- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, it's Veterans Day, and we're all in the house today.
- 0:05Speaker 1: And I just want to bifurcate this, if I can,
- 0:09Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie, because Veterans Day, unlike Memorial Day, how
- 0:13Speaker 1: many times have you heard people say, oh, happy Memorial Day?
- 0:16Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Schmuck putts. Oh, God. Schmendrick.
- 0:21Speaker 1: It's a day we honor our dead. Memorial Day. Honor
- 0:24Speaker 1: the dead. Those who actually served in combat.
- 0:28Speaker 3: You honor them.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Veterans Day is for anyone who ever served, wartime, peacetime,
- 0:35Speaker 1: National Guard, anybody who had any kind of military involvement.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And it's celebrated differently in different parts of the country. So,
- 0:45Speaker 1: for instance, I found out that in Wisconsin, it's the
- 0:49Speaker 1: only state that is not an official paid holiday for
- 0:52Speaker 1: government employees. And you would say, gee, I wonder why, Wisconsin.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You know, that goes from left to right. That's the
- 0:58Speaker 1: one state politically that always vacillates. But here in New
- 1:02Speaker 1: York City, I can speak directly to it and actually
- 1:06Speaker 1: to New Jersey. I prefer the New Jersey way in
- 1:08Speaker 1: many of the areas of the state. New York City,
- 1:13Speaker 1: all the kids are off from school. Are they learning
- 1:16Speaker 1: about Veterans and Veterans Day? So what I did yesterday, Larry,
- 1:21Speaker 1: is I went to the Gray Pupaya. This is right
- 1:25Speaker 1: on 72nd and Broadway where a lot of the kids
- 1:27Speaker 1: come after high school because they get a few dogs,
- 1:30Speaker 1: you know, for less than $ 10 and something to wash
- 1:34Speaker 1: it down with. And they stand outside, and these were
- 1:37Speaker 1: pretty bright kids. I said, they talk about Veterans Day
- 1:41Speaker 1: this week at all, you know, Monday or Tuesday, you know,
- 1:43Speaker 1: leading up to the holiday?
- 1:45Speaker 4: No.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Do you know what Veterans Day is? They sort of flummoxed.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Is there any intent to discuss Veterans Day, do you think?
- 1:55Speaker 1: Like in history class, you have current events. Naturally, when
- 1:59Speaker 1: I brought up current events, they said to me exactly
- 2:01Speaker 1: what my sons have said to me who go to
- 2:03Speaker 1: public schools, that they don't discuss current events because it
- 2:07Speaker 1: might upset some people. So if we have a Veterans
- 2:12Speaker 1: Day holiday where school is out, How is that benefiting
- 2:18Speaker 1: a new generation to understand what Veterans Day is, as
- 2:21Speaker 1: opposed to what I've seen and I participated in many
- 2:24Speaker 1: years ago in New Jersey, some of the smaller towns,
- 2:28Speaker 1: where you go to school on Veterans Day and they
- 2:30Speaker 1: dedicate the whole curriculum to veterans visiting, coming in, speaking
- 2:34Speaker 1: in the assembly, educating the youngsters and even the teachers
- 2:38Speaker 1: and the teacher's aides into their service and the history.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Veterans Day. So I prefer the New Jersey way. I
- 2:46Speaker 1: know the big cities there, they don't do it. Newark, Elizabeth, Patterson,
- 2:51Speaker 1: I think Trenton, they follow, you know, New York City.
- 2:54Speaker 1: But they're the ones who probably need it the most,
- 2:56Speaker 1: those kids in the inner city.
- 2:58Speaker 3: But you can do both. You can talk about Veterans Day.
- 3:03Speaker 3: You can honor veterans the day before and then have
- 3:07Speaker 3: off on that day. You can say, this is why
- 3:10Speaker 3: you're going to have off tomorrow. You can bring a
- 3:12Speaker 3: veteran in. I know they'd love to come in and
- 3:15Speaker 3: talk about their service. And that's the way you should
- 3:19Speaker 3: do it. Because the federal government and the states, they
- 3:23Speaker 3: take off. All the government buildings, they're off. But they
- 3:27Speaker 3: don't insist that everybody else take off. And the horrible
- 3:32Speaker 3: part about it, the worst part about it, if you
- 3:35Speaker 3: have a company... And you have a veteran showing up
- 3:39Speaker 3: to work today. You didn't give him the day off
- 3:42Speaker 3: for all that he potentially did for us or was
- 3:46Speaker 3: willing to do for us. Shame on you. Every veteran
- 3:50Speaker 3: should be, if they don't have a state law, if
- 3:54Speaker 3: they don't make it so that everybody's off, then you
- 3:59Speaker 3: should give the veterans in your department the day off.
- 4:02Speaker 3: And if you didn't do it this year, I understand.
- 4:04Speaker 3: You probably weren't thinking about it. Do it next year.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Just everybody that served in your office, everybody that served
- 4:12Speaker 3: in your company, just call them in and say, you
- 4:15Speaker 3: know what, take tomorrow off. Because why? If you're going
- 4:19Speaker 3: to have this special day to honor veterans, do something
- 4:24Speaker 3: for the veterans. Do something for the people that served.
- 4:28Speaker 3: About one and a half percent of the people actually
- 4:31Speaker 3: protect this country. And God bless them. God bless that
- 4:36Speaker 3: they're there standing fortress against anything that may happen to
- 4:40Speaker 3: this country. They deserve something. Good litmus test. Tomorrow, Larry,
- 4:45Speaker 3: there'll be a vote in the New York City Council,
- 4:48Speaker 3: which hates the military. They've given millions of dollars to
- 4:52Speaker 3: illegal aliens. They've given bupkis.
- 4:54Speaker 1: They've given hugats to veterans. So Frank Murano, who's a
- 4:58Speaker 1: city council person from South Shore of Staten Island, Republican conservative,
- 5:02Speaker 1: has a bill that'll be voted on the floor. if
- 5:05Speaker 1: you are a disabled veteran, you should not have to
- 5:08Speaker 1: pay property taxes in New York City.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Makes sense, right?
- 5:12Speaker 5: Right.
- 5:13Speaker 3: That's great. That's a great law.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Disabled, too. If you're able, you know, you got to
- 5:18Speaker 1: pay property tax. So it's bifurcated the proposed law. I'm
- 5:23Speaker 1: going to try to be in city council chambers to
- 5:26Speaker 1: name and shame any of those who actually vote against this.
- 5:30Speaker 1: You would think, What's your opposition to this? Disabled veterans
- 5:35Speaker 1: not having them pay New York City property tax?
- 5:37Speaker 3: Makes sense to me.
- 5:38Speaker 1: But there are going to be some in that city
- 5:39Speaker 1: council who are going to say absolutely a thousand times no.
- 5:42Speaker 3: And there's small things you can do today, by the way,
- 5:45Speaker 3: to make veterans feel special. If you know somebody in
- 5:47Speaker 3: your neighborhood or your family or you know somebody at
- 5:50Speaker 3: work that is a veteran, just say thank you. Just
- 5:54Speaker 3: thank you for being there, even if you didn't go
- 5:57Speaker 3: to war just in case. that you were there to
- 6:00Speaker 3: serve us. And you know what else we'd love? We
- 6:02Speaker 3: would love to hear from you, not only about what
- 6:04Speaker 3: we're talking about today, what should be done for Veterans Day,
- 6:09Speaker 3: but also if you served, we would love to hear
- 6:12Speaker 3: your story. So go ahead and leave us a talk back.
- 6:15Speaker 3: It's very easy to do. You go to the iHeartRadio
- 6:18Speaker 3: app and leave us that talk back. Say anything you
- 6:21Speaker 3: want to say, especially if you're a veteran. You could
- 6:23Speaker 3: win a Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt,
- 6:26Speaker 3: which is going to be awarded every day to our
- 6:28Speaker 3: favorite talk back of the morning. And while you're on
- 6:31Speaker 3: the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset
- 6:34Speaker 3: for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talk back of
- 6:39Speaker 3: the week takes home a C-Crane radio. Now, we don't
- 6:43Speaker 3: do enough on Veterans Day, and I'm glad we're talking
- 6:47Speaker 3: about this today because municipalities that don't do enough... municipalities
- 6:53Speaker 3: where the city council and the mayor and all the
- 6:57Speaker 3: administrators are taking off, but they don't have it so
- 7:01Speaker 3: the schools take off, shame on you. If you don't
- 7:04Speaker 3: have a parade in your town, if you don't have
- 7:07Speaker 3: some type of ceremony, praising veterans, remembering veterans, taking the
- 7:13Speaker 3: veterans in your town and giving them a day and
- 7:15Speaker 3: applauding for them, shame on you.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Now, Natalie, you're out there in traditional New Jersey. What's
- 7:22Speaker 1: it been like in the school systems there? Because in
- 7:24Speaker 1: New York City, public Catholic schools, charter schools, they do
- 7:28Speaker 1: not have discussion of Veterans Day either before, actually the
- 7:32Speaker 1: day of, they're off, or after.
- 7:34Speaker 6: Right.
- 7:34Speaker 7: You know, I believe my kids went to school on
- 7:38Speaker 7: Veterans Day. It's been a while since they were in
- 7:40Speaker 7: the public school system.
- 7:42Speaker 3: But I do remember.
- 7:43Speaker 7: They always had one of those veterans assemblies.
- 7:46Speaker 1: And it was so nice.
- 7:47Speaker 7: It was so personal because they asked anybody in the school,
- 7:50Speaker 7: if they had a veteran in their life, to invite
- 7:52Speaker 7: them to come to the assembly. And then they would
- 7:54Speaker 7: sit and they would talk to the kids. And I
- 7:57Speaker 7: remember my kids always knew, oh, you know, so-and-so's grandpa,
- 8:01Speaker 7: he was in, you know.
- 8:02Speaker 4: The war.
- 8:02Speaker 7: And they all knew them. And they, you know, it
- 8:06Speaker 7: was something special.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. That's wonderful. Yeah. Except that we need
- 8:11Speaker 3: to do more. I mean, I understand that. And everybody
- 8:14Speaker 3: tries to do something just to make up for the
- 8:16Speaker 3: fact that they're not doing enough. But this should be
- 8:19Speaker 3: a day like we should have parades. We should be
- 8:23Speaker 3: watching the TV at nine o'clock and watching a parade.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I would have one caveat to that, whether it's a
- 8:28Speaker 1: wreath laying or a parade, depending on the size of
- 8:31Speaker 1: the community. Politicians haven't served. They shouldn't be there. The
- 8:36Speaker 1: parade should be for veterans. I've been in enough of
- 8:38Speaker 1: these to see like half the people in the parade
- 8:42Speaker 1: have never served anything. It's like, how about a parade
- 8:46Speaker 1: for the veterans, whether they served in peacetime?
- 8:48Speaker 3: And then the politicians always in front.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Many of them who vote against veteran benefits and taking
- 8:56Speaker 1: care of veterans and taking positions that are anti-military. Why
- 9:01Speaker 1: would you be in the freaking parade? Just stay home.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I don't understand at all. And, you know, one of
- 9:08Speaker 3: the reasons I think the veterans aren't treated as well
- 9:11Speaker 3: as they should be is because, and this is the
- 9:13Speaker 3: most abhorrent reason in the world, it's because they're not
- 9:18Speaker 3: enough of a voting bloc. There's not enough of them
- 9:21Speaker 3: to have power. They're willing to serve our country. They're
- 9:24Speaker 3: willing to sacrifice their lives for our country. But guess what?
- 9:28Speaker 3: There's just not enough of you. So we don't really
- 9:31Speaker 3: have to pay attention. Now, two things to look at today.
- 9:35Speaker 3: The mayor, I'm sure, has been invited, Zoran Mandami, to
- 9:39Speaker 3: the wreath laying that begins the parade in lower Manhattan.
- 9:43Speaker 3: What will he say if he speaks?
- 9:46Speaker 1: And then the president of the United States, the tradition
- 9:49Speaker 1: of the presidency is they go to Arlington National Cemetery
- 9:52Speaker 1: and they lay a wreath. He's going with his wife, Melania.
- 9:56Speaker 1: But he is aware of a huge statue that was
- 10:00Speaker 1: erected in the National Mall. It's called the Foot Soldier,
- 10:03Speaker 1: painted in all gold. It talks about his five deferments
- 10:08Speaker 1: that he was granted during the Vietnam War. I hope,
- 10:11Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't bring up the fact if he
- 10:16Speaker 1: is making statements at the Arlington National Cemetery today, that
- 10:20Speaker 1: he could have ended the Vietnam War in a week.
- 10:23Speaker 3: No, he's not. You love bringing that up, but no,
- 10:26Speaker 3: he's not going to, obviously.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I didn't hear any Republicans criticizing him for that. That
- 10:30Speaker 1: was the dumbest, most stupid thing out of the many
- 10:34Speaker 1: stupid things that he said.
- 10:35Speaker 3: Right, keep going.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And the crowd behind him, yay! All the MAGA Colts.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Kool-Aid drinkers. So this, you bringing this up today is
- 10:43Speaker 3: tainting Veterans Day. No, it's not.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
- 10:45Speaker 3: It's silly. It's just silly. Just keep your eye on
- 10:48Speaker 3: the ball. And don't go into your derangement syndrome. I
- 10:54Speaker 3: don't think he's going to talk. I think he's going
- 10:56Speaker 3: to lay the wreath and he's going to leave. I see.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Because he's done that in the past. And if he talks.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Because he may be answering questions. He wouldn't say anything
- 11:03Speaker 3: about the Vietnam War. It's just, it's silly. It's silly
- 11:05Speaker 3: that you said that he tweeted it last night.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Would you agree it was silly that he said that?
- 11:09Speaker 1: That he could end the Vietnam War in one week?
- 11:12Speaker 3: I have learned to not, I've learned just to pay
- 11:15Speaker 3: attention to what Donald Trump does. Because, why?
- 11:18Speaker 5: Why?
