Hour 1: Message in a bottle · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: So it was pouring this morning.
0:02
Speaker 2: I left my house at about three o'clock, when no
0:05
Speaker 2: human beings should be up.
0:06
Speaker 1: I left about three o'clock.
0:07
Speaker 2: I drove through pouring rain for about twenty minutes and
0:12
Speaker 2: then that's it.
0:13
Speaker 1: Boom nothing.
0:14
Speaker 2: For the rest of my ride in it was clear,
0:16
Speaker 2: but I understand that there's going to be rain throughout
0:20
Speaker 2: the day.
0:20
Speaker 1: Did you get a lot of rain, Natalie, I.
0:22
Speaker 3: Did about two thirty this morning, just pounding rain, massive
0:28
Speaker 3: lightning and thunder and then coming in same time.
0:31
Speaker 4: You know.
0:32
Speaker 3: I left around three forty five, and it was on
0:37
Speaker 3: and off.
0:37
Speaker 1: You'd get a.
0:38
Speaker 3: Clear spot and then you'd get a part. It was
0:41
Speaker 3: just pounding where you'd have to really be careful because
0:44
Speaker 3: the roadways were funny.
0:45
Speaker 5: It was Yes, I was going like forty in the city.
0:48
Speaker 5: Did the same thing, well, I was roaming around more
0:51
Speaker 5: of a spritch. Well, I think we're going to be
0:54
Speaker 5: getting clobbered during the day. But Ray stagic all around weather.
1:00
Speaker 5: It seems to be part of the threesome. Now we
1:03
Speaker 5: start our programs because there's so much extreme weather almost
1:08
Speaker 5: every week way once again primetime for you tell us
1:13
Speaker 5: how bad it's going to be. The rest of the
1:14
Speaker 5: day and where.
1:16
Speaker 6: Well actually in some of the worst of it, since
1:18
Speaker 6: everybody came into the building this morning, right maybe you
1:22
Speaker 6: didn't step outside. It's hammering right now, and even a
1:25
Speaker 6: flash flood warning that covers up the Five Burrows, most
1:30
Speaker 6: of them anyway, Brooklyn and Manhattan's in that Staten Island
1:33
Speaker 6: also even into the Bronx, So some very heavy rain
1:36
Speaker 6: coming in now. The warning means flooding emined orders occurring,
1:39
Speaker 6: so some of those low lying areas we've probably already
1:42
Speaker 6: seen some flooding. It's been about a rainfall rate of
1:45
Speaker 6: one to one and a half inches per hour.
1:48
Speaker 7: Now.
1:48
Speaker 6: The good news is that it is progressive, meaning that
1:51
Speaker 6: it is moving, but still I think over the next
1:54
Speaker 6: couple of hours, some pretty heavy rainfall coming through the
1:57
Speaker 6: city here, even out onto Long Island, Nassau, Suffolk County
2:00
Speaker 6: ue to some heavier rain moving into Levittown as we speak,
2:04
Speaker 6: and then north as you get into White Plains in
2:06
Speaker 6: southwest Connecticut, some heavy rain with flood advisories and a
2:10
Speaker 6: flood watch through this evening at a ridge where to
2:13
Speaker 6: have a storm report that came in in Bergen County,
2:16
Speaker 6: flooding on Route seventeen southbound north of Glen Avenue. And
2:20
Speaker 6: that's not the only area that's flooding. It's just one
2:22
Speaker 6: of the ports we've seen come in. But that's the
2:25
Speaker 6: area where we've seen over the last six hours over
2:28
Speaker 6: two inches of rain North Jersey. As you get into
2:30
Speaker 6: Bergen County and west of that and you get around
2:33
Speaker 6: places like let's see one point eight two in Wayne
2:36
Speaker 6: two and a half inches and another reporting station in Wayne,
2:40
Speaker 6: and these are six hour totals, and some of that
2:43
Speaker 6: heavy rain now is moving into the city. I think
2:45
Speaker 6: at times today, especially late morning into the afternoon, we
2:49
Speaker 6: get a few breaks in the action, but more showers
2:51
Speaker 6: and thunderstorms coming in later today. And with the thunderstorms
2:54
Speaker 6: not saying severe to sixty mile prior winds which would
2:58
Speaker 6: meet the criteria, but may be some gusty winds too
3:01
Speaker 6: what some of these storms coming through. But I think
3:03
Speaker 6: it's really a rain threat, a flood threat first, severe
3:06
Speaker 6: weather with wind likely secondary.
3:08
Speaker 2: Well, we have the ground so wet from the last
3:11
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and now we have another downpour. So
3:14
Speaker 2: when you talk about the winds, any winds can knock
3:17
Speaker 2: down a tree with the soil that week, and that
3:19
Speaker 2: wet is right right, am?
3:21
Speaker 1: I right about that?
3:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got a weekend root system with all the
3:24
Speaker 6: heavy rainfall we've had, so you've got wet first couple
3:28
Speaker 6: of layers of the soil. So with this rain coming
3:31
Speaker 6: through right now, I think in the next hour or two,
3:33
Speaker 6: the heaviest of it could be some gusty winds because
3:37
Speaker 6: looking southwest of US now down into Middlesex County and
3:41
Speaker 6: even Mercer County through parts of Jersey, these storms are
3:45
Speaker 6: heading in our direction. They're not worned on for severe
3:48
Speaker 6: weather and strong winds, but looks like there's some strong
3:51
Speaker 6: forty to fifty mile prior winds down there Roosevelt and
3:54
Speaker 6: Twin Rivers and Clear Book, Clearbook par Park moving northeast.
