4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: The Democrats in New York City are trying to steal

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: a congressional seat from the Republicans through forced redistricting, and

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: they got a judge to agree with them. We'll talk

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: to the city's only Republican congress member, Nicole Maliutakis, about

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: the fight to keep her seat. Zorin Mamdani has been

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: talks about the oscars and what's worth watching this weekend.

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: But let's begin with New York City Congresswoman Nicole Meleotakis. Nicole,

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: did you see this coming? Did you did you believe

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: that this was the way the early ruling was going

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: to go?

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Well, look, I mean, look, this is a completely meritless lawsuit.

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: Let's start with that.

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: They sued under a.

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: Law that doesn't even apply to congressional districts or legislative districts.

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: And the fact that they're trying to claim somehow this

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: district disenfranchises minorities when I'm the first minority to actually

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: represent the district is super ludicrous. However, you know, when

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: it wasn't tossed out as we really thought it should

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: have been, we were obviously concerned.

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: But if you look at the.

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: Judge, the judge was the former council in Chief of

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: staff to Governor Casey Hulkel. So it makes sense that

31
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: this round would be tough for us in court. I

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 3: do believe at the end of the day, we will

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: prevail and protect the voices of the people of Staten

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Island in Brooklyn, because remember, this district was represented by

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: a Democrat, and it was the people who voted to

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: fire that Democrat in twenty twenty. And so here we

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: have this Washington law firm trying to come in here

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: and say, we don't care what the people of Staten

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Island and Brooklyn said. We're going to make it so

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: you can never elect another Republican again, and you'll be

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: stuck with a Democrat forever. We'll never have bipartisan representation

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: in our city. But the bottom line here is this

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: is meritless. It should have been thrown out. We're not

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: surprised to judge listen to the case and how we

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: ruled yesterday, but we do believe at the end of

46
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: the day we will prevail. We may have to take

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: this all the way to the US Supreme Court, but

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: there's no way that this can stand and that the

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: people of this district can just have this seat taken

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: from them and their voices eliminated.

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I started off by asking you if

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: you saw this coming, because obviously in the lower courts

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: here that are all run by Democrats and far left

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: wing Democrats, they're going to rule against you. But I

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: do believe you're absolutely it is meritless, and as it

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: goes up into more sane courts, you're going to end

57
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: up winning in this. So let's put that aside for

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: a second, because I do think it's meritless and it's

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: not worth talking about, and I think that you're going

60
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: to be just fine as it goes along. Let's instead

61
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: talk about ice because I'm really concerned as we watch

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: what's going on in Congress and we watch what's going

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: on in the Senate and across the country. Actually not

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: just across the country in Minneapolis. It seems like it's

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: across the country, but because all the attention and media

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: is in Minneapolis, it seems like it's nationwide. This attack

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: on ICE on the streets, this attack on ICE in Congress,

68
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: this push to defund ICE. Where is this going?

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: Well?

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, look the perception, the images, they're

71
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: not great. But what I'm going to say, and what

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: i want people to understand, is the reason why ICE

73
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: needs to go in to these communities and conduct raids

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: is because these local municipalities are not turning over criminals.

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: And I'll give you perfect example this weekend in Minneapolis.

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: What happened.

77
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: Who were they in there to get? They actually ended

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: up getting two murderers. One of them had a final

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: order for removal going back to twenty thirteen, the other

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: one to twenty fifteen. These were convicted murderers. They also

81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: got a guy who's convicted of sodomizing a twelve year

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: old girl. And they had another guy who was who

83
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: was convicted.

84
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: Of twenty four crimes.

85
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: And these were among many other criminals. Okay, and you

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: can go to their website and they lay it out

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: for you exactly who they go in there and they

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: get The issue is that when you don't have these

89
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: local municipalities just simply turning these people over when they're

90
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: released from jail, it creates this scenario where this law

91
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: federal law enforcement agency needs to go into the community

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: and find them and they may much more dangerous for

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: the law enforcement officer, makes them much more dangerous for

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: the public. And it's unnecessary quite frankly, if they cooperate

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: now with this funding, that's gonna happen. And by the way,

96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 3: the same thing happened here in New York. They turned

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: seven thousand criminals back onto the streets instead of turning

98
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: them over to ICE. And these are these are horrible

99
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: people like these are real hardened criminals that commmitted all

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: sorts of horrific crimes. And for some reason, the Democrats

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: that run these cities want to just put them back

102
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: on the streets instead of seeing them remove from our country.

