  Speaker 2: just about, I guess, 12 noon. Larry at the helm
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: with Natalie producing. Natalie Migliore apparently became another star in
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the midst of that marathon. Ken was out there along

  Speaker 2: the way. I mean, you had the full roster out there.
• 0:23

• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I have to salute everyone at 710 WR. And as
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: so many people have said, the gargantuan job done once
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: again by our producer, Natalie. uh man it couldn't have
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: happened on a better marathon I mean finally a breakthrough
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it wasn't all Kenyans one two and three men's competition
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: female competition it was actually diversity.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah I think Kenya only took a third place in
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the two major races so it was incredible but I'm
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: glad you you mentioned Natalie because Natalie you know I
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: show up that day. I do a few of the interviews,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: but Natalie sets everything up. You come, and there's a
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: book there, and the book has everything and everything you're
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: supposed to do. But just so I don't mess up,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: she sits right.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Next to me. Oh, it was awesome.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: We also have to thank Tim McLoone and Aisha Pratt-Lear,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: who sat with you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Aisha was tremendous.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Tim's always great, but Aisha was tremendous.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: They both added race commentary and expertise that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I don't have in the running world.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Aisha's an Olympian, and she was with us, and she
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: ran for Jamaica. She has dual citizenship. And Jamaica has
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a great track program, as you know.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: And Garrett Vogel over at Z100, he was at the
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: start line for us. And just for people who are listening,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: one of his reports was talking about Scotty B over
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: at Z100, his very first marathon. Just started running not
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: that long ago.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: He's here today with his medal on. And he looks great.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Now his, his wife, his fiance, his fiance is a runner,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a real runner, can do it in just a few hours.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And he's not, this is his first marathon. So she
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: slowed down to run with him.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: And they passed together through the finish line with their
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: hands held up in the air.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: It was wonderful, but that's what that, the marathon's about.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: It's full of these incredible stories.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Of people who are doing something absolutely incredible and something
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: your body is actually not made to do.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I just thought of something.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Did she run with him to support him or to
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: make sure he really ran.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: The whole thing?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: It's like, I'm going to make sure you get through this.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Either way, it's a good partner.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, my concern was with 16,000 contestants, and I certainly
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: saw them as they were flooding down 72nd to hit
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the subway stations. Or to stop off, get something to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: eat with their families. You know, they all had that orange. Oh, 60,000, yeah. 60,000,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: excuse me, excuse me. That's a lot of people. 60,000,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I saw them everywhere. And I thought to myself, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: with the problems we've had with these e-bike bandits, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: who roll up on you and snatch anything of value. Man,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: those big gold medallions. We're not going to know right away,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to do a deep dive in a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: few days and see if any were reported stolen.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, that would be terrible.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember, they're wearing them proudly, as they should,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: with family and friends. Some of them were hobbling. You
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: could tell it really took its toll. There was one
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: young lady from Baskin Ridge, New Jersey. who was like
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: laid out on the side. I thought she was a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: homeless person at first. She just, she couldn't move. You know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: she had the cramps and everything. And so I assisted
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: her with other people, but she was on the young side.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But you can see the euphoria of all these people.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine when you train all this time for
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this one moment? First of all, you get to qualify
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and then you run.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: The thing about the marathon is that it's 60,000 stories.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It's not just the people that we're going to talk
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: about this morning. It's all of these people. This is
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: their personal best. This is what they train for. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: then there is, as you mentioned, that was a great word.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It is euphoric. It's euphoric when they finish. It's euphoric
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: when they're done because they accomplish something. So they're the stories.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I believe they're the stories in this marathon. You know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about the top runners today. But man,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the people from around the world, this is their goal
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: to come here and do this.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And we did a story in our team Inspire last
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: week of a young man, 19 years old with Down syndrome.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: And he was the first, he's the youngest person to
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: complete the marathon. And I saw him cross the finish
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: line yesterday and it was incredible.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, you hung out afterwards, right? And watch some of it?
