Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Big Three.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is the last day of this short heat wave,
just three days, but it's been above the temperatures for
a heat wave, so be careful out there.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's going to be really nice. We have race stage.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
You're coming up with an extended forecast a little bit
later in the show. In the Big Three, a vigil
was held in Brian Park for the four victims of
the Park Avenue mess shooting. Police Commissioner Tish memorialized officer.
Police officer did a rule Islam.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
They were taken from our arms in violence. They now
rest in God's arms in peace. May their memories be
a blessing.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
A tsunami hits Hawaii, but luckily it's not as bad
as predicted, and the tsunami warning has now been downgraded
to a tsunami advisory. A tsunami advisory means that the
potential for strong currents or dangerous waves are expected or
occurring for those in or near the water.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
There may be flooding a beach or harbor areas.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
The situation in Gaza continues to get worse. In the
United States is now sending cargo planes packed with food.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
We will not allow.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
We will so we sent sixty million dollars. It's a
lot of money for food, a lot of money that
can take care of people for a long time, and
we want to make sure it's going to be it's
being spent properly.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
That part of the spending is the distribution.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
And while we're on the topic of Gaza, let's bring
in Jeffrey Lichtman, high profile criminal defense attorney, host of
Beyond the Legal Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app.
Jeffrey Israel has been taking a lot of heat for
what's happening in Gaza, and it seems like in the
conversations all around the world they forget to mention Hamas.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, I mean there's a lot even a question on
how absolutely absurd it is that Hamas is skating. They're
not having any responsibility for this. You've got England to
France are prepared to recognize a Palestinian state. Do these
idiots actually consider what is a Palestinian state. It's run
by Hamas. Hamas is in power right now and they

(02:12):
are not dislodged. So the idea that any Western nation
would recognize basically Hamas as the leadership of Gaza and
give them their own state so you're basically rewarding them
for the savagery not only on October seventh, but the
fact that they're still holding hostages today. This is what happens, Larry,
when you make up constant lies all over social media

(02:35):
and you start to convince the world that Israel's in
the wrong. Here, where is the outrage about the fact
that Hamas is still in power? Instead of asking for
Israel to withdraw to end this war, Why doesn't anybody
ever ask for Hamas to simply surrender and give up
their hostages. I mean, it makes no sense. And the
fact is that a lot of these Western countries are

(02:57):
terrified over the immigrants, the Muslim immigrants that are in
their country. They're afraid of the rioting. They're afraid of
the Hamas rallies that we see in New York. And look,
President Trump, who has been a great friend of Israel,
he doesn't help it when he goes along with the
lion says, well, you know, they're starving in Gaza. You
can't fake that. Really. The New York Times was required

(03:20):
to issue a retraction because the face of the starving
Palestinians was a kid that had ended up was actually
sick from all sorts of genetic diseases, and wasn't hungry.
It's just utter bull And I have to tell you
I'm nauseated because this is what the world has become.
Israel's in the wrong here. I have a question latter,
what was the last time you heard about the Ukraine

(03:43):
Russia War? What was the last time you heard about
the slaughtering of innocence in Syria? That was in the
news for about fifteen minutes. But instead we have to
worry about Hamas. And by the way, half of the
Palestinian people today, those poor, sad, hungry Palestinians, there's so
said that they refuse to surrender. They're not quite that

(04:03):
hungry yet that they want to surrender. Half of them
support Hamas's October seventh attack. These people deserve anything. They
deserve the back of my hand. I would starve them
until they release the hostages, until they can show that
they're capable of acting like human beings. They're not innocent.
Were there on October seventh they joined in. They're not

(04:25):
the poor Palestinian people. They are Hamasa's co conspirators.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, also being held captive by Hamas. But the thing
that gets me when you hear all of the world
leaders like the Prime Minister of England talk about this
and leave out Hamas. Their own doctors from the United
Kingdom and from around the world who are trying to
help their report first hand accounts that Hamas is stopping trucks,

(04:52):
that Harmas is taking the food, that Harmas just last
week emptied a truck full of baby formula so that
they could give it to their families rather than go
to the starving I don't understand, and I guess my, my,
I'm blind to this. Sometimes I can't understand the anti

(05:12):
Semitism in that.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
And it has to be it has to be. What
else explains it?

