apartment,
• 52:23
  Speaker 21: make sure you have a plan to evacuate if need be.
• 52:26
  Speaker 21: Nearly 25 years after the 9-11 attacks, we are finally
• 52:30
  Speaker 21: learning when the man, the feds say, Plan them.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: We'll go to trial.
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in 2003 and has been
• 52:37
  Speaker 15: held in Guantanamo Bay for the past 20 years. Prosecutors
• 52:40
  Speaker 15: sought a trial to start in 2027, but the judge
• 52:43
  Speaker 15: thought it was too soon and said it would instead
• 52:45
  Speaker 15: begin June 5th, 2028. Mohammed and two other 9-11 defendants
• 52:50
  Speaker 15: reached a plea agreement with the Biden administration, but it
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: was revoked after being condemned by 9-11 families. The new
• 52:56
  Speaker 15: trial date comes just weeks before the 25th anniversary of
• 52:59
  Speaker 15: the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people that day.
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 53:05
  Speaker 21: At least 160 people are dead after flash floods swept
• 53:09
  Speaker 21: the border of Nepal and Tibet, wiping out villages in
• 53:12
  Speaker 21: their wake. More than 1,000 are missing, including, we're told,
• 53:16
  Speaker 21: dozens of Americans. A $ 100, 000 reward is now being offered
• 53:20
  Speaker 21: for information which leads to the arrest of a suspect
• 53:23
  Speaker 21: who's believed to be behind two deadly shootings in less
• 53:26
  Speaker 21: than a week. One is of a deli employee in
• 53:28
  Speaker 21: the Bronx, the other of an employee at a pizzeria
• 53:31
  Speaker 21: in Brooklyn. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are among
• 53:35
  Speaker 21: a group of 24 states, along with the District of Columbia,
• 53:39
  Speaker 21: that are suing to block President Trump's order on mail-in voting.
• 53:42
  Speaker 21: They say it's unconstitutional. And there was a shark sighting
• 53:45
  Speaker 21: off the coast of Florida that's getting a lot of attention.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: A rare sight off Florida's Gulf Coast. A lemon shark
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: with a rare genetic mutation that results in a partial
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: loss of pigmentation. Lemon sharks typically have a solid yellowish
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: brown back. Researchers say that shark's condition has only been
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: documented about two dozen times in the wild.
• 54:04
  Speaker 21: That's ABC's Hannah Bataille. Yankees beat Houston. Mets fell to Milwaukee.
• 54:08
  Speaker 21: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 54:11
  Speaker 21: on 710WOR.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: So Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, also Republican candidate for governor,
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: says he's going to obey Kathy Hochul's new law about
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: police not cooperating with ICE. But, well, I'll fill in
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: the words after that but when we come back. In
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: the meantime, teachers make a difference each and every day.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Now is your chance to say thank you. iHeartRadio's Thank
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: a Teacher, powered by Donor's Choice. Nominate an outstanding public
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: school teacher who goes above and beyond for students. They
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: could be one of our $ 5, 000 winners for classroom supplies
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: and resources. Teachers give so much. Now it's our turn
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: to give back. So go ahead and nominate a teacher
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: right now at iHeartRadio.com slash teachers. Well, this is going
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: to be really interesting because I think Nassau County Executive
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman and Republican candidate for governor may now have
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: his issue. He's been coming up in the polls, but
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: he's still double digits behind. And as of right now,
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: you would have to expect that Kathy Hochul is going
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: to win easily. However, she has pushed forward and signed
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: legislation that to prevent local law enforcement from working with
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: ICE officers. And there's few exceptions to that, but they're
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: few and far between. And so she came out yesterday
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: warning Bruce Blakeman that he better get on board. It
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: was the only county in the state that hadn't signed
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: up for this. Everybody else said, yep, we're going to
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: do it, we're going to do it. So she was
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: waiting for Blakeman with this threat.
• 56:00
  Speaker 12: I expect him, like everybody else in this state, to
• 56:02
  Speaker 12: follow the laws of New York. And there are consequences
• 56:06
  Speaker 12: if you do not. And again, someone like that will
• 56:10
  Speaker 12: intentionally misrepresent, which is a nice way of saying lie,
• 56:14
  Speaker 12: about what we're actually talking about. Because we are not
• 56:20
  Speaker 12: disallowing cooperation with local law enforcement when it comes to crimes.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: If there's a crime in progress that They're not saying
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: you can't help at that point.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I got it. I got it.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: So if you're going to a crime and if there's
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: an illegal involved, then yes, it's okay. But that doesn't
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: cover everything. And Bruce Blakeman announced that he tried. He
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: looked at everything. He tried to get out of this,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: but no, he's going to follow the law.
• 56:51
  Speaker 24: This is one of the saddest days of my life
• 56:55
  Speaker 24: as county executive. that because of this terrible and bad
• 57:00
  Speaker 24: law that we have to adhere to, I know it's
• 57:08
  Speaker 24: going to make it more dangerous here in Nassau County.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: Yep, and if one thing were to happen with an
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: illegal in Nassau County, that could change the trajectory of
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: this race. I'll tell you, the one thing Bruce Blakeman
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: always had going for him, the one thing was... He
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: was the safest county, not only in New York, but
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: in America, according to U.S. News and World Report. And
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: much of that was because they worked with ICE. If
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: they arrested somebody and it was a criminal and they
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: were going to release him from jail, ICE just showed up,
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: no fuss, no mess. They were handed over. If there
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: was a criminal that they were going after, Nassau County
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: Police would help out.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: And so now.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: If something were to happen before Election Day with an illegal, well,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: that's going to be on Kathy Hochul's hands.
