Hour 3: DSA pushing Mamdani · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So with the shooting of the illegal alien by ice
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: up in Marble Hill, it's been a steady drumbeat for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mandami to let the police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, go.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: By the DSA, Democrats, Socialists of America, which was the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: parent organization that functioned to provide assistance, boots on the ground,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the Zoranistas, as I call them, to win the primary
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: against Andrew Cuomo and then the general election against Cuomo
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and myself. They never wanted Jessica Tisch. They basically were tolerant,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: they said, because they didn't want to affect the brand
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: new mayor coming into office. And I can only tell you, Larry,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it was a defining moment in the race. It was
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that last debate. All three of us on the stage
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: were asked by the moderators, Would you ask Jessica Tisch
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to continue on as police commissioner?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: All three of us said yes.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Cuomo had the best relationship with her and her family
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: because they had all funded his campaign. All of her siblings,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the family, you know, gave matching contributions for his election effort.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You may have remembered.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Soon after Zoran was elected, Jessica Tisch's brother gave a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: fire and brimstone speech against Zoran Mondami at some kind
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of a Jewish event when he was the honoree.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure, yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So they've had a, I would say, a relationship of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: convenience for both. She could have easily have said at
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that time, after straightening out the police— department, especially one
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: police plaza, all the corruption there that Adams had put
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: into place, police commissioner, all the deputies. It was a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: horror house of corruption. She straightened it out. She could
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have easily said, I'll only stay on if Andrew Cuomo
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: is the nominee.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: If not, I'll go my own way.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But there were backbench meetings between her, her advisors, Zoran
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Mondami and his advisors. And they basically had a professional
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: marriage of convenience.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: It seemed like it took a while. It seemed like
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: there were some negotiations going on. Like, you stay out
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: of this. You stay out of this. You have to
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: do this. You have to get in line here. So
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of back and forth in all
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: of that. But do you know the reason the DSA
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: wants her out?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because she stands there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And prevents Zorhan Mandami from doing all he wants to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: do to neuter and weaken the police department.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Well, the new reason, the new reason, and this is from,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: and correct me if I have this name wrong, Daria
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Elisa Avila Chevalier.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Chevalier.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Chevalier. Daria Elisa, she has to pick a... she has
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to pick some type of nationality. That seems like some
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: French and some... Weird.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I think she's Haitian. She came up from Miami. Like
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of these DSA people, you wouldn't call them
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: original New Yorkers. You know, they've had a cup of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: coffee here, but they get involved politically. And unexpectedly, she
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: beat the longest serving Dominican congressman.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And she's a democratic socialist. And you know who she
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: was on with on the podcast? Hasan Piker.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And this is what she said about Tish. The other thing.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: That really.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Angered me was when Police Commissioner Tish came out. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: understand that it is her role to provide more information,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: and that is why she comes to these press conferences.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But rather than condemn ICE, rather than condemn the shooting
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: or the events that had just taken place, she started
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to villainize ICE.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Oscar.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Villainize him. Did you hear it? Did you hear the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: news conference? Yeah, I did.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: She never villainized him. All she said was he's been
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: charged with this and he was convicted of this.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: She was a rap sheet. Sergeant Joe Friday. Just the facts.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Just the facts.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: They're upset that he gave his rap sheet. That's what
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: they're upset with. And they want her out because of that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: They are absolutely insane.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Well, they always wanted her out.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And I think to deflect on this, because there are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: obviously O's. his rise in the Democratic Party to the DSA.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: They provided all the foot troops, all the initial money,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: all the support. Nobody knew who he was. Not even
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: his neighbors knew who he was. He was the assembly
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: person in Astoria, a low person, can I say this,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on Indigenous Peoples Day, low person on the totem pole
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: amongst the Democratic Socialists of America.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So they elevated him.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Now, he worked hard with the Zoranistas, but they provided
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the glue, the funds, the initial support.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So I think to offset this, he.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Now says he's going to take aim at the NYPD
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: use of force policy, and he's called for improved police
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: department accountability.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Hasn't said exactly what that means.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said some other things, too. He still wants
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: to get rid of the strategic response group. They went
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: after him on that. You just said a moment ago
