Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 4: Olive Garden's policy
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And I was happy to see at the end of
- 0:02Speaker 1: the World Cup the leaders of the three North American
- 0:06Speaker 1: countries hosting it were on the stage when the medals
- 0:09Speaker 1: were being given out of MetLife, the president, the President
- 0:14Speaker 1: of Mexico, and the Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada
- 0:18Speaker 1: all getting along splendidly. I was happy to see that
- 0:21Speaker 1: members of both Argentine and the winning Spanish group shook
- 0:27Speaker 1: the hands of our president and all the presidents who
- 0:30Speaker 1: were the hosts.
- 0:31Speaker 2: It was good.
- 0:32Speaker 1: But this came on the heels of a day before
- 0:35Speaker 1: when the President of the United States, on his way
- 0:37Speaker 1: to Bedminster, stated that he wanted to impose tariffs on
- 0:43Speaker 1: Canada because of the forest fires that had drifted down
- 0:47Speaker 1: to the United States. For a second time. It happened
- 0:49Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three, and it happened again as
- 0:53Speaker 1: many of you experienced the stench and the haze.
- 0:57Speaker 2: For more than three days.
- 1:00Speaker 1: But even though there were some Republicans on the border
- 1:03Speaker 1: states who wanted some kind of action taken against Canada,
- 1:09Speaker 1: I don't think the President nor these border state reps,
- 1:13Speaker 1: these republicans understand the Canada is larger than the United States.
- 1:19Speaker 1: The only country larger is Russia only has forty million people,
- 1:23Speaker 1: and that half of Canada's wildfires, as you had mentioned, Larry,
- 1:27Speaker 1: when we discussed this on Friday, are in remote areas
- 1:31Speaker 1: when no road access whatsoever, and at this point it
- 1:36Speaker 1: is impossible to fight and they often have to leave
- 1:40Speaker 1: them to burn. So even though you might be able
- 1:42Speaker 1: to put those water bombers over them, the planes that
- 1:46Speaker 1: drop the water, but you can't get boots on the
- 1:49Speaker 1: ground to put those fires out. And a lot of
- 1:52Speaker 1: those fires are lightning fires, what they call dry lightning fires,
- 1:58Speaker 1: So if you can't get to it within thirty minutes,
- 2:03Speaker 1: then it gets larger and larger and larger. So instead
- 2:06Speaker 1: of looking to fellow Canadians north of the border and
- 2:11Speaker 1: blaming them for this, we got to come up with
- 2:14Speaker 1: a consolidated plan because, as the Canadians have said, warmer
- 2:19Speaker 1: weather means longer fire seasons. We all know there's some
- 2:22Speaker 1: form of climate change going on. We're experiencing higher temperatures
- 2:27Speaker 1: ourselves as they are, and before in Canada, the history
- 2:31Speaker 1: says they used to have a short hot season. Now
- 2:34Speaker 1: they're getting longer, and half of the Canadian wildfires are
- 2:38Speaker 1: caused by this lightning, which is not preceded or followed
- 2:43Speaker 1: by rain. It's just the lightning hits. We've seen pictures
- 2:46Speaker 1: of that. Before the smoke begins to move into the atmosphere,
- 2:52Speaker 1: then you see the fire, then the fire rages and again,
- 2:55Speaker 1: as I said, if you can't get to that fire
- 2:59Speaker 1: within thirty minutes, it becomes an inferno. And in the
- 3:02Speaker 1: past they've just let those fires burn out. So we
- 3:06Speaker 1: need to have a really a three country solution to
- 3:10Speaker 1: help one of the Mexico has helped us in California.
- 3:13Speaker 1: California's had a lot of fires, Oregon washing it. Canada
- 3:16Speaker 1: has helped us. We've helped them. So instead of pointing fingers,
- 3:21Speaker 1: we got to know that this is the way it's
- 3:22Speaker 1: gonna be from now on. I mean, look at how
- 3:25Speaker 1: embarrassing I was. I can't afford to have this. Taking
- 3:27Speaker 1: all of my clothes off outside of my apartment. Nancy
- 3:31Speaker 1: made me do that. Put him in a plastic bag
- 3:34Speaker 1: because I really stunk up the joint. And it wasn't
- 3:37Speaker 1: that I hadn't bathed, it was simply from the stench
- 3:40Speaker 1: in the air.
- 3:41Speaker 3: I am a little upset with the Canadians who just
- 3:44Speaker 3: constantly say there's nothing we can do about this, because
- 3:47Speaker 3: there is something they can do about it. The number
- 3:49Speaker 3: one way to fight and I think that everybody who
- 3:52Speaker 3: is with fire departments that fights wildfires, and I've covered
- 3:55Speaker 3: them both in California and we absolutely talked to people
- 3:58Speaker 3: when they had those horrible wildfires in New Jersey. The
- 4:02Speaker 3: number one thing they will all say, or containment lines.