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, a little bit, but this, I saw this online,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: so I didn't get to see him personally, but yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: So, you know, so many good stories.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: When you mentioned the competitors, as much as I was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: interested in track, you know, for the Olympics and the marathons,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I sort of lost interest when you almost could predict
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: who's going to win the marathon in New York, then Boston, London, Tokyo,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you know, Kenya, one, two, three. It's like, Sort of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: watching the World Series with the Yankees and Dodgers, you know, okay,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: all right. They had a lock on it. But what
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: was fascinating to me this year is this Swedish guy. Oh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he was the story. Who ran his first marathon two hours,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: six minutes, one second. White guy, as white as you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: can get, right? Not training in the mountains of Africa, right?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And he beats the best marathoners, period.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: It wasn't as much of a surprise as you're making
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: it out to be because a lot of the runners
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people in the running community were
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: talking about him. He was the big buzz coming into this.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: What's he going to do? Because word got out about
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: his training sessions. And his training sessions, he was running
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like 120 miles a week. he was already a runner
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: he was already a runner that ran long distance he
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: just never ran a marathon before So there was a
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: lot of people, including Aisha, who was saying, watch this.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: This is the story of the day. Watch him because
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: he could win this. The way, the times that he's
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: been putting in, he could actually win this. But it's still,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: he had to do it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: It was still fun to watch.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then I saw a group of Italianos, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: coming down with the Italian flag. And they were talking
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to me and say, oh, yeah, a guy, he missed
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: out second place. I said, what are you talking about? Yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the runner from Italy finished second. What was it, Kripa
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: or something like that? I said, I think they're making
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it up. A Swedish first, an Italian is second. I said,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: who finished third? They said, oh, the Kenyan. Man, what
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: happened there?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'll tell you what. Andrea Omgren,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: he finished way ahead of everybody else. I mean, for
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a marathon, he finished way ahead of everybody else. He finished.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: He looked like he could run another marathon. You know
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: how most of them come across in this collapse?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Not him. Not him. He was waving to the crowd,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: getting them to clap more.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: His hair still looked good.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Everything. Everybody's going to change. That's what you're noticing, right?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: He's a good-looking guy. This is good, though, for the sport. Oh, yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Because it says you don't just have to train in
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the mountains of Kenya to be a superior marathoner. You
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: can win from anywhere in the world.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Well, Sweden's got their mountains, too. But I'll tell you what.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants to copy what he did. Everybody's trying to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: figure out exactly what he did. You know, when somebody's
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that successful right out of the box— Everybody's going, oh,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: there must be some magic trick.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they want to figure out his training routine and
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: how they can replicate it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And, you know, patriotism. We like to see Americans, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: if not win, place or show. And then in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: female division, Jessica McClain. Did she finish second in the Olympics?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Shaquiri won two years ago. So they were the two
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: and they were neck and neck and neck and neck.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: And then Shaquiri pulled away. And all of a sudden
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you saw Jess McClain, like she wasn't near them. She
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: was like way back from those two. All of a
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: sudden she went by O'Berry. O'Berry just died. And she
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: went by and came in second. This is great for
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the sport. Absolutely great for the sport. It's at least
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: revived my interest. But my interest, you have to understand,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: was focused on the biggest Halloween parade in the world now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Started very small in Greenwich Village. And now it's, I mean,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it doesn't end until 12 midnight. It starts at 6.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: 12 midnight. Six hours of people parading up 6th Avenue
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: all the way past 14th Street. That's a long hike.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And they have costumes. They have routines. They have music.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And they have people who dress up as me as
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a guardian angel. And, boy, it was some trouble in
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the Sliwa household. Let me tell you something.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Because of the sexy Sliwas I was seeing?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I have no idea who these three
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: women are. But they did a routine that obviously got
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of clicks. And I got the silent treatment
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: all Sunday as if I was somehow responsible for this.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Did you watch it? It's on my feed. How could
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I not watch it? I watched it a few times.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: It was really well done. But there were a lot
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: of people out there, you know, if nothing more, wearing
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the red beret. Some of them had added to the costumes,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: red sateen jacket. Boy, these people put a lot of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: time and energy into it. Hey, look, imagine. It's a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: year after the mayoral election and people are still wanting
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to dress up like Curtis Sliwa. How did you feel
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: watching the sexy Sliwas? Were you aroused? I don't know
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: what the hell you're talking about. I don't know what
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you're talking about. Because I mean all the things you
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: love right there. Oh, man. Well, you know, you put
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: pretty girls in any kind of a video and they
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: instantly get clicks. So whoever these three gals are, man,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it's well, it was a. What do they say? Imitation
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is the greatest form of flattery?
