Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 4: AI is well-liked
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, it's coming and it's getting close. A storm system
- 0:04Speaker 1: on the way, a powerful storm system with drenching rain
- 0:09Speaker 1: and thunder storms. Let's get the latest from Jeff Maher
- 0:13Speaker 1: seven to ten WOR Weather Channel meteorologist. Jeff, I'm sure
- 0:17Speaker 1: you're looking at the radar maps. When are we expecting
- 0:21Speaker 1: this in the New York City area. It seems like
- 0:23Speaker 1: it'd already hit parts of New Jersey.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Northwest Jersey is already under a flash flood warning
- 0:28Speaker 2: for southwestern Sussex County in northern Warren County. That's until
- 0:32Speaker 2: one o'clock this afternoon, already picking up about a half
- 0:35Speaker 2: inch to an inch a rainfall in those areas. We'll
- 0:37Speaker 2: have more to continue within into the afternoon. It's going
- 0:39Speaker 2: to overspread the cities we head towards around midday, around noon,
- 0:43Speaker 2: and then it only pick up an intensity through the afternoon.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Not only will we have to worry about heavy rain
- 0:47Speaker 2: with that floodwatch in effect, but these storms also may
- 0:50Speaker 2: turn severe and prouce of damaging wind gusts, possibly even
- 0:52Speaker 2: some hail, maybe in a slight risk for a tornado.
- 0:55Speaker 2: So active weather, certainly for your way back home later
- 0:57Speaker 2: today and into the evening hours now, Jeff.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Causing this. We're getting these heat spells with massive humidity,
- 1:05Speaker 3: sometimes feeling like it's one hundred usually last seventy two hours,
- 1:09Speaker 3: and then boom, the extreme weather comes in, the flash flooding,
- 1:13Speaker 3: sometimes almost like on Saturday this past Saturday, three inches
- 1:17Speaker 3: within one hour. And yet it's repeating itself, this syndrome
- 1:22Speaker 3: over and over.
- 1:23Speaker 1: What causes it?
- 1:24Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got two fronts we'll be moving through today.
- 1:26Speaker 2: The first one is going to be a warm front
- 1:28Speaker 2: and that's going to be followed by a cold front.
- 1:29Speaker 2: So anytime you get fronts moving into some warm and
- 1:33Speaker 2: moist air, the end result will be thunderstorms, and like
- 1:35Speaker 2: we had last weekend, a lot of energy to work with,
- 1:37Speaker 2: so a lot of up drafts and vault with these
- 1:40Speaker 2: stronger thunderstorms, that's where you get the heavy downpours and
- 1:43Speaker 2: also the potential for some damage and wind gusts and hail.
- 1:45Speaker 2: So a lot of activity again coming up for us today.
- 1:48Speaker 2: We're not done. We'll have more rain tonight and early tomorrow,
- 1:50Speaker 2: but then improvements tomorrow afternoon, and then a stretch of
- 1:53Speaker 2: dry weather and comfortable temperatures starting tomorrow afternoon and continuing
- 1:56Speaker 2: right on through our weekend, Jeff.
- 1:58Speaker 1: These days everybody can get radar on their phone, and
- 2:01Speaker 1: Natalie was just showing me the radar of this system.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It doesn't seem in this system like it's just these
- 2:08Speaker 1: pop up thunderstorms. It seems like a full line of
- 2:12Speaker 1: red with lightning in it that is hitting the New
- 2:15Speaker 1: Jersey on the west. Is it going to continue that
- 2:19Speaker 1: way and when it hits we can expect these thunderstorms.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Before we were saying it's possible, it seems like it's
- 2:26Speaker 1: more certain now.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely. We are seeing the heavy rainfall. As
- 2:31Speaker 2: we mentioned, it's even heading up to portions of the
- 2:33Speaker 2: Upstate as well, So if you're traveling north or west,
- 2:35Speaker 2: you're going to run into some heavy rainfall here in
- 2:37Speaker 2: the next couple of hours, and then closer to the
- 2:39Speaker 2: city and obviously portions of Long Island, and as you
- 2:42Speaker 2: get up into Connecticut as well. It's going to be
- 2:44Speaker 2: active this afternoon and into the evening hour. So several
- 2:46Speaker 2: rounds of showers and storms, not only this first one
- 2:48Speaker 2: that comes in as we wrap up the morning and
- 2:50Speaker 2: start off the afternoon. We'll have more later today. And
- 2:52Speaker 2: I think the biggest window for severe weather probably from
- 2:54Speaker 2: about two or three o'clock this afternoon until eight o'clock
- 2:57Speaker 2: this evening, and the floodwatch continues through late to night.
- 3:00Speaker 2: So heavy rain moving in today, sticking around at the
- 3:02Speaker 2: evening before it tapers off an intensity overnight into Wednesday morning.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Now, I want you to be Connact the Magnificent for
- 3:08Speaker 3: a second and peer into the future. We're in the
- 3:11Speaker 3: storm and the hurricane season. We expecting to be in
- 3:16Speaker 3: the eye of any of these storms are hurricanes, you know.