- 11:19Speaker 3: Because it doesn't mean anything. That didn't mean anything. It
- 11:22Speaker 3: didn't mean a thing. It didn't mean a thing except
- 11:25Speaker 3: to people that don't like him like you.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And the Ukraine war in a day when he's elected, right?
- 11:30Speaker 3: You'll talk about that forever. Drink the Kool-Aid, Larry. No,
- 11:33Speaker 3: I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid. I can criticize what he does.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Not what he says. What he tweets. He said it, Larry.
- 11:40Speaker 3: It's silly. At the rally in Iowa before all of
- 11:43Speaker 3: his Kool-Aid drinking MAGA supporters.
- 11:47Speaker 8: Okay.
- 11:47Speaker 3: All right. Well, that's the biggest story of the week.
- 11:49Speaker 5: All right. All right, Larry.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Oh, my God. You don't listen to anything that the
- 11:53Speaker 3: president says.
- 11:53Speaker 1: That is the biggest story of the week. Only what
- 11:55Speaker 1: he does.
- 11:56Speaker 3: It is so small in comparison to what's going on.
- 11:59Speaker 3: You don't agree with that? It is so small in
- 12:02Speaker 3: comparison to what's important.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I love the fact that you said you don't pay
- 12:06Speaker 1: attention to what he says, only what he does.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Okay. Now I know. Yeah. Thank you. I learned that
- 12:12Speaker 3: a long, long time ago.
- 12:14Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Do you feel like you gained something from that? Oh,
- 12:19Speaker 3: thank you. But up next, it's a good time story.
- 12:23Speaker 1: An autistic boy who could have perished, saved by a
- 12:27Speaker 1: community and the police, as you know, with autism, they're
- 12:30Speaker 1: attracted to the water. And he may have been moments
- 12:33Speaker 1: away from perishing. Boy, you're going to feel great about
- 12:36Speaker 1: this story.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Well, we're just learning about this search in Totawa, New Jersey,
- 12:43Speaker 3: and it was a frantic search for a six-year-old nonverbal
- 12:50Speaker 3: boy with autism, only identified as Jacob, who climbed out
- 12:55Speaker 3: of his bedroom window and then just was wandering around
- 13:01Speaker 3: the neighborhood. Apparently, he was knocking on doors and then
- 13:05Speaker 3: running away before people people could answer. And, you know,
- 13:10Speaker 3: his parents were frantic. They called the local police, and
- 13:14Speaker 3: then the search was on, and they were, the whole neighborhood,
- 13:18Speaker 3: a lot of the people in Totawa got involved in this,
- 13:21Speaker 3: trying to find this little boy. The police officers even
- 13:25Speaker 3: said at one point, and they seemed emotional, they said, look,
- 13:28Speaker 3: we're all parents. We're all parents. We all came together.
- 13:31Speaker 3: This is a tight community, and so everybody is involved
- 13:36Speaker 3: in this. And then somebody got the idea, maybe he
- 13:40Speaker 3: was attracted to the river. And immediately they were fearful
- 13:46Speaker 3: because it's the Passaic River. And a little boy, a
- 13:49Speaker 3: six-year-old boy can drown in that. And as they got
- 13:52Speaker 3: closer and they got closer, they saw a slide mark
- 13:58Speaker 3: that he had slid down. And they found him clinging
- 14:02Speaker 3: to a branch in the water. that he had slid
- 14:06Speaker 3: down the mud. And they don't know how long he
- 14:08Speaker 3: was there, but again, he's nonverbal, he's autistic. And the
- 14:12Speaker 3: police immediately started a human chain because they didn't want
- 14:16Speaker 3: to fall on the river either. And they save this
- 14:19Speaker 3: little boy. And patrolman Fina Montrania put it well.
- 14:25Speaker 9: Completely drenched from head to toe, full of mud, what
- 14:30Speaker 9: appeared to be vomit on his chest. I sat with
- 14:32Speaker 9: him and I was able to comfort him and clean
- 14:35Speaker 9: him up a little bit as much as I could.
- 14:36Speaker 9: I have some sensory toys in my duty bag for
- 14:39Speaker 9: these cases.
- 14:40Speaker 10: I was able to give him some toys.
- 14:42Speaker 3: She had sensory toys in her patrol car just in case,
- 14:48Speaker 3: just in case she was ever with a child that
- 14:50Speaker 3: was that upset to give them something to do to
- 14:53Speaker 3: take their mind off. how horrible it is.
- 14:55Speaker 1: And autism, one of the factors is they're attracted to water.
- 15:00Speaker 1: So that if they do get away from any supervision,
- 15:04Speaker 1: they'll go to the closest body of water. And many
- 15:06Speaker 1: of them are found to have drowned because of that.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Yeah, luckily. Great story.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Great story.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Yeah, luckily this boy was able to grab onto a branch.
- 15:15Speaker 3: We have a lot of people that want to talk
- 15:17Speaker 3: about Veterans Day.
- 15:19Speaker 7: I don't believe that any veteran that has been in
- 15:23Speaker 7: battle should have to pay truly any kind of tax.
- 15:29Speaker 6: They put their butts on the line, their lives.
- 15:33Speaker 11: And the least we can do is that.
- 15:37Speaker 12: They deserve a lot more.
- 15:39Speaker 11: They deserve everything.
- 15:41Speaker 13: And really, I think it's really disgraceful.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what? It's a great thought, and it
- 15:47Speaker 3: would increase enrollment, too. People would join up.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Good litmus test tomorrow. City Council, Frank Marano's bill. so
- 15:54Speaker 1: that the infirm veterans don't have to pay their property taxes,
- 15:59Speaker 1: residents of New York City.
- 16:00Speaker 3: I have a feeling that may not pass.
- 16:04Speaker 5: Larry Curtis, on this Veterans Day, my family is remembering
- 16:10Speaker 5: the Honorary Grand Marshal of the 2026 Throgs Neck Veterans
- 16:16Speaker 5: Day Parade that was held this past Sunday. Donald A.
- 16:20Speaker 5: Mahoney was a hero who served the Vietnam and passed
- 16:25Speaker 5: earlier this last year.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Well, thanks for calling in and telling us about him
- 16:30Speaker 3: and remembering him.
- 16:31Speaker 6: I kind of finally probably one thing I agree with Mr.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Menti about giving the veterans day off if.
- 16:38Speaker 14: They don't have it.
- 16:39Speaker 3: My question is, why haven't why didn't they do that
- 16:42Speaker 3: from the very beginning? Only the veterans should have the
- 16:46Speaker 3: day off.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Only them.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Not everybody else that didn't fight or didn't, you know,
- 16:53Speaker 3: serve in our country. They are the ones that should
- 16:55Speaker 3: have the day off. We agree. The Mr. Menti guy.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Are there bells and whistles going off?
- 17:02Speaker 7: Confetti is coming down from the studio.
- 17:04Speaker 3: This is a miracle. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Let's get to Daria Alvinger with the 630 News.
- 17:13Speaker 5: Morning, guys.
- 17:13Speaker 15: Sunny today with a high of 62 degrees. And then
- 17:16Speaker 15: the forecast takes a big change in the coming days.
- 17:19Speaker 15: It is Veterans Day today, and we are honoring those
- 17:21Speaker 15: who served with events across the country. The big parade
- 17:24Speaker 15: stepping off later today from Madison Square Park. Mayor Milam
- 17:27Speaker 15: Donnie will not be in the parade. Instead, he's going
- 17:29Speaker 15: to serve meals in the Bronx to vets. Syed Musahib
- 17:33Speaker 15: is now charged with murder and the fatal stabbing of
- 17:35Speaker 15: a Brooklyn jogger, a grand jury handing up its indictment. Meanwhile,
- 17:39Speaker 15: there is a wake today for the jogger.
- 17:41Speaker 16: 28-year-old Katie Suarez was running near Shore Parkway on October
- 17:44Speaker 16: 30th when she was allegedly attacked by 27-year-old Syed Mohassib,
- 17:49Speaker 16: who has been indicted on a top count of second-degree murder.
- 17:52Speaker 16: Court documents show Mohassib told detectives he went to the
- 17:55Speaker 16: bike path carrying a knife. because he thought people were
- 17:58Speaker 16: going to kill his family. The case leaves parents and
- 18:01Speaker 16: city officials with questions about how he was able to
- 18:03Speaker 16: work in a school. Suarez's family remembers her as a
- 18:06Speaker 16: beautiful soul with a full heart of love, whose kindness

- 18:11Speaker 3: Natalie Migliori, WOR News.
- 18:14Speaker 15: A week after that stinging defeat in the midterms, House
- 18:17Speaker 15: Republicans came together to table plans to impeach Defense Secretary
- 18:21Speaker 15: Pete Hegseth.
- 18:21Speaker 3: The motion is adopted.
- 18:25Speaker 17: Ahead of the vote, Hegseth, defiant, going before cameras, attacking
- 18:29Speaker 17: the effort to impeach him as slander and sabotage.
- 18:32Speaker 18: It's a farce and it's a stunt. And everybody... knows it.
- 18:37Speaker 17: The articles of impeachment put forward by Republican Thomas Massey.
- 18:41Speaker 17: In them, Hegseth accused of illegally launching the war with Iran,
- 18:45Speaker 17: endangering American troops, and illegally killing civilians in boat strikes
- 18:49Speaker 17: against alleged drug smugglers in the waters off the U.S.
- 18:52Speaker 15: ABC's Alex Stone. Republicans will be the minority in the
- 18:56Speaker 15: 120th Congress, and yesterday they elected their new leadership. Ohio's
- 19:00Speaker 15: Jim Jordan will be the House minority leader and the
- 19:02Speaker 15: current Senate majority leader. South Dakota's John Thune will serve
- 19:06Speaker 15: as the chamber's minority leader. Pope Leo visits Peru today.
- 19:09Speaker 15: It's the last leg on his 12-day Latin American tour.
- 19:12Speaker 15: Knicks win, Devils lose. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once.
- 19:16Speaker 15: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Thank you, Daria.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Add another parade to the many parades that the mayor
- 19:22Speaker 1: will not attend. He will not be at the Veterans
- 19:24Speaker 1: Day parade. But up next, we're going to talk the
- 19:27Speaker 1: new minority leader of the House, Jim Jordan, without his
- 19:31Speaker 1: jacket on. Soon, you rang, will remain the minority leader
- 19:36Speaker 1: now of the U.S.
- 19:37Speaker 5: Senate.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Next week, it's Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer's audition, but some
- 19:42Speaker 1: are already rumbling that one or both should not be
- 19:46Speaker 1: in their leadership.
- 19:47Speaker 3: All up next. it wasn't a slam dunk curtis jim
- 19:51Speaker 3: jordan was elected house gop leader the vote was 106
- 19:55Speaker 3: to 73 so it was certainly far from unanimous uh
- 20:01Speaker 3: the outgoing speaker voted for him thought it was a
- 20:04Speaker 3: good choice.
- 20:05Speaker 19: He's an honest broker he's a good man he's a
- 20:06Speaker 19: fighter And I think that that's the signal that is
- 20:10Speaker 19: being sent here, that they're ready.
- 20:12Speaker 3: We are ready to dig in for the fight. So
- 20:15Speaker 3: let's hear from Jordan real quick, and then I'll tell
- 20:16Speaker 3: you what I think about it. And Curtis, we'll talk
- 20:19Speaker 3: about him as the choice.
- 20:20Speaker 20: Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for
- 20:23Speaker 20: American families. When Democrats offer more government, we'll offer more freedom.
- 20:28Speaker 20: And we will bring that fight in committee, on the floor,
- 20:32Speaker 20: and on the stump every day.
- 20:34Speaker 17: Single day.
- 20:36Speaker 3: There's no question to me that with Stephen Miller now
- 20:39Speaker 3: as chief of staff and Jim Jordan as the Republican
- 20:44Speaker 3: leader in the House, they are ready for a fight.
- 20:47Speaker 3: And so they have two of the best fighters they
- 20:50Speaker 3: have out there to take on the Democrats. And then
- 20:54Speaker 3: I think Donald Trump, who is the best of them all,
- 20:58Speaker 3: Donald Trump will be able to play good cop. So
- 21:01Speaker 3: he's going to surround himself with bad cops and he's
- 21:04Speaker 3: going to try to be the good cop. Now, how
- 21:06Speaker 3: long he can be the good cop and keep silent
- 21:09Speaker 3: and let the others do the talking, that's to be determined.
- 21:13Speaker 3: But I believe that seems to be the plan. All right.
- 21:17Speaker 1: No doubt a fighter, collegiate wrestler at Ohio State University,
- 21:21Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. But will he be forced to wear his jacket?
- 21:25Speaker 1: Because in most public appearances, when he's surrounded by his
- 21:28Speaker 1: fellow congressmen and congresswoman Republicans, he's always wearing the white shirt.
- 21:32Speaker 1: In a white shirt tie, no jacket.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 21:35Speaker 3: And sometimes the tie's not all the way up to
- 21:37Speaker 3: the top. So does he have to wear the jacket?
- 21:40Speaker 1: Is there a rule, a Roberts rule of order, a
- 21:43Speaker 1: sergeant of arms in the House that tells him, Mr. Speaker,
- 21:47Speaker 1: excuse me, Mr. Minority Leader, you have to wear your jacket?
- 21:51Speaker 3: Well, he wears a jacket when he goes in because
- 21:54Speaker 3: there is a rule. You're right. There is a rule. Remember,
- 21:56Speaker 3: they changed the rule in the Senate so that Fetterman
- 21:59Speaker 3: could could walk around with his sweatshirt on. But they
- 22:02Speaker 3: didn't change the rule in the House. And now he
- 22:05Speaker 3: says he doesn't like to wear a jacket. It feels
- 22:10Speaker 3: like cumbersome, especially when he has to talk like when
- 22:13Speaker 3: he's chairman and when he's ahead of those committees. Um, he,
- 22:17Speaker 3: he wants to keep it off. So you see him
- 22:19Speaker 3: the most you ever see him is when he's a
- 22:22Speaker 3: chairman of the committee. Cause that gets covered all of
- 22:24Speaker 3: the time because he, you know, he was in the
- 22:27Speaker 3: judicial committee and, uh, he was going after, especially during
- 22:30Speaker 3: the Biden administration. He was, he was one of the
- 22:33Speaker 3: stars of the Republican party. So, yeah, I think you're
- 22:36Speaker 3: going to see him in his jacket probably, uh, if,
- 22:40Speaker 3: and when he gets sworn in, that might've happened in
- 22:42Speaker 3: private already. But you are not going to see him
- 22:47Speaker 3: with that jacket on when there's committee hearings.
