Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, Happy Friday, gonna be a beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And let's get to the Big three and the mayor's race.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Mayor Adams, a former cop, gets endorsements from most of
the law enforcement unions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Don't tell me about law enforcement over time.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Tell me about how we brought down crime in the city.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That's what our members and that's how you talk to
police unions talk about overtime. And the latest polling, Adams
comes in fourth behind Mom, Donnie Cuomo, and Sliwa, who
are locked in a statistical three way tie. Republican candidate
for mayor, Curtis Sliwa is very much in this race.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
So one thing everybody knows, you can't buy, rent, lease,
or own Curtis sleiewa the billionaires on all.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Three of these candidates.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
You know who owns me The spirit of my mother
and father, the blue collar working class. That's who I
dedicate this city to when I become mayor.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Coming up in a now, Curtis Lee will we'll be
here live in Washington. Donald Trump has been diagnosed with
a condition that affects his veins and cardiovascular system.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
This diagnosis is a progressive one, meaning that there's no
curative treatment or intervention sort certainly can lead to persistent swelling,
which can lead to persistent pain and difficulty with mobility
at the age of seventy nine can be difficult at
the age of seventy nine, while also being the president
can be a tremendous amount of work.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Right, This is a very common ailment apparently, and doctor
Yan katz Nelson from the USA Vein Clinics, he's going
to be here at nine to twenty to explain what
the president has and how it can be treated. In
East Rockaway in Nasa County, over one thousand gallons of
oil leaks into the Mill River.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
So it's everywhere on the boats of jet skis like
now we're going to be responsible clean and it's like
who's going to clean it?
Speaker 7 (01:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
There's a big cleanup effort going on there right now,
and some of it is individual. There's a lot of
people out there trying to clean off birds and wildlife
that love the river. It's cooling oil that's leaked and
it's for three days it leaked. It's not hazardous, but
it still, as I said, affects wildlife and it prevents
people from swimming. Psee andng is on the job right now.
(02:16):
They're responsible for the spill and the cleanup. The Senate
votes to cut the funding for NPR Radio because you know,
they're a lot more political than they are public radio.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
It's about the nine billion dollars that we're going to save.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Or ninety billion dollars in the tenure window, and where
I come from, that's still a lot of money. And
the best story of the day, the best news of
the day. Another broadcast that is going away for being
far too political, the Late Show with the Trump hating
Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 9 (02:52):
It's not just the end of our show, but it's
the end of the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 10 (02:56):
I'm not being replaced.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
This is all just going away.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, in ten months, it's all going away. The Late
Show is going away. The thing that the gift that
David Letterman gave us is going away because Stephen Colbert
ruined it. Now, let's talk to Rick Klein, ABC News
Washington Bureau chief. We haven't talked to you in a
couple of weeks. Rick, Are we on vacation or you
(03:22):
just don't like us?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
No, just been off for a little bit, you know,
going on another slow Washington summer.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know what it's like, yeah, how can you say
where you went?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
How was it go?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Down in Colonial Beach, Virginia? Nice little town a couple
hours out of DC. Very quiet, very very serene, and
very not Washington. You know, it's not far away.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's wonderful. You sound like you came back all invitegrated
and vintegrated. Man, that's a weird You put vinegar in
something invigorated. Uh so, apparently I need a vacation. Hey,
let's talk about this Epstein mess. I don't even know
where to start. So why didn't you go through it
for us? Because it is fascinating to me how this
(04:10):
sprang up in Maga, of all places, from all people.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Well, look, this has been going on for years, you know.
Jeffrey Epstein. The federal investigation and then his suicide happened
at twenty nineteen during the first Trump administration, and the
conspiracy theory started just about from the start, and they
gained steam frankly after Trump left office because there were
still a lot of questions and whispers about this massive
(04:36):
investigation and what else Jeffrey Epstein, who else he was
involved in? We know he had been associated with lots
of prominent New Yorkers and lots of prominent politicians, including
Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, but it was really the
Trump base that whipped up a fervor to suggest that
there was a massive pedophile ring and a cover up
around this, and the calls for releasing of the documents
(04:57):
came from people like Dan Vongino and Cash Bttel and
Donald Trump Junior and Jadie Vance. And then Trump becomes president,
they review the documents. Pam Bondi says, this is all
going to be out there. She has a big event
at one point saying here's Phase one really much hyped,
and then she comes out quietly after the July fourth
weekend says nothing to see here and there's not going
to be anything else coming out. And Trump has asked
(05:18):
his base to follow that and to take that as
the final answer, and they quite frankly have not. In
the last two weeks have been consumed by questions that
Magabase mostly is raising about why there might be kind
of a you know, could there be a cover up?
Why isn't this information coming out as long and promise?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It is so hypocritical the way that the Democrats jumped
on this too, because they didn't care about it at
all when Biden was in office, and they weren't complaining
until MAGA complained. And now they're jumping on it. They
won hearings, they're making a big deal about it. I'm
not sure this is going away anytime soon. I don't
know if you saw it Rick on CNN, Harry Enton,
(05:56):
who does a great job with the polls, they had
asked and I guess it was another poster that asked,
what is the biggest issue in the country right now?
And they talked of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds one
person said the Epstein files. One respondent, not one percentage,
just one person. It shows you the power. I think
(06:18):
it's a it's a substory to this, but an important one.
It shows you the power of social media.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
That's a great point, and I think it's a power
that it's been powered by a MAGA based on social media. Look,
if this was just Democrats jumping up and down, this
would not be a story anymore because they're not in power.
There's nothing they could do about it. This would have
been gone two weeks ago. But it's not. You see
the very influential people in the Trump movement. Former National
(06:47):
Security advisor Michael Flynn with an impassioned plea on this.
We saw Joe Rogan go up on this. I mean,
these are big, big names with huge followings that think
there's something up here. And yes, Democrats have seized the
political advantag it's here. But but this is this, If
this continues, it's going to be because of Donald Trump's
own base, and he's doing what he can to quiet Overnight,
he says he's asking his Attorney general to uh to
(07:11):
uh to to to ask for Grand Jewelry records to
be to be taken down. But the bottom line is
that that's not something that he is the full power
to do. And uh and unlesser, until there's a full accounting,
we're just not gonna I don't think we're going to
see a base that's defaciated.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
No, there's so many reasons this story is fascinating, But
you're right, this is the issue that MAGA turns on
him on. You know, of all the things that could
possibly be, this is the one. This is the hill
they want to die on. It's it's fascinating to me.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
There's a whole lot of other things going on, but
I want to I want to focus on new York
because it's become a national story. Donald Trump's talked about it.
