  Speaker 2: wr 9 and 10 you wake up with larry and
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: me in the morning at 6 and we have something
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: planned for him didn't have a chance to discuss it
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: with you larry or natalie things have been moving so
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: quickly ever since the Department of Health of the City
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of New York actually released the PSA, the way it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be done, with me and Zoran Mandami
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: getting our flu shots, I noticed that circulating around WOR,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: no doubt done by AI, artificial intelligence, sorry, Mr. President,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: not super intelligence, was a picture of me and you, Larry,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: holding hands while getting our flu vaccine.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Although you didn't sign up for that, right? No, I'm not.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And I'm thinking about being the first AI lawsuit. I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: going to sue over that because that was absolute defamation.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Absolute defamation. I can assure you it's gone. It appeared.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But I have convinced Tom Cuddy that why not the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: merging of the PM and the AM, me and Jimmy
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: failure together forever. sitting next to one another, right, holding hands,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: doing a PSA for all of our WOR listeners, those
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that choose to take the vaccine for the flu. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: both of us get the shots. I think that's a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: great idea. I think it's a wonderful idea. I think
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you should dress alike. It would be so cute.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yes. He can wear a guardian angel's outfit. Is he
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: allowed to? Yes, absolutely.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Natalie, what do you think of this tremendous idea doing
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a public service for our W.R. listeners who can hear
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: this program all over the United States? Flu season coming,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and Japan is being ravaged by the flu. They've had
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: 36 straight days of rain. So I think we've got
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to really pin down Jimmy Don't Fail Me Now failure
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: when he comes in for the 8 o'clock hour.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I think he'd be all in, but I love how
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Larry is just pushing it over to Jimmy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, if you'd like to have
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: your picture taken holding hands with With Curtis Lewa. Just
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: go ahead and leave us a talkback and say you'd
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: like to, but you have to get your flu shot
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: at the same time. Go to the iHeartRadio app, leave
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lewa and
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt that's going to be
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: awarded every day to the talkback of the morning.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Just one request on that before we move on. Make
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: sure your hands are not sweaty. The mayor's hands, thankfully,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: were not sweaty.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought you were going to tell me they were.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You remember the texture of his hands? Oh, yes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Man, I will never forget shaking Richard Nixon's hands in
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the White House when I was a newspaper boy of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the year. It was 1969. And that was the coldest,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: sweatiest hand I had ever shaken in my life.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I have nightmares from that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So I can assure you that Zoran Mondami's hands were
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: not clammy and sweaty. That's why I continue to hold
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: them all during that ordeal of getting by.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: What did he smell like? My smell is really not good.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think you know that. You were pretty close, though.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I was close. Smell like lilacs?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's the Department of Health. You know what the Department
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of Health smells like? A lot of Lysol. Yeah, exactly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of Lysol. Like a senior citizen home when
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you go to visit, like Lysol. But anyways.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I love that you're reminiscing about that moment, though. That's adorable.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It really is adorable. Man, has it reverberated all over
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Pro and con.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: For everyone who praises me for crossing the political line,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: another one wants basically to make sure I go away
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: for all time. But this is your day, Larry, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I don't want to rain on your day because today, Tuesday,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and Wednesday, and this includes you, Natalie, but not me,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: October 6th, October 7th, very big, because it's prime big
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: deal day with Amazon. Now, when we last visited you, Larry,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you were so into buying Amazon that you had boxes
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in your hallway, your foyer that you hadn't even opened
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: up yet. And you, Natalie, you always looking for Amazon deals.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And I told you about my wife. She's Miss Amazon.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: She orders nonstop, which really pisses me off because I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: hate Jeff Bezos. I hate his wife. I hate everything
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he represents. And actually, I think of him first and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: foremost as Mr.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Amazon. So Larry, are you looking forward to the start
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of the day?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't, I didn't even know it was
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: today until you mentioned it. I order from Amazon all
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: of the time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I order from Amazon all the time. If I need something,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I look at Amazon and it's amazing how quickly they
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: can get it to you. So it is an incredible
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: service and incredible service, but you know, I'm not, I'm
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: not a person.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I never run out for sales. I never think of Amazon.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I should.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's the right thing to do. It's