- 22:49Speaker 1: And he will be confrontational. Now, on the other hand,
- 22:53Speaker 1: the Republicans, now in the minority in the Senate, decided
- 22:56Speaker 1: to keep Thune from North Dakota.
- 22:58Speaker 3: You rang. He reminds me of Lurch.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Although I don't know how he always has a tan now,
- 23:03Speaker 1: if you're spending time in North Dakota. But put that aside. Remember,
- 23:06Speaker 1: he was the one who would not accede to the
- 23:08Speaker 1: wishes of the president. on the filibuster vote, you know,
- 23:12Speaker 1: the president was saying, particularly on his bill that would
- 23:15Speaker 1: demand that you have to show a national government photo
- 23:20Speaker 1: ID when you go to vote, in addition to other things.
- 23:23Speaker 1: He said, no, no, no, no cloture, because, you know,
- 23:26Speaker 1: if we do it, then the Dems are going to
- 23:28Speaker 1: do it. So now we'll see if, in fact... Chuck Schumer,
- 23:32Speaker 1: who it's thought of as possibly remaining the majority leader,
- 23:38Speaker 1: although the Democrats choose their leadership next week. Would he
- 23:41Speaker 1: immediately say that he would do what Trump wanted to
- 23:45Speaker 1: be done now that they're in the majority?
- 23:47Speaker 3: Well, that was Trump's argument all along. He said, look,
- 23:49Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to do it anyway. You know,
- 23:51Speaker 3: as soon as they get in. And many of them
- 23:53Speaker 3: campaigned on that and said they were going to do
- 23:56Speaker 3: it when they get in. So, yeah, it would be
- 23:59Speaker 3: like the Democrats to do it. It always turns back
- 24:02Speaker 3: around and bites them on the butt. That's why the
- 24:05Speaker 3: Supreme Court is the way it is, because they got
- 24:07Speaker 3: rid of a filibuster that on Supreme Court nominees, and
- 24:11Speaker 3: then the Republicans won in a landslide, and they put
- 24:14Speaker 3: in person after person, nominee after nominee after nominee. But
- 24:18Speaker 3: it's interesting you talked about Chuck Schumer because we talked
- 24:22Speaker 3: about it yesterday that six of the new members have
- 24:26Speaker 3: all said they're not voting for Schumer, including Troy Jackson,
- 24:29Speaker 3: Amy Andrews, El-Sayed as well. But now Bernie Sanders.
- 24:39Speaker 19: I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years.
- 24:43Speaker 19: And I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer.
- 24:48Speaker 19: But in my view, the time is now for change.
- 24:52Speaker 19: And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected
- 24:57Speaker 19: as the Democratic leader.
- 25:00Speaker 1: You know how well they know one another? They went
- 25:01Speaker 1: to the same high school, Madison High School. Different years.
- 25:04Speaker 1: They didn't go together. But they were both snorers in Brooklyn.
- 25:10Speaker 1: But he's thrown down the gauntlet. I'm thinking here, though,
- 25:13Speaker 1: just in terms of the majority of the people who
- 25:16Speaker 1: are already in the Senate, who are Democrats, most of
- 25:19Speaker 1: them moderates, they're going to keep him because he also
- 25:23Speaker 1: has another thing. He holds the purse, the Senate finance purse.
- 25:27Speaker 1: A lot of these winners are going to have to
- 25:29Speaker 1: pay on bills. You know, they've accumulated bills. Everything hasn't
- 25:34Speaker 1: been covered yet. And instead of having to go out
- 25:36Speaker 1: and do post-fundraisers to make up for your bills, Chuck
- 25:40Speaker 1: may just say, look, who's your daddy? Who's going to
- 25:44Speaker 1: take care of your bills? I control the Senate Democratic
- 25:48Speaker 1: But does he lose that control if he loses the
- 25:53Speaker 1: Speaker's job?
- 25:54Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Sanders has now seven votes. That
- 25:58Speaker 3: would do it. So do you think that he is
- 26:00Speaker 3: cheering for Sullivan now to win in Alaska? I never
- 26:05Speaker 3: thought about that.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Peltola's not going to vote for him. And we know
- 26:10Speaker 1: that in Mississippi, if the Democrats supersedes, and we're going
- 26:13Speaker 1: to talk about that later on in the show, I
- 26:15Speaker 1: don't think he would vote for Chuck. Because remember, they
- 26:18Speaker 1: went to Chuck a month ago, and they said, Chuck,
- 26:20Speaker 1: we're on the cusp of.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Winning the Senate seat, Mississippi African-American. And he said, nope. Yeah.
- 26:27Speaker 5: No.
- 26:28Speaker 3: He's in some trouble unless the Republicans pull it out
- 26:30Speaker 3: in Mississippi and Alaska. One guy that's for him, though—
- 26:35Speaker 3: Of all people, John Fetterman.
- 26:38Speaker 21: I absolutely stand with Schumer. I'm going to vote for Schumer.
- 26:42Speaker 21: He helped recruit a great class. And I can't imagine
- 26:46Speaker 21: why you would vote for someone like Van Hollen with
- 26:49Speaker 21: no record of doing anything.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Fetterman's now putting all of his chips in the Schumer
- 26:58Speaker 3: lot because now if Schumer doesn't win, there's already a
- 27:03Speaker 3: dislike of Fetterman. He's going to be on committees that
- 27:08Speaker 3: nobody ever heard of. When we come back, I heard
- 27:12Speaker 3: something about voting in New Jersey, and I see now
- 27:16Speaker 3: online it's been shared a couple of times. I still
- 27:20Speaker 3: want to check into it, but you know what? I'll
- 27:22Speaker 3: tell you what I heard, and you can determine if
- 27:26Speaker 3: you believe this is true, because it is outrageous about
- 27:31Speaker 3: the voting rolls. We'll talk about it when I come back.
- 27:34Speaker 3: I got a call yesterday from somebody in state government
- 27:37Speaker 3: in New Jersey. We were just talking about things. And
- 27:41Speaker 3: then he said, have you heard this yet? And he
- 27:43Speaker 3: told me that in New Jersey, remember, you remember the
- 27:46Speaker 3: whole Mike, Mikey Sherrill thing when she came out and
- 27:49Speaker 3: said that there were people that were automatically registered by
- 27:53Speaker 3: accident that were non-citizens, 6,000 of them. and that she
- 27:58Speaker 3: was going to fix that. Like they were going to
- 28:00Speaker 3: go through all of it and they were going to
- 28:02Speaker 3: fix everything. And then the government, the federal government went
- 28:06Speaker 3: after her and sued her. And she's been fighting that
- 28:10Speaker 3: now in court. So there hasn't been a definitive ruling yet.
- 28:14Speaker 3: It's been appealed and appealed and appealed. So right now
- 28:18Speaker 3: we have to take Mikey Sherrill's word for it. I
- 28:20Speaker 3: guess we don't really have to, that everything is fixed. Well,
- 28:24Speaker 3: listen to this. 19 of 21 counties in New Jersey
- 28:30Speaker 3: had over 100% more voters than adult citizens. Union County
- 28:43Speaker 3: had 111.3%, which means there were people on the voter
- 28:50Speaker 3: rolls more than there were adult citizens in Union County.
- 28:54Speaker 3: 49,000 more were on in Union County. Let's take Essex County.
- 29:01Speaker 22: 106%.
- 29:02Speaker 3: They had 34,000 more people, more people than are in
- 29:05Speaker 3: the census as being, you know, adults there. Middlesex County, 105.7%.
- 29:18Speaker 3: County after county after county. Statewide, here you go, here's
- 29:20Speaker 3: the adult population of New Jersey, 6,664,848. Registered voters for adults,
- 29:24Speaker 3: 6,740,000. 164,848 registered voters for adults, 6,747,375, 100,000 more people registered
- 29:31Speaker 3: to vote than they are actually in it. So you
- 29:35Speaker 3: would think they have to be all non-citizens, right? And
- 29:39Speaker 3: it has to be. Now, some of them may be dead.
- 29:58Speaker 3: I get that. But not that many. Green card, visa,
- 30:05Speaker 3: but a lot of illegals. You're on to something here, Larry.
- 30:08Speaker 3: You got to do the deep dive. You know Jersey
- 30:11Speaker 3: back and forth.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I'll bounce it off of Mario Kranjak, who was Englewood
- 30:15Speaker 1: Cliffs mayor. He ran for governor, you know, very pro-Trump
- 30:19Speaker 1: in the Republican primary loss. But he's been our legal
- 30:23Speaker 1: aid to the Guardian Angels for years. He can do
- 30:26Speaker 1: the deep dive, but your deep dive will be more impressive,
- 30:29Speaker 1: more extensive. But boy, this might, it may be something
- 30:33Speaker 1: to this.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Of all of the, now remember the problem that Mikey
- 30:37Speaker 3: Sherrill said was automatic registration. The people go to get
- 30:41Speaker 3: their license to drive and they automatically register to vote.
- 30:47Speaker 3: They can decline that. And a lot of the people,
- 30:50Speaker 3: to their credit, many of the non-citizens said, no, I'm
- 30:54Speaker 3: not a citizen. And they were registered anyway. So when
- 30:58Speaker 3: we're talking about all these numbers, when we talk about
- 31:01Speaker 3: the 6,700,000, 48% of them were automatic registration. Almost half
- 31:05Speaker 3: of them were automatic registration. So let me just put
- 31:13Speaker 3: all of this together for you and say, they didn't
- 31:16Speaker 3: fix the problem. This is still happening. So she came
- 31:22Speaker 3: out to sound good and throw the former governor Murphy
- 31:26Speaker 3: under the bus and say, we discovered this. We're going
- 31:29Speaker 3: to fix it. Don't worry, New Jersey. It's all done.
- 31:34Speaker 3: So then when the Trump administration said, okay, we need
- 31:37Speaker 3: proof of that. We need to see what you're doing.
- 31:40Speaker 3: She said, no, no, no, no, no. You can just
- 31:43Speaker 3: trust me. Stay out of this.
- 31:44Speaker 1: You know, this is like it doubles up with the
- 31:48Speaker 1: story you brought to our attention from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where
- 31:52Speaker 1: there were more votes than voters.
- 31:55Speaker 3: Remember the big investigation taking place there? I'm really glad
- 31:58Speaker 3: you brought that up. I'm glad you brought that up
- 32:00Speaker 3: because 20 states across the country, almost all Democratic states
- 32:07Speaker 3: and two swing states— Don't require proof of citizenship to
- 32:12Speaker 3: get a driver's license, and they have automatic registration. So
- 32:17Speaker 3: this is a much bigger problem than New Jersey, and
- 32:21Speaker 3: there has to be an investigation across the country. But
- 32:25Speaker 3: state after state after state, just like voter ID for
- 32:29Speaker 3: some reason, they didn't want voter ID even though all
- 32:31Speaker 3: Americans want it. State after state after state is fighting this. Oh,
- 32:34Speaker 3: this is good, Larry.
- 32:35Speaker 1: You do the deep dive and I'll give you tactical
- 32:38Speaker 1: air support with Mario Kranjic and we'll compare notes.
- 32:42Speaker 3: When we come back, well, Pete Hegseth will not go
- 32:48Speaker 3: quietly into the night. They've already tried to impeach him.
- 32:52Speaker 3: More impeachments are coming and more impeachment attempts at least
- 32:56Speaker 3: are coming. And he is fighting like the fighter he is.
- 33:00Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. After the 7 o'clock news.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Yesterday, in an orgasmatic frenzy, Congressman Massey, on his way
- 33:10Speaker 1: out from Kentucky, he'll be gone as of January 1st,
- 33:14Speaker 1: decided to make a parting shot against Pete Hexeth, the
- 33:20Speaker 1: Secretary of War for the Trump administration, by using a
- 33:24Speaker 1: House procedure to basically call for a snap vote, an
- 33:28Speaker 1: instant vote, on impeachment for Pete Hegseth. He gave like
- 33:32Speaker 1: eight terms of what this impeachment was, and he couldn't
- 33:36Speaker 1: have been happier. I mean, he was the bell of
- 33:39Speaker 1: the ball. All the reporters were gathered around Massey. But
- 33:43Speaker 1: right before the vote was to take place, Pete Hegseth,
- 33:47Speaker 1: the Secretary of War, came out for a press conference.
- 33:51Speaker 1: He ended up not taking any questions. It was early yesterday.
- 33:54Speaker 1: I think we were still on the air, Larry, towards
- 33:56Speaker 1: the end of our show. And man, he was fired up.
- 34:00Speaker 1: He was flexing. He was giving, but he wasn't taking
- 34:04Speaker 1: any incoming. He made his statements and then he left
- 34:07Speaker 1: out the side door and waited for the result of
- 34:10Speaker 1: the vote.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Can we hear some of the things that he said yesterday?
- 34:12Speaker 18: What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not
- 34:17Speaker 18: oversight and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a
- 34:22Speaker 18: personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment.
- 34:28Speaker 3: He was good. You want some more? Absolutely. I'm not
- 34:31Speaker 3: going to interfere with him because he was like a
- 34:34Speaker 3: Gatling gun.
- 34:35Speaker 18: Let's be clear about what this resolution actually does. It
- 34:39Speaker 18: tells our enemies, Iran, the cartels, every adversary watching, that
- 34:44Speaker 18: the United States will actually punish its own warriors and
- 34:48Speaker 18: its own civilian leadership for successfully executing lawful military operations.
- 34:54Speaker 3: Yeah, he went on to call it a stunt. He
- 34:57Speaker 3: went on to, well, he used every term in the
- 35:00Speaker 3: book to say this was just a farce by a
- 35:03Speaker 3: disgruntled man.