• 58:06
  Speaker 24: This law is written in the blood of the victims past,
• 58:13
  Speaker 24: present and future.
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: You see that he's already he's already playing it up.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I would have used another analogy because she went
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: out on a limb and said he's the only county
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: holding out from this. Well, when she was the county
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: clerk in Erie County, the Democrat county clerk, she was
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: the only county that refused to issue driver's licenses to
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens when Eliot Spitzer, the governor, won it.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: She made a national reputation. Oh, my dead.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Body, will an illegal alien get a driver's license here?
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: How quickly she changed. You know, she did the pirouette.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: But this goes back, unfortunately, to Ed Koch. He was
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: the one who first said, no, we're a sanctuary city.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: We're not going to cooperate with the immigration and naturalization
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: service because we want the illegals to come into a
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: police precinct and report crimes against them.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Rudy upheld it. Pataki upheld it.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: So unless there are these issues that Bruce can elevate
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: from the headlines and make it very personal. If I
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: were Kathy Ockel, I'd use that argument against him. And
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: then he can use the argument against her that, yeah,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: but when you were the county clerk, you defied Eliot Spitzer.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: You said, I stand alone. I don't care because I'm
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: doing the right thing.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: And I think it eventually comes down to in these
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: last two months, will there be issues in New York State?
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman can latch on to and say, you see,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: because of the lack of cooperation, this person did a
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: home invasion. This person walked into a grocery store, shot
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: it up, because then you personalize.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: God forbid killed someone. God forbid killed law enforcement. God
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: forbid that were to happen. But if that were to happen,
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: that will completely change the trajectory of the race. Because
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: he can point at her and say, we were the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: safest county in the country, and look what you did.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: He's going to get some tactical air support on the Hill.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: The Republicans who are in charge are going to have
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: hearings on this, and they're going to drag DAs from
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: New York City. in front of congressional hearings to explain
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: why they don't cooperate with ICE. Because it is splitting hairs,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: civilly and criminally. As you pointed out, you've got to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: participate on the criminal charge. But a civil charge is
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: you came in illegally. That's a civil charge. They're basically saying, no,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: we're not going to cooperate with you, even if there's
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: a crowd, even if there's a riot surrounding your detention
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: of this person who is here illegally. You're on your
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: own ice. And that's what leads to a lot of
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: the problems that we then see on video.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: They get amplified. And it's a bad.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Look, which, you know, law enforcement should be there backing
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: up the feds to make sure nobody gets hurt, not
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: just the ICE agents. the people that they've just detained,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: the crowd, everyone else who was involved in that situation.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the proof is going.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: To be in the pudding, and hopefully nothing happens. But
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: at that hearing down in Washington, Bruce Blakeman should be there.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: They should have him come down and testify.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: They probably will. I hope they do.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: They will elevate him because he could use that boost
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: as we will be in the final two months, which
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: will be a sprint.
• 1:01:22

  Speaker 1: We have Warner Wolf on Mondays. You're talking about the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: Mets and Citi Field?
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 15: It's taking a different turn, gentlemen, because we're not talking
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 15: necessarily about the Mets. We're talking about what's going on
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 15: at Citi Field tonight, which is Singles Night Out. OK,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 15: and you guys know that I've been excited to cover
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 15: this story because the Amazons are teaming up with Hot
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 15: and Social for pregame mixers to get conversation started between
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 15: people who may be looking for a relationship.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: Or something else these days, because that's how it goes.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 15: It's the first time a lot of the time when
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 15: I approach people, it's the first time people on the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 15: street are hearing about this event.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: At a game, get to talk, talk about the game.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: I would do it if I was single. I'm not single.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 10: That's very innovative.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe people could find their significant other there.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 25: I guess that's a good thing.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 22: I don't know.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Singles night? Oh, wow. I love that. It must be
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of single people out here in New York City.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: Singles night? Oh, I had no idea.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: I'd have to ask my husband if I can go.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 15: Look, most people agree that social media Change the dating game.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 15: That's kind of where our conversations were going after this.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 15: Once I asked about singles nights in the Mets. If
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 15: there's even a game anymore, right? This idea that guys
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 15: have game, girls telling me they don't have game anymore
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 15: because instead of approaching them when they see them on
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 15: the street, they're jumping into their Instagram DMs or they're
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 15: trying to find them on dating apps. Now, according to
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 15: a dating.com survey, 47% of people, that's nearly half, say
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 15: their relationship started with a direct message of some sort
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 15: on some social media platform.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: 47%.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 22: Wow.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: That's a lot. It's sad.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: I know people who've done it. Now, New Yorkers know
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 9: this struggle all too well. I don't know how young
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: people meet each other anymore.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: These dating apps.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 26: from what I hear, are filled with guys, and gals too,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 26: but guys, who ghost a lot, pretend to be somebody
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 26: that they're not. And I have to tell you, if
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 26: my daughter was single right now, I think I'd be
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 26: having a nervous breakdown.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 11: I think everyone's on their phone too much.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: Everyone's on all the social media too much.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: And, you know, you have to talk to people in person.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: Because a lot of people just meet through social media
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: and it can fool a lot of people. Like, you
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: get catfished a lot. People think they're dating Brad Pitt
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: or Holly Berry and not dating her. So, yeah, it
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: changed a lot.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 9: From what I see, dating seems pretty awful in New
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 9: York City. I don't think I'd want to be single
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 9: right now.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Wow, can I ask you a question?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the quiet storm here, Chris, who's one
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: of these Gen Zers.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: I could see him catfishing.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 15: Wait, I don't think you know what the term catfish is.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: He does not need to catfish anyone.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: That's twice now this week, Curtis.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 9: He does not need to catfish anyone.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 15: Chris is like the nicest guy ever.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: I think what happened just there is he just learned
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: a new term and used it incorrectly.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: I think he doesn't like me because last week he
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: said I had no drift.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 13: On Friday he.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Said I had no drift.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true. What is going on, Chris?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Well, anything to get him out of his shell. Notice,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: that got him to talk up.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Didn't it? I'm a little defensive. Yeah, I watch MTV.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: There's no need for Chris to be a catfish. So,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 9: I do want to call you.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: But let me ask you a question. Why the Mets?
