• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And good morning to you. Hope you're having a great morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I came in today, Curtis, and I'm sure
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: this is going to be something you're interested in. I
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: came in today and I got this package from PETA.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And apparently the PETA people are going to protest at
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Radio City Music Hall because of their use of live animals,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: especially camels. It says, I am not a prop. These
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: are actually Christmas ornaments they have. with a camel that says,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I am not a prop. And I got this and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I rolled my eyes. I'll be serious with you. I
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: rolled my eyes because I just thought to myself, PETA,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, are they relevant anymore? Because I thought PETA
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: had its moments. I remember when I was at Eyewitness News,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I did a whole thing on calves being used for
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: for veal. And I stopped eating veal ever since then.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We did a big report on it. We did a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: big special report on it. And it was all because
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: they sent me a video showing the calves mistreatment. They
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: went undercover. Remember when they used to go undercover and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: show all that stuff? And I thought, wow, what a
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: great organization. And then they got crazy. They went through
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: this period where they were throwing blood or they were
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: throwing red paint on furs, just trying to get attention.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: They'd show up in Hollywood. Somebody will be coming out
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: in an expensive fur and they'd throw this.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Red paint on them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And I think that they just lost their mojo after that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And I said that to you. I came in and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, are you a big supporter of PETA?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And you said, yeah, absolutely. And I said, well, they just,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I rolled my eyes when I saw this
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: because I remember how powerful they were. And I remember
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the story they gave me and thinking to myself, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: haven't eaten veal since. But they've lost it. I mean,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't even, you know, I know they're there, but
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: they're not that big anymore. And you said to me,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: are you kidding me? They're bigger than ever, which I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: thought was not true because I don't see them on
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the news anymore. I never hear about them anymore. So,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of course, I went to my favorite research, AI, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: this is what it says. Yes, the people for the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: ethical treatment of animals is financially larger and more active
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: than it has ever been in history. I think I'm
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: not alone. I think that piece of information is going
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to be shocking to a lot of people because they're
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: not in the headlines anymore. There's no more news stories
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: about them anymore. They aren't doing some of the stuff
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they did in the past, including the throwing of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: blood and the paint, and then also saying, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they have to get rid of the furs, and so
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: they had all these naked bodies. showing that you strip
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: your furs, you know, strip everything that's made of animals.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And they've seemed nuts for a while. But whoever's taken
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: over now apparently has done a good job. You educated
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: me that everything you see in the globe about unfair
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: treatment to animals, they're behind, but they just take a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: back seat.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That's brilliant. Well, let's see, because this is a new
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: venture for them. Going against the camels, and I'm not
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: talking about the cigarettes. You know, I walk a mile
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: for a camel. The actual camel, whether it's a dromedary
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: one hump or the two humped ones. Will El Said
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: appear in defense of camels? Because, you know, he's of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Egyptian origin. Or will he realize, no, no, this is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: part of my progressive coalition. I don't want to enrage them.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But you are absolutely correct. You know where this goes
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: back to? And a lot of our listeners remember it
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: because it was incomprehensible. Bob Barker, the host of The
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Price is Right, veteran, you know, tough guy. Nobody can
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: black belt. You don't want to mess with Bob Barker.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: He was a hardcore vegan. And if he saw you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: wearing fur out where he lived in Hollywood, he would
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: condemn that. He'd run down Rodeo Drive screaming, take that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: fur off. He became their role model. But they figured
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we got to do something really extreme. I call it
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: because every group has gone through this stage when they're
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: first being birthed. It's the splash and then dash. You
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: make a big splash and then there's no organizing and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: mobilizing afterwards. You got a headline and then you do
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a dash because you don't want to be arrested. You
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: don't want to be served civilly, you know, because then depositions,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you got a lawyer up. So they were under the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: cover of darkness sometimes. They would commit these vandal acts.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And I think they realized it sort of ran out,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know, ran out of gas. After a while, their
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: donors would say, okay. And what do you have to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: show for it?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And they became the villains. People felt sorry for the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: people in the furs. It was exactly the opposite that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: they thought was going to happen. And that's why I
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: thought that they weren't relevant anymore. But you told me that, no,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: they were behind.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: The horse carriages in Central Park. I'll give you the update.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: They decided, OK, we've got to form coalitions because we're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: considered to be the loony kazoonies. We're considered to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the crazies of the animal welfare movement. There were animal
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: welfare people didn't want to have anything to do with them. Say, no,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: if they come to our demonstration, it'll taint it. They'll
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: steal the limelight. People will think it's a PETA demonstration.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So they started working in coalitions and they would always
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: take a step back. So they'd be part of the crowd.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They would bring some of their supporters. They had their
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: PETA shirts on. But the leaders would not demand to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: be up at the podium, you know, like politicians. We
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: must speak. Why must you speak? Because you know who
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I am? Yeah, who are you? So the PETA people understood, no, no, no, no.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: If they invite you to come up and speak on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: behalf of the organization, quick, swiftly, to the point, don't
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: say anything totally off the hook. And so now these
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: coalitions started forming, and they said, wow, what happened to PETA?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: They've matured. They like to say that in the movement.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They've matured. So they'll show up. They'll be at the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: back of the line. They have been successful with other groups.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You know, the fashion shows always had fur. The fashionistas
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in Milan and Paris and New York that set the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: trends would always have furriers involved at some point of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: their fashion week. Well, in coalition with so many other groups,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they've done away with furs in the New York Fashion Week.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: They've done away with furs in the Paris Fashion Week.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The only ones left are Milan, and they're just about
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: ready to say no mas, no mas, because they come
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in with huge numbers. And then PETA takes a back step. Right, exactly.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You didn't hear about PETA in any of the things
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you're talking about.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Which is brilliant on their part. Let me tell you
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: how much they've grown now. They now have more money
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: than they've ever had before. They have $ 124 million in
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the bank. And now they have 10.4 million members, which
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: is bigger than they ever were. And that's what you
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: get when you're not crazy. When people can believe in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: your cause and you don't embarrass them for believing in
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the cause.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Crazy got them the headlines. So you remember, what is PETA?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. But that video
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you're referring to that they first put out where you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: see the mama cow delivering the calf and right away
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: they take the calf away. They'll throw it in the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: back of a truck, never to be seen. And the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: cow is crying and running towards the truck. that caused
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: many people no longer to eat veal like yourself. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, if you went into an Italian-American community, Larry,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they tell you, what's up? If you were in a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Sopranos episode, you're not eating a veal parmesan? What are
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you giving to Peter?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: The mistreatment of the calves goes beyond just taking them away.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Then they don't want them to have any muscle structure.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So they make them stand by themselves for months and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: months and months.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Until they slaughter them. And then we eat veal. Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And guess what? I'm on my way January 1st. This
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: will be my new year's resolution. I will be a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: full-scale vegan. A full-scale vegan. What does that mean exactly?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: What can't you eat? Well, Nancy is going through the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: whole list now, and I'm looking at it, and I'm like,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what can I eat? Start easy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Start light.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But I understand. We have a culinary delight that will
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: partly get me there this morning.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I will help you get there.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Maybe we'll get you to be an ovo-lacto-vegetarian to start out,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: where you can have eggs and dairy.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, daria, daria. Bring me in, bring me in. Over-lacto. Ovo-lacto.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: So I'm bringing you some spanakopita this morning.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Ooh.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: From the St. Anthony's International Festival.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: That's my church in Bergenfield, New Jersey, which we're having
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: this Friday and Saturday. And I wanted you guys to
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: get a taste of what we're going to do. So
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: the best way to describe spanakopita, and I hope I
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: don't upset my fellow Greek here, it's a Greek strudel.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: It's a savory Greek strudel.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: No meat. No meat in it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: No.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: No eggs.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: Spinach.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: It does have eggs.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: It does have eggs.
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: And cheese.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You can't eat it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: We're going to ease into it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: I'm working my way.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: We're going to ease into it. By the time Greek
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Lent begins, you'll be vegan.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: That's right. Greek Lent.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You'll be vegan.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: And then you can do it with me and we'll
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: both be miserable.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: To deal with.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I love a festival.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I love a good one.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, and this is a good one. This sounds amazing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: This is a good one because we are a pan-Orthodox church,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: which means we have Greek food? Middle Eastern food, Slavic food,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: and Latin American food because a lot of converts from
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Latin American heritages have become Orthodox. So you can get spanakopita,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: You can have a little bit of kielbasa and sauerkraut.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: And we have really good podogies. I know you and
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I are both part Polish.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: We have good podogies there. You could have grape leaves.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: You could have arroz con pollo. And you could chase
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: it with a Russian bug.
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: This is crazy.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: This is amazing.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. And it's called spanakopita?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Spanakopita. That is one of the things that we are
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: known for.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You allegedly have some for us? Where is it?
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: I'm going to heat it up for you right now.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I'm going to heat it up for you right now.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: It's phyllo dough with lots of butter. So it is
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: not vegan.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Lots of butter.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: It's got a filling that's made with spinach and ricotta cheese.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: And we put feta in ours. I know some people
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: don't put feta in theirs. Put a little bit of
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: dill in ours as well.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: It's flaky. It's golden.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: And I eat it for breakfast sometimes. You can eat
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: it any time of day. I know people are going
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to be asking, can you just tell us where this
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: is going to be?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: This is going to be at St. Anthony Orthodox Church.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: We're located at 385 Ivy Lane in Bergenfield, New Jersey,
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: northern New Jersey. Not far at all from here. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: by the way, we have a lot of listeners to WOR.
