Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the weekend. And what's even better, it's a nice weekend.
Today is going to be beautiful. And you know, I
just heard raced Agic say that on Sunday there's going
to be a hit or miss storm in the afternoon.
I don't know about you, Natalie. I like storms on
Sunday in the afternoon or late because if you're down
the shore, you leave early, if you know the storm's coming,
(00:23):
or if you even have a hint that the storm's coming,
you know, you can have breakfast down there. Maybe you
go to the boardwalk, if you have a boardwalk in
the area, you go to even spend a little bit
of time on the beach, and then early afternoon you
get out of town and sometimes you can beat the
traffic that way.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Absolutely, But you know what, when you're actually at the beach.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I love a.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Summer storm, really I do.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I mean not every weekend, you know, but on a Sunday,
I love a good.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You stay on the beach.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh no, I'm not on the beach, but I'm saying at.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
All, oh oh oh, you have a house on the beach.
That's what you're bragging about it. I'm not braging about that,
and it is not my house. I just have someone
who lets me be in their house. Well, if I
had a house on the beach, maybe I'd enjoy the
summer storms too.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It's beautiful, it's peaceful, it calms everything down.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Whose house is it?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
My in laws on a home?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh that's great. You married well.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Husband, Well, lex see you.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What are you bringing to the table here? That used
to happen, That happened all the time the galleries in
the Big Three. Today, Well, today's the big day. We've
been talking about it all week. Everybody's been talking about
all week. It's the summit between President Donald Trump and
Russian President Vladimir Putin that may finally bring an end
(01:43):
to the fighting in Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We
have a big meeting and it's going to be uh, I.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Think, very important for Russia, and it's going to be
very important for us and important for us only that
we're going to.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Save a lot of lives. Everybody's been trying to read
trump leaves during the week, right, did he seem optimistic?
Did he seem pessimistic? And for a while there he was.
In the very beginning, he was just kind of saying, well,
we'll see what happens. I might only stay for a
couple of minutes. I'll know if he's serious. And then
he got more enthusiastic. And then a little bit later,
(02:17):
like in the last a couple days, on Wednesday especially,
he was down. I wouldn't expect too much. He's up again,
and so there are negotiations going on behind the scenes.
Of course there are. They don't let the president just
walk into one of these things if it's going to
be embarrassing. So it is. I am cautiously optimistic only
(02:39):
because of the tone right now. We'll have to wait
and see what happens. But we'll talk more about that
in just a couple of minutes. A suspicious white powder
found at the Manhattan Field Office of Ice that was
in the Jacob Jabbetts Federal Building that caused an evacuation.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
We were notified of five letters containing an unknown white
powder found in the mail room of Enforcement and Removal
operations here at twenty six Federal plasm.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, the envelope and the powder are all now at
Quantico to be studied at the FBI lab. This comes
amid protest after a twenty year old Brooklyn High School
student ma Mood Dialo from Guinea in West Africa is
arrested by ICE as he left his required court check
for his amnesty claim.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
For me to be standing here today.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
To advocate for one of my students to be released
from ICE, it's just horrible. Diallo is now at a
detention center in Pennsylvania awaiting deportation. You always have to
take a breath a little bit after each one of these.
There was big protests yesterday because of this, and then
you find out something else about the person. You go, oh,
so I want to wait, want to wait before talking
(03:54):
too much about this one. It's now been three weeks
since the first reported of Legionnaire's disease in Harlem, and
the number of cases continues to grow to this day.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
I didn't understand.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's now been three weeks since the first reported case
and they now have ninety two cases. Fifteen people are
still in the hospital. The seventeen to twenty percent raid
hikes approved by the New Jersey Public Utilities in June
are now hitting mailboxes up and down New Jersey in
the form of electric bills.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
I didn't understand why it was so high this month.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Two hundred dollars more. I know my electric bill. I
was shocked.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
This is killing us, and it's every time you turn around,
it's something more. And the Washington DC federal crackdown on
crime continues to be a big success.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Citizens are coming out of their homes and they're going
up to these law enforcement officers and they're thanking them
for keeping them safe and making the streets safe again.
An elderly woman walks up to law enforcement and thanks
them so she can go to the market again.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And while having a Newsom hold a news conference to
announce that he is going to read District California again,
ICE officials were making arrests right outside his venue.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
We're here making Los Angeles sacred place.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Since we we won't have politicians that'll do that, we
do that ourselves. ICE rounded up several illegals at the venue,
including a child pornographer and sex trafficker. H So we're
going to talk more about that was such an embarrassment
for Gavin Newsom. The entire event was an embarrassment for
Gavin Newso, and we'll talk about that later. But let's
(05:42):
talk about a little bit more about this meeting. There
seems like something's going to happen. It truly does. I mean,
if you just start, as I said, reading Trump leaves,
if you just start listening to the way people are
talking now, there is definitely a difference than a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I think it's gonna be a good meeting, But the
more important meeting will be the second meeting that we're having.
We're gonna have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelynsky, myself,
and maybe we'll bring some of the European leaders are
maybe not.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's I don't know that. It's gonna be very important.
We're gonna see what happens. And I think President Putin
will make peace. I think presidents Olynsky will make peace.
We'll see if they can get along.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
How about that. I mean, that's a completely different tone
than ever before than ever before. So something is going
on behind the scenes that allows Donald Trump to go
that far and say there's gonna be a second meeting,
and I think we can make peace. He has not
said that yet. He has only said, of course, I'm
(06:48):
gonna have the meeting just for the chance at peace.
