Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back. So glad you're here this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
And I'm really happy that sitting right across from me
right now is Jimmy Fayala from Fox News. So I'm
a little bit nervous because you know, he's a he's
a big professional and he has a handler here with him.
That's how professional he is. He brings somebody from Fox
News wherever you go.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, if you want to know the truth, she's sent
by wardrobe to make sure I don't eat carbs, okay,
because I look a little chubby in those sport coats
I wear on TV. So we actually have a cookie wrangler,
like if ye, if you if I eat a cookie
right now? Tamara jumps in, I get closed on situation
in life.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, can you get a cookie? Because I really really
want to see that. I would pay to see that.
All right, let me get through this Big three and
then we'll talk to Jimmy Fayla. In the second, anti
ICE riots breakout from coast to coast. At the Federal
Building in Manhattan, protesters tried to block ICE from doing
(01:00):
their job.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You cannot just come into the community and terrorize citizens
the way you did.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
And a bigger and more violent protest in Los Angeles.
It was going on all night right into the early
morning hours, where the President called in the National Guard
and has five hundred marines on standby.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Well, we're gonna have troops everywhere.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
We're not gonna let this happen to our country.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We're not gonna let our country be ord apart like
it was an to fight.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And this autoped and how about this? Who saw this coming?
Muslim mayor oal candidate zorhim mom. Donnie is now facing
criticism from both New York Jews and Muslim protesters, who
are upset that he even recognizes Israel.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
You cannot, I'm so sure.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Any how do you smile.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
And smirk like that? One hundred thousand people?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Oh my, you are dead?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Wow? Why do you think that's?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Who saw that? Who's ready for some comedy?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, all right, Tomorrow is primary day in New Jersey.
I'll just mention that as voters choose who's going to
run for governor.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Anything to say about any of that.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I mean New Jersey. Obviously, I'm not from there.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I do.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I have the accent from my time driving a cab
in New York City, but I've I've invested so much
money in the state of New Jersey via Atlantic City
blackjack tables. I feel like I should be allowed to vote. Okay,
everybody talks about that time they lost a lot of money.
I'm like, don't talk to you about losing money. So
you're putting on a blonde wig and walking the board
walk in a pair of high heels to make back
(02:42):
bus money to get to New York.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I'm like, then you reail money. You know what.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Exactly do you do for that bus? Mondey dressed up
like that?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Meet me in the bathroom during the commercial, Stop it
you stop it? Come on. This was a classic network till.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They brought in are you one of those guys that
plays blackjack? And said, don't worry, I know how to
count cards.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
You're not a are you listen?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I had a good rundown there. I studied gambling at
some of the most prestigious institutions in America, University of Caesar's,
Borgada states.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
It's a pricey degree.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We're really excited, excited that you're going to be having
this show on Big Deal tonight on wor at nine
o'clock tonight. Tell us what the show is like, I've
heard it I've heard it in other stations. Oh man,
I'm so glad you're joining us.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm gonna give it to you through analogies. Okay, for real,
first and foremost, the show is like the greatest story
ever told. Because I was a New York City cab
driver for about ten years. They start to talk after
your third vehicular manslaughter and that you know you said
the renewal process gets a little diceier after each individual one.
But anyway, stick with me. I was a guy, of course,
who spent long hours. I was driving a cab eighty
(03:44):
four hours a week listening to Wor in my cab.
So in a lot of ways, this is a station
that kept me alive, you know. And I was listening
to Rush back in a day. And this is one
qualifier for everybody listening. Rush used to say he had
talent on loan from God. Okay, I don't have talent
on loan from God, but as a former cab driver,
I do know a guy named Hazus who sells stolen
flatscreen TVs in the Bronx, and in this economy, he
(04:07):
might be more valuable to you than me borrowing some
of that Rush talent from God.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
God was like, no, I've seen your credit rating. I
don't trust you to get this talent back to me.
Rush made good on the deal. He's an icon.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So for me, what the show is for real is
I am obviously taking the issues very seriously, but as
you can tell, I don't take myself seriously at all,
and I feel like I have that obligation because that's
my one contribution to media is essentially I show up
every day and I'm like, I describe myself as a
dog with a job. You know when you go to
the airport and the dog that sniffs the bags is
(04:41):
always smiling and wagging his tail because he can't believe
they're counting on him to save the plane.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Okay, that's me.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Every time I go on the radio, every time I
go on TV, I have the energy of a dog
with a job. So I'm gonna crush it as long
as no one throws a tennis ball halfway through the opening,
in which case I run out of here and somebody
pets my stomach and you gotta go to break her.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What I love about you and watching Fox News all
the time, what I love about you is you're always happy. Yeah, yeah,
you were always in a good mood.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Huh. I mean you don't see that with everybody, and
a lot of people are so different.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah when you meet them in person, not you. Well
that's because they're traditional TV people. They're starving, they're not
allowed to eat. Okay, Like I joke, I clearly eat it.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I dress like a figure skater who let himself go. Okay,
that's my whole hook, because I look like I wore
I want to medal twenty years ago and then bunked
up during the pandemic and never turned it around. But
you're right to say that I do have good energy
because I have perspective. I mean, this is a serious point.
I really was driving a cab getting cut off, getting
shot at, and people would always say that to me.
You know, at Fox, this comes up all the time.
(05:44):
They'll say, like, Wow, you're a long day. So you're
in Fox and Friends at it in the morning. I
saw you and Hannity at nine at night. You did
your radio show in there till ten or eleven. You know, God,
it's got to be a long day. I'm like, dude,
there is no world where TV and radio Jimmy Fala
could call up taxi driver Jimmy Fahla and tell him
about the tough day he had.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Listen, I know you're getting beat up by a mariachi
band on the van Wick Expressway. But if you could
say a prayer for me because I had to get
hair and makeup and go on TV for four minutes.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
And there's always a bathroom around. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Clear to be clear, when you're driving a cab, there's
always a bathroom around. Shout out to that empty big
gold cup. It's not the issue you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
But just a word to the wise out there.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Those cabbies are not dumping out coffee at red lights.
Something out of my cab, out of town once they're like, wow,
the coffee must suck in this town. I always see
the cabbies dumping it out and I'm like, well about that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Look at the big golf and say he can have
some of that mountain joo.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, wow, you do not want that.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I love that you're here. I love that you're part
of the show. What do you tonight? What do you
What are you talking about tonight?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, it's it's in a lot of ways, it's big
box because what I try to do. Obviously, we got
these la Ice riots. Okay, you might not know this
about me, but I am like super supportive of law enforcement.
Everyone in my family is a cop. We NYPDA, both
my brothers, my dad, my uncle, nine of my cousins NYPDA.
I get well, I would have been a cop if
(07:15):
it weren't for this thing called a background check.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
They remember that a problem they told me about that.
I was like, thank you for your time, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
No, if you want to laugh, I actually got hired
by the NYPD and the Port Authority when I was young,
but I had already started comedy, and I was like,
I don't need your health care and your benefits. I'm
getting paid in onion rings at the ground ram times
like I've made it?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So I'm always talking about those primal issues first and
foremost because they.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Affect all of us.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know, you'd expect me, as a guy who hosts
a Fox News show to be a little right wing,
but I don't do a right wing conservative talk show.
