Hour 1: Beagles protest in New York · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Where's that Ray Stajic? Where is he? Come on, Natalie.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Later in the morning. Come on, Larry. 6.50. I got
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a little piece of my mind to share with him
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: because he was the most laid back weather forecaster of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the many that we got pounded with over 72 hours.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And you yourself, a weather forecaster of extraordinary talent. Larry,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in the years you spent in San Diego, same weather
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: map every day.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Sunny in 70, see, in January, that's when things will
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: change a little bit.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But you understand all the terminology, and you understand how
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we were goading him. It's like, why are the weather
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: forecasters on TV preaching death, destruction, and, oh, my God,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this could be the mother of all nor'eases. In the meantime,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Ray was so laid back, well, maybe, you know, it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: could be possibly.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Let me, I'll tell you a real quick story.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I was in a meeting one time when a storm
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was moving up the coast. It was days away, but
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the weathercaster said, if this hits, it could be the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: storm of the century. It was the last night of ratings.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So what do you think we led with? Storm of
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the century, and it didn't hit. But we won the book.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: We had extraordinary ratings that night. But in this one,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I always say fear, fright, hysteria, and hype. Yeah, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: hype actually delivered because our area was blanketed, the tri-state area.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: There were all different situations, the way there was massive flooding,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: where trees were being unearthed and knocked down and chaos,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: no electricity.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But it was over two days. So it wasn't just
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: like it came in and it went out to sea.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It hung around for two full days. Including the cancellation
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of the ACDC concert in MetLife Stadium. ACDC! Of course
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it was canceled. And Global Citizen. They had to cancel
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that last minute too.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I know that was last minute. They were going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: go ahead with that. Most of the concerts were, the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: outdoor concerts were canceled. Canceled ahead of time. They held on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Ringo Starr.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They held on to the very end.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Ringo Starr was canceled at the PNC Arts Center last night.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All over. All over.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Can I defend Ray Stajic for a second? Oh, please don't.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was level-headed. He gave us every single fact.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that after having to suffer through hype and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: hype and hype and hype and hype. And I think
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the problem is people are used to that. Now, this time,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you're right. The hype came through. So those that are
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: level-headed don't look as bad because they're not screaming, oh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: my God, it's Armageddon.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but wait a second. Don't give them a pass
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: on this. I'm sorry, Larry. I want him to do
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: his mea corpus, mea corpus, mea maxima corpus. He was wrong.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: He did not prepare us adequately for what was happening. Now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I will admit, talking to some of my relatives in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: old Howard Beach, oh, this was as bad as Superstorm Sandy. No, no, no, no.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Nowhere near as bad as Superstorm Sandy. But it had
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: its moments.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It did. It really hit bad down in South Jersey
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: along the coastline down there. They're going to take a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: long time to recover from this because it was one
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: of those storms like in Cape May and Atlantic City
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and Wildwood where there was no city anymore. I mean,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the bay met the ocean. It was all covered with water.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: In some areas like Cape May, 18 inches of water
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they got. And to top it off, they had winds
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of up to 70 miles per hour. So South Jersey
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: was hit hard. North Jersey was hit hard, too. Long
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Beach was hit hard. Seabright was hit hard. I mean,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: there was all up and down the coast. But for
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: some reason down south, it really hit to the point
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: where it's going to take a long time to recover.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So what you're saying is Natalie's ranch house got wiped
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: out on the Jersey Shore.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You know, it's so funny because I know you're a
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: South Jersey guy. When you call Long Branch, not that
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: North Jersey, because people up north by me, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: way up north. in morris county call that south jersey.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: South jersey i know it's not anywhere.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Near i know i know but it's all relative we.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Put the dividing line all the way across the state
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of trenton that's yeah everything above trenton.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So your your fabulous ranch house was it wiped out
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on the jersey shore natalie.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Oh well the house that uh you know my my
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: relatives live in down the shore thankfully they came up
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: they stayed up here for the you know up north