It's on the national news a lot. The fact that
we have an avowed socialist running for mayor, and not
only running, but doing extremely well. He paid a visit
to Washington, and I know that the far left of
(08:04):
the party just fawned over him. What do you make
of Zorin Mamdani, Well.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
He's doing it he can to try to build bridges
to the Democratic Party base. He is the Democratic nominee.
Whether Democrats in New York or Washington like it or not,
he is the nominee. But he isn't guaranteed to win.
As you know, We've got the incumbent mayor who's running
as an independent, Andrew Plomo now saying to run as
an independent. We have Curtis Lee were running. You know,
there's a lot of permutations on this, and under normal
(08:30):
circumstances in twenty twenty five New York, you'd think the
Democrat wins it's going to be a landslide. But I
think there's a lot of different cross currents and a
lot of it has to do with who Mamdanni is
and what he has said and what he's believed and
what the Democratic base is believing these days. The fact
that he could win a primary at all, despite the
lack of experience, despite the statements on Israel. It is
a major moment. I think is the highest profile race
(08:51):
of the in the country this year, and I think
it's going to continue to draw a lot of scrutiny.
And I don't know that Mamdani's going to be able
to just be embraced by national Democrats, including New Yorkers,
people like Hakim Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer who been hesitant.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Right, and Kathy Hochel.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I will tell you this, it's really fascinating because I'll
give him credit for this. Him tapping into the issue
of affordability was huge and everybody is using that term now.
He's teaching the Democratic Party not to be socialists, but
what to run on.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yeah, I think there's a lot of Democrats that would
like to be able to capture that magic and say,
look that let's make this about affordability about the cost
of living, because I mean, you see that in a
lot of the national messaging, even with the Epstein story,
but the percolating you see a lot of Democrats the
like Let's talk about medicaid, Let's talk about inflation, Let's
talk about food prices, Let's talk about the impact of tariffs.
They know that that is, those are the kind of
(09:45):
issues that really draw voters out. They certainly did in
New York. But I don't think, you know, you can
just ignore the other parts of what mom Donni has
said and done as part of his rise to prominence.
And that's what's going to get scrutiny now in this
long run up to November.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hey, real quick, Rick, what do you have coming up
this week? On this week?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah, we're six months exactly into Trump two point zero.
Martha Radinson's on the road talking to people impacted by this,
including some farm workers, and talk immigration official in southern
California is talking to the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass,
another kind of embattled mayor these days, in a tough spot,
you know, taking a little bit of a temperature check
and of course more Epstein fall out if we see
(10:23):
anything in the next forty eight hours at a grandeuriy.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Estimony and af Hey, BC News Washington Bureau chief Rick
kleinb Thanks Rick, Have you you all right? Have you
ever run out of gas? If not, you may not
know what to do. We'll fill you in next plus
tickets to see the Who at a local venue of
your choice. Stay with us, Max, always appreciate them.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You will be.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
In the running, not only for the Mente in the
morning t shirt. And we've had a couple of people
call in and beg for them and it really don't beg.
Just you know, give us a great talk back and
we will get it to you.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Larry, when you get Curtis on, you gotta tell Curtis listen, man. Look,
he's great for the safety of the city, no doubt
about it. But I think that's more of a concern
for older people. He needs to reach out to younger voters.
He needs to bring some people on that can reach
out to younger voters. We could do this, Curtis, come on, baby,
(11:20):
let's do this.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
Oh this sounds like Curtis.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, he actually does.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Maybe it was maybe it was Curtis giving himself advice.
We should play that for Curtis. Also, when he comes on.
Speaker 12 (11:33):
Hip Hip, hooray about Stephen Colbert. I mean, the guy
is a blowhard and Jimmy Kimmel, I don't know what
to say about him. But just go check out his
Instagram or threads page at what they did over the weekend.
He's got his kids out holding anti Trump signs on
(11:53):
the side of the road. He's a real hero and genius.
So anyways, love the show.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, he embraces his anti Trump is there's no question.
I mean, he lives it and you and then it
spills over onto the show. We'll see if he's the
next one to go, because it's this isn't going well
for people that are anti Trump, with all the networks
who were afraid about lawsuits.
Speaker 13 (12:18):
That's what Kennedy's trying to do. The restrictions here don't exist.
They're non existent. That's why they put crap in our sodas.
And you can get Fanta over there with real fruit juice.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That was for you.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That was fascinating what you said that the Fanta in
this country is much different than it is in Europe,
and it's much better over there and more natural.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
If you like that kind of thing. But I thought
it was amazing.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, well, I mean I'm going by you. Yeah, and
you said it, well, everybody that drank it loved.
Speaker 14 (12:51):
It, everybody.
Speaker 15 (12:52):
Tully, I had to buy a case of it. I
had to find an importer of Fonta soda.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's incredible. What the it is good though, Yeah, it's
incredible what they do in this country and what they
allow us to eat.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
The Late Night Show went woke and now they went broke.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Company after company learns the hard way. You're absolutely correct.
So let's talk about running out of gas, Jacqueline. Have
you ever run out of gas?
Speaker 10 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Never, never, Natalie, have you ever run out of guess?
Speaker 10 (13:22):
No crash?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Have you ever run a guess?
Speaker 10 (13:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, he says every morning between six and ten, But
in his car?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, no, he never has. All Right, let's move on, Lary.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
Have you ever run out of gas?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
A couple of times?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
A couple of times?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, Well a couple of days ago, I ran out
of gas, dude, A couple of days ago, yeah, I did.
I have the new car, and I'm not used to
it yet when it runs out of gas, actually I
knew I was low. Actually, when it's on E that
means you should get some.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's worse than that.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I actually have no excuse because not only does it
pop up with a big you are low on gas
thing you across the head.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, it starts my seat starts shaking.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, and not only do I have that, it actually
tells me how many miles I have left. Oh boy,
so it tells you. You know, you have two miles left,
You have your miles.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Left you You don't believe it. No, I don't believe
that thing.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I didn't notice it.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Oh all right, I was.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You know, when I leave here, I have a long drive,
and so when I leave here, I just start either
making phone calls or listening to a book or doing
many other things and not paying attention. I have absolutely
no excuse because I knew I was low coming in,
and I thought to myself, let me say I got.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I got twenty seven miles left. I can easily make
it to a way.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
I can make it fifty miles.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, then I just forgot that, just completely forgot, and
I stopped. I pulled off trying to find the gas station.
