New Jersey's Governor's race is a huge testing point for the democrats. Looking at the polls it looks like Democrats have low odds for winning the race so far.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, good morning to you. I hope you had a
great holiday weekend. I hope you're ready for the week.
If you had an extra day off, God bless you.
I personally would love to have an extra day off.
Doesn't it feel like it's never enough when you have
a three day weekend, you still want that one more day.
(00:21):
But here we go back to work and a lot
going on in the Big Three. Donald Trump is growing
tired of Vladimir Putin, who is talking peace but his
actions say otherwise.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm not happy with what Putin's doing. He's killing a
lot of people, and I don't know what the hell
happened to Putin. I've known him a long time, always
gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities
and killing people, and I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, I would expect sanctions to be coming, and tough
sanctions to be coming in the next few days. And
Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill is running into some resistance
by publicans in the Senate who just don't like the
price tag. I support spending cuts. I think the cuts
current and the bill are whimpy and anemak, but I
(01:09):
still would support the bill even with whimpy and anema
cuts if they weren't going to explode. The debt and
the Lion of Lennox. Once powerful New York City Congressman
Charlie Wrangel is dead at the age of ninety four.
He was brilliant, bold, funny, fearless all at once. The
list of his accomplishments could fill pages at the Jersey
(01:34):
Sure Man, up and down the shore, from the South
to the Norse. It was a wild weekend, seventy arrest
in Seaside Heights alone and three stabbings, with police and
politicians still searching for a solution.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I don't know if there's a solution. When you have
that amount of people, how is there a solution, you know?
I mean you can only have so many policemen, oh,
so much safety that you can try and have.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, they say there was one hundred and ten thousand
people in Seaside Heights. They got to come up with
something because man, this isn't working. And Billy Joel cancels
his tour and announces he has a brain disorder called
normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
This is a form of dimension that can be treatable,
potentially reversible, but national organizations suspected about eighty percent of
people with this condition go undiagnosed because it can't mimic
other conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkass's.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, prayers for Billy Joel. And how about those Nicks.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
We're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The New York Knicks stay alive by coming back from
a twenty point deficit in Boston to win one oh
six to one hundred, but still trail the series two
games to one. All right, now, let's talk about Donald
Trump's troubles. If you watch the media, I mean, if
(03:02):
the peace deal's dead, if you watch the media, oh
Trump played Trump played, I mean Vladimir Putin played Donald Trump.
Oh boy, this is horrible for Donald Trump. It's not.
First of all, a it's not over. Secondly, of course,
(03:24):
he tried to get a peace deal with Putin. Of
course he was talking nice about him. Of Course he
was holding back in hopes of a peace deal and
no more deaths. That's obviously not going to happen, but
at least he tried. We had a zombie of a
president before this who did nothing. And by the way,
(03:46):
zombie's not my word, that's White House staffers who did nothing,
never picked up the phone to call Putin, never started
a conversation. You know why, because he couldn't have one.
And what was the first thing Donald Trump did when
he got into office. He picked up the phone and said,
(04:08):
let's work something out here. What do you want? He
tried to work out a deal. And Putin being putin
was ridiculous because that country right now is in such
economic calamity. It can't survive sanctions from most of the
(04:29):
civilized world.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets
into Kiev and other cities. I don't like it at all.
What do you want to do about I'm surprised. I'm
very surprised. We'll see what we're gonna do. What am
I gonna tell you? You're the fake news, aren't you?
You're totally faked. It was a good question, what are
you gonna do? I mean, he's not gonna answer that.
He's absolutely not going to answer that. And depending on
(04:54):
the reporter, the reporter is going to take a shot.
But it's time to get tough now with there's no
more carrot. It's got to be the stick, and we
have to come hard on Putin to let him know
that he's being ostracized from most of the of the world.
The EU will be on board, Australia will be on board,
(05:15):
All allies will be on board, Canada, South America, all
with tough sanctions against Russia.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And this war has just drained them. And by the way,
it's also exposed them. They're not this great lion. They're
in no way on par with the United States. Their
military is flawed, Their military is not as strong as
(05:44):
we thought it was going to be what we feared.
The lion turned out to be a lamb and was
not able to dominate a small country. I know it
got help from the rest of the world, but no troops,
no troops. That was just Ukrainians. And remember the Russians
(06:05):
had to keep calling in people, they called in the
North Koreans, they got help from China. They were doing everything.
They were taking men off the street in Russia because
so many were dying. So they have been exposed as weak.
