Hour 4: Workforce future

Workforce future.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, welcome back. I'm hoping if you're gonna go out
of town or you're gonna get on the shore for
the Labor Day weekend, you're there already. Although I haven't
heard any real reports of horrible traffic. I think everybody
got to where they wanted to go already. I hope
that's the case. But it's gonna be gorgeous. It's going
to be beautiful down the shore. So regardless if you

(00:21):
go on the Long Island beaches, or you go to
the City beaches, or you go to the Jersey Shore,
it is going to be just beautiful. Get out and
enjoy it. Even if you're not going to the beach,
just try to get out and enjoy it. Thanks so much, though,
for spending some time to listen to us today in
the Big Three. Of course, what else could lead with?

(00:42):
It was a day after the horrific mess shooting at
a church in Minneapolis, and we're still hearing stories of
true bravery, even by the children.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Over the past day, I've heard many stories accounting the
swift and herlic actions of children and adults alike from
inside the church. Without these people and their selfless actions,
this could have been a tragedy of many magnitudes more
for these people, I'm thankful.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And I'll tell you what everybody wants to be, Donald
Trump and fighting crime. You have Gavin Newsom sending a
thousand highway patrol people to the cities to take on crime,
and now Mayor Adams is doing something similar.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
We have a thousand new offices in the Bronx and
we're going to ensure that they're in the hotspots. We're
going to get on be on the ground to talk
with and partner with our crisis management team so they
could identify so many gang rivalries.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's after more than a dozen shootings in the past
week in the Bronx, and you'll remember five during an
outdoor basketball game over the weekend that killed three. Andrew
Cuomo is warning New Yorkers that if zorin mam Donni
becomes mayor, President Donald Trump will take over New York City.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
If Zoran Mandami became mayor, how long would it be
before he took control of New York City?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
A day, two days a week. At the All Important
Path station in Hoboken, New Jersey, it's going to be closed.
They have signs out saying that it's going to be closed.
They suggest other ways to get into the city. It's
going to be closed all the way until five a m.
On Tuesday morning, leaving commuters trying to figure out how

(02:35):
else to get into the city. I just have to
add another maybe thirty to sixty minutes to make sure
I'll be I'll be down time. And today is the
twentieth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
A lot of mixed emotions, and we think about what
went right, what went wrong. But I said, I don't
want to let these days of commemoration go by without
remembering those who lost their lives.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's actor Wendell Pierce, who became famous during Hurricane Katrina
for going there and helping work of helping people get
through it. It was the city that he grew up in.
Over eighteen hundred people died in Hurricane Katrina. Now let's
get to Kevin's really futurist reporter and founder of Meet
the Future website. Kevin, I appreciate you being here today.

(03:27):
You are sort of a man on the hour because
we've had so many stories that have to do with
a I and I don't think a whole lot of
people understand exactly what is going on and how pervasive
AI is already in our lives. Let's start with this.
How much is it going to threaten the workforce?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
You know, I think there's I'm an optimist, as you know,
especially when it comes to embracing technology, and I think
there's a lot of upside if you play your cards right.
You know, there's this coin term that's been making its
way this year through the zeitgeist of the technology world,
and that's these super workers. The new star employees aren't
necessarily faster, but they're smarter with AI. So a big

(04:13):
conversation in the education front is, oh, are students cheating
with AI? I don't like that word, I mean even
in the workplace. So did you use AI to write
that report? Well, I hope you did, But the question
is can you still make it sound human? And these
super workers have cracked that code. These are early adopters,
people who have figured out ways to be able to

(04:33):
be more streamlined in the workplace, scheduling meetings, replying to emails.
They're called super workers. Think about it from the sense
of AI. A lot of these growth revenues, they're seeing
three x revenue growth, and top talent is getting ahead
with their salaries as a result of embracing it. But
I also think that it's leading us to another conversation

