• 0:06
  Speaker 1: her remotely, but she seems like she's doing great. She's smiling.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'll let her talk. She can tell you how she's doing. Natalie,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I'm doing awesome, guys. First of all, I loved getting
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: up this morning. It was nice to not have to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: sleep in because I don't really like that so much.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But no, honestly, had my procedure done on Tuesday, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I am now up to be able to do a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: stationary bike for five minutes today apparently.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and no pain right now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I have had no pain. Stiffness and achey, but
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: no pain whatsoever. I took the bandages off yesterday. My
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: knee is a little swollen, but nothing terrible. And I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: saw the mark that they put on my legs and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: make sure they did the right leg and the right knee.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? What do you mean the right knee?
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: You mean to tell me if they had put a
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: lipstick mark on the other knee, the surgeon may have
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: actually gone in there with his assistance.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The surgeon said, what k nee are we doing? I'm
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: like the left knee and he took and he put
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: his initials with a sharpie marker.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I thought of you, Curtis, because I know you love
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: your sharp bie. Oh I do you think about that?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: These doctors are probably going from room to room to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: room to the room and then just saying, Okay, what
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: are we doing exactly here? What do I have to do?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you what.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: All the people, Natalie, that I've known that have had
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: procedures involving their knees, you know, thank God, with the
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: problems I've had, it's never been the knees. You saw
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: me torking on that. iHeart, yeah, yeah, okay, Pride never
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: had the knee problems. They were gonna be people flooding
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: it with request. Who are the doctors?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: My god?
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Because normally people not only are they stiff, but they
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: have intense pain for a while before they can sort
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: of get back into somewhat of a natural stride.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Right now, this was not a knee replacement. I had
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a as they called it, a large and complex tear
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of my meniscus. Don't ask me how I did it,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: because I'm not a runner, so I don't really know
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: how I did that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: But I did.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And so a big difference. You know, knee replacement is
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a totally different thing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: No, same day, you seem fine. I mean that was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what was amazing. I mean, I know you have to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: go through rehab to get the stiffness to go away,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: but there was almost no pain right away, right Did
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you heard the first day?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: No, I never took the heavy drugs. I just did
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the advalentile and all for about twenty four hours and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: then I stopped that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Anything time out. Do you have some heavy drugs?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, Chris just perked up. Did you see that?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Did you say perkose that there? Did you say percose?
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Perked up?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: You know that is an acronym for a percocet. Hey,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: can you perk me up? Oh?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Really, No, I didn't. Oh he knew look.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: At this, of course he knew the gen z.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: But this is the quiet storm Chris, who has been
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: on loan to us from Mark Shimone and now we
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: have the benefit of I'm not going to reveal your age, Natalie,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: but you've been here almost as long as they have
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: been morning shows, going back to Granddaddy Gambling.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Come on here, it is you've been sounds like she's ninety.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: No, she's you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I've been aware of your presence as a producer here
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: almost as long as I mean talk radio, which is
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: thirty five years.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So you're you're a life for it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: No wonder why you find it difficult because you're so
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: used to getting up in the morning for like most
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: of your life.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I know, I know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Can we pause for a second because Chris put the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: mic in front of his mouth, and usually, like the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: angels sing, now Heaven's open, he's going to speak.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: God.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I just you guys are talking about it. I wasn't
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: sure if you needed me to chime in at all,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: so I was. I was getting ready just in case.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: You know, it's always disappointing, even if even though Natalie
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: obviously had goal through this procedure, we've benefited Larry because
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: at least temporarily, we're.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: The only show in all of radio that has two
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: producers available to us during the length of our program.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I've never had that in thirty five years. You talk
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: radio usually one producer and that's it. Well, Chris is
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: always working on the show every day.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just thinking I'm in the background, I'm in
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: the shadows, Chris Schweizer, This is Curtis.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: And you've earned that name quite so.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: And let me announce to all of our many listeners
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: out there that with everything going on in the news,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: we're going to get to it later on Mangoni. You know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: the uses the aircraft carrier, with the problems that have
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: been taking place for the crew is there was a piece,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: the best piece I've ever read in a radio periodical,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: and there have been many over the years, some of
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: them no longer exist, Larry, there used to be quite
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: a few. But the bible of our business, this thing
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: of ours in all of radio, TV and all of broadcasting,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: is Barrett Media. And yesterday I looked in my box
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: and Tom Cuddy, our great program director, sent this piece
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: and I read it and I said, oh my god,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: this is such a magnificent piece about your life and
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: time Larry, as a broadcaster, and how you segued from
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: being a leading anchor in the nation to eventually hosting
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: talk radio here at seven to ten WR no easy feat.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Many have tried. Many have just they haven't been able
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: to make that transition. And I recommend everybody, Natalie, were
