- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh she's back she's back natalie is back in studio
- 0:05Speaker 1: after doing rehab at home but still working uh with
- 0:09Speaker 1: the power of technology that exists now you are able
- 0:12Speaker 1: to zoom in for us from your home uh.
- 0:16Speaker 2: But meantime what it's done is it's knocked out of
- 0:19Speaker 2: the box the quiet storm oh poor chris On loan
- 0:23Speaker 2: from Mark Simone, who was starting to come out of
- 0:25Speaker 2: his shell. The guy was completely quiet for so long.
- 0:29Speaker 2: He was slowly but surely climbing out of that shell,
- 0:33Speaker 2: actually expressing himself. And now, I guess, with your reemergence, Natalie,
- 0:38Speaker 2: we've sent him back into his shell.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I just didn't want him to talk
- 0:42Speaker 3: too much.
- 0:43Speaker 4: He didn't. I don't know what Curtis was talking about.
- 0:47Speaker 4: He went from no words to maybe 15 in his show.
- 0:53Speaker 3: I want to thank Chris, though. I really do.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 0:56Speaker 5: And thank all of you guys for putting up with it. Crash,
- 1:00Speaker 5: you guys, everybody in the newsroom. I know it wasn't
- 1:03Speaker 5: convenient for everybody.
- 1:04Speaker 3: But I appreciate it. Thank you.
- 1:06Speaker 4: I saw you walking today.
- 1:08Speaker 6: Yes.
- 1:09Speaker 4: What were the real McCoys? Remember the real McCoys grandpa
- 1:12Speaker 4: and the real McCoys? That's who you look like when
- 1:14Speaker 4: you're walking. It's still stiff, right?
- 1:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Does it hurt?
- 1:18Speaker 3: Not really.
- 1:18Speaker 5: Although I got to tell you, this was the most
- 1:20Speaker 5: walking I've done in three weeks. I feel like I've
- 1:22Speaker 5: got a muscle cramp in my thigh.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Oh, that's right. You just came back with the new entrance.
- 1:30Speaker 4: You had to walk around. You got to walk an
- 1:32Speaker 4: extra block and a half.
- 1:34Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:35Speaker 2: But that's good.
- 1:36Speaker 3: I need the piece. My extra PT I'm getting in today.
- 1:38Speaker 3: So thank you.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, that's it. So from the time of
- 1:42Speaker 2: your procedure... to the time that you've walked into the
- 1:45Speaker 2: doors here of iHeart710WOR. It's been how many days?
- 1:49Speaker 3: It's three weeks today.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Three weeks today. Now, do you realize, Natalie, my dad
- 1:55Speaker 2: had this procedure in the 60s.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Oh, I can only imagine.
- 1:58Speaker 2: He had a knee operation. He was on the ship.
- 2:01Speaker 2: A barrel came on loose on deck and crashed down
- 2:05Speaker 2: on his leg. And I remember having to escort him
- 2:09Speaker 2: back and forth to– The Merchant Siemens Hospital on Bay
- 2:13Speaker 2: Street in Staten Island, he had to have surgeries. That
- 2:16Speaker 2: was back at a time when Mickey Mantle was well-known
- 2:18Speaker 2: for having knee surgery. This is in the 60s, where
- 2:21Speaker 2: you got to put an ace bandage on it. That
- 2:23Speaker 2: was it. And then you try to walk around. Boy,
- 2:26Speaker 2: the progress that's been made ever since. They didn't cut you, right?
- 2:31Speaker 5: No, I have two little dots. They went in arthroscopically.
- 2:35Speaker 5: So I have two, honestly, dots on my knee.
- 2:38Speaker 2: And that was it. It was.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Unbelievable. You're out the day of. I'm weight-bearing the day of,
- 2:46Speaker 3: walking out on my own. It was not comfortable for
- 2:50Speaker 3: the first two weeks, honestly.
- 2:52Speaker 4: When you say it wasn't comfortable, did it hurt?
- 2:54Speaker 2: You know what?
- 2:55Speaker 5: People keep asking me that. You know how every time
- 2:57Speaker 5: I go to the doctor for something, what's.
- 2:59Speaker 3: The pain level? I'm like, I don't know, a one,
- 3:02Speaker 3: a two, and they look at me. I said, well,
- 3:04Speaker 3: what's pain? I said, is it stiff and achy?
- 3:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I said, but that's not pain.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Right.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Equate that to pain. I said, so no, I did
- 3:12Speaker 3: not have pain.
- 3:13Speaker 8: Right.
- 3:14Speaker 4: It was always just stiff, right? You couldn't fully extend it.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 3:17Speaker 5: Still can't, but I'm working on it. But yeah, pain
- 3:19Speaker 5: medication they gave me, never took. I did the Advil
- 3:22Speaker 5: Tylenol thing for two days, and then I was done
- 3:24Speaker 5: with that.
- 3:25Speaker 4: But Curtis, you're absolutely right. The fact that they've come up,
- 3:29Speaker 4: the advances in medical sciences are amazing. I had a
- 3:32Speaker 4: knee injury one time that they thought was going, may have,
- 3:37Speaker 4: may take surgery. And This guy, who was very well-known
- 3:42Speaker 4: at the time, came with a bunch of students that
- 3:45Speaker 4: were following him, walked up to me when I was
- 3:47Speaker 4: sitting there, took out a needle, shot it in my knee,
- 3:50Speaker 4: and kept walking.
- 3:52Speaker 2: It was cortisone.
- 3:53Speaker 4: They gave me cortisone, and I was fine the next day.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing. And just to– this was not a
- 3:59Speaker 3: knee replacement. This was a meniscus. I mean, much different,
- 4:03Speaker 3: much different recovery.
- 4:05Speaker 4: So– Remember I told you, when you first had it,
- 4:08Speaker 4: I said, go get a shot of cortisone. Because I
- 4:10Speaker 4: think that solves everything, but not everything.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Not everything. But your tolerance for pain. You see, different
- 4:16Speaker 2: people have different tolerances for pain. Like when the doctor prescribes,
- 4:21Speaker 2: let's say, a painkiller, a strong painkiller, Percocets. They like
- 4:26Speaker 2: to give people Percocets. Some people can't take enough because
- 4:30Speaker 2: they just have no tolerance for pain or stiffness or
- 4:34Speaker 2: anything that, really gives them anxiety. What would you say
- 4:39Speaker 2: your tolerance for pain is?
- 4:41Speaker 3: Oh, it's pretty high. Considering I was walking for a
- 4:44Speaker 3: year with this problem.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Well, that's the problem. I have a high tolerance for
- 4:49Speaker 4: pain too. The problem is you catch things too late.
- 4:52Speaker 6: Right.
- 4:53Speaker 4: And some serious things you might catch too late. Like
- 4:56Speaker 4: you might have a nagging pain in your stomach and
- 4:58Speaker 4: think it's nothing and something you can deal with. And
- 5:01Speaker 4: then it turns into something serious. I've heard that happen. Many,
- 5:04Speaker 4: many times. So anytime you have the smallest pain, you
- 5:08Speaker 4: should get it checked.
- 5:09Speaker 2: You should. Yeah, but it is incredible because when I
- 5:13Speaker 2: think of all those boomers at the time in the
- 5:17Speaker 2: 60s who would end up with a serious knee injury
- 5:21Speaker 2: or a hip injury or a back injury or a
- 5:24Speaker 2: shoulder injury, and then you would never see them. They'd
- 5:27Speaker 2: be like sitting, you know, either in a wheelchair or
- 5:30Speaker 2: they'd be at home. They could barely get up. And
- 5:33Speaker 2: now through the modern medical miracles of whether it's surgery
- 5:38Speaker 2: or medication or lasers and even stem cells, which they
- 5:42Speaker 2: won't permit in this country, but you can go overseas
- 5:45Speaker 2: and get stem cells. It's just tremendous, the strides that
- 5:50Speaker 2: they've made. And it's even going to get better. Well,
- 5:52Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about AI, the data filing
- 5:54Speaker 2: centers later. It really now has become a national issue
- 5:58Speaker 2: for the midterms. The president is waiting on it. But
- 6:00Speaker 2: one of the positives clearly is in the field of medicine.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Yeah, and one of the greatest examples of exactly what
- 6:06Speaker 4: you're talking about is sports. Remember, it used to be
- 6:10Speaker 4: if you had a knee injury, you were out for
- 6:12Speaker 4: the season. I mean, some of the knee injuries that
- 6:15Speaker 4: are easily fixed now, now people are back in a
- 6:17Speaker 4: week and a half. It has been incredible, especially with
- 6:24Speaker 4: that type of injury, especially with the one that you
- 6:26Speaker 4: went through. That was amazing.
- 6:28Speaker 2: And I don't know why you were convalescing if you
- 6:31Speaker 2: saw in the New York Post the article on how geezers,
- 6:35Speaker 2: as they call them, our generation, geezers, right, baby boomers,
- 6:40Speaker 2: are dealing with pain in New York. They're going to
- 6:43Speaker 2: get reefer. They're going to get weed. They're smoking weed
- 6:47Speaker 2: in greater amounts than millennials or Gen Zers. And I
- 6:51Speaker 2: attribute this to the generation we grew up in in
- 6:54Speaker 2: the 60s where that was like– You know, that was
- 6:57Speaker 2: like crossing the Maginot Line. You don't smoke marijuana, you know.
- 7:01Speaker 2: But now it's legal. And I think the pent-up frustration
- 7:04Speaker 2: of a generation in the 60s that was told, no, no, no, no,
- 7:07Speaker 2: don't smoke, no, no, no. Now that they see that
- 7:10Speaker 2: it's legal, they can't get enough of it. I find
- 7:13Speaker 2: that unbelievable that the number of users is greater, 55 plus,
- 7:18Speaker 2: than amongst millennials who are younger and obviously Gen Zs
- 7:21Speaker 2: who are younger. I don't think it's them who are
- 7:24Speaker 2: vaping at 12 noon in Midtown here when the purple
- 7:28Speaker 2: haze rolls in. But apparently the stats, they have to
- 7:31Speaker 2: keep stats, you know, at these legal dispensaries where they
- 7:35Speaker 2: sell marijuana. It's 55 plus.
- 7:38Speaker 4: You know, I have a hard time believing that only
- 7:40Speaker 4: because what I see with my own eyes. I mean,
- 7:43Speaker 4: when I'm walking around the streets of not just New York,
- 7:45Speaker 4: but any city that is now legalized marijuana. Tell me
- 7:49Speaker 4: if I'm not right about this. Everybody you see smoking
- 7:52Speaker 4: marijuana on the streets, they're younger. They're in their 20s
- 7:55Speaker 4: or 30s.
- 7:56Speaker 3: But I think they're not doing it in the streets.
- 7:58Speaker 3: They're doing it in their homes. I think it's a
- 8:01Speaker 3: different group.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Do you know anybody?
- 8:03Speaker 9: Yes.
- 8:03Speaker 4: You do know people that smoke pot at home?
- 8:06Speaker 10: Oh, God, yes.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Really?
- 8:07Speaker 4: I don't know a person. I don't know a single person. Yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 4: I do.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Well, maybe, Larry, they do it, but they know your opinion,
- 8:15Speaker 2: so they don't let you know.
- 8:16Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, maybe.
- 8:17Speaker 4: I don't care if they do. I really don't care
- 8:19Speaker 4: if they do. When I was younger, I tried it.
- 8:22Speaker 4: It's just that, you know, like I curled up in
- 8:24Speaker 4: the corner in a fetal position, so I knew it
- 8:26Speaker 4: wasn't for me. You know, that was not– it was
- 8:28Speaker 4: not going to work for me, but– But, yeah, I
- 8:32Speaker 4: didn't care. I used to go to parties where they
- 8:33Speaker 4: were smoking. I got secondhand smoke and, you know, went
- 8:36Speaker 4: and curled up in the fetal position again because it
- 8:40Speaker 4: had a horrible effect on me.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Well, guess what? You're getting secondhand smoke in the streets
- 8:44Speaker 2: of New York City with a purple hand.
- 8:46Speaker 4: I've heard it. What is the one that smells like skunk?
- 8:50Speaker 4: There is one that smells like skunk. Have you smelled it.
- 8:53Speaker 2: As you're walking around?
- 8:54Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 8:55Speaker 12: Cheap.
- 8:56Speaker 4: They should outlaw just that.
- 8:58Speaker 3: It's cheap weed.
- 8:59Speaker 4: It could be cheap, yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Speaking of purple, I don't know if you guys have
- 9:02Speaker 5: heard this. Have you heard about the purple meanie? The
- 9:05Speaker 5: jellyfish that's hitting the Jersey Shore?
- 9:07Speaker 2: I have, yeah.
- 9:08Speaker 3: That's stinging people?
- 9:09Speaker 4: I know, I know. And it's supposedly a vicious sting.
- 9:14Speaker 5: I saw a kid over the weekend come out of
- 9:17Speaker 5: the water with his mom up to the lifeguard station
- 9:20Speaker 5: and you know, in tears, holding his hand.
- 9:23Speaker 3: He's like, and he wasn't talking. The mom's like, he
- 9:26Speaker 3: was stung. He was stung.
- 9:28Speaker 5: And I really think this could have been it because he,
- 9:31Speaker 5: it didn't look like a regular jellyfish problem.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Wait a minute. Over the weekend, you saw this?
- 9:38Speaker 7: I did.
- 9:38Speaker 3: I went to the beach.
- 9:39Speaker 4: You went to the beach? You didn't come into work though.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I didn't.
- 9:43Speaker 2: As part of your rehab, you went to the beach.
- 9:45Speaker 3: You know what?
- 9:46Speaker 5: The funny thing is I did get cleared by the doctor.
- 9:49Speaker 5: So I went, And they told me, sand is going
- 9:53Speaker 5: to be tough. You make sure somebody's holding you. They're
- 9:56Speaker 5: absolutely right.
- 9:59Speaker 3: I was walking like a step a minute.
- 10:02Speaker 2: On the matter of the jellyfish, when I was a kid,
- 10:04Speaker 2: I went and spent a summer down in Miami Beach
- 10:06Speaker 2: with my uncle and aunt, Lou Chia and Jimmy Scavone.
- 10:12Speaker 2: And they had the lifeguards put out the jellyfish warnings.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Don't go into the surf jelly. Ah, what do you
- 10:17Speaker 2: mean jellyfish? I went in there. Boy, did I get stung. Afterwards,
- 10:22Speaker 2: whenever I saw jellyfish wanting in the surf, I wasn't
- 10:26Speaker 2: going in. Man, does that hurt.
- 10:29Speaker 4: I don't mind the stinging one. What are the little
- 10:31Speaker 4: ones that make you itch?
- 10:33Speaker 5: Oh, the ones that are like little pieces that get
- 10:35Speaker 5: stuck in your hair?
- 10:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can't get it off you. You take
- 10:40Speaker 4: a shower, you're trying to get it off you. Whatever
- 10:43Speaker 4: that is, I hate them. I'd rather be stung than
- 10:46Speaker 4: deal with that.
- 10:47Speaker 2: What about you?
- 10:47Speaker 4: Go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us a talkback. You
- 10:50Speaker 4: could win a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the

- 10:54Speaker 4: our favorite talkback of the morning.
- 10:56Speaker 2: While you're there.