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: for the weekend uh They kept electricity. That was an
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: amazing thing about this storm. There were a lot of
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: power outages, but where you suspect them to be out,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: they weren't.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There was no sustained winds.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That was the key. Having sustained winds will knock out
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of power. When you have gusts, most trees
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: can withstand a gust. Most power lines can withstand a gust.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That's why it's important to listen to the forecast. When
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you hear them say there are 50-mile-per-hour sustained winds... Then
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you're in trouble. Then things are going to fall down.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I was checking in with relatives that live in
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Union Beach and Lavalette, you know, where you always get flooding.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And they got the flooding. They definitely did. But they
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: were with power. They were safe. They just had to
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: ride it out.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well, one thing that Jersey and the Rockaways and the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: South Shore, Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk, which got hit,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: we'll equally have to share in is the taxpayer cost
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of beach nourishment, because you're going to have to replenish
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: all those beaches that were washed out to shore. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: this happens every cycle.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I know. And the shame of it is most of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: those beaches just did replenishments, just did them up and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: down the Jersey shore. And now they're going to have
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to get back to it, but it's important for the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: future to remember that. That when you get a nor'easter,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not like Superstorm Sandy, that was a completely different story.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: When you get a nor'easter, it's going to hit the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: coastline bad. Like, for instance, Natalie, where you were, bad winds.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, up by in northern New Jersey?
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It was like nothing almost. You kept thinking to yourself,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: what's happening? Why isn't anything happening?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same here. I'm in Linden. I'm thinking to myself,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I thought we were supposed to get a lot of rain.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And so it's always going to hit the coastline worse
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: than anywhere else. That's why Long Island got hit so bad.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: If you notice, once again, the complaints of people of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn and Queens that were hit the hardest, especially in Queens.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I'll get to the Rockaways. I'll get to Hamilton Beach. And,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of course— The number one Howard Beach area, old Howard
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Beach momentarily, was back up in sewers.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: What have I been railing about over and over? The
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: sewers are all clocked up with garbage, flotsam, jetsam. There's
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: no even flow when you get a heavy rainfall, especially
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: if it's three inches in an hour.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That's it. It ain't going down those sewers. And they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: refuse to clean out those sewers like they did when
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I was a kid.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was watching WCBS and there was a gentleman
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: standing out. They had him out there live and he
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: was standing out there, water a little bit below his knees.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And he was pointing out all of the garbage and saying,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this happens all the time here. They've got to clean
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: out these sewers. And I thought of you right away
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: because you've been You've been on that since I've known you.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Larry, 150,000 of them that never get cleaned out. Now
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: let's go to the areas where if you had a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: small spritz of rain, they'd be underwater. Old Howard Beach,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Hamilton Beach, and that's not the blender, and the Rockaways.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Because they also have that phenomenon of the back bay
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: flush as the ocean is in front of them, which
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you described down in southern New Jersey. So they have
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Jamaica Bay and then they have the Atlantic Ocean. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: both of them come flight and they're flooded. And they're
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: always flooded. You saw the guys and gals in the kayaks.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: going to the A train station in what we used
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to call downtown Howard Beach. Used to be a theater there.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I remember going there as a kid. There was always flooding.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Flooding in Hamilton Beach. They have houses on sticks. I mean,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: literally up on sticks. What do you think the reason
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you're on sticks is because of the flooding?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Can I give a quick real estate tip?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: If you're going to an area And the homes are
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: on sticks and everybody owns a kayak.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: That should be a big clue. No matter what the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: real estate agent tells you, you may want to ask
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: some questions.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: You live there. You know it's going to get flooded.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And now you're going to want the taxpayers to basically
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: bail you out again and again and again. These are
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: marsh areas. You know, when I like the Dutch who
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: built dikes and knew that they would be flooded all
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the time from the North Sea. We continue to have