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Maybe I should try to find them and get one
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: of them on the air.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: No, no. It's quite all right.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Let's find out there, you know.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Put it this way.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: That's a wonderful idea. We started the weekend, right? Friday.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: The crew at Z100 were all dressed up as guardian angels,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: led by Elvis, my enemy. I know. That was amazing.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So naturally, Nancy was euphoric. That's her favorite. She grew
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: up listening to Z100. And then it ended with... silent
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: treatment that I got because of these three guardian angelettes, I.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Could guess you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: But you can't blame you for that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's something else? No, what a bet. Oh. I mean,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: think about, like, you didn't know about this, Curtis? You know, really?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: You had no idea? It came up on my feed. Yeah, sure.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And then I got the cold shoulder the rest of
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: We'd love to hear what you have to say about
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: his and Conundrum and anything else that we talk about today.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talk back.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: You could win a Curtis Sliwa. and Larry Menti in
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the morning t-shirt, which is going to be awarded every
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: day to our favorite talk back of the morning. And
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: talk back of the week takes home a C-Crane radio.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: C-Crane radios for those who want the best.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Well, the New York City Barn Owls have returned, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of them missing, plus a chance to
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: see Def Leppard and the Goo Goo Dolls at age 25.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: See. So Natalie and, of course, Larry was doing the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: marathon work and covering this New York City Marathon from
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: beginning to 12 noon. Great job. I do want to
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: salute those who were involved in the New York City
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Marathon because they had scheduled in advance... for the 60,000
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: runners who were coming here with their supporters, friends, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: family to put on a huge drone show over Central Park.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I actually saw some of the people who were there
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that were going to put it on, and they decided, no,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: we cannot do that because of the barn owls, which
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: have gotten international attention. They recognize that the drone might
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: cause a problem. for the owls, especially the two adults
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: as they were flying over the rambles and looking for
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: food sources for the three baby owlets. And the food
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: sources are basically mice and rats. And they bring it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: back to where that water tower was right off of
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: 75th and Central Park West. Well, last Thursday, unexpectedly, a
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: construction crew went up there and started to take apart
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the water tower, which scattered the barn owls and the owlets.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And there was a panic that set in. And they figured, okay, okay,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: if we get them to stop, the barn owls will return.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: But then that Friday, up until 12 noon, they continued
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: to do that disassemblage work at the water tower, which
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: is made of wood. And then there was a show
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: cause order issued. The state came down on them. The
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: feds came down on it because it's a crime to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: mess with their nest. And so what I would do
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: is I would go there at night about, you know, dark,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: 9 o'clock at night. Me and Nancy, we did a
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: video about it. I want those owners and operators, whoever
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: they are. And it's somewhat difficult to figure it out, Larry,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: because the owners apparently are in a dispute with one
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: another in their LLC. The building itself appears to be
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: in receivership, and it may well be that the city
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: of New York is managing the building. But everybody's like, hush,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: hush on that. And I can assure you, having been
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: with the birders, who are very dedicated, they have these
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: high-powered telescopes. They lighten everything up, even when it's pitch black. Yes,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the mama and papa barn owl have returned. The three
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: owlets have returned. And apparently, they're continuing to take care
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: of their offspring. But, man, you know, once they were scattered,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it was a question of whether they could return. But
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: apparently they hadn't gone too far. Yeah. And some of
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: them were actually housed in the church steeple next to it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: There's a church right on Central Park West. And it
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: sort of reminded me like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: You know, they were up near the bell steeple. You
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: could see from the pictures. But these birders, oh, my God,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: they are so dedicated. They go on shifts. So they'll
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: go home, you know, shower, eat, change their clothes, come back,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: high-powered telescopes, binoculars. They are dedicated to following the flight
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: of the birds. And I think we had the largest
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: bird migration a few days before that, like a billion
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: birds that were heading south to You know, for the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: start of winter. I love the burgers. I do.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I love that they are that involved and that they
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: want to save all of these species. I love, love,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: love them. The other people it attracted, though, I had
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: to roll my eyes at. And that was all of
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the politicians that came out there. That they're going to sue,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: they're going to do legislation, this is a federal law,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: we're looking into all these charges. All of them, whenever
