Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were waking up with many in the morning seven
ten w.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Thanks for being with us this morning. Just a reminder
be careful. Yesterday there's a heat advisory, so take proper precautions.
In the Big Three. Columbia agrees to pay two hundred
and twenty million dollars to resolve an investigation and accusations
by the Trump administrations into the university's anti Semitic policies.
(00:28):
That's what the Trump administration called them, That's what they
were investigating. This is really smart by Columbia to get
out of this because it was just going to be
bad publicity ahead. And this way, by the way, they
save billions of dollars in federal funding, because the other
side of that is the Trump administration is now going
to release four hundred million dollars to start, and then
(00:51):
every year after that it's four hundred, five hundred, six
hundred millions, So we're talking about billions of dollars. Very
smart by Columbia. I hope other Ivy League schools and
other colleges across the country follows suit. The race for
New York governor has become a little bit clearer, as
we speculated yesterday, Republican Congressman Mike Lawler's decision not to
(01:13):
run for governor. That did come as we said, we
thought it happened. It did a little nudge from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
He did, you know, offer that he obviously wanted me
to stay in Congress and how important my seat is
to the House majority. I weighed that as I made
my decision, but ultimately this was my decision.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, there's a lot of balls in the air here.
First of all, they have to keep that seat, and
it's better for him to run for Congress and keep
that seat because without him it's a toss up district. Also,
they made a promise to Alice Stephonic and it clears
the field for her. They made a promise to her
if she stepped down as the nominee for the UN ambassador,
(01:58):
then they would pay her back by supporting her running
for governor. And so that's what's happening. A lot of
things happening in this one. In Idaho, Brian Koberger is
sentenced to life without parole for the killing of four
college students, and the families of the victims got to
(02:18):
face him face to face.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
We had to stare down and he's just filled with demons.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
He's dark pits of eyes and there's there's something seriously
wrong with that man.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, there is two competing scandals. First, Obamagate, with classified
documents showing the Obama administration was behind the push of
the Russian collusion hoax to try and hurt the incoming
president Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
This is truly one of the greatest political scandals in
American history. And reporters at legacy outlets, some of which
are sitting in this room today, like The New York
Times in the Washington Post, were ridiculously awarded Politzer Prizes
for their perpetuation of this hoax. It's well pastime for
those awards to be stripped from the journalists who receive them.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, the Polletzrer people lose all credibility if they don't
ask for them back. And even though Congress is going
on a five week recess, that doesn't mean the congressional
call among MAGA Republicans for release of the Epstein files
are going away anytime soon.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
So if anybody thinks that this is going to go
away because the House left the day earlier or something,
it's got to be like those zombies in The Walking Dead,
every time you think you've killed it, another one's just
going to come running out of the closet after you.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And again, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is down in
Florida right now. We found that out when we talked
to Brad Garrett, the ABC Terrorism and Security analyst. He
says he's down there right now to talk to Julane Maxwell,
who knows everything. She was the right hand person for
(03:56):
Jeffrey Epstein. And now let's get to doctor Arthur Kaplan,
professor of bioethics at New York University Land Going Medical Center.
He's with us every Thursday at this time. Good morning, doctor,
Hey are you I'm doing well.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
The first thing we wanted to talk about was gen
Z and the blank stare. Now, look, I have a
gen Zer in my home. I'm well aware of the
blank stare, and I'm well aware of what they say
it is. To me, it's something completely different. But what
does research say, why is this happening?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Well, nobody really knows. There's some speculation, real research that
if you spend a lot of time in front of screens,
you kind of develop a i'm gonna call it a
game pace for your computer. And you're used to seeing
all kinds of messages and information come by, but you
don't have to react because you know it's coming to you.
(04:54):
But it's not interactive in terms of facial cues. You're
typing in the answer, you're maybe speaking an answer, but
for a lot of it, you're not really going back
and forth, so you lose your signaling, if that makes sense.
On the other hand, I'm going to add one other thing.
I don't know about you, Larry, but I had a
(05:16):
pretty good gen Z face when my parents were talking
to me.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Absolutely, That's where I was going with it. I think
we love the blame gen Z for problems that have
been existing forever. You're right, I get that stare all
the time. It has nothing to do with the fact
that their gen Z. It has nothing to do with
the computer because they talk back and forth on the
computer all the time. They react to that. It's because
they don't really care what I have to say.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Yeah, soo worse. They think we're idiots, right, why would
you bother to say any would look pay attention or
react it all. It's like, okay, old person, yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, we've all gotten the gen Z stare for decades,
so I don't think this is anything new, but I
think we love to attack this generation.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
I agree with you. I agree with you. It's sort
of like, you know what it is. It's the teenage stare.
We all know what that is. They're rolling their eyes,
they're looking.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I mean, come on, there, you go. Listen. I'm dreading
this next story because I don't exercise enough, and I
know I should, and I have no excuse, but I've
been told over and over again you just have to
get out and walk a little bit. Just just get up,
get outside and walk. And I always make excuses. But
now you have a magic number of steps you're supposed
(06:37):
to take every day.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Well, the old number was ten thousand steps, and I
think a lot of people may have heard of that
study came out today saying you don't need ten thousand steps.
By the way, ten thousand steps about five and a
half miles. That would be a lot to walk every day,
and at an average pace, you'd have to walk for
two hours.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
And I was just talking to an alley about this.
You know where the ten thousand steps comes from. I'm
not making this up. It was the name of a
company that sold what do they call them, petty monitors?
You know, counted your steps in Japan in the nineteen sixties.
It wasn't attached to any science. It was an advertising
(07:23):
or marketing name for a company that wanted you to
count your steps. That's it, end of story. So there's
no demonstration that you got to hit that amount of walking.
I think it discourages people. I think people give up
or they just say, you know, like you and me, Larry, Well,
I can't go that far, so I'll do nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
What's wrong with that? I don't understand the problem with that.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
But well, I'll tell you what science knows and medicine.