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: not the proper way to do things. Of course I
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: should be looking for sales. I never do.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Natalie, do you look for sales?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Excuse me? I'm looking at Amazon right now. Don't bother me.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I'm looking how I can get a Lego river steamboat set.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: For 30% off. Wait a second. Wow. Now that's a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: good idea. $ 229 for Legos. Can you imagine? If I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: can get all of the Christmas presents.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Now through Amazon Prime, that's, thank you for that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I hate you guys for that. You want to.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Know how treacherous and devious I am? I come home
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: from the Atlantic attic on Sunday. It was raining, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a big crowd. And that's how I know we're doing well, Larry.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: As I mentioned, if people haven't heard it before, People
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: knew I was away on Friday. I was up at
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the University of Binghamton. They said, oh, we missed you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: with Larry on Friday. Very good sign. Very good sign,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: which means they've come on over to 710WOR in the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: mornings or they've stayed with 710WOR because they've been tried
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and true listeners. So Sunday night I get home and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: there is Nancy struggling. She had ordered from Amazon. There
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: was the big Amazon box, which had arrived on Saturday,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a filing cabinet.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: What?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: She was trying to put it together. She's very good.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: She grew up reading Popular Mechanics. I did not.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: She's looking for the instructions. I don't know where I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: put the instructions. And in my pile of papers, as
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you see before me now, was the instructions.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And guess what? I tortured her.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You did not. I would not give her the instructions
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: because I hate every time she orders from Amazon. It
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: destroys the brick and mortar fabric of America, the shops,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the mom and pop shops.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: America is based on retail. And look at all the malls.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: All the malls that have closed. It's a filing cabinet.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Do you expect her to go on the subway, go
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: down to wherever, get a filing cabinet, bring it back?
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: This makes it a lot easier for her.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I have another question. What kind of instructions come with
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: a filing cabinet?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: She has to put it together. Yeah, she has to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: put it all together.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It comes, you know, in one rectangular box, and now
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you've got to build it out. She's good at that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: but without the instructions, she's not that good.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a Timu filing cabinet. That sounds awful.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Now, I would never have done this to a Larry
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and Natalie if she wasn't constantly ordering from Amazon. I mean,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I'll be there in the afternoon. You know, she has
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to go out and work.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You know, the ring and the bells. She said, make
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: sure you answer the bell and you let them in.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't ring the bell. Well, they have to get
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it when you live in an apartment building. Oh, they
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to be.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You don't want them to leave it in the foyer
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: because then all the porch pirates will steal everything. So
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I got to ring the bell, and they never get
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in all the way, and you got to keep ringing
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the bell, and then finally they get in. And they
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: look like they could do a home invasion when you
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: actually see them at the door.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, man, if they weren't working for Amazon, some
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of these guys look like they could be doing a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: home invasion.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Well, we have a different experience completely. Our guys are
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the nicest guys in the world.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: They really are.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I had something delivered the other day that had to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: be signed for from Amazon. And so it was wine
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: that we ordered. We ordered like a case of wine.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: You ordered wine from Amazon?
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is a new revelation? Yeah, what else have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you ordered from Amazon? You are the celebrity shopper in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: your household.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that you did most of your shopping
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: by ordering on Amazon.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I insist, by the way, on doing all the grandkids'
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Christmas shopping. So when you mentioned Amazon, I went immediately
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: to Amazon to see what toys are on sale. If
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I can get all the Christmas shopping done now and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: not spend a fortune at the last minute, I'd be
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: a very happy person.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I'm still shocked about the wine Amazon order. You know
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: what's really bothering you about Amazon now? Well, it's not
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: even Amazon. It's my ring doorbell. See, I used to
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: be able to sneak the Amazon packages in because I'd
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: get home before my husband. Thankfully, the Amazon usually comes
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: before 3 o'clock.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'd grab them. I'd stash them away. Now, everybody has
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a ring doorbell.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: So you get the notifications, package at door, packages left
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the door. So my husband's like, what got delivered today?
