Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Day two Larry without Natalie, our producer who's been here
- 0:04Speaker 1: forever and ever and ever in a day, going back
- 0:07Speaker 1: to the days of the Gamblings. She'll be back on Monday,
- 0:12Speaker 1: as you know, she's had some knee problems. So substituting
- 0:15Speaker 1: today again on loan from Marc Simone is Chris, who's
- 0:20Speaker 1: a young whipping snapper. So obviously you probably don't have
- 0:23Speaker 1: many regrets in your life yet. Chris. Yeah, you haven't
- 0:27Speaker 1: really climbed the ladder yet. But when you get to
- 0:30Speaker 1: be as old as I am seventy two, you think
- 0:32Speaker 1: back from time to time and you say, what is
- 0:35Speaker 1: my biggest regret? Most people, I think Larry, if they
- 0:40Speaker 1: went and did one of those polygrip what do they
- 0:44Speaker 1: call that again? Polymarket? And what's the other one call?
- 0:47Speaker 1: She would probably say probably all of his marriages. You know,
- 0:52Speaker 1: he probably had regrets about some of that. That would
- 0:55Speaker 1: be you, yes, exactly, But that's.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Not my biggest regret at all.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Really, my biggest regret is that I did not learn
- 1:04Speaker 1: Spanish in junior high school when I had that opportunity.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I was entering seventh grade. Bill was se junior high
- 1:10Speaker 1: school CANARSI I was in an sp class. That meant
- 1:15Speaker 1: you were doing pretty good academically, and you had to
- 1:17Speaker 1: check off two boxes because they said you had to
- 1:20Speaker 1: have a second language. You know, it's imperative at that
- 1:23Speaker 1: time we're talking now, oh, the late sixties, and you
- 1:26Speaker 1: had the choice Spanish or French, and the brighter kids
- 1:31Speaker 1: always went for French. So if you were going to
- 1:34Speaker 1: take Spanish, Larry, it was considered beneath you because the
- 1:38Speaker 1: brighter kids that were in your sp class were all
- 1:41Speaker 1: taking French. You know, they were actually watching Charles de
- 1:45Speaker 1: Goal without subtitles in English, giving speeches in France and
- 1:50Speaker 1: translating it. Like I couldn't imagine anything more boring in
- 1:55Speaker 1: the world, but you.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Had to do it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And yesterday it all came to me, Larry. In the hot, sweltering,
- 2:02Speaker 1: humid heat, it felt like it was over one hundred degrees.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I loved it because I love the heat. Nancy has collapsed,
- 2:08Speaker 1: you know, almost had to give a mouth to marvel asassitation.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Like most people, she can deal with the heat. And
- 2:13Speaker 1: a guy comes up to me on the platform on
- 2:16Speaker 1: the number two train where it's like a Schwitz.
- 2:19Speaker 2: He goes, hey, Curtis, I saw you Saturday night.
- 2:22Speaker 1: There you had quite the tussle with those three guys
- 2:25Speaker 1: who pulled the knives. He's an MTA worker, maintenance worker.
- 2:29Speaker 1: And I said, well, what do you mean were you
- 2:32Speaker 1: on that train?
- 2:33Speaker 3: Hey?
- 2:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I was right in that car. Like I'm saying
- 2:35Speaker 2: to myself, oh, you didn't have my.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Back, but I was being polite and he was obviously Hispanic,
- 2:41Speaker 1: and he said to me, you know those two guys,
- 2:43Speaker 1: the two Mexican guys, the construction workers in the corner,
- 2:46Speaker 1: were arguing with the Dominican guy. All they were doing
- 2:48Speaker 1: is Spanish. But I had no idea what the hell
- 2:51Speaker 1: he was saying, so.
- 2:52Speaker 2: I jumped in.
- 2:53Speaker 1: He goes, those two Mexican guys thought that you were
- 2:57Speaker 1: a friend of the Dominican guy and you were coming
- 2:59Speaker 1: to his aid, and they pulled knives on you. You
- 3:02Speaker 1: didn't realize they were gonna stick you. I said, I
- 3:06Speaker 1: had no idea. I was just trying to break up
- 3:08Speaker 1: the fight. Did you see the knives? Yeah, all three
- 3:11Speaker 1: of them had daggers. Well what did you think they
- 3:13Speaker 1: were gonna do with it?
- 3:14Speaker 2: Uh?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Quite Frankly, I thought they saw me with the Red beret.
- 3:18Speaker 1: They knew that I was not involved with the three,
- 3:20Speaker 1: they would probably back off.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Eventually.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I threw them off the train and the Mexican's Mexican's
- 3:25Speaker 1: backpack got thrown over the side, and they dealt with
- 3:28Speaker 1: Dad as I was yelling, lemigre, lemigre, lemigre, and the
- 3:30Speaker 1: Mexicans rank because he probably thought it was Immigration and
- 3:33Speaker 1: Naturalization service.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not, Benny Hannas. When somebody pulls a knife,
- 3:38Speaker 2: they're probably trying gonna stab here.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I didn't see the
- 3:42Speaker 1: two knives from the Mexicans. I did the Dominican. But
- 3:47Speaker 1: it's interesting how he said they thought because they're talking,
- 3:51Speaker 1: you know, back and forth, screaming that you were with
- 3:54Speaker 1: the Dominican guy until you pushed everybody off the train.