(04:54):
about entry level jobs. We've heard, you know, I've talked
to you, Larry about the whole notion of you know,
white collar jobs and mid level jobs and whatnot. But
the AI kids who are cashing in are the ones
to double down on artificial intelligence and learning it. These
AI startups. The starting salaries for these kids out of
college two hundred thousand dollars not bad.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
How proficient do you have to be at AI to
get that salary right out of college.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Well, it's not just being proficient in it, it's also
learning how to design the llms, how to be able
to teach others the lms, and being able to recognize
sort of what businesses are going to be needing in
the next three to five years. You know, we've all
heard of SEO, for example, but you know, artificial intelligence models,
especially if you're a business. You're gonna want your news

(05:46):
if you're in the media industry, or you're gonna want
your data if you're in the data industry, picked up
by the artificial intelligence bots, because that's the new Google
and so thinking like that, that's why these college kids
are making so much money.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, so you're saying the people that just like major
in AI, they know AI, know how to develop AI,
are going to get these big jobs. But what about
the people that are proficient at it. I would imagine
they have a step up over somebody else no matter
what they do, if they know AI.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Correct. And you know, and I said this to a
business community, meaning that I that I presented at a
couple of weeks ago, which is people should be thinking
of AI as like a senior vice president in their
org chart. And that can be kind of controversial but
of a statement, but it's true in the sense that
the entry level jobs are going to have to learn

(06:43):
the AI system. The c suite is going to have
to understand how AI is going to be integrated into
their organization chart and the deliverables that they want their
AI to perform and automate, and the employees are going
to have to work seamlessly with it. But it all
comes back to security and trust. If this information isn't
something that your organization or your colleagues are able to

(07:05):
interact with, then it's useless and it's just cumbersome. But
if it is able to enhance the ability for your
company to meet their KPIs and whatnot, then it's better
for them. But I would also argue that in the
culture because of the rise of AI, and then this
come back to work, back to the office. You and
I have talked about this when I was you know,

(07:25):
I'm actually in New York today for other meetings, but
when I saw you in the studio, I'm a big
fan of going into the office. But the four day
work week, I think is going to pick up steam
in the sense that because of AI making things faster
and more efficient. A lot of global trials have showed
that not only are workers eighteen percent happy or cutting

(07:46):
stressed by twenty six percent, but company profits are boosted. So,
you know, we could talk about a four day work
week as we head into a three day weekend, but
then that is implications for the political world, which about
you cover because you know certain industries maybe you know
one a four day work week, but one at a
five day salary, blah blah blah blah blah. So it

(08:08):
is really fascinating how the culture around work is evolving.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well, here's the amazing thing about a four day work week.
Not only are workers happy with that because they get
an extra day off, but apparently profits are up, right.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Profits are up and so from a four day work
week perspective, you know, if it lets you be more
efficient and it gets people back into the office and
it gets people back, you know, I would argue downtown
into the business districts and that has a I would
argue a positive effects on the economy and people can
be more efficient. You know, it might be time. You know,
Americans are notoriously bad at taking vacations, so you know,

(08:45):
maybe maybe maybe we've all been working up to this moment.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Larry, Yeah, well, I hope, so that would be really nice.
What about robots? How big are they going to be
in our future when we go to work or in
some the workplaces.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
Well, especially in manufacturing and advanced manufacturing. A couple of
years ago, I did a tour of a plant in
Arizona where they were making semiconductor trips, and I felt
like I was in honey. I shrunked the kids because
I saw all of these I mean, I saw these
humans manning the robots.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
It was wild.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
It was a secure facility, deep underground in the Arizona Desert,
and I had to put on the bunny suit, the whites,
you know, the white suit and all of that, and
I watched these engineers control robots and it was really
like a scene out of the future flash forwards. Today,
the Wall Street Journal has the story out this week
about a Hyundai plant where there's seven hundred and fifty robots.
But the point of the story isn't that the robots

(09:37):
are here. It's that the humans didn't lose their jobs.
The humans are manning the robots, and that I think
is also going to be incredibly important because you do
need the humans there to make sure that the robots don't,
you know, start making put the left tire on the
right side of the right eye on the left.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Side, right right. And you don't want them taken over
the world either, So you want to human there, absolutely not,
Thanks Larry.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
The last point, the robots don't have purchasing power, so
the human maintains the power because they have the money.
So they're making the cars for humans to buy. Never
forget that, because that's the leverage that humanity has for now.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Kevin Surreally a futurist reporter and founder of Meet the
future website. Thanks so much. Talk to you again, Kevin.
You think prices are out of control at the ballpark? Wait,
do you hear what they're charging for food at the
US Open. We'll talk about that after the break. Welcome back.
Thanks so much for your talkbacks today. We're wrapping up
the talkbacks right now, but the ones we're about to

(10:38):
play now will be in the running for the talkback
of the morning, and you might possibly win a mentee
in the morning T shirt and then you were in
the running also for the talk back of the week.
A sea crane radio. Sea crane radios deliver the reception
and clarity you deserve.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Nice.