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, there's no way I can sneak the
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: packages in now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: This is not fair.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Because you are addicted. You are addicted to Amazon like Nancy, addicted.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And you, no doubt, next you'll be getting your groceries
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: from Amazon.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I've done it before.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Because they give you an ad every single time you
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: buy something. Would you like to buy this? And it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: all groceries.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, would you like to add?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And one time I looked at it and my son
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: loves to get pizzas. And so I ordered a frozen pizza,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: two of them. It showed up in an hour.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: An hour?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It was at my door in an hour.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: It's because, you see, when you talk about the malls
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: and the local stores and you want to support them,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Amazon uses them. Amazon uses a lot of their stuff
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to get to you. So if you talk to a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: lot of these local stores and local workers, they love Amazon.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: What happened to all the anchor stores? They're gone.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks, they're gone. You go to Major Malls,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Bergen County, right? The mall capital of the world. Natalie,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: no doubt you shopped till you dropped.
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: In Bergen County.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: There's a Macy's right down the street from me. I mean,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: it didn't close down. Some of them went down.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: No, but Bergen County, you know, you can't. All the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: stores are closed on Sundays. They observe the blue laws.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It used to be all, am I right, Natalie? All
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: malls with anchor stores. Are you kidding me?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Now those anchor stores are empty. They're closing, yeah. A
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: lot of them are closing. Because of Amazon. Because of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And what's the name of his wife? You know, the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: one with all the artificial things on her.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: What are the artificial things? Yeah, you know, from boobs
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to everything else. Oh, my God.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Lady, do you think you can wear a decent pair
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: of clothes instead of looking like you're in a strip show?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Only because we're in radio, so nobody can see your
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: hand effects. When you lift up your chest and say
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the artificial things.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hers are lifted. There's no doubt. And she
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: does it on purpose. She does it on purpose. I can't. Larry,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you just.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we got to talk about it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: The New York Yankees. They're not out. They're not out,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: but they are down. And few teams have come back
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: from where they are now. We'll talk about it next. Plus,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: a chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: starring the man himself from the movie. And he's the writer,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Chaz Palminteri. That's at 825. But first, I do want
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to tell you about LifeVac. You hear me talk about
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: this every day, and the reason I talk about it
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: every day is because I believe in this product so much,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and I think you should have one in your house.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: It would make me feel better if you had one
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: in your house, because choking can happen anytime, and when
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: it does, seconds matter. LifeVac is the first and only,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: this is important, only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: used for second-line treatment when the recommended choking protocols, like
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the Heimlich or just hitting somebody in the back, have
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: been followed without success.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And here's what's remarkable.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: LifeVac has helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. We had
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Arthur Lee, the founder of LifeVac, in here the other day,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: and he had on his phone, he just got a
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: notice that day, another person had been saved. So these
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: aren't just numbers. These are real people, real families, real
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby, LifeVac,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: can make all the difference in the world. So learn
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: and see how you can be ready when it counts.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: There is a global initiative right now to handle what.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Are the perceived problems with AI. There is a national
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: consortium that's getting together with all the top AI companies
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: that met for the first time at the White House.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: And there are congressional and Senate hearings on this with
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: many of the experts. But thank God, thank God the
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: New York City Council is weighing in on this. Because
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: when you think of global problems with AI, when you
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: think of artificial intelligence and high tech, Right away, you
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: think to yourself, well, what does the New York City
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Council think about this? Because they may be able to
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: solve the problem. And so the only person, by the way,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: for their hearing that showed up in person was the
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: one guy that's everywhere now, Jacob Coxon. He is the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: anthropic whistleblower that was the first one out to say,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you know, AI could destroy the world. There's a 10%
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: chance that AI could destroy the world. So he got
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: up in person and testified first.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: We do not know how to control any AI system yet.
