Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. Tell you're gonna be a gorgeous day. It's
gonna be a nice day again tomorrow, but you know
what's coming. The weekends are wreck scattered showers Saturday, showers
on Sunday not going to be as warm. We somehow
got to get out of this pattern. Wheen's the summer, right?
(00:20):
This is officially summer? Are we in summer yet?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I think that's usual around the twenty first or something?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Right? Right, isn't I thought we had the unofficial beginning.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Of Oh well, we are summer absolutely once Memorial Day
comes unofficial.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, we should not be having rainy weekend. We're in
a summer state of mind. Oh yes, in the Big three.
Thanks again, by the way for being with us this morning.
A large anti ice protest is planned for this weekend,
and NYPD says it is ready.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We are fully able to police these protests well and
professionally and ensure that everyone can get out there express
their thoughts peacefully, and if there is any violence, we
will step in swiftly.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
These follow the riots in LA that Gavin Newsom and
Mayor Bass say weren't violent until Trump sent in the
National Guard.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
We've been lied to from the very beginning. The politicians,
California politicians, the mayor of Los Angeles, our governor, have
completely failed in that nothing was happening in the beginning.
It was allowed to spiral out of control, and then
they have created this narrative that completely defies facts and
a timeline that we know happened.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
That is the sheriff of nearby Riverside in the Harvey
Weinstein Ramp trial. After five days of deliberations, we have
a partial verdict and the Weinstein lawyers are calling it
a victory. It's not a victory.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
It's a conviction of one of the three counts, and
one of them hasn't been decided.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We don't even know the outcome.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
They have been trying constantly for two weeks to get
a missed trial they wanted to do over, and instead
they're going to get a conviction.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It's not the worst thing that could have happened, but
it's no victory. And remember all of the dire predictions
about inflation and how bad the economy was going to
be because of the tariffs, Well, the new inflation numbers
are out and they're pretty good. And a new trade
deal with China is near.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
China has agreed to open their markets to the United
States separately of this deal. And when it comes to
this deal, we're going back to the terms that were
agreed upon in Geneva for the release of some of
those critical minerals and the magnets from China to the
United States. And we have agreed to fully comply with
the Geneva agreement as well.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So there's already details out and the trade deal with
China may be announced as early as today. And a
true musical legend, a true visionary, has died. Man did
he have an influence? You know, we have. We have
a lot of deaths of music stars we took talk
about and we call them legends and they are and
(03:03):
we talk about their influence. Very few people have had
an influence on modern music like Brian Wilson. We will
absolutely take time to remember him coming up. But let's
talk about the protest in New York. We'll get to
the protest in LA in a second, but let's stay
here for one moment, because we've had protests the last
(03:26):
couple of days. Yesterday's were there were just a couple arrests,
nothing really violent, just some people gathering outside the Federal Building.
We do have the numbers in now. On the night
before we.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Did make eighty six arrests. We want to maintain everyone's
right to protest peacefully in this city and in this country,
but we will not tolerate chaos and disorder or violence.
And when we saw people breaking the rule or breaking
the law, we stepped in made arrests swiftly.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know, the media locally sometimes is just as bad
as the media nationally, because I remember watching some of
the local newscast and then talking about why people were arrested,
and they it was because they broke down barriers or
they ran in the street. No, no, no. Cas Daughtry,
(04:17):
who is the Deputy mayor of Public Safety, says it
was much more than that.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
They decided to throw items garbage, cans, rocks, bricks, anything
that basically wasn't nailed down, and they were picking it
up and throwing it, and they were putting debris in
the street so that the vehicles couldn't pass.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Now, that's not peaceful, that's not peaceful protests. Yeah, that
is not peaceful protest. And considering the police were in
the street too, they were nobody was injured, but they
were almost hit by all of this too, so I
think they were trying to learn from what is happening
out in Los Angeles, and so that brings up some
(04:56):
great concern because this may be a prelude of things
to come. Violent protests have broken out across the country.
There was one in Atlanta, there's one in Texas. Luckily
those are states run by Republicans, and they both called
in the National Guard immediately and they were quelled. The
(05:20):
protests were quelled well here from Mayor Abbott in just
a little while. But we do have in this city.