You know they tell you were the local, the nearest
gas station. Is trying to find the gas station, and
I've ran out of gas about one hundred and fifty
yards away.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Oh so you could walk over and get some, Yeah
I did.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I did, and they were very nice. No, I've always
been lucky This isn't the first time I've run out
of gas. And I'm not going to tell you how
many times we've run out of gas, but I've run
out of more than a couple of times, more than.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
A couple Now it all comes out.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, and I ran out before they had cell phones.
That's interesting when you just are walking around blind, trying
to figure out where you're gonna get gas, knocking on doors.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Hey, you don't buy any chance of a loanmower, do you.
Speaker 15 (15:35):
It's scary, though, because when you run out of gas
and you have to get out on a highway or
something that's really scary.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Never scared me, Well it probably should, just.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
To say no, yeah, probably you run out a lot
because it scares us, so we get our gas.
Speaker 15 (15:52):
I actually just got a text from our buddy Ken Risotto,
who must be listening, and he goes, there's a pattern
going on here with Larry doesn't let his cell phone
and go down to zero two.

and then I can get on the phone call next
week Cat Stevens at the Beacon Theater every day at
eight twenty five is my EARL candidate Zorahen Mamdani, an
(20:57):
anti Semite. We'll talk about that with Dove Hiken, founder
of Americans Against Anti Semitism next. Plus, we want to

leave us a talkback. Go to seven ten WR on

Crane radio for the talkback of the week callin now.
Is it possible at this point for Zorin Mamdani to
repair his reputation with New York's Jewish community? If he
(21:45):
wants to win in the general election, he's going to
need to. But let's find out if that's even possible
with Dove Hiken, former member of the New York State Assembly,
he was there for thirty six years and founder of
Americans Against Anti Semitism. Thanks so much for being here, Dove.
I appreciate the time.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Please your pleasure.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
I was saying, my pleasure to be with you.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Let me ask you the question, just point blank, is
it possible for Zurin Mamdani to repair his reputation with
the Jewish community?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
The answer is absolutely not, because I think everyone out
there realizes that what Mamdani has been doing uh a
support in the streets of New York. For the past
couple of years, the marches globalized the Antipada from the
river to the sea, him being there being part of it,
(22:42):
those who support Commas and the rest of it, and
the whole history. Mamdani is not someone who suddenly a
year ago or six months ago, even two years ago,
became a radicalized Islamist. It goes back to when he
was a kid, his family, father. It's part of who
he is. And no one is going to be fooled
(23:05):
by the desperate attempts by Democratic leaders in New York.
I mean they're desperate. They're in a difficult situation. You know,
Democrats want to support democrats regardless of who the democrat is,
regardless of how terrible that person is for the well
being of the communities they represent. So there's a desperation
(23:25):
for people like Schumer and others to be able to say, Look,
we got Mamdani to say that he's not really he's
going to try to get people not to say globalized
me as a father. Lets how preposterous. I mean, give
Mamdanni credit. He is a radical Islamis. Leave him alone.
(23:47):
This is what he believes no one is going to
be fooled by any of this. And look wespoke just
a short while ago, I was talking about Curtis Sliwa
and the very very latest poll. I mean, it's incredible.
I know it's only one poll in one moment, but
this race is far far from over. With Curtis Lee,
(24:10):
we're having a great chance. You know, this is a
fascinating period, but it's about saving New York. Really, this
is not rhetoric to get about being a Democrat, Republican
or anything else. This year. Be an American, be a
New Yorker caring about the future of New York. And
the last person you can support is Mom, Donnie. If
(24:33):
you care about our future, we have.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
We have Curtis Leewa, by the way, coming up in
about twenty minutes, so we're going to be talking to
him live, and I know he's excited about that latest poll.
It does show and he's been saying this from the beginning.
By the way, at a four way race, he can win,
and he's been saying that from the beginning. Let me
ask you more about Zorin Mamdani. So it's irreparable at
this point that like if he were to come to
(24:58):
leaders of the Jewish community would have said to them,
you know what, I was just wrong. I was wrong,
and I apologize, and I don't believe in a global infantata,
and I don't believe in River to the Sea, and
I hope I can get your support.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Is it too late for that?
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, look, Larry, if someone truly says I made a mistake,
you know, if Cuomo wants to have a chance, he
has to deal with some of the horrible things that
he was involved with and say to New Yorkers, look,
I made a mistake. I was wrong. He's got to
say something. If he doesn't, he's dead in the water
(25:37):
as far as Mandania is concerned. I mean, if a
guy gets on his knees and says, I beg and
plead please, and he goes through all of these things, Larry,
it's impossible because then everyone else, then the people who
supported him. Remember a lot of his support came from
radicalized leftists who supported him precisely because he was marching
(26:01):
in the streets in supportive BDS globalizing in Topada from
the River to the Sea, Aparthi genocide, accusing is real
of those things. So you know, he goes the other way,
and suddenly, you know, like like obviously, you know, it's
the general election. I got to change my views. Who's
going to buy that the people who supported him would
(26:23):
abandon him? So it makes no sense. I really believe
Mamdani is true to the things that he has said.
He really believes those things, and I give him credit
for that, and we got to make sure the feed
him so he's not going anywhere. Look, it's the Democratic
leadership that is so desperate. I mean, Schumer is so
pathetically desperate. The protector of the Jewish people, Chuck Schumer, who,
(26:49):
by the way, has in his book that he just
wrote about anti Semetism just a short while ago. He says,
globalize the Intifada means the murder of every Jew in Israel.
And Schumer goes a step further in that book and
he says it means the murder of Jews everywhere. And
(27:09):
this is what Mamdani has been part of. So suddenly
now because he needs to win the election and he
knows he's in trouble. I mean, Mamdani may be leading
by a pointer too, but we have an opportunity to
defeak this individual. This radical and send a message to
(27:31):
the entire country to defeat him.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And I'm going to say this to Curtis Leieva too.
To defeat him, you have to pray, hope and pray
that Eric Adams and Cuomo don't join forces. And right
now it looks like an impossibility. But if they feel
like a Republican might get in or a socialist might
get in, that very well could happen if they're desperate
(27:54):
on that.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Yeah. Look, I never say it's impossible, comes to a
politician and making deals and you know, like the normal
person would say that's impossible, that can't happen. But look,
look the way Adams talks about Cuomo's way Cuomo talks
about Adams. For them to suddenly come together to join
(28:16):
I think would turn people off even more. I think
Curtis is really he's been around, but he's the fresh space.
Think about it. He's the guy that has been out
there protecting communities, not getting anything really in return, doing
a lot of amazing stuff. So I think, look, Cuomo,
we know the guy. The guy has to leave being governor.