- 4:05Speaker 3: You've got to contain the fire. That's the number one thing.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Let it burn out, but don't let it spread. And
- 4:11Speaker 3: the problem is with what you just talked about in
- 4:14Speaker 3: which I mentioned earlier, was is the fact that there's
- 4:17Speaker 3: no way to get in there. So what they need
- 4:20Speaker 3: to do before these fires start, and they've done this
- 4:24Speaker 3: in of several forest forests in America, is get in
- 4:28Speaker 3: there so you can get some type of roadway so
- 4:32Speaker 3: you can get some people in there to start those
- 4:36Speaker 3: containment lines, because if you don't have the containment lines,
- 4:38Speaker 3: you can drop all the water in the world on it,
- 4:40Speaker 3: which is all they've been doing. But you're not going
- 4:43Speaker 3: to get any firefighters in there until they have a
- 4:46Speaker 3: way to travel in there and form a line. You know,
- 4:49Speaker 3: they dig it out, They make sure the fire doesn't
- 4:51Speaker 3: spread past a certain area. And that's impossible right now
- 4:55Speaker 3: because they can't even get in there.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I concur we have great CB units you know, that
- 5:00Speaker 1: are grad at doing that. Maybe we can train some
- 5:03Speaker 1: of the Canadians on how to do it, because they
- 5:05Speaker 1: don't seem to have enough personnel that are even trained
- 5:08Speaker 1: to do that. Maybe give them some equipment initially until
- 5:11Speaker 1: they can gather up their own. But unfortunately, uh, this
- 5:15Speaker 1: is the way it's gonna be now. You had pointed
- 5:18Speaker 1: out to our various weather folks who guided us for
- 5:21Speaker 1: two weeks in this extreme weather. Remember we were clobbed
- 5:26Speaker 1: by one hundred degree weather for three days a week ago,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and then same thing back to back, belly to belly,
- 5:33Speaker 1: and you kept saying, and what kind of extreme weather
- 5:36Speaker 1: is gonna follow? Are we gonna have extreme weather after
- 5:40Speaker 1: the three days? And they sort of vacillated and hesitated.
- 5:43Speaker 1: They weren't sure, but oh boy till we get clobbed
- 5:46Speaker 1: on Saturday. And I've been saying for the city folks
- 5:50Speaker 1: in New York City, you don't clean the catch basins out,
- 5:53Speaker 1: not to the people, they don't have the ability to
- 5:55Speaker 1: do that, but.
- 5:56Speaker 2: The city, and you're gonna have massive flooding.
- 5:59Speaker 1: You gonna have it in this way where the garbage
- 6:01Speaker 1: is just blocking the catch basins, and you're gonna have
- 6:04Speaker 1: it above ground. Oh boy, do we have it woodside, sunnyside,
- 6:07Speaker 1: flushing in the basements. You know, we've seen these pictures before,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and I know both you and Natalie out in New Jersey.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It was gusting winds, it was flooding.
- 6:19Speaker 1: This just seems to be three days of brutal hot
- 6:23Speaker 1: weather and man, you're gonna get three inches of rain
- 6:26Speaker 1: and maybe just an hour.
- 6:28Speaker 3: And again they can fix this. This is not that
- 6:31Speaker 3: difficult to fix. It's just expensive and nobody wants to
- 6:34Speaker 3: spend the money on it. But for instance, I don't
- 6:37Speaker 3: know if you saw some of the pictures of the
- 6:39Speaker 3: fire trucks going through the water and to begin up
- 6:42Speaker 3: to hear people getting stuck in water on the streets.
- 6:46Speaker 3: It's the same areas every single time, every single time.
- 6:49Speaker 3: You know where this is going to happen. So there
- 6:52Speaker 3: should be better drainage in theirs areas. You should have
- 6:56Speaker 3: something underneath the road, the water can go down on something,
- 7:01Speaker 3: but they instead, it is cheaper for them to allow
- 7:05Speaker 3: this to keep happening and not fix it.
- 7:08Speaker 4: So when you.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Look at this and you think to yourself, wait a second,
- 7:13Speaker 3: how come my neighborhood floods all the time. It's because
- 7:17Speaker 3: your city or your state has chosen not to do
- 7:20Speaker 3: something about it.
- 7:21Speaker 4: That's the only liston.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Natalie yesterday had to pack her bags and go running
- 7:25Speaker 1: off to watch World Cup because a tree came down,
- 7:29Speaker 1: knocked over the lines, which always happens when the soil
- 7:32Speaker 1: weakens and the roots can no longer hold their un downlows.
- 7:36Speaker 2: The tree down, goes the electric.
- 7:38Speaker 5: Poles down, goes World Cup?
- 7:41Speaker 2: Right? Good, good? But you had to go find a gin?
- 7:44Speaker 2: Mal away?