- 3:57Speaker 1: They didn't quite figure it out, and then naturally you're screaming, lemigra, lemiga, lemiga.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Figure, let me get the hell out of here. They
- 4:04Speaker 2: probably had no papers. And I said to myself.
- 4:07Speaker 4: A week later, you see, if I had learned Spanish
- 4:11Speaker 4: and Bildersea Junior High school instead of French, which I
- 4:13Speaker 4: couldn't even order from a French menu, now, if my
- 4:16Speaker 4: life depended on it, I would have understood what they
- 4:19Speaker 4: were saying, other than saying to me Marico and bunet chocho,
- 4:22Speaker 4: bunet to all the curse words, the vile curse words. Said,
- 4:26Speaker 4: I pick up because people will yell at me from
- 4:28Speaker 4: time to time and I'll ask Spanish speaking guardian angel
- 4:32Speaker 4: that doesn't sound very good.
- 4:33Speaker 1: They said, you damn write it ain't very good. You
- 4:36Speaker 1: could learn Spanish. Now, you could learn Spanish. You know
- 4:40Speaker 1: who used to talk about that and try to convince me.
- 4:43Speaker 1: He actually sat in the studios of seven ten wor
- 4:46Speaker 1: doing overnights, Barry Farber. He knew about sixteen different languages.
- 4:50Speaker 1: He would teach languages. So, oh, you should learn most
- 4:54Speaker 1: of your guardian angels speak Spanish at that time. He
- 4:56Speaker 1: was correct.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I never did. And let me give you the.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Most recent see if this floats your both. More than
- 5:02Speaker 1: half of Americans think kids should learn Spanish at school.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Half of Americans forty five.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Million people speak it at home, meaning Spanish in the house.
- 5:13Speaker 1: One fifth of the people think that the kids should
- 5:15Speaker 1: be taught Mandarin, which was very cool and very hip,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and a lot of people were doing that before the
- 5:20Speaker 1: lockdown and pandemic. You don't barely see any mainland Chinese
- 5:23Speaker 1: people here anymore, and fourteen percent said it's not important
- 5:27Speaker 1: at all to learn French, which is still teaching public schools.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I think they're absolutely right about the French. My son,
- 5:35Speaker 2: one of my sons in high school, took Chinese, and
- 5:37Speaker 2: I thought that was brilliant. Thought it was brilliant until
- 5:40Speaker 2: I found out did you know this, No, that there
- 5:42Speaker 2: are private schools around the country with the Chinese pay.
- 5:48Speaker 2: The Republic of China pays for that program.
- 5:51Speaker 1: The Red Chinese.
- 5:52Speaker 2: The Red Chinese pay to teach Chinese in private schools
- 5:57Speaker 2: all across the country.
- 5:58Speaker 1: So that when they take over, we'll understand what they're saying.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I guess so.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And then if you go for all four years you
- 6:03Speaker 2: go on a trip to China, tell me that doesn't
- 6:06Speaker 2: sound like some type of the doctrination.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Larry. Before the lockdown and pandemic, when we closed the
- 6:12Speaker 1: door to the Red Chinese, they were the number one
- 6:15Speaker 1: tourist in New York City. You know how you knew
- 6:16Speaker 1: what was them? You know, because tourists somebody's always their
- 6:20Speaker 1: host or their guide, and they fly a flag. They
- 6:23Speaker 1: would always have the Red flag. Number two, the Red
- 6:27Speaker 1: Chinese would always spit in the streets.
- 6:29Speaker 2: That's I knew they were from mainland China. They spit
- 6:32Speaker 2: in the streets because there they do that. They don't
- 6:34Speaker 2: think twice about it. Here.
- 6:36Speaker 1: You know, you see somebody spitting in the street, you said,
- 6:38Speaker 1: oh god, No, you don't see them anymore. And you
- 6:42Speaker 1: know the other group you don't see much of the
- 6:44Speaker 1: used to I mean flooding here were Canadians.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I just don't see many of them. Oh oh yeah,
- 6:49Speaker 2: they're anti American now. Yeah, they stop going down the
- 6:52Speaker 2: Jersey Shore too. I mean the Jersey Shore is packed
- 6:55Speaker 2: with Canadians almost every summer. Many of them stop, some
- 6:58Speaker 2: of them still go, but they go down there and
- 6:59Speaker 2: can down there.
- 7:00Speaker 1: But they're still in Florida. You see those maple leaf flags.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Hey you went to a Catholic school for a while, right, Yeah.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I went Catholic school first, the Christian nuns, Irish Christian
- 7:13Speaker 1: nuns from Saint Matthew's.
- 7:16Speaker 2: They didn't offer Latin.