Speaker 7 (11:00):
They're putting more cops in the Bronx. Big deal of cops,
rust people. I let them right back out. They need
to bring back stop and frisk. I don't care if
the person's carrying drugs, whatever they carry, but if they're
carrying a weapon, they should be locked up carrying drugs.
That's someone's choice if they want to use their drugs
and od that poor little girl got shot for no reason,
just watching a basketball game.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, I agree with you. Stop they like to call
it now, stop questioning frisk? Now when I say they
like to call it. The police officers want to call
it that, because you just don't stop somebody and frisk them.
You interview them first and find out if they're a
little bit suspicious or if they would open up their jacket,
and many of them will not do that, and then
that goes to frisking. But that has been an extremely

(11:46):
successful means of stopping criminals, and I'm not sure why
it's even controversial. I remember I one time years ago,
I was hosting I was the model of a debate,
a mayoral debate in Philadelphia, and a guy named Michael Nutter,
who was the councilman, was far behind and I asked

(12:07):
him the question, don't people have the right to privacy?
And he said people have the right not to be shot,
and then he gave a long answer about stopping frisk
and from there he catapulted to become the next mayor
of Philadelphia. I think politicians sometimes are afraid to take
a stance on this. But if you were to say,
I think the if one of the Democratic candidates were

(12:30):
to say, you know what, bring in the National Guard.
We could use all the help we could get. I know,
the crime rates not where it was, but we could
use all the help we could get. And if you're
gonna bring federal funds, we'll take that too. I think
it'd be a smart thing for a mayoral candidate to
do that, but they're just too scared.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Laury.

Speaker 8 (12:48):
Doesn't anybody believe in federalism anymore. Local crime control is
the province of the mayors and the governors of the state.
It's none of the federal governments stamp business. If you
think the answer is sending the National Guard, the governor
could send in the National Guard anytime he or she wants. Okay,
we don't need the federal government and Donald Trump butting

(13:10):
into things. Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, well, you're saying everything you said is extremely true.
That's why he's asking for permission when it comes, unless
he wants to declare a national emergency. Even then he's
limited on what he can do. And by the way,
we keep talking about the National Guard, and we shouldn't.
That's a small part of what's happening in Washington, d C.
He's also bringing in other federal resources and they are

(13:35):
more important than National Guard. The National Guard's just a deterrent,
that's all it is. People see the National Guard. They
don't want to commit a crime. The intelligence, the intelligence
that comes in with the federal government is extremely important,
and it's the reason crime is so far down in Washington,

(13:55):
d C. And by the way, you do understand, Washington,
DC is a little bit different than all the other states,
all the other cities like New York and Chicago and
Los Angeles. You're right, that's where federalism takes hold. And
you can't just go into those cities. You really have
to be invited to go in, and that has not
happened yet. Although I don't understand why. I mean, I

(14:18):
get your point, and you're absolutely right, but why if
somebody is offering those resources. The only reason you say no,
it's because of politics and because it's Donald Trump. They've
shown it's happened here in New York and it's worked
when Kathy Hochel did it. So I don't get it.
But thank you so much for your talkback. And you

(14:38):
were absolutely right on that point. Thank you so much
for your talk back. Now let's talk about the US open.
Everybody complains about the prices at baseball games and football games.
Let me give you a couple things here. How much
do you think chicken nuggets are. Now they're special chicken nuggets.
You get a lot more with these chicken nuggets. But
how much do you think they go for at the

(14:59):
US Open.

Speaker 9 (15:01):
I've been there before, I used to work there, so
I know that's a little higher priced. I'm gonna say
twenty eight dollars for chicken nuggets.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Man, that was good?