And I know Putin wants to push this through because
he's going to be embarrassed if he doesn't, But it
is definitely time for him to make a deal. Speaking
(06:27):
of deals, how about the fact that Donald Trump says
and believes, and it's not just him, it's all the
negotiators too, saying that, look, we're really close to an
arms deal with Iran.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We had some very good talks with Iran yesterday and today,
and let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But I think we could have some good news on
the Iran front. It's kind of amazing, isn't it. You know,
he switches from me. He's been talking with Putin, then
they're talking with Iran, and then he's got this bill
and this tax cut he's got he has, He's juggling
so many balls in the air and they are all
seem to land pretty well. By the way. He's he's
(07:10):
also talking about a tariff deal with EU. They came
and said, wait a second, Wait a second, before you
impose the fifty percent tariffs, let's do something here. I
think we can work out a deal. And Trump put
it off until July. And so it looks like all
these tariffs one by one. As I've told you over
and over and over again, just wait, just wait. Trump,
(07:35):
by the way, was at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday and
in a it was a wonderful speech, but he did
take a swipe at the past administration.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
The valor gave us the freest, greatest, and most noble
republic ever to exist on the face of the earth,
a republic that I am fixing after a long and
hard four years. That was a hard four years we
went through.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Who would let that happen? That was the military applauding him,
and somebody, as you heard, yelled out, thank you.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The military really suffered under Biden. They couldn't recruit at all.
Recruiting was down ninety eighty percent for four years, and
they were doing anything to try to try to stem
that tide of not having enough men, not hang him
(08:37):
enough women. And now that's all changed since Donald Trump's
been in office for the same period from when Biden
took office, we're up one hundred percent, sometimes two hundred percent,
depending on the branch of the Armed services. And they
put out this ad yesterday on Memorial Day to try
to recruit more.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
No more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, no more
climate change worship. We are laser focused on our mission
of war five.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We will measure our success not only by the battles
we win.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But also by the.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Wars we end, and perhaps most importantly the wars we
never get into.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It's called peace through Strength. Yeah, that was It was
a great It was a great ad. That's much longer
than that, but it was. It was a great ad
talking about how much the military has changed. If you
were scared off in the past, you know, because all
the gender confusion and the woke policies, don't be scared anymore.
(09:42):
That's what they were saying. That is now gone. I
do want to talk a little bit later about the
the tariffs, and a little bit later in the show,
I'll talk about that again because something really important is
happening right now, and it was all all time. Now
just for the midterms, we might see a boom in
(10:04):
this economy like we haven't for a long long time,
and I think that was the plan all along. We'll
talk about that coming up. Also next, how about this
a man attacks a thirteen year old girl and the
girl ends up sending the man to the hospital. We'll
tell you how she did it next. Plus we'll have
concert tickets to give away all week with different shows
(10:26):
every day. Today is the Beach Boys at a twenty
five and leave us a talk back at seven to ten.
Wor on the iHeartRadio app and get entered for talk
back of the day. While you're there, set wr on
your presets. Now, let's go to Mike Kelly, an award
winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com and The Record. Mike,
(10:46):
good morning, Good morning Larry.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
First, I'll have a question for you. Yep, you are
watching the view.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, I see the clips of the view. I see
the clips of the view because I kind of have
to to make fun of them, you know what I mean,
So I have to. I watched the clips and I go, oh,
they look stupid there, and then I can play it
the next morning. That's why I watch this.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Is this is job related suffering that you are experiencing Europe.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Absolutely absolutely no, I'd go crazy if I had to
watch that. If I had to watch the entire hour,
I don't know. I don't think I've ever watched the
entire hour of the view, to tell you the truth,
Speaking of which.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Neither of it's unwatchable. It's just it's just I'm not
even quite sure how to describe it. But yes, I
was listening to your commentary earlier. That's why I brought
it up.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Anyway, Yeah, it used to be fun when they had
real conservatives on there. It used to be fun when
they get into it, like with Megan McCain. That was
that was kind of interesting because at least you had
both sides. Now it's just you know, a Trump ros.
So it's nothing. Let's let's talk about the governor's race.
Let's talk about the governor's race. I love your I
love your column. By the way, New Jersey's twenty twenty
(11:58):
five governor's race is a test for Democrats. Can they
pass it? If you want to read it, go to
North Jersey dot com. The polls are all over the place.
It was interesting. I thought, I thought the most recent
poll out of Emerson showed Mikey Cheryl pulling away a
little bit. But you're saying that, you're saying that soft.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I think so. First of all, that poll focused on
older voters older I fit that bill, people in their
fifties and up. But I think what we need to
keep an eye on here, Larry, are two things. First
of all, it's a primary, and turnout is traditionally very
low in a primary. Only the most committed party members
(12:43):
often vote in a primary, So I think this race
could be decided by a few thousand votes here or there,
which even though Mikey Cheryl is leading in the polls,
not by a lot, but leading enough, I think we
need to keep an eye on full Of and ros Baraka.
(13:05):
Why because they they represent each represents voter rich and
democratic heavy cities. Full Of is obviously in Jersey City,
ros Baraka is in Newark, and I think if they
those two guys can get a large turnout in their
in their communities, they might have a chance. I'd call
(13:29):
the race right now a kind of a toss up
because I just don't think anybody's really pulling away. And also,
and you and I have talked about this before, nobody's
really captured the imagination of the voters with either proposals
they have, or personality or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'm glad you clarified the Emerson the Emerson poll because
I didn't. I didn't see that that it was only
older voters. And but they're the ones that vote. The
older voters, you can get them out of the polls.