Speaker 5 (05:18):
There's nothing else can explain. It's the one thing that
all the sides of the political spectrum can agree upon.
You've got the far left, You've got some of the
far right. Everybody hates Jews, so they can all get
and tell me some where are the pictures of the
starving adults? How come you see all of these kids
with genetic deformities and somehow and some of them are
from Yemen and some of them from wars from years ago.

(05:39):
Because everything about Palestinian is a lie. Including even their
you know, so called the country that they want to make.
They're all everything is a lie about them. Where are
all the skinny adults? How come it's always these these kids?
Where are the skinny adults? Where is the pile of
dead bodies of people that have starved their journalists there now?
Granted most of the journalists are Hamas. And listen, I

(06:02):
take issue with one thing you said, the facts. They're
being held hostage. If there was an election right now
in Gaza, Hamas would win in the landslide. They're not
being held hostage in other Arab countries. Remember the Arab Spring?
Somehow they all managed to rise up. Why on earth
can't the Palestinians rise up? Well, I'll tell you because
most of them support Hamas. They are Hamas. The idea

(06:24):
that these are in all and it's people. I'm not
saying there aren't some people. There's absolutely some people are
innocent that are being abused. But why should it be
israel responsibility? If Israel stopped the war today Larry Hamas
has said, we're coming back into Israel or massacring you again.
Why doesn't the world, instead of demonizing Israel, why aren't

(06:44):
they there saying listen, we're gonna put together a multi
nation unit and we're gonna go in there and we're
gonna defeat Hamas and get these hostages out of there,
because that's the only way there ever can be peace
between these two countries. In addition, how about Iran Iran
as well ran the Trump who lied and said that
there was real starvation going on in Gaza. Why didn't

(07:04):
he let Israel finish a ranoff if he had That's
the end of all of these proxies.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, I want to move on.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I listen, I could talk more about this, but I
will just end with this point. You never see a
starving Hamas member. As a matter of fact, some of
them seem to be fat and happy. But you do
see pictures of other starving people in Gaza. But let's
move on to this shooting. What are your thoughts? What
are your first thoughts about what happened in the investigation.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
My first thought is, how on earth how far in
New York is gone that mom Donnie could even be
getting any votes, let alone the fact that he's going
to win the election. The guy is holed up in
his armed protected compound in Uganda, A guy who's been
an American citizen for seven years, a guy who's called
for the defunding of police in the past, a guy
that laughs at police being hurt. Because this is what

(07:55):
he is. He is a Hama supporter. And I'm not
just saying this. He is an open Hamas support. And
this guy is in Uganda and a shooting occurs. He's
not even in the city. This is this. What the
shooting tells me is that it underscores the insanity that
Mam Donnie's going to be the next mayor. And let
me tell you, this is no longer about well if
all the other guys drop out and they can defeat

(08:17):
Mam Donnie that we know have a unit a United Front.
Guess what The fact that a guy like this, a
savage like this, and Islamist like this, is even being
discussed as a possible mayoral winner tells me New York
is gone. It's not maybe gone if he wins, it's gone.
By the fact that he's even being discussed. This guy

(08:38):
is he's going to be mayor. He's in Uganda issuing
statement saying that he's that he's he's praying for the families.
Six months ago, this guy was praying for cops to die,
and now all of a sudden, he's he's our mayor
and he's praying for the poor cops.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Did you see did you see something from him saying
he was praying?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Did you?

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Because I thought prayers were with a fan, But it
was like eleven hours later. Larry, the guy doesn't know
what to say because he hates cops, so it's difficult
for him to lie and put the right words together.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Because I saw a post from him, and I looked
at it and thought, he said his thoughts are with
the families, and I thought most people say thoughts and prayers.
Most people say thoughts and prayers. For some reason, he
left out the prayer part.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
No, I agree, praying for another nine to eleven, that's
what he's really praying. He's really praying for another nine eleven.
His ideology, when you praise the US, that's the same
ideology of nine to eleven. This is a guy that
New Yorkers are going to elect, a guy that has
the same ideology as the killers, the terrorists on nine
to eleven. It's disgrace. The city is gone no longer,

(09:42):
saying if we can defeat him, The fact that he's
even in the possibility of being mayor is stomach churning
for anybody who's got any sanity left in New York.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, I have some faith that he's not going to
win because his poll numbers keep dropping. But Jeffrey always
great to talk to you. Jeffrey Electman, high profile criminal
defense attorney. By the way, if you let to what
you just heard, he is also host of Beyond the
Legal Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Thanks again, Jeffrey, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
The bombastic coach and former player Dion Sanders has been
humbled by a close health call. We'll tell you about
a simple thing you can do that Dion says, saved
his life. Coming up next. Plus, we have tickets to
see the Broadway show, the off Broadway show that I loved.

