Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, New York City. You fine thing. It is
Menty in the morning. I am not Larry Menty. No,
you're not, and you are not in Tehran, so be
thankful for that. As we get into Way, Jimmy Fali
from the Fox News Network sitting in for the Great
Larry MENTI, who is off at the Furry Convention this weekend.
Let's hope he wins top prize. That is, of course
a joke. We're gonna try to keep it light for
the next four hours because the world is on fire.
(00:22):
But it is Friday, so we shall roast some radio
marshmallows along the way. If you are listening, get a
hold of that. iHeart app leave us a talkback. We
want to hear from you during today's show as we
get into Way. Here on seven to ten, WR the
Voice of New York Now. If you're not familiar with me,
right before we get to the Big Three, I am
the newest member of the WOR lineup. My show Fox
(00:44):
Across America airs every weeknight from nine to twelve. We
are heading into our fifth broadcast tonight this evening nine pm.
We have lasted four hole shows, which means a lot
of people lost money in Vegas, including myself. I had
the under two and a half shows. I thought they
would have cut my mike somewhere around Wednesday, but nevertheless,
as a testament to your four day commitment to our relationship,
(01:06):
I will be doing my show from nine to twelve tonight,
entirely local. It will not be national, Natalie. I'll be
opening up the phones here in New York City.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So you're here from six to ten this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I am essentially under house arrest right now. I don't
know how this. If there's some type of child labor law,
I would qualify given my limited intellect. But I will
be live tonight from nine to twelve doing a completely
local show.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I think I'm gonna have to tune in just to
see how you're still going to survive that.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, if you do tune in, you will double my ratings,
So thank you for.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That much for you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, let's get underway on this glorious Friday with the
Big Three. Of course, I alluded to it in the opening,
Israel launching airstracks on Iran's nuclear program overnight, killing top
military officials. We have some sound from net and Yahoo here.
It as BB taken away I.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Was Prime Minister. I've made it clear time it again.
Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilig
to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel
backs those words with action.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So that's NET and Yahoo going full twisted sister and
saying we're not going to take it. I do believe
the President yesterday may have been involved in a headfake
as it pertains to these strikes, because when he spoke
to reporters, President Trump said he was hoping to see
peace in the region, and then, of course the strikes
occurred later that evening. Some people are saying this is
sign of a rift between NET and Yahoo and Trump.
(02:27):
It might just be sign of Trump playing more discipline ball.
I don't have the answer on that. We are, of
course mindful of all the chaos and casualties that could
be ensuing right now, so we want to keep these
people in our thoughts, and we want to move on
to story number two because we will be covering this
in you know, a little more extensively later in the show.
Story number two, though very much feeds off story number one,
(02:48):
because we had our final New York City mayorial debate
last night and things got a little heated, a little
heated between Mom, Donnie and Andrew Cuomo. Now you know, Mom,
Donnie's obviously upset because anytime there's a good day for Israel,
it's a bad day for him. We've kind of figured
out how this works.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
He was also upset because nobody could pronounce his name.
Nobody's not happy about it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, that's why he should be on with me.
As a former New York City cab driver, do you
know how many guys I know name on? I mean,
this is a real story. Do you want to hear
a real story real quick?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I do?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay? As a former New York City cab driver, I
sadly I knew three guys named Osama bin Laden for
real that were in my taxi garage. So in twenty fifteen,
when Obama finally got him, my buddy called me up.
He's like, turn on the tv. They got bin Laden.
I was like, for what speeding? I told them to
slow down. I knew different guys with the different names.
(03:38):
But the point is, when Donnie gets upset, they don't
know how to pronounce his name. It was a very
fiery debate. Let's start here. This is Cuomo and Mam
Donnie going back and forth.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
This is a man who has done nothing, He has
zero accomplishments. Now he thinks he's going to be ready
to be mayor.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, So he started with what he said was a
lack of accomplishments on Mom Donnie's side. To Mondani's credit,
he brought up some of Cuomo's accomplishments, and they weren't
all good.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
I have never had to resign in disgrace. I have
never cut medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions
of dollars from the NTA. I have never hounded the
thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I
have never sued for their gynecological records. And I have
never done those things because I am not you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So we're gonna put him down as a maybe on Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
As part of that was.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
The first time ever somebody said gynecological records in a
mayoral debate without.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
At least a word involved. I mean, what just went
on there? Bit of a food fight. I hope these
two get a You know what's funny when you think
of the Trump campaign, When you think of traditional political campaigns,
guys attack each other a lot on the campaign trail
and then eventually drop out and endorse the other guy.
I don't see the winner of this race getting the
loser's endorsement. That could just be made. But we move
on because there was one more back and forth Tammedy
(04:56):
Hall comment that I got a kick out of to.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Mister Lander and his experience. Remember this was the physcal
watchdog under the Eric Adams administration, which was like the
bookkeeper at Tammany Hall.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh no, you didn't. But what's so funny about that
one is that was the only time anyone mentioned Comptroller
Brad Lander's name the whole night, So he was thrilled.
He didn't care about the attack. It was just an
honor to be mentioned. It's like when weird Al Yankovic
parodied your song back in the day. At least you
knew you had the world's attention. A third story in
the Big Three as we move on, it Appeals Court
(05:28):
blocked a ruling that was ordering Donald Trump to return
control of the National Guard to California. To put that
into plain English, that means the president of the United
States kind of sort of still has control of our military.
But this one's going to go back and forth. And
the truth is, if you've been following the Trump administration
since he got sworn in January, it often feels to
(05:51):
me like the opposition is just trying to run clock
everything Trump does, some local appellate court judge issues and injunction,
then they've got to take that to the Supreme Court
or get some type of stay or pause, and the
next thing you know, he's back in business. It very
much reminds me, as a New Yorker of when the
Giants played the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl and
the Bills had that k gun offense with Jim Kelly
(06:11):
and Thurman Thomas, and the Giants just wanted to keep
them off the field, run as much clock as humanly possible,
and hopefully get to a position where Scott Norwood would
be attempting a game winning field goal with no time
left on the clock, and as you know, it would
miss by quite a great deal, which was a big
deal for me because I grew up in a gambling house,
so a lot of you watched football and cheered for
(06:32):
a win or a loss. I watched football and cheered
for homelessness or non homelessness, depending on who covered the spread.
But those are the big three, and if you have
a take on any of them, get on that. iHeart app.
Leave us a talk back app.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
The other thing I would add as a guy making
his debut on the station this week, it is Friday.
Are you doing all right? You live in America. It's
not a bad place to be is if you have
a take on New York that you can share with me.
The thing you need to know for the amount of
time they are nice enough to keep me around here
at WR is as a former New York City cab driver.
(07:07):
Most of my experience in life is as an affordable therapist.
And what I mean by that is people get into
a taxi they know they're never going to see you again,
so they give you all kinds of porchop recipes, conspiracy theories,
everything they ever wanted to dump on another human being.
And I'm really used to giving pretty decent feedback. But
what's weird about it is nobody ever asked me for
fashion feedback, because if you watch me on TV, I
(07:29):
do dress like a figure skater who let himself go.