3:58
Speaker 6: So in the next hour or so or within the hour,
4:01
Speaker 6: not only heavy rain, but there could be a little
4:03
Speaker 6: bit of wind with some of these thunderstorms coming in.
4:06
Speaker 1: So right in the middle of the rush hour you're
4:07
Speaker 1: talking about.
4:08
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, exactly, terrible, terrible timing.
4:11
Speaker 5: Now, race stagic. New York City really avoided getting clobbered
4:15
Speaker 5: last week. It was really Northern New Jersey. Central New
4:18
Speaker 5: Jersey took it right on the chin. But now we're
4:22
Speaker 5: going to catch that flooding. And I got to tell
4:24
Speaker 5: you yesterday when I went for my cup of cool
4:27
Speaker 5: feet in the morning, I had my three foot stick
4:30
Speaker 5: bowl bat and I checked all the catch basins that
4:33
Speaker 5: should easily go down and catch basin. They not because
4:36
Speaker 5: of the garbage that's collected to silt, the flots and
4:39
Speaker 5: the jetsum. So with the amount of inches that you've
4:43
Speaker 5: described that could come down within the course of an hour,
4:47
Speaker 5: I'm telling you the catch basins in the city, the
4:50
Speaker 5: city streets, and more importantly the subways, which are clogged
4:53
Speaker 5: with garbage, I don't think can absorb that kind of
4:58
Speaker 5: water at that rate of flow. I just don't think
5:02
Speaker 5: it's possible. And there's been no attempt to try to
5:04
Speaker 5: extricate those catch basins.
5:07
Speaker 6: All right, And as I said, I guess the silver
5:10
Speaker 6: lining is that it's not like it's gonna sit and
5:12
Speaker 6: train hour after hour after hour. So maybe not the
5:16
Speaker 6: worst of the flooding we've ever seen, but certainly nothing
5:20
Speaker 6: like we saw last week in upstate New York. But
5:23
Speaker 6: over the next as we said hour, so rainfall rates
5:26
Speaker 6: an inch to an inch and a half an hour,
5:27
Speaker 6: so it will come down hard, but it won't come
5:30
Speaker 6: down hard for multiple hours, and I guess that's the
5:32
Speaker 6: good news with it.
5:33
Speaker 2: Hey, Ray, stage are just real quick. For those who
5:35
Speaker 2: haven't left the house just yet. Do you think they
5:38
Speaker 2: should stay home? And can they use you when they
5:41
Speaker 2: call in?
5:42
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, they can do that. I think if you
5:45
Speaker 6: can wait it out, wait an hour or two and
5:47
Speaker 6: the heaviest rain will come through. You know, I think
5:50
Speaker 6: it's manageable. Don't cross water covered roadways, you know, the
5:53
Speaker 6: low lying airs that have some flooding, Stay away from those.
5:56
Speaker 6: But it's high speed wipers, low speed travel and you
5:59
Speaker 6: certainly grab the rain year if you're walking out and
6:01
Speaker 6: about heading down on the subway or something that will
6:03
Speaker 6: be raining. But as I said, I think it's manageable.
6:06
Speaker 6: But there will be some localized floating. As we said,
6:08
Speaker 6: there's a flash flood warning right now covering up most
6:10
Speaker 6: of the five burns.
6:11
Speaker 2: So meteorologists raced age. I told me that I have
6:14
Speaker 2: to wait a couple of hours before I come in.
6:17
Speaker 2: That's what people should say when they.
6:19
Speaker 1: Call them.
6:21
Speaker 6: My phone number.
6:22
Speaker 3: He's writing everybody in note for their their office.
6:25
Speaker 5: Thank you Ray once again, Toronto Tanto on the scene.
6:29
Speaker 5: You know, I was thinking maybe, uh, people want to
6:31
Speaker 5: invest in gondolas in some of these neighborhoods. But I'm
6:35
Speaker 5: thinking now maybe a Noah's ark. I mean, we're gonna
6:39
Speaker 5: we're gonna get hit with this kind of uh they
6:42
Speaker 5: lose your rain for a while. So with the extreme
6:44
Speaker 5: weather Noah's ark. Many, Yeah, you don't have to have
6:47
Speaker 5: the big, big arc that they claim they found up
6:50
Speaker 5: in the mountains of Turkey.
6:51
Speaker 2: But a fact, smily, you're not gonna be able to
6:54
Speaker 2: get two of every animal. What you get two of.
6:56
Speaker 5: Uh not too but you know we'll get the owls.
6:59
Speaker 5: We Nancy and I went to see Flockoh, the great movie.
7:02
Speaker 5: We'll talk about it this week. Great movie about that
7:05
Speaker 5: that out that survived a year in freedom in Central Park.
7:09
Speaker 5: But all the cats, Actually, Nancy will be prejudiced you
7:12
Speaker 5: to get all the cats, but.
7:14
Speaker 1: I won't tell you this. One more weather update.
7:18
Speaker 5: If you've ever been in Smokane, Washington, or quarter layne Idaho,
7:22
Speaker 5: it's the Oh my god, it's on the border. It
7:24
Speaker 5: is such a gorgeous city. It's like you're in the
7:27
Speaker 5: middle of a forest and they have they have a
7:29
Speaker 5: waterfall right in the in their form of Central Park.