103
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: And I can't understand why with this funding issue, ICE

104
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: has the funding that they need because in the Reconciliation Bill,

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: we gave them the funding that was necessary. What would

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: happen with.

107
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: The Department of Homeland Security. Should the Democrats choose not.

108
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: To help us fund the Department of Homeland Security PSA agents,

109
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: the people that go and screen you and make sure

110
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: there's no terrorists going on your airplane, they're going to

111
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: get the hit. The Coast Guard that protects our shorelines,

112
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: that make sure you know that the contraband and human trafficking,

113
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: all this stuff coming in through our waters, that's going

114
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: to get the hit. You're gonna have other agencies that

115
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: deal with you know, drugs and law enforcement, cybersecurity, counter terrorism.

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: That's where you're going to see the impact. And so

117
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: it's really nonsensical. It's just it's just a political rhetoric

118
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: that the Democrats are playing here. We're going to define

119
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: I I'm not going to fund the Homeland security, but

120
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: these are the other parts of homeland security that are

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: really truly going to be affected.

122
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: I agree with you, it's all political, but it's evil.

123
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a line to be drawn, isn't there

124
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: There should be a line in politics that you don't cross.

125
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: And when you are supporting criminals and going up against

126
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: law enforcement and people who are trying to make the

127
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: country a little bit safer. That's when you cross that line,

128
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: when you make yourself more important than the public.

129
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 3: But I think they actually believe this. It's political to

130
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: a degree, but I think they actually do believe in

131
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: their anti law enforcement, their pro criminal this is their policy.

132
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: These are the same people that ran the protests in

133
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: the streets to defund the NYPD in twenty twenty. These

134
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: are the same people who are constantly supporting laws that

135
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: make it harder to put criminals behind bars. Look what

136
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: Virginia Democrats did the very first thing they did when

137
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: they took power the other day was to eliminate minimum

138
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: sentencing for like murderers and rapists. It's crazy. So I mean,

139
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: this is what they do. These are the policies they support,

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: and people need to recognize that because we could very

141
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: well end up back we were two years ago, where

142
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: we had terrorists coming into our bordermember hundreds of terrorists

143
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: caught at our southern border, millions of gadaways. We don't

144
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: know who they are, where they are, what their intentions are.

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: You know, this administration is doing their best effort to

146
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: try to find those individuals. You have criminal gangs that

147
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: were wreaking havoc on our streets, drug traffickers, poisoning Americans.

148
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: You know, we can easily go back to that. This

149
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 3: past year, by the way, crime has dipped significantly double

150
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: digits across most and.

151
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: It's because of ice. It's because of ice. And you're right,

152
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Republicans have to win these mid terms. The countries at

153
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: stake here. Thanks so much, Nicole maliatakas US representative for

154
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: New York's eleventh congressional district. Thanks a lot, Nicole, good

155
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: luck in court.

156
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: Thank you.

157
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: Now do you take Lyft or Uber? There's a big

158
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: difference in pricing depending on where you are and where

159
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: you're traveling. Rich de Muro from rich on Tech explains Next.

160
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Now more of the wo R Saturday Morning Show and Larry.

161
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: Minty welcome back. If you have an Android device, get

162
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: ready for a voice activated keyboard that is getting rave reviews.

163
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: Here's Rich DeMuro from rich on Tech to tell us

164
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: about it. This is a great topic, Rich, this is

165
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: something everybody's talking about. So what are the AI resistant careers?

166
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a big one. So this is a

167
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 5: website called resume. Now they looked at some of the

168
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: you know, the qualities that make a human a human stress, judgment,

169
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 5: human interaction, anything where decisions matter and the pressure is high.