(10:32):
Instead of the whole audience, I got a standing ovation,
rolling thunder. So stay with us, welcome back.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Just to clear up something about my conversation with Jeffrey Lichtman,
he said that he put out something that Zori Mamdani
put out something talking about the shooting in Manhattan and said,
my prayers are with you, and I said, wait a second,
I thought. He said, just thoughts. And the reason that
was important it was because there was a huge uproar

(11:01):
when he first put out a statement saying he only
said his thoughts are with the family, and everybody said, oh,
he didn't say prayers. Everybody else, everyone else talked about it,
said prayers. What's he gonna say? Alla akbar.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's why it was such controversy. But after all the pushback,
he came out the next day with his statement and said,
specifically leaving out the thoughts, that my prayers are with
the family. So Jeffrey Lickman wasn't wrong in saying he
said prayers. But that was one day afterwards. Every time

(11:37):
you send us a talkback, by the way, you were
in the running to win a limited edition MENTI in
the Morning t shirt, So please keep them coming. By
the way, that t shirt's awarded daily to our favorite
message of the day, and don't forget the best talk
back of the week takes home a sea crane radio.
Sea crane radios that work when it matters.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
In light of what happened Monday evening, I plead with
my fellow Democrats, open your eyes, put allegiance aside and
vote with your conscience. We have endured mediocrity for the
past ten to fifteen years.

Speaker 7 (12:11):
We cannot continue like this. The Democratic Party of the
past is no more, no more the party of the people.
We must have law and order leader. New York City
needs Kurtis Sliwa right now.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Wow, that sounded like he's running for office. I want
him supporting me. That was really good. Thank you so much. Hey, listen,
while we've been on the air, Corey Booker has been
going crazy. And Corey Booker he wants to be president
so much, just so much. He's been on all of

(12:47):
the cable stations because he went on a big rant
on the Senate floor yesterday.

Speaker 9 (12:51):
The Democratic Party needs a wake up call. I see
law firms bending anee to this president, not caring about
the larger inciples that does free speech rights that you
could take on any client. Why are you bending the knee.
I see universities there should be bastions of free speech
bending at the knee to this president. I see businesses

(13:15):
taking late night talk show hosts off the air because
they dare to insult a president. I see people who
want mergers suddenly think that they have to pay tribute
to this president.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
He wants to be president so much, Corey. Listen and
I met. He's such a nice guy, but he's so
warped in his politics. Corey, you're never going to be president.
You tried before, you got zero percent. People just don't
like the act.

Speaker 10 (13:45):
I just saw a little bit of Corey Booker's ram
a disgusting display on the news. What the hatred in
his face? The words you used, this body language and
I know body language. This guy, there's nuts. It's just
I think it's mandatory. Now they need mandatory drunk testing

(14:06):
and alcohol testing for senators and congressman.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, that's not what people want. You're exactly right. That
was all in act. By the way that mad face
he had on, that was acting. He got up there
because he wants to be noticed. He wants all the
attention on him. That's why you got up and spoke
for over a day.

Speaker 11 (14:28):
Man.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
The guy is so desperate to be noticed.

Speaker 12 (14:32):
So we know nothing about the kid in Butler's Pennsylvania.
But we can figure out everything about the murderer who
killed those three people in Manhattan yesterday. The zero about
Butler Pennsylvania. He's an enigma.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
We don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
That is a great point.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
And the thing that is stuck in my crawl about
the investigation is that the medical examiner from Pennsylvania was
waiting for the Feds to get done with the body
of the assassin. They were waiting and they were told no, no,
we just got to wrap up some things. We'll give
it to you, and then they cremated the body. I

(15:11):
believe there should be an investigation into that, because that's
an aberration.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
If you are.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Trying to tell me they weren't hiding anything that tells
me otherwise. Always love your talkbacks, Please keep them coming now.
Jacquelyncaro with the seven thirty.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
News Good Morning.