I do an American talk show. There are certain things
we all have an investment in, and politics has a
way of blinding us to that reality. The cops matter,
the border matters, crime matters. I mean, think about right now.
You played a clip during the Big Three about how
(08:02):
they claimed that we were endangering people by sending in
the National Guard. No, No, endangering people is what's happening. They're
burning down businesses. People don't feel threatened if you're a
local business owner by the National Guard showing up.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
That's to them.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Finally, Okay, you feel threatened by the guy dumping gasoline
on your store. So in a lot of ways, there's
a broken compass in society, and I'm trying to be
that common denominator that kind of recalibrates the thing.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
That's what I do. I come on the air.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There's jokes, this goofy, I take shots at myself, but
I'm very much putting your vitamins in your apple sauce.
You know, you trick a kid into eating his vitamins
by putting them in apple sauce, and then he eats
them and he doesn't even know he digest them. That's
kind of how I distill hard news.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's so bring a spoon, that's great, that's Philosophy's I
also like that you're coming at this especially the stories
that are in the news nowadays. That a perspective of
someone who is from a cop family.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yes, big time cops, cabbies, and you see it like
I had no appreciation for what my brothers did until
I became a cab driver, you know, because you see
how primal that gig is. If there's a guy on
the corner of sixth Avenue with no pants on, swinging
a golf club at people, Okay, everybody yelling defund the
pl doesn't have to deal with that guy. The cops do.
(09:11):
They have to dive in and handle that guy. And
for me, it's awkward because he's got no pants on,
and I know Jeffrey Tuban, so I also have to weigh.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, we have a lot more of this to come.
Thanks so much for being here, Jimmy, and thanks for
joining the station. It means a lot to everybody here.
A Brooklyn staple that brought a taste of Italy to
benson Hurst for decades is closing its doors. Don't you
dare sorry, We'll help you say goodbye next and there
is still time to leave us a talkback. Leave one
(09:42):
for Jimmy, fail and win talk back of the morning.
Just go to seven to ten WR on the iHeartRadio
app and click the microphone and you could win. And
I know you want one of these, but we can't
give him to everybody. A limited edition MENTI in the
Morning T shirt.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Stop it to go with my Thong.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
In the Morning.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, yeah, I won that one. I disguise my voice,
but I did win it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I want to see it during the break. We're coming
right back.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Jimmy Fayla's here. Whoa from Fox News. He's also now
from WOR. His show Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayla
debuts on WR tonight from nine to midnight. I've heard
the show before. It is wonderful. If you love Jimmy Fayler,
you're gonna love the show tonight. I don't normally replay talkbacks,
(10:27):
but I really appreciate your talkbacks. If you want to
leave one, go to seven to ten WOR on the
iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and you're on the air.
But we had such Jimmy, we had an amazing Trump
in personate.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Oh, I love this, one of the best.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Ones I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know how everybody's a little affected when they do
Trump and they do it too big?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, they overcommit.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, this is a.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Guy that really wants an MENTI in the Morning T shirt, which,
by the way, everybody does.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And so here is his message.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Hey, Larry, this is your favorite president. I hear you
giving away big, beautiful Mente in the Morning T shirts.
What I want to donate some leftover Trump Musk T
shirts to you so you can get more listeners.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Good job.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
And if Caroline Levitt decides to leave to work for Fox,
I want to hire Jacqueline carl as my press secret.
Have your people call my people. Have a big, beautiful
day race.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Jacqueline's getting paid. I'm getting the now you are.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You've heard a lot of Trump impersonators. How good was that?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
That guy was actually better at impersonating a president than
Joe Biden was. I mean, take a bow whoever left
that talk back? Because it was the measured cadence of
how he did it. That really does set him apart,
because everybody who does the Trump really goes big. That
was a restrained Trump. Dare I say Susie Wilds in
(11:50):
the actual White House would appreciate that Trump. That was
a good thing for Trumps, Like, how do I get
that Trump. That guy could run twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yea doesn't have to. I love that thing. And somebody
could answer the phones for them.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
We'd journalist, Like that horse's name is really bothering me. Journalists,
I think, don't exist anymore. We have nothing but pundits
everywhere on every side the entire planet. I don't think
that one journalist exists. Get rid of the word because
(12:27):
we don't have those anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, we had, we had Donald Trump. Now we got
James Earld Jones.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah, I mean they're all here today. That's amazing. That
guy should be a talk show host.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And he says journalism is dead. Did he see my
report on the hot dog toppings in Times Square? Clearly
this is a man who's not casting a wide enough net.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
One.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
We did play a game called steakhouse or gay bar
on my show this past Saturday night. How dare you, sir?
How dare you? Okay, but that's funny. But he's right,
and it's, you know, sadly active.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Masquerading as journalists.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Now, that's what we have in mass media, and unfortunately
for them, okay, it's why they're losing at the rate
that they are to social media. You know, people trust
a local radio show. We talk to them every day,
we meet them, we bargain with them in good faith.
But at the national level you can see that everything
is filtered through the lens of how does this affect
national politics? Like you look at LA right now. LA's
(13:22):
literally on fire, and their bigger concern is how do
we pin this to Trump. That's not a guy telling
the story.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Excellent, Wow, that's gonna be on the show tonight, that
kind of stuff, that kind of insight.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
But not Natalie cutting me off. She won't be there
to do it. Oh no, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
That's her sign to me. I have to talk about
something else, like which I do. Want to talk about
Barry's pork.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You know Eighteenth Avenue, Eighteenth Avenue, your eighteenth Avenue. Now
he's passing it all the time in my cab.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It been there for like fifty years. It's now closing
its doors. No, it's not well because the neighborhood has changed.
You're not getting the same amount of customers. There's a
lot of Italians there. In the past, they ring stuff
in from Italy. They had the taste of Italy when
they were doing the story on Eyewitness News the other day.
It was it was amazing. The guy that runs the
store is Tony, and he pointed to a customer coming
(14:12):
in who was crying that it was going to close up.
And then listen to Tony at the end of.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
This look at him when he's eight years You know,
I've been coming to yet. You know, it's like a family.
I don't know, I can't do any more. Yeah, he
started crying too.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh that is rough man, because that is I mean,
the best of the best. And you know, people don't realize,
especially here in New York, how much a part of
a fabric of a community a place like that is,
you know, and it ties so many generations of people together.
I mean, think of how many times families we don't know,
thousands of them. Was that No, we're going down to Barry.