But now he's sounding a little bit more optimistic. Now,
it still could all fall apart. I understand that, But
of that moment, at that moment yesterday when he was
talking in the Oval office, he got some good news.
So what brought Putin to the table? Why the change?
Remember the important thing is he called for this meeting,
(07:11):
He asked for this meeting. The question is why.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
He watched him take decisive military action to support the
Israelis and really take down and end their nuclear capability
at least for a few years. And secondly, he's seen
the President make a decision to provide military assistance, significant
military assistants of Ukraine, and he is threatening some pretty
(07:34):
tough tariffs and sanctions to go along with it. So
I don't think it's too hard to conclude that Putin
is motivating and trying to stave off the tariffs and
the sanctions.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Of course, all of those things together have freaked out.
That was by the way, General Jack Kine have freaked
out Putin. I mean, the world is crumbling around him
right now. And I remember, boy, do I remember all
the people in the media saying, you know, the tariffs,
we don't do that much trade with them. The tariffs
aren't going to matter. It wasn't those tariffs that mattered
(08:09):
to him. He is funding this war with the gas
and oil that he sells to India and China. Not
many other people will do business to him with him,
And he used to sell to the EU. We stopped
the sales to the EU. We cut off that money
flow to him, and we put fifty percent tariffs on India.
They have cut back on how much gas and oil
(08:31):
they're getting from Russia, so it's only China right now.
And so that was that's the biggest one. I understand that.
But about fifty percent was the EU and India and
that's been cut off. You put that with the tariffs
and the fact that he did bomb Iran, you've put
(08:55):
all that together. That was a wake up call to
Putin And so he's having this meeting. Now, how do
we get to the next step. How do we get peace?
Speaker 9 (09:02):
So achieve a piece. I think we all recognize that
there'll have to be some conversation about security guarantees, to
have to be some conversation about you know, territorial disputes
and claims and what they're fighting over all. These things
will be part of a comprehensive thing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, that is the big thing to make certain there's
going to be a swap of land that's going to happen.
No matter what Zelenski says, that is going to happen.
But we have to give assurances to Ukraine that this
isn't going to happen again. We have to make them powerful.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
The security guarantee is going to be power. It's going
to be a military capability and building up of Ukraine
to kind of preclude this from happening again.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Because it will happen again.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, it's Tom Karako, he's a director of the Missile
defense project. It absolutely will happen again. And so we're
going to be waiting because any Putin could show up
if you don't know, if he's playing a game the
form KGB agent. But right now, as of right this moment,
it's looking good.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
For mister Putin. He has to worry about his head
because if he's seen to give up too much after
hundreds of thousands of casualties, after horrible bloodletting, to come
out and come away with nothing out of negotiation, that
threatens his power.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right, So there has to be this land. He has
to be able to keep the land. He's not going
to make a deal without giving up the land. And
I'm sure those talks are going on right now. We'll
all be watching. It's gonna be pretty fascinating. You've heard
with Kevin Surreally with us a lot. He's a futurist
reporter and he's founder of Meet the Future website. And
we've always talked to him about tech or the space
(10:43):
program or Roberts Roberts robots or AI. You know, we've
always talked to him about the future. But what we
didn't know about Kevin Surreally until he told us this,
and we should have known it, was that he is
a specialist on US Russian relations. As a matter of fact,
he was on the ground at the Trump Putin Helsinki
(11:06):
summit in twoenty eighteen. I guess this is when he
worked for Bloomberg as the chief Washington correspondent, But it
goes back even further than that. He has been studying
Russian US relations for well over a decade. So with that,
with that introduction, we bring in Kevin so really, not
(11:27):
talking to him about the future, talking to him about
what's happening right now. Ken Uh, thank you, I appreciate that.
Let's I'm going to give you just an open floor. Here,
tell me what you see happening today.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Well, I think President Trump has the upper hand heading
into the conversations. And here's why. I remember being in
Helsinki and it was a very different domestic political reality
for President Trump back in twenty eighteen. This was really
smack in the middle of the Russia investigations and the
scrutiny that the Trump was receiving for his relationship and
(12:08):
ties to Russia. Flash forward to twenty twenty five today,
and what's going to happen in Alaska in a couple
of hours. Vladimir Putin has lost in his thuggish war
against Ukraine more than one million Russian lives. The staggering
loss of life for his decision to go into war
(12:28):
and miscalculate and think that the Ukrainians would just roll over.
It can't be overstated enough. Ukraine has lost more than
one hundred thousand lives. So you've got the death toll,
which is incomprehensible, and then separately from that, you have
these long term economic implications. The US has deployed significant
(12:51):
crippling sanctions against Moscow. If you're Vladimir Putin and you
are going to pull a stunt today on US soil
in Alaska. That is, President Trump's finger is on the
economic trigger, so to speak, with even ratcheting that up further.
The Russian economy is horrible right now as a result
(13:11):
of these sanctions, and they have staggering.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Loss of life.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now, when you look at why the US should care
about Ukraine, one you don't want to have a thug
marching through Europe. But secondly, you also look at the
long term rare earth mineral play that the US wants
to have a role in for decades to come into
the future.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
There are some reports that President Trump is willing to
give up some of those rare earth minerals, not only
in Ukraine but in Alaska to Russia to help make
this deal. Have you heard that? Does that make sense
to you and is it a good idea?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Well, well, I would strongly disagree with any concession of
Alaska and whatnot, But I think that Trump has signaled
that he is very much willing to make some type
of a deal as it relates to the longer term.
But from the pre deal I like to call it.