- 7:19Speaker 1: That was the Brooklyn Prep, the Jesuit High School. I
- 7:21Speaker 1: went to Mandatory Caesars Gallic Wars. I always got the
- 7:25Speaker 1: crib notes. I did lousy in Latin. I hated it. Yeah,
- 7:29Speaker 1: but this, this is the language that will introduce you
- 7:32Speaker 1: to all of the languages. I hated being in Latin class.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Oh that's funny that that's what they told you. I
- 7:38Speaker 2: always thought it was in doctrination. I thought they wanted
- 7:41Speaker 2: you to become a priest. It was like a recruiting
- 7:44Speaker 2: by teaching you Latin so you could then Oh look,
- 7:47Speaker 2: you already speak Latin. Why don't you become a pret seminary.
- 7:50Speaker 1: But remember in our era they did away with the
- 7:53Speaker 1: all Latin Mass. Then all of a sudden it was
- 7:55Speaker 1: the folk mass. You know, during the age of the Hippies,
- 7:58Speaker 1: more of English was introduced into the match.
- 8:01Speaker 2: But before the Hippie era, it.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Was the Latin Mass. You know, it was all Latin.
- 8:07Speaker 1: You never understood what the hell it we're talking about.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You just knew when to do the shine of the Cross,
- 8:11Speaker 1: when to sit, went to kneel. Uh, and if you
- 8:14Speaker 1: were a good boy and had gone and done your confession,
- 8:17Speaker 1: now I can receive communion on Sunday.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I know when to sit and neil because of
- 8:21Speaker 2: those really arrogant people in church that know everything and
- 8:25Speaker 2: you just they they you follow them. You're not following
- 8:27Speaker 2: the priest. You follow the person next to you. If
- 8:29Speaker 2: they know what they're doing, they stand you stand you said,
- 8:31Speaker 2: they said, I will tell you this. You started this
- 8:34Speaker 2: whole thing with a great question, and you're The great
- 8:38Speaker 2: question was what is your biggest regret?
- 8:40Speaker 1: Biggest regret?
- 8:41Speaker 2: And I think I think everybody has one, I mean
- 8:44Speaker 2: and and some of them are deep, and some of
- 8:46Speaker 2: them are frivolous, and some of them are not learning
- 8:49Speaker 2: a language. You know, that's a good one. But I
- 8:51Speaker 2: think that'd be great great talk back question if you're
- 8:54Speaker 2: if you're willing to share, go to the iHeartRadio app
- 8:56Speaker 2: and leave us a talk back. You could win a
- 8:58Speaker 2: Curtis Lee what and Meant You in the Morning T
- 9:01Speaker 2: shirt that's going to be awarded every day every morning.
- 9:04Speaker 2: By the way, when you get that free iHeartRadio app,
- 9:07Speaker 2: go ahead and set a preset for seven to ten
- 9:09Speaker 2: wo R because it will be easy to get to
- 9:12Speaker 2: then all the time. Don't forget though, the best talkback
- 9:15Speaker 2: of the week that's going to happen today takes on
- 9:18Speaker 2: a sea crane radio for the listener who demands better
- 9:21Speaker 2: sea crane radios with legendary reception. And I think, by
- 9:25Speaker 2: the way, for the greatest regret, I'll tell you mine,
- 9:27Speaker 2: because I think being a parent is all about regret.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Half the time, you just regret that you didn't do
- 9:33Speaker 2: this right. You didn't do this right, you didn't do
- 9:34Speaker 2: this right. My two oldest kids, I wish I would
- 9:37Speaker 2: have spent more time with. You know, I was so
- 9:39Speaker 2: involved with my career and moving all around the country
- 9:42Speaker 2: and taking jobs around the country that you know, I'm
- 9:46Speaker 2: making it up with the two youngest. But they noticed that.
- 9:49Speaker 2: My two oldest noticed that and go, oh, you get
- 9:51Speaker 2: to spend time with dad. That's great. I would wish
- 9:53Speaker 2: I had I was able to do that.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Let me tell you my dad was away eight months.
- 9:58Speaker 1: He is a merchancy.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Oh wow.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I welcomed that I had more freedom when he went away,
- 10:04Speaker 1: because when he was home for four straight months, because
- 10:07Speaker 1: they were home four straight months, he didn't tolerate any nonsense.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I couldn't pull anything on him. He said, lo, what
- 10:14Speaker 1: do you think, Come on, Curtis, I'm not going for that.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Your mother might go for that, your sisters might go
- 10:20Speaker 1: for that, your aunts, your uncles. I'm not going for that.
- 10:23Speaker 2: So it was like two different worlds.
