Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, we're playing her today. We're down one player. Natalie
- 0:03Speaker 1: Vaca went through knee surgery yesterday. We've been talking about
- 0:07Speaker 1: it over the last couple of weeks that this was
- 0:08Speaker 1: going to happen. She went through it yesterday, and we
- 0:12Speaker 1: sent out a message earlier today to see if she'd
- 0:15Speaker 1: be up and she could be on the show early.
- 0:17Speaker 1: But you know, she just went through surgery, and so
- 0:20Speaker 1: thank God that she is resting. We'll try to get
- 0:23Speaker 1: her on somewhere through the show, but filling in today
- 0:28Speaker 1: like just yesterday. The verbose Chris Switzer, I thought you
- 0:36Speaker 1: might jump in. That's often how people would describe me verbos. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 0:40Speaker 1: I think he's going to make an extra effort to
- 0:43Speaker 1: speak today. Curtis.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I remember yesterday he was making major progress.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I've given him the nickname the Quiet Storm in honor
- 0:52Speaker 2: of two of the greatest radio personalities of all time,
- 0:55Speaker 2: Frankie Crocker and Vaughan Hopper. That was the name of
- 0:58Speaker 2: this show at night WBLS when it was the number
- 1:02Speaker 2: one R and B station in the nation. As you know,
- 1:05Speaker 2: he's on loan from the March Simone Show. I asked
- 1:08Speaker 2: you ask Mark he knows all about radio. He'll tell
- 1:10Speaker 2: you about these two guys. Yeah, well you all pumped
- 1:14Speaker 2: up yesterday now with your new name, the Quiet Storm.
- 1:18Speaker 2: See we're telling you you're quiet. And what does he do?
- 1:20Speaker 2: As a typical gen Z.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Got the reverse?
- 1:23Speaker 2: I got a zag? Yeah, the reverse? You notice that.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Well it's not let's just count the words. He said
- 1:30Speaker 1: about a dozen words right now. You just said about
- 1:32Speaker 1: seven hundred. So let's let's put you to the test here.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Natalie obviously recovering from the knee surgery.
- 1:40Speaker 1: But do you play power ball?
- 1:42Speaker 2: Because I don't, Larry obviously does, Natalie does, and probably
- 1:46Speaker 2: most of the people who work at iHeart and some
- 1:48Speaker 2: capacity do. It just seems everybody went, well, the big
- 1:52Speaker 2: prize is a billion dollars, right, Yeah.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I'm driving in a Jersey turnpike. I get I'm coming
- 1:59Speaker 1: up close to the Lincoln Tunnel and there it is
- 2:00Speaker 1: on the sign. I check every day to see where
- 2:04Speaker 1: the Powerball and the other one is and how much
- 2:07Speaker 1: they are up for. And they said just one billion,
- 2:10Speaker 1: one b it said, And I checked it out online
- 2:12Speaker 1: and it is one billion dollars now if you take
- 2:16Speaker 1: the cash option and not take the payments out over
- 2:19Speaker 1: thirty years, you end up with four hundred and thirty
- 2:22Speaker 1: three million. I mean, who can live on that? Seriously?
- 2:27Speaker 1: So that's four and thirty three million, and the chances
- 2:30Speaker 1: of winning if you were to buy one ticket, like
- 2:32Speaker 1: that's the way Natalie does it. She just buys one
- 2:34Speaker 1: ticket for two dollars is one in two hundred and
- 2:38Speaker 1: ninety two million, two hundred and one thousand, three hundred
- 2:42Speaker 1: and thirty eight. And if you were to buy two tickets,
- 2:45Speaker 1: you can cut that in half. It would only be
- 2:48Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million, So you get two tickets.
- 2:52Speaker 1: But I play all the time.
- 2:54Speaker 2: All right, since you're a player, and most of our
- 2:56Speaker 2: listeners probably are. This phenomenon power ball. It seemed to
- 3:02Speaker 2: me first just came. Each state had its own lotto,
- 3:05Speaker 2: and they always told you, oh, it's gonna raise money
- 3:07Speaker 2: for education, public education.
- 3:09Speaker 1: That's how they sold it lotto.
- 3:11Speaker 2: I always wondered about that, how much of it actually
- 3:13Speaker 2: goes to public education and not the bureaucracy that it's
- 3:17Speaker 2: paid to support this, But Powerball, if I understand it correctly,
- 3:21Speaker 2: it's like one of these first lottos to spread their
- 3:25Speaker 2: tentacles all over America to get state after the state enrolled.
- 3:29Speaker 2: That's the reason that the jackpot could keep soaring. So
- 3:33Speaker 2: it's not just New Jersey, it's not just New York.
- 3:36Speaker 2: It's probably dozens of states now that have signed on.
- 3:39Speaker 2: So you got all of America like Powerball, right, and
- 3:43Speaker 2: that's how they can have the huge jackpots. But and
- 3:46Speaker 2: it's Mega millions too, and now Mega Millions. It's really
- 3:49Speaker 2: funny because Mega Millions was falling behind Powerball, that's the
- 3:53Speaker 2: competition those two and Mega Millions was falling behind, and
- 3:56Speaker 2: they thought to themselves, oh, it's.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Because our jackpots aren't big enough. So now to get
- 4:00Speaker 1: a Mega Millions ticket, it costs five dollars for each
- 4:03Speaker 1: one instead of two dollars. And now they get that,
- 4:07Speaker 1: they usually get the bigger jackpots. So this is pretty exciting.
- 4:11Speaker 1: There's a billion dollars.
- 4:12Speaker 2: When I walk into a convenience store, grocery store, candy store,
- 4:17Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, bodega's, and I see
- 4:20Speaker 2: that the line for people just buying the basics milk
- 4:23Speaker 2: and bread is almost like one or two people. And
- 4:26Speaker 2: then the special machine that they get hooked up from
- 4:29Speaker 2: the state, it's like twelve, fifteen, twenty people that.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Happened already, because it's funny. I went yesterday and I
- 4:35Speaker 1: was expecting to see that. I went to wa wah wah,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and I was expecting to see that, and I got
- 4:40Speaker 1: right on the machine. There wasn't a big line, but
- 4:43Speaker 1: I remember in the past they'd be huge lines to
- 4:47Speaker 1: wait to get the power ball. I think people are
- 4:49Speaker 1: getting used to these now, it's like. And also you
- 4:52Speaker 1: can buy them online, which you couldn't do before, so
- 4:56Speaker 1: it's going to be fascinating. I mean, how high will
- 4:58Speaker 1: this go? Which are this scratch offs here? Because what
- 5:01Speaker 1: I see is people standing around with like a dime
- 5:04Speaker 1: in their hand, just scratching off, scratching off, scratch. They
- 5:08Speaker 1: seem to have a formula and mine. They seem to
- 5:11Speaker 1: have a relationship with the person they're buying it from,
- 5:14Speaker 1: whether it's a regular newsstand, candy store, bolldega grocery store,
- 5:19Speaker 1: you know, where they wish one another luck, you know,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and always the store points out how many winners they've
- 5:26Speaker 1: had in the past.
- 5:27Speaker 2: It always like to say that, yeah, you want to
- 5:29Speaker 2: buy here because look at all the winners we've had.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Like there's this guy in North Carolina who was playing
- 5:33Speaker 2: their local lottery there again, it was supposedly set up
- 5:36Speaker 2: to help education. He won the second time. It's in
- 5:40Speaker 2: the New York Post. The second time in two years
- 5:43Speaker 2: he won one hundred thousand dollars on the scratch off.
- 5:47Speaker 2: He walks home with seventy two thousand after taxes. And
- 5:52Speaker 2: yet it was two years ago he won the two
- 5:55Speaker 2: million dollar prize in North Carolina and walked away with
- 5:58Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty eight thousand.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Now that's a big chunk out of that.
- 6:02Speaker 2: That's more than fifty percent they took in taxis How
- 6:06Speaker 2: do you end up becoming a multiple winner? I always wondered,
- 6:09Speaker 2: if they're not manipulating this to get more in money
- 6:12Speaker 2: in the pop more and more money in the pot.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Well I don't. I think that they have enough money.
- 6:17Speaker 1: They don't have to manipulate it to get the more money.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I think that they're will be look at they have
- 6:22Speaker 1: the golden goose right now. Why are they gonna screw
- 6:24Speaker 1: with it? They're not gonna screw with this. It's amazing.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I'm looking at the I'm looking at the top ten
- 6:29Speaker 1: powerball jackpots and Mega Million's jackpots. This billion dollars doesn't
- 6:34Speaker 1: make the top ten doesn't make the top ten. No, no,
- 6:38Speaker 1: we're the biggest was over two billion. That was back
- 6:41Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. And of course somebody in California
- 6:44Speaker 1: won of the top ten. California's won three. Nobody from
- 6:50Speaker 1: this area has ever won one, which means we're due. Yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 1: you keep thinking that.
- 6:56Speaker 2: You keep thinking of that, Larry as you line up
- 6:59Speaker 2: to get now not only your Power Bowl ticket, but
- 7:02Speaker 2: also what your Mega million ticket?
- 7:04Speaker 3: Right?
- 7:04Speaker 1: No, I don't get Mega million. It's five bucks now.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And there's the local lotto, all the different games they have,
- 7:11Speaker 2: the state lotto.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Then for a while there they had something called Kino
- 7:15Speaker 2: or something like that, where you could walk into a
- 7:17Speaker 2: gin mill and like every half hour there was a
- 7:21Speaker 2: new drawing, just like being addicted to crack.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah. It's funny though, because people say to me, why
- 7:27Speaker 1: are you playing power Ball? You're just throwing away your money.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I got, like, it's two bucks. It's two bucks for
- 7:33Speaker 1: a chance at a billion dollars. I'll take that. I'll
- 7:36Speaker 1: put two dollars in for a billion dollars. Of course
- 7:38Speaker 1: I spend more than that. But Natalie's really good about it.
- 7:42Speaker 1: She only spends two dollars that's one ticket. She's disciplined.
- 7:46Speaker 1: One ticket. I'm not said, and we have not encouraged
- 7:49Speaker 1: Chris to get on board half or speak. And as
- 7:52Speaker 1: a matter of fact, here he goes wait a second
- 7:54Speaker 1: way to state he's going to talk. I played, I
- 7:57Speaker 1: played on on Saturday, I played, and I just I'll
- 8:01Speaker 1: play tonight. You are, Yeah, how much are you gonna spend?
- 8:05Speaker 1: I'll buy a couple of tickets, not a lot, two
- 8:07Speaker 1: or three. Nobody ever admits to how many power bulls?
- 8:11Speaker 1: How man, did you buy one? Two? It's like ten? No,
- 8:15Speaker 1: I ten, but come away with forty hours. Yeah, I
- 8:19Speaker 1: got a ticket, you know.
- 8:20Speaker 2: And I'm trying to figure this out with so many
- 8:23Speaker 2: tickets sold. It's not like you have a formula, like
- 8:27Speaker 2: you know you're going to the horse track and yeah,
- 8:30Speaker 2: you know, you have the racing form and you figure
- 8:32Speaker 2: out stats and past races. But there are guys who
- 8:35Speaker 2: have been online who tell me they have a formula,
- 8:37Speaker 2: what time to arrive, what to ask for when to
- 8:41Speaker 2: ask for it. If there's a certain guy behind the
- 8:44Speaker 2: counter that they don't know, not to buy the ticket.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Ten They got this whole thing worked out. And I'm
- 8:50Speaker 2: saying you spend most of your day thinking about this.
- 8:52Speaker 2: You see damn right?
- 8:54Speaker 1: You know, maybe there is a way. I don't think
- 8:56Speaker 1: there's any possible way they have that's set up, but
- 8:58Speaker 1: maybe some of the PEO people that are listening right now,
- 9:01Speaker 1: that play power Ball or play Mega Millions do have
- 9:03Speaker 1: a formula. So go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us
- 9:06Speaker 1: a talkback. You could win a Curtis Leewa and Larry
- 9:09Speaker 1: Menti in the Morning t shirt that's going to be
- 9:10Speaker 1: awarded every day to the favorite talkback of the morning.
- 9:14Speaker 1: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
- 9:17Speaker 1: to set a preset for seven to ten wor don't
- 9:20Speaker 1: forget the best talkback of the week takes on the
- 9:23Speaker 1: Sea Crane Radio for the listener who demands better Sea
- 9:28Speaker 1: Crane radios with legendary reception. And my feeling is, and
- 9:33Speaker 1: you said this too, I got a feel in a
- 9:35Speaker 1: lot of people that listen and play the Power Back.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Oh there's no doubt. They may not want to admit it,
- 9:40Speaker 2: but I know they do.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Now.
- 9:41Speaker 2: The other thing that I've noticed from our broadcast, because
- 9:44Speaker 2: we're the only show that talks about AI artificial intelligence,
- 9:47Speaker 2: We're going to give you an update on that at
- 9:49Speaker 2: the end of this shower. But I had a few
- 9:52Speaker 2: people come up to me yesterday as I was jumping
- 9:55Speaker 2: from the streets to the subway, saying, fluck.
- 9:57Speaker 1: The flock, Fluck the flock.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Wow, we're the only ones talking about these flock cameras.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Nobody else, you know, they all talk about the same thing.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Gives me a headache, I'm sorry. Talk radio, for the
- 10:10Speaker 2: most part, is an echo chamber. The same subjects over
- 10:14Speaker 2: and over. To me, the two most important issues that
- 10:18Speaker 2: affect people, no matter what your ideology, no matter what
- 10:21Speaker 2: where you live, rural areas, suburban areas, urban areas, AI,
- 10:26Speaker 2: It's going to impact everybody in a positive and negative
- 10:29Speaker 2: or maybe not at all. And of course, these flock cameras,
- 10:33Speaker 2: as you pointed out Larry the other day, they were everywhere.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Imagine I have people coming up to you to fluck
- 10:38Speaker 2: the flock, and at first I'm wondering, you know, because
- 10:41Speaker 2: my hearing is not that good. Are they cursing me
- 10:44Speaker 2: out like some people do?