- 10:57Speaker 4: You might as well just go ahead and set a
- 10:58Speaker 4: preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talk back
- 11:03Speaker 4: of the week takes on the Seacrane Radio for the
- 11:06Speaker 4: listener who demands better. Seacrane Radio's with legendary reception. When
- 11:12Speaker 4: we come back, I don't know if you've heard about it,
- 11:14Speaker 4: but another aging popular music star, Lionel Richie, had to
- 11:18Speaker 4: be taken to the ICU. We'll update his condition. Plus,
- 11:22Speaker 4: you have a chance to see.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Who do you have to say?
- 11:29Speaker 14: Air Supply.
- 11:29Speaker 4: Air Supply, yeah, at age 25. Now, as somebody who
- 11:33Speaker 4: spent a career reporting the news, I know how quickly
- 11:36Speaker 4: an ordinary moment can turn into an emergency. It just
- 11:39Speaker 4: happened out in California. Happened within the last 10 days.
- 11:43Speaker 4: A child was choking. They called the police. Luckily, the
- 11:47Speaker 4: police officers in this small California town had a life
- 11:51Speaker 4: vac in the patrol cart. They saved this child's life.
- 11:55Speaker 4: That child would not be living if it wasn't for LifeVac.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Choking is one of those moments that can happen to
- 12:02Speaker 4: anyone at any time, a child, a parent, a grandparent,
- 12:06Speaker 4: when it does seconds matter. That's why I want to
- 12:09Speaker 4: tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is the first and only
- 12:12Speaker 4: FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device that can be used for second-line
- 12:18Speaker 4: treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed without success.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Think about how many people that has saved worldwide, LifeVac.
- 12:30Speaker 4: How many situations where the first line treatments didn't work,
- 12:34Speaker 4: like the Heimlich. We're talking about over 6,000 people worldwide.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Real people, real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having
- 12:44Speaker 4: the right tool nearby can make all the difference in
- 12:48Speaker 4: the world. So you need to go to LifeVac today
- 12:50Speaker 4: at LifeVac.net. That's lifevac.net. Visit lifevac.net and see how you
- 12:58Speaker 4: can be ready when it comes. Well, Lionel Richie is
- 13:02Speaker 4: certainly a performer that needs no introduction, right?
- 13:06Speaker 2: All night long. All night.
- 13:09Speaker 6: All night.
- 13:10Speaker 2: All night long.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Yeah, so many hits, including All Night Long. He was
- 13:19Speaker 4: one of the key forces in bringing together all of
- 13:23Speaker 4: those entertainers, much loved in the music industry, and bringing
- 13:26Speaker 4: together all those performers for We Are the World. And
- 13:30Speaker 4: if you saw the documentary, when somebody was getting out
- 13:33Speaker 4: of line, it was Lionel Richie that went over and
- 13:35Speaker 4: talked to them. Well, he's having trouble going all night
- 13:39Speaker 4: long these days. He's 77 years old. And this is
- 13:43Speaker 4: first reported by TMZ. He's had a couple incidents recently.
- 13:48Speaker 4: One just on Sunday night when he was performing in Minneapolis.
- 13:54Speaker 4: And it was during that song, all night long, that
- 13:57Speaker 4: he had to motion to people offstage to bring out
- 14:00Speaker 4: a chair so he could sit in a chair and
- 14:03Speaker 4: finish the song. Now, he went to the hospital and
- 14:06Speaker 4: he was put in the ICU immediately. They believe it's
- 14:09Speaker 4: only dehydration this time. But if you remember, this also
- 14:14Speaker 4: happened in St. Louis just a couple of weeks ago
- 14:18Speaker 4: when he said to the audience, hey, I'm a little
- 14:24Speaker 4: dizzy right now. And he took a break and he
- 14:26Speaker 4: went to the hospital back then. And there is a
- 14:29Speaker 4: concern right now, which is why he's released from the hospital,
- 14:33Speaker 4: but there's a concern by doctors that that there might
- 14:36Speaker 4: be something else going on. So they're going to give
- 14:39Speaker 4: them further tests. So I will tell you what, this
- 14:43Speaker 4: is just the latest in a string of performers of
- 14:48Speaker 4: that age, anywhere from 65 to 85, that are still
- 14:55Speaker 4: performing and just can't make it through a whole tour.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Well, you'd say to yourself, Rod Stewart, a whole bunch
- 15:02Speaker 2: of others, why even go out there? sell tickets only
- 15:08Speaker 2: to have to cancel at the last second or maybe
- 15:11Speaker 2: in the midst of your performance have to bag out
- 15:14Speaker 2: it just doesn't make any sense the previous engagement you
- 15:18Speaker 2: were talking about remember I questioned they said that a
- 15:21Speaker 2: member of Earth, Wind & Fire had gotten ill before
- 15:24Speaker 2: the start of the concert they were the opening act
- 15:26Speaker 2: for Lionel Richie I said that doesn't make sense Earth,
- 15:30Speaker 2: Wind & Fire okay if one of the members isn't
- 15:32Speaker 2: available the show must go on right Lionel Richie, obviously,
- 15:37Speaker 2: there's nobody to replace him. And right then and there,
- 15:39Speaker 2: you began to realize that was a full arena, 18,000 people.
- 15:43Speaker 2: So I just say, if you can't do it, don't
- 15:46Speaker 2: push it. I know the money's good.
- 15:49Speaker 4: It's really good. That's where they make their money because
- 15:53Speaker 4: they don't make as much money on the records. It's
- 15:55Speaker 4: the composers. Especially now. It's the people that write them.
- 15:59Speaker 4: It's kind of always been that way. The writers make
- 16:01Speaker 4: most of the money. It's their song, after all. So
- 16:05Speaker 4: the money is made on this, on touring, and we're
- 16:09Speaker 4: talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, so it's really
- 16:13Speaker 4: difficult to give up. Lionel Richie still sells out. I mean,
- 16:17Speaker 4: there's a lot of current performers that have had to
- 16:20Speaker 4: cancel their tours because they don't sell out. Guys like
- 16:22Speaker 4: Lionel Richie still sell out.
- 16:24Speaker 2: My suggestion to Lionel, please, one more facelift and your
- 16:28Speaker 2: face will snap like an old rubber band. Leave it alone.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Leave it alone, Lionel.
- 16:32Speaker 4: I thought you were going to tell him to rest.
- 16:34Speaker 2: That's interesting.
- 16:35Speaker 15: Wow.
- 16:36Speaker 4: All right, let's get some talkbacks.
- 16:40Speaker 11: I had to see your back and feeling better. It's
- 16:43Speaker 11: like you were a missing part of a family or
- 16:48Speaker 11: whatever because the other kid really didn't say anything. But
- 16:52Speaker 11: as far as the weed, yeah, my father's a baby boomer,
- 16:57Speaker 11: and I'm a millennial, and he smokes way more weed
- 17:01Speaker 11: than I do. I got to go to the dispensary
- 17:03Speaker 11: like once a week because of him.
- 17:05Speaker 4: He sounds like he's talking right now. Doesn't he? He
- 17:08Speaker 4: sounded like.
- 17:10Speaker 3: I love that he goes to the dispensary for his
- 17:12Speaker 3: dad to get the weed. That's a nice son.
- 17:15Speaker 4: It is a nice son, although he takes his vig.
- 17:18Speaker 4: He takes his cut.
- 17:20Speaker 16: I'm 62 years old right now, and I've smoked marijuana
- 17:23Speaker 16: for the last 40 years. No cigarettes. It's marijuana. And
- 17:29Speaker 16: the stinky stuff you're smelling, we call it skunk weed.
- 17:33Speaker 16: Really good stuff.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Oh, well, now I'll know when I'm smelling skunk. At
- 17:41Speaker 4: least I know somebody's enjoying themselves.
- 17:43Speaker 2: I am telling you the baby boomers out there are
- 17:47Speaker 2: consuming more than the millennials and the Gen Zers. They
- 17:50Speaker 2: just don't do it as publicly as those young huckleberries do.
- 17:55Speaker 4: Well, now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 630 News. And, Daria,
- 17:59Speaker 4: I know you're bracing for it, but I promise you
- 18:02Speaker 4: I won't ask you. About it?
- 18:04Speaker 2: You know what? I'll just say this.
- 18:05Speaker 17: The generation that said don't trust anybody over the age
- 18:08Speaker 17: of 40, they're now saying don't trust anybody under the
- 18:11Speaker 17: age of 60.
- 18:13Speaker 4: That's a great point.
- 18:15Speaker 17: And you can fill in the blanks between there. So
- 18:17Speaker 17: there is heavy rain in the forecast today. Good day
- 18:20Speaker 17: to stay inside doing whatever it is you like to
- 18:22Speaker 17: do inside. Or you can do that outside too, I guess.
- 18:24Speaker 17: City storm emergency plan is in effect. Take some extra
- 18:27Speaker 17: time on the commute this morning if you live in
- 18:30Speaker 17: a flood-prone area. like a basement apartment, have a plan
- 18:33Speaker 17: to move to higher ground before the water rises. Emergency
- 18:36Speaker 17: work on the A, B, C, and D subway lines
- 18:39Speaker 17: is over, and service is back to normal in time
- 18:42Speaker 17: for the morning commute, but the work yesterday to fix
- 18:44Speaker 17: those cracks under the tracks at 81st Street and Central
- 18:47Speaker 17: Park is just a temporary fix. The Supreme Court says
- 18:51Speaker 17: construction can continue on the White House ballroom.
- 18:54Speaker 8: The justices did not rule on whether the project is legal,
- 18:57Speaker 8: only that the preservation group that sued to stop it
- 19:00Speaker 8: has no standing to sue. So the bottom line is
- 19:03Speaker 8: all the guarantees the ballroom will be substantially completed before
- 19:06Speaker 8: any final judgments, even though Justice John Roberts himself acknowledged
- 19:11Speaker 8: the project is likely unlawful.
- 19:13Speaker 17: That's ABC's Karen Hwan. Washington Chief Justice John Roberts joined
- 19:17Speaker 17: the court's three liberal justices in the 5-4 ruling. There
- 19:20Speaker 17: was a deadly standoff in Times Square.
- 19:23Speaker 18: A woman armed with two knives at 41st and 7th,
- 19:26Speaker 18: a little before 4.30 p.m. Monday.
- 19:29Speaker 19: The subject, armed with two knives, approached a man who
- 19:32Speaker 19: had just exited the subway and was standing with his
- 19:36Speaker 19: wife waiting to cross the street.
- 19:38Speaker 18: Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the attacker stabbed the 68-year-old
- 19:42Speaker 18: man in the abdomen.
- 19:43Speaker 2: He's stable.
- 19:44Speaker 18: She then stabbed a 32 year old woman also in
- 19:47Speaker 18: the abdomen.
- 19:48Speaker 2: She died. The woman confronted by cops.
- 19:51Speaker 19: She told the officers quote I'm not dropping anything. I
- 19:55Speaker 19: would rather kill both of you. She repeated, I will
- 19:59Speaker 19: kill you.
- 20:00Speaker 18: After that, officers shot and killed the woman. Andrew Whitman,
- 20:04Speaker 18: WOR News.
- 20:05Speaker 17: Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple today
- 20:07Speaker 17: in his final memo to the company. He praised employees, saying,
- 20:11Speaker 17: The truth is, whatever there is to say about my success,
- 20:14Speaker 17: I know it is all because of you. The Mets
- 20:17Speaker 17: won and the Yankees lost. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins
- 20:20Speaker 17: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 20:21Speaker 2: 17 hours of deliberation in the Lindsay Clancy trial. Jurors
- 20:28Speaker 2: went home yesterday at 4. They'll be back at 9
- 20:31Speaker 2: this morning. We'll discuss the deliberations up next. Let me
- 20:35Speaker 2: tell you, there's a nurse on Long Island. She's 33
- 20:39Speaker 2: years old. She sold an old iPhone on Facebook Marketplace.
- 20:45Speaker 2: It was just one listing. That was it. It was over.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Sale done. Then all of a sudden, the guy who
- 20:50Speaker 2: answered it, who was a total stranger from New Jersey.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Over the next three years, he became obsessed. He collected
- 20:59Speaker 2: her phone number, all of her personal information, data about
- 21:03Speaker 2: family and friends. Then he found her parents' home address.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Then he showed up. Threats, packages, unwanted arrive, late-night visits
- 21:13Speaker 2: to the house, the complete catastrophe. She did everything right,
- 21:18Speaker 2: and she still couldn't get them off her doorstoop. Why?
- 21:22Speaker 2: Because we have data brokers and people search sites that
- 21:26Speaker 2: collect all of your information, bundle it up, and then
- 21:29Speaker 2: sell it to whoever's willing to pay for it. And
- 21:31Speaker 2: believe it or not, it's legal. So what you have
- 21:34Speaker 2: to do is build a firewall and don't be selfish.
- 21:36Speaker 2: It shouldn't just be for yourself. This can affect family members,
- 21:40Speaker 2: especially older folks who are a little more naive about
- 21:43Speaker 2: these kinds of things. I use Incogni and you should too.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Get a pen and a pen. You want to write
- 21:49Speaker 2: this down because it forces the data brokers and people
- 21:53Speaker 2: search sites to delete you and then keeps checking to
- 21:55Speaker 2: make sure that your information is no longer online. So
- 22:01Speaker 2: if you lock your doors every night, responsibly, right? And
- 22:05Speaker 2: you need to lock down your address and your personal information.
- 22:08Speaker 2: The way to do it, build that firewall with incogni.com
- 22:12Speaker 2: slash Curtis. You get 60% off now. Remember, go to
- 22:16Speaker 2: incogni.com slash Curtis. So Larry, 17 hours of deliberations by
- 22:25Speaker 2: the jury in the case of Lindsay Clancy, mother killing
- 22:30Speaker 2: her three kids. No notes, no sense of this tension
- 22:35Speaker 2: in the jury room, at least that we can tell.
- 22:37Speaker 2: But the jury went home yesterday at four o'clock. They'll
- 22:40Speaker 2: reassemble today at nine. But an interesting side issue that's
- 22:46Speaker 2: emerged was brought to our attention by our own Gen Z-er,
- 22:49Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore. And it's not coming from the people who
- 22:53Speaker 2: are outside professing support for Lindsay Clancy, mostly women wearing pink,
- 22:59Speaker 2: some men. But apparently, if you go online, and I
- 23:03Speaker 2: couldn't believe it when she told us yesterday, there's this
- 23:06Speaker 2: whole sort of subculture that's trying to blame this killing
- 23:11Speaker 2: on the husband, even though Lindsay Clancy herself has said,
- 23:14Speaker 2: I did it. I killed my three kids. And her
- 23:17Speaker 2: defense attorney has said, oh, yeah, my client has killed him.
- 23:21Speaker 2: But because of her psychological status, we believe she's guilty
- 23:27Speaker 2: by reason of insanity and needs to be committed. She
- 23:29Speaker 2: needs help. They got it so that they're claiming that
- 23:36Speaker 2: the husband was having an affair. He plotted this. He
- 23:40Speaker 2: drugged her. He made her crazy. He killed her kids.
- 23:44Speaker 2: And the defining reason they use for Patrick Clancy is
- 23:49Speaker 2: that within four months, he was already remarried. So they've
- 23:52Speaker 2: gone into their whole world. So the longer this deliberation
- 23:56Speaker 2: goes on, the crazier it gets out on the social
- 24:00Speaker 2: networking world.