And that's probably the biggest challenge to being me right
now is I'm surrounded by a bunch of TV stars
down the block in Fox News, and then I look
like the guy who installed your TV. You looked up
at me, Natalie. I got really concerned. I never know,
I never know with you. Are we still on good terms?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We are.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I just wasn't sure if you were going to fact
check me about my claim that Lowry was at the
Furry Convention, because we can't confirm that that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You might know more than I.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You know these morning people, Well, I will tell you
this when it comes to story number three, the Trump thing.
That's gonna go back and forth, But there's a piece
of sound I wanted to play about it because a
lot of people, you know, are out there. It's Father's
Day weekend if you're out in California. Newsom's pull numbers
are actually going up as this back and forth over
(08:19):
the National Guard ensues. And I have a theory. The
reason Newsom's pull numbers are going up is everybody's saving
money on Father's Day's gifts because they can just loot
the Apple store. You know, time was you had to
spend money, You had to get your dad's shoe size
and go down to Nike but nobody pays retail in
California because you can get it on Riot, and I
think that's what's actually happening. And a little bit later
(08:39):
in the hour, we're gonna play you a clip from
a very prominent actor, a man who was, of course,
the star of my favorite movie of my youth. You
don't know this, tell me, well, my favorite movie of
all time is Midnight Cowboy. And I just might be
dressed like Joe Buck right now. Do I not look
like I'm heading out to turn tricks in Times Square?
After this and the way this opening's going, I might
(09:00):
have to. Let's be honest, but you know what you
look like.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You look like somebody who hasn't slept last night.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, you know you're not in mourning attire. Usually people
come here in hoodies. Yeh yeah, yeah, you look you know,
like you went out somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Well, this is the problem. I always dress loud at
Fox because I'm trying to distract from my glaring lack
of intellect. So I'm grazzled, dazzle, Ryan Stones, whatever you got, Okay,
But the important thing to remember is the show rolls on.
Is We're gonna give you a phenomenal, A phenomenal clip
from one of my favorite actors of all time. Go
to the iHeart app in the meantime, leave us a
(09:35):
talk back and understand that when we come back. A
New Jersey high school was forced to cancel a full
day of classes after an over the top senior prank
went too far. We're reading this headline like the kids
are upset about it. Kids are thrilled. They're like, this
is the best ever. What are we talking about. Plus,
you're gonna get tickets to see James Taylor at eight
(09:56):
twenty five. Don't go anywhere because that's hot stuff. I'd
go see James Taylor.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
In the last time I saw James Taylor was he
was singing a concert on the White House lawn really
after they pass the Inflation Reduction Act, and then they
got up to the microphone and said, congratulations, this is
the biggest climate bill ever. And I was like, wait
a minute. I was promised inflation. I was ripped off.
We're going to break on MENTI in the morning with
Jimmy Fayla. We are back after this. You heard the man,
(10:21):
Jimmy Tayla in for Larry Mente at seven to ten
wo R the voice of New York send us a talkback?
Would you go to the iHeartRadio app and send us
a dang talk back? You won't be the first one.
We got a whole big pile of them, and it
sounds like it's starting to get personal. So I'm going
to jump in and play the first one I saw
because it looks like my name is in the title
of this talkback. Oh boy, buckle up, kids, wish me luck.
(10:44):
Although no matter where this goes, and it could be
a shot at my weight, maybe my wardrobe, something about
me going to National National Community College. It doesn't matter. Okay,
you'll never be as harsh as the voices in my head.
So here we go. Talk back number one.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Hey, Jimmy, look at you work in all house night, day, morning,
four hours here, four hours there, flash back to those
cab driver days. Listen, T shirt size, Let's do double
XL because the odds of the T shirt shrinking before
I do this summer is not happening.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
So, as you know, the talk back of the day, Yes,
get in the morning T shirt.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Which is a hot fashion item very much. I saw
Jaselle bunched and modeling them recently. She was on the
runway because the hottest fall fashion. She looked good, she
looked at peace. You know, it's the menty in the
morning T shirt. Listen. As far as the old hours thing,
these are not all hours. I've mentioned this when Larry
had me on Monday, when I was driving a cab.
It was five am to five pm. And then you
(11:46):
do stand up comedy at night, and you know, go
to the diner and eat something and kind of figure
out where you went wrong in life, and then get
up to drive your cab again. So these are actually
pretty good hours. But that was a phenomenal talk back.
And I am trying to model a work ethic over
here because I do have a sixteen year old son
named Lincoln Phalow who just wrapped up eleventh grade today.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
High school.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's highest level of education in the Phala family. Lincoln,
Lincoln a bit of a pioneer. But I mentioned Lincoln.
I mentioned high school because the story I had promised you,
the story I had teased, Okay, this is me delivering
on my campaign promises. No, I'm a solid politician. That's
why I wouldn't make it in politics. Two reasons I
wouldn't make it in politics is one. I'm, you know,
(12:30):
pretty straightforward. Person two is the background check. But stick
with me. Here we go in New Jersey high school.
It was a New Jersey High School senior prank. It
was at South River High School in New Jersey. This
prank went so awry that they were forced to cancel classes.
In other words, the prank worked exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wasn't that the point? They weren't a day off.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's kind of framed in a way like this is
some type of setback for the kids. But here is
the story. Apparently the kids got into the school and
there were no signs of forced entry, meaning they don't
know if there was someone involved who help them. Maybe
they gained access under some type of false pretense. But
once inside they really actually did some dirt bag stuff.
(13:14):
I'm not proud of this when kids they say around
fifty students unlawfully entered South or of a high school
on the night of June eleven, twenty twenty five. The
prank involved a lot of vandalism, which I don't get behind.
I like a funny prank, you know what I'm saying.
If you can get on the loud speaker, make you
know some type of silly noise or okay, you know,
put on audio from some movie that probably shouldn't be
playing over the loudsp thank you a night a day ago.
(13:36):
You want some jokes, you want some revelry, okay, and
that I would get behind, but we didn't. What's odd
is these pranks have become a bigger deal in the
cell phone age than they were in our age.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well now, because you could see everybody could see what
you did.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, well that's the problem. But that's why I'm surprised.
That's the good and bad. It's like, yeah, we can
chronicle this, but I'm like, yeah, that's not how crime
is supposed to work. You don't want to chronicle this,
you know. But we didn't have seen you prank day
Like when I was in high you know, I went
to graduate a division Avenue High School Eleventown in the nineties.
By the time I was a senior in high school,
I was trying to quit drinking. We were doing like
drudge stop it. We were doing like dry januaries. So
(14:12):
if you're out there at South Forever High School in
New Jersey, get your act together, would you please. I
should not be the voice of reason in the tri State.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Area, and you are right now, I'm so surprised. This
is great.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
All right, but none of these kids, you get.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
In trouble now I give now. Let them be just better.
Job next time. Kids, Try not to wreck the place. No,
because if you start destroying other people's property, they'll send
you to Los Angeles. They'll be like, now you've got
to live under Gavin Newsom. It's a hole to do.