- 10:45Speaker 1: You know?
- 10:46Speaker 2: F usely, well, you know you should have dropped out.
- 10:49Speaker 2: But no, they've developed this like fluck the flock, And
- 10:53Speaker 2: they said it was listening to you and Larry you
- 10:55Speaker 2: were describing it. It's just the conversation I was having
- 10:58Speaker 2: with my wife or my Ryan. It's like, these are
- 11:01Speaker 2: the issues that really impact people. Some of these other
- 11:04Speaker 2: talk shows. The Phet text, well, we'll be talking about that,
- 11:08Speaker 2: but that really doesn't impact that many people in New
- 11:10Speaker 2: York City would impact thirteen thousand when implemented.
- 11:13Speaker 1: It's funny you said that, because I heard from a
- 11:15Speaker 1: couple of people that sent emails that they didn't know
- 11:18Speaker 1: at all that this was happening, and they didn't know
- 11:21Speaker 1: it was so pervasive. It's in every single states and
- 11:24Speaker 1: there's thousands of them in New Jersey and New York.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And in case you weren't listening, just to set you
- 11:31Speaker 1: up on what they are, they are surveillance cameras run
- 11:34Speaker 1: by a private company to take your license plates, put
- 11:37Speaker 1: them through AI and they get all this information and
- 11:40Speaker 1: they keep a record of where you've been. And now
- 11:43Speaker 1: it's we can talk more about it. Maybe we'll talk
- 11:46Speaker 1: to you this morning. By the way, it is, but
- 11:48Speaker 1: it's also saved. It's solved a million cases.
- 11:52Speaker 2: This is going to disappoint you. Warwell was a socialist
- 11:56Speaker 2: animal farm.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Well, you want to go back to I've got a
- 12:01Speaker 1: whole lot of research out to you. I'm ready for
- 12:03Speaker 1: you now I was telling you you pointed out, I'm
- 12:06Speaker 1: signed right, that's for sure. All right, let's get your
- 12:12Speaker 1: talk facts one week come back. Also, teachers make a
- 12:17Speaker 1: difference each and every day, and now's your chance to

- 12:31Speaker 1: thousand dollars winners for classroom supplies and resources. Teachers give
- 12:36Speaker 1: you so much. Now it's your turn to give back.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Nominate a teacher now at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers. Well,
- 12:44Speaker 1: if you're up in Yorktown Heights and you have to
- 12:47Speaker 1: happen to be traveling on Route one eighteen and you
- 12:50Speaker 1: see a growing memorial of flowers and pictures and signs,
- 12:55Speaker 1: that's for a twelve year old dog named Luke Shepherd
- 13:00Speaker 1: pard Husky. He was gunned down on August fifth. He
- 13:07Speaker 1: is owned by a homeless guy who is equally loved
- 13:11Speaker 1: in town. Just goes by the name Matt. Everybody there
- 13:14Speaker 1: talks about Matt everybody in Yorktown Heights knows Matt. So
- 13:19Speaker 1: he had the dog in a leash, and the dog
- 13:21Speaker 1: broke broke free, and the dog approached another dog who
- 13:25Speaker 1: was also leashed, and they got into a fight, and
- 13:31Speaker 1: a former NYPD officer then pulled out his gun and
- 13:36Speaker 1: shot the dog dead, shot Luke dead. And since then
- 13:42Speaker 1: there's been calls for justice. There have been civil rights
- 13:47Speaker 1: advocates and dog advocates and animal advocates that have taken
- 13:52Speaker 1: to the streets and had a huge protest last night
- 13:56Speaker 1: as he was charged and showed up at court finally
- 14:01Speaker 1: to be charged. And the former police officer is now
- 14:07Speaker 1: facing charges. His name is James molloy, retired NYPD cop.
- 14:12Speaker 1: He's now facing charges of reckless endangerment in the first
- 14:17Speaker 1: degree and aggravated cruelty to animals and he has to
- 14:22Speaker 1: go back and the protesters say, we're going to be
- 14:25Speaker 1: back here again. We're not going to let this go.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Too many animals are abused, too many animals are killed,
- 14:33Speaker 1: and nobody does anything.
- 14:35Speaker 4: It's really ugly living in the world where animal abusers
- 14:38Speaker 4: just aren't held accountable, and we're tired of it now.
- 14:43Speaker 1: The first time I heard about the story, I thought
- 14:46Speaker 1: to myself. I started looking in all of the reports,
- 14:48Speaker 1: and there's the TV's covered it. And I looked around
- 14:51Speaker 1: and I didn't see Curtis. I thought this was a
- 14:53Speaker 1: Curtius lewd thing. I thought you and Nancy were up there.
- 14:56Speaker 2: But we were celebrating the victory where the cat kill
- 14:59Speaker 2: a after a year of us going to court with
- 15:02Speaker 2: other animal rights activists, was actually sent away for two years,
- 15:05Speaker 2: first time ever in New York State. So we missed it,
- 15:08Speaker 2: but we're gonna catch up. Right by the way, did
- 15:10Speaker 2: the New York City PBA did they show up to
- 15:14Speaker 2: support there? Remember, because this is a crowd of which
- 15:18Speaker 2: I just want to remind the PBA. If you're gonna
- 15:20Speaker 2: support your member, this is gonna be a relentless crowd.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Animal welfare people are relentless still be at every court hearing.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I'm gonna make it a point we go up there.
- 15:31Speaker 2: We checked the memorial, but I don't understand why you
- 15:33Speaker 2: had to shoot the dog. He didn't, That's the whole point.
- 15:36Speaker 1: He didn't. It was reckless endangerment. And you when you
- 15:40Speaker 1: shoot a gun, you know there's a good chance that
- 15:43Speaker 1: the bullet's gonna ricochet. It's gonna hit somebody else, or
- 15:46Speaker 1: if the dog's running down the street. I don't know
- 15:48Speaker 1: exactly what happened, how close the dog was, but my god,
- 15:52Speaker 1: you're putting other people in jeopardy as well. It is
- 15:54Speaker 1: reckless endangerment and it's it's animal abuse. So look, you're
- 15:58Speaker 1: right the way you hear these people and the crowd
- 16:01Speaker 1: that gathered, they're not letting this go. So you'll have
- 16:03Speaker 1: plenty of times to get up there. They're gonna be
- 16:05Speaker 1: glad to see you. Let's get some talkbacks. How people
- 16:09Speaker 1: will only play lotto if it's close to a billion dollars.
- 16:14Speaker 1: So one hundred million wasn't enough. So regular lotto for
- 16:19Speaker 1: a buck only twelve million to one right and you
- 16:23Speaker 1: could win five million dollars six million dollars. That's not enough.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I can never understand people. I've thought about this a
- 16:32Speaker 1: lot myself. I think it's because of the advertising. Once
- 16:36Speaker 1: it hits a certain level, we're talking about it. All
- 16:39Speaker 1: the TV stations will be talking about it. They're going
- 16:41Speaker 1: to be I guarantee you every TV station tonight will
- 16:45Speaker 1: be either live from a budego or they're gonna be
- 16:49Speaker 1: live from a seven to eleven or they're gonna be
- 16:51Speaker 1: live from some place where they're selling lotto tickets. And
- 16:56Speaker 1: as a former TV reporter, I hated that gig because
- 17:00Speaker 1: what else? What new were you going to do? Oh?
- 17:02Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with the money? What are
- 17:04Speaker 1: you gonna do if you win?
- 17:05Speaker 2: And what did they always tell you if if he
- 17:08Speaker 2: happen to be fortunate enough to win.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting, you asked, because they're all going to
- 17:12Speaker 1: give it to charity. And I always thought they're lying.
- 17:16Speaker 1: And so does this talkback.
- 17:17Speaker 5: For those guy bones who play the lotto, and they
- 17:20Speaker 5: lie through their teeth when they say, Oh, if I win,

- 19:29Speaker 8: The president reportedly hiding inside a catering truck to depart
- 19:32Speaker 8: on a military jet instead of Air Force one. ABC

- 20:29Speaker 6: Daria Albinger on seven to ten wor.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Well, thanks, Daria. Donald Trump now has weighed in on
- 20:36Speaker 1: the Pierre de ter a tax and he says it
- 20:39Speaker 1: must be stopped. Battle lines have been drawn. We'll talk
- 20:43Speaker 1: about it next.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Well, we have the secondary home taxes I call it,
- 20:50Speaker 2: or Larry Howe did they describe it in French?
- 20:54Speaker 1: Could you give me the pierre deterere pierre detail? What
- 20:58Speaker 1: are we ridiculous? Pierre de tear?
- 21:02Speaker 2: Isn't it like that thing that Zoron Mondami wanted to
- 21:05Speaker 2: put in instead of the turlets in the bathroom there
- 21:09Speaker 2: Gracie mansion when him and his wife moved in there,
- 21:13Speaker 2: that's what they wanted in there. Yeah, well, what is
- 21:16Speaker 2: that thing that the French use instead of having just
- 21:18Speaker 2: a toilet.
- 21:21Speaker 1: It's called I know what it is. I forget what
- 21:25Speaker 1: that's right.
- 21:26Speaker 2: See when I when you say Pierre de tay to me,
- 21:28Speaker 2: I'm thinking of a bodday, but it's not. I don't
- 21:32Speaker 2: know why they use this term, but they do. It's
- 21:35Speaker 2: a secondary home tax. So the way it's laid out,
- 21:39Speaker 2: and again this is an idea originally that the person
- 21:44Speaker 2: who came up with it was Andhu Evilies Squamo.
- 21:46Speaker 1: When he was governor.
- 21:47Speaker 2: He had a budgetary deficit with the MTA. You needed
- 21:51Speaker 2: to raise some extra money, so he came up with
- 21:53Speaker 2: this idea, Hey, if you have a secondary home in
- 21:56Speaker 2: New York City, uh, in New York State, We're going
- 21:58Speaker 2: to tax you for that. He eventually dropped that because
- 22:03Speaker 2: it wasn't being accepted, so he went on to other things.
- 22:07Speaker 2: So that was set into basically a template, is exactly
- 22:12Speaker 2: what Johan Mandami resuscitated when he became mayor and he
- 22:17Speaker 2: did the chicken dance with Kathy Hochl, the governor who
- 22:20Speaker 2: has to approve of this because and people don't seem
- 22:23Speaker 2: to understand, why is it that our Albany legislature and
- 22:27Speaker 2: the governor has to approve of home rule decisions in
- 22:31Speaker 2: the biggest city in the United States. We have to
- 22:34Speaker 2: go up to Albany, a town of like your luck.
- 22:36Speaker 2: If there's one hundred thousand people there, and that's only
- 22:40Speaker 2: when it's in session. When it's not in session, everybody leaves.
- 22:43Speaker 2: But Albany makes most of these determinations, and we sacrifice that.
- 22:49Speaker 2: When Albany bailed out the City of New York from
- 22:52Speaker 2: going bankrupt in like nineteen seventy seven, when that famous
- 22:56Speaker 2: headline Cheryl Ford, the president at that time, said, drop
- 22:59Speaker 2: dead went up bailing you out because it'll be a
- 23:01Speaker 2: domino effective.
- 23:02Speaker 1: We bail out in New.
- 23:03Speaker 2: York City, we have to bail out other places, thankfully,
- 23:05Speaker 2: he said that. But when the governor carry put together
- 23:08Speaker 2: our financial Control Board, part of that was okay. From
- 23:12Speaker 2: now on, in order to make sure you're gonna abide
- 23:16Speaker 2: by the fiscal restraint that's needed, most of your measures
- 23:21Speaker 2: to raise money you're gonna have to pass, you will orbinate.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Now, property tax you can do on your own.
- 23:25Speaker 2: That's why Zoran said, is the mayor or, we're gonna
- 23:28Speaker 2: raise everybody's property tax. And naturally he wouldn't never have
- 23:32Speaker 2: gotten that through the city council. It is not because
- 23:35Speaker 2: you're dealing with sixty two different neighborhoods. So the chicken
- 23:38Speaker 2: game was hokel goes Okay, we'll go for this secondary
- 23:41Speaker 2: home tax, which should have only affected thirteen thousand locations.
- 23:48Speaker 2: This is a second home now. Some people use it
- 23:50Speaker 2: to go back and forth to Florida, or maybe they'll
- 23:54Speaker 2: have guests or friends stay, or they'll sublease it. You know,
- 24:00Speaker 2: they won't say anything, but they'll sublease it. Some are
- 24:02Speaker 2: an investment exactly because they'll flip it.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Yep.