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: So any AI system that we build or perhaps more
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: accurately that we grow, we don't fully control it. We
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: don't understand its drives or why it does the things
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: it does. That was the first thing that became apparent.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: The second thing is that the pace of capability improvement
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: is accelerating and the capabilities of the models next year
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: will be.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Very high.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: So he's still all doom and gloom. The world is
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: going to end. Nobody else seems to be on board
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: with him, but he's going to get the most attention.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: But I want to take you now to the New
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: York City Council because they had four other representatives from Google,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: from Meta, from OpenAI, from Anthropic. They were all there.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: They had four of them in a box and they
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: were appearing via streaming.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: City Council opened up questions to them, and it didn't
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: go well because the questions that were asked, you could
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: tell the people thought either weren't appropriate or weren't the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: best questions to ask. So I'm going to give you
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: one of these so you can hear the way it went.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: This is Julie Mennon, the head of the City Council,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: leading off questionings.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: As you all four are under oath, we want to
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: hear how each of you quantify the risk imposed by
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: AI in the worst case catastrophic scenario.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So she used big words and everything, quantify.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: And then she was completely shut down by Morgan Dwyer,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: who is OpenAI's head of policy and operations development.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: I also don't think it matters whether it's 1% or 10%
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: or a 20% chance that something catastrophic will go wrong.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: None of these levels is remotely acceptable. We should not
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: train models that we cannot make an extremely strong case
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: that we can keep under human control.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: So that was a great answer. What she's saying is,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: does the percentage matter? Does the percentage matter at all?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: If it can happen, it can happen. We have to
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: shut that down. But Julie Menon, she was insulted.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but to say you don't know and it
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter is flippant at best.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: That's not what she said.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I know most of the 51 who serve in the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: city council. You need actual intelligence, AI, actual just to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: deal with this subject. You and I, we've been dealing
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: it for months. We're not qualified to speak on it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: And yet, you know what they did over the weekend?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I got inside information because the staff does all the work,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: as you know. And staff, you know, people get elected.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: They come and go. They're term limited. But staff remains
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the same. So many of them had no idea what
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: AI was. So they got together and he started binge
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: watching some of the movies about AI over the weekend.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: The Matrix trilogy, back to back to back. And 2001
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Space Odyssey. They had their crib notes. They knew nothing
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: about this. Now, Julie Menett.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Press the panic button. She called the committee of the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: whole meeting. This is only done on special occasions. The
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: last time, all 51, you got to be there or
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you get no discretionary funds. When Adams, remember Eric Adams
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: was spending $ 7 billion of our money to shelter the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens. That was a crisis. This is not. You
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: know what is a crisis? Legionnaires disease. It's popped up again.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: North Shore Towers, Glen Oaks, they all listen to talk radio.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I've spoken there twice during the campaigns.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Packed.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: They're all senior citizens. This is right near the border
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of Nassau County. They got their own golf course. Two
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: people were in the hospital. They don't know the origin. Remember,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: this hit us in the Upper East Side. It hit
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: us recently, the South Bronx, even Yankee Stadium. Do you
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: think maybe that's a subject that they ought to be
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: delving into since it seems to be spreading all over
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: the place?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You know, stay within your lane. Exactly.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: This apparently is a hot topic right now, and we
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: need to stay on top of that Legionnaire's disease. No,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: thanks for bringing that up. That's a big deal.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: There is a benefit here. What?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: By her reminding everybody, you're on the oath. I'll tell
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: you what Schumer just did, and this is what they
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: all do.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Schumer's daughter was just hired by OpenAI after she had
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: worked with Amazon.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: OpenAI, Sam Altman. So you see... The.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Companies come in, they know they have no power, no
