Hour 4: Golden Globe Nominations

Golden Globe Nominations.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You haven't left the house yet. It's cold out there.
Dress warmly. Thanks so much for being with us today.
Really appreciate it. When you tune in, get your talkbacks in.
We're going to be given away the talk back of
the morning coming up at the end of this hour.
In the Big Three. NASA County executive Bruce Blakeman just
won re election and today he's announced that he is

(00:23):
running to be the Republican nominee to take on Kathy
Hokeel in the fall. First he has to get by
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who was already in the race.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We don't have coronations in our party. We're not like
the Democratic Party that had a coronation for Kamala Harris.
How did that work out for the Democrats? Competition is
a good thing.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Well, after waffling on the issue, the Socialist finally has
decided he's going to live in a mansion. After all,
you know what, he grew up in a mansion. Have
you seen his house in Uganda that he grew up
in in a lake. It's much bigger than Gracy mansion.
But he's now going to live in Gracy mansion because

(01:06):
he said he has to for security reasons.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
I get throughouts all my life.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
It makes sense that he's moving to where all the
mayors live historically, but I don't doubt where his loyalties life.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Alina Haba has resigned as US Attorney in New Jersey
after an appellate court ruled she was disqualified for the role.
This all started when New Jersey's two Democratic senators withheld
their approval with something called the blue slip process. You've
got a blue slip thing. That's horrible. It's a horrible thing.

(01:39):
It makes it impossible to appoint the judge or US attorney,
and it's a shame. And the Republicans should be ashamed
of themselves that they allowed us to go on because
I can't appoint a US attorney that's not a Democrat.
This blue slip thing is the most bizarre thing in
the world. As a matter of fact, I'm going to
bring it up with Rich Lowry in a cup of minutes.

(02:00):
This blue slip thing, I'm not even sure where it started.
It's not in legislation. It is just a courtesy given
to the senators and states. So if they don't like
a judge that's coming into their state, or they don't
like a US attorney being nominated for their state. They
can just announce their disapproval the way that Corey Booker

(02:21):
did and Andy Kim did, and they're dead. That's it.
The nomination goes away. That's what started this whole debacle
in Congress. If they don't act to fix the healthcare system.
Now that the Affordable Care Act is set to expire
state healthcare systems New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York, the

(02:42):
patients are going to feel the effects.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Any effects of increasing insurance premiums and so forth not
only have a profound effect on patients itself, it's also
the healthcare system and also the healthcare workers itself.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
And how about this, he's always fun to watch because
she's crazy. Jasmine Crockett thinks she's so popular right now
that she's going to run for Senate, trying to unseat
very powerful Texas Senator John Cronin. There are a lot
of people to say, you got to stay in the house.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
We need our voice, we need you there, and I understand, but.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
What we need is for me to have a bigger voice.
And the only reason she's running is because remember that
redistricting thing that happened in Texas well. Her district has
been part of that. It's being redistrict where she probably
was not going to want written reelection. So why not
run for Senate even though it's against John Cronin and

(03:44):
you're probably gonna get slaughtered. Now, let's talk to Rich Lowry,
editor in chief of the National Review. He's with us
every Tuesday at this time. Before we talk about the
gas powered cars. Rich, which is what I want to
get into because I loved your coble about that. Talk
about this blue slip process.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Well, traditional prerogative home state senators to object to nominees
that will serve in their states.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
So just another way that the US Senate.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Is very easy to bollocks up and obstruct things of
its very nature. This is the way the Senate is
meant to work. Can be highly frustrating every incumbent president
whose nominating people hate this, Senators love it. It seems
unlikely it's going to go away, but I understand why
Trump's in baying against it.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah. I looked it up because I thought to myself, well,
this must be a legislative. It must be somewhere in
the code. They must have been passed a long time ago,
and they can't get rid of it. It's just a courtesy.
They could get rid of this tomorrow if they wanted.
But you're saying both sides like it too much.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, if you're a senator, you know, a Republican centater
right now, it frustrates you greatly. But if a Democrat
wins in twenty twenty eight, you're really going to like it.
So I think secret vote everyone would support it in
the Senate, and it's custom It's very customary and traditional body. Again,

