Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Friday. Yeah, the weekends here, the heat waves over.
That's the good news. The bad news is we're gonna
have some rain, but it's gonna feel really nice. So
get out when you can in between the rainstorms. But
it's gonna rain off and on during the weekend. It's okay,
it's okay. It's not going to be stifling hot, so
(00:20):
just enjoy what you can. In the Big Three. It's official.
Mayor Adams is running for reelection as an independent, and
he came out swinging with Don Lemon on his podcast
against zorin Mam Donnie.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Do you think he's an anti SEMITI?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I think some of the comments of you know, you
look at some of his rap lyrics where he's talked
about of you know, his embracing of Hamas, that says
a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We have Scott Jennings from CNN coming up in just
a couple of minutes. We're going to talk to him
about zorin Mam Donni. We're also going to talk to
him about his trip to Israel. He got stuck there,
he could get out because the missile strikes that twelve
day war started. So it's going to be fascinating to
talk to him about his experience in Israel. It looks
(01:09):
like Congress will be in session, possibly right through the
fourth of July. President Trump has set a deadline to
get the big, beautiful bill on his desk by the
birthday of Our Nation. Speaker Johnson is still waiting for
the bill from the Senate, and they're going to make
some changes, and they have to look on it and
vote on it again. So he said, please, please, please,
(01:32):
don't change it too much.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
They should keep as close to as possible to the
House product, because it took us, as you all know,
a long time to negotiate the very specific provisions of that.
So the more they deviate from it, the more difficult
the job becomes to get the bill to the President's desk.
And we're trying to do that quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And members of Congress got a briefing from the White
House on the bombing attack on the Iran nuclear program,
and it showed, as Donald Trump said, an obliteration, which
all the Republicans came out and said, yep, yep, if
it was obliterated, the Democrats came out and said, well,
let's wait and see. They just will not give credit
they're not. They're certainly not pro Trump, they're anti Trump.
(02:12):
But in being anti Trump, don't they realize they're being
anti American? It was an obliteration.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Obliterated is a good word for me to use.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I can deal people in South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Nobody is going to work in these three sites anytime soon.
They're not going to get into them anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Their operational capability was obliterated.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
After six weeks, the PDD trial is finally coming to
an end. The jury is finally going to get the
case today as closing arguments are wrapping up prosecution. When yesterday,
defense goes today, they'll get read the instructions.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Then what the question will be that even if the
jurors have some uncertainty about whether the prosecution has proved racketeering,
that the juras will find comes to be repugnant and
they're going to want to hold him accountable.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And just wonderful news out of Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Remember the story we told you about the lifeguard who
was getting on her stand and she was fixing the umbrella,
which for some reason wasn't tied in like it should be,
and a gust of wind took her and then she
was impaled right through her back by the umbrella. Well,
(03:27):
she's in the hospital and she's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was very lucky where it hit me, because it
missed every major blood vessel and nerve.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
It just went through my muscle.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It's amazing that she said, she's lucky. It went right
through her armpit and then out of her back. They
had to cut it at the scene just to transport
her to the hospital. But she's gonna be okay. She says,
she can't wait to get back to work. She's bummed
that she can't go back right now. They told her
it's going to be six weeks and a legendary journalist
(04:00):
has died.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
At any given moment. Life does not seem to have
a purpose. But when you look back, it says if
there were was a wind, that you're back all the time,
or there were hands on your back pushing you forward.
And that happened to me. One door open and I
went through it, and another door opened.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I used to love his commentaries. Bill Moyers was Lyndon
Johnson's press secretary. Before that, he was a Baptist minister
and he worked at CBS, NBC and PBS. He had
a great show called The Moyer Journal on PBS that
I must watch. He died at the age of ninety one,
(04:39):
and just in time. Just getting off a plane, as
Scott Jennings, CNN's conservative senior political contributor and author of
the upcoming book Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald Trump
stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. Scott's so glad
you could join us today. You just got off the plane.
(05:00):
I heard you were in Israel, and I guess you
got caught there during the missile strikes. Please tell us
about that experience.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, thanks for having me. It was quite a journey.
Was in Israel ahead of the war to tour some
of the sites related to October the seventh. It was
my first visit to Israel. And then the night had started.
I was watching Israeli fighter jets go one way and
Irani and missiles go the other way in the sky
right above my head. And so I was there on
(05:30):
lockdown in the country for a few days. I eventually
got out through Jordan and flew back to the United States.
But it was one of the most unique and eye
opening experiences I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Did you spend most of the time in a bombshelter.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, you know the way it works there. Their missile
defense system and their national alert system is quite good,
so when missiles are incoming, they give you these warnings
and it comes in on your phone, and so you
actually have a little bit of warning, so you don't
really just sit in a bomb shelter all day. But
once those sirens start sounding and the air raids sirens
starts sounding, you better get to a safe room because
(06:06):
even though the Miffle defenses and intercepts most of them,
you still have debris fragments falling and a few do
get through. So it's quite a harrowing experience. Of course.
You know, the Israelis deal with this every day. It's
part of their everyday life. And it's honestly why I
think they were justified and going to war with Iran
and these terror proxies.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, we talked to Jordana Miller all the time, who is,
as a matter of fact, almost every day, who is
the ABC correspondent in Jerusalem, and it is amazing to
me how they've normalized this. I mean, it's a shame.
You feel bad, and I'm sure you saw that firsthand.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, it's part of their normal life even before the
war started. The night before, I was at a dinner
and the alerts came in. We were in a hotel.
We all went down to this safe room in the hotel.
We stayed in there eight or nine minutes, and then
it was over. We were given the all clear, and
then we went back to our meals. Our plates were
still on the table, and they like, it's just part
(07:01):
of everyday routine. And you know, it's hard to imagine
living with that, but that's what Israel faces. You know,
they have hoofy rebels firing missiles, They've have Hamas on
their border, they have Hesbola, they have Iran shooting missiles,
and so you know, they live with some bad neighbors.
And I think that's why it's been the excellent that
President Trump has supported them and finally saying enough is enough.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, they have bad neighbors. We have a bad candidate
for mayor. I'm sure you've heard about zorin Mamdanni. He's
become a national star overnight, and I think the Democratic
Party sees him as a new leader. I see him
as something to be very very scared of. Give me
your thoughts on Zorin Mamdani and his success.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, I've certainly read about it, and I spent a
little time in the city now because of my CNN work,
And you know, it's amazing to me that when you
take a candidate with some of the statements that he's
made about all sorts of topics in a city like
New York, I don't know what you all going to do.