7:32
Speaker 5: A better waterfall than Patterson, New Jersey. Has Man, they're
7:36
Speaker 5: getting hit by the fires. Oh, this is an urban area,
7:39
Speaker 5: over six hundred and fifty thousand people. Sixty thousand people
7:43
Speaker 5: have been told to evacuate.
7:46
Speaker 1: Wow.
7:47
Speaker 5: And they're getting clobbered in Washington State and eastern Oregon
7:50
Speaker 5: with these forest fires. So I mean you start looking.
7:53
Speaker 5: Malibu hasn't even been rebuilt. Beautiful Malible. You've seen Mallible.
7:58
Speaker 5: I've seen Malible right.
7:59
Speaker 1: Now on the shore. All those houses were wiped out.
8:03
Speaker 1: They haven't even been rebuilt.
8:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Palisades especially, he had spoken, By the way,
8:08
Speaker 2: six hundred structures, seventeen thousand acres, no containment, zero percent
8:13
Speaker 2: continent at this point.
8:15
Speaker 1: I've never heard that before. Larry is such a beautiful city.
8:18
Speaker 5: I spoke at Gonzaga University, a Jesuit university, and I
8:21
Speaker 5: they have a great NCAA basketball team every year. But
8:25
Speaker 5: oh my god, if you're mad, that's a major city.
8:29
Speaker 5: But let's flip the script to one of the lead
8:32
Speaker 5: stories in the news hour coming in the miracle of
8:36
Speaker 5: all miracles. It's two thirty in the afternoon yesterday. The
8:40
Speaker 5: weather was excellent. Pedestrians are passing on the Brooklyn Bridge.
8:45
Speaker 5: A lot of tourists and a lot of people they
8:48
Speaker 5: just love to walk back and forth from Brooklyn to
8:50
Speaker 5: downtown Manhattan and they look up in the sky. It's
8:54
Speaker 5: not a bird, it's not a plane, it's not Superman.
8:57
Speaker 5: It's a forty four year old naked man who's two
9:01
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy eight feet up on the North Tower.
9:05
Speaker 5: And the emergency service unit that we were praising last week, Larry,
9:09
Speaker 5: when you brought to our attention how they had lured
9:12
Speaker 5: an impaired woman down who wanted to jump. Because they
9:16
Speaker 5: have jumpers there all the time. This guy would not
9:19
Speaker 5: heed their advice. He had a Kazakh flag and he
9:23
Speaker 5: took a piece of his clothing apparel, tried to use
9:27
Speaker 5: it like a parachute, like you would paraglide down. That
9:31
Speaker 5: didn't work too well. He went straight down, hit the
9:34
Speaker 5: East River. You know, that's like hitting a concrete block.
9:38
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with him.
9:39
Speaker 5: Physically, obviously. He went for a psychiatric observation at Bellevue.
9:44
Speaker 1: But he survived that jump.
9:46
Speaker 5: I don't think people realize that's a million to one shot,
9:50
Speaker 5: you know, like they used to have years ago. You
9:52
Speaker 5: go over the Niagara falls in a barrel. Most of
9:55
Speaker 5: those people never survived. This is even more dangerous.
9:58
Speaker 2: I love the New York Po. Just love the New
10:01
Speaker 2: York Post. Their headline is naked nut job jumps from
10:06
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Bridge after erecting flags. Now I envy them because
10:10
Speaker 2: if I ever, in my forty years of doing news
10:14
Speaker 2: all across the country, wrote that headline, they'd say to me, what.
10:19
Speaker 1: Are you crazy? Win a lawsuit? You can't say that.
10:23
Speaker 1: You can't say that, but they can. Their genius at it.
10:27
Speaker 2: I don't know how they escape blowback, but I guess
10:30
Speaker 2: they have the money for that. Now listen, if you
10:33
Speaker 2: want to send us a talk back about the weather today,
10:35
Speaker 2: you know what we're going to be talking about coming up,
10:37
Speaker 2: any of the topics that are on the agenda for today,
10:41
Speaker 2: like Iran and doctor Fauci and anything else you want
10:44
Speaker 2: to talk about or bring us a topic. You go
10:47
Speaker 2: to the talkback app and seven to ten woor dot com.
10:51
Speaker 2: You go to the iHeart Talkback iHeart what do you
10:55
Speaker 2: call it? The iHeart app? Ye got yeah, I got it? Yeah,
10:58
Speaker 2: I finally got it. The iHeartRadio app. You look for
11:02
Speaker 2: six ten WR in the talkback section. There's a red microphone. There,
11:06
Speaker 2: you leave us a talk back and then we play
11:08
Speaker 2: it on the air. Coming up. Wow, a message in
11:12
Speaker 2: a bottle from years ago, and it happened locally. Curtis
11:16
Speaker 2: is going to have all the information when we come
11:18
Speaker 2: right back.
11:20
Speaker 1: You know, Larry Natalie.
11:22
Speaker 5: In the sixties and seventies, when were growing up, when
11:26
Speaker 5: we were growing up baby boomers, oftentimes we'd hear us
11:28
Speaker 5: stories where younger people would write a letter, stick it
11:34
Speaker 5: in a bottle, put the cork in on top, and
11:37
Speaker 5: then toss it into a river or usually an ocean.
11:41
Speaker 5: I know I did it in Kannarsi off the Canarsi Pier.