(28:39):
Now we're going to make him the mayor of New York.
I mean, does that make sense. I mean adams Is,
I mean god disaster, I mean the corruption and new
things have come out almost daily about his administration. I mean,
what do we want to award him a given four
more years? You really mean this? URTIs is the guy.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Who could do I get it, and I'll tell him
you said that too. He's coming up in a little
bit over twenty minutes, actually about fifteen now. Dove Hiken,
thank you so much. It was great to talk to
you again. Former member of the New York State Assembly
and founder of Americans Against Anti Semitism.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Have a good weekend of thanks Larry good Shavi, A
good weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Stephen Colbert's late show is signing off. But do New
Yorkers even care? Natalie Mgliori finds out on her Beat
on the Street.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
Next Now he's seventen w oars Beat on the Street
with Natalie Migliore.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Finally we are rid of Stephen Colbert. The world is
a better place. But how do New Yorkers feel about it? Well,
that's what Natalie Mgliori asked them today in her Beat
on the Street.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Natalie, you're saying.
Speaker 16 (29:55):
Good morning, Larry. Wait, you're saying the world is a
better place. But my open line with some sad news
for a late nights.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not sad news.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
It's sad. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's sad news that the Late Night Show is going away.
I'm sad about that for David Letterman, who founded the show.
I'm not sad that Stephen Colbert is going away.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You know, he was a big trumpeting fool.
Speaker 16 (30:23):
Well we're ditching. Okay, we're ditching the opening line man. Now,
so Paramount, the parent company of CBS, and you know
the Late Night Show, The Late Show is making the
decision to end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Lights
at the Theater on fifty third and Broadway will go
dark come May twenty twenty six, with Colbert telling audience
(30:46):
members he's actually still grappling with the decision since finding
out on Wednesday.
Speaker 14 (30:51):
That's sad, especially being from New York. You know that's
something someone everyone will watch.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Basically it's been here forever. I don't understand what's going on.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Good because he was unfair.
Speaker 14 (31:04):
I think it's okay because he's like every other news has,
oh white man with nothing interesting to say.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Well, he's a comedian. No, he's like the want of glasses. Yeah,
I know, yeah, he talks about the news. He's not
funny about it. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 14 (31:18):
I mean, I didn't realize he was a comedian, so he.
Speaker 16 (31:20):
Should have worked on it.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
That's maybe why the show ended.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (31:25):
Yeah, that girl stopped short of saying he's not funny.
I realize now you can't hear the f when she
went to say he's not funny. But that was our
little conversation. But that's maybe not the reason. Entire amount
cited financial concerns against a challenging backdrop it's changing time,
saying it has nothing to do with the show's performance
(31:45):
or content. But it really begs the question, Larry, are
people watching late night TV anymore?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
No? I go hire at eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
But that's a shame.
Speaker 14 (31:55):
No, I have no science, to be honest, it's the
first time I hear about it.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
No watch any of those shows unless it's somebody that
I follow.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I really like is like a guest on it. Other
than I don't really watch it.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Well, I do not regularly, not as regular as I
used to.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But I do old school stuff like that Johnny Carson,
all them old people.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, like old school stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
So reruns, Yeah, reruns. I'll watch rerun stuff that I
didn't get to see that I want to see, Like, ohh,
I it is interesting, so I'll watch it.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (32:25):
He was talking David Letterman, who actually started the Late Show,
and Jade Leno, who at the time was his competitor.
Now Powermount says it's going to end the Late Show entirely,
which means it's not going to look to replace Colbert.
Some are accusing power Amount of retaliating against Colbert after
he criticized the network for settling a sixteen million dollar
(32:48):
lawsuit with President Trump. These New Yorkers would maybe agree.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Hell, yeah, that's kind of obvious, which is really really
messed up. Yeah, he should sue if he can, which
I'm sure he can.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's a drag because I love Stephen Colbert and I'm
gonna miss him, but I'm sure he's gonna pop up
someplace else. So Paramount, I'm hoping it don't happen, but
we're gonna miss you.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (33:13):
And even though people say they've heard about the show ending,
that was sort of a sample I want to say
a sample sale now, but that was a sort of
a sample of people who were sad, but they're not
so devastated everyone else, especially young people who say they're
not even watching TV, like any TV.
Speaker 14 (33:30):
I feel that people are just watching more like Netflix
and things like that. So that's that's just the reason
why I.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Haven't watched TV. And I don't even know how long.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
You know, everything's online YouTube and I might stream some things.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
It's the times, right, like they're always looking for something newer, better,
I guess, I don't know. I hope it's you know,
the story.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
For all of them.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Well, a lot of us do watch less TV everything.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Everyone streams everything.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
It's super competitive. So I it kind of sucks, you know,
because I'm probably part of the reason.
Speaker 16 (34:01):
You know, there you have the end of an error, Larry,
but that you came on the air very happy about.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
No, I've been talking about it throughout the morning. I
know you're out working, but it's it's a great day
for America that Stephen Colbert is off the air. I
will tell you I was disappointed in him. I used
to love him on The Daily Show. I used to
think he was very funny on the Daily Show. And
even before that, they you know, he was doing improv.
He was just a funny man. But what he got
(34:32):
on the show, and I'm sure David Letterman was disappointed
with what he was doing, because David Letterman never did this.
We never knew David Letterman's politics, but he made it
a political show and he and he specifically kept going
after Donald Trump. And after a while, you're losing half
your audience and some of the stuff's just not funny.
Speaker 16 (34:52):
It's just like, you know what, Larry I was in
dead by then anyway, because we get up at the
crack of bow before the sun comes up, so I
never even paid attention. So I'm like, I'm tucking dead
by the time that guy even says alone to people,
I'm like whatever, But.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
So no look for you.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And the ratings, by the way, for all of those
those shows, except for Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 15 (35:18):
Well it's funny because you know, I asked my kids
about it, and I don't think they've ever seen the
show in real time. They'll see clips on TikTok, and
that's it, and I'm sure that's where this kind of
late night world might be going.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
That's it is exactly where it's going.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And Jimmy Fallon was way ahead on that because he
does little bits that you can share, and they pop
up on Instagram and they pop up everywhere. But Stephen Colbert, oh,
so sad to see you go, you know, don't. I
hope he doesn't arise anywhere else. I'm sure he's going
to probably will get his own show on MSNBC or CNN.