• 11:12
  Speaker 12: Good.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: So I wanted to say hi to Jackie and to
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Leslie because I know they're listening.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I also have some sweets for you guys too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And it starts Friday, right?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: It starts Friday, 11 o'clock to 10 o'clock, Friday and Saturday.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
• 11:23
  Speaker 13: Join us.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I'll be at the bar. Come say hi.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the alleged food that you have.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I'll be bringing it in.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Darian. Taught you in the news.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Well, when we come back, there is a huge online
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Springsteen fan club that is now disbanding.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Guess why? Over politics. Plus a chance to see.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Tommy James and the Shondells at 825. Curtis, I used
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to be a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. I've probably seen
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: him in concert a dozen times. And I used to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: talk about Springsteen on the air here, and people were
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: so disappointed in me that I liked Springsteen. But recently,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I can't deal with it anymore. I mean, I like
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: his old songs. I'll play some of his old songs.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to buy... His new albums are awful anyway.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to buy any of his new albums.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to see him in concert anymore. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people feel that way about him.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And now there is an online group that has broken up.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It was one of the biggest online Springsteen groups that
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: were out there. And they are now breaking up, not
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: only because they disagreed with his past stances, but they
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: could deal with that. Some of the past stances they
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: could deal with. It was when he endorsed El Saeed.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that's when it went a little bit too far. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: so their group is now, it's 18,000 online, and they
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: got all of these hateful messages they said, and now
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: they're gone. They're called the Spring Nuts, and that is
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the name of the group. And the founder, Julie and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Howie Chaz, say the Spring Nuts Facebook fan club, they're
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: disbanding the group, writing that as proud Jews, they found
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the endorsement of Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed deeply disturbing, and that
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: they found some of the comments that fans had been
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: leaving on the page in response to that win vile
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and hateful. And let me tell you something. This is
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the new world we live in. This goes beyond Springsteen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: It goes beyond most politics. There are these deep, I'll
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: say anti-Zionist, but also anti-Semitic feelings that are now coming
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: out and rising to the top and to the point
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: where here is a page that is just a fan
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: club that is filled with that file to the point
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: where they feel like They can't even continue.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to use synergy between our first segment and this.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Is this the straw that broke the camel's back? Ah,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: very good. I'd like to also know, how did that
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: statement ever come about? This is the straw that broke
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the camel's back. Well, first off, straw can't break a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: camel's back. I understand. But in retaliation to this, a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: new page is going up this morning. And it's being
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: put up by Shamu El Hefe Chris Christie, the number
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: one sycophantodian lackey who has been dissed and dismissed by
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Bruce many, many times. And it's Chris Christie who's traveled
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: all over the world to do the Jigga Wiggle. And
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he's saying, I stand with you, Bruce and the E
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Street Band. Come join my nut brigade here.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. He's running for president again. It's very
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: obvious he's running for president. He was up in New
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Hampshire yesterday. And he's going to now run as the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: anti-Trump candidate. You know, I never liked the guy. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: hated the guy, which is such a lie. I happen
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to know he was begging for a job. And Jared
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Kushner just played with him because he put his dad
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: in prison and put him in shackles and put him
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: in front of the press. So every time he wanted
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a new job, attorney general, all the way down to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: running some special committee, he was turned down. But Trump
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: told him he had to come in and be interviewed
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: by Jared Kushner. And every single time he had to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: sit there and be humiliated. That's why he's so upset
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: with Trump. No other reason.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: To the two who were in charge of nuts for Springsteen,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: what was that website? It's called Spring Nuts. Okay. They
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: identified themselves as Jews. Let me tell you something, the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: two of you, you got to deal with your own tribe. 60%
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of Jews voted for El-Said in Michigan. Don't be lecturing us,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the Gentiles. Deal with your own truck.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not lecturing anybody. They're just dealing with a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: lot of hate on their site, and all they had
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: was a Springsteen site, but now it's turned political, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I think they made the right move.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Want to talk back? Yes, of course.
• 16:19
  Speaker 14: When the Empire strikes back, Han Solo is about to
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: be frozen in carbonite, and Chewbacca freaks out. He tries
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: to protect hands. And Han tells Chewbacca, he says, Chewie,
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: there'll be another time. And when it comes to the
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: Democrats and the Republicans, yep, the Democrats struck back and
• 16:37
  Speaker 14: they hit us last week. But don't worry, there'll be
• 16:40
  Speaker 14: another time. The Republicans will rise again like a phoenix
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: from the ashes.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That was brilliant.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: It wasn't?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It was really good. That was. Boy, I'll call us
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. It is so good. So good,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: so creative. I always love a Star Wars analogy, too.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I always love that. And he's right. Politically, in history,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: when you're down and out and the phoenix will rise
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: from the ashes, it always happens. Yeah, look at Obama.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: He got killed in the midterms, and he came back
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: strong both times. Now, let's get the news with the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: person who just gave us food, and we.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Love very much Daria Albinger. Daria, thank you for the food.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: You are so welcome, and I love you guys too,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: but you're not going to like what I'm about to
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: tell you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Mostly sunny and breezy. That's the good part of the forecast.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: High 61 degrees. Also pretty good. Here's what's not so good.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: We could see the first snowflakes of the season by
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: this weekend.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: All right, now I'm not crazy.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Of course, I'm glad because everybody can come to the
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: festival because it's not going to be a day.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: With the first wintry weather in the forecast, it's only
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: a matter of time before we see the first real
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: snowfall of the season. And Mayor Mom Donnie says the
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: city is going to be prepared. He's pumped $ 25 million
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: more into the effort for this coming year. for everything
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: from warming centers, homeless outreach, and, of course, snow removal.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: The 119th Congress could end with impeachment proceedings. House members
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: are now reviewing articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. President
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Trump says he's going to do everything he can to
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: stop them. He says Hegseth should be praised. He should
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: not be impeached. The suspect in the fatal stabbing of
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: a Brooklyn jogger will be in court today. Syed Mohassib
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: was working as a teacher's aide in New York City schools.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: despite being discharged from the military for psychiatric reasons. The
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: FDA is warning people who use GLP-1 drugs, and that
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: is a growing group of people, of a risk of
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: a potentially serious eye condition.
• 18:40
  Speaker 15: It's called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NIA. It's
• 18:45
  Speaker 15: a rare condition that can lead to permanent vision loss.
• 18:49
  Speaker 15: It's caused by a decrease in blood flow to the
• 18:51
  Speaker 15: optic nerve. Manufacturers of Osempic, Wigovi, Munjaro, Zepound, and other
• 18:56
  Speaker 15: GLP-1 drugs will now have to put a warning on
• 18:59
  Speaker 15: their labels. They've said there's no proof of cause and effect.
• 19:03
  Speaker 15: Tying this vision risk to their weight loss and diabetes drugs.
• 19:07
  Speaker 15: Sarah Lee Kessler, WOR News.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: They say that means it's especially important to get your
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: eye exams if you're taking one of these medications. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the Piano Man will be back on stage for the
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: first time since he announced he was being treated for
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: a rare brain condition. However, you're going to have to
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: go a little bit of a distance if you want
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: to see him. He's going to do a one-night show
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: at Florida Atlantic University. The Rangers and the Islanders lost.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: on 710WOR.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Daria. When we come.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Back, Pete Hegseth has officially been hit with articles of impeachment.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And he is not going to go down without a fight.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when we come back. But first,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I do want to talk more about LifeVac, because I
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: have another story for you. A LifeVac device helped save
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a three-year-old's life in Hamilton County after he ate a
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: piece of candy. He was at daycare, and they happened
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: to have a LifeVac handy. LifeVac, I'm telling you, needs
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: to be in all schools. City Council picked this up
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a little while ago in New York City. I'm not
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: sure why they didn't do it, but it should be
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: in all New York City schools because choking can happen
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: at any time. It seems to happen to children more
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: than anybody else. And when it does happen, seconds matter.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: That's why you have to have a LifeVac nearby. LifeVac
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: be used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: been followed without success. They tried to Heimlich here in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: in Hamilton County. They tried to clear the throat with
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: their fingers.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: It didn't work.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Luckily, they had a LifeVac, and they saved a life.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac not only saved that life.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: They saved over 7,000 worldwide. That's not just a number.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Those are real people like the child in Chattanooga. Preparedness matters.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Having the right tool nearby can make all the difference
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: in the world. Learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: That's LifeVac.net. Just go ahead and visit LifeVac.net and you
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: can see for yourself how you can be ready the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: next time it counts.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it's already started.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: The Democrats haven't even been sworn in and articles impeachment
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: have been introduced, but not by a Democrat, by disgruntled
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky. Remember when he turned on
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Trump and Trump said, that's okay, I'm just going to
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: go in and campaign against you. And he said, that's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: all right. I win by 20 points. He'll cost me 10.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I'll still win. Well, he got trounced. So he's leaving.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: But before he leaves, he's got to dump this stinkpot
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: before he leaves, he's introduced eight articles of impeachment against U.S.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, setting up a mandatory, mandatory floor
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: vote in the House of Representatives as early as this week.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: That may happen.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And Massey, of course, he was glowing. He He got
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to get on CNN. He got to get on MSNOW
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and talk about it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: We're not indicting him for being bad at his job.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: In fact, he was very effective at killing school children
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There's
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So Hakeem Jeffries, who is going to probably be the
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: new Speaker of the House, said he's a hard yes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 16: In front of us right now. is the Hegseth impeachment resolution.
• 22:57
  Speaker 16: I'm a hard yes, as I've made clear, on the
• 23:01
  Speaker 16: impeachment resolution.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: And even Republican senators, especially the disgruntled one like Tom Tillis,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: like John Cornyn and Tom Tillis, they're going to consider
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: it as well.
• 23:13
  Speaker 17: Clearly, there are people who I respect who feel that
• 23:17
  Speaker 17: he's done a very poor job, and if he's the
• 23:19
  Speaker 17: one that gave the president the guidance... that we could
• 23:22
  Speaker 17: be out of the Iranian war in five weeks. That
• 23:24
  Speaker 17: was an incredible misjudgment. But that's what will be presented
• 23:28
  Speaker 17: before the House, and then we'll consider it in the Senate.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Well, look, the defense secretary is not going to back
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: down at all on this. And remember, there's a Republican
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: majority right now in the Senate. If it goes there,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: they probably wouldn't even take it up. So it'll be
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: reintroduced next year. But Hegseth, as always, is defiant.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Just like the president. We don't back down, and that
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: especially applies now.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: He's going to have a news conference a little bit
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: later today. Curtis, that's going to be must-see television. Oh,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: and must play tomorrow on our show. Yes, absolutely. He
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: will not forsake you, Larry. He will come out with
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: a verbal Gatling gun. This is where he's vulnerable. He
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: prosecuted the war to the command of the commander-in-chief. He
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: did not order the military to do things without the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: permission of the president. So you lose on that issue.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: You don't like his personality. Oh, that's not articles of impeachment.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: But where you.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Will find Republicans coming on board, especially senators, and this
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: hasn't been defined a lot. It won't be over DEI
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: refusing to promote blacks or women within the military ranks
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: or trying to eliminate them. It won't be over that,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: although that'll be one of the articles of impeachment. It'll
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: be over the fact that well-respected men in command in
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon were released because they disagreed with the Secretary
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: of War. And they... Had a wealth of experience and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: they had reached over both sides of the aisle. So
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: they were well respected by both Democrat senators and Republican senators. Now,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: this round, there won't be that kind of testimony.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's for Massey.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: What you just mentioned is not one of the articles
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: of impeachment this time around.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: But the next time we have committee hearings and interrogations
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and open hearings. you will see some of the most
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: respected men in our era, in the Pentagon, who have
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: no blemishes, who will probably be asked to come forward
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and testify what went on behind closed doors with you
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and the Secretary of War that led to your demise.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: You are an honorable man. You had served us so well.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: What went on?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: And that might be the Achilles heel. I'm not sure.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I would have to look this up, but I'm not sure...