Jessica Tish is the police commissioner, and she is absolutely
a no nonsense commissioner. I'll tell you what, I couldn't
be more impressed by Jessica Tish. I think she's going
(05:41):
to want to be one of the greatest and saying
a lot too, I think she's going to be one
of the greatest police commissioners this city's ever had. And
also Eric Adams, a former comp has been has been
strong on all of this. But Jessica Tish is very
well aware of what's going to happen this weekend. They
have intel on people that may be there, and they
(06:04):
said look, New Yorkers, even if you want to come
to the protest, you can feel safe.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
We are fully able to police these protests well and
professionally and ensure that everyone can get out there express
their thoughts peacefully. And if there is any violence, we
will step in swiftly.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes, they will step in swiftly. And Eric Adams was
out the other day is saying the exact same thing,
actually giving a bit of a warning to New Yorkers
that we're not going to be la.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
New York City will always be a place to peacefully protest,
but we will not allow violence and lawlessness. The escalation
of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of
days is unacceptable. It would not be tolerate if attempted
in our city.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So they're pretty serious about this weekend. There is going
to be an enormous show of force and as far
as the National Guard goes, as far as the Feds go,
Jessica Tish has been out in front of this. She
was on the phone with federal authorities all weekend and
(07:13):
she was having a talk about what could happen in
New York. Is there anything in New York? Are you
gonna need our help. And Jessica Tish was on the
phone with just about every agency that would be involved
in something like this, you know, with the FBI, with
Homeland Security, just everybody that might be involved in coming
(07:34):
into New York to try to help out. And she
kept saying to them over and over and over again,
and this could give you a great feeling of comfort.
She said to them over and over again. Hey, this
is what we do. We got this.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
We have spent the weekend on the phone with lots
of our federal partners. I was on the phone with
our federal partners in New York City, from the FBI,
Homeland Security, investigations, all of the different ages, with a
very clear message, which is the NYPD. We have this
under control. We have plans in place so that if
(08:09):
it escalates, we can bring cops in from all over
the city. We have an army of thirty four thousand
uniform members of the service in New York City, and
New Yorkers should know that the NYPD is prepared for
whatever comes our way.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And Donald Trump has already come out and said they
have no plans, none whatsoever, of sending the National Guard
into New York. I think that's the trust he has
in the NYPD. Hey, the guy you heard from a
second ago, Caz Daughtry, He was out golfing with Trump
the other day. So Donald Trump is very well aware
(08:44):
of how great the NYPD is, not only in intelligence
but in counter terrorism. And they have been, of course,
because we have been the subject of you know, of
course nine to eleven, but several terrorist attacks, and the
YPD has handled them wonderfully as well as they could
(09:05):
as well as could be held. They have done a
tremendous job. They are world renowned for fighting terrorism, and
they've built that for years and years and years and
years and years. So I don't think you're ever going
to see exactly what happened in LA in New York City,
(09:25):
and you're certainly not going to see it in any
Republican state across the country. Chicago, San Francisco, that's another story.
When we come back, we are going to remember the
life and legend of Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson. Plus
we have tickets to see James Taylor at A twenty five.
(09:48):
And if you want to leave us a talkback, go
to the iHeartRadio app look for seven to ten wor
and then the talkback section and we'll put you on
the air next. Well, we're so proud of a jo
by Jack Chitarelli, Republican candidate for a New Jersey governor.
We can officially say that now and potentially the next governor.
(10:08):
I truly believe that's gonna happen because the state has
changed so much, and I think it's changed to his
favor of the point where he can openly talk about
a Donald Trump endorsement even in the general election. So,
without any further ado, Jack Chitarelli, Republican candidate for a
New Jersey Governor, Good morning, Jack. Have you been able
(10:31):
to enjoy this at all?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Good morning Larry, Thanks for having me back. You know
how I enjoyed, Larry by getting right back out on
the campaign trail, which is exactly what we did yesterday,
we're doing again today, and we'll do it again tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So the answer is no, you haven't taken some time
to just to let this all stink in. I know you,
so I can understand that that's what happened. What were
some of the phone calls you got? Is there a
couple you can talk about?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Well, there's people excited all across the state did get
some communications, though we haven't a chance to speak personally
with the President, the White House, members of the White House.
We're at the celebration on Tuesday night, so listen. It
was great to have the president's endorsement, great to have
his active involvement. He's very much in tune with what's
bothering New Jerseys. He's put a temporary vault on the
(11:20):
wind farms off the Jersey shore. He's beaten up on
the New York Democrats over congestion pricing, and he's willing
to quaud drupile the salt deduction on our federal tax returns.