Oh no, no, they're cleaning house too. He might be
(35:53):
all done for. Wouldn't that be a wonderful day? Thanks
so much, Thanks so much, Natalie. Natalie is going to
be back Monday morning at eight point fifty.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, coming up next.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I'm really excited about this, and we have some talkbacks
and we want to play for him. A lot of
people have called and said he should get rid of
the red beret. Asked Curtis Leewa, the man who was
in a statistical tie for the race to be the
next mayor of New York. He's coming up next. Also
listen for the keyword after the nine o'clock news, then
head to sevent ten WR dot com for your chance
(36:26):
at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
It's nine o'clock
Welcome back, Happy Friday, gonna be a beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And let's get to the Big three and the mayor's race.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Mayor Adams, a former cop, gets endorsements from most of
the law enforcement unions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Don't tell me about law enforcement over time.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Tell me about how we brought down crime in the city.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That's what our members and that's how you talk to
police unions talk about overtime. And the latest polling, Adams
comes in fourth behind Mom, Donnie Cuomo, and Sliwa, who
are locked in a statistical three way tie. Republican candidate
for mayor, Curtis Sliwa is very much in this race.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
So one thing everybody knows, you can't buy, rent, lease,
or own Curtis sleiewa the billionaires on all.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Three of these candidates.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
You know who owns me The spirit of my mother
and father, the blue collar working class. That's who I
dedicate this city to when I become mayor.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Coming up in a now, Curtis Lee will we'll be
here live in Washington. Donald Trump has been diagnosed with
a condition that affects his veins and cardiovascular system.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
This diagnosis is a progressive one, meaning that there's no
curative treatment or intervention sort certainly can lead to persistent swelling,
which can lead to persistent pain and difficulty with mobility
at the age of seventy nine can be difficult at
the age of seventy nine, while also being the president
can be a tremendous amount of work.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Right, This is a very common ailment apparently, and doctor
Yan katz Nelson from the USA Vein Clinics, he's going
to be here at nine to twenty to explain what
the president has and how it can be treated. In
East Rockaway in Nasa County, over one thousand gallons of
oil leaks into the Mill River.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
So it's everywhere on the boats of jet skis like
now we're going to be responsible clean and it's like
who's going to clean it?
Speaker 7 (01:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
There's a big cleanup effort going on there right now,
and some of it is individual. There's a lot of
people out there trying to clean off birds and wildlife
that love the river. It's cooling oil that's leaked and
it's for three days it leaked. It's not hazardous, but
it still, as I said, affects wildlife and it prevents
people from swimming. Psee andng is on the job right now.
(02:16):
They're responsible for the spill and the cleanup. The Senate
votes to cut the funding for NPR Radio because you know,
they're a lot more political than they are public radio.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
It's about the nine billion dollars that we're going to save.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Or ninety billion dollars in the tenure window, and where
I come from, that's still a lot of money. And
the best story of the day, the best news of
the day. Another broadcast that is going away for being
far too political, the Late Show with the Trump hating
Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 9 (02:52):
It's not just the end of our show, but it's
the end of the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 10 (02:56):
I'm not being replaced.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
This is all just going away.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, in ten months, it's all going away. The Late
Show is going away. The thing that the gift that
David Letterman gave us is going away because Stephen Colbert
ruined it. Now, let's talk to Rick Klein, ABC News
Washington Bureau chief. We haven't talked to you in a
couple of weeks. Rick, Are we on vacation or you
(03:22):
just don't like us?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
No, just been off for a little bit, you know,
going on another slow Washington summer.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know what it's like, yeah, how can you say
where you went?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
How was it go?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Down in Colonial Beach, Virginia? Nice little town a couple
hours out of DC. Very quiet, very very serene, and
very not Washington. You know, it's not far away.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's wonderful. You sound like you came back all invitegrated
and vintegrated. Man, that's a weird You put vinegar in
something invigorated. Uh so, apparently I need a vacation. Hey,
let's talk about this Epstein mess. I don't even know
where to start. So why didn't you go through it
for us? Because it is fascinating to me how this
(04:10):
sprang up in Maga, of all places, from all people.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Well, look, this has been going on for years, you know.
Jeffrey Epstein. The federal investigation and then his suicide happened
at twenty nineteen during the first Trump administration, and the
conspiracy theory started just about from the start, and they
gained steam frankly after Trump left office because there were
still a lot of questions and whispers about this massive
(04:36):
investigation and what else Jeffrey Epstein, who else he was
involved in? We know he had been associated with lots
of prominent New Yorkers and lots of prominent politicians, including
Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, but it was really the
Trump base that whipped up a fervor to suggest that
there was a massive pedophile ring and a cover up
around this, and the calls for releasing of the documents
(04:57):
came from people like Dan Vongino and Cash Bttel and
Donald Trump Junior and Jadie Vance. And then Trump becomes president,
they review the documents. Pam Bondi says, this is all
going to be out there. She has a big event
at one point saying here's Phase one really much hyped,
and then she comes out quietly after the July fourth
weekend says nothing to see here and there's not going
to be anything else coming out. And Trump has asked
(05:18):
his base to follow that and to take that as
the final answer, and they quite frankly have not. In
the last two weeks have been consumed by questions that
Magabase mostly is raising about why there might be kind
of a you know, could there be a cover up?
Why isn't this information coming out as long and promise?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It is so hypocritical the way that the Democrats jumped
on this too, because they didn't care about it at
all when Biden was in office, and they weren't complaining
until MAGA complained. And now they're jumping on it. They
won hearings, they're making a big deal about it. I'm
not sure this is going away anytime soon. I don't
know if you saw it Rick on CNN, Harry Enton,
(05:56):
who does a great job with the polls, they had
asked and I guess it was another poster that asked,
what is the biggest issue in the country right now?
And they talked of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds one
person said the Epstein files. One respondent, not one percentage,
just one person. It shows you the power. I think
(06:18):
it's a it's a substory to this, but an important one.
It shows you the power of social media.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
That's a great point, and I think it's a power
that it's been powered by a MAGA based on social media. Look,
if this was just Democrats jumping up and down, this
would not be a story anymore because they're not in power.
There's nothing they could do about it. This would have
been gone two weeks ago. But it's not. You see
the very influential people in the Trump movement. Former National
(06:47):
Security advisor Michael Flynn with an impassioned plea on this.
We saw Joe Rogan go up on this. I mean,
these are big, big names with huge followings that think
there's something up here. And yes, Democrats have seized the
political advantag it's here. But but this is this, If
this continues, it's going to be because of Donald Trump's
own base, and he's doing what he can to quiet Overnight,
he says he's asking his Attorney general to uh to
(07:11):
uh to to to ask for Grand Jewelry records to
be to be taken down. But the bottom line is
that that's not something that he is the full power
to do. And uh and unlesser, until there's a full accounting,
we're just not gonna I don't think we're going to
see a base that's defaciated.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
No, there's so many reasons this story is fascinating, But
you're right, this is the issue that MAGA turns on
him on. You know, of all the things that could
possibly be, this is the one. This is the hill
they want to die on. It's it's fascinating to me.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
There's a whole lot of other things going on, but
I want to I want to focus on new York
because it's become a national story. Donald Trump's talked about it.
