After WCBS 880 Closed Down, My Commitment to Have One Leg Up on News, Sports and Adaptability; Why Tulsi Endorsed Trump 8-27-24 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex derret.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Well, something very interesting happened on my TikTok. I realized
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: people still love radio only when one of the most
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: beloved stations closed down. Did you hear this?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm Wayne Cavin do before the final time, this is
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: WCBS New York.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And then there was some silence and some utter shock
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and stun that ran through my body that after weeks
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of this conversation happening, where WCBS a eighty would go
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: off the air, it happened. And of course you couldn't
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: pick a better guy, Wayne Cabin to turn off the lights,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: if you will. But what was sad. It was shocking
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: because a lot of us grew up in the radio
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: listening to that station, right, I mean a lot of
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: us were listening to it. But what transpired after that
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: was the fact that this video I put up garnered
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: over thirty nine thousand views, thirty nine thousand views, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: so many people saying this is how I found out
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: WCBS eight eighty was going goodbye. No one said anything, Folks,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: if you're going to be mourning the loss of a
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: radio station, clearly you still love radio. So my point is,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: don't let the critics out there tell us radio is dying.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Listen to the radio more. If you care so much
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: at WCBS eight eight he is gone, then prevent the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: downfall of other radio stations. You know how you do that?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Pick up your transition radio, even listen online or whatever
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: radio you can get and listen to radio. Ratings matter,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Metrics still matter in radio, and as a lifelong New Yorker,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I felt now this absurd responsibility to include one leg
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: up on news as part of my repertoire here on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the podcast, because quite frankly, it seems like only people
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: know things are happening through the digital space. So if
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I have to fell avoid of news that people are
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: gonna all of a sudden miss, then I'll do that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Obviously right now at ADI Sports, they're on ESPN, this, that,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and the other. But as a lifelong New Yorker who's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: met every mayor of my lifetime Dinkin's, Adam's, Giuliani, Deblasio, Bloomberg,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm on the scene and I want
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to fill that news void for you. So if you're
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: listening on this odyssey app and looking for a new
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: home for something that has one leg up, on news, sports, adaptability,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: how even accountability. I'm there. I'm right there, one leg
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: up with Alex grrett Is on Odyssey, and I am
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: thankful for that. I'm saying that people will have to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: lose their jobs, but I'm praying that those radio talent,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: radio behind the scenes folks who put the news on
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: every day find their path very soon after this horrible closure.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Over to the CBSA eighty, I digress to be one
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: leg up on news, you have to talk about it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And maybe I'll get Crane's business to sponsor maybe a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: minute segment every day, because New York City has news.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: They are the best at giving us the news I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: feel like. And then, of course, the landscape, the political
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: landscape that is twenty twenty four. We haven't talked about
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: it much, but President Trump keeps getting endorsements and the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: latest isn't really a surprise. In fact, I wish this
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: person that endorsed President Trump over the week, over the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: week and yesterday really was his VP pick. If I'm
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: quite honest with you, that would have been something else.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But I know Trump will accept her endorsement and take
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a listen to who endorse Donald Trump.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Now, she's a special person.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: She's got great common sense, great spirits.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: She loves her, she loves the people in this room.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard Tausi Place.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you for a good time.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, mister President Aloha.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I know we got Hawaii in the house. Here there
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: we go.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: It is a privilege to be here with all of you,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: my brothers and sisters in uniform, especially.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: On this day of all days.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I had the privilege of joining President Trump this morning
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: at Arlington Cemetery where he joined two gold Star families
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and loved ones of Apps, Sergeant Hoover and Sergeant g
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: both of whom were two of the thirteen killed in
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the Abbey Gate attack three years ago today in Kabble,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: And I can tell you as we were there, as
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: he laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: joining these Marines loved ones, I felt the sorrow that he.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Shared with them in their loss. I felt and.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Saw his sincere appreciation for these servicemen and women who
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: paid the ultimate price and their loved ones who continue
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: to grieve to this day.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: This is personal for me, as I know it is
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: for so many of you here. This is real, It's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: not just words.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I first deployed to Iraq in two thousand and five
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: with the Hawaii Army National Guard as a member of
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Charlie med As those of you who were deployed during
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: that time know, it was the height of the war,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and sadly, we took many casualties, and every day we
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: were confronted with that high human cost of war and
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: that sadness as we boarded the plane when we left,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that we were leaving some of our brothers and sisters behind,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: only to lose others when we.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Got home to suicide.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: So I mean what I say when I share with
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: you that I know that President Trump understands the grave
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: responsibility that a president commander in chief bears for every
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: single one of our lives, whether you're a soldier or
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: an airman, a marine sailor, or a coast He keeps
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: us in his heart in the decisions that he makes.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: We saw this through his first term in the presidency.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: It only didn't start.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Any new wars.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: He took action to de escalate and prevent wars. He
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: exercised the courage that we expect from our commander in
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: chief in exhausting all measures of diplomacy having the courage
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: to meet with adversaries, dictators, allies and partners alike in
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: the pursuit of peace, seeing war as a last resort.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: The truth is, as we.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Head towards our decision as a country in November, the
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: same cannot be said about Kamala Harris. In fact, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: opposite is true, and we're living through this reality today
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: as this administration has us facing multiple wars on multiple
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: fronts and regions around the world, and closer to the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: This is one of the main reasons why I'm committed
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: to doing all that I can to send President Trump
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: back to the White House where he can once again
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: serve us as our commander in chief.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: If Tulsi Garbertt was to somehow endorse Kamala, I would
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: have played her endorsement. Kamala. You know why, because she's
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: a very smart woman. Tulsi Gabbart is one of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: smartest Democrats, and she was a Democrat for over twenty
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: years out there, and that's why she left the party.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Because she's smarter than all of them. And if people
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: are confused or wondering why and how could Tulsi do this.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I want to take you back to something I played,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I thought I played on this podcast in twenty twenty.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Remember the takedown, the absolute takedown of the Democrat debates.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And she was really exiled after this. But she did
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: an incredible job against Samala Harris on a Democratic debate
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: stage in twenty twenty, and I swear I played this
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: for you. Do you remember? Do you remember this moment?