11:44
Speaker 5: Probably disintegrated in that water. But there's a story. It
11:49
Speaker 5: suggests that when you do that, that bottle could surface
11:54
Speaker 5: any time anywhere with your message. So imagine in nineteen seven,
12:00
Speaker 5: seventy three, a family is vacationing Ocean City, Jersey Shore,
12:05
Speaker 5: and a young lady named Lorie Blair Brown. Besides, she's
12:09
Speaker 5: going to put a message in a bottle and set
12:12
Speaker 5: it adrift. And actually she writes the date on the
12:17
Speaker 5: loose leaf that she wrote on August twentieth, nineteen seventy three,
12:22
Speaker 5: on the second street page Beach, Ocean City, and she writes,
12:27
Speaker 5: as my captors were transporting me to an island off
12:31
Speaker 5: shore in the Atlantic, please notify my family that a
12:35
Speaker 5: band of ruthless sponge fishermen are forcing me to possibly
12:43
Speaker 5: dive for them in shock infested waters, and she leaves
12:47
Speaker 5: a Bernardsville address. Well, they were doing a cleanup of
12:53
Speaker 5: a nearby Marsha area and they found it ten miles
12:59
Speaker 5: away fifty three years later. And it turns out the
13:04
Speaker 5: guy who had found it had something in common common
13:09
Speaker 5: birthday with a person who had actually tossed the bottle
13:13
Speaker 5: with the message, although she's no longer with us.
13:16
Speaker 1: Incredible, it is incredible. It's funny, you know. Right away,
13:19
Speaker 1: I looked at this and I went Second Street Beach.
13:21
Speaker 1: I used to go to the Second Street Beach.
13:23
Speaker 2: We used to go down the Ocean City for the
13:25
Speaker 2: entire summer every year, and I was at this exact
13:28
Speaker 2: same beach in nineteen seventy three. As a matter of fact,
13:32
Speaker 2: I wish I would have seen her. I would have
13:33
Speaker 2: noticed somebody thrown a bottle in the water, But I
13:35
Speaker 2: don't think he can do it while the lifeguards are there.
13:37
Speaker 2: It's probably something you do either late at night or
13:39
Speaker 2: early in the morning.
13:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, to remember the movie.
13:43
Speaker 5: I think it was like in the late nineties Messaging
13:46
Speaker 5: a bottle with Kevin Koshner, Robin Wright, and Paul Newman.
13:50
Speaker 5: He had lost his wife tragically. He felt the way
13:53
Speaker 5: to communicate with her lost soul was to write these
13:57
Speaker 5: long messages, stuff them in the bottle, put the cork
14:01
Speaker 5: in the top, and toss them into the ocean. And
14:04
Speaker 5: Robin Wright found one. She was a reporter, and then
14:07
Speaker 5: followed up on it. But I know there are people
14:10
Speaker 5: out there that do it. Sheman used to do it.
14:12
Speaker 5: My dad would tell me they'd be out at she
14:14
Speaker 5: and they would toss a note in a bottle over
14:17
Speaker 5: when they knew there was a strong current, and sometimes
14:20
Speaker 5: those bottles would be found on different continents.
14:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense when you're at at sea. I
14:25
Speaker 2: would think that if you threw a bottle into the surf,
14:28
Speaker 2: it would just washed back up, wouldn't it. Most of
14:31
Speaker 2: the time it's just going to come right back up
14:32
Speaker 2: on the shore. But this one didn't. I wonder if
14:34
Speaker 2: she went out in the rocks or something, or out
14:36
Speaker 2: on a pier and dropped it out, because it doesn't
14:39
Speaker 2: make any sense that it would appear years later somewhere
14:43
Speaker 2: in the marshes.
14:44
Speaker 1: And the marshes I know.
14:45
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe somebody had picked it up and then
14:47
Speaker 3: tossed it and then it landed there.
14:49
Speaker 1: Who knows.
14:50
Speaker 3: But what got me about this is that she was
14:53
Speaker 3: nine years old at the time. I'd love to find
14:56
Speaker 3: out her story about, you know, how her life was
14:58
Speaker 3: after that, because that this is a very well written
15:02
Speaker 3: note for a nine year old. I mean, first of all,
15:05
Speaker 3: her penmanship was beautiful, the words she was using were
15:08
Speaker 3: pretty advanced for a nine year.
15:10
Speaker 1: Old, I thought.
15:11
Speaker 3: So I was like, wonder if you ever became a
15:12
Speaker 3: writer or I just love to have known what became
15:16
Speaker 3: of her.
15:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a coke bottle, an old coke bottle.
15:19
Speaker 2: You see it. It's actually in pretty good shape. But
15:21
Speaker 2: the note was, you're right, was pristine. It was amazing.
15:25
Speaker 2: Let's get a let's get a talk back.
15:28
Speaker 4: Nobody's talking about the millions and millions and millions of
15:32
Speaker 4: people that were let into this country with not only
15:34
Speaker 4: COVID but all kinds of diseases, lethal diseases. They and
15:42
Speaker 4: they were they were excused from having any kind of
15:47
Speaker 4: vaccines or anything like that.
15:49
Speaker 1: Is that right? I have to look that up.
15:51
Speaker 2: I thought they all had to be vaccinated if they
15:53
Speaker 2: were stopped at the border, if they were stopped.
15:56
Speaker 1: Now, if you got through on your own, you didn't
15:58
Speaker 1: have to be.
15:58
Speaker 5: Actually, uh, there were people they were just easy passed through.
16:03
Speaker 5: Now US we had to get vaccinated or they was
16:06
Speaker 5: all hell to pay. But if you were marching, remember
16:10
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty on the George Floyd Black Lives Matter marches,
16:14
Speaker 5: according to half of the bag Murphy, you didn't have
16:17
Speaker 5: to separate, you didn't have to wear masks, but every
16:20
Speaker 5: other place you had to. Oh it always always made no.