Speaker 13 (15:30):
Investigators are looking into a second note written by the
gunman who killed four people and then himself inside of
Midtown Manhattan building on Monday.

Speaker 14 (15:38):
There are reports the second note, located at Sane Tomorrow's
Las Vegas home, was an apology to his parents, and
he indicated he felt like a disappointment to them. Investigators
believe Tomorrow's first note indicated he was targeting the NFL,
but Mayor Eric Adams says he took the wrong set
of elevators and ended up on a different floor than
NFL headquarters tomorrow. A youth football player claim in that

(16:00):
note he suffered from a brain disease CTE and blame
the NFL. I'm staff Pringle wr News.

Speaker 13 (16:06):
Federal Reserve announces later today whether it will cut interest rates.
President Trump has been putting pressure on FED chair Drome
Powell to cut rates, but most investors are expecting the
Central Bank will hold them steady and wait until you
hear about the new mom's side hustle. According to lad Bible,
new mothers in America have found a way to earn

(16:27):
extra diaper cash by selling their breast milk to bodybuilders.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (16:32):
Kira Williams is one such mom. She claims she's able
to charge fifty cents per ounce for her own personal
pre mixed protein shake to new moms, but guess what,
she hikes it way up for the bodybuilders two dollars
per ounds. William says she's made as much as eight
hundred dollars in a single day selling her breast milk,
and she sold more than seven thousand ounces over the

(16:55):
past eight months. I'm just guessing juniors getting cow milk,
but he'll be able to go to college, but no
women could keep this going for years, as long as
you keep pumping or breastfeeding going. I mean, this is
like but I just I can't see drinking another person's
bodily fluids because you don't know what's going on with them.
But it's happening.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Listen, God bless them.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I cringe. You saw me cringe when you were telling this,
telling the story. But look, God bless them. Whatever, nobody
gets harmed in this. Everybody is happy, and so God
bless you. Do what you want, both the moms and
the uh what is the weightlifters?

Speaker 13 (17:32):
Yeah, bodybuilders, other moms.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, yeah, God bless them. Let them do what they want.

Speaker 7 (17:36):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (17:36):
Absolutely, But I mean I think it's amazing that she's
breaking in so much cash on it.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, Kira, people that heard that story, I'm sure are
going to try the same thing if and when they
get pregnant. Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl. Congratulations to Dwight

of people.

Speaker 1 (18:41):

(19:27):
world leaders seem to be putting the blame for what
is happening in Gaza, the humanitarian crisis there squarely on Israel,
and it seemed to come with a threat from the
British Prime Minister Starmer.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
The UK will recognize the state of Palestine by the
United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government
takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza,
agree to a cease fire and commit to a long
term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two state solution.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
So what is the reaction in Israel to that?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Let's get right to Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent in Jerusalem.
I'm sure that did not go over well among the
people around Benjamin net Yahoo and the Prime Minister himself.

Speaker 11 (20:21):
It did not go over well, that's for sure. The
Israeli Prime Minister posting on his ex or Twitter site
that you know this is a gift to terrorists and
that you know, the free world should be standing behind
Israel and that jihadis, you know that are a problem

(20:44):
for Israel today, will be a problem for Britain tomorrow.
It's clear that the Israeli leadership you know, is across
the board condemning this, and by the way, even one
of Natanie's harshist critics, Yet you're Lapide, who heads up
the opposition, he wrote what I think is probably the

(21:07):
most sensible argument against both France and now the UK's
threats to recognize a Palestinian state, and that is that
this is something that has to be negotiated between the
parties to nilatterly declare it, or when you get down

(21:27):
to it, can France or Britain talk about what the
borders are, where the capital will be, what kind of
government will be in power, what kind of army if any,
or police force?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Right?