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: they've always disliked Tish. Yes. But there is a new cry.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: This is coming up now. It's a new cry to
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: get her out. And there's a new cry against Mamdani
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to do more. And that's why he said this yesterday.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: He said, you know, just give me time. I'm going
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to get to it. I'm going to get to it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Something that we're going to be sharing with New Yorkers
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: over the coming weeks. It is something that I committed
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: to in my campaign. And I've been clear about not
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: just in the past few weeks, but frankly, over the
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: past 10 months, a commitment to disband the strategic response group,
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: which again, is a commitment to decouple our police response
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: to the exercising of First Amendment activities and to terroristic threats.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: So they keep pushing him. The Democratic Socialists are pushing
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: him to do more. So they want him to get
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: rid of Tisch, which would be an enormous mistake. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: they want him to get rid of the strategic response group.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And this comes from a guy who has once written
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: that he wanted to defund the police. So we know
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: where he stands. We know where the Democratic Socialist stands.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I guess the question is, when is there going to
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: be this big opposition? I mean, I know there's people
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: like me and others that are upset with him and
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: speak out against him. But we need another person, another
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: leader to step up and say— Enough is enough, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: right now we don't have it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Now, it won't work because she is his insurance policy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And remember, when he was asked, who is the greatest
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: mayor of your lifetime, he said Bill de Blasio. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Bill de Blasio has been a mentor to him. Bill
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: de Blasio was in somewhat of a similar position.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Let me take you back.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He wins 2013, the Democratic primary, against all odds. He
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was like down number five, six. He wins because the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: relationship he had with his son, a father and a son.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Very well done commercials.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And the other Democrats just began to just disintegrate their campaigns.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: The weak spot he had the Achilles heel was Joe Loder,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: who ran against him, probably the worst campaign of any
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Republican running for mayor, about this will bring us back
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to the 70s.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You know, burned out buildings, gangs everywhere. He was using
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: film from the 70s.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So people were like, yeah, okay, we elected him, but
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's good with law and order.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So right away, what did he do?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Four days after he got.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Elected, I want Bill Bratton to be my police commissioner.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Meantime, his wife... Hated Bill Bratton.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: She wanted Phil Banks, who eventually ended up becoming an
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: unindicted co-conspirator. She wanted him. She said, I want him.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So there was battles. And he said, no, no, no, no, no.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He's got a law and order reputation. And that's what
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: saved him in those initial two years before George Floyd.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: By then, Bratton was out and all chaos ensued in
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the city. But this right now, right now, this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a reflex moment, not only for Mamdani, but for the city.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: The DSA feels emboldened by this. The DSA is rising,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and they're speaking out, and they're speaking out against him.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They're saying he hasn't done enough. They're making demands about
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: who should be fired. Now, this is his core, so
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it's not insignificant. These are the people that put him
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: into office. And you've heard him.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: He responded immediately and said, no, no, no, strategic response group,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: it's going away. It's going to go away. If they
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: get that, they're going to make more demands, and he's
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: going to go farther socialist, farther to the left. He's
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: going to get crazier and crazier, and there's nobody here
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: to step up against him. Everybody has been bowing to him.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: He has a fallback.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Former number three in the New York City Police Department
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: under Comrade Bill de Blasio, Rodney Harrison, and under Adams.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He left to become Suffolk County Police Commissioner. And for
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a while, they were like Batman and Robin, the prosecutor
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: out in Suffolk and him. They were doing very well.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And then there were some charges like he was sexually
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: harassing some of the women. So he left before that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: even rose to the top. He has been a part-time consigliere.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to Zoran Mandami. This was well reported early on. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I think if things go south, if Jessica Tisch were
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to ever say, I've had it, no way, I'm not
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: doing these things, I will not be your police commissioner,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I go on, and that means she'll run against him
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for mayor in some capacity.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Love to see that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He will just insert Rodney Harrison, who already knows the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: mechanisms of the NYPD and has been advising him. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: don't think that's what he wants to do, but it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: always a potential fallback situation. I believe he's going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: pay lip service to the DSA, but they're not strong
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: enough to challenge him. At this point, he's 70% in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the polls. He's the most popular Democrat in New York State.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I get it. I get it. But then why did