It's tougher to get everybody.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Well, that's true. I don't think, yeah, that's true. I
don't think this is going to be a gen Z
election here. I think you're going to get a lot of.
As I said in my column, what the Democrats are
missing is what I think is the heart of the
conversation with New Jersey voters today, be they Republicans or Democrats.
It's all about kitchen table issues. And it's not just
(14:21):
about taxes. It's about the roads we drive on, they're horrible.
It's about the transit system that continues to break down
and looks like a rustbucket. I'm sorry. They can't even
fix the windows in the trains on New Jersey Transit.
They're all fogged up, so when you're riding on the train,
you don't know what station you're pulling into because it's like,
(14:43):
you know, it's like those foggy windows and bathrooms or
so people can't see in or out. You know, it's
just just a joke, and the government doesn't seem to
be functioning in a way that it should, and I
think voters are starting to notice that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well, they took their eyes off of that. The entire
Democratic Party took their eyes off the things that are
important to voters and started focusing on you know, transgender
issues and parental rights and woke issues. And they're still
suffering from that. When I watch these the Democratic politicians,
and I like many of them, I know many of them.
When I see them running, I'm thinking, my god, they
(15:21):
still don't have a message. And so I think you're
right in this column that it portends a disaster for
them in New Jersey.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Oh, I agree. I think you know, a lot of
people look to New Jersey and these off year elections
as where the direction of American politics is going, because
you know, here we've elected Donald Trump last year, so
now we're coming into this what, you know, what is
allegedly a very democratic state. I would argue that it's
much more purple than people think, and that we're going
(15:54):
to have some kind of message out of this election.
I think the message is going to be for Democrats
that you guys need to really look in the mirror
and focus on yourselves. You know, I've been very critical
of Phil Murphy as a governor, and I think he
is just an egghead. He's just out of touch with
where this state is going visa visa voters. And as
(16:16):
I said, it gets back to basic issues in our society.
What can government do? Can they make our roads better?
Can they fix the transit system that sort of thing,
and that extends over into schools as well. I mean,
New Jersey has some of the best schools in the country,
but it also has some of the oldest school buildings,
(16:37):
and I think we need to start addressing how do
we educate our kids in buildings that sometimes are fifty sixty,
seventy eighty, one hundred years old.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, you know, I never thought about this before, but
he is sort of. Phil Murphy's like the antithesis of
Donald Trump. Donald Trump's billionaire who somehow connects with them
the everyday man. Phil Murphy is hundreds of millions of
dollars as a man in Europe, he never was able
to connect ever.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Now he's kind of a he's kind of a he's
he's an awkward guy. He I you know, I think
to be a politician you need to be able to
get out there and talk to folks and shake their
hands and that sort of thing. And one of the
things that I've noticed about Phil Murphy's daily schedule is
that he does these appearances, you know, ribbon cuttings, that
sort of thing. He probably covered a thousand of these things,
(17:26):
so have I. But at the very end of the announcement.
It says no availability, meaning he's not going to come
over and just answer a question or two from the reporters.
And and this is I think this is how high
ranking politicians like that should stay in touch. I mean,
you know, whether it was Anti Cuomo or George Pataki
(17:49):
here in uh, I mean over there in New York,
or you got Chris Christi here in New Jersey, or
even you know, some of the others, even Corson, who
was you know, in many ways an awkward politicians, These
guys would at least answer a question or two here
and there. Murphy is just in his own little bubble,
kind of floating through the.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
World, and he's acting like, you know, Mike, he's acting
like he knows it's over right now, Like I think
he wanted to run for president at one point, but
I think it's over. We got to get going by yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Believe that.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, I know. Mike Kelly's an award winning columnist for
North Jersey dot Com and The Record. You can read
his stuff at North Jersey dot Com. Thanks a lot, Mike,
Thanks Larry ticket Well. Big weekend in sports, Nicks one
that's looked good. Yankees look good. Let's let's find out
what Warner Wolf, the legendary sportscaster, wants to talk about.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Warner all right, Larry, Well, first of all, on the Knicks,
you realize that in Game three, the last nine minutes
of the game, the Knicks are trailing by five. They
made their last fourteen foul shots fourteen out of fourteen. Man, man,
I mean that's it. Game. Meanwhile, the same time, the
(19:02):
Pacers missed twelve of the last sixteen shots from the field.
So that was your ballgame tonight is a course game four.
But man of foul shooting, it's it's always overlooked. I
think remember Rick Barry used to shoot underhand and he
couldn't He was a ninety percent foul shooter, and he
(19:23):
couldn't understand why guys like Shaq wouldn't, you know, shoot underhand.