Those are all issues, Lauder, that are really important into
Jerseys and it's being very helpful to the campaign to
have his active involvement.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And your campaign and this election is a reflection on him,
and I know he knows that even if it isn't,
it's going to be portrayed that way by the media.
So you are extremely important to him right now. Will
he be coming the campaign for you? Have you worked
that out yet?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
We haven't worked at the details of that, but he
certainly has offered to do so. And you know, when
people say to me, why would you want to do it?
Why would I want to do that? He got five
hundred thousand more votes than Phil Murphy did in twenty
twenty one, is seven points better than Phil Murphy right
now in the polls. And again he's on the right
side issues. He's done his part securing the border. I've
got to do my part and making sure New Jersey's
(12:19):
not a sanctuary state, nor will we have sanctuary cities.
Those are two things that my opponent supports.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Right the New Jersey has changed, It's really changed. You're
the first one to prove that the last time you ran,
because the nation was shocked at how close you came
in that election. And then you're right with Donald Trump.
Is New Jersey a purple state? Now?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
It is, Larry, it always has been. I mean, we've
won the Republicans have won six of the last eleven
goodmanatorial races, and so this race is more than winnable.
But when you see New Jerseys change, Larry, all you
have to do is look at the Memorial Day weekend
at our Jersey Shore, our beloved Jersey Shore. We had
flash mobs, one hundred and one arrest, stabbings, chaos, violence.
(13:05):
Why because we've handcuffed our local police. That's one of
the other failed New Jersey policies. And although my opponent's
going to want to talk about Trump Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
what I'm going to talk about is all the failed
policies here in New Jersey because of the Trenton Democrats
and eight years of failure under Phil Murphy.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Well, let's talk about the Jersey Shore because it is
it is a huge problem up and down the coastline,
all the way from Cape May up to Seaside Heights,
and further, what are you going to do about it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
We're going to take the handcuffs off our local police,
and that starts on day one, Larry with me putting
in place an Attorney general who supports local police. So
I don't have a problem with canines for crowd control.
I don't have a problem with no knock warrants. I
don't have problem necessarily with high speed chases. These are
trained professionals. Let them do their job, and I'll tell
you something else you're going to do. If you're sixteen
years or older, we're going to charge you as an
(13:56):
adult if you do the kind of things that happened
on our Jersey shore or in the World Day Weekend.
If you're under sixteen, we're going to find your parents.
I'm sorry that we've gotten to this point, but there's
got to be a consequence for the kind of chaos
we saw on our boardwalk of the World Day Weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The number one issue in New Jersey seems to be affordability,
and that's why so many people are moving out. That's
why businesses are moving out. How much influence can a
governor have over affordability?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
A whole lot, Larry. I mean, we are the highest
taxed state in the nation for both individuals and businesses,
and we can lower if I downsize and I will
our state government streamline it make it less expensive. I
can lower taxes for individuals and businesses. We can lower
property taxes with a new school funding formula. These are
just some of the things that we can do out
(14:46):
of the box. We've got to make all retirement income
tax free the way they do in Pennsylvania. Freeze property
taxes for all seniors once they hit eight seventy, make
the first two years of w two wages for any
high school or college graduate tax free. We can make
a number of changes for small businesses, to make it
easier to do business here in New Jersey. Those are
(15:06):
just some of the things that are very fiscally responsible
and we change the perception and reality of New Jersey overnight.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm looking forward to see the first polls because I
think you're the front runner, and there's a whole lot
of people that in the past wouldn't say this are
now saying you're going to win, including Mike Kelly. We
have on every week from North Jersey dot com, and
we hope to have you back on again, Jack anytime.
I can't wait to talk to you again. In good
luck with the campaign.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Thank you, Larry, looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well your lanty, Well.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
We are so honored here at wo R the Dion Warwick,
one of the great voices, one of the great performers
of all time, is going to spend a few minutes

up at the legendary Apollo Theater. One of the greatest
songs of all time, and Dion Warwick is coming to
the Apollo Theater. Dion Warwick Don't Make Me Over One

he's won several Grammys as a producer. Damon Elliott. Tell
me how you two were going to work together during
this show.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Well, Damia will be asking me questions that everybody in
the audience basically wants to know. And the beginning the
absolute true stories as opposed to what I thought, didn't
you do this for? We thought, you know, they'll now
get the I know.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's how is Damon doing. I mean, he's got an
incredible career.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
It's absolutely incredible, and I'm so proud of him. He's
Holmes to crapped. I mean to the point that not
only he's producing a lot of other people he didn't
have to. He's done a couple of my CDs.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That's wonderful. It must be so much fun, and so
you must be so honored and he's honored to work
be able to work with your son. It's that's great.
