Hour 1: NJ Drivers · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie yesterday. Natalie Migliore was sampling opinions with
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the rebirth redevelopment of the Port Authority that is causing
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: chaos for New Jersey folks coming in to the Lincoln Tunnel.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And today, you should have seen our own Natalie, producer.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I saw fire and smoke coming out of your nostrils
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and your ears because you were so ticked off at
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: what has now happened as a result of this maybe
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: years-long redevelopment.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Wait, what is the reason for the— it' s not the backup there.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: That's still Gateway, isn't it?
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it's both now.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Because it's been Gateway for a long time. They haven't
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: really started.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: The other one.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: But so something definitely has changed in the past week
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: because it's gotten a lot worse.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: They just closed down different roads. The one we use,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: they go back and forth and back and forth and
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: back and forth.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It's the same construction.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Lincoln Tunnel, as we know, was built
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: a long time ago.
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: It's.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: The Helix is probably not the best for the amount
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: of traffic that's coming in.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: But we deal.
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: Now you're going to have two major projects going on
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: right on the other side of the tunnel. This is insane.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you could do.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It's going to get worse because they're going to start
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: closing down some of the tunnels. That's the next phase
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: in this. Right now, the phase is in the outside.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Um, and, and so what they do is there's only
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: two ways when you get out of the tunnel, you
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: can take a right, you can take a left, right?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: That's the only two ways you can go. And they've
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: been cutting off one at a time. And we like
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to go to the left when we get out and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: that's cut off.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: I'll go anywhere that doesn't take me 20 minutes at 4.30.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: In the morning to get somewhere.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: No, I'm there at 4.30 in the morning.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Well, honestly, the traffic, you should not be sitting in traffic,
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: dead stop traffic, you know, in 4 o'clock in the morning.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Just you shouldn't.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, Chris.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Larry.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know what anybody's going to do about this.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Probably nothing.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: But you know what they could do?
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: Maybe put some more public transportation from New Jersey coming in.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Which they don't.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: I live in northern New Jersey, probably one of the
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: most populated, densely populated areas in the country. I cannot
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: take a bus or a train from anywhere near my
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: house before 5 a.m.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of buses just not near your house.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: There's something to have against you because when I leave here,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: there's a line of buses I can't believe. And they're
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: all in that single lane on the Helix. All of
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: them are in that single lane. There must be 50
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: buses that go all the way back to the turnpike.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Anyway, enough complaining. If you're coming through the Lincoln Tunnel,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: just brace yourself.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, you're right.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: And you got pushed back so far today, you didn't
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: even miss the discount on congestion pricing.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: To really add insult to injury. I usually get in
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: before 5, so you only pay $ 2.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: 25.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Well, that didn't happen this morning. Nine bucks in their
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: pockets today.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm done.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: And the worst thing, let me go on, because the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: other problem is, can they get together and decide how
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: many projects they're going to do at the same time?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Because they're also working on the streets. So then you
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: can only go one way getting out of the Lincoln tunnel.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: They make you go to the right or left. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: then sometimes the streets closed right when you get there
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: because of another project on the, on the, I had
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to go all the way over to the East side
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to go around and come back to the station. The
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: other day because there was two streets closed that early
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: in the morning. And they seem to only do this
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: stuff overnight, right? It's not like this. There's a certain
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: hour when they open things up.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: Usually after 5 a.m. most of the construction is put
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: to rest for the night.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So nobody else cares.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: But, you know, because they have normal congestion because they
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: have more people coming in during the daytime. So they
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: have their own issues. Obviously people coming in now, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: it's just starting to build up. You know, it is
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: not an easy life here in the city.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: It is not.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: There's always something. It's always something. Now, does this, when
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the winter starts, do they stop a lot of these projects?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Probably not. Probably not because everybody knows what it looks like.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: There's no way of.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Clearing it up now. They have cranes up and holes
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: in the ground. You know, that's not just going to
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: go away.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: They will go away eventually. Well, eventually.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: But not this winter, I'm going to say.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Later in this segment, we're going to talk about How
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: New Jersey drivers are rated the second worst in the nation.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Because we're all stressed out. Let me talk about Donald Trump,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: who is in a marathon. You and Larry are preparing
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for the New York City Marathon, which 710WOR covers from