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: we able to post that it all for everybody to
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: take a look at.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm going to put that up on Facebook
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: right now and then I'll get it up on Instagram.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Amazing, and I explain because you had a long conversation
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: with I guess the young lady who wrote the piece
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: for Barrett Media.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I have been really fortunate, really really lucky that I've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: been able to do just about everything. If you check
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: all of the broadcasting boxes. I have been a sports anchor.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I have been a weather man, although a lot of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: people don't think that counts because I did it in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: San Diego. I have been an anchor. I've been a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: national news anchor. I've been a local news anchor. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: started it. I was an entertainment host at Access Hollywood,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so just about. I've been an investigative reporter. I've been
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a documentarian and in the background almost always. I've done
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: some radio I mean either I've been invited to shows,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and I was a regular on some shows, like in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: sports radio WIP in Philadelphia. I was on there all
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the time. You BBM in Chicago, he was on there
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: all the time as a guest. That have me on
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: every single week. And then it when I started doing
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the commentary is at WPIX channel eleven. Yeah, channel eleven,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and they also aired at thirty stations across the country
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and all the big markets, and we did them every
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: single day. And that's when when WABC called me and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we worked together there, yeah, a couple of times, a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: couple of times at WABC. And then Tom Cutty. Wow,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I mean listen, I did you know. I get a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: phone call from Tom Cutty saying listen, I heard you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: on the air, you know, come on over here, And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of course I jumped at it. I mean get Getting
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the chance to work with Tom Cutty is a big deal.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Even the person that wrote the article for Barrett said
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'd love to meet him. I would, I would love
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to work with him someday. So I think that there's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: people around the country that if they have the opportunity
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to work with Tom, are always going to take it
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: because you know, you're going to learn so much.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Oh the best in the business. Both went and came
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: to music and FM and talk here on AM seven
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: to ten.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: WR. The part that I feel people really need to.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Look at is how you so described our relationship and
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: agreeing to disagree at times but then other times agreeing
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: and then having a civil discussion. So even if we
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: get combative, which is gonna happen from time to time,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: we take the gloves off because then you're not gonna
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: sense it in the next segment, because we here it
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: to provide news, information and entertainment to the many listeners,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: not to have an ongoing, you know, wrestling match like
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: it's the WWF like some stations have had over the years.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: And I got to tell you, Larry, that's exactly why
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Tom Cutty put us together. He said we were better together,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: and he's absolutely right.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he calls us the odd couple, which is really interesting.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That's what makes it more interesting. But as I said
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in the article, neither of us we know what the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: line is, and neither of us has ever crossed the line.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's never been personal, ever been personal. It is always
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: about content and people in relationships and families, they have
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: disagreements about politics or certain events, and so we have them.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And we are just a replica of America. That's exactly
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: what's happening across America. But we, I hope, are a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: shining example of how you can have a discussion and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: still be friends.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you don't really see that on television any longer.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: You don't see that in podcasts. You don't see that
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: obviously on traditional talk radio. And just as an example,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: I listen to a lot of talk radio, a lot
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: of podcasts whenever I can. I don't hear people talking
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: about AI artificial intelligence the way we have from every aspect,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: especially the flock cameras. You brought that to our attention.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: You know what was happening in Connecticut and across the nation.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Most of the rest of talk radio, you can pretty
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: much figure out what they're going to talk about. We
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: all have a different way of presenting, but nobody goes
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: into a lot of the subject matters that we do
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: that are of interest to everybody, Like the flock cameras.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Everyone it's what's united left and right AI, it's united
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: left and right, dependent on your opinion.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Let me just thank Tom Cutty for one
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: last thing. Tom Cutty and when I told him about
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the Barrett Media article, he looked at me and he said,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: did you mention your wife in the article? And I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I said, no, there you go.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: You'd better fix that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So I wrote to her immediately and I said, I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: don't think I mentioned my wife can you put.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Her in somewhere you get you go.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I've already filed it, but I know how important that is.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Let me see what I can do.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: She's in the business. Smart Tom cuddyline.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: He saved me.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: But because I have such a big mouth, I told
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: my wife the whole story. So she thanks you too, Tom,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I cannot more highly recommend a piece.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And I've read a lot in my lifetime. They've been
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: at one point there are like four major journals. They're
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: focused on the kind of radio that we do, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they've been whittled down. And Barrett Media is the bible
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in broadcasting. Everybody goes to it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: And I've never read a more thorough comprehensive piece that
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: actually puts it all together, connects all the dots about
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: this thing that we so love and we do each
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: and every day. Congratulations, Congratulations Larry.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Well you should talk about this. What's coming up next?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Was this is really your list?