- 10:24Speaker 1: For me when Dad was home. Man, I couldn't get
- 10:28Speaker 1: away with anything when he was away, I could get
- 10:32Speaker 1: away with almost everything.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you mean. I was the same
- 10:36Speaker 2: way not except my father was always around. I couldn't
- 10:39Speaker 2: get away with anything all the time. So we'd love
- 10:44Speaker 2: to hear from you. And we're taking talkbacks next. Plus
- 10:46Speaker 2: listen to this and eight foot boa constrictor eighty pounds
- 10:53Speaker 2: was found in New Jersey. Will tell you where and
- 10:56Speaker 2: what happened to that Boa constrictor. Plus a chance to
- 10:59Speaker 2: see Leonard's Skied and Foreigner at a twenty five.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Well, this is so important that there actually have been
- 11:05Speaker 1: congressional hearings on it. You wouldn't know it because obviously
- 11:08Speaker 1: the Faucci hearings dominated. But it was about people American
- 11:13Speaker 1: citizens getting spam calls, spam texts, and then getting bamboozled
- 11:18Speaker 1: out of their money. And wouldn't you love to have
- 11:21Speaker 1: silence again on your phone that you're not constantly having
- 11:24Speaker 1: to look down at those spam texts and those spam calls. Well,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you're probably wondering, how the hell did they get my information?
- 11:33Speaker 1: It's legal data brokers are selling you personal information like
- 11:37Speaker 1: it's on a clearance sale. Your phone number, home address, email,
- 11:40Speaker 1: family members, political affiliations.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Even where you bank.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Those scammers are calling you up or texting you all
- 11:47Speaker 1: the time because they're figuring they do it to a
- 11:50Speaker 1: thousand people, They're going to get some bites, and they
- 11:52Speaker 1: generally do so. They're criminals, and you can stop them
- 11:58Speaker 1: in their tracks by putting a block on those data brokers.
- 12:03Speaker 1: To begin with, who should not be selling your information?
- 12:06Speaker 1: How do you do that the way I've done it
- 12:07Speaker 1: within Cognate. Let me spell it for you, because you
- 12:10Speaker 1: may want to actually share it with friends and relatives
- 12:12Speaker 1: who have been jammed up the same way. I n
- 12:14Speaker 1: ceog and I automatically removes your personal information from hundreds
- 12:19Speaker 1: of data brokers in people's search sites, and Cognate sends
- 12:23Speaker 1: the legal removal request and then they follow up. It's

- 12:28Speaker 1: to remove it. You better remove it now or else. Look,

- 12:48Speaker 2: and Silent Bob movies started with clerks. Do you watch
- 12:52Speaker 2: any of them? Did you hear about any of them?
- 12:53Speaker 1: They?
- 12:54Speaker 2: No, no dig with the kids. But with Silent Bob.
- 12:57Speaker 2: I'm thinking of Chris, because Chris didn't say word yesterday
- 13:01Speaker 2: and now yet in the first segment, you went to
- 13:03Speaker 2: talk to Chris and he made a sound and then
- 13:06Speaker 2: that was grunted, grunted, a little bit of a grug.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Do you want to do you want to say anything
- 13:11Speaker 2: at all? You want to introduce yourself to the people. No,
- 13:13Speaker 2: I think I'm right.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Okay, maybe he's not long he's this shadow.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm in the shadows of the shadow.
- 13:21Speaker 1: No, this is long before your time and even long
- 13:24Speaker 1: before mine, and Larry's the shadow.
- 13:27Speaker 2: No, you want to say something, it's long before my time.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I don't know it's sounding funny, but I look at
- 13:36Speaker 2: you and it looks like you're winding up to say something.
- 13:39Speaker 5: And then sometimes I'm thinking about it, and then I'm like,
- 13:42Speaker 5: nothing I say is going to be worthwhile.
- 13:43Speaker 2: So then I just that's so horrible.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Let's put him in a garden. He's in a garden
- 13:50Speaker 1: in suburban New Jersey, and all of a sudden, he's
- 13:54Speaker 1: staring at a boa constructor.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Have you seen this thing? No, I saw a video
- 14:01Speaker 2: of it, and it is mammoth. It's eight feet long,
- 14:06Speaker 2: it's bright yellow. Uh, and it's got a big lump
- 14:10Speaker 2: in the middle of it because it's digesting. No, not
- 14:17Speaker 2: a child. It was a pretty big possum that he
- 14:22Speaker 2: swallowed hole in the back.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It was like a bunny or a chipmunk.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Now a whole possible. Yeah, see you get him going now.
- 14:33Speaker 2: But so they were happy to see that. Actually, when
- 14:36Speaker 2: animal control, it was in the backyard of somebody's house.
- 14:39Speaker 2: It was a It was an elderly woman that when
- 14:41Speaker 2: I shouldn't say elderly because she might be hearing this.
- 14:43Speaker 2: She was a refined woman. It went outside and she
- 14:48Speaker 2: found she saw a yellow thing. It was underneath all
- 14:53Speaker 2: of the foliage and she saw yellow moving along and
- 14:56Speaker 2: she pulled it back and there was there was this big,
- 14:59Speaker 2: huge constructor. And she did the right thing. She called
- 15:02Speaker 2: immediately the SBCA, who came and got it. They said
- 15:06Speaker 2: that they were thrilled to see that big lump because
- 15:10Speaker 2: obviously somebody let this loose, and so it was probably domesticated.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Its entire life, and they didn't know. Usually they put
- 15:17Speaker 2: them out in the wild and these things die because
- 15:20Speaker 2: they know, they don't know hunting, they don't want to
- 15:22Speaker 2: do all that kind of stuff. So they were thrilled
- 15:24Speaker 2: about that. But now it's in good care with the
- 15:27Speaker 2: Mammouth County SBCA. But they're putting out a warning and
- 15:30Speaker 2: they said, please, if you have an exotic pet and
- 15:33Speaker 2: you don't want it anymore, just call us, call the SBCA.