- 3:19Speaker 1: The prediction markets probably already have that up.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we are in a strong al Nino pattern.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Usually when that happens, you have a lot of winds here,
- 3:29Speaker 2: so that upper level strong winds kind of inhibit the
- 3:33Speaker 2: formation of a lot of tropicles systems. But we're already
- 3:36Speaker 2: seeing that we have one right now. We've got trople
- 3:38Speaker 2: Storm Bertha in the northern part of the Gulf that's
- 3:40Speaker 2: going to drift towards New Orleans as we head from
- 3:42Speaker 2: tomorrow into portions of Thursday morning. It just produced some
- 3:46Speaker 2: gusty winds, not a huge event for them. There may
- 3:48Speaker 2: be some minor coastal flooding and some gusty winds We're
- 3:51Speaker 2: not talking like anything strong, like a co trinity type
- 3:54Speaker 2: situation by any means, so they're going to be dealing
- 3:56Speaker 2: with that. But yeah, I wouldn't put it. You know,
- 3:58Speaker 2: it's not really the number of storms, and it's the
- 4:00Speaker 2: ones that get strong. How many of those are you
- 4:03Speaker 2: dealing with and where they hit? Obviously this's the problem.
- 4:05Speaker 2: So we are not done by any stretch as far
- 4:07Speaker 2: as the tropol season. We have to get through the
- 4:09Speaker 2: peak of it late August into September, and then as
- 4:12Speaker 2: we head into parts in October.
- 4:14Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, thanks so much. Jeff mar seven to
- 4:16Speaker 1: ten Weather Channel meteorologist. We're bracing for the worst of it.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Hopefully it'll go by fast. Thanks a lot, Jeff.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking just from New York City. We've got all
- 4:26Speaker 3: these catch basins. I can't say it enough. I when
- 4:30Speaker 3: I passed a catch basin, which is the old sewer
- 4:33Speaker 3: on the corner, I look down to see if there's liquid,
- 4:37Speaker 3: how far down you can go. And in many of
- 4:39Speaker 3: these catch basins you can almost put your hand down
- 4:43Speaker 3: in touch the accumulated debris, which means the moment is
- 4:48Speaker 3: even more than an inch in an hour, that catch
- 4:52Speaker 3: basin is not going to be able to consume all
- 4:55Speaker 3: that overflow. No, so it's going to be backed up
- 4:58Speaker 3: on that corner and then other corner, and then in
- 5:00Speaker 3: the subways. Likewise, you have these catch basins. When you
- 5:04Speaker 3: look over and you can actually see into the tracks,
- 5:08Speaker 3: you see the catch basins and there's all kinds of
- 5:11Speaker 3: garbage that's accumulated into them, and they're not being cleaned
- 5:15Speaker 3: on a regular basis. So you notice it's almost a
- 5:17Speaker 3: guarantee the catch basins are going to keel over with
- 5:21Speaker 3: excess water and garbage that's been left in the street and.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Likewise in the subways, and they never do anything.
- 5:28Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything done by you, the Deblasio Adams
- 5:31Speaker 3: and now with johanman Dami. These are the basics of
- 5:34Speaker 3: why you have a mayor. You know, the party is over,
- 5:37Speaker 3: you know, uh, nick Mania, swift Mania, World Cup Mania,
- 5:41Speaker 3: Let's get back to the basics and clean these freaking
- 5:44Speaker 3: catch basins out.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another problem as well, and that what you
- 5:48Speaker 1: talked about is extremely important. But remember this, we just
- 5:52Speaker 1: had some heavy rain. We had flooding rain. The ground
- 5:55Speaker 1: is saturated right now, so it's going to flood and
- 5:59Speaker 1: it's going to accumulate much faster because there's already a
- 6:02Speaker 1: lot of water in the ground. So just be very careful.
- 6:06Speaker 1: If you can leave work earlier, work from home, Today's
- 6:10Speaker 1: probably a good day to do it. But be careful driving.
- 6:13Speaker 1: And if you see an accumulation of water on the road,
- 6:16Speaker 1: please don't drive through it. That's how so many people
- 6:19Speaker 1: got in trouble just a couple of days ago. So
- 6:22Speaker 1: just just be really careful, especially when you're driving out there.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Now.
- 6:25Speaker 3: You notice when they build new developments, now, a brand
- 6:28Speaker 3: new development.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Let's say.
- 6:31Speaker 3: A subdivide in area, you know, for housing, they don't
- 6:36Speaker 3: have any telephone poles up. Everything is put underground. But
- 6:39Speaker 3: it's got to be brand new the development. And you
- 6:42Speaker 3: have time and time again, look at what happened to
- 6:44Speaker 3: Natalie over the weekend. The tree comes over, knocks into
- 6:48Speaker 3: the electric pole, down goes the electricity. People who are
- 6:51Speaker 3: out is over and over and they always say it's
- 6:54Speaker 3: cost too much money to have to start taking the
- 6:58Speaker 3: old lines and put underground. Well, if you don't stop
- 7:02Speaker 3: doing this now. With the dramatically increased heat in the atmosphere,
- 7:06Speaker 3: which extends the amount of time where we can have
- 7:10Speaker 3: this extreme weather well beyond what normally used to take place.
