Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now from my Heart Radio World headquarters in New York City,
has Many in the Morning on seven tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Filling in for Larry. Here's Jimmy Fayler.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good morning, New York City. You fine thing. It is
Menty in the morning. I am not Larry Menty. No
you're not, and you are not in Tehran, so be
thankful for that. As we get into Way, Jimmy Phyla
from the Fox News Network sitting in for the Great
Larry Menty, who is off at the Furry Convention this weekend.
Let's hope he wins top prize. That is, of course
a joke. We're gonna try to keep it light for
(00:34):
the next four hours because the world is on fire.
But it is Friday, so we shall roast some radio
marshmallows along the way. If you are listening, get a
hold of that iHeart app leave us a talkback. We
want to hear from you during today's show. As we
get into Way. Here on seven to ten, WR the
voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
If you're not familiar with me, right before we get
to the Big Three, I am the newest member of
the WOR lineup. My show Fox Across America airs every
weeknight from nine to twelve. We are heading into our
fifth broadcast tonight this evening nine pm. We have lasted
four hole shows, which means a lot of people lost
money in Vegas, including myself. I had the under two
(01:12):
and a half shows. I thought they would have cut
my mic somewhere around Wednesday, but nevertheless, as a testament
to your four day commitment to our relationship, I will
be doing my show from nine to twelve tonight entirely locally.
It will not be national, Natalie. I'll be opening up
the phones here in New York City.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So you're here from six to ten this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I am essentially under house arrest right now. I don't
know how this. If there's some type of child labor law,
I would qualify given my limited intellect. But I will
be live tonight from nine to twelve doing a completely
local show.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think I'm going to have to tune in just
to see how you're still going to survive that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, if you do tune in, you will double my ratings,
So thank you for that much here for you. Well,
let's get underway on this glorious Friday with the Big Three.
Of course, I alluded to it in the opening Israel
launching airstracks on Iran's nuclear program overnight, killing top military officials.
We have some sound from Net and Yahoo here. It
as bbe taken away.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
How as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time it again,
Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation
to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel
backs those words with action.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So that's Net and Yahoo going full twisted sister and
saying We're not going to take it. I do believe
the President yesterday may have been involved in a headfake
as it pertains to these strikes, because when he spoke
to reporters, President Trump said he was hoping to see
peace in the region, and then, of course the strikes
occurred later that evening. Some people are saying this is
sign of a rift between Net and Yahoo and Trump.
(02:42):
It might just be sign of Trump play a more
disciplined ball. I don't have the answer on that. We are,
of course mindful of all the chaos and casualties that
could be ensuing right now, so we want to keep
these people in our thoughts, and we want to move
on to story number two because we will be covering
this in a little more extensively later in the show.
Story number two, though very much feeds off story number one,
(03:02):
because we had our final New York City Mayoriel debate
last night and things got a little heated, a little
heated between Mom Donnie and Andrew Cuomo. Now you know, Mom,
Donnie's obviously upset because anytime there's a good day for Israel,
it's a bad day for him. We've kind of figured
out how this works.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
He was also upset because nobody could pronounce his name.
Nobody's not happy about it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know, That's why he should be on with me.
As a former New York City cab driver, do you
know how many guys I know name on? I mean,
this is a real story. Do you want to hear
a real story real quick?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I do?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay? As a former New York City cab driver, I
sadly I knew three guys named Osama bin Laden for
real that were in my taxi garage. So in twenty fifteen,
when Obama finally got him, my buddy called me up.
He's like, turn on the tv. They got bin Laden.
I was like, for what speeding? I told them to
slow down. I knew different guys are the different names.
(03:53):
But the point is when Donnie gets upset, they don't
know how to pronounce his name. It was a very
fiery debate. Let's start here. This is Cuomo and mom
Donnie going back and forth.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
This is a man who has done nothing, He has
zero accomplishments. Now he thinks he's going to be ready
to be mayor.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, so he started with what he said was a
lack of accomplishments on Mondannie's side. To Mondannie's credit, he
brought up some of Cuomo's accomplishments and they weren't all good.
I have never had to resign in disgrace.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I have never cut medicaid.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from
the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who
credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued
for their gynecological records. And I have never done those
things because I am not you. So we're gonna put
him down as a maybe on cuomo good part.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
If that was the first time ever somebody said gynecological
records in a mayoral debate without at least.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A word involved. I mean, what just went on there
bit of a food fight. I hope these two get
a You know what's funny when you think of the
Trump campaign, When you think of traditional political campaigns, guys
attack each other a lot in the campaign trail and
then eventually drop out and endorse the other guy. I
don't see the winner of this race getting the loser's endorsement.
That could just be me. But we move on, because
there was one more back and forth Tammany Hall comment
(05:11):
that I got a kick out of to.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Mister Lander and his experience. Remember this was the fiscal
watchdog under the Eric Adams administration, which was like the
bookkeeper at Tammany Hall.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh no, you didn't. But what's so funny about that
one is that was the only time anyone mentioned Comptroller
Brad Lander's name the whole night. So he was thrilled.