Speaker 10 (15:09):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (15:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's twenty six No, but you were you were in
range with that. How about a brisket sandwich?

Speaker 9 (15:17):
Oh, my way, pigott take got a loan for that?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
No, twenty six dollars. Wait, really, that's the same vers
as chicken nuggets.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
How would you go with the nuggets?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Then?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
How about barbecue nachos? Thirty one twenty four dollars?

Speaker 9 (15:32):
Wow, you're I'm going the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I'm going there. That expensive taste. You're more expensive than
some of the drinks are outragers. Some of them cost
one hundred dollars.

Speaker 9 (15:39):
That okay?

Speaker 11 (15:41):
What drink costs one hundred dollars?

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Watermelon slice? Oh my god?

Speaker 11 (15:46):
Yeah, it's well, you know, watermelon, it's very expensive.

Speaker 10 (15:49):
Yeah, right, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
You can't walk to the grocery store and find the
basket of them.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Now, let's get the latest news with Jacqueline Carl at
nine to thirty.

Speaker 11 (15:59):
Jacklin, Hey, I already say the gunmen who carried out
the Minnesota school shooting was a former student at the
Catholic school. Two children were killed in this week's shooting
and over a dozen others were injured. Minneapolis Police Chief
Brian O'Hara says the shooter who killed himself after the
shooting used to go to the school and his mother
worked at the Catholic church. Record high travel numbers are

(16:21):
expected as people get away for Labor Day weekend.

Speaker 12 (16:25):
Port Authority expects a record high six point six million
travelers to use its New York City area airports and
vehicle crossings this weekend. That includes Newark, JFK LaGuardia Airports.
Triple A spokesperson Robert Sinclair.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
We think that it's going to be busy.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Airfares, hotels, rental car rates semestically are all significantly lower
compared to a year ago.

Speaker 12 (16:46):
As far as the roads go, Triple A is advising
drivers to try and travel early in the morning over
the next few days, with the afternoons and evenings expected
to be the heaviest, with traffic. Gas prices are lower
than they were this time a year ago. I'm Scattpringle WRDW.

Speaker 11 (17:00):
So Larry Chris, I want you to think about this
question very very carefully. Our social media likes worth being
eaten by cannibals.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'd say no. I mean, yeah.

Speaker 9 (17:15):
I do get a little high when I get some
some social media attention. But I don't want to get eaten.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh, we don't need to know about your drug habits.

Speaker 12 (17:22):
No, I meant like a like a.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
High.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yes, I don't get high. I get a high.

Speaker 11 (17:30):
According to The New York Post, Dereta is a travel
influencer from Ireland who recently visited the Indonesian half of
New Guinea, New Guinea to try and make contact with
the tribe of cannibals in Papa. The video clearly shows
the tribe is not happy about the boats passed by,
and one of the tribesmen can even be seen pointing

(17:51):
a spear at Ta, who even tried to make a
peace offers, offering with a bag of salt.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I don't know how from the boat she sent the.

Speaker 11 (17:58):
Salt, but anyway, Some who viewed the video are accusing
the influencer of exploiting the locals for TikTok clicks no kidding,
and suggests that he should have just left the tribe alone.
When it comes to cannibals. That's where I draw the line.

Speaker 9 (18:13):
Yeah, I'm staying away.

Speaker 11 (18:14):
I'm not going and trying to get a selfie with
any cannibal.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
They can have their space. It's fine. Very early in
that story, what I have drawn the line, I don't
know you. I would never have gotten to the end
of that story. By the way, Chris Schweitzer is filling
in for Natalie Vaka this week, who's enjoying a much
needed vacation.

Speaker 11 (18:32):
Stocks Yes, the opening bell is sponsored by Dime Community Bank.
We've got your bank, coming to Lakewood, New Jersey in
twenty twenty six, but serving New York for over one
hundred and sixty years.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
All right, so there's the opening bell.