By the way, I've read some of your tweets, some
of the things you have on X You've become a
star of Twitter. I mean you're being followed by everybody,
and all the comments I'm reading is how funny you are.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yeah, I missed my calling. I should have been a comedian.
You love laughter. I love it, and it's a good
way to begin and in the in the conversation because
a laugh.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And you have you have thousands, maybe millions of new
fans because of social media.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
In fact, knowing that the youngsters are now a part
of my life, they've shown me that they understand what
I'm saying, they love what I'm saying, and even said
they've been taken some of the things that I said
I did or I wish I had done, and have
gone on to greater things. It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah. So and by the way, what is their Twitter
handle again? So people can follow her right now?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Twitter?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah? Of course who else would have that? Who else
could possibly You're just maybe Queen Dion Warwick. But so
tell us about the show. We've established, you're going to
answer questions, and your son's a somebody on the stage
with you. But will it be will be all the hits.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
It'll be most of them. You'll be having questions that
people have always thought I did or didn't you do that,
that kind of thing. They'll get the absolute truth from
the source myself. There'll be film. You'll be the last
thing as well, and it'll come from that. Is there
(19:33):
evening of me not only talking, and there'll be a
few songs here and there, of course, But people have said,
you know, well we thought you did and now they
know what I actually did.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Has there been I mean, you've brought this up now
a couple of times. You're gonna hear the truth. Has
there been a lot of disinformation about you and your
career over the years.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Always, I don't think I'm the only one I said disinformation?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I mean, is there things that you feel like you
need to clear up?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I think that people want to know the absolute truths,
you know, and I think they're going to feel that
they've gotten it based on the fact that I'm the
one telling them what it actually is or was.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well, this is really exciting for New York, for the
Apollo Theater. I'm sure for you and your son to
be able to go back to the Apollo Theater. And
it's really great that you're doing this before all the
renovations start. It's going to be closed down for a
couple of years. Yes, it is, yeah, And so what
(20:43):
do you think the feeling is going to be? Like?
Have you been there for rehearsals?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
No?

In this several times it's like going home. You know,
it's going to be wonderful. And as it turns out,
I'm closing the apolog this last day. It's going to
be open.

to the protest, you can feel safe.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
We are fully able to police these protests well and
professionally and ensure that everyone can get out there express
their thoughts peacefully. And if there is any violence, we
will step in swiftly.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes, they will step in swiftly. And Eric Adams was
out the other day is saying the exact same thing,
actually giving a bit of a warning to New Yorkers
that we're not going to be la.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
New York City will always be a place to peacefully protest,
but we will not allow violence and lawlessness. The escalation
of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of
days is unacceptable. It would not be tolerate if attempted
in our city.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So they're pretty serious about this weekend. There is going
to be an enormous show of force and as far
as the National Guard goes, as far as the Feds go,
Jessica Tish has been out in front of this. She
was on the phone with federal authorities all weekend and
(07:13):
she was having a talk about what could happen in
New York. Is there anything in New York? Are you
gonna need our help. And Jessica Tish was on the
phone with just about every agency that would be involved
in something like this, you know, with the FBI, with
Homeland Security, just everybody that might be involved in coming
(07:34):
into New York to try to help out. And she
kept saying to them over and over and over again,
and this could give you a great feeling of comfort.
She said to them over and over again. Hey, this
is what we do. We got this.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
We have spent the weekend on the phone with lots
of our federal partners. I was on the phone with
our federal partners in New York City, from the FBI,
Homeland Security, investigations, all of the different ages, with a
very clear message, which is the NYPD. We have this
under control. We have plans in place so that if
(08:09):
it escalates, we can bring cops in from all over
the city. We have an army of thirty four thousand
uniform members of the service in New York City, and
New Yorkers should know that the NYPD is prepared for
whatever comes our way.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And Donald Trump has already come out and said they
have no plans, none whatsoever, of sending the National Guard
into New York. I think that's the trust he has
in the NYPD. Hey, the guy you heard from a
second ago, Caz Daughtry, He was out golfing with Trump
the other day. So Donald Trump is very well aware
(08:44):
of how great the NYPD is, not only in intelligence
but in counter terrorism. And they have been, of course,
because we have been the subject of you know, of
course nine to eleven, but several terrorist attacks, and the
YPD has handled them wonderfully as well as they could
(09:05):
as well as could be held. They have done a
tremendous job. They are world renowned for fighting terrorism, and
they've built that for years and years and years and
years and years. So I don't think you're ever going
to see exactly what happened in LA in New York City,
(09:25):
and you're certainly not going to see it in any
Republican state across the country. Chicago, San Francisco, that's another story.