- 7:14Speaker 3: We're going to have this over and over, so you
- 7:16Speaker 3: have blackouts, brownouts, spoiled food, then all of a sudden
- 7:21Speaker 3: you have all kinds of problems that accompany that. Why
- 7:24Speaker 3: not just make that an issue investment and bury these
- 7:28Speaker 3: electric lines underground once and for all.
- 7:30Speaker 1: That's a great idea, you know the way municipalities work. However,
- 7:34Speaker 1: they don't want to spend that money now because everybody's
- 7:38Speaker 1: tight on money these days. Remember when we had all
- 7:41Speaker 1: of those graduation speakers getting booed over AI. Oh yes,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and the feeling was, man, the young hate the idea
- 7:51Speaker 1: of AI. But you're right you pointed this out. There's
- 7:54Speaker 1: a new poll out that shows most Americans are for
- 7:58Speaker 1: AI fable view of it, and that's because they use
- 8:02Speaker 1: it like you do, Larry.
- 8:04Speaker 3: But would they be in favor of an AI datifiling
- 8:08Speaker 3: center in their backyard. No, which is necessary for AI
- 8:12Speaker 3: to keep expanding in terms of its use.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because I get emails
- 8:19Speaker 1: still about AI and I can't believe you're against AI.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I'm not against AI. I don't believe you're against AI.
- 8:26Speaker 1: By the way, if I was against AI. It wouldn't matter.
- 8:28Speaker 1: It's still coming. It is a new advancement in human civilization.
- 8:35Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you have to put a huge
- 8:38Speaker 1: AI data center in the middle of a community. That
- 8:42Speaker 1: makes no sense. We have lots of land to put
- 8:47Speaker 1: these things. So that's all I'm against, just to clear
- 8:51Speaker 1: things up, and I'm sure you have a similar position.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Well, I don't need AI because when I come here
- 8:55Speaker 3: to Woor, we have this chavant or board operated Crash,
- 9:00Speaker 3: who has one contest about the wealth of information he
- 9:03Speaker 3: has all over the country. So I just rely on Crash,
- 9:07Speaker 3: I said, Crash, tell me what you rely on Google
- 9:10Speaker 3: and AI?
- 9:11Speaker 1: I rely on Crash. Yeah, we'll have to see who
- 9:13Speaker 1: does better. What are you gonna be on Jeopardy? He
- 9:18Speaker 1: should be, I no kidding. He would win. He'd be
- 9:21Speaker 1: perfect on Jeopardy.
- 9:22Speaker 3: My god, he just had a vast resource of knowledge.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And let me get to this, Paul, since we just
- 9:29Speaker 1: mentioned a recond ago, Harris X says fifty six percent
- 9:34Speaker 1: of voters have a favorable view of AI. Now you
- 9:38Speaker 1: might think to yourself, oh, it's gonna be close. Only
- 9:40Speaker 1: fifty six percent, But thirty six percent have an unfavorable view.
- 9:45Speaker 1: So if this was an election, that's a landslide. Most
- 9:48Speaker 1: people are for AI by a lot. Seventy one percent
- 9:53Speaker 1: said they believed AI was the start of a new
- 9:58Speaker 1: industrial revolution.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Yeah, well, guess what they're putting that factory in your
- 10:03Speaker 3: backyard with the NonStop noise. Anyway, guess what tomorrow it's
- 10:11Speaker 3: on me. I'm still a little confused about this. The
- 10:15Speaker 3: FDA has rescinded its callback of tailor lettuce, the Taco
- 10:20Speaker 3: bell uses that they claimed had caused the Montezuma's revenge
- 10:25Speaker 3: to spread into thirty four states and on. But tomorrow,
- 10:30Speaker 3: if i have to take my gondola out, I'm going
- 10:33Speaker 3: to Taco Bell, I'm bringing Taco Bell in the morning.
- 10:36Speaker 3: I'm taking crashes. Order your ordinarily, your ordinary, and mine
- 10:42Speaker 3: with extra lettuce, extra lettuce, and extra lettuce on the side,
- 10:46Speaker 3: and make sure it's tailor grown lettuce from Mexico. Come on,
- 10:51Speaker 3: it's either one way or the other. They're confusing us
- 10:54Speaker 3: every step of the way. Meantime, all right, Heart Radio
- 10:58Speaker 3: Music Festival is back, featuring live performances by Benson Boom,
- 11:03Speaker 3: the Google Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Weezer
- 11:07Speaker 3: and Moore at September eighteenth to nineteenth at the T
- 11:10Speaker 3: Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
- 11:11Speaker 1: That's two nights, one stage.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Now it's your chance to buy tickets at AXS dot com.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Get them now before they sell out first that day.
- 11:22Speaker 3: I'm gonna be Santi Claus tomorrow. I'm taking your orders
- 11:26Speaker 3: right now. Crash our board operator, Natalie, our producer, you,
- 11:30Speaker 3: Larry my coast, because an injustice has been done here
- 11:36Speaker 3: by our Food and Drug administration. One minute, they implicated
- 11:42Speaker 3: the tailor, which is a huge aga firm that grows
- 11:48Speaker 3: lettuce for wholesalers and retailers throughout the United States, especially
- 11:53Speaker 3: for Taco Bell for its ingredients. Most of that lettuce
- 11:57Speaker 3: has grown in Mexico and then ship nor no doubt,
- 12:01Speaker 3: as part of the North American.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Free Trade Association agreement.
