Hour 3: Freedom 250 Grand Prix · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, I think some of the Republicans are paying attention
0:03
Speaker 1: to the polls right now. For instance, galapat a survey
0:07
Speaker 1: about AI data centers and if you would want one
0:10
Speaker 1: near you Near you, seventy five percent of the public
0:14
Speaker 1: opposes nearby data center construction, with more than sixty percent
0:20
Speaker 1: strongly opposing it. And here we go into the midterm elections.
0:24
Speaker 1: So Governor Abbott, who welcomed fifteen hundred to two thousand
0:28
Speaker 1: data centers into Texas, has had a change of heart
0:33
Speaker 1: because he said, look at we gave them money, we
0:36
Speaker 1: gave them grants. All we asked for was some information
0:41
Speaker 1: in return, exactly how much you're affecting the power grade,
0:45
Speaker 1: how much water you're using. And he wasn't getting any
0:48
Speaker 1: of the reports back, and he said, okay, you dug
0:52
Speaker 1: your own grave. So he's stopping construction of new data
0:56
Speaker 1: centers and he's stopping operation of data centers until he
1:01
Speaker 1: gets some more information.
1:03
Speaker 2: They had not been working in collaboration with the state,
1:06
Speaker 2: they've not been working in collaboration with local governments, and
1:09
Speaker 2: so they basically dug their own grave for the problem
1:12
Speaker 2: that's been calls for them, and that's why they got
1:13
Speaker 2: the backlash they deserve, and that's why these new standards
1:16
Speaker 2: are in place to make sure they're not going to
1:19
Speaker 2: be able to operate until they come at a compliance
1:21
Speaker 2: with the standards that I have set.
1:23
Speaker 1: That was a huge move. It was the first of
1:25
Speaker 1: its kind in the country. It's not just a moratorium
1:28
Speaker 1: on new construction like Governor Hockel did. This is places
1:32
Speaker 1: that are already operating have to now get up to standards,
1:37
Speaker 1: community standards, and he's done some new things. He said,
1:41
Speaker 1: any electricity you don't use has to be sent back
1:44
Speaker 1: to the state. You all have to have your own
1:46
Speaker 1: power grids, which isn't happening. All the water you use,
1:51
Speaker 1: if you recycle, give it back to the community, don't
1:54
Speaker 1: just keep it for yourself. Many many things, including months
2:00
Speaker 1: reporting to the state on usage of everything and how
2:05
Speaker 1: much money you've given back to the community.
2:08
Speaker 2: I am now coming in as governor saying listen, if
2:10
Speaker 2: you're a data center and you want to operate on Texas,
2:13
Speaker 2: you have to first get the approval of those in
2:16
Speaker 2: local communities. And that's why I set that standard. No
2:19
Speaker 2: data centers disturbing local communities in Texas.
2:23
Speaker 1: And that's the last part of it. The last part
2:25
Speaker 1: of it is he said any new data center is
2:28
Speaker 1: going to have to go before a local board and
2:33
Speaker 1: there has to be a referendum and they have to
2:36
Speaker 1: approve it before it happens. And the big part about this, Curtis, is,
2:40
Speaker 1: of course this goes against what Donald Trump has been saying. However,
2:44
Speaker 1: he also has amended what he's saying.
2:48
Speaker 3: If you pick the right location, and it's going to
2:50
Speaker 3: be not every location it's perfect part, but you pick
2:53
Speaker 3: the right location, what it means for a community's jobs
2:56
Speaker 3: and lots of money and lords axes.
2:59
Speaker 1: That's the first time he's put that a little bit
3:02
Speaker 1: of a twist on it when he said not every
3:04
Speaker 1: community is right for this, and if you pick the
3:06
Speaker 1: right location. So I think Donald Trump and the Republican
3:10
Speaker 1: Party at large is now seeing the writing in the polls.
3:14
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely. You just look at these town hall meetings.
3:18
Speaker 4: People are outraged. It doesn't matter whether they're Republicans, Democrats,
3:23
Speaker 4: or independence. They are outraged when they show up and
3:27
Speaker 4: find out there was no public awareness or engagement in
3:31
Speaker 4: creating a data filing center right in their backyard.
3:35
Speaker 5: And I have said this repeatedly.
3:37
Speaker 4: You couldn't have asked for worst spokespersons than appeared for
3:42
Speaker 4: the industry. First was Kevin O'Leary, smug arrogant. First of all,
3:47
Speaker 4: he's Canadian, not even an American, right, lives in Miami Beach.
3:51
Speaker 4: And he go on all these shows. It didn't matter.
3:54
Speaker 4: He went on MS Now, he went on Fox News, CNN.
3:57
Speaker 4: He was wearing that hat, you know, data filing centers,
4:01
Speaker 4: and man, he got cut down of shreds because no noise,
4:04
Speaker 4: don't worry about the water, don't worry about your quality
4:08
Speaker 4: of life. We're going to create jobs for you. And
4:11
Speaker 4: so he crashed and burnt so on radio. Who did
4:14
Speaker 4: they elevate our own Steve Moore, who's a regular guest
4:18
Speaker 4: with Mark Simone. Remember, oh, there's no noise, what are
4:21
Speaker 4: you talking about?