Speaker 11 (18:48):
The Dow opened down seventy five points, the S and
P opened down twelve points, and the Nasdaq opened down
seventy eight points.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Thank you so much. Is there anything worth seeing in
the theaters this week? It's a big weekend three days.
Is there a big movie out there? And more importantly,
have they come up with an original concept. Yet we'll
talk to film journalist Joe Neumeyer about that next. So
we have a three day weekend and you're probably trying

(19:18):
to figure out what you could watch in the movie theaters,
what you could watch online, what you could stream. And
the guy with all the answers about that is Joe Newmyer,
film journalist and host of the woor Movie Minute. He's
with us every Friday at this time. So Joe, what's
worth our time this weekend?

Speaker 10 (19:39):
Good Morningalry, Well, I'm gonna start off by saying that
the thing that's worth your time actually is that there's
a great documentary about Jaws, and Jaws is in the
movie theaters again this weekend. I'm not sure why they
didn't re release it back in May when what that
actually was the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. I remember you
and I talking about it at the time. But if
back in theaters again this weekend, Steven Spielberg's original terrific

(20:00):
nineteen seventy five films, But there's a documentary on Hulu
and streaming called Jaws at fifty that's a lot of
fun and really terrific, and even for people like me
who know a lot about Jaws, know all about the Lord.
There's still things you can learn about it, and it's terrific.
So that would be the thing that I would say
is a great way to close out summer or a
movie summer specifically, is to watch Jaws at fifty this

(20:21):
great documentary on Hulu, because I really think it's terrific.
It's a lot of fun. And then if you want
to go to the movie theaters and see Jaws, right.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, but that's that's a horrible that's horrible for what's
in the theaters. You're saying, just go online, don't go
to the theaters because it's all junk.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
Just when you thought it was safe to go back
to the theaters, you know. Well, except I will also
say that that in fifty years, I'm not quite sure that.
I mean, there obviously has been, but I'm not sure
there's anything as fun as Jaws in the last fifty years.
But right, the big movie this weekend is called Caught Stealing.
I don't know big is sort of the right adjective
for it. I haven't had a chance to see it,
but it's a heist movie. And if there's Austin Butler

(21:03):
who was really good as Elvis a couple of years
ago in the In the Elvis movie that Baz Luhrman did,
so he plays a guy in the in the late
nineties movie set in the late nineties in the East Village,
which I was in the East Village in the nineties.
I don't know how good of a job it does
of recreating it, and who kind of runs a foul
of some Russian mobsters when he finds some drugs and

(21:24):
there's a runaway cat that causes problems. I don't know,
you know. The biggest thing I would I would say
is A, keeps the runaway cats out of your heist movies,
and B if you're looking for great heist movies, My
movie minute this weekend talks about some of the greats,
and just to rattle off a few of them. I
know you've probably seen a whole bunch that I maybe forgot,

(21:45):
but let's throw him in there. Obviously, there's there's Heat,
the great nineteen ninety five film with Robert de Niro
and al Pacino teaming up for the first time technically
on screen, not you know, Godfather Part two doesn't count,
which has got one of the great cinematic shootouts in history.
Then there's of course the original Thomas Crown Affair from
nineteen sixty eight with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, which

(22:06):
I think is terrific and is far better than the
remake that they did back in the late nineties with
Pierce Brosman. So that first Thomas Crown Affair is great.
I also like there's a very fun nineteen seventy film
called Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood. He's a World War
Two soldier who gets a bunch of military misfits to
steal Nazi gold. It sort of was around the same

(22:27):
time as The Dirty Dozen and kind of gets forgotten
a little bit, but I like Kelly's Heroes. Then there's
a great two thousand and six film with Denzel Washington
called Inside.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I love that likely, Yeah, that was the top of
my list. I love that movie.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
Yeah, terrific film. Jody Foster's in it, He's really great,
Denzel is really fantastic in it. Clive Owen is the
thief in there. I also want to sort of point
out you gotta watch out because movies like that sometimes
there have been movies that have been incredibly successful and
then they have weird sequels or direct to what used
to be called to video sequels. Now they would be
called I guess direct to streaming sequels. So Inside Man

(23:04):
is one of those where if you're kind of cruiser
around on the on the on the cable schedule a
little bit, you'll see like that there's sort of an
unofficial sequel or a sequel is called, like you know whatever,
Inside Man two, Electric Googloo or something.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (23:17):
Just stick with the original. Find that one on tables.
That's really great.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
You know what movie I really loved. I loved the
movie Town, which didn't do well to that.