When we come back, we are going to remember the
life and legend of Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson. Plus
we have tickets to see James Taylor at A twenty five.
(09:48):
And if you want to leave us a talkback, go
to the iHeartRadio app look for seven to ten wor
and then the talkback section and we'll put you on
the air next. Well, we're so proud of a jo
by Jack Chitarelli, Republican candidate for a New Jersey governor.
We can officially say that now and potentially the next governor.
(10:08):
I truly believe that's gonna happen because the state has
changed so much, and I think it's changed to his
favor of the point where he can openly talk about
a Donald Trump endorsement even in the general election. So,
without any further ado, Jack Chitarelli, Republican candidate for a
New Jersey Governor, Good morning, Jack. Have you been able
(10:31):
to enjoy this at all?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Good morning Larry, Thanks for having me back. You know
how I enjoyed, Larry by getting right back out on
the campaign trail, which is exactly what we did yesterday,
we're doing again today, and we'll do it again tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So the answer is no, you haven't taken some time
to just to let this all stink in. I know you,
so I can understand that that's what happened. What were
some of the phone calls you got? Is there a
couple you can talk about?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Well, there's people excited all across the state did get
some communications, though we haven't a chance to speak personally
with the President, the White House, members of the White House.
We're at the celebration on Tuesday night, so listen. It
was great to have the president's endorsement, great to have
his active involvement. He's very much in tune with what's
bothering New Jerseys. He's put a temporary vault on the
(11:20):
wind farms off the Jersey shore. He's beaten up on
the New York Democrats over congestion pricing, and he's willing
to quaud drupile the salt deduction on our federal tax returns.
Those are all issues, Lauder, that are really important into
Jerseys and it's being very helpful to the campaign to
have his active involvement.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And your campaign and this election is a reflection on him,
and I know he knows that even if it isn't,
it's going to be portrayed that way by the media.
So you are extremely important to him right now. Will
he be coming the campaign for you? Have you worked
that out yet?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
We haven't worked at the details of that, but he
certainly has offered to do so. And you know, when
people say to me, why would you want to do it?
Why would I want to do that? He got five
hundred thousand more votes than Phil Murphy did in twenty
twenty one, is seven points better than Phil Murphy right
now in the polls. And again he's on the right
side issues. He's done his part securing the border. I've
got to do my part and making sure New Jersey's
(12:19):
not a sanctuary state, nor will we have sanctuary cities.
Those are two things that my opponent supports.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Right the New Jersey has changed, It's really changed. You're
the first one to prove that the last time you ran,
because the nation was shocked at how close you came
in that election. And then you're right with Donald Trump.
Is New Jersey a purple state? Now?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
It is, Larry, it always has been. I mean, we've
won the Republicans have won six of the last eleven
goodmanatorial races, and so this race is more than winnable.
But when you see New Jerseys change, Larry, all you
have to do is look at the Memorial Day weekend
at our Jersey Shore, our beloved Jersey Shore. We had
flash mobs, one hundred and one arrest, stabbings, chaos, violence.
(13:05):
Why because we've handcuffed our local police. That's one of
the other failed New Jersey policies. And although my opponent's
going to want to talk about Trump Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
what I'm going to talk about is all the failed
policies here in New Jersey because of the Trenton Democrats
and eight years of failure under Phil Murphy.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Well, let's talk about the Jersey Shore because it is
it is a huge problem up and down the coastline,
all the way from Cape May up to Seaside Heights,
and further, what are you going to do about it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
We're going to take the handcuffs off our local police,
and that starts on day one, Larry with me putting
in place an Attorney general who supports local police. So
I don't have a problem with canines for crowd control.
I don't have a problem with no knock warrants. I
don't have problem necessarily with high speed chases. These are
trained professionals. Let them do their job, and I'll tell
you something else you're going to do. If you're sixteen
years or older, we're going to charge you as an
(13:56):
adult if you do the kind of things that happened
on our Jersey shore or in the World Day Weekend.