4:22
Speaker 5: This? He'll be a boom for the economy.
4:24
Speaker 4: And then people say, Steve, do you live there d
4:26
Speaker 4: a filing center, you know for artificial intelligence?
4:29
Speaker 5: The answer is no.
4:31
Speaker 4: And now the worst spokes spokesperson of all has emerged
4:35
Speaker 4: at a time where he is on civil trial for
4:41
Speaker 4: misusing Meta and Facebook to lure young people into its
4:46
Speaker 4: use and then were subject to being perved on and
4:49
Speaker 4: everything else. Mark Zuckerberg he's the new spokesperson. He's done
4:54
Speaker 4: that editorials, he's spoken out on it. Yeah, it's like
4:58
Speaker 4: having the three Stooges there. You know, we'll actually go
5:01
Speaker 4: out and try to sell this. And people are in
5:03
Speaker 4: a rage. And I think Governor Habit remember with competing
5:07
Speaker 4: with the governor of Louisiana. The Governor of Louisiana was saying,
5:10
Speaker 4: anyway you want to put up a dad of filing
5:12
Speaker 4: center for waterficial intelligence, welcome to Louisiana. It'll be interesting
5:18
Speaker 4: if that governor does a pivot and shift in Baton
5:20
Speaker 4: Rouge because the public sentiment is growing against it.
5:25
Speaker 1: This is exactly why I love America. I do love.
5:28
Speaker 1: I love this country. That people showed up in town halls.
5:33
Speaker 1: You remember it really started in New Jersey, all the
5:36
Speaker 1: people in New Jersey going to city council into the
5:39
Speaker 1: town halls and speaking up, and that grew across the country.
5:43
Speaker 1: And now town halls are packed, the city council meetings
5:49
Speaker 1: are packed with people all saying that they're all sharing
5:53
Speaker 1: their discontent, all saying they don't want them in one
5:56
Speaker 1: of these places near them, and they're what's called Mayor
6:00
Speaker 1: Abbatt to do this? What caused Governor Hokl to do
6:03
Speaker 1: what she's doing, what caused Donald Trump to change his
6:07
Speaker 1: position just a little bit, because they're seeing the same
6:10
Speaker 1: poll numbers we see, they see the same meetings we see.
6:14
Speaker 1: And so it was the people themselves. And that's what's
6:17
Speaker 1: so special about this country. Most other countries, that wouldn't
6:21
Speaker 1: have happened, But the people rising up and banding together
6:24
Speaker 1: are going to make a substantial change in this.
6:27
Speaker 5: Well, you need to be credited for that, Larry.
6:29
Speaker 4: You brought this to our attention here on the most
6:32
Speaker 4: powerful radio station in New York WIN number one in
6:35
Speaker 4: the mornings. Now, there's no doubt about it. And you
6:38
Speaker 4: kept banging away every time it was a town hall
6:41
Speaker 4: meeting in New Jersey. I gotta tell you, I listened
6:43
Speaker 4: to a lot of talk radio. Nobody was talking about
6:46
Speaker 4: it back then. Now they're forced to talk about it
6:49
Speaker 4: because of this dramatic pivot in shift and all election
6:53
Speaker 4: issues involving House House elections, not so much the US Senate,
6:57
Speaker 4: but House elections oftentimes decided on what is the momentary
7:04
Speaker 4: issue that is affecting most of the electorate. And I
7:07
Speaker 4: think the Republicans who are all for this have now
7:11
Speaker 4: decided this is not good for us. You know who's
7:13
Speaker 4: got to wake up on this, Blakeman. Remember we were
7:16
Speaker 4: discussing with Astorino and Aserena said, he should take a
7:19
Speaker 4: pass on this. I don't think Blakeman realizes how upstate
7:23
Speaker 4: in other communities that this is an issue that galvanizes
7:27
Speaker 4: a vote for Hochel.
7:28
Speaker 5: Because Hockel tried.
7:29
Speaker 4: To go out front, and yet he jumped right in
7:31
Speaker 4: and said, oh no, I'm for the data filing centers
7:34
Speaker 4: for artificial intelligence.
7:36
Speaker 5: I would hope he follows now.
7:39
Speaker 4: Within the shadow of Governor Abbott and takes a different position,
7:43
Speaker 4: because this should not be an issue that hurts him.
7:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it will. It's going to hurt and people
7:48
Speaker 1: are extremely passionate about this. Let's talk about Donald Trump
7:52
Speaker 1: for a second. We played him a second ago talking
7:55
Speaker 1: about the data centers, but he's also out there talking
7:59
Speaker 1: about the around war and he's basically I don't think
8:02
Speaker 1: he's come out and said this yet, but he's basically
8:05
Speaker 1: saying we've already won. He's trying to put it in
8:08
Speaker 1: the rear view mirror at this point because of the
8:12
Speaker 1: elections coming up, and to a certain point, he's right
8:17
Speaker 1: there apparently is some infighting right now in Iran about
8:22
Speaker 1: trying to get out of this because of the economic
8:25
Speaker 1: sanctions and the increased economic pressure and the fact that
8:29
Speaker 1: there's a blockade. And Donald Trump talked about all of that,
8:33
Speaker 1: but he also said this about the Straits of Hormuz.
