Hour 3: New Jersey's house debate · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, this nor'easter we had was interesting, wasn't it? Because
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: we were told it was going to hit hard, and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it did. It absolutely did. But it hit hard along
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the shoreline. There are some people that will tell you, oh, geez,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that bad because they were farther inland. So
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: let's talk more about that and get some of the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: numbers with the man you just heard from a second ago,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic, WOR Weather Channel meteorologist. ray in many ways
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: i know it was one storm but it was almost
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a tale of two storms because if you were on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the coastline my god it was like armageddon but if
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you were a little bit inland it was just rain.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah and coastal flooding beach erosion significant even out ahead
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of when the main load developed we had multiple days
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: of a pressure gradient wind which was basically strong high
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: pressure to the north and weaker low pressure to the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: south and then we got the nor'easter to develop and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: The slow movement and even that movement back toward the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: west just kept pushing the water in along the coastline. And, yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: there have been some comparisons, I would say, in isolated
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: areas to maybe water as high as what we did
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: receive in Sandy. But as for overall widespread significant, as
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you said, significant impacts, we didn't see a bunch of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: flooding from the rain coming out of the sky. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we had some scattered power outages. We were expecting that
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: with strong winds. The winds did gust, at least isolated
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: one reported wind gust. I'm on talk point over 80
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: miles an hour, but that was in the lighthouse, which
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think was a couple hundred feet above the ground.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So that strong wind didn't translate down to the surface,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: but still we had tropical storm force winds on Long
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Island and New England. Luckily, luckily didn't see widespread heavy
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: rain and flooding because of kind of the on again,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: off again, nature of the rain. And we didn't see
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: more in terms of wind damage and even worse, in
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: terms of some of the water rise, but as we
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: had said, it was significant in some spots.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, thank you, Ray, for not hiding behind the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: fact that there was a high tide and a full moon,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: like I've heard some of your brothers and sisters in solidarity.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: What role, if any, did that play with all the flooding?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Well, certainly it played a pretty significant role of high
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: tide and not only a full moon. So abnormally high tide, too,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and there's another one coming this afternoon. That's why the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: coastal flood advisories until 2 p.m. So with the full moon,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you'll get an abnormally high tide, and so that's why
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the water coming in was a little bit higher, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it will be again. We'll probably have another inundation here,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: probably not to what we saw over the weekend, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the water is going to come up again at high
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: tide this afternoon.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest problems along the shoreline has been
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: beach erosion. And it's stunning, some of the pictures, especially
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: from like Atlantic City.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: There was a cliff.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, you would actually go along the beach and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: then it just dropped off. What causes that?
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: How does that happen?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Well, that was more of the persistent just onshore flow
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: around the high and the low developing. And it just
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: started days before the storm was even formed because of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: how strong that high was. And you just keep pounding away,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and the water doesn't have any opportunity to recede back
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: into the Atlantic. So it just stays up, and with
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: each push and each continued push of water in, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: then you throw the storm on top of that with
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: even stronger winds and the high tides and the full
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: moon pushing all that water in, basically you just wear
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the base of that sand and that cliff out, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: eventually it falls.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Now I want you to put your sinking cap on now, Ray,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: because you're very laid back, very stoic at times. Should
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: we look at the glasses if it's half full, not
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: half empty, and the fact that we haven't had any hurricanes,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: but we've had all these nor'easters and flooding that started
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: back on Memorial Day?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Is that the way we should look at this?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I would look at it half full.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: What a shock. Oh, man, I'm trying every way I
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: can to hook this guy.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You're trying.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: You're trying.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: First story, sir. Here is my one concern. So I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: do have a little concern as we get into the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: winter months now. We're going into this super.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: El Nino, right?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Everybody's heard of that. We're already there. And during El
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Nino winters, traditionally, there's an opportunity for more East Coast storms.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So is this the beginning of an early nor'easter season?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Because typically you don't see this until later in the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: fall or even into the winter months, these nor'easters. Is
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: this a sign of things to come? Because if this
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: had any cold air with it, if this was the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: middle of winter and it was cold enough, this would
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: be a whole heck of a lot of snow, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: we'd be talking about something different. So the other thing