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Remember we had Natalie MAGLORI go down and sample people
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: on New Jersey being the second best place to live
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: in America and I get out of here oo far.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Now another survey, New York City is the third best location.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: To go to in the world, and I'm saying, oh
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: far to that too.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Wait do you hear what is number one? And number two?
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Also a chance to see John Fogidi and Stevie Winwood
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: at a twenty five.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Now let me tell you about Life Back. You've heard
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: me talk about this a lot because I believe so
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: much in the product, because I'm somebody, as we just
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: talked about, it's been a career reporting the news. I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: know how quickly an ordinary moment can turn into an emergency.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: One of the most common emergencies in the country that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: can result in death is choking. It's one of those
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: moments that can happen to anyone anytime they put something
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: in their mouth, a child, a parent, a grandparent. When
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it does, seconds matter, And that's why I have been
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: an advocate of LIFEBAC. LIFEVAC is the first and only
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: FDA authorized suction anti choking device to be used for
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: second line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: without success. And here's what's remarkable. Life Back has helped
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: save over six thousand lives worldwide. Just this week, they
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: saved the life. That's just that's more than a number right.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: These are real people we're talking about. These are families
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that are saved from a lifetime of heartache. Preparedness matters.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Having the right tool nearby can make all the difference
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in the world. So you really need to learn more
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: about life BAC today. Go to lifevac dot net. That's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: lifevac dot net. Visit lifefac dot net and see how
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you can be ready when it counts. Next chan, Hey Curtis,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: before we get to your list, I want to thank
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you so much for bringing up the article in Barrett
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Media and the kind things you had to say. But
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I neglected to talk about the writer who did an
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: excellent job. Her name is Christina Alercan Carrol and she
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: lives locally and she he just wrote a brilliant piece.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: She has a gift for writing outstanding. I've never read
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: such a comprehensive piece and covered all areas you really should.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen read this as Natalie, who's rejoined us
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: from home convalescing is posted it on Facebook and you'll
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: get a chance to see it yourself now. Yesterday I
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: was upset that they had listed New Jersey as the
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: second most livable state in America. Behind Idaho. I said,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: kid out of here, Ufa, but apparently a lot of
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: people agreed. When Natalie and Migliore went down into the streets,
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: I was amazed. Today they have a survey of the
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: most desired locations to visit for vacation in the world,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: and they list Osaka number one.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: In Japan. I have Guardian angels there. They ain't no
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: damn way.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: They have probably one of the biggest homeless encampments that
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: I've ever seen, you know, on the outskirts of the city.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: They put them all to the outs catch It's unbelievable.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: And then they have Coyota number two, which is the
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Imperial city that we would not bomb in World War Two.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: We bombed everything else, but if we bomb that, they'll
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: never give up. And then they have New York City
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: number three, And I said, because I've had the ability
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: to travel the world, are you kidding?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: My favorite location that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: I think everyone adores is Florence, you know, with all
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: the art and all the sculpture in Italy. My second
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: favorite city, and I think most desired, is Cape Town.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Most people can't afford to go there, but oh my god,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: you see along the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean. It's like
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: California without oil. It's just incredible problem there is it's
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: called Rapetown, a lot of crime. And then there are
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: so many other cities. I would have chosen New York City.