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: these same problems, Larry, over and over. It costs a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: lot of money to get it all back together again.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But we never seem to improve the situation.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to spend the money. And I believe, and listen,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I have no proof of this. So I just want
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to say that when I go out, when I start this,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: because it makes no sense that they have all of
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: these flood areas. It's not just New York. This is
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: across the country. They have all these flood areas. and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: they don't do anything to rectify it. And my belief
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is there's a lot of money to be made.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, a lot of money. And then, remember, the Fed's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: got to come in and bail you out because everybody screams,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: woe is me. Wait a second. This happens, what, every
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: few years?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You're still living there? You're still in the same condition?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You're going around in kayaks when there's flooding?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Well, it's hard to sell. I mean, it's really difficult
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to sell in those areas. I feel so bad for
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the people that live in areas that are flood areas.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And they do nothing. The government does nothing to fix
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: it because they invested in their house. They love their house.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: One day they want to sell it. or their kids
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: want to sell it and they're never going to get
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the money for it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: There's a move afoot, and I'd love talkbacks on this,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: whether it's South Shore, Staten Island, or those areas I mentioned,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to buy back those lands that are always underwater and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: turn them into what they were originally, marshlands. Because the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: floods are constantly coming.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that ship has sailed.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: People get wiped out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Ain't going to happen.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Well, they should because they have no remedy. They have
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: no remedy other than, okay, you're underwater again. What are
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we going to do?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you can talk about that, but certainly we want
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to talk about how you survived this storm and how
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: bad it was where you were. Go to the iHeartRadio
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: app and leave us a talkback. Really important to find
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: out how it was where you were because all you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: see on the news is, of course, the worst spots.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: But most of the spots didn't get hit that hard.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You could win a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the morning t-shirt, which will be awarded every day to

• 11:07
  Speaker 2: reception and clarity you deserve. When we come back, well,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: did you see SNL tonight? Don't worry, we got you covered.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You didn't miss much. Jalen Brunson from the Knicks was on.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: He was the host. How'd he do? You can decide
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: that next. Plus a chance to see Stevie Wonder at 825.

• 11:56
  Speaker 2: last night on Saturday Night Live, front and center, New
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: York Knicks finals MVP, Jalen Brunson. He was, how can
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I say this? He's not the first sports star to...
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: host SNL. The first one, by the way, was Fran
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Tarkenton back in 1977. Peyton Manning did it. Tom Brady
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: has done it. Travis Kelsey, you'll remember, did it. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: all of them were pretty good. And Jalen Brunson, well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I'll say this. As a host of SNL, he's still
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a really great basketball player. Great to be here. I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: very excited.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: You guys can probably tell by my voice and face.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: But tonight, I'm going to approach the post in the
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: same way I approach the Knicks finals game. So the
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: first three quarters of the show are going to be god-awful.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: The last sketch is going to be amazing.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: It's funny. He was stumbling through his lines. He was
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: laughing through the sketches, but it didn't matter. The New
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: York crowd just loved him.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Your new hero, LeBron James, now that he's with the 76ers,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I remember when Laura Ingram said, shut up and dribble.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Remember the LeBron James? You think that would be appropriate
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to Jalen Bronson?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: The thing is, the other Knicks were there. Four other
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Knicks were there. And they were really, really, really good.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, really good. Let me see. Who was there?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It was Josh Hart. It was Mikael Bridges. It was
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Carl Anthony... What's his last name? Carl Anthony... I can't
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: hear you crash. You're trying to save me and I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: can't hear you, but I'll go back to that in
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a second. But the best person there was OG on
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: an OB. You remember in game four, he's the one
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: that tipped in the game winning shot and he was
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: in the audience and they were asking questions of the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: other players in the audience. And he reminded Josh Hart
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of that moment.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Next question.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: OG.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Remember in game four when you took that shot in
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the end and you missed it?