Speaker 10 (23:26):
Yeah, I think it.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yes, Ben Affleck, I think it was in the middle
of the I hate Ben Affleck thing, but he he
was good in it and it was really good.

Speaker 10 (23:36):
Totally agree. And in fact, that's the movie that he
did just before Argo, which of course got Best Picture
in twenty twelve. So the Town in some ways led
to Argo. I like the Town as well. I think
it's really good. The other thing is that, you know,
people sort of have to remember because some people say, oh,
you know, is the is the Sting the great you know,
card game movie a heist movie, and it's not. I mean,
it's sort of that's that's a slightly different genre. That's

(23:57):
sort of a scam or a caper kind of thing.
So I would while I like this thing, I wouldn't
count it as a heist movie. Same thing with Dog
Ed Afternoon, as much as I love Dog Afternoon, and
it's it's about a heist going wrong, it's not technically
about a heist. You know, The Pink Panther, the original
Pink Panther also sort of about a heist, but not
quite the same thing, but you know, David Niman is

(24:19):
stealing the diamond in there that's originally called the Pink Panther.
And then Ocean's eleven I eleven as a past movie
of course, right, yeah, that's got to be in there.
The original is a lot of fun because of the
nineteen sixty feel of it in the rat pack, but
I think that that the two thousand and one remake
is actually better because it's a little bit more streamline.
It's more fun. But either version, you kind of can't

(24:42):
go wrong with either. Either the nineteen sixty or the
two thousand and one version are both terrific, right, you
love both of those, I'm sure, and even the sequels,
I'm sure, Larry right.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
I Also there was a movie that didn't I don't
think people are going to remember, and people probably didn't see,
called Thief with James Kahn. Remember that a long time ago.

Speaker 10 (24:59):
One h do the same director as Steve as as
Heat in fact, Michael Mann. It's a great film, yeah,
with James conn Tuesday Weld. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
And also if you're into these type of movies, den
of Thieves. Most people at critics probably hated it. But
I'm a sucker for these movies completely.

Speaker 10 (25:15):
I like that, and of these as well. I also think,
you know, there's there's things like The Italian Job, which
was a lot of fun, like both the nineteen sixty
nine original and the two thousand and four remake is good.
And then there's a film that people you know, really
didn't like, but I thought it was okay back in
twenty eleven called Tower Heist with Ben Stiller and Eddie
Murphy and Alan Alda and and Stiller is a security

(25:36):
guy who decides to rob one of his rich tenants
in this during the Thanksgiving Day parade on Fifth Avenue,
And that's a lot of fun it's got a very
fun New Yorky sort of feel to it. And then
of course you kind of go back to like the
classics and things like there's a great film, the nineteen
fifty film The Asphalt Jungle, which is kind of a
footnote because it's really the first Marilyn Monroe appearance. I mean,

(25:59):
even though she was in all about even a few
other things, she's really build in there for the first time.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
And that's a John Houston film from nineteen fifty one
of the great too. Also another one, the Taking of
Pelham one two three. Remember that.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Oh that was tremendous.

Speaker 10 (26:12):
Yes, yes, fantastic film, right, and also one of the
great New York movies. You know that Subway, the whole
Subway sequence of Walter Mathow and Robert Shawn everything. It's
a great film.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
So you are amazing. You are just amazing. You're like
an encyclopedia. It's unbelievable to hear you go through all
of this. Joe Numai a film journalist and wo R
Movie Minute host. He is with us every Friday at

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Let's talk streaming stuff that's.

Speaker 10 (26:50):
Like that too. Yeah, next time we'll talk on it
all right, Hey.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Lady Joe, thank your weekend when we come back. My
final thoughts, a recap of today's show talk Back in
the Morning and the Sea Crane Talk Back of the Week,
and our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back September nineteenth and
twenty at the Temobile Arena in Las Vegas, two nights
on one stage, live performances by Brian Adams, John Fogerty,
Sammy Hagar, Ed Sheeran, Maroon Five, Mariah Carey and Moore.