(05:16):
this is its constitutional role, whether these particular practices are
outlined in the Constitution or not, to make it hard
to do things and to operate on the basis of consensus.
So it's always extremely frustrating to the majority and the
incumbent president.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
It just seems it seems ridiculous, to tell you the truth,
it really does. I understand why the senators in those
states might like it in an individual state, if you
have a nominee that you don't like, but if the
majority wants that, the majority gets it. I don't get
this at all, especially because you can get rid of
it so easily you don't even have to. You can
just say it's gone, and it's gone tomorrow. I don't

(05:54):
get it. I agree with Donald Trump on this. Let's
talk about a gasoline price and gas powered cars, because
I don't think people realize how much more gas costs costs,
not only because of taxes that's why it varies from
state to state, but because of some decisions made by presidents,

(06:15):
specifically the Biden administration in this case, in his assault
on gas powered cars. And that's going to end. And
you applaud Donald Trump for this, right.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, this is this is tremendous. So Biden wanted to
basically phase out gas powered cars. They'd always deny it,
but they were going to make it extremely harsh for
people to produce and buy gas powered cars. They just
wanted a couple of years from now the US fleet
to be two thirds electric.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
At the moment it's two percent electric.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
So you can't do this without forcing massive changes down
people's throats. Now, some people like electric cars. They found
a niche there. You know, if you're white male with
who's assalent and already has a car and live in
a progressive area era, you're very did in an electric car.
But that's a small segment of the market. It'll grow

(07:05):
over time, I believe is they get even better, and
they've made leaps and bounds to this point. But people
like hybrids are especially gas powered cars, So consumer preference
and economic sense that should drive this process, and that's
what Trump is returning to and we should salute them
for it.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Now the steps that he's taken, and he's taken several
steps when it comes to the way cars are manufactured,
the way gas is processed, all of that. Will that
bring the price of cars down, and will it bring
the gas prices down?

Speaker 4 (07:34):
It'll bring the price of cars, gas powered cars down
over time. It's some marginally amount and marginal amount. It'll
also one of the perversities that he's so called cafe
regulations which are talking about, which is my lige requirements
on an automaker's fleet, is that the way they worked,
they tilted in favor of really big, heavy cars, so

(07:57):
people like SUVs. But this also accelerated that trend, so
small cost effective cars were perversely harder to take. So
maybe that you have cost effect of small small trucks
things that you know, cost twenty thousand dollars serving that
part of the market. But still I think people like
big cars. I'm not sure how much of a difference

(08:18):
is going to make on cost at the end of
the day, but this was Ford, I think was losing
four or five billion dollars a year on electric cars
because they're expensive to make and no one wanted to
buy them.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Let's talk about this scandal in Minnesota a little bit,
because I'm fascinated by the way the media is talking
about it as they're trying to seemingly downplay it for
some reason. And I think I agree with the President
when he said this may be the biggest state scandal
ever billions of dollars. It's one billion. Now they're saying

(08:49):
it could go as high as two billion dollars. What's
fascinating to me is Tim Walls and how he heard
about it. There were all these whistleblows and he just
wanted to be vice president. It sounds is he I
know he's culpable, but is he liable to any charges.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
I don't know whether it being bad governors a crime.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
If it is, he's guilty, yeah, but look they look
the other way in part for woke a quote unquote
anti racist reasons. The first element this fraud had to
do with a food program, and all of a sudden,
this charity called Feeding the Future has all these new
feeding sites all around the state, and so people are like,
wait a.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
Minute, this doesn't make sense. We've never seen anything like
this before. Let's investigate and kick the tires.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
And the organization came back to don't do that, because
you know what you'd be if you did that racist,
And there was a report by the Auditor of the
Legislature saying this threat really affected how they handled the suspicions.
So this ran longer and probably got bigger than it
would have been if they hadn't been.