I mean, I'm happily a resident and citizen of the
(08:02):
state of and Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I don't know
what New York City is going to do if he
enacts his plans. I mean, I was reading this morning.
He's planning to set taxation rates based on your race,
I mean, for goodness sakes, and so these are these
are wild ideas, and it makes me wonder if people
aren't going to decide we got to get behind somebody else,
like Eric Adams or some other you know, some of
(08:24):
the thing for the fall. We'll see how it works out.
But this is the most extreme radical Democrat who has
been nominated for a major office in the United States
certainly in my lifetime, and it is you all are
on the precipice of a disaster.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Here well, and that he'll be a national leader immediately.
So we're all in the precipice of a disaster because
he's got big followers. Of course, of course Bernie Sanders
and AOC have have jumped on his bandwagon already. But
you talked about all the things he promised. He can't
pay for that. That's all state that has to go
through the Assembly. He's a snake oil salesman, and I'm
(09:00):
I can't believe the New Yorkers will fall for that,
but they have already, and he has a really energized base, Scott,
he has something to worry about nationally as well.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
What I find amazing is that I think there's an
assumption out there outside the city that you know, it's
all these working class you know, people who maybe haven't
done as well that are rallying behind a socialist. No,
if you look at the polling and you look at
the exit stuff from the New York Times, it's these
extremely wealthy.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
White liberal.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
High society types who are supporting his candidacy. I mean,
these are the people who can afford to leave when
he destroys the city.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
But the people who will.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Suffer, they can get away, but it's the working class
who won't be able to leave, and the other ones
are going to suffer the most.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, I think you're right. I think he has energy
right now in a small population that gets out for
the primary. But in a general election he can be beaten. Scott,
We got to go. I need I know, you need
to get to your car. Scott Jennings, Conservative senior political
contributor and author of the upcoming book, which you can
order online right now, Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald
(10:08):
Trump stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. Thank you
so much, Scott, Thanks for the time. You may not
know his name, but you know his music. In fact,
some of you may have heard his work every night.
Well remember music composer Leo Schiffrin who died at fifty
(10:28):
three ninety three. Hey, how are you sorry about that?
I was just listening to something in my ear. Welcome back.
We have to get to your talkbacks. That's the most
important thing that we're going to do right now, because
the competition is on for talkback of the morning. It's
been hot and heavy so far, lots of talkbacks, and
(10:52):
we have four more people to play to choose from
as to who is going to win the highly coveted
Minty in the Morning t shirt.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
It's a long time until November, and I think that
if the old Guard Democrats and Republicans moderates can be
incentivized and awakened to what a Moudonni mayoralty would really
be and get out the vote, because New York City
(11:25):
is so apathetic, I think he can be beaten.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You're absolutely right, get out the vote. We get out
the vote. You have enough people get out and vote
that are saying he is going to be beaten. As
a matter of fact, that that happens, he could be
beaten easily.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I understand Curtis wears the beret for recognition, but he's
got to stop wearing that. He looks like a revolutionary
or socialists himself, or just a weirdo now, So please
tell him to stop wearing it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that. I'll tell you what.
That's part of his his whole personality.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
He's not gonna stop good or bad. He's not gonna
stop wearing that bereat because it's a symbol to him
of law and order. It's a symbol to him of
the Guardian Angels and he's really proud of that. So yeah,
I'm not gonna I am not gonna tell him that.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
I believe the way that Mandani can actually win this
mayoral contest is if he runs on free Larry Minty
T shirts, which will really bring him over the top.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I was pounding the desk. That's such a great idea.
Let's not give it to him, Let's not let's Oh no,
you want to give it to You don't want to
give it to mom Dommy. Right in my mind, you
wanted to give it to mom Domi. But if you
give free Menti in the morning, think about that, how
valuable they are? Does the Assembly have to pass that
(12:52):
before you can give out free Menti in the morning
t shirts?
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Oh, it's gonna be interesting because that's that could just
we're in the whole wave there.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Oh, absolutely, it's it is the way to beat him.
It's definitely the way to beat him.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
This as a reminder, Joe Biden's presidency effectively ended a
year ago tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's right, huge anniversary when this happened.
Speaker 12 (13:15):
Childcare, elder care, Making sure that we continue to supremit
strength in our healthcare system, making sure that we're able
to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've
been able to do with the with the COVID, I
e sculd be with dealing with everything we have to
do with Look if we finally beat medicare.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And I love Trump's line right after that, Yeah, he
beat Medicare. He beat it to death. He picked right
up on that. It was a stark contrast between the
two of them, and it played out and that was
the end of Joe Biden's presidency and candidacy at that
very moment. Thanks a lot for the reminder. Yeah, that
(14:02):
was great. Hey, Lailo Schiffer In it's not a name
you're going to know, but you know his music. He
died on Thursday at the age of ninety three. And
just to give you a little taste, see if you
remember what this is, I think you're going to know
it right away. It is one of the most famous
theme songs in history. Leilo Schifflow's Cool Hand Luke, the
(14:26):
Amityville Horror, the Sting. He's Argentine and he won four Grammys,
He's been up for several Oscars, didn't win, but man,
we just lost a legend. And now now you know
his name. Now let's go to Larry Kowski with the
nine to thirty news. He's filling in for Jacklin Carl today, Larry.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And good morning, Larry. We have sixty six degrees under
Cloudy's guys. Mayor Adams kicking off his bid for reelection
as an independent after Zoran Mandami became the presumptivemocratic nominee
in Tuesday's primary. Speaking yesterday on the steps of City Hall,
Adams criticized Mamdani as having no real political achievements, as
(15:11):
as he boasted of his own accomplishments. Still no official
word from former Governor Andrew Cuomo as to whether he
will mount an independent bid for city Hall. CNN reported
yesterday that Cuomo would stay on the ballot. A New
York Post report on Wednesday said that he would not.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
And there's the.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Opening bell on Wall Street with a higher start for
the market now Industrial is gaining one hundred and twenty
two in the early minutes of trading, the S and
P five hundred, up about twelve, and the Nasdaq up
fifty one. Did you ever take the family on vacation
and by the end you just can't wait to get
back to work? Or new research shows that takes parents
(15:51):
two and a half days to recover after traveling with
the family. The survey was conducted by Talker Research. I
was a parents with kids to rage twelve and about
a fourth say that unlimited screen time is the key
to keeping the peace on a family vacate. One in
ten parents said, wait, it gets better. One in ten
(16:12):
said they take a fake bathroom break just to get
a couple of minutes of peace and quiet.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, I've done that. There's no question, kay, because you're.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Doing that to yourself.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
But you're bringing your kid.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
First of all, you're spending a lot of money. Right,
You're going somewhere.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
You want your kids to see wherever you went, not
the screen and just stay home.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, I don't think it's those moments when you're outside.