170
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 5: And so three key traits here adaptability, stress, tolerance, and

171
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 5: self control things I hope my kids have, right. So

172
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 5: at the top of the list. Interesting, Okay, let me

173
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: get this list up here. Top of the list, number

174
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: one nurse anesthetists, that's number one, er physicians, judges, general surgeons,

175
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 5: commercial pilots. So you can see it's all these kind

176
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 5: of industries where that those split second decisions are really important.

177
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: Then you have things like veterinarians, CEOs obviously, pharmacists, attorneys, dentists,

178
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 5: construction managers, and cybersecurity analysts. So those are the AI

179
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 5: resistant jobs at the top level. They also looked at

180
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 5: some of the entry level jobs, and the top entry

181
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: level job is a dental hygienis, which I thought was

182
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 5: pretty interesting.

183
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: So let's get back to AI for a second and

184
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: talk about chat GPT. They're going to advertise on their site.

185
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: Now that's what made them so great. There wasn't advertising.

186
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 5: Oh I know, and as I talk about in my

187
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 5: radio show, the free ride is over with all of

188
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 5: these services. They come out and you know, either the

189
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: prices are low, at the beginning, then they go up,

190
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: or they start out free and then you have to pay,

191
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 5: or they start out with no ads, and now they've

192
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 5: had so yes, chat gbt is getting ads for the

193
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 5: first time. Ads are going to start appearing as a

194
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: test in the next couple of weeks, so you might

195
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 5: be part of that test. Don't be surprised. You're going

196
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: to see them at the bottom of your answers and

197
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: they will be clearly labeled and they will be separate

198
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: from the actual response. So it's not going to be

199
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 5: like Google style, we're at the top of your results,

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: you're going to see ads. No, this is sort of

201
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 5: a at the bottom of where you're chatting with chat cybt.

202
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: They say that the ads will not influence the answers ever,

203
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 5: and they're supposed to be based on what's helpful, not

204
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: who pays more. If you're paying twenty dollars a month

205
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 5: for chatgebt, it doesn't look like you're gonna see them.

206
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: But they did just launch a cheaper version of chat

207
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 5: Gibt called chatchybt Go. That's eight dollars a month. But

208
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 5: keep in mind, even if you pay for that, you

209
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 5: still might be subject to ads.

210
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you use AI Rich, what's your go to?

211
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 5: Mike actually too now, so I use chatchbt. I would

212
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: say chattybt is sort of the jack of all trades.

213
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: It does everything pretty well. Gemini is when I want

214
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 5: personalized results or anything that is more current. So I

215
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: think Google does a really good job with personalization and

216
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: also current topics because they are searching the web in

217
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 5: such a big way every day. But I will tell

218
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 5: you the sleeper is Grock. Grock actually is really well designed.

219
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: I know it's had its issues, but it actually returned

220
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 5: some pretty good results for things.

221
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: Should you be using more than one AI.

222
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 5: App, I think it depends. I mean, if you work

223
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: somewhere where they're using Microsoft, they're probably pushing you towards

224
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 5: you know, Copilot. I think chatchbt's obviously the proprietary eponym here.

225
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 5: Everyone knows that one. I think Gemini is really good

226
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 5: for coding, Claude is really good for writing. So there's

227
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: a lot of different aspects to these AI They all

228
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 5: do things a little bit better than the other in

229
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 5: different aspects.

230
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's great advice, you know. I think there are

231
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: two types of people that ride share. There's lift people

232
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: and Uber people. But because they are being loyal to

233
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: their brand, you say they're making a mistake.

234
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: Yes, this is wild. The National Bureau of Economic Research

235
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: looked at trips on Uber and Lyft and they found

236
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 5: there are big price differences for the exact same ride.

237
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 5: Now the gap is about three dollars and fifty cents

238
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 5: per trip. Okay, doesn't sound like a lot, but that's

239
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 5: fourteen percent of the fare. Sometimes Uber is cheaper, sometimes

240
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: Lift is cheaper. And here's the thing. Even though people

241
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: kind of understand this and know that the prices vary,

242
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 5: not a lot of people open both apps before booking.