It wasn't manly enough.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's exactly the reason. You know who used to shoot underhand,
and he was a pretty good foul shooter underhand was Wilt.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Well. Actually that's not true. Oh he holds the record
for most foul shots. He made twenty eight out of
thirty two in that when he scored one hundred points.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
But no No. I mean before he changed, he was
shooting underhand, and then he changed. He shot much better
underhand than he did. Oh, I say, yeah, that's what
I was talking about.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Hey, how about this Oklahoma City thunder Jalen Williams the
Guy's find twenty five thousand by the NBA. He wore
a T shirt in the postgame. It's spelled out the
word f he spelled it out, followed by art Let's dance.
He was referring to the British band Madness. But here's
(20:22):
the question. How much did the makers and sponsors of
the T shirt that he wore pay him to wear it?
I bet it was more than the twenty five thousand
dollars five bows. Over the week, Baseball oriole new manager
Tony Mansolino. He takes out his starter, Kade Povich no
(20:45):
relation to Maury by the way, after five innings with
a two to one lead over the Red Sox because
of the overrated pitch count, he puts in his bullpen.
The bullpen gives up sixteen hits in eighteen rum and
the Orioles lose nine. Keep that up, Tony, you'll go
(21:05):
back to coaching third base. And what about man? You
gotta stop this water down save rule. Sunday Yankees right
hander Luke Weaver. He came into a five to three
ball game ninth inning against Colorado, gave up a home
run and two singles, and the Yanks win five to four.
He gets a save for a lousy job. He gave
(21:29):
up a run. Put the tying run at second and
the winning run at first. Change the rule, no save
when you put the tying and winning runs on base,
period and the bull. The week goes to the Chicago
Sun Times newspaper who printed a list of fake books
(21:50):
with fake titles that don't exist, generated by a freelance
writer using artificial intelligence. Can you imagine going into that
a Chicago bookstore? What do you mean the book doesn't
I read the list of Chicago sometimes All right, time
(22:14):
now for the three stooges, All right stage Number one
New York Attorney General Latita James, who claims she just
made a mistake when, for better tax reasons, said that
Virginia and not New York was her primary residence.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Mistake, Come on, Latita, you.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Don't know where you live. And then Latita, who's being
investigated for tax fraud and mortgage fraud, said she made
a mistake putting her father's name as her husband, so
she should get a favorable mortgage. Come on, Latita, get
a map and get some glasses.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'll tell you what, Latitia James. She's in trouble. She's
in some big trouble here, you know. And she's changed
your tone too. You know this woman might be going
to jail.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Well, that's possibility. She got to know where she lives only,
and it's mandatory if you if you're attorney, you have
to live reside in New York. Well stuege number three,
number two. Rather Harvard psychology professor Stephen Pinker, whose New
York Times headline said what we lose if we lose Harvard, Stephen,
(23:32):
I'll tell you what you lose.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
A school that lets.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Anti Semitism run rapid and didn't try to do anything
about it until your president dummied up, before congresson resigned,
and until you lost two and a half billion dollars
in grants, and until big time donors stopped donating to
an anti Semitic university. That's what we lose. Who you kidding?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I didn't know until Reder that thirty percent of their
students come from other countries.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
It's incredible to.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Me it is stooge number three. All the jealous NFL
teams who voted against the tush push, envious of the
Eagles and Bills Jalen Hurts six one two twenty five
and Josh Allen sixty five two thirty five combined to
make eighty seven percent of the tush pushes. For all
(24:30):
you other twenty two teams who voted against it, go
out and get some big ass quarterbacks in Lineman. Just
for the record, it was illegal for you to push
or pull the teammate until two thousand and five. It
was simple. They just called it a quarterback sneak and
finally say so long that Kansas City Chiefs longtime super
(24:54):
fan Xavier Babador known as Chiefs of Aholic, who showed
up at Chiefs games wearing a complete wolf outfit, including
a wolf mask, wolf clause, wolf ears sticking out of
the costume. The thirty year old Wolfman, and I'm certain
(25:17):
Larry would call him wolf.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I was waiting for it, waiting.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
The thirteen year old Wolfman was indicted by a federal
grand jury after he admitted the stealing almost a million
dollars from eleven different banks in seven different states. So
poor guy.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, now I'm so glad I didn't have to read
that story.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
You want to quick quiz? Go ahead, okay, Larry, this
is this is for you.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
So far, there have been over fifteen hundred games played
in the major leagues up until yesterday, and two stars
pitchers per each game, so that's three thousand starts. How
many complete games had there been this year? In the
three thousand starts?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Oh, what a great question. I'm going to say really low.
How about twelve.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
That's a pretty good guess. Eight eight man. The latest
was the Tiger's Tarik Schooble, who went all the way
over the weekend against Cleveland on a two hitter.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Oh the great Tyreek schoobl Hey, Water, thanks a lot,
Water Wolf, legendary sportscaster, Thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Water.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
All right, thank you, Larry,
Hey, good morning to you. I hope you had a
great holiday weekend. I hope you're ready for the week.
