Speaker 1 (00:00):
I really appreciate you being with us today, but I
do hope you get out and enjoy the day. It
is going to be just beautiful today. In the Big
three today and the mayor's race. Mayor Adams, a former cop,
gets endorsements from several law enforcement unions. And the man
does know how to talk to cops.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Don't tell me about law enforcement over time.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Tell me about how we brought down crime in the city.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
That's what our.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Members are In the latest polling, Adams comes in fourth
behind Mom, Donnie Cuomo, and Sliwa, who are locked in
a statistical three way tie. Republican Curtis Sliwa is very
much in this race.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
The one thing everybody knows, you can't buy, rent, lease,
or own Curtis Sliwa.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The billionaires on all three.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Of these candidates. You know who owns me.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
The spirit of my mother and father, the blue collar
working class. That's who I dedicate this city to when
I become.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We're gonna be talking with Curtis in just a couple
of minutes, probably just two minutes. In Washington, Donald Trump
has been diagnosed with a condition that affects his veins
and cardiovascular system.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
This diagnosis is a progressive one, meaning that there's no
curative treatment or intervention. Sort certainly can lead to persistent swelling,
which can lead to persistent pain and difficulties with the
mobility at the age of seventy nine. Can be difficult
at the age of seventy nine, while also being the
president can be a tremendous amount of work.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And the world is a better place for a couple
of reasons. First of all, the Senate votes to cut
the funding for NPR Radio because they were more political
than public radio. It's about the nine billion dollars that
we're going to save or ninety billion dollars in the
tenure window, and where I come from, that's still a
lot of money. And then we have another broadcast that's
(01:49):
going to go away for being too political, The Late
Show with the Trump paiding Stephen Colbert. It's not just
the end of our show, but it's the end of
the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, in ten months from now, it's going away. And
they came out and they made a statement saying, oh, no, no, no,
it has nothing to do with what he said on
the air. It has nothing to do with content. It's
just not making money. And that's true, it's not making money,
but it has everything to do with what he said
on the air and the fact that Donald Trump is
there ready to sue you, like he sued sixty minutes,
(02:26):
and when he sued sixty minutes, they had to pay
up sixteen million dollars just to get out of the lawsuit.
So believe me, that was part of this decision. Now,
the interview we've been waiting for all day, Curtis leewa
Republican candidate for New York City mayor. Congratulations, Curtis, that
latest poll is really eye opening. You've been saying from
(02:48):
the beginning. We had you on a couple of months ago.
You've been saying from the beginning, you can win this race,
and this poll proves it's true.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Not only that, but Larry With a sitting mayor mired
in corruption involving his police command, a former police commissioner
charging him with running the police department as if it
were the Gambino crime family. This guy had the gall
to say that crime is down in the City of
(03:19):
New York. I'm in all three hundred and fifty neighborhoods,
says you know, Larry, I've yet to have one person
come up to me and say, oh, Curtis, you got
it wrong. I feel so much safer with Eric Adams
as the mayor. And because he's failed on the issue
of law and order and quality of life, which is
number three and four in the polls, has not provided
affordable housing and the cost of living is skyrocketing.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He's a failed mayor.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
And that's why Jorhan Mondami has risen from nowhere. Six
months ago, Larry, nobody knew who'saw on. Mondami was not
even his neighbors. Now he's an international figure. And I
told you back then, follow the numbers. I start with
thirty percent of the vote. If I get a few
more percentage points, you, Larry, are talking to the mayor
(04:05):
of the City of New York.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It will not be Eric Adams, it will not be Cormo.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
It is going to be a run between those that
support Mondami on the left and those in the middle
and the right who support Curtish Leeway.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, I really am pulling for you, and I hope
that's true. I'd love to see you as the mayor
of New York city, and I think New York City
would be better for it. You know, we got a
couple of talkbacks that I want to play for you.
Everybody wants to help your campaign. You've got a lot
of supporters on this radio station. Here's the first one, Larry.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
When you get Curtis on, you got to tell Curtis listen, man. Look,
he's great for the safety of the city, no doubt
about it. But I think that's more of a concern
for older people. He needs to reach out to younger voters.
He needs to bring some people on that can reach
out to younger voters. We can do this, Curtis, Come on, baby,
(04:58):
let's do this.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Larry's correct.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
In fact, if you look at my campaign team, it's
made up all of millennials.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And gen ziers.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
If you look at the successful presidential campaign of Donald Trump,
he was able masterfully to bring on board a number
of male, mostly male, very few female millennials and gen Zers,
and I believe that was the difference in him being
able to win the battleground states all seven and the
popular vote.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
All the millennials and the gen Zers who are now
the majority of the population.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They are the majority of the voters. I'm a baby boomer.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I know a lot of people don't want to hear
that the baby boomers have either fled to Florida or
they've gone to heaven.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We're not the majority anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
They are and there are plenty of your sons and
daughters and grandchildren who have common since we're getting them
on board.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They're not all in for Zorn Mandami.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But cautionary Larry, stopping attacking his religion, stop attacking his culture.
Stick to the issues, and you'll get the millennials, you'll
get to gen zs on our side. But all the
other nonsense who should drop out stay in his college transcript.
All you do is make him a martyr and a
victim and get more of that peer group to side
(06:18):
with him.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
It's really fascinating, And I agree with what you just
said that you should stick to the issues. And I'll
tell you what. The billionaires in this city are sticking
to the issues. Because he was supposed to have a
meeting with them and they wouldn't even show up. Half
of them aren't even there, including Jamie Diamond. And then
he goes down to Washington to meet with Democrats, and
only the crazy showed up to talk to him. Some
(06:40):
of the biggest Democrats in the state won't even endorse them.
They're reluctant to endorse them. I really believe Zurim Mamdani,
and I thought that was the most shocking thing in
this poll. By the way, how low he was compared
to other polls. I think Curtis he's losing support now.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
He's losing support.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But Eric Adams is making his quest to become mayor
a lot easier with this corruption, With the fact that
the city has fallen into the abyss. Look around, walk
around the streets, the homeless, the emotionally disturbed, the empty storefronts.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You can't blame that on Zora, on Mandami.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
So what Eric Adams has to do is he's got
to determine and decide you're gonna run this race. You
better admit to all the sins you've committed. Donald Trump
saved you, or you'd be in jail with Menendez and Cuomo,
who is now like the political zombie apologizing I should
have run a better race. You better start apologizing for
slapping fannies and killing granny's.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Because you'll never have a chance to be mayor.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You'll never have a chance to be mayor until you
admit I've been slapping fannies and killing granny's and I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Sorry that sounds like a bumper sticker. I have another caller,
And by the way, this one a lot of people
on talkback have said. And so it goes right to
your identity, right to your uniform. So you might have
even heard this before.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Please tell Curtis not to wear the beret anymore. I
love Curtis and I hope he's going to be our
next mayor, but please, no more beret. People don't identify
with the Guardian Angels anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
First off, I wear the beret because in forty six
years of history of the Guardian Angels serving New Yorker Is,
six have died in the line of duty, thirty two
have been seriously injured. And I have to tell your
caller respectfully. When I go into neighborhoods, the only Republican
they've ever seen is Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
On a five dollar bill. They identify the beret.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
They accept me because of the service we provided to
the inner city. You want to win this election. You
have to use everything available. I went to the wake
for Bernard, Terrik and Patterson at the cathedral. Rudy Giuliani
did not recognize me without my beret. He passed me twice.