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: there's a story, whenever anything happens that attracts TV cameras,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: that also attracts politicians. State assemblymen, people from the city,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: a state senator was there to say, we're going to
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: get to the bottom of this and we're going to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: save these birds.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Now, as soon as the cameras go away, they're gone. See,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I know my place. That's not my thing. Cats, yeah,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the horse carriages, you know, that's been my life. The birds, flocko,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and then obviously now the barn owls. But I show
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: up and I stand on the periphery because this is
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: their thing, man. They are totally dedicated to this. They
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: don't want amateurs involved, outsiders. And so I have conversations,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: but I don't try. If, like, their camera's there, I
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: step away. This is their thing. This is what they
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: live for. And you're right. The politicians, they come in
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: and bogart it. And then a week from now, they're
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: on to something else, which is the lead news item
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: acting as if they can do something, which they never do. Exactly.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I was getting at. I promise you nothing's
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: going to be done. Nothing. Because there's already a law.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: What are they going to do?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: What could they possibly do? Why are they there? The
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: lens slice. Their lens slice.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I must recuse myself. I've been accused of being lens-like
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: myself in the past. But I know my boundaries when
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it comes to birders or other animal welfare activists. If
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: you're not directly involved, just stay on the periphery. Offer
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: support when the cameras and the reporters show up because
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: naturally they want to come talk to me. I said, look,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I'm here to support them. Talk to them. Talk to them.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: They're here morning, noon, and night.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, the media has got to
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: get better at this. Listen, I was out at these
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: scenes a million times. And when people came up and
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: wanted to get on camera and obviously wanted to get
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: on camera, I was usually reluctant to put them on
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: camera because they're not the people I want to talk to.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I want to find the people that you were just
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: talking about. that are the experts, but there's so many
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: in the media that are like, oh, good, this is
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: going to be easy today.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, the camera person tells the reporter or
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the stringer, whoever sent, talk to Curtis. He's a walking
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: soundbite machine. It makes it easy for them when they
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: edit it back to the studio.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: We love people like that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You are low-hanging fruit. There's no question. And I said,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: no mas, no mas. I'm here to support them. This
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: is their project.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Let's get the Daria Albinger with the 630 News, Daria.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I would have made a beeline for Curtis. Exactly.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I was a reporter.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: I was like, oh, this is going to make my
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: job easier. Sunny today, high of 66 degrees. Well, tomorrow
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: is Election Day. More than 54 million Americans have already voted,
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: and Democrats say they are feeling confident about taking control
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: of the House. The Senate, not so much.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: Democrats have the easier path in the House, for sure.
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: They need to flip just three seats there. The Senate
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: is the hard part, though. To take control, Democrats have
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: to net four seats. The toss-ups are Alaska, Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio,
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: and Maine. To get four Democrats have to win in
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: states President Trump carried by double digits. And some of
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: them haven't elected a Democrat to the Senate in decades.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: ABC's Karen Hua. If you haven't voted yet, you have
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: to wait until tomorrow. Early voting ended yesterday. Now make
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: sure that you keep it here tomorrow night because we
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: will provide complete coverage of the races. Anchored by Larry Mendte.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy is at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: He's recovering from a stroke. The 53-year-old's chief of staff
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: released a statement yesterday saying that Murphy started experiencing numbness
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: in his arm. while he was at his son's hockey game.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: His doctors say he is expected to make a full recovery.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: Murphy is not up for re-election this year.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: Well, the race is over.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: We're talking about the one that people use their feet for,
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: the big one in New York City, the marathon. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: there is one more stop for the runners today.
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: The TCS New York City Marathon champions are at One
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: World Trade Center celebrating their marathon finish as athletes debrief
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: their journey through the 26.2 mile course.
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: The hill coming up Fifth Avenue on the way back,
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: that was the worst of all time.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: The people of New York are just incredible. Every borough,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it was amazing.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: It was actually one of the best run marathons that
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I've ever done.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it, and just the crowd energy the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: whole way was really fun.
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: For the first time, a Swede won the New York
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: City Marathon for the men, while a Kenyan woman won
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: her second title in three years.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore, WOR News. Go get that medal engraved.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: You earned it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Jets and Rangers lose, and.