8:36
Speaker 3: So I view the Strait of Hormoneses in American territory.
8:40
Speaker 5: Right now, it's an American territory.
8:43
Speaker 1: And now the traffic is up four hundred percent, And
8:46
Speaker 1: that's what he said too, And he's correct about that.
8:49
Speaker 1: The traffic's up four hundred percent, but Curtis, it's nowhere
8:52
Speaker 1: near what it was.
8:54
Speaker 4: And the big problem here is the Secretary of Treasury
8:57
Speaker 4: is going to announce tomorrow, I believe it, no actually today,
9:02
Speaker 4: what he's calling the d Day of economic sanctions. So
9:06
Speaker 4: we're not talking about dropping bombs or putting boots on
9:09
Speaker 4: the ground tightening up sanctions on any country that has
9:14
Speaker 4: any economic relationship with Iran. Now that's great, except their
9:19
Speaker 4: best trading partner and their best ally is Red China.
9:23
Speaker 5: What are you going to do to Red China?
9:25
Speaker 4: Because whatever you decide to do to Red China impacts
9:28
Speaker 4: us directly. So I would be very intent on wanting
9:32
Speaker 4: to listen to what our Secretary of Treasury says today.
9:35
Speaker 4: Because Red China gets most of their oil from Iran,
9:40
Speaker 4: they also send a lot of supplies to Iran, not
9:43
Speaker 4: just through the Straits of Hermus, the Caspian Sea and
9:46
Speaker 4: also overland. So if the Treasury Secretary acknowledges that, I
9:51
Speaker 4: think the world acknowledge is at what are you going
9:54
Speaker 4: to do to the Red Chinese who are expected President
9:56
Speaker 4: she to be in Washington to return the favor to
10:00
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, to sit with him in the White House
10:03
Speaker 4: and discuss a number of issues that are vital to
10:06
Speaker 4: both nations all over the globe.
10:08
Speaker 1: We'll see what he does. But what's amazing is that
10:10
Speaker 1: a couple of the Arab countries have already signed on,
10:13
Speaker 1: including the UAE. So it seems like our greatest allies
10:17
Speaker 1: used to be our enemies, and now we're buddy buddy
10:20
Speaker 1: with people that are surrounding Iran. And that's a good
10:23
Speaker 1: thing for America when we come back. Well. By all accounts,
10:28
Speaker 1: the Freedom two point fifty Grand Prix was a huge success.
10:33
Speaker 1: We'll check in on that, plus a chance to see Chicago.
10:37
Speaker 4: Next our iHeartRadio Music festival is presented by Capitol One
10:45
Speaker 4: and it's back with a Blast, featuring live performances by
10:49
Speaker 4: Benson Boone, Google Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney, Wilson Aymore September
10:54
Speaker 4: eighteenth to nineteenth and T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
10:57
Speaker 4: That's two nights, one stage. While the world is listening
11:01
Speaker 4: on iHeartRadio.
11:02
Speaker 5: You could be there.
11:03
Speaker 4: Three chances every weekday for you to win your trip
11:07
Speaker 4: for two US one thousand dollars in spending money, Next
11:11
Speaker 4: Chance to Text and when happens at nine am today
11:16
Speaker 4: on seven to ten, Woo Bust.
11:18
Speaker 1: Over the weekend in the nation's capital, the Freedom two
11:21
Speaker 1: fifty Grand Prix transformed some of the nation's most famous
11:26
Speaker 1: streets Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Independence Avenues into a racetrack. They
11:33
Speaker 1: estimate that one hundred and forty thousand people showed up
11:37
Speaker 1: to see this, coming from all over the country. For
11:40
Speaker 1: a time, so many people were trying to get in
11:43
Speaker 1: they shut down a couple of the bridges and they
11:46
Speaker 1: had to stop pedestrian walkways for a while. So this
11:50
Speaker 1: was a huge success and in the end an American
11:54
Speaker 1: took the crown.
11:56
Speaker 6: It will only be.
11:56
Speaker 5: One winner of the freedom to fifty and how fits
11:59
Speaker 5: it that is Kyle Kirkwood.
12:03
Speaker 6: That's a sectary of transportation waves a check at flag.
12:07
Speaker 6: Kyle Kirkwood wins an American on the top step of
12:11
Speaker 6: the podium at the Freedom to fifteen.
12:14
Speaker 1: Kirkwood was ahead in one hundred and twenty eight of
12:17
Speaker 1: the one hundred and forty seven laps in the two
12:20
Speaker 1: day event, so he he won it going away. It
12:23
Speaker 1: was so much so that you heard that guy stretching
12:27
Speaker 1: to get to get to the finish line as he
12:29
Speaker 1: was talking, and Kirkwood had nothing but praise for Donald Trump.
12:35
Speaker 4: I mean, it.
