Hour 4: Christmas in NYC

Christmas in NYC.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it seems like most of us it's going to
For most of us, it's going to be rained today.
There's going to be some areas that get snow, including
Natalie Vaka who has already looked at her ring doorbell
and saw snow and it's accumulating.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, a little bit, a little bit, teeny bit.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, but this is just the start, I know. So
you could get a substantial snow.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Don't say that because I don't want to drive home
in that later. So let's hope it's not that bad.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So most areas is not going to be really snowy.
And you live in the north of Jersey almost to
the border of New York, right, yeah, not not too far. Yeah,
And so how far do you drive do you start
seeing the snow, because it's not going to be in
most areas.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh, from the city, yeah, Oh, I'll have to drive
about twenty miles, twenty five miles.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, just one of the know how close it was
going to be. That's what leads off the Big Three.
There is a forecast for snow to the north North Jersey,
up in the Connecticut and in upstate New York. The
rest of us are going to get rain, but the
rain is going to be substantial. I mean, you know,
not flooding rain, but enough rain that's a little bit

(01:12):
more difficult to drive in, So just be careful out there.
Also in the Big Three, the Trump administration admits now
there was a second strike on a Venezuelan boat disabled
in the water.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that
presidentially designated narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting
in accordance with the laws.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Of war, and the Democrats now want an immediate investigation
into this. They're calling it a war crime forgetting past
presidents like Obama that did worse. True that they want
that investigation, but they right also are desperate for an issue.
After the shooting of two National Guard members in the

(01:56):
nation's capital by an Afghan national, there is new focus
on who was allowed into the country after the debacle
of a withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how were they vetted
they knowingly violated law.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
There's a process for this to happen, and it's on
an individualized basis. You don't get to just wave a
wand and say anybody from these countries can come in
here without any vetting.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Ramanula Lachanahwa is accused of murdering twenty year old Sarah
Beckstrom and twenty four year old Andrew Wolf has been
upgraded now from critical to serious condition.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Andrew remains in serious condition. We did have some positive
news that we were told that Andrew was asked if
he could hear the nurse who asked the question to
give a thumbs up, and he did respond.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's just wonderful news. Lawyers for Luigi Mangioni argued in
court that key evidence linking Mangoni to the killing of
Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson should not be used because they
were obtained without a warrant or miranda rights being read.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
It's always an uphill battle anytime that you're trying to
get important evidence suppressed out of any given case.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
The judges understand that for.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
The most part, especially when we're talking about the concerts
that were found in his book bag.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's going to make or break this case. Starbucks baristas
are on strike in Manhattan, and they got some big
name support from Mayor Alexora and Mamdani and Senator Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
The struggle those workers have is that not enough people
know about their fight. Not enough people know what they
are being forced to accept. So the more that you
can bring that awareness, the more that you can bring
that attention, the easier it is for workers to demand
the bare minimum. And that is what I will continue
to do as the next mayor of the city.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Did you hear that he's going to continue walking He's
going to continue walking picket lines throughout the administration. I
wonder how businesses and corporations in the city are feel
about that. And with that, let's get the Rich Lowry,
editor in chief of the National Review, with us every
Tuesday at this time. Rich, I enjoyed your column about

(04:09):
the Republicans having to take on healthcare now because they
made such a big deal during the shutdown of how
Obamacare has failed and that they want to come up
with something new and they got what they wanted. But
now you better watch out for you what you wish for,
because this has been one of those issues that everybody

(04:30):
tries to take on and everybody seems to fail at.

Speaker 8 (04:35):
Yeah, so we'll see so far the same pattern as
folding here, where a week ago Trump was supposed announce
a big Republican alternative and then it got put off
because people didn't like it. So it's a very complex issue.
No matter what you're gonna do, you're gonna upset some people.
And that's why Republicans are just punted now for about
fifteen years straight. And I'm not sure they won't keep
on punting.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, but they can't punt now. I mean, they really said,
they came out very bold lee and said we're going
to come up with a better plan that Obamacare has failed,
and now it's on them. I don't think they've realized
at that point what they were getting into.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
Yeah, well, they've said they're going to come up with
a better alternative for years, so I'd love a better alternative,
but I'm a little skeptical maybe they actually will this time.
The basic approach I would support is you get a
so called high risk pool for people who are already sick,
where they're directly subsidized by the government, rather than being
subsidized by young and healthy people by their insurance premiums