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: beginning to end on Sunday.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's like four straight hours. No interruptions whatsoever.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, when you say preparing... We're not preparing to run,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: just so everybody knows that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're not running this year? We're preparing to broadcast.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me with my knee injuries, sure.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But the president has hit 30 sites in 30 days. Today,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: two in Texas for Paxton, who's neck and neck with Tallarico.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: He came off the barnstorming tour of Mississippi yesterday, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-B-I.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And his voice was hoarse.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But he responded as to why, Larry, exactly why his
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: voice is getting very hoarse.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't because of all the appearances. He was
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: yelling at some foreign dignitary over tariffs.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I feel great.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: something having to do with trade.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: In a country, and I straightened it out.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: But I blew my stack at these.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like there's a follow up there.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: But can I ask you about Venezuela?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: You suggested what? It sounds like there's a follow up there.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you about Venezuela?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: You said there was a polyp. That's a big deal
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: if you get a polyp in your throat. But it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: not a polyp.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He bruised his throat. And because I've had a lot
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of throat issues over the years, anybody. doing talk TV,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: talk radio. In fact, remember I said it was Dr.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Lederman to the rescue. I had no voice. 12 midnight.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It was Sunday going into Monday. And then I got
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: my prescription of prednisone, which is what a lot of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: people with voice issues have because they have too much mucus.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: It covers the voice box. And that's what causes it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But the other cause is a bruised throat muscle. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this is what President Donald Trump has. Now, it's not
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: like you can have the MD with the black bag.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: who follows every president, who has every miracle you can
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: imagine under the sun, like they did for Joe Biden,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you know, to get him going with the amphetamines.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: This is the Dr. Curtis segment. I didn't know you
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: could diagnose someone from afar. Well, I believe the president
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: because I've had bruised vocal cords. And a bruised vocal
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: cord is like any kind of bruise you have on
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: your body. There is no miracle shot or pill that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: going to resolve that. It requires a little bit of rest,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of which the president has no time. Imagine two major
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: speaking engagements today in Texas. And as you know, Donald
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Trump does not give you the hors d'oeuvres. He gives
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you the full entree. 90 minutes is considered a short talk.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Sometimes he goes two hours. But this is not unique.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: JFK, in the waning days of his campaign against Nixon,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: which was neck and neck, had his black bag doctor
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: who was giving him all kinds of shots, including amphetamines,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: which they claim were B12 shots, the Upper East Side doctor.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And as you know, Bill Clinton always had allergy problems.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: He'd lose his voice.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Every antihistamine he takes, Sudafed, everything else. It didn't work
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: at times, but this is going to be a real
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: test for the president.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Do you think so? I think he's going to be fine.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: He's dealt with this kind of stuff before, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and so... I think if he thought he couldn't do it,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: he wouldn't even give the speech. I don't know what
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: they do with him, and they must do something. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: don't know what treatments he goes through. I don't know
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: if he gets shots. But, man, the guy has an
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: immense amount of energy, and every time you think exactly
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: what you're saying, because he's had voice problems before, every
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: time you think, well, that guy's got to give it up,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: he's got to take a night off, He doesn't, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: he's fine. So there must be some regimen he's on.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: There must be something the doctors do to bring him back.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Because I guarantee you, he's going to be speaking later
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: tonight or later today, and he's going to be just fine.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: What do you see?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Now, he has been known to take Sudafed, which a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: lot of people take. I forget what the other one is.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: People have allergies. My wife has allergies.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I forget. It starts with a C. Same kind of effect.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: In a way, it dries up all the mucus and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: all the inflammation that you have.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you this.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Two in one day for Paxton, who now has to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: spend all of his time in rural areas because that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: was considered originally a slam dunk. You know, Tallarico has
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the urban areas. That's a Democratic vote. And probably the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: deciding vote in a neck and neck race in Texas
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: will be the growing suburbs. But the president has got
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to get the MAGA vote up because Abbott, who's running
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: for governor, also. a neck and neck race unexpected is
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: not throwing a lifeline to Paxton neither are a lot
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of the traditional Republicans Corrin the Bush family so man
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: this is quite a race and the president is probably
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: going to be at his MAGA best in Texas.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be quite a race, except it's this.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Telerico's now been sliding the last couple of weeks ever
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: since he took that time off, and he really has
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: not regrouped from that. I thought it was desperate that
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: he was doing that ad, trying to get Paxton to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: debate with him, because that's the only shot he has.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I disagree with you. I think this is now Paxton's
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: to lose, because it's going the wrong way for Telerico.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: His poll numbers are just starting to slide and starting to.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Go the wrong way.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: So it's bad this time in a campaign when the
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: poll numbers.