243
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 5: So in New York City alone last year, this study

244
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 5: said people left more than three hundred million dollars on

245
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 5: the table because they didn't check the other app. I

246
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 5: will tell you in my experience, and I'm bad at

247
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 5: this too, I mostly use Uber. Sometimes I will check

248
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: Lift and I will be like, wait a second, for

249
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 5: the same exact ride, it's half the price. So the

250
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 5: lesson learned here is download both apps, have them both

251
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: signed up. When you need a ride, check both and

252
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 5: you can decide which one's cheaper and go with it.

253
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: Real quick. Let's talk about this AI voice keyboard. It

254
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: sounds great.

255
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. If you have an Android phone, check

256
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 5: out something called typeless AI Voice keyboard. It's called typeless

257
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 5: Ai Voice Keyboard. I've been using a similar keyboard on

258
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 5: the iPhone for months now. This is the first one

259
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 5: to come to Android. It's very different than voice dictation

260
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 5: because the keyboard actually understands what you're trying to say.

261
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 5: It can correct things, and it puts in the proper

262
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 5: punctuation and capitalization. It is a huge shift in the

263
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 5: way that we use our phones. I cannot say this enough.

264
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 5: It is change the way I've used my phone. And

265
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 5: it's available for Android now. Check it out. It's called Typelists.

266
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Rich Demiro rich on Tech has heard

267
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: Sunday nights from eight to eleven pm on wr Riches

270
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: to sign up for his newsletter at Richontech dot Tv.

271
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Rich, Thanks Larry. So, how does zorin

272
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: mom Donnie constantly get away with evading questions? We'll talk

273
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: about that with political analyst JC Polonko. Well you going

274
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: to the movies? This weekend woor movie Minted host Joe

275
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: Neumeyer likes two movies the theaters. Joe's coming up.

276
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Here's Larry Mente with more of the w R Saturday

277
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Morning Show Welcome Back.

278
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: A major snowstorm is expected, and political analyst J. C.

279
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: Polanco says it's going to be a major first test

280
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: for the new mayor zorin Mam Donnie. Jace. Normally I

281
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: asked you a pretty appointed direct question. I want to

282
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: open this up for you for a second, just to

283
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: talk about in general or maybe specific. It's up to you.

284
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: What have you thought of the first two weeks of

285
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: zorin Mam Donnie. Has anything surprised you yet?

286
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 5: You?

287
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 6: No?

288
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: Good morning body way, thanks for having me laricture. You know,

289
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: the big surprises shouldn't be surprises. He you know, he

290
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: campaigned as someone that was radical and campaigned on on

291
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: a message that was clearly socialist, and he said that

292
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: he would rule as such and govern as such. It

293
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: was very interesting to see some of these appointments be

294
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: so controversial, says if was anyone doing any background checks

295
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: on social media posts, on prior statements, on things that

296
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: they have said on video, but it was shocking to

297
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: see some of the positions on, for example, property ownership

298
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: being a symbol of white supremacy. It was tough to

299
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: see that. It was tough to see folks that have

300
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: such horrible positions with Israel and Jews get appointments. It

301
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: was very difficult to see the kind of racism that

302
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: we've seen behind some of these appointments. But it shouldn't

303
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 4: be surprising. This is someone who had a record of

304
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: wanting to seize the means of production and decommodify housing,

305
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: and has taken positions on white supremacy being all around us,

306
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: and has taken some real extreme positions in his role

307
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: as an Assembly member. So the fact that I haven't

308
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: seen someone appointed now that wants to be in charge

309
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: of the Department of Health by decriminalizing and legalizing prostitution,

310
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: that's was shocking. I mean I thought that was coming

311
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: sooner rather than later, or hasn't happened yet. So I

312
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: think that's a positive. Yeah, But his first big test

313
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: is going to be the snowstorm. That's what we're waiting on.

314
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: I mean, it does the city go through this with

315
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: the streets plowed? Are we going to say, are there

316
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: are going to be backups. How he handles this logistically

317
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: with his team is what a lot of New Yorkers

318
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: are going to watch the Stean ISLDN get plowed? Right,

319
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 4: that's the question. Our neighborhoods that didn't support him going

320
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: to get plowed, because if you remember with the Blasio,

321
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: there were places that didn't support him that all of

322
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 4: a sudden didn't he shovels for days after snowstorms. So

323
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 4: I hope that that's not the case with this mayor.