If you had an extra day off, God bless you.
I personally would love to have an extra day off.
Doesn't it feel like it's never enough when you have
a three day weekend, you still want that one more day.
(00:21):
But here we go back to work and a lot
going on in the Big Three. Donald Trump is growing
tired of Vladimir Putin, who is talking peace but his
actions say otherwise.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm not happy with what Putin's doing. He's killing a
lot of people, and I don't know what the hell
happened to Putin. I've known him a long time, always
gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities
and killing people, and I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, I would expect sanctions to be coming, and tough
sanctions to be coming in the next few days. And
Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill is running into some resistance
by publicans in the Senate who just don't like the
price tag. I support spending cuts. I think the cuts
current and the bill are whimpy and anemak, but I
(01:09):
still would support the bill even with whimpy and anema
cuts if they weren't going to explode. The debt and
the Lion of Lennox. Once powerful New York City Congressman
Charlie Wrangel is dead at the age of ninety four.
He was brilliant, bold, funny, fearless all at once. The
list of his accomplishments could fill pages at the Jersey
(01:34):
Sure Man, up and down the shore, from the South
to the Norse. It was a wild weekend, seventy arrest
in Seaside Heights alone and three stabbings, with police and
politicians still searching for a solution.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I don't know if there's a solution. When you have
that amount of people, how is there a solution, you know?
I mean you can only have so many policemen, oh,
so much safety that you can try and have.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, they say there was one hundred and ten thousand
people in Seaside Heights. They got to come up with
something because man, this isn't working. And Billy Joel cancels
his tour and announces he has a brain disorder called
normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
This is a form of dimension that can be treatable,
potentially reversible, but national organizations suspected about eighty percent of
people with this condition go undiagnosed because it can't mimic
other conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkass's.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, prayers for Billy Joel. And how about those Nicks.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
We're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The New York Knicks stay alive by coming back from
a twenty point deficit in Boston to win one oh
six to one hundred, but still trail the series two
games to one. All right, now, let's talk about Donald
Trump's troubles. If you watch the media, I mean, if
(03:02):
the peace deal's dead, if you watch the media, oh
Trump played Trump played, I mean Vladimir Putin played Donald Trump.
Oh boy, this is horrible for Donald Trump. It's not.
First of all, a it's not over. Secondly, of course,
(03:24):
he tried to get a peace deal with Putin. Of
course he was talking nice about him. Of Course he
was holding back in hopes of a peace deal and
no more deaths. That's obviously not going to happen, but
at least he tried. We had a zombie of a
president before this who did nothing. And by the way,
(03:46):
zombie's not my word, that's White House staffers who did nothing,
never picked up the phone to call Putin, never started
a conversation. You know why, because he couldn't have one.
And what was the first thing Donald Trump did when
he got into office. He picked up the phone and said,
(04:08):
let's work something out here. What do you want? He
tried to work out a deal. And Putin being putin
was ridiculous because that country right now is in such
economic calamity. It can't survive sanctions from most of the
(04:29):
civilized world.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets
into Kiev and other cities. I don't like it at all.
What do you want to do about I'm surprised. I'm
very surprised. We'll see what we're gonna do. What am
I gonna tell you? You're the fake news, aren't you?
You're totally faked. It was a good question, what are
you gonna do? I mean, he's not gonna answer that.
He's absolutely not going to answer that. And depending on
(04:54):
the reporter, the reporter is going to take a shot.
But it's time to get tough now with there's no
more carrot. It's got to be the stick, and we
have to come hard on Putin to let him know
that he's being ostracized from most of the of the world.
The EU will be on board, Australia will be on board,
(05:15):
All allies will be on board, Canada, South America, all
with tough sanctions against Russia.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And this war has just drained them. And by the way,
it's also exposed them. They're not this great lion. They're
in no way on par with the United States. Their
military is flawed, Their military is not as strong as
(05:44):
we thought it was going to be what we feared.
The lion turned out to be a lamb and was
not able to dominate a small country. I know it
got help from the rest of the world, but no troops,
no troops. That was just Ukrainians. And remember the Russians
(06:05):
had to keep calling in people, they called in the
North Koreans, they got help from China. They were doing everything.
They were taking men off the street in Russia because
so many were dying. So they have been exposed as weak.