We're bringing in a National Guard. Let's go to Jacqueline
car with the six thirty news, shall we.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Hey, Jimmy.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
President Trump is calling a meeting of the National Security
Council today after Israel's military strike against Iran. Israel launched
what it called a preemptive strike on Iran Thursday, reportedly
against military and nuclear sites. Iran has responded by launching
over one hundred drones at Israel, and Mayor Eric Adams
says the NYPD has now removed more than one hundred
(15:06):
thousand so called ghost vehicles, including cars, mopeds, and ATVs,
from New York City streets since the start of his administration.
Speaker 11 (15:14):
At a news conference with Police Commissioner Jessica Tish, the
mayor said vehicles off the streets is helping to improve
quality of life in the city. Tish says these ghost
vehicles are not harmless.
Speaker 10 (15:25):
They are often untraceable, unlicensed, and unregistered.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Their reckless operation puts pedestrians and another motorists at risks.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
The vehicles seized will not be sold. They are headed
for the crusher to be removed from city streets for good.
Larry kofski wor News.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
All right, Jimmy, Natalie, this is an event you will
not want to miss. According to the New York Posts,
the first ever pigeon impersonation pageant is taking place on
the high Line. The event will last all day this Saturday,
and we'll have events like pin the tail on the Pigeon,
pigeon cornhole, and visitors on how to make the Big
Apple friendly for these birds who've been so condemned. Each
(16:06):
act will have will have multiple contestants, and we'll have
two minutes to coop, squawk and.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Waddle in front of the crowd, something I only wish
I could do.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Several awards will be given out to the contestants, but
only one will be crowned the first ever Top Pigeon
of New York City. The festival centers around dinosaur, that
massive pigeon sculpture that has been guarding the railroad gardens
since the summer.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I love this so much.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
Yeah, you gonna be there?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, I listen. Put me down as a maybe I've
got a TV show to host. There's things going on.
That being said, the fact that they can train a
pigeon to do all this stuff, I can't get a
sixteen year old to drag his laundry down a flight
of stairs.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No, these are people, No, they want people to do this.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh, but there's no pigeons involved.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Now, this is cost you would be hanging around and
hooping on people.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, there's always pigeons around as we know.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh okay, I feel like I was duped. I understood
it was impersonation, but I thought we had some pigeon
cooperation as well.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, no, no, no, that'lieve spectators. You get to go
and be a pigeon.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well, then, yes, here's my theory. Okay, aliens may have
visited Earth. The reason they haven't landed is they've seen
things like this and been like, you know what, No, thanks, They're.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
Not evolved enough yet for us to interact with them.
But I still think it could be an interesting day.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yes, I mean, listen, the one nice thing about legalized
weed is stuff like this is just going to keep
popping up. And I'm not God, I'm kidding there not
to mention.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
If you're in the Birdwatchers Club, you can you know,
check everything off in New York with one pigeon, check done.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Get it all.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Jacqueline, you still got it. Don't let the haters say
it say otherwise.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Jimmy m I think you'd be a good pigeon.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I think I'd make a good drum stick. I got
a little cub on you. Don't you go anywhere. Geordana Miller,
ABC News correspondent. She's gonna join us to talk about Israel.
Israel launching a preemptive strike on Iran, and if you
want to to the conversation, leave us some more talkbox.
Go to the iHeartRadio app seven to ten wor on
the iHeartRadio app, click the microphone and when you're there,
(18:08):
put seven ten WR on your presets so you can
listen to Meni in the Morning every day. Plus you
could win a limited edition Menti in the Morning t shirt,
which will be awarded each day to our favorite talkback
of the morning. So far, the guy who insulted me
kind of and sort of supported me as in the lead.
I like the tough love, and so far the talkbacks
have been a bit of a radio dominatrix. But we
are going to go to break and we're back after this. Jimmy,
(18:33):
there's our guy. It's Meanty in the Morning on seven
ten WR, the Voice of New York. Meanti, of course
not with us, but I am Jimmy Fayla, the newest
member of the seven to ten lineup. You can listen
to me weeknights from nine pm to midnight right here
on the Talk of New York. But joining us now
on the line. Very thankful to have her. She is,
of course, an ABC News correspondent who is over in
(18:54):
Israel here to report on the preemptive strike Israel launched
against Iron last night. Jordana Miller joins us. Hello, Georgiana,
Hi there.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
Well, the Israelis have been talking and threatening for years
really to take action against Iran's nuclear program, and that
finally played out last night just after three am local time.
Sirens actually rang out across the entire country here in Israel.
Not because the Iranians were striking the Israelis, but because
(19:26):
the Defense Department wanted to tell the entire country that
they had launched a preemptive strike on Iran. Those strikes
went on for several hours, five different intense waves of strikes,
hitting all kinds of sites, not just the nuclear sites,
(19:47):
but also ballistic missile launchers, factories, and even storage sites,
as well as what turned out to be a very
effective campaign to assassinate much of Iran's top military leadership.
(20:09):
They took out the equivalent of the head of for example,
Iran's Revolutionary Guard that what would be the head of
the army right. They took out as well as the
Joint Chief Staff that would be the equivalent position on
the Iranian side, as well as the leader of emergency
(20:30):
war planning. And just a few moments ago we found
out that the Israelis also took out the head of
the Israeli the head of the Iranian Air Force. Those
attacks are continuing now, another wave underway in Shiraz and Tabriz,
and the Israelis say that this is they're calling it
(20:51):
a preemptive strike because they say that the Iranians had
actually moved further towards developing a way to deploy Nuku.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You broke on me for a second. There are you there, Jordana.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
We might have just lost her connection.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, that was a tough connection. Since Jordana Miller on
the line, we're going to try to get back to
her in a minute. She is, of course, over in
Israel where all of this is ensuing, and we're just
being pretty mindful of her safety right now as we
attempt to get a report and an update. President Trump
socially about it a short while ago. Let me read
you the Trump Truth social post. I gave Iran a
(21:30):
chance after to make a deal. I told them, in
the strongest of words, to just do it. But no
matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got,
they just couldn't get it done. I told them it
would be much worse than anything they know anticipated or
were told. That the United States makes the best and
most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world by far,
and that Israel has a lot of it, with much
more to come, and they know how to use it.
(21:52):
Certain ironie and hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know
what was about to happen. They are all dead now.
As Jordana was saying before we lost her, Geordia out
of your back, So cam back, can I ask one
quick question? So you talked about Okay, Israel, It was
I guess no secret that they were, you know, considering
a preemptive strike on a round as a deterrent to
(22:13):
them developing and enriching more uranium. But from what I'm reading,
they were still kind of surprised by this, and it
was executed in the type of manner that might have
been similar to what we saw with the pager explosions
in Lebanon. They still managed to effectively get in there
and catch them off guard, did they not?
Speaker 12 (22:31):
They did, and I think you know, they were able.