- 24:01Speaker 4: Well, you heard me yesterday with Natalie, and I don't
- 24:04Speaker 4: want to speak for Natalie, and I don't want to
- 24:05Speaker 4: talk about her position that much because she's not here
- 24:08Speaker 4: to defend herself. But you're right. She is just one
- 24:13Speaker 4: of apparently thousands of people, women mostly, who want to say, no,
- 24:19Speaker 4: the guy did it. They don't want to believe that
- 24:22Speaker 4: a mother would do this. They don't want to believe
- 24:24Speaker 4: that a woman would do this. And for that reason,
- 24:27Speaker 4: even though we have GPS to prove that he was
- 24:31Speaker 4: not there at the time of the murder, even though
- 24:33Speaker 4: we have phone calls to prove that he was not
- 24:35Speaker 4: there at the time of the murder, even though we
- 24:37Speaker 4: have eyewitnesses to prove he was not there at the
- 24:40Speaker 4: time of the murder, they want so much to believe this.
- 24:46Speaker 4: that they will go online, that they'll argue that, no,
- 24:49Speaker 4: this is what had to happen. Now, look, I get it.
- 24:53Speaker 4: There are some bad things. The fact that he remarried
- 24:56Speaker 4: four months later, the fact that they had arguments all
- 24:59Speaker 4: the time, the marriage wasn't going well. She obviously had problems.
- 25:03Speaker 4: He was not as sympathetic to those problems as he
- 25:06Speaker 4: should be. He was a horrible witness. showing very little
- 25:10Speaker 4: emotion when he took the stand. So there was a
- 25:13Speaker 4: problem with that marriage, and that may have been why
- 25:17Speaker 4: she killed these children, to get at him and then
- 25:19Speaker 4: to try to kill herself to make him feel bad.
- 25:23Speaker 4: That's not a good reason to kill three children. Kill yourself.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Just go ahead and kill yourself.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Well, the other strain of sympathy seems to come, as
- 25:33Speaker 2: you know, at the end of her killing all three
- 25:34Speaker 2: of her children and the last one trying to run
- 25:36Speaker 2: away from her. And she grabbed the child and strangled
- 25:40Speaker 2: the child is when she threw herself out the play
- 25:43Speaker 2: class window, the second floor, and now is a paraplegic
- 25:46Speaker 2: because she's in the wheelchair. So some people are saying, well, look, look,
- 25:50Speaker 2: she's a paraplegic for life. What are you going to do?
- 25:52Speaker 2: Keep her in a state prison, you know, for the
- 25:56Speaker 2: rest of her life. So I wonder if any of
- 25:59Speaker 2: these things that we've talked about are preying on the
- 26:01Speaker 2: minds of jurors, because, you know, as much as they've
- 26:03Speaker 2: been told by the judge, don't pay attention to what's
- 26:06Speaker 2: going on out there. newspapers, online, TV, especially online. You
- 26:12Speaker 2: know they're all online.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I do, and the way I believe what's going on,
- 26:18Speaker 4: and I really don't know, I have no idea, it's
- 26:20Speaker 4: just that I can't believe that after seeing all this
- 26:25Speaker 4: testimony that points to her as the killer, that did
- 26:30Speaker 4: it meticulously, that planned everything, that bought the material for
- 26:35Speaker 4: that went online looking up what she should do and
- 26:38Speaker 4: how she should do this. This wasn't just that day.
- 26:41Speaker 4: This wasn't just a psychotic moment for her. She was
- 26:46Speaker 4: planning this. And then all of a sudden later, oh yeah,
- 26:50Speaker 4: now I heard voices. My fear is that there's one
- 26:53Speaker 4: person in that jury room, one person just like we
- 26:58Speaker 4: hear about the Gen Zers that bought this.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I think, Larry, you won't get the life without parole.
- 27:06Speaker 2: I don't think you'll get that. I think it's closer
- 27:08Speaker 2: if you want to see that she does time the
- 27:11Speaker 2: manslaughter because they had to prove that there's no premeditation,
- 27:15Speaker 2: didn't act with malice. You know, it's a much easier lane.
- 27:21Speaker 2: for jurors to take, and I think that's why the
- 27:23Speaker 2: judge threw that in at the last second when he
- 27:25Speaker 2: charged the jury.
- 27:26Speaker 4: But there's obvious premeditation, right? There's obvious premeditation. I believe so, yes. Yeah,
- 27:31Speaker 4: so how do you ignore that? You would have to
- 27:35Speaker 4: now lie to say, I don't believe there was premeditation. No,
- 27:38Speaker 4: the jurors don't believe that. I know that they have
- 27:41Speaker 4: to agree on something, but wow, that would be a
- 27:44Speaker 4: greater injustice.
- 27:45Speaker 2: I think the hardest thing for a juror, whether male
- 27:48Speaker 2: or female... It's why would a mother do this unless
- 27:52Speaker 2: she was really psychiatrically impaired?
- 27:55Speaker 4: I think you're exactly right. I think you're exactly right. But,
- 27:59Speaker 4: you know, any murderer has something wrong with them. There's
- 28:02Speaker 4: not anybody that's going to take another person's life that
- 28:05Speaker 4: doesn't have something a little bit off. I get that
- 28:09Speaker 4: people look at a mother killing three children and say
- 28:12Speaker 4: that just can't happen in this world, that there has
- 28:15Speaker 4: to be something else wrong with her. I get that.
- 28:18Speaker 4: But she did it. She did it. And she planned it.
- 28:21Speaker 4: And she carried it off. And as you stated a
- 28:23Speaker 4: second ago, she chased after one of the children. And
- 28:27Speaker 4: this was days of planning this. They have her internet records.
- 28:31Speaker 4: This was days of planning this. Now, there's something wrong
- 28:34Speaker 4: with this world if this woman doesn't get life in
- 28:37Speaker 4: prison where she can sit and stew and is a.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Talkback said yesterday, think about what she did.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Real quick, you know, our own Natalie Megliore is right
- 28:46Speaker 2: now getting opinions from people in the streets on this
- 28:48Speaker 2: very issue. She'll be with us at the end of
- 28:51Speaker 2: the 7. Good.
- 28:52Speaker 4: Yeah, let's not ask her about her theory on it.
- 28:55Speaker 2: No, no. But apparently it's common with a lot of
- 28:59Speaker 2: Gen Zers, believe it or not. I didn't believe it
- 29:02Speaker 2: until I actually researched it.
- 29:04Speaker 4: But you know what I'm like. She may never get
- 29:06Speaker 4: to a soundbite. That would be a real problem. When
- 29:11Speaker 4: we come back, man, the flock cameras. We started talking
- 29:16Speaker 4: about this over a month ago, and it has grown
- 29:19Speaker 4: to one of the biggest issues in the country. More
- 29:23Speaker 4: communities are now banning it. We'll talk about it when
- 29:27Speaker 4: we come back.
- 29:29Speaker 17: And....
- 29:30Speaker 4: The iHeart Radio Music Festival, presented by Capital One, is back,
- 29:35Speaker 4: featuring live performances by Benson Boone, the Goo Goo Dolls,
- 29:38Speaker 4: Kenny Chesney, Laney.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Wilson.
- 29:40Speaker 4: What a lineup, and there's more than that. September 18th
- 29:44Speaker 4: and 19th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two nights,
- 29:47Speaker 4: one stage. While the world is listening on iHeartRadio, you
- 29:52Speaker 4: can be there. Three chances every weekday for you to
- 29:56Speaker 4: win your trip for two, plus $ 1, 000 in spending money.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Next chance to text and win happens at 9 o'clock
- 30:03Speaker 4: this morning on 710WOR. Well, Curtis, this flock issue that
- 30:09Speaker 4: we've been talking about very early on in the issue
- 30:12Speaker 4: has blown up across the country. Dozens of cities and
- 30:17Speaker 4: towns have canceled. suspended or just rejected flock contracts. Communities
- 30:23Speaker 4: like Walton County in Florida now have gotten rid of
- 30:26Speaker 4: their contracts. Hoppington, Massachusetts, Oconee County in South Carolina. We've
- 30:35Speaker 4: been talking about Governor Abbott in Texas, but also Governor
- 30:39Speaker 4: Josh Shapiro has stated that the state police and the
- 30:42Speaker 4: Department of Transportation do not use flock cameras anymore. and
- 30:47Speaker 4: barred them from any state property. Now, a lot of
- 30:50Speaker 4: other places across the country have said, in Florida, by
- 30:54Speaker 4: the way, in Florida, they said, you can't use it
- 30:56Speaker 4: on any of the state roads anymore. So it is growing.
- 31:00Speaker 4: And the problem is, Curtis, it's not the flock system.
- 31:05Speaker 4: It's human beings. It is police officers all across the
- 31:09Speaker 4: country that get on there, sometimes in the middle of
- 31:12Speaker 4: the night, to track their ex-wife or an old girlfriend.
- 31:16Speaker 4: One guy that is in a small town in Texas
- 31:19Speaker 4: that's a police chief used to sneak in in the
- 31:22Speaker 4: middle of the night, and apparently he looked every single
- 31:25Speaker 4: night as to where she was. He looked at her
- 31:29Speaker 4: 10,000 times. 10,000 times. How is that even humanly possible?
- 31:35Speaker 2: Well, that's what Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, was
- 31:38Speaker 2: talking about. I know the CEO of Flock has been
- 31:44Speaker 2: more involved in trying to put up guardrails than the
- 31:47Speaker 2: CEO of the companies that are trying to push an
- 31:50Speaker 2: AI data filing center in your backyard. That's for sure.
- 31:54Speaker 2: But he's trying to run and put out fight. There
- 31:57Speaker 2: is anger out there. There is anger from citizens, period.
- 32:01Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, Republican, Democrat, Independent. This is angry at
- 32:06Speaker 2: a system that never consults them. All of a sudden,
- 32:09Speaker 2: they find out this is what this technology is doing,
- 32:12Speaker 2: and they say, how come we weren't ever told? How
- 32:15Speaker 2: come we're finding out after the fact? That's why the
- 32:18Speaker 2: CEO of Flock, who's doing a good job, I recognize it.
- 32:22Speaker 2: He's humbling himself. He's not like the defenders of the
- 32:26Speaker 2: AI data filing centers, arrogant, belligerent. He's saying, no, no,
- 32:30Speaker 2: we're going to put guardrails in. We want partners. He's
- 32:34Speaker 2: using that language. We need partners to be able to
- 32:36Speaker 2: do this.
- 32:37Speaker 4: But think about him. It's not his fault.
- 32:39Speaker 2: It's not his fault. But I think there's this angry
- 32:43Speaker 2: wave in America. I sense everywhere people are just angry.
- 32:48Speaker 2: And I think in many instances, it's like Orwellian. They're wondering,
- 32:53Speaker 2: why is all this information being collected? What are people
- 32:55Speaker 2: doing with it? And nobody ever explains it to them
- 32:58Speaker 2: until all of a sudden their backs are to the wall.
- 33:01Speaker 4: There's a lot of information out there. People just form
- 33:05Speaker 4: an opinion and they stick with that opinion. And that's
- 33:07Speaker 4: one of the biggest problems. We were talking about the
- 33:09Speaker 4: guy in Texas. This is happening across the country. There
- 33:13Speaker 4: was a police chief in Georgia. And it turns out
- 33:15Speaker 4: it's a police chief in small towns a lot. that
- 33:18Speaker 4: was looking up his old girlfriend and would go and
- 33:21Speaker 4: like 50 times a night would look at where she's going.
- 33:24Speaker 4: And she spoke out yesterday.
- 33:26Speaker 20: I was angry.
- 33:27Speaker 2: I was disgusted.
- 33:28Speaker 21: I thought, it's like, there's no way this is possible.
- 33:32Speaker 21: Most of his searches were, you know, after work, middle
- 33:36Speaker 21: of the night, you know, midnight to the morning. I
- 33:40Speaker 21: know one of the days he looked me up 29
- 33:42Speaker 21: different times in one day.
- 33:44Speaker 4: So Derek Langley is the CEO you're talking about.
- 33:47Speaker 2: You think that guy is obsessed at a police chief?
- 33:50Speaker 4: But he's not alone. It's the same story all across
- 33:54Speaker 4: the country. People go in the middle of the night
- 33:56Speaker 4: and use this to look up old girlfriends. And so
- 33:59Speaker 4: you feel bad for Derek Langley, the CEO of Flock, who, yeah,
- 34:03Speaker 4: he's come out and said, look, we're going to get
- 34:04Speaker 4: written permission from now on. We're only going to keep
- 34:08Speaker 4: the information for seven days because he's 90% of the
- 34:11Speaker 4: crimes can be solved in seven days. So he's doing everything,
- 34:15Speaker 4: but nobody's really listening to him now.
- 34:17Speaker 10: I value my privacy. My family values their privacy. My
- 34:20Speaker 10: employees value their privacy. But what we're talking about is
- 34:23Speaker 10: safety as well. And so I think when people talk
- 34:25Speaker 10: about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing
- 34:29Speaker 10: the wrong thing. What we have to prioritize as a
- 34:31Speaker 10: country is compromise. How do we have our safety and
- 34:34Speaker 10: how do we balance privacy?
- 34:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that ship has sailed. There is such
- 34:40Speaker 4: a movement in this country against flock.
- 34:42Speaker 7: I know.
- 34:43Speaker 2: And this is going to impact midterm elections. People don't understand.
- 34:46Speaker 2: People come out when they're angry, not when they're happy.
- 34:49Speaker 2: You know, when they have full bellies and they're happy.
- 34:51Speaker 2: You know, I'll wait for the next. When people are angry,
- 34:55Speaker 2: no matter what it is.
- 34:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 34:56Speaker 2: They come out.
- 34:57Speaker 4: But it's a weird anger. It's a weird anger, not
- 34:59Speaker 4: based on anything. But, oh, I just learned something. Let
- 35:02Speaker 4: me get mad about it.
- 35:03Speaker 5: I just think I think one of you might have
- 35:05Speaker 5: spoken about this before. You know, CEOs always used to
- 35:09Speaker 5: be very methodical and look at all of the angles.
- 35:13Speaker 5: I just think with technology, it's fast, first, furious.
- 35:17Speaker 3: Like, you've got to move fast, fast, fast. And they're
- 35:19Speaker 3: forgetting about all these other parts that they used to do.
- 35:22Speaker 5: Like, let's look at the implications of what possibly could
- 35:24Speaker 5: happen if somebody wanted to do something bad with this.
- 35:27Speaker 3: They just want to get it out fast.
- 35:29Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we have to remember, because we always say
- 35:33Speaker 4: negative things about Flock. It's been involved in solving one
- 35:37Speaker 4: million crimes.
- 35:37Speaker 6: Right.
- 35:38Speaker 3: But if they had taken one extra step beforehand.
- 35:42Speaker 4: How did they know? How did they know that there
- 35:43Speaker 4: was going to be a human being in the middle
- 35:45Speaker 4: of the night that was going to sneak in and
- 35:46Speaker 4: look at his girlfriend?
- 35:47Speaker 3: Because we all know people do bad stuff.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what. The CEO didn't see that coming.
- 35:55Speaker 4: And he's shocked at it. And that's why he's out
- 35:58Speaker 4: in front. He's going, don't blame me. But we found
- 36:02Speaker 4: seven missing kids this week.
- 36:04Speaker 2: He feels like a hero. Red states, blue states, it
- 36:07Speaker 2: doesn't matter. But up next, we're going to be talking
- 36:09Speaker 2: with WOR White House correspondent John Decker, the latest on
- 36:13Speaker 2: the war with Iran. Also, Trump's ballroom. United States Supreme
- 36:19Speaker 2: Court gives him the okay to continue. And also, AI. Yep,
- 36:25Speaker 2: the president had to address the data filing centers. And boy,
- 36:29Speaker 2: he was.