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: he just bow to the DSA? He just bowed to them. No,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: he didn't. You should have heard him. Oh, no, no, no, no.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, no.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do that. I'm getting to it. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: just only had 10 months so far. I'm going to
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: do everything you wanted. I'm telling you what, it's time
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: to pack up. It's time to get out of here.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: because the socialists are going to take over completely. I've
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: heard it from his own mouth.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Everything is still in place. You believe people. You never
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: trust politicians. They lie every day.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: He's lying.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think he is.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You don't think he is. He's lied so far.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: The strategic response group will be gone within six months.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: If I'm wrong, then you can say that it's a liar.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: He just said it's still there. What do you keep
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: saying that for? He said from day one it'll be gone.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: It's still there. It'll be renamed. I'm telling you, if
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: you've been around long enough in.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: New York City, Larry, they all lie. Don't trust any politicians.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: He's got to keep that DSA force below him. He's
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: got to.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He's gone beyond them.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: No, he hasn't. He hasn't. You believe that. He has
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: not gone beyond that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: He's an international national figure.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. In your mind, in his mind.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Not my mind.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: According to the polls. We got to go. Michael Jordan's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: jersey sells, and you won't believe. This is a jersey
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: from the finals. You won't believe what it sells for. Plus,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: a chance to see Journey next. And don't forget, Jimmy
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Fallon coming up at 835. All right. A Michael Jordan
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: 1998 NBA Finals Game 2 jersey just went up for auction. Now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: if you know, don't guess. But take a guess how
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: much it went for. Oh, I'd say $ 500, 000. $ 500, 000? That's
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a good guess. $ 14 million.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And by the way, how is it authenticated? Because, you know.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: In the locker room, they sign a lot of jerseys
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: sometimes when they win games, you know, for the person
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that they have a contractual relationship with who is in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that business of selling what they call non-knockoffs. You know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: an original Michael jersey, game jersey, game two against the Knicks, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it says here sports memorabilia is authenticated by verifying
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: physical materials, ink and signatures against large databases or by
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: observing the item being signed or used in person or
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: dealing with the team and the individual to make sure
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: that it's true.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: How much of this money did Michael Jordan get was
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a severe gambling issue that he deals with?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Does he still have a gambling issue?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Him and his buddy, Charles Barkley, man, they're welcoming anybody
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: when they're playing golf to play for big money.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Anyway, just to wrap up this story, $ 14 million is
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the most ever paid for basketball memorabilia. However, it comes
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: well short of the most expensive sports memorabilia ever. The
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Babe Ruth 1932 World Series called shot jersey. What the
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: hell is that? Most expensive sports memorabilia ever made.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he did that against the Chicago Cubs. Remember,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it was in the movie. He visits the kid who's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: in the hospital. He's ill, probably with cancer. And he goes,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: whatever you want, kid, I'll do for you. I want you, babe,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to hit a home run.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, so it's the jersey he wore when he hit
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: that home run.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: He pointed to the right field and he hit a
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: home run.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I thought it said called shot on the jersey. And
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: so I was just completely misreading it myself. Yeah, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: don't know how they authenticate this stuff, but it must
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: be authenticated.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I'm a little suspicious when it comes to sports paraphernalia.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Just them.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. Since you brought up Michael
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Jordan and his gambling problem, the big story in Chicago
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: was from people that are pretty close to the Bulls.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Do you remember when he was standing at the foul line?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and he closed his eyes and he made a shot?
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: No.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: The foul shot?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: It's kind of a famous scene. Apparently, he bet on that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: He said on the court during the game, I'll bet
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: you $ 50, 000 I can make this shot with my eyes closed.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I can't verify it's true, but it was told by
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: some people that I would trust in knowing it was true.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Did anybody take him up on that?
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Apparently so. Charles Barkley. That's why he did it. Probably
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Charles Barkley. I'll have to look back to see if
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: it was Charles Barkley because that makes a lot of sense. Also,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: remember he left the game because of his dad dealing with.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: The— He loved baseball. He went to the minor leagues.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: No, apparently it was that incident where they said, hey,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: we don't want to make a big deal out of this,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: but you've got to take a year off. You've got
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to go. We don't want to suspend you. Just take
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a year off. Then he decided to play baseball. That's
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: all coming from Chicago. How much of that is true?