The Israelis were able to kind of cloud what was
about to happen in the public media in the disputes
between Jerusalem and Washington. That proved to be a great
cover right in the last several days. And not only
(22:54):
did the Americans and others say, we're picking up signals
the Israelis might attack, but we heard President Trump say
not so fast. We're in the middle of negotiations. You know,
you know this might happen, but we want to give
diplomacy a chance, which was seen as a warning to
the Israelis, right, and the Iranians believed the Israelis would
(23:16):
not do it. They wouldn't strike, they wouldn't strike when
they were told na to strike, right, and they wouldn't
strike alone without the help the military help of the
United States. And in the end Israel did both right.
And you know, perhaps we will you know, we're still
learning really the American part in this. But it may
(23:40):
be that President Trump, you know, was playing along and
knew what was coming, right, and this did surprise the Iranians.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, that's what I would say. And the one thing
no one can argue regardless of who knew what or when,
is that it was effective. They got the job done.
We're thankful, you're safe and we will touch from here. Jordana,
best of luck over there, Jordana Miller, You o the best,
Jordanah Millik, ABC News correspondent, She is over in Israel.
And make no mistake about it, they got the job done.
(24:12):
If you have if you have an opinion, go to
the iHeartRadio app. Leave us a talkback. But the rest
of the President Trump tweet read that he was in
fact pushing to make a deal, but it didn't seem
like Iran was interested in doing so. And the one
thing that Trump has been doing as it pertains to Iran,
and this kind of harkens back to Trump won when
(24:34):
they signed the Abraham Accords, is he is trying to
box out the disruptor in the region and he's tried
to bring peace to the Middle East by enticing them
all to engage in commerce that would actually be better
for their countries and maybe stabilize the region by boxing
out Iran, who has traditionally been the biggest state sponsor
of terrorism in the world. So I don't doubt they
(24:56):
pursued every avenue they could in the means of bringing
Ran to the table. But at the end of the day,
if they didn't want to play ball, the last thing
Israel was doing was signing up for another round of
strikes from the Hamasas of the world. So we thank
Herdana Miller, for her reporting. We thank you for your
talkbacks on the ar Heart Radio app as they come
in and we will be back after this. There's our
(25:17):
guy Jimmy Phala in for Larry Mente Mente in the morning.
If you want to send us a talkback, we are
going to get to it because the people are pretty vocal.
The people of New York have spoken, and we're going
to get to them in a second. But first we
do have to remind you that the iHeartRadio Music Festival
is back at is September nineteenth and twentieth. It is
in Las Vegas, Nevada. Two big nights, one big stage,
(25:39):
live performances by Brian Adams, John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar He
can't drive fifty five, by the way, that was his
whole hang up back when I was a cab driver.
I had a similar issue ed Sharon Maroon five and more.
The Capitol One pre Sale means that cardholders have access
to tickets before the general public. That starts at one

big stuff. Go to iHeartRadio dot com slash Capital one
to get your tickets now before they're gone. The general
public ticket sale starts Friday at two pm, so you
got to get moving. That is an exclusive to you
(26:23):
from me, but not really me. I'm just kind of
the proxy. It's like the movie. It's like the movie Ghost.
It's from It's from Larry to you, and I'm the
Whoopi Goldberg. You've got to go through me today to
communicate with Larry. I believe we were talking about talkbacks.
Let's get into this one. I see and I love this.
I see. I just see the word Hannity. I'm going
on tour with Sean Hannity. Let's here goes nothing. I
(26:43):
hope it's not from Sean Hannity. Let's get into this.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
Hey, Jimmy, you're gonna be doing a little soire down
in Florida at Hannity's comedy show. Do tell give us
a little more information?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh there you go? Okay, Well, Punchlines.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
This guy did you have him call in so you
could promote your stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Shout out to my agent. I'm kidding that. Everything you
need to know. It's called Punchlines and Patriots. It is
June twenty eighth and Clearwater, Florida, June twenty ninth in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. If you want tickets to those events,
there's live meet and greet afterwards, it's Foxacross America dot
com and you can come to see why Sean is
the longest running host in cable news and Jimmy's not
(27:26):
allowed to drink in the green room. You got a
good opportunity there for a meet and greet. You spend
some time with me and Hannity. Fabulous talk back, by
the way, because it was marketing based and I liked that.
Do I have time to play one more? I know
I do. Okay, I'm just letting them rip here. Here
we go.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
It's nice having you on this morning, Tommy. Thanks for
keeping it light. Since Democrats won't let us have nice things,
we want to be able to enjoy this beautiful summer weekend,
so thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I am going to pay that woman to record me
messages just because of how pleasant she was, but I
do have to disagree with her. Democrats will have let
you have nice things. They're looting Apple stores right now.
They're looting sushi stores in LA. You're just in the
wrong state, girlfriend. Uh one more and then we move on.
Speaker 13 (28:13):
Good morning, Jimmy. I just want you to know that
I've never heard of you until this week, and I
honestly think you're phenomenal. Oh, I really enjoy your show
going home at night. I am on the road for
maybe about half of your show, But honestly, I think
you're down to hear you tell her like it is,
and I gotta admit I really enjoy your show.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Keep up the good work. I'm trying not to get
emotional here.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
See your relative that doesn't know you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Hey, uncle Vinnie, I'll send you to fifty bucks later, Okay,
pal to me the same as usual. Yeah, I take
no credit for all of the nice things people have
said about me this week as I've joined the WOOR lineup.
I take no credit. Folks. It's the drugs. Okay, if
you see me in regular mode, it's an entire I'm
kidding you right now. I am so thrilled to be
a part of this lineup, and your feedbacks have been phenomenal.
(29:04):
Send us more. It's the iHeartRadio app. Send us a
talkback now. John Voyd, who's the star of my favorite
movie of all time, Midnight Cowboy, left a talkback for
Gavin Newsom, and we're gonna play it for you now. Listen,
avoid I love it.
Speaker 14 (29:19):
You're a fool blaming Trump? What are you doing for
this destruction of these animals destroying Los Angeles? Are you
there talking calmly with them, you fool? They would burn
you down like they're burning the cars in the American
flag with no regard for humanity. This is not about Trump.
(29:43):
This is about protecting the people from these animals and
criminals trying to destroy us and our police force. Are
they supposed to stand there let rocks hit them and
kill them. Who's going to save them?
Speaker 13 (29:56):
You?
Speaker 14 (29:57):
President Trump called in the nation little Guard in the
Marines to help with these destructive barbaric riots. All you
do is cause chaos for the people. You're a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Wow, John Voight, I love John Voyd. I just wish
you wouldn't hold back so much. You know, it's like
express yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Don't don't call back.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I know the cameras aren't on, John, but you can
emote a little bit. You can give us some insights
into how you feel. I love that for two reasons.