- 24:05Speaker 2: A lot of foreigners do that because if ever their
- 24:08Speaker 2: country goes in solvent or there's a revolution and they
- 24:11Speaker 2: can't trust the banks. They got real estate in New
- 24:14Speaker 2: York City. So if it's worth more than a million
- 24:16Speaker 2: dollars as a co op, if it's worth more than
- 24:19Speaker 2: a million dollars as a condo, if it's worth more
- 24:21Speaker 2: than five million dollars as a one to two or
- 24:24Speaker 2: three family home, you got to pay an additional six
- 24:27Speaker 2: and a half percent. We'll call it property tax, which,
- 24:31Speaker 2: when all is said and done, if collected from thirteen
- 24:34Speaker 2: thousand people, would equal about five hundred million dollars. So
- 24:39Speaker 2: the problem came about when they rolled it out. First,
- 24:42Speaker 2: seventeen thousand letters went out, so they're like four thousand
- 24:45Speaker 2: people got letters who should never have gotten letters because
- 24:48Speaker 2: they don't have a second property. Some of them prominent people,
- 24:52Speaker 2: some of them people you don't know, and all of
- 24:54Speaker 2: them complained. And that's quite a gaff. I mean, you
- 24:58Speaker 2: talked about four thousand. It was like it should have
- 25:01Speaker 2: only been thirteen thousand letters and went out.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I get it, but it's everything this guy's done. Right.
- 25:06Speaker 2: So they promise, okay, you have an opportunity until late September.
- 25:10Speaker 1: They pushed it back.
- 25:11Speaker 2: It was originally laid out August, but late September, you know,
- 25:14Speaker 2: you can appeal and we'll undo it.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Okay, it's going to move forward.
- 25:18Speaker 2: The state has the right to do it and the
- 25:21Speaker 2: city has given the permission to do it because state
- 25:24Speaker 2: controls this. There's no home rule. Well, who decides to
- 25:28Speaker 2: jump in on this yesterday? Do you think it was
- 25:31Speaker 2: a slow newsday for the president of the United States,
- 25:34Speaker 2: who was at the Patriot Games and dealing with the
- 25:36Speaker 2: Iran and Israel and the economy and all the primaries
- 25:41Speaker 2: that are taking place.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Many of them led with the Patriot Games in all
- 25:45Speaker 1: that long life like that, those Patriot Games.
- 25:48Speaker 2: But no, he had a weigh in and he has
- 25:50Speaker 2: obviously we know, a secondary property. His primary property is
- 25:54Speaker 2: Mari Largo. His secondary property is the Trump Tower. And
- 25:58Speaker 2: he said this is wrong, this should not be done.
- 26:02Speaker 2: It's gonna drive people out of New York City. And
- 26:05Speaker 2: this is done by Jihadis. I'm not saying to myself, Okay,
- 26:11Speaker 2: maybe you're trying out the campaign rhetoric. I get a Jihadis,
- 26:14Speaker 2: as Lamis, communist Marxists, I get it. But he didn't
- 26:19Speaker 2: mention Zorhanmandami. So jihanis that.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Look, everybody knew who he met when he said the
- 26:26Speaker 1: radical left jihadist. I think everybody knew who he never
- 26:29Speaker 1: attacked him personally. If you notice this, right, I mean,
- 26:33Speaker 1: think about this, the leader of the pack.
- 26:35Speaker 2: If you want to believe he's a Jihattis and Islamis
- 26:39Speaker 2: is Zorhamandami. Right, He's led this surge of the DSSA
- 26:43Speaker 2: all over the country. It all started with this unbelievable
- 26:46Speaker 2: victory of his in New York City. But the President
- 26:50Speaker 2: has this love hate relationship with him, welcome into the
- 26:53Speaker 2: White House twice, and when they couldn't be friendlier. They're
- 26:56Speaker 2: doing business together, they try to get affordable housing. But
- 27:00Speaker 2: he won't attack him personally. Now, he had no problem
- 27:02Speaker 2: going after al Sayid and arrested, right, you know, yeah,
- 27:06Speaker 2: well they're running for all.
- 27:07Speaker 1: This guy's not running for office. I mean, I think
- 27:10Speaker 1: everybody knew who he was going after. And he certainly
- 27:14Speaker 1: said a couple of times, this doesn't work in America
- 27:18Speaker 1: and called him a jie hottest. So you would think
- 27:20Speaker 1: what he's saying is go back to where you came from.
- 27:23Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like. You know, if you were
- 27:25Speaker 1: to take a vote on this. Of people that I
- 27:27Speaker 1: run into in the streets, they're like, I can't even
- 27:30Speaker 1: afford one property. What am I going to worry about
- 27:32Speaker 1: people who go to afford two properties.
- 27:34Speaker 2: But the other thing that the President did in this
- 27:38Speaker 2: particular situation is just empower somebody like Joahan Mondommi because
- 27:42Speaker 2: he didn't respond, you know, he didn't respond. It's just
- 27:45Speaker 2: a part of that back and forth. And I would
- 27:48Speaker 2: have said to the President, he's probably not aware of this. Hey,
- 27:51Speaker 2: mister president, the guy you supported from Andrew Cmo, he
- 27:56Speaker 2: created this, He created this. But again it's I think
- 28:01Speaker 2: what the President has to do is really get focused
- 28:04Speaker 2: now on the three big issues that are going to
- 28:08Speaker 2: affect Republicans.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I get it.
- 28:09Speaker 2: It's a good strategy to declare that the Democrats is
- 28:12Speaker 2: hiatis islam as communist march this.
- 28:15Speaker 1: We'll see if that works.
- 28:16Speaker 2: But most people were still saying affordability, costs of living
- 28:20Speaker 2: and this endless one around.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Yeah, except this is a big issue that the socialism
- 28:25Speaker 1: is a big issue, and it's one the Republicans can control.
- 28:29Speaker 1: And that's why you hear it from them all the time.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Now if you listen to every single candidate out there,
- 28:37Speaker 1: they're talking about the threat of socialism. This is a
- 28:40Speaker 1: huge winner for the Republican Party so far. And they
- 28:45Speaker 1: wanted Hung to win. There's no question they wanted Hung
- 28:48Speaker 1: to win.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Well, they actually were going to discuss it later on.
- 28:50Speaker 2: They spent money to get her.
- 28:52Speaker 1: No question, Yeah, no questions. So listen, this is going
- 28:57Speaker 1: along exactly you They both win to your point. They
- 29:02Speaker 1: both win in this. Mom Donnie wins in this because
- 29:04Speaker 1: Donald Trump's attacking him and he'sa anti Donald Trump and
- 29:07Speaker 1: all the people that support him are anti Donald Trump.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Donald Trump wins in this because he gets to point
- 29:12Speaker 1: out Democratic socialists are ruining the country. Look what they're
- 29:15Speaker 1: doing in New York. All they want is money, money, money,
- 29:17Speaker 1: money to pay for their disasters. So it's win win.
- 29:21Speaker 1: You didn't expect anything else to happen here, did you.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I didn't expect the president away on this. You can't
- 29:28Speaker 1: even pronounce it. I'd ask the president to pronounce what
- 29:31Speaker 1: is that again? To pronounce that? For me, he can
- 29:32Speaker 1: pronounce a better new The midterms are coming up. The
- 29:38Speaker 1: midterms are coming up. Of course he's going to get
- 29:39Speaker 1: in here.
- 29:40Speaker 2: But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't matter who you are,
- 29:43Speaker 2: You're probably getting these spam calls and spam texts, and
- 29:47Speaker 2: you would love to have a little bit of silence,
- 29:49Speaker 2: wouldn't you, Because they all seem to have your personal information.
- 29:54Speaker 2: You notice, just like, how do you think I have
- 29:56Speaker 2: my phone number, my home address, my email, my family
- 29:59Speaker 2: member locations, my political affiliations, even where I do my
- 30:04Speaker 2: banking well, it's through databanks and that's why. Unfortunately it's
- 30:10Speaker 2: legal to collect all that information. But you're right in
- 30:14Speaker 2: the eye of the storm because they'll sell it to
- 30:16Speaker 2: whoever it is has the money, including criminals who are
- 30:20Speaker 2: out to bamboozoo you. Now there is a way to
- 30:22Speaker 2: stop all this and do it the way I've done
- 30:25Speaker 2: it in Cognate. Get a pad and penna right and
- 30:27Speaker 2: now down I Ncogni in Cogny will set up a
- 30:34Speaker 2: wall and they warn all of these databanks you better
- 30:37Speaker 2: not use this person's information any longer. But they're not suckers.
- 30:40Speaker 2: They know that they're going to come back and try
- 30:42Speaker 2: to do it again. So they're going to do a
- 30:44Speaker 2: whack a mole and come back and warn them legally
- 30:47Speaker 2: get our client's information off your site. Now they'll send
- 30:52Speaker 2: those legal removal requests and then they stay on top
- 30:56Speaker 2: of it. So if you can't target, if you can't
- 31:00Speaker 2: stand the spammer's coming after you, if you can't stand
- 31:03Speaker 2: the spammers texting you morning, noon, and night, there's an
- 31:06Speaker 2: opportunity to get sixty percent off right now on incognit
- 31:10Speaker 2: dot com slash Curtis. That's I n ceog ni dot com,
- 31:15Speaker 2: slash Curtis and share that with your family and French.
- 31:18Speaker 1: So far, across the country, most people have been pro AI.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Most Republicans especially have been pro AI. But not a
- 31:27Speaker 1: Republican in California, who right now is the top Republican
- 31:31Speaker 1: in the state. He blested the two leaders of AI,
- 31:36Speaker 1: basically called the idiots. You'll hear who that is and
- 31:40Speaker 1: why he did it next. There's no question that Americans
- 31:44Speaker 1: are a little more than concerned about AI. Poll show
- 31:48Speaker 1: that most Americans are more concerned than excited about the
- 31:53Speaker 1: advent of AI. Seventy one percent are opposed to local
- 31:59Speaker 1: AI data centers due to energy concerns, and usually Republicans
- 32:06Speaker 1: are very pro AI. Donald Trump is as governors in
- 32:10Speaker 1: the South have come out saying, you want to put
- 32:12Speaker 1: an AI center in a community, you come to see us.
- 32:16Speaker 1: But Steve Hilton, who right now is the top Republican
- 32:19Speaker 1: in California because he's running for governor, says that AI
- 32:26Speaker 1: and the people that started AI, started the revolution and
- 32:30Speaker 1: the evolution, have nobody to blame but themselves for the
- 32:34Speaker 1: bad publicity.
- 32:35Speaker 9: Two of the founders, in particular Sam Altman and Amada
- 32:39Speaker 9: have been just a disaster for the reputation of the industry.
- 32:42Speaker 9: You know, of course they've had tremendous success in terms
- 32:46Speaker 9: of their businesses, but the narrative that they've been spinning
- 32:50Speaker 9: for years has just been catastrophic for public trust in
- 32:55Speaker 9: their own industry.
- 32:56Speaker 1: This was a Politico's Open AI forum. They actually talked
- 33:02Speaker 1: about a whole lot of different things, but they promoted
- 33:05Speaker 1: it as talking about AI and the advent of AI.
- 33:09Speaker 1: And Hilton didn't stop there.
- 33:10Speaker 9: He went on, it's endless doom laden predictions about what
- 33:14Speaker 9: the things that they're working on are going to do
- 33:17Speaker 9: to our economy in our society. I think have fed
- 33:20Speaker 9: this and now they're sitting there thinking, oh, everybody hates us. Yeah,
- 33:23Speaker 9: I wonder why it's because you told them to fear
- 33:26Speaker 9: what you're building.
- 33:27Speaker 1: It does seem odd, doesn't it. It seems self productive.
- 33:30Speaker 2: And Steve Hilton, who is really doing a good job
- 33:34Speaker 2: with this subject that is so important to all of California,
- 33:37Speaker 2: that's the AI epicenter, you know, Silicon Valley. His wife
- 33:42Speaker 2: is knowledgeable. She is a former communications chief for Google
- 33:47Speaker 2: and Facebook, so she had hands on experience with this.
- 33:51Speaker 2: And Hilton, although obviously he's not a lot like me.
- 33:56Speaker 2: He knows technology. He now carries a foot phone for
- 33:59Speaker 2: his call and texts like Rihanna and others. Just say,
- 34:03Speaker 2: I don't need all the clutter. You know you need
- 34:05Speaker 2: me our texts. Okay, I can do it from But
- 34:08Speaker 2: there's another aspect to this that I'm gonna bounce off
- 34:11Speaker 2: Rich de Muro when we talk to our tech guy
- 34:13Speaker 2: in the next hour that he's right. The Open AI guy,
- 34:17Speaker 2: Sam Altman, who looks like a real schmuck. I hate
- 34:19Speaker 2: him every time I see him. And the Anthropics guy
- 34:22Speaker 2: is this Dario guy. They look vile and they do
- 34:27Speaker 2: indicate the most traconian things that can come out of
- 34:31Speaker 2: the development of AI. And you say to yourself, why
- 34:35Speaker 2: would you be so dystopian about something It's gonna make
- 34:40Speaker 2: you a lot of money? And those who are competing
- 34:42Speaker 2: with you, and then it all comes into focus. They're
- 34:45Speaker 2: doing this because both of them are ahead right now,
- 34:48Speaker 2: Open AI and Anthropics. You know, it's a huge race. Hey,
- 34:51Speaker 2: everybody's throwing money. Zuckerberg's throwing money in, Bizo's throwing money in.
- 34:55Speaker 2: We know that the trollion there now, a musk is
- 34:58Speaker 2: strowing money. The red shy, you know, they're all in
- 35:01Speaker 2: this strange but they want to stop the game right now,
- 35:03Speaker 2: and they want government regulation.
- 35:06Speaker 1: That's a great that's a great take. Yeah, because they
- 35:08Speaker 1: figure where is the lead.
- 35:10Speaker 2: This will slow everybody down, because remember Bernie Sanders said, oh,
- 35:15Speaker 2: we should still be in session and we should have
- 35:17Speaker 2: some kind of guardrails. And the Republicans are even hinting
- 35:20Speaker 2: at this because they see this is like a runaway locomotives.
- 35:24Speaker 2: So they're creating this horrible scenario.