Speaker 7 (09:57):
Politically correct about it.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
So it's just going Tevin Buran's coming in this country
out of the goodness of our heart.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Right, we have nothing to do with Samaliah. There's no
reason for us to let in Samali's. We did it
out of.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
The best intentions and have dozens and dozens of them
ripping us off, in the taxpayers of Minnesota off, and
we're still being told even if you focus on it now,
you're racist.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, it's still happening. I just watched an interview with
Ilhan Omar. She brought that up as well that it's
racist that they're even looking into this. I'm dying to
see Rich how she may be involved in this. Rich Lowry,
editor in chief of the National Review, with us every
Tuesday at this time at nine oh five. Thanks a lot, Rich,
good talking to you. Thanks for having me guess what

(10:40):
section of the country is home to the most only
fans subscribers. I'll give you a hint. It's in our area.
We'll tell you where those adult content lovers are next. Well,
welcome back, Thanks so much for all of you that
are bidding to come here in our Hunger on telethon.

(11:01):
You're doing great. Thank you so much for wanting to
be on the show and the sitting here and talk
about whatever you want right now. What are we up to, Natalie?
Seven hundred, seven hundred, respectable seven hundred dollars, But you
know why hunger deserves more. Okay, So you have up
until two o'clock today to bid. And here's the thing.

(11:26):
Despite being a somewhat lower level than last year, inflation
continues to bring some of the highest food prices we
have ever seen in this area. More people right now
in New York have gone hungry than ever before, so
that's why they do Hunger Thon every year. That's why
war is a part of this, to raise money to

(11:47):
feed the millions struggling. Now with hunger, we've got a
number of rare auctions at the site, not just being
part of the show, and you should check it out
at hungerthon dot org, slash iHeart meet and greets. You
can promote your business if you come in here, take
pictures with me. Oh there you go. There's a that's
something that people want to take pictures with me and

(12:08):
get a tour of our wor newsroom. Please make a
bid right now. Again, you've been doing great since we've
been talking about this morning. This morning, we're up to
seven hundred hours. We could do a little bit better
for y hunger and hunger Thon again, it's hunger thon
dot org, slash iHeart. Our current bid seven hundred bucks.

(12:30):
You can do just a little bit better. This is
a strange turn now from that to this. I wasn't
thinking when we put these two together. But there's a
lot of people that are giving money and we have
a better cause than this. A lot of people that
are giving money in our area to only fans as

(12:52):
a matter of fact, our area is one of the
tops in the world in the world for only fans.
If you put Long Island together along with Brooklyn and Queens.
There's more people here to go that go to only
fans than most countries in the world. Oh, something to

(13:13):
be proud of. So the most subscribers, yes, and that
take part in it and spend money. Yeah, that you
know there's you subscribe, not that I go to only fans,
but you can subscribe and then give more money while
you're there. So here's some of the Actually, let me
do this first for Jody Goldberg, who is over on
Fox New York, talked about it on the air during

(13:36):
her podcast.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Sofa County residents spent more than twelve point five million
dollars total so far this year. Mind you, it's only December.
We're about in the second week of December. While dirty minded,
I guess according to you know this article, Nasau County
residence have spent nine million dollars and so I mean
that's that's a lot. That's a lot of feet, that's

(13:57):
a lot of very X rated video and just say,
guess about anything else that they're into out here.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Boy, So if you take Queens Brooklyn, Suffolk County and
Nasa County. We are talking about eighty seven million dollars
this year and seven million people.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Wow, and we only have a seven hundred dollars bid
on an incredible craus like why hunger Come on, guys,
take a little bit of your only fans money and
put it into something good.

Speaker 9 (14:29):
What are you doing?

Speaker 6 (14:32):
Really amazing though when you think about how much money
that is, like what they could be doing, what people
could do with that money.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, and they've decided this is the best way they
could possibly spend that money. There's some lonely people.

Speaker 8 (14:46):
Out there, I know, but there's there's better there.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
But no judgment.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean, you do what you want. Well that's well,
wait a second, you can take just ten percent of
your only fan money. That's right, ten Take ten percent
of that money that you would normally spend an only
fan and go ahead and go to the hungerth On site.
I can't believe, and Natalie did this, not me. I
can't believe we tied Hungerthon to OnlyFans. But we're there now,

(15:14):
we are.