- 12:06Speaker 3: So we saw that all of a sudden, people were
- 12:08Speaker 3: getting what I call the Montezuma's revenge. What's the technical
- 12:13Speaker 3: name of that, Larry that exploding diarrhea. They have cyclops
- 12:20Speaker 3: to give a disease, whatever name they've applied to it.
- 12:23Speaker 1: The germ or the bacteria is called cyclospora.
- 12:26Speaker 3: And I Remember I was saying, look, all you got
- 12:29Speaker 3: to do is look at Taco Bell.
- 12:30Speaker 1: They've had a history of all kinds of problems.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Just in the last ten years, Salm salmonilla outbreak, They've
- 12:36Speaker 3: had an Eco lie outbreak, trace to the vegetables that
- 12:40Speaker 3: they use in them any food products. And this time
- 12:44Speaker 3: the FDA zoned in on Taylor, the provider of the
- 12:47Speaker 3: lettuce that Taco Bell uses, and especially in this one
- 12:52Speaker 3: county in Michigan where like my god, per capita per person,
- 12:56Speaker 3: they were hermetically sealed to their porcelain palace as a result,
- 13:00Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they rescinded that and said
- 13:04Speaker 3: we were on we apologize now all of a sudden,
- 13:08Speaker 3: I'm getting the impression that they stand by their recall
- 13:11Speaker 3: of the tailor lettuce. You know, I mean, bushels full
- 13:15Speaker 3: of the lettuce have been recalled out of supermarkets, are
- 13:19Speaker 3: from wholesalers, from those fast food emporiums that use lettuce,
- 13:23Speaker 3: especially Taco Bell. So I'm taking a stand for Taco Bell.
- 13:28Speaker 3: I've done this before, as Crash our board operator indicated
- 13:32Speaker 3: at WABC when they were engulfed in one of their
- 13:35Speaker 3: many controversies about the vegetables they use in their products,
- 13:39Speaker 3: and I ate Taco bell on air. Tomorrow, I'm bringing
- 13:43Speaker 3: in Taco Bella in the morning. Hopefully there's no flooding.
- 13:46Speaker 3: I won't have to get a gondola in order to
- 13:48Speaker 3: do it. So Natalie, I'm taking your order. Crash, I'm
- 13:52Speaker 3: taking your order.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Larry.
- 13:53Speaker 3: I'm taking your order because I know you love Taco
- 13:55Speaker 3: bell Larry, and don't tell me hold the lettuce on
- 13:59Speaker 3: my product. I'm getting extra lettuce and I want lettuce
- 14:03Speaker 3: on the.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Side, and I have to Why don't you have my
- 14:06Speaker 4: lettuce for me?
- 14:07Speaker 1: Okay, I'll basically eat your order.
- 14:11Speaker 3: But at the end of the show, I'm gonna take
- 14:13Speaker 3: everybody's order and I'm gonna deliver.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I know where the Taco bell is, not too far
- 14:16Speaker 1: from here.
- 14:17Speaker 3: They're not a twenty four hour operation, so this is
- 14:20Speaker 3: like having a slice of cold pizza in the morning.
- 14:23Speaker 1: It's gonna be cold. So you're taking the orders at
- 14:25Speaker 1: the end of the show.
- 14:26Speaker 3: At the end of the show, and then towards closing
- 14:29Speaker 3: of the Taco Bell, I'll pick them up. I'll bring
- 14:32Speaker 3: him here. I'll put him here so that I don't
- 14:34Speaker 3: eat them on my way back. To the apartment.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Thanks for that.
- 14:37Speaker 4: Perusing the website right now.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Yeah, you can find stuff without lettuce.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, and you can custom order.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Everything SOUREDO looks good. Are their menu to see the incuredo.
- 14:48Speaker 4: I'm looking at the crunch Wrap Supreme minus the lettuce.
- 14:53Speaker 1: America loves Taco Bell.
- 14:55Speaker 3: In fact, at Taco Bell restaurants across the country, they've
- 14:58Speaker 3: been telling their customers, some of whom on line up
- 15:01Speaker 3: around the block for the takeout, is hey, well, just
- 15:05Speaker 3: when we won't put letters in the past.
- 15:07Speaker 1: They actually stopped putting it on there for a while.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Maybe difficult to get it. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 15:13Speaker 5: I rolled in assault. I rolled in a cab from
- 15:17Speaker 5: JFK to Queens. It was a minivan. My family sat
- 15:21Speaker 5: in the back and I sat in the front with
- 15:23Speaker 5: the driver. He's been driving twenty seven years. It was
- 15:26Speaker 5: the most fun experience I've ever had in my life.
- 15:30Speaker 5: I've never zipped around a busy city like that ever.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Take care of us.
- 15:36Speaker 4: See he was a cab driver. He doesn't want a robot.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I think most people have you if given the option,
- 15:41Speaker 1: they want a cab driver.