Voddo passed me three times. They're not recognize me without
(09:08):
the red beret because you have to take your red
beret off in church. Please, If the red beret is
the reason that you won't vote for me, and you
vote for a guy with a five thousand dollars customized
suit who's the mayor and angew Cuomo, smacking fannies and
killing granny's, that's your reason for not voting for me.
I'm going back into the subways where I campaign, where
(09:30):
people can identify me by that red beret.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Curtis leewa Republican candidate for mayor. You got a lot
of fans on this station, including the host, and we're
all pulling for you. Hope to talk to you again soon.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Oh just go to Slee work for NYC dot com
and you'll learn all about my campaign. Slee work for
NYC dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Thanks so much, Curtis Lee. Well, what exactly is chronic
venous infhasy? I'm gonna mess this up. What exactly is
chronic venus insufficiency the condition that Donald Trump has, Well,
I ask doctor Jan katz Nelson from the USA Vein
Clinic coming up next. Well, one of the big stories
(10:12):
today is of course the vein affliction that Donald Trump
suffered from. They had to be treated by doctors. They're saying,
it's going to be around for a long time. And
luckily we have one of the preeminent voices in the world,
one of the preeminent doctors in the world when it
comes to vain afflictions, doctor Jan katz Nelson, Founder and
(10:34):
CEO of USA Vein Clinics. By the way, they have
over one hundred and sixty locations, forty in New York
City alone. They've been around for twenty years, and of
course doctor katz Nelson is considered one of the experts
on this in the world. Uh, doctor, thanks so much
for spending some time with us today on this.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Thank you for calling me.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Absolutely. Let's start out with what he has and maybe
you can explain it to me.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
So, Persident Trump has a very common condition called superficial
venus in sufficiency. But thirty percent of adults and this
age suffer from this condition and it's basically prom congestion
that caused by broken valve and preventing return of venus
used blood towards the heart and the person. Trump works
(11:30):
very hard, he stands a lot, he travels a lot
on the plane, and it's all is not very thin,
and it's all exacerbate the problem with the legs. It's
very common, easy to diagnose, and I'm glad it's just
a venus insufficiency, not heart problem, not kidney problem. And
(11:53):
the reason it's good because it's easily treatable. The treatments
for venus insufficiency it's the ablatians or sclaro therapies and
take ten to fifteen minutes.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
They're actually all.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
Covered by insurance, and the science is very very well established.
And after the treatment is swelling, pain, night cramps.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
All disappears.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
What's important to know is if left untreated, it can
be a very serious conditioned even deadly. Even asymptomatic venus
in sufficiency could increase risk of DVT more than five times,
and more than about ten thousand people in US die
(12:44):
from DVT every year in the United States.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Are you at an airport right now? I hope you
don't miss your flight? Are we holding you up for something?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
I'm in an airport, I'm infk I.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Heard announcements in the background. Well that's a little bit
lighting that if it's not treated. So how how does
someone know if they might have it?
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Sound? First of all, it's because it's very common. You
can almost self diagnose if someone has a bulging veins,
big roppie varkas veins, swollen lags, discoloration, brownish red discoloration,
think skin nine crabs, ninety nine percent, it will be veins.
(13:28):
Because it's very very common, and the perfect diagnosis is
just ultra sound. It's an inexpensive, easy ultrasound basketb ultra
sound the important thing. It needs to be done in
standing position because we need to check how valves work
against the gravity. If ultra sound is done in a
lying position.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
You'll not see it.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
It needs to be in standing and not every laboratory
announced how to do ultra sound standing position, usually just
in the places specialized to vane treatments. This study is done.
So it's very important to find clinics, dain treatment clinic
that will help with this and then we can identify
(14:11):
exactly what which veins are have a broken valve and
we can do the treatment basically close those segments and
redirect the blood flow into the right veins instead of
the wrong veins. That's and it's done, And they will
just sound guidance under We exactly see what we're doing.
And then the result and outcome and improvement is extraordinary
(14:35):
and immediate.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Great. Will you keep saying it's treatable. Is it curable?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Yes, yes, it's curable. So these veins, it's mechanical problem.
We fix this mechanical problem. Think like a flood in
the basement. You have a main pump and some pump,
and if valves between those pumps pipes are broken, whatever
goes up falls down. So we fix the problem with
(15:00):
the broken bell and some pump just takes the water
up and and flood stops. Exactly the same thing happens
with the veins. When we remove these segments, they take
blood in the wrong opposite direction, and everything goes in
the right direction. Everything stops. No more swelling, no more pain.
(15:25):
Because veins, you know, bad circulation creates two types of problem.
It's congestion and poor nutrition. Poor nutrition leads to pain
conjunction to swelling, and because of stagnation. Think like a
pond against instead of river. You have this DVT, you know,
deep vein trombosis because blood flow is sluggish and trump
(15:49):
can happen. That's the problem, the biggest problem with the condition.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And I would imagine your recommendation would be if anyone
thinks that they may have this, have any of the
symptoms that you talked about a moment ago, they get
right in to see a doctor, right and go to
one of the US vein clinics.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
We tried to see most of the patients within two
or three days because we have so many locations, who
have almost on hundred seventy locations to three states, more
than fourteen New York alogue. We work seven days a week,
long hours, just try to make sure that people have
access to care and then if left un treated, in
(16:32):
many situations, disease progress towards day. In Alcour's wounds, between
one to two percent of Medicare patients have open wood
from vain disease, which is terrible, completely preventable and completely treatable.
So I think, hopefully, I'm sure President Trump will be
(16:53):
fine and he will get appropriate treatment, and hopefully many
many thousands of listeners will pay attention and help themselves
by simply calling and second treatment. That will be very successful.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Not that right. There's always some good that comes out
of this and people get to learn a lot, and
I think a lot of people that didn't know what
you just told them. No, Now, thank you so much
for being with his doctor John.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
And I can only comment that President Trump and Tayland
that extraordinary thing, providing transparency and shading light to health
issues that no other president's ever done before. So that's
that's a very good trend.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, very well said, Yeah, that's exactly right. Most hired
them and he didn't. He came right out and said this,
and he might save a lot of people. Doctor Jan
katz Nelson, founder and CEO of us A Vain Clinics
over one hundred and sixty locations. You got forty right
here in New York alone, and they've been around for
(17:58):
forty years. By the way, you can learn about it
and maybe you can get an appointment if you need
to USA Vainclinics dot com. Doctor, thanks so much for
your time. Now let's get the news. It's nine to thirty.
Jaqueline Carl Jecklin.