It's on the national news a lot. The fact that
we have an avowed socialist running for mayor, and not
only running, but doing extremely well. He paid a visit
to Washington, and I know that the far left of
(08:04):
the party just fawned over him. What do you make
of Zorin Mamdani, Well.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
He's doing it he can to try to build bridges
to the Democratic Party base. He is the Democratic nominee.
Whether Democrats in New York or Washington like it or not,
he is the nominee. But he isn't guaranteed to win.
As you know, We've got the incumbent mayor who's running
as an independent, Andrew Plomo now saying to run as
an independent. We have Curtis Lee were running. You know,
there's a lot of permutations on this, and under normal
(08:30):
circumstances in twenty twenty five New York, you'd think the
Democrat wins it's going to be a landslide. But I
think there's a lot of different cross currents and a
lot of it has to do with who Mamdanni is
and what he has said and what he's believed and
what the Democratic base is believing these days. The fact
that he could win a primary at all, despite the
lack of experience, despite the statements on Israel. It is
a major moment. I think is the highest profile race
(08:51):
of the in the country this year, and I think
it's going to continue to draw a lot of scrutiny.
And I don't know that Mamdani's going to be able
to just be embraced by national Democrats, including New Yorkers,
people like Hakim Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer who been hesitant.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Right, and Kathy Hochel.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I will tell you this, it's really fascinating because I'll
give him credit for this. Him tapping into the issue
of affordability was huge and everybody is using that term now.
He's teaching the Democratic Party not to be socialists, but
what to run on.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yeah, I think there's a lot of Democrats that would
like to be able to capture that magic and say,
look that let's make this about affordability about the cost
of living, because I mean, you see that in a
lot of the national messaging, even with the Epstein story,
but the percolating you see a lot of Democrats the
like Let's talk about medicaid, Let's talk about inflation, Let's
talk about food prices, Let's talk about the impact of tariffs.
They know that that is, those are the kind of
(09:45):
issues that really draw voters out. They certainly did in
New York. But I don't think, you know, you can
just ignore the other parts of what mom Donni has
said and done as part of his rise to prominence.
And that's what's going to get scrutiny now in this
long run up to November.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hey, real quick, Rick, what do you have coming up
this week? On this week?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah, we're six months exactly into Trump two point zero.
Martha Radinson's on the road talking to people impacted by this,
including some farm workers, and talk immigration official in southern
California is talking to the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass,
another kind of embattled mayor these days, in a tough spot,
you know, taking a little bit of a temperature check
and of course more Epstein fall out if we see
(10:23):
anything in the next forty eight hours at a grandeuriy.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Estimony and af Hey, BC News Washington Bureau chief Rick
kleinb Thanks Rick, Have you you all right? Have you
ever run out of gas? If not, you may not
know what to do. We'll fill you in next plus
tickets to see the Who at a local venue of
your choice. Stay with us, Max, always appreciate them.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You will be.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
In the running, not only for the Mente in the
morning t shirt. And we've had a couple of people
call in and beg for them and it really don't beg.
Just you know, give us a great talk back and
we will get it to you.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Larry, when you get Curtis on, you gotta tell Curtis listen, man. Look,
he's great for the safety of the city, no doubt
about it. But I think that's more of a concern
for older people. He needs to reach out to younger voters.
He needs to bring some people on that can reach
out to younger voters. We could do this, Curtis, come on, baby,
(11:20):
let's do this.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
Oh this sounds like Curtis.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, he actually does.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Maybe it was maybe it was Curtis giving himself advice.
We should play that for Curtis. Also, when he comes on.
Speaker 12 (11:33):
Hip Hip, hooray about Stephen Colbert. I mean, the guy
is a blowhard and Jimmy Kimmel, I don't know what
to say about him. But just go check out his
Instagram or threads page at what they did over the weekend.
He's got his kids out holding anti Trump signs on
(11:53):
the side of the road. He's a real hero and genius.
So anyways, love the show.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, he embraces his anti Trump is there's no question.
I mean, he lives it and you and then it
spills over onto the show. We'll see if he's the
next one to go, because it's this isn't going well
for people that are anti Trump, with all the networks
who were afraid about lawsuits.
Speaker 13 (12:18):
That's what Kennedy's trying to do. The restrictions here don't exist.
They're non existent. That's why they put crap in our sodas.
And you can get Fanta over there with real fruit juice.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That was for you.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That was fascinating what you said that the Fanta in
this country is much different than it is in Europe,
and it's much better over there and more natural.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
If you like that kind of thing. But I thought
it was amazing.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, well, I mean I'm going by you. Yeah, and
you said it, well, everybody that drank it loved.
Speaker 14 (12:51):
It, everybody.
Speaker 15 (12:52):
Tully, I had to buy a case of it. I
had to find an importer of Fonta soda.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's incredible. What the it is good though, Yeah, it's
incredible what they do in this country and what they
allow us to eat.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
The Late Night Show went woke and now they went broke.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Company after company learns the hard way. You're absolutely correct.
So let's talk about running out of gas, Jacqueline. Have
you ever run out of gas?
Speaker 10 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Never, never, Natalie, have you ever run out of guess?
Speaker 10 (13:22):
No crash?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Have you ever run a guess?
Speaker 10 (13:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, he says every morning between six and ten, But
in his car?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, no, he never has. All Right, let's move on, Lary.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
Have you ever run out of gas?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
A couple of times?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
A couple of times?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, Well a couple of days ago, I ran out
of gas, dude, A couple of days ago, yeah, I did.
I have the new car, and I'm not used to
it yet when it runs out of gas, actually I
knew I was low. Actually, when it's on E that
means you should get some.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's worse than that.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I actually have no excuse because not only does it
pop up with a big you are low on gas
thing you across the head.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, it starts my seat starts shaking.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, and not only do I have that, it actually
tells me how many miles I have left. Oh boy,
so it tells you. You know, you have two miles left,
You have your miles.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Left you You don't believe it. No, I don't believe
that thing.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I didn't notice it.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Oh all right, I was.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You know, when I leave here, I have a long drive,
and so when I leave here, I just start either
making phone calls or listening to a book or doing
many other things and not paying attention. I have absolutely
no excuse because I knew I was low coming in,
and I thought to myself, let me say I got.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I got twenty seven miles left. I can easily make
it to a way.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
I can make it fifty miles.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, then I just forgot that, just completely forgot, and
I stopped. I pulled off trying to find the gas station.