I think it's those moments when you have to be
around them for an extended period of time. It's like, Hey,
di's you gonna try this game? Look at this, look
at this video, here and take this. I agree.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
I am big on the need of vacation.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
After a vacation, it's exhausted, especially if you get at
Disney World.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Whatever happened to the license plate game? Right right? We
used to do that.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, that gets exhausting as well. Anyway, Thank you much,
Larry Kovsky. Good to have you here today. Thanks a lot.
The stocks we have, the stocks he did, the stocks.
Oh sorry, you weren't listening. Joe Newmeyer's review of That's One,
starring Brad Pitt. It's supposed to be great and explores
cinema's most iconic race car films. All I can think
(17:16):
of three right off the top of my head. That's next.
Let's get right to Joe Newmeyer, film journalist and wo
R movie minted hosts hy Joe, how are.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
You hey, Larry good We've got a big summer movie
this weekend that's kind of kind of coming into the
finish line, kind of a little bit at the stars.
Have you heard about F one, the movie, the big
Brad Pitt movie that's opening this weekend?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
How could I not? Every time I turn on the
TV there's an ad for it. Yes, I've heard about.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
It, right, I think the Formula one organization file, which
has you know, a stake inside the movie. You know,
they are obviously the driving force behind it, No pun
intended have made sure that right. The airwaves are saturated
with it. Here's The thing about this movie, though, Larry,
I'm giving it three stars, and I like it based
on two things really. One is that Brad Pitt is
(18:04):
sort of one of the last great movie stars, and
I you know, I loved him in Once Upon a
Time in Hollywood. He absolutely deserved that Best Supporting Actor
Oscar for that, and his marquee value raises this movie.
I think I think there was another actor in there.
I think you wouldn't really buy it. The other thing
is that I'm a big fan of racing movies, and
I think this film has got some really terrific racing
sequences in it. It's all about you know, f one. Obviously,
(18:26):
it's got some cliche story stuff going on, but the
racing scenes are really really great. The thing is, though,
is the movie is really cliche on the back of
a serial box and that's you know, that's sort of
something you might kind of expect a little bit, but
at this point, you know, I think we need a
little bit more. It really feels like Days of Thunder,
(18:47):
the Tom Cruise movie from nineteen ninety where the you know,
the bar was really kind of low and it was
sort of a kind of a cliche thing you know
in this movie, obviously, you know, Pitt is the is
the elder driver. He's sort of this over the hill
guys who's racing just he's not racing for the money.
He's doing it just for the fun of it. Essentially,
he had a you know, the story goes that he's
(19:09):
a fictional character of the bank in the nineties. He
had a spin out and he's sort of been recovering
from it for thirty years. An old buddy of his
played by Javier Bardem, who's now a team owner, kind
of recruits him to be a driver on the Formula
One team, and there's a conflict with a younger driver
that he sort of becomes a mentor to. There's a
you know, a sexy engineer and played by Kerry Condon,
(19:32):
who I love.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
She was in Dan.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
She's finished, Sharon. She's really terrific. She's a love interest
for Pitt. All of these things it's like, you know
exactly what's coming, and the way it's sort of done
is it's really basic, it's really rudimentary, but the driving
sequences are terrific.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
There.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
You know a lot of these are what's called practical effects.
They're really done really well. And Pitt really sells it.
You know, he really is a you know, he's one
of our last great movie stars. So based on those things,
I'm giving it a giving it three stars. But if
you go in expecting it to be something like Ford
versus Ferrari, which.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I really like, I Love I Love Me Too.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Which has got a real story and it's based on
you know, obviously, you know, it's based on a real thing,
Carol Shelby and and and the nineteen sixties world of that,
and or even a movie like Rush Ron Howard's Rush,
which I think doesn't get enough appreciation. It's based on
the seventies F one competition between Nikki Lauden and James Hunt.
It's not that it's not those movies. I think those
(20:30):
movies are much better. They've also got great racing sequences,
but they also have really terrific stories. But you know,
if you're going just for the fun of it, for
a big summer thing and watching watching race car stuff
on the big screen, then F one the movie, which
is also that's the title, F one the movie, so
you don't get confused with like, you know, F one
the breakfast cereal or something.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Hey, this is a movie you should see in the
theaters because because of the racing sequences.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Exactly, and only because of the racing sequence. The other
sequences all feel very obvious. But because of the sequences, Yeah,
I would absolutely recommend it being.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
And you should.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
Yeah, don't wait for the stream, Yeah, because I think
any in the power of this movie and it's in imax,
you know, if any of the power of this movie
is gonna be is going to be shown on the
big screen, it's really gonna gonna come through. It also
reminds me of like, you know, one of the things
that that I love about racing movies is because it's
sort of like football. A great racing film can really
kind of use the form, can use cinema as a
(21:27):
as almost like it's another driver, which I really like.
And I think that this movie does something that this
A couple of years ago, there's a movie called Grant Tarismo,
which was also based on a true story about this
this guy who's got jan Marlborough I think was his name,
who was an amateur kind of video game player who
was recruited to be a driver. It kind of uses
this thing where there's a you know, you're really getting
(21:49):
uh there's an announcer over the over the action, you're
kind of hearing the voices of the of the commentators,
and it kind of has things, you know, lots of
bells and whistles on the screen, so you know what
who's who's ahead of what, and what turns are coming
up and what drama just happened. And I think that
kind of thing takes away from it. That's the kind
of thing that movies like, you know, back in the sixties,
(22:09):
things like Winning or Grand Prix or Lemon's all these
great movies and One with Steve McQueen, one with James Garner.
Those movies didn't meet They didn't have that, and I
think this movie kind of feels like it's got to
have that. It makes it feel a little like a
video game, which takes away from it in a lot
of ways.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Right I will tell you this, you're batting a thousand
in our house right now. We went to see the
latest Mission Impossible on your suggestion it was. There was
also a power outage when we were looking for air conditioning.
But we did have a movie. We did have movie choices,
and we chose that one because I said, hey, Joe Neumeier,
likes this one. He hasn't led us wrong yet. And
(22:44):
I loved it. And I'm not a big Mission Impossible fan.
It was wonderful. It was really really good.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
I'm so happy to hear that. Larry. Yeah, that last
sequence right on the planes, I mean that could have
gone on another half hour. That was an amazing sequence.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now you do that stunt, and he's proud of the
fact that he does these stunts by himself. And I
saw this one and I thought, Oh, he can't be
doing this. He can't possibly be doing this.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
That's him, that's him, that's him doing it. I mean
it's sort of crazy and and in fact, to kind
of bring it all full circle. The director of this
movie of F one, his name's Joseph Kaczinski. He also
did Maverick, the sequel of The Top Gun, so he
wants to bring Tom Cruise's character from Days of Thunder back.