(27:17):
But while the world is listening on iHeart, you can
be right there and watch it live. Listen for three
chances every weekend to win tickets plus airfare, plus hotel
and one thousand dollars in cash. Your next chance to
win comes up right after the one o'clock news this
afternoon on Minty in the Morning on WR Here's Larry

(27:42):
and some final thoughts. You may have heard about the
controversy that there may have or may not have been
a rash of mass shootings involving transgender shooters. This topic
has risen to the very top of the social media
topic heap after another mass shooting at church in Indianapolis.

(28:03):
In Minneapolis, the shooter is twenty three year old Robin Westman,
who was born Robert Westman. A long list has been
highlighted on social media of transgender mass shooters, and some
of them are just not true, but enough are true
for this to be concerning, especially in the past few years. Ironically,

(28:25):
the two most hope high profile recent transgender shootings is
this week's shooting at a Catholic school and church in Minneapolis.
The shooter, Robert Westman, is a former student of the school,
and a shooting in Nashville at a private Christian school
that killed six Audrey Hale, a transgender woman, was also

(28:49):
alumni of Christian school. There are a few other mass
shootings over the past decade where the shooter was transgender,
but the topic itself, you can't even bring up, controversial
and has become political with conservatives, including shootings that were
not carried out by a transgender person in liberals screaming
that there's no connection whatsoever. There are some things more

(29:12):
important than trans politics. How about the lives of innocent children. Yes,
this will and should be studied away from the noise
of politics, because the video manifesto of the Minneapolis shooter
exposes several mental health and identity problems by the shooter,

(29:34):
and the manifesto in Nashville was hidden from us, but
needs to be studied. Too many times these political fights
cost lives. We all need to get out of the
way and let the experts work unencumbered by the distraction
of political bickering. Coming up, Ken Rizzotto fills in for

(29:58):
Marc Simone and he wellco New Jersey Senator Parker Space
and criminal defense attorney and law enforcement expert Eric fattis
now a recap of today's show. WR National correspondent Rory
O'Neil thinks Donald Trump may be getting frustrated with Putin
after he continues to escalate issues with Ukraine.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
The fact that Russia has ramped up this aggression clearly
has to be frustrating President Trump, who you know at
the time, is saying, I think Putin wants peace. I
think he wants peace. Well, here's evidence that maybe he doesn't,
and that instead he wants to drag his feet and
continue this.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
ABC News Washington Bureau Chief Rick Klein doesn't think the
CDC protest will amount to much as long as RFK
Junior and Donald Trump stick to their guns.

Speaker 13 (30:48):
We've seen resignations and demonstration walk out at the CDC
headquarters in Atlanta over these policies. These are public health
professional doctors who say they're being forced into taking essentially
put I think, at the end of the day, only
so much you can do. Bobby Kennedy's the AHHS secretary.
A lot of members of Congress, including senators who confirmed him,
are really concerned about this, but the executive branch has

(31:10):
a lot of power in cases like this.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Futurist reporter and founder of the Meet the Future website
Kevin Siilli is all in on the AI future. We're
headed towards.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
The new star. Employees aren't necessarily faster, but they're smarter
with AIS. Or are students cheating with AI even in
the workplace? So did you use AI to write that report?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Well?

Speaker 5 (31:36):
I hope you did, but the question is can you
still make it sound human? And these super workers have
cracked that code?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
And the talk back of the Morning and winner of
the Mentee in the Morning T shirt is tired of
the Democrats' double standards.

Speaker 11 (31:52):
I don't want to hear one Democrat talk about gun control.

Speaker 8 (31:55):
We had Biden who partnered his son on three gun charges.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
Hypocrisy, It's all hypocrisy.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Thank you for all your incredible talkbacks this week. They've
all been amazing and most importantly, they help the show
because you inspire conversation. So, without further ado, let's get
to the talk back of the week and winner of
the Sea Crane Radio. Sea Crane Radios deliver the reception
and clarity you deserve.

Speaker 14 (32:24):
These big blue toilet towns are a mess on purpose.
They've been run by Democrats since the sixties, some of
them from even sooner. This is intentional. This is the
destabilization process so that the Marxist can take over.