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: So the whole baseball thing was just to get him
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: out of basketball for a little while to quiet down
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: all the gambling? I don't think they quite cared what
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: he did.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: But then he made it. I always wanted to play baseball.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: By the way, he was horrible in the minor leagues. Horrible.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: He bought the bus, a state-of-the-art bus for the team,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: so they loved him. The Birmingham Barons, I think they were.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I went to cover one of the games, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a scout said to me, you know what it's about
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: at this level and all through baseball? Bat speed. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: he ain't got it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Mm-mm.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: That's what he said to me. So I kind of
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: knew he wasn't going to make it. Now let's get
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: to Daria Albinger with the 830 News. Daria.
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: First concert I ever saw. Journey and Loverboy. I'd go
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: see him again.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Wait a second. You saw him with Steve Perry? Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I'm that old. Yes, I did see him with Steve Perry.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: No, that's great. That's wonderful.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: That's a bucket list.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd see them again in a heartbeat with or
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: without Steve Perry.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Mostly sunny, mild, and muggy with a high of 71 degrees.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: It's a record most Americans would rather not see broken.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Today marks 157 days in 2026 when the national average
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: price for regular unleaded gas has been over $ 4 a gallon,
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: tying the record set in 2022. GasBuddy puts the nationwide
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: average today at $ 4. 32 a gallon, virtually ensuring that tomorrow
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: the country will break that streak from four years ago.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: That's ABC's Jim Ryan. Inflation is the number one issue
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: heading into the midterm elections, which are just three weeks
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: from today, and that's what 37% of the respondents said
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: to a YouGov survey. It's the highest percentage since YouGov
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: started asking that question four years ago. The poll says
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: jobs and the economy was number two. Tonight, Governor Hochul
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: and Republican nominee Bruce Blakeman will meet in their only debate.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Despite several polls showing the governor with a double-digit lead
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: over her Republican challenger, Blakeman says those results are well
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: within the margin of error. And who funds these polls?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: State of New York, maybe? Oh, well, who runs the
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: state of New York?
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: He believes the race is neck and neck.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: And by the way, you don't need a poll. You
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: don't attack a Republican in New York State in a
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: statewide election and spend $ 6 million over two weeks unless
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: you're in deep trouble. And Kathy Hochul is in deep trouble.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And on November 3rd, I will be elected the next
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: governor of the state.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: Pope Leo will have surgery today to remove an early
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: stage growth from his lung. The 71-year-old U.S.-born pontiff made
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: the announcement Sunday during his prayer at St. Peter's Square.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: And a jersey that was worn by NBA legend Michael
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: Jordan during the 1998 NBA Finals sold at auction for
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: a record $ 14 million to a real estate investor from Miami.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: It's the third jersey that Jordan wore during the last
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: dance finals, which fetched more than $ 10 million. The Devils
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: lost to Ottawa 4-1. Next news, 9 o'clock. Bulletins at once.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to George Brosnan from Farmingdale, New York, who just
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: won a pair of tickets to see Journey October 25th
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: at the Prudential Center. Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Up next, don't
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: fail me, Jimmy Failure. Remember, you go to sleep with
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Jimmy on 710WOR at night, 9 to 12, Monday through Friday,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and you'll wake up with Larry and Curtis in the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: morning at 6.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Here he is every night, Monday through Friday.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: You've got to be listening to Jimmy Fallon here, 710WOR,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: 9 to 12. You go to sleep with Jimmy, you
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: wake up with Larry and me in the morning at 6. But, Jimmy,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned about you because I saw what happened at
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Tallarico when he came to New York City.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: September 28th, 2019. He was right here.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: He was at Power 105, you know, Charlemagne the God
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: appealing to the black community in Texas. And then he
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: came down with the flu and he was out for
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: 10 days. I said to you the last time, you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: are the busiest guy in show business. jimmy i will
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: sit here in this studio i will hold your hand
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: tight as you get your flu shot because we don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: want you to miss doing a double header in sandusky
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: ohio and wheeling west virginia the same night and then
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: coming back and doing all your appearances on the fox
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: news channel.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I can't tell if you're taking shots at me or
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: you're taking shots at my agent but i will have
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: you know curtis me and my bubonic plague you've just
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: diagnosed me with are down in, I was in Clearwater
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Beach this weekend. I just wrapped up two hot sold
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: out shows, by the way. And I may or may
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: not be filming an episode of Bar Rescue. But the
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: one thing I will tell you about you and your
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: vaccine and all that other jazz is is I got
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: hoodwinked once by one of these. I got the Johnson &
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Johnson during COVID, but what they didn't tell me is
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: it was Magic Johnson and Keyshawn Johnson.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: And now I'm in a whole world.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: I don't know what to do. I don't know what
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: to do. It's just nice to hear your voice from
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: down here in Florida.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Hey, let's talk about Telerico for a second, because I'd
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: like to get your opinion as what happened. And In
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: the MAGA world, in the conservative world, there are a
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: lot of rumors going around that he had to get
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: mental health checked, that he tried to commit suicide, that
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: it was a sexual disease that he had, and he
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: had to get treated. We didn't hear from him for
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: two weeks. What do you think it was?