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: The Mets, they're losers, right?
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: So are these loser men and loser women or teenagers?
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: Look, it makes all the sense in the world because
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: they're not going to watch the game.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 15: Well, look, okay, and maybe there's no need to watch
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 15: the game when you're a losing team, but it seems
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 15: like the summer of matchmaking here in New York City, though,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 15: because it's not just the Mets, right? There's a photo
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 15: booth in lower Manhattan that lets people take photos of
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 15: themselves and then gives you a photo of someone else
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 15: and their first name of the person you're compatible with,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 15: and you got to go find them.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 9: Okay, that's one thing.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 15: There's also another singles mixer coming up at the end
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 15: of September, where like 400 people are going to be
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 15: at this in-person mixer. But you can fall back on
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 15: those if you don't hit a home run at Citi
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 15: Field tonight, okay? And great question, Curtis. I asked people
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 15: if they felt The Mets are getting into matchmaking is
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 15: a little, you know, gimmicky.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: Probably. Probably. I mean, it's good. They get some money.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: Some people eat some people. Get a little drunk. Watch
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: a game.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: It is a gimmick.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: It shouldn't be that way.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can meet anybody out here. They got
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: a losing record.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: Let me check.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 9: He had a check.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: They got a losing record.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: That's the reason why. To attract fans and attract money.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the way I see it.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 9: Maybe both. Yeah, it's a good time. It's a reason
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 9: to come out. Another reason to get different people out
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 9: to the game. Yeah, people who don't care and want
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 9: to meet singles.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the Mets stink.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: That's the reason they're trying to do anything they can
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: to get people to.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: Go to the games.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 9: Chris, as a Mets fan, any rebuttal?
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 15: Because, you know, they had that purple guy.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Grimace?
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 9: That was a gimmicky thing.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: That ain't doing it. But they won when they had Grimace.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: They made it to the NLCS.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, until they Didn't win anymore. Yeah, but they had
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 9: a great year.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I will credit the Mets for honoring traditional marriage.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: They have Mr. Met, their mascot, and Mrs.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: Met.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: Listen, I just want.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: I got something going for me.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 9: I want Mr.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: And.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to be able to go to the
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 9: game tonight. I want Mr. and Mrs.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 15: Met or anybody in the crowd to let us know
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 15: if they see people who are single.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 15: And if they're on their phones scrolling through the dating
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 15: apps rather than turning to the person.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 9: Next to them to meet.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 15: How do I know who's single if I go? Oh,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 15: there's a wristband system.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 9: Thank you for asking.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 15: It'll disclose relationship status. Look at the wrist, ladies and gents.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 9: That's a great question.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 27: Yes.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 9: That's how you'll know.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: And nobody will be there catfishing? Well, I mean, you can't, right?
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 9: You're looking at the person's face.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: Sam.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 14: Game.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 9: It's all fair game.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: You just learned that term.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: I know, obviously.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Natalie Migliore. I'll be back to numb
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: you up.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: Well, perhaps the biggest story and the longest running story
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: of the day, because it changes everything, is this settlement
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: with Meta that runs, of course, Facebook. and others and Instagram.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: And it has come to an agreement where it is
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: going to pay $ 17 billion and put in restrictions on
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: its sites because they are basically admitting, although they won't
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: say this, they are basically admitting that they have constructed
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: their products so they are addictive and damaging to children.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: This is an amazing step forward. And a lot of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: states got involved in this, including New Jersey and New York.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, 48 states were involved in this,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: 51 if you include all the territories that were involved
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: in as well. But the lead was the DA in California.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: This is a major breakthrough, a milestone moment, a watershed moment,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: because when it comes to protecting our children's mental health,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 7: There is no time to lose. Instead of getting tied
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: up in years of trials and appeals, we have secured
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: the changes we were after.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: I call him a DA.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: He's the Attorney General of California. His name is Rob Bonta.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: And a big credit to him because they ran the
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: case out there because that is where Meta is headquartered.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: Let me give you some of the things that this
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: is going to mean. There's going to be a daily
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: usage cap. setting a two-hour daily limit that requires parental
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: permission to disable. So that's going to be automatic. Once
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: they get the age of a child or once a
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: parent wants that, then they're going to have this two-hour limit.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: Overnight curfews from midnight to 6 a.m. No child will
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: be able to get on any Metaproduct. It has curbs, too.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: Hiding counts, reducing notifications, and removing extreme makeup filters so
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: that these little girls can look like adult girls. Verification,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: implementing stricter age-checking tools. And so it is a sweeping reform.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: Does more have to be done?