He's kind of thrown it out there, maybe as a
joke as an F one sequel, but yeah, that's really Cruise,
(23:32):
that's that's you know, he's he's I think he poked
up to something obviously, so that I mean, he's got
a parachute on. So if he falls, he's not going
to die, but that's really him, however, many miles above
the earth kind of acting and as like the the
you know, the gravity forces are whipping his face back.
It's amazing. It's extraordinary to watch him sort of do
that stuff and and cheers toy him. He's gonna get
(23:53):
an honorary Oscar in February or March at the next Oscars.
And you know, Jay solely on the on the way
he's brought back the excitement of live stunts. Good for him, right, amazing, you're.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Right, you're right on that. But it's a shame he
didn't get an acting Oscar. He's nominated four times, but
he should have won for Born on the fourth of July.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Do you agree, totally agree Born in the fourth ly,
or even Jerry maguire Born in the fourth of July
is by far his greatest performance. And that's a phenomenal
Oliver Stone film. I think it's a really terrific film.
But I also think Jerry Maguire, you know, while the
rom con stuff is a little goofy, you know, playing
an actual character who's a person in the world in
(24:33):
the in the present day. And I always say this
about people like Jack Lemon in the apartment or you know,
somebody like Dustin Hoffman who got an oscar for Kramer
versus Kramer playing just a real guy and who he
doesn't have anything going on. There's no trick going on.
He's not, you know, trying to deal with a you know,
a you know, one leg or you know he's got
(24:53):
two heads or something, or there's any cgi or something.
You know, He's an actual character, an actual person in
the world. Playing that kind of guy is really tough,
and he did a great and Jerry Maguire so that's
another either one of those two roles he would have
deserved it.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Our connections getting a little weird here right now. Joe,
I'm gonna say goodbye if that's okay, and we'll talk
to you again next week.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Sound good, Thanks Larry.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Talking about the week, Joe Neumeyer, film journalist, wr movie
Minute host. When we come back, my final thoughts, a
recap of today's show, and the talkback of the morning
and our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back September nineteenth and
twentieth in Las Vegas. Two big nights, one big stage,
live performances by Brian Adams, John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed
(25:37):
Sheer and Maroon five and a whole lot more. Now
it's your chance to buy tickets. You go to AXS
dot com AXS dot com. You gotta get him. Now
it's gonna sell out. Here's Larry Minty with some final thoughts.
So I listened to the speech by Iran Supreme Leader
Homer Ne and he says the fourteen thirty thousand pound
(25:58):
bunker buster Bo dropped on Iran's nuclear sites in his
country didn't affect them at all. Doesn't he sound like
Baghdad Bob, the infamous spokesperson for the Iraqi government who
famously said during the Iraq War on live TV that
US troops have not been able to reach Baghdad and
you could see American tanks were rolling behind him in
(26:20):
the capital city Baghdad. Bob thought he was doing what
was best for his country by lying. The Iranian Supreme
Leader believes that he was doing what was best for
his country by lying. The Democrats like Chuck Schumer who
are lying about the American bombing attacks don't have that excuse.
(26:41):
They are doing it for party over country. They are
doing it for themselves and CNN, as always was Locke's
step with the Democrats and incredibly defending their reporting that
the leaked report that they got from biased, deep sources
with a political agenda in the bowels of the Pentagon
were correct and not cherry picked information that's even worse.
(27:06):
That means you saw the big red stamp of low
confidence and the part where it said it could be
significant damage, but we just couldn't tell with a satellite photo,
and you ignored the truth, making CNN as biased as
the leaker. Do you know that Bagdad Bob, he's still
(27:29):
around and he's apologized for the false information during the
Iraq War. I guess it's not hard to believe that
Bagdad Bob has more integrity than the Democrats or CNN.
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes Fox News legal analyst
Greg Jarrett and Republican New York City mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa.
(27:52):
Plus listen for the keyword after the ten o'clock news,
then head to seven to ten wor dot com for
your chance at a dollars Now. A recap of today's show,
Futurist reporter Kevin Sirelli explained what Iran has been doing
in retaliation to the US airstrikes on their nuclear program.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
What concerns the intelligence community, the military community is that
Lord forbid, there would ever be a cyber nine to
eleven that has not happened. And the United States is
the best innovation, the best technology in the world. But
that said, these d DOS attacks are showing to the
architects of these tech platforms that these hackers have the
(28:34):
ability to penetrate.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Wr and newsmac's host Rob Astorino believes Andrew Cuomo's mayoral
run may be short lived.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
I think the reality and the pressure is going to
be setting in on Cuomo. If you're going to stay on,
you you better run. And he's not a dumb guy.
He knows what the numbers are. He's deflated. I don't
think he sees a path to win anymore. I don't
think his people don't either. So to stay on it
would be to help somebody else loose. It would be
to help ma'm donnie win.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
In some ways, CNN's conservative senior political contributor, Scott Jennings,
is happy that he does not have to deal with
the fallout of what a zorin Mamdanni mayoral win would
look like.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's amazing to me that when you take a candidate
with some of the statements that he's made about all
sorts of topics in a city like New York, I
don't know what you all are going to do. I mean,
I'm happily a resident and citizen of the state of
and Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I don't know what New
York City is going to do if he enacts his plans.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Former member of the New York State Assembly and founder
of Americans Against Anti Semitism, Dove Hikened believes action is
needed to defeat Zorin Mamdani in this mayoral election.
Speaker 14 (29:50):
If every single person, instead of just talking and getting excited,
do something concrete, like make sure everybody's resister the book
Let's work citeously. We have to make sure people come
out to vote in November. We need seventy percent of
the people coming out to vote. If the people come
out to vote, the people Mamdani will lose and it
(30:13):
will not be close.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
And today's talkback winner, who says who's taking home a
MENTI in the morning T shirt agrees Mamdani needs to
be defeated.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
It's a long time until November, and I think that
if the old guard Democrats and Republicans moderates can be
incentivized and awakened to what a Moudanni mayoralty would really
be and get out the vote because New York City
(30:46):
is so apathetic, I think he can be beaten.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Coming up Monday on MENTI in the Morning, North Jersey
dot COM's Mike Kelly, legendary sportscaster Warrawolf and the car
doctor Ron and Ady, and plus tickets to see Jackson Brown.