Speaker 11 (21:40):
I mean to just declare a state like this certainly
is a symbolic show of support for the Palestinians, but
does it really get the parties closer to an agreed
upon solution that will keep Palestinians and Israeli safe. And
by the way, you're Lapite said, would this new Palestinian

(22:03):
state be able to protect itself against a takeover by
Hamas or other you know jihadi groups, Islamith groups, right,
which exist today in the West Bank. Right, So you know,
I don't think again that this decision by France and
now the threats from the UK. I don't think this

(22:25):
brings us any closer to a ceasfire deal. In fact,
it works against this ceasfire deal. If I were Hamas Larry,
and I'm sure you, if you were Hamas right, you
would think great, I'm not going to do anything. I'm
not going to cut any deal with Israel until after September.
Then i have two major European countries recognizing a Palestinian

(22:47):
state and maybe others, and that's a win. And I'm
just going to hold out right. So I'm not sure
this was a well timed decision by the year Opeans,
even though I know it has good intentions, I just
don't think it's an effective way to, you know, either

(23:07):
get a Palestinian state nor help you know, wrap up
this war.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, that's a wonderful point. It is absolutely counterproductive. On
the other side of the Atlantic, you have President Trump
who's now saying he's sending sixty million dollars of food
and he got some pushback from people saying, well, how's
that going to be distributed? How can we trust the Israelis?
And he said absolutely We're going to let the Israelis
handle this. They know how to do it. That was

(23:35):
a show of support for Netanya, who and the Israelis
in this much different than what's happening.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
In Europe.

Speaker 11 (23:43):
Absolutely, I mean president first of all, he gave sixty
million dollars to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the you know
American Israeli system that's been up and running for about
two months. That system has been plagued with isolence. You know,
I think now the numbers almost to about one thousand

(24:06):
Palestinians have been killed on their journeys to these distribution sites.
They're not up to scale. There's only about four of
them operating, though the plan was to have up to twelve.
That hasn't happened, and that system is wholly inadequate right
to deal with and feed the people of Gaza. So

(24:29):
you know, the President is supporting that system. It still
needs to scale up. And at the same time, we're
seeing more trucks come in, you know, with the UN
the Egyptians, the Jordanians. Over land. Over the last three
days now we've seen an average of about two hundred
trucks a day, which is double what we saw in

(24:50):
the previous weeks, but it's still larry. It has to
get up to somewhere around four hundred. If you know,
Israel and the West hopes to avert a major wave
of deaths from hunger and starvation. I don't want to
use the word famine. I know it has all kinds

(25:11):
of there's technical definitions, but we don't need you know,
this isn't an issue of semantics. We can see that
the people of Gaza are having a tremendously difficult time
finding food. And it's not just people ordinary people. It's
people in privileged positions that should have access to food

(25:32):
or should have an easier time. Right, the physicians, the teachers, right,
the health workers. These are people in Gaza who would
you would think would have a better they're in a
better position to access food, and even they are having
major problems finding food and potable water. So, you know,

(25:55):
God willing the changes that the Israeli Prime Minister has
made in the last few days, they will remain in
place for some weeks and they will be uh, you know,
we're all hoping they're going to be enough. But the
situation there hit a major, major tipping point, and Nataniell
is not the only one to blame. He's certainly made
critical errors. Hamas is also to blame for the hunger problem.

(26:19):
There's gangs, there's looting. Hamas is siphoning food, it's selling
it to merchants at a you know, at triple and
quadruple the price, and those people are turning around and
selling it at a very high price to ordinary gosins
and most of them can't afford it. And that that
also contributes to the hunger crisis. And the UN also

(26:42):
has problems with manpower and logistics. You know, so we
can't just blame Israel for this, but it is, you know,
it is a major We're at a major juncture here
and this has to be This hunger crisis has to
be alleviated. Even if Israel hopes to meet any of

(27:03):
its war aims, this has to come first.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Jor Dana Miller, ABC News correspondent in Jerusalem. Thanks so
much for that insights, especially the one that this what
they're doing in Europe actually helped hurts the prospects of peace.
Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent in Jerusalem. Artificial intelligence is
fast becoming a required subject in college wo R National

(27:27):
correspondent Rury O'Neil is covering the story.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
We're going to talk with him next.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
It's going to be another hot one out there today,
so just stay inside if you can. If you're working outside,
just make sure you drink lots of water.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
In the Big Three.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
A vigil was held in Brian Park for the four
victims of the Park Avenue mass shooting. Police Commissioner Tish
memorialized police officer did Rule Islam.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
They were taken from our arms in violence. They now
rest in God's arms in peace. May their memories be
a blessing.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
And now let's get quickly to Rory O'Neil, who is.
But I will admit to you, Rory, that I am
behind in learning about artificial intelligence.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
My kids.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I have both millennial kids and I have gen Z kids,
and they're constantly trying to well they did. I was
going to say, they're constantly trying to teach me. They're
constantly trying to shame me into the way I use.
I use AI because you know, I'll do searches with it.
But the keep saying, Dad, it can do so much more.