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: But think about this. Now that this has happened, now
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: that they have admitted... their product is addictive and especially
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: addictive to young children and that it has done them
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: harm although they haven't come out and said that I
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: mean they are now saying we don't want any culpability
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: on this I get that but that you don't give
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: up 17 billion dollars and change your product completely without
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: some type of admission this means that all of the
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: other social media platforms are now on notice and they
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: have a choice Are they going to make these changes
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: now ahead of potential lawsuits now that you have precedent?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: Or are they going to try to fight this? My
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: feeling is everybody's going to fall in line.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: And there are others waiting to see what the Zuck
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: would do. Zuckerberg made a decision to go into court
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: and actually be willing to testify. And I think after
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: they just spent $ 2 billion in one quarter on legal
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: fees alone, because, you know, the ones who make money
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: on this are the lawyers. Imagine, in one quarter alone,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: that's three months, Mehta was billed $ 2 billion in legal fees,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: and then they told him, Zuck, you're going to get
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: on the stand, and they are going to report interviews
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: that you've done about your own two children. He has
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: two children now. that you would not allow your children
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: to use social media because it's bad for them. And
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: then your number one investor who really helped make Facebook
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: now meta was Peter Thiel, who has left the country.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: He's into this whole antichrist thing. He's living in Argentina
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: now with his husband and his children. Peter Thiel limited
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: his kids to an hour and a half a week.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Tim Cook would not let his nephew on social media.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: And even Bill Gates would not get his children a
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: cell phone until they were 14. Wouldn't even allow them access.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: So they were going to use all this information. It's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: sort of like, do as I say, but not as
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: I do. They knew the problems ahead of time. But
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: you know who the real heroes are in this whole thing?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Are all of the whistleblowers from Meta that came forward.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that changed that case. Whistleblowers and former
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: employees testified, for instance, that Meta held internal data proving
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: that Facebook and Instagram harmed young children, but hid those
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: findings from the public and even internal staff. They had
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: a former safety researcher... Arturo Behar, who testified that design
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: elements like infinite scrolling and autoplay and default popularity counters
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: were prioritized to boost engagement rather than protect kids. And
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: witnesses came forward claiming CEO Mark Zuckerberg chose a don't ask,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: don't tell approach and ignored internal warnings about critical safety
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: gaps while publicly claiming safety was his top priority when
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: he ignored safety completely. So all of that, Curtis, culminated
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: in in a $ 17 billion settlement. And I'm going to
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: give you a lot of credit because you said the
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: worst witness in the world would be the personality-laden CEO
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg in testifying because he was awful on the stand.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: But you know what was brilliant? They let him get
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: up and say all these things, and then they had
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: all of these witnesses coming up afterwards, all of these
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: whistleblowers saying, That was a lie.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: That was a lie. That was a lie. That was
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: a lie. And you know what they had? They had proof.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: They had memos. Yeah.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: And the other thing was, Meta, through Zuckerberg, kept saying,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: we can't be held responsible for what users post.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: By monitoring what they post, but it costs money to
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: do that. You see, I don't know how many times
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: people have tried to get in touch with these social
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: networking companies. It's like dealing with the Wizard of Oz.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: You never get a person on the phone. You have
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: to send an email. Maybe somebody gets back to you.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: So even if you're complaining, you don't know if this
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: is just going into this vast sort of chamber where
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: nobody ever gets answers. He clearly knew this was a problem.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: He was making a lot of money at that time.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: The investors like Peter Thiel and others knew it, but
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: they were just billions and billions and billions.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Who cares?
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we all assumed that in the past. Now we
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: know it for a fact. Now we know that there
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: was internal documents saying that, that they ignored and they
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: told everybody to ignore them. Curtis, I can't tell you
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: how big this ruling is. This changes everything.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. But I need you to do a deep dive.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: We don't have time to do this story today, but
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: apparently a bunch of towns in New Jersey that got
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: a payout from the opioid settlement, you know, from that
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: private company that was pushing those opioids, have spent the
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: money on all the wrong things. Now, the payouts are
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: going to take place, as you pointed out, $ 17 billion.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: And that doesn't even account yet for what TikTok has
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Snatch up.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: They were all waiting for meta first because they're going
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: to come in and settle. It's got to be a
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: way like we're getting a billion in New York state.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: How is that money going to be spent? Is it
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: going to be spent to protect children? or help children
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: who have mental health issues as a result of this addiction,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: which it is. Look, I'm addicted to it. I see
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden a scroll. I'm on a scroll.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: An hour later, I'm still on the freaking scroll. I'm saying,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I got other things to do.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 11: Oh, Curtis?
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: You're 100% right.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 16: It is not just kids that get addicted. I see adults, seniors,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 16: scrolling all the time.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the great harm is to kids.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 11: Oh, well, of course. But it is an addiction to everybody.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: And the fact is that I'm happy it was Zuckerberg
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: because he was always so righteous. you know, he would
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: act like there was nothing wrong with his stuff. But
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: when they uncovered all of this in depositions and in
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: deep research, you know, e-attorneys did.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: Whistleblowers.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: This is what you said. You won't even let your
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: kids anywhere near your own product.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: How many times?
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: It's like the AI data filing centers. If you were
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: to ask the proponents, would you want your home right
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: next to an AI data filing center?