You know, that's a thing and it leaves the lexicon now.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
And it hurts when it leads.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Ah, it's tough.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I mean I haven't been allowed to go there since
I got a TV show, but obviously like no, I
love you.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
There open till June twenty.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Oh, we're gonna go, let's go.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
You should head over there.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Oh, well, I got to take off the ankle bracelet
though the wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Thank Let's go to Jacqueline Carl right now, the new
press secretary for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
At nine p thirty Jacqueline.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
President Trump says invoking the Insurrection Act is still on
the table in response to protests in Los Angeles. The
Act allows presidents to call on reserve or active duty
military to respond to civil unrest and states the authority
is not reviewable by the courts, though the president must
first request that participants disperse. And there's a protest planned
today in Lower Manhattan against President Trump's travelman that just
(15:38):
went into effect this morning.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Immigration advocates gathering at Fully Square to speak out against
Trump blocking people in twelve countries from entering the US
that includes Afghanistan, Iran, and Sudan. There is also a
partial travel ban now in effect for a handful of
other countries, including Cuba and Venezuela. This would have a
big impact on New York Haitian community. The head of
the New York Immigration Coalition as alls the band cruel
(16:01):
and a calculator to assault on immigrants. Trump says the
band's an effort to fight terrorism. I'm Skafpringle WRDWS.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
So we all know there are some people who need
profile picture help, especially with dating apps. So, according to Mainchi,
a special event in Tokyo recently helped middle aged men
tackle better selfies for dating apps. The workshop, led by
love and marriage consultant Kikunos, taught single men in their
(16:28):
forties and fifties how to improve their photos. She shared
easy tips like using good lighting to avoid yellow tones
that can make skin look dull. She'll also advised smiling
and taught the men which angles are best in order
to find love. You know what they really need. They
just need some gen zs to help. We should all
be assigned one because they know the angles. My god,
(16:50):
the lighting in the angles.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's like from birth.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
They came up out of the womb and they're like,
hold on, get.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
That big light out of Just move it a little.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
To the left and I'm just going to take a
picture because I watched them and they know their stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So Jimmy Fayla and his MENTI in the morning thong
that he should take that down.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yes, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
It just depends on who he's trying to attract.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Jacqueline that's Hold on a second.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There's a lot of there's a lot of chubby chasers
out there, there is. Can I tell you something I
performed Friday night in Reno? Yeah, okay, I signed four
pairs of breasts and some of these guys were good looking,

is in Israel.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Next, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
We're so happy to have Jimmy Fayla from Fox News
with us. It was here with a hand tomaraw Carsev.
And when you talk, she keeps shaking her head and
taking notes.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
That's that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
She's sends me her a minute by minute accounting back
to Fox headquarters. And basically, this is going to determine
how many vaults are in the taser before I do
my show today.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
If it's a two thousand day, it's going to be
a good show.
Speaker 2 (18:20):

need a red volt when you get treated like you
got caught counting cards in a Vegas can see a
little zapp.

You keep bringing this up.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's a thing. I wasn't counting cards.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
No, I was just gambling, so like I was in
for instance, I was in Reno this weekend. Just landing
in Reno is gambling. Okay, whether you go to a
casino or not, you have taken your life into your
own hands. In twenty seconds? Can I do this so fast?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I was. This is a real story. Tomorrow knows this.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I was going into a hotel in Reno and the
cops were actually hogtying a woman who had been arrested.
She had her hands handcuffed to he feet, and she
looked up at me and goes, Jimmy fail, I love
your show.

came out on a podcast the last couple of days
talking about Andrew Cuomo. I know they're not friends, but
I thought this went a little far and I'd love
you to comment on it.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
Progress requires that we look forward and that we not
go backwards, and that people of color, particularly African Americans,
understand that he's criticized me, criticized Barack Obama, criticized David Patterson,
and criticized the Speaker of the State Assembly, Carl Hasty.
And what do we all have in common? We're all
(20:52):
people of color.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
WHOA, So what do you make of that area?
Speaker 11 (20:57):
Oh? No, absolutely, you know there was that old line
from the Obama when they go low, we go high,
and this is, you know, we go subterranean. I mean,
this is really just know obviously playing the race card.
This is something we've seen Fonnie Willis in Fulton County,
do you know, towards her critics such that you know,
she was disqualifying from her prosecution of Donald Trump down
(21:19):
in Georgia. You know, the other thing that Letitia James
said in that interview was that Clomo has his eyes
on the twenty twenty eight presidency. So you know, there's
no doubt that, you know, Letitia James, he just hates
Clobo to his core, clearly is exercised by his leading
the polls, and you know is trying to put her
hand on the on the scale for for really anyone else.
(21:42):
She supports Adrian Adams, so one gets the sense that
it doesn't much matter to her as long as it's
not in como.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah, I'm fair.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm no fan of obviously Letitia James and that commentary.
It's obviously so intellectually lazy and reductive because it requires
you to pretend Clomo has and picked a fight with
any white politicians and to be clear, and to be clear, Okay,
he's obviously not discriminating because his COVID policies killed people
from every background. Okay, that's the joy of Andrew Cromo.
(22:13):
But I agree with Letitia James on one thing. Ari
he does want to run in twenty twenty eight because
Cuomo thinks those MAGA hats stand for make America Grope again,
thinks he's got a shop.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
You know, there's an unfinished family or family business. But
you know the hypocrisy of that. Remember in the debate,
you know, it came up that Zorah Mandani are a
very own homegrown socialist, you know, had called Barack Obama evil, Right,
I mean, so, so this idea that somehow at place
You know, guys, I just don't think invoking the name
Barack Obama has the same residents do you know. I
(22:45):
think they're kind of diminishing returns on playing that card.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, talk about what's going on out in LA and
what is happening here in New York as well of
calling in the National Guard. There are people that are
saying it's unconstitutional, and I don't understand that at all.
I thought the National Guard could be used by the
President of the United States in situations like this.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
What is your understanding on that.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
It is, after all, called the National Guard, right, and
the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. Listen.
I think some of the images we've seen out of
out of LA, people flying forget the Mexican flag, you know,
walking around with Hamas armbands flying, you know, terrorist group flags,
not an American.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Flag site by the way, not an American flag insite.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
No, unless maybe it was burning. But you know, just really,
you know, couldn't couldn't really be better in a way
for President Trump's argument that that sort of mature leadership
or just adult leadership is needed. You know, Gavin Newsom
has been a study in efficacy and then we have
another and maybe would be Governor of California, Kamala Harris
(24:00):
calling the protest mostly peaceful. You know, it's like it's
like we're back in twenty twenty, you know, and I'm
cowering inside my apartment in New York while you know
it's wrong as the rioting in the streets, and we're
being told that those were peaceful as well.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, it's crazy. Kamala, though, resurfaces I think every ten days,
just to make Americans appreciate their.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Vote for Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Like I think, honestly, Ari, he might be kicking her
cash at this point because Kamala does this thing.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It's so successful for me.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
As a broadcaster on Fox New Saturday night, we play
a game called wine or Pills where we play Kamala's
clip of the week and we're like, what do you
think she was on?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Winder pills? And the audience usually says both.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But the point is, there is no greater surrogate for
Donald Trump than the modern Democratic Party. Absolutely, and it
really speaks to the desperation of politics that Newsom wants
to become a president so badly he's now campaigning for
the Mexican job.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Clearly clearly.
Speaker 11 (24:57):
Well, you know, it's really kind to think of, you know,
if anyone has fomo, you know, fear of missing out,
there's no better antidotes than Kamala Harris opening up her
mouth up and you know, field kind of rapidly coming
together where we have the you know, between Andrew Cuomo
and and Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I mean you know that, Yeah, yeah, I you know,
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I must have missed that story. Kamala Harris is eyeing
the good nitorial spot in California.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Yeah, there's a lot of talk that that's her next move.