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Do you remember what happened after? Yeah, you tipped it in.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: That was awesome.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: New York crowd, too.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Totally. But actually, what I did see, because I saw
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it late, late last night, was the bit that opened
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: it up. with the guy who does a great President
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Trump and the guy who does a great Zoran Mondami.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's Rami Youssef or something like that. That
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: was a well-done skit. I enjoyed that skit. The love
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: affair between Trump and Zoran Mondami for a national audience.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I kind of knew you would. Hey, you know what?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Our first talkback wants to talk about SNL.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, Larry. I also watched the new season of
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: SNL with the Knicks fans. you know, performing and all
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: the acts and everything. And God, I wish I can
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: get that hour and a half back.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, Larry, you hyped it. You tried your best.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I realize Jalen played in Philadelphia for Villanova, but come on, man.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: No, he was bad. He was really bad.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He stunk to join out.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: He did. He was the, of all the athletes that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: have ever been on, I would put him at the bottom.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: And Larry, I know you do this, and I think
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: this is a great tip for everybody.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Wait till the next day.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: They're all on YouTube in little bits, and then you
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: watch what you want.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Well, which I did, obviously, because I was away. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I actually enjoyed the opening skit. When I saw Jalen,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I was sort of, oh.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I know, it was bad. Let's get a couple talkbacks
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: about the weather.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: I live at the Jersey Shore, specifically Belmar, Spring Lake,
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: Manasquan area.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I'm a pet sitter.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: I was out all different times of days and nights,
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: with the exception of some wind at times, rough seas definitely,
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: some flooding and low line, you know, right on the coast.
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: It was just like a heavy, nasty, rainy weekend.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: You do get a different impression from TV news. They
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: show the worst of the worst. And you think, well,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not seeing any of that outside my door. So
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: it is a false reality on television. You're the reality.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm still going to give it to Ray Stajic when
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: we talk to him. I'm sorry. He was way too
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: laid back in advance of this. What some people would say, oh,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it's like Superstorm Sandy.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: No, not.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. According to our talkbacks, maybe Ray
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: was right. Now let's get the news at 6.30 with
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Gloria Alpinger. Oh, I did it again. I did it again.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: That is a great start to my week for me.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And I needed that today because believe it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: Or not, I am flooded out where I am.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: And I had to double back and turn around.
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Well, Bayonne is low and basically somebody sneezes and it floods.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I had to double back and find another
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: way into the city this morning.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: So I needed that laugh.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for covering for me. Can I reintroduce you?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Now the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger. Daria.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Lawrence. Showers through midday, high at 62 degrees.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: Your mom probably only calls you that, right? Or your
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: school teachers.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: In Catholic school?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: No?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Just you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: Just me?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Are you Lawrence?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I am Lawrence, yeah. All right. Moving on.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: What's left of a rare September nor'easter is moving out
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: of the area. ABC News meteorologist Leslie Lopez says it
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: caused some problems from the Carolinas to New England.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: In North Carolina, shoreline loss in the aftermath of the storm.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: Massive waves slamming into beachfront communities, tearing away at homes
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: and properties. The storm's winds going up to 80 miles
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: per hour in some areas, blasting the region. Hundreds of
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: thousands losing power in the northeast. The storm downing power lines,
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: damaging homes and smashing cars.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: And the main problem is in our area. Aside from
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: some flooding, we have power outages and some downed trees.