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: a secretary in the cabinet firing underlings is an impeachable offense.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that is. I mean, you have to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: do something egregious. Here are the eight articles right now.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Waging an unauthorized military hostility in Iran, Yemen, and Venezuela
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: without congressional authorization.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That's not going to go anywhere.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Ignoring a House directive to remove forces from Iran. That's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: not going to go anywhere because the Constitution says that
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: can happen. Dismantling civilian harm mitigation infrastructures tied to civilian
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: deaths in Iran. That's got a possibility. Extrajudicial maritime strikes, maybe.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Retaliating against Senator Mark Kelly and the capture of Venezuelan
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: leader Nicolas Maduro. I think in that eight, there's one
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: that has some legs.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: But I think this is just a preliminary thing for Massey. Yes, exactly.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: The next round will be more intense. And I do
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: predict that there will be two thirds of the Senate
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: that will go for his impeachment. And at that point,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I think the president will have the discussion with Hegseth.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's best to find another place. In my administration
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and begin your own political career because he's always wanted
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to run for office.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting because they're going to need
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: two thirds of the Senate. And right now the count
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: is that there are six senators that are not committing
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to it. but are saying that it's possible. I mean,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: they don't have a no vote. Most of them do.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I think we can agree he will not learn from
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the Dale Carnegie course of how to win friends and
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: influence people between that time because he's going to meet
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: with them privately. But let's see how this plays out. Anyway,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: up next, we're going back to what, Cranberry Sauce? No, no, Cranberry,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, because the intrigue. Of losing, what, 29?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Well, the little township of Cranberry in New Jersey in
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Middlesex County has made national news now because I think
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are trying to figure out how
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a township with a $ 16 million budget lost $ 26 million.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: In a fraudulent wire transfer. Now, they got some of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: it back.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: The FBI came in and was able to freeze some
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: of the funds, so they were able to freeze $ 17 million.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: But that means $ 9 million are still missing. And the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: people of Cranberry, of course, are furious about this, especially
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: because the mayor, Lisa Nierum, and the town council, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the police chief all kept this from them. This happened
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: last month. well before the election. And then they had
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the election, and right after the election results, right after
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: the Democrats swept the township council, and Mayor Neerum got re-elected,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: then they came out and said, oh, guess what? Something
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: we should have told you, I guess, a few weeks ago,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: but we lost $ 26 million. You can imagine the residents
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: in Cranberry are furious.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Now, I want to warn you about something.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: So, You're used to city council meetings and town hall
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: meetings when people are yelling and screaming. Something about Cranberry
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: you should know. It's a quaint little township. and so
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the average salary in the country is $ 80, 000 or $ 70, 000,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: something like that. The average salary in Cranberry Township is $ 220, 000.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: So it's a well-to-do township, so you're not going to
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: hear a lot of screaming in But they packed the
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Township Hall to the point where they had people waiting
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: in the hallways and listening in. And here's a little
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: bit of it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 18: To discover that millions have vanished under your watch is
• 30:13
  Speaker 18: both shocking and entirely unacceptable.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: President Harry Truman famously said, the buck ends here.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I respectfully want to tell the Township Committee that the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: buck really should stop with you all. So the mayor was,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: you know, reading a statement the entire time. I think
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: she's been lawyered up because there's a possibility of legal
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: action in all of this. And she lost taxpayers money.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: And so she, again, was reading very quietly to the crowd.
• 30:42
  Speaker 19: Your anger is valid.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Your fear is valid.
• 30:44
  Speaker 17: And your confusion, frustration and disappointment are valid.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: And you deserve the opportunity to express those emotions, to
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: ask difficult questions, and most importantly, to be heard.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: What the hell was that? What is that? Oh, guess what?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Your feelings are valid. Your feelings, I understand.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: And guess what? You have the right to express how
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: you feel. Yeah, that's in the Constitution.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: What happened? There were no answers about what happened to
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the money. Well, you know something, Larry? You were right.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: really zeroing in on that because this is going to
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: happen more and more. Look at what's happening upstate. Kathy
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Hochul gave away the state treasury to Zoran Mondami, the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: $ 8 billion, to balance the budget in New York City
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and guarantee he would be like an appendage to her
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: so that he could campaign with her for re-election and
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: fend off challenges from progressives and DSA. Well, and haven't
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I been saying keep your powder dry? Keep your powder
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: dry because You know, right now he's spending money that
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have, which makes a lot of friends and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: programs get their money. So everybody is in love. He's
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: at 70% support. But look at what's happening in Troy,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: upstate New York, right in Kathy Hochul's backyard. You know,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to the governor's mansion is right there. They're going bankrupt.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Money has disappeared. They have a DSA mayor in Albany
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: who yesterday, along with the controller, were asked by citizens outraged.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: What happened to $ 55 million? That's going to bankrupt us.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Schenectady is next. She can't bail out all these cities.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: It's right in her backyard. And that's why this coming year,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: once you get into about February and March. All of
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a sudden, what's Kathy Hochul going to do for Zoran Mandami?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: This time to bail him out of the fiscal abyss
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: because your books have to be balanced. Listen, everybody that
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: voted for Kathy Hochul, you were taken. You were blind.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what you were blinded by.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: But she did say over and over again, I have
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: no intention of raising taxes. No, I'm not going to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: raise taxes. She would say it definitively. She'd couch it
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: a couple of times. But the message was clear. I'm
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: not going to raise taxes. As soon as she gets elected,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the moment she gets elected, she comes and she goes, well,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: if there's, you know, I never said in no scenario
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: would I not raise taxes. She's already couching it. So
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: she's already preparing us for the fact that she is
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: going to raise taxes. It is going to happen. So
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: you were fooled. You were hoodwinked. You voted for no taxes.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: You're going to be taxed because a Democrat's a Democrat.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, up next, I can't wait for John Decker. You
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: know what my Trump question is going to be, Larry.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I'm letting you know right now. The president went on
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the warpath again saying, hey, who's willing to accept these results?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Does anybody really believe this election was honest? This was
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday after election night when he said, I accept the results. Well,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I've tipped you off in terms of what I'm going
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to ask, but John Decker is right there in the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: White House. We'll be talking to him up next.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Now it's time to bring in John Decker, WOR White
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: House and Washington correspondent and host of the podcast, The
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: White House Briefing Room with John Decker. That can be
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: found on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning to you, John. Listen,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: you know, we're all members of the big I heart family.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And with that, I, you know, people in the family
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: are so proud of you. You've been the star of
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: these White House polls and press conferences. And I just
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: want to play a question that you asked to the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: president yesterday.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 34:33
  Speaker 18: President, you on the campaign trail, you had said that
• 34:37
  Speaker 18: you had stopped Iran. from having a nuclear weapon, why
• 34:42
  Speaker 18: not just declare an end to the conflict and be
• 34:44
  Speaker 18: done with it?
• 34:45
  Speaker 20: Because we have some great allies there, and we have
• 34:49
  Speaker 20: to make sure they're not hurt.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: And they would be hurt.
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: They are right now a lot safer than they were
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: six months ago, because Iran's been very much decapitated. But
• 35:01
  Speaker 20: they're still the bully of the Middle East a little bit.
• 35:04
  Speaker 20: And I see that. And we want to make sure
• 35:05
  Speaker 20: they're okay. We want to make sure it's a long-term solution,
• 35:09
  Speaker 20: not just a short-term. They'll never have a nuclear weapon,
• 35:12
  Speaker 20: but we have to make sure that's a long-term. So
• 35:14
  Speaker 20: it's ending quickly, but we want to take care of
• 35:17
  Speaker 20: people that have been very good to us over the years.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: There's so much to read in that question and answer,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: because I believe, John, if somebody from MSNOW or CNN
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: had asked that question, he would have attacked them. But
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I think he has some respect for you, and that's
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the reason you got that answer.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Well done. Great question.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And it was nice that you set it up by
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: being respectful in the White House.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks.
• 35:44
  Speaker 21: You know, there's a tone, there's a way to approach
• 35:46
  Speaker 21: the president and still get a good answer from the president,
• 35:50
  Speaker 21: you know. And, you know, I think through all the
• 35:52
  Speaker 21: years that I've known President Trump, first time I interviewed
• 35:55
  Speaker 21: Donald Trump was way back in 1999. You know, I've
• 35:59
  Speaker 21: built up, you know, what you describe as a well
• 36:01
  Speaker 21: of respect with President Trump. So to me, that's an
• 36:05
  Speaker 21: important question, because as you know, It's the vice president
• 36:08
  Speaker 21: who said the war in Iran is the reason why
• 36:10
  Speaker 21: the midterms went the way they did. It's the president
• 36:13
  Speaker 21: who said he agrees with the vice president. And that's
• 36:16
  Speaker 21: the reason why I asked that question to the president yesterday.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: It was a perfect question. It was just a perfect question.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Don't you think, Curtis? Oh, yeah. It goes along with
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: me saying declare victory and get the hell out of there.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 36:31
  Speaker 21: I hear that from so many. I hear that from
• 36:33
  Speaker 21: people that are fans of the president. And I hear
• 36:36
  Speaker 21: it from people who describe themselves as, you know, never Trumpers,
• 36:41
  Speaker 21: you know. And so it's one of those issues that
• 36:44
  Speaker 21: really actually unites people in terms of wanting to see
• 36:48
  Speaker 21: an end to that conflict.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: You know, when we were most united on election night,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: John Decker, in the wee hours of the morning, the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: president who never sleeps, Gave an interview in which he said, yep,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I see. Yep, yep. I'm willing to accept the results
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: of this election, the Democrats winning. That was then. And
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Monday night, Truth Social. This
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: is Trump. Does anybody really believe this election was honest?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: It's all about the machines which are more important than
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the voter. No, no. Tell me, John Decker, he didn't
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: start this. This this this deal, you know, the election denial.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Is he is he starting this?