(14:15):
We all remember the disastrous meeting for Zelensky in the
Oval Office and the image that came out of the
Oval Office following the disaster. I mean, remember that the
images they were blown up at each other and whatnot.
But shortly after that, the Ukrainians and the Russian and
the Americans were able to get to some type of
an outline framework deal that would give the US a
(14:37):
longer economic ties in Ukraine for the future. Why should
the average listener care about that, Well, because Ukraine's rare
earth minerals are so incredibly important, not just for machinery
on land, but for satellite production up and outer space
as well. And so for the US to be able
to serve as a backstop economically on the economic warfront,
(14:57):
because we are economic war against Russia. It also is
good for Europe, who would have to look elsewhere if
Russia continues to march through Ukraine and elsewhere into Europe.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But on the Russian side of this, Vladimir Putin can't
go away empty handed because he is already facing some
criticism in his own country, and if he were to
give up too much and go back to Russia, he's finished.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Well. And in addition to that, I totally agree with that.
And in addition to that, for Putin, I think a
Win would be getting the US to signal they would
be willing to loosen some of the economic sanctions, because
it's not just Putin. I mean, he's an authoritarian and
so he's crippled his own economy. He's lost a million lives,
(15:47):
it's horrible. But the oligarchs surrounding him and the wealthy
aristocrats surrounding him, they have a lot of financial exposure
right now as a result of all of the sanctions
that the US deployed and the shifts in the global economy.
A lot of folks are, to your point, talking about
Zolenski's absence, But I want to mention another factor of this,
(16:09):
and that's who also is going to be watching carefully.
But isn't there the Chinese Communist Party Shijingping. I call
them Larry the totalitarian twins Putin and She, And what
they've been doing the last few months is running military
drills off the coast of Alaska. I mean, just think
of how brazen that is for Putin and She to
be conducting military drills off the coast of Alaska. So
(16:31):
if you're Shijingping, you're watching this because any weakening of
the bromance between She and Putin is in the US
interests to weaken that dynamic between those two. But separately
from that, if you're China, or forget China, if you're
an American who has I would assume that none of
your listeners have economic exposure in their portfolios to Russia.
(16:54):
But if they do have any economic risk and exposure
to the Chinese Communist Party companies, the play book that
the US has deployed against Russia with sanctions and whatnot is,
I would argue the same playbook that the US will
deploy should see Zingping, pull a Putin and invade Taiwan.
So I would look at my portfolio.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Wow, Kevin, that was excellent. Would love to talk to
you again after these talks so you can tell us
what happens next. Kevin's a really futurist reporter and founder
of Meet the Future website and as we just found out,
an expert on US Russian relations. Kevin, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Thanks again, Thank you, my friend, Buddy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well, let's go to Joe Neumeyer, journalist and w Albar
movie minted host. He's with us every Friday at this time. Joe,
you made me more than anyone else A fan of
Timothy shallow May when you were raving about a complete
unknown and I went to see it and it's one
of my favorite movies. It's it's my favorite movie over
the last couple of years. And now he's coming out
(17:57):
in a new movie that I know you talked about
or the you've seen the Trailerer fo. I want to
play a little bit and then get your opinions about it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh wow, Hey.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
It's Marty Mauser.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm in the Royal suite.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I saw the lobby yesterday. Okay, well the never talked
to an actual movie star, you know, something of a
performer too, are you?
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Yeah, you don't believe me.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I what you have a daily nil in front of you.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
This is you.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
You had a chosen one.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's a nice picture, right, what's that all about?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Well, I'm glad you Actually you're chewing me up for
next week because we're gonna be talking about fall preview stuff.
But I like to talk about this now because this
trailer just dropped. Actually, I'm glad you mentioned it. So yeah,
So just first off, Chalomea is sort of one of
those actors I think people are sort of you know,
DiCaprio is sort of similar in this way. Back in
the nineties. In the early odds, people kind of wrote
off to Capri because he had an exotic name Leonardo
(18:49):
and was a good looking kid. But he actually have
really great performances and look where he is now. Obviously
he's one of our best actors. Chalamea is the same
way in performance after performance has been interesting and he
should have got the Oscar last year for playing Bob
Dylan in a complete unknown, you know, rather than getting
beaten by Adrian Brody. This movie looks really interesting. So
it's called Marty Supreme and it's set in the nineteen fifties,
(19:10):
and it's about a guy who's a ping pong a
table tennis star who kind of falls under this sway
and kind of pursues a movie star played by Gwyneth Paltrow.
We don't really know much about it, but I like
that it's based on it. It's based on a true story,
but his name has been changed. Based on an actual
guy named Marty Riceman who was a table tennis star
in the in the late fifties from what I understand,
(19:32):
and it sort of takes the facts of his life
and does a lot with that. He's sporting this kind
of weird little mustache Shalla May has, but he's kind of,
you know, he's playing a real guy. And I think
movies like this are always really interesting. I think movies
that take they're basis in fact, but they don't necessarily
like it's not a you know, a biography of somebody
you know, or it's sort of it's kind of a quirky,
(19:53):
interesting story. And I think that Shalom is exactly the
right kind of person to bring this in because young
audience is like him. But I think that older audience
is you know, you know, we'll appreciate the fact that
here's one of sort of this one of today's kind
of more interesting talents playing another interesting role. And I
think that I can't think of another actor who could
have played Dylan like he did last year.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That was I agree with you one thousand percent. He
should have won the Oscar for that. And I will
go see this movie now, which I never would have
seen in the past, simply because he's in it. So
it's not just the young I'm not young by any means. Yeah, right,
but I saw a complete unknown and loved him, and
I know how great he is, so I will see
(20:36):
almost any movie he's in because I think he's that
big of the talent.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Totally agree, And he's one of those actors with and
I actually just watched The Beach again recently, which is
a lesser DiCaprio film. But I said this about DiCaprio
at the time too, which is that he's always good,
even if the movie around him isn't necessarily that good.