Any walking is good. Any walking is good. I keep
saying instead to go by and they say things like
ten minutes of exercise actually shows improvement for your heart health.
I mean walking is good for you. It gets your
whole body involved. You get kind of a peace of
(08:09):
mind when you're walking, take yourself away from your problems.
So it's mental health as well as physical health. I'm
gonna comment, walk as far as you can when you
can try to do it, you don't have to worry
about ten thousand steps seven thousand steps. Just do some movement.
The other thing I think that people under value in
(08:30):
half a while is weight training. It's very good if
you can, you know, lift small amounts of weights. I
do it sometimes just sitting at my desk when I'm
on the phone watching a talk or a lecture or something,
you know, just to pick up the light, dumbells. Any
exercise is good for you.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, I don't understand why I don't do it. I
don't have I don't have an excuse, and I just
don't do it. But you know, I'll learn my lesson
very fast. Doctor Arthur Kaplan, professor of Ethics at New
York University lend Going Medical Center, is with us every
Thursday at this time, Doctor, thanks so much for spending time.
(09:09):
Oh no, absolutely, that was pretty fascinating. But yeah, the
gen Z stare, I don't buy into it all. I
gave that stare to my parents. We didn't even consider
us gen Z at the time.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
I think I still stare people that way. But I'm
so thrilled about this ten thousand steps because it is
really difficult to hit that mark every day, and it
used to frustrate me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, it was a step too far. You know what
I mean. It was about five thousand steps too far exactly.
So when you heard it, you're going to I'm just
gonna sit home and eat cheetos. A tourist got trapped
in a garage full of robotaxis. This isn't this is
not fantasy. This is, honest to God, happened. No humans
in San Francisco find out what the passengers did, and
(09:55):
they want to bring these to New York. Yeah, they're coming.
We'll tell you exactly what we meet. It all makes sense.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
Next sevenor menty in mind.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
All right, it's talkback time. You've been so great today,
even though a lot of people came after me because
of the Epstein file stuff. But that's fine. We can disagree.
I'm never not going to play a talkback because you
disagree with me. In fact, I like them. Now let's
get to your talkbacks. The final three of today that
(10:28):
will be in contention for not only the MENTI in
the Morning t shirt that goes to the talkback of
the day, but also for the Sea Crane radio that
goes in for the talkback of the week that'll be
given away tomorrow.
Speaker 11 (10:40):
MENTI, I don't believe you to be a hypocrite. You
have a right to your opinion. It's valid. However, Republicans
are supposed to be the party of common sense. Common
sense says don't touch little children, so Republicans should have
nothing to worry about. Democrats, on the hand, they're a
(11:00):
party of crazies and anyone who touches a child should
be out. And I don't care who they are.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's just a fact.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, except that you know, most of the people in
this country expect the trial. And when you don't give
a trial and nobody's been convicted and you just release
their names, you're in legal jeopardy. I think that's what's
behind not releasing this. It's embarrassing, though I agree with you,
it's embarrassing.
Speaker 12 (11:27):
What's the point talking about Obama, Gates, Epsteine files. We'll
never get the truth. We'll never see anybody actually get
held accountable for their injustices. The government is just against us.
They are both sides. You pick the lesser two evils
or just the ponds on the chessboard use to move
(11:48):
the bigger playing pieces. We might as well talk about
meatball recipes and cash videos.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I understand that frustration. Do you notice everybody involved in
govern gets richer, and as they get richer, we get poorer.
How does that happen? How does that work out?
Speaker 13 (12:06):
I have.
Speaker 14 (12:07):
A good meatball recipe. If anybody wants one, you know.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Everybody wants one, I'll pass it over to you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You gotta post that.
Speaker 15 (12:15):
I'm sorry, man, nothing's going to happen to the Democrats.
They got like diplomatic community, they like teflon. Look what
Hillary done with all those classified files. Nobody will press charges.
Biden had documents in his garage where anybody who walking
to take them? Oh, that's okay, listen, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Move on.
Speaker 15 (12:33):
Trump is getting so much done. Now once again, where's
my radio?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
He calls? He's been trying so hard. He can we
make a plea? Can can we say something to the
committee that this poor guy calls every week and just
wants his radio. So anyway, this story about WEIMO, which
by the way, is going to be coming to New
York WAIMO or driverless tax, and they've had them in
(13:01):
San Francisco, that's where they started them first. But they
keep running into problems because it hasn't been perfected yet apparently,
and we had a story. I think it was in
San Francisco a few months back, where the same thing happened,
and it happened again. Apparently, way Moo just looks for
the fastest route and no matter what, and so if
(13:21):
it sees a way to get from street to street,
you may end up in a parking lot.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
I'm in San Francisco and I need to get to
the convention Center. On the way to the convention center,
Waymo goes road and decides to turn into this multi
level parking garage and in it are hundreds of waymos.
I'm the only person in the car. Every other car
is driverless.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
No, that's like a movie. That's a nightmare. That's horrible.
That was a funny name, Darren Finding finding finding his
last name. But yeah, he pulled that, and I guess
some other people said similar things have happened to them
with Waimo. Thank god we weren't the test city. Let
(14:09):
San Francisco be the test city.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
My car decides to go up multi levels until it
decides to park on its own. I realized I can
push a button and get a representative. The representative tells
me this never happens, but she's going to override the
waimo to try to get wayme back on trap and
eventually she is successful.
Speaker 14 (14:31):
Well, well, so there's the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I mean, I've been in a cab where we drove
up into a snow bank and he got stuck and
I just got out and got another cab.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, that you love. Of course, you can't just jump
out of a way moo, you know what I mean. Yeah, no,
until it's yeah, when it stops, you can. Yeah, once
it stops, you can. But you know, when you're on
the eighth floor of a parking garage, it's very difficult
to get another ride. Although there are other waimo's there.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, who could crash into you if you as you
walk down eight levels?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
And a preset On the iHeartRadio app for seven to
ten war.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Here Larry Minty and all the WR hosts instantly now
back to Minty in the morning on woor Well, who
doesn't love Billy Joel. I don't think anybody dislikes Billy Joe.