- 36:31Speaker 2: He was rough on any of you who are out
- 36:34Speaker 2: there protesting it. All of that after the 7 o'clock news.
- 36:38Speaker 4: Well, John Decker, W.O.R. White House and Washington correspondent and
- 36:41Speaker 4: host of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with
- 36:44Speaker 4: John Decker. You can find that in the iHeartRadio app,
- 36:47Speaker 4: by the way. It really gets you started for the day.
- 36:50Speaker 4: Everything coming out of Washington, he covers. But let's start, John.
- 36:53Speaker 4: Thanks for joining us again. Let's start with the Trump
- 36:58Speaker 4: administration announcing what they said was the biggest oil deal
- 37:02Speaker 4: of all time, which gives them access to 65 billion
- 37:06Speaker 4: barrels of oil reserves in Venezuela. I think his hope
- 37:13Speaker 4: is that the oil prices will come down before people
- 37:17Speaker 4: start making decisions about the midterms. But I would believe
- 37:22Speaker 4: it would take a little bit longer than that.
- 37:25Speaker 18: Well, you're right.
- 37:25Speaker 6: You know, there are a lot of things that need
- 37:27Speaker 6: to happen before we see gas prices come down as
- 37:31Speaker 6: a result of this oil deal that the president announced
- 37:34Speaker 6: first on social media over the weekend.
- 37:37Speaker 2: These are oil patches, essentially, and.
- 37:40Speaker 6: It's not necessarily true that oil is going to start
- 37:43Speaker 6: gushing out of these patches. So that's problem number one.
- 37:47Speaker 6: Literally billions of dollars needs to be invested to extract
- 37:51Speaker 6: that oil from And the oil itself is not going to,
- 37:54Speaker 6: you know, essentially get to gas stations all across the
- 37:57Speaker 6: country with the oil that the president's referring to. It
- 38:01Speaker 6: would be used to replenish the strategic petroleum reserves, which
- 38:05Speaker 6: have been depleted significantly by 40 percent since the beginning
- 38:12Speaker 6: of this conflict with Iran. So that is really the
- 38:15Speaker 6: goal here. And of course, the president's hope of, you know,
- 38:18Speaker 6: seeing gas prices, at least oil prices come down, were
- 38:24Speaker 6: dashed because of now the resumption of the military conflict
- 38:29Speaker 6: over the weekend involving the United States and Iran.
- 38:32Speaker 2: All right, John Decker, put your constitutional hat on to
- 38:36Speaker 2: the United States Supreme Court, which back to back has
- 38:40Speaker 2: dealt with the president's desire to complete his ballroom underneath
- 38:44Speaker 2: the White House, the 90,000 square foot ballroom. There was
- 38:49Speaker 2: an issue statement. Now the full court ruled on it.
- 38:53Speaker 2: I think people look at that and they say, John,
- 38:57Speaker 2: sometimes it takes years for an issue to get to
- 39:00Speaker 2: be reviewed by the United States Supreme Court. Why is
- 39:03Speaker 2: this going so rapidly? How can it go so rapidly?
- 39:08Speaker 6: It's going so rapidly because of emergency appeals that have
- 39:12Speaker 6: been filed by the Supreme Trump administration. They have lost it,
- 39:17Speaker 6: both the trial court and the appellate court level. They
- 39:20Speaker 6: made an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. And
- 39:25Speaker 6: we were surprised yesterday with a decision that was rendered
- 39:28Speaker 6: by all nine justices.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Yesterday, five to four decision.
- 39:32Speaker 6: And the majority ruled that the entity that was bringing
- 39:35Speaker 6: this lawsuit in the first place did not have legal
- 39:39Speaker 6: standing to bring this constitutional issue to the courts in
- 39:44Speaker 6: the first place. What Does that mean it means that
- 39:47Speaker 6: the entity that brought the lawsuit was not harmed in
- 39:50Speaker 6: any way? And for that reason, the Supreme Court said
- 39:54Speaker 6: we're not going to essentially stop any kind of construction
- 40:00Speaker 6: on that ballroom, which has been going on for months.
- 40:03Speaker 6: You know, it it it takes place 20 hours a day,
- 40:06Speaker 6: seven days a week. And the work continues. Interestingly enough,
- 40:11Speaker 6: writing a dissenting opinion was the chief justice of the U.S.
- 40:15Speaker 6: Supreme Court. He joined the three liberal justices in saying
- 40:20Speaker 6: that he believed that the administration would ultimately lose because
- 40:26Speaker 6: he believes that because Congress has not given approval to
- 40:30Speaker 6: this project, the project should not move forward.
- 40:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to get back to Iran for a
- 40:36Speaker 4: moment because I was surprised when Donald Trump yesterday said
- 40:41Speaker 4: that he's not really sure if they're talking to the
- 40:44Speaker 4: right people. He's not really sure of who is in
- 40:47Speaker 4: charge right now. He said, I don't even think they
- 40:50Speaker 4: know who is in charge in Iran. Can you comment
- 40:53Speaker 4: on that and tell us, do we know who's in
- 40:55Speaker 4: charge of Iran?
- 40:57Speaker 6: Well, I mean, there are three entities that, you know,
- 40:59Speaker 6: have been dealing with this conflict. One is the mullahs.
- 41:03Speaker 6: You know, the supreme leader always has essentially a seat
- 41:07Speaker 6: at the table and making these very important decisions.
- 41:10Speaker 2: On behalf of Iran.
- 41:12Speaker 6: Then you have the political leadership in Iran, individuals like
- 41:16Speaker 6: the speaker of the Iranian parliament. And then you have
- 41:19Speaker 6: the IRGC, the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps. They, too, have
- 41:23Speaker 6: a seat at the table. So that's the way that
- 41:26Speaker 6: Iran is run today. And essentially, you have to get
- 41:29Speaker 6: an assent from all three of those types of individuals
- 41:33Speaker 6: that I mentioned before anything is agreed to in Iran,
- 41:37Speaker 6: especially something as important as ending the war or bringing
- 41:42Speaker 6: a halt to the fighting between the United States and Iran.
- 41:45Speaker 6: So that's who essentially has been running Iran. That's who
- 41:50Speaker 6: the U.S. has been dealing with. for the most part. So,
- 41:53Speaker 6: for instance, Larry, when way back on April the 11th,
- 41:58Speaker 6: when Vice President J.D.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Vance led a U.S.
- 42:01Speaker 6: Delegation, they met with Iranian negotiators in Islamabad, they were
- 42:06Speaker 6: simply meeting with the political.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Leadership of Iran.
- 42:10Speaker 6: And then they'd have to take what was proposed by
- 42:13Speaker 6: the U.S. to those other two entities before getting assent.
- 42:17Speaker 6: And obviously, all three Bodies that I'm describing have not
- 42:22Speaker 6: agreed in any way to ending this war or, for
- 42:25Speaker 6: that matter, reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- 42:27Speaker 2: You mentioned Vice President J.D. Vance. He went to attempt
- 42:32Speaker 2: to deal with Maine and the Republican Party there. He
- 42:36Speaker 2: would not answer any questions about the economic war against Canada,
- 42:41Speaker 2: the tariff war. He was in Michigan, wouldn't answer any
- 42:44Speaker 2: questions about that. That's obviously a midterm issue in some
- 42:49Speaker 2: of the border states. Do you see that being resolved?
- 42:52Speaker 2: Because that certainly does hurt our border states because of
- 42:57Speaker 2: their trade back and forth with Canada. Oh, you're right, Curtis.
- 43:02Speaker 6: And it's one of those issues that could lead to
- 43:05Speaker 6: the defeat of Susan Collins, who's a Republican running for
- 43:10Speaker 6: another term in the U.S. Senate, and she is the
- 43:13Speaker 6: only Republican running running for reelection in a state won
- 43:17Speaker 6: in 2024 by Kamala Harris. So she has some headwinds.
- 43:21Speaker 6: And now there's another headwind, and that's this trade war
- 43:23Speaker 6: or trade dispute between the United States and Canada. And
- 43:27Speaker 6: there are other border states, as you mentioned, Curtis, that
- 43:30Speaker 6: are dealing with this because of the enormous amount of
- 43:32Speaker 6: trade between the United States and Canada involving places like
- 43:36Speaker 6: Michigan and Iowa. And interestingly enough, there are Senate races
- 43:40Speaker 6: there as well. You asked me, will it get resolved?
- 43:44Speaker 6: I think that Susan Collins and those other Republicans that
- 43:47Speaker 6: are running in November certainly hope it gets resolved soon
- 43:50Speaker 6: because it is making their life more difficult in terms
- 43:56Speaker 6: of trying to win reelection, in her case, to the
- 43:59Speaker 6: Senate and in some other cases to Congress for Republicans
- 44:03Speaker 6: that represent districts that border Canada. And so we'll see
- 44:08Speaker 6: what happens. You know, right now, it doesn't look like
- 44:10Speaker 6: there is any movement in terms of resolving that trade dispute.
- 44:14Speaker 4: The Trump administration and several Republicans, by the way, are
- 44:17Speaker 4: blasting Prime Minister Mark Carney. They're saying he didn't want
- 44:21Speaker 4: a deal all along, that they had a deal, and
- 44:24Speaker 4: at the last minute, he pulled out of it. He
- 44:27Speaker 4: won election on this issue of being anti-Trump and anti-American,
- 44:32Speaker 4: and his popularity has gone up since this tariff deal
- 44:35Speaker 4: has happened. Exactly the opposite in our country, but in Canada,
- 44:39Speaker 4: apparently this is popular. Yeah, he is.
- 44:42Speaker 6: You know, we're talking about like super popular, like an
- 44:46Speaker 6: 80 percent approval rating right now for Mark Carney. And
- 44:49Speaker 6: you're right, Larry, he did campaign on getting tough or
- 44:53Speaker 6: remaining tough with the United States as it relates to
- 44:56Speaker 6: trade negotiations. And he's following through in that promise. So
- 45:00Speaker 6: difficult to see how, you know, there's any concession made
- 45:04Speaker 6: by Canada when, you know, he's popular in the positions
- 45:07Speaker 6: that he's taken so far in this trade dispute. That
- 45:11Speaker 6: also makes it difficult to get to the point where
- 45:13Speaker 6: this trade dispute is resolved.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Speaking of disputes, the president has jumped in both feet
- 45:19Speaker 2: on the proliferation of the AI data filing centers throughout
- 45:23Speaker 2: America in blue states, red states. It doesn't matter. And yesterday,
- 45:28Speaker 2: I don't think he made any verbal statements, but he
- 45:31Speaker 2: published on Truth Social that. Simply that if you're opposed
- 45:36Speaker 2: to these data centers, then I guess you want to
- 45:39Speaker 2: end up being backwards and poor and not successful and rich.
- 45:45Speaker 2: I do not think that is a successful strategy, because
- 45:48Speaker 2: if you would listen to Governor Abbott, who's done a
- 45:50Speaker 2: pirouette in some of the other red states, you'd realize
- 45:54Speaker 2: there's a lot of anger in communities who just don't
- 45:57Speaker 2: want them in their backyard, do not want them within
- 46:00Speaker 2: proximity to their homes. Right.
- 46:03Speaker 6: You mentioned Governor Abbott of Texas. A lot of Republicans
- 46:06Speaker 6: have essentially done 180s on their position on these data centers,
- 46:10Speaker 6: initially very much for them in their communities, in districts,
- 46:15Speaker 6: simply because of the potential for economic prosperity, the jobs
- 46:21Speaker 6: that it would potentially create in their districts or in
- 46:24Speaker 6: their communities. But now they realize it's not popular with
- 46:28Speaker 6: their constituents. And that's the reason for the reversals that
- 46:31Speaker 6: we've seen being made by a number of Republican politicians.
- 46:35Speaker 6: So the president not essentially listening to what Governor Abbott
- 46:40Speaker 6: is saying, putting out that post on Truth Social. And
- 46:44Speaker 6: this is another one of those issues in some communities,
- 46:47Speaker 6: not all, but in some communities that could impact who
- 46:51Speaker 6: controls the House after the November midterm elections.
- 46:54Speaker 4: John Decker, WOR White House correspondent and Washington correspondent and
- 46:58Speaker 4: host of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with
- 47:01Speaker 4: John Decker. John, as always, thanks a lot. Great to
- 47:04Speaker 4: talk to you.
- 47:05Speaker 2: Thanks, Larry. Thanks, Curtis. Have a great day. Talk to
- 47:07Speaker 2: you soon.
- 47:08Speaker 4: Well, over the weekend, NASA launched a telescope into space.
- 47:14Speaker 4: This isn't just any telescope. This is much more powerful
- 47:18Speaker 4: than the Hubble telescope. And by the way, the name
- 47:21Speaker 4: of the telescope, is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
- 47:27Speaker 4: So you might ask, who is Nancy Grace Roman? She
- 47:29Speaker 4: was born in 1925, and she went on to work
- 47:32Speaker 4: at NASA. She is called the mother of Hubble. She
- 47:36Speaker 4: was the first female executive with NASA. She was the
- 47:41Speaker 4: chief of astronomy, and she is the one that shepherded
- 47:45Speaker 4: through the Hubble Telescope, which has given us a wealth
- 47:48Speaker 4: of information. So they named this new telescope after her.
- 47:53Speaker 4: It's going to go out in space, so it's not
- 47:54Speaker 4: going to have the same restrictions as a telescope down here.
- 47:59Speaker 4: And it's going to keep turning and it's going to
- 48:01Speaker 4: keep sending us information, sending us information about other solar
- 48:07Speaker 4: systems and, and I'm going to get to this in
- 48:09Speaker 4: a second, in dark matter.
- 48:11Speaker 12: It's got a hundred times the field of view of Hubble.
- 48:13Speaker 12: It's like a wide angle lens on the universe. And
- 48:15Speaker 12: it's also got this panorama mode. It'll sweep the sky.
- 48:18Speaker 12: So it covers the sky a thousand times as fast
- 48:21Speaker 12: as Hubble.
- 48:22Speaker 4: That's the head of NASA, Sean Donegal-Goldman, who also talked
- 48:27Speaker 4: about when we're going to finally start getting information back.
- 48:30Speaker 12: We're going to start getting data just to calibrate the telescope,
- 48:34Speaker 12: you know, within about a week of launch. But the
- 48:36Speaker 12: real exciting part is going to come in about 90
- 48:38Speaker 12: days after launch. That's when we'll have our first images
- 48:41Speaker 12: that we'll release to the public.
- 48:42Speaker 4: And Bill Nye, the science guy, is still around. And
- 48:45Speaker 4: Bill Nye says this is what they really want to
- 48:48Speaker 4: find out.
- 48:48Speaker 15: What we're looking for with this thing among other things,
- 48:52Speaker 15: is dark matter, dark energy. And this seems to be,
- 48:56Speaker 15: or rather it is, a force in the cosmos that
- 48:59Speaker 15: is just not understood. And so this is really nominally
- 49:03Speaker 15: a very, very exciting time if we can learn more
- 49:05Speaker 15: about this.
- 49:07Speaker 2: First of all, I hate Bill Nye, the science guy.
- 49:10Speaker 2: I had to watch him with my three sons. I
- 49:12Speaker 2: hated every second of it. By the way, you said
- 49:15Speaker 2: Nancy Grace. Nobody is going to think of that woman
- 49:18Speaker 2: you were talking about.
- 49:19Speaker 7: I know.