- 15:38Speaker 2: We'll figure it out. We'll get it a good owner,
- 15:40Speaker 2: we'll get it a good place to live. We have
- 15:42Speaker 2: connections all over. But the worst possible thing you can
- 15:46Speaker 2: do is let these things out in the wild because
- 15:49Speaker 2: they're probably going to die, even just from the weather.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Sometimes you know, they're not used to the weather when
- 15:55Speaker 2: it gets colder. Luckily, it was the summer for a
- 15:57Speaker 2: bowl constructor and it's been raining out, so it was
- 16:00Speaker 2: I'll be thrilled, but that's not the way you should
- 16:03Speaker 2: handle it. I've never found something like this in my life.
- 16:06Speaker 1: A lot of people who collect snakes indoors. It's like
- 16:09Speaker 1: going into an atrium, a hothouse. And Baltimore Guardian Angel
- 16:14Speaker 1: Leader I visited Madis home. It snakes all over the place,
- 16:18Speaker 1: and it felt like it was a hothouse and they
- 16:21Speaker 1: were coming out of the woodwork and I was like, whoa,
- 16:23Speaker 1: what's that snake? Oh? And then he would be playing
- 16:26Speaker 1: with the snakes. There's some people out there. They dig
- 16:29Speaker 1: their snakes.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. Anything to say, Chris, No, I think
- 16:34Speaker 2: I'm good. Let's get some talk about.
- 16:38Speaker 5: You know, for all of us that have had substance
- 16:40Speaker 5: abuse issues, that biggest regret. That's a pretty easy one
- 16:44Speaker 5: as far as it being a broad category. Hard to
- 16:47Speaker 5: nail it down and say this one incident or that
- 16:49Speaker 5: one incident, but all the years we lost to that.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great one. Yeah. My really biggest regret
- 16:57Speaker 2: is never having yet won the secrete radio. Oh you
- 17:04Speaker 2: got it. He's got to be the winnow because he begged.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah. Because also that was a very creative response. You
- 17:12Speaker 2: how many people we've had with responses similar to that
- 17:15Speaker 2: because they or they want a sea crane radio. There
- 17:17Speaker 2: was one guy, remember the one guy used to call
- 17:19Speaker 2: all the time. He'd say something and he'd ended with,
- 17:22Speaker 2: now give me my seacrane radio. Now give me my secret,
- 17:25Speaker 2: because why it's free. Free.
- 17:30Speaker 1: That's the code word of the times for the gen
- 17:32Speaker 1: Z generation politicians know just say it's free.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Well, we'll see if Curtis has any sway over the
- 17:40Speaker 2: academy that selects the caller of the week, because I
- 17:44Speaker 2: haven't had any. So maybe now the Curtis is here.
- 17:46Speaker 2: You know, Curtis has got a big name. Maybe he'll
- 17:48Speaker 2: have some sway and maybe that'll be it. We're gonna
- 17:51Speaker 2: find out. But right now, let's get to the News
- 17:54Speaker 2: at six point thirty with Daria Aubinger Darius.
- 17:56Speaker 6: Morning Guy's sunny and hot with a high of ninety
- 17:58Speaker 6: one degrees. The weather tops the news bottom of the hour.
- 18:02Speaker 6: The heat advisory has been extended through tomorrow. The cooling
- 18:05Speaker 6: centers are open again. President Trump is doing what he
- 18:07Speaker 6: says the Supreme Court would not. He signed two executive
- 18:10Speaker 6: orders to limit birthright citizenship and ban what's known as
- 18:14Speaker 6: birthright tourism.
- 18:15Speaker 7: President Trump says the Fourteenth Amendment applies to children of slaves,
- 18:19Speaker 7: and that notion is long outdated.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Wealthy people are building businesses around birthright citizenship. That's not
- 18:25Speaker 2: that we're supposed to work at a disgrace.
- 18:27Speaker 1: They're buying their way in and we're not going to
- 18:30Speaker 1: let it happen.
- 18:30Speaker 7: The two executive orders aim to ban citizenship to children
- 18:34Speaker 7: born of mothers who entered the US for the sole
- 18:36Speaker 7: purpose of having a child here, as well as foreign
- 18:39Speaker 7: diplomatic staff. Both orders will no doubt be challenged after
- 18:43Speaker 7: the Supreme Court already struck down Trump's attempt to end
- 18:46Speaker 7: automatic birthright citizenship to children of non citizens. Jonathan o'huller
- 18:51Speaker 7: and wor News.