I think everybody knows a Billy Joel's song that is
important in their lives and loves it. Most people can
(15:31):
name almost every one of his hit songs. I would
put him up there with Paul McCartney as the most loved,
the most loved singer songwriters in the country. Yeah, very
very American, very very much a part of our history.
And when you hear his story, you understand that this
(15:55):
was completely unlikely that his talent guided him to this.
He had so many falls, so many tragedies in his
life to get where he is as one of the
most love singers in the country with an album bigger
than an album, album's full of huge hits. And that's
(16:18):
why he is so fascinating. And right now there is
a docu series on HBO Max. Steve Cohen is Billy
Joel's longtime creative director, trusted collaborator, and most importantly, he
is an unconditional friend. He has been a close friend
of Billy Joel for fifty years, so there's nobody better
(16:42):
to be the executive producer of his latest documentary film,
Billy Joel and So It Goes Now. This premiered at
the Tribeca Film Festival on June fourth. It airs right now.
Part one dropped on July eighteenth, so you can watch
that right now on HBO Max, and then tomorrow night
is part two, and we talked to Steve Cohen about
(17:05):
the project. Steve, by the way, first of all, congratulations
on the project. It's it's for Billy Joel fans like
myself and that, you know, saying you're a fan of
Billy Joel's like saying you're a fan of their everybody is.
But to see what made him and who he is
and the man that he is is important to all
of us. That being said, I think everybody is concerned
(17:29):
about how he's doing right now. Could you fill us
in on his health.
Speaker 13 (17:34):
Yeah, he's doing good. He he's home and doing you know,
what he needs to do to treat this condition, and
he's you know, super positive. He's with his kids, and
I get to see him quite regularly because we live
(17:54):
a few minutes from each other in Florida. And Yeah,
he's doing really good. I'm doing really, really good.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That's wonderful to hear. It is interesting when you know
somebody so well and then you were the executive producer
of telling their story and showing their life, and especially
because so much of this is very personal, were there
any things during the process where Billy said to you, no, no, no,
(18:21):
we can't do that.
Speaker 16 (18:22):
We can't show this, No, he basically said, when he
decided to do this, you know, there was a lot
of reluctance to do a documentary over the years because,
in his words, you know, my life is in my songs.
Speaker 13 (18:36):
You don't need me to talk about it. I don't
need to tell you the story. And I think what
changed his mind was a combination of, you know, the
timing where he was in his life, the filmmaker Susan
Lacey and Jessica Levin, and the way Susan has portrayed
artists lives in documentary filmmaking was very intriguing to him.
(18:56):
And also the fact that you know, we we were
winding down the Madison Square Garden run and he felt
comfortable enough to allow someone else to tell the story.
And all he ever said to Susan was just be honest.
And one of the interesting conversations after he said that
(19:16):
was where I pointed out to him, Look, you know,
being honest means we you know, on top of it,
we have nothing to say and what's eventually going to
be in that movie? And he said, I got nothing
to hide. So I think I think that's a telling
statement about who Billy is that he's never withheld this
stuff on purpose. He just he wanted you to make
(19:37):
stuff up in your in your mind of what these
songs meant, so he didn't tell you what to think.
And I think what's interesting about this film now is
by pulling back the curtain or lifting the hood, as
I say, behind the backstories of some of these things,
it gives a new appreciation to the lyrics and a
new appreciation to the experience behind those songs. And and
(20:00):
I think that's a gift. I think he's given us
another gift. So it's pretty cool. It's it's pretty cool
to be able to look back and do this stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, and it's pretty cool for all of us to
be able to look behind the curtain and see him
because he is such a regular guy. He's always come
off to everybody as just a regular guy. But at
the same time, he's this genius. And first of all,
it's got to be strange for you to be around.
You're used to it now, but to realize, here's a
guy that I'm around all the time and he's got
(20:29):
this other side to him that's a genius. But now
for us to be able to see how those two
things come together is great. It's very important for his fans,
and I'm sure that was very important for you to
show where this came from.
Speaker 13 (20:45):
Yeah, I mean, I you know, we all knew because
you know, we're with him. We watch we watched, you know,
this kind of ordinary guy give birth to these extraordinary
pieces of art, and he's extraordinarily emotional pieces of music.
Where does it come from? You know, we also hung
out with him when it was you know, during the
(21:07):
difficult gestation periods of all of this stuff. So you know,
to tell that story, like I said, is a gift,
uh that that we got to ourselves and a gift
that we get to give, you know, the fans. But
I think to me, the greatest part about this is that,
you know, at the end of the day, Billy always
(21:27):
wanted to be a history teacher. And if if you know,
he's able to to teach something and make people think
about things, I think that he feels like there's a
little bit bigger layer on on what he does because
to him, he's you know, it's a golf swing. It's
like I sit down and these things come to me
and I and I create this stuff and I worked
(21:49):
very hard at it. But but he's Uh, it's sort
of like he doesn't think about it too much, you
know what I mean, There's no, he doesn't. He doesn't
like to break all this stuff down because he believes
that it's very ephemeral and then it's very fragile and
if you if you try and figure it out, it'll
slip out of your hands. So all of that being
(22:10):
shown in this documentary is really what I think is
the essence of the storytelling very.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Few things that a good friend doesn't know about someone
and you are the best of friends with him. Is
there something in the documentary that you saw that you
didn't know? No, that's a pretty out question. And do
we get to see where all these songs come from
(22:35):
in the documentary?