12:35
Speaker 7: Hasn't really settled in yet. Right, Like I won the race,
12:39
Speaker 7: I get out of the car, I see President Trump
12:42
Speaker 7: sitting there cheering me on as a proud American. That's
12:45
Speaker 7: a that's a pretty big deal to have the President
12:47
Speaker 7: cheering you on. Nothing else like it, right.
12:51
Speaker 4: Well, this is remember this is a continuation of the
12:54
Speaker 4: celebration of our two hundred and fiftieth birthday. Nobody else
12:57
Speaker 4: is doing anything. Nobody you don't hear about it any longer, period.
13:02
Speaker 4: So I apployed the President for doing this. I would
13:05
Speaker 4: have preferred, though, if Mario Andretti Junior would have won
13:08
Speaker 4: from Nasuath, Pennsylvania. They're big Trump supporters, and that there
13:12
Speaker 4: would have been a sign at the end. Even though
13:14
Speaker 4: it doesn't sell as much as it used to, stp
13:17
Speaker 4: the race's edge.
13:19
Speaker 5: And granted, Telly, this is what you need in your
13:22
Speaker 5: car now.
13:24
Speaker 1: It was a huge success. They've been talking about having
13:27
Speaker 1: a Grand Prix there before and nobody was able to
13:30
Speaker 1: pull it off. Trump pulled it off for the two
13:32
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth and so you're right, kudos to Donald
13:36
Speaker 1: Trump for pulling this off. And I got a feeling
13:38
Speaker 1: this is going to be an annual thing. We'll wait
13:41
Speaker 1: and see, but they already are talking about it. Let's
13:43
Speaker 1: get to your talkbacks.
13:45
Speaker 8: Anybody out there really honestly believes that the money from
13:49
Speaker 8: congestion pricing is actually going where it needs to go.
13:53
Speaker 5: I got a bridge to sell you because it ain't
13:55
Speaker 5: going there. Well, which bridge is at the WILLIAMS.
13:58
Speaker 4: Urt Bridge, There's Manhattan Bridge, the ed Cotch aka Queensboro
14:04
Speaker 4: aka fifty nine Street Bridge. We haven't even shuttled that yet. No,
14:07
Speaker 4: but he's right. Every time they do this, they tell
14:11
Speaker 4: us money is going to go specifically to a particular project,
14:15
Speaker 4: and you can't true the money taking agency DMTA.
14:18
Speaker 1: You can't next AI centers.
14:22
Speaker 3: Hey, Larry and Curtis. The whole AI data center thing, Yeah,
14:26
Speaker 3: that's Chinese propaganda. I think people on the inside.
14:30
Speaker 5: Truly know that.
14:32
Speaker 3: However, the media is driving the message. It's the same
14:36
Speaker 3: stupid messaging that drove the Nimby crowd back in the
14:40
Speaker 3: day and put us so far behind on nuclear technology. Look,
14:44
Speaker 3: industrial centers run factories that we don't hear.
14:49
Speaker 5: The same can be.
14:50
Speaker 1: Done with AI, but they don't put the factories right
14:52
Speaker 1: next to your home. That's the difference. There's industrial parks
14:56
Speaker 1: and that's where the AI data centers should go. But
14:59
Speaker 1: many of these, you know, like in some of the
15:01
Speaker 1: areas in New Jersey, they were older buildings that had
15:05
Speaker 1: a company just moved on and they use those buildings
15:08
Speaker 1: and they were right in the middle of the communities.
15:10
Speaker 1: I'm with you on AI data centers. I am absolutely
15:14
Speaker 1: with you. I think America should be first. It's a
15:16
Speaker 1: necessary evil, or it's a it's I shouldn't even call
15:20
Speaker 1: it an evil because it's a human advancement. Yes, we
15:24
Speaker 1: need the data centers, but you can't tell me it's
15:27
Speaker 1: he's propaganda when I hear from people that it's affected.
15:31
Speaker 1: When you go to go to YouTube and look at
15:34
Speaker 1: data centers across the country and hear the people that
15:37
Speaker 1: can't sleep at night because it's too loud, No, no, no,
15:40
Speaker 1: it's not Chinese propaganda.
15:41
Speaker 7: You know.
15:41
Speaker 5: The first one and try that was Kevin O'Leary of
15:44
Speaker 5: Shark Tank.
15:45
Speaker 4: He said, all those Mormons who came out to those
15:48
Speaker 4: meetings and Utah were influenced by the Red Chinese. And
15:51
Speaker 4: they said, no, we're followers of the Church of the
15:54
Speaker 4: Latter day Saints. And by the way, this is not
15:56
Speaker 4: a religious issue. This is a community issue. And all
16:00
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you didn't hear Kevin o'lric So
16:01
Speaker 4: this guy is reading from the old script. Yeah, it's
16:04
Speaker 4: not being generated by the Red Chinese. The opposition.
16:07
Speaker 5: No, And they just have.
16:08
Speaker 1: To be good neighbors, that's it. They just have to
16:10
Speaker 1: be reasonable. Move it to somewhere where people aren't.
16:14
Speaker 9: You know, you guys are trying to get this ground
16:17
Speaker 9: swell against data centers, but nobody's willing to give up
16:21
Speaker 9: all the things that we require from data centers, our iPhones,
16:25
Speaker 9: our Internet, our Google, our AI our GPS. You know
16:33
Speaker 9: nobody wants to give that up. But you're trying to
16:35
Speaker 9: get this ground swell against data centers. Where the heck
16:38
Speaker 9: are we going to put them?