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Miss back to the broken criminal justice system that is
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: disproportionately negatively impacting black and brown people all across this
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: country to day. Senator Harris says she's proud of her
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: But I'm deeply concerned about this record. There are too
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: many examples to cite. But she put over fifteen hundred
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: She blocked evidence.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: from death row until the courts forced her to do so.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: them as cheap labor for the state of California.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: And she fought to keep.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Fail system in place that impacts poor people in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: worst kind of way. Thank you, Congresswoman Harris your response.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: As the elected Attorney General of California, I did the
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: work of significantly reforming the criminal justice system of a
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: state of forty million people, which became a national model
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: for the work that needs to be done. And I
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: am proud of that work. And I am proud of
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: making a decision to not just give fancy speeches or
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: be in a legislative body and give speeches on a floor,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: but actually doing the work of being in the position
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: to use the power that I had to reform a
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: system that is badly in need of reform. That is
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: why we created initiatives that were about re entering former
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: offenders and getting them counsel.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Like the bottom line is, Senator Harris, when you were
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: in a position to make a difference and an impact
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: in these people's lives, you did not. And worse yet,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: in the case of those who were on death row,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: would have freed them.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Until you were forced to do so.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: There is no excuse for that, and the people who
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: suffered under your reign as prosecutor. You owe them an apology.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Our Democratic Party, unfortunately, is not the party that is of,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: by and for the people. It is a party that
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: policy establishment in Washington, represented by Hillary Clinton and others,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: foreign policy by the military industrial complex and other greedy
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: corporate interests. Senator Harris Any response.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Oh sure, I think that it's unfortunate that we have
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: someone on the stage who is attempting to be the
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Democratic nominee for President of the United States who, during
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: the Obama administration spent four years full time on Fox
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: News criticizing President Obama. That's who has spent full time.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: That's what has spent full time criticizing people on this
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: stage as aid with the Democratic Party. When done not
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: even sworn In budied up to Steve Bannon to get
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: a meeting with Donald Trump in the Trump Tower, fails
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: to call a war criminal by what he is as
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: a war criminal, and then spends full time during the
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: course of this campaign again criticizing the Democratic Party.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well, this is the problem with today's Democrats. They can't
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: have that outside democratic voice saying you know, you guys
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: are screwing it all up. No, no, you gotta be lockstep.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And you know it's crazy, as crazy as the summer
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: has been with them. And I predicted that they would
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: use the twenty bith Amendment. Well, alex I didn't actually
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: use it. They threaten to use against Biden, and that's
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: when Biden stepped away. They were going to go and
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: use the twenty fith Amendment. So as much as she's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: trying to say, even in twenty twenty, you know you
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: can't criticize the Democrats. Again't criticize Obama. There was a
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: lot of criticism this year a President Biden, and of
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: course the answer was let's push him out now. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: don't know if the these debates with Tulsi and Kamala
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Harris VP Harris ruined Harris's chance in Iowa because she
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: didn't score anything really in Iowa in twenty twenty. But see,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Tulsi is just her independent self and they don't like
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that in the Democratic Party. That's why she left it,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and that's why the party itself needs to change. You
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: need to be able to have those outside voices saying, hey,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: you know what, we gotta support Israel. You need to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: have those outside voices that aren't the squad or even
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: in the White House. You have to have people allowed
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: to criticize your own party for a party to be successful.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Help did anybody exile and the Republicans, I guess you
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: could say, uh, Paul Ryan was basically a dead lame
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: duck speaker after he wouldn't really go along with Trump's
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: ideas and everything like that. But really and of course
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: last year with McCarthy, yeah, they exiled him too for
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: no reason why because he was being trying to, you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: team up with the Democrats to get something done. That's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: why you ex out Speaker McCarthy. But on the Democratic
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: side also, it seems like they can't always handle criticism.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And you need to have in both parties someone in
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: there who's gonna try and speak sense and common sense,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: or you will not have you will not have a
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: structural party that that's gonna be worth voting for anyway.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: So this is why I totally Gabbard endorsing Trump's not