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: Of course not.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Would you want your children or grandchildren to use your
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: social media products?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: Of course not.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: But it's good enough for the rest of the general public.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: There's not a jury you're going to be able to
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: convince after that.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: Well, the worst thing is that they lied. They lied
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: and they lied and they lied and they lied and
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: they knew the truth. And so my fear is that
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: all of these other companies, that X and all the
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: other social media sites, Twitch and whatever, all of them,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know them all, but all of them are
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: going to try to make some changes really quickly so
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: they don't run into this too.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the biggest question I have. They want
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: age proof. We all know we lied about our age
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: to get cigarettes, booze, beer. You know, there are different routes.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: It's more difficult than if you just go in and
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: use the product. But how are they going to guarantee?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: Because kids are going to figure it out faster than
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: the adults. I know my three sons. They run circles
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: around me when it comes to social networking. Look, I'm
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: a Luddite compared to them. Some of these kids are
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: going to figure out how to get around these firewalls.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: But they've done nothing. So doing something is what is
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: important right now. Let's take this as baby steps. I
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: want to look at this. I want to look at
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: this agreement, too, because if it precludes lawsuits from people
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: who were harmed by this, children that committed suicide across
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: the country, then I damn this agreement because they deserve
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: to be heard.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: And they deserve their day in court. I want to
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: take a look at it. I think you're right.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: And also I think Florida, to their credit, although I
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: want to do a deeper dive on that for tomorrow's program,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: I think Florida has been the lone wolf to say
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: that's good that they settled, but we're not settling.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: We're going into court. And you know Florida has led
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: on a lot of these things.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: To DeSantis' credit, along with his attorney general, they've been
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: in the forefront of this.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to take a deeper dive into it. But
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: right now, it's all good and it changes everything. And
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: guess what? Big news, at least for a whole lot
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: of people, including Natalie's daughter, Harry Styles.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: Starts a whole series of residency concerts here in New York.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it. When we come back.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: And in the meantime, here is something where you can
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: protect your children, too. You can protect your children by
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: getting a life vac. I've told you the story that
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: out west, a police officer happened to have a life
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: vac in his car when 911 was called, and he
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: saved a three-year-old's life. This is happening every month, every
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: week in this country, all across the world, as a
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, 6,000 lives. have been saved worldwide by LifeVac.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: And if you don't know what LifeVac is, LifeVac is
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: followed without success. That's important because you have the Heimlich, right?
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: And you have just patting somebody on the back, getting
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: them to try to cough something up. But then panic
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: sets in. When that doesn't work, and that's where life
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: vac comes in. Having something close by, having something that
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: can work immediately makes all the difference in the world.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: Preparedness matters. That's why I believe every home, certainly every
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: patrol car, every cafeteria in every school in America, and
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: every restaurant should have a life vac. Because maybe they'll
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: never need it, But my God, if they do, it's
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: going to be there. Having the right tool nearby can
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: make all the difference in the world. Learn more about
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net. and see
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: how you can be ready when it counts. Harry Styles
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: started his 40-night residency at Madison Square Garden.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 9: No, just 30.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 11: Just 30. Just 30.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm looking at an article that says 40.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: I was reading it right off the article.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: I felt safe.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 3: But how wonderful is it that he paid tribute to
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: Dolly Parton? He sang, I Will Always Love You. There
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: were images of Dolly Parton playing. And he opened up
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: for that by saying, we've got a couple of songs
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: left for you, but I first want to say a
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: proper thank you to all musicians over the years who
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: have inspired me. And then he paused and he said, Dolly,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: we love you. Thank you so much. And then went
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: into the song, I Will Always Love You with images
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: of Dolly Parton.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: That's wonderful.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: And then they said there was people in the crowd,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: including Drew Barrymore, that was that was crying when that happened.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: So what a what an incredible moment. And you may
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: it makes you like Harry Styles a little bit more.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: But you and your family, Natalie, don't need any prompting
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: and like, you know, a little bit more.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 13: No, no, no.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 11: We are a Harry Styles family.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 16: My daughter is a big One Direction fan when she was,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 16: you know, 11 and 12.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 11: Harry was always our guy because they have the same birthday. So,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 11: you know, that was her thing. And, yeah, and then
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 11: he became a megastar.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 16: And now he's doing these residencies that people, some people
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 16: are annoyed about this trend.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm a little confused.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: A residency, I'm thinking of an intern, a doctor, you know,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: doing a residency at a hospital.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: What is a residency?
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 16: Well, basically, they'll take over a venue. He has 30 nights.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 16: It's not consecutive, three days a week from now through
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 16: the end of October. But, you know, they'll plant themselves
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 16: in one place. So instead of touring, you know, two
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 16: nights here, three nights there, they'll do 30 nights.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 11: In one location, which is great when you live in New.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 6: York, right?
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 11: Okay, we're right here. But how about if you live
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 11: in Alabama? Now you've got to travel.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: You've got to get a flight.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 11: You have to get a hotel. You're eating out. It
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 11: becomes more expensive than the tickets are.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Well, as famous as Madison Square Garden, it's Las Vegas
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: where they do the residencies too.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no. It's a big deal.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 11: They do them all over. You know, any venue can
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: do a residency. He just had a whole bunch in Europe.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: Well, let's cut to the chase.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: How many concerts will your daughter be going to of
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: the 30 that are scheduled for Madison Square Garden?