He's always good. But I think that's the same thing
with Chala May and then and then just another note
on that notion of movies, A side note on movies
(21:01):
kind of based on real things, you know. It's that's
I always find that's one of the most interesting and
most kind of you know, you know, kind of fruitful
topics in some ways. The other night I was watching,
as I always do if it's on cables, Dog Day
Afternoon was on. I left that on because I always do.
And it's one of the great films, Patinos saying, I
don't know, you know, I'm dying here. It's a it's
(21:21):
a great film based on a true story, obviously in Brooklyn.
Movies like The Terminal, where Tom Hanks is the guy
who's living inside of LaGuardia that was based on a
true story. A great film called It Could Happen to You,
which is a very sweet romance with Nicholas Cage and
Bridger Fonda. Also based on a true story about a
New York cop who split his lottery ticket with a
waitress hit man, just recently came out sort of, So
(21:44):
movies like that always there's there's a it's a really
rich vein to time to tap into. So hopefully Marty
Supreme is gonna be like that. Also, just as a
side note, directed by this guy, Josh Safti and h
and he and his brother Benny. They they're responsible for
some of the really great films last few year. Uncut
Gems is a really terrific film. They've done a lot
of great things on television. They've got another one coming
(22:06):
out called The Smashing Machine this fall as well, with
Dwayne Johnson as an MMA fighter named Mark Carr. So
they've got a really good streak going. So you've got
a good filmmaker there, an interesting topic and one of
our best actors, right and it's coming out Christmas Day,
so great to keep going for the next few months
for they're looking forward to that right.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I want to get to your summer recap in a second,
but I think we would be remiss since you talked
about movies based on true stories and it's a bigger story.
I get that. But Jim Lovell died this week, and
it is one of my favorite movies. Apollo thirteen absolutely
one of my favorites as well. It's and a movie
that should have gotten Best Picture in nineteen ninety five.
(22:45):
That's it's Ron Howard's a fantastic film. One of the
great Tom Hanks performances. Yeah, Jim Lovell, who was the
captain that that Hank's played of the Apollo thirteen. That's
one of my favorite films. And yeah, absolutely always worth
putting on. And you know, over the last few years,
you know, it's one of those things I've always talked
about where you know, you can look at that film
(23:06):
and there's life lessons in everyone. Everyone always remembers Eda Harris.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Saying failure is not an option, right, But there's so
many other moments in that film that are sort of like,
you know, it could be about guys going, you know,
trying to ricoche around the moon to get back to Earth,
but you can apply it to your own life in
so many ways great film.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
My favorite moment in the movie was when and you
remember the actor's name and I'm I'm forgetting it right now,
but you can say who it is once. I tell
you the line when they all are talking about what
a disaster this is going to be and the commander
overhears it, the guy that is in mission control, and
he says, I disagree. I think this is going to
be our finest moment.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, exactly, that's Ed Harris. Yeah, that's Ed Harris who says,
I think who's gonna be our finest moment? Such a
great film it is.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Let's We've talked about this and a lot and I
could talk about it forever, but let's get to your
summer recap.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, you know, it was an interesting summer. I mean,
the box office was up. Know that this the quarter
of the second quarter of twenty twenty five, so people
have been going back to the movies. People went back
for a lot of things I wasn't even crazy about.
But you know, if people want are going to the
movies and having a great time, that's what I want.
So movies like obviously Superman was a huge hit, and
Weapons has proven to be a really big sleeper hit
(24:17):
that I think people weren't anticipating. Mission Impossible, the Final
Reckoning made a lot of money, and those were all
solid movies. Superman I wasn't as crazy about it. I
went back to see the second time. I liked it
a little bit more, but f one I liked. Jurassic
World rebirthed people didn't like. I kind of agree with that,
but it had its moments and the naked gun. Let's
let's give a shout out. Let's pour one out for
(24:38):
the silliness, the return of the of the movie comedy
and almost extinct as the dinosaurs, but they brought it
back and and Liam Neeson proved that tough guys could
be silly too. It's a great It's in some ways
funnier than those Liam, those Leslie Nielsen movies from the eighties.
The TV show was great, but the movies were lacking.
I think the Naked Guns almost better than those lovely
(25:00):
Nielsen film.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It was a great summer for the movie industry. Jess,
real quick, we had a topic on movies you will
always watch if you see them on TV. You've already
mentioned one. What is the top of your list. If
you are flipping through the channels and you see this,
you're gonna watch it.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
North By Northwest, Alfred Hitchcock North Northwest is absolute. When
Apollo thirteen is the other one, or Dog Afternoon, those
are great movies I will always put on. But if
Hitchcock's north By Northwest is on, I will always put
it on. Watching Carrie Grant in that great adventure film.
Even Maurice Saint so beautiful, one of my favorite films
of all time and one of my favorite Hitchcock films.
So north By Northwest is absolutely right. I wish I
(25:38):
could crawl inside the world of that film. If I
could live inside of north By Northwest, I'd be very happy.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh that's so fun. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, you're embarrassing
me because mine's embarrassing. It's a roadhouse or did you
watch I'd watch.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
That movie, that's what they call it. Yeah, No, it's
a lot of fun too. Patrick Swayze absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Joe Neumeyer, film journalist in wor movie Minted host. He's
with us every Friday at nine thirty nine. Thanks a lot, Joe,
have a good weekend.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Thank clear of you too.