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: The Nets finally won. They beat Indiana. They play the
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: Knicks tonight. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, up next, we're going to go to Alaska where
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: on election night, you may not get the first results.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Larry will be hosting it until 1 a.m. in the
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: morning our time. And then there are a lot of
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: other reasons that the ballot counting will be very slow,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: but all eyes are on Alaska up next.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Curtis Lewa and Larry Mendte in the morning, live from
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what, election night tomorrow night is
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: going to be fascinating. We may not know who runs
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: the Senate until Wednesday morning. And one of the reasons
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: for that is that Alaska is the last state to
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: come out with their outcomes, you know, to come out
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: with their voter tolls. And it's going to be close there.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: It's been close in the polls all along between Mary
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Peltola and Dan Sullivan. And in the middle of all this,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: of course, is the controversy. Now, there's a lot of names.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: The two Dan Sullivans controversy, the fake Dan controversy, the
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: phony Dan controversy. The media is fighting to name this
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: right now. But the controversy is this. There is an
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: alleged plot detailed in pretty good reporting by the New
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: York Times with 12 sources saying that Daniel S. Sullivan,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: who is the sitting senator, that his opponent, Mary Peltola,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: was looking for someone with the exact same name. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: they came damn close. They got a Daniel J.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Sullivan.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: A retired teacher, no prior political experience. And right now
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: in the middle of this controversy, everybody is trying to
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: find him. And this is a controversy because, you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: as we've pointed out several times, Alaska utilizes a rank
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: choice voting system. So then that means you get more
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: than two people on the ballot and they, they rank
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: it at the end in the election results, Republicans and
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: federal prosecutors say, They argue that the identical name structure
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: on the ballot was explicitly designed to create voter confusion.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Whether that's illegal or not is really in play right now.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: But in the meantime, the federal government has come in
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: with Donald Trump and Todd Blanch has come in to say,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: we need to put aside all of the votes for
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Dan J.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Sullivan.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: The fake Sullivan, put them aside and stall releasing the
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: results until we can go through them to find out
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: how many of those people really wanted to vote for
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Dan S.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Sullivan.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Now, already a court has said, no, that's not going
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: to happen, but it's going to be appealed. This is
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: something that the Justice Department really, really wants. And to
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: tell you the truth, Curtis, I think that's fair. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: think it's fair just because nobody really knows if it's
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: illegal right now, which is really interesting. As you watch
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: all of the legal experts going through this, they said, well,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: there's this law and there's this law and there's this law.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: It's been done before, as we've talked about on the air.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: But have there been any laws that were violated? If not,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: you know, the Trump administration is going to lose this
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: case if there's no laws that were violated. And so
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: everybody's a little bit confused. But since there is confusion,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: just hold the results until we figure this all out. Well,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: ballot stacking is what it is. It's never occurred, though,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: at this high level of a U.S. Senate race.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: It's occurred in other less significant races and states where
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: that tactic has been used by both sides sometimes. But
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: in this particular case... If everything proceeds ahead, you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: all the challenges, the subpoenas issue, but a grand jury
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: is not going to come back with findings. before the election, obviously,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: it would take many, many days. Under normal circumstances, because
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Alaska is the first largest state in the nation, double
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the size of Texas, double the size of California, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of it is not reachable. They don't even
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: have roads to some of these places, so the mail-in
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: ballots are critical. And here we go again, the way
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania used to be, If the mail-in ballot is postmarked
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: on the night of the election, I think 9 o'clock
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: at night they close their election polls, you have 10
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: days to get them counted. And if there are any challenges,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: 15 days under normal circumstances. So you know that that
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: can be a very elongated process, especially if it's a
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: very tight election, which is expected.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: It's not only a tight election. This could be the
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: election so late that decides the fate of the Senate,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: if it's going to be Democrat or Republican. That's how
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: crucial this election is.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Now, the Sullivan who's the fake one, the Fagazi, lives
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: on some island that is almost unreachable. It's still part
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of Alaska and not part of Russia, the Aleutian Islands.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: And if it can be proven that he was paid
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: or given gratuities or given any kind of benefits, that
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: is a federal crime. That is a felony crime. he
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: could go to jail for that. Now, you know, he's
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: getting a subpoena. He can't hide forever. So if he
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: comes in, he doesn't seem like the brightest guy in
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: the world. And the feds, they know how to play
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: good cop, bad cop. And man, why would you want
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: to take the rap here for Peltola? Man, you end
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: up doing time and she would be free as a bird.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Come on, guys. Spill the beans. Did you get anything? Anything.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And if he did.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And it can be proven. That's a great point. That's
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: a felony. That's a felony. There's no turning back. The
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: other thing that's interesting. But there's no proof of that
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: at this point.