• 37:30
  Speaker 21: Well, I think when the president spoke to Fox News
• 37:33
  Speaker 21: in the aftermath of those election results late on Tuesday night,
• 37:38
  Speaker 21: His guard was down, you know, and to a certain extent,
• 37:41
  Speaker 21: you know, when your guard is down, you answer truthfully,
• 37:45
  Speaker 21: you answer honestly. And, you know, now the president, you know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 21: on reflection, realizes what has happened, that Democrats come January
• 37:54
  Speaker 21: the 3rd will retake control of both the House and
• 37:57
  Speaker 21: the Senate. There has to be a logical explanation for this, Curtis.
• 38:01
  Speaker 21: And the logical explanation, according to the president, is that
• 38:04
  Speaker 21: this was an election that was rife with fraud.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: And he's the only one out there saying it.
• 38:10
  Speaker 21: I don't hear others either within the administration or allies
• 38:14
  Speaker 21: of the president saying the same thing.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully it's a one off. He got it out
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: of his system and now he's going to move on
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to other things. So we should move on to other
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: things like. Pete Hegseth is going to have a press
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: availability today. This is going to be quite a fight
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: in the House of Representatives because the last time he
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: was there, it was fireworks.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: This time, I think it's going to be even more.
• 38:43
  Speaker 21: Well, I agree with you, and I honestly don't know
• 38:46
  Speaker 21: how this vote is going to turn out. Now, we
• 38:49
  Speaker 21: know it's not going to be a party-line vote because
• 38:51
  Speaker 21: the person who brought the articles of impeachment to the
• 38:54
  Speaker 21: floor of the House is a Republican. So at least
• 38:57
  Speaker 21: there will be one Republican voting with every Democrat trying
• 39:00
  Speaker 21: to impeach Pete Hegseth. There could be others because there
• 39:04
  Speaker 21: are Republicans in the House that are heading out the door, Larry.
• 39:08
  Speaker 21: This is their final weeks in the House of Representatives.
• 39:11
  Speaker 21: To a certain extent, some of them blame the president
• 39:14
  Speaker 21: for that. So you could see a few other Republicans
• 39:17
  Speaker 21: join with Democrats in trying to impeach Pete Hegseth We'll
• 39:22
  Speaker 21: know the answer to that question likely within the next
• 39:25
  Speaker 21: 24 to 48 hours.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Now, did the president address the CCP spy that he
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: was having the urge to merge with from Singapore that
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: he gave superchips to, most valued by everyone, that went
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to the Red Chinese in Did the president acknowledge that
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: apparently he had been told this by a memo from
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Rubio that the guy is compromised because of this love
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: affair he had with that CCP woman?
• 39:57
  Speaker 21: Well, the president gave an answer to that very question.
• 40:00
  Speaker 21: And he says he doesn't remember reading or seeing that
• 40:03
  Speaker 21: memo that was written by Marco Rubio, reported by The
• 40:07
  Speaker 21: New York Times, not denied in any way by the
• 40:10
  Speaker 21: State Department. So that memo certainly was written. And that
• 40:14
  Speaker 21: memo spells out the danger that the CEO, the president,
• 40:20
  Speaker 21: the founder of NVIDIA could be under in the sense
• 40:24
  Speaker 21: that he was having an affair with someone who was
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: a spy for the Chinese government. And given all of
• 40:31
  Speaker 21: the interactions between Jensen Huang and the president, between Jensen
• 40:36
  Speaker 21: Huang and the Chinese government, you can understand why that
• 40:40
  Speaker 21: memo was written by Marco Rubio.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: What do you expect over the next two years? Because
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you've been there before with people that have taken a
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: bath during the midterms, and he has reached his hand
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: across the aisle on a couple of issues very early on,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: which is unlike him. Can we expect him to be conciliatory,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: or do you think that was just in the moment
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: when he was taking in the results?
• 41:05
  Speaker 21: You know, I don't know the answer to that, Larry, because,
• 41:08
  Speaker 21: you know, every president that is essentially counting down the
• 41:11
  Speaker 21: dead days until they leave the White House does think
• 41:15
  Speaker 21: about their legacy. Now, the president has a physical legacy,
• 41:18
  Speaker 21: all the things that he's done to the property of
• 41:20
  Speaker 21: the White House. But you also want to have a
• 41:22
  Speaker 21: legacy beyond that. He has a legacy certainly at the
• 41:24
  Speaker 21: Supreme Court. But does he want to have a legacy
• 41:27
  Speaker 21: for these final two years and move legislation through Congress
• 41:31
  Speaker 21: to do that? It's something in which you need compromise,
• 41:35
  Speaker 21: you need conciliation. And so we'll see whether the president
• 41:38
  Speaker 21: decides to move in that direction to try to move
• 41:41
  Speaker 21: forward legislation on, for instance, immigration, something he brought up
• 41:45
  Speaker 21: that on Tuesday night, last Tuesday night, as the results
• 41:49
  Speaker 21: were coming in. That's an area, he says, in which
• 41:52
  Speaker 21: he could cooperate with Democrats.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: John Dagger, over the years, you've seen chiefs of staff
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: come and chiefs of staff go. some with accommodation, some
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: with a lot of vitriol. Susie Wiles leaves for another position,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and Stephen Miller is elevated from deputy chief of staff
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: to the chief of staff. First off, what is the
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: role of the chief of staff? And number two, was
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: that a signal that he has a wartime consigliere now? Well,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: that's what I hear. That's what I've read.
• 42:23
  Speaker 21: You know, that's Stephen Miller's style.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: He is a pugilist. He is a fighter.
• 42:30
  Speaker 21: He is not a compromiser. So if you want someone
• 42:34
  Speaker 21: in that role to have that kind of tone and
• 42:38
  Speaker 21: tenor set at the White House as it relates to
• 42:41
  Speaker 21: relations with Congress, the president chose the right person in
• 42:45
  Speaker 21: Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller is a longtime aide to the president.
• 42:49
  Speaker 21: He's the architect of his immigration crackdown, and the president
• 42:54
  Speaker 21: trusts Stephen Miller. So what I expect is Stephen Miller
• 42:58
  Speaker 21: being given essentially free reign to run the White House
• 43:03
  Speaker 21: in the way that he wishes and to deal with
• 43:05
  Speaker 21: Congress in the way that he wishes.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And what I do expect is a lot of battles.
• 43:10
  Speaker 21: Between the White House and Congress, which will be controlled
• 43:14
  Speaker 21: by Democrats for the next two years.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: You know, the midterm results are sort of like a
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: starting gun for the 2028 presidential election. People are already
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: starting to claim their ground, especially the governor of Florida,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Ron DeSantis. Give me a ballpark. We were trying to
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: figure this out here. How many people do you think
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: are going to throw their hat in the rain for
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the Democrats and how many for the Republicans?
• 43:42
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I'd say maybe 10 to 15 on each side.
• 43:47
  Speaker 21: I think that it's just an interesting environment. We don't
• 43:49
  Speaker 21: know what the environment is going to be like two
• 43:51
  Speaker 21: years from now. It may not be what it exists
• 43:54
  Speaker 21: right now.
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: Maybe the U.S.
• 43:56
  Speaker 21: Economy makes a huge comeback, and it's just firing on
• 44:00
  Speaker 21: all cylinders. And if that's the case, that's the perfect
• 44:04
  Speaker 21: environment for someone like J.D.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Vance on the Republican side to keep.
• 44:09
  Speaker 21: That good economic feeling going within the administration. On the
• 44:15
  Speaker 21: other hand, if the feeling or environment is like it
• 44:19
  Speaker 21: was on Tuesday night, last Tuesday night, it's not a
• 44:22
  Speaker 21: good sign for someone within the administration. And then Ron
• 44:26
  Speaker 21: DeSantis could take advantage as an outsider running for the
• 44:30
  Speaker 21: Republican nomination. On the Democratic side, you have so many
• 44:33
  Speaker 21: governors and and some that just did really well, like
• 44:37
  Speaker 21: Josh Shapiro, won by more than 20 points, who will
• 44:40
  Speaker 21: certainly throw their hat in the ring. You have a
• 44:42
  Speaker 21: number of senators. Certainly, Cory Booker is going to run
• 44:46
  Speaker 21: for president. Any Republican or Democrat who's run for president
• 44:51
  Speaker 21: in the last 10 years will certainly give a strong
• 44:55
  Speaker 21: look at running again in 2028.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent, host of
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker,

• 45:09
  Speaker 2: going to be a fascinating two years. I can't wait

  Speaker 2: a chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells at 825. Now,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about LifeVac because I believe in
• 45:34

• 45:37
  Speaker 2: about everybody in my family, especially my grandkids, because I've
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: reported the news so long and I know these situations.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I know how just a regular situation like eating at
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: the dinner table can turn into emergencies. When it does,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: seconds matter. And that's why I believe so much in LifeVac.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: If you don't know about LifeVac, LifeVac is the first
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: and only, this is important, FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: be used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: been followed without success. Go ahead and Google it. And
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: you're going to see, if you go to the news section,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: all of the people across the country whose lives have
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: been saved, mostly children, over the last year. It's saved
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: over 7,000 people worldwide. Those are real people we're talking about.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: tool nearby makes all the difference. So learn more about

• 46:43
  Speaker 2: how you.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Can be ready. when it counts. Well, it did certainly.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Seem like Billy Joel was never going to be able
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: to perform again after going through brain surgery for normal
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: pressure hypocephalus, which is a diagnosis that after you have
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: it can leave you imbalanced. It can also be very dangerous,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: especially if you're around loud noises and you lose your
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: balance and So he announced recently that he was never
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: going to be able to perform at big concerts again
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: because the noise and the loudness and the crowd would
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: just be too much on his brain. Except now, on
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: his official page on the internet, he has announced that
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: he is going to perform at Florida Atlantic University. And
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: they are thrilled. Here's what they have on their website.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Florida Atlantic University will welcome singer, songwriter, and composer Billy
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Joel for Billy Joel, an evening of questions and answers.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Then it goes dot, dot, dot, and a little music.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, I love Billy Joel at
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: his best. I know he's got these big songs and
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: he comes with a rock band, but I love him
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: when he's just at a piano.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Sort of like Liberace, huh? Yeah, exactly. You love them
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: that way, like Elton John at the piano. December 14th
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: at 7 p.m., tickets are going to be available exclusively.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry, you're left out unless you went to FAU.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: For currently enrolled students at FAU, even if you went
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: to FAU, you're out. You have to be there currently enrolled.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: I just love to see them back on the stage again.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: It's wonderful.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: So never doesn't mean never. No, but it's questions and answers.