- 15:43Speaker 6: Good morning, guys. I remember when the plane crash happened.
- 15:46Speaker 2: I was a kid.
- 15:47Speaker 6: I was watching TV on Channel four News. They had
- 15:50Speaker 6: a news break they said that accident happened, and they
- 15:53Speaker 6: showed a picture of people at like a I don't
- 15:56Speaker 6: want to back porche like somewhere along the island, and
- 15:58Speaker 6: behind him you saw the contract build up into this guy.
- 16:01Speaker 6: They only showed it during one commercial break. They never
- 16:04Speaker 6: showed it after that, but I remember it absolutely happened.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Thank you. It seems like a lot of people think
- 16:10Speaker 1: this was taken out by an Egyptian militant group.
- 16:13Speaker 2: A lot of.
- 16:14Speaker 3: People, well, look, Joe Bartlett, Curtis Shliwa, a lot of
- 16:17Speaker 3: our listeners never resolved, and there is a documentary on air.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Now.
- 16:24Speaker 3: You go to YouTube and you can see all the
- 16:26Speaker 3: updated information that should force the Trump administration to take
- 16:31Speaker 3: a new look at this. In fact, let's give credit
- 16:34Speaker 3: where credit is due to Judicial Watch, which did the
- 16:37Speaker 3: deep dive and created this documentary.
- 16:39Speaker 2: That is great.
- 16:40Speaker 4: I'll tell you. I mean I started w WOR right
- 16:43Speaker 4: after that happened. For years, Joe talked about it for years.
- 16:48Speaker 1: It was great to get him. Let's get another talk back.
- 16:51Speaker 7: It's Curtis Larry. You know it happens. It's technology. It's
- 16:55Speaker 7: been happening since what like the thirties and forties when
- 16:57Speaker 7: the TV came out. Hey, I need the idiot box
- 17:01Speaker 7: in my house.
- 17:02Speaker 1: I've I've got the radio right here.
- 17:05Speaker 7: And then VHS to DVD. We need's a DVD player
- 17:10Speaker 7: the internet. We don't need the Internet. We can go
- 17:12Speaker 7: to a library. Same thing with AI. It's technology, Accept it,
- 17:18Speaker 7: adapt and relax.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I hope you just did that to do that impression.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And now you yeah, I.
- 17:25Speaker 8: Think you completely misunderstood what I said. And I think
- 17:28Speaker 8: Curtis has the exact same position.
- 17:30Speaker 1: We're not against AI.
- 17:32Speaker 8: We know it's an advancement in human civilization. It's the
- 17:36Speaker 8: AI centers in communities that were against.
- 17:39Speaker 3: But Larry, now that he's taking us on the time machine,
- 17:43Speaker 3: I want my eight track back.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Oh, I want my a track.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Wasn't that great where you could just reach into the
- 17:50Speaker 3: console you had all your eight track tapes there?
- 17:53Speaker 1: I want my eight track back. And then when you
- 17:55Speaker 1: had to pull it out and somehow the tape got
- 17:58Speaker 1: round up on the internal world.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Got your watch tape out, and all of a sudden
- 18:03Speaker 3: you sliced and you put it back together.
- 18:05Speaker 1: It became an art to be able to do that.
- 18:08Speaker 1: You're the only person in the world that misses a tracks.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Maybe Daria Alberger does Dary Alberger with the News.
- 18:16Speaker 9: You know when that stuff came out. I was just
- 18:18Speaker 9: a kid, and I remember, and I remember when we
- 18:20Speaker 9: went to cassette tape. I learned that sign scenes what's
- 18:25Speaker 9: a song Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel
- 18:28Speaker 9: is actually one song, not two songs, because it used
- 18:31Speaker 9: to be on track three and track four.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another problem with it.
- 18:37Speaker 9: And the last resort on the Eagles Long Run album
- 18:40Speaker 9: Same Thing, track one, track three, track four. So you
- 18:43Speaker 9: learn that, you learned that was just one really really
- 18:45Speaker 9: long song that didn't put.
- 18:46Speaker 2: On the track.
- 18:47Speaker 9: So if you do one thing before you leave today,
- 18:51Speaker 9: grab your umbrella. You're gonna need it later on. The
- 18:53Speaker 9: city and a good portion of New Jersey are under

- 19:21Speaker 9: news conference this afternoon on Legionnaire's disease, with a fourth

- 20:31Speaker 3: Scammers only text then email you when they have your info.

- 21:44Speaker 1: Well, we just talked to the ever popular former or
- 21:48Speaker 1: news director WLR Joe Bartlett, who is now living in
- 21:51Speaker 1: South Carolina, and he said, at one point, nobody seems
- 21:55Speaker 1: to be from here. Everybody's moving here. The top question
- 21:59Speaker 1: you asked to each other is where are you from?