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: No.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: No proof whatsoever. But nobody can find this guy now.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Nobody can find him. He has no campaign. He spent
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: no money on the campaign. They went to his alleged
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: campaign headquarters. It was a fishing hut. I mean, it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: such a joke.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: He may be in an igloo, you know, up there,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: there's snow and ice with the Eskimos. Can I say Eskimos? Yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: you're right. The other thing is the two big benefactors
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of both parties, Elon Musk, number one, guess who's coming
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: up quick? Bloomberg. Bloomberg's spending millions. So on their ballot
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: every two years, they decided we're going to keep the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: nonpartisan elections where anybody can run in a primary. Oh,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: we're going to keep rank choice voting. It's on the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: ballot again. They may lose this time because of this nonsense.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: And guess what? Elon Musk has poured billions into that campaign. Bloomberg,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the reverse, he wants there to be term limits. By
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the way, this is the guy who voided his own
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: term limits. Remember, he was for term limits. I say, yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: but I deserve another four years.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Just that sentence that Elon Musk has poured millions into nonsense.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: into non-rank voting in Alaska is kind of silly. That's
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: amazingly silly, but that's where we're at.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I think these billionaires are now flexing. You know, Elon
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Musk is spending more than any other billionaire. That's obvious.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: But Bloomberg is coming up fast. Like, you're not the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: only billionaire in town, pal. So it's really Elon Musk
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: supporting Republican initiatives and Michael Bloomberg supporting Democrat initiatives. Obviously,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk has spent more. But, hey, there's still a
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: little bit of time left. Well, good for Alaska, though.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: They're getting all that money. Good for them, man. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: all that attention. Imagine all those little TV stations up there,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: how well they're doing right now. That is so good.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we didn't forget New York. We'll
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: talk about the New York governor's race. It is getting
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: heated as we go to Election Day. Also, I do
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: want to talk about LifeVac because I just believe in
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: this product so much. And I believe in it because
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: it works. And when it works, it saves lives. All
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: across the country, stories keep coming in about police departments
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: that have life back, that they're required to have life
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: back in their patrol cars, saving a young life. Just
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: happened in Michigan last week where a six-year-old was choking.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: in a cafeteria and a police officer saved her. It
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: is kind of amazing, isn't it? LifeVac, by the way,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: if you don't know what it is yet, is the
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: without success. Here's what's so remarkable about LifeVac. LifeVac has
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: saved over 7,000 lives worldwide.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: 7,000.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: The number keeps going up. That's not just a number.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: These are real people we're talking about, like that little
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: girl in Michigan. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: can make all the difference in the world. So learn

• 30:40
  Speaker 12: That crash investigation along 78 eastbound in Bedminster happened during
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: the overnight. It is now on the shoulder for a while.
• 30:46
  Speaker 12: 78 was completely shut eastbound between exit 26 and exit 29. Again,
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: with the activity on the shoulder, you've got delays back
• 30:53

• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Larry, in the last go-round at a gin mill sports
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: bar in Queens yesterday, sat Governor Hochul and side-by-side like bookends,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: was the king and queen of the DSA in New
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: York State, Zoran Mandami. NAOC, all out crazy, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Oh,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: and they were just loving the Bills game. Completely trashed
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: their opponent. And I'm saying to myself, I feel scorned, Larry.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think people picked up on this. About halfway
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: through as they were watching with the crowd, the Buffalo Bills,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: a person brings up their baby, like six-month-old baby, and
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: puts it in Kathy Hochul's lap. And The baby is
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: sitting there for like 20 minutes, you know, for all
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the photo ops. Guess who starts holding the hand of
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the baby? Take a guess, Larry. Oh, I can guess.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: You want me to say it?