16:40
Speaker 1: No, we paid attention to the ground swell. The ground
16:43
Speaker 1: swell was first, and there are places you can put them.
16:47
Speaker 1: And it just I don't know what to say to you.
16:51
Speaker 1: It's not us. We were following the ground swell. The
16:54
Speaker 1: ground swell was already occurring. We did not cause it.
16:59
Speaker 4: I think I think you can lead, Larry. You're more
17:02
Speaker 4: technological shabby than I am. I'm a ludd eyed so
17:05
Speaker 4: I depend on writing things down on paper, hard copy newspapers.
17:09
Speaker 4: So you got to give up your AI search engine? No,
17:13
Speaker 4: why why I love AI? Rally? He loves AI.
17:17
Speaker 5: He's like AI says this. Ay, Yes, that's why I'm
17:21
Speaker 5: a big supporter.
17:22
Speaker 1: I think AI is a great advancement, and yes, I'm
17:26
Speaker 1: all for it. I think the data centers are necessary.
17:30
Speaker 1: I just don't want them next to somebody's home. That's it.
17:33
Speaker 5: Oh, come on, Larry, set the example. Give up AI.
17:36
Speaker 5: At least give it a break for a week. Show
17:38
Speaker 5: that you can live your.
17:39
Speaker 4: Life without AI for one week Like this, guy said,
17:42
Speaker 4: But now at eight thirty, it's the news with Daria.
17:45
Speaker 10: Morning guys. Mostly sunny today. There's a slight chance for
17:47
Speaker 10: a shower later today. We'll see a high eighty two degrees.
17:50
Speaker 10: The White House will impose new economic sanctions on Iran today,
17:53
Speaker 10: which the Trump administration is described as as being the
17:56
Speaker 10: toughest hit in history. Reporter Blake Sifton says efforts to continue,
18:01
Speaker 10: though to try and resolve the conflict.
18:03
Speaker 11: There are no direct talks between Iran and the United
18:05
Speaker 11: States expected really anytime soon. Diplomatic efforts at various levels
18:09
Speaker 11: do continue. Egypt has said that their foreign minister has
18:12
Speaker 11: spoken to his Iranian counterpart about efforts to restart those negotiations.
18:17
Speaker 10: President Trump calls it an economic d Day for the
18:20
Speaker 10: Islamic Republic. There are no new talks scheduled with Iran,
18:23
Speaker 10: as you just heard, or Canada, for that matter, which
18:25
Speaker 10: is locked in a trade dispute with the US. Prime
18:27
Speaker 10: Minister Mark Karney going so far as to say that
18:29
Speaker 10: his nation is at war with the US. Overtrade. Senator
18:33
Speaker 10: Chris van Holland is considering a run for the White
18:36
Speaker 10: House in twenty twenty eight. The Maryland Democrat tells NBC
18:39
Speaker 10: News that he doesn't think his party has answered the
18:42
Speaker 10: call about how it will make sure the economy works
18:45
Speaker 10: for working people.
18:46
Speaker 5: Well, it's been.
18:47
Speaker 10: Almost twenty five years since nine to eleven attacks, and
18:50
Speaker 10: victims are still being identified. The latest is a woman
18:53
Speaker 10: who was e died by id'd rather by comparing DNA
18:57
Speaker 10: to family trees. Her family is opting to keep her
19:00
Speaker 10: identity private. A tough loss for the Little League World
19:04
Speaker 10: Series for bayone, but they're not out.
19:07
Speaker 12: Bayone got shut out by Davenport, Iowa six nothing Sunday afternoon,
19:11
Speaker 12: with folks gathered at restaurants in Beyone to watch the
19:13
Speaker 12: team on TV.
19:14

19:15
Speaker 2: I'm bayone all the way.

19:22

19:22

Speaker 4: November thirteenth, that flag Star at Westbury Music Fair. Tickets
19:59
Speaker 4: on sale at ticket com. Another chance to win tomorrow
20:02
Speaker 4: at eight twenty five. Up next. Polling apparatus three major
20:08
Speaker 4: ones admit now that they were fake, phony, fraudulent for
20:12
Speaker 4: Gazes up next.