- 22:02Speaker 1: And we know from statistics that a lot of the
- 22:05Speaker 1: people there are from New York. You don't see this
- 22:10Speaker 1: in real time. You only see it year after year
- 22:13Speaker 1: after year. That's when it has an effect on the
- 22:16Speaker 1: tax base, on jobs, everything, quality of life. People are
- 22:22Speaker 1: leaving New York, and by the way, they're leaving other
- 22:26Speaker 1: blue states to go to mostly red states. That's going
- 22:31Speaker 1: to affect future elections as well. Here's Harry Enton from
- 22:36Speaker 1: CNN talking specifically about where people are moving from the
- 22:42Speaker 1: states where the most people are leaving.
- 22:45Speaker 10: Well, look at this California, Harris' home state, New York,
- 22:49Speaker 10: where I'm coming from coming from right now.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Of course, Illinois New Jersey and of.
- 22:54Speaker 10: Course the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which is a bastion
- 22:58Speaker 10: of blue liberalism. These the states that folks in the
- 23:01Speaker 10: United States are moving away from and into the Red States,
- 23:04Speaker 10: which is propelling a red state boom.
- 23:07Speaker 1: We're talking about hundreds of thousands of people from every state,
- 23:10Speaker 1: So where are they moving to.
- 23:12Speaker 10: Look at this, the biggest population growth this decade all
- 23:15Speaker 10: five of the states states that Donald Trump Donald John
- 23:18Speaker 10: Trump won Donald John Trump won in twenty twenty four, Texas, Florida,
- 23:24Speaker 10: North Carolina, Georgia, and of course the great state of Arizona.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Listen to this. In the last four years, four hundred
- 23:32Speaker 1: and forty six thousand people, almost four hundred and forty
- 23:36Speaker 1: seven thousand people have left the state of New York.
- 23:40Speaker 1: California has more, but because there's more people in California,
- 23:44Speaker 1: we have a larger percentage, So we're number one on
- 23:46Speaker 1: the list. California's second. They lost five hundred and thirty thousand.
- 23:51Speaker 1: That's a million people that left New York and California
- 23:56Speaker 1: to go elsewhere. There's going to be a huge effect
- 24:00Speaker 1: on this and what the counties, the counties where the
- 24:02Speaker 1: most people have left over the last few years. Number
- 24:04Speaker 1: one is Los Angeles County, number two, Queens number three,
- 24:09Speaker 1: the Bronx. It is fascinating to me, Curtis, that Manhattan
- 24:13Speaker 1: didn't make that list. I would think Manhattan was. But
- 24:16Speaker 1: then it kind of makes sense because the people that
- 24:18Speaker 1: live in Manhattan, many of them are very wealthy, and
- 24:21Speaker 1: they have renk control departments. Oh yeah, that's true. That's true.
- 24:25Speaker 3: It's a million red control department. But let me put
- 24:28Speaker 3: this in a little perspective here. If I'm listening now,
- 24:32Speaker 3: in those states that you mentioned, right, Florida, Texas, Georgia,
- 24:37Speaker 3: North Carolina, and Arizona, especially Arizona, which is a purple
- 24:40Speaker 3: state to begin with, you don't want these Northerners or
- 24:45Speaker 3: these blue state folks coming in because probably the majority
- 24:51Speaker 3: of them are taking their politics with them, which would
- 24:54Speaker 3: mean if you're a solid red state, you may become purple.
- 24:57Speaker 3: And if you're Arizona, it may just be enough of
- 25:00Speaker 3: a population shift of the voters to turn it into
- 25:05Speaker 3: a blue state.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Yeah, wouldn't that be of a kick in the pants.
- 25:08Speaker 1: The fact that all of these people are leaving Democratic
- 25:10Speaker 1: policies in high taxes and then taking their politics with
- 25:14Speaker 1: them and continuing with that politics, not realizing they're going
- 25:18Speaker 1: to these other states because the Republican states with low
- 25:21Speaker 1: taxes and better quality of life.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Now, so they could ruin it with their publitics. Let
- 25:26Speaker 3: me give you an example. The seventies were the worst time,
- 25:29Speaker 3: absolutely worst time. Remember, our city was on the verge
- 25:33Speaker 3: of bankruptcy in nineteen seventy five. There were buildings that
- 25:38Speaker 3: it burnt out, mostly in the Bronx, some in Brooklyn,
- 25:41Speaker 3: and eight hundred thousand people left New York City alone.
- 25:46Speaker 3: So that was a drop from seven point nine million
- 25:49Speaker 3: to seven point one million, and it was described as
- 25:53Speaker 3: white flight, middle class flight because of urban decay. They
- 25:58Speaker 3: didn't necessarily go to the southern states. Some did, but
- 26:01Speaker 3: many of them settled in states right around. They went
- 26:04Speaker 3: to Connecticut, went to West chest they went up to
- 26:07Speaker 3: the mid Hudson Valley, they went to New Jersey, they
- 26:10Speaker 3: went to Pennsylvania. Now many more of them are just
- 26:13Speaker 3: not even stopping along the way. They're just getting me
- 26:16Speaker 3: south of the Mason Dixon line. You go up into
- 26:19Speaker 3: areas of New York State, whether it's Blakeman looking for
- 26:23Speaker 3: votes or if it's Kathy Hokele hoping to get re elected.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Up near the Appellachians, there are ghost towns, I mean
- 26:30Speaker 3: complete ghost towns where people have packed up regardless of
- 26:35Speaker 3: their political affiliation and they have just fled.