Speaker 10 (15:15):
I'm sorry he was there now.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
We're so glad to me.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
I'm sitting here staring at the bids.

Speaker 11 (15:21):
I'm like, oh, I.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Know, seven hundred dollars.

Speaker 11 (15:23):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 8 (15:24):
Money for people to spend, and I get it, but
this is such a good cause. And then people are,
you know, lovely that.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
Was ingenious to tie them together, really.

Speaker 8 (15:33):
Nobly inappropriate, But I'm sorry, it was just right out
there for me.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
It couldn't help it. Yeah, you were you were a guest,
you were upset, you were going, how can you spend
the money on only fans? And then there's people that
will call and say, let me tell you why. I'll
tell you why I spend all that money and only fans.
If you, by the way, love to go to only fans,
leave us a talk back. We want to hear exactly

(15:59):
exactly what the attraction is, exactly that you'd spend that
much money, and then explain to us why won't you
take a little bit of that money and give it
to the tithe it like your salary exactly, just just
a small percentage of it. Hungerthon dot org slash iHeart

(16:19):
hungerthon dot org slash iHeart that was genius, Natalie. It
was tying it to only fans. We want that only
fans money. Now, let's go to Jacqueline Carl with the
nine to thirty News.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Jacqueline Larry NASA County executive Bruce Blakeman is officially running
for governor next year. He released a video this morning
that describes the Republican as quote a strong leader with
a proven track record of delivering the change we need
to put New York first. This sets up a primary
between Blakeman and upstate New York congresswoman Atleasta Phonic Now.
Staphonics campaign released a statement blasting Blakeman by saying, after

(16:56):
a career of colluding with elected Democrats, Blakeman song is
choosing to prop up Kathy Hochel. Hockel says if there's
a Republican primary, it makes it much more entertaining for
her and accused United Healthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangioni will
be back in the Manhattan court today as a multi
day pre trial evidence suppression hearing continues.

Speaker 12 (17:17):
Mangioni's defense lawyers a arguetting court on Monday that police
in Pennsylvania made up a story about a possible bomb
as a reason to search Luigi Mangione's backpack without a warrant.
Inside that backpack, prosecutor say there were several notes of journal,
a knife, credit cards, a passport, and the alleged gun
used to kill CEO Brian Thompson. Mangoni's defense is trying

(17:37):
to get that evidence tossed from the case because his
lawyers argue Mangoni's rights were violated when he was arrested
in Altoona, PA a year ago. I'm Scott Pringle wrdwes
So cities.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
In Finland have gotten really creative when it comes to
staying warm. According to La Pass, Finland is using heat
from data centers to warm homes and buildings In cities
like Amina. The heat produced by Google's data center, which
would have gone to waste, is being sent to local
buildings through district heating networks. The system could meet up

(18:11):
to eighty percent of the area's heating.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Me.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
Wow, isn't that clever though? I wonder though if they're
still charging people for it.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Oh. Absolutely, they have.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
To write otherwise they wouldn't even let them know they.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Could do that. Yeah, no, absolutely. Cynically it is no,
you're but you're right, You're right. It would have gone
to waste.

Speaker 11 (18:28):
Why not just heat the homes. But nope, I don't
think they.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Would do it for free. No, I don't think so either.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
Speaking of money, Oh, you want some money, I'll give
you some money.

Speaker 9 (18:37):
All right.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
We're heading over to Wall Street at the opening bell,
and I don't have that much money for The Dow
opened up seventy points, The S and P opened down
three points in the Nasdaq opened down seventy five points.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Thanks so much, jacquelinkar Old. Johnny Oleczinski is here with
a brand new haircut. Golden Globe nominations are out, but
they are drifting even further from what people actually watch.
We're gonna talk with New York Post entertainment critic, the
newly cooffed Johnny Olaczinsky. Next, Donny Alaczensky from the New

(19:11):
York Post. The entertainment critic is with us every Tuesday
at this time, and he's sitting here in the studio. Now,
you know, I used to love the Golden Globes, and
I used to love their nominations because they were so
different than anybody else's. They actually were more mainstream than
everybody else's because they were just like guys that happened
to be from Poland. That owned a car wash, you know,

(19:33):
and there were actually people that owned car washes that
would go and be part of the voters. And so
they were like us. Now they've gotten just like all
the other critics and giving it to movies that nobody's seen.