And I know Putin wants to push this through because
he's going to be embarrassed if he doesn't, But it
is definitely time for him to make a deal. Speaking
(06:27):
of deals, how about the fact that Donald Trump says
and believes, and it's not just him, it's all the
negotiators too, saying that, look, we're really close to an
arms deal with Iran.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We had some very good talks with Iran yesterday and today,
and let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But I think we could have some good news on
the Iran front. It's kind of amazing, isn't it. You know,
he switches from me. He's been talking with Putin, then
they're talking with Iran, and then he's got this bill
and this tax cut he's got he has, He's juggling
so many balls in the air and they are all
seem to land pretty well. By the way. He's he's
(07:10):
also talking about a tariff deal with EU. They came
and said, wait a second, Wait a second, before you
impose the fifty percent tariffs, let's do something here. I
think we can work out a deal. And Trump put
it off until July. And so it looks like all
these tariffs one by one. As I've told you over
and over and over again, just wait, just wait. Trump,
(07:35):
by the way, was at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday and
in a it was a wonderful speech, but he did
take a swipe at the past administration.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
The valor gave us the freest, greatest, and most noble
republic ever to exist on the face of the earth,
a republic that I am fixing after a long and
hard four years. That was a hard four years we
went through.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Who would let that happen? That was the military applauding him,
and somebody, as you heard, yelled out, thank you.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The military really suffered under Biden. They couldn't recruit at all.
Recruiting was down ninety eighty percent for four years, and
they were doing anything to try to try to stem
that tide of not having enough men, not hang him
(08:37):
enough women. And now that's all changed since Donald Trump's
been in office for the same period from when Biden
took office, we're up one hundred percent, sometimes two hundred percent,
depending on the branch of the Armed services. And they
put out this ad yesterday on Memorial Day to try
to recruit more.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
No more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, no more
climate change worship. We are laser focused on our mission
of war five.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We will measure our success not only by the battles
we win.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But also by the.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Wars we end, and perhaps most importantly the wars we
never get into.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It's called peace through Strength. Yeah, that was It was
a great It was a great ad. That's much longer
than that, but it was. It was a great ad
talking about how much the military has changed. If you
were scared off in the past, you know, because all
the gender confusion and the woke policies, don't be scared anymore.
(09:42):
That's what they were saying. That is now gone. I
do want to talk a little bit later about the
the tariffs, and a little bit later in the show,
I'll talk about that again because something really important is
happening right now, and it was all all time. Now
just for the midterms, we might see a boom in
(10:04):
this economy like we haven't for a long long time,
and I think that was the plan all along. We'll
talk about that coming up. Also next, how about this
a man attacks a thirteen year old girl and the
girl ends up sending the man to the hospital. We'll
tell you how she did it next. Plus we'll have
concert tickets to give away all week with different shows
(10:26):
every day. Today is the Beach Boys at a twenty
five and leave us a talk back at seven to ten.
Wor on the iHeartRadio app and get entered for talk
back of the day. While you're there, set wr on
your presets. Now, let's go to Mike Kelly, an award
winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com and The Record. Mike,
(10:46):
good morning, Good morning Larry.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
First, I'll have a question for you. Yep, you are
watching the view.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, I see the clips of the view. I see
the clips of the view because I kind of have
to to make fun of them, you know what I mean,
So I have to. I watched the clips and I go, oh,
they look stupid there, and then I can play it
the next morning. That's why I watch this.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Is this is job related suffering that you are experiencing Europe.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Absolutely absolutely no, I'd go crazy if I had to
watch that. If I had to watch the entire hour,
I don't know. I don't think I've ever watched the
entire hour of the view, to tell you the truth,
Speaking of which.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Neither of it's unwatchable. It's just it's just I'm not
even quite sure how to describe it. But yes, I
was listening to your commentary earlier. That's why I brought
it up.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Anyway, Yeah, it used to be fun when they had
real conservatives on there. It used to be fun when
they get into it, like with Megan McCain. That was
that was kind of interesting because at least you had
both sides. Now it's just you know, a Trump ros.
So it's nothing. Let's let's talk about the governor's race.
Let's talk about the governor's race. I love your I
love your column. By the way, New Jersey's twenty twenty
(11:58):
five governor's race is a test for Democrats. Can they
pass it? If you want to read it, go to
North Jersey dot com. The polls are all over the place.
It was interesting. I thought, I thought the most recent
poll out of Emerson showed Mikey Cheryl pulling away a
little bit. But you're saying that, you're saying that soft.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I think so. First of all, that poll focused on
older voters older I fit that bill, people in their
fifties and up. But I think what we need to
keep an eye on here, Larry, are two things. First
of all, it's a primary, and turnout is traditionally very
low in a primary. Only the most committed party members
(12:43):
often vote in a primary, So I think this race
could be decided by a few thousand votes here or there,
which even though Mikey Cheryl is leading in the polls,
not by a lot, but leading enough, I think we
need to keep an eye on full Of and ros Baraka.
(13:05):
Why because they they represent each represents voter rich and
democratic heavy cities. Full Of is obviously in Jersey City,
ros Baraka is in Newark, and I think if they
those two guys can get a large turnout in their
in their communities, they might have a chance. I'd call
(13:29):
the race right now a kind of a toss up
because I just don't think anybody's really pulling away. And also,
and you and I have talked about this before, nobody's
really captured the imagination of the voters with either proposals
they have, or personality or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'm glad you clarified the Emerson the Emerson poll because
I didn't. I didn't see that that it was only
older voters. And but they're the ones that vote. The
older voters, you can get them out of the polls.