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Well, it's concerning, okay? Guy disappeared for two weeks. He's
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: not even in the Senate, and he already thinks he's
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Mitch McConnell. You know, you got to keep these guys
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: in check. But in truth, there was some type of exhaustion,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, is my guess. You know, he's calling it
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: the flu. The guy might have been burned. I don't
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: have the honest answer. But what they did, which is interesting,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: if you know how political ops work, is somebody tipped
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: off a conservative influencer that he was being treated in
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: this Ohio healthcare facility. Somebody then went and recorded a
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: phone call that may or may not have been with
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: the actual facility. But the point is that kind of
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: tip is usually given to somebody who's not trying to
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: help the Republicans. He's trying to make them look bad
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: because everybody goes out, runs the story. And then the
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Democrats go, see, it's not true. The clinic said he
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: had nothing to do with them. And in theory, that
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: puts the story to bed, at least from the mental
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: health angle. But the truth is, we don't know that
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: he wasn't treated. We just don't know that he was.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: So you're supposed to just show a little more restraint.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: But I just think this is where we are now.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: It's not good. We live in this maximum strength Tylenol world.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: where everyone is dealing in absolutes and nobody has any idea.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: That's what I find so fascinating about this. Even the
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Ilhan Omar thing, okay? Everybody was like, Trump is fascist,
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: whatever the hell this is. Those warrants were signed for
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: under Joe Biden, okay? It did not start under Trump, okay?
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: And we should be concerned that we've got a congresswoman
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: who met her husband, matched with him on a dating
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: app called Ancestry.com, okay?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: That's concerning. Wait a second.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Ancestry.com.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Now, which husband was it? Was it her brother? Was
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: it the first husband?
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: That's what I was going for with the Ancestry. See,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: I missed that. That went right over my head.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: How many of those shots have you taken? Well, I
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: would have held. Do you have a vaccine injury? What's
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I would have held Tyler Rico's hand if he would
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: have gotten the vaccine when he was up here. But
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I want to take you to Ohio, the Buckeye State.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: The president's been acting a little strange of late. You know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: when he met with Zoran, he said, boy, this is
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a handsome man. And then he's on the stage, packed
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the audience, and he's looking at the sitting senator who
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: replaced J.D.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Vance.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, Husted, I knew you were
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a great athlete. I was staring at your ass. What
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the hell was that about?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, man.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: He needs the gay vote as much as the straight.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Vote, you know?
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: All these votes count the same, Curtis.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about here.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: He's just out there trying to boost some guy's poll numbers.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Good night, everybody!
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, much like Trump, you've performed around the country. You've
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: been to all these red states like Ohio and Iowa
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: and Texas. I don't know if you've ever been to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Alaska to perform, but... You know, Alaska is one of them, too.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Do you see any chance of them really going blue
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: for a Senate seat?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. But this is the big problem.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: It's always, you know, obviously turnout, but like. Paxton is
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: not a good candidate, man. And Republicans will tell you
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: that too. It's like, you know, Tallarico's nuts, okay?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And we know that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: But it's not like Paxton is this slam dunk guy,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: just the same. So that race, nothing would shock me. Ohio, Man,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: that is where my wife is from. And that state
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: is all over the map right now. So it's weird.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: But when I'm on the road, there's one thing I'll
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: tell you, okay? Is they're never talking about what the
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: media is talking about. Meaning they're talking about bills, safety,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: human issues. And the media is focused, it's a lot
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: of sensationalism. Like last night at the Trump rally, a
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: protester got thrown out, it was crazy. that'll get a
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: lot of airtime today, but nobody will vote based on that.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: So I, I, you know, I'm upfront enough to say,
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know, you know, that I guess is the
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: best answer I can give you.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: You mean the guy, he said, you need a diet.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: That guy?