- 7:45Speaker 5: Did did I tell you truth? There was a lot
- 7:47Speaker 5: of fun.
- 7:48Speaker 4: Wow do you make new friends?
- 7:49Speaker 6: Well, my neighbors came with us, and yeah, I made
- 7:53Speaker 6: a bunch of friends. There was a whole family of
- 7:56Speaker 6: Spanish friends. They're decked out with their flag.
- 8:00Speaker 5: Oh hell coolhit chat with them.
- 8:01Speaker 4: So it's a much better experience.
- 8:03Speaker 2: It actually was.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Thank God for that tree, huh.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I know now, Larry, you love polygrip. What is that polymarket?
- 8:10Speaker 4: My market?
- 8:10Speaker 1: I guarantee you in our Tri state area if you
- 8:13Speaker 1: had to predict where flooding would take place, west Chester,
- 8:17Speaker 1: Ronx River Parkway, Saulmill River, Hutchinson d'kane parkways that are
- 8:22Speaker 1: built in river valleys a little sprints.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Of water and they're underwater.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Like you said, you see those fire engines coming through.
- 8:29Speaker 1: People think they can drive through it. I got a
- 8:32Speaker 1: four wheel drive here, where's the fire department? You know,
- 8:36Speaker 1: they're like ready to drove. But there are certain places,
- 8:39Speaker 1: as you said, if you did a prediction market, you
- 8:42Speaker 1: could almost guarantee when you have even an inch of
- 8:46Speaker 1: rain in an hour where the flighting is gonna.
- 8:49Speaker 3: And everybody knows where they are. Everybody knows where they are,
- 8:52Speaker 3: including the city planners. So fix them there, one at
- 8:56Speaker 3: a time. If you don't want to spend all the money,
- 8:57Speaker 3: just take one at a time and fix them. And
- 9:00Speaker 3: over the next few years you can get them all fixed.
- 9:02Speaker 3: But don't just keep letting this happen. Properties being damaged,
- 9:06Speaker 3: lives are being lost, people were being scared to death.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Just fix it.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Well up next, you remember that picture of Mitch McConnell,
- 9:13Speaker 1: the senator, with his wife, the former trans Transportation secretary,
- 9:18Speaker 1: all smiling while he was in bed in the hospital.
- 9:20Speaker 1: We still don't know if that was a real picture
- 9:24Speaker 1: because the Kentucky government came out yesterday and said this
- 9:29Speaker 1: is the governor of Kentucky, that he had received two
- 9:32Speaker 1: calls from agencies that McConnell was dead, and we haven't
- 9:38Speaker 1: heard McConnell speak. Oh the drama continues. And oh, update
- 9:44Speaker 1: on Lindsey graham Man. We haven't gotten that toxicology report
- 9:49Speaker 1: back yet. It's taken a long time. But let me
- 9:52Speaker 1: tell you something. When you sign your insurance policy, oh

- 11:08Speaker 1: Senator Republican Mitch mcconnoe of Kentucky. Remember we saw a
- 11:12Speaker 1: video recently was being carried out on a gurney uh
- 11:16Speaker 1: and taken to the er of a hospital in early June.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Nothing has been said about his condition. Then, all of
- 11:23Speaker 1: a sudden, when people were saying, hey, what's going on here?
- 11:27Speaker 1: What's going on here? The Washington Post published a photo
- 11:31Speaker 1: of him sitting up in his hospital bed, smiling next
- 11:35Speaker 1: to his wife's of Homer Transportation Secretary.
- 11:38Speaker 2: A lot of people said that that.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Photo looks like it's ai man, It's like creative minute.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Nobody would be smiling that much.
- 11:45Speaker 4: By the way, how.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Come he's not talking? Well?
- 11:48Speaker 1: Now we add to the controversy, the governor of Kentucky
- 11:55Speaker 1: Besher thought maybe to be a Democratic presidential Ken says
- 12:01Speaker 1: he received two calls from agencies that McConnell is dead.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Now I could see possibly one call. You're wrong, that's
- 12:11Speaker 1: happened before.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Report.
- 12:13Speaker 1: No, no, I'm alive too. We've yet to hear him.
- 12:18Speaker 1: His staff says, oh, no, no, no. The senator will
- 12:21Speaker 1: soon be back on the floor of the US Senate.
- 12:23Speaker 1: He'll be taking care of business. But this almost seems
- 12:27Speaker 1: like it's a much bigger Tom Kaine Junior case because
- 12:30Speaker 1: it involves the US Senate, and obviously every senator counts.
- 12:36Speaker 1: The division between Democrats and Republicans is so small. So, Larry,
- 12:41Speaker 1: what's your observation of that, because imagine your governor says
- 12:46Speaker 1: he gets two calls that you're dead, and he can't
- 12:50Speaker 1: seem to get an explanation as to why that transpired.