- 49:20Speaker 2: To think of Court TV Nancy Grace. How stupid could
- 49:23Speaker 2: NASA be? Well, that was her name.
- 49:26Speaker 4: What do you mean how stupid could it be?
- 49:27Speaker 2: Because you're going to think it's Nancy Grace.
- 49:29Speaker 4: She came forward first. You're not going to say, well,
- 49:32Speaker 4: we're going to change the name of her. Her full
- 49:35Speaker 4: name is Nancy Grace Roman.
- 49:37Speaker 5: Just take Grace out, Nancy Roman, then you would never
- 49:40Speaker 5: have any confusion.
- 49:41Speaker 4: She didn't want to take Grace out, so why don't
- 49:43Speaker 4: we go by what she has. Who cares if they
- 49:46Speaker 4: don't know what it is?
- 49:47Speaker 23: Nancy G.
- 49:48Speaker 3: Roman.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Man, you guys worry about the weirdest things. Why don't
- 49:52Speaker 2: we just go back to Galileo's original telescope and land
- 49:57Speaker 2: some men and women on the moon? My God, since 69,
- 50:01Speaker 2: we haven't been landing people on the moon. What is
- 50:04Speaker 2: so difficult about this?
- 50:06Speaker 3: Give him some Nutella, get him to the moon.
- 50:08Speaker 4: Note to self, don't talk technology with Curtis ever again.
- 50:13Speaker 4: All right, got it.
- 50:14Speaker 2: You sure Nutella is not sponsoring this telescope?
- 50:18Speaker 4: I'm positive they're not. I'm positive they're not. I'm positive
- 50:21Speaker 4: that was just an accident.
- 50:21Speaker 2: The first images, you see that Nutella jar floating around
- 50:26Speaker 2: in space.
- 50:26Speaker 4: I think of the 97 conspiracies you've talked about on
- 50:30Speaker 4: this show, I think that was the first one.
- 50:32Speaker 24: I do.
- 50:33Speaker 4: I believe that was the first conspiracy. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 50:37Speaker 16: What is the difference?
- 50:39Speaker 2: Guilty conscience.
- 50:41Speaker 4: Innocent, guilty by reason of insanity, guilty because she's a murderer.
- 50:48Speaker 16: Who's going to take care of this woman forever? We are.
- 50:52Speaker 16: So for that reason alone, they need to put her down.
- 50:55Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's not going to happen. They don't have
- 50:58Speaker 4: the death penalty in Massachusetts, but I agree with you.
- 51:01Speaker 4: I don't think she should breathe another breath. I'm furious
- 51:05Speaker 4: over this case.
- 51:06Speaker 23: We live in sick, sad times when the likes of
- 51:10Speaker 23: Luigi Mangione and Lindsay Clancy have fan clubs that are
- 51:16Speaker 23: rooting for them to the core. It's really sick. Sick
- 51:20Speaker 23: and getting sicker. But Lindsay Clancy reminds me of the
- 51:26Speaker 23: whole Lizzie Borden story. So maybe she's the new Lindsay Borden.
- 51:31Speaker 23: Shows you that there's always been sick people in this world.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Lindsay Borden. What was that new Bedford full river Massachusetts?
- 51:38Speaker 3: Very good. Yes, it was.
- 51:40Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time there. You know, that's
- 51:42Speaker 2: why I learned about the Cape variance. But really you
- 51:48Speaker 2: have to go back pal.
- 51:50Speaker 4: Yeah. I love what he said about the people following.
- 51:53Speaker 4: He can't believe that there's people supporting Luigi Mangione. Can't
- 51:56Speaker 4: believe there's people following Lindsay grace as well. I mean,
- 52:02Speaker 4: You mean Lindsay Clancy.
- 52:04Speaker 3: Not Nancy Grace.
- 52:05Speaker 4: Now you got Nancy Grace in my head. I'm thinking
- 52:10Speaker 4: to myself, oh, my God. It's in my head now.
- 52:15Speaker 4: But when you have people supporting people like that, it
- 52:19Speaker 4: explains our elections, doesn't it? There's people like that out there.
- 52:23Speaker 7: Wow.
- 52:24Speaker 13: It's going to take a while to get the oil
- 52:26Speaker 13: out of Venezuela. So we shouldn't do it. Everything takes time.
- 52:31Speaker 13: That's the stupidest reason I ever heard not to do something,
- 52:35Speaker 13: because it's going to take time.
- 52:37Speaker 4: I understand that. I get that. Everybody gets that. We're
- 52:40Speaker 4: just talking about the effect on the midterm elections. But
- 52:43Speaker 4: you're right. It's a long-term benefit. It's not going to
- 52:46Speaker 4: help the Republicans win in the short term.
- 52:49Speaker 25: I'm the same age as that other guy that works
- 52:53Speaker 25: with Larry and Eric. I haven't stopped smoking pot since
- 52:59Speaker 25: I was 13 years old. The only break I took
- 53:03Speaker 25: was when my kids were very young and my wife
- 53:07Speaker 25: didn't want it around. But once I could get away,
- 53:12Speaker 25: I haven't stopped smoking ever, ever.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Telling you.
- 53:16Speaker 4: Maybe that's why he forgot your name.
- 53:20Speaker 3: The other guy with Larry.
- 53:22Speaker 2: That's a good one. He's smoking so much pot. That's
- 53:25Speaker 2: a good one.
- 53:25Speaker 3: I think there's other reasons.
- 53:26Speaker 2: But again, it was a survey done that most pot
- 53:31Speaker 2: users are 55 plus. Not millennials and Gen Zers, as
- 53:35Speaker 2: we would have thought. But right now, let's get our
- 53:40Speaker 2: news at 730. Hold on.
- 53:43Speaker 17: You actually thought that younger people were smoking more than.
- 53:48Speaker 2: Older people?
- 53:49Speaker 4: You're talking to me?
- 53:49Speaker 3: Either one of you. I'm just shocked.
- 53:51Speaker 2: That you guys thought that.
- 53:55Speaker 3: I mean, maybe it's because I keep up with the
- 53:56Speaker 3: news more.
- 53:57Speaker 2: Than a lot of people do.
- 53:58Speaker 4: Maybe it's because you smoke pot every night. Maybe that's
- 54:00Speaker 4: the reason.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Actually, I have to tell you, I've never tried this stuff.
- 54:03Speaker 2: I've never tried this stuff.
- 54:04Speaker 11: Really?
- 54:04Speaker 2: Really, I haven't. But, you know, know plenty of people
- 54:08Speaker 2: who have.
- 54:09Speaker 4: Well, Curtis has some.
- 54:12Speaker 2: What time are we done?
- 54:13Speaker 11: Oh, man.
- 54:14Speaker 2: Better than Percocet. Better than taking those Percocets, you become
- 54:18Speaker 2: an addict.
- 54:19Speaker 17: There is rain in the forecast later today. That'll give
- 54:22Speaker 17: you a headache, possibly. Could be heavy, so the city's
- 54:24Speaker 17: activated the storm emergency plan. Make sure that if you
- 54:28Speaker 17: are in an area that's likely to flood, like a
- 54:29Speaker 17: basement apartment, you have a plan to move to higher
- 54:31Speaker 17: ground if the water does ride. And while the ride-in
- 54:34Speaker 17: should be okay, give yourself some extra time on the
- 54:37Speaker 17: ride home. An internal investigation is underway in yesterday's deadly
- 54:41Speaker 17: standoff in Times Square. Police shooting and killing a knife-wielding
- 54:45Speaker 17: woman who stabbed at least one person and threatened to
- 54:47Speaker 17: attack the others.
- 54:49Speaker 26: Cops say that the attacker had a documented mental health
- 54:52Speaker 26: history with the department. Two incidents dating back to both
- 54:56Speaker 26: 2018 and 2019. All of this chaos unfolding here in
- 54:59Speaker 26: Times Square where thousands of tourists come to each and
- 55:02Speaker 26: every day. A random stabbing on these two innocent people
- 55:05Speaker 26: that a suspect was shot and killed.
- 55:08Speaker 17: That's Channel 7's Phil Tate. The Supreme Court says President
- 55:11Speaker 17: Trump can keep building the White House ballroom. The high
- 55:14Speaker 17: court ruled 5-4 to grant the president's emergency request to
- 55:17Speaker 17: block a lower court ruling that would have stopped construction.
- 55:21Speaker 17: The city is rolling out a plan to address Legionnaires
- 55:24Speaker 17: disease after the big outbreak on the Upper East Side.
- 55:26Speaker 27: The plan includes an improvement of oversight to cooling towers,
- 55:29Speaker 27: a place that can develop the Legionella bacteria and spread
- 55:32Speaker 27: it through mist. Mamdani's administration also looking at faster testing
- 55:36Speaker 27: for Legionella bacteria and quicker enforcement of cooling tower violations.
- 55:40Speaker 27: Officials will also study alternative cooling systems. And the city
- 55:44Speaker 27: is launching a new mapping feature allowing the public to
- 55:47Speaker 27: view registered cooling towers. A recent Legionnaires cluster on the
- 55:50Speaker 27: Upper East Side has resulted in 94 cases and 11 deaths.
- 55:54Speaker 27: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 55:55Speaker 17: John Galliano is apologizing for anti-Semitic remarks and any pain
- 55:59Speaker 17: that he says he caused the Jewish community. Those comments
- 56:03Speaker 17: after the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday announced that it
- 56:05Speaker 17: would no longer honor the designer at its 2027 gala.
- 56:10Speaker 17: Next news, 8 o'clock, Bulletin's at Once. I'm Daria Albinger
- 56:13Speaker 17: on 710WOR.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Notice every day it's either a person with a major
- 56:17Speaker 2: depressive disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders who commits a violent crime.
- 56:24Speaker 2: It happened in Times Square. We'll break it down for
- 56:26Speaker 2: you up next. Meantime, think back to how many great
- 56:29Speaker 2: teachers you had. One stands out in my mind, fifth grade, PS114, Kanasi,
- 56:34Speaker 2: Alan Topol, the very best for me. And that's why
- 56:38Speaker 2: we are helping teachers bring more opportunities, creativity, and learning
- 56:44Speaker 2: into their classrooms each and every day with iHeartRadio's Thank
- 56:47Speaker 2: a Teacher, powered by DonorsChoose. Make a real difference for
- 56:52Speaker 2: teachers and students. Learn more at iHeartRadio.com slash teachers. You
- 56:57Speaker 2: notice there's a pattern here in New York City. Every
- 57:00Speaker 2: day there's a major crime situation involving somebody either who
- 57:05Speaker 2: has major depressive disorder, they're bipolar, they have schizophrenia, they
- 57:10Speaker 2: have psychotic disorders, people being pushed in the tracks, stabbed, beaten.
- 57:17Speaker 2: And now the gateway to the world. was the focus
- 57:21Speaker 2: of a woman who clearly has some mental impairments. She
- 57:27Speaker 2: happened to be walking right in front of the old
- 57:32Speaker 2: Red Lobster location that Natalie, we had gone to for
- 57:37Speaker 2: the final, all the shrimp you could eat before they closed.
- 57:40Speaker 3: Right, couldn't get a bigger, more populated area.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Right, so she had two knives. And a husband and
- 57:46Speaker 2: a wife are getting out of the subway station there,
- 57:49Speaker 2: and she stabs the man. Luckily, he survives that. She
- 57:54Speaker 2: continues to go north. She sees a woman about 32
- 57:58Speaker 2: years old, stabs her. Unfortunately, she passes away. And then
- 58:03Speaker 2: she gets cornered by the NYPD right outside of the substation,
- 58:07Speaker 2: the very famous substation on 43rd, right between 7th and Broadway.
- 58:13Speaker 2: And that's when they tell her in a four-minute conversation
- 58:15Speaker 2: back and forth, drop the knives. They hit her with
- 58:19Speaker 2: two tasers. Apparently, it did not have an impact. She
- 58:23Speaker 2: then charges them saying, I'm not dropping anything. I would
- 58:27Speaker 2: rather kill you both. And they fire shots that take
- 58:30Speaker 2: her life. But again, we've seen this over and over
- 58:35Speaker 2: and over. And there'll be some out there who question it.
- 58:38Speaker 2: Why the use of lethal force by the police? Well,
- 58:41Speaker 2: guess what? They're the ones responding. They're the ones there.
- 58:45Speaker 2: They can't wait for a mental health unit or backup
- 58:48Speaker 2: or somebody maybe who has other materials that maybe could
- 58:52Speaker 2: have restrained her. They had to deal with this situation
- 58:55Speaker 2: on the spot, and they made the right decision. It's unfortunate.
- 59:00Speaker 2: They say now this woman, Ms. Cisneros, that she had
- 59:04Speaker 2: two encounters, mental health history, 2018, 2019. That's a long
- 59:07Speaker 2: time ago. what's been happening in the interim because i
- 59:13Speaker 2: don't think she got better all of a sudden and
- 59:15Speaker 2: then all of a sudden this happened so i think
- 59:17Speaker 2: we're going to find out much more in the coming
- 59:20Speaker 2: days about what if any help she was getting and
- 59:23Speaker 2: what were her demons that drove her to do.
- 59:25Speaker 4: This but the problem is this is the same story
- 59:28Speaker 4: all the time All the time. We hear this constantly.
- 59:31Speaker 4: And yes, a couple of things. First of all, you
- 59:35Speaker 4: were exactly right. What do you expect police to do?
- 59:38Speaker 4: But there's going to be people out there that say,
- 59:40Speaker 4: why did you have to shoot her? Why did you
- 59:41Speaker 4: have to kill her? Because they don't want to die.
- 59:44Speaker 4: It's self-defense at that point. Once she charges them, they
- 59:48Speaker 4: have no choice but to shoot her.
- 59:50Speaker 2: You know, it was the.
- 59:51Speaker 4: Same exact thing that happened when those two police officers
- 59:56Speaker 4: were responded to a young adult that had mental health
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: issues that was threatening their own family. You remember this?
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: And they went in and at a certain point he
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: had a knife and he was coming at them and
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: they shot. Now, luckily they didn't kill him. They just
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: wounded him. But of course, what else were they going
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: to do? They were attacked at that point. You have
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: to stop assuming every single time that the police are wrong.
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: Most police shootings are The vast majority are justified. But
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: because there's been a couple that didn't line up the
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: way they should have and because a couple of people
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: shot at somebody when they shouldn't have. You decide every
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: single time the police use a gun, there's something the matter.
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: There must be something off. There must be something wrong.
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: There must be something more they can do. Many times,
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: that is exactly what they're trained to do. What I
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: would go back, though, and look is at the tasers.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: I've seen situations where they've tasered a suspect that they
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: had surrounded, and it seems to enrage the suspect who
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: then lunges at them. That was clearly the case in
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: the case of this woman who lunged at them with
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: the knives out after they had told her to drop
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: the knives. I wonder if the tasers that they use
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: are powerful enough to knock a person down. I've certainly
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: seen tasers when used appropriately can knock down a guy
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: who's six foot eight, 320 pounds. I'm just wondering if
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: they're powerful enough.
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: Maybe, maybe that is the problem, but most of the
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: time that they work. There are a few people, there's
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: a few exceptions of people that can't work. A lot
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: of times when they're pumped up on adrenaline, they can
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: keep moving forward. I think the bigger thing is the
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: fact that they had to shoot her. They had no
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: other choice. And you're right, I just can't believe there's
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: anybody out there saying, why would they have to shoot
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: this woman? Because there's just so many people out there
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: that immediately say, It's anti-police. It's, oh, the police did
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: the wrong thing. Oh, every time there's a police shooting, it's, oh,
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: my God, look, they did the wrong thing. No, just
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: go ahead. There's video of this, and there's a lot
- 1:02:16Speaker 4: of descriptions of it. Just go ahead constantly and look
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: back at what she said and how she lunged at them.