16:25
Speaker 1: Sense, Yeah, it says here they did.
16:26
Speaker 2: The US government implemented programs to offer vaccines to migrants
16:30
Speaker 2: and costody offers an interesting word offer. Offer is an
16:34
Speaker 2: interesting word to use. Means they could say no of
16:38
Speaker 2: course when we couldn't say no of course.
16:41
Speaker 5: Look a look at all the people who didn't take
16:43
Speaker 5: the vaccine, one hundreds of them who lost their jobs,
16:46
Speaker 5: lost everything when they were remember they were the essential workers.
16:50
Speaker 5: We applauded them, remember, because they risked death. And then
16:53
Speaker 5: all of a sudden that I can't or religious and
16:56
Speaker 5: they lost their jobs in New York City. Now, you
16:58
Speaker 5: would think, with Fauci's testimony damning as it was towards
17:02
Speaker 5: his agenda, that somebody would have said, to these people,
17:05
Speaker 5: you're entitled with compensation nothing. No, well you get a
17:09
Speaker 5: stephen Ah Smith apologize and Kyrie Irvy, Kyrie Irvy.
17:13
Speaker 1: Well.
17:13
Speaker 2: I love the fact that doctor Redfield was out this
17:16
Speaker 2: week and then that doctor Burks was out this week,
17:19
Speaker 2: and then they were blasting Fuci. So we'll be playing
17:22
Speaker 2: that a little bit later on, but right now we
17:24
Speaker 2: have to get the news at six point thirty with
17:27

18:10
Speaker 8: and fled with three hundred and forty thousand dollars worth
18:13
Speaker 8: of jewelry, cash and other valuables. Well, we know that
18:16
Speaker 8: Phil Collins has had his health challenges recently. If you've
18:20
Speaker 8: seen him, that's pretty obvious. Well, now, the music legend

19:30
Speaker 2: Well, when doctor Fauci was in front of the committee
19:34
Speaker 2: last week and taking the fifth and it turns out
19:38
Speaker 2: that almost everything he said was wrong, and he was
19:43
Speaker 2: arrogant about it, and he wouldn't listen to other voices.
19:46
Speaker 2: And one of those voices is Robert Redfield. Now he
19:50
Speaker 2: ran the CDC. He is the top virologist in the country,
19:56
Speaker 2: and he couldn't get listened to. He was called a kook,
20:01
Speaker 2: he was called a nut. And everything he said was correct,
20:08
Speaker 2: and they did some interviews with him, but his position
20:12
Speaker 2: was always an outlier. He said early on that this
20:16
Speaker 2: virus came from the Wuhan lab. It had to leak out.
20:19
Speaker 2: He said that very early on, and nobody would listen
20:22
Speaker 2: to him. They marginalized him, they ridiculed him. And then
20:28
Speaker 2: even when doctor Fauci was being grilled and it turned
20:31
Speaker 2: out that everything he said was a lie, all Redfield
20:35
Speaker 2: could say was, well.
20:37
Speaker 7: I'm disappointed. I think he clearly misled conversy, clearly misled
20:43
Speaker 7: the media, and he clearly misled the American public on
20:47
Speaker 7: a number of issues.
20:50
Speaker 2: Yes, especially about the schools. Now, I didn't know this,
20:55
Speaker 2: but doctor Redfield said, listen, you're crazy. We don't have
20:58
Speaker 2: to shut down the schools. Absolutely not.
21:02
Speaker 7: I was a strong proponent that the public health interest
21:05
Speaker 7: of the K through twelve was best served by staying
21:07
Speaker 7: in face to face learning, and I really tried hard
21:11
Speaker 7: to keep the schools open. It was very much against
21:13
Speaker 7: this six foot distancing, which I didn't think there was
21:16
Speaker 7: any scientific evidence for, which if you did six months seeing,
21:20
Speaker 7: the consequence was your close schools.
21:23
Speaker 2: All these voices were there saying to doctor Fauci, you're wrong.
21:28
Speaker 2: People that were experts, people in big positions, some of
21:31
Speaker 2: the leading medical experts in the country, and he shut
21:35
Speaker 2: them down. Not only did he shut them down, he
21:37
Speaker 2: ridiculed them. Now, Curtis always talks about Deborah Burkes.
21:41
Speaker 5: Before we get to sure, if I could just hit
21:43
Speaker 5: on that the schools, So you have Fauci right New
21:46
Speaker 5: York career from Brooklyn hooks up with Randy Winingarten, who
21:51
Speaker 5: used to be head of the UFT, the local union
21:53
Speaker 5: now the American Federation of Teachers. All the remember how
21:57
Speaker 5: they worked together to shut down the schools, pressure to
22:00
Speaker 5: shut down the schools along with Cuomo and Deblasio kids.
22:05
Speaker 5: I have two sons spent all the time playing roadblocks
22:08
Speaker 5: because they couldn't connect, you know, with their virtual supposed
22:13
Speaker 5: the lesson plans that were coming from their teachers were
22:17
Speaker 5: being told, stay home, you'll do your lesson.
22:19
Speaker 1: Kids.
22:20
Speaker 5: They've lost a year or two of education and there
22:23
Speaker 5: was nothing scientific. It was all the union, Randy Weingarten,
22:28
Speaker 5: she was constantly saying close to schools. He kept giving
22:31
Speaker 5: her the green light to keep saying that, and meantime, look, look,
22:36
Speaker 5: no apologies whatsoever.