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: Start to slide.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we doubted Telerico the 12 days he
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: was off the campaign trail for that super flu. You
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: know who just came down with it? Tom Jones, he
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: had to cancel his dates, his singing dates in L.A.,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: San Diego. He's got three coming up in Las Vegas.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: He may not be able to do it. And his reason,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the super flu. Yeah, how old's Tom Jones? The Tallarico
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: super flu.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: How old's Tom Jones? What, in his 80s?
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you get the flu and you're in your 80s,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: that's a lot different than.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: When you're in your 40s. I would have held Tom Jones'
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: hands and taken flu shot.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine me and Tom Jones holding hands while
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he got a flu shot?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: When we come back, one of the best characters we've
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: ever seen on television has died. And a very important
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: anniversary of someone we all know and love. Plus, a
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25. Well,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: we lost another member of the original Star Trek crew,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Walter Koenig. who played Ensign Pavel Chekhov, has died. He
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: was 90 years old, and they're almost all gone. The
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: only surviving members of that crew right now are still
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: William Shatner, who is 95, and George Takai, who is 89.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: But you will remember Ensign Chekhov as the go-to engineer.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Chekhov, what do you make of this?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Oh!
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I've read about this, but I've never seen any before.
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: Does everybody know about the sweet but me?
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: Well, not everyone, Captain.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: It's so Russian invention.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, went through the whole thing with that Russian accent.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: You remember him, right?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I do. I was never a Trekkie, though. Yes. Never
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a big Trekkie.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I can't believe it wasn't Russian. I'm sorry.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Like, as a kid, I just thought he was.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: And had to tick off all of the Russian actors
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: out there. We lost another great one, and now they're
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: going to have to find another voice for the Looney Tunes.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Eric Bosa has died. He died young at 46 of
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: cardiac arrest. And this is just after they celebrated their
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: 80 years of Bugs Bunny.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: He took over for the great Mel Blanc.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: There will never be another actor like him. What I
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: miss most about the performance that Mel Blanc left behind
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: was the amount of energy that he had. There's moments
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: in cartoons where.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: It's like, you know, he talks like this, right? But
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: then he's like, oh, I'm dying. You know, like that
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: weird stuff that doesn't even sound like bugs. That's the
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: stuff that as a kid, I'd be like, whoa, where
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: did that come from?