Speaker 11 (18:12):
Good morning, the House is voting to pass a package
of nine billion dollars in doze spending cuts. Lawmakers voted
to sixteen to two thirteen to approve the cuts to
public broadcasting, global health programs, and foreign aid. This after
Republican senators narrowly passed the package Thursday. And the man
killed in a New Jersey lightning strike in Jackson Township
has been identified.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
He's sixty one year old Robert Montgomery of Cinnamonsen, an
archery instructor at the Black knight Bowbenders Range. He was
working with Cup Scouts members of Pack number two O
four when a lightning bolt struck and killed him and
insured multiple children, some who suffered burns. Tom Coopy was
on the phone with nine one one when he realized
(18:54):
his son Ryan had been hit.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
This batch.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Was trying to get as much information that I heard
my kids screaming for me.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I'm like, hey, I got to go my kids on.
My kids heard he was struck by lightning.
Speaker 12 (19:03):
The young Scouts are recovering and investigation is underway into
how all this happened. Sarah Lee Kessler WOOR News.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Now, let's head over to Wall Street. At the opening
bell the Dow opened up forty nine points, the s
and P up seven points. The Nasdaq opened up twelve points.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl. Superman dominates at the box office,
and Hollywood has yet another reboot because they've run out
of ideas. This time, it's I know what you did
last summer, I know what you did summer thirty years ago.
Is that what they're doing. We'll talk about both with
(19:44):
the Movie Minute host Joe Newmeyer. Next, all right, let's
talk about Superman first with Movie Minute hosts Joe Newmeyer
and film journalist Joe Neumeyer. They are one and the same,
by the way, I'm not talking about two different people.
So I didn't get to see Superman, but everybody that
(20:04):
I know that saw it, including my son, who does
a comic book podcast and knows more about Superman than
anybody I've ever met, loved it. Loved Superman.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
There you know I'm here, Larry. I gotta tell you.
So here's the thing. I for one thing, congrats to
your to your son.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
For one thing, that he obviously is a go getter
and guy has got a podcast, and that he has
a passion for comic book stuff. I always applaud that
to a degree. I'm not surprised because, as we talked
about last week, I'm not I gave this Superman one star.
I didn't like it, and I am I'm the outlier.
I mean, it was a huge box office hit. It's
like the third biggest opening weekend of so far.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Of the year.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
People seem to like it. It is to my eye,
geared towards towards kids, and it's and it's comic book style,
so that obviously tracks with with with your son's style
of what he wants. It just kind of for me,
it just felt like it was going too far into that.
It was too silly, It's too sort of ridiculous, and
I you know, like we joked about last week where
(21:08):
it's like, you know where when Crypto is the super
dog is the thing you walk out saying, oh man,
that was great about Crypto. To me, I think at
least it's just sort of it missed the mark. Now
I think that obviously, you know, maybe it's like different times,
different things. At the time that that first nineteen seventy
eight Superman came out, which I loved by and I
think we talked about to me that's my favorite superhero film.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But even though it was true to the original Superman.
That that's what my son likes so much about this one,
that it was true to the original Superman. If you
like that one, you should like this one.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
It's in theory I think that they just went too
it's they went too far that it's like they overcorrected
for the darkness of the like the Man of Steel
movies and Batman versus Superman and things like that. So
in theory, I just think that there's there's something missing.
There's some magic elements, some some you know some' is
like Kentucky Fried Chicken. There's some mysterious element missing. And
it's not about you know, the performance. You know, Christopher
(22:03):
Reeve obviously was fantastic. It's there have been other great
Superman actors. I think Brandon routh And and Henry Cavill,
we're both really good Superman actors. Actually, there's just something.
It just felt a little bit too young, it felt
a little bit too thin. It's like the threat to
the to the world wasn't sort of you know, wasn't
what it should be. H I thought that Nicholas out
(22:24):
As as Lex Luthor was okay, but his hit what
he kind of went about it, which seemed a little
like an echo of the gene Hackman lex Luthor. And
and you know, we're talking about it right now, by
the way, like it's geopolitics or something. But it's like
but but it seemed like a thin echo of what
of what the gene Hackman version of Luthor wanted to do,
(22:45):
which somehow like which had more hast to I mean,
he was gonna break out California off into the ocean.
This one sort of seemed like he was gonna start
a little scuffle in a in a in a middle
Eastern country and name himself.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
King, you know.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
I that just seemed like a little bit too thin
for me. And he had a team of guys all
sitting around at these computer screens. I don't you know,
That's just my thing. I feel like, if you've got
like Alex Luthor, he should be on his own and villainous.
He doesn't need a bunch of guys that computers like,
you know, answering phone calls for like telemarketers. So that's
(23:18):
there are sort of style things I didn't like, and
there were script things I didn't like. And as I
mentioned last week. I really liked the Guardians of the
Galaxy movies, which is, you know, the same director, James Gunn,
and especially the first two, and it doesn't seem like
it kind of wanted to be those movies. But it
also was sort of playing in the same pool as
it were, you know, So I'm not surprised that your
(23:38):
son liked it, because I think it was aimed a
little bit more young and it was, you know, towards
that demographic. Whereas if you watch that, and I know
your son also likes the Christopher read version.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
He rates them Christopher Reeve one and this one too.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
Yeah, yeah, he's got good taste. Obviously, he's got that
super Net one as first. But and that one also
came at an interesting time too. Look, it was nineteen
seventy eight in New York. You know, it was sort
of like, you know, just like people sort of forget
that the first Rocky was a seventies gritty movie in
some way, like that first Superman movie is existing in
a in a gritty seventies New York world, even though
it's not that gritty in the movie, it's just that
(24:13):
the era that it came out in and that's why
it was sort of a breath of fresh air. So yeah,
I guess I stand alone, you know, as everybody else
is going. I want people to go and enjoy movies,
no matter what, whether I like them or not. I
want people to go with them and have a great time,
you know. So I'm I'm glad that that it is
a success. It just wasn't for me. And but now
it's also obviously spawning all these other things, which is
(24:33):
which is great. You know, the next one's gonna be
Supergirl who shows up in this movie. You know, that's
not a spoiler.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And maybe we can get away of out of the
darkness of making all these Marvel movies and these DC
movies dark. Somehow I think people like light and yeah,
you know, and I do agree with that. Yeah, absolutely,
Well it's funny. Yeah, I mean those.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
I was just gonna say, the previous iteration of this,
like all those Man of Steel movies, we're so dark
and so heavy, and I and the and the you know,
the Justice League movie and all that stuff. I mean,
they were like going to a funeral, you know. Yeah,
this is much more, much more fun. Well, we're gonna
say the Lary you.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Have such an influence over me. I didn't see this
because of your review, and I really didn't and and
other ones that you've liked, even given three stars to
I've gone to see. This is the first weekend I
didn't see a movie. Now I definitely want to go
see it, and that might influence me and your reviews
from here on out, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh boy?
Speaker 10 (25:31):
Okay, right right, So either I'm gonna have to prove
myself but even more next time, or right exactly, well,
at least I will say this, go see Superman, Larry,
rather than I Know What you did last summer, which
is the big movie this weekend. Let's put it this way.
Next summer you will not be talking about, oh, you
know what, I Know what you saw last summer? Was
I Know what you did last summer. It's horrible. It's
a it's a it's what they call a legacy remake
(25:53):
of the nineteen ninety seven horror film that Jennifer Love, Hewitt,
Freddie Prince Junior, who all show up in this movie.