- 35:29Speaker 1: You said, nobody.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Usually you're a CEO because you're a good salesperson. You're
- 35:33Speaker 2: able to raise billions. But apparently I didn't figure this out.
- 35:37Speaker 2: People are willing to invest millions billions if they think
- 35:42Speaker 2: you have the technology that is bigger, badder, and more
- 35:45Speaker 2: uncontrollable than anyone else, because that's the one everybody's gonna want.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Oh. Sure, everybody's looking for a winner in this whole thing,
- 35:51Speaker 1: because they know there's gonna be some losers. They know
- 35:54Speaker 1: that money is going to be lost, there's gonna be
- 35:57Speaker 1: a bubble that's gonna burst, and then only a few
- 35:59Speaker 1: of the companies are gonna survived. No, that makes a
- 36:01Speaker 1: whole lot of sense because other than that it makes
- 36:05Speaker 1: no sense whatsoever to be bed mouthing your own industry
- 36:08Speaker 1: and your own product.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Well, up next, the bubble burst on the dssay it
- 36:13Speaker 2: wasn't in Michigan. Well El said it was in Wisconsin
- 36:18Speaker 2: with the iggubernatorial candidate, the Democrat hung. She barely lost,
- 36:24Speaker 2: but she was expected to win easily. And then the polls,
- 36:28Speaker 2: which Larry has said in all these races, no matter
- 36:31Speaker 2: where they was, South Carolina, Minnesota, Wisconsin, couldn't have been
- 36:38Speaker 2: more hopelessly wrong on all of these key races. So
- 36:41Speaker 2: we'll break it all down for you up next, But
- 36:43Speaker 2: first the news at seven, Well.
- 36:45Speaker 1: One of the most important primary days of the season
- 36:48Speaker 1: just passed us by, and the star they race that
- 36:54Speaker 1: got the most attention was in Wisconsin, and it got
- 36:58Speaker 1: the most attention because there was a well, you know,
- 37:01Speaker 1: I can say it now. I thought she was completely
- 37:04Speaker 1: a lunatic, this assembly Woman Francesca Hong, who became a
- 37:09Speaker 1: national story just because of things she said in the past.
- 37:13Speaker 1: She doesn't like the Fourth of July, she doesn't like Thanksgiving,
- 37:16Speaker 1: she wants to get rid of the US Senate. Over
- 37:19Speaker 1: and over again. She was espousing the DSA line, but
- 37:23Speaker 1: she was winning constantly in the polls I had, and
- 37:28Speaker 1: everybody thought, oh my god, this is going to be
- 37:30Speaker 1: the death of the Democratic Party if they keep electing
- 37:33Speaker 1: all of these unelectable socialists all across the country, especially
- 37:38Speaker 1: in a purple state like Wisconsin. But the Democratic Party
- 37:43Speaker 1: rallied and the Republican Party was actually supporting Hong. They
- 37:48Speaker 1: wanted her to win because that would be a great
- 37:51Speaker 1: pickup right there if she were to win, because the
- 37:54Speaker 1: Republicans would definitely win that seat. But the Democrats were
- 37:57Speaker 1: smart and they really got behind David the Milwaukee County executive,
- 38:01Speaker 1: who had dropped out of the race but got back
- 38:03Speaker 1: in it after some of the other candidates had problems,
- 38:07Speaker 1: and in the very end, he won by point four
- 38:12Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Now there could be a recount
- 38:17Speaker 1: in this race. There might be a recount because she
- 38:19Speaker 1: can't but she has to request it. If she requested it,
- 38:24Speaker 1: she also has to pay for it. And the problem
- 38:27Speaker 1: is she didn't have any money. Crowley had all the
- 38:31Speaker 1: money in this race. They flooded the airwaves and at
- 38:36Speaker 1: the very end they were able to maybe save the
- 38:39Speaker 1: Democratic Party in Wisconsin, because this would have been a
- 38:45Speaker 1: disaster I'll tell you what, Curtis. I was rooting for Hung.
- 38:50Speaker 1: I was hoping so much she was going to win
- 38:54Speaker 1: because the Republicans would have made her the most famous
- 38:57Speaker 1: person in America.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Well, the Republicans loved her. In the end, they had
- 39:01Speaker 2: a super pack. They poured two point two million dollars
- 39:06Speaker 2: only into two areas in the Madison area in Milwaukee
- 39:10Speaker 2: area because they knew that's where most of the progressive
- 39:12Speaker 2: votes were, and their ad was a vote for Hung
- 39:17Speaker 2: is a vote for socialism. She is too liberal. So
- 39:22Speaker 2: naturally if you happen to lean in that direction, progressive
- 39:25Speaker 2: of socialism, and I'll explain in a moment in Wisconsin
- 39:28Speaker 2: is really where socialism in America was developed. That's going
- 39:31Speaker 2: to aggravate you and make you want to get out
- 39:33Speaker 2: there and vote against the African American. As you had
- 39:37Speaker 2: mentioned Crowley, who is the county executive of Milwaukee County.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Great story, I might add, actually, great story. Hung has
- 39:45Speaker 2: a great story. He had a great story. They didn't
- 39:48Speaker 2: have an easy life growing up. But as you pointed out,
- 39:52Speaker 2: in the end, it's like zero point four percent differential
- 39:57Speaker 2: and the last wave there were twenty thou absentee ballots
- 40:02Speaker 2: from the city of Milwaukee that were delayed the counting
- 40:05Speaker 2: because of human era. Now, I'd have to tell you,
- 40:09Speaker 2: having spent a lot of time in Milwaukee, I believe
- 40:11Speaker 2: that would have favored Crowley because the north side is black,
- 40:15Speaker 2: the south side is Hispanic, and all the white progressives
- 40:18Speaker 2: lived downtown along Lake Michigan, you know where Marquette University is,
- 40:22Speaker 2: where all the government buildings are and the corporation buildings.
- 40:27Speaker 2: So I think he would have won it anyway. But
- 40:30Speaker 2: it's only point four percent, and you're right, she can
- 40:35Speaker 2: actually get a recount, and she's willing to put up
- 40:38Speaker 2: three million dollars, which she doesn't have. And remember this
- 40:41Speaker 2: goes back to twenty sixteen. Remember how close it was
- 40:46Speaker 2: with Hillary where she loses the state, She loses Michigan,
- 40:51Speaker 2: she loses Pennsylvania by the bearer's minimum in Wisconsin, and
- 40:55Speaker 2: she wants recounts, recounts. But the Green Party candidate Jill Stein,
- 41:01Speaker 2: who only got one percent, she was sort of the
- 41:02Speaker 2: Ralph Nader in that race. She got the state to
- 41:06Speaker 2: pay for the recount. It was all for or not
- 41:09Speaker 2: because Trump won Wisconsin anyway. He actually got more votes
- 41:12Speaker 2: in the recount but then remember Trump in twenty twenty
- 41:16Speaker 2: wanted a partial recount of Wisconsin because he knew some
- 41:19Speaker 2: areas if the recount it might not have favored him,
- 41:22Speaker 2: so he had a partial recount. So Wisconsin is a
- 41:24Speaker 2: state that's used to doing recounts. They've changed the rules though.
- 41:28Speaker 2: You want to recount, you got to put up the money.
- 41:31Speaker 2: And you're right, she's down with like four hundred thousand dollars.
- 41:35Speaker 2: She would have to have a special fundraiser and do
- 41:37Speaker 2: it immediately. And I think she said yesterday just before
- 41:42Speaker 2: her supporters went home, they hadn't yet known what the
- 41:45Speaker 2: results were. Whoever wins, you know, we're going to bridge
- 41:48Speaker 2: the divide. We're going to work for the Democratic candidate.
- 41:51Speaker 2: So I think in her own mind she kind of
- 41:53Speaker 2: recognized if I lose, I'm not going to challenge it,
- 41:57Speaker 2: although I would have been urging her to challenge it,
- 42:00Speaker 2: kidding a point four percent, how.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Close that is. The Democrats don't want her. They don't
- 42:07Speaker 1: want her, so she is going in an uphill battle. Anyway,
- 42:10Speaker 1: this might be the best thing that ever happened to her,
- 42:13Speaker 1: because she was going to get almost no support except
- 42:17Speaker 1: for this small but growing gang of Democratic Socialists. That's it.
- 42:22Speaker 1: The Democrats saw that she was death and she, by
- 42:26Speaker 1: the way, was an awful candidate. Awful. The only thing
- 42:31Speaker 1: that got her support was DSA. The only thing that
- 42:34Speaker 1: got her support was craziness. And the young. Oh the
- 42:37Speaker 1: divide in the young and the and those over forty, Oh,
- 42:42Speaker 1: my god. In the state, they've already starting to break
- 42:44Speaker 1: it down. It was. It was incredible. It was like
- 42:47Speaker 1: sixty five percent of Democrats under a certain age voted
- 42:53Speaker 1: for her. So, look, this is going to be playing
- 42:56Speaker 1: out across the country, and every time it does, the
- 43:00Speaker 1: Democrats have figured it out. They're going to squash this.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Well, there's a little difference here. Let's look at the
- 43:06Speaker 2: recent barely winning the Michigan primary where there was no recount.
- 43:12Speaker 2: I thought there would have been a recount. They were
- 43:14Speaker 2: talking like less than one percent between el Said and
- 43:18Speaker 2: the congresswoman. But apparently the rules are no recount in primaries,
- 43:23Speaker 2: but recount in the general election. But in this case,
- 43:28Speaker 2: unlike l Said, Bernie Sanders held rallies for l s Ied.
- 43:32Speaker 2: AOC came in and stumped for l. Sied. When I
- 43:36Speaker 2: looked at the totals for Hang legitimately DSA.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Can you remember how.
- 43:41Speaker 2: L Sayed was saying, I'm not DSSA, I'm a capitalist,
- 43:45Speaker 2: I'm not association. She do remember how you was spinning
- 43:47Speaker 2: that she's been loyal to the DSA. Her god is
- 43:52Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, her goddess is AOC. Do you know they
- 43:55Speaker 2: would not endorse her because she's an awful candidate. Well,
- 43:58Speaker 2: she was ahead of the polls, so I'm thinking's a
- 44:00Speaker 2: little bit more. I'm not sure they had conversations. Maybe
- 44:04Speaker 2: there's something a little often, there was nothing wrong in
- 44:07Speaker 2: terms of improprieties. Just to give you an idea, I
- 44:10Speaker 2: think people were trying to figure out where did this
- 44:12Speaker 2: woman come from. She was an assembly woman from Madison,
- 44:15Speaker 2: well known as a chef. But the reason that she
- 44:18Speaker 2: elevated herself for three things. The first thing is she
- 44:22Speaker 2: went to all the rural areas where everybody else stayed
- 44:24Speaker 2: away from. This was the Chuck Schumer philosophy that beat
- 44:28Speaker 2: Al Demoto for the US Senate when Schumer was the
- 44:30Speaker 2: congressman and de Motto was the sitting senator. He didn't
- 44:33Speaker 2: go upstate. She went wherever they were plowing in fertilizer.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Number two, she was the only candidate of any party
- 44:41Speaker 2: against the AI data filing Senate. So you know where
- 44:45Speaker 2: Eric Adams was recently in that little town where they
- 44:47Speaker 2: booed him.
- 44:48Speaker 1: They welcomed her because she was supposed to that. And
- 44:51Speaker 1: then the third.
- 44:51Speaker 2: Thing is, boy luck be a lady named ha. She
- 44:55Speaker 2: gets into a race where you have the governor who
- 44:58Speaker 2: has decided I'm not running for third term. He's a
- 45:01Speaker 2: popular government governor, a Democrat. The lieutenant governor is running
- 45:06Speaker 2: a Hispanic would have been the first Hispanic governor. She
- 45:10Speaker 2: has to drop out. It's a Democratic Kennedy because guess what.
- 45:14Speaker 2: A million dollars was stolen from her campaign and she
- 45:17Speaker 2: blamed the campaign manager. Always blame the campaign manager. She
- 45:20Speaker 2: drops out the next day. Then the guy was the
- 45:22Speaker 2: former lieutenant governor who lost by one percent to Ron Johnson.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Remember that was a really close race. This guy ran
- 45:29Speaker 2: a great race, Mandela Barnes. I'll never forget that name,
- 45:32Speaker 2: Mandela Barnes. You know why he dropped out. Why he
- 45:35Speaker 2: would have won. The Democrats were investigating charges of sexual harassments. Again,
- 45:42Speaker 2: saw Peter for all the guys out there, So now
- 45:45Speaker 2: it's her. And then that's what prompted Crowley, who had
- 45:48Speaker 2: dropped out to get back in the race because the
- 45:51Speaker 2: governor Tony Evers clearly did not want a socialist and
- 45:54Speaker 2: said I'll help you raise money and he did.
- 45:56Speaker 1: And going forward they might be able to win this
- 45:59Speaker 1: seat now. And that's what it was all about. And
- 46:02Speaker 1: that's why Bernie Sanders didn't go and support her. That's
- 46:06Speaker 1: why AOC didn't go to support her in the very end.
- 46:10Speaker 1: In the matter, if you're a socialist and not a socialist,
- 46:13Speaker 1: it's about winning and these races right now because this
- 46:17Speaker 1: is going to be close. It's going to be close
- 46:18Speaker 1: across the country because the Democrats can't get out of
- 46:22Speaker 1: their own way with this socialism thing. It's always going
- 46:26Speaker 1: to be about winning. And so when you look at
- 46:29Speaker 1: it and you think to yourself, well, why is this
- 46:31Speaker 1: person that report not supporting that person because they know
- 46:35Speaker 1: they can lose. It's all about winning and losing. That's
- 46:37Speaker 1: why everybody was supporting Platner because they thought he could win.