There is a very direct and effective Ray Donovan esque
nature of what you just heard out of John Voight,
and it takes me back to a personal experience I
had here at Comic Con I was in Comic Con
(30:38):
doing a package a man on the Street interview for
my TV show Fox News Saturday Night, which airs every
Saturday night at ten pm. I did not know that
John Voight watches my show and knows about my wife
and knows about my kid. So I was walking through
Comic Con followed by a camera crew and someone put
me into a very convincing headlock and started talking to
(30:58):
me about my family. And I was convinced it was
probably a bookie from the Tri State area, because I
don't know what you guys know about your cousin Jimmy
Falo over here. But it's a long season and nobody
goes undefeated, especially when they're betting on the next night
in a night out. But the point is I thought
Voyd was some kind of a bookie, and he told
jim Jimmy was going to break my neck, and then
he turned around and I was like, oh my god,
John Voyd. So a true career highlight to meet John
(31:20):
Voyd over at Comic Con. And Comic Con is coming
back again next year, which means for one whole week,
New York will be known as the city that Never
sleeps with anyone. But I'm excited about it. I'm excited
about the next hour we're about to do. You know
who's coming up. This is a big deal. Do you
want to talk about it? Rob Astarno, Okay, he's got
a show here on War. He's going to talk about
the La riots and he's going to talk about the
(31:41):
judge who blocked Trump's use of the National Guard to
deal with the protesters. That's coming up after the seven
o'clock news. How about it.
Good morning, New York City. You fine thing. It is
Menty in the morning. I am not Larry Menty. No,
you're not, and you are not in Tehran, so be
thankful for that. As we get into Way, Jimmy Fali
from the Fox News Network sitting in for the Great
Larry MENTI, who is off at the Furry Convention this weekend.
Let's hope he wins top prize. That is, of course
a joke. We're gonna try to keep it light for
the next four hours because the world is on fire.
(00:22):
But it is Friday, so we shall roast some radio
marshmallows along the way. If you are listening, get a
hold of that. iHeart app leave us a talkback. We
want to hear from you during today's show as we
get into Way. Here on seven to ten, WR the
Voice of New York Now. If you're not familiar with me,
right before we get to the Big Three, I am
the newest member of the WOR lineup. My show Fox
(00:44):
Across America airs every weeknight from nine to twelve. We
are heading into our fifth broadcast tonight this evening nine pm.
We have lasted four hole shows, which means a lot
of people lost money in Vegas, including myself. I had
the under two and a half shows. I thought they
would have cut my mike somewhere around Wednesday, but nevertheless,
as a testament to your four day commitment to our relationship,
(01:06):
I will be doing my show from nine to twelve tonight,
entirely local. It will not be national, Natalie. I'll be
opening up the phones here in New York City.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So you're here from six to ten this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I am essentially under house arrest right now. I don't
know how this. If there's some type of child labor law,
I would qualify given my limited intellect. But I will
be live tonight from nine to twelve doing a completely
local show.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I think I'm gonna have to tune in just to
see how you're still going to survive that.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, if you do tune in, you will double my ratings,
So thank you for.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That much for you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, let's get underway on this glorious Friday with the
Big Three. Of course, I alluded to it in the opening,
Israel launching airstracks on Iran's nuclear program overnight, killing top
military officials. We have some sound from net and Yahoo here.
It as BB taken away I.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Was Prime Minister. I've made it clear time it again.
Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilig
to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel
backs those words with action.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So that's NET and Yahoo going full twisted sister and
saying we're not going to take it. I do believe
the President yesterday may have been involved in a headfake
as it pertains to these strikes, because when he spoke
to reporters, President Trump said he was hoping to see
peace in the region, and then, of course the strikes
occurred later that evening. Some people are saying this is
sign of a rift between NET and Yahoo and Trump.
(02:27):
It might just be sign of Trump playing more discipline ball.
I don't have the answer on that. We are, of
course mindful of all the chaos and casualties that could
be ensuing right now, so we want to keep these
people in our thoughts, and we want to move on
to story number two because we will be covering this
in you know, a little more extensively later in the show.
Story number two, though very much feeds off story number one,
(02:48):
because we had our final New York City mayorial debate
last night and things got a little heated, a little
heated between Mom, Donnie and Andrew Cuomo. Now you know, Mom,
Donnie's obviously upset because anytime there's a good day for Israel,
it's a bad day for him. We've kind of figured
out how this works.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
He was also upset because nobody could pronounce his name.
Nobody's not happy about it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, that's why he should be on with me.
As a former New York City cab driver, do you
know how many guys I know name on? I mean,
this is a real story. Do you want to hear
a real story real quick?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I do?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay? As a former New York City cab driver, I
sadly I knew three guys named Osama bin Laden for
real that were in my taxi garage. So in twenty fifteen,
when Obama finally got him, my buddy called me up.
He's like, turn on the tv. They got bin Laden.
I was like, for what speeding? I told them to
slow down. I knew different guys with the different names.
(03:38):
But the point is, when Donnie gets upset, they don't
know how to pronounce his name. It was a very
fiery debate. Let's start here. This is Cuomo and Mam
Donnie going back and forth.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
This is a man who has done nothing, He has
zero accomplishments. Now he thinks he's going to be ready
to be mayor.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, So he started with what he said was a
lack of accomplishments on Mom Donnie's side. To Mondani's credit,
he brought up some of Cuomo's accomplishments, and they weren't
all good.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
I have never had to resign in disgrace. I have
never cut medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions
of dollars from the NTA. I have never hounded the
thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I
have never sued for their gynecological records. And I have
never done those things because I am not you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So we're gonna put him down as a maybe on Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
As part of that was.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
The first time ever somebody said gynecological records in a
mayoral debate without.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
At least a word involved. I mean, what just went
on there? Bit of a food fight. I hope these
two get a You know what's funny when you think
of the Trump campaign, When you think of traditional political campaigns,
guys attack each other a lot on the campaign trail
and then eventually drop out and endorse the other guy.
I don't see the winner of this race getting the
loser's endorsement. That could just be made. But we move
on because there was one more back and forth Tammedy
(04:56):
Hall comment that I got a kick out of to.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Mister Lander and his experience. Remember this was the physcal
watchdog under the Eric Adams administration, which was like the
bookkeeper at Tammany Hall.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh no, you didn't. But what's so funny about that
one is that was the only time anyone mentioned Comptroller
Brad Lander's name the whole night, So he was thrilled.
He didn't care about the attack. It was just an
honor to be mentioned. It's like when weird Al Yankovic
parodied your song back in the day. At least you
knew you had the world's attention. A third story in
the Big Three as we move on, it Appeals Court
(05:28):
blocked a ruling that was ordering Donald Trump to return
control of the National Guard to California. To put that
into plain English, that means the president of the United
States kind of sort of still has control of our military.
But this one's going to go back and forth. And
the truth is, if you've been following the Trump administration
since he got sworn in January, it often feels to
(05:51):
me like the opposition is just trying to run clock
everything Trump does, some local appellate court judge issues and injunction,
then they've got to take that to the Supreme Court
or get some type of stay or pause, and the
next thing you know, he's back in business. It very
much reminds me, as a New Yorker of when the
Giants played the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl and
the Bills had that k gun offense with Jim Kelly
(06:11):
and Thurman Thomas, and the Giants just wanted to keep
them off the field, run as much clock as humanly possible,
and hopefully get to a position where Scott Norwood would
be attempting a game winning field goal with no time
left on the clock, and as you know, it would
miss by quite a great deal, which was a big
deal for me because I grew up in a gambling house,
so a lot of you watched football and cheered for
(06:32):
a win or a loss. I watched football and cheered
for homelessness or non homelessness, depending on who covered the spread.