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: jurisdiction because it starts with the feds and then everybody
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: else follows. But you can offer jobs to friends and relatives,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: legislative aides, the lobbying firms. You get people placed because
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: now you develop relationships. It's adversarial, but it's friendly. Just
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: follow the money.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's all it is. The city council can't do anything.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: They still have bureaus, Larry, where they're using floppy disks
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and they're worried about artificial intelligence.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Obviously, she didn't know what she was talking about. But
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest problems I have with all of
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: these hearings and not just at city council, but also
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the congressional hearings. Almost every political hearing is that they
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: go in with an agenda, and their agenda was to
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: attack these people. And that was it, because that would
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: make them look good. They know that people are scared
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: of AI. They wanted to be the Avengers going in
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to take on AI and they were out of their depth.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: So these people, I would love them. If you have
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the experts in AI and the people they had, they
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: actually sent some pretty good people. I mean, not sent, they,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: they at least set up on camera to that. They
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: had some pretty good people. You have a brain power there.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Understand it. Ask them questions. Get a better understanding of
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about. They skipped that part. They skipped
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the knowledge part and went right to attack, and they
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: end up looking foolish.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Now, Julia Menon, you know, threatened subpoenas, you're under oath.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: You know who told her, go F off?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk.
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I know. The conversation continues. Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: 710WOR. Well, we've been joined by Jimmy Fallon. You go
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: to sleep with him at 9, 9 to 12, 710WOR,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the number one talk station in the nation, and you
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: wake up with Larry and Curtis in the morning at 6. Well,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: first off, we have to give salutations and greetings to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: you and your other family at the Fox News channel,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: because apparently it's their 30th birthday.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Think about that. Fox News is 30. 50 years from now,
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: we'll be old enough to run for Congress. You look
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: at the milestones, you know, where does.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: The time go? So were you even birthed? With the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: birth of Fox News. I was.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: I was in Gnaton. Nobody likes a show off, but
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: you know this. I was going to Nassau Community College.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: I was a freshman in college, and I was getting
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: ready to watch the Yankees win the World Series. So
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of parallels between then and now, except
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: this whole Yankees winning the World Series thing.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Aside from that, a lot of it feels the same.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Are there any plans?
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: What's going to happen at Fox for the 30th? Well,
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: tomorrow is a massive building-wide party. Okay, so they're having
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: a town hall. where they will address the entire company
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: will be there. And they'll kind of walk us through
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: the years. We added this, we did that. This show came,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: all that jazz. And they feed you all day. So
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: the one thing about Fox that I wish everybody could
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: spend five minutes experiencing this just once in their life,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: in that way, it really is like a big Italian family.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Like they always feed you. They're like, it's election night.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: Catering's on the second floor, snacks are on the fifth floor.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: They're always feeding you. And because of that social component,
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: it feels like a well-dressed high school. I always explain
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: this to my friends. Okay, everybody thinks we're just there,
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: you know, throwing darts at Obama posters, you know, but.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: You're actually, it's like a high school.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: You know, in high school, you run into your best
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: friends in the hall for two minutes, the bell rings,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: you run the class.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: That's Fox.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: But instead of running the class, you run to a
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: TV studio and then you throw the darts at Obama,
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: right at him, you know, whatever. No, but the point is,
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: it has a very communal vibe and it spills onto
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: the air. And that's why people watch it all day.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Because they feel like they're with their family. And they are,
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: whenever somebody meets me. And they're like, oh, I feel
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: like I know you.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you do.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: You know, you can't, you wouldn't script this level of ridiculousness.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: And for that reason, the vibe around the building is
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: actually really good right now. And people are excited for tomorrow.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Do they share the.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Ratings with you? Yes. Do you see time spent watching?