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a surprise. And and and I'm just getting breaking news
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: that my friend, my radio colleague and happen to be
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the owner of WABC, John Katz Matiez told Barrett Media.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: He had to deal with Odyssey to buy eight eighty,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: which fell through. Man, if eight to eighty let that happen,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that would have been something else so interesting. John Katz
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: is opening up about that, and I just want to
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: give you that low breaking news as well, because seems
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: like on this podcast people didn't even know wcb has
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a closed down. People don't even know Tolsely, Gavin and Dorstrump.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: That's why I told my friend Lolu Tarmanella was on
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the show all the time. I said to him, no
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: matter how many breaking news stories we may not get
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to in a day, just talk about and report him
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: because someone out there may not even know that it's
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: going on. You may not even know before listen to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: this Tulsi Gabbert endorsed Trump. You may not even know
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: w CBS went under and it's no longer on the air.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna try and have that one like up
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: on news, sports, adaptability and whatever else, even culture here
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: and there, whatever else lands on my desk. As I said,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: my podcast desk feels like gets fulled as things passing
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: through it all the time that I may not get to,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: but I will because it matters Yes, A eighty mattered,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Peter Haskell. These moments matter. This endorsement of Trump by
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Toulci Gabbert matters because she is truly separating herself from
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. By doing this, She's truly showing she has
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: her own mind. And I do I do wish she
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: was somehow involved in the administration or dare I say
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Trump's VP that would have been a ticket. That would
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: have been a ticket right there. But I know President
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Trump will probably set up endorsement now. To be fair,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't even cover the DNC, and the DNC take
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: of it was there was a lot of show. There
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: was a lot of high energy, a lot more high
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: energy than the RNC, if I'm honest. But was their
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: substance in Kamala Harrier and VP Harris's acceptance speech. She
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: actually did pretty damn good. I have to give her
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: credit for that. Oh she she wasn't really pressured after
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: that for what she said up there. She said she's
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: gonna be great on border security. When Lester Holt asked
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: her about where why she doesn't go to the border,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: she laughingly said, oh, I've never been to Europe. I mean,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: we need seriousness in the White House, and if she's
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: gonna be the nominee, next week's the debate or actually
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: two weeks from now is a debate. We've got to
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: see substance in there, because she's basically been coronated as
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the president right now. I mean, where is President Biden
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: that he looks so sad leaving even Air Force one
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: right now, and even at the DNC, he just looks lost.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I think he's pretty piste off. They pushed him out,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure that's another reason why I TOLDSI is
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: signing with Trumbia because what she'd thought about the Democrats
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: doing the fighting. Who's gonna we knew who was coming,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: but who's gonna really be okay with that when it
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: comes to November? Will they really trust Kamala Paris to
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: run the country? And I don't think it's any of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the iss to you know, not racist. It's not seconds
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: to say things based on her record, which is what
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: gathered in twenty twenty, which is what people should be doing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: If they're gonna they're gonna latter her as this nominee,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: give her some scrutiny, scrutinize her alsof I like that
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Lester Holt asked her why wasn't she at the border.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Her administration, the the Biden Harris administration, is responsible for
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: what happened in Afghanistan three years ago. Has anybody asked
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: her about her role in that has em When he
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: asked her why she didn't really even show up to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: support Natanyau, just to visit with him one of your
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: biggest allies Israel, and you barely get to see him,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: make an effort to see him, I can't sit right
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: with me. So it was a great speech on Thursday night.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: It was very very humanized. I think there was a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: lot of humanity in that, and I think that's also
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: good to show. But when it came to her talking
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: about the issues at hand, I just I didn't feel
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: she was strong enough at convincing us she would keep
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: our borders safe. But one last note, to be very
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: fair here, there were USA chants at the DNC, and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: that was a great takeaway I had because no matter
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: we can talk about their politics all that to hear
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the crowd say Usa, Usa, USA. I wish the rioters
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: and the protesters would listen to the party that they
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: are now protesting and literally try to break through to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: get to and cause harmat I wish those protesters and
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: writers wouldn't be so angry all the time, but have
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: that USA mentality as well. On that note, I'm Alex

• 22:21