But those are the big three, and if you have
a take on any of them, get on that. iHeart app.
Leave us a talk back app.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
The other thing I would add as a guy making
his debut on the station this week, it is Friday.
Are you doing all right? You live in America. It's
not a bad place to be is if you have
a take on New York that you can share with me.
The thing you need to know for the amount of
time they are nice enough to keep me around here
at WR is as a former New York City cab driver.
(07:07):
Most of my experience in life is as an affordable therapist.
And what I mean by that is people get into
a taxi they know they're never going to see you again,
so they give you all kinds of porchop recipes, conspiracy theories,
everything they ever wanted to dump on another human being.
And I'm really used to giving pretty decent feedback. But
what's weird about it is nobody ever asked me for
fashion feedback, because if you watch me on TV, I
(07:29):
do dress like a figure skater who let himself go.
And that's probably the biggest challenge to being me right
now is I'm surrounded by a bunch of TV stars
down the block in Fox News, and then I look
like the guy who installed your TV. You looked up
at me, Natalie. I got really concerned. I never know,
I never know with you. Are we still on good terms?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We are.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I just wasn't sure if you were going to fact
check me about my claim that Lowry was at the
Furry Convention, because we can't confirm that that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You might know more than I.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You know these morning people, Well, I will tell you
this when it comes to story number three, the Trump thing.
That's gonna go back and forth, But there's a piece
of sound I wanted to play about it because a
lot of people, you know, are out there. It's Father's
Day weekend if you're out in California. Newsom's pull numbers
are actually going up as this back and forth over
(08:19):
the National Guard ensues. And I have a theory. The
reason Newsom's pull numbers are going up is everybody's saving
money on Father's Day's gifts because they can just loot
the Apple store. You know, time was you had to
spend money, You had to get your dad's shoe size
and go down to Nike but nobody pays retail in
California because you can get it on Riot, and I
think that's what's actually happening. And a little bit later
(08:39):
in the hour, we're gonna play you a clip from
a very prominent actor, a man who was, of course,
the star of my favorite movie of my youth. You
don't know this, tell me, well, my favorite movie of
all time is Midnight Cowboy. And I just might be
dressed like Joe Buck right now. Do I not look
like I'm heading out to turn tricks in Times Square?
After this and the way this opening's going, I might
(09:00):
have to. Let's be honest, but you know what you
look like.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You look like somebody who hasn't slept last night.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, you know you're not in mourning attire. Usually people
come here in hoodies. Yeh yeah, yeah, you look you know,
like you went out somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Well, this is the problem. I always dress loud at
Fox because I'm trying to distract from my glaring lack
of intellect. So I'm grazzled, dazzle, Ryan Stones, whatever you got, Okay,
But the important thing to remember is the show rolls on.
Is We're gonna give you a phenomenal, A phenomenal clip
from one of my favorite actors of all time. Go
to the iHeart app in the meantime, leave us a
(09:35):
talk back and understand that when we come back. A
New Jersey high school was forced to cancel a full
day of classes after an over the top senior prank
went too far. We're reading this headline like the kids
are upset about it. Kids are thrilled. They're like, this
is the best ever. What are we talking about. Plus,
you're gonna get tickets to see James Taylor at eight
(09:56):
twenty five. Don't go anywhere because that's hot stuff. I'd
go see James Taylor.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
In the last time I saw James Taylor was he
was singing a concert on the White House lawn really
after they pass the Inflation Reduction Act, and then they
got up to the microphone and said, congratulations, this is
the biggest climate bill ever. And I was like, wait
a minute. I was promised inflation. I was ripped off.
We're going to break on MENTI in the morning with
Jimmy Fayla. We are back after this. You heard the man,
(10:21):
Jimmy Tayla in for Larry Mente at seven to ten
wo R the voice of New York send us a talkback?
Would you go to the iHeartRadio app and send us
a dang talk back? You won't be the first one.
We got a whole big pile of them, and it
sounds like it's starting to get personal. So I'm going
to jump in and play the first one I saw
because it looks like my name is in the title
of this talkback. Oh boy, buckle up, kids, wish me luck.
(10:44):
Although no matter where this goes, and it could be
a shot at my weight, maybe my wardrobe, something about
me going to National National Community College. It doesn't matter. Okay,
you'll never be as harsh as the voices in my head.
So here we go. Talk back number one.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Hey, Jimmy, look at you work in all house night, day, morning,
four hours here, four hours there, flash back to those
cab driver days. Listen, T shirt size, Let's do double
XL because the odds of the T shirt shrinking before
I do this summer is not happening.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
So, as you know, the talk back of the day, Yes,
get in the morning T shirt.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Which is a hot fashion item very much. I saw
Jaselle bunched and modeling them recently. She was on the
runway because the hottest fall fashion. She looked good, she
looked at peace. You know, it's the menty in the
morning T shirt. Listen. As far as the old hours thing,
these are not all hours. I've mentioned this when Larry
had me on Monday, when I was driving a cab.
It was five am to five pm. And then you
(11:46):
do stand up comedy at night, and you know, go
to the diner and eat something and kind of figure
out where you went wrong in life, and then get
up to drive your cab again. So these are actually
pretty good hours. But that was a phenomenal talk back.
And I am trying to model a work ethic over
here because I do have a sixteen year old son
named Lincoln Phalow who just wrapped up eleventh grade today.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
High school.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's highest level of education in the Phala family. Lincoln,
Lincoln a bit of a pioneer. But I mentioned Lincoln.
I mentioned high school because the story I had promised you,
the story I had teased, Okay, this is me delivering
on my campaign promises. No, I'm a solid politician. That's
why I wouldn't make it in politics. Two reasons I
wouldn't make it in politics is one. I'm, you know,
(12:30):
pretty straightforward. Person two is the background check. But stick
with me. Here we go in New Jersey high school.
It was a New Jersey High School senior prank. It
was at South River High School in New Jersey. This
prank went so awry that they were forced to cancel classes.
In other words, the prank worked exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wasn't that the point? They weren't a day off.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's kind of framed in a way like this is
some type of setback for the kids. But here is
the story. Apparently the kids got into the school and
there were no signs of forced entry, meaning they don't
know if there was someone involved who help them. Maybe
they gained access under some type of false pretense. But
once inside they really actually did some dirt bag stuff.
(13:14):
I'm not proud of this when kids they say around
fifty students unlawfully entered South or of a high school
on the night of June eleven, twenty twenty five. The
prank involved a lot of vandalism, which I don't get behind.
I like a funny prank, you know what I'm saying.
If you can get on the loud speaker, make you
know some type of silly noise or okay, you know,
put on audio from some movie that probably shouldn't be
playing over the loudsp thank you a night a day ago.