You know they tell you were the local, the nearest
gas station. Is trying to find the gas station, and
I've ran out of gas about one hundred and fifty
yards away.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Oh so you could walk over and get some, Yeah
I did.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I did, and they were very nice. No, I've always
been lucky This isn't the first time I've run out
of gas. And I'm not going to tell you how
many times we've run out of gas, but I've run
out of more than a couple of times, more than.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
A couple Now it all comes out.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, and I ran out before they had cell phones.
That's interesting when you just are walking around blind, trying
to figure out where you're gonna get gas, knocking on doors.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Hey, you don't buy any chance of a loanmower, do you.
Speaker 15 (15:35):
It's scary, though, because when you run out of gas
and you have to get out on a highway or
something that's really scary.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Never scared me, Well it probably should, just.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
To say no, yeah, probably you run out a lot
because it scares us, so we get our gas.
Speaker 15 (15:52):
I actually just got a text from our buddy Ken Risotto,
who must be listening, and he goes, there's a pattern
going on here with Larry doesn't let his cell phone
and go down to zero two.

and then I can get on the phone call next
week Cat Stevens at the Beacon Theater every day at
eight twenty five is my EARL candidate Zorahen Mamdani, an
(20:57):
anti Semite. We'll talk about that with Dove Hiken, founder
of Americans Against Anti Semitism next. Plus, we want to
hear from you and what you have to say, just
leave us a talkback. Go to seven ten WR on
the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and when you're there,
put seven to ten WOR on your presets. Plus, you
(21:21):
could win a limited edition MENTI in the Morning t
shirt which will be awarded to our favorite talk back
in the morning. And today we're giving out a sea
Crane radio for the talkback of the week callin now.
Is it possible at this point for Zorin Mamdani to
repair his reputation with New York's Jewish community? If he
(21:45):
wants to win in the general election, he's going to
need to. But let's find out if that's even possible
with Dove Hiken, former member of the New York State Assembly,
he was there for thirty six years and founder of
Americans Against Anti Semitism. Thanks so much for being here, Dove.
I appreciate the time.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Please your pleasure.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
I was saying, my pleasure to be with you.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Let me ask you the question, just point blank, is
it possible for Zurin Mamdani to repair his reputation with
the Jewish community?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
The answer is absolutely not, because I think everyone out
there realizes that what Mamdani has been doing uh a
support in the streets of New York. For the past
couple of years, the marches globalized the Antipada from the
river to the sea, him being there being part of it,
(22:42):
those who support Commas and the rest of it, and
the whole history. Mamdani is not someone who suddenly a
year ago or six months ago, even two years ago,
became a radicalized Islamist. It goes back to when he
was a kid, his family, father. It's part of who
he is. And no one is going to be fooled
(23:05):
by the desperate attempts by Democratic leaders in New York.
I mean they're desperate. They're in a difficult situation. You know,
Democrats want to support democrats regardless of who the democrat is,
regardless of how terrible that person is for the well
being of the communities they represent. So there's a desperation
(23:25):
for people like Schumer and others to be able to say, Look,
we got Mamdani to say that he's not really he's
going to try to get people not to say globalized
me as a father. Lets how preposterous. I mean, give
Mamdanni credit. He is a radical Islamis. Leave him alone.
(23:47):
This is what he believes no one is going to
be fooled by any of this. And look wespoke just
a short while ago, I was talking about Curtis Sliwa
and the very very latest poll. I mean, it's incredible.
I know it's only one poll in one moment, but
this race is far far from over. With Curtis Lee,
(24:10):
we're having a great chance. You know, this is a
fascinating period, but it's about saving New York. Really, this
is not rhetoric to get about being a Democrat, Republican
or anything else. This year. Be an American, be a
New Yorker caring about the future of New York. And
the last person you can support is Mom, Donnie. If
(24:33):
you care about our future, we have.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
We have Curtis Leewa, by the way, coming up in
about twenty minutes, so we're going to be talking to
him live, and I know he's excited about that latest poll.
It does show and he's been saying this from the beginning.
By the way, at a four way race, he can win,
and he's been saying that from the beginning. Let me
ask you more about Zorin Mamdani. So it's irreparable at
this point that like if he were to come to
(24:58):
leaders of the Jewish community would have said to them,
you know what, I was just wrong. I was wrong,
and I apologize, and I don't believe in a global infantata,
and I don't believe in River to the Sea, and
I hope I can get your support.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Is it too late for that?
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, look, Larry, if someone truly says I made a mistake,
you know, if Cuomo wants to have a chance, he
has to deal with some of the horrible things that
he was involved with and say to New Yorkers, look,
I made a mistake. I was wrong. He's got to
say something. If he doesn't, he's dead in the water
(25:37):
as far as Mandania is concerned. I mean, if a
guy gets on his knees and says, I beg and
plead please, and he goes through all of these things, Larry,
it's impossible because then everyone else, then the people who
supported him. Remember a lot of his support came from
radicalized leftists who supported him precisely because he was marching
(26:01):
in the streets in supportive BDS globalizing in Topada from
the River to the Sea, Aparthi genocide, accusing is real
of those things. So you know, he goes the other way,
and suddenly, you know, like like obviously, you know, it's
the general election. I got to change my views. Who's
going to buy that the people who supported him would
(26:23):
abandon him? So it makes no sense. I really believe
Mamdani is true to the things that he has said.
He really believes those things, and I give him credit
for that, and we got to make sure the feed
him so he's not going anywhere. Look, it's the Democratic
leadership that is so desperate. I mean, Schumer is so
pathetically desperate. The protector of the Jewish people, Chuck Schumer, who,
(26:49):
by the way, has in his book that he just
wrote about anti Semetism just a short while ago. He says,
globalize the Intifada means the murder of every Jew in Israel.
And Schumer goes a step further in that book and
he says it means the murder of Jews everywhere. And
(27:09):
this is what Mamdani has been part of. So suddenly
now because he needs to win the election and he
knows he's in trouble. I mean, Mamdani may be leading
by a pointer too, but we have an opportunity to
defeak this individual. This radical and send a message to
(27:31):
the entire country to defeat him.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And I'm going to say this to Curtis Leieva too.