324
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's going to be. I think

325
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: actually he's going to do a nice job because he's

326
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: going to get out of the way. I think he's

327
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: going to let the people that have been there and

328
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: handle this for a long long time handle it. I'm

329
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: not even sure he wants to be involved in these

330
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: kinds of things. Have you noticed that here's a guy

331
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: that loves the media. It just loves the media. He's

332
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: on TV all the time. He's on some national or

333
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: local TV show constantly. He's going to be on this

334
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: week with a I just found out a moment ago

335
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: from Rick Kline he's going to be on with them.

336
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: He loves the media, he loves doing videos. He loves

337
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: holding news conferences. That seems to be all he's done

338
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: since he's been in office. He does it constantly because

339
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: he's good at it.

340
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: He's very good at it. And one of the things

341
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 4: that's interesting is that we're now going to see what

342
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: used to be boring policy discussions about regulations and taxes

343
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 4: and zoning. Things that happen in committees are going to

344
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 4: find themselves a TikTok video style debates with the mayor

345
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: making this interesting and he looks like flow from progressive

346
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: For those of you that watch commercials, you know, everything

347
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: is a very funny, cute you know, let's do TikTok videos.

348
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 4: But you know, although it annoys me because I think

349
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 4: these issues are important, you know, it does resonate with

350
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: a group of people out there that find it cute

351
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: and find it interesting until they don't and I think

352
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 4: it's all fun and dandee now because it's still early,

353
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 4: so he still has that honeymoon period, but there's going

354
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: to come a time when bills have to be paid.

355
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: They will be budget shortfalls. He can't blame atoms anymore.

356
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 4: There's going to be a time that's going to come

357
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: in where crime is going to go up in the summertime,

358
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: during during the heat of June and July. There's going

359
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: to be encampments of homeless people in our communities. There's

360
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 4: going to be housing being created in communities where there

361
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: are single family homes like the ones where my kids

362
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: are raised in the Bronx that right behind Jacobe Hospital,

363
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 4: where you have single family homes in Indian Village and

364
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 4: Morris Park are now going to have to deal with

365
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: ex cons coming in people with mental health issues. Not

366
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 4: to mention, but just two blocks away there's a mental

367
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: hospital for the state. If you were to take a

368
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: look at some of these places he's putting these houses

369
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 4: in for people that are getting out of prison. You

370
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 4: already have an incredible amount of sex offenders that are registered.

371
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: So these are some of the things that people are

372
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: going to be noticing when they start looking that their

373
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 4: neighborhoods are changing, the fabric of the communities are changing

374
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: because of some of these radical positions that he's taken.

375
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: And I believe that although the city council voted for

376
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: some of these things, you know, Mayor Adams, to his credit,

377
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: stopped it from happening. We just saw it happen in

378
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 4: the Bronx. These are some of the things that we're

379
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: going to be annoyed about it. No amount of cute

380
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: videos is going to change our perspective, especially those of

381
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 4: us in the Bronx who are tired of seeing these

382
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 4: types of housing be built in our communities.

383
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's real. That's really was said, and thanks for

384
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: focusing our attention on that. I will tell you this,

385
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: that's only going to happen, and I hope you're correct.

386
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: That's only going to happen if the media does a

387
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: better job in this town. I'm so disappointed with them.

388
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: They are so enamored by this guy. They don't ask

389
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: any follow ups. Don't you think that yesterday with this mayor,

390
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: they should have brought up in the news conference that

391
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: he's available all the time. The fact that there was

392
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: a playground in Brooklyn that had forty eight swastikas on it.

393
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: Don't you think somebody should have brought that up. Nobody

394
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: asked them about it. That would have been one of

395
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: my first questions.

396
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, a lot of the media is enamored.

397
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: The questions are softballs. He gets out of these things

398
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 4: like he just wiggles out of them. I never before

399
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 4: has the media allowed for someone to get out of it.

