Hey Curtis, you excited about 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: coming back? 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: Oh? 16 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely, w O WAR It's my favorite talk radio station. 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 4: I actually come back, believe it or not, to the 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 4: first low that I was ever interviewed on radio. I 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 4: was the newspaper Boy of the Year, had gone to 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 4: the White House to receive an award from them President 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 4: and Nixon. And upon my return I went to the 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 4: old studios of w o R at fourteen forty Broadway, 23 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: great right, and was interviewed by Arlene Francis, who was 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 4: the hostess of the midday program and she had been 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 4: on a whole series of TV programs at that time. 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 4: But once she interviewed me, once they told me speak 27 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 4: into the microphone. I haven't stopped speaking since. 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: I got a feeling you were speaking before that. But 29 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: here's yeah, you heard Natalie Vaka just a second ago. 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: She's been at WAR. I think she came with the building. 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: She's been with every show ever. Do you remember, Curtis, Well. 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 5: I don't remember Arlene Francis that, you know. I was 33 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 5: at a little bit before when I got there, but 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 5: you know I worked with John Hamburg, who had, you know, 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 5: big relationship with Arlene Francis, legendary WR figures. So yeah, 36 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 5: Curtis is you know full circle? 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I remember when the King of talk radio, 38 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 4: Bob Grant was fired by Bob Iger of Disney then 39 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: owned WABC at that time. Within weeks, he walked across 40 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 4: the streets at WR. I was at WABC at that time, 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 4: and he killed us. He killed us in drive time. 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 4: He had been there once before. I remember listening to 43 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 4: Barry Father there at woor overnights, and I mean it 44 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 4: was just a legacy radio. And of course the Gamblings, 45 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 4: all three of them didn't listen, all three of them. 46 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: But I was a colleague of John Gambling at WABC 47 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: after he left briefly and then came back to his 48 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: home of his own wr to finish out his career 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 4: in New York City on radio. 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: You know, Curtis, I have a lot of friends that 51 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: have for public office, and it hurts when you lose sometimes. 52 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: How did it affect you? 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't miss a beat, Larry. I did not 54 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: miss a beat Larry and Natalie. As soon as I 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: lost the very next day, it was out in the 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: subways and out in the streets, continuing my mission leading 57 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 4: Guardian Angel patrols because we're taking care of the many 58 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 4: homeless and the emotionally disturbed that are all throughout the 59 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 4: subway system, patrolling a lot of the neighborhoods. I oversee 60 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 4: the Guardian Angels in thirteen countries, one hundred and thirty cities, 61 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 4: and then with the help of my wife Nancy, doing 62 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: the animal welfare work, rescuing many of the animals who 63 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: if they were not rescued by many volunteer rescuers who 64 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: are listening to you now, all throughout the Try State 65 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: area and beyond would probably end up being euthanized in 66 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: nearby shelters so that work continues. And then obviously again 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: back the people made their choice, we're now going to 68 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: have to live with it, as are on Mondomie's turn 69 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: as entitled like any incoming mayor, to a period in 70 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: which he's able to put his agenda into motion. But 71 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: I'll certainly be as part of the royal opposition. I've 72 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: already assembled people that hit the barricades because we're not 73 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 4: going to move, We're going to improve. And by the way, Larry, 74 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 4: what happened all those billionaires who were minemicns in the campaign. 75 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: They were all threatening they were going to sell their businesses. 76 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 4: They were going to leave back up, head to Texas, Florida, 77 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: Tennessee and parts unknown. And if you notice the moments 78 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: you're on Mondommi was announced the winner, they were all 79 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 4: reaching out with their Olive branch to make their deals 80 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: with the new mayor of city Hall. 81 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, the question is can they make any deals. I 82 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: think a lot of people's curtis are just waiting to 83 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 2: see if he can do what he says he's going 84 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: to do. I don't think anybody really believes he can 85 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: achieve the things he ran on, So why leave now? 86 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: Why not just sit and wait? I think the leaving 87 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: will come if he actually starts to get what he wants. 88 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: But I don't even do you see a way it's possible. 89 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: I don't know unless he has the printing press that 90 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: the federal government uses to keep printing money both Democrats 91 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 4: and Republicans. There we have a thirty eight trillion dollar 92 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: debt and he grows every day, which is in absolute disgrace. 