It's really a nothing. It's zero stars. But it also
makes me think of, you know, all those nineties horror movies,
and it was sort of that was sort of a
there's a lot going on in horror at that time. Yeah,
like what they should have remade? Remake something like The
Dark Half, which was a not necessarily successful Stephen King story,
(26:16):
or Idle Hands, this jokey horror flick, or Urban Legend,
which I thought was a great idea that back in
nineteen ninety eight was done terribly. But you know what's
the big here's the big controversy that I'm going to
set up. I think they should remake The Devil's Advocate,
the Keanu.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Reeves al Pacino movie.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
Remember that I love that, right, Yeah, me too, Me too,
But I think it would be great to remake it, Like,
how about somebody like Javier Bardem or Robert Downey Junior
as Satan screaming you know, God is an absentee landlord.
You know, something like that would be really fun and
he could kind of put a different spin on it
rather than something like I Know what you did last Summer,
(26:54):
which you know, even the title makes you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The problem was doing a remake of that movie is
that al Pacino was so good. Who who wants to
follow that?
Speaker 10 (27:03):
Right exactly? And at the time they you know, he
kind of got a little bit of guff because he's
going over the top. That's sort of set up that
whole like, oh my god, Pacino does you know, goes
too far? Sometimes he's two in the scenery. But I
think he's terrific in it. I think he's really fun
in having it, and he knows how fun the movie is.
He knows it's a it's an over the top thing.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I'll tell you what, if you're ever going to go
too far, playing the devil is the role where you
would want to.
Speaker 10 (27:24):
Go too far, right, exactly, you don't underplay playing the devil. Exactly,
you go go too far, get get the horns, get
to have a tried end, have a big pointy tail,
whatever you need to do right, go go too far.
I'm playing the devil.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So was there anything worth watching this weekend? Like, even
if I was going to watch something online, what's worth
while going to see a Superman? But what else? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (27:47):
Well, you know, it's it's interesting because the Superman movie
that's come out, you know, they're setting up all these
other things. It does remind me of you know, I
don't know if you saw the Robert Pattinson Batman because
they are gonna be making a new Batman out out
of this whole group. So and and while that was
a success, I think a lot of people thought that
what's kind of dark, and it is. It's like a
dark mystery. It kind of reminded me of Zodiac or something.
So something like The Batman or that reminded me of Zodiac.
(28:07):
Watch something like Zodiac, which has Robert Downey Junior in it,
a terrific sort of gritty thriller. It's in the seventies
about the Zodiac Killer.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
You know.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
While certainly if you want to stay away from from
darkness and dark movies, these are not the ones. But
I think that, like, if you wanted to sort of
check something out that was superherois but also dark, but
not not that DC dark, the Batman is the one
to do. It's directured by the guy who made the
uh those those those great reboots of the Plant the Age.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, that's a that's a great suggestion. Joe Numeier, film journalist,
WWR movie Minnered host. Thanks a lot, Joe, Thanks Erry.
When we come back. My final thoughts are recap of
today's show and the talk back of the morning and
the Sea Crane talk back of the week now with
some final thoughts. Here's Larry Ah. The world just feels
(28:55):
like a better place, doesn't it. It even smells nicer
once again. And untalented TV personality whose entire stick is
blasting Donald Trump has been shown the door. They used
to be funny Stephen Colbert now joins the grandstanding Jim
Acosta and the TDS deranged Joy Reid on the sidewalk
(29:18):
where they all got kicked to the curb by their
respective network CBSCNN and MSNBC, the big three of Trumpeters.
And have you noticed not too many are upset that
Colbert has been given the boot. That's because his ratings
were awful. He slowly drove away the majority of his
(29:41):
viewers who just wanted to be entertained, you know, like
David Letterman used to do before Colbert took over and
ruined the show. Now, paramount, who made the announcement and
is trying to sell the network, put out a statement
saying this had nothing to do with Cole Bear or
the content of the show. It was purely a monetary decision.
(30:06):
Yeah right, so I guess that it had nothing to
do with Colbert disobeying a directive not to talk about
paramount settling with Donald Trump in a lawsuit against sixty minutes.
After sixty minutes put a whole lot of work into
re editing their Kamala Harris interview to make her sound coherent.
(30:31):
Colbert not only talked about it, he ridiculed his own
network and called the settlement a bribe. He just couldn't
help himself. The left is so deranged. They're like suicide
bombers who are willing to destroy their own careers because
(30:53):
their hatred of Donald Trump has infected their brains. But
let's tell a rate another one down and try to
guess who's next. Joey behar Cooper Anderson, Jimmy Kimmel. We
see all of you betting odds say it's one of
(31:17):
those three that's gonna get the boot next. Oh, we
can only hope. Coming up next, Mark Simone has the
day off and stepping in is Ken Rozzatto, who welcomes
new Jersey assembly Woman Don Fantasia, and Vincent Wagner, an
attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom. Plus Listen for the
(31:38):
keyword right after the ten o'clock news, then head to
seven to ten wr dot com for your chance to
win one thousand dollars. But first, let's get a quick
recap of today's show. ABC News Washington Bureau chief Rick
Klein believes that Donald Trump has to satisfy the MAGA
crowd if he wants to questions surrounding Jeff Epp Jeffreepps
(32:00):
to go away.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
If this was just Democrats jumping up and down, this
would not be a story anymore. But it's not. His
former National Security advisor Michael Flynn with an impassioned plea
on this. We saw Joe Rogan go off on this.
I mean, these are these are big, big names with
huge followings that think there's something up here. And yes,
Democrats have seized the political advantage here, but but this
is this. If this continues, it's going to be because
of Donald Trump's own base.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Doctor Jon katz Nelson from the USA Vein Clinics provided
insight into the recent vein condition diagnosed for Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
It's very common, easy to diagnose, and I'm glad it's
just a beenos insufficiency, not hot problem, not kidney problem.
And the reason that's good because it's easily treatable.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Republican nominee for New York City Mayor, Curtis Leewood does
not care about criticism of his red beret.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
If the red beret is the reason that you won't
vote for me, and you vote for a guy with
a five thousand dollars customized suit who's a maya and
angew como, smacking fannies and killy granny's, that's your reason
forout voting for me. I'm going back into the subway
to where I campaign, where people can identify me by.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
That red beret.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Well, the talk back of the morning and winner of
the MENTI in the Morning T shirt who talked about
his nagging wife.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
I'm married forty eight years and my wife has never
nagged me in her mind. Okay, but without that nagging,
I wouldn't be who I am today. And that love
it for it and I hope she never stops.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, I knew they were gonna pick that one. Thank
you for all your incredible talkbacks this week. They really
add to the show. Now time for the talk back
of the week.