• 15:47

• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Oddly enough, the one place I've never been to that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I really would love to go to is Nashville. Nashville,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I've never been. I mean, I've been there just about
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: everywhere else in the country, and I think America is gorgeous.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: We don't have to go overseas. But I've never been
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: to Nashville, and I'd love to go there.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, downtown magnificent.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: You know, all the gin mills, all the places where
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: they're playing music for aspiring artists coming into the traditional artists.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Except when it floods, you don't want to be in Nashville.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: I was there I when I head flooded. I was
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: there with Guardian Angels from Chattanooga. We were helping because
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: it was a bad flood. But you're right, it's a
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: great place to go in the United States.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely internationally, just because my dad raved about it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Is Copenhagen.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Copenhagen, I've been there.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Not that great.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: You know. The place I haven't been shame on me Vene, Venice,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: city of canals. You would think I would win. In Italy.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: I have six groups of Guardian Angels in Italy.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Never been to Venice.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it. We went by it on a boat,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but I didn't go in there. Well, it was on
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a tour and they didn't have venice on there.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Free Port Long Island, believe it or not, has some
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: canals in the area that gives you a little bit
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: of a feel of that. You know, they have the
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: nautical mile there. But I'm telling you, I just look.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: I love New York City, but it wouldn't be the
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: third most desirable location in the world to go to
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: just because I'm from New Yorks. I don't think most
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: others would choose it as the third most desirable life.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I have relatives across the country, and of
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: course we're relatives in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and every
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: time somebody we get together, they talk about going to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's there.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Is this appeal and this magic about going to New York,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and it lives up to it. I mean, I think
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: some of the people that live here get jaded because
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and they see everything. They see the worts. People that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: come here for the first time, they don't see that
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: they're looking at Times Square.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, They're looking up at Times Square they're getting their
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: pockets passed. Then they got to take the subway. The
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: trains are not running where they're supposed to be. There's
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: no way conditioning. You're fitching. There's garbage everywhere, rats, homeless people,
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: mostly just short.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: But I've been to New York City, Melly Elmo comes up.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: You're right, all those cartoon carriages and Times Square and
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: then they love Curtis and Naked Cowboy right now, that
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: a traditional iconic figure in Times Square, the Naked Cowba.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: But you know, Natalie and Migliori and Natalie herself accompanied
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: me to Times Square, and I chased off all those fake,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: fully fraudulent cartoon characters.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, listen, before I worked here, I've had pictures
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: taken with them in my kids. I had my kids
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: take pictures with them. Now that I know better, I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: probably wouldn't do that again. Hey, let's get the News

• 20:01
  Speaker 9: It happened a little after one pm Thursday at a

  Speaker 10: A bipartisan rally was held in support of the Light's

  Speaker 5: Yesterday Larry I ran into a group of businessmen. They
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: were having a lunch and they've been listening to us
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: and asked me more about Supersure because as businessmen, they
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: have multiple businesses, have all kinds of insurance policies, and
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: a lot of the language is like in court. If
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: you happen to be there in court and the lawyers
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: are talking in a language than only in the jug
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: understands you say, I'm.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: The client, I'm paying your money. Could you please translate that?