22:38
Speaker 2: No, No, he took the fifth the entire time. But we're
22:40
Speaker 2: finding out how much he was wrong about, which is incredible.
22:44
Speaker 2: And the other person you talked about, Curtis that also
22:47
Speaker 2: we hadn't heard from, was Deborah Birch you call her
22:49
Speaker 2: the scarf woman. Oh yeah, but she is maybe the
22:53
Speaker 2: tops in the country when it comes to therapeutics and diagnostics.
22:57
Speaker 2: So he had all of these experts that he wouldn't
22:59
Speaker 2: listen to only because they disagreed with him, or disagreed,
23:03
Speaker 2: as you pointed out, with his agenda. And Deborah Burkes agreed.
23:08
Speaker 2: She said, never made any sense to wear a mask.
23:13
Speaker 9: So when you hear about the six feet, when you
23:16
Speaker 9: hear about cloth masks, that's all relevant to droplet theory
23:21
Speaker 9: and cough and spit. It has nothing to do with
23:24
Speaker 9: COVID and aerosolization and asymptomatic spread, and that fallacy susists today.
23:32
Speaker 2: Now, she got to be there because she kept her
23:34
Speaker 2: mouth shut. She would give her recommendations. She was shut
23:39
Speaker 2: down and she would keep her mouth shut. Doctor Redfield
23:42
Speaker 2: wouldn't keep his mouth shut. He went to some outlets
23:45
Speaker 2: and that was it.
23:46
Speaker 1: He lost his job.
23:47
Speaker 5: You know.
23:47
Speaker 2: Now he's teaching as an adjunct professor somewhere. The poor
23:51
Speaker 2: guy was right about everything and they marginalized him.
23:55
Speaker 1: Here's some more from doctor Burks.
23:56
Speaker 9: Instead of quarantine people who are exposed, you just only
23:59
Speaker 9: tell the people who are infected to stay home. That
24:03
Speaker 9: is a very different approach. It worked fabulously in universities.
24:07
Speaker 9: It's why we were able to keep them open, and
24:09
Speaker 9: Secretary DeVos was working and keeping K through twelve open.
24:12
Speaker 9: There were solutions, but it became very political, and we
24:16
Speaker 9: all have to be aware. Because it was a presidential
24:19
Speaker 9: election year, it was really important for bluestays to show
24:23
Speaker 9: that they were taking it very seriously, and they overclosed.
24:27
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Andrew Cuomo. Oh sure, that's
24:31
Speaker 1: a blue state.
24:32
Speaker 5: Andrew Cuomo thought he was on his way to sixteen
24:34
Speaker 5: hundred Pennsylvania Avenue because he was doing those daily updates.
24:38
Speaker 5: Remember at twelve noon that oftentimes was seen nationally the
24:43
Speaker 5: Como National Network CNN, joined by Fauci, joined by other
24:49
Speaker 5: experts who said, close the school's mask up, keep six
24:53
Speaker 5: feet away. It was all nonsensical. And if you disagreed,
24:56
Speaker 5: as you said, Larry, you you were banned from social
24:59
Speaker 5: netw working, banned by Facebook, you were ostracized. I remember
25:04
Speaker 5: walking through Central Park, Central Park, right, I didn't have
25:07
Speaker 5: a mask on. Women were running up to me. You
25:10
Speaker 5: gotta kill people. Put a mask on, you gotta kill people.
25:14
Speaker 5: That's how brain washed they were by doctor Fauci, but
25:18
Speaker 5: it proved not to be true at all, and a
25:21
Speaker 5: lot of people suffered as a result. The ones, though,
25:24
Speaker 5: that I feel, have never been compensated, are those essential workers.
25:28
Speaker 5: The most who died were actually those who had to
25:31
Speaker 5: go into the subways, you know, the motormen, the conductors
25:34
Speaker 5: worked the subways, in the buses. But how they were
25:38
Speaker 5: treated later on when either they couldn't take a vaccine
25:42
Speaker 5: or wouldn't, and then the elected officials just basically said,
25:45
Speaker 5: tough donkeys, you'll fired, and wanted to make an example
25:48
Speaker 5: of them.
25:48
Speaker 2: You imagine watching doctor Fauci and having a love one
25:52
Speaker 2: die in a nursing home, not being able to go
25:55
Speaker 2: see them. You might imagine listening to doctor Fauci and
25:58
Speaker 2: have a child who's behind in school because they lost
26:01
Speaker 2: all that time, and then to find out that there
26:04
Speaker 2: were other important voices there saying to him, this isn't
26:08
Speaker 2: the way you handle it. I've handled millions of cases
26:11
Speaker 2: like this, this is not what you should be doing.
26:13
Speaker 2: And he marginalized them purely for political reasons. It was
26:17
Speaker 2: in his diary, him putting down Trump all the time,
26:21
Speaker 2: him talking about Cuomo as being a god.
26:26
Speaker 1: But they almost omnipotent.
26:28
Speaker 5: You couldn't challenge you know, it'll be interesting now we
26:31
Speaker 5: haven't heard from Culomo. He hasn't said anything. Well half
26:34
Speaker 5: in the bag, Murphy or even Newsome on this. They
26:36
Speaker 5: were the ones that took Fauci's advice without ever challenging it. Well,
26:41
Speaker 5: they now blamed Fauci. Hey, I was just doing what
26:44
Speaker 5: the good doctor told us to do.