You know, she's kind of hanging out at home, you know,
having the I'm sure the Napa Valley's finest seen on war,
looking around, looking around, and you know that job is
going to be open with with with Gavin term limited,
(25:49):
you know, and and I mean good luck to him.
That's all I have to say.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Harry Hoffman, Associate editor of the New York Sun, ariy,
try to enjoy your trip a little bit. I know
you're working, but Israel is really just a gorgeous place.
When we come back, we'll have a recap of today's show,
and I'm not gonna do final thoughts. Today, Jimmy is
going to do the final thoughts and we'll also have
the talk back of the morning. Our iHeartRadio Music Festival
(26:18):
is back and you can win your way in before
you buy tickets. It all happens September nineteenth and September
twentieth at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, two nights,
one stage. Listen to win tickets before you can buy them.
Plus you're gonna get airfare, hotel one thousand dollars in cash.
Your next chance to win happens at one o'clock. Now
(26:41):
my final thoughts. Here's Jimmy Fayla's final thoughts.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Hot Damn New York.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
First and foremost, it is a high honor to be
joining ther Airwaves tonight at nine pm Eastern. What's in
it for you the listener? If you stick with the
show for nine hours or three hours, it's three hours,
it's gonna feel longer.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
If you stick with the show for three hours, you
will go home tonight believing you two could get a
nationally syndicated talk Okay. My superpower in New York is
the fact that I don't have one. I'm a regular guy. Okay,
I always say this about my appearances at Fox. I'm
surrounded like Jesse Waters is a TV star. I look
like the guy who installed your TV. Okay, that's the hook.
(27:20):
But to give you some entree into my life, I
grew up in Lovetown on Long Island. I became a
New York City cab driver after I don't mean to
pistol whip you guys with my academic prosperity, but I
did go to Nasau Community College and major in Supernintendo.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Not you guys.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, if you guys ever need help rescuing a princess
and killing a few turtles, I'm your guy. But I'm
not here to save democracy.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I was driving two G thirty four. That's my medallion.
It's still out on the roads to this day. I
was listening to talk radio, and I was essentially an
affordable therapist for my passengers. Because people get in and
they know they're never going to see you again, so
they dump their love life on you. They dump their
political views. But here's the thing, nobody tells them, you
do see them again. Okay, and now the guy who
gets back in, who was in the cab on the
way to LaGuardia last week, tell me about how he
(28:00):
likes to dress up on a Viking helmet and get
spent with a gi Joe is suddenly your passenger for
forty minutes, and you got to act like everything's fine.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So I'm gonna give you news.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I'm going to give you politics, but you're gonna get
it through the lens of a cab driver. Just an
entry level perspective. Okay, do I have thirty seconds to
tell the Hannity story?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So I started out in the cab. I was obviously
listening to wor I was doing stand up comy at night.
I was driving eighty four. I was weak doing stand
up at night. I was the guy who would go
on before the guy you've actually heard of. Well, the
end of the month, I'll be now co headlining with
Sean Hannity, who's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So I was flying out to Pittsburgh with Tamara about
three weeks ago. Woman gets on the plane named Wendy
and goes, Oh my god, what are the odds I
just bought your book in the airport. You're on my plane.
What are the odds you gotta sign my book? I'm like, Oh,
that's crazy. Wendy, Yeah, give me the book because I
started writing it. She goes, you know, I didn't know
who you were till I started watching Sean Hannity. I
love Sean Hannity. I've known him for thirty years. I've
watch him for thirty years. What are the odds? And
if she's talking to me about what are the odds,
(28:53):
Hannity calls me on my phone.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
So I show her my phone. I go, what are
the odds? And she's like, oh my god, I.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Go, you know this means the plane's crashing now right,
like the odds are insane. But anyway, Hannity may Wendy
tonight WR. I couldn't be happier. It's going to be
a banger.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I cannot wait.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Let's go, Wenn.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes Boston radio host Howie
Carr and big special guest, the host of Fox Across
the Meat, Jimmy Fayla, Now on seven to ten WR,
weeknights from nine to midnight.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
We are keeping you busy here today.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah, I don't appreciate you calling me a big guest.
Leave my weight out of.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Them, like I come on, well, come on now, a
recap of today's show White House. Correspondent for The Daily Caller,
Reagan Reeves says that White House is confident in their
decision to send in help for the LAPD officers dealing
with the anti ice protests.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
They're very confident in the fact that LA needs the
National Guard. I think the mainstream media is going to
try to downplay the violence in Los Angeles and make
this seem like a completely irrational move from the President.
But the American people just can look for their own
eyes and see that these are violent, fiery protests.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Legend darry sportscaster Warner Wolf thanks a French Open final
battle between two young stars could mark the end for
one of tennis's greatest athletes.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
It was the best match I've ever seen, and as
long as twenty three year old Janick Sinner and twenty
two year old Carlos Algarez or around. I'm afraid the
thirty eight year old Novak Djokovic has won his last
major and he's going to retire.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Award winning journalist Mike Kelly believes that the race for
governor of New Jersey already has a clear favorite.
Speaker 13 (30:42):
I think the Democrats are trying to find themselves Republicans.
You're absolutely right. I've been listening to your commentary earlier
this morning. I think it's Jack Chittarelli's race to lose,
not only in the primary, but I will walk even
farther than this and say I think it's Jack Chitdarelli's
race to lose in November.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
New wo R host Jimmy Fella doesn't live in New Jersey,
but he believes he's done enough to have some say
in the next governor.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
A man, I've invested so much money in the state
of New Jersey via Atlantic City blackjack tables, I feel
like I should be allowed to vote. Okay, everybody talks
about that time they lost a lot of money. I'm like,
don't talk to you about losing money. So you're putting
on a blond wig and walking before walk in a
pair of high heels to make back bus money to
get to New York.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I'm like, then you retail money.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Oh you're gonna have to listen tonight at nine o'clock
for more of that. Our talk back of the Morning
and winner of the Mentee in the Morning t shirt
has a statement on journalism in our country.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
The word journalist like that horse's name is really bothering me. Journalists,
I think don't exist anymore. We have nothing but pundits
everywhere on every side the entire planet. I don't think
that one journalist exists. Get rid of the word because
(32:05):
we don't have those anymore. Well, that's a pretty fast horse.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's really good. Coming up tomorrow and MENTI in the morning.
It's primary day in New Jersey. We'll bring you all
the latest updates. We'll be joined by White House correspondent
John Decker, former New York City Council Minority leader Joe Borelli,
National Review editor in chief Rich Lowry, and New York
Post entertainment columnist Johnny Olegzinski with the latest Tony Award news.
(32:29):
Plus don't mist you don't miss your chance to win
James Taylor tickets at A twenty five. Enjoy the rest
of your day, and be sure to tune in to
Jimmy Fela tonight from nine to midnight. Now here's the news.
It's ten o'clock
Welcome back. So glad you're here this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
And I'm really happy that sitting right across from me
right now is Jimmy Fayala from Fox News. So I'm
a little bit nervous because you know, he's a he's
a big professional and he has a handler here with him.
That's how professional he is. He brings somebody from Fox
News wherever you go.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, if you want to know the truth, she's sent
by wardrobe to make sure I don't eat carbs, okay,
because I look a little chubby in those sport coats
I wear on TV. So we actually have a cookie wrangler,
like if ye, if you if I eat a cookie
right now? Tamara jumps in, I get closed on situation
in life.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, can you get a cookie? Because I really really
want to see that. I would pay to see that.