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: And as a performer, like that's the stuff that I
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: want to remind people of that was so great about Mel.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But now they got to find another voice.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And voiceovers now are oftentimes done by actors and actresses,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: which never before occurred. It always used to be the specialist.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Now you have a wide variety of them. So who
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: do you think could do that kind of a voice?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: What do you think, Larry?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of comedians who do voices, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I can't think of one now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Robin Williams wouldn't do it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Didn't Mel Blanc do not just Pugs Money, but also
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Emma Fudd?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: He did all of them. He did all those voices,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and so did this guy. But Malza did the same thing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Multiple voices. That's incredible.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: That's almost like as many personalities as Sybil had. You
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: have to have a different personality for each and every voice.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd. What was the Foghorn Leghorn? Man,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I miss those cartoons. I used to watch them all
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the time. Now let's get some talk back. We got
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: one about El-Sayed.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Hey, Larry, the Abdul El-Sayed anti-Semitic ad run in Michigan
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: needs to be covered. He needs to be outed. He's
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: an anti-Semite. He's a nasty person, in the words of
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: We'll be talking about that a little bit later on. No,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that's on our list for today. You are absolutely correct.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: He's distancing himself like Susan Collins did to that RNC ad.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to play both of them because it's now
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: getting so dirty that when the dirt is thrown by
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: your own side to a pack.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. I had no idea. Oh, yes, you did. Oh, yes,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you did. Yeah, and listen, here's the funny thing. I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: think El-Sayed did.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I think El-Sayed's just a liar and has lied about
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: his whole life and is trying to slither his way
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: into the Senate. Susan Collins, there's something about Susan Collins.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: When she says I didn't hear it, I believe Susan Collins.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: There's something incredibly believable about her because she's not one
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: of those politicians and never has been one.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Let me just finish.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: She has never been a politician that just votes with
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the rest of the party.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: She knows. How do you know? How do you know?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Because they all know what a PAC does. I know
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: all about PACs. I know how they operate. Oh, you do?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, tell me. How do PACs operate? Did I run
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: for office? You did. Okay, Larry, you're the expert on
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: PACs now, too. Excuse me, you're the experts on subways,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: on streets, on Republicans. I've covered politics longer than you've
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: been involved in politics.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Larry, there is no freaking way that you know more
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: about PACs than Curtis Sliwa does.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: They all know what the PAC does because it's run
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: by their friends. Okay, all right.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: If you knew that much about PACs, you probably would
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: have done better in the election, right?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't have a PAC.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But I understood how everybody else had a PAC. How
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: do you know about them? Do you know about them
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the same way I do? Oh, Susan Collins is not corrupt.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: So wait a second. They're all corrupt. No, no, time out.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I don't trust any politicians, Larry.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Time out.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You didn't even use a PAC, and you're the expert.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: And so I've actually covered candidates that have used PACs
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and have told me the money.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: You are so freaking naive that you believe Susan Collins
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: had no idea what the RNC was doing on her behalf.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I think you don't believe her because she's a Republican.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And that's the honest to God truth. What are you
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: talking about?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: It's constant. It is constant. Can I qualify this again, Larry?
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Constant.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I do not trust any politicians. It doesn't seem that way. Democrats, Republicans, MAGA,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: or DSA. Well, I'd love to hear you blasting the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Democrats as well. No politicians do I trust, Larry. Obama,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you love.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Now let's get to Daria Albinger. I'm sorry we were
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: fighting on your birthday, Daria.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: We shouldn't. We'll stop right now. Happy birthday. Thank you, guys.
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: I do appreciate it. Good to be with my family
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: this morning as I start a new trip around the sun.
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: Sunny and cooler today. We'll see a high of 59 degrees.
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: A person of interest is in custody in connection with
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: the discovery of a woman's body in a shallow grave
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: in Queens over the weekend.
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: Police say 35-year-old Serafina Pereira had been reported missing days
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: before her decomposing body was discovered in a shallow grave
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: in Rockaway Community Park.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: She suffered a bullet wound to her head, neck, and torso.
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: Pereira was a mother of four and was believed to
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: be going through a breakup with the father of her
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: youngest two children at the time of her death. Police
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: tracked down an unidentified man for questioning. In New York,
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: President Trump says the administration will pay a million dollars
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: to anyone who reports voter fraud, which results in an
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: arrest and conviction. It's the latest financial offer from the president,
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: who also promised to give every adult American $ 5, 000 if
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: Republicans hold on to Congress after the midterms. The president
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: will campaign today in Texas for state's Attorney General Ken Paxton.