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 11: Well, she's going Friday. She's going to the very last
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 11: one on Halloween. And maybe a few in between.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: She doesn't want to out her daughter. Let's get to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: some talkbacks. We were just talking about the meta thing.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: Conclusion of the trial with Mehta, taking some accountability.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 28: About Mehta, to be honest with you, I'm a technician,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 28: and though Mehta, in my opinion, has no fault in this,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 28: I fault the parents. I've seen parents give these kids
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 28: a phone when they're not old enough to understand the consequences.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 28: It's like giving a young person the keys to his car.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 28: They have no idea of the dangers.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: So I blame the parents.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: It's not an either-or thing. Yes, the parents do hold
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: some accountability, but META just basically said, yes, they were
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: manipulating this to be more addictive. And that's downright dangerous.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 27: I wish I could share your optimism with this META lawsuit,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 27: but META won.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: They make over a.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 27: Billion dollars every two days. So you're talking less than
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 27: a month they cover this expenses. This agreement is now
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 27: in effect. The states can no longer do anything. They
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 27: can't resue them. They put in a few restrictions and
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 27: that's it.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 4: And they move on. I think Meta ended up winning this.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 13: So it's great.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 27: We got some restrictions, but it's nothing and there's nothing
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 27: more they can do.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: And it costs them nothing.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I disagree.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: First off, there are a number of wrongful death cases
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: out there that are not at all covered by this
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: or wrongful injury cases.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: So this is just the first wave. for Zuckerberg.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: And remember, this is the guy who painted himself as
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: the defenders of the AI data centers. Could you have
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: a worse spokesperson now after this, where he admitted, yeah,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: we took advantage of your kids. We took advantage of
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: your kids. How do you blame the parents for something
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: like that? Now, Daria Albinger with the 830 News.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: Morning, Larry.
• 1:27:21

• 1:27:38
  Speaker 9: The three victims, all.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 15: Between the ages of 16 and 18, died after their
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 15: 2002 Cadillac Escalade braked sharply and was rear-ended by a

  Speaker 15: Honda HR-V that ended up partially.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 9: Pinned under the Escalade.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 15: Investigators say the Escalade was going 100 miles an hour
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 15: when it crashed, even though the speed limit on the
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 15: belt is 50. All three teens who died were not
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 15: wearing seatbelts and ejected from the SUV. All three teens
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 15: who died were not wearing seatbelts and were ejected from
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 15: the SUV, but two other teens in the vehicle who
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 15: survived were buckled up. The families of the boys tell
• 1:28:11

• 1:28:29
  Speaker 21: City residents are about to see a big jump in
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 21: their property taxes.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 25: Jersey City's council approved a 15 increase to the municipal
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 25: tax on Wednesday as they signed off on a revised
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 25: 2026 budget. A handful of residents showed up angry about
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 25: the steep property tax increase, urging the council not to
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 25: move forward with it. But council members say it's a
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 25: move to get Jersey City out of a big fiscal jam.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 25: Jersey City also got bailout money from the state. I'm

• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Zorhan Mandami and the Pierre Duterte Tax, better known as
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: the Second Home Tax. Larry, I still want to thank
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: you for that sea crane radio you gave me. I
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: was listening to it last night. I went to sleep
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: with it. Which angered my wife, Nancy, to no end. Well,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: In some areas right now, depending on where you live,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: you're hearing thunderstorms coming in. You're hearing the thunder. Just
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: imagine if there's a power outage. Just imagine if a
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: power outage was going to last overnight or a day
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: or a couple of days.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: What would you do?
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: Well, that's why you need the CC radio solar with Bluetooth.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: It's also called C-Cranes Wind-Up Emergency Radio, because that's how
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: they started out. To have a radio, you could just
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: wind up so it worked through emergencies. Now they have
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: solar power, the CC Radio Solar. So they have the
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: wind-up in the back, they have the solar panel on
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: the top, and it's got Bluetooth. It's a great radio
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: for those inevitable powerless times. It features that oversized solar
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: panel right on top, a built-in LED flashlight, and battery
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: strength meter to make sure that the batteries are okay.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, you can recharge these batteries. The CC
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: Radio Solar with Bluetooth is about the size of a brick.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: It's got a clean, modern digital design. I would put
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: it right there in the nightstand next to you. It
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: has five easy, one-touch memories, superior reception, and excellent audio.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: You can enjoy it home, on the road, on camping trips,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: off the road. It covers AM and FM weather and
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: NOAA weather alerts. Very important with impending weather. And even
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. So it can be your
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: favorite radio all the time for all the shows you
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: listen to, podcasts, music. To order the CC Radio Solar
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: with Bluetooth, the almost everything radio, call C-Crane now at 800-522-8863.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: Once again, that's 800-522-8863.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: Or visit them online at ccrane.com. That's C-C-R-A-N-E dot com.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: It's also available on Amazon. Wow, does this mayor do
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: anything right? Zoram Mamdani, every time he tries to roll
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: out a new policy that he promised when he was
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: running for office, it constantly, over and over, has been
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: backfiring on him. Nothing was worse than during the storms
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: when he wouldn't bring the homeless off the streets and
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: 22 died, but Since then, it's been issue and issue
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: and issue and issue. And now we have the Pierre
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 3: de Terre tax. So the Pierre de Terre tax is
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: a tax on second homes. It's supposed to go after
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: the rich. Because remember, he promised he was going to
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: tax the rich. And when Kathy Hochul said, no, no, no,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to put an individual tax on the rich.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to put an individual tax on businesses.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: I'm running for reelection. So they came up with this
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: Pierre de Terre tax. So allegedly just going after the rich.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: And first, when they put out a list of all
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: the people in New York that would have to pay
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: this extra property tax, it had 900,000 names. That was
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: the first mistake. They quickly fixed that one, I understand.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: Then it was 17,000 names. And quickly, everybody was doing
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: stories about people that were on the list that shouldn't