Speaker 13 (22:37):
Oh? Yeah, I mean you get to see you get
to see they're specific. There's about a half dozen one
that they do that the filmmakers do a deep dive in.
But you get that, you get the essence of the
motivations behind all the music, especially the classical training and
the classical background. And you know the fact that he
writes about uh writes about his relationships with others, So
you you get you get a lot of knowledge of
(23:00):
about the origin of these stories.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, thanks so much for spending time with us. I
really appreciated Steve Cohen, executive producer his latest documentary film,
Billy Joel and So It Goes. Thanks a lot, Steve,
Thanks a lot. That is Steve Cohen, Billy's Joel's longtime
creative director, trusted collaborator, and most importantly, he has been
an unconditional friend, a close friend of Billy Joel for
(23:24):
fifty years. He was telling us every time they have
to do an interview, he said, Okay, let's do it
at your house and they all go over there and
they film it over there.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Do you really think his house is better than Billy's house.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Or does he want to clean up?
Speaker 15 (23:37):
Yah?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
What's going on? Of course he doesn't want the crew
in his house. It's like his castle. He doesn't want
people tramping around us. Media types are Slovs, so he
doesn't want us in there.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Here's the thing you get from the documentary that I
think is the most important part. You see his life
and then you understand the songs. I mean, the songs
are personal to each one. We internalize every song, but
they're based on what he went through on his life
and especially there was a bad He had a bad breakup,
(24:10):
as we all know, and he wrote about that, and
he wrote about his family at the time. It's extremely
personal and I hope you get to see it. The
documentary is Billy Joel and So it goes. It premiered
at the Tribeca Film Festival that was June fourth, and
now it airs on HBO Max. Part one is already
up there. Part two comes tomorrow night. I encourage you
(24:33):
all to watch it. If you're a Billy Joel fan,
it is a must watch. When we come back, my
final thoughts, a recap of today's show, and of course
the talk back of the morning.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
It's Minty in the Morning on seven ten wor Now
with some final thoughts.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Here's Larry.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I bring this up with much trepidation, but no matter
how mad you get at me, I still don't understand
the MAGA obsession with the Epstein files. I get that
you're disappointed, so am I. Donald Trump and several people
in the administration promise the release of the files, and
not releasing them is embarrassing for them. I believe what
(25:15):
happened is they see legal jeopardy ahead in releasing the
names of people who have not been prosecuted, people with
a whole lot of money and resources. The Justice Department
attorneys undoubtedly warned the Trump administration that they were headed
for a legal quagmire. Again embarrassing, but we need to
(25:36):
look at the bigger picture. Have you noticed the Democrats
have jumped on this issue and have joined the renegade
maga podcasters and social media warriors. They never cared about
the Epstein files before, but now this Trump embarrassment hides
all their failures and stymi's Donald Trump moving forward. Suddenly
(26:01):
they're now all in on hearings and an investigation, not
because they believe in transparency, not because they care about
the victims, but because they want to extend the embarrassment
for Donald Trump. And it's worked. Of course, it's working
with the mainstream media at their beck and call. Of
course it works. The story's just dominated the news. Trump
(26:23):
has so many accomplishments in such a short time, and
every week he adds to that resume. I'm warning again,
you're hurting all of that, and you're doing the work
of the Democrats. I know you get upset at me
when I say this, but this is bad and It's
only going to get worse. Don't shoot the messenger who
(26:44):
agrees with you but sees that your obsession is a
way of derailing our goal. Remember what our goal is
to make America great again? Remember now Some, I'm sorry
about that. Now we have to go for Mark Some Now.
Coming up next to Mark Simone, he welcomes economist Steve
Moore and wor host of Fox Across America, Jimmy Faila.
(27:06):
Plus listen for the keyword after the ten o'clock news,
then head to seven to ten wr dot com for
your chance at one thousand dollars. Now a recap of
today's show. Retired NYPD detective and security expert Michael Sapracone
is pushing back against Assemblyman Zorhanmamdanni's proposals for how police
should respond to mental illness and crime.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
We can't replace police with social workers.
Speaker 15 (27:32):
It will just never work.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
So many years of working in the subway or in
the police department where I've seen things simple domestic situations
or homeless people go bad within a matter of seconds
and it can't always be solved with a social worker.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Political commentator Laura Karran believes that Representative Mike Lawler's time
might come eventually, just like how Elie Staphonic is now.
Speaker 14 (27:58):
I guess Elease is the golden at least Aphonic against
Hochel and is interesting that Trump made that call. And
I'm sure Lawler is disappointed because he sees an opportunity,
but Heylis Staphonic had to take the l on the
UN ambassadorship, so trust the plan.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
ABC News Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett does not
believe that Julaine Maxwell will cooperate with investigators in regards
to her work with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 17 (28:27):
To be able to do what she's been convicted of,
to be able to do that year after year, and
I don't think have an issue with it tells you
a lot about her as a person, and I think
she's shrewd enough that and through her attorneys, she's not
going to give up the ship until she has some
guarantees about getting out of jail.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
W L. R.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
White House correspondent John Decker believes, despite the wishes of
Donald Trump, the Jeffrey Epstein's story is not going to
leave the headlines.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
There's a drip, drip, drip element to this story. Every
day there's a new wrinkle to the Epstein case. And
you know, I think that's a frustrating thing for President Trump,
who would like certainly to be talking about other things.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
And the talk back of the morning and winner of
the Mentee in the Morning, t Shirt has her own
thoughts on the Epstein files.
Speaker 18 (29:17):
The reason Epstein files need to be released is because
they said they would be released. Transparency is everything. Personally,
I don't give a flying petuit about them one way
and over, but he said he would do it. They
have to be released because transparency is everything.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Then move on to Obama flying petuit. It's the term
of the day. And don't forget the best talkback of
the week, take Home Takes Home a sea Crane Radio

Speak of the Devil, joins us at seven thirty five

We'll also hear from WR newsmac's political commentator Rob Astorino

You were waking up with many in the morning seven
ten w.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Thanks for being with us this morning. Just a reminder
be careful. Yesterday there's a heat advisory, so take proper precautions.