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: And that's what they were complaining about with their brokers,
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: and I said, look, guys, I really mean it your
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: order to check out Supersure and to everybody out there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: So if your company has more than twenty five employees,

• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Welly, as Curtis just said a second ago, Flock is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in the news all the time and it's not been good. Now,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the CEO of the surveillance AI company has heard your
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: complaints and he's suggesting some major changes will go through
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: them for them.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: When we come back.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you have been telling you about the Flock controversy.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: All across the country. There's one hundred and twenty six
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: thousand FLOCK surveillance cameras on streets and buildings all across
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the city. You pass maybe one hundred FLOCK cameras on
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: your right endo work. They are prevalent, and it all
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: sounds orwellian, doesn't it. I mean the fact that big
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: brother is watching you all the time. Flock is different
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: than other surveillance cameras because it not only gets your
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: license plate, but it also gets the make and year
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: and model of your car, and so with that information
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it automatically goes to AI and they know just about
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: everything about you not only where you're going, where you've been,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: but also some facts and figures about you and your life.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: And so a lot of people like the ACLU and
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: several politicians have come out and said, wait, that's too much.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: That makes us a surveillance state. And one of the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: guys recently that's had a voice in this is Glenn Jacobs,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: who is the mayor of Nash of Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: A few weeks ago where a family was a few
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: weeks ago, where a family was pulled over again, police
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: get out the cars because they think it's a very
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: dangerous situation. That thought it was a stolen car.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: It was not.
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: It was an air with the flock cameras. Those are
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: not isolated incidents. Those may be more traumatic than what
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: we've seen otherwise. But this system is notoriously erroneous. There's
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: a city in California at seventy one percent of the
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: hits were the wrong license plate. So we're talking about
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: something that is not only not safe, it's unconstitutional.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so the CEO has been pretty good with this.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Garrett Langley has been touring the country, going all across
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the country, been very open about what FLUCK does, has
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: been on all of the networks. Anytime it's brought up,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: like it was in Connecticut last week, anytime it's brought
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: up for legislation, he is there and he wants to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: point out all the good things that Fluck does.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: Last year alone, we helped solve more than a million crimes.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: And that's from national stories like the brown shooter to
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: every day stolen cars. And you look at last month,
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: over one thousand missing people detected and over twenty two
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: thousand stolen cars. So it's every day you hear stories
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: of just incredible results.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: But he admits they make mistakes. He admits it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: He says, yes, there's been mistakes made, but a lot
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of it is not us. It's the database is wrong.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And so whatever he has come out Curtis and he's
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: so smart and doing this, he's getting out ahead of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: all of the backlash. And so he's come out with
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: some reforms. For instance, Flock has been saving your information
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: for a month. That's what they tell everybody. One month,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: they save your information, then they get rid of it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Now they're going to cut that down to seven days
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: because they say ninety percent of the crimes and the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: missing people they're able to help solve within seven days,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: so after that they don't think it's really that necessary.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: The other thing they're going to do, and this is
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: where most of the problems have been, they want written authorization.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Every time a police officer or somebody that has access
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that shouldn't have access is going to use FLOCK to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: get written permission, so you can't use it before you
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: get written permission from your superior and then he has
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to send that also to FLOCK so they have a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: record of it. So I don't know if that's gonna
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: be enough at this point, but at least they're doing something.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: No, absolutely not.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: He's only doing this because he never put the guardrails
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: in to begin with, Like Ai, no guardrails, you know.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: We have to do this.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: One hundred and twenty thousand cameras that share the information
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: with one another. It's it's Orwellian, it's it's like what
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: the Red Chinese do. And now that his biggest government customer, California,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: is gonna shut him down. It as the most cars
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: in the nation, the most cameras, the most criminals because
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: they have the most prisoners. Los Angele's just say no,
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: we're gonna we're gonna shut down the contract. Sacramento. The
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: state legislature is saying no, no, we're gonna have hearings
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: on this.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: They gotta be guardrails. So he's trying to stay ahead
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: of the curb. Just like with AI.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: They don't want guardrails except now because they got the
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: leaders of the pack, you know, they say, well, now
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: would set time for the guardrails. I'd have to say
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: that this is the one thing that's brought together a
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: lot of people on the right and left. So if
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: you're on the right and you're a libertarian as I am,
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: you're opposed. If you're on the left, you know you
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: don't trust government at all, you know, in this capacity
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: by storing this information. So I think he's gonna have
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: to be out on the road constantly, because this movement
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: has gained so much momentum that it's actually united people
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: who sometimes can't even sit in the same room because
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: they disagree on everything else under the sun.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But it's not that easy, right, I mean, it really