To defeat him, you have to pray, hope and pray
that Eric Adams and Cuomo don't join forces. And right
now it looks like an impossibility. But if they feel
like a Republican might get in or a socialist might
get in, that very well could happen if they're desperate
(27:54):
on that.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Yeah. Look, I never say it's impossible, comes to a
politician and making deals and you know, like the normal
person would say that's impossible, that can't happen. But look,
look the way Adams talks about Cuomo's way Cuomo talks
about Adams. For them to suddenly come together to join
(28:16):
I think would turn people off even more. I think
Curtis is really he's been around, but he's the fresh space.
Think about it. He's the guy that has been out
there protecting communities, not getting anything really in return, doing
a lot of amazing stuff. So I think, look, Cuomo,
we know the guy. The guy has to leave being governor.
(28:39):
Now we're going to make him the mayor of New York.
I mean, does that make sense. I mean adams Is,
I mean god disaster, I mean the corruption and new
things have come out almost daily about his administration. I mean,
what do we want to award him a given four
more years? You really mean this? URTIs is the guy.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Who could do I get it, and I'll tell him
you said that too. He's coming up in a little
bit over twenty minutes, actually about fifteen now. Dove Hiken,
thank you so much. It was great to talk to
you again. Former member of the New York State Assembly
and founder of Americans Against Anti Semitism.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Have a good weekend of thanks Larry good Shavi, A
good weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Stephen Colbert's late show is signing off. But do New
Yorkers even care? Natalie Mgliori finds out on her Beat
on the Street.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
Next Now he's seventen w oars Beat on the Street
with Natalie Migliore.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Finally we are rid of Stephen Colbert. The world is
a better place. But how do New Yorkers feel about it? Well,
that's what Natalie Mgliori asked them today in her Beat
on the Street.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Natalie, you're saying.
Speaker 16 (29:55):
Good morning, Larry. Wait, you're saying the world is a
better place. But my open line with some sad news
for a late nights.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not sad news.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
It's sad. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's sad news that the Late Night Show is going away.
I'm sad about that for David Letterman, who founded the show.
I'm not sad that Stephen Colbert is going away.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You know, he was a big trumpeting fool.
Speaker 16 (30:23):
Well we're ditching. Okay, we're ditching the opening line man. Now,
so Paramount, the parent company of CBS, and you know
the Late Night Show, The Late Show is making the
decision to end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Lights
at the Theater on fifty third and Broadway will go
dark come May twenty twenty six, with Colbert telling audience
(30:46):
members he's actually still grappling with the decision since finding
out on Wednesday.
Speaker 14 (30:51):
That's sad, especially being from New York. You know that's
something someone everyone will watch.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Basically it's been here forever. I don't understand what's going on.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Good because he was unfair.
Speaker 14 (31:04):
I think it's okay because he's like every other news has,
oh white man with nothing interesting to say.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Well, he's a comedian. No, he's like the want of glasses. Yeah,
I know, yeah, he talks about the news. He's not
funny about it. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 14 (31:18):
I mean, I didn't realize he was a comedian, so he.
Speaker 16 (31:20):
Should have worked on it.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
That's maybe why the show ended.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (31:25):
Yeah, that girl stopped short of saying he's not funny.
I realize now you can't hear the f when she
went to say he's not funny. But that was our
little conversation. But that's maybe not the reason. Entire amount
cited financial concerns against a challenging backdrop it's changing time,
saying it has nothing to do with the show's performance
(31:45):
or content. But it really begs the question, Larry, are
people watching late night TV anymore?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
No? I go hire at eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
But that's a shame.
Speaker 14 (31:55):
No, I have no science, to be honest, it's the
first time I hear about it.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
No watch any of those shows unless it's somebody that
I follow.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I really like is like a guest on it. Other
than I don't really watch it.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Well, I do not regularly, not as regular as I
used to.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But I do old school stuff like that Johnny Carson,
all them old people.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, like old school stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
So reruns, Yeah, reruns. I'll watch rerun stuff that I
didn't get to see that I want to see, Like, ohh,
I it is interesting, so I'll watch it.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (32:25):
He was talking David Letterman, who actually started the Late Show,
and Jade Leno, who at the time was his competitor.
Now Powermount says it's going to end the Late Show entirely,
which means it's not going to look to replace Colbert.
Some are accusing power Amount of retaliating against Colbert after
he criticized the network for settling a sixteen million dollar
(32:48):
lawsuit with President Trump. These New Yorkers would maybe agree.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Hell, yeah, that's kind of obvious, which is really really
messed up. Yeah, he should sue if he can, which
I'm sure he can.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's a drag because I love Stephen Colbert and I'm
gonna miss him, but I'm sure he's gonna pop up
someplace else. So Paramount, I'm hoping it don't happen, but
we're gonna miss you.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (33:13):
And even though people say they've heard about the show ending,
that was sort of a sample I want to say
a sample sale now, but that was a sort of
a sample of people who were sad, but they're not
so devastated everyone else, especially young people who say they're
not even watching TV, like any TV.
Speaker 14 (33:30):
I feel that people are just watching more like Netflix
and things like that. So that's that's just the reason
why I.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Haven't watched TV. And I don't even know how long.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
You know, everything's online YouTube and I might stream some things.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
It's the times, right, like they're always looking for something newer, better,
I guess, I don't know. I hope it's you know,
the story.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
For all of them.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Well, a lot of us do watch less TV everything.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Everyone streams everything.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
It's super competitive. So I it kind of sucks, you know,
because I'm probably part of the reason.
Speaker 16 (34:01):
You know, there you have the end of an error, Larry,
but that you came on the air very happy about.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
No, I've been talking about it throughout the morning. I
know you're out working, but it's it's a great day
for America that Stephen Colbert is off the air. I
will tell you I was disappointed in him. I used
to love him on The Daily Show. I used to
think he was very funny on the Daily Show. And
even before that, they you know, he was doing improv.
He was just a funny man. But what he got
(34:32):
on the show, and I'm sure David Letterman was disappointed
with what he was doing, because David Letterman never did this.
We never knew David Letterman's politics, but he made it
a political show and he and he specifically kept going
after Donald Trump. And after a while, you're losing half
your audience and some of the stuff's just not funny.
Speaker 16 (34:52):
It's just like, you know what, Larry I was in
dead by then anyway, because we get up at the
crack of bow before the sun comes up, so I
never even paid attention. So I'm like, I'm tucking dead
by the time that guy even says alone to people,
I'm like whatever, But.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
So no look for you.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And the ratings, by the way, for all of those
those shows, except for Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 15 (35:18):
Well it's funny because you know, I asked my kids
about it, and I don't think they've ever seen the
show in real time. They'll see clips on TikTok, and
that's it, and I'm sure that's where this kind of
late night world might be going.