- 12:54Speaker 3: It surprises me that Basher said that, because he's the
- 12:57Speaker 3: same guy. Yeah, I mean here and so I It
- 13:00Speaker 3: really kind of shocks me that he said that, because
- 13:01Speaker 3: that was just irresponsible. But Mitch McConnell doctors say he's
- 13:06Speaker 3: in rehab and he's going through rehabilitation because of the fall.
- 13:10Speaker 3: But they say he has no other signs of a
- 13:13Speaker 3: concussion or a stroke or a heart attack or any
- 13:15Speaker 3: of those things. So unless the doctors are lying, I
- 13:18Speaker 3: think he's going to be Okay.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Say a few words, you know, just say, you know,
- 13:23Speaker 1: answer one question. Let people see. Although this leads us
- 13:26Speaker 1: to the passing of Lindsey Graham, he was the villain
- 13:31Speaker 1: to Putin and Russia. I didn't know this, but upon
- 13:34Speaker 1: his passing found out that there was a warrant issue
- 13:37Speaker 1: for his arrests by Russian twenty twenty three that if
- 13:42Speaker 1: he would ever venture into an area where they had
- 13:44Speaker 1: to say that they were going to take them man
- 13:46Speaker 1: and put them in the gulag. And I think you
- 13:50Speaker 1: had to check. They've delayed his wake. They've delayed, delaying
- 13:54Speaker 1: out of the body and the Capitol rotunda. Remember BB
- 13:58Speaker 1: was going to come pay respects to his friend. I
- 14:00Speaker 1: understand that, but canceled the trip because it has been delayed.
- 14:03Speaker 1: But I thought the FBI going to his home twice
- 14:06Speaker 1: the night of his passing and in the following day.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And then we were told that the Washington Medical Examiner
- 14:12Speaker 1: had done blood tests and you know, some tests to
- 14:16Speaker 1: see if there was any foreign substance going through his
- 14:20Speaker 1: veins and artists, especially when the Russians involved. You never
- 14:23Speaker 1: never know, Larry, what's the update on that.
- 14:26Speaker 3: I don't think that there's any update on what you're
- 14:29Speaker 3: talking about. I think the conspiracy theory is just that
- 14:32Speaker 3: it's conspiracy theory. He will be laid to rest at
- 14:35Speaker 3: the end of this month. One of the problems they're
- 14:38Speaker 3: having is listen to this. This is how well much
- 14:41Speaker 3: of us loved. Democrats and Republicans both want to go.
- 14:45Speaker 3: World leaders are asking to go. He is going to be,
- 14:49Speaker 3: you know, at the cathedral in Washington, d C. Which
- 14:52Speaker 3: has put many presidents to rest. He's going to go there.
- 14:55Speaker 3: They're going to have two one in South Carolina and
- 14:57Speaker 3: one here, and one of the problems is just getting
- 14:59Speaker 3: everything arranged. That's what they claim, at least. I don't
- 15:04Speaker 3: buy into the conspiracy only because the doctors were pretty
- 15:08Speaker 3: adamant about what happened.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Understood.
- 15:10Speaker 1: But if he liked sushi, I would have to revisit
- 15:13Speaker 1: that because, as you know, Putin gets all of his
- 15:15Speaker 1: political enemies by tainting this sushi.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Well, speaking of conspiracy theories, there are some about the fires.
- 15:21Speaker 7: I have a conspiracy theory about the Canadian fires. That
- 15:25Speaker 7: they were actually set by China, especially since they were
- 15:28Speaker 7: able to fly that weather balloon quote unquote over the
- 15:31Speaker 7: entire country before somebody decided to shoot it down.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Well that's really slow acting. Whatever that hinsidiary was, and
- 15:39Speaker 3: said to your device.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I'm a Japanese in World War two, wanted to start
- 15:43Speaker 1: fires in Washington and Oregon. They send balloons over. I'm
- 15:47Speaker 1: not gonna discount that.
- 15:48Speaker 3: I'm sorry, conspiracy, I.
- 15:51Speaker 4: Get it, Curtis.
- 15:52Speaker 8: You cannot be more hopelessly wrong on the Canadian wildfires.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Members of the G seven.
- 15:58Speaker 8: Have been going after Canada for years to build up
- 16:00Speaker 8: their firefighting equipment and address this. So it's not just
- 16:05Speaker 8: the US. Others have been. Canada just doesn't do it.
- 16:09Speaker 8: You're right, they're remote, but they have absolutely no national
- 16:12Speaker 8: firefighting system.
- 16:13Speaker 1: For him, all right, so let's hit him help them temporarily.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Carney inherited this. We know Trudeau probably did nothing. Trudeau Junior,
- 16:21Speaker 1: he's too busy with who's that You want to kiss
- 16:24Speaker 1: a girl with a Katie Katy Kerry. Yeah, yeah, he's
- 16:28Speaker 1: copulating and apparently fornicating with her.