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: Understood.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: How soon before Frankie Valli, Frankie Valli in the four seasons, 92,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: as you know, recently had to say, I'm discontinuing temporarily
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: being out on tour. How soon before Natalie recognizes Frankie
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Valli and his fans have posted that he's back on
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the road and he's doing some Italian cultural clubs where
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: he's answering a few questions because he can't hit the
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: high notes anymore. How soon, Natalie?
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know how soon.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Never, never means never.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Never, never, never means never.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Performance. No, they'll, They'll perform. It's almost like Schumer and
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Chuck Grassley. They never want to leave the Senate. It's
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: sort of like there should be term limits for some
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: of these performers.
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: But that's in them.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: That's who they are.
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: And I feel like a lot of these performers, if
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: they're not performing, they don't feel alive.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, I like this. I've seen Billy
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Joe in concert and he's wonderful.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: He's tremendous. I've seen him a couple of times.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: I would pay a lot of money to go to this,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: to hear him answer questions and just sit at the
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: piano and talk about the songs.
• 49:50
  Speaker 11: But do we know that's really what the case is?
• 49:52
  Speaker 11: Because when they say a little music, do we know
• 49:55
  Speaker 11: the little music's coming from him?
• 49:57
  Speaker 22: What do we know?
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's going to have a piano there. He just
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: can't have big, loud noises. He's going to have a
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: piano there. I don't know that for a fact, but
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: that's what I dream of.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Don't ruin my dream.
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: I won't.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Don't feed the beast. Here it is already. The guy
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: is trying to recover. And all, yeah, come on, yeah,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: get on the stage. Oh, I can't wait to see you.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: If you remember, there was a tribute.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Band that was playing, and he did get on the
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: stage and played one song with the tribute band, so
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: he can do it. There's no reason to believe he's
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: not going to just sit at a piano.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: No loud noises. Can we include in that- eliminating the
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: possibility of doing another residency with the guy I hate,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I loathe, I despise, Jimmy Dolan at Madison Square Garden.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Can we rule that out? Yeah, I think that's ruled out.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's all Harry Styles now. All right, let's
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: get some talkbacks.
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: It seems like you guys put party before country every time.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know why.
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: Am I wrong? Just correct me if I'm wrong. Once
• 50:55
  Speaker 10: somebody steps out of the Republican line, they're a rhino.
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: They're not an American anymore. Well, this is about America,
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: not about the Republican or the Democrat Party.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: No, elections are different. Elections are different. That's when you
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: can express your discontent, which Americans did. The problem is
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: when somebody goes out of line when there is an
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: initiative and they vote against it. And sometimes they do
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: it out of spite. So that's when they're called a rhino.
• 51:26
  Speaker 23: The immortal Rush Limbaugh said it best. And I just
• 51:31
  Speaker 23: seriously can't believe that it is still going on. But
• 51:36
  Speaker 23: he coined that phrase, the first thing that Republicans do
• 51:41
  Speaker 23: when they take charge or lose charge is the circular
• 51:46
  Speaker 23: firing squad.
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 51:49
  Speaker 23: Why does this party hate itself so much? Circular firing
• 51:53
  Speaker 23: squad every time.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: You could say the same thing about the Democrats. They're
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: fights with the DSA. This is nonsense. And by the way,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: based on the first caller. I sit here as a
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: proud rhino, the leader of the rhinos in the Republican Party.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: A rhino means Republican in name only. I'm proud to
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: be a rhino. And, MAGA, it's over. It's over, MAGA.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're owning it because a lot of
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: people were confused, and now it's all cleared up.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, never. I was never MAGA. Everybody knew that.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Now let's Republican in name only. Now, let's get to dairy.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Albinger dairy.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I already forgot the name of it, but this spinach
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: thing is... Spanakopita. Oh, my God.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: And I'm glad you're enjoying it.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: It's delicious. I'm going to eat all of it.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: Glad you enjoy it. Did you try the desserts?
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Not yet.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: We've got a... They've got a semolina cake over there,
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: which is Middle Eastern. Vasposa.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: We've got.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: And I kind of went somewhat Italian-ish on the pastries,
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: not to scare Curtis too much.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: So, we have two.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: Pistachio eclairs over there for you guys, and a Dubai
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: chocolate brownie to show that there's a lot of sharing
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: within the Mediterranean cultures of all our flavors.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Say one more time why you brought this stuff in.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: I'm a member of St.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: Anthony Orthodox Church in Bergenfield, New Jersey, and we are
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: having our international festival on Friday and Saturday. We do
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: a lot of work in the community, and we could
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: use your support so we can continue Many things that
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: we do to help the northern New Jersey community.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: We'd love to meet you, too.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Let me attest, it's unbelievable food. If you'd want to
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: just go for the food, that's why you should go.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: And come see me. I'll be behind the bar. I'd
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: love to meet you.
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: Mostly sunny and breezy with a high of 61 degrees,
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: and we could see the first snowflakes of the season
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: by the end of the week.
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: Not in my neighborhood. Not at least one this big.
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: That's what elected leaders, teachers, and parents said last night
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: about a plan to build a 200-bed single men's shelter
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: on 108th Street in Brooklyn. It's a block from the
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: Science and Medicine Middle School 366. Parents say they're worried
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: about the safety of their kids. City officials say this
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: is one of 12 new shelters that are planned for
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: across the five boroughs to help deal with the city's
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: unhoused population. There's been an arrest in connection with a
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: brutal murder in Queens.
• 54:11
  Speaker 24: The NYPD arrested Zordrak Bloddy One three days after a
• 54:15
  Speaker 24: woman's naked body was found covered in stab wounds inside
• 54:18
  Speaker 24: a business on 164th Street and Depot Road in Flushing.
• 54:22
  Speaker 24: Police say the victim had stab wounds all over her body,
• 54:25
  Speaker 24: including her head. The Department of Buildings website has an
• 54:28
  Speaker 24: open complaint against the address where the woman's body was found.
• 54:32
  Speaker 24: alleging the storefront that used to be a skin care
• 54:34
  Speaker 24: clinic now operates as an adult establishment. Vladiwan, who police
• 54:39
  Speaker 24: say is homeless, is charged with murder, robbery, and weapon possession.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: There is bipartisan support for articles of impeachment against Defense
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: Secretary Pete Hegseth.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: Here's House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
• 54:53
  Speaker 16: Pete Hegseth has abused his power, undermined America's national security,
• 54:58
  Speaker 16: and he's the architect.
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massey introduced the articles yesterday. And
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: winter is not far off. Mayor Mamdani says the city
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: will be ready. He's announced an additional $ 25 million for
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: things like warming centers, homeless outreach. And, of course, snow removal.
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: Rangers and Islanders lost. Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once.

• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Channel in the free iHeartRadio app and watch on Tic
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Tac Live. Big story. They need some explanation, Larry and
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: our audience. He who controls the superchips, the production of superchips,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: controls the world because everyone now battling for AI supremacy
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: needs superchips. And this guy, Jensen Wang, well, he's got
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: a lock on it. All of his factories were first
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: in Taiwan, and he began to diversify when he realized
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: the Red Chinese, if they were to ever invade, would
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: basically get all the superchips and put them out of business.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: So he's now starting to build factories throughout the United States, Canada,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: all over the world. And it's a great all-American story.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: It's been told. This guy came over here. He didn't
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: have two nickels to rub together. He's working. Now, get this.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: He's working at, of all places, a Denny's. He's washing dishes.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: He's a busboy. He's a waiter. He works his way,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: finally gets to Stanford. He has a few friends. And
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: he goes back to the original Denny's that he worked
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: in in San Jose. And on napkins, they come up
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: with this first idea of a super chip. How are
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: we going to get people to finance? And it all
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: comes together. And he is the best supporter of Donald
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Trump's vision that there should be no guardrails in this
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: race for AI supremacy. The others are vacillating, but they
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: need his super chips or they can't win the race.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Now we find out that, oh boy, he had a honeypot,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: or as we call it, a gumata, that he was
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: parading around. This video of her with him going everywhere.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: She is a big executive for a firm in Singapore
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: that was buying super chips from him, billions of dollars
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: of super chips. And our surveillance indicates that she was
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: doing it on behalf of the Red Chinese, President Xi,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and the shipment went right to the Red Chinese. Marco Rubio,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: our Secretary of State about a year ago, wrote a
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: big memo, top secret, They went to the president and
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: his staff said, man, this guy is compromised. He's compromised.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: The president yesterday, as we heard from John Decker, said, well,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I can't remember that memo. And he's become very good
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: friends with this Jensen Wang. The woman, ironically, her name
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: is Alice Wang. And she was recruited by the CCP,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party. went out there and developed this
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: relationship which obviously meant they had the urge to merge
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: out there and she fulfilled her mission. Now the question
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: is what's gonna happen to the guy his own company
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: which is like top fortune 500 company in the world
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: they're doing an internal investigation of his hanky-panky they're not
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: gonna do anything to the guy but in this race
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: for AI supremacy The red Chinese may not have access
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: to those super chips that you need, but they know
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: where there's a will, there's a way. And they know
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: that these guys who have not had saltpeter in their breakfast,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: they have that. urged to merge all the time. And
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: if they pick the right woman in the right timing,
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: in the right place, they can do a Mata Hari.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Just like, remember, Eric Swalwell. Remember, that's how we realized
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: how this operation works on behalf of the Red Chinese. Yeah,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: there's been a series of them.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Remember, Dianne Feinstein had a limo driver that ended up
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: being a Chinese spy. All those times when she was
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: making the phone calls in the back, He was recording
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: everything she said. But you're absolutely right when you talk
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: about honeypots. It started with Fang Fang. Remember Fang Fang?
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Fang Fang was the one he was caught with. There
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: was a huge investigation and they found out that he
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: didn't share any secrets. At least that's what they came
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: out with. At the time, the Democrats were in charge.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: And so they came out after a thorough investigation. They
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: said they cleared him. He even ran for president after that.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: He's been a presidential candidate. We then realized he had
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: some bigger problems. He was also drugging women to have
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: sex with them. And some of those women were staffers
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: and some of those women were underage. So he's under
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: investigation right now. But listen to this.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: A California mansion where he has been hanging out now
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: has been raided.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: So this guy is a mess. Just think about that.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: He ran for president. People supported him for president.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: He was the odds-on favor to become governor of California.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. And I'll tell you what. So he
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: was staying with a guy, a billionaire named Stephen Klubeck.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: And they caught wind that he might have had been–
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: hiding some secrets there. Guess where they caught wind of that?