(28:35):
Right now, it's being taught in schools.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Well it is, and look, half of college students today,
half in this new poll say that they learning how
to use AI might be the most.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Important thing they learn in college.

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Sixty two percent said responsibly using AI will be part
of their future career. So even the students, I should
say in high school as well as in college, but
this polit's college. But even the students today realize that,
you know, this is more than just avoiding the assignment
of reading war and Peace and essentially getting this decade
version of Cliff's notes. This is actually going to be

(29:13):
a tool that everyone will have available to them moving forward.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I am so happy about this story because I have
kids in college, kids in high school, and the academics
have been fighting against AI all along. Can't use AI.
If you use AI, you're going to fail this course.
Now you see they're slowly accepting it, understanding it's omnipresident.
They can't hold it back. So I think this shows

(29:41):
that this is this big step forward.

Speaker 8 (29:44):
Yeah, a lot of these institutions, again, it even goes
down to the high school level, they're putting in some
AI policy beyond don't use it right, Only about a
third of the schools say don't use AI at all,
and it's going to vary. Some professors will be more
strict about it in other ways, but others are trying
to incorporate it. And when you ask students, hey, what
do you use AI for? Have said it helps them

(30:05):
to brainstorm new ideas. About forty percent said it's for
spelling and grammar. And I thought one interesting was twenty
nine percent said they use AI to ask questions that
they're too embarrassed to ask in class.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's fascinating.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
My son was in a class where apparently everybody turned
in a paper and it looked very similar every single paper,
and the professor said, Okay, what site are you using?
What AI site? And nobody would say, and he goes,
I'm not going to punish anybody. I really am not
going to punish anybody. I just want to know so
we can figure out how to deal with this. And

(30:43):
then somebody raised their hand and admitted, and then everybody
else was saying, yeah, that's the site. That's the site.
That's the site. And he said, understand what can happen now?
It takes away the originality, it takes away the thought process.
I don't care if you use it, but use it
as a reference only. That seemed to be a big

(31:03):
step forward, not only for the people in that class,
but for education. I think that's I think that's pretty
well said and smart.

Speaker 8 (31:12):
Yeah, and some of the students say they actually turn
to AI because they didn't understand it in class and
they want more clarification, and because AI is great at
summarizing stuff, right, so they can you put it in
two paragraphs so I can better understand the concept here
that the teacher was trying to explain. And a lot
of them use it also to create study guides, so
if there's a test on Warren Peace tomorrow, they can

(31:32):
you know, hopefully they read it, but then they'll create
test questions for people to get ready for the test. Rory.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I love this story because I was really afraid that
the academics were going to keep holding back and actually
lecturing the kids not to use this stuff. But there
has to be assimilation. So I love that this is
happening and to step forward. There's going to be I
would imagine already there's going to be college classes on AI.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
Right, and look, these are the that are going to
be using it. Look when they're in the office and
these twenty two year olds old fogies like us will
be asking them how to use it right, so you
know they're almost going to be the ambassadors for this
technology as it matures.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Thank you so much, Rory O'Neil, National Correspondent. He'll be
back tomorrow morning at this very same time. Thanks so much, Rory.

Speaker 11 (32:21):
Thank Larry.

Speaker 13 (32:21):
And you know we have Greg g and Grande, our
career revice expert, coming up today at nine thirty five.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
He's going to tell us how to use AI at work.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh that you know what. I'm actually going to listen
to him today.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Zorin Mam.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Donnie is returning to the city after partying at his
family's several million dollar compound on Lake Victoria in Uganda.
And this guy wants to help the working class. We'll
ask New York City Councilwoman Vicki Palladino about that after
the eight o'clock News