(13:36):
You want some jokes, you want some revelry, okay, and
that I would get behind, but we didn't. What's odd
is these pranks have become a bigger deal in the
cell phone age than they were in our age.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well now, because you could see everybody could see what
you did.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, well that's the problem. But that's why I'm surprised.
That's the good and bad. It's like, yeah, we can
chronicle this, but I'm like, yeah, that's not how crime
is supposed to work. You don't want to chronicle this,
you know. But we didn't have seen you prank day
Like when I was in high you know, I went
to graduate a division Avenue High School Eleventown in the nineties.
By the time I was a senior in high school,
I was trying to quit drinking. We were doing like
drudge stop it. We were doing like dry januaries. So
(14:12):
if you're out there at South Forever High School in
New Jersey, get your act together, would you please. I
should not be the voice of reason in the tri State.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Area, and you are right now, I'm so surprised. This
is great.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
All right, but none of these kids, you get.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
In trouble now I give now. Let them be just better.
Job next time. Kids, Try not to wreck the place. No,
because if you start destroying other people's property, they'll send
you to Los Angeles. They'll be like, now you've got
to live under Gavin Newsom. It's a hole to do.
We're bringing in a National Guard. Let's go to Jacqueline
car with the six thirty news, shall we.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Hey, Jimmy.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
President Trump is calling a meeting of the National Security
Council today after Israel's military strike against Iran. Israel launched
what it called a preemptive strike on Iran Thursday, reportedly
against military and nuclear sites. Iran has responded by launching
over one hundred drones at Israel, and Mayor Eric Adams
says the NYPD has now removed more than one hundred
(15:06):
thousand so called ghost vehicles, including cars, mopeds, and ATVs,
from New York City streets since the start of his administration.
Speaker 11 (15:14):
At a news conference with Police Commissioner Jessica Tish, the
mayor said vehicles off the streets is helping to improve
quality of life in the city. Tish says these ghost
vehicles are not harmless.
Speaker 10 (15:25):
They are often untraceable, unlicensed, and unregistered.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Their reckless operation puts pedestrians and another motorists at risks.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
The vehicles seized will not be sold. They are headed
for the crusher to be removed from city streets for good.
Larry kofski wor News.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
All right, Jimmy, Natalie, this is an event you will
not want to miss. According to the New York Posts,
the first ever pigeon impersonation pageant is taking place on
the high Line. The event will last all day this Saturday,
and we'll have events like pin the tail on the Pigeon,
pigeon cornhole, and visitors on how to make the Big
Apple friendly for these birds who've been so condemned. Each
(16:06):
act will have will have multiple contestants, and we'll have
two minutes to coop, squawk and.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Waddle in front of the crowd, something I only wish
I could do.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Several awards will be given out to the contestants, but
only one will be crowned the first ever Top Pigeon
of New York City. The festival centers around dinosaur, that
massive pigeon sculpture that has been guarding the railroad gardens
since the summer.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I love this so much.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
Yeah, you gonna be there?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, I listen. Put me down as a maybe I've
got a TV show to host. There's things going on.
That being said, the fact that they can train a
pigeon to do all this stuff, I can't get a
sixteen year old to drag his laundry down a flight
of stairs.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No, these are people, No, they want people to do this.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh, but there's no pigeons involved.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Now, this is cost you would be hanging around and
hooping on people.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, there's always pigeons around as we know.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh okay, I feel like I was duped. I understood
it was impersonation, but I thought we had some pigeon
cooperation as well.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, no, no, no, that'lieve spectators. You get to go
and be a pigeon.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well, then, yes, here's my theory. Okay, aliens may have
visited Earth. The reason they haven't landed is they've seen
things like this and been like, you know what, No, thanks, They're.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
Not evolved enough yet for us to interact with them.
But I still think it could be an interesting day.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yes, I mean, listen, the one nice thing about legalized
weed is stuff like this is just going to keep
popping up. And I'm not God, I'm kidding there not
to mention.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
If you're in the Birdwatchers Club, you can you know,
check everything off in New York with one pigeon, check done.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Get it all.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Jacqueline, you still got it. Don't let the haters say
it say otherwise.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Jimmy m I think you'd be a good pigeon.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I think I'd make a good drum stick. I got
a little cub on you. Don't you go anywhere. Geordana Miller,
ABC News correspondent. She's gonna join us to talk about Israel.
Israel launching a preemptive strike on Iran, and if you
want to to the conversation, leave us some more talkbox.
Go to the iHeartRadio app seven to ten wor on
the iHeartRadio app, click the microphone and when you're there,
(18:08):
put seven ten WR on your presets so you can
listen to Meni in the Morning every day. Plus you
could win a limited edition Menti in the Morning t shirt,
which will be awarded each day to our favorite talkback
of the morning. So far, the guy who insulted me
kind of and sort of supported me as in the lead.
I like the tough love, and so far the talkbacks
have been a bit of a radio dominatrix. But we
are going to go to break and we're back after this. Jimmy,
(18:33):
there's our guy. It's Meanty in the Morning on seven
ten WR, the Voice of New York. Meanti, of course
not with us, but I am Jimmy Fayla, the newest
member of the seven to ten lineup. You can listen
to me weeknights from nine pm to midnight right here
on the Talk of New York. But joining us now
on the line. Very thankful to have her. She is,
of course, an ABC News correspondent who is over in
(18:54):
Israel here to report on the preemptive strike Israel launched
against Iron last night. Jordana Miller joins us. Hello, Georgiana,
Hi there.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
Well, the Israelis have been talking and threatening for years
really to take action against Iran's nuclear program, and that
finally played out last night just after three am local time.
Sirens actually rang out across the entire country here in Israel.
Not because the Iranians were striking the Israelis, but because
(19:26):
the Defense Department wanted to tell the entire country that
they had launched a preemptive strike on Iran. Those strikes
went on for several hours, five different intense waves of strikes,
hitting all kinds of sites, not just the nuclear sites,
(19:47):
but also ballistic missile launchers, factories, and even storage sites,
as well as what turned out to be a very
effective campaign to assassinate much of Iran's top military leadership.
(20:09):
They took out the equivalent of the head of for example,
Iran's Revolutionary Guard that what would be the head of
the army right. They took out as well as the
Joint Chief Staff that would be the equivalent position on
the Iranian side, as well as the leader of emergency
(20:30):
war planning. And just a few moments ago we found
out that the Israelis also took out the head of
the Israeli the head of the Iranian Air Force. Those
attacks are continuing now, another wave underway in Shiraz and Tabriz,
and the Israelis say that this is they're calling it
(20:51):
a preemptive strike because they say that the Iranians had
actually moved further towards developing a way to deploy Nuku.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You broke on me for a second. There are you there, Jordana.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
We might have just lost her connection.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, that was a tough connection. Since Jordana Miller on
the line, we're going to try to get back to
her in a minute. She is, of course, over in
Israel where all of this is ensuing, and we're just
being pretty mindful of her safety right now as we
attempt to get a report and an update. President Trump
socially about it a short while ago. Let me read
you the Trump Truth social post. I gave Iran a
(21:30):
chance after to make a deal. I told them, in
the strongest of words, to just do it. But no
matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got,
they just couldn't get it done. I told them it
would be much worse than anything they know anticipated or
were told. That the United States makes the best and
most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world by far,
and that Israel has a lot of it, with much
more to come, and they know how to use it.