He didn't care about the attack. It was just an
honor to be mentioned. It's like when weird Al Yankovic
parodied your song back in the day. At least you
knew you had the world's attention. A third story in
the Big Three as we move on. In appeals court
(05:43):
blocked a ruling that was ordering Donald Trump to return
control of the National Guard to California. To put that
into plain English, that means the president of the United
States kind of sort of still has control of our military.
But this one's going to go back and forth. And
the truth is, if you've been following the Trump administration
since he got sworn in in January, it often feels
(06:05):
to me like the opposition is just trying to run
clock everything Trump does, some local appellate court judge issues
and injunction, then they've got to take that to the
Supreme Court or get some type of stay or pause,
or the next thing you know, he's back in business.
It very much reminds me, as a New Yorker of
when the Giants played the Buffalo Bills in the Super
Bowl and the Bills had that k gun offense with
Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas, and the Giants just wanted
(06:28):
to keep them off the field, run as much clock
as humanly possible, and hopefully get to a position where
Scott Norwood would be attempting a game winning field goal
with no time left on the clock, and as you know,
it would miss by quite a great deal, which was
a big deal for me because I grew up in
a gambling house. So a lot of you watched football
and cheered for a win or a loss. I watched
(06:49):
football and cheered for homelessness or non homelessness, depending on
who covered the spread. But those are the big three,
and if you have a take on any of them,
get on that. iHeart app leave us a tall back app.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The other thing I would add as a guy making
his debut on the station this week, it is Friday.
You're doing all right. You live in America. It's not
a bad place to be. Is if you have a
take on New York that you can share with me.
The thing you need to know for the amount of
time they're nice enough to keep me around here at
WOR is as a former New York City cab driver,
(07:21):
most of my experience in life is as an affordable therapist.
And what I mean by that is people get into
a taxi. They know they're never going to see you again,
so they give you all kinds of pork chop recipes,
conspiracy theories, everything they ever wanted to dump on another
human being. And I'm really used to giving pretty decent feedback.
But what's weird about it is nobody ever asked me
for fashion feedback, because if you watch me on TV,
(07:44):
I do dress like a figure skater who let himself go.
And that's probably the biggest challenge to being me right
now is I'm surrounded by a bunch of TV stars
down the block at Fox News, and then I look
like the guy who installed your TV. You looked up
at me, Natalie. I got really concerned. I never know,
I never know with you. Are we still on good terms?
We are. I just wasn't sure if you were going
(08:06):
to fact check me about my claim that Larry was
at the Furry Convention, because we can't confirm that that's true.
You might know more than you know these morning people. Well,
I will tell you this when it comes to story
number three, the Trump thing that's going to go back
and forth, But there's a piece of sound I wanted
to play about it because a lot of people you know,
are out there. It's Father's Day weekend if you're out
(08:27):
in California. Newsom's pull numbers are actually going up as
this back and forth over the National Guard ensues, and
I have a theory. The reason Newsom's pull numbers are
going up is everybody's saving money on Father's Day's gifts
because they can just loot the Apple store. You know,
time was you had to spend money, you had to
get your dad's shoe size and go down to Nike.
But nobody pays retail in California because you can get
(08:50):
it on riots. And I think that's what's actually happening.
And a little bit later in the hour, we're going
to play you a clip from a very prominent actor,
a man who was, of course Corse, the star of
my favorite movie of my youth. You don't know this,
tell me, well, my favorite movie of all time is
Midnight Cowboy. And I just might be dressed like Joe
Buck right now.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
You might be.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Do I not look like I'm heading out to turn
tricks in Times Square? After this and the way this
opening's going, I might have to, Let's be honest, But.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know what you look like.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
You look like somebody who hasn't slept last night.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Is that true? Well, you know you're not in mourning attire.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Usually people come here in hoodies, yea yea yeah, you look,
you know, like you went out somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, this is the problem. I always dress loud at
Fox because I'm trying to distract from a glaring lack
of intellect. So I'm grazzled, dazzled, Ryan Stones, whatever you got, Okay,
But the important thing to remember is the show rolls
on is We're going to give you a phenomenal a
phenomenal clip from one of my favorite actors of all time.
Go to the iHeart app in the meantime, leave us
a talk back and understand that when we come back.
(09:52):
A New Jersey high school was forced to cancel a
full day of classes after an over the top senior
prank went too we're reading this headline like the kids
are upset about it. Kids are thrilled. They're like, this
is the best bride ever? What are we talking about.
Plus you're gonna get tickets to see James Taylor at
eight twenty five. Don't go anywhere, because that's hot stuff.
(10:14):
I'd go see James Taylor. You know, the last time
I saw James Taylor was he was singing a concert
on the White House lawn really after they passed the
Inflation Reduction Act, and then they got up to the
microphone and said, congratulations, this is the biggest climate bill ever.
And I was like, wait a minute. I was promised inflation.
I was ripped off. We're going to break on Menti
in the morning with Jimmy Faylo. We are back after