Speaker 13 (33:44):
Americans get upset if you cut the line in a
grocery store or in a fast food chain. Do you
think they're not going to get upset if they cut
the line to become American citizens and getting all the
benefits by cheating the system.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
The best talkback of the week takes home an ac
crane radio. Sea crane radios deliver the reception and clarity
you deserve. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Now
the news. It's ten o'clock
I really appreciate you being with us today, but I
do hope you get out and enjoy the day. It
is going to be just beautiful today. In the Big
three today and the mayor's race. Mayor Adams, a former cop,
gets endorsements from several law enforcement unions. And the man
does know how to talk to cops.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Don't tell me about law enforcement over time.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Tell me about how we brought down crime in the city.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
That's what our.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Members are In the latest polling, Adams comes in fourth
behind Mom, Donnie Cuomo, and Sliwa, who are locked in
a statistical three way tie. Republican Curtis Sliwa is very
much in this race.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
The one thing everybody knows, you can't buy, rent, lease,
or own Curtis Sliwa.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The billionaires on all three.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Of these candidates. You know who owns me.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
The spirit of my mother and father, the blue collar
working class. That's who I dedicate this city to when
I become.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We're gonna be talking with Curtis in just a couple
of minutes, probably just two minutes. In Washington, Donald Trump
has been diagnosed with a condition that affects his veins
and cardiovascular system.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
This diagnosis is a progressive one, meaning that there's no
curative treatment or intervention. Sort certainly can lead to persistent swelling,
which can lead to persistent pain and difficulties with the
mobility at the age of seventy nine. Can be difficult
at the age of seventy nine, while also being the
president can be a tremendous amount of work.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And the world is a better place for a couple
of reasons. First of all, the Senate votes to cut
the funding for NPR Radio because they were more political
than public radio. It's about the nine billion dollars that
we're going to save or ninety billion dollars in the
tenure window, and where I come from, that's still a
lot of money. And then we have another broadcast that's
(01:49):
going to go away for being too political, The Late
Show with the Trump paiding Stephen Colbert. It's not just
the end of our show, but it's the end of
the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, in ten months from now, it's going away. And
they came out and they made a statement saying, oh, no, no, no,
it has nothing to do with what he said on
the air. It has nothing to do with content. It's
just not making money. And that's true, it's not making money,
but it has everything to do with what he said
on the air and the fact that Donald Trump is
there ready to sue you, like he sued sixty minutes,
(02:26):
and when he sued sixty minutes, they had to pay
up sixteen million dollars just to get out of the lawsuit.
So believe me, that was part of this decision. Now,
the interview we've been waiting for all day, Curtis leewa
Republican candidate for New York City mayor. Congratulations, Curtis, that
latest poll is really eye opening. You've been saying from
(02:48):
the beginning. We had you on a couple of months ago.
You've been saying from the beginning, you can win this race,
and this poll proves it's true.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Not only that, but Larry With a sitting mayor mired
in corruption involving his police command, a former police commissioner
charging him with running the police department as if it
were the Gambino crime family. This guy had the gall
to say that crime is down in the City of
(03:19):
New York. I'm in all three hundred and fifty neighborhoods,
says you know, Larry, I've yet to have one person
come up to me and say, oh, Curtis, you got
it wrong. I feel so much safer with Eric Adams
as the mayor. And because he's failed on the issue
of law and order and quality of life, which is
number three and four in the polls, has not provided
affordable housing and the cost of living is skyrocketing.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He's a failed mayor.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
And that's why Jorhan Mondami has risen from nowhere. Six
months ago, Larry, nobody knew who'saw on. Mondami was not
even his neighbors. Now he's an international figure. And I
told you back then, follow the numbers. I start with
thirty percent of the vote. If I get a few
more percentage points, you, Larry, are talking to the mayor
(04:05):
of the City of New York.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It will not be Eric Adams, it will not be Cormo.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
It is going to be a run between those that
support Mondami on the left and those in the middle
and the right who support Curtish Leeway.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, I really am pulling for you, and I hope
that's true. I'd love to see you as the mayor
of New York city, and I think New York City
would be better for it. You know, we got a
couple of talkbacks that I want to play for you.
Everybody wants to help your campaign. You've got a lot
of supporters on this radio station. Here's the first one, Larry.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
When you get Curtis on, you got to tell Curtis listen, man. Look,
he's great for the safety of the city, no doubt
about it. But I think that's more of a concern
for older people. He needs to reach out to younger voters.
He needs to bring some people on that can reach
out to younger voters. We can do this, Curtis, Come on, baby,
(04:58):
let's do this.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Larry's correct.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
In fact, if you look at my campaign team, it's
made up all of millennials.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And gen ziers.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
If you look at the successful presidential campaign of Donald Trump,
he was able masterfully to bring on board a number
of male, mostly male, very few female millennials and gen Zers,
and I believe that was the difference in him being
able to win the battleground states all seven and the
popular vote.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
All the millennials and the gen Zers who are now
the majority of the population.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They are the majority of the voters. I'm a baby boomer.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I know a lot of people don't want to hear
that the baby boomers have either fled to Florida or
they've gone to heaven.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We're not the majority anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
They are and there are plenty of your sons and
daughters and grandchildren who have common since we're getting them
on board.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They're not all in for Zorn Mandami.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But cautionary Larry, stopping attacking his religion, stop attacking his culture.
Stick to the issues, and you'll get the millennials, you'll
get to gen zs on our side. But all the
other nonsense who should drop out stay in his college transcript.
All you do is make him a martyr and a
victim and get more of that peer group to side
(06:18):
with him.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
It's really fascinating, And I agree with what you just
said that you should stick to the issues. And I'll
tell you what. The billionaires in this city are sticking
to the issues. Because he was supposed to have a
meeting with them and they wouldn't even show up. Half
of them aren't even there, including Jamie Diamond. And then
he goes down to Washington to meet with Democrats, and
only the crazy showed up to talk to him. Some
(06:40):
of the biggest Democrats in the state won't even endorse them.
They're reluctant to endorse them. I really believe Zurim Mamdani,
and I thought that was the most shocking thing in
this poll. By the way, how low he was compared
to other polls. I think Curtis he's losing support now.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
He's losing support.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But Eric Adams is making his quest to become mayor
a lot easier with this corruption, With the fact that
the city has fallen into the abyss. Look around, walk
around the streets, the homeless, the emotionally disturbed, the empty storefronts.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You can't blame that on Zora, on Mandami.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
So what Eric Adams has to do is he's got
to determine and decide you're gonna run this race. You
better admit to all the sins you've committed. Donald Trump
saved you, or you'd be in jail with Menendez and Cuomo,
who is now like the political zombie apologizing I should
have run a better race. You better start apologizing for
slapping fannies and killing granny's.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Because you'll never have a chance to be mayor.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You'll never have a chance to be mayor until you
admit I've been slapping fannies and killing granny's and I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Sorry that sounds like a bumper sticker. I have another caller,
And by the way, this one a lot of people
on talkback have said. And so it goes right to
your identity, right to your uniform. So you might have
even heard this before.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Please tell Curtis not to wear the beret anymore. I
love Curtis and I hope he's going to be our
next mayor, but please, no more beret. People don't identify
with the Guardian Angels anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
First off, I wear the beret because in forty six
years of history of the Guardian Angels serving New Yorker Is,
six have died in the line of duty, thirty two
have been seriously injured. And I have to tell your
caller respectfully. When I go into neighborhoods, the only Republican
they've ever seen is Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
On a five dollar bill. They identify the beret.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
They accept me because of the service we provided to
the inner city. You want to win this election. You
have to use everything available. I went to the wake
for Bernard, Terrik and Patterson at the cathedral. Rudy Giuliani
did not recognize me without my beret. He passed me twice.