It's ten o'clock
Happy Friday. Yeah, the weekends here, the heat waves over.
That's the good news. The bad news is we're gonna
have some rain, but it's gonna feel really nice. So
get out when you can in between the rainstorms. But
it's gonna rain off and on during the weekend. It's okay,
it's okay. It's not going to be stifling hot, so
(00:20):
just enjoy what you can. In the Big Three. It's official.
Mayor Adams is running for reelection as an independent, and
he came out swinging with Don Lemon on his podcast
against zorin Mam Donnie.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Do you think he's an anti SEMITI?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I think some of the comments of you know, you
look at some of his rap lyrics where he's talked
about of you know, his embracing of Hamas, that says
a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We have Scott Jennings from CNN coming up in just
a couple of minutes. We're going to talk to him
about zorin Mam Donni. We're also going to talk to
him about his trip to Israel. He got stuck there,
he could get out because the missile strikes that twelve
day war started. So it's going to be fascinating to
talk to him about his experience in Israel. It looks
(01:09):
like Congress will be in session, possibly right through the
fourth of July. President Trump has set a deadline to
get the big, beautiful bill on his desk by the
birthday of Our Nation. Speaker Johnson is still waiting for
the bill from the Senate, and they're going to make
some changes, and they have to look on it and
vote on it again. So he said, please, please, please,
(01:32):
don't change it too much.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
They should keep as close to as possible to the
House product, because it took us, as you all know,
a long time to negotiate the very specific provisions of that.
So the more they deviate from it, the more difficult
the job becomes to get the bill to the President's desk.
And we're trying to do that quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And members of Congress got a briefing from the White
House on the bombing attack on the Iran nuclear program,
and it showed, as Donald Trump said, an obliteration, which
all the Republicans came out and said, yep, yep, if
it was obliterated, the Democrats came out and said, well,
let's wait and see. They just will not give credit
they're not. They're certainly not pro Trump, they're anti Trump.
(02:12):
But in being anti Trump, don't they realize they're being
anti American? It was an obliteration.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Obliterated is a good word for me to use.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I can deal people in South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Nobody is going to work in these three sites anytime soon.
They're not going to get into them anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Their operational capability was obliterated.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
After six weeks, the PDD trial is finally coming to
an end. The jury is finally going to get the
case today as closing arguments are wrapping up prosecution. When yesterday,
defense goes today, they'll get read the instructions.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Then what the question will be that even if the
jurors have some uncertainty about whether the prosecution has proved racketeering,
that the juras will find comes to be repugnant and
they're going to want to hold him accountable.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And just wonderful news out of Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Remember the story we told you about the lifeguard who
was getting on her stand and she was fixing the umbrella,
which for some reason wasn't tied in like it should be,
and a gust of wind took her and then she
was impaled right through her back by the umbrella. Well,
(03:27):
she's in the hospital and she's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was very lucky where it hit me, because it
missed every major blood vessel and nerve.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
It just went through my muscle.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It's amazing that she said, she's lucky. It went right
through her armpit and then out of her back. They
had to cut it at the scene just to transport
her to the hospital. But she's gonna be okay. She says,
she can't wait to get back to work. She's bummed
that she can't go back right now. They told her
it's going to be six weeks and a legendary journalist
(04:00):
has died.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
At any given moment. Life does not seem to have
a purpose. But when you look back, it says if
there were was a wind, that you're back all the time,
or there were hands on your back pushing you forward.
And that happened to me. One door open and I
went through it, and another door opened.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I used to love his commentaries. Bill Moyers was Lyndon
Johnson's press secretary. Before that, he was a Baptist minister
and he worked at CBS, NBC and PBS. He had
a great show called The Moyer Journal on PBS that
I must watch. He died at the age of ninety one,
(04:39):
and just in time. Just getting off a plane, as
Scott Jennings, CNN's conservative senior political contributor and author of
the upcoming book Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald Trump
stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. Scott's so glad
you could join us today. You just got off the plane.
(05:00):
I heard you were in Israel, and I guess you
got caught there during the missile strikes. Please tell us
about that experience.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, thanks for having me. It was quite a journey.
Was in Israel ahead of the war to tour some
of the sites related to October the seventh. It was
my first visit to Israel. And then the night had started.
I was watching Israeli fighter jets go one way and
Irani and missiles go the other way in the sky
right above my head. And so I was there on
(05:30):
lockdown in the country for a few days. I eventually
got out through Jordan and flew back to the United States.
But it was one of the most unique and eye
opening experiences I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Did you spend most of the time in a bombshelter.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, you know the way it works there. Their missile
defense system and their national alert system is quite good,
so when missiles are incoming, they give you these warnings
and it comes in on your phone, and so you
actually have a little bit of warning, so you don't
really just sit in a bomb shelter all day. But
once those sirens start sounding and the air raids sirens
starts sounding, you better get to a safe room because
(06:06):
even though the Miffle defenses and intercepts most of them,
you still have debris fragments falling and a few do
get through. So it's quite a harrowing experience. Of course.
You know, the Israelis deal with this every day. It's
part of their everyday life. And it's honestly why I
think they were justified and going to war with Iran
and these terror proxies.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, we talked to Jordana Miller all the time, who is,
as a matter of fact, almost every day, who is
the ABC correspondent in Jerusalem, and it is amazing to
me how they've normalized this. I mean, it's a shame.
You feel bad, and I'm sure you saw that firsthand.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, it's part of their normal life even before the
war started. The night before, I was at a dinner
and the alerts came in. We were in a hotel.
We all went down to this safe room in the hotel.
We stayed in there eight or nine minutes, and then
it was over. We were given the all clear, and
then we went back to our meals. Our plates were
still on the table, and they like, it's just part
(07:01):
of everyday routine. And you know, it's hard to imagine
living with that, but that's what Israel faces. You know,
they have hoofy rebels firing missiles, They've have Hamas on
their border, they have Hesbola, they have Iran shooting missiles,
and so you know, they live with some bad neighbors.
And I think that's why it's been the excellent that
President Trump has supported them and finally saying enough is enough.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, they have bad neighbors. We have a bad candidate
for mayor. I'm sure you've heard about zorin Mamdanni. He's
become a national star overnight, and I think the Democratic
Party sees him as a new leader. I see him
as something to be very very scared of. Give me
your thoughts on Zorin Mamdani and his success.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, I've certainly read about it, and I spent a
little time in the city now because of my CNN work,
And you know, it's amazing to me that when you
take a candidate with some of the statements that he's
made about all sorts of topics in a city like
New York, I don't know what you all going to do.