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: isn't that easy, And that's why I'm so torn on it,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: because if you listen to both sides of the argument,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they both make incredibly valid points and one of the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: most valid points is did you know that they find
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: missing people ten thousand a week and much of it
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: is because of them. I mean, it is incredible all
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of the crimes that they've helped to solve, and some
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: very serious crimes where they saved lives, where there was
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: somebody that wanted a killing spray was traveling someone else
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and they were able to get them. So it's an
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: extremely valuable tool, and I get that part of it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: But the fact that they have an error rate of
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: eight percent and the fact that there are people that
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: have access to this that shouldn't have access to it
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and use it for nefarious reasons is what they have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to stop. So I don't think you throw out the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: baby with the bathwater. I think it's an incredibly important
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: tool to have. But you're right, it's guardrails. It's guardrails.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: And maybe this isn't enough yet, Maybe what he's saying
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: isn't enough, Maybe there has to be more. But what
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: you can't get rid of it, you can't get rid
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: of the name again Eric Langley, Eric big brother Langley.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: We don't need big brother man. You're always black and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: white on these things. There's no middle ground.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: He's made a lot of money and he wants to
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: save that cushion because he's now threatened with losing a
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: lot of it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: But we're on it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: We're the only program actually covering flock extensively like we do.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: A so a credit to you because you're the one
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: who brought this issue to the forefront when Connecticut was
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: grappling with it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Well everybody's grappling with it now. It's really interesting as
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: states and mayors all across the country. By the way,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: miss I miss said his first name. It's Garrett Langley.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Garrett Langley, Garrett big brother in language. I apologize for that.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: But up next, Oh man, this was a horror during
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: the lockdown and pandemic, the out door dining sheds. You're homeless,
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: you emotionally disturbed, your copper squat, rats, garbage, oh, graffiti, horror.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: They're bringing it back. City Council has so much time
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: on its hands they decided to bring it back. They
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: want to close Fordham Road to normal traffic. They want
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: to extend the bus lanes and the bike lanes and
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: ruin that thoroughfare. And they're doing it in the Upper
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: West Side. Seventy second Street where I live. But boy,
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: they're getting organized blowback there from two different groups who've
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: already gotten gotten into court where there's stay order, a
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: lot to discuss, in fact, in involving Gotham City up next.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: But I must tell you right now, just as the
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: subject of flock affects everybody collection of data, and a
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: lot of people are upset with that, just like AI
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: affects the collection of data, and a lot of people
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: are upset with that. Think day to day, how many
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: of these unwanted texts and unwanted calls that you're getting
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: on a regular basis, And you're saying, how the hell
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: did these people all of a sudden get hold of
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: my phone number, my home address, my email, my family members,
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: They know who they are, my political affiliations, even where
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: I bank, because there are data data banks. They collect
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: this information and they bundle it and it's legal and
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: they'll sell it to the prices rite whoever it is.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: So you got to put up a firewall.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: And I'm recommending what I use, which is incognitive get
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: a bad impeded write it down. I n ceog Ni
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: automatically removes your personal information from hundreds of data brokers
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: and people's search sites.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Incogniti sends the legal removal.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Requests, they follow up, they play whack them all to
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: make sure that if they said that they're eliminating it,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: it is eliminated. If scammers can't find you, they can't
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: target you. If spammers can't get you, they'll keep bothering you.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Not if you go to incognitate dot com slash Curtis
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: save sixty percent when you sign up and recommend it
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: to your friends in relatives too, because you know they're
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: going through the same ord deal.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: That's I n CEOG and.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Central well fail me once. I guess the City Council
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: fifty one people there who have too much time on
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: their hands, have this sided. Let's fail the people of
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: New York City again by bringing back the outdoor dining sheds.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: How quickly they forget during the lockdown and pandemic. I
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: understand why you needed them. Restaurants were going out of business.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Is the draconian measures imposed by Fauci, Deblasio and Cornwall
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: made it almost impossible to run a restaurant.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: But then when I would make the rounds because I'm
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: out in the streets every day, Larry, these sheds were
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: graffeeding on. It became a disposal point for garbage. Naturally,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: if you're homeless, you're gonna shack up in a shed,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: right You're protected from the elements and emotionally disturb people.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: And it was a mess, And so now things are
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: pretty much.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Back to normal. There is some outdoor dining. People oftentimes
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: will get a license to put some tables and chairs
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: out on the sidewalk, not that they take over the
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: entire sidewalk, a limited area of it, and people seem
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: to have a good time. I don't want to I
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: don't want to rain on the restaurant tours or the workers'
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: ability to earn.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: But who's demanding the the shed? And then in the
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: winter you're gonna have in the winter.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: At how many times have these big trucks which have
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: to do deliveries have either flattened sheds thankfully with no
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: people in it, or almost flattened sheds while people were
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: dining in it and wait staff were serving in It's like.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Why is this an overwhelming need in New York City?