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Because you're right. People sit down to watch Fox and
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: they watch it for hours. Days, weeks. Is it really?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: You want to know my favorite? It's my favorite Fox thing. Okay.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: People will come up to me and they'll go, yo man,
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: when do you sleep? I saw you on Fox and
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Friends first five in the morning. Then I saw you
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: on Hannity at 10 at night. And I'm like, yo man, when.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Do you sleep? Out of curiosity.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Exactly. I'm like, this is my job. I come and go.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: I bounce back on and off the air.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Now, let me explain to you. You haven't quite figured
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Why to make sure that they have so much food
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and so many snacks at the ready? Because they don't
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: want these guys sneaking out to the gin mill across
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the street, knocking back a few and coming back after
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: the bag. Well, that's not working. Maybe they're trying to
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: sober us up.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: That is a corporate way of getting people to stay
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: in the building and to stay at work. You go
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: out to Palo Alto, you can get food all day.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: They have places to sleep. You can get your laundry done.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. A massage, too.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a massage.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: They haven't provided that, have they? A little Chinese massage. Whoa, curse.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Free flu shots, maybe? Good morning. Oh, you
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: kids today.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Now, let me give you a little side story because
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I am somewhat responsible for Fox News.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I love this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: So I get fired at the old WABC with Lisa
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Angels in the morning.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: She goes her way. I go mine.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Rudy calls me up. He's just been elected mayor of
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: the city of New York. I want you to come
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: over to WNYC, the public radio station. Curtis, we own
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: a radio station and a TV station. We own the sticks.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to sell it and showcase it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Bringing you over, I may get people to be able
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to listen that are interested in buying. So I did
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: seven months. It was pure hell. They hated me there.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: The one benefit is they ended up selling the TV stick.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: WNYC TV to who? Roger Ailes, who negotiated it for
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Rupert Murdoch. And that's the stick that became the Fox
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: News channel.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: It's because of me.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He finds a way to take credit for everything. Well,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's pretty amazing.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: But you are the Wally Pip of television. You know,
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: the Yankees had a first baseman. He took a night off.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: And then Lou Gehrig played for 30 straight years.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Curtis Wally Pips Lewa.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Is there anyone at Fox News that has been there
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: for the entire 30 years?
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Steve Doocy. Lauren Green is there. Hannity.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They're all 30. Well, Lauren Green. I used to work
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: with Lauren Green.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: And I do believe more, but off the top of
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: my head, those are the first three that come to
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: mind because I saw Steve and Lauren in the lobby.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: And Hannity because I sell counterfeit Hannity autographed footballs to
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: my friends.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Around the holidays. The rent don't pay itself, guys. What
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: are we doing here?
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: How does that go? Listen, you know, if you can't
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: answer this question, please don't answer it. But what is
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the relationship now between Fox News and Donald Trump? It
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: sounds like he's a little upset with you.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: I wish.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: This is what I wish.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I wish everybody in the media ecosystem would acknowledge these moments.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Because they always say, like, you know, Fox is just
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: running a human shield for Trump. I'm like, dude, we
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: wake up to one of these anti-Fox tweet barrages, like,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: you know, two, three times a year.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody gets up to pee in the middle of the night.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: He's in a bad mood. And he's like, screw Tarloff.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Cover the rally. What are you guys doing?
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: And I wish people would see this and understand that
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: that is the truth. Like, we are calling balls and strikes.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: And there's this misconception that our party is the Republican Party.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, the truth is our party is America. And
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: that's where so many people relate to us is the
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: things we prioritize are human. They're not political, they're human.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Crime and safety is very human. The border is human.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: You know, affordability, stuff like that, human. Defund the police, human.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: So what happens is at times, if we're not in
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: sync with what he might decide would be, you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: his preferred way of us tackling a particular.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: News cycle, he lets us hear about it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: But if you notice, I think what, what he was
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: screaming about was like, we weren't covering his rallies or
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: something like that. We didn't break into nonstop rally coverage
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: after that. And here's the thing you need to understand.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: And this is the, maybe the distinction for him.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: Of course we covered his rallies when he was the candidate.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: In the general election, You cover the Republican, you cover
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: the Democrat, you're on the campaign trail nonstop. Same with
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: the primary season in the general election. Okay, now you're
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: stumping for a congressional seat somewhere and you're doing 16
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: rallies a day.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: These seats matter, but we're not rally TV.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And we should clarify what
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you're saying. When you say cover, you cover them. Yeah,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: It's just you don't take them live. Yeah, you don't
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: take them live for two hours. Or three or four
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: or more. And I'm sure there are times where they
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: will because there's news being made. You know what I'm saying?