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: The Republican is locked in a tight battle.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: For the U.S.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: Senate with Democrat James Tallarico. Well, Election Day here is
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: a week away, but they're going to the polls today
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: in Israel to choose a prime minister.
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: Trump will be closely watching today's election in Israel. He's
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It's Israel's first election since
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: the war in Gaza, and polls have shown Netanyahu's coalition trailing.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: That's ABC's Lionel Moise. The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: meets today, and by the time they adjourn tomorrow, they
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: are expected to say that they're going to leave interest
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: rates unchanged. ahead of the midterms. An honor for Mets
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: shortstop Francisco Lindor. He's been named this year's Roberto Clemente
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: Award winner. It recognizes his charitable work in Puerto Rico, Florida,
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: and here in New York. The Rangers lost to Los
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: Angeles 6-3. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Microsoft reported record profits, yet they are now doing buyouts
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: for 30% of their personnel who have good-paying jobs. Why?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Because of artificial intelligence. Up next.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie, it's roller derby now. The big AI
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: companies are muscling one another.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Another.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: The lead story today is Anthropic. They made last year
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: $ 16 billion. It's only five years they've been in business,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: but they reported a loss of $ 81 billion. But they
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: need the AI data filing centers, so they're going to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: file for an IPO on Wall Street, sell their stock.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: They're expected to raise $ 2 trillion, which is more than
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk recently raised. He raised close to $ 1 trillion.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: So it is the AI money race. And while all
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of this was transpiring, one of the biggies, you have
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Anthropic AI, you have Meta, you have Elon Musk, and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you have Microsoft. Now, Microsoft is no longer run by
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates. even though you see interview after interview with him,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and he speaks about the pluses and minuses of artificial intelligence,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: but he's not the day-to-day CEO. Well, they announced yesterday
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: buyouts for 60,000 employees in addition to 9,000 that they
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: offered buyouts to January 1st. That is like 30% of
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: their workforce is human beings that they no longer need.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: They can replace them with AI. But the real reason
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: is even though they have reported record amounts of money
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that have been made in the last year, 225, they
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: made 280 billion. This year, they're on track to make 18%
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: more than last year with the savings from the jobs
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that human beings have. And obviously, it costs less to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: use AI. They're going to pour all that money and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: more into building what is the real race, the AI,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence data filing centers. Now, I thought many of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the CEOs promised us. They said, you know, okay, you're
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: going to lose jobs, but you're going to even get
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: better paying jobs. 30% of the workforce at Microsoft said,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: In eight weeks, you know, they'll get eight weeks of
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: pay and then that's it. They have to accept the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: payout or they'll be fired. And you say to yourself,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and we know this is just the first to come.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: There'll probably be many other companies doing likewise because AI
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: is replacing the workforce.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: It's already been happening. It's happened the last couple of
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: years now. This might be the biggest announced layoff, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: it's not the only announced layoff. And my son was
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: laid off because of AI. Because he was doing videos,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: internet videos, and they don't need them anymore. They have
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: AI doing that now. And he's still been looking for
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: another job. So there are a lot of professions that
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: are just going by the wayside. I'll give you some numbers.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: In 2.26 so far, 117,000 jobs have been lost to AI.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: And the estimate is that it will at least be
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: 10,000 jobs a month that will go away. And not
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: only jobs, entire positions, roles. I mean, the same role
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: like the video person at a company that does their videos,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: that person could go in every company. So the estimate
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: for next year.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: There's 117,000 this year.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: The estimate for next year is 250,000 next year. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: in the future, we're talking about millions of jobs globally.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: that are going to go to the wayside bay ai
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: now do i believe that the industry will catch up
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: that other jobs will be created yeah i do if
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: past is prologue because it's happened before with computers and
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: and you know the manufacturing revolution and everything that has
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: come along has always created other jobs along with it
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: do i think we're going to catch up that quickly
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: no There's going to be a period where there's going
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: to be some suffering because of this, because it's too
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: many jobs and it's too fast. So Microsoft, although it's
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: the biggest and it's the latest example, isn't the only example.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And I'm sorry to say it's not going to be
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the last.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: The real problem is, is that as I speak in
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: many universities, men and women who have spent four years
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and then two years graduate study, they're putting in papers
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: for jobs and they're being told no jobs, no jobs,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: no jobs. So we basically sold a generation on the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: fact that if you work hard, you study hard, you
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: do well in school, you go to graduate school, you
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: get a profession that is in demand, not just coders,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: but other individuals that you can live the American dream.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And now they're realizing that They can't even get a job.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: They're going to have to be a barista at Starbucks.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So the anger is starting to build. And then you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: have Elon Musk out there saying, don't worry about it.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: There'll be universal income. Gee, that sounds like socialism and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: communism to me. What do you mean universal income?