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: be on the list. Some of them lived in that home.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: Some of it was a second home. It didn't cost
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: that much. Some of it was their family living in
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: that home, and they just happened to have the same name.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: Mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake. And now another
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: list has been put out with only 10,000 names listed.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: And Zohra Mamdani has been asked about it. He was
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: holding a press conference yesterday, and of course it came
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: up from the media, who was reluctant to bring up
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: these things too much. But they brought it up yesterday,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: and he had an incredibly bogus excuse for it.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 29: We did not have access to the 2025 income tax filings.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 29: That is something that is typically released in February of
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 29: the next calendar year. The state has now provided us
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 29: with early access to those filings.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: He never requested those filings. never once requested them. His
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: request was dated August 12th, after this already happened. I mean, look,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: the guy is a great politician. He's got a nice smile.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: He handles the media beautifully. I get all of that,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: but it's vacuous underneath. He can't do these things he
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: claims he's going to do. So a new list is
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: put out. It's 10,000. So one third of the people
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: are taken off. And now there is a lawsuit. There
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: is a lawsuit from residents. There's a lawsuit from Stephen Fulop,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: who represents businesses.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 30: You're getting very little amount of money for a budget
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 30: that is massive, but you're putting a lot of pain
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 30: into this narrative here on how you treat the business
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 30: community or successful people.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: Is it worth it?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: I would say the answer is no.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: It keeps going down, the amount of money they're going
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: to get from this. First, with all the people on that,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: it was $ 1. 5 billion with $ 900, 000. Then when it was $ 17, 000,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: it was $ 500 million. Now, with another reduction, it's down
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: to about $ 300 million. And that's going to keep winnowing down.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: This is not what he promised. It's not what he
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: talked about during the campaign. And once again, we have
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: failure after failure after failure after failure. And will it
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: ever happen? We'll see. There is a lawsuit in courts
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: right now. And my guess is this Pierre Duterte tax
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: may never happen.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, it'll happen. And by the way. Why do you
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: say that?
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: The average New Yorker doesn't care, Larry. That the rich
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: have to pay a second tax. You really think that
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: this is the talk of the town?
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. No, you couldn't be more hopelessly wrong.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm not, because it just seems like everybody
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: is talking about it.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: Pierre Duterte. Yeah, they don't even know what the hell
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: that is. Come on, Larry.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: They know it's a tax. They know it's another failure.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: They know he can't get anything done. And they know
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: that he once again has failed. And he was unfairly
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: trying to tax people.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the guy that got all upset that
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: John was outside of his penthouse, Ken Griffin. I'm not
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: going to do business in New York. I'm taking everything
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: down to Miami.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: Guess what?
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: He's doing business in New York. This is a no
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: issue to average working class people, Larry.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: Did you see all the people that got notices? They
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: were working class people. Did you see how many were
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: going to have to pay this tax? No, it was
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: a bigger deal. Look, you defend this guy all the time.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not defending him.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: You do.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: You attack him on everything. And guess what? In the polls,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: he's at 69%. Oh, I know that. No mayor has
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: ever been at 69%.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: What does that mean, though, exactly? Does that mean he's
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: doing a good job?
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: What that means is you hit him on everything.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: Hold your powder dry until next year when the money
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: drives out and he's got to cut, cut, cut.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: So we're supposed to ignore everything he does?
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: You like to do that. I don't like to do that.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: Every mistake we have to pile up. Keep screaming, screaming,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: and guess what? Next year is when Doomsday hits.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden you go at the guy
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: because you'll have something of substance.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: Why does that make sense to you? That you don't
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: criticize them ever except for a certain date.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: That makes no sense. Larry, I'm out in the streets
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: and subways every day.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: So?
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: I haven't run into one person. who can even pronounce
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: this damn thing, and secondary, who is opposed to taxing
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: the rich.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've seen newscasts, right? You've seen newscasts. You've heard
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: other talk radio shows. You know that everybody is talking
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: about this and the fact that it's another failure. You
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: just don't want to talk about it. That's the difference.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: I'll talk about it. Because the people on the subway don't.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep... People in the subway, four million
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: a day. Do you bring it up? Four million.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 18: No.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: Do you bring it up? Of course you don't. So
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: how are they going to bring it up?
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: Not one freaking person can even pronounce this, Larry.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: Come down in the subways with me. They're interested in
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: the rats, the.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: Garbage, the homeless people, the emotionally disturbed people, the floods.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: So they're the only things that matter in this city.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Because that's what you got to do. There's going
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: to be floods today.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: You think the people are worried about, oh, is somebody
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: going to pay a tax on a second home? Or
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: my house is going to be flooded today and my
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: insurance doesn't cover it.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: You don't think failure after failure after failure after failure
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: is a big deal for a mayor who promised the
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: world and we fell for it.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: Look at the polls, Larry.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 14: 69%.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: Knock yourself out. Wait till next year. Keep your powder dry.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: If you were to rate everything by polls, we'd have
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: some huge problems in this country and not talking about
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: it is the worst thing you can possibly do. It's
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: not very wise. When we come back, oh.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a blood moon tonight and some
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: other things going on in the air. Is it really
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: going to happen? Is it really going to happen this time?