(05:32):
being higher, which is the Obamacare approach. So you take
on directly that expense and then you lower the cost
for everyone else. So, but we'll see whether that's something
they propose or not.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Here's my fear. My fear is they're going to get
down in the weeds on this and they're going to
realize what the Democrats did is what they have to do,
that it has to be heavily subsidized to keep the
prices down, and if they don't keep the prices down,
they're going to get blamed for higher health care prices.
So it is a dead end issue. And I'm not

(06:05):
sure why they wanted to grab this away.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
Well, this is one respect in which the Democrats succeeded
in the shutdown. They didn't get what they wanted. They
want a permanent extension of Obamacare subsidies that Republicans had
never voted for before, even on a temporary basis. But
Democrats did get the issue on to healthcare, which didn't
directly have anything to do with the shutdown, funded the
government from the outset without making healthcare the issue. But

(06:32):
this is the one issue where they really still dominate.
So it was politically shrewd in that respect.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, I don't think they started out planning that, but
you're right that's where it ended up. So we'll give
them credit say it was shrewd, But I'm not sure
this is exactly what they wanted to be here at
this point. But now they can look at them and say,
see if you can do better, and I'm not sure
they can. Let's talk about a couple of other big
stories that are happening right now, including the White House

(06:58):
now admitting there was a second airstrike on a Venezuelan vote,
and what's going to happen since then? The Democrats are
calling it a war crime, and they wanted an investigation.
Where do you where do you see this going? Well,
it's going to continue to be a controversy.

Speaker 8 (07:15):
The administration has reacted pretty defensively, showing that they realized
that this could be bad if the original Washington Post
story was correct, which had Hexseth ordering that everyone get
killed no matter what. And now we have a New
York Times account that contradicts that and says that Hexseth
did not make that order. So I'm just not on

(07:36):
board these drug boat strikes to begin with. I don't
think these drug runners are combatants. They are drug runners.
They should be interducted and apprehended. If they try to
resist in the course of being introducted, sure, light them up.
But I just I think it's a fallacy to pretend
that they're, you know, warriors against the United States.

Speaker 9 (07:57):
They're out.

Speaker 8 (07:57):
They're doing something very bad, something that should be stuck.
But they're not fighters.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
These strikes and the build up of a fleet and
of twenty percent of the Navy right now in the Caribbean,
it's all just there. I don't think he wants to
go into Venezuela. It's all just there to try to
force Maduro out, isn't it correct.

Speaker 8 (08:17):
I think that's the real point of the drug boat
strikes is not necessarily to stop the drugs, although we'd
love to do that, is to scare the heck out
of Madua with these images of the stuff blowing up
and the optimal outcome here, I think Maduro is a disaster.
I think it'd be great if you went. Would be
you force him out through so called course of diplomacy
where you don't actually have to hit Venezuela or take

(08:37):
the risk of a military operation, and he just decides
to leave. And clearly that's what Trump's trying to do,
the leverage him out of there. I don't think he's
getting leveraged out of there, because the history of dictators
leaving is not a happy one. You know, you end
up somewhere in Russia where you don't want to go,
or you end up dead. So I think he's going
to stay unless we hit him, and I kind of
think Trump will.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
One other big story, of course, is the murder of
a twenty year old National Guards member in Washington. Another
National Guards member is in now serious condition. He has
been upgraded, and the reaction of Donald Trump was to
stop amnesty applications across the country until we figure out
who's here. Was he right in doing that?

Speaker 8 (09:19):
Yeah, I think it's appropriate to kick the tires here.
I think it's appropriate these he refers to them as
third world countries. I think what we're really talking about
is the nineteen countries that the administration had already said
our countries quote unquote of concern where you can't properly
vet people because there's no proper record keeping. On the
other side, you don't have functioning governments, and you have

(09:40):
huge problems with visa overstays. So I think it's appropriate
to permanently pause that or pause that, as he said,
and try to get a handle on this. I just
think in general, the immigration system needs to be run
for our interests, not for the interest of immigrants. There
should be some humanitarian element where you're taken in some refugees,
not a lot, because refugees they tend not to do
well here.

