  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from wor this is curtis lewa
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and larry minty in the morning 7 10 wor well
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: look who's here man the last time you were with
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us chris the quiet storm unknown from the mark simone
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: show You just, it was like your debutante ball. You
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: came out and you were flexing about hot dogs and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: baseball parks. And I got to tell you, Larry and I,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we were like stunned at how you were exuberant. We
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: had to cut you off at times. You were so talkative.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Let's calm down a little bit. Exuberant by his standards. Yeah,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I set a low bar for myself, but I exceeded it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: But you were good.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, you did. Talkative by his standards. You blew away
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners. He went from saying no
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: words to about 50. To a handful, yeah. And you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: were on loan to us because Natalie is out today.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So you got to do the heavy lifting. I understand
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you're looking forward to after the show because the Rockettes
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: are showing up from Radio City Music Hall. You notice, Chris,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a little perky today, Larry. That would be interesting. Are
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you really into the Rockettes? Yeah, I've been stretching my
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: legs extra hard. I want to do the kicks with
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: them today. Really? No, I'm kidding. No, now that you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: said that. No, I can't kick that eye. I cannot
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: kick that eye.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: We need to get a video of you doing kicks
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: with the Rockettes.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, and this is your sweet spot, Larry.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: There is an individual somewhere in New Jersey. Who has
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: won a jackpot that almost reached Elon Musk numbers, right? Well,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: not quite.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Close to a billion dollars. Well, except you don't get that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. The big number you see, you're not
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: ending up with. But you end up with a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of money. I mean, it's still great. It's going to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: change their life.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Do we know who this person is? No, no, no.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: They're in Jersey again. What is it about Jersey? I know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: California and Jersey, I think they're the two top states
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: in winning, and Ohio's like third. But Jersey, Jersey, Jersey.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: If you're going to get a lotto ticket, get it
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: in Jersey. But the problem when you get a lotto
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: ticket out of state is that that's another state tax
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you have to pay on it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Right. Forget what I just said. Just buy it in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: your own state. So the payout on this, the winning ticket,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: because I understand this guy who bought a ticket, he
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: only bought one. He didn't buy a whole handful of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tickets like people do. He is able to receive a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: prize and naturally all the tax is taken out. What
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: did it hit?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So it hit $ 863 million. And $ 863 million, if you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: want that, you get it over 30 years. And they
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: also increase it by 5% every year, whatever the payout
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: is to set with inflation.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of nice.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But most people that win the lottery feel like I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: not going to be around in 30 years. And so
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: they don't take the big payout. What they'll take is
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the single payout, which, by the way, is much, much lower.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It's less than $ 400 million.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But then hold on.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Then you've got Federal taxes, 24% of that's going to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: come out on federal taxes. And then you have state taxes.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And in New Jersey, that would be 8%. So you're
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: losing 30% of that. So even though it's up there
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and it tells you on the billboards you could win
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: $ 863 million, he's going to walk away with about $ 200 million.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: One thing we could say, whoever this gentleman is, when
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it finally emerges who he is, He will not any
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: longer list affordability and cost of living as his main concern. Yeah, no,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that's true. That's absolutely true. So he'll be able to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: walk away with about $ 300 million, right?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And we'll probably never know who it is. No, probably
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit less than that. But yes, yes, in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the $ 200 million to $ 300 million range. So yeah, except
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that it's not that number that you see.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It never is. Now, I won one time in New York.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And the problem is.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't live in New York. And so I had
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to pay a federal tax on it. I had to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: pay a state tax on it. I had to pay
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a city tax on it. And then I had to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: pay another state tax on it. So I won at
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the time. It was five numbers, but they didn't give
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you a million dollars back then. It was $ 250, 000. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I ended up with about $ 157, 000. Not a bad payday. No,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I wasn't complaining. It's just that the advertised price that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you see, the advertised payout that you see, you ain't
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: going to get that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Chris, have you ever played a lot of all these games, Powerball?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I've played the Powerball Mega Millions a few times, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it gets really high. Isn't that funny? I mean, yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I would take, even if today, when it resets, if
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I won today, I would be I don't know what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do with myself. It's going to reset
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: at $ 20 million and people go, oh, no. Apparently that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not worth it for me, even though I'm never going
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to make that much money in my life. Wow. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: now we got hot dogs, baseball parks around the country,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and lotto tickets.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: There's so many things we're learning about you quite some.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But how about the fact that he's now wearing his
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Giants hat? Did you notice that a lot of Giants
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: hats are now.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Coming out now? You haven't seen them the last few years.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden everybody's flexing. But let's provide
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: public service as we did yesterday because they don't do
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it at WABC. They don't take calls in the morning.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You know, it's the Israel First radio program there. We
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: continued to take talkbacks all morning long. In fact, we
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: even cleared out segments where we did only talkbacks. You
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity. I call it PTSD, post-Trump stress disorder,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to be able to vent. Whether you're going to dance