If you're under sixteen, we're going to find your parents.
I'm sorry that we've gotten to this point, but there's
got to be a consequence for the kind of chaos
we saw on our boardwalk of the World Day Weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The number one issue in New Jersey seems to be affordability,
and that's why so many people are moving out. That's
why businesses are moving out. How much influence can a
governor have over affordability?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
A whole lot, Larry. I mean, we are the highest
taxed state in the nation for both individuals and businesses,
and we can lower if I downsize and I will
our state government streamline it make it less expensive. I
can lower taxes for individuals and businesses. We can lower
property taxes with a new school funding formula. These are
just some of the things that we can do out
(14:46):
of the box. We've got to make all retirement income
tax free the way they do in Pennsylvania. Freeze property
taxes for all seniors once they hit eight seventy, make
the first two years of w two wages for any
high school or college graduate tax free. We can make
a number of changes for small businesses, to make it
easier to do business here in New Jersey. Those are
(15:06):
just some of the things that are very fiscally responsible
and we change the perception and reality of New Jersey overnight.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm looking forward to see the first polls because I
think you're the front runner, and there's a whole lot
of people that in the past wouldn't say this are
now saying you're going to win, including Mike Kelly. We
have on every week from North Jersey dot com, and
we hope to have you back on again, Jack anytime.
I can't wait to talk to you again. In good
luck with the campaign.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Thank you, Larry, looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well your lanty, Well.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
We are so honored here at wo R the Dion Warwick,
one of the great voices, one of the great performers
of all time, is going to spend a few minutes

he's won several Grammys as a producer. Damon Elliott. Tell
me how you two were going to work together during
this show.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Well, Damia will be asking me questions that everybody in
the audience basically wants to know. And the beginning the
absolute true stories as opposed to what I thought, didn't
you do this for? We thought, you know, they'll now
get the I know.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's how is Damon doing. I mean, he's got an
incredible career.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
It's absolutely incredible, and I'm so proud of him. He's
Holmes to crapped. I mean to the point that not
only he's producing a lot of other people he didn't
have to. He's done a couple of my CDs.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That's wonderful. It must be so much fun, and so
you must be so honored and he's honored to work
be able to work with your son. It's that's great.
By the way, I've read some of your tweets, some
of the things you have on X You've become a
star of Twitter. I mean you're being followed by everybody,
and all the comments I'm reading is how funny you are.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yeah, I missed my calling. I should have been a comedian.
You love laughter. I love it, and it's a good
way to begin and in the in the conversation because
a laugh.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And you have you have thousands, maybe millions of new
fans because of social media.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
In fact, knowing that the youngsters are now a part
of my life, they've shown me that they understand what
I'm saying, they love what I'm saying, and even said
they've been taken some of the things that I said
I did or I wish I had done, and have
gone on to greater things. It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah. So and by the way, what is their Twitter
handle again? So people can follow her right now?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Twitter?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah? Of course who else would have that? Who else
could possibly You're just maybe Queen Dion Warwick. But so
tell us about the show. We've established, you're going to
answer questions, and your son's a somebody on the stage
with you. But will it be will be all the hits.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
It'll be most of them. You'll be having questions that
people have always thought I did or didn't you do that,
that kind of thing. They'll get the absolute truth from
the source myself. There'll be film. You'll be the last
thing as well, and it'll come from that. Is there
(19:33):
evening of me not only talking, and there'll be a
few songs here and there, of course, But people have said,
you know, well we thought you did and now they
know what I actually did.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Has there been I mean, you've brought this up now
a couple of times. You're gonna hear the truth. Has
there been a lot of disinformation about you and your
career over the years.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Always, I don't think I'm the only one I said disinformation?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I mean, is there things that you feel like you
need to clear up?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I think that people want to know the absolute truths,
you know, and I think they're going to feel that
they've gotten it based on the fact that I'm the
one telling them what it actually is or was.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well, this is really exciting for New York, for the
Apollo Theater. I'm sure for you and your son to
be able to go back to the Apollo Theater. And
it's really great that you're doing this before all the
renovations start. It's going to be closed down for a
couple of years. Yes, it is, yeah, And so what
(20:43):
do you think the feeling is going to be? Like?
Have you been there for rehearsals?

be open.