It's the weekend. And what's even better, it's a nice weekend.
Today is going to be beautiful. And you know, I
just heard raced Agic say that on Sunday there's going
to be a hit or miss storm in the afternoon.
I don't know about you, Natalie. I like storms on
Sunday in the afternoon or late because if you're down
the shore, you leave early, if you know the storm's coming,
(00:23):
or if you even have a hint that the storm's coming,
you know, you can have breakfast down there. Maybe you
go to the boardwalk, if you have a boardwalk in
the area, you go to even spend a little bit
of time on the beach, and then early afternoon you
get out of town and sometimes you can beat the
traffic that way.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Absolutely, But you know what, when you're actually at the beach.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I love a.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Summer storm, really I do.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I mean not every weekend, you know, but on a Sunday,
I love a good.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You stay on the beach.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh no, I'm not on the beach, but I'm saying at.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
All, oh oh oh, you have a house on the beach.
That's what you're bragging about it. I'm not braging about that,
and it is not my house. I just have someone
who lets me be in their house. Well, if I
had a house on the beach, maybe I'd enjoy the
summer storms too.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It's beautiful, it's peaceful, it calms everything down.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Whose house is it?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
My in laws on a home?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh that's great. You married well.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Husband, Well, lex see you.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What are you bringing to the table here? That used
to happen, That happened all the time the galleries in
the Big Three. Today, Well, today's the big day. We've
been talking about it all week. Everybody's been talking about
all week. It's the summit between President Donald Trump and
Russian President Vladimir Putin that may finally bring an end
(01:43):
to the fighting in Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We
have a big meeting and it's going to be uh, I.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Think, very important for Russia, and it's going to be
very important for us and important for us only that
we're going to.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Save a lot of lives. Everybody's been trying to read
trump leaves during the week, right, did he seem optimistic?
Did he seem pessimistic? And for a while there he was.
In the very beginning, he was just kind of saying, well,
we'll see what happens. I might only stay for a
couple of minutes. I'll know if he's serious. And then
he got more enthusiastic. And then a little bit later,
(02:17):
like in the last a couple days, on Wednesday especially,
he was down. I wouldn't expect too much. He's up again,
and so there are negotiations going on behind the scenes.
Of course there are. They don't let the president just
walk into one of these things if it's going to
be embarrassing. So it is. I am cautiously optimistic only
(02:39):
because of the tone right now. We'll have to wait
and see what happens. But we'll talk more about that
in just a couple of minutes. A suspicious white powder
found at the Manhattan Field Office of Ice that was
in the Jacob Jabbetts Federal Building that caused an evacuation.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
We were notified of five letters containing an unknown white
powder found in the mail room of Enforcement and Removal
operations here at twenty six Federal plasm.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, the envelope and the powder are all now at
Quantico to be studied at the FBI lab. This comes
amid protest after a twenty year old Brooklyn High School
student ma Mood Dialo from Guinea in West Africa is
arrested by ICE as he left his required court check
for his amnesty claim.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
For me to be standing here today.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
To advocate for one of my students to be released
from ICE, it's just horrible. Diallo is now at a
detention center in Pennsylvania awaiting deportation. You always have to
take a breath a little bit after each one of these.
There was big protests yesterday because of this, and then
you find out something else about the person. You go, oh,
so I want to wait, want to wait before talking
(03:54):
too much about this one. It's now been three weeks
since the first reported of Legionnaire's disease in Harlem, and
the number of cases continues to grow to this day.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
I didn't understand.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's now been three weeks since the first reported case
and they now have ninety two cases. Fifteen people are
still in the hospital. The seventeen to twenty percent raid
hikes approved by the New Jersey Public Utilities in June
are now hitting mailboxes up and down New Jersey in
the form of electric bills.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
I didn't understand why it was so high this month.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Two hundred dollars more. I know my electric bill. I
was shocked.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
This is killing us, and it's every time you turn around,
it's something more. And the Washington DC federal crackdown on
crime continues to be a big success.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Citizens are coming out of their homes and they're going
up to these law enforcement officers and they're thanking them
for keeping them safe and making the streets safe again.
An elderly woman walks up to law enforcement and thanks
them so she can go to the market again.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And while having a Newsom hold a news conference to
announce that he is going to read District California again,
ICE officials were making arrests right outside his venue.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
We're here making Los Angeles sacred place.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Since we we won't have politicians that'll do that, we
do that ourselves. ICE rounded up several illegals at the venue,
including a child pornographer and sex trafficker. H So we're
going to talk more about that was such an embarrassment
for Gavin Newsom. The entire event was an embarrassment for
Gavin Newso, and we'll talk about that later. But let's
(05:42):
talk about a little bit more about this meeting. There
seems like something's going to happen. It truly does. I mean,
if you just start, as I said, reading Trump leaves,
if you just start listening to the way people are
talking now, there is definitely a difference than a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I think it's gonna be a good meeting, But the
more important meeting will be the second meeting that we're having.
We're gonna have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelynsky, myself,
and maybe we'll bring some of the European leaders are
maybe not.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's I don't know that. It's gonna be very important.
We're gonna see what happens. And I think President Putin
will make peace. I think presidents Olynsky will make peace.
We'll see if they can get along.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
How about that. I mean, that's a completely different tone
than ever before than ever before. So something is going
on behind the scenes that allows Donald Trump to go
that far and say there's gonna be a second meeting,
and I think we can make peace. He has not
said that yet. He has only said, of course, I'm
(06:48):
gonna have the meeting just for the chance at peace.