Voddo passed me three times. They're not recognize me without
(09:08):
the red beret because you have to take your red
beret off in church. Please, If the red beret is
the reason that you won't vote for me, and you
vote for a guy with a five thousand dollars customized
suit who's the mayor and angew Cuomo, smacking fannies and
killing granny's, that's your reason for not voting for me.
I'm going back into the subways where I campaign, where
(09:30):
people can identify me by that red beret.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Curtis leewa Republican candidate for mayor. You got a lot
of fans on this station, including the host, and we're
all pulling for you. Hope to talk to you again soon.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Oh just go to Slee work for NYC dot com
and you'll learn all about my campaign. Slee work for
NYC dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Thanks so much, Curtis Lee. Well, what exactly is chronic
venous infhasy? I'm gonna mess this up. What exactly is
chronic venus insufficiency the condition that Donald Trump has, Well,
I ask doctor Jan katz Nelson from the USA Vein
Clinic coming up next. Well, one of the big stories
(10:12):
today is of course the vein affliction that Donald Trump
suffered from. They had to be treated by doctors. They're saying,
it's going to be around for a long time. And
luckily we have one of the preeminent voices in the world,
one of the preeminent doctors in the world when it
comes to vain afflictions, doctor Jan katz Nelson, Founder and
(10:34):
CEO of USA Vein Clinics. By the way, they have
over one hundred and sixty locations, forty in New York
City alone. They've been around for twenty years, and of
course doctor katz Nelson is considered one of the experts
on this in the world. Uh, doctor, thanks so much
for spending some time with us today on this.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Thank you for calling me.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Absolutely. Let's start out with what he has and maybe
you can explain it to me.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
So, Persident Trump has a very common condition called superficial
venus in sufficiency. But thirty percent of adults and this
age suffer from this condition and it's basically prom congestion
that caused by broken valve and preventing return of venus
used blood towards the heart and the person. Trump works
(11:30):
very hard, he stands a lot, he travels a lot
on the plane, and it's all is not very thin,
and it's all exacerbate the problem with the legs. It's
very common, easy to diagnose, and I'm glad it's just
a venus insufficiency, not heart problem, not kidney problem. And
(11:53):
the reason it's good because it's easily treatable. The treatments
for venus insufficiency it's the ablatians or sclaro therapies and
take ten to fifteen minutes.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
They're actually all.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
Covered by insurance, and the science is very very well established.
And after the treatment is swelling, pain, night cramps.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
All disappears.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
What's important to know is if left untreated, it can
be a very serious conditioned even deadly. Even asymptomatic venus
in sufficiency could increase risk of DVT more than five times,
and more than about ten thousand people in US die
(12:44):
from DVT every year in the United States.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Are you at an airport right now? I hope you
don't miss your flight? Are we holding you up for something?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
I'm in an airport, I'm infk I.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Heard announcements in the background. Well that's a little bit
lighting that if it's not treated. So how how does
someone know if they might have it?
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Sound? First of all, it's because it's very common. You
can almost self diagnose if someone has a bulging veins,
big roppie varkas veins, swollen lags, discoloration, brownish red discoloration,
think skin nine crabs, ninety nine percent, it will be veins.
(13:28):
Because it's very very common, and the perfect diagnosis is
just ultra sound. It's an inexpensive, easy ultrasound basketb ultra
sound the important thing. It needs to be done in
standing position because we need to check how valves work
against the gravity. If ultra sound is done in a
lying position.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
You'll not see it.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
It needs to be in standing and not every laboratory
announced how to do ultra sound standing position, usually just
in the places specialized to vane treatments. This study is done.
So it's very important to find clinics, dain treatment clinic
that will help with this and then we can identify
(14:11):
exactly what which veins are have a broken valve and
we can do the treatment basically close those segments and
redirect the blood flow into the right veins instead of
the wrong veins. That's and it's done, And they will
just sound guidance under We exactly see what we're doing.
And then the result and outcome and improvement is extraordinary
(14:35):
and immediate.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Great. Will you keep saying it's treatable. Is it curable?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Yes, yes, it's curable. So these veins, it's mechanical problem.
We fix this mechanical problem. Think like a flood in
the basement. You have a main pump and some pump,
and if valves between those pumps pipes are broken, whatever
goes up falls down. So we fix the problem with
(15:00):
the broken bell and some pump just takes the water
up and and flood stops. Exactly the same thing happens
with the veins. When we remove these segments, they take
blood in the wrong opposite direction, and everything goes in
the right direction. Everything stops. No more swelling, no more pain.
(15:25):
Because veins, you know, bad circulation creates two types of problem.
It's congestion and poor nutrition. Poor nutrition leads to pain
conjunction to swelling, and because of stagnation. Think like a
pond against instead of river. You have this DVT, you know,
deep vein trombosis because blood flow is sluggish and trump
(15:49):
can happen. That's the problem, the biggest problem with the condition.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And I would imagine your recommendation would be if anyone
thinks that they may have this, have any of the
symptoms that you talked about a moment ago, they get
right in to see a doctor, right and go to
one of the US vein clinics.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
We tried to see most of the patients within two
or three days because we have so many locations, who
have almost on hundred seventy locations to three states, more
than fourteen New York alogue. We work seven days a week,
long hours, just try to make sure that people have
access to care and then if left un treated, in
(16:32):
many situations, disease progress towards day. In Alcour's wounds, between
one to two percent of Medicare patients have open wood
from vain disease, which is terrible, completely preventable and completely treatable.
So I think, hopefully, I'm sure President Trump will be
(16:53):
fine and he will get appropriate treatment, and hopefully many
many thousands of listeners will pay attention and help themselves
by simply calling and second treatment. That will be very successful.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Not that right. There's always some good that comes out
of this and people get to learn a lot, and
I think a lot of people that didn't know what
you just told them. No, Now, thank you so much
for being with his doctor John.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
And I can only comment that President Trump and Tayland
that extraordinary thing, providing transparency and shading light to health
issues that no other president's ever done before. So that's
that's a very good trend.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, very well said, Yeah, that's exactly right. Most hired
them and he didn't. He came right out and said this,
and he might save a lot of people. Doctor Jan
katz Nelson, founder and CEO of us A Vain Clinics
over one hundred and sixty locations. You got forty right
here in New York alone, and they've been around for
(17:58):
forty years. By the way, you can learn about it
and maybe you can get an appointment if you need
to USA Vainclinics dot com. Doctor, thanks so much for
your time. Now let's get the news. It's nine to thirty.
Jaqueline Carl Jecklin.