Speaker 13 (19:46):
Actually, I figured that back in the access Hollywood days,
you would have gotten the Golden Globes that their drunken,
wacky prime.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh yes we did. But then they had the scandal.

Speaker 13 (19:56):
They well, they had a multitude of scandals. There was
the diversity one where they were criticizing the makeup of
the members, So that's kind of what did them in first.
But then also they've been criticized for years because of
their questionable choices and why they made them. So people
would throw lavish dinners for the members of the Hollywood
Foreign Press and they'd get to meet Brad Pitt and

(20:17):
Tom Cruise and that would swade.

Speaker 11 (20:18):
And that's that's.

Speaker 13 (20:20):
Allegedly how Pia Zadora got in years ago for giving
some atrocious performance. I think they said that her husband
bought it off or something to get her nomination. But
as you said, that used to be lots of fun.
It was kind of like the the anidote to these stuffy,
right boring you know, everyone sit up straight, there's no

(20:40):
booze at your table. Oscars and now, I don't know.
It's remarkable to me that the stuffy, boring ones are
the Golden Globes. So the nominations come out and in
Best Comedy and Musical and Best Drama combined, that's twelve movies.
Five of them are foreign language films.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Oh wow, you.

Speaker 13 (21:00):
Got Iran, Brazil, I think, France, Norway and in the
South Korea.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
I didn't know any of the pictures that were nominated.
I'm looking through them. I knew very in few with them,
a couple here and there, but I didn't know any
in Wicked Man. You'd think that that was going to
get a nomination somewhere for a movie.

Speaker 13 (21:20):
Well, it's like you said, how there used to be
car was showners and stuff. Now it is mostly reputable critics,
So you're just sort of getting the same kind of
things that the New York Film Critics Circle would do.
And it's just oor season is dull enough. I thought
the other day I'd made the mistake of going on
to Google and checking into how many days till the

(21:41):
Oscars ninety six ninety six days. It's absolutely unbelievable how
long we stretched this thing out. But now we don't
even get the benefit. There's here's some things that I
thought could have made it in in the old days.
The Naked Gun with Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson could
have made it in. It's a funny movie. It's a

(22:01):
totally different set of skills. Something like f one could
have gotten in. Weapons should have gotten in anyway. So
the movies that people are actually watching, I recognize some
of these tiny things that you haven't heard of are
very good, but I'm not I'm just not holding my
breath that people watch.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Them, right, And so the only attraction to watch the
Golden Globes, which I'm going to watch for this reason,
is Nikki Glazer.

Speaker 13 (22:26):
Oh she's great, and she's I think one of our
last really smart roast comics that you know, she can
be filthy when she wants to be, but really she's
just a top wit.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, absolutely, and she man, does she know her craft.
She practices like eighty ninety times.

Speaker 11 (22:43):
But don't you feel for her?

Speaker 9 (22:44):
This year?

Speaker 13 (22:44):
I remember she gave an interview with the New York
Times when and they were She's going through all her jokes,
and Anora came up with her riders and she said,
we're just gonna anore it and that was That was
okay because you had, you know, a sprinkle of small
movies this time. I don't know how she makes fun
of you know, a movie about Iranian political prisoners who

(23:07):
take revenge against their prison guard. I mean, it's a
great movie, but I just a lot of people won't
have heard of it.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah. Absolutely, she'll make fun of the crowd. She's just
gonna do the actors and actresses that are there.

Speaker 13 (23:19):
Well in the globes, there's still a shamelessness to these people.
So there's the the Box Off miss box Office Achievement category,
which is essentially the the uh you know award for money,
and Avatar is nominated. And notice Avatar hasn't come out yet.
Avatar Naitar hasn't achieved anything. Avatar has achieved zero dollars.

(23:43):
It will achieve a lot more. So they're I guess
they're hedging their bets, but they want to make sure
the Avatar people are there. Here's a movie you've seen,
and we will give it an award.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, now, Wicked, we should say I mentioned that it was.
It was nominated for some things.