All right, let me get through this Big three and
then we'll talk to Jimmy Fayla. In the second, anti
ICE riots breakout from coast to coast. At the Federal
Building in Manhattan, protesters tried to block ICE from doing
(01:00):
their job.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You cannot just come into the community and terrorize citizens
the way you did.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
And a bigger and more violent protest in Los Angeles.
It was going on all night right into the early
morning hours, where the President called in the National Guard
and has five hundred marines on standby.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Well, we're gonna have troops everywhere.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
We're not gonna let this happen to our country.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We're not gonna let our country be ord apart like
it was an to fight.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And this autoped and how about this? Who saw this coming?
Muslim mayor oal candidate zorhim mom. Donnie is now facing
criticism from both New York Jews and Muslim protesters, who
are upset that he even recognizes Israel.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
You cannot, I'm so sure.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Any how do you smile.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
And smirk like that? One hundred thousand people?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Oh my, you are dead?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Wow? Why do you think that's?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Who saw that? Who's ready for some comedy?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, all right, Tomorrow is primary day in New Jersey.
I'll just mention that as voters choose who's going to
run for governor.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Anything to say about any of that.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I mean New Jersey. Obviously, I'm not from there.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I do.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I have the accent from my time driving a cab
in New York City, but I've I've invested so much
money in the state of New Jersey via Atlantic City
blackjack tables. I feel like I should be allowed to vote. Okay,
everybody talks about that time they lost a lot of money.
I'm like, don't talk to you about losing money. So
you're putting on a blonde wig and walking the board
walk in a pair of high heels to make back
(02:42):
bus money to get to New York.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I'm like, then you reail money. You know what.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Exactly do you do for that bus? Mondey dressed up
like that?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Meet me in the bathroom during the commercial, Stop it
you stop it? Come on. This was a classic network till.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They brought in are you one of those guys that
plays blackjack? And said, don't worry, I know how to
count cards.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
You're not a are you listen?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I had a good rundown there. I studied gambling at
some of the most prestigious institutions in America, University of Caesar's,
Borgada states.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
It's a pricey degree.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We're really excited, excited that you're going to be having
this show on Big Deal tonight on wor at nine
o'clock tonight. Tell us what the show is like, I've
heard it I've heard it in other stations. Oh man,
I'm so glad you're joining us.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm gonna give it to you through analogies. Okay, for real,
first and foremost, the show is like the greatest story
ever told. Because I was a New York City cab
driver for about ten years. They start to talk after
your third vehicular manslaughter and that you know you said
the renewal process gets a little diceier after each individual one.
But anyway, stick with me. I was a guy, of course,
who spent long hours. I was driving a cab eighty
(03:44):
four hours a week listening to Wor in my cab.
So in a lot of ways, this is a station
that kept me alive, you know. And I was listening
to Rush back in a day. And this is one
qualifier for everybody listening. Rush used to say he had
talent on loan from God. Okay, I don't have talent
on loan from God, but as a former cab driver,
I do know a guy named Hazus who sells stolen
flatscreen TVs in the Bronx, and in this economy, he
(04:07):
might be more valuable to you than me borrowing some
of that Rush talent from God.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
God was like, no, I've seen your credit rating. I
don't trust you to get this talent back to me.
Rush made good on the deal. He's an icon.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So for me, what the show is for real is
I am obviously taking the issues very seriously, but as
you can tell, I don't take myself seriously at all,
and I feel like I have that obligation because that's
my one contribution to media is essentially I show up
every day and I'm like, I describe myself as a
dog with a job. You know when you go to
the airport and the dog that sniffs the bags is
(04:41):
always smiling and wagging his tail because he can't believe
they're counting on him to save the plane.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Okay, that's me.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Every time I go on the radio, every time I
go on TV, I have the energy of a dog
with a job. So I'm gonna crush it as long
as no one throws a tennis ball halfway through the opening,
in which case I run out of here and somebody
pets my stomach and you gotta go to break her.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What I love about you and watching Fox News all
the time, what I love about you is you're always happy. Yeah, yeah,
you were always in a good mood.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Huh. I mean you don't see that with everybody, and
a lot of people are so different.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah when you meet them in person, not you. Well
that's because they're traditional TV people. They're starving, they're not
allowed to eat. Okay, Like I joke, I clearly eat it.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I dress like a figure skater who let himself go. Okay,
that's my whole hook, because I look like I wore
I want to medal twenty years ago and then bunked
up during the pandemic and never turned it around. But
you're right to say that I do have good energy
because I have perspective. I mean, this is a serious point.
I really was driving a cab getting cut off, getting
shot at, and people would always say that to me.
You know, at Fox, this comes up all the time.
(05:44):
They'll say, like, Wow, you're a long day. So you're
in Fox and Friends at it in the morning. I
saw you and Hannity at nine at night. You did
your radio show in there till ten or eleven. You know, God,
it's got to be a long day. I'm like, dude,
there is no world where TV and radio Jimmy Fala
could call up taxi driver Jimmy Fahla and tell him
about the tough day he had.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Listen, I know you're getting beat up by a mariachi
band on the van Wick Expressway. But if you could
say a prayer for me because I had to get
hair and makeup and go on TV for four minutes.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
And there's always a bathroom around. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Clear to be clear, when you're driving a cab, there's
always a bathroom around. Shout out to that empty big
gold cup. It's not the issue you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
But just a word to the wise out there.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Those cabbies are not dumping out coffee at red lights.
Something out of my cab, out of town once they're like, wow,
the coffee must suck in this town. I always see
the cabbies dumping it out and I'm like, well about that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Look at the big golf and say he can have
some of that mountain joo.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, wow, you do not want that.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I love that you're here. I love that you're part
of the show. What do you tonight? What do you
What are you talking about tonight?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, it's it's in a lot of ways, it's big
box because what I try to do. Obviously, we got
these la Ice riots. Okay, you might not know this
about me, but I am like super supportive of law enforcement.
Everyone in my family is a cop. We NYPDA, both
my brothers, my dad, my uncle, nine of my cousins NYPDA.
I get well, I would have been a cop if
(07:15):
it weren't for this thing called a background check.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
They remember that a problem they told me about that.
I was like, thank you for your time, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
No, if you want to laugh, I actually got hired
by the NYPD and the Port Authority when I was young,
but I had already started comedy, and I was like,
I don't need your health care and your benefits. I'm
getting paid in onion rings at the ground ram times
like I've made it?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So I'm always talking about those primal issues first and
foremost because they.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Affect all of us.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know, you'd expect me, as a guy who hosts
a Fox News show to be a little right wing,
but I don't do a right wing conservative talk show.
I do an American talk show. There are certain things
we all have an investment in, and politics has a
way of blinding us to that reality. The cops matter,
the border matters, crime matters. I mean, think about right now.