In the Big Three. Columbia agrees to pay two hundred
and twenty million dollars to resolve an investigation and accusations
by the Trump administrations into the university's anti Semitic policies.
(00:28):
That's what the Trump administration called them, That's what they
were investigating. This is really smart by Columbia to get
out of this because it was just going to be
bad publicity ahead. And this way, by the way, they
save billions of dollars in federal funding, because the other
side of that is the Trump administration is now going
to release four hundred million dollars to start, and then
(00:51):
every year after that it's four hundred, five hundred, six
hundred millions, So we're talking about billions of dollars. Very
smart by Columbia. I hope other Ivy League schools and
other colleges across the country follows suit. The race for
New York governor has become a little bit clearer, as
we speculated yesterday, Republican Congressman Mike Lawler's decision not to
(01:13):
run for governor. That did come as we said, we
thought it happened. It did a little nudge from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
He did, you know, offer that he obviously wanted me
to stay in Congress and how important my seat is
to the House majority. I weighed that as I made
my decision, but ultimately this was my decision.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, there's a lot of balls in the air here.
First of all, they have to keep that seat, and
it's better for him to run for Congress and keep
that seat because without him it's a toss up district. Also,
they made a promise to Alice Stephonic and it clears
the field for her. They made a promise to her
if she stepped down as the nominee for the UN ambassador,
(01:58):
then they would pay her back by supporting her running
for governor. And so that's what's happening. A lot of
things happening in this one. In Idaho, Brian Koberger is
sentenced to life without parole for the killing of four
college students, and the families of the victims got to
(02:18):
face him face to face.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
We had to stare down and he's just filled with demons.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
He's dark pits of eyes and there's there's something seriously
wrong with that man.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, there is two competing scandals. First, Obamagate, with classified
documents showing the Obama administration was behind the push of
the Russian collusion hoax to try and hurt the incoming
president Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
This is truly one of the greatest political scandals in
American history. And reporters at legacy outlets, some of which
are sitting in this room today, like The New York
Times in the Washington Post, were ridiculously awarded Politzer Prizes
for their perpetuation of this hoax. It's well pastime for
those awards to be stripped from the journalists who receive them.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, the Polletzrer people lose all credibility if they don't
ask for them back. And even though Congress is going
on a five week recess, that doesn't mean the congressional
call among MAGA Republicans for release of the Epstein files
are going away anytime soon.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
So if anybody thinks that this is going to go
away because the House left the day earlier or something,
it's got to be like those zombies in The Walking Dead,
every time you think you've killed it, another one's just
going to come running out of the closet after you.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And again, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is down in
Florida right now. We found that out when we talked
to Brad Garrett, the ABC Terrorism and Security analyst. He
says he's down there right now to talk to Julane Maxwell,
who knows everything. She was the right hand person for
(03:56):
Jeffrey Epstein. And now let's get to doctor Arthur Kaplan,
professor of bioethics at New York University Land Going Medical Center.
He's with us every Thursday at this time. Good morning, doctor,
Hey are you I'm doing well.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
The first thing we wanted to talk about was gen
Z and the blank stare. Now, look, I have a
gen Zer in my home. I'm well aware of the
blank stare, and I'm well aware of what they say
it is. To me, it's something completely different. But what
does research say, why is this happening?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Well, nobody really knows. There's some speculation, real research that
if you spend a lot of time in front of screens,
you kind of develop a i'm gonna call it a
game pace for your computer. And you're used to seeing
all kinds of messages and information come by, but you
don't have to react because you know it's coming to you.
(04:54):
But it's not interactive in terms of facial cues. You're
typing in the answer, you're maybe speaking an answer, but
for a lot of it, you're not really going back
and forth, so you lose your signaling, if that makes sense.
On the other hand, I'm going to add one other thing.
I don't know about you, Larry, but I had a
(05:16):
pretty good gen Z face when my parents were talking
to me.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Absolutely, That's where I was going with it. I think
we love the blame gen Z for problems that have
been existing forever. You're right, I get that stare all
the time. It has nothing to do with the fact
that their gen Z. It has nothing to do with
the computer because they talk back and forth on the
computer all the time. They react to that. It's because
they don't really care what I have to say.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Yeah, soo worse. They think we're idiots, right, why would
you bother to say any would look pay attention or
react it all. It's like, okay, old person, yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, we've all gotten the gen Z stare for decades,
so I don't think this is anything new, but I
think we love to attack this generation.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
I agree with you. I agree with you. It's sort
of like, you know what it is. It's the teenage stare.
We all know what that is. They're rolling their eyes,
they're looking.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I mean, come on, there, you go. Listen. I'm dreading
this next story because I don't exercise enough, and I
know I should, and I have no excuse, but I've
been told over and over again you just have to
get out and walk a little bit. Just just get up,
get outside and walk. And I always make excuses. But
now you have a magic number of steps you're supposed
(06:37):
to take every day.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Well, the old number was ten thousand steps, and I
think a lot of people may have heard of that
study came out today saying you don't need ten thousand steps.
By the way, ten thousand steps about five and a
half miles. That would be a lot to walk every day,
and at an average pace, you'd have to walk for
two hours.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
And I was just talking to an alley about this.
You know where the ten thousand steps comes from. I'm
not making this up. It was the name of a
company that sold what do they call them, petty monitors?
You know, counted your steps in Japan in the nineteen sixties.
It wasn't attached to any science. It was an advertising
(07:23):
or marketing name for a company that wanted you to
count your steps. That's it, end of story. So there's
no demonstration that you got to hit that amount of walking.