93 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 4: But in the City of New York, the State of 94 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: New York, and in every other state, you have to 95 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 4: have a balanced budget, and the money is not going 96 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 4: to be there. The COVID money is all dried up. 97 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 4: And by the way, the crook has left town again 98 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 4: to Mexico. Why he even bothered to remain Maya. He 99 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 4: should have resigned because he's been traveling around the world 100 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 4: at tax base expense. But do you really believe that 101 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 4: when the Jorhan Mondamie administration gets in and looks at 102 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: the spreadsheets and looks at the books, that the crook 103 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: will not have taken every nickel, diamond, Tenny, he and 104 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: his cronies can get his hands on Eric Adams, and 105 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 4: that what you think is in the treasury in fact 106 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 4: will not be there. I mean, the guy cannot be 107 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 4: trusted around money. Remember his constant saying, we was show 108 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 4: me the money. That's what it's all about, show me 109 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: the money. That's what should have put him in jail 110 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: if President Donald Trump hadn't saved him from being a 111 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 4: cellmate of gold Bars Bobby Menendez. 112 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what with Mom Donnie. Getting back to 113 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie for a second, I think we're seeing that 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: he's not ready for prime time. It's taking him forever 115 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: to fill out his administration. Nobody's taken this long, and 116 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: he already had somebody resign for guess what, anti Semitic comments. 117 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: This isn't a good start, Curtis now. 118 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 4: But look, there's always ripples in the beginning. I look, 119 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 4: I've followed so many mayors and their initiation. He's got 120 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: to get his feet wet. I give him a grace period. 121 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: Everybody should, because hey, look if John Mondammie and his 122 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: administration do well, we do well, the state does well, 123 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: the country does well. So we got to hope that 124 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 4: he does well. I mean, anybody out there is hoping 125 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 4: that he doesn't do well. That's like self destructive. That 126 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: won't be good for our city, won't be good for 127 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: our state, most importantly, won't be good for our country. 128 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: So hopefully he'll he'll be able to get up on 129 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: a good track. I don't think so, but I'd rather 130 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 4: give him the benefit of the doubt. 131 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: Well, Curtis is going to be returning to the New 132 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: York City Airways from ten to noon in from Mark 133 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: Simone on seven to ten WR from December twenty second 134 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: through January second to hear a lot more of what 135 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: you just heard now, Curtis. I'm really looking forward to it. 136 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm pulling for you. I can't wait to see what 137 00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: you do next. 138 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: Oh Larry, I'll be telling all the stories that went 139 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 4: on on the campaign on the station I spent thirty 140 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: five years at. In talk radio. It used to be 141 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 4: always broadcasting Curtis, and then it became always broadcasting Cuomo. 142 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 4: Now it continues to be always bashing Curtis, and oh boy, 143 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 4: there's a lot of bones that I'm going to be 144 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: digging up and letting everybody know what happened over there 145 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 4: that helped destroy my opportunity to become the mayor who 146 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: could have kept this city afloat instead of what our 147 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 4: conversation has just been about in these past few minutes. 148 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: Who's not going to listen now that everybody has to 149 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: listen to that team, that's great. Thanks a lot, Curtis, 150 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: can't wait, can't wait here? 151 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 4: Hey, Larry, everybody over at this you you might'll be 152 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 4: listening because I'll be airing all their dirty laundry. 153 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: Larry, dirty lawn.

I'll listen to you next week coming up. 155 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: There are more children dying from the flu than ever before. 156 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: We're going to talk with why that's happening with doctor 157 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: Arthur Kaplan from Landgune Medical Center. 158 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: Here's Larry with more of the WOOR Saturday Morning Show. 159 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: Hospitals are recording a record number of debts among children 160 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: and the main reason is parents aren't getting their kids vaccinator. 161 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: Let's talk about it with doctor Arthur Kaplan, professor of 162 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: Bioethics at New York University Landgone Medical Center. Is this 163 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: because of that whole anti vaccine thing? 164 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: It is it's one hundred. Due to that, I know, 165 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: we've heard that measos are rampant in South Carolina, in Oklahoma, 166 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: some other states. It's already been tied to dropping vaccine rates. 