I mean, I'm happily a resident and citizen of the
(08:02):
state of and Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I don't know
what New York City is going to do if he
enacts his plans. I mean, I was reading this morning.
He's planning to set taxation rates based on your race,
I mean, for goodness sakes, and so these are these
are wild ideas, and it makes me wonder if people
aren't going to decide we got to get behind somebody else,
like Eric Adams or some other you know, some of
(08:24):
the thing for the fall. We'll see how it works out.
But this is the most extreme radical Democrat who has
been nominated for a major office in the United States
certainly in my lifetime, and it is you all are
on the precipice of a disaster.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Here well, and that he'll be a national leader immediately.
So we're all in the precipice of a disaster because
he's got big followers. Of course, of course Bernie Sanders
and AOC have have jumped on his bandwagon already. But
you talked about all the things he promised. He can't
pay for that. That's all state that has to go
through the Assembly. He's a snake oil salesman, and I'm
(09:00):
I can't believe the New Yorkers will fall for that,
but they have already, and he has a really energized base, Scott,
he has something to worry about nationally as well.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
What I find amazing is that I think there's an
assumption out there outside the city that you know, it's
all these working class you know, people who maybe haven't
done as well that are rallying behind a socialist. No,
if you look at the polling and you look at
the exit stuff from the New York Times, it's these
extremely wealthy.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
White liberal.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
High society types who are supporting his candidacy. I mean,
these are the people who can afford to leave when
he destroys the city.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
But the people who will.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Suffer, they can get away, but it's the working class
who won't be able to leave, and the other ones
are going to suffer the most.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, I think you're right. I think he has energy
right now in a small population that gets out for
the primary. But in a general election he can be beaten. Scott,
We got to go. I need I know, you need
to get to your car. Scott Jennings, Conservative senior political
contributor and author of the upcoming book, which you can
order online right now, Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald
(10:08):
Trump stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. Thank you
so much, Scott, Thanks for the time. You may not
know his name, but you know his music. In fact,
some of you may have heard his work every night.
Well remember music composer Leo Schiffrin who died at fifty
(10:28):
three ninety three. Hey, how are you sorry about that?
I was just listening to something in my ear. Welcome back.
We have to get to your talkbacks. That's the most
important thing that we're going to do right now, because
the competition is on for talkback of the morning. It's
been hot and heavy so far, lots of talkbacks, and
(10:52):
we have four more people to play to choose from
as to who is going to win the highly coveted
Minty in the Morning t shirt.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
It's a long time until November, and I think that
if the old Guard Democrats and Republicans moderates can be
incentivized and awakened to what a Moudonni mayoralty would really
be and get out the vote, because New York City
(11:25):
is so apathetic, I think he can be beaten.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You're absolutely right, get out the vote. We get out
the vote. You have enough people get out and vote
that are saying he is going to be beaten. As
a matter of fact, that that happens, he could be
beaten easily.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I understand Curtis wears the beret for recognition, but he's
got to stop wearing that. He looks like a revolutionary
or socialists himself, or just a weirdo now, So please
tell him to stop wearing it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that. I'll tell you what.
That's part of his his whole personality.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
He's not gonna stop good or bad. He's not gonna
stop wearing that bereat because it's a symbol to him
of law and order. It's a symbol to him of
the Guardian Angels and he's really proud of that. So yeah,
I'm not gonna I am not gonna tell him that.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
I believe the way that Mandani can actually win this
mayoral contest is if he runs on free Larry Minty
T shirts, which will really bring him over the top.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I was pounding the desk. That's such a great idea.
Let's not give it to him, Let's not let's Oh no,
you want to give it to You don't want to
give it to mom Dommy. Right in my mind, you
wanted to give it to mom Domi. But if you
give free Menti in the morning, think about that, how
valuable they are? Does the Assembly have to pass that
(12:52):
before you can give out free Menti in the morning
t shirts?
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Oh, it's gonna be interesting because that's that could just
we're in the whole wave there.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Oh, absolutely, it's it is the way to beat him.
It's definitely the way to beat him.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
This as a reminder, Joe Biden's presidency effectively ended a
year ago tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's right, huge anniversary when this happened.
Speaker 12 (13:15):
Childcare, elder care, Making sure that we continue to supremit
strength in our healthcare system, making sure that we're able
to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've
been able to do with the with the COVID, I
e sculd be with dealing with everything we have to
do with Look if we finally beat medicare.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And I love Trump's line right after that, Yeah, he
beat Medicare. He beat it to death. He picked right
up on that. It was a stark contrast between the
two of them, and it played out and that was
the end of Joe Biden's presidency and candidacy at that
very moment. Thanks a lot for the reminder. Yeah, that
(14:02):
was great. Hey, Lailo Schiffer In it's not a name
you're going to know, but you know his music. He
died on Thursday at the age of ninety three. And
just to give you a little taste, see if you
remember what this is, I think you're going to know
it right away. It is one of the most famous
theme songs in history. Leilo Schifflow's Cool Hand Luke, the
(14:26):
Amityville Horror, the Sting. He's Argentine and he won four Grammys,
He's been up for several Oscars, didn't win, but man,
we just lost a legend. And now now you know
his name. Now let's go to Larry Kowski with the
nine to thirty news. He's filling in for Jacklin Carl today, Larry.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And good morning, Larry. We have sixty six degrees under
Cloudy's guys. Mayor Adams kicking off his bid for reelection
as an independent after Zoran Mandami became the presumptivemocratic nominee
in Tuesday's primary. Speaking yesterday on the steps of City Hall,
Adams criticized Mamdani as having no real political achievements, as
(15:11):
as he boasted of his own accomplishments. Still no official
word from former Governor Andrew Cuomo as to whether he
will mount an independent bid for city Hall. CNN reported
yesterday that Cuomo would stay on the ballot. A New
York Post report on Wednesday said that he would not.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
And there's the.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Opening bell on Wall Street with a higher start for
the market now Industrial is gaining one hundred and twenty
two in the early minutes of trading, the S and
P five hundred, up about twelve, and the Nasdaq up
fifty one. Did you ever take the family on vacation
and by the end you just can't wait to get
back to work? Or new research shows that takes parents
(15:51):
two and a half days to recover after traveling with
the family. The survey was conducted by Talker Research. I
was a parents with kids to rage twelve and about
a fourth say that unlimited screen time is the key
to keeping the peace on a family vacate. One in
ten parents said, wait, it gets better. One in ten
(16:12):
said they take a fake bathroom break just to get
a couple of minutes of peace and quiet.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, I've done that. There's no question, kay, because you're.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Doing that to yourself.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
But you're bringing your kid.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
First of all, you're spending a lot of money. Right,
You're going somewhere.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
You want your kids to see wherever you went, not
the screen and just stay home.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, I don't think it's those moments when you're outside.