Speaker 10 (10:00):
You know, they're very poor.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
They come from a different culture by and large, have
real trouble assimilating. And when you have troubles simulating it,
it creates this a grievance sometimes against our country, you know,
when we haven't done anything wrong, so for let them in.
And I think we need fewer immigrants generally, and more
of an emphasis on skills. I'm not sure whether all
that's going to come from this, but certainly pausing tightening

(10:22):
up makes sense.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Right well said, Thank you. Rich Lowry, editor in chief
of the National Review, with us every Tuesday at nine
oh five. Thanks again, Rich. Thanks to torch pirates. Beware
a new plan could make stealing packages of federal crime.
What it means for your holiday deliveries, we'll explain next.
All right, we're getting close to talk back in the morning,

(10:44):
and then on Friday at the same time we'll do
talk back of the week. So let's go through it.
We talked about communal dining, and most of us here
would not want to take part in communal dining. That's,
you know, eating out with people you don't even know.
But it's a big thing with Gens right now.

Speaker 11 (11:01):
We've had communal dining now for many years in the
Japanese habachi setting with ten people sit at basically one table.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh yeah, like Benny Hannah, I never liked that either
one you had when I was younger. I will tell
you this. When I was younger, I liked to eating
with people I didn't know, So I get why gen
Z likes it. Now, just give me a table for two.
Better yet, I'll just eat inside my house.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
What the hell is this communal dining? What are we
back in grade school? We're in a cafeteria. I'm gonna
start throwing food at each other and making fun of
each other too.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Now, then it would be fun if that were to happen.
I'd be all for communal dining. Could you imagine all
these people, like you know, in middle age or older,
throwing food at each other. That would be a bless.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Just think about this restaurant potential called food fight? Oh perfect, perfect,
and like once you know, once a day you could
go there and have a food fight.

Speaker 12 (12:00):
Good old fashioned food fight.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
You gotta get investors.

Speaker 13 (12:02):
Hey everyone, why are we worried about converting our card
metro cards into omni cards.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
Everything's going to be free in the city soon.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh nothing is for free. Somebody pays for it. Just
ask Bernie Sanders, Larry.

Speaker 14 (12:24):
I'm just wondering why all these New Yorkers like walk
around with their head like, you know, in the sand,
or their eyes closed. Why is Bernie Sanders sniffing around
and hanging around New York City. I think I know why,
But why isn't he like in his own state that

(12:45):
like mismanaged money just as bad as Minnesota. But Bernie
Sanders around here bad news.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh, he's going to be around here a lot. He's
Zorin Mom, Donnie's adopted adopted, adopted grandfather. Let me try
that again, adopted Grandpa. He sees Zurin Mamdanni as the
chosen one. As a matter of fact, I wonder if
AOC is jealous about the attention that Bernie Sanders Uncle

(13:16):
Bernie is giving to the new chosen one, Zurin Mamdanni,
because everybody across the country is talking about this guy,
and now he is rising up quickly in the Democratic
Party because as we all know, they love socialism. How
about this? I love this. I like New Jersey Congressman

(13:39):
Josh Gotdheimer a lot. He's one of the Democrats that
I really like a lot because he's an extremely moderate Democrat.
I will say that also, Uh, you know, I've interviewed
him a lot. He's just fun to be around. He
is a hugger, though, and you know, and I know
you don't like that.

Speaker 10 (13:56):
Heard that.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Not a big hugger, especially with another guy. Just I'm not.
I'm not. I you know, I don't even know what
else to do back. I put my arms around, I
do the pat thing, I do the pat thing. Like
I'm done now, you know, you can let me go now.
But he's come up with a good idea. He's introduced
the Porch Pirates Act. It's aimed at making package theft

(14:18):
a federal crime. Currently, only the Postal Service packages are
federally protected, meaning stealing USPST mail or UPS mail carries
harsher penalties than packages from carriers like FedEx, Amazon or DHL.
So it's anything from the mail is a federal crime.

(14:39):
Anything from UPS, FedEx, Amazon or DHL that is not
a federal crime. Now under this legislation, they would all
be federal crimes.

Speaker 12 (14:48):
It shouldn't matter who delivers your package.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
If you pay for it, you should receive it and
get help when it doesn't arrive and someone because someone
has stolen it.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, have you ever had a package stolen?