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: And then please, please say, well, these police officers may
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: have been heroes. because she already stabbed two people, killing one,
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: and she would have stabbed more.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: You know, there are like three situations I run across
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: on a regular basis, because I deal with the emotionally
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: disturbed all the time with the guardian angels. A, a
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: person who thinks people are putting implants in their head,
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: and we say, well, clearly they're mentally impaired. Others who
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: think that there are harmful laser beams being guided at them.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: And then probably the one that triggers many violent actions is, People,
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: if they do survive these situations, if they are the
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: people who are attacking indiscriminately, they'll claim that they were
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: commanded by hallucinations. They heard a voice that commanded them
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: to do something. And now we have to see, was
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: she on medication? Was she receiving treatment? Where was she living?
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: There's a whole background here that we have to delve
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: into because when I first started the Guardian Angels in 1979,
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: it was all gangs. The gangs were the problem. Now,
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: in almost every other case. It's an emotionally disturbed person. Look,
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: we were talking yesterday about that woman was pushed into
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: their tracks, an emotionally disturbed person. Another guy pushed into
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: the tracks, an emotionally disturbed person. They live in the subways.
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: They live in the streets. They roam about. At any moment,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: they could be triggered off. Do we even know who
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: they are? Do we even follow up on them or
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: we just wait for this explosion to take place? And
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: then we start looking back at their trace history and say, well,
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: this should have been done. This should have been done.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: I would say, at least for right now, you just
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: got to look at that taser gun. Is it powerful
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: enough to stop somebody?
- 1:04:05Speaker 15: Maybe.
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: I think what we have to look at is the
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: Supreme Court ruling, O'Connor versus Donaldson in 1975, that said
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: you can't take the dangerously mentally ill off the streets
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: against their will because obviously you should. Now, I understand
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: the ruling. I get it. There was atrocities in some
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: of the places that these people were taken to. I
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: understand that.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: Completely.
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: But now things have changed and people are dying and
- 1:04:33Speaker 4: people are getting killed at a regular basis on the
- 1:04:36Speaker 4: street by the mentally ill and the mentally ill end
- 1:04:39Speaker 4: up killing, you know, getting shot themselves, basically killing themselves
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: through their actions. So we need someone, we need somebody
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: out there to challenge this and come up with a
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: new way of challenging it so it can make its
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: way up to the Supreme court. And finally, We can
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: help the people that are mentally ill on the streets
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: by taking them off the streets, even against their own will,
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: and certainly the ones that are dangerous, like this woman.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: When we come back, well, it's Natalie Migliore time, and
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: she's going to talk with people about the thing that
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: everybody is talking about. And there's a couple of sides
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: to this issue. The Nancy Clancy trial, the woman that
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: killed her.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: You mean Lindsay Clancy.
- 1:05:25Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: You're on this Nancy Grace thing for that telescope. I
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: told you it was the worst name you could have
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: ever possibly given to that telescope.
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: You know what? I was so trying to get the
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: last name right, I screwed up the first name. I
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: was like, okay, don't say Nancy Grace again. The Lindsay
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: Clancy trial, by the way, that's the woman that killed
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: her own children. Natalie Migliore coming up next.
- 1:05:54Speaker 9: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore, I know you were down in the streets
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: soliciting comments on the Lindsay Clancy trial and deliberation of
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: the jury. What were the peeps saying out there?
- 1:06:13Speaker 28: Yeah, so today is day four of deliberations in the
- 1:06:16Speaker 28: Lindsay Clancy trial as jurors decide whether the former labor
- 1:06:20Speaker 28: and delivery nurse is criminally responsible or not. for killing
- 1:06:23Speaker 28: her three children in their Massachusetts home before attempting to
- 1:06:27Speaker 28: take her own life. A very serious issue and trial.
- 1:06:33Speaker 28: Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, says he never expected the case
- 1:06:36Speaker 28: to get this kind of attention, but it has worldwide, actually,
- 1:06:41Speaker 28: based on what I'm hearing in the streets.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: So are people following the case?
- 1:06:45Speaker 29: I mean, I know what it is, but haven't been
- 1:06:48Speaker 29: following it.
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard about it, but we're from New Zealand.
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: And it's all over our news and all over social media. Yeah.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: On like social media? Mostly on social media.
- 1:06:57Speaker 29: And also like, I think I've actively searched on it
- 1:06:59Speaker 29: like one time. So mostly on the internet.
- 1:07:02Speaker 14: I was actually watching it on Court TV, the live trial.
- 1:07:06Speaker 28: Yeah, we had a dedicated watcher watch the trial. So
- 1:07:10Speaker 28: speculation is swirling after the public had access to several
- 1:07:14Speaker 28: weeks worth of testimony and 300 exhibits to review online.
- 1:07:19Speaker 28: including testimony from Clancy's ex-husband, who now lives in New
- 1:07:23Speaker 28: York City with his new wife, Patrick Clancy. Some say
- 1:07:27Speaker 28: Patrick did it. That's a lot of speculation on social media.
- 1:07:31Speaker 28: I know Larry and I have.
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: Had it out.
- 1:07:34Speaker 28: But Lindsay has never disputed that she killed their children,
- 1:07:39Speaker 28: with her defense arguing she was in psychosis.
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: Bailey, who watched the trial, is invested.
- 1:07:47Speaker 24: I feel sorry for her, but I think most people
- 1:07:49Speaker 24: that murder people have mental problems, number one. But the method,
- 1:07:55Speaker 24: I'm looking at you in the eye right now, and
- 1:07:57Speaker 24: she was looking at her kids the same way I am,
- 1:08:01Speaker 24: but she wrapped a thing around.
- 1:08:04Speaker 14: She was able to complete three strangulations while looking into
- 1:08:08Speaker 14: her children's face. I don't think that psychosis, given all
- 1:08:13Speaker 14: the evidence, the organization, the planning, she knew the weapon,
- 1:08:18Speaker 14: the call. So, you know, I listened to the chat.
- 1:08:22Speaker 28: Now, people are closely monitoring what's happening for different reasons, too.
- 1:08:28Speaker 29: I work in health care, so this is something that
- 1:08:29Speaker 29: really interests me. And postpartum depression or depression for, like,
- 1:08:34Speaker 29: women with growing up children, it's very common.
- 1:08:38Speaker 18: And then I.
- 1:08:39Speaker 29: Kind of know someone, not really like personally, but somebody
- 1:08:43Speaker 29: who worked also in healthcare. Something that you would never,
- 1:08:46Speaker 29: never thought that would happen to her. But she did
- 1:08:49Speaker 29: also had the same situation where she ended her life
- 1:08:52Speaker 29: and also her infant's life. It was like a total
- 1:08:55Speaker 29: shocker for everyone who knows about it.
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: So it's sort of a reality for people.
- 1:08:59Speaker 28: Especially this healthcare worker who knew someone who was in
- 1:09:03Speaker 28: his circle, who sort of carried out the same act, okay?
- 1:09:08Speaker 28: And this case has become less about whodunit in a
- 1:09:11Speaker 28: way and more about what's being done regarding maternal mental health.
- 1:09:16Speaker 28: It has me asking people if they think we're doing
- 1:09:19Speaker 28: enough for postpartum mothers.
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: Well, I think if this happens, we aren't doing enough.
- 1:09:24Speaker 29: I think in terms of accessibility to mental health services,
- 1:09:28Speaker 29: it's not really that extensive yet because apparently we're hearing
- 1:09:32Speaker 29: cases that are happening all over the state.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: So I think we can do better on this.
- 1:09:36Speaker 21: I don't think in any case we're doing enough for
- 1:09:39Speaker 21: mental health issues.
- 1:09:40Speaker 28: So that's sort of where it is. People are the
- 1:09:44Speaker 28: people who are paying attention to it are really paying
- 1:09:48Speaker 28: attention to it. Larry and Curtis, Natalie, you know that
- 1:09:51Speaker 28: I've been pretty much into it, but I've fallen onto
- 1:09:54Speaker 28: the conspiracy theory side of Instagram. So I get a
- 1:09:58Speaker 28: lot of different sort of information with people claiming people claiming,
- 1:10:04Speaker 28: you know, that. They're not necessarily on Patrick Clancy's side.
- 1:10:09Speaker 28: His testimony is sort of out of whack with other
- 1:10:12Speaker 28: testimony that's been given. But I know, Larry, you feel
- 1:10:15Speaker 28: passionately that this is going to be a guilty verdict
- 1:10:19Speaker 28: in terms of Lindsay Clancy and that she did it.
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going to be a guilty verdict,
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: but I hope it is. I mean, if the world
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: is fair, those three little children deserve some type of
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: justice for what happened to them. From their own mother. Look,
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: as far as her husband goes, yeah, I don't think
- 1:10:39Speaker 4: he's a good human being. I don't think– I think
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: they had a bad marriage. I think he was probably
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: seeing somebody else. I get all of that. But I
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: don't think he did it. I think it's pretty obvious
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: who did it.
- 1:10:50Speaker 21: Right.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: Well, she's admitted it. Her defense counsel has admitted it.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: But why did this guy get married four months after?
- 1:10:57Speaker 4: Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Just because he's a despicable
- 1:11:02Speaker 4: human being, he's not a murderer. You know what I mean?
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: She is. She is a murderer. She's admitted to it.
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: And now she's trying to get away with it by saying, no,
- 1:11:11Speaker 4: I had postpartum depression. I don't care. I don't care.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: Killed three.
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: Four days of deliberation. Don't you find that surprising?
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: I do. I do. And I think what they're, you know,
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: it's some of them. I hope most of them are
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: life in prison without parole. And there's obviously one or
- 1:11:30Speaker 4: two there. And I hope it's only one or two.
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on there. that are saying, no, no, no,
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: it's post-mortem depression, let's do this, and going with a
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: lesser charge. So obviously the both sides aren't giving in.
- 1:11:44Speaker 6: Right.
- 1:11:45Speaker 28: Well, as we wrap up, just know there is a
- 1:11:46Speaker 28: National Maternal Mental Health Hotline that can be reached at 1-833-TLC-MAMA, M-A-M-A.
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: Just so people know.
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow at 7.50,
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: Trump Data Centers, after the 8 o'clock news.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: So, Larry and Natalie, and welcome back, Natalie, who is
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: recovering at home from her knee surgery, still participating with
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: the help of the quiet storm, Chris, who is now
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: no longer on loan from Mark Simone. He's back with
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: Well, he works for us, too.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: Yes. But he's quiet.
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: He's helping me in the back room. You know that.
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: Every day.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Very quiet.
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: You haven't heard from him yet? No, no. You never will.
- 1:12:25Speaker 5: He's so happy to be back there and not here,
- 1:12:28Speaker 5: I think.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: It seems like a lifetime ago where Larry brought to
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: our attention the many town hall meetings throughout New Jersey.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Of residents who were gathering together because an artificial intelligence
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: data filing center either was being constructed in their backyard
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: or there was plans to put up. an artificial intelligence
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: data filing center. And you did a magnificent job, Larry,
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: because nobody was talking about it at that time. Nobody
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: in radio, TV, you know, other than maybe local reports.
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: And with the announcement yesterday of the president of the
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: United States with a little more than two months to
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: go to the midterm elections, he added to what he
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: had originally said about a week ago. He was, I guess,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: boarding a flight or getting off a flight And for
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: the first time, he talked about the artificial intelligence dating
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: filing centers in communities.
- 1:13:28Speaker 22: I'm only saying that if I ran a community, now
- 1:13:31Speaker 22: there are different types of communities. But generally speaking, if
- 1:13:35Speaker 22: I ran a community, if I was a mayor or
- 1:13:37Speaker 22: if I was a governor in the state, I would
- 1:13:39Speaker 22: want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: So that was a little less than a week ago. Yesterday,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: he didn't make public statements, but he did put out
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: on Truth Social the following. The only reason that communities
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: throughout the USA should not want data centers is that
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: they want to end up being backwards and poor. If
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: they want to be successful and rich with far lower
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: taxes and jobs all over the place, let data reign.
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: The good news is that there are plenty of other
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: places that want them. If we kill the golden goose,
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: You will only have yourselves to blame. China could not
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: be happier with this anti-data center movement. Actually, meaning China,
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: they can't believe it's happening. And it was signed by
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: the President of the United States, Donald J.
- 1:14:30Speaker 18: Trump.
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: By him entering with both feet first on this issue,
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: I think if I were a member in any of
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: these communities that have had these raucous town hall meetings
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: where people felt that they weren't being able to get
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: information that they were entitled to, I would feel that
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: the president is really like insulting me by saying, hey,
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: if we don't want a AI data filing center in
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: our backyard, it's because we're backwards and poor. I don't
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: think that's how, you know, you convert people or get
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: them on board to at least taking a second look
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: at the construction of the data filing centers for artificial intelligence.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: I mean, look at all the governors that are putting
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: brakes on, Democrats and Republicans all over the country. From
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: Greg Abbott in Texas, who was in the forefront of this,
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: he's put the brakes on. Shapiro in Pennsylvania, he was
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: in the forefront. He's put the brakes on. Even Virginia,
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: where per capita, per person, they have more of the
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: artificial intelligence data filing centers than anywhere else. They're putting
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: the brakes on it. I think the president has to
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: understand that. that these kinds of statements are just going
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: to alienate people to you. Yeah.
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: First of all, he didn't call them backwards and poor.
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: He said that if they don't want data centers, they'll
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: become backwards and poor. That was the quote. So he's
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: not saying they are now. He's just saying you could
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: be rich and if you don't do this, you're going
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: to be backwards and poor because everybody else is going
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: to make more money. So he's looking at this a
- 1:16:04Speaker 4: lot differently than these communities look at it. For these communities,
- 1:16:08Speaker 4: it's very personal. It's very ground level. For him, he's
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: looking at foreign policy and he's looking at the economy.
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: And they're the two things. So he's looking at macro.
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: Everybody else is looking at micro when they're in the communities.
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: And macro, he's right. In macro, we need these data
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: centers built as quickly as possible. I get that. It's
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: good for the economy, and it's good in dealing with
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: China and other countries, by the way, that are building
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: data centers, and they don't have the restrictions that we have.
- 1:16:40Speaker 4: So I understand exactly what he's saying, and in that regard,
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: he is right. But these data centers don't have to
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: be next door to somebody's home. It's very easy to
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: work around that. I mean, you got Josh Shapiro now,
- 1:16:59Speaker 4: the governor of Pennsylvania, who's jumping on this issue right now.
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: And he's looking at these old industrial plants and talking
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: about banning them coming in. There's no communities near those plants, none.
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: And yet he just wants to jump on this issue.
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: And that's what's happening. When an issue like this becomes political,
- 1:17:18Speaker 4: it's not rational anymore. Now all they're thinking about is
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: the midterm election. That's all anybody's thinking about. And there's
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: power in that for people that are against data centers.