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: From sex workers who were going to the mansion, told
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: them what was going on. So the FBI has now
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: raided his home, not his home, Klubeck's home for a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: third time. There is going to be a trial coming
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: up for him. Eric Swalwell, if there is any justice
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: in the world, will be spending time in jail for
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: a long, long time. But here's another guy that just
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: couldn't keep it in his pants. I mean, just think
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: about it. If he was able to control himself, he
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: had a steady girlfriend. If he had a wife, he
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: could be president.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Larry, there's another way they entrap you. They bring you
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: over for a cultural exchange. You know, like the politicians. Oh,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: it was a cultural exchange to him. And they come
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: back and they have a brand new submarine Rolex on
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: their wrist, which you actually need a sling to put
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: around your shoulder. It's so heavy to carry legitimate or
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: a brand new car of your choice. I have confronted
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Chinese American elected officials and party officials, both parties here.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I've done it publicly. So where'd you get that Rolex?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: That's not a knockoff brand new car on your assembly
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: manic salary on your state Senate salary. Could you explain
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: to me how you were able to do that? And
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden I get told in either
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Cantonese or Mandarin. I'm not sure. I don't speak Chinese.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Mind your own business. Remember just recently.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, Eileen Wang, the mayor of Arcadia, California,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: who was a rising star in the democratic party in California, uh,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: agreed to plead guilty for acting as an unregistered illegal
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: agent for the Chinese government. So these are plentiful. Guess
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: who's in China next week? Donald Trump. Hopefully he'll confront.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Xi on this. Anyway, up next, Natalie Migliore talking about
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: the New York City nightlife and why so many clubs
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: are closing. Is it starting to die in the city?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 13: Unexpected.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore. Ah, Natalie,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: you got a finger on the pulse of nightlife in
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: the city, which isn't doing too well.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 24: Well, that's according to a new report from the New
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 24: York City Hospitality Alliance.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: It shows restaurants, bars, and clubs.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 24: might be stretching the dollar just as much as their
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 24: patrons are. The latest survey finds 52% of these establishments
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 24: reported lower than expected earnings. So do New Yorkers think
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 24: the city's nightlife is.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: Live and well? Honestly, yeah, you should have seen Halloween night.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 26: It was crazy. Everybody was outside. Everybody was just like
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 26: out and about with their friends. And it was just
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 26: a vibe.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 27: I think it's very vivid. There's a lot going on.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 27: You go out, you can see all types of things.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 27: Every night of the week, especially on weekends.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 26: Like, sort of. I think gentrification's made it worse for sure.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: You talk about politics, they don't want to talk to you.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: You talk about nightlife, everybody's in.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: Everybody's got something to say. And maybe that's because, you know.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 24: These restaurants are saying that they're not doing so well.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 24: But if you go out anywhere in the city on
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 24: a Saturday night, on a Friday night, even on a
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 24: Wednesday night, sometimes you can't even move shoulder to shoulder
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 24: on the sidewalks, let alone on in a bar or
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 24: in a restaurant sometimes. So a couple of people mentioned gentrification,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 24: neighborhoods changing and prices that just keep going up, right?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 24: A majority of restaurants say, They've tried dealing with rising
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 24: operating costs by adjusting menu prices, reducing staff, or cutting hours. Now,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 24: according to Gothamist, the median price of a cocktail in
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 24: Manhattan is, do you want to guess?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: How much?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: $ 12.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: $ 17.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: You want $ 12, you got to go to the Outer Boroughs.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 22: Ha!
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 24: Some New Yorkers say there's your answer.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 13: Things are crowded still, but I feel like people are
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 13: buying less drinks. So it makes sense to me that
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 13: there's fluctuation in how much people can stay open.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: They're definitely making money.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 27: Because there's a lot of people, less room, everything is expensive.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's packed and all, but.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: I feel like bars can also be struggling, too, because
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 12: they're also competing with these, like, prices of other bars.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 12: And it doesn't mean, like, just because we're struggling doesn't
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 12: mean they're also not struggling.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 26: Yeah, 100%. I mean, if you make a single drink
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 26: $ 20 and you make cover $ 20, nobody's going to spend
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 26: $ 40 when rent is, like, $ 6, 000. You know what I mean?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 26: I think that that's definitely, like, a huge part of
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 26: them not making as much money as they used to.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Now, you know what used to save them, Larry? You
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: would comp the first 50 women in. Which would guarantee
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: to attract guys if they walked in. Because guys don't
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: go by themselves. Girls don't go by themselves anymore. They
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: go in a crowd. So if you have the guys
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: coming in, then you got nightlife. But if it is
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: unsafe for the women to be out late at night
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: and they can't afford a cab and an Uber all
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: the time, they're not taking the subway. So there goes
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: your nightlife.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 24: I don't want to toot my own horn, but I
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 24: used to be one of those people.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: They got in free. Sometimes I still am. They comp you, right?
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if the heel is high enough.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: You used to pick me up after watching what I say.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: You used to tick me off.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 9: Oh, well, and I used to win.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going inside, baby. And then remember, the guys feel
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: full of themselves. So they say, you're going to buy
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: a bottle here, right? You got to buy the whole bottle.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: And then you have a pourer. Because then, hey, man,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: they can flex and the girls will look or the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: young women will look and say, wow, he can afford
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: a bottle of champagne.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: I used to complain about it and I'd talk to
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: the bouncer and I'd say, why did they get in?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Why did they get in for free? How come I'm
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: standing out here? He went, figure it out, Einstein.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: It ain't a gay club, pal.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 24: Yeah, those guys never used to impress me anyway. No,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 24: it was a lot of fun. But The survey got
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 24: feedback from 107 respondents who operate a total of 275
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 24: establishments across New York City. So these are the owners
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 24: of one to three places. They've kind of got to make,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 24: have multiple, right? So with mom and pop restaurants and
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 24: nightclubs and all that stuff sort of disappearing, not everyone's
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 24: happy with that.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 13: There's definitely a few restaurant groups that now own like
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 13: a whole bunch of bars and they're honestly all great.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 13: So I'm happy with it but I do miss having
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 13: more like local local spots as.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 26: Well I mean I think the spots that used to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 26: be sort of like homegrown fun spots to go out
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 26: have now become places where people just stand instead of
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 26: dancing and I think that like that also has to
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 26: do with our generation and club culture because it's become
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 26: the only third space where people can just hook up
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 26: and see people but Yeah, I think in general, nightlife
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 26: has gotten worse because, like, people are coming to spaces
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 26: and they don't know the history behind it. And then
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 26: you have DJs who also are not homegrown New Yorkers.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 26: So they're playing that nobody wants to dance to.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Look at you. Look at this.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 24: I'm thinking of like all the club songs that I
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 24: like to dance to.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: She's dancing in the studio. I've never seen her so
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: into a story except for the nightlife in New York.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: I'm a nightlifer.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: That woman said happy. What about happy hour? What are
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: the prices of happy hour that normally pack the bars?
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: They got to track those. Those are the deals.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: Exactly. No, we don't want to interrupt you from dancing.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 6: Natalie, she's like a whirling dervish here. Weigh your six-inch
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: stacked heels, Natalie. Anyways, she'll be back tomorrow, same time,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 6: same place at 7.50.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: I've been here a few years now, Curtis, and done
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of stories and a lot of sick stories.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Nothing has made me more upset than this story of
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: the psycho ex-cop.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: Accused of murdering a Brooklyn jogger. We find out now
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: that he returned to his job at his school the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: very next day and was involved with children. Some of
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: the people are, the parents are just shaken. They were
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: protesting at the school. Jasmine Cotto said, you don't know
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: who's teaching your kids these days.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: It's shocking.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Who vets these people? That's a great question. Who vets
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: these people? Considering he was discharged from the armed services
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't accepted as a New York City police officer,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: but he can teach kids? This story is so sick
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: in so many ways. We're talking about accused killer Syed Mosib,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: who was working as a teacher's aide at the school
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: when he allegedly went off the deep end and randomly
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: stabbed 28-year-old runner Katie Suarez. It is a story that
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: everybody was trying to solve at the time, if you remember.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: And then this happened on October 30th. Cops frantically searched
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: for Suarez, who was then on the lam, but he
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: was already back in the classroom on Monday, three days later.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: And then he was nabbed not till Saturday. So he
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: was in there all that time, which leads to the question.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: This is at PS 200 in Brooklyn leads to the question.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I know that.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: I know teacher's aides don't make a lot of money,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: and he's a teacher's aide. I know they don't make
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of money, and I know it's probably hard
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: to find people for it.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: But seriously? I mean, didn't you do any kind of
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: background check on this guy? And it makes you concerned
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: about who is in the city schools right now. Who
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: else got through this sieve of looking into people's pasts? Apparently,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: they didn't do anything. Apparently, he just showed up and
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: they said, okay, you're in. And he had this history,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: this history of psychological problems. And Curtis, you've done a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: lot of work with the New York school system. Yes.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of anything like this? Yes. It's
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: called the DOE now. It used to be the Board
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: of Education. You know what the acronym for DOE is?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: with a bloated budget of $ 44 billion. That's one-third of
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the overall city budget. Dumbest organization ever. Now, there's no
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: excuse for this. He had applied for the NYPD, started
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: six weeks. He was called up by the Marines. He
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: had signed up for the Marines. Then the Marines washed
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: him on a psych disability. That's a public record. He
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: then tries to go back to the NYPD. They said, no,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: we can't have you on. It's a psych disability. Now,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the Department of Education sees this on his employment record. Oh,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: he worked for the NYPD. Wait, do we know for
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: a fact they saw it? Of course they had to have. Well,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: we're assuming they did. We're assuming they did any kind
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: of background check at this point. Well, remember what they
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: hide behind. HIPAA. You know, we're not privy to this information. Secondarily,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: the new attitude in City Hall for Zoran Mandami and
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: all of his sycophants, toadies, and lackeys is that You,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: if you're a landlord, you shouldn't know about the history
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: of any potential tenant job. If you're employing people, you
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: should never know about the background. The guy could have
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: been doing triple life without parole. It's none of your B.I.B. business.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: And I'll bet you the Department of Education will say, well,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: you know, we weren't permitted to pursue another city agency.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: Don't wonder why was he seeking parole. a transfer to
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: the Department of Education after he had just left the
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: police department. To work with kids.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 25: Yes.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: That there's no background check, no psychological, no criminal background
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: check is what you're alleging for people that work in
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: the city schools?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I cannot believe that's true.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it might be true, but I mean, how
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: horrendous would that be?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: And you're almost.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: This is the only light at the end of this tunnel,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: this dark tunnel that this guy is in. that maybe
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: it'll expose a huge problem in the school systems. All
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: parents should be worried right now who's with their kids.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: He has a history of psychotic behavior, a history. So
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a one-offer, and then he came back to
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: being normal. His own mother has admitted he killed a
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: family pet. And, you know, study after study says that
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: if you torture or you kill animals— it's likely you
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: may go on to have the same kind of behavior
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: towards humans. So he's going to go into court today.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: He's disheveled. You can see he clearly is out of
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: his mind. Legitimately, he's not playing it up. And you say,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: you mean to tell me this guy would show up
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: as some of the other employees at PS20 there in disheveled,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: talking to himself. Did you see his perp walk?