- 35:04Speaker 18: It puts a target on the backs of American warriors
- 35:07Speaker 18: by signaling that Congress will undermine their missions in real time.
- 35:12Speaker 3: This is not patriotism. This is sabotage. It seemed to me,
- 35:18Speaker 3: because of the words he was saying, because how he
- 35:21Speaker 3: was saying this really hurts America and it's un-American to
- 35:25Speaker 3: do something like this, he knew this was going to fail.
- 35:28Speaker 3: That was for the Democrats. Don't you think?
- 35:32Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of hard to know if he knew
- 35:36Speaker 1: because one of the– situations that occurred because it was
- 35:41Speaker 1: a snap vote. So it was taking place that day.
- 35:43Speaker 1: He gives his speech in advance, doesn't take any incoming,
- 35:47Speaker 1: you know, no questions, even though the press is all there.
- 35:50Speaker 1: And within hours, there's a vote. 11 Dems were not there.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Seven Republicans were not there.
- 35:56Speaker 3: For varying reasons.
- 35:58Speaker 1: But I'm of the opinion that originally, let's say everybody
- 36:02Speaker 1: had attended or one or two couldn't for whatever reasons.
- 36:05Speaker 1: He would have been impeached by the House, would have
- 36:09Speaker 1: went to the Senate, would have went nowhere.
- 36:10Speaker 3: It would still have failed.
- 36:12Speaker 14: Yes.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Yeah, it still would have failed because the Republicans have
- 36:15Speaker 3: a majority. No doubt.
- 36:17Speaker 1: But it would have been that victory for Massey on
- 36:19Speaker 1: his way out. You see, I told you so. But
- 36:23Speaker 1: I think Hakeem Jeffries, knowing that he's secure now as
- 36:28Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House, and they're not going to
- 36:29Speaker 1: sack the first African-American Speaker of the House, no matter
- 36:33Speaker 1: how many of the progressives are angry at him because
- 36:35Speaker 1: of his relationship with Israel. I think he probably sent
- 36:39Speaker 1: the signal to some of the Dems, come up with
- 36:42Speaker 1: a reason not to be here, 11 of them. I'll
- 36:44Speaker 1: give you an example. There's Haley Stevens. Remember, she was
- 36:48Speaker 1: in the eye of the storm in Michigan the last
- 36:50Speaker 1: 72 hours. She was a Democratic congresswoman, barely lost to
- 36:54Speaker 1: El-Said in the primary election. and then shows up with
- 36:56Speaker 1: Mike Rogers at the Black Church and the discussion about
- 37:00Speaker 1: the Jewish vote. It turned out 60% of the Jews
- 37:03Speaker 1: there voted for El-Sayed. I don't think she wants to
- 37:06Speaker 1: be seen anywhere. I don't think she'll attend another session
- 37:09Speaker 1: going right on up to January 1st. I think she
- 37:12Speaker 1: may be out of there. But there are probably other
- 37:14Speaker 1: reasons that people didn't show. But I think Hakeem Jeffries said, no,
- 37:18Speaker 1: this is ours and ours alone. Come January 3rd, we'll
- 37:21Speaker 1: have our plan for Pete Hegseth. Because remember, he said...
- 37:25Speaker 1: He wants to take out Pete Hexeth. A lot of
- 37:28Speaker 1: people that didn't show up lost, lost in the election.
- 37:32Speaker 1: I think all but one of them had lost in
- 37:35Speaker 1: the election. Let's explain what happened yesterday, because if you
- 37:39Speaker 1: heard the vote, you might have been a little bit confused.
- 37:42Speaker 3: The yeas are 211. The nays are 204.
- 37:45Speaker 14: The motion is adopted.
- 37:50Speaker 3: So you're thinking, oh, then it passed yesterday. If the
- 37:53Speaker 3: yeas were more than it had to pass, why isn't
- 37:58Speaker 3: he impeached? Why isn't going to the Senate at this point?
- 38:00Speaker 3: Because the vote was not for impeachment. This was the
- 38:05Speaker 3: Republicans maneuvering. They had a vote on it going to committee.
- 38:11Speaker 3: So now it's going to go to the judicial committee
- 38:15Speaker 3: where the Republicans run the committee and it's just going
- 38:19Speaker 3: to die. So that's when we say it was voted down. No,
- 38:23Speaker 3: it was actually voted up. to go to a burial ground.
- 38:27Speaker 3: So that bill's going to die. I just, I wanted
- 38:29Speaker 3: to clear that up because when I first heard it,
- 38:31Speaker 3: I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. It sounded like an A.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Only an avid watcher of C-SPAN would have known what
- 38:38Speaker 1: that meant.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Yes. And there aren't that many of them out there.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Our president is, we learned that our president likes to
- 38:43Speaker 1: watch C-SPAN and listen to what everybody has to say.
- 38:46Speaker 3: It becomes like a poll for him.
- 38:48Speaker 1: He called in, remember the other night, he called in
- 38:50Speaker 1: to C-SPAN at like two, three in the morning, you know,
- 38:53Speaker 1: to comment. But other than if you were constantly watching C-SPAN,
- 38:57Speaker 1: you would have thought like I thought, like you thought, Larry. Well,
- 39:01Speaker 1: I guess Massey leaves with a victory. But it turns out, no.
- 39:06Speaker 1: You know, you had seven Republicans who were out. I'm
- 39:09Speaker 1: assuming they would have voted. voted in the negative, and
- 39:13Speaker 1: the 11 Democrats who were not there, I assume they
- 39:15Speaker 1: would have voted in the positive, that would have meant
- 39:18Speaker 1: he would have been impeached.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Right, and let's talk about the impeachment for now. Well,
- 39:23Speaker 3: if they all would have showed up, the Republicans too,
- 39:25Speaker 3: he still wouldn't have been impeached. But you're right, if
- 39:28Speaker 3: the Democrats were the only ones that showed up. up,
- 39:30Speaker 3: then they would have had enough votes. Let's talk about
- 39:33Speaker 3: what happens next with Hegseth, because you'll remember that the
- 39:38Speaker 3: Speaker of the House, Jeffries, who we're assuming is going
- 39:41Speaker 3: to continue as the Speaker of the House, said– I'm
- 39:44Speaker 3: a hard yes. I'm a hard yes on impeaching Pete Hegseth.
- 39:48Speaker 3: And there are some things that legitimately should be looked into,
- 39:52Speaker 3: but they have been looked into. So Pete Hegseth, there
- 39:56Speaker 3: is going to be an impeachment. The controversy right now
- 40:01Speaker 3: is whether he can be defended by Todd Blanch. Todd
- 40:07Speaker 3: Blanch has been out there saying, look it, I'm going
- 40:09Speaker 3: to defend him. The Justice Department is going to defend him.
- 40:12Speaker 3: Anybody they try to impeach, the Justice Department is going
- 40:15Speaker 3: to defend. And they're saying, wait a second, that's not constitutional.
- 40:19Speaker 3: And he says, no, it's absolutely constitutional. He is doing
- 40:22Speaker 3: a great job.
- 40:23Speaker 23: We very much support Pete, and we very much support
- 40:26Speaker 23: the work that he's doing, working for this administration. And again,
- 40:29Speaker 23: just to remember, everything that he has done, he has
- 40:32Speaker 23: worked with the Department of Justice to make sure that
- 40:34Speaker 23: he's operating within the law. And that's something that's missing
- 40:37Speaker 23: from this entire debate about what's happening today on the Hill.
- 40:41Speaker 3: So not only is he going to defend him, he
- 40:45Speaker 3: already is doing it. He's doing the pre-trial work to
- 40:49Speaker 3: say he's done a great job, he shouldn't be out there.
- 40:52Speaker 3: But he has said over and over and over again,
- 40:56Speaker 3: why is anybody questioning this? This is my job. This
- 40:59Speaker 3: is specific in the Constitution. So my feeling is before
- 41:03Speaker 3: the Hegseth thing, they're going to take this on. They
- 41:06Speaker 3: want to make sure that he doesn't get Justice Department attorneys.
- 41:10Speaker 3: They want to make sure he doesn't get Todd Blanch.
- 41:12Speaker 3: You said he's going to handle it himself. No, there's
- 41:15Speaker 3: no doubt.
- 41:16Speaker 1: But I think in all the charges that Massey brought,
- 41:21Speaker 1: you can't stick any of them on to him because
- 41:23Speaker 1: the president checked off on every one of them publicly, openly.
- 41:28Speaker 1: It's not like Pete Hexhead did something like blowing up
- 41:32Speaker 1: speedboats off the coast of South America without the permission
- 41:36Speaker 1: of the president of the United States. who, because he
- 41:39Speaker 1: is so public on everything, said, good job.
- 41:41Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 41:42Speaker 1: So the only one that of the charges now is
- 41:46Speaker 1: when Senator Kelly of Arizona and some of the other
- 41:50Speaker 1: Democrats reminded members of the services that you can reject
- 41:56Speaker 1: an order. And they had constitutional grounds. But the president said,
- 42:00Speaker 1: I think they're traitors. Hang them.
- 42:02Speaker 3: Remember?
- 42:02Speaker 1: So, again, he wasn't hanging them, Pete. But he was
- 42:06Speaker 1: operating on... With the okay and the full support of
- 42:11Speaker 1: the president of the United States who basically– I don't
- 42:15Speaker 1: think he's had a conflict with him on anything. The
- 42:18Speaker 1: other problem would be when and if he gets to
- 42:20Speaker 1: that point, they bring in esteemed generals. They're both sides,
- 42:24Speaker 1: particularly in the Senate, really light because they worked.
- 42:27Speaker 3: With them over the years. Right, right, right. fired them.
- 42:30Speaker 3: So he has the right to do that. He's allowed
- 42:32Speaker 3: to fire anybody. They serve at the wishes of the
- 42:35Speaker 3: president and the defense secretary. So if he wants to
- 42:37Speaker 3: get rid of somebody, he's allowed to do that. That's constitutional.
- 42:41Speaker 3: You may think it's wrong, but it's not illegal to
- 42:44Speaker 3: do that. I do want to get back to the
- 42:46Speaker 3: boats that you talked about, the boats that they claim
- 42:48Speaker 3: were Fisher boats, but were actually drug smugglers that he
- 42:52Speaker 3: blew up and talk back yesterday said they thought that
- 42:55Speaker 3: was the worst thing. There were attorneys watching in real
- 43:01Speaker 3: time to give the approval on that. So it's not
- 43:05Speaker 3: just Pete Hegseth that you're looking at. He was there
- 43:07Speaker 3: watching it too, but they had attorneys from the Justice
- 43:11Speaker 3: Department telling them whether it was a legal strike or not.
- 43:14Speaker 3: So I don't think that is going to end up
- 43:17Speaker 3: being as big deal as we would think. One of
- 43:21Speaker 3: the things is when it's political... it doesn't matter what's
- 43:25Speaker 3: right or wrong. It matters what the votes are. So
- 43:28Speaker 3: this is going to be a show. They're going to
- 43:30Speaker 3: get in front of the judicial committee or the oversight committee,
- 43:34Speaker 3: whichever one handles it, and they're going to have this
- 43:37Speaker 3: big show to make him as much of a villain
- 43:40Speaker 3: as they can make him. In many of the cases,
- 43:43Speaker 3: he's not going to help himself because he's going to
- 43:45Speaker 3: be adversarial. He's going to shoot right back at them.
- 43:49Speaker 3: It is going to be high drama. But at the
- 43:51Speaker 3: end of the day... I don't think there is anything
- 43:55Speaker 3: unconstitutional that he did.
- 43:57Speaker 5: Right.
- 43:57Speaker 1: But there are Republican senators who have already signaled on
- 44:01Speaker 1: that they will vote for a trial. So there's going
- 44:04Speaker 1: to be fireworks in the House, less so because that'll
- 44:08Speaker 1: be a slam dunk for Hakeem Jeffries. He'll have the majority.
- 44:11Speaker 1: But the actual trial for impeachment. will take place in
- 44:15Speaker 1: the Senate. And some Republicans have given the green light
- 44:18Speaker 1: for the child. Doesn't mean they're going to vote to
- 44:20Speaker 1: impeach him, but they are going to vote to open
- 44:24Speaker 1: up the hearings. And as you said, he could become
- 44:26Speaker 1: his own worst enemy if he doesn't control himself.
- 44:30Speaker 3: When we come back, we talked about a dramatic rescue
- 44:34Speaker 3: in New Jersey. We've got another one.
- 44:37Speaker 17: Five-inch TV.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Well, Curtis, you're going to love this story. And you'll
- 44:40Speaker 3: have to tell Nancy about it because I know that
- 44:43Speaker 3: she's listening to Elvis Duran right now. Yeah, Z100.
- 44:47Speaker 1: She's a fan of him and his crew.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Not us. Never has been. It's a shame because she
- 44:53Speaker 3: would love this story. There was an ambulance crew in
- 44:56Speaker 3: Hudson Valley in Wallkill. that was driving down the road
- 45:02Speaker 3: on Route 32 in Newburgh when they saw something in
- 45:07Speaker 3: the middle of the road.
- 45:08Speaker 10: In the distance, I thought it was a dog laying
- 45:10Speaker 10: in the middle of the road. So I was like,
- 45:13Speaker 10: and then we got closer, and I'm like, that's a
- 45:15Speaker 10: bald eagle.
- 45:15Speaker 3: Like, that's insane. Yeah, that's the EMT, Jessica Foster. In
- 45:21Speaker 3: 10 years, she has never treated an eagle. But when
- 45:25Speaker 3: she got close, she saw it was in some trouble.
- 45:28Speaker 10: It wasn't really moving very much. It was looking around
- 45:32Speaker 10: like it knew it was in some sort of distress.
- 45:35Speaker 10: So we got a blanket and covered the whole body.
- 45:40Speaker 3: Now, they think it was hit by a car, which
- 45:44Speaker 3: is insane that a bald eagle could be hit by
- 45:47Speaker 3: a car.