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: And I'm not just talking about what I agree with,
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: the people in the communities that come out for these
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: town hall meetings. I agree with them. But there's some
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: people that want this to fail overall. And this helps them. And,
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: you know, we've had a lot of people talk about
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: Chinese propaganda. I'm sure there is now. That's not how
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: this started. I'm sure there is now because of course
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: they're looking at this saying, well, let's go ahead and
- 1:17:53Speaker 4: stoke the fires. Let's keep going. So there is a,
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: there is a rational middle ground, but my fear is
- 1:18:01Speaker 4: that we've now dealt, we're dealing with the irrational part
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: of an argument. It always grows into this where people
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: just take sides. I mean, with sanctuary cities, it got
- 1:18:12Speaker 4: ridiculous with ice. It got ridiculous. It's always two distinct
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: sides of, People take sides, and nobody's willing to give in.
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: And that's what's happening with this issue right now. It's
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: out of control. The monster's out of the box.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, and the polls indicate that. Now, Vice President Vance,
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: while visiting Michigan campaigning in the U.S. Senate race— actually said, well,
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: I understand why people are upset because of the high
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: utility rates. Yeah, that's one of many issues that have
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: gotten people upset. So I think what the president and
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: the administration is doing is that they're trying to get as.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: much flack out there to try to alter this negativity
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: towards the artificial intelligence data filing centers. I just don't think...
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: This is going to work because this movement has been
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: taking place for months. I understand why the president was
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: oblivious to it. He had so many other issues he
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: had to deal with. But locally, governors are certainly aware
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: of it because now they're doing the pivot and shift.
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: And I heard terms. I'm not going to tell you
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: the people that I was listening to and talk radio yesterday.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: What's talking to Republicans who oppose this as being cowards?
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: Is Greg Abbott a coward? I mean, this guy's not
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: a coward. Luddites, you're a Luddite. Now, I recognize I'm
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: a Luddite. I can barely send an email or a text,
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: but that's not the mass majority of Americans who are
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: going to these meetings. Oh, you must be a socialist
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: or Marxist. It's red Chinese propaganda. Stop the name calling
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: because all you're going to do is solidify them and say,
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: what are you talking about? My neighbors, they're not political.
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: We just don't want that incessant noise in our community.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: Who's paying for all the water they need, the electricity rates,
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: and they're not getting answers.
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's easy fixes to these problems. There really
- 1:20:06Speaker 4: are easy fixes, but nobody's talking about fixes. They're just
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: taking these draconian measures. We're going to ban them all,
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: or it doesn't matter. You're a communist if you don't
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: believe these should go through. Both sides are getting silly,
- 1:20:21Speaker 4: but this is what happens in politics all the time.
- 1:20:23Speaker 4: Both sides get ridiculous. There is a middle ground on this.
- 1:20:28Speaker 4: They should pay for the water. They should supply their
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: water and whatever they don't use, they should put back
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: into the community. They should pay for their own power.
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: And there should be a fund set up so that
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: they stick around for years. And if they don't, that
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: fund goes to the state or goes to communities. There's
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: other communities that have done this. There's an easy way,
- 1:20:49Speaker 4: but nobody's rational right now. Nobody's going to be rational
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: right now because it's gotten to the point. It's tipped over.
- 1:20:55Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, the people that run these
- 1:20:58Speaker 4: data centers and these AI companies have no one to
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: blame but themselves.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly what Texas Governor Greg Abbott said. Remember,
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: he said, look. They've dug their own grave.
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: I was on board.
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: They sold me. I was out there. I was cutting
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: the ribbons. And then when I would go back to
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: them and ask basic questions, I was not getting any answers.
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: So you pissed me off and you pissed off a
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: lot of people. You may not be able to recover.
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: Give you a quick example, Wisconsin. We saw Crowley won
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: that gubernatorial race, a Democrat race. Well, the Republican there,
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: Tom Tiffany, who's running against him in the general election,
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: has a TV ad branding Crowley as data center David Crowley. Crowley,
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: you don't want it and you should not get it.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: This is what Crowley is saying. So it's almost like
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: it's risen to the surface where either Republicans or Democrats
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: are using it against one another. Now, that's a danger
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: when you have Republicans and Democrats agreeing that this is
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: not good in communities. I don't know if the president
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: saying what he did and putting out what he said
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: and having his– administration officials go out there and campaign
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: on this.
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: Well, he's right to a point. He's absolutely correct. I mean,
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: there's a lot of money to be made. He's absolutely
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: correct about that. And there's just a right way to
- 1:22:20Speaker 4: do it. I don't think he was wrong in saying
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: what he did, because there is a right way to
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: do this. It's not just being done right now. It's
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: being tarnished by politics. When we come back, George Santos
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: banned from another place. plus a chance to see Air
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: Supply coming up next. And our iHeartRadio Music Festival, presented
- 1:22:41Speaker 4: by Capital One, is next, featuring live performances by Benson Boone,
- 1:22:47Speaker 4: Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney Wilson, and more. September
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: 18th and 19th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two nights,
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: one stage. While the world is listening on iHeartRadio, you
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: can be there. Three chances to win every weekday. For
- 1:23:05Speaker 4: you to win your trip for two, plus $ 1, 000 in

- 1:23:13Speaker 4: 9 o'clock this morning on 710WOR. Good luck.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: Well, well, I see that George Santos, the real Shonda Dreck. Apparently,
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: he's been banned. Banned by what? Our country? Is he
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: being deported back to Brazil, where I think he was
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: birthed as a drag queen, you know, when he was
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: competing to be drag queen of Rio de Janeiro?
- 1:23:39Speaker 4: He was born a drag queen? How does that work?
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: Oh, he was competing in contests in Rio for the
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: annual carnival to be the chosen drag queen, and apparently
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: he lost. I think then he came to the United States.
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: But anyway.
- 1:23:52Speaker 4: I was thrown by the word birthed.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: Could we send this guy back to Brazil? Is it
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: a possible DHS could pick him up and deport him?
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:24:02Speaker 4: I mean, there is this fascination with George Santos just
- 1:24:05Speaker 4: because he is such a train wreck. You don't know
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: what he's going to do next. Well, now he has,
- 1:24:10Speaker 4: first time ever, Kaushy, banned someone for life. George Santos, congratulations.
- 1:24:18Speaker 4: You made history. The first person ever to be banned
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: for life from Calshi. And remember what he did. It
- 1:24:26Speaker 4: was right before Donald Trump's State of the Union address.
- 1:24:31Speaker 4: And he bet on the fact that whether he would
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: attend or not. Now, they put up a huge warning
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: about insider trading. A huge warning. But he ignored that
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: warning and went ahead and bet on himself. and he
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: won $ 17, 839. 57 on a minimal bet. He made that much
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: money because nobody thought that George Santos was going to
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: be there or not be there. But anyway, the prediction
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: marketplace has banned him, and they are now fining him $ 71, 356. 00.
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: So what, is he going to do those videos, you know,
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: those happy birthday videos where he was making money for
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: a while?
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: Cameo?
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: He's on Cameo. Yeah, I know, but can you imagine
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: what kind of a friend would rent him out to
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: do a video to wish you a happy birthday? You'd say,
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: this is the best you could do? This degenerate George Santos?
- 1:25:31Speaker 4: Well, it's funny. At least it's very funny, you know,
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: to have that. Now, listen, he's already been hit for
- 1:25:40Speaker 4: $ 35, 000 by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. They investigated and
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: they're the ones that found out about this. But remember
- 1:25:48Speaker 4: how much he took his scheme to? So he bet
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: on not being there, right? And then he put out
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: a video saying he was going to be there.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: Oh, guess what?
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: I've been invited to the State of the Union. Completely
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: changed the betting. Completely changed the betting. And all of
- 1:26:06Speaker 4: a sudden, he was well in the minority, and that's
- 1:26:09Speaker 4: how he made so much money. So it was more
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: than just betting on himself.
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: Can't we do the two-life, what was that, two-life crew, right,
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: banned in the USA? Can't we ban him from the
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: USA and send him back to Brazil? Well, listen, he's
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: not the only one. Remember the teleprompter operator?
- 1:26:25Speaker 4: No, I know.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: But this guy, no matter what he does, it's corrupt.
- 1:26:31Speaker 4: It's fun having him around. It's just fun. First of all,
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: for content and fun to point at him and laugh
- 1:26:38Speaker 4: every once in a while because he is such a
- 1:26:41Speaker 4: train wreck.
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: But you know what he is?
- 1:26:43Speaker 4: He's an affable train wreck. Like when he talks, it's
- 1:26:46Speaker 4: like he's nice. He's funny. But, you know, he probably
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: should be in jail.
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: Remember the veteran whose dog was ill on the roadside
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: and George Santos stopped? He said, I'll set up a
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: GoFundMe for you. And he stole all of the money
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: and never went to the veteran. That veteran haunts him
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: everywhere he goes now. Where's the money for my dog
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: who died? I mean, could you do anything worse?
- 1:27:10Speaker 4: Yes, he's done lots of things. God, he's despicable.
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: He's dreck.
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: But aren't you waiting to see what he does next week?
- 1:27:18Speaker 4: You know this isn't going to stop him. No, I
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: want him sent to Gitmo. Send him to Gitmo. Let's
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: get some talkbacks. A lot of you want to talk
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: about smoking weed.
- 1:27:27Speaker 9: About your actual topic, I'm a millennial. I refuse to believe.
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: It's hard to.
- 1:27:34Speaker 9: Believe that older people smoke more than millennials and And
- 1:27:38Speaker 9: Jen's in that sort of thing, because I don't know.
- 1:27:42Speaker 9: And like Natalie said, perhaps it seems like more younger
- 1:27:45Speaker 9: people are doing it because they do it outside more.
- 1:27:48Speaker 9: But it's everywhere. If you look around where younger people congregate,
- 1:27:55Speaker 9: especially in the city.
- 1:27:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. I'm shocked at the poll.
- 1:27:59Speaker 4: And I think a lot of times, you know, I
- 1:28:02Speaker 4: don't trust polls all the time, especially these talker polls
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: that come out.
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: I think the funniest thing that's happened during this conversation
- 1:28:10Speaker 5: about this today is everybody's insulted when it's not them.
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: What do you mean my generation isn't the one that's
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: smoking weed the most? You don't know. I'm 63, but
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: smoking since I was 13. They're passionate.
- 1:28:23Speaker 4: Well, and plus he's going, what are you talking about?
- 1:28:26Speaker 4: I've never seen an older person smoke. Me and my
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: friends smoke every single day. Of course, they're a little
- 1:28:32Speaker 4: insulted by it.
- 1:28:34Speaker 30: All right.
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: Here's another one about Donald Trump.
- 1:28:36Speaker 20: I would just like to go on the record as saying, Larry.
- 1:28:40Speaker 20: your boy trump is killing me i've been calling you
- 1:28:43Speaker 20: and telling you guys this now for about three weeks
- 1:28:46Speaker 20: last friday i paid 387 for gas i watch it
- 1:28:50Speaker 20: like a hawk yesterday i got gas it was 429
- 1:28:53Speaker 20: and i just.
- 1:28:54Speaker 5: Buy regular.
- 1:28:56Speaker 20: It went up 40 cents over the weekend.
- 1:28:59Speaker 6: That's horrible.
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:29:01Speaker 7: All right.
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: Well, now let's see what happens because, you know, I
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: don't believe all the experts who say it's not going down.
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: I think it's going to go down in the next month.
- 1:29:11Speaker 4: But if it does, you call back or leave another talk.
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: Oh, so you're doing a Sir Isaac Newton. Whatever goes
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: up must come down. Now let's get our 8.30 news
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: with Daria. Morning, Curtis.
- 1:29:21Speaker 17: It isn't too bad right now outside. Just some light
- 1:29:23Speaker 17: rain in some places, but it is expected to get
- 1:29:25Speaker 17: heavier as the day goes on. And the city's storm
- 1:29:27Speaker 17: emergency plan is now in place. The mayor's office reminding
- 1:29:30Speaker 17: anyone who lives in a flood-prone area to be ready
- 1:29:33Speaker 17: to move to higher ground if need be. The NYPD
- 1:29:36Speaker 17: is conducting an internal investigation into yesterday's officer-involved shooting. which
- 1:29:41Speaker 17: left a stabbing suspect dead in Times Square. Commissioner Jessica
- 1:29:45Speaker 17: Tisch says officers did what they're trained to.
- 1:29:47Speaker 19: And that is to protect themselves when a perpetrator, in
- 1:29:51Speaker 19: this case, a woman, is coming at them armed with
- 1:29:56Speaker 19: and waving two knives.
- 1:29:58Speaker 17: Commuters and visitors looked on as Pamela Cisneros allegedly stabbed
- 1:30:03Speaker 17: a man and fatally stabbed a woman. Police then tried
- 1:30:06Speaker 17: to tase her when she.
- 1:30:07Speaker 4: Lunged at him.
- 1:30:08Speaker 17: It's official, you can eat outside at New York restaurants year-round.
- 1:30:13Speaker 30: The mayor says he expects a lot of positive impacts
- 1:30:15Speaker 30: by making outdoor dining a permanent feature of the Big Apple.
- 1:30:18Speaker 31: Neighborhood favorites will stay in business for years longer. New
- 1:30:22Speaker 31: Yorkers will go on first dates beneath the stars. And
- 1:30:25Speaker 31: friends will finally be able to ask one another, what's
- 1:30:27Speaker 31: your Venmo? Under the light of the moon.
- 1:30:29Speaker 30: Mamdani said previous regulations under former Mayor Eric Adams increased
- 1:30:34Speaker 30: the cost for business owners since they had to build
- 1:30:36Speaker 30: and then tear down their roadway dining structures by November.
- 1:30:40Speaker 30: Under the new law, restaurants can keep their structures up
- 1:30:43Speaker 30: throughout the winter as long as they comply with health
- 1:30:45Speaker 30: and safety standards. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
- 1:30:49Speaker 17: Nearly 30 years later, there's a guilty verdict in the
- 1:30:51Speaker 17: murder of rap's biggest star. A Las Vegas jury has
- 1:30:54Speaker 17: convicted Dwayne Keefe D. Davis for orchestrating the 1996 killing
- 1:30:59Speaker 17: of Tupac Shakur on the strip. Davis could get life
- 1:31:03Speaker 17: in prison. New Jersey is joining 21 other states in
- 1:31:06Speaker 17: the FTC to sue Amazon over claims the online retailer's
- 1:31:09Speaker 17: been overcharging its advertisers. Next news, 9 o'clock bulletins at once.
- 1:31:13Speaker 17: I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 1:31:16Speaker 4: Thanks, Daria. Congratulations to Kathy McGoff from Smithtown, New York.
- 1:31:21Speaker 4: You just won a pair of tickets to see Air
- 1:31:23Speaker 4: Supply November 14th at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair. Tickets
- 1:31:29Speaker 4: will go on sale now at Ticketmaster.com. You get another
- 1:31:32Speaker 4: chance to win tomorrow at 825. You know what? There's
- 1:31:36Speaker 4: a whole lot of things to get upset with Kathy
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: Hochul about. She says something almost every day that you
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: can blast. But wearing a headscarf at a mosque? Really? Well,
- 1:31:50Speaker 4: we're going to talk about that coming up next. But first,
- 1:31:53Speaker 4: let's talk about C-Crane. Specifically, CC Wi-Fi 3 internet radio.
- 1:32:01Speaker 4: Or just simply the CC Wi-Fi 3. It is the
- 1:32:04Speaker 4: radio you should have in your home as your main radio,
- 1:32:08Speaker 4: especially if you listen to podcasts or you want perfect
- 1:32:12Speaker 4: reception for shows like W-O-R, Curtis and Larry in the morning.