I think it discourages people. I think people give up
or they just say, you know, like you and me, Larry, Well,
I can't go that far, so I'll do nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
What's wrong with that? I don't understand the problem with that.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
But well, I'll tell you what science knows and medicine.
Any walking is good. Any walking is good. I keep
saying instead to go by and they say things like
ten minutes of exercise actually shows improvement for your heart health.
I mean walking is good for you. It gets your
whole body involved. You get kind of a peace of
(08:09):
mind when you're walking, take yourself away from your problems.
So it's mental health as well as physical health. I'm
gonna comment, walk as far as you can when you
can try to do it, you don't have to worry
about ten thousand steps seven thousand steps. Just do some movement.
The other thing I think that people under value in
(08:30):
half a while is weight training. It's very good if
you can, you know, lift small amounts of weights. I
do it sometimes just sitting at my desk when I'm
on the phone watching a talk or a lecture or something,
you know, just to pick up the light, dumbells. Any
exercise is good for you.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, I don't understand why I don't do it. I
don't have I don't have an excuse, and I just
don't do it. But you know, I'll learn my lesson
very fast. Doctor Arthur Kaplan, professor of Ethics at New
York University lend Going Medical Center, is with us every
Thursday at this time, Doctor, thanks so much for spending time.
(09:09):
Oh no, absolutely, that was pretty fascinating. But yeah, the
gen Z stare, I don't buy into it all. I
gave that stare to my parents. We didn't even consider
us gen Z at the time.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
I think I still stare people that way. But I'm
so thrilled about this ten thousand steps because it is
really difficult to hit that mark every day, and it
used to frustrate me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, it was a step too far. You know what
I mean. It was about five thousand steps too far exactly.
So when you heard it, you're going to I'm just
gonna sit home and eat cheetos. A tourist got trapped
in a garage full of robotaxis. This isn't this is
not fantasy. This is, honest to God, happened. No humans
in San Francisco find out what the passengers did, and
(09:55):
they want to bring these to New York. Yeah, they're coming.
We'll tell you exactly what we meet. It all makes sense.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
Next sevenor menty in mind.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
All right, it's talkback time. You've been so great today,
even though a lot of people came after me because
of the Epstein file stuff. But that's fine. We can disagree.
I'm never not going to play a talkback because you
disagree with me. In fact, I like them. Now let's
get to your talkbacks. The final three of today that
(10:28):
will be in contention for not only the MENTI in
the Morning t shirt that goes to the talkback of
the day, but also for the Sea Crane radio that
goes in for the talkback of the week that'll be
given away tomorrow.
Speaker 11 (10:40):
MENTI, I don't believe you to be a hypocrite. You
have a right to your opinion. It's valid. However, Republicans
are supposed to be the party of common sense. Common
sense says don't touch little children, so Republicans should have
nothing to worry about. Democrats, on the hand, they're a
(11:00):
party of crazies and anyone who touches a child should
be out. And I don't care who they are.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's just a fact.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, except that you know, most of the people in
this country expect the trial. And when you don't give
a trial and nobody's been convicted and you just release
their names, you're in legal jeopardy. I think that's what's
behind not releasing this. It's embarrassing, though I agree with you,
it's embarrassing.
Speaker 12 (11:27):
What's the point talking about Obama, Gates, Epsteine files. We'll
never get the truth. We'll never see anybody actually get
held accountable for their injustices. The government is just against us.
They are both sides. You pick the lesser two evils
or just the ponds on the chessboard use to move
(11:48):
the bigger playing pieces. We might as well talk about
meatball recipes and cash videos.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I understand that frustration. Do you notice everybody involved in
govern gets richer, and as they get richer, we get poorer.
How does that happen? How does that work out?
Speaker 13 (12:06):
I have.
Speaker 14 (12:07):
A good meatball recipe. If anybody wants one, you know.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Everybody wants one, I'll pass it over to you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You gotta post that.
Speaker 15 (12:15):
I'm sorry, man, nothing's going to happen to the Democrats.
They got like diplomatic community, they like teflon. Look what
Hillary done with all those classified files. Nobody will press charges.
Biden had documents in his garage where anybody who walking
to take them? Oh, that's okay, listen, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Move on.
Speaker 15 (12:33):
Trump is getting so much done. Now once again, where's
my radio?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
He calls? He's been trying so hard. He can we
make a plea? Can can we say something to the
committee that this poor guy calls every week and just
wants his radio. So anyway, this story about WEIMO, which
by the way, is going to be coming to New
York WAIMO or driverless tax, and they've had them in
(13:01):
San Francisco, that's where they started them first. But they
keep running into problems because it hasn't been perfected yet apparently,
and we had a story. I think it was in
San Francisco a few months back, where the same thing happened,
and it happened again. Apparently, way Moo just looks for
the fastest route and no matter what, and so if
(13:21):
it sees a way to get from street to street,
you may end up in a parking lot.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
I'm in San Francisco and I need to get to
the convention Center. On the way to the convention center,
Waymo goes road and decides to turn into this multi
level parking garage and in it are hundreds of waymos.
I'm the only person in the car. Every other car
is driverless.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
No, that's like a movie. That's a nightmare. That's horrible.
That was a funny name, Darren Finding finding finding his
last name. But yeah, he pulled that, and I guess
some other people said similar things have happened to them
with Waimo. Thank god we weren't the test city. Let
(14:09):
San Francisco be the test city.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
My car decides to go up multi levels until it
decides to park on its own. I realized I can
push a button and get a representative. The representative tells
me this never happens, but she's going to override the
waimo to try to get wayme back on trap and
eventually she is successful.