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, his eyes? Yeah.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Right away, I looked at my wife and I said,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: there's something wrong with this guy. Look at his eyes.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, he wasn't trying to hide. He was just,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: he looked like he was in a daze.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Even if the principal, see, principals are responsible for all
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: hiring now. Even if the principal didn't want to deal
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: with it, the shop steward for the UFT, Union of
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Failed Teachers, It probably was brought to that person's attention
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: and they chose to say nothing. This was an obvious case. Disheveled,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: mumbling to himself, showing up for work.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Let me just put a message out to parents because,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: you know, I have four kids and I have grandkids.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Keep a lookout at your kids' schools who is really
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: in contact with them. And if you have any problems,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: if you have any strange feelings, if you were just
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: worried at all, bring it up. Talk to other parents
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: about it because you have power in these situations, especially
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: if you get more than just yourself. You get a
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: conglomeration of teachers. I mean, parents, you have all the
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: power in the world. But I can't believe nobody, nobody
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: at that school said, hey, this guy's weird.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: We should check him out. I think we're going to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: find that out as this washes out. I hope so.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: That they became aware of it and they said, well,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: you know, that's protected. Protected information.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 16: Now!
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: That's a bigger story.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 20: Oh, yeah.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: What you just talked about at the end of that,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: that's a much bigger story. It's going to wash out. Wow.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Now let's go back to Cornell. Apparently, if you are
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: a female, be careful of Cornell. It's bad enough what
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: happened up there recently. Another case has surfaced, a guy
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: named Esat. Imagine this name. This is his legal name,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Brave Boy. Esat Brave Boy apparently was not so brave.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: He violated 10 young ladies at Cornell over a period
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: of time. He wrote for the school newspaper. The information
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: was brought to To the people who are responsible for
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: the conduct of students at Cornell, a Title IX complaint
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: was filed a few times, and they did nothing. What
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: he did, he withdrew from Cornell. So before they had
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: to drop the hammer on him, they probably said, you
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: can do us all a favor. You know, we don't
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: really want to go into this because it's going to
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: cause you harm. It's going to cause us harm. We're
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: going to just move on. And he did. There was
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: a suit filed in 2023 by two female undergrads that
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: he had sexually violated them. And guess what? It was
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: a local journalist, one of these bloggers now who found this,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: whereas the mainstream media, you know, they're all chasing the
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: fact that the Cornell faculty has declared no confidence in
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: the school's chancellor and that Tish James has appointed a
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: special prosecutor, Jacqueline Kelly, outside counsel, who prosecuted P. Diddy.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, really?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so much that stinks about this story. There
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: is also the story out right now. You remember the three?
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Everybody got to stay at school except for three.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: They were suspended.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: They were the worst of the group, and they were
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: the ones that did the most egregious things. They were
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: in the process of negotiating to bring them back to
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: school when this broke.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: So there was.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: Absolutely a look-the-other-way policy at Cornell. And I don't think
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: it's exclusive to Cornell. I think this is in college
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: campuses across the country.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Beyond just sexual harassment and assault, did you see what
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: happened at Ohio State University? Two of the frat boys
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: set themselves on fire as part of a prank and
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: hazing situation. On fire, Larry. The video has gone viral.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: Now you say to yourself. Okay, what are you going
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: to do, Ohio State? Was it on-campus frat, off-campus? You know,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: there are 50,000 students at Ohio State. It's like a
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: small city. I realize you just lost two major football
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: games in a row unexpectedly. But let's focus on the
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: problem that you probably have. Setting yourself on fire willingly. No, unfortunately,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: this is an unusual situation. There are people that have
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: died at frats in the hazing. There are people that
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: are injured for life, both mentally and physically because of
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: hazing at frats. across the country.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: I've done a dozen stories on hazing that got out
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: of hand.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: In high school, too.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: In high school, when the football teams, some of the
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: hazing that's got out of control. There should be no hazing.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: It should be illegal.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: I want to bring you back to the time that
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: I was a freshman. Okay. On the football team and
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: then the JV team. The snapping of towels as you
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: came out of the shower. You had to run through
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: the phalanx. Did that ever happen to you, Larry? Well,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: that's nothing. I mean, no, that never happened to me. Oh, yeah?
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: After you hit your three-piece set? Being set on fire?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Which alternative would you take? Let me think about that
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: for a second. Let me think about it.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: No, it is horrible. The hazing is horrible. It's got
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: to end and it's got to be illegal. It should
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: be a criminal activity. When we come back, wait till
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: you hear this. A cruise ship worker falls off a ship.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Nobody really noticed he was missing. He was in the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: water for nine hours. It's got a happy ending, though,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: plus a chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: coming up next. And also, WOR has your hook up
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: to hear new music from U2 a day before anybody else.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: It's the iHeartRadio and TikTok live premiere with U2. They'll
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: preview never-before-heard music from their new album, Carnival Del Luce.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: the night before it releases, and sit down for an
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: in-depth interview, including your questions, fan questions. So you can
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: hear it tomorrow at 9 p.m. on the Classic Rock
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: channel in the free iHeartRadio app. And you can also
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: watch it on TikTok Live. Oh, this is just an
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: amazing story. Three fishermen. are credited with rescuing a man
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: they spotted in the water about 20 miles off the
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: Southern California coast. Apparently, the man had been working as
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: a piano player on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship heading
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: to Mexico when he went overboard, and nobody saw him
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: go overboard. And if you think about it, so he's
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: the piano player in probably the nightclub, right? And so
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: nobody is going to expect him to be around until nighttime.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: So if he falls off during the day, nobody might
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: miss him. Nobody might realize that he's gone. So he
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: was in the water.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: For nine hours, nine hours, treading water, trying to keep
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: himself alive. When three fishermen saw him.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 19: I saw his head out of the water.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: He was, uh, flailing his hands just a little bit
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: and his feet just a little bit, just to keep
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: his head above water so he could breathe.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 9: I immediately said that was a human being.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, who would think that? You're out fishing,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: you're out for a fishing trip, and you see a
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: guy like that. And if they didn't show up, if
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: they didn't show up, I mean, this guy was close
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: to death.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 9: He could not stop shaking, and he could not talk.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 9: And it was clear to us that he was near death.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Giving new meaning to the song by Billy Joel, Piano Man.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: He has like a cat. Nine lives. He was nine
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: hours in the water. Nine hours. One hour of exposure.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: And also the sharks. He should have been shark bait.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Give you a quick story in advance of Veterans Day tomorrow.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: My dad, he had a merchant mariner test right before
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: World War II, Kingsborough Community College in Sheepshead Bay. You
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: know what the test was to be a merchant mariner?
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: They row you out into Jamaica Bay, and then you
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: got to swim to shore. Most of the guys couldn't.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: My dad could. He grew up in Lake Michigan. He
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: could swim like a fish. The other guys were told,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: you're not going to cut it. Here's a rifle. You
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: just joined the United States Army. But exposure... Shark bait,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: all those things. How many men perished in both World
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: War I and World War II on those troop carriers
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: and those supply ships? Yeah, and if there's a storm,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: if there's rough seas, I mean, yeah, no, he's extremely lucky.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Let's get some talkbacks. Hey, listen, if you know that
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: much about the club scene, then you really need to
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: get another life.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: Are you talking about i agree with you i agree
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: with you completely what are you what are.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: You talking about we we had the mayor of nightlife
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: eric adams swagger man with no plan who would party
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: through the break of dawn.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: Well i think you'd agree he needed to get another
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: life uh he has in albania guys.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 19: The charges that hegsev is most vulnerable on are those
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 19: extrajudicial killings in the caribbean That is not part of
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 19: the American system. Just because you think they're bad guys
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 19: running drugs, you don't get to do summary executions on that.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 19: You have to arrest them and bring them to trial.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 19: We're not at war. But even in war, soldiers have
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 19: been court-martialed for killing civilians. So that's where he's hurting.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: That is a great point, and you're absolutely correct.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 25: I just cannot believe how many turntale Republicans are out
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 25: there complaining that there's no message that Trump's done. I mean,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 25: these people are not team players. The minute the things
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 25: get rough, they're out of there.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Well, that happens all the time in life, doesn't it?
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: There's false friends that'll leave you when things are bad.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: There's people at work that when things go bad are
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: ready to quit on a moment's notice. They're everywhere, but
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: you're exactly right. These weaklings who don't understand history at all,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: how quickly things can turn around, are just cowards.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Now let's get to Daria Albinger
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: with the 830 News.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: Morning, guys.

• 1:25:09

• 1:25:12
  Speaker 22: snow season than at any point in recent memory. A

• 1:25:19
  Speaker 22: and clearing pedestrian areas.