26:46
Speaker 2: How was I to know? I'm not a doctor? Watch
26:48
Speaker 2: watch that spin. That's not a bad excuse. But you
26:51
Speaker 2: know they're still spouting all of the nonsense. I don't
26:56
Speaker 2: know if you saw RFK Junior on CNN yesterday. He
26:59
Speaker 2: was on with Dana Bash and Dana Bash was spouting
27:02
Speaker 2: out all the old stuff, just saying, you know, no,
27:05
Speaker 2: you've been wrong. No, no, no. She was saying to
27:07
Speaker 2: RFK like it was a debate, No, you've been wrong,
27:10
Speaker 2: and he called her a parrot at one time.
27:12
Speaker 1: You're a parrot.
27:13
Speaker 2: All you do is tell you is say what the
27:15
Speaker 2: government tells you to say. They've been wrong time and
27:18
Speaker 2: time again. And it got heated again.
27:20
Speaker 9: I really want to move on.
27:22
Speaker 1: But yeah, you were saying, yes, I took part of
27:25
Speaker 1: the problem.
27:26
Speaker 5: No, I wasn't sing it was absolute press malpractice.
27:31
Speaker 9: Were allowing your secretary your job, your job.
27:34
Speaker 6: Is a fear as skepticism authority, and you weren't doing that.
27:39
Speaker 9: You my job is.
27:42
Speaker 7: No.
27:42
Speaker 2: They were eating it up and they were spitting it out,
27:45
Speaker 2: and they took everything Fauci said. So as mad as
27:47
Speaker 2: you are at Anthony Fauci, you should be mad at
27:50
Speaker 2: CNN and everybody in the media who never questioned anything,
27:55
Speaker 2: even though there were other voices out there, and they
27:59
Speaker 2: just went along with this. So the reason your kids
28:01
Speaker 2: were in schools, the reason that weren't in schools, the
28:03
Speaker 2: reason that everybody was wearing masks, the reason you couldn't
28:07
Speaker 2: visit anybody or go out of your house, the reason
28:09
Speaker 2: that maybe your grandmother died in the nursing home alone
28:13
Speaker 2: was because of the media too, not just doctor Fauci.
28:17
Speaker 2: They can't plead innocence on this.
28:20
Speaker 1: Well up next, bah Fo Box Office actually superseded expectations
28:27
Speaker 1: for Spider Man his return. Remember he was globe trotting
28:30
Speaker 1: for five years and I was in Forest Hills late
28:35
Speaker 1: last night to welcome him to Ingram Street where Peter
28:38
Speaker 1: Parker actually grew up aka Spider Man. But for you
28:43
Speaker 1: right now, you heard the opening at six more inclement weather,
28:47
Speaker 1: flash flooding. You've got all kinds of businesses. You don't
28:51
Speaker 1: know how many policies you have.
28:53
Speaker 5: You asked, you asked some of those who work for you,
28:56
Speaker 5: would you check out policies and that floor shine shoe
28:59
Speaker 5: box because we're getting killed here and you probably are.
29:03
Speaker 5: And then you reach out to your broker and they're
29:05
Speaker 5: out of sight, out of mind, and they only show
29:07
Speaker 5: up when it's time to renew.
29:09

Speaker 2: I know you can't go one weeknd, but theater and
30:02
Speaker 2: movie theater owners have to be thrilled because at least
30:05
Speaker 2: it seems like movies may be back people made. Well,
30:10
Speaker 2: movies have always been around, even you know you watch
30:13
Speaker 2: them online now, but look now people are going to
30:16
Speaker 2: the theaters. It was the second biggest opening weekend in history.
30:24
Speaker 2: Spider Man Brand New Day took in nine hundred and
30:29
Speaker 2: twenty seven million dollars worldwide three hundred and fifty five
30:35
Speaker 2: million dollars domestically, finishing second in both domestic and global
30:41
Speaker 2: to the one of the Marvel movies, the what was
30:47
Speaker 2: it called now, The Avengers The Endgame? That was it?
30:51
Speaker 2: The Avengers The Endgame? That was the biggest one ever.
30:54
Speaker 2: Now Spider Man Brand New Day is second, and if
30:59
Speaker 2: you put Odyssey together with Spider Man, it was the
31:04
Speaker 2: biggest weekend ever at the box office, making well over
31:10
Speaker 2: one billion dollars, making almost one point five billion dollars worldwide.
31:16
Speaker 1: So theater owners have to be thrilled that finally, finally,
31:22
Speaker 1: after all this time, after saying that theaters are dying,
31:25
Speaker 1: after saying nobody's going there anymore, is a big comeback.
31:29
Speaker 5: Well, I'm ashamed of both of you. You're generally moviegoers extraordinary.
31:33
Speaker 5: I'm not I fulfilled my assignment. I went with Nancy
31:37
Speaker 5: down to the West Village to see the documentary about Flocko.
31:41
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it later on in the week. But
31:44
Speaker 1: none of you fulfilled your responsibilities of going either to
31:48
Speaker 1: the Odyssey or to to spiperder Man. But it was
31:55
Speaker 1: nice out Hurtis. I went to the beach.
31:58
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, there's only so many. I mean, look at
32:01
Speaker 3: it side today. I'm taking every day that's nice and
32:04
Speaker 3: being outside. I'll get to the movies.
32:07
Speaker 1: Oh my.