- 16:31Speaker 2: I understand, but come on, you.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Know, rather than annex Canada, which Trump suggests that how
- 16:36Speaker 1: about we just helped him because these fires are causing
- 16:40Speaker 1: me embarrassment of having to get buck naked in my
- 16:44Speaker 1: whole way and take all my class to you.
- 16:46Speaker 4: You know this goes back to you.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Now, let's get the Larry Kowski in for Daria Alpinger
- 16:51Speaker 3: with the nine to thirty news.
- 16:53Speaker 9: Hey, Larry, good morning, Good morning, gentlemen.
- 16:55Speaker 10: We have seventy degrees under Sunday skies at nine thirty
- 16:59Speaker 10: and eighteen year old old woman reported in stable condition
- 17:02Speaker 10: at King's County Hospital with a gunshot wound to the
- 17:04Speaker 10: chest after she tried to resist an armed per snatcher
- 17:08Speaker 10: late last night. Please say it happened on the platform
- 17:11Speaker 10: at the President Street Medgar Evers College subway station. The
- 17:14Speaker 10: attacker fled on foot with her purse, which was later recovered.
- 17:18Speaker 10: City health officials confirming a third death in the Legionnaire's
- 17:21Speaker 10: disease outbreak on the Upper East Side. Still, they say
- 17:24Speaker 10: the number of new cases has fallen sharply, indicating that
- 17:28Speaker 10: the likely source of the outbreak has been eliminated. Eight
- 17:31Speaker 10: people remain hospitalized as of last night. Tensions continue to
- 17:36Speaker 10: rise in the Middle East as the US launches retaliatory
- 17:39Speaker 10: air strikes against Iran following the death of three American
- 17:42Speaker 10: service members at a base in Jordan. It comes as
- 17:45Speaker 10: a rand Supreme leader vows to widen the war if
- 17:48Speaker 10: the US continues to attack his country. And it's the
- 17:51Speaker 10: start of a new trading week on Wall Street.
- 17:53Speaker 9: With stocks moving modestly higher. Now Industrials is starting with
- 17:58Speaker 9: a gain of about one hundred with sixty seven points,
- 18:01Speaker 9: the S and P five hundred is up forty two,
- 18:03Speaker 9: and then Astak gaining two hundred and thirteen. Our next
- 18:07Speaker 9: news at ten, I'm Larry Kowsky on sevent ten wor.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Well the World Cup is over. In what a wonderful
- 18:14Speaker 3: experience it was. I see nothing, nothing but positives. How
- 18:18Speaker 3: does Curtis feel about it? Well, you can hear him
- 18:21Speaker 3: in the background. He's choking. We'll talk about it when
- 18:25Speaker 3: we come back. And our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back,
- 18:30Speaker 3: featuring live performances by Benson Boone, The Goo Goo Dolls,
- 18:34Speaker 3: Kenny Chesney, Lany Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Wheezer, and much much more.
- 18:39Speaker 3: September eighteenth and nineteenth at Timobile Arena in Las Vegas.
- 18:43Speaker 3: It's two nights, one stage, and now is your chance
- 18:47Speaker 3: to buy tickets at AXS dot com. That's AXS dot com.
- 18:52Speaker 3: You gotta get them right away because they're gonna sell out.
- 18:55Speaker 4: Around the world.
- 18:56Speaker 3: America is getting high marks for the hosting the World
- 19:00Speaker 3: Cup and how it was presented. Security was perfect, the
- 19:04Speaker 3: arenas were great, getting in and out after all kinds
- 19:08Speaker 3: of problems were predicted were fine all across America. And
- 19:13Speaker 3: so they're getting high marks just about from everyone, including
- 19:17Speaker 3: from FIFA itself. But the problem is that they expected
- 19:22Speaker 3: thirty point five billion dollars. That's what FIFA promised, and
- 19:27Speaker 3: that's what the expectations were. We fell far short of that.
- 19:32Speaker 3: But the cost of pr is incalculable because almost everyone
- 19:39Speaker 3: we're visited here from other countries, we're doing videos praising America,
- 19:46Speaker 3: saying they had been lied to about America. They didn't
- 19:49Speaker 3: see the violence, everything was wonderful and they just went away.
- 19:55Speaker 3: And they've been interviewed as as late as yesterday getting
- 19:58Speaker 3: on planes with this wonderful feeling about America that they
- 20:02Speaker 3: I hope they spread to their native lands. But here's
- 20:07Speaker 3: a for instance, the expected travel here was only up
- 20:13Speaker 3: zero point two percent.
- 20:15Speaker 4: It was almost flat.