(21:52):
Certain ironie and hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know
what was about to happen. They are all dead now.
As Jordana was saying before we lost her, Geordia out
of your back, So cam back, can I ask one
quick question? So you talked about Okay, Israel, It was
I guess no secret that they were, you know, considering
a preemptive strike on a round as a deterrent to
(22:13):
them developing and enriching more uranium. But from what I'm reading,
they were still kind of surprised by this, and it
was executed in the type of manner that might have
been similar to what we saw with the pager explosions
in Lebanon. They still managed to effectively get in there
and catch them off guard, did they not?
Speaker 12 (22:31):
They did, and I think you know, they were able.
The Israelis were able to kind of cloud what was
about to happen in the public media in the disputes
between Jerusalem and Washington. That proved to be a great
cover right in the last several days. And not only
(22:54):
did the Americans and others say, we're picking up signals
the Israelis might attack, but we heard President Trump say
not so fast. We're in the middle of negotiations. You know,
you know this might happen, but we want to give
diplomacy a chance, which was seen as a warning to
the Israelis, right, and the Iranians believed the Israelis would
(23:16):
not do it. They wouldn't strike, they wouldn't strike when
they were told na to strike, right, and they wouldn't
strike alone without the help the military help of the
United States. And in the end Israel did both right.
And you know, perhaps we will you know, we're still
learning really the American part in this. But it may
(23:40):
be that President Trump, you know, was playing along and
knew what was coming, right, and this did surprise the Iranians.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, that's what I would say. And the one thing
no one can argue regardless of who knew what or when,
is that it was effective. They got the job done.
We're thankful, you're safe and we will touch from here. Jordana,
best of luck over there, Jordana Miller, You o the best,
Jordanah Millik, ABC News correspondent, She is over in Israel.
And make no mistake about it, they got the job done.
(24:12):
If you have if you have an opinion, go to
the iHeartRadio app. Leave us a talkback. But the rest
of the President Trump tweet read that he was in
fact pushing to make a deal, but it didn't seem
like Iran was interested in doing so. And the one
thing that Trump has been doing as it pertains to Iran,
and this kind of harkens back to Trump won when
(24:34):
they signed the Abraham Accords, is he is trying to
box out the disruptor in the region and he's tried
to bring peace to the Middle East by enticing them
all to engage in commerce that would actually be better
for their countries and maybe stabilize the region by boxing
out Iran, who has traditionally been the biggest state sponsor
of terrorism in the world. So I don't doubt they
(24:56):
pursued every avenue they could in the means of bringing
Ran to the table. But at the end of the day,
if they didn't want to play ball, the last thing
Israel was doing was signing up for another round of
strikes from the Hamasas of the world. So we thank
Herdana Miller, for her reporting. We thank you for your
talkbacks on the ar Heart Radio app as they come
in and we will be back after this. There's our
(25:17):
guy Jimmy Phala in for Larry Mente Mente in the morning.
If you want to send us a talkback, we are
going to get to it because the people are pretty vocal.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
It's nice having you on this morning, Tommy. Thanks for
keeping it light. Since Democrats won't let us have nice things,
we want to be able to enjoy this beautiful summer weekend,
so thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I am going to pay that woman to record me
messages just because of how pleasant she was, but I
do have to disagree with her. Democrats will have let
you have nice things. They're looting Apple stores right now.
They're looting sushi stores in LA. You're just in the
wrong state, girlfriend. Uh one more and then we move on.
Speaker 13 (28:13):
Good morning, Jimmy. I just want you to know that
I've never heard of you until this week, and I
honestly think you're phenomenal. Oh, I really enjoy your show
going home at night. I am on the road for
maybe about half of your show, But honestly, I think
you're down to hear you tell her like it is,
and I gotta admit I really enjoy your show.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Keep up the good work. I'm trying not to get
emotional here.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
See your relative that doesn't know you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Hey, uncle Vinnie, I'll send you to fifty bucks later, Okay,
pal to me the same as usual. Yeah, I take
no credit for all of the nice things people have
said about me this week as I've joined the WOOR lineup.
I take no credit. Folks. It's the drugs. Okay, if
you see me in regular mode, it's an entire I'm
kidding you right now. I am so thrilled to be
a part of this lineup, and your feedbacks have been phenomenal.
(29:04):
Send us more. It's the iHeartRadio app. Send us a
talkback now. John Voyd, who's the star of my favorite
movie of all time, Midnight Cowboy, left a talkback for
Gavin Newsom, and we're gonna play it for you now. Listen,
avoid I love it.
Speaker 14 (29:19):
You're a fool blaming Trump? What are you doing for
this destruction of these animals destroying Los Angeles? Are you
there talking calmly with them, you fool? They would burn
you down like they're burning the cars in the American
flag with no regard for humanity. This is not about Trump.
(29:43):
This is about protecting the people from these animals and
criminals trying to destroy us and our police force. Are
they supposed to stand there let rocks hit them and
kill them. Who's going to save them?
Speaker 13 (29:56):
You?
Speaker 14 (29:57):
President Trump called in the nation little Guard in the
Marines to help with these destructive barbaric riots. All you
do is cause chaos for the people. You're a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Wow, John Voight, I love John Voyd. I just wish
you wouldn't hold back so much. You know, it's like
express yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Don't don't call back.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I know the cameras aren't on, John, but you can
emote a little bit. You can give us some insights
into how you feel. I love that for two reasons.
There is a very direct and effective Ray Donovan esque
nature of what you just heard out of John Voight,
and it takes me back to a personal experience I
had here at Comic Con I was in Comic Con
(30:38):
doing a package a man on the Street interview for
my TV show Fox News Saturday Night, which airs every
Saturday night at ten pm. I did not know that
John Voight watches my show and knows about my wife
and knows about my kid. So I was walking through
Comic Con followed by a camera crew and someone put
me into a very convincing headlock and started talking to
(30:58):
me about my family. And I was convinced it was
probably a bookie from the Tri State area, because I
don't know what you guys know about your cousin Jimmy
Falo over here. But it's a long season and nobody
goes undefeated, especially when they're betting on the next night
in a night out. But the point is I thought
Voyd was some kind of a bookie, and he told
jim Jimmy was going to break my neck, and then
he turned around and I was like, oh my god,
John Voyd. So a true career highlight to meet John
(31:20):
Voyd over at Comic Con. And Comic Con is coming
back again next year, which means for one whole week,
New York will be known as the city that Never
sleeps with anyone. But I'm excited about it. I'm excited
about the next hour we're about to do. You know
who's coming up. This is a big deal. Do you
want to talk about it? Rob Astarno, Okay, he's got
a show here on War. He's going to talk about
the La riots and he's going to talk about the
(31:41):
judge who blocked Trump's use of the National Guard to
deal with the protesters. That's coming up after the seven
o'clock news. How about it.