167 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: Whooping cough is back, which is preventable by vaccines and flu. 168 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: I think is a part of that. People are just, 169 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 3: you know, not getting shots. People tend to think of 170 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: the flu is a bad illness, but you get through it. 171 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: But for a young child, or for that matter, an 172 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: older person, a very old person, say plus seventy, it 173 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: can be and is lethal, so you do want to 174 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: try and get the shot. 175 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 2: And this year especially, I heard that there is a 176 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: strain of the flu that has just come to the 177 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: United States. It was overseas at first, and it's a 178 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: really severe formula flu that happened after they already put 179 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: the vaccine together. 180 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: And the vaccine doesn't exactly target that. But I'll tell 181 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 3: you this, it shifts you from being in the ICU 182 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: to being at home and feeling horrible for three or 183 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: four days. In other words, you do get some benefit, 184 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: even though it won't necessarily prevent you from getting that 185 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 3: flu strain, but it makes it less lethal, so you 186 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: got to do it. 187 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 2: It's such an easy thing to do now too. They 188 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: have the flu shot everywhere and they're giving it out 189 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 2: for free at some pharmacies. So yeah, just take the 190 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: time to get your flu shot. Here's another big story 191 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: in the news right now. New York is set to 192 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: legalize medically assisted suicide and they right in there with 193 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: guard rails. What are the guardrails? 194 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: So I favored this. Twelve states have done it. Illinois 195 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: did it last week, but it's been in place in 196 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: Oregon and Washington since the late nineties. No abuses, nobody 197 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: has been rushed off to death. But the checks and 198 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: balances of the you have to have two doctors confirmed 199 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: that you're terminally ill. It's only for people who are 200 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 3: terminally ill six months to live. They are the only 201 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: ones who had access. You've got to be seen by 202 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: a psychologist psychiatrist to make sure you're competent, that you're 203 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: exercising a free choice. And there's another guardrail, which is 204 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: you really have to wait. So you ask for the 205 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: medicine that you're going to use to end your life, 206 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: but then you wait five days and they come back 207 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: and say, do you really want to do this? So 208 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 3: I think the safeguards are good. We got to keep 209 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 3: in minds just for the people who are dying, only 210 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: people in New York State can do it. Gives a choice, 211 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: you don't have to do it. But there are people 212 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 3: who say, by dying so awful, I want to end it. 213 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: And I would imagine because of what we're talking about, 214 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: and especially because of the guard rails, we're not talking 215 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: about that many people are. 216 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: We No, it's strictly termally old people. It's very restricted. 217 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a really fascinating story, and I don't 218 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: understand it completely. Despite laws against it, Cosmetic surgeons are 219 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: banning negative reviews. How can they possibly do that in 220 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: this day and age. 221 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: Before you even start, they make you sign a non 222 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 3: disclosure agreement, so they say, you want to be my patient, 223 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: you have to sign this and you have to promise 224 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 3: you're not going to post anything negative about my treatment online. 225 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: You know what? That is illegal? Yeah? 226 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 5: Can you imagine that I would be running out of 227 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 5: that office. 228 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 229 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a red flag. That's a big red flag. 230 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 3: So they're very nervously get one bad review. I guess 231 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: in southern California, you know, surgeons to the stores and 232 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: it damages them. But you can't do that. You can't 233 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 3: control free speech or your right to post an evaluation. 234 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 3: What the doctor should be doing is writing a response, 235 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: not saying you can't do it right. 236 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: But the fact that they put that in front of 237 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: you in the beginning is doesn't that scream I might 238 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: see yeh, don't tell anybody it's trouble. 239 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: Trouble come in the here before a ward. Yeah, I 240 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: would be with Natalie right out of the office. Boom. Yeah. 241 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: It's really strange. Hospitals cater to transplant tourists, US patients 242 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 2: waiting for organs will do anything to find it, and 243 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: so they travel from state to say is that what 244 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: this is about? 