Speaker 9 (15:00):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
I have, Well, I mean I've had packages not arrived,
but I don't think they've actually been stolen from my
front porch. But I know people who have. And it's
crazy that it even happens. Now knowing you're going to
be on somebody's ring camera. Everybody has one basically, and.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I see them constantly, Like in the neighborhood sites, I
see them all the time. Everybody has a ring doorbell
of somebody stealing a package from the front. Johnny Olazinski,
just join us. You ever been victimized by a porch
bir ate?

Speaker 12 (15:31):
Actually yes. When I lived in Washington Heights, it was
so bad because people would break the front door. This
is for anyone that lives outside the city. This is
a great advertisement for it. People would steal our packages
so much that a little old lady who lived in
my building on the fifth floor would hoard them like
she was the unofficial mail room, right and then deliver them.
And I loved getting a knock on the door from

(15:51):
Tatsi with your packages, you know, like she was ups
or something.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
That's great.

Speaker 12 (15:56):
Good for her, But she shouldn't have had to do that. No,
she should not, but very kind.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's amazing though. And her name's Tati. Yeah that's like
a what a wonderful woman.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
But I mean it's seriously, how does this even happen
in this day and age with the surveillance people have
in their neighborhoods. Because I know when something there's been
an incident, everybody, you know, there's ring cameras come out.
People could get license plates from them and they get
away with it.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I know it's a shame. You'll get away with it
at my house because I never remember what I ordered,
So if there was a porch pirate at my place,
I would never know it. I never know I missed it.
I guess I didn't order that. Now, let's get the
news at nine point thirty with Jacqueline Carl.

Speaker 13 (16:39):
Jacklin Larry, the second National Guard member shot near the
White House last week, is making progress. Staff Sergeant Andrew
Wolf is now out of a medically induced coma. The
suspect in the shooting is an Afgham national who worked
with US forces in Afghanistan. He was injured in the
incident and remains hospitalized. Facing first degree murder and other
related charges for the death of Wolfe's colleague, Army specialist

(17:02):
Sarah Bestrom, and accused killer Luigi Mangioni will be back
in court today as his attorneys look to potentially suppress
evidence in his case.

Speaker 15 (17:11):
During monday's hearing in a New York City court room,
prosecutors played the nine one one call that led to
Mangioni's arrest in Pennsylvania. In the call, and unidentified McDonald's
manager tells the nine one one dispatcher that some customers
at his restaurant believe they've spotted the CEO shooter from
New York. The female manager is heard saying she's uneasy
to approach mangione and the dispatcher tells her that an

(17:32):
officer is on the way. Mangioni's lawyers are trying to
get certain evidence toss in.

Speaker 12 (17:36):
The States case against him.

Speaker 15 (17:37):
He's accused of assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last
December outside Manhattan hotel. The hearings are expected to take
up much of the week. Natalie mcgliori wo our News.

Speaker 13 (17:49):
So we've all been there, forgotten a password and it's
usually a pain in the neck, but this guy takes
it to the next level. According to Oddity Central, get
this combination, it's one person, a magician and scientist from
Missouri named Zi tang Wang, is locked out of the
RFID chip he had implanted in his palm years ago

(18:12):
because he forgot the password. What just cause you and
RFID chip is a tiny chip that soares information which
can be scanned. Now, at some point he linked the
chip to a bitcoin address and a meme on the
website imjer and then forgot about it. Then when imre
that's a website where you can share images. When imjure

(18:33):
link recently came back online, he tried to reprogram the chip,
but realized he couldn't remember the password. Dude, you implant
a chip in your hand, that's something you want to
write down maybe with the other hand. Wouldn't you think
that scientists in him would write that down? I mean,
you've all forgotten passwords, right, but aren't we getting better
at like figuring out ways not to.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
You know what's horrible about passwords? Now they're all saved
in your phone, right so, or they're all saved in
your computer. If your computer goes down, or if you
have a major problem with your computer, all those passwords
are lost and now you don't know how to get
into them anymore.

Speaker 13 (19:09):
No, because it's it's in your phone on the in
the cloud. Well, the other day I had this moment.
This was definitely my senior moment. It happened.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I was sitting there on my phone, and you know,
every once in a while, you have to put in
your instead of the fingerprint on your facey, do you
have to put in your I totally forgot the password
of my phone.