Speaker 14 (14:31):
Well, well, so there's the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I mean, I've been in a cab where we drove
up into a snow bank and he got stuck and
I just got out and got another cab.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, that you love. Of course, you can't just jump
out of a way moo, you know what I mean. Yeah, no,
until it's yeah, when it stops, you can. Yeah, once
it stops, you can. But you know, when you're on
the eighth floor of a parking garage, it's very difficult
to get another ride. Although there are other waimo's there.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, who could crash into you if you as you
walk down eight levels?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
And a preset On the iHeartRadio app for seven to
ten war.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Here Larry Minty and all the WR hosts instantly now
back to Minty in the morning on woor Well, who
doesn't love Billy Joel. I don't think anybody dislikes Billy Joe.
I think everybody knows a Billy Joel's song that is
important in their lives and loves it. Most people can
(15:31):
name almost every one of his hit songs. I would
put him up there with Paul McCartney as the most loved,
the most loved singer songwriters in the country. Yeah, very
very American, very very much a part of our history.
And when you hear his story, you understand that this
(15:55):
was completely unlikely that his talent guided him to this.
He had so many falls, so many tragedies in his
life to get where he is as one of the
most love singers in the country with an album bigger
than an album, album's full of huge hits. And that's
(16:18):
why he is so fascinating. And right now there is
a docu series on HBO Max. Steve Cohen is Billy
Joel's longtime creative director, trusted collaborator, and most importantly, he
is an unconditional friend. He has been a close friend
of Billy Joel for fifty years, so there's nobody better
(16:42):
to be the executive producer of his latest documentary film,
Billy Joel and So It Goes Now. This premiered at
the Tribeca Film Festival on June fourth. It airs right now.
Part one dropped on July eighteenth, so you can watch
that right now on HBO Max, and then tomorrow night
is part two, and we talked to Steve Cohen about
(17:05):
the project. Steve, by the way, first of all, congratulations
on the project. It's it's for Billy Joel fans like
myself and that, you know, saying you're a fan of
Billy Joel's like saying you're a fan of their everybody is.
But to see what made him and who he is
and the man that he is is important to all
of us. That being said, I think everybody is concerned
(17:29):
about how he's doing right now. Could you fill us
in on his health.
Speaker 13 (17:34):
Yeah, he's doing good. He he's home and doing you know,
what he needs to do to treat this condition, and
he's you know, super positive. He's with his kids, and
I get to see him quite regularly because we live
(17:54):
a few minutes from each other in Florida. And Yeah,
he's doing really good. I'm doing really, really good.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That's wonderful to hear. It is interesting when you know
somebody so well and then you were the executive producer
of telling their story and showing their life, and especially
because so much of this is very personal, were there
any things during the process where Billy said to you, no, no, no,
(18:21):
we can't do that.
Speaker 16 (18:22):
We can't show this, No, he basically said, when he
decided to do this, you know, there was a lot
of reluctance to do a documentary over the years because,
in his words, you know, my life is in my songs.
Speaker 13 (18:36):
You don't need me to talk about it. I don't
need to tell you the story. And I think what
changed his mind was a combination of, you know, the
timing where he was in his life, the filmmaker Susan
Lacey and Jessica Levin, and the way Susan has portrayed
artists lives in documentary filmmaking was very intriguing to him.
(18:56):
And also the fact that you know, we we were
winding down the Madison Square Garden run and he felt
comfortable enough to allow someone else to tell the story.
And all he ever said to Susan was just be honest.
And one of the interesting conversations after he said that
(19:16):
was where I pointed out to him, Look, you know,
being honest means we you know, on top of it,
we have nothing to say and what's eventually going to
be in that movie? And he said, I got nothing
to hide. So I think I think that's a telling
statement about who Billy is that he's never withheld this
stuff on purpose. He just he wanted you to make
(19:37):
stuff up in your in your mind of what these
songs meant, so he didn't tell you what to think.
And I think what's interesting about this film now is
by pulling back the curtain or lifting the hood, as
I say, behind the backstories of some of these things,
it gives a new appreciation to the lyrics and a
new appreciation to the experience behind those songs. And and
(20:00):
I think that's a gift. I think he's given us
another gift. So it's pretty cool. It's it's pretty cool
to be able to look back and do this stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, and it's pretty cool for all of us to
be able to look behind the curtain and see him
because he is such a regular guy. He's always come
off to everybody as just a regular guy. But at
the same time, he's this genius. And first of all,
it's got to be strange for you to be around.
You're used to it now, but to realize, here's a
guy that I'm around all the time and he's got
(20:29):
this other side to him that's a genius. But now
for us to be able to see how those two
things come together is great. It's very important for his fans,
and I'm sure that was very important for you to
show where this came from.
Speaker 13 (20:45):
Yeah, I mean, I you know, we all knew because
you know, we're with him. We watch we watched, you know,
this kind of ordinary guy give birth to these extraordinary
pieces of art, and he's extraordinarily emotional pieces of music.
Where does it come from? You know, we also hung
out with him when it was you know, during the
(21:07):
difficult gestation periods of all of this stuff. So you know,
to tell that story, like I said, is a gift,
uh that that we got to ourselves and a gift
that we get to give, you know, the fans. But
I think to me, the greatest part about this is that,
you know, at the end of the day, Billy always
(21:27):
wanted to be a history teacher. And if if you know,
he's able to to teach something and make people think
about things, I think that he feels like there's a
little bit bigger layer on on what he does because
to him, he's you know, it's a golf swing. It's
like I sit down and these things come to me
and I and I create this stuff and I worked
(21:49):
very hard at it. But but he's Uh, it's sort
of like he doesn't think about it too much, you
know what I mean, There's no, he doesn't. He doesn't
like to break all this stuff down because he believes
that it's very ephemeral and then it's very fragile and
if you if you try and figure it out, it'll
slip out of your hands. So all of that being
(22:10):
shown in this documentary is really what I think is
the essence of the storytelling very.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Few things that a good friend doesn't know about someone
and you are the best of friends with him. Is
there something in the documentary that you saw that you
didn't know? No, that's a pretty out question. And do
we get to see where all these songs come from
(22:35):
in the documentary?