But now he's sounding a little bit more optimistic. Now,
it still could all fall apart. I understand that, But
of that moment, at that moment yesterday when he was
talking in the Oval office, he got some good news.
So what brought Putin to the table? Why the change?
Remember the important thing is he called for this meeting,
(07:11):
He asked for this meeting. The question is why.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
He watched him take decisive military action to support the
Israelis and really take down and end their nuclear capability
at least for a few years. And secondly, he's seen
the President make a decision to provide military assistance, significant
military assistants of Ukraine, and he is threatening some pretty
(07:34):
tough tariffs and sanctions to go along with it. So
I don't think it's too hard to conclude that Putin
is motivating and trying to stave off the tariffs and
the sanctions.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Of course, all of those things together have freaked out.
That was by the way, General Jack Kine have freaked
out Putin. I mean, the world is crumbling around him
right now. And I remember, boy, do I remember all
the people in the media saying, you know, the tariffs,
we don't do that much trade with them. The tariffs
aren't going to matter. It wasn't those tariffs that mattered
(08:09):
to him. He is funding this war with the gas
and oil that he sells to India and China. Not
many other people will do business to him with him,
And he used to sell to the EU. We stopped
the sales to the EU. We cut off that money
flow to him, and we put fifty percent tariffs on India.
They have cut back on how much gas and oil
(08:31):
they're getting from Russia, so it's only China right now.
And so that was that's the biggest one. I understand that.
But about fifty percent was the EU and India and
that's been cut off. You put that with the tariffs
and the fact that he did bomb Iran, you've put
(08:55):
all that together. That was a wake up call to
Putin And so he's having this meeting. Now, how do
we get to the next step. How do we get peace?
Speaker 9 (09:02):
So achieve a piece. I think we all recognize that
there'll have to be some conversation about security guarantees, to
have to be some conversation about you know, territorial disputes
and claims and what they're fighting over all. These things
will be part of a comprehensive thing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, that is the big thing to make certain there's
going to be a swap of land that's going to happen.
No matter what Zelenski says, that is going to happen.
But we have to give assurances to Ukraine that this
isn't going to happen again. We have to make them powerful.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
The security guarantee is going to be power. It's going
to be a military capability and building up of Ukraine
to kind of preclude this from happening again.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Because it will happen again.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, it's Tom Karako, he's a director of the Missile
defense project. It absolutely will happen again. And so we're
going to be waiting because any Putin could show up
if you don't know, if he's playing a game the
form KGB agent. But right now, as of right this moment,
it's looking good.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
For mister Putin. He has to worry about his head
because if he's seen to give up too much after
hundreds of thousands of casualties, after horrible bloodletting, to come
out and come away with nothing out of negotiation, that
threatens his power.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right, So there has to be this land. He has
to be able to keep the land. He's not going
to make a deal without giving up the land. And
I'm sure those talks are going on right now. We'll
all be watching. It's gonna be pretty fascinating. You've heard
with Kevin Surreally with us a lot. He's a futurist
reporter and he's founder of Meet the Future website. And
we've always talked to him about tech or the space
(10:43):
program or Roberts Roberts robots or AI. You know, we've
always talked to him about the future. But what we
didn't know about Kevin Surreally until he told us this,
and we should have known it, was that he is
a specialist on US Russian relations. As a matter of fact,
he was on the ground at the Trump Putin Helsinki
(11:06):
summit in twoenty eighteen. I guess this is when he
worked for Bloomberg as the chief Washington correspondent, But it
goes back even further than that. He has been studying
Russian US relations for well over a decade. So with that,
with that introduction, we bring in Kevin so really, not
(11:27):
talking to him about the future, talking to him about
what's happening right now. Ken Uh, thank you, I appreciate that.
Let's I'm going to give you just an open floor. Here,
tell me what you see happening today.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Well, I think President Trump has the upper hand heading
into the conversations. And here's why. I remember being in
Helsinki and it was a very different domestic political reality
for President Trump back in twenty eighteen. This was really
smack in the middle of the Russia investigations and the
scrutiny that the Trump was receiving for his relationship and
(12:08):
ties to Russia. Flash forward to twenty twenty five today,
and what's going to happen in Alaska in a couple
of hours. Vladimir Putin has lost in his thuggish war
against Ukraine more than one million Russian lives. The staggering
loss of life for his decision to go into war
(12:28):
and miscalculate and think that the Ukrainians would just roll over.
It can't be overstated enough. Ukraine has lost more than
one hundred thousand lives. So you've got the death toll,
which is incomprehensible, and then separately from that, you have
these long term economic implications. The US has deployed significant
(12:51):
crippling sanctions against Moscow. If you're Vladimir Putin and you
are going to pull a stunt today on US soil
in Alaska. That is, President Trump's finger is on the
economic trigger, so to speak, with even ratcheting that up further.
The Russian economy is horrible right now as a result
(13:11):
of these sanctions, and they have staggering.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Loss of life.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now, when you look at why the US should care
about Ukraine, one you don't want to have a thug
marching through Europe. But secondly, you also look at the
long term rare earth mineral play that the US wants
to have a role in for decades to come into
the future.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
There are some reports that President Trump is willing to
give up some of those rare earth minerals, not only
in Ukraine but in Alaska to Russia to help make
this deal. Have you heard that? Does that make sense
to you and is it a good idea?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Well, well, I would strongly disagree with any concession of
Alaska and whatnot, But I think that Trump has signaled
that he is very much willing to make some type
of a deal as it relates to the longer term.
But from the pre deal I like to call it.