245 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: They're foreigners coming here, rich people getting in line with 246 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 3: the rest of US, and they're getting priority in some 247 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 3: cases over American citizens. I'm going to tell you this 248 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: also is illegal. We were not supposed to see big 249 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: numbers for coming here as part of the government run 250 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: distribution system. And this New York Times story has revealed traffic, 251 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: if you will, from the Middle East, Japan, and these 252 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 3: are rich people are just buying their way in. So 253 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 3: that's got to be fixed. 254 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: Now, are they doing it off of the books. Is 255 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: that how they get away with us? 256 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: They do not. It's above born. I don't know why 257 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: this hasn't come out a long time ago. There are 258 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: rumors of it, but no, because you got to put 259 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: the person in the system, so we know that. You know, 260 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 3: mister X from Japan, who's very rich, is listed in 261 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: the system against Larry and Art and he got the 262 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: organ It's got to be tracked, so people had to know. 263 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. Well, I'm sure that I hope that 264 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: there's going to be a legislation against that. Doctor Arthur Kaplan, 265 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: Professor of bioethics at New York University land Gone Medical Center. 266 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: She is the out spoken New York City Conservative councilwoman 267 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: and she's found herself in the middle of a controversy. 268 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: City council Woman Vicki Palladino tells us why she's not 269 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: backing down. The oscars are leaving ABC and moving to YouTube. 270 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: We'll talk about it with rich de Muro coming up 271 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: on Saturday morning. 272 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: Back now to the WOOR Saturday Morning Show with Larry Minti. 273 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: Vicky Palladino is the outspoken New York City council woman 274 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: and she's no stranger to controversy. Now she's in the 275 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: middle of another one, after a post on x right 276 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: after the Bondai Beach anti Semitic attack that killed fifteen 277 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: VICKI thank you so much for agreeing to come on today. 278 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: I know you're in the middle of a controversy and 279 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: I want to talk about that for a second. Let 280 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: me read what you posted at first, and then I'll 281 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: ask you what your thoughts are now about that post 282 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: you post. We're in the midst of a global jihad, 283 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: the likes of which the world has never seen, and 284 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,119 Speaker 2: we cannot ignore it. We need to take this very seriously. 285 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: The need to We need to begin the expulsion of 286 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: Muslims from Western nations, or at least the severe sanctions 287 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: of them within Western borders. The administration needs to begin 288 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and 289 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: get it over with before we end up with another 290 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: nine to eleven or worse. Enough is enough? Now? Have 291 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: you since taken that post down? 292 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 6: The reason why that post? Yes, that post was taken down. 293 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 6: We have a new speaker coming in well hopefully she 294 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 6: will be elected a speaker. Her name is Julie Mennin. 295 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 6: And her office reached out to me. Julie's in a 296 00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 6: precarious situation. We need her to be speaker, so uh, 297 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 6: as a favor to her, I did take the post. 298 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 6: And I don't usually do things ever like that, Larry, 299 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 6: not ever. I stand by my work and. 300 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 2: So you stand by and so you stand by these words. 301 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 6: I do, Yes, I do, Indeed, I always do. 302 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: Uh. 303 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 6: You know, first of all, the fact that anybody's outraged, 304 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 6: you know, the outrage over this tweet, It absolutely stuns me. Uh, 305 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 6: you know, and I think about it often, and I 306 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 6: and I think to myself, I think about the progressive off. 307 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 6: What I mean by often is the progressive, the direction 308 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 6: in which we're going in here in the city, in 309 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 6: the in the country, and now all over the world. 310 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 6: You know, it's these are this is the reality that 311 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 6: we all need to face. But go back to what 312 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 6: you originally asking. The reason for taking that down was 313 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 6: not because I'm sorry, Make no mistakes, I'm not sorry. 314 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 6: I took it down because Julie needs to be speaker. 315 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 6: She asked me to do it for her, and I did. 316 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 6: And I did a favor once a long time ago, 317 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 6: four years ago, to be exact, for Adrian Adams when 318 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 6: they said Palladino's blood was gonna be on Chambers for you. See, 319 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 6: this is not the first controversy. They started with me 320 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 6: right out of the gate. So I did a favor 321 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 6: for Adrian and I voted remotely for her, for her 322 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 6: as speaker from Joe Borelli's office. But I told Adrian 323 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 6: she better get her on Moly Schoolyard into order, otherwise 324 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 6: they're going to rule the day, meaning the Progressives. Well 325 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 6: she didn't, and they do. 326 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 4: Julie. 