- 1:32:18Speaker 4: So if you struggle at all in getting good reception,
- 1:32:20Speaker 4: this is going to be your answer. You can receive
- 1:32:23Speaker 4: thousands of radio stations from across America, actually around the world,
- 1:32:28Speaker 4: right in your home. And unlike your smartphone or a computer,
- 1:32:33Speaker 4: you don't have to download an app. There's not a
- 1:32:35Speaker 4: monthly fee. Ads don't pop up on your screen. And
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: there's no microphones listening in. And best of all, you
- 1:32:43Speaker 4: can listen to our show with crystal clear audio. The
- 1:32:47Speaker 4: CC Wi-Fi 3 comes with a full-size remote control and
- 1:32:51Speaker 4: can pick up a strong Wi-Fi signal even when it's
- 1:32:54Speaker 4: farther away from your home router. This week, this week only,
- 1:32:59Speaker 4: you purchase the CC Wi-Fi 3 and you get $ 10 off.
- 1:33:04Speaker 4: That's $ 10 off your purchase of the CC Wi-Fi 3.
- 1:33:08Speaker 4: So to order the CC Wi-Fi 3 and receive $ 10 off,
- 1:33:12Speaker 4: call C-Crane at 800-522-8863. That's 800-522-8863. Or you can visit
- 1:33:21Speaker 4: them online at C-Crane.com. That's C-C-R-A-N-E.com. You know, Curtis, sometimes
- 1:33:29Speaker 4: I get upset at conservatives online. And this is one
- 1:33:35Speaker 4: of those times. Because there are things you can criticize
- 1:33:39Speaker 4: Kathy Hochul about every single day, every single day on policy,
- 1:33:44Speaker 4: every single day we suffer from what she has done.
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: But a lot of times there are some cheap shots
- 1:33:52Speaker 4: that shouldn't be taken. For instance, when Kathy Hochul went
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: to the Islamic Cultural Center of New York and Queens,
- 1:34:00Speaker 4: she wore a head covering, which was respectful of the religion, right?
- 1:34:04Speaker 31: Right.
- 1:34:06Speaker 4: Everybody says it was a hajib. You know, is that
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: how you pronounce it?
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: Hajib?
- 1:34:10Speaker 4: Yeah. It was a headscarf. It was just a scarf
- 1:34:14Speaker 4: she put over her head. So that was false to
- 1:34:18Speaker 4: start with. But it spread like wildfire. It went crazy
- 1:34:24Speaker 4: on social media saying, look, she's a Muslim lover. And
- 1:34:29Speaker 4: how bad are the Muslims? First of all, the Muslims
- 1:34:31Speaker 4: aren't that bad. Secondly, there is an extreme wing of
- 1:34:34Speaker 4: the Muslims that are really bad, but there's an extreme
- 1:34:37Speaker 4: wing of a lot of cultures that are really, really bad.
- 1:34:41Speaker 4: And so the fact that she just wore a head covering,
- 1:34:44Speaker 4: there's more important things. Stop going after the low-hanging fruit. Now,
- 1:34:50Speaker 4: what I suspect is people that were just looking for
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: clicks and looking for attention and that they weren't really
- 1:34:57Speaker 4: that upset about it. But let me just remind you
- 1:35:01Speaker 4: that In the Catholic Church, women used to have to
- 1:35:04Speaker 4: wear headdresses. They used to have to wear hats or
- 1:35:08Speaker 4: a veil over their head or something. That was until
- 1:35:10Speaker 4: the mid-1970s they had to do that. And to this day,
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: if a politician's wife visits the Vatican or a female
- 1:35:20Speaker 4: politician visits the Vatican, they have to wear something over
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: their head and they have to wear all black. And
- 1:35:26Speaker 4: they do it out of respect to the religion. So,
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: stop this stuff. It just makes, it makes conservatives look small.
- 1:35:36Speaker 4: And I don't, and I hate anything that's silly that
- 1:35:39Speaker 4: we say, because there's much more serious things to go after.
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: Oh, I concur. And I think in this case, Blakeman
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: went for the bait, the clicks. This is not an
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: issue that's on the minds of voters. So Ted Cruz
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: brought it up because it is an issue in Texas.
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: The number of mosques and madrasas that have popped up. It's,
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: It's the state with the largest growing Muslim population, and
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: they're investing in mosques and madrasas, and you see a
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: lot of women with their head covering. Okay, you want
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: to make that an issue in Texas? Blakeman, don't be
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: stupid to follow Ted Cruz. You got a million Muslims.
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: You saw their power in the city election. They had
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: never voted before. 10%, we were lucky to vote. And
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: then with Zorhan Mandami, because he was under attack by
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: a lot of conservatives for the culture. for the religion.
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: They rallied around him, even though culturally they had nothing
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: at all in common with him. They're some of the
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: most conservative people who walk the earth. This is not good.
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: This is like a guarantee of saying you'll never get
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: these Muslims to even consider Republicans. It's so foolish. It
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: has nothing. Look, in the past, I've seen pictures of Ivanka,
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: Nikki Haley, Laura Bush, police commissioner Jessica Tisch when she
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: attended the funeral in Wake, For the NYPD detective Islam
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: who was killed, remember, in his second job. It's what
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: you do where you don't go inside. You know, that's it.
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: You have a choice. Don't go inside. But to make
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: this an issue, Blakeman, there's so many issues you can
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: hurt her on.
- 1:37:13Speaker 4: Well, he seems to be against a lot of things.
- 1:37:16Speaker 4: I need to know more about what he's for. And
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: I think that's a problem with a lot of politicians
- 1:37:22Speaker 4: these days. They attack. And it's usually on the Democratic side.
- 1:37:25Speaker 4: They attack and they attack and they attack. I hate
- 1:37:27Speaker 4: Donald Trump. Whatever Donald Trump does, I hate. Now we're
- 1:37:30Speaker 4: seeing it on the Republican side in this state. He's
- 1:37:34Speaker 4: got to get out and say something. If he wants
- 1:37:36Speaker 4: to get out of the data centers, that's great. On
- 1:37:38Speaker 4: the flock cameras, that's great. On how expensive it is,
- 1:37:41Speaker 4: that's great. But come out with a position, and I
- 1:37:44Speaker 4: think he should be putting out a position every single day.
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: Exactly. Now, we saw the mayor doing the dancing, the horror,
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: and the Tarantello with other city council people because now
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: it's official. Outdoor dining will exist throughout the year. And
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: they're saying especially like November, December, January. So think about it.
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: With all the homeless people we have that I deal
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: with every day, all the emotionally disturbed people, they're all
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: over the place, in the subways, in the streets. You're
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: basically giving them a little homeless shelter in the winter
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: because there's going to be garbage stored there. There's going
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: to be rats and mice. What are you doing?
- 1:38:22Speaker 4: Well, here, how about a resident complaining about this?
- 1:38:26Speaker 7: I'd like to know, does Julie Manning or anyone on
- 1:38:29Speaker 7: the city council live upstairs from one of these outdoor
- 1:38:33Speaker 7: dining kiosks? I'm sure they don't. All of the noise,
- 1:38:37Speaker 7: the traffic. The rats in the evening, homeless people take
- 1:38:42Speaker 7: over the kiosks. There's drug dealing going on there.
- 1:38:47Speaker 3: Sex going on in there.
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: It's awful. Sex going on in there. That's all true.
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: The Lower East Side, that's what was going on. People,
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: prostitutes were turning tricks in these sheds. you know, low
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: budget prostitutes, but still it was taking place. This is
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: all more of this naivete of the mayor's on Mondami
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: and the city council. Oh, we're going to have sheds.
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: If you were a homeless guy, Larry, wouldn't you want
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: to cop a squat in a shed overnight?
- 1:39:13Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. I'd be looking for sheds. Exactly.
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: And by the way, if you are a rat or
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: a mouse.
- 1:39:19Speaker 4: I'd actually cop a squat in one and then sleep
- 1:39:22Speaker 4: in another. I wouldn't sleep where I squatted. This is
- 1:39:27Speaker 4: such naivete.
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, the one case, Slam Dunk, the
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: case involving the murderer of Tupac Shakur— There were no debates.
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: There were no conspiracies. The guy was found guilty, lickety-split.
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: He talked about it in his book. He said it
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: on podcasts. I did it.
- 1:39:44Speaker 31: I did it.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: And finally, a jury came back in, what, 30 seconds
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: and said— Three hours. Yeah, you did do it.
- 1:39:51Speaker 4: Yeah, three hours is like a minimum for— you know, you
- 1:39:54Speaker 4: don't want to go out right away. You want to
- 1:39:56Speaker 4: be able to look like you actually talked this over.
- 1:39:58Speaker 4: But you're right, almost immediately— And the guy's name is
- 1:40:02Speaker 4: Dwayne Keffy D. Davis. It was a rival gang fight.
- 1:40:06Speaker 4: They pulled up next to him in a little community
- 1:40:09Speaker 4: outside of Las Vegas at a red light and opened
- 1:40:12Speaker 4: fire and killed him. And Dwayne Keffie D was in
- 1:40:16Speaker 4: the car and drove back, and they went into his
- 1:40:19Speaker 4: car because they wanted to get an automatic weapon that
- 1:40:23Speaker 4: he had out of the car so they could have it.
- 1:40:25Speaker 4: And he bragged about this in interviews, in podcasts, in
- 1:40:30Speaker 4: a book. So all of the theories about rival rappers
- 1:40:34Speaker 4: going after him and P. Diddy going after him, all
- 1:40:38Speaker 4: are false. It was just a gang takedown.
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: Well, up next, I'm going to try to convince you why, Larry,
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: we have to do an end to this tariff battle
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: with Canada. And it happens to do with your tush.
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: It's something that everybody has to do every day of
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: their life. Your dupa, your tush. Well, let me tell
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: you a situation that has occurred in our backyard that
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: should be alarming to you and indicate to you why
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: you have to protect yourself now. from predators, predators who
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: will go to data brokers and people's search sites to
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: gather up your personal information. There was a nurse on
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: Long Island. She sold an old iPhone on Facebook Marketplace.
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: Only one listing. That was it, she thought. The guy
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: who answered it was a total stranger from Jersey. Over
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: the next three years, he found her phone number and
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: just started collecting information that was available for a few
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: bucks online. Then he found her parents' home address. Then
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: he shows up. Then there are threats, unwanted packages, late-night
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: visits to the house, a complete catastrophe. She did everything right,
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: and she still couldn't get him off her doorstep. And
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: she always wondered, like everyone else, how did he acquire
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: all this information? Anybody can. Bad people can from data
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: brokers and people's search sites. There are no laws against that.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: So you got to put up the firewall the way
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: I do it and the way you should do it
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: is with incognito. Get a pen and a pen and
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: write this down and share it with friends or relatives
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: who are jammed up the same way. Incogni will force
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: data brokers and people search sites to delete you. Then
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: it keeps checking because they understand it may pop back

- 1:42:52Speaker 2: who is recovering from her surgery at home but still
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: producing this show with the help of The Quiet Storm.
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: Who's gone, Chris. He's back to Mark Simone. He's not gone.
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: He's still with us.
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: But he's back to being quiet.
- 1:43:08Speaker 4: You're doing really well, by the way, for being on
- 1:43:10Speaker 4: a gurney.
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:43:13Speaker 4: It's amazing how good you are. What a trooper.
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: But welcome back, Natalie.
- 1:43:17Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: Welcome back. Now, I want to convince you, Larry, that
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: we've got to get away with these tariff wars with
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: Canada for one clear reason. There's one product that all Americans... 99.9%
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: of Americans use 8 million tons of it a year,
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: toilet paper, toilet paper. And you may say, well, why
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: does it have to be resolved? Don't we have enough
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: paper pulp here in the United States to make toilet paper? Yes,
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: we have enough. The problem is you need a blend
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: of fibers. In order to soften the toilet paper, you
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: got to get the Canadian fiber. That's what goes into Charmin.
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: You know, Mr. Whipple, when you squeeze the Charmin and
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: it's soft on your tush, on your duper. If we
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: don't do it, and I learned all of this at
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: the Markel paper plant, which was right on I-80, you know,
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: where Patterson met Elmwood Park and then it burnt down
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: because they would use recycled paper everywhere. Man, Larry, you
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: got to come on board. America will be grumpy if
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: they have to wipe their tuchus, their dupa, with scratchy paper.
- 1:44:25Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question.
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:44:27Speaker 4: Has there ever been a time when you went, oh,
- 1:44:29Speaker 4: my God, that's great toilet paper?
- 1:44:32Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
- 1:44:33Speaker 11: Have you?
- 1:44:33Speaker 5: Yeah, you go, wow, they actually spend the extra cash
- 1:44:36Speaker 5: on this one.
- 1:44:38Speaker 4: I've never had a moment where I came out and
- 1:44:40Speaker 4: said to my wife, Hey, you know what in there?
- 1:44:42Speaker 4: Great toilet paper.
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You go to those rest stops. They
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: have all those thin pieces. You need a thousand of
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: them to do what two pieces of Charmin would have done. Absolutely.
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: I'm a cognoscente when it comes to toilet paper.
- 1:44:57Speaker 4: Maybe I have a crack of steel because I have
- 1:44:59Speaker 4: never felt the difference in toilet paper.
- 1:45:04Speaker 8: Never.
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: Come on.
- 1:45:05Speaker 8: Never.
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: I have never.
- 1:45:07Speaker 4: Never did I go and go, well, you know, can
- 1:45:09Speaker 4: I talk to your owner for a second? Your toilet paper.
- 1:45:12Speaker 4: I've never, never had a moment like that.
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: I am shocked. I'm shocked.
- 1:45:17Speaker 4: Have anybody complained about toilet paper before?
- 1:45:19Speaker 3: Talkbacks, please.
- 1:45:21Speaker 21: Send some talkbacks.
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: We're going to bring this back up tomorrow.
- 1:45:24Speaker 8: Always.
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: I mean, we grew up with that commercial, right? Mr. Whipple,
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: squeeze the Charmin because it was softer than any other brand.
- 1:45:32Speaker 4: That's who you go to, Mr. Whipple, in this conversation?
- 1:45:35Speaker 5: See, I kind of agree because in my household, my
- 1:45:38Speaker 5: mom always used to buy Scott.
- 1:45:40Speaker 3: Because we had, in New York, we had septics. And
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: you couldn't use the good stuff with septics.
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:45:47Speaker 4: What's wrong with Scott paper?
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: It was a little hard, itchy.
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: It was American. Only American fibers. No Canadian fibers.
- 1:45:54Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: This is a very serious issue.
- 1:45:57Speaker 4: Your people with your gentle anuses are a problem in
- 1:46:00Speaker 4: this country.
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: I am telling you, without the blend, you get a
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: scratchy result. You don't. You want to go scratchy and you.
- 1:46:08Speaker 4: Talk us all day. Well, that happens naturally.
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: Oh, man. Anyway, Larry, let me tell you something. You're
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: lost now. I don't know what more I can do
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: to convince you it's something we all have to use
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: each and every day. Turlet paper.
- 1:46:27Speaker 4: It'll be plenty of it. It'll be plentiful. It'll be fine.
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: Anyway, I know we'll have a lot of talkbacks on
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: that for tomorrow, but this morning we had talkbacks about
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: which generation smokes the most weed, but the talkback of

- 1:46:48Speaker 16: I'm 62 years old right now. And I've smoked marijuana
- 1:46:51Speaker 16: for the last 40 years. No cigarettes. It's marijuana. And
- 1:46:56Speaker 16: the stinky stuff you're smelling, they call it some really
- 1:47:01Speaker 16: good stuff. Have a good day, guys.