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Which was a girl, by the way.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm pretty sure.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: How do you know?
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: How do you know for sure? Listen, man, in this
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: day and age, you don't. But she did look like
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: her pronouns were cat and lady.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Well, the offer is still available.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I would be more than happy to sit with you
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in the studio, hold your hand real tight.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, real tight.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: While you get that flu vaccine, I don't want to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: see you down for the count. You're the busiest guy
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in show business.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I love this show because one of you is like, hey,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: why is Trump talking about this guy's ass? And the
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: other is like, I want to hold every guy's hand
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: in this city.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I love this show.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: It's my favorite show.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It's just the best. You just really don't know where
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: it's going to go.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: All right, Jimmy. Hey, congratulations on the sellout for the
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: WOR show. That's great.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're pumped up for that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Kachina Calandra, it's going down.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: I've already lied to the wardrobe department and said I
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: was out of town so they don't find.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Me eating bread in New Jersey. So I think we're
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: pulling the goalie. It's going to be a big night.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: By the way, has Natalie been sending you those snapshots
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: early of the loaves of Italian bread?
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: We better hang up before I text her a picture
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: of my cannoli.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Wow, that sounded horrible. That just sounded awful. All right,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: thanks a lot, Jimmy Fallon. Love you guys. Be good.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, when you look at Maine, four debates, U.S. senatorial
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: candidates in nine days. And in New York State, once again,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: four years later, one debate, one debate only. for the governorship,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Attorney General, Comptroller, last time around Tish James, wouldn't even
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: take a debate with Michael Henry, who just barely lost
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to her. So let's focus on the governor's debate tonight.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: We can look back when Lee Zeldin debated Kathy Hochul
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: for the one and one only debate.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I think, hopefully.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Blakeman and his team have looked at that and said,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: what can we do differently? Because we're ahead with men.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: We're now ahead with independents. Obviously, we're starting to do
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: very well with Republicans, you know, waking them up all
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: over the state to come out.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: We got to get some of the women. Can't be
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: as harsh as Lee Zeldin was. At times, Zeldin was angry.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Can't do that. And don't get.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Sucked up into the illegal alien debate and turn half
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of it into that. Yeah, make your points and then
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: move to what people, all people deal with. Affordability, cost
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of living, and utilities. She controls that. Hit her hard.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would suggest something a little bit different than that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Only because there's not going to be a whole lot
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: of people that are going to watch this debate. It's
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: just not going to happen. First of all, because of
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: where it is and no disrespect to New York 1
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: or Spectrum News 1. It's just not going to get
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of people across the state watching it or
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: listening to it. So I think he has to go
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: into it realizing that everybody's going to see this on
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: social media and on the news. That's where they're going
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: to get it. So he's got to go into this
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: with a couple of great lines or great moments that
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: are already pre-scripted. Go into it and make sure that
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: you have something that's going to stand out so much,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to play it and possibly lead the news
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: with it. So that's what I think he's got to
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: go into this with, because you realize most voters are
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: not going to watch this. And most voters are going
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: to go by those type of moments. And everybody that
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: practices for a debate prays for one of those moments.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: And so I hope they're working on it. I'm sure
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: they already are, but we'll find out. By the way,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: if you do want to watch it, you can stream
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: it on YouTube, Spectrum News YouTube channel. Also, the live
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: streams are available at the websites of New York One, NY1,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: and Spectrum News One New York, also on the Spectrum
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: News app.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I would hope that when he walks up to the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: podium and takes his position... He kicks out the box
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that is going to be set up for Kathy Hochul
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to stand on.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: She is the size of Natalie Migliore. Hey, short people
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: over here, including myself.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: But psychologically, it's been proven. It makes a difference. when
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you have a much taller person and a much smaller.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Person oh you're right you're an Amazon woman compared to
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Natalie Migliore Natalie Migliore is really short.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: She's as tall as Kathy Hochul. Hochul is very short.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I never realized that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Let's just say this. If they had a May procession
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: parade for eighth graders, she would be up front.
• 30:02