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about it next. Ah, oh, excuse me.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. I was thinking about the flood that's coming.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, real quick, Natalie, it's already rumbling out.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 4: There, right?
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 13: Rain.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 21: Rain.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 11: Lots of thunder for the past hour.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: Hunker down. There's more floods expected, ladies and gentlemen. Fill
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: the sandbags. But for yourself, prevent what's taking place, whether
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: it's rain, snow, sleet, or shine. And that is people
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: are getting your personal information. Yeah, data brokers. It's legal.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: People search sites. And sometimes you wonder all of a sudden, man,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: I'm getting spammed on my phone.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: Morning, noon, and night.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm not, the youth can be limited to the
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: number of times you spam me at two or three
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: in the morning, right?
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: That's not covered by meta.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, it's legal for
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: them to collect all your information, bundle it up, and
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: sell it. And they don't care who they sell it to.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: And people like yourself, you wonder, my God, I got
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: grandparents and parents who are being taken advantage of. That's
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: why you got to put up that firewall. I've done
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: it with incognito. Sure, I'm a well-known person. Okay, a
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: lot of people are going to come at me. They
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: might not come at you.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: But they don't care.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: All they got to do, if they got a thousand victims,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: one of them is going to go for it, and
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: then it's a payday. So if you get Incogni, I-N-C-O-G-N-I,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: it forces data brokers and people search sites to delete you.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: Then it keeps checking up on them because they're not
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: naive enough to believe that they don't have to do whack-a-mole,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: and they'll scrub your information from their sites. You lock
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: your doors every night. Tonight, lock down your address. Go
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: to incogni.com slash curtis. For 60% off. And don't keep
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: it to yourself. Share it with friends and relatives and
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: everyone else who is being disturbed morning, noon, and night
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: with information that they're wondering, how the hell did they
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: ever get their hands on it? That's INCOGNI.com slash Curtis. God,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: I just heard Ray staging. Does this mean Natalie's got
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: to fill up the sandbags again and everyone else has
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: to hunker down in New York City more?
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't remember a time, and I'm sure
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: there's some people out there that do, but this is
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: going to go well above the annual rate for rainfall.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: Well above now. And it's still, you know, we still
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: got months to go. So it's just been, well, you've
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: had to live through it, Natalie, storm after storm after storm.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's, I feel like, it feels like Florida, where
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 16: you just get these drenching rains everywhere.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: I mean, you know, raining all day, that happens. But
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 11: it's been continuous.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 16: But I did look at Ray's forecast for the weekend,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 16: and it's looking beautiful.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 11: If we have to take this.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: Tonight, unfortunately, my wife will not stay in the house
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: with inclement weather.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: She is going to.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: Be at 12, 12 a.m. Friday, howling at the blood
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: moon tonight. that some people will be able to see,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: I guess if you had a periscope or some kind
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: of telescope, but there should be cloud cover.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: And what else are they supposed to look at?
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: About 3 o'clock in the morning, there's like a three-hour
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: span where people will be out there.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: Staring up into space. What are they looking for, Larry?
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: Let's start this at 9.23. That's when the moon first
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 3: enters the outer part of the Earth's shadow. And then
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: the real action gets underway at 10.33 when the Earth's
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 3: shadow starts to envelop the lunar surface completely. appearing to
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: take a bite out of the lunar disk. And this
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: is when you're going to get that red moon as well.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: The eclipse will peak at 12 minutes after midnight with
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 3: more than 96% of the lunar surface shrouded. And then
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: it will all end at about three in the morning
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 3: when the moon exits the outer edge of Earth's shadow.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 3: So if he can stay up for that, it's going
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: to be quite a show. I think seeing the blood
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: moon and then seeing the total eclipse would be the
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: coolest things.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: And then you can go to bed after midnight.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: You know who's seeing blood? And he's demanded that the
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: CEO of the flock cameras... be in the Senate for
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: a hearing. I want all the data Howley of Missouri
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: says on September 8th. As this battle continues and the
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: CEO is saying, let's compromise.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: Time out. No mas, no mas. Let's compromise this. This
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: sweeps the nation.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: And you brought it to our attention, the flock cameras, remember,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: when it was being debated in Hartford in Connecticut.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what, this poor CEO, he's been
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: out in front. He went up to Connecticut. He talked
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: to the Senate up there. Anywhere they talk about this,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: he's willing to go to. He's already made concessions. But
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: here's the problem he has. This controversy is arising when
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: there's a midterm election coming up.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of anger out there.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 3: So they're going to jump all over that. By the way,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: we asked if anyone could compare to Dolly Parton this morning.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: Curtis mentioned Lucille Ball. That was the best one. The
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: talkback of the morning and winner of the Curtis Lewa
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt was very persistent
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: on his choice. Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond. Man,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: he is her biggest fan. He left several talkbacks. So
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 3: we award this for his determination, even if we may
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 3: not agree with him.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 4: So guys, guys, real quick before you dismiss Ms. Heaton.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: Just make note, two successful series, not one.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 5: Not one.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 19: Two Emmy Awards for outstanding actress, her own production company,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 19: and outstanding charitable work.
• 1:44:48

• 1:44:49
  Speaker 4: That's not just in name only.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm in now.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 17: I'm in.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: It's her.