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I want to say, no hurricanes. That record continues in
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the Atlantic. There's some chatter in the meteorological community, though,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that The National Hurricane Center could go back and look
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: at this and say that, oh, maybe it did get
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: some tropical characteristics. So they may go back and do
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: something in terms of was it a hurricane or was
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it a tropical storm or was it not? From the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: way it looked on the satellite presentation, it sure did.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: look and have the feel of it, but it's all
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: about the dynamics and the thermodynamics with inside the center
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: of the storm.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Larry, are you part of that chatter?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You know, you weather guys, you know, that nonsensical chatter
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that goes back and forth.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: They threw me out a long time ago. Listen, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: noticed when you talked about the hurricanes, you talked about
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic, because you can't tell Hawaii there hasn't been hurricanes.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No, you can't. And what do we've got? So we've
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: got Polo off the west coast of Mexico going to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: go into the Baja of California, that was up to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a 180 mile per hour hurricane at one point.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: And then you've got.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Lolo, I think, that went south of Hawaii and gave
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: them Lolo, Lolo, Lolo. I know there's Polo and Lolo.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: This is what typically happens again in an El Nino
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: hurricane season. You get more activity in the Pacific than
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you do the Atlantic, and that's working out just like
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to climatologically.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting hit right now, right?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: In Hawaii, yes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Luckily, not a landfall, but there's been some unsettled weather.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The track's a little further south than they were anticipating,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: maybe the middle of last week. So the effects may
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: be not as extreme, but still more rain and some
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: gusty winds and high surf for the Big Island and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the islands of Hawaii.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: All right, Ray.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I look forward to the next time I can attack you, Ray.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, Ray Stajic, you are the best,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: despite what Curtis Lewis says. WOR Weather Channel Meteorologist. Thanks
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: so much, Ray. I have a lot of friends who
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: are huge Bruce Springsteen fans, would go to the Stone
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Pony if they thought he might show up. If there
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was a rumor that he was on the boardwalk in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Asbury Park, they would go there. They would go to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: see the museum for him at the Monmouth University. Just
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: obsessed with him. Everything about him they wanted to be
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: near and wanted to touch. And one of those things...
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: is his home, his cottage. It's a very modest cottage
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in Long Branch, New Jersey, where he grew up as
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a child, I think from six years old up through
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: high school before he became a big star. And it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: where he wrote most of the songs for the Born
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to Run album, the one that really launched him into superstardom. Well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: there was a fire there, not in the cottage. Because
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the cottage is really modest. It's small, but there's a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: big building right next door. And that's what caught fire.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And there was this big concern because there's even a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: plaque outside the house. This is the birthplace and this
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is the home, the childhood home of Bruce Springsteen. There
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was real concern, not that the fire was going to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: spread because the fire department in Long Branch did an
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: excellent job, but that it was going to collapse soon.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And so I'm happy to tell people that were concerned
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: about this that they moved in quickly and they've now
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: taken that building down. But we came extremely close to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: losing that home.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Wait a second.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I thought he was in the one percenters in Rumson
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: with them and then Colts Neck. Boy, he's really moved
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on from those days.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He made a lot of money.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but a totally different kind of people who live
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in those neighborhoods.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: He has a farm, right?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: He gets a huge tax break.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Because of his farm.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: He gets what in Jersey you get the property tax rebate,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: you know, signed by whoever is the governor there because
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: he's Farmer Bruce.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: You know, you mentioned the Stone Pony.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: The summer stage that they put out outside of it
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: during the storm, the big canvas, you know, roof part
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: of it, that's gone. So hopefully they'll get that back
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: up because I believe they still have some concerts in
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: the summer stage coming up in October.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I've gone to the Stone Pony
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: when I thought he was going to get up. I've
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gone a couple of times. Never happens.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Disappointed.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: But you ain't doing it no more, right? If you
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: happen to hear that he would be in Asbury Park performing,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling because of his social political awareness campaign,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: you would be miles away.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: Probably.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Probably. Probably.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: There's part of me that still has an affinity for
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen, but I like to remember what he was
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and not what he's become. Let's get some talkbacks.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: All this AI stuff is giving me a Y2K vibe.