It's tougher to get everybody.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Well, that's true. I don't think, yeah, that's true. I
don't think this is going to be a gen Z
election here. I think you're going to get a lot of.
As I said in my column, what the Democrats are
missing is what I think is the heart of the
conversation with New Jersey voters today, be they Republicans or Democrats.
It's all about kitchen table issues. And it's not just
(14:21):
about taxes. It's about the roads we drive on, they're horrible.
It's about the transit system that continues to break down
and looks like a rustbucket. I'm sorry. They can't even
fix the windows in the trains on New Jersey Transit.
They're all fogged up, so when you're riding on the train,
you don't know what station you're pulling into because it's like,
(14:43):
you know, it's like those foggy windows and bathrooms or
so people can't see in or out. You know, it's
just just a joke, and the government doesn't seem to
be functioning in a way that it should, and I
think voters are starting to notice that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well, they took their eyes off of that. The entire
Democratic Party took their eyes off the things that are
important to voters and started focusing on you know, transgender
issues and parental rights and woke issues. And they're still
suffering from that. When I watch these the Democratic politicians,
and I like many of them, I know many of them.
When I see them running, I'm thinking, my god, they
(15:21):
still don't have a message. And so I think you're
right in this column that it portends a disaster for
them in New Jersey.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Oh, I agree. I think you know, a lot of
people look to New Jersey and these off year elections
as where the direction of American politics is going, because
you know, here we've elected Donald Trump last year, so
now we're coming into this what, you know, what is
allegedly a very democratic state. I would argue that it's
much more purple than people think, and that we're going
(15:54):
to have some kind of message out of this election.
I think the message is going to be for Democrats
that you guys need to really look in the mirror
and focus on yourselves. You know, I've been very critical
of Phil Murphy as a governor, and I think he
is just an egghead. He's just out of touch with
where this state is going visa visa voters. And as
(16:16):
I said, it gets back to basic issues in our society.
What can government do? Can they make our roads better?
Can they fix the transit system that sort of thing,
and that extends over into schools as well. I mean,
New Jersey has some of the best schools in the country,
but it also has some of the oldest school buildings,
(16:37):
and I think we need to start addressing how do
we educate our kids in buildings that sometimes are fifty sixty,
seventy eighty, one hundred years old.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, you know, I never thought about this before, but
he is sort of. Phil Murphy's like the antithesis of
Donald Trump. Donald Trump's billionaire who somehow connects with them
the everyday man. Phil Murphy is hundreds of millions of
dollars as a man in Europe, he never was able
to connect ever.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Now he's kind of a he's kind of a he's
he's an awkward guy. He I you know, I think
to be a politician you need to be able to
get out there and talk to folks and shake their
hands and that sort of thing. And one of the
things that I've noticed about Phil Murphy's daily schedule is
that he does these appearances, you know, ribbon cuttings, that
sort of thing. He probably covered a thousand of these things,
(17:26):
so have I. But at the very end of the announcement.
It says no availability, meaning he's not going to come
over and just answer a question or two from the reporters.
And and this is I think this is how high
ranking politicians like that should stay in touch. I mean,
you know, whether it was Anti Cuomo or George Pataki
(17:49):
here in uh, I mean over there in New York,
or you got Chris Christi here in New Jersey, or
even you know, some of the others, even Corson, who
was you know, in many ways an awkward politicians, These
guys would at least answer a question or two here
and there. Murphy is just in his own little bubble,
kind of floating through the.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
World, and he's acting like, you know, Mike, he's acting
like he knows it's over right now, Like I think
he wanted to run for president at one point, but
I think it's over. We got to get going by yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Believe that.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, I know. Mike Kelly's an award winning columnist for
North Jersey dot Com and The Record. You can read
his stuff at North Jersey dot Com. Thanks a lot, Mike,
Thanks Larry ticket Well. Big weekend in sports, Nicks one
that's looked good. Yankees look good. Let's let's find out
what Warner Wolf, the legendary sportscaster, wants to talk about.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Warner all right, Larry, Well, first of all, on the Knicks,
you realize that in Game three, the last nine minutes
of the game, the Knicks are trailing by five. They
made their last fourteen foul shots fourteen out of fourteen. Man, man,
I mean that's it. Game. Meanwhile, the same time, the
(19:02):
Pacers missed twelve of the last sixteen shots from the field.
So that was your ballgame tonight is a course game four.
But man of foul shooting, it's it's always overlooked. I
think remember Rick Barry used to shoot underhand and he
couldn't He was a ninety percent foul shooter, and he
(19:23):
couldn't understand why guys like Shaq wouldn't, you know, shoot underhand.