- 26:40Speaker 1: So we've been through this before.
- 26:41Speaker 3: The question is who replaces those that are leaving, Because
- 26:45Speaker 3: if people are taking their wealthare equity, their taxable income base,
- 26:50Speaker 3: the property base with them, if you're replacing it with
- 26:55Speaker 3: people who can't even rub to Nichols together, then you're
- 26:59Speaker 3: going to have to flash your budget drastically.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Now.
- 27:02Speaker 3: We had to do that starting when Ed Koch got elected.
- 27:06Speaker 3: That's what caused me to form the Guardian Angels. He
- 27:09Speaker 3: had a layoff transit cops. There were no transit cops
- 27:12Speaker 3: on the train tonight, which obviously motivated me to start
- 27:16Speaker 3: patrolling with Guardian Angels to fill the void.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Well, let me answer your question for a second, because
- 27:21Speaker 1: you talked about it depends on who's leaving, and we
- 27:24Speaker 1: have numbers for that between two thousand. This is just
- 27:27Speaker 1: out from twenty ten to twenty twenty two. We used
- 27:32Speaker 1: to have in twenty ten, twelve point seven percent of
- 27:35Speaker 1: the people in New York City were millionaires. That's dropped
- 27:39Speaker 1: to eight point seven percent. And lost eleven billion dollars
- 27:44Speaker 1: in tax revenue over that time. That is the largest
- 27:48Speaker 1: drop in millionaires in the country. So yes, it does
- 27:52Speaker 1: depend who's leaving on who's leaving, and millionaires are leaving
- 27:55Speaker 1: because of the taxes.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Well, if you don't adjust, don't expect Trump administration to
- 28:01Speaker 3: come to the rescue because that ain't happen in New Jersey,
- 28:05Speaker 3: New York, Connecticut.
- 28:08Speaker 1: That certainly ain't happening.
- 28:10Speaker 3: But up next, good news for those who believe in
- 28:14Speaker 3: animal welfare, and especially for cat lovers. Remember all cat
- 28:18Speaker 3: lives matter. It used to be you'd kill a cat,
- 28:22Speaker 3: you'd mame a cat, and you could hide behind the
- 28:24Speaker 3: fact that there's a New York state law that says, basically,
- 28:28Speaker 3: animals are property to be done to them whatever you choose.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Maybe there'll be a fine, maybe you'll get a slap
- 28:36Speaker 3: on the risk. Well, there are three cases now, one
- 28:39Speaker 3: that has already been litigated, one that is being heard today,
- 28:45Speaker 3: and another one that'll gross you out. But it proves
- 28:48Speaker 3: that if you're outside of the courts, if you're inside
- 28:52Speaker 3: the court rooms and you're pressuring the judges and das
- 28:56Speaker 3: and the advocates, well you can see animal abuses go
- 29:00Speaker 3: to jail right now.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Oh my god. With the bad.
- 29:04Speaker 3: News of the weather conditions that we went through in
- 29:07Speaker 3: the top of the hour, it seems like it's happening
- 29:09Speaker 3: every other week.

- 30:20Speaker 3: on a home right now, you know there's a troika trifector,
- 30:23Speaker 3: a trinity of cases involving catabuse and cat killings. Now,
- 30:30Speaker 3: it used to be for animal welfare folks like my
- 30:34Speaker 3: wife Nancy, who's dedicated to life to that and so
- 30:37Speaker 3: many others who are mostly women, that they would see
- 30:40Speaker 3: this case after case after case, all animals, but specifically cats,
- 30:46Speaker 3: and the person who would be identified and temporarily arrested
- 30:50Speaker 3: would be given a ticket and told not to do
- 30:53Speaker 3: it again because they would hang on the New York
- 30:57Speaker 3: state law that still exists as an animals are property
- 31:01Speaker 3: a man or a woman's property, and under the law,
- 31:05Speaker 3: you can pretty much do whatever you want to that
- 31:07Speaker 3: animal and you'll be protected naturally. If it goes over
- 31:11Speaker 3: the top, don't even think you're going to spend any
- 31:14Speaker 3: time in jail. It will be a ticketable offense. And
- 31:17Speaker 3: that existed in all sixty two counties in New York State. Well, boy,
- 31:21Speaker 3: times are it changing, and Larry and Natalie. It started
- 31:25Speaker 3: last year in the Bronx. Actually, more than a year ago,
- 31:29Speaker 3: a guy named David Moseley decided that he could get
- 31:32Speaker 3: away with killing cats and went on video and not
- 31:37Speaker 3: only killed a cat, but bragged that he would do
- 31:39Speaker 3: it again and again. And then he was seen roaming
- 31:41Speaker 3: through his neighborhoods looking for feral cats who live outdoors,
- 31:45Speaker 3: and everyone there knew what he was up to. This
- 31:47Speaker 3: guy is clearly emotionally disturbed, but he would brag about it.
- 31:52Speaker 3: He finally gets arrested by Darcel Clark, who is the
- 31:56Speaker 3: DA of the Bronx, and it's an ongoing court case.