Speaker 13 (22:37):
Oh? Yeah, I mean you get to see you get
to see they're specific. There's about a half dozen one
that they do that the filmmakers do a deep dive in.
But you get that, you get the essence of the
motivations behind all the music, especially the classical training and
the classical background. And you know the fact that he
writes about uh writes about his relationships with others, So
you you get you get a lot of knowledge of
(23:00):
about the origin of these stories.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, thanks so much for spending time with us. I
really appreciated Steve Cohen, executive producer his latest documentary film,
Billy Joel and So It Goes. Thanks a lot, Steve,
Thanks a lot. That is Steve Cohen, Billy's Joel's longtime
creative director, trusted collaborator, and most importantly, he has been
an unconditional friend, a close friend of Billy Joel for
(23:24):
fifty years. He was telling us every time they have
to do an interview, he said, Okay, let's do it
at your house and they all go over there and
they film it over there.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Do you really think his house is better than Billy's house.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Or does he want to clean up?
Speaker 15 (23:37):
Yah?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
What's going on? Of course he doesn't want the crew
in his house. It's like his castle. He doesn't want
people tramping around us. Media types are Slovs, so he
doesn't want us in there.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Here's the thing you get from the documentary that I
think is the most important part. You see his life
and then you understand the songs. I mean, the songs
are personal to each one. We internalize every song, but
they're based on what he went through on his life
and especially there was a bad He had a bad breakup,
(24:10):
as we all know, and he wrote about that, and
he wrote about his family at the time. It's extremely
personal and I hope you get to see it. The
documentary is Billy Joel and So it goes. It premiered
at the Tribeca Film Festival that was June fourth, and
now it airs on HBO Max. Part one is already
up there. Part two comes tomorrow night. I encourage you
(24:33):
all to watch it. If you're a Billy Joel fan,
it is a must watch. When we come back, my
final thoughts, a recap of today's show, and of course
the talk back of the morning.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
It's Minty in the Morning on seven ten wor Now
with some final thoughts.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Here's Larry.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I bring this up with much trepidation, but no matter
how mad you get at me, I still don't understand
the MAGA obsession with the Epstein files. I get that
you're disappointed, so am I. Donald Trump and several people
in the administration promise the release of the files, and
not releasing them is embarrassing for them. I believe what
(25:15):
happened is they see legal jeopardy ahead in releasing the
names of people who have not been prosecuted, people with
a whole lot of money and resources. The Justice Department
attorneys undoubtedly warned the Trump administration that they were headed
for a legal quagmire. Again embarrassing, but we need to
(25:36):
look at the bigger picture. Have you noticed the Democrats
have jumped on this issue and have joined the renegade
maga podcasters and social media warriors. They never cared about
the Epstein files before, but now this Trump embarrassment hides
all their failures and stymi's Donald Trump moving forward. Suddenly
(26:01):
they're now all in on hearings and an investigation, not
because they believe in transparency, not because they care about
the victims, but because they want to extend the embarrassment
for Donald Trump. And it's worked. Of course, it's working
with the mainstream media at their beck and call. Of
course it works. The story's just dominated the news. Trump
(26:23):
has so many accomplishments in such a short time, and
every week he adds to that resume. I'm warning again,
you're hurting all of that, and you're doing the work
of the Democrats. I know you get upset at me
when I say this, but this is bad and It's
only going to get worse. Don't shoot the messenger who
(26:44):
agrees with you but sees that your obsession is a
way of derailing our goal. Remember what our goal is
to make America great again? Remember now Some, I'm sorry
about that. Now we have to go for Mark Some Now.
Coming up next to Mark Simone, he welcomes economist Steve
Moore and wor host of Fox Across America, Jimmy Faila.
(27:06):
Plus listen for the keyword after the ten o'clock news,
then head to seven to ten wr dot com for
your chance at one thousand dollars. Now a recap of
today's show. Retired NYPD detective and security expert Michael Sapracone
is pushing back against Assemblyman Zorhanmamdanni's proposals for how police
should respond to mental illness and crime.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
We can't replace police with social workers.
Speaker 15 (27:32):
It will just never work.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
So many years of working in the subway or in
the police department where I've seen things simple domestic situations
or homeless people go bad within a matter of seconds
and it can't always be solved with a social worker.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Political commentator Laura Karran believes that Representative Mike Lawler's time
might come eventually, just like how Elie Staphonic is now.
Speaker 14 (27:58):
I guess Elease is the golden at least Aphonic against
Hochel and is interesting that Trump made that call. And
I'm sure Lawler is disappointed because he sees an opportunity,
but Heylis Staphonic had to take the l on the
UN ambassadorship, so trust the plan.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
ABC News Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett does not
believe that Julaine Maxwell will cooperate with investigators in regards
to her work with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 17 (28:27):
To be able to do what she's been convicted of,
to be able to do that year after year, and
I don't think have an issue with it tells you
a lot about her as a person, and I think
she's shrewd enough that and through her attorneys, she's not
going to give up the ship until she has some
guarantees about getting out of jail.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
W L. R.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
White House correspondent John Decker believes, despite the wishes of
Donald Trump, the Jeffrey Epstein's story is not going to
leave the headlines.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
There's a drip, drip, drip element to this story. Every
day there's a new wrinkle to the Epstein case. And
you know, I think that's a frustrating thing for President Trump,
who would like certainly to be talking about other things.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
And the talk back of the morning and winner of
the Mentee in the Morning, t Shirt has her own
thoughts on the Epstein files.
Speaker 18 (29:17):
The reason Epstein files need to be released is because
they said they would be released. Transparency is everything. Personally,
I don't give a flying petuit about them one way
and over, but he said he would do it. They
have to be released because transparency is everything.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Then move on to Obama flying petuit. It's the term
of the day. And don't forget the best talkback of