327 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 6: I said the same thing too. I said, Julie, I 328 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 6: will do this for you, but you better understand one 329 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 6: thing here. We've got radical progressives, We've got radical Islamics 330 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 6: in this city. You're gonna have to learn how to 331 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 6: take a stand here. And if you're not going to 332 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 6: take a stand and you cannot hammer it, you can't 333 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 6: take the hammering, as it was put to me by 334 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 6: the press, Well then I don't know what to tell you. 335 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 6: You know, it seems like when I stand up and 336 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 6: I say something, it creates a much necessary conversation that 337 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 6: needs to happen here. Okay, it's reality that people need 338 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 6: to face. And if I could do that and stir 339 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 6: it up so that we can figure things out. 340 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: We can figure it. Let me jump in and tell 341 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 2: you what and look at you know, you know I'm 342 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: in your corner all the time, and so I'm in 343 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: your corner. So I but I can tell you what 344 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: set people off, because I don't think the post was 345 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: that bad except for this one part when you said 346 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: we begin with the expulsion of Muslims from Western nations, right, 347 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 2: But you just said Muslims. That's a religion, and so 348 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 2: it's not that if they committed crime, it's not that 349 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: they got in illegally. It's not anything that you were 350 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 2: talking about religion. And that probably could have been worded better. 351 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 6: That that's the only thing that I would have changed. 352 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 6: But you're not allowed to change on Twitter. It's either 353 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 6: take you have one hour if you don't change it 354 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 6: within one hour, And that was done at five o'clock 355 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 6: in the morning. I was extremely upset about Australia. I 356 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 6: was extremely upset about just so many things that were 357 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 6: going on. Now again, not making excuses say to you 358 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 6: that radical Islamics should have been used, radicalized Muslims should 359 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 6: have been used, instead of isolating it just to Muslims 360 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 6: that's the only thing I'll give you. That's it after that. 361 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: No, Yes, like I said, and I think that is 362 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 2: where all the argument ends right there. That's exactly what 363 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: people were upset about, was just the phrase that it 364 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: was Muslims. Because you know, if you said that all 365 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: Catholics should be out or any other religion should. 366 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 6: Be out, I wish you were right about that, Lowry, 367 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 6: because you know, if you're in the wild wild West, 368 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 6: which is what Twitter is, Uh, the progressives seem to 369 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 6: be able to say and do whatever they want. And uh, 370 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 6: we've got a lot in my council. They've called me 371 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 6: out by name on Twitter. Nobody's called the censor on 372 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 6: them or censoring them. You know, freedom of speech works 373 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 6: both ways. Okay, And I'll give you that only one 374 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 6: thing about Musslim That's the only thing I'm going to 375 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 6: give you here. And that's the only thing I'm going 376 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 6: to give anybody here. Because the response on Twitter hashtag 377 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 6: wild West has been so positive that people have set up. 378 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 6: People are understanding now finally that what we have here 379 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 6: in our new mayor is going to be a big 380 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 6: problem when we see what he appointed. You know, a 381 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 6: former alcata or he is still an Alcada lawyer, all right. 382 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 6: His name is Casimi Razimi Cassine as his chief counsel. 383 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 6: He's a radicalized lawyer born in Syria and went to Cuney. 384 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 6: So here is another American hating radical who's been allowed 385 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 6: to be in this country, stay in this country. And 386 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 6: now you've got Cassine, who defended the al Qaeda terrorists 387 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 6: Amand of course these names are hard to pronounce, but 388 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 6: he's the one who bombed that oil tanker in Yemen? 389 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 6: Does anybody remember that? And now he is also part 390 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 6: of the legal team that is hamas connected and an 391 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 6: organizer of the Columbia University riots who have repeatedly blocked 392 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 6: who was repeatedly blocked from the by liberal judges. This 393 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 6: is what this new mayor is appointing to his cabinet 394 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 6: chief council. 395 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I'll tell you what. That's all bad, 396 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: And you're right, that's much something. Some of that may 397 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 2: be worse than the tweet, and certainly some of the 398 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: things the city council have done are way worse than 399 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: this tuite. So anyway, I'm glad we got a chance 400 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: to talk so you could straighten things up. Vicky Palladino, 401 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: New York City councilwoman represents District nineteen of Northeast Queens. 402 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: Up next.