Speaker 12 (19:29):
I sat there, I'm like, oh, I can't my phone.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
I was like, I wasn't gonna admit it, and I'm like,
try every single combination. I'm like, oh my goodness, Oh
my goodness, I just said it.

Speaker 10 (19:39):
Out loud in the house.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm like, I can't remember the password of my phone,
and everybody screamed it out in the house.

Speaker 13 (19:47):
Well, thank god, you know, yeah, yeah, I will tell you, Jacqueline,
you said no, but I just switched phones with my
son and everything's supposed to be on the cloud.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
There's a lot of sights I can't get into because
the words not there.

Speaker 13 (20:01):
And we know what's for Christmas that say me. I
got my mother a book to write words down, and
she said it.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Has saved her life so many times.

Speaker 12 (20:10):
I don't have one, but she has one. Set over
to Wall Street the opening bell.

Speaker 13 (20:16):
The DAL opened up one hundred and thirty three points,
SMP opened up twenty two points, and the NASDAC opened
up one hundred and eighteen points.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Thanks so much, Jack Lincrlo Hal's Timothy shallow May's new movie.
Is Matt Lower planning a comeback? And what does one
New York Post columnist think about Christmas in New York.
We're going to ask Johnny Olegzinski next. I love hearing
that commercial about iHeartRadio and all the Christmas music, the

(20:44):
country Christmas music. It is just happier everywhere. It's the
happiest time on earth is Christmas time. And nowhere is
better to celebrate Christmas than in New York. Let's let's
talk to a New Yorker about that. Johnny Oleazinski, New
York Post entertainment critic with us every Tuesday. At this time,

(21:05):
there is no better time in New York. People come
to New York to celebrate Christmas.

Speaker 12 (21:11):
I'm very surprised at you, Larry, for spouting all this
fake news, fake news everything you just said does. Depression
goes up at Christmas time, stress goes up. There's study
after study. But I happen to have strong feelings about this.
I wrote a column in Sunday's New York Post about
why Christmas in New York is hell on Earth. It's
the worst place to be anywhere on the planet. You

(21:35):
got that ice rink is often ranked as the most
crowded and stressful tourist attraction on the planet. We have
a big, big planet, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. You wait
all day, you shove you elbow, only to get there
for you know, like just a fine piece of pine.

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (21:53):
You take your Instagram and you go home. And I said,
all these Christmas movies are lives that make it seem
magic home alone to just a bunch of lies. And
this turned out to be a controversial take.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
I couldn't believe, Oh, get out of here. You knew
what you were doing. Were you trolling a little bit?

Speaker 9 (22:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I think you truly believe all this.

Speaker 12 (22:15):
One of the greatest things about living in the greatest
city in the world is we can say it's a great,
big pain in the butt. We New Yorkers complain about
New York all the time. It's our right to do.
You know, once you change your your addresser, you're born here.
You can complain about New York all you want. But
you know so today in the New York Post on
the editorial pages there's the Letters to the Editor and

(22:37):
the headline is Christmas in the Apple jollier than Johnny says. Okay, okay,
but look at all the respect the readers and listeners
have for me. One Alice said, it looks like Johnny
Olegsinski swallowed some grinch pills before he wrote his ba
humbug article in the New York Post. Okay, thank you, Alice.

(23:02):
Another one said Oleaksinsky needs a visit from the ghost
of Christmas past. What is the purpose of dragging down
the city that gives you a living? Because I'm an
honest writer who just likes to air his grievances for readers.
Another one said, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny like I'm their kid brother.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Never a good star.

Speaker 12 (23:22):
Johnny Johnny. If you can't find and if you can't
find joy in New York City at Christmas time, it's
time for you to take up golf and move to Florida.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh that fun for you.

Speaker 12 (23:34):
And that's from Carol, who rightly assumed I do not
play golf.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
See, there's worse things. You're gonna be in Florida playing golf.
That would be hell. This is the best time in
New York. Absolutely, if you've been outside and walk around,
people are smiling that you don't see that all the time.
But we have to.

Speaker 12 (23:55):
So Keith from Huntington agreed with me. We love Keith,
he said. Oleksinsky review of Midtown at Christmas couldn't be
more spot on, and he said since moving to Long Island,
I have yet to visit the city. I have no
reason to. It has become an ugly place at Christmas
or any other time of the year.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, that he's not exactly agreeing with you. He's saying
it's always a hell hole, That's what he's saying. Are
you agreeing with him? Uh?