- 46:40Speaker 1: It didn't really matter all of the skeletons in his closet.
- 46:44Speaker 1: They thought he could win this hung they thought she
- 46:47Speaker 1: was going to lose.
- 46:48Speaker 2: You want to do a deeper dive on that, because
- 46:50Speaker 2: she wasn't ahead in the polls. As you pointed out,
- 46:52Speaker 2: the polls were wrong all night long. You're going to
- 46:54Speaker 2: get into all the races, you know in Minnesota. South
- 46:58Speaker 2: Carolina obviously was but they were wrong on every every level.
- 47:03Speaker 2: But that's where socialism started in America was Wisconsin. They
- 47:08Speaker 2: had the first socialist congress person. They ran as socialists.
- 47:11Speaker 2: They didn't have like DSA or anything like.
- 47:14Speaker 1: The way back in the past. It ain't that anymore.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It's not that anymore.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Had three mayors in Milwaukee they were socialists. There are
- 47:20Speaker 2: a lot of There are a lot of DSSA people there.
- 47:23Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
- 47:24Speaker 1: Have you been to Wisconsin, I've been there a lot.
- 47:26Speaker 1: I spent.
- 47:30Speaker 2: I mean German concentration, Polish concentration. I spent a long
- 47:35Speaker 2: time in Milwaukee organizing Guardian Angels. But I'll tell you
- 47:39Speaker 2: this much, I believe that there was something that personally
- 47:44Speaker 2: didn't click between her Bernie Sanders, the godfather of the DSSA,
- 47:49Speaker 2: and the princess who maybe crowned the future presidential candidate.
- 47:53Speaker 1: Of the DSSA. AOC.
- 47:55Speaker 2: So I'm gonna I'm gonna gonna do a deeptail.
- 47:57Speaker 1: No, it didn't colick the same thing that didn't click
- 47:59Speaker 1: with the voter. She wasn't a good candidate. She was
- 48:01Speaker 1: an awful, awful candidate. Thanksgiving. I would have suggested that
- 48:09Speaker 1: was too much of a flip.
- 48:10Speaker 2: You're opposed to Thanksgiving because it promotes colonialism, and then
- 48:14Speaker 2: all of a sudden you come back and you say
- 48:16Speaker 2: a pivot in shift. Well, that's my favorite holiday. In fact,
- 48:19Speaker 2: that's where I got an opportunity to check out, a
- 48:23Speaker 2: test out all my culinary delights as a shit.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Speaking of the polls, the internal polls must have shown
- 48:28Speaker 1: that was a big mistake because she was asked going
- 48:30Speaker 1: into the voting booth, what's the one thing that you
- 48:33Speaker 1: want to want Miss wisconsinights to know before they vote?
- 48:37Speaker 1: She said, I love Thanksgiving? Love Thanksgiving?
- 48:40Speaker 2: Can we have in fact, what is that the bone
- 48:43Speaker 2: you take out, the wishing bone? I'm missing it here?
- 48:46Speaker 2: You know where you break the breastbone to see if
- 48:49Speaker 2: you get luck?
- 48:49Speaker 1: And she did.
- 48:50Speaker 2: She probably wouldn't went there. You want to break the
- 48:52Speaker 2: wishbone here, see if I get lucky. And so she
- 48:55Speaker 2: lost by zero point four percent.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Hey, when we come back, some of the best states
- 49:01Speaker 1: in America are in our area according to wallet how
- 49:06Speaker 1: we'll give you the details and as some but also
- 49:09Speaker 1: we're gonna have tickets for John Fogeri and Steve Winwood
- 49:12Speaker 1: at A twenty five. Now, I want to talk about
- 49:14Speaker 1: life fac because I really believe every home should have one.
- 49:17Speaker 1: I really believe every restaurant should have one. I believe
- 49:20Speaker 1: every school cafeteria should have one, because I've spent a
- 49:23Speaker 1: career reporting the news and I know how quickly an
- 49:27Speaker 1: ordinary moment can turn into an emergency. And the most common,
- 49:31Speaker 1: maybe of those moments is choking. It can happen out
- 49:35Speaker 1: of nowhere, at any meal, at any snack, and when
- 49:37Speaker 1: it does, seconds matter. That's why I want to tell
- 49:40Speaker 1: you about life fact. Life Back is the first and
- 49:42Speaker 1: only FDA authorized suction anti choking device to be used
- 49:47Speaker 1: for second line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been
- 49:52Speaker 1: followed without success. The Heimlich doesn't always work. And here's
- 49:56Speaker 1: what's remarkable. Life Back has helped save over six thousand
- 49:59Speaker 1: lives worldwide. Those are real people. We're talking about, real
- 50:04Speaker 1: families that have been affected by this, saved by this.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can make all
- 50:11Speaker 1: the difference. In the world. Learn more about life fact

- 50:22Speaker 1: Just real quick, I want to thank Aliada Pastry Aliota
- 50:25Speaker 1: Bakery It's aliadapastry dot com for sending over some cookies
- 50:29Speaker 1: and says for Curtis Larry and the entire team. If
- 50:33Speaker 1: you want to check them out there at four or
- 50:34Speaker 1: five two to two Avenue N in Brooklyn. They look great.
- 50:38Speaker 1: We'll dig into it right after the show. Now, what
- 50:43Speaker 1: do you think are the best states to live in?
- 50:45Speaker 1: They put out this list every year on wallet hub
- 50:48Speaker 1: and they go by affordability, economy, education, and health, quality
- 50:55Speaker 1: of life and safety. That's what they do. And whoever's
- 51:00Speaker 1: number one, they put him in number one if you're
- 51:03Speaker 1: in a fifty and then it was the best score
- 51:05Speaker 1: all the way through gets to be the top state
- 51:07Speaker 1: in America. Who do you think tops the list?
- 51:09Speaker 2: Oh, the at least crowded, so I'd say Wyoming, Montana, Idaho.
- 51:14Speaker 1: Idaho's number one, Wyoming's number six. Montana is all the
- 51:18Speaker 1: way down at number fourteen, which isn't bad. Not the
- 51:20Speaker 1: top half maybe.
- 51:21Speaker 2: Face those areas lots of place to roll around and
- 51:25Speaker 2: have a good quality of life.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Your theory doesn't work for number two, Hi, because it
- 51:30Speaker 1: might be the most crowded state in America. Not New Jersey.
- 51:36Speaker 1: New Jersey number two New Jersey and News Tom kains
- 51:41Speaker 1: there's no freaking way that Jersey should be finishing number two.
- 51:45Speaker 1: Who did day Greece. It's a great state. I mean,
- 51:47Speaker 1: it's a great state to live in. The problem is
- 51:49Speaker 1: taxes and affordability in New Jersey. So you would think
- 51:52Speaker 1: that that would kill them, and it should have. They
- 51:55Speaker 1: were forty nine out of fifty when it came to affordability.
- 51:59Speaker 1: What they were number one in was safety. They are
- 52:03Speaker 1: considered the safest state in America by wallet Hub and
- 52:07Speaker 1: quality of life number nine. Education number seven, which I'm
- 52:11Speaker 1: surprised because in the rankings they are always number two,
- 52:14Speaker 1: number one or number two number one.
- 52:15Speaker 2: Pay enough property taxes to be number.
- 52:18Speaker 1: One, but their education is tremendous, and so even though
- 52:22Speaker 1: affordability killed them, they were number two. Safety number one.
- 52:27Speaker 2: Now they must not have spent much time in Patterson
- 52:30Speaker 2: and Newark, right in Camden and Trenton.
- 52:33Speaker 1: But most of the state. I would agree with that. Gorgeous,
- 52:36Speaker 1: And their crime rate for the state is pretty darn low.
- 52:39Speaker 1: New York number twelve, by no way, number twelve. They
- 52:46Speaker 1: finished first in quality of life New York.
- 52:49Speaker 2: All these states that New York is and New Jersey
- 52:52Speaker 2: its are fleeing to Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee,
- 52:58Speaker 2: and parts unknown.
- 53:00Speaker 1: They rate and all of this Connecticut, by the way,
- 53:02Speaker 1: twenty second. Florida's number ten. What else did you mention?
- 53:06Speaker 2: Oh, well, you just go down the line Georgia, North Carolina,
- 53:10Speaker 2: South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee.
- 53:12Speaker 1: I gotta find them.
- 53:13Speaker 2: You would think they'd be right on up there, like
- 53:15Speaker 2: one to ten.
- 53:17Speaker 1: No, I keep going down. I'm not finding them.
- 53:19Speaker 2: No, somebody got greased on this survey. Whoever did this survey?
- 53:22Speaker 2: Who do you think is last?
- 53:23Speaker 1: Oh? They greased wallet Hub, a place called wallet hub exactly.
- 53:28Speaker 1: By the way, who do you think was last? Uh? Hawaii.
- 53:34Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting, you said Hawaii. No, yeah, but apparently
- 53:39Speaker 1: that doesn't hurt It didn't hurt New Jersey. It's uh,
- 53:42Speaker 1: it's New Mexico.

- 53:46Speaker 1: Oh okay, I concur very good. Forty ninth.
- 53:49Speaker 2: Oh not just Albuquerque, not just Albuquerque. And there's a place,
- 53:54Speaker 2: you know in Albuquerque where everybody fled years ago from
- 53:58Speaker 2: New York because they wanted they wanted to avoid humidity.
- 54:02Speaker 2: You know, they had asthma whatever, breathing issues and they
- 54:05Speaker 2: wanted that dry air. Trying to remember what that was.
- 54:09Speaker 2: It'll come to me momentary.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Let's get a couple of talkbacks and.
- 54:14Speaker 10: Larry Curtis listen, it's fate. If you're gonna win, don't
- 54:18Speaker 10: spend all your money.
- 54:20Speaker 1: Bye.
- 54:20Speaker 10: One ticket. That's all it takes. When it's your turn,

- 54:38Speaker 1: that that's up to a billion dollars now right, it
- 54:41Speaker 1: is a billion dollars. Natalie's ghosting us.
- 54:44Speaker 11: Hey, guys, why is nobody mentioning how much property taxes
- 54:49Speaker 11: these properties are already paying? What is the property tax
- 54:53Speaker 11: on a two hundred and fifty million dollar property? How
- 54:56Speaker 11: much is are you already paying.
- 54:58Speaker 1: Oh, you're exactly right. No, no, no, this was a
- 55:01Speaker 1: gift from the governor because she wasn't going to raise
- 55:04Speaker 1: other taxes that he wanted raised. Never should have happened.
- 55:07Speaker 1: This never ever should have happened. And like everything that
- 55:10Speaker 1: gets rolled out by this mayor, it was a disaster.
- 55:14Speaker 1: Now let's get the seven thirty News with Daria al Bengerderia.

- 56:31Speaker 6: thousand guns have been removed from the city streets so
- 56:34Speaker 6: far this year.
- 56:34Speaker 14: Has three thousand fewer weapons that can be used to
- 56:38Speaker 14: terrorize neighborhoods, and countless tragedies stopped before they could happen
- 56:43Speaker 14: because law enforcement took action.
- 56:46Speaker 6: Commissioner Jessica Tish, a candlelight vigil will be held tonight
- 56:49Speaker 6: in Queens for the victims of the deadly earthquake this week.

- 58:50Speaker 1: Talking about it a lot on this show about a
- 58:55Speaker 1: massive national controversy. They just had hearings in the Senate
- 59:00Speaker 1: in Connecticut over this over flock safety automated license plate readers,
- 59:06Speaker 1: so a lot of people just call them flock cameras.
- 59:09Speaker 1: There's a controversy over mass surveillance, over civil liberties, over
- 59:13Speaker 1: data privacy, and so the perfect guy to talk to
- 59:16Speaker 1: about all of this is on the phone right now,
- 59:19Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro. Rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from
- 59:21Speaker 1: eight to eleven pm on wor and you can talk
- 59:26Speaker 1: to him at rich on Tech on Instagram. Rich This
- 59:31Speaker 1: flock controversy has blown up now and there's over well
- 59:36Speaker 1: over ten thousand of these across the country that have
- 59:39Speaker 1: been used for a while. The controversy is over mass
- 59:44Speaker 1: surveillance and what they're doing with your data. And I
- 59:48Speaker 1: know that there's been a lot of problems in some
- 59:50Speaker 1: local police departments where the police officers themselves have used
- 59:53Speaker 1: them for personal reasons. What do you think, First of all,
- 59:57Speaker 1: tell us how these work.
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: So it's interesting.
- 1:00:00Speaker 13: I had to look in my notes to see the
- 1:00:02Speaker 13: first time I did a story on these cameras. It
- 1:00:04Speaker 13: was back in twenty nineteen. We went to a neighborhood
- 1:00:07Speaker 13: and they were so excited to install these. And back
- 1:00:10Speaker 13: in the day when these first started, basically, if you
- 1:00:12Speaker 13: were a homeowner's association or a neighborhood, you would pay,
- 1:00:16Speaker 13: you would gather everyone together, pay for these cameras, pay
- 1:00:19Speaker 13: for the maintenance, and you would install them at the
- 1:00:21Speaker 13: opening of your street, at the two ends of basically
- 1:00:23Speaker 13: the opening and closing of your street, so that every
- 1:00:26Speaker 13: license play every car that would come into your neighborhood,
- 1:00:28Speaker 13: you had a log, and so if there's ever a
- 1:00:30Speaker 13: crime in your neighborhood, is there ever a problem, you
- 1:00:33Speaker 13: could just go into that log and you can find
- 1:00:35Speaker 13: the car.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: You could actually slice and dice a lot of different ways.