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Nobody will have to work. You stay at home.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the machines, the robots, AI will do all
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the work and you'll live a better life than you're
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: living now.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I've heard this doom and gloom a million times, and
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: it's always come back with other jobs. I'll tell you
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: what my son was told by some people in the industry.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: They said to him, learn AI. Now, you don't have
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: to learn AI to the point where you are one
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: of the people that is manufacturing AI or putting out
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: AI or testing AI. All you have to do is
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: know it. And online, this is some good advice because
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: this is what my son has done. Online, there are
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: some degrees you can get online on AI. Google has one.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Apple has one. All of these people will teach you
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: AI online. And all you need to know to either
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: keep your job or get a job is how to
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: use AI for the job you already know about. So
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: that basis of knowledge is important.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: But using AI.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: To then do your job is equally as important. So
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: if people that are getting jobs right now put AI
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: right on their resume, the fact that they are Google
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: certified or the fact that they're Apple certified for AI
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: is really important right now.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: You have failed the test, Larry. Okay. We have talked
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: about Microsoft.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: AI and all the big AI companies now as they
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: ran through the list. Anthropic AI, Meta Microsoft, and Elon Musk.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You keep referring it to as artificial intelligence.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not changing. I'm sorry. The president has said, what
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: does SI mean again?
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: What does SI mean?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Super intelligence. You didn't mention that once. No, no, no, no.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: SI is still Sports Illustrated to me. You will not
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: be invited to the White House anytime soon. I didn't
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: think it was going to happen anyway.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: When we come back, New Jersey drivers, some of the
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: worst in the country?
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Nah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Plus, we have Jimmy Fallon coming up at 8.35. But first,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I want to rave to you about LifeVac once again,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: because every single week, you look at Google, you look
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: at news stories from across the country, and LifeVac has
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: saved another life. You know how quickly choking can turn
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: into a real emergency. At first, you think that somebody's okay.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: You've probably seen this in your own life. Somebody's okay.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: And then you realize this is something serious. The Heimlich
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: often works. Patting someone on the back often works. Just
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: coughing it up often works. It doesn't always work. And
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: that's why I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: is the first and only FDA authorized suction anti-choking device
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: to be used for second line treatment when those recommended
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: protocols I just told you about have been followed without success.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: LifeVac has helped save.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: 6,500 lives worldwide. Think about that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: These are real people we're talking about, real families, real
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby, that
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: makes all the difference in the world. So Go to
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: lifevac.net and learn more about it because you really probably
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: should have one in your house. That's lifevac.net. Visit lifevac.net
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: and see how you can be ready when it counts.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So there's a list out put out by LendingTree of
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: who has the worst drivers in the country. And the
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: worst is North Dakota. Why would they have the worst
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: drivers in the country? It goes by accident rates per person.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: And second is New Jersey. Second overall is New Jersey.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: New York, by the way, out of 51 states and
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: the District of Columbia, is 44th. So they rank New
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: York as having some of the safest drivers in the country.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, on the other hand, has some, I'm not
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: going to say worst, but most dangerous drivers in the country.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: And I will tell you something. New Jersey, everybody's crammed together,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and everybody uses their roads. The New Jersey Turnpike is
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: one of the most traveled roads in the country. Everybody
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: seems to be on that at all times, and they
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: have the Garden State Parkway. So I will just say,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: when you cram that many people, it's the most congested
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: state in the country, that many people onto very popular roads,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: and then you throw in toll booths, and you throw