- 32:00Speaker 3: It goes on and on and on, and his defense attorney,
- 32:04Speaker 3: Legal Aid, ends up getting frustrated because every time he
- 32:09Speaker 3: had a court appearance outside the animal welfare rights people
- 32:15Speaker 3: protesting with signs, and then they would quietly come into
- 32:19Speaker 3: the courtroom and pack it and he goes and all
- 32:22Speaker 3: of my life as a Legal Aid lawyer, I've represented murderers,
- 32:25Speaker 3: I've represented rapists, I've represented people who did the worst
- 32:29Speaker 3: imaginable things in society. I never saw people turn out
- 32:33Speaker 3: in protest to what they did. Said, the animal welfare
- 32:37Speaker 3: community is just nonstoppable. So what happened is his client,
- 32:41Speaker 3: I'm sure with his advice last week decided I'm not
- 32:45Speaker 3: going to go through this again and again. So he
- 32:47Speaker 3: took a plea of two years David Mosley, which he'll
- 32:51Speaker 3: be spending on Riker's Island for the killing.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Of a cat.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Today, those same animal rights activists are outside the Queen
- 32:59Speaker 3: State Supreme God, you're probably going by Queens Boulevard now.
- 33:02Speaker 3: You could see him at Trick where Burrough Hall is
- 33:04Speaker 3: because another cat killer, a guy named Jalen Gonzalez twenty
- 33:08Speaker 3: three from wood Haven, got into a dispute with his
- 33:12Speaker 3: former girlfriend and in order to retaliate, grabbed her cat kittie,
- 33:16Speaker 3: stretched it, oh jeez, destroyed it, killed it, and had
- 33:22Speaker 3: no remorse. But he's lawyered up. Apparently he's got some money,
- 33:26Speaker 3: so he's lawyered up. And there'll be no match for
- 33:29Speaker 3: the animal welfare activists because they're not only protesting, but
- 33:33Speaker 3: they'll be in the courtroom and they will be relentless
- 33:36Speaker 3: time and time again. And then you saw the headlines.
- 33:39Speaker 3: We hadn't heard about this woman in a long time.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Remember Amy Fisher, the Long Island low leiter. Sure who
- 33:46Speaker 3: hooked up? Well, who was that Joey Butterfuco and then
- 33:50Speaker 3: shot his wife and then became a fixture on the
- 33:54Speaker 3: Howard Stern Show. You know, they've sort of lived off
- 33:56Speaker 3: that for a while. Well, we hadn't heard much about her,
- 33:59Speaker 3: but apparently her son has had some problems. So he
- 34:03Speaker 3: gets arrested for killing a cat, in which a lot
- 34:06Speaker 3: of young guys thought that they could do this, thought
- 34:08Speaker 3: it was fun. You take the cat, you put it
- 34:10Speaker 3: in the microwave, and you kill it. Well, guess what.
- 34:14Speaker 3: He's been arrested and he will now be prosecuted and
- 34:18Speaker 3: could be facing two three four years in jail. So
- 34:21Speaker 3: those days of hiding behind the New York state law
- 34:24Speaker 3: that says any animal is property is over, and it's
- 34:28Speaker 3: going to get more and more intense. So I just
- 34:32Speaker 3: want to applaud all those folks out there will animal
- 34:34Speaker 3: welfare activists who participate, you know, legally, they don't abuse
- 34:39Speaker 3: those who've been accused. They just show up at court
- 34:42Speaker 3: outside and inside, and when the judge looks at them,
- 34:45Speaker 3: because then I used to full court, right and they
- 34:48Speaker 3: see all these ladies there, you know who themselves. Many
- 34:51Speaker 3: of them raise animals, animals who have been neglected, animals,
- 34:55Speaker 3: that they've rescued from the shelter where they would have
- 34:58Speaker 3: been euthanized or killed. It has an overwhelming effect on them.
- 35:02Speaker 3: And actually, from time to time when I can join him,
- 35:05Speaker 3: I'm there, Nancy is there, and boy, this is a
- 35:08Speaker 3: real movement that is spreading across the nation.
- 35:11Speaker 1: That's what I was going to ask you. Is it
- 35:13Speaker 1: just New York or are there other states that have
- 35:15Speaker 1: such strict penalties for those that abuse or kill animals?
- 35:19Speaker 3: Most states believe in animal is property and you can
- 35:22Speaker 3: do to it what you want. But public opinion now
- 35:25Speaker 3: is changing that. Our happy though, and all for the good.
- 35:30Speaker 1: I'm seeing it now Oregon, Maine, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Colorado
- 35:34Speaker 1: and New York. These are the states that have that law.
- 35:37Speaker 1: It seems to be spreading right now. It seems like
- 35:39Speaker 1: it's all democratic states, but it's spreading.
- 35:41Speaker 3: So I want to applaud my wife, Nancy's led me
- 35:44Speaker 3: in that direction and in many other mostly women, who
- 35:47Speaker 3: have really taken this to heart.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Now.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Meantime, the talk back of the Morning and Winter of
- 35:52Speaker 3: the Kurtis Lee when Larry Mente in the Morning T
- 35:54Speaker 3: Shirt taught me a term I never heard before.