- 1:00:38Speaker 13: But one of them is, Hey, show me all the
- 1:00:40Speaker 13: cars that came into this neighborhood this week that don't
- 1:00:42Speaker 13: typically come into this neighborhood, and then you can narrow
- 1:00:44Speaker 13: down from there. Since then, obviously, the popularity of these
- 1:00:47Speaker 13: cameras have exploded, and I think the really interesting aspect
- 1:00:51Speaker 13: to what flock is doing is the kind of network
- 1:00:55Speaker 13: they are building. So when you have a camera system
- 1:00:57Speaker 13: in you know, somewhere in Chicago, or somewhere in Florida,
- 1:01:01Speaker 13: or somewhere in Minneapolis wherever, you can potentially link all
- 1:01:05Speaker 13: of those together if you decide to share your data,
- 1:01:08Speaker 13: and that's what makes this giant database that then people
- 1:01:11Speaker 13: can tap into and say, let me find out where
- 1:01:13Speaker 13: this license plate has gone in the past week, and
- 1:01:16Speaker 13: according to all these different cameras in different places, you
- 1:01:19Speaker 13: may be able to track that.
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: Oh so maybe your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, a husman. They
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: could tap into that too. If they're a little suspicious
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: of their mate.
- 1:01:32Speaker 13: I mean theoretically, because these things are typically run by
- 1:01:36Speaker 13: homeowner association. So yeah, probably if you wanted to see
- 1:01:39Speaker 13: what's going on. I mean, look, we have cameras, are
- 1:01:42Speaker 13: not new. We have so many cameras in cities all
- 1:01:45Speaker 13: across the world. New York City has a lot of cameras.
- 1:01:48Speaker 13: The difference here, I think is that the cities run
- 1:01:51Speaker 13: purpose built systems for what they need, right like the
- 1:01:55Speaker 13: LAPD or the NYPD or whatever department.
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: They have cameras for their specific needs.
- 1:02:01Speaker 13: Right, we want to cover this area, we want to
- 1:02:02Speaker 13: watch this with flock, it's a private company that is
- 1:02:06Speaker 13: putting cameras in sometimes private or public places. But that
- 1:02:11Speaker 13: network effect of hey, we could theoretically link up all
- 1:02:14Speaker 13: of these cameras across the nation for one giant mass surveillance.
- 1:02:18Speaker 13: I think that's the aspect people have an issue with.
- 1:02:20Speaker 13: We've got ring cameras on doorbells across the nation right now,
- 1:02:24Speaker 13: there's not one major database that you can just say,
- 1:02:27Speaker 13: let me type something into this database and check every
- 1:02:29Speaker 13: ring camera in America?
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: Is that possible? Sure? Is it happening right now?
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: No? And with the advent of AI. I think that's
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: what the concern is, how quickly they can get so
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: much information on you and then share it. And I
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: think a lot of the municipalities say, Okay, we're not
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: going to share it with the federal government. We're just
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: going to share it with the states that are around us.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's enough. But you know what, Rick,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: I'm torn on this a little bit because ten thousand
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: missing children have been found by these things, and they
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: say that's twenty five percent of the crimes that these
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: flock cameras have helped law enforcement crack the cases. So
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: I would think there has to be some kind of
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: in between here.
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.
- 1:03:12Speaker 13: I mean, look, these cameras, they solve crimes, they reunite
- 1:03:16Speaker 13: people with the ring cameras, they reunite pets with their owners.
- 1:03:19Speaker 13: I think they're doing last I checked, like an average
- 1:03:21Speaker 13: of one pet a day. I mean, these are real
- 1:03:24Speaker 13: impacts on people. And the other aspect is, hey, look,
- 1:03:27Speaker 13: if you're not doing anything wrong, do you really care?
- 1:03:28Speaker 13: It's not a big deal you're finding bad guys. But
- 1:03:31Speaker 13: you know, do we want to live in a society
- 1:03:33Speaker 13: where if something happened and they say let's put out
- 1:03:35Speaker 13: an APB for rich Tamiro. You can find me in
- 1:03:38Speaker 13: twenty seconds because every single camera in the world can
- 1:03:41Speaker 13: use AI to search for my face. Do we want
- 1:03:43Speaker 13: that reality in our world, in our America? I'm not sure.
- 1:03:46Speaker 13: Do we want to solve crimes? Do you want to
- 1:03:48Speaker 13: get bad guys behind bars? Do we want to catch
- 1:03:49Speaker 13: people that do think bad things?
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Of course? But where does it end?
- 1:03:54Speaker 13: And I think with AI it opens up a lot
- 1:03:56Speaker 13: of questions because it can be instantaneous on how fast
- 1:04:00Speaker 13: you could track someone anywhere in the States where you
- 1:04:03Speaker 13: might have cameras that are linked together.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: Well, Rich DeMuro sounds very O'wellian, sounds just like Red
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: China to me, fluck the flock. But let's move to AI.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: Steve Hilton is the Republican candidate for governor. He knows
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: about technology. His wife used to be the communications chief
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: of Google and for Facebook. He carries a flip phone
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: because he says, I don't need all the clutter, just
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: calls and texts, that's it. But he said that open AI,
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Sam Altman and the anthropic CEO are spreading doom and gloom,
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: and that's why there's so much negative feedback towards AI,
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: And I'm saying, rich, isn't this because these are the
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: two guys in the lead of the race and developing
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: AI with the billions that are pouring in, and this
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: doom and gloom statements that they keep mating making will
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: actually force the Senate and government to input regulations while
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: they're ahead, which would hurt the competition.
- 1:05:08Speaker 13: I mean, it's a very good theory, and a lot
- 1:05:10Speaker 13: of people may think that because yes, if they put
- 1:05:13Speaker 13: regulations in place, open AI anthropic who's right there trying
- 1:05:18Speaker 13: to help the government with these regulations the two biggest
- 1:05:21Speaker 13: companies that are set to really benefit from being the
- 1:05:26Speaker 13: front runners and saying, Okay, all you little guys, all
- 1:05:29Speaker 13: the other people trying to do stuff, you know, let's
- 1:05:31Speaker 13: make sure you can't. Look, there is so much when
- 1:05:34Speaker 13: it comes to AI on both sides. Some people say
- 1:05:37Speaker 13: it's going to be end of all humanity. Some people
- 1:05:40Speaker 13: say it's going to be the best thing that's ever
- 1:05:42Speaker 13: happened to humanity, And so we don't know yet. I mean,
- 1:05:46Speaker 13: I really think at this point we cannot stop the progress.
- 1:05:50Speaker 13: We have to let these companies do things, but we
- 1:05:52Speaker 13: also can't let them go unchecked the way that we
- 1:05:55Speaker 13: let all of the big social media networks Facebook, Instagram
- 1:05:59Speaker 13: go on check for so many years, and look what
- 1:06:01Speaker 13: they're doing when it comes to mental health when it
- 1:06:03Speaker 13: comes to teenagers.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: So we can't let that happen. But we also.
- 1:06:06Speaker 13: Cannot let China, who, by the way, is already putting
- 1:06:10Speaker 13: out a lot of open source models that people in
- 1:06:13Speaker 13: the US are using, and they're coming from China because
- 1:06:15Speaker 13: guess what, they're free and they're easy to use versus
- 1:06:18Speaker 13: the paid stuff from open AI and Anthropic. We cannot
- 1:06:20Speaker 13: let that happen in a big way because it does
- 1:06:23Speaker 13: have implications for these companies that I've spent so much
- 1:06:25Speaker 13: money investing in what they're doing.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Rich Demiro, we never have enough time with you. I
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: have a whole list of things I wanted to talk
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: to you about that I can't wait to talk to
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: you next week because I'll take this same list out.

- 1:09:05Speaker 2: out of the hot, sweltering, stinky subway platforms and into
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: these magnificent suites of iHeart and wor seven ten Natalie Migliori,
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: What a transition from swill to paradise.
- 1:09:24Speaker 16: Yes, especially with the air conditioning up in here. Okay,
- 1:09:27Speaker 16: because everybody knows. You go down into the New York
- 1:09:30Speaker 16: City subway system and sometimes instead of standing on the platform,
- 1:09:34Speaker 16: you'd rather be on the street. Because the temperature rises
- 1:09:38Speaker 16: upwards of five to not maybe thirty degrees. Sometimes if
- 1:09:43Speaker 16: you're down there, it's even hotter than just standing in
- 1:09:46Speaker 16: the direct sun, sometimes suffocating. Okay, and the city knows this,
- 1:09:50Speaker 16: and that's why they're considering a new initiative that could
- 1:09:53Speaker 16: change all of that. Okay, if it works, The MTA
- 1:09:57Speaker 16: talking about exploring thermal energy network that would cool the
- 1:10:02Speaker 16: subway platforms, take all the excess heat, store it underground,
- 1:10:08Speaker 16: and then use it to warm nearby offices or apartment
- 1:10:12Speaker 16: buildings in the winter.
- 1:10:14Speaker 6: That's above my pay grade.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Okay, Okay.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: What about the stink though, Does it absorbed that with
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: the heat?
- 1:10:21Speaker 16: That is something they're gonna have to study. Okay, right,
- 1:10:25Speaker 16: and we're gonna get into how much that study is
- 1:10:27Speaker 16: gonna cost. But what do subway riders suffering on the
- 1:10:31Speaker 16: platform think about this initial idea?
- 1:10:33Speaker 17: You mean it sounds good in theory. I'm always like
- 1:10:36Speaker 17: a little scared of like the plans when it comes
- 1:10:38Speaker 17: to like the subway stations and things, because sometimes it
- 1:10:41Speaker 17: doesn't work out, or like it kind of like turns
- 1:10:43Speaker 17: into something we're not thinking it is.
- 1:10:45Speaker 15: That might be a good idea, just because I think
- 1:10:48Speaker 15: heating bills, even cooling bills in the summer is like
- 1:10:50Speaker 15: a really big aspect, and I think I'm gonna use
- 1:10:53Speaker 15: this heat that we're experiencing, we're deducing it and then
- 1:10:55Speaker 15: putting into the wind surf be really helpful.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: I actually don't know how they're able to do that,
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: but I like how they're trying to find new ways
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: to do that kind of stuff.
- 1:11:03Speaker 6: All right now.
- 1:11:04Speaker 16: The city would test this out at the Brooklyn Bridge
- 1:11:06Speaker 16: City Hall and Chamber Street stations, which gets some major
- 1:11:10Speaker 16: complaints about being some of the hottest platforms in the city.
- 1:11:15Speaker 16: A lot of New Yorker is selling me just go
- 1:11:16Speaker 16: to any platform in the city and you'll know what
- 1:11:19Speaker 16: they're talking about. Though, a lot of people I talk
- 1:11:22Speaker 16: to actually holding fans, well, they wait on the platform.
- 1:11:25Speaker 6: One guy's so nice.
- 1:11:27Speaker 16: As I asked him the question, he would turn the
- 1:11:29Speaker 16: fan on me, and then when he would go to talk,
- 1:11:30Speaker 16: he would turn the fan on himself.
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: Oh see, so sweet? Was he flirting with you?
- 1:11:35Speaker 6: Who knows?
- 1:11:36Speaker 16: I batted my eyes a couple of times, said more fan,
- 1:11:39Speaker 16: you get me, more fan?
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: Anything you you a fan? Blow?
- 1:11:44Speaker 16: Literally my eyelashes were getting in the way anyway, it's
- 1:11:48Speaker 16: saying people saying it's about time the city do something
- 1:11:52Speaker 16: about this unbearable heat.
- 1:11:53Speaker 18: I'm not just thinking about myself, but also like the
- 1:11:56Speaker 18: older generation as well too, that may you know, have
- 1:11:58Speaker 18: like any like under conditions where the heat might even
- 1:12:02Speaker 18: allow them to you know, just to pass out. So
- 1:12:05Speaker 18: for me, I would say that that would be incredible
- 1:12:07Speaker 18: if an opportunity were to be presented for us to
- 1:12:10Speaker 18: be you know, in a more ventilated train station or platform.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Wow, what an optimist.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: Yeah, how about we just start on the train cars
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: themselves on the weekends a disaster. I would estimate on
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: the trains that I've taken in the Subwek, one out
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: of every four cars the air conditioning is not working.
- 1:12:28Speaker 16: There were some complaints in the conversations I had with people,
- 1:12:32Speaker 16: But the idea to them is in the time that
- 1:12:36Speaker 16: they've been taking these trains, they've realized that there is
- 1:12:41Speaker 16: more air conditioning than when they first started, when they
- 1:12:44Speaker 16: were kids, they were telling me, So they've seen the
- 1:12:46Speaker 16: strides in that now they want to somewhat see the
- 1:12:50Speaker 16: platforms tackle Now the MTA studying the possibility of this
- 1:12:53Speaker 16: thermal technology. It'll cost them eight hundred thousand dollars just
- 1:12:57Speaker 16: for the study. The agency says the money's coming from
- 1:13:01Speaker 16: congestion pricing. We all know it, leaving some riders wondering
- 1:13:06Speaker 16: where that money has been going this whole time.
- 1:13:09Speaker 17: I think how we choose to spend our money is
- 1:13:11Speaker 17: just a little confusing because it's like tax dollars, and
- 1:13:14Speaker 17: then it's also like just transit prices in general and
- 1:13:16Speaker 17: how they're like going up and things like that. So
- 1:13:18Speaker 17: it is like a curiosity for me, like where money
- 1:13:22Speaker 17: is really going and what's really being prioritized.