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: in the Lincoln Tunnel, and you throw in the construction,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make the excuse for New Jersey as
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: to why they get into accidents. But let me add
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: this to the equation. They are near the bottoms When
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: it comes to fatal accidents in the country. So how
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: about that? They know how to get into an accident
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: without getting killed.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, they should put it on the license plate.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: We know how to get into an accident without being killed.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Well, everybody who's ever driven in New Jersey knows about
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: the Jersey slide. And I'm telling you, if you don't,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: if you haven't witnessed it, it is something, it's.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: A skill set.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: So you could be all the way in the left lane.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: Your exit could be coming up in maybe 50 feet.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: And somehow they can move over four lanes of traffic
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: and get to that exit and zoom right off.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: And that's where I've seen accidents happen, honestly.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: The Jersey Slide, it's a scary thing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Many of the accidents in New Jersey are completely out
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: of frustration because you get in this gridlock and especially
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: like you went through today when you're in gridlock and
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you got to get somewhere, you got to get to
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: your job. And you're on the helix, and you're trying
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: to cut around, you're trying to do something, and you
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: get into a fender bender. I looked at AI, by
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: the way, to look up Jersey drivers. This is what
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: AI says. New Jersey drivers are widely viewed as aggressive, impatient.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: And fast-paced.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: I would say yes to all that.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Those studies and polls show a split between high local
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: traffic stress and relatively strong fatal crash safety. They're one
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: of the safest states when it comes to fatal crashes.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: So we know how to be aggressive.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: You know how to get into an accident and not
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: get hurt or hurt somebody else.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: My dad, we used to have to pick up from
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the Port of Philadelphia, Port of Baltimore, and bring him
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: home for a few days, three days in the 60s.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So he would always say to my mom... And he'd
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: bring the kids along in the 54 Ford station wagon,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: old Betsy with the wood panels and the white wall
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: of time.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And he'd say, Fran, I'm driving down the New Jersey
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Turnpike because it's the Blue Bozos. Remember when the plates... Well, blue,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: they call them the blue bozos. He goes, it's like
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: demolition derby. I had no idea. I was just a kid.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: And he said, now you can drive back, obviously, because
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: he's on the ship. But go slow. Be careful. Stop
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: at those rest stops if the traffic is getting too crazy.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And he would always say, beware of the blue bozos.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I said, bozo the clown? No, he kept referring to
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the blue bozos from the blue license plates.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Well, I saw a blue bozo this morning, although it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: not blue anymore.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: This guy was going so fast, and he was cutting
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: in and out of lanes. And all I kept thinking,
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: I'm like, dude, you're going to be stuck in the
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: same traffic in about a half a mile the rest
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: of us are.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: But he'll be ahead of you. If I can just
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: get ahead of that guy, that's all I want to do.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: No, you know what it says here? It says that
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Jersey drivers are stuck. On an average of 85 hours
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: a year sitting in gridlock.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: This is the reason there's so many accidents. It's all
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: fender benders. That's what it is. That's why there's not
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of fatal accidents. They can't go fast enough
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: to get into a fatal accident. They're just bumping into
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: each other.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: That's all it is. It's bumper cars. It's like bumper cars.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Well, as we're talking about this, I see the talkbacks
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: flying in. So they're either sitting in traffic and having
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: nothing else to do, so they're going to leave us
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: a talk back right now.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: But, you know, just go to the iHeartRadio app and
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: search WOR.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Which also means they're good and angry.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Well, Donald Trump is on that marathon tour trying to
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: save Senate and House seats. And with him, much of
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: the way, is John Decker, WOR White House correspondent. He's
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: coming up after the 7 o'clock news.