- 19:11Speaker 6: summer vacation yet, what are you waiting for? It turns
- 19:14Speaker 6: out it makes you a better worker.
- 19:16Speaker 8: Psychology Today says taking time off of work improves job
- 19:20Speaker 8: performance when you return. They say the break reduces stress,
- 19:23Speaker 8: restores mental focus, and keeps burnout at bay. At that
- 19:26Speaker 8: renewed clarity last an average of forty three days, but
- 19:29Speaker 8: money dot Com says only about sixty two percent of

- 22:01Speaker 1: my little pretty, We're gonna take you out. It didn't
- 22:03Speaker 1: matter to him. It's him and Fetterman. Now like two
- 22:06Speaker 1: scorpions in a brandy glass. You'll give us an update
- 22:09Speaker 1: coming up. But they're all on their way to Madison,
- 22:12Speaker 1: Wisconsin because on Tuesday is the primaries for various positions
- 22:18Speaker 1: in the state. But all eyes are watching the Democratic
- 22:21Speaker 1: primary for governor because of the emergence of Francesca Hang.
- 22:27Speaker 1: She's thirty seven years old. She's an assembly member since
- 22:31Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, first Asian ever elected in Wisconsin to
- 22:36Speaker 1: the state body. She's from a Korean family. Went to
- 22:40Speaker 1: a University of Wisconsin, but prior to that, she acknowledges
- 22:45Speaker 1: that right before she entered college at eighteen, she was
- 22:49Speaker 1: hospitalized for bipolar problems. She's a lifelong Milwaukee Bucks fan
- 22:54Speaker 1: who actually has a tattoo on her body. She flexes that.
- 22:59Speaker 1: But she we have college to become a dishwasher, a
- 23:02Speaker 1: line cook, and then a Sioux chef. So she's best
- 23:05Speaker 1: known as a chef and a part time bartender. That's
- 23:11Speaker 1: what aoc all? How crazy was we remember? And she
- 23:14Speaker 1: is d Essay through and through, unlike Lsied who is
- 23:17Speaker 1: d Essay but claims he's not. She is a proud
- 23:20Speaker 1: carrier of the banner of DSA Democratic Socialists of America.
- 23:25Speaker 1: And right now the polls indicate that if the election
- 23:28Speaker 1: were held tomorrow, she wins. And one of the things
- 23:31Speaker 1: that she talked about and touted back in twenty twenty,
- 23:36Speaker 1: you know, the lockdown and pandemic, the summer of George Floyd,
- 23:39Speaker 1: how dare Americans celebrate Thanksgiving?
- 23:44Speaker 2: It honors colonialism?
- 23:46Speaker 1: In fact, let's take you back, because there have been
- 23:49Speaker 1: a few updates since then.
- 23:52Speaker 9: My Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for
- 23:58Speaker 9: many people in our community, and so I think there
- 24:01Speaker 9: I wanted to make sure that people understood that there
- 24:04Speaker 9: are multiple views, but views can evolve.
- 24:08Speaker 2: So that was a bit of a word solid yeah,
- 24:11Speaker 2: except that Thanksgiving is painful for many people? Is that real?
- 24:16Speaker 1: Wait? But remember a politician she is. She did a
- 24:20Speaker 1: pivot and shift as just became a main issue, and
- 24:23Speaker 1: she relied on the fact that she was a chef.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Listen to her transformation about Thanksgiving.
- 24:30Speaker 9: Now my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because I have it? Yep,
- 24:41Speaker 9: I don't want to cancel it. I actually love it.
- 24:43Speaker 2: If you have a favorite holiday, yes, do you have that?
- 24:46Speaker 2: Think that long to come up with it? My favorite
- 24:50Speaker 2: holiday is Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving? Come on?
- 24:56Speaker 1: Well that was the setup softball question because it was
- 25:00Speaker 1: it was costing her. A lot of people who are
- 25:03Speaker 1: Democrats were saying, what enough for Thanksgiving? Come on? Is
- 25:07Speaker 1: mom apple pie the flag in Thanksgiving? And then she
- 25:10Speaker 1: went on to extrapolate and talk about yeah, because that's
- 25:13Speaker 1: when I had an opportunity to exploit all of my
- 25:18Speaker 1: culinary skills.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we have that one my favorite
- 25:27Speaker 2: Hold on, let me see if we have it. No,
- 25:30Speaker 2: only have the favorite one like five times.
- 25:33Speaker 1: It's okay, we'll blame that on the producer, Chris, even
- 25:36Speaker 1: though he's probably blameless. That's what producers are for, to
- 25:40Speaker 1: blame them when things don't go right.
- 25:42Speaker 2: That's why he keeps his mouth shut all.
- 25:44Speaker 1: But so, she's done a complete one hundred and eighty
- 25:48Speaker 1: degree turn.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Complete. This is what politicians do. Guess what, Yes, Chris
- 25:54Speaker 2: saved us. He found it. Oh, here it is.