Speaker 13 (23:57):
Yeah, actress supporting actress for Cynthia Rivo and Ariana Grande,
the two atrocious new songs. I like that movie, but
Steven Schwartz wrote these two horrible songs. I mean, take
you know, stab my ears out these songs, and both
of them got nominated, which shows you, you know, we're not
getting let the river run anymore. These are no my

(24:17):
heart will go on. They're just the biggest pieces of craft,
these songs. So I got five in total. You might
see Wicked in Best Picture at the Oscars because the guilds,
the producers and actors and writers who vote for those
are a lot more practical, and their tastes are not
you know, they're not all wearing black turtlenecks and swilling
brandy while they judge movies like we do.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Plus, they probably want them to open up the Oscars
again because it was highly successful last year. People loved
it last year.

Speaker 11 (24:45):
Yeah, it was great.

Speaker 13 (24:46):
I just if I had one wish for this Christmas
in this New Year's, it would be that we wouldn't
nominate ten friggin' movies. Let's nominate five we used to
nominate five, because now what you're seeing is five pretty
good contenders and then five things I have to talk about.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well, then it doesn't have to be ten, right, it
could be up to ten.

Speaker 11 (25:07):
Now it's always ten, is it really?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
They change that?

Speaker 11 (25:10):
Always ten?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, I thought there was a standard to it that
they were. They used to cut it off at seven
or eight or nine. It could be as many as ten,
but that was that used to be it, right, Yeah.

Speaker 13 (25:20):
And so now it's like a high school like in
the Sticks, trying to come up with a football team
but not having enough guys. It's like, I can you
put on a helmet? We need in, we need to in.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
And the whole reason for that was that they needed
some movies in there that people actually saw.

Speaker 13 (25:38):
Yeah, and that, well that's the thing therein lies the
rub So that gets in Avatar, that gets in Black Panther,
those kinds of movies. But now we're using it to
get in obscure forms. Yeah, but the Oscars do it too.
The Oscars last year I think had three foreign Languaghich
is fine, it's just it's they're more and more into that.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, so what give me?

Speaker 11 (26:03):
Give me?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Let's do it with Oscar predictions. At this point, you've
seen a lot of movies, and have you seen everything yet?

Speaker 11 (26:09):
Just about there's a I haven't seen.

Speaker 13 (26:11):
There's a Brazilian movie I have to see called The
Secret Agent, which got a bunch of golden that'll be
at the Oscars. The big movie is gonna be one
battle after another, the Paul Thomas Anderson, Leonardo DiCaprio of
kind of Vigilante Justice Satire.

Speaker 11 (26:24):
It's good. It's a good movie.

Speaker 13 (26:26):
I don't think it's as earth shattering as some of
my colleagues on the Aisle do. I did like it,
but right now it's the Juggernaut is one every lead
up award so far, there's so many.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
So that's that's interesting. So for for Best Movie, you
think that's gonna win? Oh yeah, what should win?

Speaker 11 (26:44):
What should win? Gosh? Abstained? Can we abstain this year?

Speaker 13 (26:48):
I liked the movie. I like the movie. You know
what I'd liked it. I liked Marty Supreme with Timothy Shallomey.
I find it much more exciting, better acted, more fun.
That's coming out at Christmas. You'll have a good time.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Wasn't Joe Numeyer high on that movie? As well, Marty Supreme. Yes,
this might be the first one of the first times
that you absolutely agreed on a movie.

Speaker 13 (27:09):
I know, I remember when he liked a Jurassic World
dominion or whatever. I almost threw my headset.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
On the ground.

Speaker 13 (27:15):
And no, I I respect any colleagues opinion.

Speaker 11 (27:19):
Need to get you, the both of you guys together
in one room.

Speaker 14 (27:22):
We got to do that one day.