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: One of those trees fell on a night worker in
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: Brooklyn and killed him. Iran's foreign minister says his country
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: is fully prepared for more war, but also stands ready
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: for diplomacy. Abbas Arachi's comments come after President Trump rejected
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: Iran's proposal to To reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: president says Iran wants to make a deal because, quote,
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: they're losing so badly. A man is facing charges in
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: connection with the discovery of a dead woman in Central Park.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: Police arrested Jonathan Robles yesterday. The woman had head trauma
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: and multiple stab wounds to her body. SpaceX will attempt
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: to launch its massive Starship rocket into orbit this morning
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: from its base in Texas. The rocket is carrying more
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: than two dozen of the latest Starlink satellites. And there's
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: a day for everything. Today is National Drink Beer Day.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: Statistically, 38% of you are now cheering that news, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: you should because beer is great. It's the third most
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: consumed drink in the world, behind water and tea. It
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: lowers heart disease risk, is packed with antioxidants, and according
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: to behavioral studies, just hearing a beer pour into a
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: glass tells your brain it's no longer work time. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: at the end of business, crack open a beer, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: only one if you're a woman, two if you're a man,
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: as the health benefits wane the more you drink. I'm
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: Brie Tennis.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Giants win, Jets lose, Mets end their season with a
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: loss to Washington in the Yankees game against Baltimore was
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: rained out. Next up, game one of the wild card
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: series against Boston. Next, new 7 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm back. I was up in Marshall, New York,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: right near Lake Ontario, not Lake America. to rescue 20,000
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: beagles with 1,000 others. I'll give you the breakdown coming
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: up next. But our 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Capital One. is done and over. But to relieve all
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the biggest moments, all you got to do is be
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu beginning October 1st. Well, Larry,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I went up to Marshall, New York, which
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: is in the middle of nowhere. Apple orchards everywhere, farm country,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: dairy country. And Natalie, before I went up there to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: join a thousand people who wanted to rescue the 16,000
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: beagles that are being tested on at Marshall BioResource. kept
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: insisting that according to her GPS, it was near Rochester.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And I kept saying, no, it's 18 miles south of Utica.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: She said, no, my GPS says Rochester. So when I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: finally got to Marshall in the middle of an apple orchard,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I took a picture of this sign that said Rochester
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: 36 miles west. Just to prove that to you, Natalie.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Are you proving I was right or was wrong?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That you were wrong.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were saying she was right.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: No.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Because it was 36 miles away. Rochester, correct. So it's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: 18 miles south of Utica.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: But it was near Lake Ontario. And by the way, Larry,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: whether they were Trumpers or they voted for Harris or Biden,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: everybody up there was saying, no, it'll always be Lake Ontario.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's not Lake America. Well, put that aside. I was
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: amazed working my way up to Marshall, New York. To
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: join a thousand people, and not just locals who are
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: concerned about animal testing, they want to eliminate it, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: people who came from Washington State, Oregon, California, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and Wisconsin, especially the 27 who were arrested and charged
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: with serious felony crimes when they rescued those beagles, if
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you remember, back in June at the Rigland Farms in Wisconsin.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: eventually was closed down by the state. In fact, Jeanine
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Pirro adopted two of those beagles. She's always been an
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: animal lover and others did all over the country. 27
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: of these people face felony charges from the county that
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: have a penalty of six years. And they were talking
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: about the hardship and how they've had to go out
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and get lawyers. And I said to myself, Wait a second.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: In the liberal state of Wisconsin, if you killed somebody
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, you'd probably get six months, never mind six years.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: And apparently the prosecutors in that county have doubled down
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and they added charges. So there are now 51 total defendants.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And they're going to go on trial in January. They
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: all said, look, we're not going to accept a plea.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: We didn't do anything wrong. Rescuing beagles is what we
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: should do because there's no reason for animal testing whatsoever.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: But Rigland only had 2,000 beagles, 2,000. The last remaining
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: farm for beagles, where they create beagles for the sole
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: reason of testing, is the Marshall Bio Resource Place in
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, New York, where even the local
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: people didn't even know it was for beagle testing because
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: they thought, oh, it's probably the warehouse, you know, where
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: they pack the apples, they turn it into apple cider.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: They didn't know what it was? No, I'm telling you,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: when you pass this place, it's a forest that surrounds it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You have no idea other than the people who work there.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that this beagle testing, and it's not just beagles, there's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: 16,000 beagles that they breed for testing, horrible tests, but
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: there are also cats, there are ferrets, and there are piglets,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: so a total of 20,000 animals. So these 1,000 people,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: many of them first assembled in Albany two weeks ago
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and then marched. 210 miles and hit every town along
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the way spreading the message all assembled there I was
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: glad to join them and wow it was raucous but
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Natalie remember before I went up there the organizers asked
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: us to change what we had posted Because the state
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: police were claiming, what? Curtis Lee was coming up? He'll
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: go over the fence.