I think it's those moments when you have to be
around them for an extended period of time. It's like, Hey,
di's you gonna try this game? Look at this, look
at this video, here and take this. I agree.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
I am big on the need of vacation.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
After a vacation, it's exhausted, especially if you get at
Disney World.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Whatever happened to the license plate game? Right right? We
used to do that.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, that gets exhausting as well. Anyway, Thank you much,
Larry Kovsky. Good to have you here today. Thanks a lot.
The stocks we have, the stocks he did, the stocks.
Oh sorry, you weren't listening. Joe Newmeyer's review of That's One,
starring Brad Pitt. It's supposed to be great and explores
cinema's most iconic race car films. All I can think
(17:16):
of three right off the top of my head. That's next.
Let's get right to Joe Newmeyer, film journalist and wo
R movie minted hosts hy Joe, how are.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
You hey, Larry good We've got a big summer movie
this weekend that's kind of kind of coming into the
finish line, kind of a little bit at the stars.
Have you heard about F one, the movie, the big
Brad Pitt movie that's opening this weekend?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
How could I not? Every time I turn on the
TV there's an ad for it. Yes, I've heard about.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
It, right, I think the Formula one organization file, which
has you know, a stake inside the movie. You know,
they are obviously the driving force behind it, No pun
intended have made sure that right. The airwaves are saturated
with it. Here's The thing about this movie, though, Larry,
I'm giving it three stars, and I like it based
on two things really. One is that Brad Pitt is
(18:04):
sort of one of the last great movie stars, and
I you know, I loved him in Once Upon a
Time in Hollywood. He absolutely deserved that Best Supporting Actor
Oscar for that, and his marquee value raises this movie.
I think I think there was another actor in there.
I think you wouldn't really buy it. The other thing
is that I'm a big fan of racing movies, and
I think this film has got some really terrific racing
sequences in it. It's all about you know, f one. Obviously,
(18:26):
it's got some cliche story stuff going on, but the
racing scenes are really really great. The thing is, though,
is the movie is really cliche on the back of
a serial box and that's you know, that's sort of
something you might kind of expect a little bit, but
at this point, you know, I think we need a
little bit more. It really feels like Days of Thunder,
(18:47):
the Tom Cruise movie from nineteen ninety where the you know,
the bar was really kind of low and it was
sort of a kind of a cliche thing you know
in this movie, obviously, you know, Pitt is the is
the elder driver. He's sort of this over the hill
guys who's racing just he's not racing for the money.
He's doing it just for the fun of it. Essentially,
he had a you know, the story goes that he's
(19:09):
a fictional character of the bank in the nineties. He
had a spin out and he's sort of been recovering
from it for thirty years. An old buddy of his
played by Javier Bardem, who's now a team owner, kind
of recruits him to be a driver on the Formula
One team, and there's a conflict with a younger driver
that he sort of becomes a mentor to. There's a
you know, a sexy engineer and played by Kerry Condon,
(19:32):
who I love.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
She was in Dan.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
She's finished, Sharon. She's really terrific. She's a love interest
for Pitt. All of these things it's like, you know
exactly what's coming, and the way it's sort of done
is it's really basic, it's really rudimentary, but the driving
sequences are terrific.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
There.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
You know a lot of these are what's called practical effects.
They're really done really well. And Pitt really sells it.
You know, he really is a you know, he's one
of our last great movie stars. So based on those things,
I'm giving it a giving it three stars. But if
you go in expecting it to be something like Ford
versus Ferrari, which.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I really like, I Love I Love Me Too.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Which has got a real story and it's based on
you know, obviously, you know, it's based on a real thing,
Carol Shelby and and and the nineteen sixties world of that,
and or even a movie like Rush Ron Howard's Rush,
which I think doesn't get enough appreciation. It's based on
the seventies F one competition between Nikki Lauden and James Hunt.
It's not that it's not those movies. I think those
(20:30):
movies are much better. They've also got great racing sequences,
but they also have really terrific stories. But you know,
if you're going just for the fun of it, for
a big summer thing and watching watching race car stuff
on the big screen, then F one the movie, which
is also that's the title, F one the movie, so
you don't get confused with like, you know, F one
the breakfast cereal or something.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Hey, this is a movie you should see in the
theaters because because of the racing sequences.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Exactly, and only because of the racing sequence. The other
sequences all feel very obvious. But because of the sequences, Yeah,
I would absolutely recommend it being.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
And you should.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
Yeah, don't wait for the stream, Yeah, because I think
any in the power of this movie and it's in imax,
you know, if any of the power of this movie
is gonna be is going to be shown on the
big screen, it's really gonna gonna come through. It also
reminds me of like, you know, one of the things
that that I love about racing movies is because it's
sort of like football. A great racing film can really
kind of use the form, can use cinema as a
(21:27):
as almost like it's another driver, which I really like.
And I think that this movie does something that this
A couple of years ago, there's a movie called Grant Tarismo,
which was also based on a true story about this
this guy who's got jan Marlborough I think was his name,
who was an amateur kind of video game player who
was recruited to be a driver. It kind of uses
this thing where there's a you know, you're really getting
(21:49):
uh there's an announcer over the over the action, you're
kind of hearing the voices of the of the commentators,
and it kind of has things, you know, lots of
bells and whistles on the screen, so you know what
who's who's ahead of what, and what turns are coming
up and what drama just happened. And I think that
kind of thing takes away from it. That's the kind
of thing that movies like, you know, back in the sixties,
(22:09):
things like Winning or Grand Prix or Lemon's all these
great movies and One with Steve McQueen, one with James Garner.
Those movies didn't meet They didn't have that, and I
think this movie kind of feels like it's got to
have that. It makes it feel a little like a
video game, which takes away from it in a lot
of ways.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Right I will tell you this, you're batting a thousand
in our house right now. We went to see the
latest Mission Impossible on your suggestion it was. There was
also a power outage when we were looking for air conditioning.
But we did have a movie. We did have movie choices,
and we chose that one because I said, hey, Joe Neumeier,
likes this one. He hasn't led us wrong yet. And
(22:44):
I loved it. And I'm not a big Mission Impossible fan.
It was wonderful. It was really really good.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
I'm so happy to hear that. Larry. Yeah, that last
sequence right on the planes, I mean that could have
gone on another half hour. That was an amazing sequence.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now you do that stunt, and he's proud of the
fact that he does these stunts by himself. And I
saw this one and I thought, Oh, he can't be
doing this. He can't possibly be doing this.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
That's him, that's him, that's him doing it. I mean
it's sort of crazy and and in fact, to kind
of bring it all full circle. The director of this
movie of F one, his name's Joseph Kaczinski. He also
did Maverick, the sequel of The Top Gun, so he
wants to bring Tom Cruise's character from Days of Thunder back.