- 25:57Speaker 9: I'm a chef and one of the first meals that
- 25:59Speaker 9: I made that was for the community when I was
- 26:04Speaker 9: sixteen was a Thanksgiving meal. Now, I always think my
- 26:08Speaker 9: hospitality background and owning a restaurant for seven eight years,
- 26:12Speaker 9: that bringing folks around the table to share conversation and
- 26:16Speaker 9: build community is always a good thing.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Wow, that's a bailout. Now.
- 26:21Speaker 1: The one thing that plays for her on that is
- 26:24Speaker 1: she was a very accomplished chef, well known in the
- 26:27Speaker 1: Madison area.
- 26:29Speaker 2: So she says, oh, no, no, no, no, I tell
- 26:31Speaker 2: you say to itself. I got vertigo from her.
- 26:33Speaker 1: But I understand that, L said and Fetterman are going
- 26:37Speaker 1: at it. Fetterman's the only Democrat who will not embrace
- 26:40Speaker 1: L said, as he's done his unification tour, even being
- 26:45Speaker 1: embraced by the Schmataputch, Chuck e Chie, Schumer.
- 26:48Speaker 2: But they're going at it. I mean they're back and forth. Yeah,
- 26:52Speaker 2: they are. L said. At one point said about Fetter Hinton,
- 26:56Speaker 2: he was in a podcast and he says, you know,
- 26:59Speaker 2: he looks like an ogre. He's his ugly ogre, and
- 27:02Speaker 2: we should put him on a piker, which I had
- 27:03Speaker 2: never heard before. We should make sure he loses the
- 27:06Speaker 2: next election. Put up on a piker to scare all
- 27:10Speaker 2: of the other phony Democrats out there. Well, this is
- 27:14Speaker 2: this is what Fetterman said about that on CNN.
- 27:18Speaker 10: The tough guy. He called me ugly and then I
- 27:20Speaker 10: should be on a pike. And I'm like, chief, I
- 27:24Speaker 10: own mirrors. I know I'm an ugly guy, but if
- 27:26Speaker 10: you want to put me on a pike, I mean
- 27:28Speaker 10: he has like a really like a little man syndrome
- 27:31Speaker 10: kind of energy.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Yeah, he's five nine and he says I'm five nine
- 27:36Speaker 2: in shoes, so he's probably five eight five seven. That
- 27:39Speaker 2: that's Lsied. Fetterman is six foot eight. He is the
- 27:43Speaker 2: second tallest person ever to be on the Senate at
- 27:46Speaker 2: six foot eight. He's a big guy. Remember the story
- 27:49Speaker 2: about him when he was the mayor of that little town.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Guardian Angels said, that's how I found out about it.
- 27:55Speaker 2: When he chafed town, he chased a guy down the
- 27:58Speaker 2: street and beat him up and held him for the
- 28:00Speaker 2: cops to come.
- 28:01Speaker 1: To with a double barrel shotgun. That's right, he had
- 28:04Speaker 1: a double barrel shotgun. So I don't think Fetterman is
- 28:08Speaker 1: a guy that you want to mess up. And imagine
- 28:10Speaker 1: all the Democrats have rallied behind Lsie now including Schuma,
- 28:14Speaker 1: who he disparaged. Shuma has jess he has no Kohonies,
- 28:18Speaker 1: he has no way post anymore, he has no dignity,
- 28:21Speaker 1: no character. The only one holding out Fetterman, the Democrat
- 28:25Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Yeah, he is. He is the only one. And it's fascinating.
- 28:29Speaker 2: In Pennsylvania. The poll numbers for him, so the Democrats
- 28:32Speaker 2: don't like him anymore. The Democrat. He's gonna get primary.
- 28:35Speaker 2: There's no question Republicans love him. He has a seventy
- 28:39Speaker 2: three percent approval rating with Republicans. That's higher than the
- 28:42Speaker 2: other Republicans in the state. But he says, I'm staying
- 28:45Speaker 2: a Democrat.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Let's see how long that lasts.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. I mean, if he gets
- 28:51Speaker 2: primaried and it starts to look like he may lose,
- 28:55Speaker 2: watch him switch. He'll either become an independent or he's
- 28:58Speaker 2: going to run as a Republican.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Now up next, you got to explain this to me.
- 29:01Speaker 1: I know is huge in Connecticut and starting to reverberate
- 29:05Speaker 1: across America. These flock cameras. To be honest with you,
- 29:10Speaker 1: I've dealt with red light cameras, speed cameras. I think
- 29:12Speaker 1: everybody has but I don't know about these flock cameras,
- 29:17Speaker 1: so please, you got to enlighten us. But if you're
- 29:20Speaker 1: happen to be in business, and you're out there and
- 29:22Speaker 1: you've seen the hot, sweltering humid heat arrive, and you
- 29:25Speaker 1: know there's going to be downpours. If follow it's been
- 29:28Speaker 1: this way all summer long, it's probably taking a toll
- 29:33Speaker 1: on your business, your edifice, maybe even some of the machinery.
- 29:36Speaker 1: And you wondered if your insurance policies are covering you.