You played a clip during the Big Three about how
(08:02):
they claimed that we were endangering people by sending in
the National Guard. No, No, endangering people is what's happening. They're
burning down businesses. People don't feel threatened if you're a
local business owner by the National Guard showing up.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
That's to them.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Finally, Okay, you feel threatened by the guy dumping gasoline
on your store. So in a lot of ways, there's
a broken compass in society, and I'm trying to be
that common denominator that kind of recalibrates the thing.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
That's what I do. I come on the air.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There's jokes, this goofy, I take shots at myself, but
I'm very much putting your vitamins in your apple sauce.
You know, you trick a kid into eating his vitamins
by putting them in apple sauce, and then he eats
them and he doesn't even know he digest them. That's
kind of how I distill hard news.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's so bring a spoon, that's great, that's Philosophy's I
also like that you're coming at this especially the stories
that are in the news nowadays. That a perspective of
someone who is from a cop family.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yes, big time cops, cabbies, and you see it like
I had no appreciation for what my brothers did until
I became a cab driver, you know, because you see
how primal that gig is. If there's a guy on
the corner of sixth Avenue with no pants on, swinging
a golf club at people, Okay, everybody yelling defund the
pl doesn't have to deal with that guy. The cops do.
(09:11):
They have to dive in and handle that guy. And
for me, it's awkward because he's got no pants on,
and I know Jeffrey Tuban, so I also have to weigh.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, we have a lot more of this to come.
Thanks so much for being here, Jimmy, and thanks for
joining the station. It means a lot to everybody here.
A Brooklyn staple that brought a taste of Italy to
benson Hurst for decades is closing its doors. Don't you
dare sorry, We'll help you say goodbye next and there
is still time to leave us a talkback. Leave one
(09:42):
for Jimmy, fail and win talk back of the morning.
Just go to seven to ten WR on the iHeartRadio
app and click the microphone and you could win. And
I know you want one of these, but we can't
give him to everybody. A limited edition MENTI in the
Morning T shirt.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Stop it to go with my Thong.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
In the Morning.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, yeah, I won that one. I disguise my voice,
but I did win it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I want to see it during the break. We're coming
right back.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Jimmy Fayla's here. Whoa from Fox News. He's also now
from WOR. His show Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayla
debuts on WR tonight from nine to midnight. I've heard
the show before. It is wonderful. If you love Jimmy Fayler,
you're gonna love the show tonight. I don't normally replay talkbacks,
(10:27):
but I really appreciate your talkbacks. If you want to
leave one, go to seven to ten WOR on the
iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and you're on the air.
But we had such Jimmy, we had an amazing Trump
in personate.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Oh, I love this, one of the best.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Ones I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know how everybody's a little affected when they do
Trump and they do it too big?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, they overcommit.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, this is a.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Guy that really wants an MENTI in the Morning T shirt, which,
by the way, everybody does.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And so here is his message.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Hey, Larry, this is your favorite president. I hear you
giving away big, beautiful Mente in the Morning T shirts.
What I want to donate some leftover Trump Musk T
shirts to you so you can get more listeners.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Good job.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
And if Caroline Levitt decides to leave to work for Fox,
I want to hire Jacqueline carl as my press secret.
Have your people call my people. Have a big, beautiful
day race.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Jacqueline's getting paid. I'm getting the now you are.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You've heard a lot of Trump impersonators. How good was that?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
That guy was actually better at impersonating a president than
Joe Biden was. I mean, take a bow whoever left
that talk back? Because it was the measured cadence of
how he did it. That really does set him apart,
because everybody who does the Trump really goes big. That
was a restrained Trump. Dare I say Susie Wilds in
(11:50):
the actual White House would appreciate that Trump. That was
a good thing for Trumps, Like, how do I get
that Trump. That guy could run twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yea doesn't have to. I love that thing. And somebody
could answer the phones for them.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
We'd journalist, Like that horse's name is really bothering me. Journalists,
I think, don't exist anymore. We have nothing but pundits
everywhere on every side the entire planet. I don't think
that one journalist exists. Get rid of the word because
(12:27):
we don't have those anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, we had, we had Donald Trump. Now we got
James Earld Jones.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah, I mean they're all here today. That's amazing. That
guy should be a talk show host.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And he says journalism is dead. Did he see my
report on the hot dog toppings in Times Square? Clearly
this is a man who's not casting a wide enough net.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
One.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
We did play a game called steakhouse or gay bar
on my show this past Saturday night. How dare you, sir?
How dare you? Okay, but that's funny. But he's right,
and it's, you know, sadly active.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Masquerading as journalists.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Now, that's what we have in mass media, and unfortunately
for them, okay, it's why they're losing at the rate
that they are to social media. You know, people trust
a local radio show. We talk to them every day,
we meet them, we bargain with them in good faith.
But at the national level you can see that everything
is filtered through the lens of how does this affect
national politics? Like you look at LA right now. LA's
(13:22):
literally on fire, and their bigger concern is how do
we pin this to Trump. That's not a guy telling
the story.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Excellent, Wow, that's gonna be on the show tonight, that
kind of stuff, that kind of insight.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
But not Natalie cutting me off. She won't be there
to do it. Oh no, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
That's her sign to me. I have to talk about
something else, like which I do. Want to talk about
Barry's pork.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You know Eighteenth Avenue, Eighteenth Avenue, your eighteenth Avenue. Now
he's passing it all the time in my cab.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It been there for like fifty years. It's now closing
its doors. No, it's not well because the neighborhood has changed.
You're not getting the same amount of customers. There's a
lot of Italians there. In the past, they ring stuff
in from Italy. They had the taste of Italy when
they were doing the story on Eyewitness News the other day.
It was it was amazing. The guy that runs the
store is Tony, and he pointed to a customer coming
(14:12):
in who was crying that it was going to close up.
And then listen to Tony at the end of.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
This look at him when he's eight years You know,
I've been coming to yet. You know, it's like a family.
I don't know, I can't do any more. Yeah, he
started crying too.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh that is rough man, because that is I mean,
the best of the best. And you know, people don't realize,
especially here in New York, how much a part of
a fabric of a community a place like that is,
you know, and it ties so many generations of people together.
I mean, think of how many times families we don't know,
thousands of them. Was that No, we're going down to Barry.