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie. He won't let the baby's hand go.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm saying, wait a second. I thought that was
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: just for me and you, pal. Already. He's a hand holder.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: You got jealous of a baby? Absolutely. Because that stole
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: it under. Did you see all the clicks I got?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I got more clicks than me holding Zora Mondami's hand
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: when we got the flu vaccine together.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: You're jealous of the baby.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: He's upset that the baby got more clicks. Yes. Babies
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: always get more clicks.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That's the rule of the internet. You're absolutely right. But anyway,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: so that's her roundup. It's all New York City all
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: the time. If she gets the expected vote out... it's
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: bleak for Blakeman and his team because New York City
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: is such a way to vote. But on Blakeman's part,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: he was up in the North Shore, Long Island. He
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: was upstate. And I'm sure today he will be. And
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: this is the one, it is a tough one to
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: figure out. He'll be up in Rome, New York, the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: 21st Congressional District, which is Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. As you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: she was going to run for governor. Thought she had
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the nod from Trump. Trump said, no, I can't pick
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: between her and Blakeman. And then she opted out, won't
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: even run for a congressional seat and won't campaign for
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: the Republican who was picked by Trump and beat the
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Republican assemblyman in a primary who was the GOP state choice,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Anthony Constantino. That is the reddest of all districts, 70-30.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's Trump land. That's red. And it's now
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: neck and neck with the Democrat who happens to be
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: a farmer. So that's a good pick for a candidate.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: A lot of farms up there. And the vice president
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be in Ohio earlier in the day
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: where he needs to be. It's neck and neck race
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: in Ohio for a lot of the races. Has to
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: schlep all the way to Rome, New York to hold
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: a rally for Anthony Constantino. And you know what the
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: questions are going to be. How come the sitting congresswoman,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: very popular up there, because if she had gone out
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: and campaigned for Anthony Constantino, he would have won that district.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: She hasn't said anything negative or positive, but not being
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: out on the campaign trail says a lot in itself. No,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: she's upset, and she should be upset.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I get it. I understand exactly. I mean, she did
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: everything that Donald Trump asked her to do. When she
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be the U.N. ambassador, he pulled it
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: from her.
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: And.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: came up with nothing else except that she was going
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: to run for governor. And so she assumed that Trump
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: was going to clear the runway. And instead of doing that,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman gets in the race and then she won't
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: endorse her. He won't endorse her. She was waiting for
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: that endorsement. And when that didn't happen, I would have
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: been mad too. I mean, she did everything for him
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: and all she wanted from him was that endorsement. And
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: when it didn't happen, she realized this was going to
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: be a tough fight And that she was going to
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: be spending more money than she wanted to spend on
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: the primaries. And that's where she said, you know what,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I quit everything.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: That would have benefited Blakeman a primary. And I'll tell
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: you why. I'm thinking to myself, Labor Day, his campaign
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: really shaped up. You noticed it. I noticed it. No
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: more that AI stuff. It was real direct messaging into
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the camera. He was talking about the critical issues, electric rates, taxes, energy,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: the perfect campaign. And yet poll after poll, if you
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to believe polls, the one part of the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: poll that is very telling. At first, 30 percent of
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: the electorate didn't know who he was after Labor Day.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Then it was 25 percent. He may have knocked it
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: down now because there won't be a final poll, maybe
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: to 15, 10 percent. That's a lot to overcome when
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: 10 or 15 percent of the most likely voters don't
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: even know who you are. So I think his problem
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: was he was old school. Old school, remember, Larry, was, hey,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: you don't really start your campaign until after Labor Day.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Not any longer.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: No, not any longer. But I'm not sure he would
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: have won that primary. So the primary, I don't think,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: would have helped him. But right now, by the way,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: the only thing the two of them are talking about
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: is taxes. Blakeman, it's smart for Blakeman to say she
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: keeps raising taxes, raising taxes, raising taxes. Hochul has come out.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: This is what I wanted to get in here because
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Hochul has come out and said, no, no, no, I
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: have no plan to raise taxes. Remember congestion pricing?
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: When she put it on hold until after the election
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden it was back?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: January 1st. That's right. That's right.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: So listen, she's a liar. Everything's going to still go up.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Everything she's been doing in the past is going to
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: go up. Energy prices are going to keep going up
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: and taxes are going to keep going up. And the
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: reason we know is because she's done this once before.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I'm checking the clicks again. This baby
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: holding Zoran's hand has three times the number of clicks
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: that I had when we were taking the flu vaccine together.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: That damn baby. No, I won't say that, Larry. Up next, though, Michigan.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, what a tumbleweed of a soap opera there taking
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: place between El Saeed and not even Mike Rogers, but
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the woman, the congresswoman that he beat in the Democratic primary.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: We'll give you that all after the 7 o'clock news.