- 20:16Speaker 3: It wasn't a whole big influx of tourists that we
- 20:20Speaker 3: had expected. And some of the cities complained as well,
- 20:24Speaker 3: except the host cities like New York and Los Angeles,
- 20:28Speaker 3: where a lot of the games were played, did extremely well.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Some of the other.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Cities, they say they felt a little bit short. But
- 20:36Speaker 3: when you put all this together, if you put everything together,
- 20:38Speaker 3: by the way, hotels loved it, restaurants loved it. Stores
- 20:44Speaker 3: in the area they loved it. Some of them were
- 20:46Speaker 3: up two hundred and fifty percent over the same time
- 20:50Speaker 3: from years past. Overall, I think it was a big plus.
- 20:55Speaker 3: But it was a big plus mostly because people fell
- 20:59Speaker 3: in love with America and you saw them on the
- 21:02Speaker 3: news and you saw them on social media. So they're
- 21:05Speaker 3: going back with nothing but positive reviews.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Good did they leave yet? By the way, you know
- 21:13Speaker 1: some of them are going to be staying behind now.
- 21:16Speaker 1: It could before they discovered love and all the wrong places.
- 21:19Speaker 1: They don't want to go back to their country. They
- 21:21Speaker 1: want to stay here. But I'll wait until the end
- 21:25Speaker 1: of the month to see the plus negative in terms
- 21:27Speaker 1: of how much revenue was generated, how much did it cost.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Uskad Man, I saw how much it was costing us
- 21:33Speaker 1: see in New York City, but least over time and
- 21:35Speaker 1: over time for everything else.
- 21:37Speaker 2: But as long as it made people like.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Natalie feel good, who were locals who loved soccer, not
- 21:43Speaker 1: just when there's World Cup, but twenty four to seven,
- 21:45Speaker 1: three sixty five.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Oh my god, you were floating on cloud nine.
- 21:49Speaker 5: No, I you know what. I enjoyed the games. I
- 21:53Speaker 5: enjoyed the tourists. They were funny.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Yeah, they were they were great.
- 21:57Speaker 5: I missed the people from Norway a lot.
- 22:00Speaker 3: It's so funny because I you're right, it was bicultural.
- 22:03Speaker 3: It was across the ocean because we learned to love
- 22:06Speaker 3: Norway I did, and they learned to love us.
- 22:08Speaker 5: Absolutely, they learned to love ranch.
- 22:11Speaker 6: And yeah, that bothered me that that's the thing that
- 22:15Speaker 6: the takeaway from America was ranch.
- 22:17Speaker 2: But whatever ranch dressing.
- 22:20Speaker 1: They acted as if they had discovered the Golden fleece.
- 22:24Speaker 1: You know we're talking Ulysses right the movie Batcha. They
- 22:28Speaker 1: discovered the Golden fleece. Ranch dressing is what they were
- 22:32Speaker 1: smuggling out in their luggage going back to their country.
- 22:35Speaker 5: So largely I didn't see anything bad about this.
- 22:38Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Like maybe the numbers weren't what they were hoping.
- 22:41Speaker 6: But I think, as you said, it's gonna have a
- 22:44Speaker 6: ripple effect later on, which will be nice.
- 22:46Speaker 5: Just the good PR was great and we knew what
- 22:49Speaker 5: they got hurt.
- 22:50Speaker 4: We needed that good PR by the way.
- 22:52Speaker 5: Exactly, who doesn't you always need good PR. So I
- 22:54Speaker 5: don't know. I thought it was a win for everybody.
- 22:56Speaker 5: And if you didn't like soccer, fine, you know, there's
- 22:58Speaker 5: lots of other games to watch, Okay.
- 23:00Speaker 3: I think there's people like myself who grew to like soccer.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I would never have sat and watched that as much
- 23:07Speaker 3: soccer as I watched if it wasn't for the World
- 23:09Speaker 3: Cup in America.
- 23:10Speaker 6: And I think I explained early on that you know,
- 23:15Speaker 6: America isn't quite at the level yet. Our US team
- 23:18Speaker 6: is great, but they are not at the level of
- 23:21Speaker 6: world soccer.
- 23:22Speaker 5: And if you just watched Premier League or you know,
- 23:25Speaker 5: the EuroLeague, or you will get a different appreciation for
- 23:30Speaker 5: the sport.
- 23:30Speaker 1: We're on their way, though, Stop trying to spread.
- 23:36Speaker 2: So let me get this straight.
- 23:37Speaker 1: So all these countries they birth their children, read the
- 23:41Speaker 1: first World or third World to play soccer right away,
- 23:44Speaker 1: they're kicking a ball around in the infirmary right wherever
- 23:48Speaker 1: they're birthed.
- 23:49Speaker 2: We don't do that here. Our sports smash mouthed American football.
- 23:53Speaker 1: It's superseded baseball, which used to be our national past
- 23:56Speaker 1: time in basketball.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Those are our sports. Let them have their sport.
- 24:00Speaker 1: What why do we feel that we have to Oh,
- 24:03Speaker 1: we gotta be at the top of the game.
- 24:05Speaker 2: It sucking.