32:07
Speaker 5: And then Joe Nomay is he hiding? He gave it
32:10
Speaker 5: three stars? You geeked them to give it three and
32:12
Speaker 5: a half. He was like a real curmudgeon. So I
32:16
Speaker 5: used I used my youngest son. I went into Can
32:18
Speaker 5: I get my excuse? To the honesty? It was sold
32:21
Speaker 5: out again.
32:23
Speaker 1: It was sold out only in the seventy milimeter.
32:25
Speaker 5: That's what I'm.
32:25
Speaker 1: Gonna watch it.
32:26
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna spend three hours watching a movie, I'm
32:28
Speaker 2: gonna watch it in the Imax seventy milimeter.
32:32
Speaker 5: Excuse me, mystery leaders. That has to be the best
32:35
Speaker 5: form of the showing, right in three hours?
32:38
Speaker 2: What am I gonna go do it? Watch in a
32:40
Speaker 2: regular movie theater. No, that's the way everybody's watching it.
32:43
Speaker 2: That's why it's sold out from eight in the morning
32:46
Speaker 2: until the next day of two.
32:48
Speaker 5: Get to a bootleg copy so you could watch it
32:50
Speaker 5: from the comfort of your home.
32:52
Speaker 8: No millimeter.
32:54
Speaker 5: Oh, well, you're never You're never gonna give us a
32:57
Speaker 5: reveal at this way.
32:58
Speaker 1: You're never gonna be able to get a seat.
33:00
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I'm going to do it early
33:02
Speaker 2: this week. I waited until Friday, so I'm going to
33:05
Speaker 2: try Monday to get it for the following week so
33:07
Speaker 2: I can go next week.
33:09
Speaker 5: So I thought that my kid, my youngest kid, Hunter
33:11
Speaker 5: would be all excited in Forest sales. You know, he's
33:14
Speaker 5: been gone for five years. Remember, I think that's part
33:17
Speaker 5: of the lure too. It had to be a good movie.
33:19
Speaker 5: The buzzword was was good, but there hadn't been a
33:22
Speaker 5: Spider Man movie in five years. He was on hiatus,
33:25
Speaker 5: you know, he was globe trotting. Well, now he's come
33:27
Speaker 5: back to New York. And remember, the whole story by
33:31
Speaker 5: stan Lee was that he grew up as Peter Parker
33:34
Speaker 5: on Ingram Street in Forest Hills by the Gardens, and
33:40
Speaker 5: that all of his explore exploits actually evolved from there,
33:44
Speaker 5: and then it went on to other things. So I
33:46
Speaker 5: went to Ingram Street last night because I knew that
33:50
Speaker 5: young kids would be out there looking for that house
33:53
Speaker 5: and looking for Spider Man. And even though my youngest
33:56
Speaker 5: son wasn't interested, all of his friends were, and a
34:00
Speaker 5: predominant number of kids that I ran into. This is late,
34:03
Speaker 5: this is about ten o'clock at night. Like Asian kids,
34:06
Speaker 5: you know, they're on their bicycles, they're looking around, they
34:09
Speaker 5: have the Spider Man guarb below their neck, they're not
34:12
Speaker 5: wearing the mask, and they're looking around and somewhat stop
34:15
Speaker 5: me and say, hey, man, where's the house that Spider
34:18
Speaker 5: Man grew up in Peter Parker. I said, I don't
34:22
Speaker 5: want you to go bother those people. I'm not gonna
34:24
Speaker 5: give you the address. I know the whole story, but
34:27
Speaker 5: there was this insatiable desire to consume everything about Spider Man.
34:33
Speaker 5: I think that's what led to all the hype. The
34:36
Speaker 5: box office, incredible summer money, and more importantly, the rave
34:41
Speaker 5: reviews in advance. Even Johnny O, the curmudgeon of all
34:44
Speaker 5: curmudgeons in The New York Post said, oh, it's just
34:47
Speaker 5: an outstanding movie.
34:49
Speaker 1: You know, right then and there, this had a lot
34:50
Speaker 1: of prospects. I know what was going on with Joe Numeier.
34:55
Speaker 1: What is he said? The thing with the villain?
34:57
Speaker 8: I don't know.
34:58
Speaker 1: It wasn't good enough.
34:59
Speaker 3: Little dark, he said, darker than he was.
35:01
Speaker 2: He's so far the outlier. If you look at the reviews,
35:04
Speaker 2: like ninety percent are positive.
35:06
Speaker 3: Yo said, he knew it was gonna make a ton
35:09
Speaker 3: of money. I mean, he knew it. It just wasn't
35:11
Speaker 3: his favorite.
35:12
Speaker 5: He's a curmudgeon. Okay, he didn't want to go with
35:15
Speaker 5: the flow. But now, which one of you are gonna
35:19
Speaker 5: finally fulfill your homework and see at least Spider Man?
35:23
Speaker 1: Look at this.
35:24
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go next weekend. I'm gonna go Saturday morning
35:27
Speaker 2: at eight o'clock in the morning. I'm gonna get tickets.
35:29
Speaker 1: Somehow I will not be so wow, just gonna tie
35:34
Speaker 1: right out. I might have to be the one that
35:36
Speaker 1: goes to see Spider Man.
35:38
Speaker 5: You might have to Floco about the documentary about the
35:41
Speaker 5: Owl and now Spider Man. You are neglecting your responsibilities, Natalie.

Speaker 5: You're a movie reviewer. You've gone movies on a regular
35:49

36:07
Speaker 5: going to tell you the address. No, no, no, you'll

Speaker 5: probably bother the people in their home.
36:12
Speaker 1: Well, when we come back. Are we close to a