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the aura and the tarantella, which I don't think many
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of our listeners are, or you have recommendations and suggestions
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because it's starting to marinate in. When the New York
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Post has on its front cover, blue tsunami, you know
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's beginning to marinate in. It's like, what are your
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts about this? You know, we haven't even completed the week.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: This is all anybody wants to talk about. And everybody
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is a Monday morning quarterback. You know, they all have
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: recommendations on what everybody needs to do.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I hope we're at that point. I haven't felt that yet.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's happened yet. I think people are
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: still angry. And we'll find out today. It'll be a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: good thermometer today. Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lewa and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, which would be awarded
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: every day to our favorite talk back of the morning.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And while you're on the free High Heart Radio app,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the best talk back of the morning takes home a
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: C-Crane radio. I'm getting really tired of the blue tsunami thing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: It's only said by people who have no sense of
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: history whatsoever, and recent history. I mean, this happens. This happens.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And it's happened many, many times.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And as I pointed out yesterday, this doesn't make the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: top 10 of overwhelming midterms.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So it is a wave.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not I will not question that at all. It's
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a blue wave. But, you know, to make it something
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that's historic and has never happened before.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And it's it's this.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Big rejection of donald trump it is a rejection of
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: his policies there's no question well but it's not it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: not historic uh later.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: On we're going to talk about the race for the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: presidency in 2028 has already begun as of yesterday as
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it always does by the way right unofficial yes but
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with the blessings of the president who allowed vance To
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: issue his release, we'll go into the details. DeSantis was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: flexing in Florida. I think he used a word far
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: more draconian than blue tsunami. I'm going to find that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: word when we talk about him. But there have been
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: words issued by Republicans who would never have used that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: language before if Donald Trump wasn't a lame duck who
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: lost the House and the Senate. And, you know, even
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on our new newswoman, From WABC, Liz Radabali came up
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to me and she said, oh, you were on the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: low side. Remember when my predictions came out of the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: political marketplace? You know, I said the Democrats will win
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: 53 seats and the House will be 240 seats. She
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: said to me, you know, you're on the low side.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And it turns out, presently, I am on the low side.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Everybody thought I was crazy when I made those predictions.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But I am on the low side. I think the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Democrats are like at 254.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I'm looking right now. They're still counting. You know, there's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: still seats that are out there. Could go up to 260.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: You know where it is exactly right now? It's 240
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: 240.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That would be my prediction. But we know there's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot more. There's a lot more
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: out there that still have to be counted. It may
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: take several days. There may be recounts. They've been so
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: close in some of these districts that there may be recounts. Unfortunately,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the ones that there's going to be recounts in are
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: districts that were held by Republicans. So those are potential
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: losses for the Republicans.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But I tell you, this is a perfect opportunity for
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: all of you to vent out there. More importantly, we'll
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have John Decker with us at 7. He went on
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the tour of the ballroom yesterday with President Donald Trump
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: as he addressed the loss, what J.D. Vance had done
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: with his blessings, and more importantly, how he said, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm going to give him a pass from
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: now on. Guys, gals, you have to understand when I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: do these construction projects, it relaxes me. I had never
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: thought of that. This is like his hobby. It's replaced golf.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: He doesn't get to golf much anymore.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You know how many construction sites that man has been
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: on in his life? This is probably his home away
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: from home. He loves this.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, but I want the president to be relaxed because
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: when he's over the top, it doesn't help. It doesn't help.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And now we have some ideas coming up of how
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the president can take advantage of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Get him into that White House office. and make a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: deal on a few issues that are not going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: hurt the Republicans, but it's like a little bit of
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a giveover to the Democrats so that the president can
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: fulfill his promise, which he said yesterday. He goes, you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: there's some things on immigration I'll talk about. Some things
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: about the economy and tariffs I'll talk about. Take advantage
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of it now, because after January 1st, when all these
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: new jacked Democrats get sworn.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: In, You had a great point a moment ago, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I think you're exactly correct that the president needs to
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: get out on front on this. He needs to come.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: He needs to have an address to the nation to
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: talk about the proposals he would like to talk about
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: with the new Congress and make it some things that
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: everybody wants. Put them on their heels for a second.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And I think he should do so after he's toured
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the ballroom. Relax yourself. Remember, sometimes the president, when he's
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: done those nationwide addresses, he's a little too tense, a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: little too angry. If that's his form of prozac, this
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: is good. This is good. As we just said, we're
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: going to get all your talkbacks.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: You already have some of them coming in. Some of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: your talkbacks are coming in at this moment.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So we'll be able to get them. Because it'll be
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: your turn to be heard. Your opinion counts here at
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: 710WOR with Larry and Curtis in the morning. This has
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: been a podcast from WOR.