- 1:13:24Speaker 18: I'm just contemplating on actually where the money's going. If
- 1:13:28Speaker 18: the trains are exactly the same as they were ten
- 1:13:30Speaker 18: to fifteen years ago, if the platforms are the same
- 1:13:33Speaker 18: as well too, so what exactly are they doing with
- 1:13:35Speaker 18: the money.
- 1:13:36Speaker 15: Both My uncle drives a lot, and he always talked
- 1:13:38Speaker 15: about coddressed to be so high, So I think if
- 1:13:40Speaker 15: it can be put into like a more effective use,
- 1:13:42Speaker 15: it would be really helpful. I think more people might
- 1:13:45Speaker 15: be more willing to pay for if they actually see
- 1:13:47Speaker 15: like an effect from the conduction.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: I know where it goes. The acronym MTA money taking
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Agency goes in and you never see it actually surfaces.
- 1:13:57Speaker 6: But I think it's interesting to hear.
- 1:13:59Speaker 16: Especially young people who I talk to, want to know
- 1:14:01Speaker 16: where this money is going, right, and they want to
- 1:14:04Speaker 16: see the books. In a sess, I just got a
- 1:14:05Speaker 16: text as somebody who's listening, my brother says, fiftieth Street
- 1:14:09Speaker 16: is so hot. So everybody says, some guy listed out
- 1:14:14Speaker 16: forty second.
- 1:14:15Speaker 6: Thirty fourth.
- 1:14:15Speaker 16: You would think the main veins that they would want
- 1:14:18Speaker 16: people to come in.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: Yeah, this thermal cooling system has been used before across
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: the world, so it's a good idea. It might work.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna talk more about the primaries.
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: But first Aria Albinger with the eight o'clock News, What
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: are the common themes in the primaries that happened yesterday.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: One of the common themes in the results is how bad,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: how incredibly bad the polling has been. I mean, this
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: is as bad as I remember in this primary season.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: There's a whole lot of reasons for that. We'll get
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: into that another time. But they have to do something.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: They have to get together and figure out how to
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: get these poll numbers better. I understand in a primary,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: you don't know who's going to come out and vote.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: You don't know. That's the people you talk to were voting,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: and it's a lot different than in a general election.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: But still, this is really bad. And maybe the prime
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: example of it is in Minnesota where the Pillow guy,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: you know him, mister Pillow, Mike Lindell, you've seen his
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: commercials probably a trillion times, was running for a governor
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: and he was in the Republican primary and all of
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: the polls said he was going to win, that he
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: was ahead by seven to nine points. He got killed.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: Lisa Dumouth, who is the Speaker of the House in Minnesota,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: got forty three percent of the vote. Mike Lindell got
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: thirty two percent. He lost by eleven points. And you
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: know what he's not doing. He's not resigning. No, no,
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: don't let me just hear him real quick.
- 1:15:52Speaker 19: If we don't find anything, you know, then obviously I
- 1:15:57Speaker 19: will get behind our party and give him everything, every
- 1:16:00Speaker 19: idea and every plan we had to move our state
- 1:16:04Speaker 19: forward to get rid of the evil leadership we have
- 1:16:07Speaker 19: now in the state.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: But he says, I'm not dropping out because the poll said,
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: how is that possible? That's what he keeps saying, How
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: is it possible that I was supposed to win by
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: so much so.
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: He's now an election denier again, Yes, that's right. It's like,
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: first off, the President embraced him, right, gave him his support,
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: which normally puts a Republican over the top. Sometimes we're
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: times it doesn't. But this was an ideal Republican kennidate.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: I don't think people realize Lisa Dumuth the first Republican
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: Speaker of the House, which is normally all Democrats.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: And she's African American.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: Right, it's sort of like wow, But you know, the
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: president's loyalty was to Mike Lindell, the pillow guy. Now,
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: I need to know what his slogan is because this
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: works in the senatorial election that took place there. Also,
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: did he incorporate a pillow into a slogan for himself?
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: No, no he didn't. His campaign slogan was because remember
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: he had some legal problems. Yes, his campaign slogan was
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: I'm still standing and I'll stand for you.
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: I'm still standing and I'll stand for you. Oh god,
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: that's so lame. He should have done something with the pillow.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: That's what he's known for now. The interesting thing is
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: is that the leader of the pack for the Democrats
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: is Amy klobacher who ran for the US Democratic nomination
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: to be president. She's been there as the US Senator.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: It's expected she has an advantage running for governor. And
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: she replaced remember Tampon, Tim tim Wolsh, who thought he
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: would be vice president with Harris the cheerleader. That's why
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: he was chosen over Shapiro. He's a great cheerleader and
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: he's the one person we found who's not smarter than you, Harris.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: So he stepped out because of the Somalian scandal, over
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: all the money that's been in social service programs. The
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: Ice shootings occurred afterwards of the two Americans, right, you
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: better believe that he was probably kicking himself in Dutukas saying,
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: why did I chop out? I might have been able
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: to ride this out, you know, because of the Ice situation.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: But Amy, but he was heavily involved in that scandal
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to go to jail. That's part
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: of it.
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: And now Lisa Dumuth has an opportunity to really exploit
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: that because although Amy Klobachar is not necessarily tied in,
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: she never said anything about it, never issued a press release,
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: about it. The only thing she's ever complained about is ice,
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: Ice Ice, ice, baby.
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Amy Klobacher has now been in the Senate for
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: what almost nineteen years, Yes, so four terms she's been
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: in the Senate. She's extremely popular in Minnesota. I think
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: think that the first polls to come out on this,
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: she's going to be way ahead. But she does have
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: some problems because now she is completely trying to change
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: everything she stood for in the Senate and say that
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: she's much more moderate and much more conservative. She's been
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: getting booed at many of her appearances because of some
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: of the things that she has said. So I think
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: that she her campaign. She's got a lot of time.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: You know, you've got about a month now to get
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: your act together. And so I got a feeling that
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: they're going to relook at her campaign because the voters
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: have been telling her, what you're doing right now, it
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: ain't worth Okay.
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: So she's the Democratic candidate. The African American Blacks first
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: ever Speaker of the House. Republican Lisa D. Muth is
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: the Republican candidate. There is a role for Mike Lindell here.
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: One thing he does well is manufactured pillows. Right, So
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: maybe he can get up a cadre of volunteers and
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: anytime Amy Klobash shows up, they throw pillows.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: At her, right, I mean, think of it. It's not
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: gonna hurt her. You know, he's already in trouble for
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: the pillows. That what he did. He was handing him
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: out on the unless some of the public transportation. He
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: was walking around with, vote for Mike, and they're saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: whoa whoa. That's you can't excuse me. A chicken every pot.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: That was President Herbert Hoomer. He ran on that, why
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: not a pillow on every bed? But he didn't give
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: up my pillow. Right now, the Senate race, and this
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: is where a slogan can put you over the top.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: This is where the dsay the progressive one against the
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: moderate Democrat who had all the money. That was Representative
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: Angie Craig. She had all the money, was porn in
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: and basically if she were in a place like New Jersey,
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: she would be considered liberal and progressive. But you know,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: a Minnesota man, you got to be there the fall
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: fall fa fa faf left to earn that right. So
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: she had all the money.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: So Peggy Flanagan, who is the lieutenant governor, and you
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: know there's something Lieutenant governors for the most part, never
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: get along with their governors, like Mario Ocomo.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: When I would go up to see him.
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Mario was my first supporter with the Guardian Angels,
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: like seventy nine or eighty two. He'd ask me to
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: come up to Albany. He was always at war with governor.
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: Carry always at war. So she's the lieutenant governor. She
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: did not back up Tampon Tim any step of the way,
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: and Tampon Tim's wife, Guen supported Angie Craig went out there,
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: you know, and vigorously was supporting. But Peggy final again
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: had this great tagline, and that's if you got one tagline,
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: it'll get you over the top. And her tagline was
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: the many versus the money, meaning obviously the mass majority
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: of people in Minnesota, whether they're in rural areas, in
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: suburban and urban areas, they don't have a lot of money.
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: But Craig had the money and it put her right
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: over the And the other thing she did, she went
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: into the rural areas. You know, people forget the rural areas,
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: but she went in there, she was fertilizing feels. She
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: was talking farm issues, even though she was never a farmer.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: And they appreciated the fact that as Democrats, they even
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: have a farm workers party there.
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's just nowhere else.
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: They appreciated the fact that she come up there and
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: actually talked to them, whereas Angie Craig was just too
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: busy raising money.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: The other story in this with Angie Craig is Schumer
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: was hot and heavy for her. Schumer campaigned for her,
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Schumer talked about her all the time. Schumer made sure
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: that she got Democratic money. He's had a horrible winning streak.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: I mean, he's a horrible losing streak. I should say
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: he has just been losing and losing and losing across
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: the country now in many of the races. AOC and
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: Bernie haven't been doing as well either. I mean both
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: of them have had some losses. But Schumer, I'm not
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: sure in a close race or a controversial race where
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: he's won, he is in trouble. My feeling is he
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: knows he's in trouble. He's going to see the poll numbers.
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: He's going to see the AOC is probably gonna run
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: against him for the Senate his time. Even if he wins,
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna be speaker anymore. My feeling is
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: in the next year two years, he's going to resign,
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: And the most interesting thing about his cent he was
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: the youngest assembly person at that point to serve in Albany.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: He then ran for Congress. He won that, But when
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: he ran against the sitting senator al Demodo in nineteen
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: ninety eight, he beat him by nine percent. You know
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: how he beat him, which I'm surprised he didn't give
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: the advice to Angie Craig. He went up into all
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: the rural areas in New York to Modo, I'm not
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: going up there.
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: Well, guess what.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: That's why he kicked your ass, Alfon Sally Boy Demodo
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: by nine percent. You beat the sitting US senator because
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: he outworked him. I'm surprised he didn't get on the
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: phone and say to Angie Craig, you know that's how
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: I beat the model, That's how I became the senator.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: You gotta go milk the cows, you gotta go plow
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: the fields. If you don't know what they're talking about,
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: go to a four age meeting and try to catch
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: up on what you weren't given in high school. As
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: of course, it's a working strategy.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: Let me give you a couple of people that Schumer
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: has backed, not only Angie Craig. He backed Haley Stevens. Yep.
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: He was big in the Haley Stevens campaign. And he
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: backed Graham Platner almost to the very end. He was
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: one of the last ones to pull out. He's got
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: an awful track record. And if you don't think that matters,
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: believe me, it does. If you have no pull for
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: other candidates on the campaign trail, you're gonna be in
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: trouble because you're losing support left and right.
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: Schumer's done yep. I would say it's your retirement. But
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: you know how these guys are these old codges until
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: death do they part. They don't have the defibriator in there.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: If he's having any kind of medical issues, they'll wheel
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: them in in the wheelchair. They don't want to leave.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: Look at McConnell. Maybe McConnell he doesn't want to leave.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: But McConnell won every election. I don't think he's gonna
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: win the next election. I don't think he's gonna win
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: the next primary. I think AOC is taking him on
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: an AOC will. I don't think he's gonna run even
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: if AOC decides that's not good enough. I want to
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: be president, you know, I run this time and then
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: pave the way for a future run in four years.
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: The fact is somebody will emerge from the left and
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: take him out in a Democratic primary, especially in New
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: York City where the DSSAY is very strong, and that
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: that would be where Schumer would have to get a
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: good vote. My feeling is there's gonna be discussions behind
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: the scenes, and I'm sure he's already talking to AOC,
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's already saying, you know, let me
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: know if you're gonna run, let me know.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: Remember he's so terrified as the Socialists that when the
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: sitting mayor Brown, who was a moderate Democrat at Cuomo,
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: Democrat guy grew up in Queens, went up to University
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: of Buffalo, became mayor there, lost to the Socialist in
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: a Democratic primary. Brown came back to win it on
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: a right end paint in the general, which is almost impossible.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: Do you know who Schumer went up to support the
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: social is he was so terrified of socialists taking him out.
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: That's why he is a schmuck, That's why he is
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: a potts.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'll give you a prediction, though
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: there's already talks going on. I think if Chuck Schumer resigns,
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: they're gonna give it like a month and then AOC
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: will announce. If he knows AOC is gonna run, and
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get her heads up on that
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: he's gonna step down.
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: I'd hate to be in the long term nursing home
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: care unit having to take care of the schmuck to
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: puts Chucky chies Schumer. But anyway, up next or the
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: South Carolina election, as Larry said, it was supposed to
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: be a slam dunk for Lindsey Graham's sister. She won,
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: but not in a slam dunk style. Plus a chance
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: to see John Fogedy and Stevie Winwood next. Oh, and
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: now think of the teachers out there. Think of the teachers,
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: because they make it difference each and every day. Now's
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: your chance to say thanks. iHeartRadio Sank and Teacher, which
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: is powered by donors choos donors choose nominating an outstanding
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: public school teacher who goes above and beyond for students.
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: They could be one of our five thousand dollars winners
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: for classroom supplies and resources. Teachers give so much, now
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: it's our turn to give back. Nominated to teach her
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: now at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers.
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: Well, there's gonna be a runoff election in South Carolina
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: to figure out who the Republican is going to be
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: trying to replace. Lindsey Graham, his sister, you'll remember, was
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: sworn in to replace him, and everybody thought that was
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: gonna be ceremonial that she wasn't gonna run. But now
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: she's decided she's gonna run. You have to get fifty
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: percent in the South Carolina primary. There were several candidates
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: and three good candidates. They had two representatives running, and
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: so two of them will now be involved in a runoff,
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: Darle Graham and Ralph Norman, the congressman that you may
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: know has been around for a long time. But Darlene,
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you know. You may think that
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: she's not been a politician a long time, but she
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: knows how to milk votes. This is what she said
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: and I shouldn't be that crass. This might have been real.