- 29:39Speaker 1: You try to find your broker, he tells, yay, I'm

- 30:37Speaker 2: As Curtis was just saying a moment ago, I'm not
- 30:40Speaker 2: sure why we hadn't heard about this before. Maybe you're
- 30:43Speaker 2: aware of it, but I've heard about it in the
- 30:45Speaker 2: first time because of Connecticut. Thank god for Connecticut. There
- 30:49Speaker 2: is a legislation up there to put a moratorium on
- 30:54Speaker 2: something called flock cameras. Now, flock cameras are prevalent across
- 31:00Speaker 2: the country. There's one hundred and twenty thousand of them.
- 31:03Speaker 2: There's over one thousand in New York and especially in
- 31:06Speaker 2: New York City. There's fifteen hundred in New Jersey, and
- 31:11Speaker 2: there's one thousand in Connecticut. Now, Connecticut is the first
- 31:15Speaker 2: state to call attention to this because what flock does
- 31:19Speaker 2: is they capture photos of passing vehicles, recording the license plate,
- 31:25Speaker 2: the make, the model, and the color and any unique
- 31:28Speaker 2: features like bumper stickers or roof racks on a car.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Then they upload this data into a searchable database that
- 31:38Speaker 2: lasts forever, so for instance, and they use AI. So
- 31:44Speaker 2: if all of a sudden, the police say, we have
- 31:47Speaker 2: this license plate, do you know much about it? Oh? Yeah,
- 31:49Speaker 2: he lives here, he goes here. This is where he
- 31:52Speaker 2: works because he goes there the most. They know everything
- 31:56Speaker 2: about you just from your license plate using AI.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Can your wife enquire as to where your license plate
- 32:04Speaker 1: has been of late if.
- 32:06Speaker 2: She wants to pay for flock? Yeah, you have to
- 32:08Speaker 2: get into that network to be able to give Yeah,
- 32:12Speaker 2: so I guess you get that's another problem. Could you
- 32:15Speaker 2: hack into flock because the information So the argument is
- 32:19Speaker 2: by the ACLU is you wouldn't usually need a warrant
- 32:26Speaker 2: to surveil someone like this. You would usually need a
- 32:29Speaker 2: warrant to get the private information that you can get
- 32:33Speaker 2: just from somebody's license plate. And so, but they're doing
- 32:37Speaker 2: it to everybody. I mean, you you didn't commit a crime,
- 32:40Speaker 2: You're just driving down the street, and they're compiling all
- 32:44Speaker 2: of this information that's available on you just from your
- 32:49Speaker 2: license plate. And so in Connecticut they have started to
- 32:53Speaker 2: fight back against this and they're talking about at least
- 32:57Speaker 2: a moratorium to find out exactly what they should be doing.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Listen to the public, listen to law enforcement, hear what
- 33:07Speaker 3: might be able to be done, and learn what other
- 33:09Speaker 3: states are doing. I just don't want to put a
- 33:11Speaker 3: moratorium in and then say well, now we're just gonna wait.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yeah. That is the head of the Senate up there,
- 33:18Speaker 2: Senator Gordon. Now he is saying he's against the moratorium.
- 33:23Speaker 2: It hasn't been decided yet. This was argued just yesterday.
- 33:27Speaker 2: He's against the moratorium because he said, we need to
- 33:30Speaker 2: find out information. But isn't that one what a moratorium
- 33:33Speaker 2: is for. Don't you have a moratorium to do fact finding?
- 33:36Speaker 1: What? What? What is this pension? This this overwhelming need
- 33:41Speaker 1: to have this information? Now? Why couldn't you wait to
- 33:44Speaker 1: you while it's properly studying exactly? It sounds to me
- 33:47Speaker 1: very orwellian.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Absolutely it is.
- 33:51Speaker 11: We've talked about this issue nationwide, about and how the
- 33:55Speaker 11: number of good things this is the police I've seeing,
- 34:00Speaker 11: person finding missing kids. It's been a game changer for us,
- 34:04Speaker 11: what we've been able to accomplish here.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that, I get that that all these
- 34:09Speaker 2: good things may come from that. I mean you just
- 34:12Speaker 2: mentioned it. The police chief just mentioned it. Missing kids.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Of course that's going to happen.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Uh.
- 34:18Speaker 2: And of course if there's a crime, if there's a burglary,
- 34:21Speaker 2: if there's a if there's a bank robbery, if there's
- 34:23Speaker 2: a murder, and you can get the license plate, you
- 34:26Speaker 2: can find out everything you want to about that person
- 34:30Speaker 2: from that database.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Okay, what do they do with this information? We have
- 34:33Speaker 1: to trust them not to use it for other means.
- 34:36Speaker 1: They just store it.
- 34:37Speaker 2: Now, one of the big issues was who are they
- 34:41Speaker 2: sharing this information with. Are you're sharing it with the
- 34:43Speaker 2: federal government? Are you sharing it with IRS? Are you
- 34:45Speaker 2: sharing it with ICE? And so what the legislation, what