Speaker 11 (18:12):
Good morning, the House is voting to pass a package
of nine billion dollars in doze spending cuts. Lawmakers voted
to sixteen to two thirteen to approve the cuts to
public broadcasting, global health programs, and foreign aid. This after
Republican senators narrowly passed the package Thursday. And the man
killed in a New Jersey lightning strike in Jackson Township
has been identified.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
He's sixty one year old Robert Montgomery of Cinnamonsen, an
archery instructor at the Black knight Bowbenders Range. He was
working with Cup Scouts members of Pack number two O
four when a lightning bolt struck and killed him and
insured multiple children, some who suffered burns. Tom Coopy was
on the phone with nine one one when he realized
(18:54):
his son Ryan had been hit.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
This batch.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Was trying to get as much information that I heard
my kids screaming for me.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I'm like, hey, I got to go my kids on.
My kids heard he was struck by lightning.
Speaker 12 (19:03):
The young Scouts are recovering and investigation is underway into
how all this happened. Sarah Lee Kessler WOOR News.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Now, let's head over to Wall Street. At the opening
bell the Dow opened up forty nine points, the s
and P up seven points. The Nasdaq opened up twelve points.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl. Superman dominates at the box office,
and Hollywood has yet another reboot because they've run out
of ideas. This time, it's I know what you did
last summer, I know what you did summer thirty years ago.
Is that what they're doing. We'll talk about both with
(19:44):
the Movie Minute host Joe Newmeyer. Next, all right, let's
talk about Superman first with Movie Minute hosts Joe Newmeyer
and film journalist Joe Neumeyer. They are one and the same,
by the way, I'm not talking about two different people.
So I didn't get to see Superman, but everybody that
(20:04):
I know that saw it, including my son, who does
a comic book podcast and knows more about Superman than
anybody I've ever met, loved it. Loved Superman.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
There you know I'm here, Larry. I gotta tell you.
So here's the thing. I for one thing, congrats to
your to your son.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
For one thing, that he obviously is a go getter
and guy has got a podcast, and that he has
a passion for comic book stuff. I always applaud that
to a degree. I'm not surprised because, as we talked
about last week, I'm not I gave this Superman one star.
I didn't like it, and I am I'm the outlier.
I mean, it was a huge box office hit. It's
like the third biggest opening weekend of so far.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Of the year.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
People seem to like it. It is to my eye,
geared towards towards kids, and it's and it's comic book style,
so that obviously tracks with with with your son's style
of what he wants. It just kind of for me,
it just felt like it was going too far into that.
It was too silly, It's too sort of ridiculous, and
I you know, like we joked about last week where
(21:08):
it's like, you know where when Crypto is the super
dog is the thing you walk out saying, oh man,
that was great about Crypto. To me, I think at
least it's just sort of it missed the mark. Now
I think that obviously, you know, maybe it's like different times,
different things. At the time that that first nineteen seventy
eight Superman came out, which I loved by and I
think we talked about to me that's my favorite superhero film.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But even though it was true to the original Superman.
That that's what my son likes so much about this one,
that it was true to the original Superman. If you
like that one, you should like this one.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
It's in theory I think that they just went too
it's they went too far that it's like they overcorrected
for the darkness of the like the Man of Steel
movies and Batman versus Superman and things like that. So
in theory, I just think that there's there's something missing.
There's some magic elements, some some you know some' is
like Kentucky Fried Chicken. There's some mysterious element missing. And
it's not about you know, the performance. You know, Christopher
(22:03):
Reeve obviously was fantastic. It's there have been other great
Superman actors. I think Brandon routh And and Henry Cavill,
we're both really good Superman actors. Actually, there's just something.
It just felt a little bit too young, it felt
a little bit too thin. It's like the threat to
the to the world wasn't sort of you know, wasn't
what it should be. H I thought that Nicholas out
(22:24):
As as Lex Luthor was okay, but his hit what
he kind of went about it, which seemed a little
like an echo of the gene Hackman lex Luthor. And
and you know, we're talking about it right now, by
the way, like it's geopolitics or something. But it's like
but but it seemed like a thin echo of what
of what the gene Hackman version of Luthor wanted to do,
(22:45):
which somehow like which had more hast to I mean,
he was gonna break out California off into the ocean.
This one sort of seemed like he was gonna start
a little scuffle in a in a in a middle
Eastern country and name himself.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
King, you know.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
I that just seemed like a little bit too thin
for me. And he had a team of guys all
sitting around at these computer screens. I don't you know,
That's just my thing. I feel like, if you've got
like Alex Luthor, he should be on his own and villainous.
He doesn't need a bunch of guys that computers like,
you know, answering phone calls for like telemarketers. So that's
(23:18):
there are sort of style things I didn't like, and
there were script things I didn't like. And as I
mentioned last week. I really liked the Guardians of the
Galaxy movies, which is, you know, the same director, James Gunn,
and especially the first two, and it doesn't seem like
it kind of wanted to be those movies. But it
also was sort of playing in the same pool as
it were, you know, So I'm not surprised that your
(23:38):
son liked it, because I think it was aimed a
little bit more young and it was, you know, towards
that demographic. Whereas if you watch that, and I know
your son also likes the Christopher read version.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
He rates them Christopher Reeve one and this one too.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
Yeah, yeah, he's got good taste. Obviously, he's got that
super Net one as first. But and that one also
came at an interesting time too. Look, it was nineteen
seventy eight in New York. You know, it was sort
of like, you know, just like people sort of forget
that the first Rocky was a seventies gritty movie in
some way, like that first Superman movie is existing in
a in a gritty seventies New York world, even though
it's not that gritty in the movie, it's just that
(24:13):
the era that it came out in and that's why
it was sort of a breath of fresh air. So yeah,
I guess I stand alone, you know, as everybody else
is going. I want people to go and enjoy movies,
no matter what, whether I like them or not. I
want people to go with them and have a great time,
you know. So I'm I'm glad that that it is
a success. It just wasn't for me. And but now
it's also obviously spawning all these other things, which is
(24:33):
which is great. You know, the next one's gonna be
Supergirl who shows up in this movie. You know, that's
not a spoiler.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And maybe we can get away of out of the
darkness of making all these Marvel movies and these DC
movies dark. Somehow I think people like light and yeah,
you know, and I do agree with that. Yeah, absolutely,
Well it's funny. Yeah, I mean those.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
I was just gonna say, the previous iteration of this,
like all those Man of Steel movies, we're so dark
and so heavy, and I and the and the you know,
the Justice League movie and all that stuff. I mean,
they were like going to a funeral, you know. Yeah,
this is much more, much more fun. Well, we're gonna
say the Lary you.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Have such an influence over me. I didn't see this
because of your review, and I really didn't and and
other ones that you've liked, even given three stars to
I've gone to see. This is the first weekend I
didn't see a movie. Now I definitely want to go
see it, and that might influence me and your reviews
from here on out, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh boy?
Speaker 10 (25:31):
Okay, right right, So either I'm gonna have to prove
myself but even more next time, or right exactly, well,
at least I will say this, go see Superman, Larry,
rather than I Know What you did last summer, which
is the big movie this weekend. Let's put it this way.
Next summer you will not be talking about, oh, you
know what, I Know what you saw last summer? Was
I Know what you did last summer. It's horrible. It's
a it's a it's what they call a legacy remake
(25:53):
of the nineteen ninety seven horror film that Jennifer Love, Hewitt,
Freddie Prince Junior, who all show up in this movie.