400
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: You know, whether it's the issue with the playground should

401
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 4: have been mentioned, for sure. But he will say something

402
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 4: along the lines it is my job to keep every

403
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: New York who close this city home safe, including our

404
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: Jewish Americans. Will he will say something along those lines,

405
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 4: very poetic, and people just, I guess, get mesmerized and

406
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: brainwashed and hypnotized to the fact that it's now a

407
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: month into his administration almost and he still hasn't condemned

408
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 4: globalizing Theian Tofada, I mean, I mean, this is where

409
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 4: we are. So he's gotten away with a lot, and

410
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: I think he's gotten away with things that other candidates

411
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: were not. I think the New York City media is changing.

412
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 4: More and more of the media is depending on donations,

413
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: more and more of the media is depending on likes

414
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: and retweets. And I don't think that if you're a

415
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 4: journalist and you're depending on a specific base of people

416
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 4: to read your articles and to follow your media, that

417
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: you're going to offend your readers by pushing back on

418
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 4: this mayor who they adore.

419
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: That's your job, that's the job. That's exactly what they

420
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: should be doing and I agree with you. There's no

421
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: follow ups. That's what I'm screaming for a follow up

422
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: to his answers. Hey, let's talk again real soon, Jc.

423
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: I always like talking to you.

424
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 6: J C.

425
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: Plonko can't wait. Thank Adaleston University of Mount Saint Vincent

426
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: Assistant professor and attorney. Movie Minute host Joe Newmeyer is

427
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 2: up next. He talks about the Oscar nominations and if

428
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: the most nominated movie, Sinners, is really that good.

429
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: Back now to the WOOR Saturday Morning Show with Larry MINTI,

430
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: welcome back.

431
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: Well, Sinners is now the most nominated movie in Oscar history?

432
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: Is it really that good? Here's film journalist and Movie

433
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: Minute host Joe Neumeyer. Joe, it's a great time to

434
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: talk to you, not only because it's right after the Oscars,

435
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 2: but the way things are now with all of the

436
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: streaming options and less and less people going actually to

437
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: the theaters. I don't think most people have seen these movies.

438
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you, Larry, And the thing is,

439
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 6: you know, at twenty twenty five was not a great

440
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 6: year anyway, it had some high points, but I agree

441
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 6: most people are not going to theaters, or if they

442
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: do go to theaters. It's to see you know, the

443
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 6: big event stuff, whether Avatar or a Marvel thing, or

444
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 6: even even something like f One which didn't make that

445
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 6: much money but got a surprise Best Picture nomination. We

446
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 6: can talk about that in a moment. But I think

447
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 6: that people are kind of going for the event. I mean,

448
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 6: I wish that people would just stop bringing the food

449
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 6: to to your seat in the movie theaters. Some of

450
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: the movie theaters do that. I don't need, you know,

451
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 6: a chicken sandwhich I need better films. So if Hollywood

452
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: try to better films are on, maybe people would go

453
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 6: to the theaters more. But it's an interesting thing. And

454
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 6: now with the Oscars, you know, kind of putting out

455
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 6: some stuff that people are like, what is that? And

456
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 6: why is that nominated? Sinner's got sixteen nominations, Right, let's

457
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 6: talk about that. That's crazy.

458
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: Is crazy because I get wait, wait, hold on, is

459
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: it crazy because they don't deserve it?

460
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: I mean, look, it's a good movie. It's ultimately a

461
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 6: vampire movie. It's got a lot to say. But I

462
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 6: don't know about sixteen nominations. I mean I think that

463
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 6: you know, when you look at like the record setting

464
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 6: films of history, all about Eve Titanic and La La Land,

465
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 6: which I don't know if that deserve fourteen nominations either,

466
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 6: but those films got fourteen nominations. I mean, I like Sinners,

467
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 6: and I like a lot of the things about it,

468
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 6: and I like a lot of the nominations that it got.

469
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 6: But I think that there's there's a when a movie

470
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 6: likes there, which is a very popular film, gets sixteen nominations,

471
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 6: you sort of think, well, you know, why did Apollo,

472
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 6: you know, thirteen get nine nominations. I just think that

473
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 6: there's a there's an aspect to it that it becomes

474
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 6: a very popular thing and it becomes a you know,

475
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 6: as opposed to something like that that's going to stand

476
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 6: the test of time. It's a tricky kind of a thing.