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: But if it's just him calling CNN fake news and
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: doing the YMCA, I mean, we don't necessarily need the
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: full two hours. You know what I mean? It's like
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: the end of an NBA game. You know, it doesn't
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: get good until they start fouling each other. So when
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: we see the village people walk up, we're like, all right,
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: we should break into coverage now.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: You've had an off and on. Fox News has had
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: an off and on relationship with Trump because he does
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: get upset with you every once in a while. Because
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: you started this, though, I will say that.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Give it to me. You used to have him on
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: for hours.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: You'd do interviews, and I'd keep going back, and I'm thinking,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: my God, is he still on? Remember that when he
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: first ran?
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: When he, in 2016, it was really funny because I
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: remember watching this through the lens of Morning Joe. It
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: was like he'd be doing a Fox. He'd be calling
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: the Fox and friends and just air it out. And
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: it was good entertainment too.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: Because it's getting personal. Here's a guy's phone number. Call
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: him up if you don't like him.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: It was good.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: And then on the other side, it was funny because
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: he was doing like the same thing on Morning Joe.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: They were having him on constantly. And then I saw
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: that strategic pivot, you know, because I didn't work at
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Fox when this happened. I came on in 2017. But
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: I saw the immediate pivot after the election where Trump
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: had spent a summer on MSNBC. And the minute he won,
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: they were.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Like, Hitler! Hitler's in the Oval Office!
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: I'm like, well, can you give Hitler his royalty check?
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Because Hitler had a show on your network for 15 years.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Now, on that note, the last time we spoke to
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: you about some of the internal intrigue within the Fox
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: News Channel family.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday. Happy 30th birthday. Maria Barbaroma.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: What's she doing now?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I know nothing. What do you mean you know nothing?
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: She's down on her luck. She's going to be fine.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't you love to be that down on your luck?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Remember, we thought, oh, my God, she's going to become
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: the next press spokesperson for the Trump administration. And we
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: see now that somebody's gotten a new job at the
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Fox News Channel.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I happen to love Caroline Leavitt. You know what the
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: funniest thing about her announcing this new job? She obviously
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: left the White House press gig to say she has
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: another newborn kid. She wants to spend more time with
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: her kid. So, so many people. You know, there's people
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: that just read the news cycle for an angle, an
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: angle to be mad about. Let me show you why you're,
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: you know, you're an idiot, you know.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: You're right.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: She said she was leaving because, you know, she wanted
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: to spend some more time with the kids.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Now she's going to work at Fox.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Listen, I don't want to let you stand completely behind
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: the magician, but being a Fox contributor who does TV
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: for eight minutes a night. is a little bit less
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: demanding than running the White House press shop. Did you
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: hear her hours? She complained about it afterwards. She was
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: on the phone at like 2 in the morning.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: And this isn't a normal White House.
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: This is a guy who's firing off a statement at
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: 3.13 in the morning because he's watching the replay of
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: the Jets game, thinks it's live. They missed the field goal.
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: Fire the coach. Now she's got to get out of bed.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: The baby's crying.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Plus, she said the biggest mistake I made was giving
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: my personal cell phone number to the reporters.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: They call all night long. All night long. Like a
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Lionel Richie song. All night long.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: And there's no time at all for dancing on the
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: ceiling with that job.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: No.