20:14
Speaker 1: For Fast Well. This story is just absolutely fascinating and
20:20
Speaker 1: kudos to the college student he did it. They now said,
20:24
Speaker 1: it's a college student who came up with some fake polls,
20:28
Speaker 1: completely made up polls, because he wanted to see if
20:33
Speaker 1: the media would go with it. He wanted to see
20:36
Speaker 1: if it would affect votes. He wanted to see if
20:39
Speaker 1: there'd be some political money that would follow. So he
20:43
Speaker 1: created a made up company called Median Strategies, and all
20:50
Speaker 1: of the polling numbers were completely completely fabricated. So it
20:56
Speaker 1: was for two races, the Wisconsin Governor's primary. The firm
21:00
Speaker 1: published a widely share that I'm saying firm, it's actually
21:03
Speaker 1: one kid published a widely shared poll giving socialist candidate
21:08
Speaker 1: Francesca Hoang a massive twenty three percentage point lead over
21:15
Speaker 1: David Crowley in the Democratic primary. It was carried by
21:19
Speaker 1: newspapers across the country, It made it on CNN. Crowley,
21:24
Speaker 1: as you know, ultimately won the election. Then in the
21:28
Speaker 1: Los Angeles mayor's race, the fake data even fooled the
21:32
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bess, who shared a poll showing
21:37
Speaker 1: her up eleven points over Nitti Raman. Bess deleted the
21:42
Speaker 1: post and her office called for an investigation into bad
21:46
Speaker 1: faith attempts to influence. So the whole thing. The Guardian
21:50
Speaker 1: found this out, so did the La Times. The whole
21:53
Speaker 1: thing was done by twenty one year old rahiel Prakash,
21:58
Speaker 1: who is a recent college student who is now doing
22:01
Speaker 1: some postgraduate work. And so this is for a paper
22:04
Speaker 1: that he was going to do. Now he's now made
22:07
Speaker 1: national news. And what a brilliant thing to do to
22:13
Speaker 1: show exactly how bad the media is in putting out
22:18
Speaker 1: these polls. You'll remember in the mayor's race, and you're
22:21
Speaker 1: going to remember this better than anybody. Curtis, when I
22:24
Speaker 1: was sharing polls and I kept saying, let's see who
22:27
Speaker 1: did this one. Let's see who did this one? And
22:30
Speaker 1: if it was a name I didn't recognize, I said, well,
22:33
Speaker 1: that was probably done by the candidate themselves to make
22:36
Speaker 1: it look like they have a bigger lead, or they're
22:38
Speaker 1: catching up or whatever. So Curtis, I was right about that.
22:42
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.
22:43
Speaker 4: In fact, when I ran against Eric Adams in twenty
22:46
Speaker 4: twenty one, you had your traditional polsters, so you had
22:49
Speaker 4: Sheiana and had a tradition, whether you liked him or not,
22:53
Speaker 4: they had a tradition of making phone calls, checking emails, texts,
22:58
Speaker 4: you know, doing a comprehension poll. Then I think the
23:01
Speaker 4: school you went to, Quinnipiac, right, Yeah, Quinnipiac had their poll.
23:05
Speaker 4: A few others. I didn't necessarily like the results, but
23:09
Speaker 4: they were considered authentic and they had been doing this
23:12
Speaker 4: for quite some time. Then, all of a sudden, the
23:15
Speaker 4: mayor all election twenty twenty five, every day there was
23:18
Speaker 4: a new poll from organizations and COMPANIESEN never heard of before.
23:23
Speaker 4: They didn't even exist when you actually did a d dive,
23:26
Speaker 4: and I knew that it was the flavor of this
23:29
Speaker 4: election because there was a main journalist who had worked
23:34
Speaker 4: in New York City, had just gotten a job in Washington, DC.
23:37
Speaker 4: Wanted to say goodbye to me and my staff, and
23:40
Speaker 4: he said, if you got any polls right now, the
23:43
Speaker 4: journalists will publish anything. I mean, they'll publish any I said,
23:47
Speaker 4: you mean they don't try to authenticate the polls like
23:50
Speaker 4: they used. No, he said, it's such a competitive atmosphere.
23:54
Speaker 4: Now you give them a poll, they'll go with it
23:56
Speaker 4: because they know tomorrow there'll be another poll and the
23:58
Speaker 4: day after another poll.
24:00
Speaker 5: And that's how you influence elections.
24:02
Speaker 4: And then also your favorite say, what is that polygrip
24:06
Speaker 4: polymarket and what's the other one they call cashi. Yeah,
24:09
Speaker 4: they call it prediction markets. Especially younger people go by that.
24:15
Speaker 4: So for instance, younger people, CNN uses it. Yeah, well
24:18
Speaker 4: that's because they have a relationship with them. But the
24:21
Speaker 4: interesting thing in the race for the governorship and the
24:25
Speaker 4: Democratic nomination in Wisconsin, they had Crowley the ultimate winner
24:30
Speaker 4: at three percent. They had hung at ninety seven percent.
24:35
Speaker 4: So between that and the fake poll that you described
24:39
Speaker 4: from that young man who proved that this is not
24:42
Speaker 4: scientific any longer. It's the flavor of the day and
24:46
Speaker 4: it definitely can influence people. Look at Wisconsin, this guy
24:50
Speaker 4: Barnes dropped out, who would have been the leader, because
24:53
Speaker 4: he said, I can't win. Look at the polls. Look
24:55
Speaker 4: at Crowley. He originally dropped out, I can't win because
24:58
Speaker 4: of the polls, but he dropped back in. And you
25:01
Speaker 4: say to yourself, follow the rule of Curtis Sleeland. Do
25:04
Speaker 4: not drop out unless you absolutely have to for medical
25:07
Speaker 4: reasons or personal reasons or whatever, because you just can't
25:11
Speaker 4: trust these polls.