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: It's like these companies create the hype just like Y2K.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: Government spends a lot of money to help them solve it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: In this case, AI, they want a lot of money
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: to put up the guardrails that they're already working on,
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: but they get money from governments all over the world
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: because of all this nonsense about how it's going to
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: take over like Terminator.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: It's all BS.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I like that comparison to Y2 Chaos. Remember, the whole
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: world was supposed to stop. And then all of a
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: sudden we realize... nothing stopped.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: It all continued on.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of hype and nothing.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: On AI, Larry is 100% correct. And so is President Trump.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, the same climate change hoax guys were telling
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: us we're going to die now. They switched over to this.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: It's all about regulation and money and power as nothing.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: If you think anybody cares about people dying, I saw
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: your bridge in Brooklyn.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, there's another comparison. You know what I mean? There
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: have been a lot of hoaxes. We've gone through a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: lot of hoaxes.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: It seems the AI discussion has entered a mutually assured
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: destruction phase. Since these AI corporations are multinational in nature,
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: they really have no No allegiance to any particular nation,
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: be it China or the United States. If restrictions are
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: put on in one country and not in another, it
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: really doesn't matter. They'll just move their facilities and their
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: research there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: But now it's 8.30 and let's get the news with Daria.
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: Good morning, guys. Showers through midday today at a high
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: of 62 degrees. The big cleanup beginning after this weekend's Nor'easter.
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: The main part of it, downed trees. One fell on
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: a NYCHA worker in Brooklyn, killing him. Eight counties in
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: New Jersey are still under a state of emergency. We're
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: learning more about a police-involved shooting last month of a
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: knife-wielding man in Times Square.
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: The NYPD is releasing body cam footage of the incident
• 11:28
  Speaker 11: in which 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros was shot by cops on
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: August 31st after she allegedly stabbed two people, killing a
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: 32-year-old mother and injuring a 69-year-old man. Police are heard
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: pleading with Cisneros to drop her two knives. Moments later,
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: she lunged at officers and was shot and killed. The
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: knives were recovered at the scene. Police say Cisneros had
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: a history of mental illness. Larry Kofsky, WOR News.
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: Attorney General Todd Blanch backs President Trump's attempt to ban
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: three major news outlets from the White House over what
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: he says is negative coverage and fake news. That's despite
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: a federal judge's order that CNN... MSNOW and Politico's access
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: be restored for at least two weeks. Blanche says being
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: there is not a right, it's a privilege. Walmart says
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: it's going to use digital labels in its stores, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: that has some shoppers worried.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Digital price labels let stores change prices instantly from a
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: central computer. Walmart says customers that are browsing that item
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: will not be profiled. CEO John Furner says shoppers' income,
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: purchase history, or willingness to pay won't affect the price.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Neither will the time of day they're shopping. Last month,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: the Federal Trade Commission said that it's putting companies on
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: notice that the practice of personalizing pricing could violate consumer
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: protection laws. Wayne Cabot, ABC News.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: And there's a day for everything. Today is National Drink
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: Beer Day.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Bottoms up.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: Giants win, Jets lose, Mets end their season with a
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: loss to Washington. Yankees game against Baltimore was rained up.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And out, rather.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: So next up is game one of the wild card
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: series against Boston. Next news, 9 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Darian, and congratulations to Mega Karen from Trumbull, Connecticut.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: You just won a pair of tickets to see Stevie
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Wonder's sold-out Songs in the Key of Life 50th anniversary
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: concert at Madison Square Garden. What a show. November 19th,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: another chance to win tomorrow at 825. It is one
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of the most watched races in the country and could
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: decide who takes the house between Tom Kane Jr. and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Bennett of New Jersey. It happened last night. It's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: going to be the only debate we'll tell you about
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the winners and losers when we come back. And our
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One. Relive all
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the biggest moments streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu beginning
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: October 5th. October 1st, excuse me. Beginning October 1st, it
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: streams on Disney Plus and Hulu.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Ah, here we are. Trying to cut us off, huh?
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I was talking. No, I saw your lips open there.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I said to myself, oh, Sabatucci, huh?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: There's been so, as I was saying, there's been so
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: much gerrymandering and so much political redistricting in the country
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that right now there are only a handful of congressional
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: seats that are going to decide who takes control of
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. And one of the most fought after,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: where a lot of money is going to be spent,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: is the 7th District seat in New Jersey, currently held
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: by Tom Kane Jr. But it goes back and forth
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and back and forth. There's been Democrats that have held it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: There have been Republicans that have held it. It really,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: truly is a purple district. So last night, they had
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a debate. It is their only debate. And no, it
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: wasn't televised. Congressional seats rarely get televised. And if you
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: look at the video on television, not very good. The audio,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: not very good. And the truth is, I was going
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to save this till the end, but the truth is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that unless there's a huge mistake or unless somebody does
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: something in the debate that is way out of bounds,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get covered. It rarely gets covered, but we're
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: going to cover it here because the seat is so important.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: This is the debate now between Tom Kane Jr., who
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: currently holds the seat, and Rebecca Bennett, who is a businesswoman.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And by the way, in the debate, maybe two dozen times,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: she reminded us that she used to be a Navy pilot.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: That came up over and over and over again.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Helicopter pilot. Helicopter pilot. Yeah, exactly.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And she, by the way, if you took one thing
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: away from that debate, she said that over and over again.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But as is the case with most of these debates,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it is the person running against an incumbent that goes
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: on the attack. Now let's hear the two of them
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: talk about tariffs. Did you say that it was not
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Congress's responsibility to levy tariffs?