You know, that's a thing and it leaves the lexicon now.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
And it hurts when it leads.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Ah, it's tough.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I mean I haven't been allowed to go there since
I got a TV show, but obviously like no, I
love you.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
There open till June twenty.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Oh, we're gonna go, let's go.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
You should head over there.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Oh, well, I got to take off the ankle bracelet
though the wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Thank Let's go to Jacqueline Carl right now, the new
press secretary for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
At nine p thirty Jacqueline.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
President Trump says invoking the Insurrection Act is still on
the table in response to protests in Los Angeles. The
Act allows presidents to call on reserve or active duty
military to respond to civil unrest and states the authority
is not reviewable by the courts, though the president must
first request that participants disperse. And there's a protest planned
today in Lower Manhattan against President Trump's travelman that just
(15:38):
went into effect this morning.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Immigration advocates gathering at Fully Square to speak out against
Trump blocking people in twelve countries from entering the US
that includes Afghanistan, Iran, and Sudan. There is also a
partial travel ban now in effect for a handful of
other countries, including Cuba and Venezuela. This would have a
big impact on New York Haitian community. The head of
the New York Immigration Coalition as alls the band cruel
(16:01):
and a calculator to assault on immigrants. Trump says the
band's an effort to fight terrorism. I'm Skafpringle WRDWS.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
So we all know there are some people who need
profile picture help, especially with dating apps. So, according to Mainchi,
a special event in Tokyo recently helped middle aged men
tackle better selfies for dating apps. The workshop, led by
love and marriage consultant Kikunos, taught single men in their
(16:28):
forties and fifties how to improve their photos. She shared
easy tips like using good lighting to avoid yellow tones
that can make skin look dull. She'll also advised smiling
and taught the men which angles are best in order
to find love. You know what they really need. They
just need some gen zs to help. We should all
be assigned one because they know the angles. My god,
(16:50):
the lighting in the angles.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's like from birth.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
They came up out of the womb and they're like,
hold on, get.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
That big light out of Just move it a little.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
To the left and I'm just going to take a
picture because I watched them and they know their stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So Jimmy Fayla and his MENTI in the morning thong
that he should take that down.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yes, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
It just depends on who he's trying to attract.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Jacqueline that's Hold on a second.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There's a lot of there's a lot of chubby chasers
out there, there is. Can I tell you something I
performed Friday night in Reno? Yeah, okay, I signed four
pairs of breasts and some of these guys were good looking,
some of these right.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
I mean, it just depends on your taste.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Thank you. Let's head over to Wall Street. The opening bell.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
All right, So the DAL opened down nine points, the
S and P opened up two points, and the Nasdaq
opened up thirty points.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Thanks so much, Jacque lincarl Letitia James is warning New
Yorkers not to vote for Andrew Cuomo for governor, and
she played the race card. We'll talk about that with
associate editor of the New York Sun, Aery Hoffman, who
is in Israel.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Next, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
We're so happy to have Jimmy Fayla from Fox News
with us. It was here with a hand tomaraw Carsev.
And when you talk, she keeps shaking her head and
taking notes.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
That's that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
She's sends me her a minute by minute accounting back
to Fox headquarters. And basically, this is going to determine
how many vaults are in the taser before I do
my show today.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
If it's a two thousand day, it's going to be
a good show.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I feel like it's it energizes you know, you don't
need a red volt when you get treated like you
got caught counting cards in a Vegas can see a
little zapp.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You keep bringing this up.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's a thing. I wasn't counting cards.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
No, I was just gambling, so like I was in
for instance, I was in Reno this weekend. Just landing
in Reno is gambling. Okay, whether you go to a
casino or not, you have taken your life into your
own hands. In twenty seconds? Can I do this so fast?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I was. This is a real story. Tomorrow knows this.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I was going into a hotel in Reno and the
cops were actually hogtying a woman who had been arrested.
She had her hands handcuffed to he feet, and she
looked up at me and goes, Jimmy fail, I love
your show.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
That's a real, though real story.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Now let's get out to Ariy Hoffman. Put Ariy Hoffman's
in Israel?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Is he ever?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
He's doing like real work, and we're taking.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Up his time, so you deserve better.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm an associate editor of the New York But.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Listen, you're in a safer place as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Well, I I didn't know if the if the yah
if reda thumber yacht selfie was going to make a
stop in Rena.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But what are you doing in Israel? Is this a
pleasure or or low business?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
This is a This is a reporting trip. You know, obviously,
lots going on here, and uh I cover a lot
of the legal elements of things, so you know, thinking
about you know, the war, thinking about some of the
justice reforms on tap here, Lots going on with the
internal domestic political situation. So it's always there's always a
(19:59):
lot to you here and put you know, the beach
of Televison and Jenavan, two bad guys.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
He buried the lead on that report. By the way,
he buried the lead. Ari joins us from the swim
up Bar.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Hey, Ari, I want to play something for you because
I know you've covered Letitia James a lot, and she
came out on a podcast the last couple of days
talking about Andrew Cuomo. I know they're not friends, but
I thought this went a little far and I'd love
you to comment on it.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
Progress requires that we look forward and that we not
go backwards, and that people of color, particularly African Americans,
understand that he's criticized me, criticized Barack Obama, criticized David Patterson,
and criticized the Speaker of the State Assembly, Carl Hasty.
And what do we all have in common? We're all
(20:52):
people of color.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
WHOA, So what do you make of that area?
Speaker 11 (20:57):
Oh? No, absolutely, you know there was that old line
from the Obama when they go low, we go high,
and this is, you know, we go subterranean. I mean,
this is really just know obviously playing the race card.
This is something we've seen Fonnie Willis in Fulton County,
do you know, towards her critics such that you know,
she was disqualifying from her prosecution of Donald Trump down
(21:19):
in Georgia. You know, the other thing that Letitia James
said in that interview was that Clomo has his eyes
on the twenty twenty eight presidency. So you know, there's
no doubt that, you know, Letitia James, he just hates
Clobo to his core, clearly is exercised by his leading
the polls, and you know is trying to put her
hand on the on the scale for for really anyone else.
(21:42):
She supports Adrian Adams, so one gets the sense that
it doesn't much matter to her as long as it's
not in como.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah, I'm fair.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm no fan of obviously Letitia James and that commentary.
It's obviously so intellectually lazy and reductive because it requires
you to pretend Clomo has and picked a fight with
any white politicians and to be clear, and to be clear, Okay,
he's obviously not discriminating because his COVID policies killed people
from every background. Okay, that's the joy of Andrew Cromo.
(22:13):
But I agree with Letitia James on one thing. Ari
he does want to run in twenty twenty eight because
Cuomo thinks those MAGA hats stand for make America Grope again,
thinks he's got a shop.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
You know, there's an unfinished family or family business. But
you know the hypocrisy of that. Remember in the debate,
you know, it came up that Zorah Mandani are a
very own homegrown socialist, you know, had called Barack Obama evil, Right,
I mean, so, so this idea that somehow at place
You know, guys, I just don't think invoking the name
Barack Obama has the same residents do you know. I
(22:45):
think they're kind of diminishing returns on playing that card.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, talk about what's going on out in LA and
what is happening here in New York as well of
calling in the National Guard. There are people that are
saying it's unconstitutional, and I don't understand that at all.
I thought the National Guard could be used by the
President of the United States in situations like this.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
What is your understanding on that.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
It is, after all, called the National Guard, right, and
the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. Listen.
I think some of the images we've seen out of
out of LA, people flying forget the Mexican flag, you know,
walking around with Hamas armbands flying, you know, terrorist group flags,
not an American.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Flag site by the way, not an American flag insite.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
No, unless maybe it was burning. But you know, just really,
you know, couldn't couldn't really be better in a way
for President Trump's argument that that sort of mature leadership
or just adult leadership is needed. You know, Gavin Newsom
has been a study in efficacy and then we have
another and maybe would be Governor of California, Kamala Harris
(24:00):
calling the protest mostly peaceful. You know, it's like it's
like we're back in twenty twenty, you know, and I'm
cowering inside my apartment in New York while you know
it's wrong as the rioting in the streets, and we're
being told that those were peaceful as well.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, it's crazy. Kamala, though, resurfaces I think every ten days,
just to make Americans appreciate their.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Vote for Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Like I think, honestly, Ari, he might be kicking her
cash at this point because Kamala does this thing.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It's so successful for me.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
As a broadcaster on Fox New Saturday night, we play
a game called wine or Pills where we play Kamala's
clip of the week and we're like, what do you
think she was on?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Winder pills? And the audience usually says both.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But the point is, there is no greater surrogate for
Donald Trump than the modern Democratic Party. Absolutely, and it
really speaks to the desperation of politics that Newsom wants
to become a president so badly he's now campaigning for
the Mexican job.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Clearly clearly.