• 1:25:21

  Speaker 1: to sleep at night with Jimmy Fell. You hear 710WOR,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: number one talk station in New York, 9 to 12.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: And then you wake up with Larry and me in
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: the morning at 6. And, Jimmy, I thought there was
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: a cardinal rule thou shalt not criticize your fellow comedians.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: But Dave Chappelle on stage, Madison Square Garden, packed crowds
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: Saturday night in one of his– Riff said, you know,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I was feeling so good on
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: the day that Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I know I'm
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be right, but I was feeling so good.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: What say you, Jimmy Fallon?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: Well, as someone who knows Chappelle... If he's feeling good,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 7: it's because of the weed. I don't want to confuse
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 7: the guy, okay? But he's not smoking a strand called Charlie.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 9: He's smoking Purple Haze. Quite aggressively, I might add. Listen,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 9: on that story... I got to tell.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: You really quickly, I always disagree with people on the
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 7: right who get mad. Because the truth is, and I've
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 7: said this a million times when the left was trying
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 7: to cancel comedians, comedy is just comedy. You're supposed to
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: treat it like a buffet. If you see an item
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 7: you like, you throw it on the tray. If you
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: don't like the item, you just keep on walking. Everybody
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 7: gets their own tray. And the reason I feel that.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 9: Way is obviously I don't agree with a word Chappelle said.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: But the minute you start trying to cancel comedians, you
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 7: become the thing we just campaigned against. You know, I
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: wrote a New York Times bestseller about this thing about
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 7: the left canceling people called Cancel Culture Dictionary. And if
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: you like reading at a third grade level, Curtis, you're
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: going to love this book.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: I'm still struggling with comic books.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 10: Come on.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: Come on. Yeah, but everybody can make their own choice
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: on Chappelle. You agree with that, right? Like, if I
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: don't want to listen to him anymore?
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think his comments are gross.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 7: I think there is a problem with political violence on
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 7: the left that they're never made to own. So I really,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 7: I don't mind that Republicans are getting mad and going
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 7: after them for that. But the fool's errand really is
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 7: like the comedy that's canceling the comedian never surges in
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 7: like popularity, specifically not with like younger voters.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 9: So it's kind of like, you know.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: You're rolling the dice.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 7: But as a consumer, yeah, you have every right not
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 7: to listen to this garbage because it is it's garbage.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 7: And he knows what he's doing, you know, and he's
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 7: kind of cheaply surfing off of that left wing, you know,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 7: political fetish with violence. You know, the Luigi Mangione thing
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: where the women are writing letters to Luigi. And apparently
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 7: he writes back, according to my wife.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Oh, now I get it. Now
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: I get it. It went right over my head, that one.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, let's take it up a notch with Comedians in Trouble.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: A guy that not only got canceled, he's going to
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: go to prison, Russell Brand.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: Do you know him? Have you run into him?
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 9: I have never met Russell Brand.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 7: You know, I was a cab driver when they were
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 7: having all those white parties at P.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 9: Diddy's house. I dropped off more people than I partied with.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 7: You know, unfortunately, they weren't the best tippers.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 9: They would give you just the tip.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Good night, everybody.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: Are there comics you worked with where you'd say to
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: other people, to other women comics or other women, you
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: want to stay away from him?
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, I personally didn't have the experience, but I
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: knew of like everyone knew the Louis C.K.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 9: Story back in the day. OK, that was kind of
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 9: a known thing.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 7: There wasn't so much a thing for Russell Brand because
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 7: he wasn't doing like clubs in the city, meaning like
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 7: he didn't come up with any of us. He just
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: like showed up in America as kind of a famous
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 7: comedy actor who was now in movies and, you know,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 7: making the rounds online. But absolutely, you can always tell
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 7: around comics, like, two things. For real, Larry, like, there's
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 7: a lot of comics you meet in the beginning, right,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 7: that you don't get too close to because you know
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 7: without a doubt they're going to be.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 9: In rehab in three years and they're not going to
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 9: be hanging out anyway.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 7: So that's... And then that other cultural thing, like you
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 7: said with Russell Brand, I didn't see a lot of that.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 7: But again, it doesn't mean it ain't out there because
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: there's a lot of dirtbags in showbiz, you know?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: Since you have the top-rated entertainment show on the Fox
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: News Channel Saturday night, because it's not political. It's really entertainment.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: You spread it, sort of like Fluffanutter. You give everyone
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: their props. Are you going to be inviting the new
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: star of the Fox News Channel? Free Diddy! Free Diddy now!
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: The new face of MAGA, Anthony Constantino!
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 7: Listen, I talked about him for the last five minutes
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 7: of my monologue Saturday night because Constantino reminds me of
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 7: Donald Trump if he switched from Diet Coke to Hunter
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 7: Biden's Coke.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. Let us enjoy that one for a second. Yeah,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: let us marinate that. Please, please. That was such a
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: great line.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 9: What a time.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: What a time to be alive.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 9: So, you know, very interesting.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know that he has a speechwriter, Anthony Constantino.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 9: But if he does, I assume it's Andrew Dice Clay.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 9: But it's very pugnacious.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: And I enjoyed it.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 9: Like, I found it funny, you know.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the weird thing is it's going to make
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: him a celebrity. Just the fact that he seems like
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: a walking train wreck is going to get him probably
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: more attention than most people getting into office.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, 100 percent, because we do we live in this
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 7: world now. It's we're not going back. OK, social media
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 7: really is the defining force in politics now.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 9: It just is, unfortunately.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 7: And everybody now is a political influencer with a side
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 7: hustle in Congress.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 9: That is reality. That's what AOC is doing.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 15: The run.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 7: And it's unfortunate, but we're like a year removed from
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 7: politicians doing upside-down handstands and giving us their plank routines
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 7: in order to get nominated, meaning there's no mention of
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 7: policy or anything. At least Constantino talks policy in the
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 7: way that he does.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 9: So I give him that for at least being substantive.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 7: I don't know that I'd have any of those substances
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 7: before I drove.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying. Yeah. By the way, mentored by
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: the star of a new reality show, George Santos, who
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: paved the way for the Anthony Constantinos of the world.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 9: Listen, I love George Santos.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's the original swing voter, you know, when
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 7: you think about it, because he was doing a little
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 7: bit of everything.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 9: He told me that on my show, the boys, the girls.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: How much can you talk about your feelings since you
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: used to work with him about what Pete Hegseth is
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: going through right now?
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 9: You know, it's funny, man. Like, I'll give you everything
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 9: I got on that one.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 7: The thing I like about what Pete has done at
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: the Pentagon is they're breaking recruiting records. So he is
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: doing a great job of catering to the people who
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 7: want to break stuff and kill people, as Rush Limbaugh
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 7: used to describe the military. But there's obviously this other
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 7: bloodlust for him that started long before he got into office,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 7: you know, even during the confirmation hearings. So it's like
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 7: I'm torn on this because I actually like that he's
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: growing the recruiting numbers in a way that the previous
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 7: administration wasn't. You know, again, we were, you know, bringing
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 7: in drag queens. We were getting pronouns for generals. We
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 7: don't need that.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? We do need the.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 7: Guys that are going to save Private Ryan, not the
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 7: guys that are going to transition Private Ryan.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 9: So we do.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 7: But on the other side of this thing, I honestly
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 7: don't know, you know, who the blame for Iran is,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: because the president standing by it is like, if I
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 7: had it to do over, I'd do it again.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: And J.D.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 9: Vance is trying to distance himself.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 7: But the point is, if you're asking me, would I
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 7: be surprised to be back on a Fox and Friends
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 7: couch with Hegseth next week?
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: No, I would not.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 9: It'll be nice to see him again.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy Fallon, you can listen to him tonight on
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon. He's also host of
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon on the Fox
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: News channel. Thanks a lot, Jimmy. Love you guys. From
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: back to Tuesday night going into Wednesday morning, the end
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: of the election midterm cycle. Larry, you had been doing
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: marathon work morning, noon and night. And I was jumping
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: in and we both agreed that later that night, Fox
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: News Channel had the interview with President Donald Trump, and
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: he said he was absolutely willing to accept the results.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: You felt good. I felt good. We all collectively took
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: a sigh of relief because it was a blue sweep.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: And then less than a week later, last night, on
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: Truth Social, almost like a comedian trying out new lines,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: you know, open mic Monday night at the local comedy show.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: He wrote out, does anybody really believe this election was honest?
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: How could the polls be so wrong? Some early vote
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: dumps were so large that it was impossible to win,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: no matter how many people went to vote. And then
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: he came right on up to the national line. It's
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: all about the machines, which are more important than the voters.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: He did not say Smartmatic or Dominion. Like some of
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: his surrogates did the last time in 2020. And you
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: saw what happened to Rudy and everybody else who did.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: And the companies who broadcast those statements, they were all sued.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: The president did not do that. But Larry, Larry, things
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: were going so well. The president was like, now he's
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: trying these lines out. What, the next thing will be
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: some kind of rally or whatever. Please, Larry, say it
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: ain't so, Larry. I know the New York Times thinks
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: this is a big story. You think it's a big story.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: CNN and MSNOW.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be a story tomorrow, but I
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: will say this. We have to do something about the
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: voter rolls, and he tried to. We had 6,000 illegals
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey. We had 5,000 they found in Pennsylvania.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: We had 20,000 that they found in California, and then
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: they weren't allowed to investigate any further.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: So there is.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: a serious problem in that people who are here illegally
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: and aren't U.S. citizens are allowed to vote. That's just
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: never supposed to happen. And so are there problems with
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: our elections? Yeah, there's serious problems with our elections right now.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: especially in Democratic states.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 8: And they fought back tooth and nail, even though 80%
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 8: of the public wants voter ID, even though they want
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 8: better registration.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: The Democrats were out there constantly saying no. Why is that, Curtis?
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: Why would they say no to that when everybody wants it?
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: Let me once again give a salute to outgoing Congressman
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, who could have triggered this whole thing because
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: machines were not working. In parts of Westchester County, and
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: he chose not to. He conceded that night. He said,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to open up this can of worms
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: or the conspiracies, the steel, and he conceded. So those
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: battles you mentioned are for a different day. But they're
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: still counting votes in Westchester, by the way. Which is
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting. And California. Yeah, it's true. And Alaska. And Mississippi.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: And Alaska, yes.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I salute Mike Lawler.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: We discussed the struggling club scene in the city this morning.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: The Talkback of the Morning and winner of the Curtis
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: Lee Wynn Larry Menting in the Morning t-shirt, and now
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: in the running for Talkback of the Week, who will
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: win a Seacrane Radio, had an interesting take on our conversation.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 23: And if you know that much about the club scene,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 23: then you really need to get another life.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. Was he referring to Eric Adams, swagger man with
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: no plan, who would dance to the break of dawn? Yeah,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: I know it wasn't either of us. Do you go
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: to the clubs? No, years ago. Years ago.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: Did you miss our White House correspondent, John Decker, today?