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: My focus is saying that the president right now is
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: using it appropriately, and I support his use in that regard.
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: That's all right.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: You want to respond to that?
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: Congress is the one that should be levying tariffs.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they disagreed on tariffs. This was what you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: just heard right there. That was the debate for the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: most part. Now, Rebecca Bennett tried to score some points,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and she went after him saying, and this is an
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: age-old accusation, and sometimes it's very, very true, like in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the case of Nancy Pelosi, about how congressmen get into
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: office and congresswomen get into office and try to enrich
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: themselves with their positions.
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: The reason that we are seeing this increase in our
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: gas prices is because of this unnecessary war that we're
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: seeing in Iran. And I just want to be clear
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: here because my opponent, Congressman Tom King Jr., has voted
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: three times now to let this war to continue without
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: any congressional oversight. And you might ask, why is it
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: that he's continuing to do this? It's because he has
• 17:34
  Speaker 13: taken over $ 100, 000 in corporate PAC money and he has
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: traded over $ 100, 000 in oil and gas stocks. And so ultimately,
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: he is making these decisions to enrich himself personally. And
• 17:45
  Speaker 13: I am doing this because I want to make sure
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: we are making all of our lives better.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Now, just to be fair, let's get Tom Kane Jr.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: 's response to that accusation.
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: In fact, every three months it's reported so. In fact,
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: I've gone further than the ethics committee recommended by also
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: saying no short sale in. And no investing companies in
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: countries that want to do us harm. So I've got
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: a blind structure in which I have no involvement and
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: no input. In fact, David, she was corrected by you
• 18:13
  Speaker 12: because she's been lying about this for so long.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: The truth is this debate's not going to affect the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: election in any way, but it's important that they do it.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Neither of them had a big flub. There was no
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: news made out of it. And that's what you want.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: It's going to be decided in the commercials.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Well, one thing I couldn't understand, Tom Kane Jr.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: very supportive of the president's war in Iran.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: But then he added, I would send U.S. troops to
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: defend Israel.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: And even the strongest defenders of Israel are not advocating
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Israel can handle its own business. We've seen that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't know why he decided to do that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: But I would tell you, if I lived in that district,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I would refuse to exercise my right to vote because,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: you know, they have this frivolous section where they ask
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: these stupid questions that eat up precious talk time that
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: should be devoted to serious issues. And they said, hey, Tom,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: would you eat pizza with pineapple on it?
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: And then what did Bennett say? Yeah, me too.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I said, wait, wait, idiots. Pineapple on pizza is in California.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Nobody eats pineapple on pizza in New Jersey or New York.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: That is a disgraciada. That is a shanda. That was
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: a question that was asked in the one and only debate.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: There should be two debates mandatory. But, oh, well, we'll
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: just do one debate. What a stupid question to ask.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: I will tell you this.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: In most of the districts in New Jersey and most
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of the districts across America, there'll be no debates. Because
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: if you're far ahead... why would you agree to a debate?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So it is not a requirement. That's a good idea.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that before, that they should require a debate.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Two debates. You give the person who may have lost
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: the first debate a comeback opportunity. I had two debates
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: for mayor. There's only going to be one debate for governor.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: You say to yourself, the people aren't entitled to look
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: at these people two separate times. when sometimes issues change
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: between both debates. That's the least we can do for
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: the voters, to allow them to eyeball the people that
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: they're telling you.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Hey, we want you to vote for us.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: In New York, though, it's a requirement because it's attached
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to the money, right? I mean, if you accept the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: money from the city or the state.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Well, now there's matching funds in the statewide election for
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the first time.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Hochul has opted out.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: And obviously the challenger of Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: has opted in. But one, come on, it should be
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: a minimal of two. If we did it in running
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: for mayor, why wouldn't you do it for these other
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: serious positions that people have to make decisions on?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. It's just that I'm trying
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to figure out how that would happen. I guess it
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: would have to be a state law, but then it's
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a federal election. So it has to be a federal law.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think you get enough.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Votes for that. How many times did Trump?