Speaker 11 (24:57):
Well, you know, it's really kind to think of, you know,
if anyone has fomo, you know, fear of missing out,
there's no better antidotes than Kamala Harris opening up her
mouth up and you know, field kind of rapidly coming
together where we have the you know, between Andrew Cuomo
and and Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I mean you know that, Yeah, yeah, I you know,
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I must have missed that story. Kamala Harris is eyeing
the good nitorial spot in California.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Yeah, there's a lot of talk that that's her next move.
You know, she's kind of hanging out at home, you know,
having the I'm sure the Napa Valley's finest seen on war,
looking around, looking around, and you know that job is
going to be open with with with Gavin term limited,
(25:49):
you know, and and I mean good luck to him.
That's all I have to say.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Harry Hoffman, Associate editor of the New York Sun, ariy,
try to enjoy your trip a little bit. I know
you're working, but Israel is really just a gorgeous place.
When we come back, we'll have a recap of today's show,
and I'm not gonna do final thoughts. Today, Jimmy is
going to do the final thoughts and we'll also have
the talk back of the morning. Our iHeartRadio Music Festival
(26:18):
is back and you can win your way in before

twentieth at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, two nights,

Your next chance to win happens at one o'clock. Now
(26:41):
my final thoughts. Here's Jimmy Fayla's final thoughts.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Hot Damn New York.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
First and foremost, it is a high honor to be
joining ther Airwaves tonight at nine pm Eastern. What's in
it for you the listener? If you stick with the
show for nine hours or three hours, it's three hours,
it's gonna feel longer.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
If you stick with the show for three hours, you
will go home tonight believing you two could get a
nationally syndicated talk Okay. My superpower in New York is
the fact that I don't have one. I'm a regular guy. Okay,
I always say this about my appearances at Fox. I'm
surrounded like Jesse Waters is a TV star. I look
like the guy who installed your TV. Okay, that's the hook.
(27:20):
But to give you some entree into my life, I
grew up in Lovetown on Long Island. I became a
New York City cab driver after I don't mean to
pistol whip you guys with my academic prosperity, but I
did go to Nasau Community College and major in Supernintendo.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Not you guys.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, if you guys ever need help rescuing a princess
and killing a few turtles, I'm your guy. But I'm
not here to save democracy.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I was driving two G thirty four. That's my medallion.
It's still out on the roads to this day. I
was listening to talk radio, and I was essentially an
affordable therapist for my passengers. Because people get in and
they know they're never going to see you again, so
they dump their love life on you. They dump their
political views. But here's the thing, nobody tells them, you
do see them again. Okay, and now the guy who
gets back in, who was in the cab on the
way to LaGuardia last week, tell me about how he
(28:00):
likes to dress up on a Viking helmet and get
spent with a gi Joe is suddenly your passenger for
forty minutes, and you got to act like everything's fine.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So I'm gonna give you news.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I'm going to give you politics, but you're gonna get
it through the lens of a cab driver. Just an
entry level perspective. Okay, do I have thirty seconds to
tell the Hannity story?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So I started out in the cab. I was obviously
listening to wor I was doing stand up comy at night.
I was driving eighty four. I was weak doing stand
up at night. I was the guy who would go
on before the guy you've actually heard of. Well, the
end of the month, I'll be now co headlining with
Sean Hannity, who's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So I was flying out to Pittsburgh with Tamara about
three weeks ago. Woman gets on the plane named Wendy
and goes, Oh my god, what are the odds I
just bought your book in the airport. You're on my plane.
What are the odds you gotta sign my book? I'm like, Oh,
that's crazy. Wendy, Yeah, give me the book because I
started writing it. She goes, you know, I didn't know
who you were till I started watching Sean Hannity. I
love Sean Hannity. I've known him for thirty years. I've
watch him for thirty years. What are the odds? And
if she's talking to me about what are the odds,
(28:53):
Hannity calls me on my phone.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
So I show her my phone. I go, what are
the odds? And she's like, oh my god, I.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Go, you know this means the plane's crashing now right,
like the odds are insane. But anyway, Hannity may Wendy
tonight WR. I couldn't be happier. It's going to be
a banger.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I cannot wait.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Let's go, Wenn.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes Boston radio host Howie
Carr and big special guest, the host of Fox Across
the Meat, Jimmy Fayla, Now on seven to ten WR,
weeknights from nine to midnight.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
We are keeping you busy here today.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah, I don't appreciate you calling me a big guest.
Leave my weight out of.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Them, like I come on, well, come on now, a
recap of today's show White House. Correspondent for The Daily Caller,
Reagan Reeves says that White House is confident in their
decision to send in help for the LAPD officers dealing
with the anti ice protests.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
They're very confident in the fact that LA needs the
National Guard. I think the mainstream media is going to
try to downplay the violence in Los Angeles and make
this seem like a completely irrational move from the President.
But the American people just can look for their own
eyes and see that these are violent, fiery protests.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Legend darry sportscaster Warner Wolf thanks a French Open final
battle between two young stars could mark the end for
one of tennis's greatest athletes.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
It was the best match I've ever seen, and as
long as twenty three year old Janick Sinner and twenty
two year old Carlos Algarez or around. I'm afraid the
thirty eight year old Novak Djokovic has won his last
major and he's going to retire.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Award winning journalist Mike Kelly believes that the race for
governor of New Jersey already has a clear favorite.
Speaker 13 (30:42):
I think the Democrats are trying to find themselves Republicans.
You're absolutely right. I've been listening to your commentary earlier
this morning. I think it's Jack Chittarelli's race to lose,
not only in the primary, but I will walk even
farther than this and say I think it's Jack Chitdarelli's
race to lose in November.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
New wo R host Jimmy Fella doesn't live in New Jersey,
but he believes he's done enough to have some say
in the next governor.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
A man, I've invested so much money in the state
of New Jersey via Atlantic City blackjack tables, I feel
like I should be allowed to vote. Okay, everybody talks
about that time they lost a lot of money. I'm like,
don't talk to you about losing money. So you're putting
on a blond wig and walking before walk in a
pair of high heels to make back bus money to
get to New York.
Speaker 5 (31:28):

has a statement on journalism in our country.
Speaker 7 (31:42):

I think don't exist anymore. We have nothing but pundits
everywhere on every side the entire planet. I don't think
that one journalist exists. Get rid of the word because

we don't have those anymore. Well, that's a pretty fast horse.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's really good. Coming up tomorrow and MENTI in the morning.
It's primary day in New Jersey. We'll bring you all
the latest updates. We'll be joined by White House correspondent
John Decker, former New York City Council Minority leader Joe Borelli,

Post entertainment columnist Johnny Olegzinski with the latest Tony Award news.

of your day, and be sure to tune in to
Jimmy Fela tonight from nine to midnight. Now here's the news.