It's really a nothing. It's zero stars. But it also
makes me think of, you know, all those nineties horror movies,
and it was sort of that was sort of a
there's a lot going on in horror at that time. Yeah,
like what they should have remade? Remake something like The
Dark Half, which was a not necessarily successful Stephen King story,
(26:16):
or Idle Hands, this jokey horror flick, or Urban Legend,
which I thought was a great idea that back in
nineteen ninety eight was done terribly. But you know what's
the big here's the big controversy that I'm going to
set up. I think they should remake The Devil's Advocate,
the Keanu.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Reeves al Pacino movie.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
Remember that I love that, right, Yeah, me too, Me too,
But I think it would be great to remake it, Like,
how about somebody like Javier Bardem or Robert Downey Junior
as Satan screaming you know, God is an absentee landlord.
You know, something like that would be really fun and
he could kind of put a different spin on it
rather than something like I Know what you did last Summer,
(26:54):
which you know, even the title makes you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The problem was doing a remake of that movie is
that al Pacino was so good. Who who wants to
follow that?
Speaker 10 (27:03):
Right exactly? And at the time they you know, he
kind of got a little bit of guff because he's
going over the top. That's sort of set up that
whole like, oh my god, Pacino does you know, goes
too far? Sometimes he's two in the scenery. But I
think he's terrific in it. I think he's really fun
in having it, and he knows how fun the movie is.
He knows it's a it's an over the top thing.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I'll tell you what, if you're ever going to go
too far, playing the devil is the role where you
would want to.
Speaker 10 (27:24):
Go too far, right, exactly, you don't underplay playing the devil. Exactly,
you go go too far, get get the horns, get
to have a tried end, have a big pointy tail,
whatever you need to do right, go go too far.
I'm playing the devil.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So was there anything worth watching this weekend? Like, even
if I was going to watch something online, what's worth
while going to see a Superman? But what else? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (27:47):
Well, you know, it's it's interesting because the Superman movie
that's come out, you know, they're setting up all these
other things. It does remind me of you know, I
don't know if you saw the Robert Pattinson Batman because
they are gonna be making a new Batman out out
of this whole group. So and and while that was
a success, I think a lot of people thought that
what's kind of dark, and it is. It's like a
dark mystery. It kind of reminded me of Zodiac or something.
So something like The Batman or that reminded me of Zodiac.
(28:07):
Watch something like Zodiac, which has Robert Downey Junior in it,
a terrific sort of gritty thriller. It's in the seventies
about the Zodiac Killer.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
You know.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
While certainly if you want to stay away from from
darkness and dark movies, these are not the ones. But
I think that, like, if you wanted to sort of
check something out that was superherois but also dark, but
not not that DC dark, the Batman is the one
to do. It's directured by the guy who made the
uh those those those great reboots of the Plant the Age.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, that's a that's a great suggestion. Joe Numeier, film journalist,
WWR movie Minnered host. Thanks a lot, Joe, Thanks Erry.
When we come back. My final thoughts are recap of
today's show and the talk back of the morning and
the Sea Crane talk back of the week now with
some final thoughts. Here's Larry Ah. The world just feels
(28:55):
like a better place, doesn't it. It even smells nicer
once again. And untalented TV personality whose entire stick is
blasting Donald Trump has been shown the door. They used
to be funny Stephen Colbert now joins the grandstanding Jim
Acosta and the TDS deranged Joy Reid on the sidewalk
(29:18):
where they all got kicked to the curb by their
respective network CBSCNN and MSNBC, the big three of Trumpeters.
And have you noticed not too many are upset that
Colbert has been given the boot. That's because his ratings
were awful. He slowly drove away the majority of his
(29:41):
viewers who just wanted to be entertained, you know, like
David Letterman used to do before Colbert took over and
ruined the show. Now, paramount, who made the announcement and
is trying to sell the network, put out a statement
saying this had nothing to do with Cole Bear or
the content of the show. It was purely a monetary decision.
(30:06):
Yeah right, so I guess that it had nothing to
do with Colbert disobeying a directive not to talk about
paramount settling with Donald Trump in a lawsuit against sixty minutes.
After sixty minutes put a whole lot of work into
re editing their Kamala Harris interview to make her sound coherent.
(30:31):
Colbert not only talked about it, he ridiculed his own
network and called the settlement a bribe. He just couldn't
help himself. The left is so deranged. They're like suicide
bombers who are willing to destroy their own careers because
(30:53):
their hatred of Donald Trump has infected their brains. But
let's tell a rate another one down and try to
guess who's next. Joey behar Cooper Anderson, Jimmy Kimmel. We
see all of you betting odds say it's one of
(31:17):
those three that's gonna get the boot next. Oh, we
can only hope. Coming up next, Mark Simone has the
day off and stepping in is Ken Rozzatto, who welcomes
new Jersey assembly Woman Don Fantasia, and Vincent Wagner, an
attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom. Plus Listen for the
(31:38):
keyword right after the ten o'clock news, then head to
seven to ten wr dot com for your chance to
win one thousand dollars. But first, let's get a quick
recap of today's show. ABC News Washington Bureau chief Rick
Klein believes that Donald Trump has to satisfy the MAGA
crowd if he wants to questions surrounding Jeff Epp Jeffreepps
(32:00):
to go away.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
If this was just Democrats jumping up and down, this
would not be a story anymore. But it's not. His
former National Security advisor Michael Flynn with an impassioned plea
on this. We saw Joe Rogan go off on this.
I mean, these are these are big, big names with
huge followings that think there's something up here. And yes,
Democrats have seized the political advantage here, but but this
is this. If this continues, it's going to be because
of Donald Trump's own base.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Doctor Jon katz Nelson from the USA Vein Clinics provided
insight into the recent vein condition diagnosed for Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
It's very common, easy to diagnose, and I'm glad it's
just a beenos insufficiency, not hot problem, not kidney problem.
And the reason that's good because it's easily treatable.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Republican nominee for New York City Mayor, Curtis Leewood does
not care about criticism of his red beret.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
If the red beret is the reason that you won't
vote for me, and you vote for a guy with
a five thousand dollars customized suit who's a maya and
angew como, smacking fannies and killy granny's, that's your reason
forout voting for me. I'm going back into the subway
to where I campaign, where people can identify me by.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
That red beret.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Well, the talk back of the morning and winner of
the MENTI in the Morning T shirt who talked about
his nagging wife.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
I'm married forty eight years and my wife has never
nagged me in her mind. Okay, but without that nagging,
I wouldn't be who I am today. And that love
it for it and I hope she never stops.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, I knew they were gonna pick that one. Thank
you for all your incredible talkbacks this week. They really
add to the show. Now time for the talk back
of the week.
Speaker 13 (33:44):
Americans get upset if you cut the line in a
grocery store or in a fast food chain. Do you
think they're not going to get upset if they cut
the line to become American citizens and getting all the
benefits by cheating the system.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
The best talkback of the week takes home an ac
crane radio. Sea crane radios deliver the reception and clarity
you deserve. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Now
the news. It's ten o'clock