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Debate on his way to the presidency, like 5,852 times
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the first time.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a little bit different. That's a little bit different,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: but it's the congressional debates where you don't get anything.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: But anyway, it's AI on Capitol Hill before Trump and
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Vance go on the campaign trail for the last final
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: 30 days. And we'll recap what's coming up because there's
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: a big summit on Tuesday with all the big muckety
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: mucks in the business. Larry, the president of the United
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: States left that presidential golf tournament in order to be
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: at the White House last night at 10 o'clock.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I never heard of this.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: A 10 o'clock dinner with a person who has been
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: an adversary of his and the Pentagon, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodi.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: We don't know what the results of that dinner were,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: but it all comes in advance of a major summit.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: That the Trump administration has called for on.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Tuesday involving all the key figures involved with artificial intelligence
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: at all different levels, whether they're friends or foes. Because remember,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: the president still has to announce who his AI czar
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: is going to be. He said he would before the
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: start of the UN General Assembly and also his AI committee.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure a lot of that will come out.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: as a result of these meetings and the session, but
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: it has certainly come out of nowhere to become a
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: major issue. And the president must do more than just
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: call it fake news, because there's just too many people
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: from too many places talking about the seriousness of it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I think he has to listen to everybody, come up
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: with a policy. I understand he's got to determine the policy,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: but the old fake news thing is just not going
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: to carry through this election cycle.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: No, and he doesn't have to do anything of substance
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to tell you the truth. He just has to do something.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of Democrats calling for an AI czar.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: That's an easy one. He can make an AI czar
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: before the midterms, and he could get someone that everybody
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: looks up to, both sides look up to. That'd be smart.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: That'll put the issue on the back burner. I think
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you're going to hear something like that in the next
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, because The issue is not going to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: go away, and especially because you have some really loud,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: loudspeaker voices in the AI and in the high-tech community.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: They're going to be pounding and pounding and pounding away
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: at this. As I said earlier in the show, I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: question their motives. I think that the answer to every
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: mystery is money, and I think they're looking for more
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: money and more control.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: But you're right. You're right.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's become an issue. A lot of people don't understand it,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and that's always the scariest of issues. So he's got
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to do something. And I got a feeling you're going
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to hear the czar.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: At the end of the AI summit, though, both the
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: president and Vice President Vance have their marching orders. They
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: are going to be crisscrossing the country. to try to
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: get out the Republican vote, to try to get their
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: message out before the midterms, before it's determined on November 3rd.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: So they got something making up to do. The polls
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: are not promising.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And it's got to be, I think, Larry, it's got
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: to be a solid message. They can't be all over
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: the map. They got to address the issues that are
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: of concern to all Americans, which I've seen just on
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: this trip to upstate New York. You know, the price
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: of gas, the price of diesel, the price of home heating,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: fuel oil, mortgage rates, groceries.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: You know, the.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Issues that people face every week, they really got to
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: get focused on those issues.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, but it's also important to point
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: out the alternative. And that's what they're doing. They're trying
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to do, and they've done in their ads extremely well. Yeah,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: you're complaining right now, but remember what it was. And
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: remember what the people that are running for office have said.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and remember what the future is going to look like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: with Democrats in office, and all of the things, how
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: they ruined the country in the past, that may happen again.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be really fascinating because it's going
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to be the tale of the present and the tale
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of the past, and that's what's going to run. I
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: will say, I will admit that usually the president wins,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: but they're spending a lot of money talking about how
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: weird the Democratic Party is. We can talk about that
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: more during the week, and we're going to have to
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: ramp up our coverage of the midterms because it's getting
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: into the heat of it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow, tickets to see Stevie Wonder at the sold-out Madison
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Square Garden concert at 825. You don't want to miss that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: And the talkback of the morning and winner of the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt is
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: not believing the AI hype.
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: All this AI stuff is giving me a Y2K vibe.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: It's like these companies create the hype just like Y2K.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: Government spends a lot of money to help them solve it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: In this case, AI, they want a lot of money
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: to put up the guardrails that they're already working on,
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: but they get money from governments all over the world
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: because of all this nonsense about how it's going to
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: take over like Terminator. It's all BS.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Ah, like Y2K, I forgot about all that. And remember,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the Talkback of the Week will win a C-Crane radio.