- 45:47Speaker 1: Now, hold on a second. You said Newburgh. The Camden
- 45:51Speaker 1: on the Hudson, right? I would have thought the dog
- 45:54Speaker 1: was shot and killed there by the thugs in Newburgh.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Oh my God, that's thug land. Well, it's a road
- 46:01Speaker 3: on the way through. I know, I've been on it
- 46:03Speaker 3: many times. You have to get through to go somewhere else.
- 46:06Speaker 3: So it's not in the city itself. But you can imagine,
- 46:12Speaker 3: you know, she said this is the most incredible rescue
- 46:16Speaker 3: she's ever done in her life.
- 46:17Speaker 10: I've never seen that before, which was... An incredible experience.
- 46:22Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 46:22Speaker 3: I mean, she'll be talking about that for years. By
- 46:25Speaker 3: the way, the bald eagle's fine. It was taken to
- 46:26Speaker 3: an animal hospital. It did have head and neck injuries.
- 46:30Speaker 7: The video is incredible because, you know, the eagle is
- 46:33Speaker 7: just looking, you know, just looking up at everybody like, okay,
- 46:37Speaker 7: thank you. And they put it in an ambulance. So
- 46:40Speaker 7: they had it, they wrapped it up. They put it on,
- 46:43Speaker 7: you know, kind of like a board and then they
- 46:45Speaker 7: lift it up into the ambulance. The ambulance took it
- 46:48Speaker 7: to the animal hospital.
- 46:49Speaker 3: You know, hospital. They said right away they thought it
- 46:51Speaker 3: was a head and neck injury. And that's why they
- 46:54Speaker 3: put it on a board. I mean, that's amazing that
- 46:56Speaker 3: they were able to diagnose a bird that they have
- 46:59Speaker 3: never treated a bird before.
- 47:01Speaker 1: It's amazing. There are more and more bald eagles coming
- 47:04Speaker 1: into our area. There's one in Central Park. And by
- 47:06Speaker 1: the way, update, I check on the barn owls every night.
- 47:10Speaker 1: You know, the birders are out with their telescopes and binoculars,
- 47:13Speaker 1: all five doing well. They've been displaced, but they're at
- 47:16Speaker 1: a different water tower, and the adults are sweeping through
- 47:20Speaker 1: Central Park at night, foraging for mice and rats to
- 47:23Speaker 1: bring them back to the little baby barn owlets.
- 47:26Speaker 3: I see the pictures and the videos online, and the
- 47:30Speaker 3: pictures are amazing. I love how the owl will be
- 47:33Speaker 3: up in a tree, and it just, like it's listening
- 47:35Speaker 3: to music, and like it has headphones on. It just
- 47:38Speaker 3: rocks back and forth and rocks back and forth. Let's
- 47:42Speaker 3: get to some talkbacks.
- 47:44Speaker 12: Good morning everybody, this is Pastor John. As me and
- 47:47Speaker 12: my team serve the homeless and the folks in need
- 47:51Speaker 12: in and around Penn Station, when we see veterans, we
- 47:55Speaker 12: always thank them for their service. And we will do
- 47:57Speaker 12: it again today, even more. It's become part of our
- 48:01Speaker 12: ritual as we serve our Lord and bring Him.
- 48:04Speaker 5: To the people.
- 48:06Speaker 12: Veterans, police officers, are the backbone of this country. They
- 48:11Speaker 12: do it willingly, honor them, we do.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Pastor John calls in every once in a while or
- 48:16Speaker 3: leaves a talk back every once in a while. I
- 48:18Speaker 3: love this guy. Have you met him?
- 48:20Speaker 20: Oh, yeah.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Right there in Penn Station and outside feeding the homeless.
- 48:23Speaker 1: But PTSD is what many of these veterans are suffering from.
- 48:27Speaker 1: They become homeless, sometimes emotionally disturbed. That's why it was
- 48:31Speaker 1: great the other night at the cutting room. Both I
- 48:33Speaker 1: and Nancy went to the fundraiser that Marie from 104
- 48:38Speaker 1: Classic Rock was holding. What they do is they rescue
- 48:41Speaker 1: dogs from shelters. And then they customize them to the
- 48:45Speaker 1: veterans so that it deals, it calms them down from
- 48:49Speaker 1: their PTSD. Because apparently the veterans' hospitals do little, if anything,
- 48:54Speaker 1: other than give them medication.
- 48:56Speaker 3: They give them drugs. And sometimes the drugs are worse
- 48:59Speaker 3: than the PTSD. You know, I've done many, many stories
- 49:03Speaker 3: on this. And those dogs are amazing. Those dogs are amazing.
- 49:07Speaker 3: The dogs are better than the medicine. Mikey Sherrill won.
- 49:14Speaker 15: By a huge number of more votes than Murphy won
- 49:18Speaker 15: by in the last election.
- 49:21Speaker 13: Huh.
- 49:22Speaker 24: And now we know why.
- 49:25Speaker 3: Yeah, she's talking about the fact that for registered adults,
- 49:30Speaker 3: registered voters, there are 114%, which you're going to say
- 49:35Speaker 3: that's impossible. Yes, it is impossible. How do you get
- 49:39Speaker 3: more people registered to vote than there are adults in
- 49:44Speaker 3: New Jersey and county by county by county by county? Now, look,
- 49:50Speaker 3: you might say, well, they died. There's 100,000 that died. Yes,
- 49:55Speaker 3: but nobody gets 100%. Nobody gets 100% registered. So usually,
- 50:01Speaker 3: and what, 50% vote? 60% vote? It is ridiculous. There's
- 50:07Speaker 3: something going on. There has to be a bigger investigation.
- 50:10Speaker 1: The two most corrupt Democratic counties in America are in
- 50:12Speaker 1: New Jersey, Hudson County in the north, Camden County in
- 50:15Speaker 1: the south. I'll bet you you go in there, that's
- 50:18Speaker 1: where you'll find them.
- 50:19Speaker 3: No, there's 19 of 21 counties. It's pervasive. It's right
- 50:23Speaker 3: through the states.
- 50:23Speaker 1: So it's spread from Hudson County, formerly Bobby Menendez, and
- 50:27Speaker 1: down in Camden County.
- 50:29Speaker 3: And here you go. This is a New Jersey response
- 50:32Speaker 3: from our next talkback. Oh, Larry, stop. Nothing to see here.
- 50:37Speaker 3: That's right. Nothing to see here. What is he afraid of?
- 50:42Speaker 3: Checking it out.
- 50:42Speaker 1: Now, if it turns out it's dead people, well, okay,
- 50:46Speaker 1: at least you found out, Larry. But if it's all
- 50:49Speaker 1: the illegals that go online, Department of Motor Vehicles, and
- 50:53Speaker 1: immediately get put on the voting rolls unless they check
- 50:55Speaker 1: the box, you know, come on.
- 50:58Speaker 3: Let's be honest. How many of them check the box?
- 51:00Speaker 3: But anyway.
- 51:01Speaker 1: 7.30 and right now, let's get our news update from Daria.
- 51:05Speaker 15: You know, you guys can go see the corruption on
- 51:07Speaker 15: display at a museum in Hudson County, New Jersey.
- 51:10Speaker 3: How's that?
- 51:11Speaker 15: The Jersey City Museum reportedly has a desk in it
- 51:14Speaker 15: that Mayor Frank Haig, who is mayor forever in Jersey City,
- 51:18Speaker 15: used to have when he would have visitors and there
- 51:21Speaker 15: was a drawer. And if you would visit the mayor,
- 51:25Speaker 15: he would push the drawer out.
- 51:27Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to make your donation. By the way,
- 51:30Speaker 3: you know, Jersey City. He's sort of like an exhibit.
- 51:33Speaker 3: There you go.
- 51:34Speaker 1: But Jersey City had an illegal alien as mayor, and
- 51:38Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago.
- 51:41Speaker 3: I'll figure that one out.
- 51:42Speaker 5: All right.
- 51:42Speaker 1: Hopefully a talkbacker will give us the answer to that
- 51:46Speaker 1: later on in the show.
- 51:47Speaker 25: All right.
- 51:47Speaker 3: So there you go.
- 51:48Speaker 15: Sunny today with a high of 62 degrees. New York
- 51:51Speaker 15: traditionally marks Veterans Day with one of the nation's largest parade,
- 51:55Speaker 15: and this year is not going to be any exception.
- 51:57Speaker 24: More than 20,000 people taking part, including vets from different
- 52:00Speaker 24: wars and military branches, service organizations, and community groups. NASA
- 52:05Speaker 24: astronaut and U.S. Navy vet Sonny Williams is the Grand Marshal.
- 52:09Speaker 4: The military right now, they're doing so much as well
- 52:12Speaker 4: that they're paving the way for even the next generation.
- 52:15Speaker 4: So it's just one generation after another keeping this country free,
- 52:19Speaker 4: and it's an honor.
- 52:20Speaker 24: And this year's parade marking the 250th anniversary of the nation,
- 52:23Speaker 24: the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, and the 35th
- 52:27Speaker 24: anniversary of Operation Desert Storm. I'm Scott Pringle, WDOR News.
- 52:31Speaker 15: Mayor Mamdani will not march in the parade. Instead, he'll
- 52:33Speaker 15: serve meals to veterans in the Bronx. President Trump will
- 52:37Speaker 15: observe the holiday with remarks at the Tomb of the
- 52:39Speaker 15: Unknown Soldier. Syed Mohassib is now charged with murder and
- 52:43Speaker 15: the fatal stabbing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez. A grand
- 52:47Speaker 15: jury handed up its indictment yesterday. There will be a
- 52:49Speaker 15: wake today for Suarez. Republicans are still the majority in Congress,
- 52:54Speaker 15: and for now, they are going to exercise that, they say. Yesterday,
- 52:59Speaker 15: House members pulled together to put the impeachment of Defense
- 53:01Speaker 15: Secretary Pete Hegseth on hold. Instead, they voted to refer
- 53:05Speaker 15: the articles that were introduced by Kentucky GOP Thomas Massey
- 53:08Speaker 15: to committee. Ohio's Jim Jordan will serve as House Minority
- 53:12Speaker 15: Leader in the 120th Congress. His fellow GOP from Indiana...
- 53:16Speaker 15: Martin Stutzman calls it a great choice.
- 53:18Speaker 26: Jim Jordan is a Midwestern guy who has a great
- 53:21Speaker 26: ability to communicate to the American people as well as
- 53:24Speaker 26: fighting for conservative principles because we're going to be fighting
- 53:27Speaker 26: against socialism for the next two years, and that should
- 53:29Speaker 26: concern every American.
- 53:30Speaker 15: The current Senate Majority Leader, John Thune of South Dakota,

- 53:50Speaker 3: While Ring is stepping up its game, it now has
- 53:54Speaker 3: a Ring camera that actually flies around your house. Rich DeMuro,
- 54:01Speaker 3: our tech guy, Rich on Tech, is up next to

- 54:51Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe. But now it's super chips. Our girl's best friend.
- 54:56Speaker 1: No better expert to comment on this growing soap opera
- 55:00Speaker 1: novella over the super chips than our own Rich DeMuro.
- 55:04Speaker 1: You catch him. Rich on Tech. Heard Sunday nights from
- 55:07Speaker 1: 8 to 11 p.m. Right here on the most listened
- 55:10Speaker 1: to talk radio station in New York City, 710WOR. So
- 55:16Speaker 1: has this created a crisis in Silicon Valley about.
- 55:22Speaker 1: I have had sex outside of marriage.
- 55:25Speaker 3: I am guilty, God.
- 55:26Speaker 1: What is this going to do to the man who
- 55:27Speaker 1: controls all the super chips in the world?
- 55:31Speaker 8: Oh, I don't even think it's about that at all anymore.
- 55:34Speaker 8: I mean, this is about all these people. Just think
- 55:37Speaker 8: six months ago when every single person you spoke to,
- 55:40Speaker 8: your barber to, you know, every friend you had over
- 55:43Speaker 8: for a beer, they all said, you.
- 55:44Speaker 1: Got to buy Nvidia stock.
- 55:46Speaker 8: You got to buy Nvidia stock.
- 55:47Speaker 1: And everyone did.
- 55:49Speaker 8: And now you've got this company at the center of
- 55:51Speaker 8: one of the biggest crises we've seen in a long time,
- 55:55Speaker 8: not only because this guy cheated, but also because it
- 55:58Speaker 8: might have been with a spy. I mean, I'm telling you,
- 56:01Speaker 8: if there's not someone in Hollywood that's writing this movie
- 56:03Speaker 8: right now, they better be. There's just so many great details.
- 56:06Speaker 8: We're still learning about this woman, Alice Wong, no relation
- 56:10Speaker 8: to Jensen Wong, the guy who's in charge of NVIDIA.
- 56:13Speaker 8: Business executive, worked as a TV reporter, moved into banking
- 56:16Speaker 8: and finance. And she kind of loved her relationship with
- 56:20Speaker 8: this guy. There was a report where she was at
- 56:22Speaker 8: a party, and she bragged. She said, look, I can
- 56:24Speaker 8: get NVIDIA's Jensen Wang here. Watch, you want to see?
- 56:28Speaker 8: And sure enough, texted him, came over in a couple minutes.
- 56:32Speaker 8: And the problem here is that the U.S. has very
- 56:36Speaker 8: strong export rules on selling chips to China. And apparently
- 56:40Speaker 8: this company that she worked with, Megaspeed, They got about
- 56:45Speaker 8: $ 4 billion worth of NVIDIA AI chips. Was it because
- 56:48Speaker 8: of their relationship? I guess that'll come out in time.
- 56:51Speaker 5: Wow.
- 56:52Speaker 3: You know what? You called my attention to something I
- 56:54Speaker 3: really wasn't looking at. The stock is plummeting. It was
- 57:00Speaker 3: up at 230. It's down to 168 and still going down.
- 57:05Speaker 3: And when you look at the chart, it looks like,
- 57:08Speaker 3: you know, looking over a cliff at the Grand Canyon,
- 57:11Speaker 3: it just goes straight down. Yeah, I'm glad you called
- 57:16Speaker 3: that to our attention. That's a big, that's a huge story.