477
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 6: And it also was not a very good year, So

478
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if I would have given any film

479
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 6: fourteen or thirteen nominations. I mean, I just think it's

480
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 6: funny that Sinners is going to be up in the

481
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 6: Best Picture and it's got vampires in it. Meanwhile, you've

482
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 6: got Frankenstein also up for Best Pictures, so you're gonna

483
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 6: have vampires versus versus Rank where's the wolf Man? How

484
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 6: come the Wolfman?

485
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: She always gets left out?

486
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 5: So you're saying, like, my grandchildren will not be sitting

487
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: watching sinners like I watch Cosa.

488
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 6: Blanco exact perfect example, not exactly right, cast off like

489
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 6: I got Best Picture of nineteen forty two. They're not

490
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 6: gonna be like, oh, this is We've got to show

491
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 6: this recon It's a it's a very good movie, and

492
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 6: Michael B. Jordan terrific in it. I like Ryan Coogler

493
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 6: as a as a director. It's got a lot of

494
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 6: great stuff in it. The music is great. I just

495
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 6: don't think it's gonna It's one of those movies that,

496
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 6: over the test of time, people are gonna look at

497
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 6: exactly And by the way, speaking of things getting left

498
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 6: out or monsters that could have gotten nominated, the Witches

499
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: of Wicked totally left out right. I kind of was

500
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 6: fine with. But last year the first one got ten nominations,

501
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: including some of the actresses and Best Picture, and this

502
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 6: year Wicked for Good got zippo. You know, it's sort

503
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: of a funny kind of a thing. It's yeah, the

504
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 6: first version, the first part was better. But it's an

505
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 6: interesting sort of thing that when the nominations go in

506
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 6: crazy directions like that, right.

507
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you saying you should have been dominated?

508
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: That wasn't I.

509
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 6: Really think that Jay Kelly should have been nominated. It

510
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 6: got completely shut out. It was my favorite film of

511
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 6: the year, and most importantly, Adam Sandler, Poor Adam Sandler,

512
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 6: Brooklyn's own Adam Sandler. They're probably worried that he was

513
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: going to go up there and do a happy Gilmore

514
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 6: a bit or something. I think he's great in the film.

515
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 6: I think he's This is at least like his third

516
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 6: nomination that he should have gotten, you know, after like

517
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 6: Uncut Gems was terrific and funny people. He really should

518
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 6: have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and I think

519
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 6: the film should be in there for Best Original Screenplay

520
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 6: and even Best Picture. I will say I was happy

521
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 6: that Kate Hudson got nominated for Best Actress for Songs

522
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 6: Sung Blue. Good for her. It's a great little movie

523
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 6: and she got nominated. I was happy about that Delroy

524
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 6: Lindo got nominated for Sinners. He's been doing great work

525
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 6: for thirty years and great movies from the nineties like

526
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 6: Clockers or Cide Your House Rules.

527
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: Is that his first Oscar nomination.

528
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 6: That's his first Oscar nominae Wow, And you know people

529
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 6: made him from TV. He was on TV in The

530
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 6: Good Fight. I also would have liked to have seen

531
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 6: Kirsten dunk get nominated for Roofman, the Channel Tatum movie

532
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 6: that you did. And uh, but I really think that

533
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 6: that j Kelly got got you know, kind of zipped

534
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 6: out unfortunately. And especially Sandler, he really he really gives

535
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 6: a terrific performance. And there sold is George Cluton.

536
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: Is anything worth watching? Is there any future Oscar nominees

537
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: in the theaters this weekend?

538
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 6: You know what? Yes? And this is gonna sound crazy,

539
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 6: but we talked about it last week. But the Bone Temple,

540
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 6: the horror thriller that just came out last week with

541
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 6: Ray Fines, Watch for Ray Fines get to get nominated,

542
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 6: I don't know for what, probably Best Actor at next

543
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 6: year's Oscars. It's sort of like Mad Max Fury Road.