25:13
Speaker 1: No, and I believe there were polls put out specifically
25:17
Speaker 1: to get you to drop out.
25:18
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
25:19
Speaker 4: And I know all those companies, and I accept it.
25:22
Speaker 4: It's part of the process. You don't cry about it.
25:24
Speaker 4: But now we see it. And look at the most
25:27
Speaker 4: recent which did not help the socialists.
25:30
Speaker 5: The other two. Remember the polls helped the socialists. Ls
25:33
Speaker 5: Ieed was.
25:35
Speaker 4: Double barrel ahead of his competitor, the congresswoman. He was
25:40
Speaker 4: having a pool party the week before. He was so
25:42
Speaker 4: sure he was gonna win. He barely won. You saw
25:45
Speaker 4: the race in Wisconsin, she barely lost. But the one
25:49
Speaker 4: that was the most shocking was in Florida. Vinman had
25:53
Speaker 4: sixteen million dollars to spend on TV advertising ten major
25:57
Speaker 4: markets in Florida sixty seven counties.
26:01
Speaker 5: The ultimate winner Nixon.
26:03
Speaker 4: The Democratic Socialists had no TV money at all. The
26:08
Speaker 4: polls leading up to it said that Vinman was ahead
26:12
Speaker 4: comfortably by ten percent. In fact, he believed it so
26:15
Speaker 4: much his staff that they left seven million dollars in
26:18
Speaker 4: the bank didn't spend it in the last seventy two
26:21
Speaker 4: hours because they said.
26:22
Speaker 5: Hey, we'll use it for the general election.
26:24
Speaker 4: Because obviously with a minority party in the red state
26:28
Speaker 4: of Varida.
26:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope they don't go after this kid. I mean,
26:32
Speaker 1: Karen Bass apparently was embarrassed by it and she wants
26:36
Speaker 1: a full investigation. Hopefully that was her just saving face.
26:40
Speaker 1: And there's not going to be an investigation because what
26:42
Speaker 1: do they charge him with. What did he do wrong?
26:45
Speaker 5: Nothing?
26:46
Speaker 1: He did the same exact thing that candidates do if
26:49
Speaker 1: they come up with their own fake polls.
26:51
Speaker 4: In fact, Larry without mentioning names, this was the most
26:53
Speaker 4: hysterical one. In the mayoral race. A firm did a
26:57
Speaker 4: poll for Eric Adams. They put him in relatively good
27:00
Speaker 4: like remember he was always number four. It was always
27:03
Speaker 4: Jorhan Cuomo's slee. Me and Cuomo were relatively close, and
27:07
Speaker 4: Adams didn't even break double digits. It had him at
27:11
Speaker 4: double digits. You know, it was a favorable pole. When
27:14
Speaker 4: they pressed the button, it didn't indicate eighteen percent. It
27:17
Speaker 4: indicated eight percent. That's because the people who did the
27:21
Speaker 4: poll for him messed up. But once it was out there,
27:24
Speaker 4: there was.
27:24
Speaker 5: No pulling it. It's because again they had messed up
27:28
Speaker 5: a fake poll. They had an exantioniable appetite.
27:31
Speaker 4: And you people out there who did that fake Poe,
27:33
Speaker 4: you know exactly who you are.
27:35
Speaker 5: You pressed the wrong button. Well, once it's out there,
27:37
Speaker 5: there's no taking it back. Well, I'll tell you what.
27:40
Speaker 1: We talked to a lot of campaign strategists and campaign people,
27:43
Speaker 1: campaign managers during the Mayor Old campaign and every single time,
27:48
Speaker 1: and people can back me up on this, when I
27:50
Speaker 1: quoted a poll, I would say, do you have any
27:52
Speaker 1: affiliation with this poll? Every single time I would ask
27:56
Speaker 1: that question.
27:57
Speaker 4: Yes he did, and god you did. Mark some mom,
28:00
Speaker 4: big supporter of mine, He would do that. W O
28:03
Speaker 4: R supported me when it was legitimate to support me,
28:07
Speaker 4: and WABC, where I came from, always bashed me and
28:11
Speaker 4: always blamed me for zoron Mondomie's victory, you got your revenge.
28:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was always ahead and that one number one
28:18
Speaker 5: in the XC.
28:20
Speaker 4: That's right, you shocked jockeyt WABC, We're number one, not you.
28:25
Speaker 4: But anyway, up next, we're going to talk about the Trinity,
28:28
Speaker 4: the Troitka, the tri Factor, Mondommie is back from vacation,
28:32
Speaker 4: the two love birds, remember who on the Empire State Building.
28:35
Speaker 4: They're in court today and the Economic d Day sanctions
28:39
Speaker 4: are coming down the pipe by the Treasury Secretary in
28:43
Speaker 4: just a few hours.
28:45
Speaker 5: The Wow, Larry.
28:46
Speaker 4: Tomorrow we have the Trinity, the Troita, the tri Factor,
28:49
Speaker 4: Zoron Mondombie is back from vacation and apparently no reporters
28:54
Speaker 4: caught up with him in the sixty two counties of
28:57
Speaker 4: New York State.