- 57:20Speaker 3: All of that money. It is huge.
- 57:21Speaker 8: And it's also just this guy is the face of
- 57:24Speaker 8: this company. I mean, he started it. He's been running
- 57:27Speaker 8: it for more than 30 years. So the problem is
- 57:30Speaker 8: investors are sitting there going, okay, we know they make
- 57:32Speaker 8: good chips. We know that maybe this company's overvalued. We're
- 57:34Speaker 8: not sure. But is there going to be a leader
- 57:37Speaker 8: that can take this company, if necessary, to the next
- 57:40Speaker 8: level if they decide, you know, the board's doing an investigation, U.S.
- 57:43Speaker 8: is doing an investigation, everyone's investigating right now. But the
- 57:45Speaker 8: problem is you got this guy who is pretty much
- 57:48Speaker 8: the only guy at the company. Like he is the
- 57:51Speaker 8: main guy. So can someone else run this company as
- 57:54Speaker 8: successful as he did and keep that stock price up
- 57:56Speaker 8: and keep them as a market leader? I mean, they're
- 57:58Speaker 8: one of the top five most valuable companies in the
- 58:01Speaker 8: world right now.
- 58:02Speaker 3: Well, the stock owners must want him out at this point,
- 58:04Speaker 3: but we'll see what happens. I want to talk about
- 58:07Speaker 3: something else, because I am big on, well, everybody is now.
- 58:11Speaker 3: I'm big on Ring. Everybody has a Ring doorbell now.
- 58:14Speaker 3: But they're now stepping up their game, Rich. Yeah, a
- 58:18Speaker 3: little bit of trivia for you. I tested the first
- 58:20Speaker 3: Ring door, it was called DoorBot. back in the day
- 58:24Speaker 3: when it first came out. I was one of the
- 58:25Speaker 3: first people to test it, do a story with them. Anyway,
- 58:28Speaker 3: it's kind of fun.
- 58:29Speaker 8: I've been watching their journey for many, many years. And
- 58:31Speaker 8: now they have launched the Ring Drone Cam. This is
- 58:36Speaker 8: a $ 250 flying security camera that can patrol inside your house.
- 58:41Speaker 8: So it stays docked. And then if there's trouble, it
- 58:44Speaker 8: will fly to that room, give you a view of
- 58:46Speaker 8: what's happening, or it can do standard patrols. It can
- 58:49Speaker 8: apparently go upstairs. Obviously, it's not walking. It's flying up there.
- 58:53Speaker 8: You know, there's some demos that people got, and, you know,
- 58:57Speaker 8: it's not perfect. It was crashing into a couple things.
- 59:00Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 59:02Speaker 8: Don't put your glasses anywhere, you know, with this thing.
- 59:07Speaker 3: It's going to cut way down on people cheating on
- 59:09Speaker 3: their spouse. I would think.
- 59:14Speaker 17: I'm sorry.
- 59:15Speaker 7: I'm curious because I know there's like a $ 5 a
- 59:17Speaker 7: month service fee for it, I heard. But does it
- 59:21Speaker 7: detect things? Does it know if the door opens and
- 59:25Speaker 7: it goes to see something? Say if you're not home,
- 59:27Speaker 7: can you set it for something crashes?
- 59:29Speaker 5: Yes.
- 59:30Speaker 22: Will it know?
- 59:30Speaker 3: Yes.
- 59:31Speaker 8: Yes, those are some of the things that it can do. So, yes,
- 59:33Speaker 8: if you have a ring alarm system, the back door opens.
- 59:36Speaker 8: It can fly to that back door.
- 59:38Speaker 25: Oh, wow.
- 59:38Speaker 8: Now, I did get a demo of this a couple
- 59:40Speaker 8: years ago. They've been talking about this product for years,
- 59:43Speaker 8: by the way. They had a demo of it at
- 59:45Speaker 8: CES for a couple years. Never really came to fruition.
- 59:47Speaker 8: I think they finally got to a place where they
- 59:50Speaker 8: figured out how to do this. It took them longer
- 59:52Speaker 8: than they expected. It's a good idea.
- 59:54Speaker 1: Let's be honest.
- 59:55Speaker 8: I mean, because you don't have to have cameras, like
- 59:57Speaker 8: you said. In certain rooms of the house, people don't
- 1:00:00Speaker 8: typically put cameras in bathrooms and in bedrooms. So this
- 1:00:04Speaker 8: has a way to fly into those rooms to see
- 1:00:06Speaker 8: what's going on if someone were to use the window
- 1:00:09Speaker 8: and that to break in or something.
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: So it's a good idea. I think, you know, I
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: can think of a million privacy problems off the top
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: of my head. Oh, yeah.
- 1:00:18Speaker 8: I mean, it's loud, though. This thing is not sneaking
- 1:00:21Speaker 8: up on anyone. So if you're, you know, doing something
- 1:00:24Speaker 8: in that room that no one needs to know about.
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: You'll know. Wow, the technology. Incredible. Rich DeMuro.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Again, you got to check him out right here on
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: the most listened to talk radio station in New York.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: 710 WOR. 8 to 11 p.m. on WOR.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Well, how can you go online, Larry, in order to
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: get rich? You just go and see Rich on Tech.
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: He is on Instagram, at Rich on Tech. And there
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: you can see all of the latest things he's checking out. Also,
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: you can ask him some questions there. Yeah, about maybe
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: having a drone spy on him. Watch out, Rich.
- 1:01:06Speaker 14: No.
- 1:01:12Speaker 17: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: And I love what you're doing today. Obviously, you're going
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: to talk about Veterans Day, but I certainly hope you
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: got to talk to some veterans. I did. I did
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: get to talk to some veterans. Hold on a second.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Let's get her up there, Crash.
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: Let's get the audio.
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: Can you hear.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Me?
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: Take the other one. Can you hear me? Nope. Here,
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: come over here.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Can you hear me?
- 1:01:41Speaker 16: That's so funny because my dad's always like, step back
- 1:01:43Speaker 16: from the mic.
- 1:01:44Speaker 24: You're so loud.
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: But you couldn't hear me.
- 1:01:47Speaker 16: Because the mic's not on.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: You can't hear me. You went to a third mic.
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: I did. It was one, two, third time's a charm.
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:01:55Speaker 16: I did speak to a veteran on the street, you know,
- 1:01:58Speaker 16: doing the street interviews today. But it's Veterans Day and
- 1:02:02Speaker 16: the annual parade is being held to honor the 250
- 1:02:05Speaker 16: years of America, obviously. And it'll commemorate 25 years since
- 1:02:10Speaker 16: the september 11th attack so what's considered the nation's largest
- 1:02:15Speaker 16: veterans day commemoration will march up fifth avenue from east
- 1:02:19Speaker 16: 26th to 48th streets so for anyone who's not a
- 1:02:24Speaker 16: veteran are they thinking about it.
- 1:02:26Speaker 27: If i get the day off maybe but i don't
- 1:02:28Speaker 27: think i do so no no.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: I don't have a day off so it's i just
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: think about it as a way to remember the veterans.
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: I have thought about it a bit.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking the other day that Veterans Day
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: is different from Memorial Day, and that Veterans Day is
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: more about honoring the people that have served and have sacrificed.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: In one way or another. So, yes. It's very important,
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: very important to honor these folks. So, see veterans, we need.
- 1:02:51Speaker 21: To honor them.
- 1:02:53Speaker 16: Yeah, so with more than 2 million Americans in uniform
- 1:02:56Speaker 16: on active duty or in reserve forces, This Veterans Day
- 1:03:00Speaker 16: is being marked amid an ongoing conflict or war with Iran.
- 1:03:04Speaker 16: It has me asking people if they're seeing younger generations
- 1:03:07Speaker 16: care a little bit more because of the ongoing war.
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: I'm not certain about that. All I can tell you
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: is the Lord's in the middle of it, and we
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: don't have to worry about it.
- 1:03:17Speaker 27: The system in which we navigate our wars and everything,
- 1:03:20Speaker 27: it's very tough to deal with that as a New Yorker,
- 1:03:22Speaker 27: and just as a person in America who's like, their
- 1:03:25Speaker 27: money is going to things that they don't understand or
- 1:03:27Speaker 27: things that they don't necessarily support, so I think it's
- 1:03:29Speaker 27: hard to support a holiday like that when so much
- 1:03:31Speaker 27: is under the black tape.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: But I do think that this war that Trump has
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: gotten us into... has made people perhaps a little bit
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: more reflective about what it means to put soldiers and
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: the military.
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: In harm's way.
- 1:03:45Speaker 16: You think it's almost brought it closer to home for us?
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: I think this Veterans Day will be somewhat different because
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: of that, yes.
- 1:03:52Speaker 10: Probably.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the world's a scary place right now,
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: and it's definitely not easy, so I imagine.
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: What's going on around the world definitely emphasizes what we
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: have here.
- 1:04:00Speaker 16: Now, you'll see hundreds, if not thousands, of uniformed military
- 1:04:04Speaker 16: members roaming around the city today because of the Veterans
- 1:04:08Speaker 16: Day parade. That includes Navy sailor Allison, a Long Island
- 1:04:13Speaker 16: native who has returned home for the first time since
- 1:04:17Speaker 16: going abroad, going overseas. She's got a message for anyone
- 1:04:21Speaker 16: who may not be thinking about Veterans Day.
- 1:04:24Speaker 25: Your support matters more now than ever. I think, you know,
- 1:04:27Speaker 25: you're seeing the younger generation become the most involved that
- 1:04:30Speaker 25: they have with politics this year. And I think because
- 1:04:33Speaker 25: of that, the military as well, us younger generation, we're
- 1:04:35Speaker 25: trying to come in and do just as much as
- 1:04:37Speaker 25: we can all the way down from the bottom. So
- 1:04:39Speaker 25: I think support matters more than ever. And I think
- 1:04:41Speaker 25: we appreciate everyone that does support us.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: Did you always want to do this?
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: I did.
- 1:04:45Speaker 9: My dad was a Marine.
- 1:04:46Speaker 25: So the second I got the opportunity to join the
- 1:04:48Speaker 25: Navy and travel the world, I enlisted.
- 1:04:50Speaker 16: Yeah, and there's a lot of legacy in that, right?
- 1:04:52Speaker 16: A lot of service members who I've spoken to over
- 1:04:55Speaker 16: the years when we do these types of interviews.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: It runs in the family. It's generational.
- 1:05:00Speaker 16: And some people who are just joining as well because
- 1:05:03Speaker 16: they're inspired to serve their country. Now, Allison gave me
- 1:05:06Speaker 16: a glimpse into her life in the forward deployed naval forces.
- 1:05:11Speaker 25: It means you don't get to come home during holidays,
- 1:05:13Speaker 25: you don't get to come home during birthdays, anything like that.
- 1:05:15Speaker 25: So It just means, you know, being able to put
- 1:05:17Speaker 25: in the hard work and, I guess, serve your country.
- 1:05:19Speaker 25: It crosses your mind every day thinking about how everyone's posting,
- 1:05:22Speaker 25: especially with social media, and you don't get to be there. But,
- 1:05:25Speaker 25: I mean, at the end of the day, you make
- 1:05:26Speaker 25: family with the people you work with.
- 1:05:28Speaker 16: And that's a lot of what I've experienced over the
- 1:05:30Speaker 16: years with people who I've interviewed. I remember a couple
- 1:05:34Speaker 16: months ago, I interviewed a veteran who was talking about
- 1:05:39Speaker 16: who he served with and how somebody had passed away
- 1:05:43Speaker 16: and he gets arrested. together wow my words with his
- 1:05:47Speaker 16: buddies from the armed forces and they honor that so there.
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: Is a lot of.
- 1:05:53Speaker 16: There's a lot of um separation between who people are
- 1:05:58Speaker 16: like what people are thinking and who is thinking about
- 1:06:02Speaker 16: what today but i think that allison's story was sort
- 1:06:06Speaker 16: of um It was just a little bit of insight
- 1:06:09Speaker 16: into what veterans sort of have to sacrifice, you know,
- 1:06:11Speaker 16: if they don't make the ultimate sacrifice just by sacrificing overseas.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you see the vets out there,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: they're always out there, Veterans Day and other patriotic occasions,
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: selling the red poppies. It commemorates the deaths of so
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: many Americans in World War I in Flanders. All that money,
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: I can assure you, goes to supporting veterans in their
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: time of need. So if you see them out there today,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Buy a little red poppy, whatever the donation, because it
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: really goes to a great cause.
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: I love the quote that that woman said at the
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: end that serves. She said, I'm making family with the
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: people I serve with. Yeah. And I can't imagine that
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: camaraderie when you're overseas going through a shared experience and
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: you know that not everybody in this country is supporting you.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: Those bonds last forever. Yep. And so, yes, God bless you.
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: Thank you for your service. And thank you to everybody
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: who is a veteran. And nice job, Natalie Migliore. I'll
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: be back tomorrow at 7.50. We'll talk about the new star,
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: Marco Rubio, after the 8 o'clock news. Well, you know
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: that Marco Rubio was in Paris for a G7 meeting.
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: None of the heads of state were there. It was
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: all foreign ministers. And that's important. And he had, of course,
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: private meetings with everybody. The thing to take away from this, however,
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: is that Marco Rubio is a global rock star. I mean,
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: they had press conferences. All the foreign ministers had press
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: conferences that were attended, but not highly attended. Marco Rubio,
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: the room was packed to find out what he was
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: going to say. And he spoke for about a half
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: an hour and he's, Excellent. I mean, he handles every
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: single question that is thrown with him perfectly, exactly the
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: way you would want him to handle it. He gives
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: a little bit of information, but not too much. The
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: big talk was about Ukraine, because he met with the
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: Ukrainian foreign minister yesterday. and the G7 counterpart, and they
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: had parallel talks at the same time with the Russians.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: And so they wanted to find out exactly what came
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: of that. Of course, he's going to say this. Our
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: goals are the same.