The Oscars, which have been 414 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 7: on ABC for so long, are moving to YouTube in 415 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 7: twenty twenty nine. So they've been on ABC for more 416 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,239 Speaker 7: than fifty years. I've been you know, in LA for 417 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 7: a long time seeing these and monitoring them, and I 418 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 7: actually went to one of the shows back in the day, 419 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 7: and it's just wild to see this move to streaming. 420 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 7: And by the way, at the same time, you know, 421 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 7: we're seeing Netflix trying to buy Warner Brothers. It's just 422 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 7: there's so many changes in Hollywood with the tech world. 423 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 7: But I think this is a good one because it's 424 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 7: gonna make this show available to two billion YouTube users 425 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 7: around the world at the same time, live and free. 426 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 7: And people were asking me already, Larry, Hey, am I 427 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 7: gonna be able to pause this? Am I going to 428 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 7: be able to rewind it? Do I have to pay 429 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 7: thing to watch it? The answer is yes, you'll be 430 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 7: able to rewind. Yes, you'll be able to pause, and 431 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 7: know you will not have to pay? Will the ratings 432 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 7: be as high? 433 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 2: I don't know. 434 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 7: Streaming is a completely different beast than over the air TV. 435 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: So it's that time of year now where everybody does 436 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: the best of the year and what is the best 437 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: toy of the year. And now they have the best 438 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: apps of the year? What are they? 439 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, both both Google Play and Apple named their best 440 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 7: apps of the year. There's a whole bunch. I'll just 441 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 7: highlight some of them. One of them called focus Friend 442 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 7: made both lists. This is from YouTuber Hank Green and 443 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 7: basically it's a tiny, little playful app that you put 444 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 7: on your phone and when you want to focus on something, 445 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 7: you just tap the app and it will start counting 446 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 7: up the more that you put your phone down and 447 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 7: don't touch it. The more this little animated creature on 448 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 7: your phone screen gets to knit and he's happier and 449 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 7: it's just a whole thing. So that's kind of a 450 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 7: fun little app. The other one that's interesting is called 451 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 7: tem O Tiimo. This is Apple App. 452 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 3: Of the Year. 453 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 7: It's a visual planner that was originally built for the 454 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 7: neurodiversion people with ADHD because it helps you plan your day. 455 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 7: But I'll be honest, I downloaded it and I was like, oh, 456 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 7: this is really good, so anyone can use that. Let's 457 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 7: see fun game, Candy Crush, Solitaire. I downloaded a bunch 458 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 7: of these apps to test them out. I keep playing this. 459 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 7: It's a lot of fun. It's like Solitaire, but with 460 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 7: a you know, sweet theme and fun, you know, a 461 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 7: fun twist on Solitaire. And finally, the game that got 462 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 7: on both lists, you know, Pokemon Pokemon TCG Pocket. This 463 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 7: is basically a game version on your phone of what 464 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 7: people are doing in real life, which is trading those 465 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 7: Pokemon cards and collecting them. 466 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 2: Now, what about these meta smart glasses? And I really 467 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: love this. I'm very interested in this. By the way, 468 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 2: my kids, that's all they wander smart classes. This is 469 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 2: so fascinating to me because for people that have to 470 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 2: put on closed captioning when they watch television like I do, 471 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 2: this would help. 472 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is and this is what I love about 473 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 7: the gadgets we have nowadays, including cars like you know, 474 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 7: Tesla's and the iPhone and the androids of the world, 475 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 7: and also smart gadgets. They get better with software updates. 476 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 7: You don't necessarily have to buy a new gadget, which 477 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 7: I think is a really cool shift in the way 478 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 7: that we purchase and consume stuff. So these AI glasses 479 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 7: from ray Band, the ray Band metas they're getting a 480 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 7: new software update that basically gives them a feature called 481 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 7: conversation Focus. It amplifies the voice of the person you're 482 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,239 Speaker 7: trying to talk to. And if you've ever been in 483 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 7: a noisy, crowded situation like a restaurant, a train, a 484 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 7: large group event with a lot of background noise, it 485 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 7: could be tough to hear the person that's right across 486 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 7: from you. So this will amplify their audio in your 487 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 7: ears so you can hear them better. And all they 488 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 7: see is that you're wearing a pair of sunglasses or glasses. 489 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 7: I think this is brilliant. 490 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: That's perfect.