29:00
Speaker 1: Do nobody care where he went? Or is it just
29:02
Speaker 1: that the media has gotten so bad? No.
29:04
Speaker 4: I think the New York posts probably assigned half their
29:06
Speaker 4: staff to go find them.
29:07
Speaker 5: They're very aggressive at it. You think he really was
29:09
Speaker 5: in New York State? Yeah? I think he was.
29:11
Speaker 4: Well, this is my guess. One time, Abby Hoffman with
29:16
Speaker 4: the Yipsters was wanted by the FBI, and he hung
29:19
Speaker 4: out in the Saint Lawrence River area way upstate near
29:22
Speaker 4: the Canadian border, and nobody found them. That would be
29:26
Speaker 4: my guess number two. The lovey w two. As you know,
29:30
Speaker 4: they were from right outside in Newark, Irvington, East Orange,
29:35
Speaker 4: actually East Orange. The two Russians, remember who climbed to
29:39
Speaker 4: the very top of the Empire State Building and he
29:42
Speaker 4: proposed to her there and then they were arrested and
29:46
Speaker 4: charged with all kinds of acts. Well, they have to
29:48
Speaker 4: appear back in court today. Notice how quiet they've been
29:52
Speaker 4: in the interim. I haven't done anything in the interim.
29:55
Speaker 1: I know, well they've been keeping they are in trouble.
29:58
Speaker 5: Well they have a documentary.
30:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's exactly why why now. I'm sure that
30:06
Speaker 1: the people that are doing the publicity said no, no, no, no,
30:09
Speaker 1: it's way too early, way too early.
30:10
Speaker 5: I gotta tell you. I love these too. I love
30:13
Speaker 5: these too for what they did.
30:14
Speaker 1: No, they're wonderful. I think it's great too, because they're professionals.
30:18
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. The idiots that go up there,
30:21
Speaker 1: you know, not to this that high, but to the
30:23
Speaker 1: bridging stuff and fall that causes a problem. I got
30:25
Speaker 1: an update on the mom Donny thing. Yes, sources reported
30:29
Speaker 1: seeing the Mayor and the First Lady having dinner in Leeds,
30:33
Speaker 1: New York, a small hamlet located on the way to
30:36
Speaker 1: Albany near the Hudson Wow.
30:39
Speaker 4: That would be not far from where Natalie Cole busted
30:43
Speaker 4: me because I forgot I got married at the Whole
30:45
Speaker 4: Cavern with the hole cavern with Nancy.
30:48
Speaker 5: That's not far from there. Maybe they maybe they made
30:51
Speaker 5: the trip there too.
30:53
Speaker 4: Well, if they were in that cavern deep underground, nobody
30:57
Speaker 4: would know that they were. I'll see what happens, because
31:01
Speaker 4: today he'll probably have a press conference and announce where
31:03
Speaker 4: they were, and then the real big news tomorrow. Treasury
31:07
Speaker 4: Secretary today at some point will announce what he calls
31:10
Speaker 4: Economic d Day sanctions like you've never seen before against Iran.
31:15
Speaker 4: And I've just asked one question. Their benefactor is Red China.
31:20
Speaker 4: What sanctions are we going to put on Red China?
31:23
Speaker 4: Because that will definitely impact trade, our economy products. So
31:30
Speaker 4: tomorrow we'll have the specificity for all of our listeners.
31:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should dig into that overnight, so we have
31:36
Speaker 1: some answers on that. That's a really good question. That's
31:38
Speaker 1: a great question because a lot of the neighbors in
31:42
Speaker 1: the area, I mean, the UAE has come out and
31:44
Speaker 1: said they're not going to trade with Iran. So it's
31:48
Speaker 1: wonderful that the Arab countries are now playing ball with us.
31:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Red China is number one, second and one,
31:54
Speaker 4: So we'll break it down for all of you tomorrow. Meantime,
31:58
Speaker 4: we talked about congestion seen this morning with our street
32:01
Speaker 4: reporter Natalie Migliori, the talkback of the Morning and winner
32:05
Speaker 4: of the Curtis leew and Larry Menti in the Morning
32:07
Speaker 4: t shirt. Seems a little suspicious about all where that
32:13
Speaker 4: mula schmula is going.
32:15
Speaker 8: If anybody out there really honestly believes that the money
32:19
Speaker 8: from congestion pricing is actually going where it needs to go,
32:23
Speaker 8: I got a bridge to sell you, cause it ain't
32:25
Speaker 8: going there.
32:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think we knew that all along. I think
32:29
Speaker 1: we knew that from the beginning that it really wasn't
32:31
Speaker 1: going to where they said it was going to go.
32:34
Speaker 4: Well, we've said that also about the lottery. With all
32:36
Speaker 4: the lotteries, they always say, what's going to education? Jay, Really,
32:40
Speaker 4: I haven't seen an improvement any educational standards at the
32:43
Speaker 4: public school level. Where is all that money going?
32:47
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I think at least there's accounting
32:49
Speaker 1: for that. The MTA is like the CIA. You never
32:53
Speaker 1: know anything about them.
32:54
Speaker 5: The money taking agency.
32:56
Speaker 4: And remember the talkback of the week will win a
32:58