He's kind of thrown it out there, maybe as a
joke as an F one sequel, but yeah, that's really Cruise,
(23:32):
that's that's you know, he's he's I think he poked
up to something obviously, so that I mean, he's got
a parachute on. So if he falls, he's not going
to die, but that's really him, however, many miles above
the earth kind of acting and as like the the
you know, the gravity forces are whipping his face back.
It's amazing. It's extraordinary to watch him sort of do
that stuff and and cheers toy him. He's gonna get
(23:53):
an honorary Oscar in February or March at the next Oscars.
And you know, Jay solely on the on the way
he's brought back the excitement of live stunts. Good for him, right, amazing, you're.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Right, you're right on that. But it's a shame he
didn't get an acting Oscar. He's nominated four times, but
he should have won for Born on the fourth of July.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Do you agree, totally agree Born in the fourth ly,
or even Jerry maguire Born in the fourth of July
is by far his greatest performance. And that's a phenomenal
Oliver Stone film. I think it's a really terrific film.
But I also think Jerry Maguire, you know, while the
rom con stuff is a little goofy, you know, playing
an actual character who's a person in the world in
(24:33):
the in the present day. And I always say this
about people like Jack Lemon in the apartment or you know,
somebody like Dustin Hoffman who got an oscar for Kramer
versus Kramer playing just a real guy and who he
doesn't have anything going on. There's no trick going on.
He's not, you know, trying to deal with a you know,
a you know, one leg or you know he's got
(24:53):
two heads or something, or there's any cgi or something.
You know, He's an actual character, an actual person in
the world. Playing that kind of guy is really tough,
and he did a great and Jerry Maguire so that's
another either one of those two roles he would have
deserved it.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Our connections getting a little weird here right now. Joe,
I'm gonna say goodbye if that's okay, and we'll talk
to you again next week.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Sound good, Thanks Larry.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Talking about the week, Joe Neumeyer, film journalist, wr movie
Minute host. When we come back, my final thoughts, a
recap of today's show, and the talkback of the morning
and our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back September nineteenth and
twentieth in Las Vegas. Two big nights, one big stage,
live performances by Brian Adams, John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed
(25:37):
Sheer and Maroon five and a whole lot more. Now
it's your chance to buy tickets. You go to AXS
dot com AXS dot com. You gotta get him. Now
it's gonna sell out. Here's Larry Minty with some final thoughts.
So I listened to the speech by Iran Supreme Leader
Homer Ne and he says the fourteen thirty thousand pound
(25:58):
bunker buster Bo dropped on Iran's nuclear sites in his
country didn't affect them at all. Doesn't he sound like
Baghdad Bob, the infamous spokesperson for the Iraqi government who
famously said during the Iraq War on live TV that
US troops have not been able to reach Baghdad and
you could see American tanks were rolling behind him in
(26:20):
the capital city Baghdad. Bob thought he was doing what
was best for his country by lying. The Iranian Supreme
Leader believes that he was doing what was best for
his country by lying. The Democrats like Chuck Schumer who
are lying about the American bombing attacks don't have that excuse.
(26:41):
They are doing it for party over country. They are
doing it for themselves and CNN, as always was Locke's
step with the Democrats and incredibly defending their reporting that
the leaked report that they got from biased, deep sources
with a political agenda in the bowels of the Pentagon
were correct and not cherry picked information that's even worse.
(27:06):
That means you saw the big red stamp of low
confidence and the part where it said it could be
significant damage, but we just couldn't tell with a satellite photo,
and you ignored the truth, making CNN as biased as
the leaker. Do you know that Bagdad Bob, he's still
(27:29):
around and he's apologized for the false information during the
Iraq War. I guess it's not hard to believe that
Bagdad Bob has more integrity than the Democrats or CNN.
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes Fox News legal analyst
Greg Jarrett and Republican New York City mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa.
(27:52):
Plus listen for the keyword after the ten o'clock news,
then head to seven to ten wor dot com for
your chance at a dollars Now. A recap of today's show,
Futurist reporter Kevin Sirelli explained what Iran has been doing
in retaliation to the US airstrikes on their nuclear program.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
What concerns the intelligence community, the military community is that
Lord forbid, there would ever be a cyber nine to
eleven that has not happened. And the United States is
the best innovation, the best technology in the world. But
that said, these d DOS attacks are showing to the
architects of these tech platforms that these hackers have the
(28:34):
ability to penetrate.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Wr and newsmac's host Rob Astorino believes Andrew Cuomo's mayoral
run may be short lived.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
I think the reality and the pressure is going to
be setting in on Cuomo. If you're going to stay on,
you you better run. And he's not a dumb guy.
He knows what the numbers are. He's deflated. I don't
think he sees a path to win anymore. I don't
think his people don't either. So to stay on it
would be to help somebody else loose. It would be
to help ma'm donnie win.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
In some ways, CNN's conservative senior political contributor, Scott Jennings,
is happy that he does not have to deal with
the fallout of what a zorin Mamdanni mayoral win would
look like.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's amazing to me that when you take a candidate
with some of the statements that he's made about all
sorts of topics in a city like New York, I
don't know what you all are going to do. I mean,
I'm happily a resident and citizen of the state of
and Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I don't know what New
York City is going to do if he enacts his plans.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Former member of the New York State Assembly and founder
of Americans Against Anti Semitism, Dove Hikened believes action is
needed to defeat Zorin Mamdani in this mayoral election.
Speaker 14 (29:50):
If every single person, instead of just talking and getting excited,
do something concrete, like make sure everybody's resister the book
Let's work citeously. We have to make sure people come
out to vote in November. We need seventy percent of
the people coming out to vote. If the people come
out to vote, the people Mamdani will lose and it
(30:13):
will not be close.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
And today's talkback winner, who says who's taking home a
MENTI in the morning T shirt agrees Mamdani needs to
be defeated.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
It's a long time until November, and I think that
if the old guard Democrats and Republicans moderates can be
incentivized and awakened to what a Moudanni mayoralty would really
be and get out the vote because New York City
(30:46):
is so apathetic, I think he can be beaten.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Coming up Monday on MENTI in the Morning, North Jersey
dot COM's Mike Kelly, legendary sportscaster Warrawolf and the car
doctor Ron and Ady, and plus tickets to see Jackson Brown.
It's ten o'clock