Speaker 12 (24:19):
Sure, have you been outside?

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 12 (24:22):
It's just gonna get worse under mom, Donnie.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
You can move you don't have to live here.

Speaker 12 (24:28):
Look, find me another city that's great for a movie
critic to live in. I can't very well move to
Des Moines.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, Jersey City, you can move across over to Jersey.
You seem like a Jersey person, do.

Speaker 12 (24:41):
I I'm not sure. I'm not sure what's.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Meant by that. No, you'd fit right in your Jersey
city'd be perfect for you. You hate the city so much,
you should move out.

Speaker 12 (24:51):
I still stand by my point. The part of living,
part of loving something is complaining about it. And I
always say you, I can complain about my sister. You can't,
but I can.

Speaker 11 (25:02):
So.

Speaker 12 (25:02):
I feel like I have every right to complain about
New York and it's problems. How else do we fix them?
I say this all the time. I don't want to
be raw raw when there's problems that need to be addressed.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, I'm taking this too far. There are some things
you love about New York, right you don't find Yeah,
exact things.

Speaker 12 (25:18):
Yes, it's culturally the greatest city on the planet.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
There you go, That's all you had to say.

Speaker 12 (25:22):
But to get to that culture, you need to walk outside.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
No. Stop. You were doing so well, you were doing.

Speaker 12 (25:30):
Around people once you're indoors. New York's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Let's talk about something else. Sell about Timothy Shalla May
in Marty Supreme? Is it any good?

Speaker 12 (25:39):
Oh my god? It's my favorite movie of the year,
really favorite movie of the year. Four stars from me,
four out of four. And I really liked him. It's
been really great watching him grow as an actor. But
he's in this new movie's I've done himself. It's called
Marty Supreme. And what In Marty Supreme? He plays a
nineteen fifties ping pong champion who's you know when ping

(26:00):
is totally unpopular as it still is, and he's trying
to become the greatest ping pong player in the world.
So then it becomes a kind of catch me if
you can movie where he's kind of lying and sneaking
and coursing to get money to help his dream of
being a ping pong champ come through. So it's a
bit of a sports movie but really kind of a hilarious,

(26:21):
very stressful romp. It's a great, great movie. I was
kind of glued to it for the whole two and
a half hours.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
He's a great actor. He's a wonderful actor. I love
him in everything he's in. Will this get in the Oscar?

Speaker 12 (26:33):
I think so it's right now it's a three way race,
and this stuff can all change. There's Timothy who's now
lost twice, but he'd still be the just about the
youngest to win if you wanted. He'd be tied with
Adrian Brody that win bag. And then there's a Leonardo
DiCaprio in one battle after another. I don't think that
role is meadia enough for him to win, and you

(26:54):
can't just give it to him because you know all
we like you. And then the third is Ethan Hawk
and Blue Moon. It was absolutely excellent, So I think
it could come down more to Ethan versus Timothy. If
Ethan's nominated.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
And that's nobody else, there's not only a movie coming
out that might be able to compete.

Speaker 12 (27:11):
No, I don't think Jack Black's gonna get it for Anaconda,
but if he's good, if he's good, then sure.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
I think he's damn good in Anaconda. Next time you're hear,
we'll talk about Matt Lower and his supposed comeback. Can
you give me like a three word answer on how
he's doing.

Speaker 12 (27:27):
Apparently that guy thinks he can come right back to
the media after eight years away like nothing ever happened.
That's like according to People magazine.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Oh well, okay, yeah, I definitely want to talk about
that next time. Jenny Olazinski, New York Post entertainment critic
with us every Tuesday at nine thirty five. Thanks a lot, Johnny.
When we come back, my final thoughts, a recap of
today's show and the talk back of the morning, and
now I get a chance to talk about the sea
Crane radio and the best of the sea crane radio products,

(27:56):
the CC Radio three. It's the almost everything radio because
it has the addition of Bluetooth. Now you have an
immense powet of radio shows and podcasts available from any
smartphone or speaker. The CC Radio three has great reception
for long range AMFM stations along with emergency capabilities. These