- 24:06Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. Now tell you who are
- 24:08Speaker 1: the bad boys here? The Argentines. Right, for a while,
- 24:12Speaker 1: they owe messy MESSI to savior. What the end of
- 24:15Speaker 1: this game that they got I mean trampled on their goalie, right,
- 24:21Speaker 1: The Spaniard goalie didn't make one stop in the whole
- 24:26Speaker 1: game because the Argentines couldn't get a shot on goal.
- 24:30Speaker 1: So at the end of the game, what are the
- 24:32Speaker 1: Argentines do? Because they're soul losers, they start fighting on
- 24:35Speaker 1: the pitch, which was not a good look, not messy,
- 24:38Speaker 1: but some of the other members. Then after they came
- 24:41Speaker 1: out and they went through the line of march up
- 24:45Speaker 1: into the podium where our president was a Prime minister
- 24:48Speaker 1: of Canada and the president of Mexico. Thank god, every
- 24:52Speaker 1: player everyone involved shook everybody's hands. There was a lot
- 24:55Speaker 1: of solidarity. We were fearful that some of the Spaniards
- 24:58Speaker 1: who don't like would not shake Trump's sand, that I
- 25:02Speaker 1: would have created an international ship. But you know, when
- 25:05Speaker 1: the Argentines went back into the clubhouse, they wouldn't do
- 25:08Speaker 1: any interviews.
- 25:10Speaker 5: Yeah, that was in That was poor sportsmanship.
- 25:12Speaker 6: But I don't know if you saw it at the end,
- 25:14Speaker 6: you know Messi from Argin crying, you know, he was crying,
- 25:18Speaker 6: but the young nineteen year old star of Spain and
- 25:23Speaker 6: Messi on the pitch together giving a big hug, and
- 25:28Speaker 6: it was like, you know, passing the torch kind of moment.
- 25:32Speaker 3: But the wonderful thing is don't you just like the
- 25:35Speaker 3: when he was standing there just looking up at all
- 25:38Speaker 3: of the fans and they were chanting.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard the guy the kids from Spain, the
- 25:44Speaker 1: kids from Spain who said, yeah, my father was fifteen,
- 25:47Speaker 1: my mother was sixteen when they had me. I started
- 25:50Speaker 1: kicking a soccer ball right away. That doesn't happen here
- 25:53Speaker 1: in this country. Keep it in your country, Take it back,
- 25:57Speaker 1: all of you go back. I want my city back,
- 25:59Speaker 1: I want time to get back on track.
- 26:02Speaker 5: I'm just glad we really don't have to talk about it. Anymore.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Oh, I listen, I really am gonna miss it. I
- 26:09Speaker 3: thought it was just a wonderful experience. It was great
- 26:13Speaker 3: for this country, and I'm glad I happened. And I
- 26:15Speaker 3: didn't know what to expect, but I think that the
- 26:18Speaker 3: vast majority of Americans are happy that this happened.
- 26:21Speaker 4: There might be one exception.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Oh you know what, Larry, you can tell Eagles fans
- 26:26Speaker 1: and Giant fans and Jet fans. I forget American smash
- 26:29Speaker 1: mount football. We need to be following what minor league soccer?
- 26:36Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Up next, it's the anniversary of the Apollo eleventh moon landing.
- 26:41Speaker 1: But more importantly, you know the Save Act. There's so
- 26:45Speaker 1: many parts of that Save Act that are good. Like
- 26:47Speaker 1: you have to show a photo ID to vote? Right,
- 26:51Speaker 1: makes sense? Well, guess what Harlem Garden is doing. You're
- 26:55Speaker 1: not gonna believe this. If Olive Garden can force you
- 26:59Speaker 1: to show a picture ID to eat all the pasta,
- 27:03Speaker 1: you can he We can't do it and get you
- 27:06Speaker 1: to vote.
- 27:09Speaker 3: It was fifty seven years ago on this day when
- 27:13Speaker 3: eleven words were spoken that will echo through history on
- 27:18Speaker 3: all aran.
- 27:22Speaker 1: On.
- 27:26Speaker 3: That was Neil Armstrong after he took the first step
- 27:29Speaker 3: any human has made on to the lunar surface. He
- 27:35Speaker 3: was also traveling with Michael Collins who was the command
- 27:39Speaker 3: module pilot who didn't go to get to go to
- 27:41Speaker 3: the Moon, and of course Buzz Aldrin, who was the
- 27:44Speaker 3: lunar module pilot. And we're still waiting to go back
- 27:49Speaker 3: to the Moon. They had another couple of missions, one
- 27:52Speaker 3: that went south, and since then nobody has traveled back.
- 27:55Speaker 3: But we have one plan coming up. But though I
- 27:58Speaker 3: remember being in grade school and that happening and how
- 28:03Speaker 3: and what an important moment that is. But we still
- 28:06Speaker 3: look back on it as one of the greatest human
- 28:09Speaker 3: achievements in.