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: You better do something about that guy. We've done a
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: rap sheet on him. This guy has been arrested 82 times.
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: He doesn't mind getting arrested, which was true. But then
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: the organizers said to me, it's not this time. Six
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: months from now, we're going to shut it down because
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: we have assistance.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: There's a couple things. Let me just say, there's a
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: couple things that bother me about this whole thing, this story.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, aside from the obvious, the fact that they're
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: testing animals up there. You're right. Wisconsin got a lot
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of play. It was a national story. It was on
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the national news. So you have this protest. Nobody covered it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I went and looked. Some of the local stations, WAM
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: TV up there covered it. Nobody covered it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Well, if we had done what I wanted to do
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and go over the fence and they would have had
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: tear gas and other measures to stop us and arrest,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you know, that would have gone in coverage, but they
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: plan on doing it. The good thing.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: That's what happened in Wisconsin.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: They went inside. That got them coverage, and that shut
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: it down. So this, what you're doing right now, ain't
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: going to work. Well, but there is tactical air support,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm proud of our Republicans. Nick Landworthy, congressman from
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: West New York, Nicole Maliatakis, our local congresswoman, and Nancy
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Mace have sponsored the legislation to end all testing on animals.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: And as you saw recently, RFK Jr.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the Secretary of Health and Human Services, said There will
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: be no more testing of animals. So the tide is turning,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm happy to see that the Republicans are leading
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the effort in the House and our Secretary of Health
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and Human Services, RFK Jr., is leading the way.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You better hope it gets voted on before the midterms.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be talking about that later on in the show.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Not looking too good for Republicans.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I have to say, it is a shame that we
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: had to take down that video because you were fired
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: up in your Parker jacket.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I was ready to get arrested. You still did a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: good job. People got to, you know, up there.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: A thousand people to show up near the Canadian border
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: is impressive.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it was them. They've been organizing this for months. Meantime,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I got a piece of my mind to give Ray Stajic. Oh, no.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: He'll be up next. Oh, he was like, com-si, com-sa, la-la-me, la-la-you.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: It'll be okay.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. He never said it would be okay. Never
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: did he say it would be okay.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I seem to remember it differently, Larry. I think you do.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: We'll review it with Ray Stajic up next, our weather guy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel so bad for Ray Stajic right now.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Ray Stajic, WOR Weather Channel meteorologist. And I feel bad
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: because I thought he did a really nice job on Friday.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: He's one of the best meteorologists in the country. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: he was even keeled and level-headed about the storm that
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: was going to hit. And I remember you saying it
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: was going to be bad along the shorelines, maybe not
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: so bad everywhere else. But Curtis doesn't see it that way.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: And so I'm going to let him take over because, well,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry for what's going to happen now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: Larry, I appreciate that. But I came in here thinking,
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: all right, damn good job on that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, too.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: Curtis, let's go.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Well, Ray, it would figure weather guys are together forever. Larry,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: having been the weather forecaster in San Diego, boy, that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: was a tough job, Larry. And you, Ray, when you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: use that weather forecasting terminology back and forth that none
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of us seem to understand. So I'm listening to you
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and the buildup to the Nor'easter. And when all was
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: said and done, two days of getting pounded, and I'm
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: saying to myself, our guy, Ray Stajic, he was the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: weather guy on Quaaludes. I mean, he was like, laid back, cool, calm,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and collected. Don't worry about it. Meantime, there are people
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in Howard Beach, Hamilton Beach, the Rockaway Center.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: This is worse than Superstorm Sandy.