(28:19):
seacrane radios are essential in an emergency. You get Noah
Weather and a two meter handband to find out what
is going on because reliable communication and staying connected is
essential during unforeseen events. Now, if you listen primarily for
audio content like my show, the CC Radio three is

(28:41):
worth the price alone. Audio quality for the spoken word
sounds like I'm sitting right there in the room with you.
Separate base and treble controls can be adjusted for the
perfect pitch. It runs on the included power cord, or
you get a set of batteries for over one hundred
and seventy hours in case there's an emergency to order
that cc radio three called SCRANE at eight hundred five

(29:03):
two two eight eight sixty three. Once again, that's eight
hundred five two two eight eight sixty three, or visit
them online at ccrane dot com, that cc R a
n dot com. It's also available on Amazon. As we
wind up another minty in the morning on WR, let's
get some final thoughts from Larry. I want to make

(29:25):
a plea to the mainstream media. Can you please stop
playing a role in the democrats theater of the absurd?
Come on, reporters, you're smart enough to realize that every
leak is suspect, every leak has an agenda, every leak
needs scrutiny and substantiation. But there is something about Donald

(29:50):
Trump that makes leftist reporters throw away all journalistic ethics
and standards and just go with it. Point Kate Rodgers
from The New York Times. Her latest journalistic atrocity is
a story titled Shorter Days Signs of Fatigue Trump faces
realities of aging in office. On its face, the story

(30:15):
is absurd. Sure Donald Trump gets tired, we all do.
Sure he has down days, we all do. But to
insinuate that he's lost a step is absurd since he
seems to work around the clock. Hell, he's posting on
truth Social after midnight after working all day up early,

(30:37):
and is seemingly dealing with a few dozen issues every day,
has a few dozen meetings every day. And you know
how I know, because he's constantly available to the press
and answering questions all day long. But you know there's
another agenda here. Karen Rodgers covered for Joe Biden when

(31:01):
he was president for three and a half years, fighting
off all who would dare say that he was losing
his step as he tripped up an airplane, wandered off
in a field in France and constantly forgot what he
was saying and then ended the sentence with anyway. That's
why the White House has unveiled a brand new website

(31:23):
for fake news, specifically for people like Katie Rogers. It's
white House dot gov slash media bias. It does a
great job of exposing lies. And you know what the
great thing is, they're never going to be wanting for content.

(31:45):
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes streaming hosts Bill O'Reilly
and political strategist Ed Rollins, and now a recap of
today's show. Former New York City Council minority leader Joe
Borelli believes Zorin Mom Danni is in for a rude
awakening when he has to pay his city workers following
his appearance at a Starbucks protest.

Speaker 7 (32:08):
Let's see what he does when he has to figure
out actually how to pay people with the revenues he's given.
I don't think he's ever balanced a checkbook. I don't
think he's ever balanced a piggy bank. I think he
probably didn't even do well on sim City when he
was twelve years old and how to manage his city resources.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
W or White House correspondent John Decker says that despite optimism,
a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine remains unlikely.
Thanks to Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 9 (32:37):
We've seen some sort of shuttle diplomacy, you may recall
a few months ago as well, involving Ukrainian and Russian officials.

Speaker 10 (32:43):
But that really didn't go anywhere.

Speaker 9 (32:45):
Perhaps this could be a pathway, an exit ram, so
to speak, for Putin, to end the war. That's what
President Trump is hoping for. But as you know, Larry
Putin has shown no desire, no initiative to end the war.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Wl R weeknight host Jimmy Fayala thinks the voters of
New York City may have gotten scammed in this mayor
ol choice.

Speaker 10 (33:07):
We elected a sidewalk Santa. Who's out there in July.
You know, when you see a sidewalk Stan in December,
you go, yeah, I'm gonna give money. This's a Salvation Army.
This is a legitimately good organization. But if somebody's out
there in July, you're like, hey, wait a minute, this
might be a bit of a racket. And that's what
we did. We have a July sidewalk Santa in the
mega's office.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
And the talk back of the Morning and winter of
the mentee in the Morning T Shirt seemed really interested
in participating in the new trend of communal dining tables
at restaurants.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
What the hell is this communal dining? What are we
back in grade school? We're in a cafeteria. We're gonna
start throwing food at each other and making fun of
each other too.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