- 28:11Speaker 2: History, no doubt.
- 28:12Speaker 1: But there are some who believe that was all staged,
- 28:15Speaker 1: as you know, like in everything in life, you have
- 28:17Speaker 1: your conspiratorialists. But when does the new Tella spaceship actually
- 28:24Speaker 1: end up depositing astronauts on the Moon, you know, because
- 28:28Speaker 1: we get off to it's all excited that, oh, we
- 28:32Speaker 1: circled the Moon. Like when are we actually going to
- 28:35Speaker 1: have these Nutella sponsored astronauts step down on the lunar
- 28:41Speaker 1: surface and declare it to belong to the United States,
- 28:46Speaker 1: Because you know, the Red Chinese are moving they want.
- 28:49Speaker 2: To be there first. We've already been there, as.
- 28:52Speaker 1: You pointed out, how come we have in staked our
- 28:55Speaker 1: claim to it and said the moon is ours.
- 28:58Speaker 2: The race from Mars is still to be determined.
- 29:02Speaker 3: We do not have a date specific. They're saying late
- 29:06Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven or early twenty twenty eight.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Maybe they're waiting for further sponsorship than just Nutella. But
- 29:14Speaker 1: speaking of sponsors, you know how the country is in
- 29:18Speaker 1: favor of the Save Act of President Trump, especially that
- 29:21Speaker 1: part of it that says in order to vote, you
- 29:24Speaker 1: should have to show a photo ID and official photo ID.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Most of America in Greece with that eighty percent right.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Olive Gardens that fake Italian restaurant, and unfortunately too many
- 29:37Speaker 1: people around the heartland of America thinks it is a
- 29:39Speaker 1: real Italian restaurant. Now has imposed a check sim balance
- 29:45Speaker 1: so that when you want to come in and eat
- 29:47Speaker 1: all the pasta you can eat, to sign up for
- 29:51Speaker 1: that program, you have to show a photo idea of yourself.
- 29:56Speaker 1: What is that program? Because I know you love Olive Garden,
- 29:58Speaker 1: not being Itali.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Like all the pasta you can eat, but it's thirteen
- 30:02Speaker 3: visits for one hundred bucks that's how much it costs,
- 30:06Speaker 3: one hundred dollars. So what they what people have been
- 30:08Speaker 3: doing is getting one and then just giving it to
- 30:11Speaker 3: other members of their family, just.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Like sharing your Netflix coat.
- 30:14Speaker 4: You know, it's exactly the same thing.
- 30:17Speaker 2: So it's Steaverery right. It is a form of thievery.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, when Olive Garden has to do this
- 30:23Speaker 1: to im post And by the way, that's not a
- 30:25Speaker 1: bad buy.
- 30:26Speaker 2: How many visits all the piss man, that's a lot.
- 30:29Speaker 1: So if you're running marathons, right, you know what you
- 30:32Speaker 1: got all of a sudden, carbup, carbup, that's.
- 30:35Speaker 2: A great deal.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Oh by the way, Natalie, Natalie says that the video
- 30:39Speaker 1: that I did this morning dishing and dismissing soccer and
- 30:44Speaker 1: saying oofah, thank you, get out of my country.
- 30:47Speaker 2: I want it back is blowing up as we speak.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Is that correct? Now?
- 30:51Speaker 6: It is both sides, including the boomer haters. They're like that,
- 30:56Speaker 6: that's just the guy, the boomer just yelling about something.
- 31:00Speaker 1: This is democracy, this is How can people contribute to that?
- 31:05Speaker 5: Oh, it's so easy.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Just follow us at seven ten wor on Facebook and Instagram.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Oh so, the name of the Olive Garden pass is
- 31:12Speaker 3: called the never ending Postible.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Does that include the breadsticks because they also have that deal,
- 31:18Speaker 1: you know, all the breadsticks?
- 31:19Speaker 4: You yeah, that that just comes with it.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Why would people in the heartland of America think that
- 31:25Speaker 2: Olive Garden is a real Italian restaurant?
- 31:28Speaker 1: I was at the feast yesterday, right, Julio Williams Broke.
- 31:32Speaker 2: You saw the pictures.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Right. You imagine if I said, hey, Olive Garden on me, yes, say,
- 31:37Speaker 1: I'd eat.
- 31:39Speaker 2: An air sandwich.
- 31:40Speaker 3: For most of America, for non Italians that live in
- 31:44Speaker 3: the suburbs, Olive Garden is Italian enough?
- 31:48Speaker 2: Oh god?
- 31:51Speaker 1: What was about Garden? I know, I figure you what
- 31:55Speaker 1: You're German and I rich and figure what it was.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Probably you probably think it's Muller's macrorom me right, No.
- 32:03Speaker 4: I don't think it's Mueller's Macaroni. I don't know what
- 32:05Speaker 4: it is. I just know it's good.
