Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trump's Commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, was a guest on the
New York Post pod Force one podcast and at one
point he talked about Jeffrey Epstein and he said they
were neighbors back in two thousand and five.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This guy's gross, right, So how come Bill Gates and
all these other people could hang around him and not
see what you saw?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Or did they see it and ignore it or no,
they participated.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
That's what his mo was, you know, get a massage,
Get a massage. And what happened in that massage room
I soon was on video. This guy was the greatest
blackmailer ever. Blackmailed people. That's how we had money.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
And then he was asked what happened to those videos?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I assume way back when they traded those videos in
exchange for him getting that eighteen months sentnce.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
So that's kind of been you know, the conspiracy theory
about Epstein all along is that he's got all these
rich people, you know, trafficking women to them and getting
them on video and blackmailing them. But then when he
was asked if Trump knows his feelings on this, he
dodged the question and basically said, oh, it's a distraction
and that he and Trump don't discuss it. He said,
(01:05):
he knows, he knows my story, but we don't discuss this.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It's a distractions.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
And I like that, you know, Bill Gates, there's people
like that. They had to have known what's going on.
Oh yeah, yeah, but then you know when.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
It comes to Trump, Yeah yeah, just a distraction right now.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Again, I don't think Trump did anything. There's no evidence
he did anything wrong or nefarious. Wh jeffy Epstein, but
he knew him really well. And if the Commerce Secretary
is saying that he believes that, you know, those tapes,
they were part of the deal and all of that,
then the question goes right back to his fellow cabinet
member body and.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, and Cash Betell too. Where are the tapes?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Where is what's on them?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And who are all these people that these women were
trafficked to that he was blackmailing exactly. The creator of
an AI generated actress is facing backlash from Hollywood because
celebrities feel threatened by her. So the AI actress's name
is Tillie Norwood. She's cute, young, dark hair, pretty eyes,
perfect smile. She's kind of like the all ameic girl
next door kind of look to her, and she's caught
(02:03):
the attention of big talent agencies who are interested in
representing her. Now, the woman who created her says, to
those who have expressed anger over my AI character, she's
not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work,
just like CGI animation, and that this is just kind
of the next step.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
And talent agencies are interested in her.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So the Screen Actors Guild union issued a statement saying
that they believe creativity is and should remain human centered.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
And then a.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Bunch of actors and actresses who are like they have
small nobody that I know, they were kind of outraged
by this and feel like it's a big threat to them.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, I don't know how this would work because if
you're using an AI actress, I'm assuming like the whole
production would.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Have to be AI, right, And so then she also
put out kind of a trailer for that was all
AI generated, that showed all of these different people kind
of describing how they're going to make a new streaming
series based on your history, so you could take everything
that you've watched, and it also is based on your
delivery orders, so like what you get from uber eats
(03:10):
and then they're gonna put together like a series customized
for you.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
There's no doubt this is where Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Really interesting, like I've never thought about it that way,
but that they could take everything you like watching and
then custom make a streaming show just for you that
goes by what you like.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I think if you're a big Hollywood actor actress who're not,
you know, super threatened by this.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
But I think if you're up.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
And coming people, yeah, it's a problem future.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
She looks super realistic. How how old is she? Did
they say she's.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
A little too young for well, I have legal aids.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I know a lot of people probably think of that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And honestly, if it was a show and it was
really good and it was all I don't think I
would care that real actress and actresses or ai.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Time magazine's list of the world's most influential rising stars
features several conservative leaders, including Turning Point USA's new CEO
Erica Kirk and White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. So
Time praised Erica Kirk for her message of forgiveness after
her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated a couple of weeks ago.
(04:13):
They said few would have faulted her if she had
stood before tens of thousands of people at the memorial
and demanded retribution, but instead she offered something rare in
today's politics, forgiveness. They also mentioned she's now raising two
children alone and said she models the strength of resilience
and grace to America's political leadership. And they also named
(04:35):
Caroline Levitt, the Press Secretary, one of their rising stars,
saying that she fields tough questions from the press and
also poses important questions back. They said she's one of
the administration's most prominent voices charged with defending the Trump
agenda to the world. I just think it's interesting that
Time magazine is actually like honoring people who are conservative,
(04:57):
because typically they seem to lean very least.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, two good picks.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They also they also named Byron Donalds, congressman here in
Florida running for governor quite possibly our next governor, which
I thought was a really good pick. And they had
some Democrats in their Brandon Scott, the mayor of Baltimore.