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: Well, I didn't say that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: No, you didn't, but they did.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: So they must be right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: Well, there might be isolated areas where the water came
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: up as high as Sandy. I did hear a couple
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: of reports of that. But when you're talking widespread overall,
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: and you ended up being divided by, hey, how did
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: we do overall? And overall, I would think that, yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: there were impacts. And certainly, I'd say minor to moderate
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: impacts would probably fit into right what we're saying on Friday. So, yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: certainly there's always areas that get a little bit more
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: than maybe the whole world sees in isolated spots. But
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: one or three inches of rain, that about worked out
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: almost three inches at Central Park. But there were some
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: higher totals on Long Island where we expected four or
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: five inches. But it came over the course of a
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: couple of days.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Gusty winds.
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: Did everyone gust a month to a point 81 miles
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: per hour?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: But that was.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: at elevation. So there was a little elevation where that
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: was recorded too. So down at the surface might not
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: have been realized as quite that strong, but again, that's
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: an isolated wind gust. And there's another one, I think
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: near 74 miles per hour, but, um, spotty power outages.
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: So I don't know who Curtis is listening to, but
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: that sounds like pretty darn good forecasting.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: It was an excellent forecast, an excellent forecast. It really was.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: It's the problem is that Curtis and just about everybody else,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: all they watch is the news and they see all
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: of the worst areas and only the worst areas where
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the majority of the areas like myself and like Natalie
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: we were going we were outside looking and sometimes it
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't raining going I thought it was supposed to rain
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: all day and it was.
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: Nothing right I think if there's one thing at least
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: for me when I was watching radar on Saturday I
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: was saying I thought maybe the rain shield would have
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: been a little bit more filled in, a little more
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: persistent than it was. But still, quite a bit of rain,
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: which we did need.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Ray. You spend all
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of your day whiling away, whiling away the hours watching
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: radar all day. Oh, my God. I can't imagine anything
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: more boring watching a radar screen all day.
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: That was in between commercials of the three football games
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: I was watching.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. Give us some good news.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: We have clearer skies ahead.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we get past today. Still kind of yucky out
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: there today. But a lot of the rain is north
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: as you go up the Hudson Valley and through Orange
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: County and Westchester County. That's all going west and north.
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: We've got some leftover showers. Probably going to stay a
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: little cloudy, breezy, and cool today. Still in the 60s,
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: probably even the low to mid-60s. And then by Tuesday
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: and Wednesday as we wrap up the month, absolutely gorgeous.
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: Low to mid-70s, sunshine, overnight lows in the 50s. But
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: I didn't be near 80 with sunshine for the rest
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: of the week. I don't see another rain chance in
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: here until later in the weekend as we get into
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: the first few days of October. The only one thing
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: I did want to say, you know, Nor'easter, let's just
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: be thankful it wasn't the middle of winter and this
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: wasn't a snow event because we'd be probably talking about
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: a whole different ball of wax when you figure.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Let me alert you that there was some good news
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in the city. None of the sewer guys were down
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in the subterranean underground because they would have all drowned.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Two days of steady rain.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: More importantly, did you save the beagles?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you're sticking me here, Ray. The state police
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: prevented me from rescuing the beagles. So, ah, touche. Touche.
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: I really had no idea.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Touche, Ray.
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: You're welcome.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Well, nice job, Ray. I think you did a great
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: job in forecasting this. So thank you so much for
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: telling us what was going to happen last week. And
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I apologize, as always, for Curtis. Ray Stajic, WOR Weather
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Channel meteorologist.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Up next, oh, Washington, D.C. is consumed with talk of
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. The president had dinner last night with an adversary.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to have AI executives in D.C. for a
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: conference on Tuesday. And that's the buzz. What to do
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: about AI. Up next, but first, 7 o'clock and the news.