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: But when she got up to thank her voters and
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: say on to the runoff, she said.
- 1:28:26Speaker 14: This, this is a very emotional night because I'm usually
- 1:28:31Speaker 14: standing here celebrating with Lindsay.
- 1:28:35Speaker 6: So I know he's looking down right now, smiling though,
- 1:28:39Speaker 6: So that gives me peace.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: But it's difficult now. I feel bad, she sounded sincere.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: Yeah she was. I feel bad.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: But her own brother, Lindsey Graham, was always criticized for
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: not being too conservative enough in South Carolina. I substituted
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: down there at a North Carolina, South Carolina stationed for
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: a friend of mine, did a few programs for him
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: because he was on vacation with his family, and I
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: was hearing all the ads, and at the time Lindsey
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: Graham was alive, he was running in the primary.
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: Not conservative enough.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: So Ralph Norman, who you mentioned, who has been around
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: a long time as a congressman, is a legitimate conservative
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: of the Freedom Caucus. So now they're both going to battle,
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: and the Conservatives don't mind taking off the gloves, and
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: they show respect to her for being the sister of
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: the departed Lindsey Graham. But they're saying, you know, there's
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: no idolatry here. Norman has earned the position. He's the
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: true conservative. The Republicans should choose the true conservative. And
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: Trump has already anointed her. So this could be quite
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: a battle.
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: Now Donald Trump is thing. It doesn't matter who wins.
- 1:29:49Speaker 10: They all.
- 1:29:51Speaker 6: I mean, just so you understand, I like the other
- 1:29:53Speaker 6: people of the rest.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: Also, they're all trump I mean, they're all Trumpers. But
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: you know, I endorsed her. I think she's great.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: It's really an honor of her brother, and she's really
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: a very smart woman.
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: I like them all. They're all Trumper. That'll be fine.
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: Anybody that gets in is gonna be good with me.
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: Poor Darlene, by the way, being a Democrat and bashing
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Trump all the time, like Congressman John Larsen did, fifteen
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: terms up in Connecticut, didn't matter. He got taken out
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: by a young whipper snapper, Luke Brownin in the Democratic primary,
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: former mayor of Hartford, who is a progressive.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: It's sort of like, if you're old out, you go.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: Now let's get some talkbacks.
- 1:30:32Speaker 20: Oh gee, the polls were completely wrong. I am so shocked. Guys.
- 1:30:37Speaker 20: You know how those poles are so scientific and spot
- 1:30:42Speaker 20: on an exact not it's time to stop talking about poles.
- 1:30:47Speaker 20: Polls are useless, they are non scientific, they are lies.
- 1:30:55Speaker 20: They are intended to persuade people to do.
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: So, they're extremely scientific. They have been been having their
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: problems over the last several years because of the Internet
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: and people not having home phones anymore, but they're trying
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: to fix that. And by the way, it's not just
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: the polls we talk about. Curtis is going to know
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: more about this than I do. But they're internal polling
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: that talk about what messages you should do. Polling is
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: used by companies all the time for advertising. But Curtis,
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: you know probably better than anybody about poles.
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. And there's so many companies you never heard
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: of that do polls. Now you see, I didn't know
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: they do polling. But now it's Dario with the news
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: at Attorney.
- 1:31:37Speaker 6: Morning, Curtis. It's going to be hot and humid today.
- 1:31:40Speaker 6: What's shower too before it's all over? At a high
- 1:31:43Speaker 6: eighty eight degrees. Luigi Mangioni will be in federal court
- 1:31:46Speaker 6: on Friday, and there's word that it could be because
- 1:31:48Speaker 6: his attorneys want to make a plea deal as a
- 1:31:50Speaker 6: means of getting the state charges thrown out, but it
- 1:31:53Speaker 6: doesn't automatically mean that would happen. Yesterday, a New York
- 1:31:56Speaker 6: judge promised expanded access to mangioni state trial next month.
- 1:32:00Speaker 4: Judge Gregory Caro said there will be an overflow room
- 1:32:03Speaker 4: and members of the jury will remain anonymous through proceedings.
- 1:32:06Speaker 4: Caro would not say if the trial was going to
- 1:32:08Speaker 4: be broadcast live. Jury's selection is set to begin next
- 1:32:12Speaker 4: month on September eighth. Mangioni is facing charges in connection
- 1:32:15Speaker 4: to the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson
- 1:32:19Speaker 4: in December twenty twenty four. He also faces a separate
- 1:32:22Speaker 4: federal stocking case and has pleaded not guilty. Lizzie Readbali

- 1:34:17Speaker 1: now there's talk of a possible plea deal. We'll have
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: more about that when we come back.
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: Oh, I gotta tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the ripoffs continue.
- 1:34:28Speaker 15: You know.
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: My mission has been out in the streets. I'm nocturnal
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: at night. I could use the help of Spider Man
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: and catch thees benditos who are robbing mail out of
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: the blue mailboxes. And then they are the porch pirates
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: who steal the packages after they're delivered. But there's something
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: even more dangerous to society in it comes to your spam,
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: that's right, your text messenging and your phone calls.
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: And you're wondering, who are these people?
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: Why do they keep offering me deals too good to
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: be true? It sounds criminal. It probably is. But they
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: got all your information the legal way through data banks.
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: And I know you're saying yourself, how could they do that?
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: And personal sites they collect it, they bundle it, they
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: sell it. They don't care who they sell it to. Now,
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: you got to be able to protect yourself because in
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: that bundle they have your phone number, home address, email,
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: family members, political affiliations, even where you do your banking.

- 1:36:19Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni, the accused assassin of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: in New York, had his last hearing before trial yesterday.
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: A trial date has now been set for September eighth.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: That's when jury selection is going to begin. We found
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: out yesterday that the jury is going to remain anonymous throughout.
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: And we also found out that the media is going
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: to be plentiful. You know how we know that because
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: they already said those who get to go in the courtroom,
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: that's great, will have an overflow room after that of
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: eighty reporters and the media. The media has said, no, no, no,
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: we need more than that. There's going to be more
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: people here than that. So they're talking now, they're discussing
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: have a second overflow room for another eighty people. This
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: is going to be an incredible show. As for by
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: the way, the question of about the whole thing being
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: telecast a live stream of it. The judge is still
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: thinking that over. But here is the most interesting thing
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: that happened. A last minute conference has been requested by
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: prosecutors and defense attorneys in the federal case against Luigi Mangioni.
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: Now everybody's denying. Everybody is saying, you know, you're reading
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: way too much into it. We're not talking about pleading
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: or anything like that. But defense attorneys will say to
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: you that to have a meeting right after the hearing,
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: this close to trial, there's nothing else they're going to
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: be talking about. They were going to be trying to
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: get a federal disposition first to plead to the federal case,
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: and then you can immediately make the argument that we
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: can't be tried in the state case because of double jeopardy.
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: I've already pleaded guilty to the crime, and now you
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: want to try me again of the exact same crime.
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: And so it's an interesting legal maneuver. We'll we'll see
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: if all the legal authorities are correct, if that's what's
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: actually going to play out. But we may have a
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: resolution to this case before September eighth, and if they're
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: close to a resolution, they're saying they may push back
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: the trial date. I doubt it.
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: This would be like Fauci taking the advice of Andrew
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: evilized Como that he called up, Oh, these Republicans are
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: attacking me when they were I can mike you, you know,
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: leading us down the wrong paths of healthcare during the
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: lockdown and pandemic. And Cuomo suggests that he drop out.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: Quit on principle, you said to himself, I'm not dropping
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: now this.
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: It's interesting that the federal prosecutors asked for the meeting,
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: That's what's the most interesting about it. So they're going
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: to try to get a pleate deal. That doesn't mean
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: that they're going to go ahead with it.
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: Why would Luigi want to give up all the attention
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: and recognition. I mean, did you see him yesterday? He
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: was in his glory. He had that humble look, that
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: smile that has attracted all those mangenistus who are out
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: in force. Remember they are considered three of them media.
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: They have media credentials. Remember they're the ones who actually
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: said they held a press conference even though they were
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: media after the last hearing and said, oh yeah, that
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: United Healthcare guy, he should have been killed Brian Thompson
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: remembered everybody. Oh, so they're objective. So you got the
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: overflow room. You're going to have journalists there from all
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: over the world. This guy will have an opportunity to
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: try to paint himself as a victim. He's got two
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: great defenses attorneys. Obviously his family in Maryland is well healed.
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: So you have Karen Agnefhilo, who used to run the
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: Manhattan DIA's office for Cyrus Van. She was number two
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: in charge. She got Harvey Weinstein. She went after Alan Weiselberg.
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: And you say who is he, Well, he was the
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: CFO remember of the Trump Corporation. They put him on
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: Rikers Island because remember he wouldn't talk. The guy was like,
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: what ninety six years old? Ready for the grave? Hey,
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: she didn't can't follow on Rikers. And then she's married
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: to Mark Agnefhilo, who was Sean Combs's attorney, got him
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: a much better outcome than he could have ever expected.
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: And he also represented Paul Maniford. So you got two
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: good attorneys, celebrity attorneys. Now you have the prosecutor, who
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: is actually Joel Sideman. Now you say, who's Joel Sideman?
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: He used to work for Karen when she was in charge,
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: and they hate each other. They're like who's score in
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: a brandy glass? And the judge is a real curmudgeon.
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: I think he's the last person who had been appointed
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: by Rudy Giuliani when he was maya judge Gregory Carroll, who,
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: as you said, said yes to the overflow room the
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: anonymous jury. Yes, it'll be an anonymous jury, but has
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: not yet ruled on streaming so that the whole world
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: can watch this trout. I can't imagine Luigi Mangioni giving
- 1:41:26Speaker 2: up this spotlight.
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: Even if the attorneys say, listen, we're getting the federal
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: case was gonna be the most severe. We're gonna get
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: a deal in the federal case. We can get the
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: state case thrown out. If these two attorneys who you
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: so hurraleded, say to him you gotta take this deal,
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: he's gonna say no, because he wants all the attention yes.
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: And because he can beat Alvin Bragg with a hung jury. Remember,
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: all you need is a hung jury, one let's say
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: female or male, who gets chosen out of twelve, who
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: then decides no, I'm not gonna find him guilty. Which
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: in Alvin Bragg's courtroom. That's the same courtroom that they
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: tried remember Donald Trump in that's the possibility, I say,
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: since ultimately it's the client who decides he would not
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: want to give up that prime time.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: Well, the client are his parents, not him. His parents
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: are who is paying for all of this, So they're
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: gonna decide, probably in talking to their son. But it's
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: gonna be really fascinating. That's a tremendous scenario because I
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: don't think I don't think you're completely wrong about that.
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: I think that it's a possibility. So that's what's gonna
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: make it a great story and more fascinating if they
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: do come back with some kind of deal. Hey, guess
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: who's gonna talk to us next? Natalie fuckah, he's okay,
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: now after the surgery on her knee yesterday, we're gonna
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: find out how things are. And no offense at this Chris,
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: But how quickly she's going to get back because she
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: actually talks every once in a while, I take no offense. Okay, good, yeah, yeah,
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: she's great.

- 1:43:42Speaker 1: as you know, Natalie Vaka was not here today. She's
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: been talking for a while about getting this knee surgery.
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: And I can tell you that I've seen her in
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: pain here and I've seen her trying to walk sometimes
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: where she just kidn't walk. So it's wonderful that she
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: was able to take the time to take to get
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: the surgery. She had it yesterday morning and she's on
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: the phone right now. Natalie. It's great to hear from you.
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: The big question is how are you doing.
- 1:44:08Speaker 7: I'm doing great, actually, so I'm sitting here right now.
- 1:44:12Speaker 7: A lot of ice.
- 1:44:14Speaker 6: You know, some meds.
- 1:44:15Speaker 7: I actually slept pretty decently. Yeah, it wasn't a huge procedure.
- 1:44:19Speaker 7: It's a moniscus repair, so you know, you just got it.
- 1:44:22Speaker 7: The first couple of days. It's a lot of I'm
- 1:44:24Speaker 7: all wrapped up. I haven't seen my knee yet, but
- 1:44:27Speaker 7: you know, it's Arthur's scopics. So it's two little dots.
- 1:44:29Speaker 7: Apparently stiff. I can't really bend there right now.
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: But besides that, I feel great well in your recovery, Natalie.
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: Just a little advice. You know how a nick on
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: a coffee table to your shinge or your knee can
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: cause endless pain. Avoid those coffee tables.
- 1:44:49Speaker 7: Oh you know what you're so ri Chris, I have
- 1:44:52Speaker 7: an end of like my bedposts, I always have a
- 1:44:55Speaker 7: nick on my knee. Yesterday I was like avoiding that
- 1:44:59Speaker 7: like the boy.
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: Well, here's the important question. So are you coming back tomorrow?
- 1:45:07Speaker 7: I don't know, we'll see.
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: Really is that a possibility? He said it, like it's
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: a possibility.

- 1:45:16Speaker 1: Oh good, So we'll have you on the air again.
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: No offense, Chris. Chris has been great. By the way,
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: Chris has been wonderful. He just doesn't talk. Oh, Chris,
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: I'm trying my best. I'm trying my best. But you know,
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: you could.
- 1:45:29Speaker 7: Take half of what I say in life because I
- 1:45:31Speaker 7: talk way too much. So I'll give you some of
- 1:45:34Speaker 7: my extra words.
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: Well, he's coming out of his shell a little bit.
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: With Mark Simone, he doesn't have to do much talking
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: on air, but with us, we almost demanded and I