(14:15):
We all remember the disastrous meeting for Zelensky in the
Oval Office and the image that came out of the
Oval Office following the disaster. I mean, remember that the
images they were blown up at each other and whatnot.
But shortly after that, the Ukrainians and the Russian and
the Americans were able to get to some type of
an outline framework deal that would give the US a
(14:37):
longer economic ties in Ukraine for the future. Why should
the average listener care about that, Well, because Ukraine's rare
earth minerals are so incredibly important, not just for machinery
on land, but for satellite production up and outer space
as well. And so for the US to be able
to serve as a backstop economically on the economic warfront,
(14:57):
because we are economic war against Russia. It also is
good for Europe, who would have to look elsewhere if
Russia continues to march through Ukraine and elsewhere into Europe.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But on the Russian side of this, Vladimir Putin can't
go away empty handed because he is already facing some
criticism in his own country, and if he were to
give up too much and go back to Russia, he's finished.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Well. And in addition to that, I totally agree with that.
And in addition to that, for Putin, I think a
Win would be getting the US to signal they would
be willing to loosen some of the economic sanctions, because
it's not just Putin. I mean, he's an authoritarian and
so he's crippled his own economy. He's lost a million lives,
(15:47):
it's horrible. But the oligarchs surrounding him and the wealthy
aristocrats surrounding him, they have a lot of financial exposure
right now as a result of all of the sanctions
that the US deployed and the shifts in the global economy.
A lot of folks are, to your point, talking about
Zolenski's absence, But I want to mention another factor of this,
(16:09):
and that's who also is going to be watching carefully.
But isn't there the Chinese Communist Party Shijingping. I call
them Larry the totalitarian twins Putin and She, And what
they've been doing the last few months is running military
drills off the coast of Alaska. I mean, just think
of how brazen that is for Putin and She to
be conducting military drills off the coast of Alaska. So
(16:31):
if you're Shijingping, you're watching this because any weakening of
the bromance between She and Putin is in the US
interests to weaken that dynamic between those two. But separately
from that, if you're China, or forget China, if you're
an American who has I would assume that none of
your listeners have economic exposure in their portfolios to Russia.
(16:54):
But if they do have any economic risk and exposure
to the Chinese Communist Party companies, the play book that
the US has deployed against Russia with sanctions and whatnot is,
I would argue the same playbook that the US will
deploy should see Zingping, pull a Putin and invade Taiwan.
So I would look at my portfolio.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Wow, Kevin, that was excellent. Would love to talk to
you again after these talks so you can tell us
what happens next. Kevin's a really futurist reporter and founder
of Meet the Future website and as we just found out,
an expert on US Russian relations. Kevin, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Thanks again, Thank you, my friend, Buddy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well, let's go to Joe Neumeyer, journalist and w Albar
movie minted host. He's with us every Friday at this time. Joe,
you made me more than anyone else A fan of
Timothy shallow May when you were raving about a complete
unknown and I went to see it and it's one
of my favorite movies. It's it's my favorite movie over
the last couple of years. And now he's coming out
(17:57):
in a new movie that I know you talked about
or the you've seen the Trailerer fo. I want to
play a little bit and then get your opinions about it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh wow, Hey.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
It's Marty Mauser.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm in the Royal suite.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I saw the lobby yesterday. Okay, well the never talked
to an actual movie star, you know, something of a
performer too, are you?
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Yeah, you don't believe me.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I what you have a daily nil in front of you.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
This is you.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
You had a chosen one.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's a nice picture, right, what's that all about?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Well, I'm glad you Actually you're chewing me up for
next week because we're gonna be talking about fall preview stuff.
But I like to talk about this now because this
trailer just dropped. Actually, I'm glad you mentioned it. So yeah,
So just first off, Chalomea is sort of one of
those actors I think people are sort of you know,
DiCaprio is sort of similar in this way. Back in
the nineties. In the early odds, people kind of wrote
off to Capri because he had an exotic name Leonardo
(18:49):
and was a good looking kid. But he actually have
really great performances and look where he is now. Obviously
he's one of our best actors. Chalamea is the same
way in performance after performance has been interesting and he
should have got the Oscar last year for playing Bob
Dylan in a complete unknown, you know, rather than getting
beaten by Adrian Brody. This movie looks really interesting. So
it's called Marty Supreme and it's set in the nineteen fifties,
(19:10):
and it's about a guy who's a ping pong a
table tennis star who kind of falls under this sway
and kind of pursues a movie star played by Gwyneth Paltrow.
We don't really know much about it, but I like
that it's based on it. It's based on a true story,
but his name has been changed. Based on an actual
guy named Marty Riceman who was a table tennis star
in the in the late fifties from what I understand,
(19:32):
and it sort of takes the facts of his life
and does a lot with that. He's sporting this kind
of weird little mustache Shalla May has, but he's kind of,
you know, he's playing a real guy. And I think
movies like this are always really interesting. I think movies
that take they're basis in fact, but they don't necessarily
like it's not a you know, a biography of somebody
you know, or it's sort of it's kind of a quirky,
(19:53):
interesting story. And I think that Shalom is exactly the
right kind of person to bring this in because young
audience is like him. But I think that older audience
is you know, you know, we'll appreciate the fact that
here's one of sort of this one of today's kind
of more interesting talents playing another interesting role. And I
think that I can't think of another actor who could
have played Dylan like he did last year.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That was I agree with you one thousand percent. He
should have won the Oscar for that. And I will
go see this movie now, which I never would have
seen in the past, simply because he's in it. So
it's not just the young I'm not young by any means. Yeah, right,
but I saw a complete unknown and loved him, and
I know how great he is, so I will see
(20:36):
almost any movie he's in because I think he's that
big of the talent.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Totally agree, And he's one of those actors with and
I actually just watched The Beach again recently, which is
a lesser DiCaprio film. But I said this about DiCaprio
at the time too, which is that he's always good,
even if the movie around him isn't necessarily that good.