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: And to add insult to injury, they've gone up to
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Fordham Road, where I established the Guardian Angels as a
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: night manager in nineteen seventy nine. And they've taken this
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: thoroughfare which is used by many buses, bicyclists, and obviously
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: people in cars and trucks, and they basically said, ooh.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Far to the cars and the trucks.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: We're going to extend the bike lanes, and we're going
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: to extend the bus lanes.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: And said, well, how are you gonna get cross the bronx.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's no common sense yet on West seventy
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: second that far where I and Nancy live, that community
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: ain't taken it. They're basically taking waste West seventy second
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Street from the park to the Hudson River, and they're
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: turning it into bus and bike lanes, eliminating cars and
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: the people they have lawyered up, they've already gone into court.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: They've got this stay order on that two different groups.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Let me take these things one at a time. Let's
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: start with the outdoor dining. It's all about money. They
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: answer to every mystery is money. That's why they're doing it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: They're gonna make up to thirty five hundred dollars per
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: restaurant the city for this, and they keep saying, oh no,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: it's not about us. It's about the money that the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that the restaurants are gonna make and the employees are
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be hired.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: No, no, no no. This is like.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Everything under this administration and in this city. It is
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: a money grab to pay for things like the busway.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: So he so Mom, Donnie can say, look, I'm checking
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: off all the things. I promise he needs money at
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Pied de Teri. You know, tax the rich of outdoor
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: dining all year long. We get licensing fees for that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: It is ridiculous as far as the busway goes. As
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: somebody who drives into the city every single day, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: feel like the underclass. I feel like there is a
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: bias against me and anybody that drives in I know
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: because I've talked to them feels that exact same way.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: And yet we come in and we work here, and
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: we pay taxes here, and we support this city with
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: our funds and with our work, and we have become
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: second class citizens. And it is absolutely unfair. It started
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: with Deblasio when he was just closing down streets left
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and right for like restaurants and street fairs. Then we
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: have the bike lanes, Then you have the bikers with
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: no laws. I almost hit one, it was. It was
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: stunning to me. I was going through a green light.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Suddenly he appeared right in front, right in front of
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: my car. I had to slam on the brakes. I mean,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: there it is. There's not only a lawlessness when it
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: comes to those delivery bikes and the e bikes, they
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: for some reason, they're favored citizens. Pedestrians are in the back,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: people who take the bus are favored citizens. Restaurant owners
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: now are favored citizens. It just seems like they're trying
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: to squeeze they're trying to squeeze us out.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: Let's look at the restaurant owners themselves. They get deliveries.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: If they don't have the products, they obviously can't offer
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: it on the menu. Where are the trucks gonna park
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: to make the deliveries. I mean they're taking up all
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: these parking spots, which would make you, the normal car rider,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: not a delivery person, have to take a reverse mortgage
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: to find a parking space in one of these private garages,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of it which goes to the city in tact.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: But I can answer your question. They just stop in
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: the middle of the street. I've been behind them.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: They just say, you can wait because you are one
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: of the second class citizens. You are a commuter that
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: drives a car. Shame on you, So just sit there
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: and wait while we unload. I'm behind it all the time.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: Up next, all eyes on Luis gi Mangioni. What decision
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: will he make in federal court? Our own, Natalie Miglioi
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: will be sampling your opinions and we'll be breaking it
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: down for you up next, But first, then fourth,