Speaker 11 (27:23):
Well, just bring a mop for the blood.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Johnny Alexinski, New York Post entertainment critic, with us every
Tuesday at nine thirty five. Thanks a lot, Johnny. When
we come back, my final thoughts are recap of today's
show and of course the talk back of the morning.
Now with some final thoughts, here's Larry. The billion dollars
federal fund fraud case in Minnesota is really worth paying

(27:48):
attention to for several reasons. Even though you're gonna notice
right now that the Democrats and the legacy media are
really playing it down. They're already calling it an isolated incident. Wow,
we didn't know that. They're saying it's just a local story.
But stealing a billion dollars at least probably two billion

(28:12):
dollars in federal money, that's not just a local story
and it's federal funds. That's a national story. And they
keep insinuating that it's racist to even bring it up
because it's a group of Somali immigrants allegedly behind the
fraud and theft. Yeah, but did I mention the two

(28:33):
billion dollars? There's no hiding behind race or politics. This
may be the biggest state scandal in history. At its core,
the Somalian community allegedly helped by the terrorist group Al Shabab,
stole money from the poor, the hungry, the sick, and

(28:56):
from children with autism to funnel the money to them,
to politicians and to terrorist organizations like Al Shabab in Somalia.
And everybody in the state knew about it. There were
several whistleblowers, but the Somali population in Minnesota is a

(29:19):
powerful voting block. So Tim Walls, who wanted to be
vice president, ignored it, and so did other politicians. But
what we really have to watch more than anyone else
is squad member Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's involvement. She's been out
in front on the media, in the media talking about

(29:42):
how silly it is, how it's nothing, how it's racist.
It's hard to believe she didn't know what was going on,
and maybe she was involved. It is a scandal to watch.
It's going to play out well in the next year
and into the midterm elections. And speaking of elections, man,

(30:05):
did we get lucky? Just think of these four words,
Vice President Tim Walls, did you shut her? I did?
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes streaming host Bill O'Reilly
and Sal Scognamillo from Patsy's Italian Restaurant, Now a recap

(30:26):
of today's show. White House correspond to John Decker says
Donald Trump's focus on affordability is a typical concern during
election season. It's just a new way of saying it.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
It's a national issue, but it's just another word for
you know, talking about the economy, and the economy's always
been an important issue in every election. We saw that
play out, not only the mayor's race that you just mentioned, Larry,
but the governor's races in New Jersey and also in Virginia.
Affordability number one issue for so many voters.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
ABC News correspondent in Jerusalem Jordana Miller believes the upcoming
meeting between Trump and net and Yahoo is critical for
the peace deal in Gaza.

Speaker 14 (31:06):
The Israeli Prime Minister says he's coming to see the
President on December twenty ninth and they are going to
discuss moving into phase two. And Phase two is really
the critical phase. I think it's where President Trump's peace
plan for Gaza either lives or dies.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Editor in chief of The National Review, Rich Lowry thinks
Trump deserves credit for stopping a Biden era initiative that
not many people are talking about.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Biden wanted to basically phase out gas powered cars. They
just wanted the US fleet to be two thirds electric.
At the moment it's two percent. So he can't do
this without forcing massive changes down people's throats. But people
like hybrids are especially gas powered cars, So consumer preference
and economic sense should drive this process.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
And that's what Trump is returning to, and we should
slid him for it.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Following Bruce Blakeman's announcement that he's entering the New York
Governor's race, w o R weeknight host Jimmy Fahla is
sharing his thought on our choices.

Speaker 10 (32:07):
When you see Kathy Holkel on the ballot, like I'm
thinking about running, everybody feels like they should win. You know,
there's this old funny Joe Chris rock One told he
said when he found out Jana Jackson was dating Jermaine dupri,
every guy was like.

Speaker 9 (32:23):
Damn, I haven't shot. You know.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
We talked about holiday dishes of our youth earlier, the
Talkback of the Morning and winter the MENTI in the
Morning t shirt went down memory lane. My grandma would
always make the shredded carrot and raisin salad.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
Every meal whenever we went over there.

Speaker 14 (32:46):
That was always one of my grandpa's favorite dishes.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I hated it, I loved it. I used to eat that.
That's great. Don't forget the best talkback of the week
takes home the Sea Crane Radio. Sea Crane Radios delivered
the reception and clarity you deserve. Our current bid for
that in studio meet and greet is seven hundred hours,