They cited progress in reducing crime and stuff like that
throughout the city. And then Ruben Diego, Senator from out
(05:21):
West and he's an up and coming, you know, figure
in the Democratic Party. We were not named on the list,
although I'm gonna be honest, based on some of the
feedback that we've gotten this morning, I think if they
had done a Falling Stars list, some of our listeners
might have put on that one.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
But jeez, what did people say? You share those comments?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, no, not those comments. We only share the good ones.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But Erica Kirk, Caroline Levitt, Byron Donald's on the conservative side,
Ruben Diego, I thought those were all really good picks.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Amazon delivery drones are coming to Tampa Bay by the
end of the year. Amazon Prime Air drones allow for
even faster delivery, and soon customers will be able to
select the drone delivery option and when ordering and they
could get their order in as little as an hour.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I wanted to wear when I check out my stuff,
like the next second, it's at the door, right, And
I think Amazon can pull.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
That off eventually, eventually.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, So the drones are gonna start operating from Amazon's
fulfillment center in Ruskin, within an eight mile radius, so
anybody in that area will be the first in Florida
to have drone delivery as an option in right now
Prime eras in full operation in Tucson, Arizona. Now, it
does cost a little bit extra. It's not included in
your Prime membership. You got to pay four ninety nine
(06:33):
for the one hour drone delivery.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You know, I will say this and I shouldn't admit this,
but Uber Eats they keep getting me on that like
first priority.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'm like, I can get even faster than everybody else, right, well,
then your.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Food's not gonna be cold or I've made a.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Mistake before of ordering ice cream from Uber Eats, which
is so stupid because it shows up melted.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
But yeah, I think the drone thing would work for
you because you have a house.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I don't know how it would work for I don't know.
They could do it.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Navigate into an apartment complex, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But I walk all the apartment overhead with the package.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, they said that they fly between one hundred and
fifty and four hundred feet so they don't interfere with
air traffic or anything.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
But you won't even notice them.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So I looked it up because I'm like, oh, I
live pretty close to Ruskin. I'm twelve miles away, so
you're gonna have to wait on a mile. Yeah, I'm
just outside the radius.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
And I wanted to just take a picture of the
delivery too, because I like that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know, when we get the verification, I'm assuming that
it does, it should be really interesting though, Like I'm
excited to see them start flying around. The battle over
who's to blame for the government shutdown is turned into
a meme war. So on Monday, President Trump shared an
AI generated video of Chuck Schumer talking about how nobody
likes Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries was standing next to him
in a sombrero. So now this is like a shutdown
(07:50):
side show. Here's some of the AI generated video.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
This guy's gross, right, so how come?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
And that was the wrong audio clips?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So anyway, it's it's Chuck Schumer talking about how nobody
likes Democrats.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You just have randomly Keem Jeffries inno sombrera. I think
he had a mustant like it. Just it was weird,
very it was a typical Trump, you know, meme trolling play.
And it became this whole thing about was it racist?
And I mean, have we not seen this for how
many years? Now? Right?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah, it was totally ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So then Hakeem Jeffries called Trump a racist, and then JD.
Vance was asked about whether or not it's appropriate or
helpful to be sharing AI generated memes like that, and
he basically said that he promises Hakeem Jeffries that if
he helps them get this bill passed and ends the
government shutdown, that the meme war will stop.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I thought that was a pretty good response.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Then you had Gavin Newsom get into it, so he
starts sharing memes. He did one of JD Vance and
I actually thought it was pretty funny. He had like
Mescara running.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Oh I saw yeah, because Jadvanci, where's the eyelighter?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It looks like he's got an eyeliner on you. So
then that happened. I mean the whole thing, Look, is
this good our politics? No, let's be honest, though, is
it entertaining?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It is hilarious?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And I was thinking about that too, Like when you
know George Bush was president or Ronald Regular start, we
didn't have these sideshows and all these memes and funny
stuff to make politics a lot more interesting and entertaining, right, And.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
We also didn't have somebody in the White house who
would probably share something like that that either.
Speaker 3 (09:21):

weekday morning on news radio. Howbout you fla

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