It wasn't manly enough.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's exactly the reason. You know who used to shoot underhand,
and he was a pretty good foul shooter underhand was Wilt.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Well. Actually that's not true. Oh he holds the record
for most foul shots. He made twenty eight out of
thirty two in that when he scored one hundred points.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
But no No. I mean before he changed, he was
shooting underhand, and then he changed. He shot much better
underhand than he did. Oh, I say, yeah, that's what
I was talking about.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Hey, how about this Oklahoma City thunder Jalen Williams the
Guy's find twenty five thousand by the NBA. He wore
a T shirt in the postgame. It's spelled out the
word f he spelled it out, followed by art Let's dance.
He was referring to the British band Madness. But here's
(20:22):
the question. How much did the makers and sponsors of
the T shirt that he wore pay him to wear it?
I bet it was more than the twenty five thousand
dollars five bows. Over the week, Baseball oriole new manager
Tony Mansolino. He takes out his starter, Kade Povich no
(20:45):
relation to Maury by the way, after five innings with
a two to one lead over the Red Sox because
of the overrated pitch count, he puts in his bullpen.
The bullpen gives up sixteen hits in eighteen rum and
the Orioles lose nine. Keep that up, Tony, you'll go
(21:05):
back to coaching third base. And what about man? You
gotta stop this water down save rule. Sunday Yankees right
hander Luke Weaver. He came into a five to three
ball game ninth inning against Colorado, gave up a home
run and two singles, and the Yanks win five to four.
He gets a save for a lousy job. He gave
(21:29):
up a run. Put the tying run at second and
the winning run at first. Change the rule, no save
when you put the tying and winning runs on base,
period and the bull. The week goes to the Chicago
Sun Times newspaper who printed a list of fake books
(21:50):
with fake titles that don't exist, generated by a freelance
writer using artificial intelligence. Can you imagine going into that
a Chicago bookstore? What do you mean the book doesn't
I read the list of Chicago sometimes All right, time
(22:14):
now for the three stooges, All right stage Number one
New York Attorney General Latita James, who claims she just
made a mistake when, for better tax reasons, said that
Virginia and not New York was her primary residence.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Mistake, Come on, Latita, you.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Don't know where you live. And then Latita, who's being
investigated for tax fraud and mortgage fraud, said she made
a mistake putting her father's name as her husband, so
she should get a favorable mortgage. Come on, Latita, get
a map and get some glasses.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'll tell you what, Latitia James. She's in trouble. She's
in some big trouble here, you know. And she's changed
your tone too. You know this woman might be going
to jail.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Well, that's possibility. She got to know where she lives only,
and it's mandatory if you if you're attorney, you have
to live reside in New York. Well stuege number three,
number two. Rather Harvard psychology professor Stephen Pinker, whose New
York Times headline said what we lose if we lose Harvard, Stephen,
(23:32):
I'll tell you what you lose.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
A school that lets.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Anti Semitism run rapid and didn't try to do anything
about it until your president dummied up, before congresson resigned,
and until you lost two and a half billion dollars
in grants, and until big time donors stopped donating to
an anti Semitic university. That's what we lose. Who you kidding?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I didn't know until Reder that thirty percent of their
students come from other countries.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
It's incredible to.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Me it is stooge number three. All the jealous NFL
teams who voted against the tush push, envious of the
Eagles and Bills Jalen Hurts six one two twenty five
and Josh Allen sixty five two thirty five combined to
make eighty seven percent of the tush pushes. For all
(24:30):
you other twenty two teams who voted against it, go
out and get some big ass quarterbacks in Lineman. Just
for the record, it was illegal for you to push
or pull the teammate until two thousand and five. It
was simple. They just called it a quarterback sneak and
finally say so long that Kansas City Chiefs longtime super
(24:54):
fan Xavier Babador known as Chiefs of Aholic, who showed
up at Chiefs games wearing a complete wolf outfit, including
a wolf mask, wolf clause, wolf ears sticking out of
the costume. The thirty year old Wolfman, and I'm certain
(25:17):
Larry would call him wolf.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I was waiting for it, waiting.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
The thirteen year old Wolfman was indicted by a federal
grand jury after he admitted the stealing almost a million
dollars from eleven different banks in seven different states. So
poor guy.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, now I'm so glad I didn't have to read
that story.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
You want to quick quiz? Go ahead, okay, Larry, this
is this is for you.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
So far, there have been over fifteen hundred games played
in the major leagues up until yesterday, and two stars
pitchers per each game, so that's three thousand starts. How
many complete games had there been this year? In the
three thousand starts?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Oh, what a great question. I'm going to say really low.
How about twelve.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
That's a pretty good guess. Eight eight man. The latest
was the Tiger's Tarik Schooble, who went all the way
over the weekend against Cleveland on a two hitter.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Oh the great Tyreek schoobl Hey, Water, thanks a lot,
Water Wolf, legendary sportscaster, Thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Water.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
All right, thank you, Larry,