- 1:08:33Speaker 28: We want the war to end, and we want there
- 1:08:35Speaker 28: never to be a war again. So that requires not
- 1:08:38Speaker 28: just ending the war, but also ensuring that Ukraine never
- 1:08:41Speaker 28: again feels threatened for its security. We all share the
- 1:08:44Speaker 28: same goal.
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: So what he's saying is in these talks, and you
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: can figure this out on your own, but in these talks,
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: what he's saying is that Russia, it sounds like if
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: these peace talks go through, Russia is going to get
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: some territory. But in return, they have to make sure
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: that Ukraine is never threatened again. Does that mean joining NATO?
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: Does that mean that the United States has a base there?
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: That still has to be determined. But it was a
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: successful meeting. Of course, Iran came up.
- 1:09:16Speaker 28: Oh, I think Iran would love a deal. The problem
- 1:09:19Speaker 28: is the conditions they continue to place are absurd. Like,
- 1:09:21Speaker 28: they're not even serious right now. But that could change, certainly.
- 1:09:24Speaker 28: I mean, the pain that they're feeling is... Eventually you
- 1:09:27Speaker 28: have to eat. Eventually you have to be able to
- 1:09:28Speaker 28: pay your own fighters and your own security forces and
- 1:09:31Speaker 28: so forth. Eventually the economic realities penetrate the skull of
- 1:09:34Speaker 28: even the most radical lunatic.
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: Yeah, he defended constantly the Trump administration's diplomatic and sanctions
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: against Iran. And he said that the proposals that they're making,
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: he used two terms that made the news unacceptable and outrageous.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: So it doesn't sound like there's any deal in the offing.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: But as he said, it could change any day because
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: there's an economic stranglehold on them right now. He also
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: said something interesting yesterday. about the boats that are getting through.
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: He said we're getting through more than at any time
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: in the blockade right now, the oil ships that are
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: getting through. But he said that we're still having difficulty
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: with our NATO allies to help us with the blockade
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: because as long as there is any threat to their ships,
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: they don't want to get out there. As soon as
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: they're told they have the go-ahead, he says they're going
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: to be out there helping with the blockade. And one
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: last thing, Curtis, he did talk in general about the
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: Middle East.
- 1:10:37Speaker 28: Talk about all the instability in the Middle East. Houthis,
- 1:10:40Speaker 28: the militias in Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas, the civil war that
- 1:10:46Speaker 28: occurred in Syria that almost destroyed that country. What do
- 1:10:50Speaker 28: these things all have in common? Behind every single one
- 1:10:52Speaker 28: of these destabilizing activities in the Middle East, there's one
- 1:10:56Speaker 28: common denominator, the Iranian regime.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was his answer to the fact that
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: it's not just about Israel. This is the entire Middle East.
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: The destabilization of the Middle East is because of Iran.
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: And he also talked about how many American soldiers were killed.
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: But he is, as I said at the beginning, he
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: is a rock star. I mean, of the Trump administration,
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: I think he is the shining light. Now, he says
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: he's not going to run for president. He says he's
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: going to support J.D. Vance.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: But I wonder if that's going to change. Well, he's
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: not a rock star for me. In what you just said, oh,
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: all problems go to Iran. ISIS was at war with Iran,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: at war with us. We worked with Iran to extinguish ISIS.
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: But he didn't mention ISIS, did he?
- 1:11:45Speaker 14: No.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: No, but he said all problems lead to Iran. There
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: was a day that we were partners with Iran in
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: eradicating ISIS.
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: So his history is somewhat warped. But he didn't say ISIS.
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: So how is his history warped? No, he said Iran.
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: Iran did not create ISIS. We were at war with ISIS.
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: And you know who our allies were side by side sometimes?
- 1:12:07Speaker 11: Iran.
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: Iran. in liquidating ISIS. So because he left that out,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: you're saying that, oh my God, that was horrible. He
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: didn't even mention them.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: Not the rock star to me. When campaigning with Donald Trump,
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: he got on a bully pulpit in Texas and said
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Donald Trump was the greatest president of all time.
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: Big O, there's the real reason right there.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Well, again, I'd like you to explain that.
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: Greater than Washington, greater than Lincoln.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: Number two, he said Israel doesn't need our money any
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: longer to purchase weapons, which is the best thing that
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: can happen is like, let us sever this relationship with
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Israel now. The president has said no money January 1st.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: And Marco Rubio has been very pro-Israel, very pro-APAC, basically said, yeah, yeah,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: that's it. They got enough to purchase their own weapons.
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: But the one thing that he has not explained is
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: after Maduro was taken out, that was back almost like
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: January 3rd. Remember that amazing intervention?
- 1:13:13Speaker 14: U.S.
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: Forces went in.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: They came out. Maduro is now facing trial along with
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: his wife.
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: Amazing.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: And then Marco Rubio is in charge of the Western
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Hemisphere for the United States because he's not only the
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: Secretary of State, he's also the National Security Advisor for
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: President Donald Trump.
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: He wears two hats.
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: He said it's just a matter of days before Cuba
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: collapses because our naval blockade didn't allow a drop of
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: oil to go into Cuba, not even olive oil. How
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: have they survived since? Nobody brings, I would be the
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: first one to say, Mr. Secretary of State, you said
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: to us it would be regime change in Cuba. It
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: was just a matter of days and weeks. And yet
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: here it is. It's after the midterm elections.
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: And it's still functioning. Maybe barely.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: But they're still functioning. They're not capitulating. They're not negotiating
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: with us. Our CIA director went over there a few
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: months ago, Radcliffe. They repulsed him.
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: They said, nope. No, we're holding on.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: They wanted Raul Castro so they could put him in
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: a cell with Maduro. They wouldn't give up Raul Castro.
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: So I would say, Secretary of State, you told us
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: the blockade would work in Cuba.
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: Well, it's not over yet. But the biggest thing that
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: has happened in all of this that you're leaving out
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: of the equation is that China is now coming out
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: very publicly. Their foreign minister was over in China, coming
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: out very publicly saying, we support Cuba, we will do
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: anything we can to help Cuba, and we are against
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: any blockade, and we will keep fighting any blockade of Cuba.
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: So the fact that China has gotten so publicly involved,
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: they were always involved, but this is very public now,
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: it makes it a whole different problem. It escalates the problem,
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: at least diplomatically, especially because we want a better relationship
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: with China, and this may get in the way.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: Well, the president visits China next week for an economic conference.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: He'll be there with President Xi. We'll see. But Marco
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: Rubio was set to become the new president of Cuba.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: They had a government-in-waiting in southern Florida, promised an insurrection.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: Haven't seen anything.
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: Yeah, these things just don't happen quick enough for you. Well,
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: that's why I don't believe that these blockades economically strangle
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: a country to the point where they have to say
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: no mas, no mas.
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: Because Cuba, more so than Iran, should have been strangled.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: They have nothing.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: They're an island. Nothing coming in, nothing going out. Mexico
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: can't export to them. Obviously, Venezuela no more, not Red China,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: not anyone else.
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: So how are they surviving?
- 1:15:55Speaker 26: I don't know.
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: We'll do a deeper dive into the situation inside Cuba.
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: I don't have the answer for you just yet, but
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: I'm sure I can get that information. He should, though.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: Been able to do something, but maybe it was more
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: difficult than he would acknowledge because everything with the Trump
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: administration is, oh, it'll end tomorrow.
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: They'll capitulate. There'll be insurrection. There'll be regime change. Are
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: you for Cuba? What is your position on this? You
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: just want to say bad things.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: About the administration. We should have had an open relationship
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: with Cuba. We have an open relationship with Red China,
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: a communist country, right? But not with Cuba?
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: Does that make any sense? Yeah, it does to me.
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: I mean, Cuba has been anti-American since Castro got into office.
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: Cuba has been pro-Chinese and pro-Russia and basically a communist
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: country ever since they got in. No, I don't want
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: a good relationship with Cuba. I completely defend what the
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: administration has done. What harm can Cuba do to us? Seriously,
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: what harm? They can work as a– listen, we had
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: the Cuban Missile Crisis where missiles were going in there.
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: That was a long time. I understand that, but you
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: understand from that the situation we're in with Cuba so
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: close to our continent. and being great friends with our adversaries,
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: you understand that that's a big problem. If we can
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: get rid of that, we should try to get rid
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: of it. I've been to Cuba. Listen, you just don't
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: like anything this administration does. Because I don't buy the
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: propaganda crap from either the Democrats or Republicans. Oh, no,
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: you buy into the Democrats. You buy into everything the
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: Democrats say. You never challenge authority. Rubio was wrong on this.
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: He promised us there would be regime change. It wasn't
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: Rubio's call, by the way.
- 1:17:38Speaker 8: Yes, it was.
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: It was not. It was not Rubio's call. It's always
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: the president's call. Okay, so what happened? How are they
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: still operating? How are they still functioning? How fast do
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: you want these things to happen? No, no, no, blockade.
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: Are they a problem right now? Are they a problem?
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: They haven't been a problem since the Cuban missile crisis, Larry. Oh,
- 1:17:58Speaker 3: they have been. They have been. They have been the
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: root of drugs coming into our country for a long time.
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: The root of drugs. Maybe fentanyl, Larry?
- 1:18:10Speaker 22: Yes.
- 1:18:10Speaker 5: Oh, really?
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: Fentanyl came through Cuba. Like fentanyl is coming through Venezuela.
- 1:18:14Speaker 3: You don't think they made money on that? No, it
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: was coming through Venezuela. You're absolutely correct. But Cuba worked
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: with Venezuela. Like all the fentanyl that came through Canada
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: that Trump said, oh, fentanyl is coming through Canada. What
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: is wrong with you? Larry, it's all nonsense. No, it's
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: not all nonsense. It's all propaganda. Do you know how
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: many people died of fentanyl that you're saying is all propaganda? Oh,
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: and it came through Cuba. You're saying, no, I said
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: they helped. They helped. They were an adversary to the
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: United States. You don't buy that?
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: You couldn't be more hopelessly.
- 1:18:43Speaker 14: Wrong, Larry.
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: Are they an adversary or not? Then they can't feed
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: a fly now. Are they an adversary or not? No,
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: they're not an adversary. Then you're a liar.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: Because Marco Rubio said, oh, they're going to work with us.
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: We have a regime change taking place. Where is it, Larry?
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: You don't ask those questions because you just bowed to
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: the party that you support. I don't just bow to
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: the party I support. I think that many presidents wanted
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: to take out Cuba, and you have one that did.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: You have a guy that now has done things that
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: other presidents have said they were going to do, and
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: you have a problem with him because you have something
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: personal against him.
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: Iran.
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: That war in Iran. That was brilliant. One of the two.
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: That was brilliant. Bibi's war in Iran. That was brilliant, Trump.
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, a Long Island man accused of faking
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Purple Hearts, which is a real problem when we come
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: to Veterans Day and all the commemorations and the marches
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: in support of the vets. Stealing $ 81, 000.
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: From veteran groups. Plus a chance to see Tommy James
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: and the Shondells next. Brandon. Well, on this Veterans Day,
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: we honor all of the real veterans who serve this
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: country favorably and honorably. But there is one man in
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: Long Island that has been arrested.
- 1:19:54Speaker 5: He.
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: Was discharged from the U.S. Army, but he has falsely
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: cast himself as a decorated combat veteran and a prisoner
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: of war. And because of that, he was able to
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: steal tens of thousands of dollars from veterans organizations. He's
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: been prosecuted. Ray Tierney is the prosecutor. David Agstrabie, age 58,
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: is accused of receiving benefits and stealing money from the
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: American Legion by falsely portraying himself as the recipient of
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: two Purple Hearts when he had in fact received a
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: bad conduct discharge following a court martial conviction in 1988.
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: He was also getting veterans benefits. Every single cent of
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: that money. was taken out of another more deserving or
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: a deserving veterans pocket. That was Suffolk County District Attorney
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: Ray Tierney, who said during a news conference yesterday. This
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: guy is the most amazing scumbag you can ever see.
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: Listen to this. He's accused of obtaining a leadership position
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: in the Hampton Bays American Legion. Because he was such
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: a hero, they put him in there. And he stole
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: more than $ 81, 000 from the organization. The organization allegedly used
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: to pay for various personal expenses. This is what he
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: used it for. Various personal expenses, including Amazon purchases. residential
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: electric and cable bills, a private business membership program, streaming services,
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: travel and leisure, clothing and accessories, and other purposes. This
- 1:21:40Speaker 3: is all money that was supposed to go to veterans.
- 1:21:44Speaker 6: During the time he claimed to be a prisoner of war,
- 1:21:46Speaker 6: he was a prisoner. He was just a prisoner in
- 1:21:48Speaker 6: upstate New York for a grand larceny conviction. Yeah, so
- 1:21:52Speaker 6: he's going to be put away for a long, long
- 1:21:55Speaker 6: time because he's now charged with the very same thing.
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: You know... if it was just the false credentials alone
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: and he hadn't ripped off money, he could have run
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: for Senator like Blumenthal in Connecticut and been elected. You know,
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: the guy who supposedly served in Vietnam didn't even, couldn't
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: even find Vietnam on a national geographic map. So it
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: all ends up on how you fake it. But there are, unfortunately,
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: there are men and women out there who will wear
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: a ribbon, an honor that they didn't receive. And, It's
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: a felony crime. It's a felony crime to do so.
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people in the talkbacks want to
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: talk about Veterans and Veterans Day.
- 1:22:35Speaker 11: My father was a barber in Nutley, New Jersey, Joe Bono.
- 1:22:39Speaker 11: He was a famous barber, I must say. Anyway, when
- 1:22:43Speaker 11: a veteran would come in and get a haircut, he
- 1:22:45Speaker 11: would always say, and it didn't have to be Veterans Day,
- 1:22:48Speaker 11: thank you for your service and never charge them. I
- 1:22:52Speaker 11: think that's old school respect, and I think we need
- 1:22:55Speaker 11: to bring it back.