544
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 6: It's a big event thing, but it's scary, it's disturbing,

545
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 6: but it's a really great thriller. So watch for The

546
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 6: Bone Temple next year for Ray Fines and if they

547
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 6: re release it. I don't know if Warner Brothers as

548
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 6: this has been Warner Brothers big year, between one battle

549
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: after another in Centers, they're they're leading the studios in

550
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 6: terms of nominations. So if they do next year right,

551
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 6: they do Ray Fines right, push him for Best Actor nomination.

552
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 6: He kind of deserves it. He's great in the movie.

553
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: It's scary.

554
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 2: It's tough, though, isn't it. Are there any movies that

555
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: are released in January that that last the test, that

556
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: lasts the test of time and actually are nominated by

557
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: the end of the year.

558
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 6: No, very rarely. That's a good point. January has traditionally

559
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 6: has always been just this dead zone for films. This

560
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 6: week we got this one out called Mercy, which is

561
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 6: actually okay, I'm giving it three stars. It's a it's

562
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 6: an interesting kind of computers or bad movie. Chris Pratt

563
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 6: plays a cop who's accused of murdering his wife and

564
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 6: he wakes up after a night of drinking and he's

565
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 6: strived to an electric chair, and there's an AI judge

566
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 6: that he's in front of who gives him ninety minutes

567
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 6: essentially to prove his innocence, and he has to use

568
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 6: like all this is set in the near future, has

569
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 6: to use all this cell phone footage and all the

570
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 6: footage that's on the web to prove that he didn't

571
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 6: do it. And it's a pretty interesting little thriller. It's

572
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 6: not going to get nominated for Best Picture, but it's

573
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 6: it's a little like Minority Report, the Spielberg film from

574
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago. It's got that sort of

575
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 6: aspect to it, but it's it's not going to be

576
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 6: a Best Picture nominee. That's that's for sure. It's in

577
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 6: the January the January dead Zone.

578
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: Am I wrong about this or another? Was there another

579
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: Mercy movie?

580
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 6: There's like a Mercy movie every two years, and then

581
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 6: there's like a Mercy TV show. None of them are

582
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 6: related the people if there's either Mercy or Nope. There's

583
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 6: a Ken Baserer movie in the nineties called No Mercy. Yeah,

584
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: there's a I feel like it's one of those things

585
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 6: where Hollywood sort of looks at and they say, oh, sure,

586
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 6: it's another mercy movie, just throw it out there. I

587
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 6: don't know why that is. I don't know why like

588
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 6: people sort of say, yeah, give it. It's like if

589
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: you had like a you know, a movie called you know.

590
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean nat just mentioned Casablanca. There's

591
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 6: a great joke that you know in the in the

592
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 6: forties when the Marx Brothers wanted to do a movie

593
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 6: called A Knight in Casablanca and Warner Brothers got mad

594
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 6: at them and they said, you know, you can't Casablanca.

595
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 6: And Graucho said, we've been brothers before the Warner Brothers,

596
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 6: so you can't call yourself brothers ever again. So I

597
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 6: don't know why every every two years is a movie

598
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 6: called Mercy. But this one's okay. It's got a big

599
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 6: visual you know thing that lots of screens kind of

600
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 6: going on. It's interesting. You think it would be boring,

601
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 6: but it's not, and it's kind of exciting. So it's

602
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 6: a three star actioner. But no, unlike movies like Minority

603
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 6: Reporter AI or something, or two thousand and one A

604
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 6: Space Odyssey, it's not gonna be one of those movies

605
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 6: that you look back on and say, that was a

606
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 6: really interesting take on where we're going with technology.

607
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: But you won't feel like you wasted your money if

608
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: you go to the movie theater and watch Mercy. That's no.

609
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 2: Is that the best way to put it.

610
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 6: That's the best way to put it exactly right, and

611
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 6: when it comes on streaming in a couple of weeks,

612
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 6: it will also play well on streaming. It'll be on

613
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 6: Apple because it's an Apple movie. No, it's not Apple,

614
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 6: it's an Amazon movie. But it's not gonna lose anything

615
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 6: on streaming. So if you wait for a couple of

616
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 6: weeks and it's there, you'll get just as much excitement

617
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:34,920