He's always good. But I think that's the same thing
with Chala May and then and then just another note
on that notion of movies, A side note on movies
(21:01):
kind of based on real things, you know. It's that's
I always find that's one of the most interesting and
most kind of you know, you know, kind of fruitful
topics in some ways. The other night I was watching,
as I always do if it's on cables, Dog Day
Afternoon was on. I left that on because I always do.
And it's one of the great films, Patinos saying, I
don't know, you know, I'm dying here. It's a it's
(21:21):
a great film based on a true story, obviously in Brooklyn.
Movies like The Terminal, where Tom Hanks is the guy
who's living inside of LaGuardia that was based on a
true story. A great film called It Could Happen to You,
which is a very sweet romance with Nicholas Cage and
Bridger Fonda. Also based on a true story about a
New York cop who split his lottery ticket with a
waitress hit man, just recently came out sort of, So
(21:44):
movies like that always there's there's a it's a really
rich vein to time to tap into. So hopefully Marty
Supreme is gonna be like that. Also, just as a
side note, directed by this guy, Josh Safti and h
and he and his brother Benny. They they're responsible for
some of the really great films last few year. Uncut
Gems is a really terrific film. They've done a lot
of great things on television. They've got another one coming
(22:06):
out called The Smashing Machine this fall as well, with
Dwayne Johnson as an MMA fighter named Mark Carr. So
they've got a really good streak going. So you've got
a good filmmaker there, an interesting topic and one of
our best actors, right and it's coming out Christmas Day,
so great to keep going for the next few months
for they're looking forward to that right.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I want to get to your summer recap in a second,
but I think we would be remiss since you talked
about movies based on true stories and it's a bigger story.
I get that. But Jim Lovell died this week, and
it is one of my favorite movies. Apollo thirteen absolutely
one of my favorites as well. It's and a movie
that should have gotten Best Picture in nineteen ninety five.
(22:45):
That's it's Ron Howard's a fantastic film. One of the
great Tom Hanks performances. Yeah, Jim Lovell, who was the
captain that that Hank's played of the Apollo thirteen. That's
one of my favorite films. And yeah, absolutely always worth
putting on. And you know, over the last few years,
you know, it's one of those things I've always talked
about where you know, you can look at that film
(23:06):
and there's life lessons in everyone. Everyone always remembers Eda Harris.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Saying failure is not an option, right, But there's so
many other moments in that film that are sort of like,
you know, it could be about guys going, you know,
trying to ricoche around the moon to get back to Earth,
but you can apply it to your own life in
so many ways great film.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
My favorite moment in the movie was when and you
remember the actor's name and I'm I'm forgetting it right now,
but you can say who it is once. I tell
you the line when they all are talking about what
a disaster this is going to be and the commander
overhears it, the guy that is in mission control, and
he says, I disagree. I think this is going to
be our finest moment.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, exactly, that's Ed Harris. Yeah, that's Ed Harris who says,
I think who's gonna be our finest moment? Such a
great film it is.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Let's We've talked about this and a lot and I
could talk about it forever, but let's get to your
summer recap.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, you know, it was an interesting summer. I mean,
the box office was up. Know that this the quarter
of the second quarter of twenty twenty five, so people
have been going back to the movies. People went back
for a lot of things I wasn't even crazy about.
But you know, if people want are going to the
movies and having a great time, that's what I want.
So movies like obviously Superman was a huge hit, and
Weapons has proven to be a really big sleeper hit
(24:17):
that I think people weren't anticipating. Mission Impossible, the Final
Reckoning made a lot of money, and those were all
solid movies. Superman I wasn't as crazy about it. I
went back to see the second time. I liked it
a little bit more, but f one I liked. Jurassic
World rebirthed people didn't like. I kind of agree with that,
but it had its moments and the naked gun. Let's
let's give a shout out. Let's pour one out for
(24:38):
the silliness, the return of the of the movie comedy
and almost extinct as the dinosaurs, but they brought it
back and and Liam Neeson proved that tough guys could
be silly too. It's a great It's in some ways
funnier than those Liam, those Leslie Nielsen movies from the eighties.
The TV show was great, but the movies were lacking.
I think the Naked Guns almost better than those lovely

Nielsen film.

It was a great summer for the movie industry. Jess,
real quick, we had a topic on movies you will
always watch if you see them on TV. You've already
mentioned one. What is the top of your list. If
you are flipping through the channels and you see this,
you're gonna watch it.

North By Northwest, Alfred Hitchcock North Northwest is absolute. When
Apollo thirteen is the other one, or Dog Afternoon, those
are great movies I will always put on. But if
Hitchcock's north By Northwest is on, I will always put
it on. Watching Carrie Grant in that great adventure film.
Even Maurice Saint so beautiful, one of my favorite films
of all time and one of my favorite Hitchcock films.
So north By Northwest is absolutely right. I wish I
(25:38):
could crawl inside the world of that film. If I
could live inside of north By Northwest, I'd be very happy.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh that's so fun. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, you're embarrassing
me because mine's embarrassing. It's a roadhouse or did you
watch I'd watch.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
That movie, that's what they call it. Yeah, No, it's
a lot of fun too. Patrick Swayze absolutely.