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 1:22:58Speaker 22: I would like to say Happy Veterans Day to all veterans,
- 1:23:02Speaker 22: but today especially our Vietnam vets, one of which was
- 1:23:06Speaker 22: my husband, Dominic, who passed away 17 years ago at
- 1:23:11Speaker 22: the age of 63 from Agent Orange cancer. So many
- 1:23:17Speaker 22: Vietnam vets have passed, and if they haven't passed, they're
- 1:23:21Speaker 22: very ill from the effects of Agent Orange cancer.
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Thank you for remembering not just
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: your husband, but all the others who served, who either
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: didn't come back or are suffering as a result since. 8.30,
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: let's get the news update from Daria.
- 1:23:37Speaker 15: Morning, guys. Sunny today with a high of 62 degrees.
- 1:23:40Speaker 15: It is Veterans Day, and the annual parade is being
- 1:23:42Speaker 15: held here in New York City. to honor those who
- 1:23:45Speaker 15: served our nation.
- 1:23:46Speaker 16: With more than 2 million Americans in uniform on active
- 1:23:49Speaker 16: duty or in reserve forces, this Veterans Day is being
- 1:23:52Speaker 16: marked amid an ongoing war with Iran.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: But I do think that this war that Trump has
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: gotten us into has made people perhaps a little bit
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: more reflective about what it means to put soldiers and
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: the military in harm's way.
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: It's very important to honor these folks. So if you
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: see veterans, we need.
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: To honor them.
- 1:24:11Speaker 16: What's considered the nation's largest Veterans Day commemoration marches up
- 1:24:15Speaker 16: Manhattan's 5th Avenue from East 26th to 48th Streets. Natalie Migliore,
- 1:24:22Speaker 16: WOR News.
- 1:24:22Speaker 15: Now there had been some confusion over whether Mayor Mamdani
- 1:24:25Speaker 15: was going to take part. Now City Hall says, yeah,
- 1:24:27Speaker 15: he's going to be in the parade. Mayor Trump will
- 1:24:30Speaker 15: deliver remarks at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Murder
- 1:24:33Speaker 15: charges for the suspect in the fatal stabbing of Brooklyn
- 1:24:36Speaker 15: jogger Katie Suarez, a grand jury indicting Syed Mohassib. Meanwhile,
- 1:24:41Speaker 15: residents are calling for better lighting on the path where
- 1:24:45Speaker 15: the attack took place and in other Brooklyn parks. The
- 1:24:48Speaker 15: impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on hold for now.
- 1:24:52Speaker 15: House Republicans are voting to refer articles that were submitted
- 1:24:56Speaker 15: by Kentucky GOP Thomas Massey to the Judiciary Committee.
- 1:24:59Speaker 29: Even talking to Republicans one by one, they were trying
- 1:25:02Speaker 29: to kind of talk through this. On one end, they
- 1:25:05Speaker 29: do acknowledge they have concerns about the war, how long
- 1:25:08Speaker 29: it's going to last. But on the other end, they
- 1:25:10Speaker 29: don't exactly want to see this impeachment effort move forward,
- 1:25:14Speaker 29: and certainly not before they hand over the keys to
- 1:25:16Speaker 29: the majority to Democrats.
- 1:25:18Speaker 15: ABC's Rachel Scott, the man who was convicted in the
- 1:25:22Speaker 15: 2023 stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, has
- 1:25:25Speaker 15: now been sentenced to 16 years to life in prison.
- 1:25:29Speaker 15: A jury found Nima Maneni guilty of second-degree murder in 2024.
- 1:25:33Speaker 15: Maneni's attorneys say they will appeal.
- 1:25:37Speaker 3: Next win, devil's loose. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once.

- 1:26:03Speaker 3: that psycho ex-cop that committed murder and was working at
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: a kid's school, an elementary school, has got other problems
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: that Curtis is going to tell us about. But first,
- 1:26:17Speaker 3: WOR has your hookup to hear from new music from

- 1:26:52Speaker 1: So Larry, update on Psycho Boy. He was at 100
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Skimahorn Street yesterday, indicted on murder charges of the Hispanic
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: woman who was running along the Bell Parkway, who eventually
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: perished from her wounds. You have teachers, you have paraprofessionals,
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: you have residents in the area who all joined together
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: in protest outside of PS 200, where he was a paraprofessional,
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: actually in class with children. He had been a police
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: officer for six months and decided, I'm leaving. Goes to
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: the USMC, the Marine Corps. They wash him out. Psychiatric disability.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: Comes back, says to the NYPD, I want to rejoin.
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: They said, no way. You have a psychological problem. And
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: so now he needs a job. Now, while he's at home,
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: he's threatening the family to chop him up into little pieces.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: They drag him away for a psychiatric observation. He then
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: kills the house pet. His sister certainly knew that. She's
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: living there.
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: Well, guess what?
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: She happened to be a paraprofessional at PS200. His aunt
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: was an assistant principal nearby. They probably went to their
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: friends in the Department of Education, dumbest organization ever that
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: weighs $ 44 billion of our money every year.
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: Say, hey, can you, you know, we got a relative.
- 1:28:15Speaker 3: Can you find a position?
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: So they hired him part-time as a paraprofessional, and then
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: they put him on full-time, even though there were 10
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: complaints internally from teachers and others in the school. They
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: said the guy is wigging out, he's coming in disheveled,
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: he's mumbling to himself, and nothing was done. And you
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: know what the Department of Education said yesterday? He went
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: through a complete background check, filled out our questionnaire oh
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: i'm sure he did but did you actually check on
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: his answers and the answer appears to be no what
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: a disgrace no it's a.
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: Disgrace to the department of education that they allowed him
- 1:28:53Speaker 3: anywhere near children i agree with you we got a
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: another crazy person from new york i'd It seems like,
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: and I don't know what the immigration status is of
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: this gentleman that you're talking about, but the immigration status
- 1:29:08Speaker 3: of somebody that tried to hijack a plane out of
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: Newark is that he's here illegally. But in this story
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: is just, wait till you hear all the details of it.
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: This was a plane leaving from Newark International to New Orleans.
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: It was United Flight 2174. There were a total of
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: 52 people on board, six crew members. 46 passengers. And
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: out of nowhere, the plane at around 9.30 on two
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: nights ago, around 9.30 at night, the pilot sends out
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: a level four threat alert. That is the highest alert
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: that can be sent out. And he reported a hijacking.
- 1:29:53Speaker 3: Now here's what happened. This out of control passenger who
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: barely spoke English any in English, except he could say
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: the word hijack, tried to get up to the front
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: of the plane. Now, before he went up to the
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: front of the plane, the flight attendants noticed that he
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: put on all black, put on all black, and then
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: walked up and tried to get in the cockpit. And
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: I will tell you this, you know, your flight attendants, man,
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: the flight attendants are your security more than the pilot's.
- 1:30:29Speaker 3: More than anybody else, they are your security. They were
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: able to, this is a crazy man now, spoke little English.
- 1:30:37Speaker 3: He is from the Bronx. He's 34 years old. in
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: the country illegally. He's trying to get into the cockpit.
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: He claims he has a bomb. And these flight attendants
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: were able to talk him down, talk him into the
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: back of the plane where he sat down. And what's
- 1:30:56Speaker 3: amazing about this story is not only the job they did,
- 1:30:59Speaker 3: putting themselves in danger, talking this guy down as they
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: locked the cockpit doors so nobody could possibly get in
- 1:31:06Speaker 3: there for a hijacking. But then all of the passengers
- 1:31:11Speaker 3: that got off the plane said they had no idea
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: this was happening. They never heard anything. There was reporters
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: there saying, what about the hijacking? What did you see?
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: They were like, what hijacking? That's how good these flight
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: attendants were.
- 1:31:26Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: And by the way, he was in Honduran illegal. But
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: you look at his mugshot, he looks like a jihadist.
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: He's got the beard and everything, the crazed eyes. He
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: snuck in through Texas 2011.
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: We sent him back.
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: He snuck in then through New Mexico 2014.
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: We sent him back.
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: He snuck in in an area you know well, Larry,
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: I know well, San Ysidro, which separates San Diego from
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: San TJ Tijuana, 2019, we sent him back.
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: He's living in the Bronx, as you said.
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: He's got a long rap sheet, and yet he was
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: able to get on this flight to New Orleans from
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: Newark and cause all kinds of havoc. You don't remember
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: there was a program. I got to do a deep dive.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: The air marshals, you know, after the hijackings to Cuba,
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: JFK put him into effect. I ran into one air
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: marshal one time. I wonder if they've replenished the many
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: who've retired. We never hear about them anymore.
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: That's a great question. Hey, listen, when we come back,
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: not only are we going to talk about the election
- 1:32:27Speaker 3: results still not in from Mississippi and Alaska, but we
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: have just two more talkbacks left from veterans. You want
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: to play them? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, let's get to them.
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: That's when we come right back. Well, you've been great
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: today with your talk back. So many of them about veterans,
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: both that you knew and maybe some of the people
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: that were veterans. We really appreciate it. So we have
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: one last one. Now, we're saving one other one because
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: it's going to be the talk back of the morning.
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: But we want to make sure on this Veterans Day,
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: we get to everyone that wants to talk about veterans.
- 1:33:05Speaker 13: Happy Veterans Day, everyone. When I was looking for a
- 1:33:09Speaker 13: house in Pennsylvania, I met up with someone that was
- 1:33:13Speaker 13: a vet. We got to talking. Now, every year on
- 1:33:17Speaker 13: Veterans Day, I call him up just to say hi.
- 1:33:21Speaker 13: He's a total stranger, but he's a vet, and I
- 1:33:23Speaker 13: call to thank him.
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: That's wonderful. By the way, today, anybody that's a veteran
- 1:33:29Speaker 3: that you know, you should be thanking. Absolutely.
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: So remember, the difference Veterans Day, honor all those who've
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: served peacetime, wartime, Memorial Day, never say happy Memorial Day.
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: That's to commemorate those who died in battle to preserve
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: all freedom. But definitely do as Larry had just encouraged
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: you to do, even if you can't go to a
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: commemoration or the parade here in New York City that
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: starts at 1230 up Fifth Avenue.
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be all the time, not just Veterans Day.
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: We should be thanking people all of the time. Well,
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: Alaska and Mississippi still doesn't have their votes counted. Up
- 1:34:08Speaker 3: in Alaska, it's amazing. Every time they're interviewed, they say
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: the same thing that gentleman said the other day. This
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: is just the way we do it up here. They're
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: not going to be rushed.
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: Slow and easy, he said. And it went from, what, 75%
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: of the total vote counted down to 74%. We still
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: haven't figured out how they do their mathematical tabulations.
- 1:34:33Speaker 3: It's now up to 84%. Oh, 84%. Wow. Major jump.
- 1:34:36Speaker 3: Let me give you what we have right now. Mary Peltola. Boy,
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer does not want her to win now because
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: she's going to be against him as Speaker 24.
- 1:34:47Speaker 5: 118,926.
- 1:34:47Speaker 3: Dan Sullivan, the real Dan Sullivan, 114,676. So listen to that.
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: She's pulling away. Because it was within 1,000 votes, it
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: was a few hundred votes. Now it's about 3,000 votes,
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: a little bit under 3,000 votes. And the fake Dan Sullivan,
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: his total's going up, too, to 4,027. So if Peltola
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: needs those votes.
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: They're probably going to become because of the fraud that
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: was committed up there from Daniel J. Sullivan. The best
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: thing that can happen to Mary Peltola is that she
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: wins this on her own. Because if she doesn't, Well,
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: then it's going to be in the courts for a
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: long time.
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: That's for sure. And by the way, you are right.
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer will be dancing the horror. And he's going
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: to be upset if the African-American candidate for the Democratic
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: Party for Medea column wins in Mississippi. They've now nearly
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: tallied up 3,000 of the votes that are affidavits and absentee.
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: They still got a ways to go. But if this
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: gentleman wins... He's got a grudge against Schumer. A month ago,
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: when nobody gave him a chance at all to beat
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: the sitting Republican senator in Mississippi, he had a delegation
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: of esteemed African-Americans from Mississippi went and met personally with
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer in D.C. He said, look, Chuck, look, our
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: internal polls. Look, we got a real chance to win this.
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: And Chuck looked at them and said, no, you don't.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: I'm not giving you anything. I'm sorry. I'm not giving
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: you anything.
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: So if he gets elected, not only you have Patola
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: who will vote against Chuck Schumer being the majority leader
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: of the Senate, but Collum, who would definitely vote no
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: because of how he got dissed and dismissed. That would
- 1:36:38Speaker 3: mean all eight of the new senators for the Democratic
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: Party would vote against him. You add Sanders to that,
- 1:36:47Speaker 3: Senator Sanders. There's enough that he would not win.
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be close. We'll see what kind
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: of subterfuge Chuck Schumer and his files do against those
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: who may be vacillating. Anyway, today was an outstanding tribute
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: to all of our veterans. We heard so many heartfelt
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: messages from our listeners. This talk back in particular sums
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: up why taking a moment to thank a veteran matters
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: so much.
- 1:37:19Speaker 14: On this Veterans Day, I think about the two billion
- 1:37:21Speaker 14: people on this planet who live in freedom in large
- 1:37:24Speaker 14: measure because of the efforts of the U.S. military down
- 1:37:27Speaker 14: through the years. That's an extraordinarily noble achievement. And yet
- 1:37:32Speaker 14: when you ask a service member about what they do,
- 1:37:35Speaker 14: their answer is self-effacing. I was just doing my job.
- 1:37:40Speaker 25: Amazing.
- 1:37:42Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what else they say, too, which I love?
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: It's my favorite quote from veterans. If not me, who?
- 1:37:48Speaker 6: Hmm.
- 1:37:48Speaker 3: Because if I don't go, who's going to take my place?
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: Who's going to do the job?
- 1:37:52Speaker 14: Correct.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: Oh, man, that was an outstanding way to pull it all,
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: put it all into effect. So that's our Talk Back
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: in the Morning. And winner of the Curtis Lee and
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: Larry Menti in the Morning T-shirt and in the running
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: for Talk Back of the Week, who will win a

- 1:38:16Speaker 3: even though you say you don't.
